Okay. Let me give you just some of the highlights from the affidavit.

The important part of the affidavit. This is the story now from the police. That Paul Pelosi had a break-in at his house, and they arrested this guy named DePape.
And he spilled his guts. He sang like a bird. As soon as they read him his Miranda Rights, he's what he said. DePape says he pulled a hammer from Pelosi's hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head.

Now, I want to go back just a little bit here, because I need you to hear what the police said at first.

At 2:31 a.m. San Francisco Police Department, the Officer Colby Willems responded to the Pelosi residence, knocked on the front door.

Now, listen to this.

Because this is odd. When the door was opened, Pelosi and DePape were both holding a hammer with one hand and DePape had his other hand, holding on to Pelosi's firearm.

Pelosi greeted the officers. Now, wait a minute.

Hang on just a second. First of all, what do you mean the door was opened?

Who opened the door? Was Stretch Armstrong there? What happened? Who opened the door?

And when they opened it, Pelosi and DePape were both holding a hammer with one hand. DePape had his other, holding on to Pelosi's forearm.

So we know it couldn't be DePape that opened the door. And, again, unless Pelosi is Stretch Armstrong, who opened the door?

Pelosi greeted the officers. Hey, how are you doing? The officers asked, what was going on? DePape responded that everything was good. Officers then asked Pelosi and DePape to drop the hammer. Here's the affidavit now: DePape pulled a hammer from Pelosi's hand, swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head.

Officers immediately went inside, and were able to restrain DePape. While the officers were restraining DePape, Pelosi appeared to be unconscious on the ground. Officers removed a cell phone, cash, clipper cards, and an unidentified card from DePape's right shorts pocket. So he wasn't in underpants. He was in shorts. DePape provided officers his first and last name, after officers asked DePape had ID on him. DePape said, yeah, it might be in my backpack on the back porch. He later stated. My backpack is near the broken glass, dudes.

When officers removed DePape from Pelosi's residence, police body worn camera footage showed a glass door, that appeared to be laminated glass, broken near the door handle. San Francisco police department uncovered zip ties in the Pelosi bedroom, and also near the hallway near the front door of the Pelosi residence. In addition, in addition, law enforcement searched DePape's backpack, at the Pelosi residence. They found among other things, a roll of tape. White rope. One hammer of. One pair of rubber and cloth gloves. And one journal. So there were two hammers, but one was in the backpack.

Witness statements, San Francisco Police Officer Colby Willems was able to interview a witness, who saw an individual all in black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence, where witness one was parked.

Okay. So hang on just a second. So if he was all dressed in black, did he put black face on his legs?

Because we just found out he was wearing shorts.

STU: I -- I -- well, you could be dressed in black. And have your very white skin showing.

GLENN: Yeah. It would be weird.

Witness number one, was working private security and at an address nearby.

Witness one had heard what sounded like a banging on either the door or the car, and heard sirens within a minute or two. Pelosi was interviewed by the police officer, Adrienne Stark, in the ambulance during the transport to San Francisco General Hospital.

Pelosi stated, he had never seen DePape before. Pelosi was asleep, when he came into his bedroom. And stated, he wanted to talk to Nancy. When Pelosi told him that Nancy was not there. He just told them, well, we'll just sit and wait.

When he then said, Nancy is not going to be home for several days, DePape reiterated, he would wait. Pelosi was unable to go into the bathroom, in which he was able to call 911.

He stated when the officers arrived, that was when DePape struck him with a hammer.

In subsequent interview with law enforcement officers, he said, that the hammer did not belong to the Pelosi family.

In a Mirandized and recorded interviews by San Francisco Police, DePape stated, he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her. If Nancy were to tell DePape the truth, he would let her go.

STU: Oh.

GLENN: If she lied, he was going to break her kneecaps. DePape was certain that Nancy would not have told the truth. In the course of the interview, DePape articulated he viewed Nancy as the leader of the pack of lies, told by the Democratic Party. DePape also later explained that by breaking Nancy's kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other members of Congress, there were consequences to actions. DePape also explained generally, that he wanted to use Nancy to lure another individual, to DePape. DePape stated, that he broke into the house, through the back door, which was a difficult task, and requires the use of a hammer. DePape stated that Pelosi was in bed, appeared surprised by DePape.

STU: Yeah. I'm sure.

GLENN: Yeah. DePape told Pelosi to wake up. DePape told Pelosi that he was looking for Nancy. Pelosi responded, she wasn't present. Pelosi asked how they could resolve the situation.

And let's see. And what DePape wanted to do. He stated, he wanted to tie DePape up. So DePape could go to sleep.

As he was pretty tired, because he had to carry a backpack to the residence.

Doesn't that seem like your average hippie? Yeah. I had to walk up all these hills. I'm sleepy. You keep your eye out for the Coppers, while I take a nap.

Around this time, DePape started taking out twist ties from his pocket, so he could restrain Pelosi.

Pelosi moved towards another part of the house, but DePape stopped him. Together they went back to the bedroom. While talking with each other, Pelosi went into the bathroom, where he grabbed a phone to call 911.

He said DePape said, he felt like Pelosi's actions compelled him to respond. He remembered thinking, there was no way police were going to forget about that phone call. DePape explained, he did not leave, after Pelosi's call to 911. Because much like the American Founding Fathers with the British, he was fighting against tyranny without an option of surrender.

Okay. Now, here's the interesting thing: DePape stated that they went down stairs to the front door. The police arrived and knocked on the door. And Pelosi ran over, to open it.

Pelosi then grabbed on to DePape's hammer, which was in DePape's hand. At this point in the interview, he repeated that DePape did not plan to surrender, and he would go through Pelosi.

Okay. Wait. Why would you go back to the hammer? Police are there. Why would you go back to the hammer. That doesn't make any sense.

There's something wrong with the door thing. I don't know what it is. And it might just be an error somewhere.

But there's something wrong with that.

STU: We should eventually know. We should see the video. Right?

GLENN: We should see the video. We should see the video.

Now, when he's talking about Founding Fathers.

That's weird. Because remember that thing we fixed after 9/11. When people overstay their Visas, we kick them out right away. So we know who's here. Yeah, and Department of Homeland Security. That's what they do.

This guy, long-time overstay. He's a Canadian. He's an illegal Canadian from Canada. So he's really into our Founding Fathers?

This hippie, that has Black Lives Matter, on his -- on his house.

Really?

STU: An interesting profile of a person, I'll tell you that.

GLENN: It sure is. It sure is.

My guess is, he's crazy. But I just want to point out, how good it is of the media. You know, they haven't figured out the January 6th pipe bomber.

Can't find him. Don't know where he is. Don't know who he is. What?

Yeah. We have video, but what are we going to do with video?

I mean, it's not like we have facial recognition or anything like that. We couldn't. He's not on the phone at the time. There's no way we could triangulate, and find out, you know, where he was, who he was, by just using a phone like that.

Of course we haven't found the Supreme Court leaker. A single one of Epstein's clients. We don't know the motive of the Las Vegas shooter.

But Paul Pelosi, that midnight visitor. Man, they knew he was a Republican, that fast. And it was -- it's good to know. It's good to know. By the way, the mainstream media, here's the problem: The mainstream media picks and chooses. If it was -- if it was you know fair and honest and balanced and they told the truth about everything. You know you wouldn't have this argument.

But you know the right-wing is out of control. It's weird, because I don't think it was the ones who was responsible for burning cities down.

And hundreds of attacks on Republicans. So, I mean, I don't know if, you know, this, but there are 639 receipts for their violence. And mass shooting.

There was the time that Jane Fonda promoted kidnapping, caging, and raping Barron Trump. I love that one. That was a favorite. They attacked Roger Stone's handicapped wife, while walking a dog.

Vandalized the homes of political opponents, tried to kick in the door of Tucker Carlson.

Journalist that stabbed two Trump supporters. The home of a Trump supporter that was bombed.

They drove through a crowd of Trump supporters. They've left dead animals, and threats outside of Republican homes.

They've threatened to burn down the homes of Trump supporters. Shot at Trump supporters. Fired a gun at a march.

Beat a 77-year-old for wearing a MAGA hat. Threatened Republicans on Twitter, every day. Sent Ricen to Trump. Taught leftists to hate students.

They've defaced property of Trump supporters. They egged children at a Trump rally. Teachers threatened death on G.O.P. They've beaten a 12-year-old boy, for a Trump sign.

Beat a woman for wearing a Trump hat. They've destroyed property. We have 300 stories like that. Just thought I would -- you know, but that -- real quick, that New York Post hacker last Friday. The guy who wrote Rufo. He took over the feed of the New York Post.

He worked at the New York Post. He's apologized. He said, oh, man. It was just the utmost betrayal of my people. I pretended to hack into the New York Post website. And you know it was my job. But I let my stupidity get the best of me. But I want you to know, I deserve to get fired. But it wasn't politically motivated. Uh-huh.

Let me just give you a few of the post. Rufo, we must destroy and imprison union teachers. Zeldin. Eric Adams is New York City's fried chicken eating monkey.

Governor Abbott. I'll order Border Patrol to start slaughtering illegals. Zeldin, I'll rape and batter Hochul's sorry ass. The New York Post, he also posted, we must assassinate AOC for America.

Divine. We must murder Joe and Hunter Biden. New York Post, that he posted -- Frank, I'll beat up the sorry ass Burgin bitches like Gotheimer and his family.

I don't know why people say that those were politically motivated.

STU: I mean, maybe there's the slightest hint of politics involved.

But it's difficult to detect, unless you're really a trained observer.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. I could go on. I have 135 attacks on pro-life people. Just between May 3rd and September 24th.

But, remember, it is the Republicans, that are conspiracy theorists. One more thing. Just one more thing. I'm sorry.

Kathy Hochul, has come out yesterday. With a very important thing. She says, that the people who mention you know anything to do with the race being fixed. Data deniers. And conspiracy theorists.

She said, these are master manipulators. And you know there's a conspiracy that they're pedaling now, that they -- there's this conspiracy going all across America, to convince people, that in democratic states, they're not safe.

Wow. What a conspiracy, that is. Who is the conspiracy theorist?

Megyn Kelly EVISCERATES ABC Debate moderators for Kamala bias

@MegynKelly‬ joins Glenn Beck to react to the ABC News Presidential Debate. At no point was it Donald Trump vs Kamala Harris, she argues. It was Trump vs EVERYONE. As a former presidential debate moderator herself, Megyn tears into the ABC News moderators for "fact-checking" Trump while letting Kamala get away with lie after lie: “The only time you should weigh in as a moderator is if the integrity of your question is attacked. These ABC News moderators didn’t understand that, or they just didn’t care.” Plus, Megan explains why she believes Harris' performance at the debate didn't win her any votes: "The person who’s going to be [our first female president] is not going to be an emotionally unregulated, harrumphing, sighing hysteric.”

GLENN: Megyn Kelly, welcome to the program. How are you, Megyn?

MEGYN: Enraged. Angry. Just in disbelief at what our imagery has become.

GLENN: It was state-run media.

For her to go in and say so many lies. She -- that proves, this is state-run media.

She knew she could get away with saying lie after lie after lie after lie.

I've never seen anything like it.

And no corrections.

MEGYN: I could have lived with that. Politicians lie all the time. But the one-sided, quote, fact-checking was so outrageous.

I would have been fine. They have done what CNN did. Which is just be quiet. Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did not try to fact-check the candidates. They let them do that to each other. Which is totally appropriate in a presidential debate. It's actually the way it should be. It's not our job to set the record straight.

The only time you should weigh in as a moderator, is if the integrity of your questions is attacked. Right? Like they're attacking the underlying foundation for what they're asking. But as for the answer, that's for the other candidate to do.

And these ABC news moderators didn't understand that, or they just didn't care. If CNN actually got hammered by the left for doing that, the left wanted them to get out there and criticize Donald Trump. And they said, oh, no, you said this. And that's wrong and so on. And ABC News clearly watched that and said, oh, well, that can't be us.

We've got to pander to our base. And so they only fact-checked him. Their fact-checks were incorrect and/or were opinion.

And then you had the assist by the rest of the media, and back to CNN. And its absolute credence, named Daniel Dale.

Who is fact-checked after the fact. Was that Trump lied 33 times. And she lied once!

GLENN: Once!

MEGYN: That's what we're up against. Yes!

GLENN: What was the one he picked?

Was it like a lottery? You put all the lies into a little basket, and you twirl it around, mix it up.

B17. What was the lie?

MEGYN: Yeah. He didn't make that clear. Because on Twitter, he called her out for trying to claim that she had reversed her -- her personal stance on fracking in 2020. You know, she wanted to ban it. And then in 2020, she has been claiming she didn't want to ban it, which isn't true.

In 2020, the VP debate, she said Joe Biden would not ban it. She has never put her stance on it.

But nothing about the Charlottesville, both sides lie, about the bloodbath, about the 2025 nonsense, about saying Trump is against IVF.

Nothing. No, that's fine.

GLENN: So, Megyn, what she had to do last night was assure people, that -- that hadn't seen her, act presidential, to appear to be strong, tough, and presidential.

Did she do that, for enough people?

MEGYN: Well, you added that phrase at the end. Which makes me say, no.

"For enough people." I don't think it was a game-changer last night. I think most people will say, she won the debate. But here's what I saw.

I saw somebody who engaged in nothing, but personal ad hominem attacks against Donald Trump throughout.

I mean, at every chance she could. She went low, insulted him personally. And on that, he actually didn't take the bait. He took the bait on every other thing. You know, on the subject of immigration, and suddenly, we're off topic about rally size. And he went there.

Okay. But on the personal attacks, he didn't. I saw somebody who couldn't control herself emotionally. She was on screen, right? Harrumphing. Rolling her eyes. Hands up on the chin. Like, oh, aren't you so interesting?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. That was -- I've never seen anybody actually put their hand up on the chin, and rest their elbow on their other hand.

I mean, it was --

MEGYN: And let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. This country has not elected a female president in 250 years. The person who is going to be number one is not going to be an emotionally unregulated, harrumphing, sighing, hysteric. And that's how she appeared in the split screen for the first half an hour of the debate. She's not a controlled leader. I cannot believe that the people sitting at home, don't forget this election is coming down at the margins to men versus women.

Men are for Trump. And women are for Kamala. That these men sitting at home, are going to say, I'm going to vote for her.

I can sit at home, on Election Day, and let her win. I just think they're going to be motivated by how extreme she is. Yes, on policy. Which Trump failed to point out last night.

But her behavior. She's not a strong leader. She's the opposite of a Margaret Thatcher. And I think her schoolgirl attacks on him personally. You know, trying to undermine the dignity of this man who served as president. And who almost was assassinated a month or two ago. And her eye rolling and so on.

Which telegraphs, I can't control myself. Were a real turnoff.

GLENN: Let me ask you.

I was personally offended. And I can't imagine that the American people weren't.

When he was talking about how people are suffering.

And you can't afford, you know, the groceries, at the grocery store.

When she laughed and rolled her eyes, at that. I saw that, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. You -- you're in, A, such denial, that that is happening.

Or you just don't care!

Do you think that -- did that play on you?

MEGYN: Yep. It was moment that she laughed. She laughed when he was raising what was happening in Springfield, Ohio.

She openly laughed. These four people, if you can accept the testimonials or not, they have not, in fact, been debunked. You have one city manager, who says he can't prove any of that.

He hasn't found the proof of it.

That doesn't mean it didn't happen. Another totally inappropriate quote, fact checked by David Muir. What we have here is a "he said, she said" situation. It's not up to the moderators to try to fix it.

But she laughed at it. She rolled her eyes. And what is she laughing at? Immigration. What's happening in our cities, because of the minimal. This has what has been documented. 10.4 million illegals, who have come under her watch.

2.3 million under Trump's four years. 10.4, minimum, not counting gotaways, under hers.

And when the question is raised, look at what's happening to American cities, because of it. She laughed.

You know who is not laughing? The family of Laken Riley, the family of that 12-year-old little girl who was murdered by illegals down at the Southern border, who Trump went down and spent time with.

That's the kind of stuff, Trump needed to raise and didn't.

But at a minimum, his team now today, needs to be showing cackling Kamala, back at it, on the two worse issues for her: The economy and immigration.

GLENN: Yeah. Can you run for president?

You would make a really good president. You would. You would make a really good president.

MEGYN: Thank you. I'm too happy a person for that.
(laughter)

GLENN: So you agree that Trump -- she came out immediately and said, let's do another one.

I think he should say, sure. Let's do five.

MEGYN: Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, that would be amazing.

And you know what they should say, I'll do it. And I'll pick one moderator. And you pick the other.

Why don't we do that?

Don't give it to -- if Trump agrees to go on another mainstream -- and that's a fake term. That is just a BS term. What is mainstream about these people?

GLENN: I think we should start calling them state media. It's state media now.

MEGYN: True. This is one example. How many questions did we have on 2020 election denialism and so on? And how many questions did we have about what's being done to young girls in this country, and about the cutting off body parts of kids who are just confused, because their parents got a divorce.

Not one. They don't care. They're in favor of that. That's not mainstream. So, anyway, if he agrees to go back on the air and do a debate with another state-run media company -- NBC, CBS, obviously ABC is out -- they ought to be out forever. No Republican should ever agree to that again.

GLENN: Ever. Ever.

MEGYN: MSNBC. Then he deserves what he gets. He deserves what he gets. It should be, if they do anything at this point forward, there's no moderator. They go mono a mono. Or he picks one, and she picks one.

GLENN: But he has got to expose her, because nobody else will. And she will crumble eventually. I mean, she just -- she's arrogant now.

She came in after five days of memorizing all of these lies. Really well-prepared.

MEGYN: Yes. Uh-huh. That's what was so frustrating, Glenn.

You can see it, couldn't you.

She was like an automaton. Giving these lies. She heard this before the DNC.

Mark Halperin reported that she's been getting help -- he did it sort of tongue-in-cheek, so you had to read between the lines.

But it was CAA. And Brian Lord who was one of the heads of CAA. One of the most powerful agencies or one of them. Talent agency, in the country.

And that they were bringing in top Hollywood actors and actresses, to coach her, on delivery.

That's what she -- it takes to make her salable to the American people. But I really believe that the people sitting in Ohio, know that. They watched that. And there's just no way, they looked at her, and thought, yeah. This is the genuine person who cares about me.

She barely talked about them.

Her whole -- debate performance was to convince them -- by the way, same stance of the moderators. How terrible Trump is.

It was not, your first day in service. She tried to say, oh, I'm middle class. And I understand your problems.

It was not about them, or the economy.

GLENN: One last thing.

When she was calling him week, and remember, she said -- you're going to hear nothing, but name-calling tonight. Well, yes, from her.

But when she kept saying over and over again, you know, you're weak. You're weak. You're weak.

She was just trying to get the under his skin, the entire time. And I have to tell you, I don't know if I could have been as restrained as he was last night. You know, 90 minutes of lies.

MEGYN: I don't.

GLENN: I don't think I could have contained myself. I would have lost.

MEGYN: I agree. I agree.

I mean, my blood was boiling. His blood had to be boiling. Obviously, this was her plan. But the -- the number of personal emasculating attacks, she launched on him.

If he had done anything like that, to her. He would be getting lectured all day, about his misogyny.

GLENN: Yes.

MEGYN: But she got away with it entirely. And all I could think of when I looked at Trump, this is like a soldier in -- in a foxhole. Surrounded by enemy fire.

GLENN: Yeah.

MEGYN: Trying to return fire, you know, one by one by one. But the hits we him were uniform.

It was a pile-on. It was non-stop. And when I looked at the way ABC handled it.

100 percent as effective and strong as a competitor to him, as she was.

All I could think was, ambush.

This is an ambush. They laid a trap for him, by assuring him, they could be fair.

He fell for it. He walked in there. And all they did was ask him horrible questions for him.

If he didn't answer it. You know, he tried to bridge. Or he had his own messaging. On him, they would follow-up. The question was this. The question was this.

On her, they never did that. And then they would try to fact-check him. And nine times out of ten. Their fact-check was incorrect.

And they never once fact-checked her.

And all of the topic selection was left-wing anti-Trump. I mean, every single question they asked, maybe two were normal.

GLENN: It was. It was.

MEGYN: So he was like the soldier that was ambushed.

And now, I do have a belief.

I know it's contrarian.

But I really have a belief. That the average American at home, who watches that, gets it on a visceral level.

And I just don't expect any sort of big bounce for her.

GLENN: From your lips to God's ear. Thank you so much, Megyn.

You can hear Megyn and, you know, her whole opinion on Sirius XM, immediately following this program on Triumph.

Thank you so much. Appreciate it, Megyn.

MEGYN: My pleasure.

GLENN: You bet. Buh-bye.

OUTRAGEOUS! Glenn Beck REACTS to Harris/Trump ABC News Presidential Debate

"I have never heard as many LIES in any debate." Glenn Beck rails against the "state-run media" immediately after watching the ABC News Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Not only did Harris spew lie after lie, but the ABC News moderators ONLY fact-checked Trump! Joining Glenn for analysis on the panel are fellow BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere of‪@studoesamerica‬, Sara Gonzales of‪@saragonzalesunfiltered‬, ‪@lizwheeler‬, and Steve Deace‪@sdeace‬‪@sdeace‬.

Liz Wheeler: Trump must EXPOSE these RADICAL Kamala Harris plans

BlazeTV host ‪@lizwheeler‬ joins Glenn Beck with her predictions for the ABC News debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Does Kamala want to appear as a “girl boss” taking on a white, patriarchal bully? How should Trump counter this? Liz advises Trump to focus on how radical Harris is, despite what she claims on the campaign trail: highlight her record on things like abortion, child gender surgeries, the military and foreign wars, and the economy.

GLENN: Liz Wheeler. How are you?

LIZ: Hi, I'm well. Thanks for having had me.

GLENN: You're welcome. You're welcome. So I guess I will start with where Stu started with me this morning. Are you optimistic?

LIZ: I'm so excited for this debate.

GLENN: Are you really?

LIZ: Yes. I'm a political nerd. I just love this stuff.

I know it's a circus. It's a clown show.

It seems like a culmination of what we fight for every day. We finally have two people that are representing polar opposite viewpoints for our country.

Different paths. And I'm rooting for Trump.

I think he can win. But I think one of the most important thing he has to do is understand his enemy. If you know your enemy, then you will be able to tweet them. And he has to be very self-aware that Kamala Harris will be this girl boss. Girl power. She will try to provoke him emotionally.

And he has to be able to let that roll off his back.

GLENN: So what do you mean, she will be the girl boss, girl power?

LIZ: Remember when she was debating Mike Pence during the last round, and she goes, excuse me, Vice President, I'm speaking?

Why do you think this time, her team, insisted that the mics be left open. Remember, the first debates?

Between Trump and Biden. The mics were muted. So you could only speak during your allotted time, otherwise no one would be able to hear you. All of a sudden, she had agreed to this.

Then last week, her team said, we want the mics open. Why?

So she could run these, quote, unquote, fact-checks in realtime.

She can say, you're lying, I'm speaking. And make it seem like he's this white patriarchal male, who is trying to be a bully to her as a woman of color.

GLENN: Right.

I think if he handle this is debate, exactly the same way, he handled it the way with Joe Biden.

He will do really well.

LIZ: Yes. He did very well with Joe Biden.

Because he was so disciplined with his message.

See, this is the thing. Kamala Harris is a radical. She is not moderate. She's not centrist. She shouldn't appeal to independents. She is a radical leftist. A Marxist. Her father was a Marxist. Is a Marxist.

Economics professor.

And Donald Trump should highlight that.

He has all the facts on his side.

She had been in the White House for four years thousand.

Her record is Joe Biden's record.

GLENN: Well, I don't know if you heard the news today.

But her policy page is Joe Biden's policy page.

How do you do that?

LIZ: It's like a gift to the Trump campaign.

GLENN: Oh, it absolutely is.

LIZ: She will come out and pretend to be a prosecutor. She will ask him pointed question after pointed question without --

GLENN: Yeah, she will call him a felon.

LIZ: Yes, and you know what she should do?

If she calls him a felon. Because she's going to -- that's polled well for them. He should say, Madam Vice President, do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling, that the vaccine mandate that came from the Biden/Harris administration was illegal? If she says she agrees with the Supreme Court, then she is acknowledging that she was a tyrant. Trying to violate all of our medical freedoms. And if she says no, I think the Supreme Court is wrong. Then she's saying, she thinks it's illegal to do that.

When you want to talk about crime -- a visceral response that people are going to have to a crime committed against them, he should pivot to the topic that's important for the viewers to understand. He's never going to change Kamala's mind on mind.

That's not the point. The point is to showcase the American people, what she is.

GLENN: You know, you've started with saying. And I've wanted this for a long time.

If we're going to talk about communism. We're going to talk about truly changing the economy.

Changing the Constitution.

All the things that the world economic four up until has been doing.

Along with the Biden Harris thing.

Then let's have that -- let's that have conversation, honestly. You know.

And we do have, literally, a communist.

She -- what she is preparing, is communism.

And her dad loves that stuff. So she grew up steeped in all of this stuff.

But she won't admit it. That's the problem.

LIZ: No, but her track record shows it. So all Trump has to do is remember one question. Every time she makes an assertion, he should say, what does that mean?

He should say it rhetorically. He shouldn't give her back the microphone. He says, I'm going to be tough on the border. What does that mean?

During the past four years, when you were in the White House and had control of this, as the border czar, which was acknowledged by the United States Congress after Biden appointed you to that position, eight and a half million illegal aliens cross the border. So when you say you will be tough on the border, is that your definition of tough on the border, or did you fail when you had a chance at this job?

GLENN: She is going to say, we have greatly stopped the flow of --

KAMALA: I hope she does, because that will turn people off.

Because people have Haitian migrants eating ducks in their front yard in Springfield, Ohio. They won't believe her when she says, everything is hunky-dory.

GLENN: Yeah, I don't -- tell me this.
I said to Stu yesterday, that I'm actually becoming more and more optimistic about this election.

Because things are getting so bad.

KAMALA: Yeah.

GLENN: That the average person. I mean if you're -- you're a stay at home mom. If you're a mom, you are worried about your kids getting to and from school. Even in California.

Where now the immigrants are just staying at the bus stop.

Standing there with your kids. And if the bus sees a bunch of immigrants there.

Because they're trying to get on the buses. If they see them, they just blow on by. They won't pick your kid up.

So now your kid is left at the bus stop, with illegals, because the bus driver does not want to stop. You have your -- every day, you're going in, and you're fighting against prices.

The rate of the rise of inflation. Has slowed down.

But they keep saying that, you know, inflation is -- is falling.

No. The rate of how -- the rate of how -- of going up. Has slowed down.

But we're still 20 to 23 percent inflation, compared to when Trump was in office.

GLENN: That's all he has to say.

He just has to say. My fellow Americans. How much are you paying for groceries right now?

What was your grocery bill last week? How much did it cost you to fill up your tank of gas, the last time you filled up at the gas station?

And then he says, and how much did it cost when I was president?

And if Kamala Harris says, I will impose price controls, or some other Communist measure for the food industry. That's her general idea. Which showcases exactly what she is. He just has to say, well, do you support continuing to send US dollars to Ukraine. Because that's what's causing inflation.

She will say, yes. This is a fight against Putin. He's a tyrant. Blah, blah, blah. After she finishes her spiel, Trump just says, okay. So what I'm hearing you say, is, yes, you want to continue to spend American dollars in Ukraine.

Which means you're saying to the American people, you don't care how much their gas and groceries cost.

I do care. And I've proved that. Because when I was in the White House, people had a very different life, than when you were in the White House.

GLENN: Yes. When it comes up to Ukraine. I mean, right now, Afghanistan is on everybody's mind again because it was the anniversary.

And that was such a disaster. And now, we are -- we are openly praising Ukrainians for their drone attacks on Moscow.

We would never put a -- if Canada became an enemy, and Russia was sending drones over. And military equipment.

And they were -- they were bombing with drones. New York or Washington, DC.

We would not put up with it.

They're not going to put up with it either.

And you can't -- how is she going to make the case, that we are safer today?

Again, I go back to the mom, worried about her kids.

I don't want to send my kids to war.

I don't want our world to be at war. I'm also, I don't want drag queens in my -- at my school, you know, for my kids.

All of these things are so much worse.

That I just think that, when people close the curtain, this time around, they are going to reflect. Do I want more of this?

GLENN: Right. This is why I encourage President Trump to stay on message. Because if you get into the weeds on the personal stuff, as entertaining as that might be for us to watch for a moment, the average American wants to talk about how things impacted them. That's classic politics.

So with the war in Ukraine. Yes. You can talk about these hypothetical war plans. The truth of the matter is, Kamala is dragging us to the bring of war. She's arguably the one who started this war, by saying Ukraine could be part of NATO.

That was, what? A month before Russia invaded Ukraine.

There's no doubt, that there was a correlation between those comments and the onset of this war. She is a warmonger. She wants to continue this.

And then she wants to draft our daughters and send them to the war. Tell that to the average suburban mom. I have two young daughters. The idea that Kamala Harris could send them off to war, enrages me.

GLENN: I have an 18-year-old daughter. That could be drafted, I guess, under her, if we went into a war. That is --

LIZ: It's unacceptable.

GLENN: And there's no Canada for my son to run to. But I would have to have some place for my son and daughter to run to.

They will not serve in a war with these people. They won't. I, as a dad would say, do not do it. Where do we have you go to?

LIZ: And it's a very frightening prospect in our country. We shouldn't be in a situation where we feel like we have to run away from our country, otherwise our children --

GLENN: Yeah. I have never felt that way. Never. Under any president.

LIZ: I have not either. And I'm a newer parent than you are. My oldest is three and a half.

But my idea that I'm already having to think about all these different ways to protect her, from the left trying to get her. Whether trying to indoctrinate her on abortion.

I actually had last year. It was not this past November, but the November before. I had a debate with the local school board member, outside the polls. I was walking in and carrying my daughter on my hip. And the school board member, or this candidate I knew was very leftist. And she wanted to talk about her policies. And I was like, sure. I enjoy this a little bit.

And I said to her, do you believe in teaching trend-setter ideology to children? And she goes, oh, we need to be inclusive. I held up my daughter who I don't use for political props. But she was just there with me voting. And I said, so if my 2-year-old at the time, said she wanted to be a boy, you would transition her behind my back? And essentially, she said yes. And I said, evil. That's evil. That's what we're fighting against. People who will say that to your face.

GLENN: I know.

LIZ: President Trump should bring that up.

GLENN: You know, it's amazing what they will say to our face. And then what they say is a conspiracy theory. That they always turn out now, to be absolutely accurate. And they eventually admit it. Yes. Okay.

That is true. The things that they say to our face, are frightening enough. When somebody is unclear with you, in this administration, you should be terrified.

And I don't know why people continue to listen to liars. You know, Donald Trump exaggerates. He exaggerates.

I don't know. I mean, I can't think of anything. Of any importance, that he has exaggerated or lied about.

Can you think of anything that he lied about?

STU: For example, we talked about a couple of times. When he was saying, no. No one opposed Roe vs. Wade being overturned. Right?

Now, what he's talking about there is clearly there were, a lot of people on the left, legal scholars who did think it was bad law. So he is summarizing a legitimate situation by overstating it.
GLENN: Yes. Correct. Correct.

LIZ: It's like a general -- a hyperbolic generalization on a lie. I'm not trying to justify or be precise. But there is a difference.

GLENN: Yeah. There is a difference. And especially when you know you're lying.

You know, it's one thing to say this, and, you know. And he said, there are fine people on both sides.

No. At this point, you are engaging in evil, because you know exactly what you're doing.

That is exact opposite of what he said. And they just. I guess people just are -- they're either numb to it. Or they hopefully are waking up, and going, you know what, these people have given me this crap, in my -- in my home. In my bank account. And with -- in my city.

I can't trust them anymore. I don't -- I mean, I just can't keep doing it.

LIZ: Right. And obviously, Kamala is responsible for her own lies. But the institution that is responsible for allowing her to be a liar is the mainstream media. And that's what I would advise President Trump.

He shouldn't come off as a bully. There is the idea that if you have a man and a woman on stage, and the man is being harsh, there are a lot of women, who will interpret that as being a bullying demeanor.

Whether or not it's true, that's simply the reality of how people perceive things. And so he should say, what does that mean? When she says a lie.

Because here are the statistics that show that that's not true. And say, I don't know why you're not -- but to deceive the American people. But this is why -- this is a good example of the damage that happens when the mainstream runs interference for you. Because you shouldn't be on the stage if you're not going to tell a truth. But that should have been weeded out years ago by media actually doing their job and asking questions, about why you were contradicting your actions.

GLENN: All right. Back in just a second. We're with Liz Wheeler. I want to talk to you, Liz, about abortion. How should he handle? Because that's her big thing.

She's in the evil territory.

LIZ: She's not just pro-choice. She's pro-abortion.

GLENN: Oh, yeah, and she's almost Malthusian. You know, when you're willing to go, well, let the baby die after birth. That's a problem.

LIZ: It's child sacrifice.

GLENN: Yeah. It is.

So how should he handle abortion? Because she's going to lie and say, he wants to take all of your rights away. Which he doesn't. But he -- he has to say, what he actually believes. But he also can't piss off his own core, because he already is --

LIZ: He did.

GLENN: Yeah. He's already pissed them off. So he doesn't need to make it worse. How does he respond to that?

LIZ: It depends on how she brings it up. I'm more pro-life than Donald Trump. I'm a pro-life absolutist, and I encourage Donald Trump and everyone to be the same.

I acknowledge the reality that he is not. My advice to him would be to start out by praising life. Say, life is precious. Life is wonderful. I have five children. I have however many grandchildren. They have been the biggest blessings of my life. And I want to ensure that women across our country and American families, I want to make abortion unthinkable. I want to change the culture so that life is something that we value. I want to us think, who might this young girl or young boy be?

And I want to make it financially possible, I want people to feel financially secure and emotionally supported when they face these surprise pregnancies.

I believe that life begins at conception. I know he's unlikely to say that. Because he talks often about thinking abortion is okay through six weeks. I obviously disagree with that. But I encourage him to follow the science.

He always talks about following the heart. If he truly spends some time and reflection, I think he should be based.

I think he should say, abortion is wrong. Abortion is sad. Abortion ends the life of an unborn baby, who had potential and a future. And it harms women, it harms families. It harms our country. I don't want that.

And he should make it a generally positive message, without sacrificing the value of the dignity of life.

GLENN: Can he go in to, you know, she wants -- she wants abortion after birth?

CAORL: Oh, of course, he should highlight. He, of course, should highlight just how radical she is.

I mean, this is one of the most radical politicians in our country on abortion, if not the most.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. She's almost Margaret Sanger.

LIZ: Probably more so, because Margaret Sanger at the beginning didn't support late-term abortion or after-birth abortion.

GLENN: That's true. That's true.

LIZ: Kamala Harris does.

And he should highlight, that she's out of step with the American people. Even women who identify as pro-choice, 80 percent of Americans, including pro-choice women want late-term abortion to be banned.

Sixty percent want late-term abortion should be banned. He should highlight that he stands with the majority of America. And that she -- she does not.

And he certainly should highlight that the CDC says between 13 and 30,000 times a year, late-term abortions happen. That's awful.

GLENN: Liz Wheeler. She'll be joining us tonight for our live coverage of the debate on Blaze TV.

DEBATE PREDICTION: Will Kamala & ABC News try to TRAP Trump?

The first debate between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is quickly approaching. So, Glenn and Stu give their best predictions: Will Trump force Harris to finally admit the policies she’s for? Will Harris try to trap Trump into making comments that the media can spin? Will she just call him a “felon” constantly? Will Trump bring his classic energy, or has surviving an assassination attempt mellowed him? And which would be better in his face-off against Harris? Glenn and Stu also discuss a report from the Media Research Center, which found that the debate’s host network, ABC News, is as biased as can be.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

STU: So the debate is tonight.

GLENN: Yes, it is.

STU: And it is going to be an interesting one. I don't think it can live up to the standards of the last one. I just don't think that it can get to that level.

GLENN: Yeah. But wouldn't it be nice?

STU: I think so. As long as it doesn't happen in the opposite direction.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

But there is a chance that either one of them, could just step on a land mine.

STU: It's very possible.

And I'm -- I will -- are you concerned?

What's your concern level? One to ten. Glenn Beck concern level going into tonight.

GLENN: Because it's American politics, and the stakes are so high. One to ten. 100.

STU: Yeah. I'm kind of there. I don't know if we're there for the same reasons.

GLENN: What?

STU: Because the stakes are super high. Obviously, you're concerned.

GLENN: That's 99 percent of it.

STU: Your concern is not Kamala Harris is an amazing debater, right?

GLENN: No. It's just that she's going to be everything she can, just to get under his skin. I mean, that is literally the -- the plan. Is to get under his skin. Make him angry, so he says something.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: And, you know, I just hope that he -- he is as good as he was, on the last debate.

STU: Yes. As far as knowing what the situation is, and knowing what's going on. Right? It is -- a lot of it is about awareness in that moment. And that is probably what Trump is best at, in these debates. You think back to the -- well, you would be in jail. That moment, with Hillary Clinton.

That was him, just picked apart the conversation at the moment. He's very good at that. He's obviously not as skilled at going after policy details. That's not what his game is.

GLENN: I bet it will be tonight. I bet it will be tonight. What is your plan? What is your plan? What is your plan? Let's talk about details. What's your plan?

STU: Right. Asking about them constantly. Like him trying to recite parts of health care laws, is not a good point for Donald Trump.

GLENN: No. It's not going to be good for her either.

STU: No. And she is the reverse of Trump. She's much worse in the moment. She's much worse realizing what's going on. The only thing I think she will try to do I think in this debate is to make Donald Trump, lure him into some sort of, quote, unquote, sexist, quote, unquote, racist moment.

That she can exploit.

You go back to that Mike Pence debate. Where she said, excuse me.

Mr. Vice president.

GLENN: I'm speaking. Oh, shut up.

STU: It's like, we know you're speaking. The problem is the words coming out of your mouth.

It's not that you were speaking.

If you were saying true things, you wouldn't need to be interrupting. But you're lying constantly. That is the moment they'll try to get that into something. And to be clear, the media will try to magnify that into something it's not.

GLENN: ABC is so bad. So bad.

Did you see the numbers on ABC? Let me see if I can find it real quick. So ABC is absolutely the most biased out of all of them. They are so much more worse. Is that right?

They're worse than NBC. And that's saying something!

STU: Really?

GLENN: Yeah. According to -- according to, you know, a watchdog group, they --

STU: The earner center, I think it was.

GLENN: Yeah. I think it was. They tracked CBS, ABC, and NBC. CBS was actually the most fair and balanced out of the three.

I think it had a score in the 70s. And what they scored was, is there any -- is it balanced?

Is there the other side ever being shown?

Is the anchor ever giving the benefit of the doubt?

Are they saying something positive?

Or is it just all negative?

On Kamala Harris, it was 100 percent positive coverage.

100 percent.

STU: Well, it wasn't 110 percent positive.

GLENN: It could have been worse.

STU: Well, actually, it can't be.

That's unbelievable.

GLENN: Here it is. No. Actually, NBC was best. 71 percent, with NBC.

STU: 71 percent positive is the best. The best number?

GLENN: The best number is 100 percent.

STU: No. But I'm saying, like for our -- for fairness. The best one was 71 percent positive.

GLENN: Seventy-one percent.

Then 94 percent for CBS. ABC, 100 percent.

STU: And what's the time period on this? They must say one negative thing?

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Since --

STU: Since?

GLENN: She became the candidate.

STU: Oh, my God. That's over a month.

That's 50 days now?

GLENN: Yeah. 100 percent. Now, Trump's negative coverage, 77 percent on CBS.

86 percent on ABC.

STU: Oh, my God. These are terrible.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

But -- but nobody -- nobody even -- nobody even came close.

STU: I didn't even think about that.

GLENN: 100 percent.

STU: I have to -- you have to think about it. Are they this incompetent?

How have they ever lost an election? With this environment, how do you lose elections?

GLENN: Well, I don't know if it's ever been this bad.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Now, it is -- it's just lies. I mean, they've always gotten stories wrong.

And they're like, well, yeah. That's not the way you frame that story.

You know what I mean?

That's the way it used to be. And then some lies.

Now, it is non-stop.

If I hear that very fine people thing, one more phylum

STU: How many times can they do this?

Oh, my gosh. And they just keep getting away with it.

STU: Did you see the one they tried to J.D. Vance?

GLENN: No.

STU: J.D. Vance. Quote. Shootings are just a part of life. Are you kidding me? That's not what he did. That's not what he said.

GLENN: In context, he made a big deal about how horrible this was.

What I tragedy this shooting was.

And he said, unfortunately, and I don't like this. Shootings have become part of life.

STU: Yeah. A fact of life. And we've got to stop it.

STU: But if you take all the context out. And say fact of life. It looks like you're just this, yes, and wants people to die.

GLENN: Hey, whatever. Those kids are killed. It's a fact of life, you know what I mean?

STU: Let's build all schools near a mountain so they have high ground for all these assassins. It's like, no, that's not what he said.

GLENN: It's really almost that.

STU: It's like, they all know what they're doing.

This is the Donald Trump, we're going to have a bloodbath, dot, dot, dot, in the economy.
But they just say bloodbath. This is stuff. They all know what they're doing here. This is not like mistakes.

Not like, this is taken out of context. They are intentionally trying to sink his campaign. Because they hate him.

And I don't know that they love Kamala Harris honestly. She's just the other thing.

GLENN: Well, that quote really originated with the Associated Press. And I don't know if you saw this.

But the Babylon Bee has -- has put a list together of all the things that the AP has said in the past.

And they still stand by it. You know, for instance, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. According to -- according to the AP. The only thing we have, dot, dot, dot. Is fear itself.

STU: Hmm. Wow! I don't --

GLENN: Neil Armstrong.

That's one small, dot, dot, dot, man.

STU: That was a height speech?

GLENN: Yeah. Wayne Gretzky. You miss 100 percent of the shots you, dot, dot, dot, take.
STU: So you shouldn't even try, is what he's saying.

GLENN: Donald Trump, I can't believe he came out and said it. But it was reported by the AP. I am literally, dot, dot, dot, Hitler.

STU: Oh, my gosh. He said that? So he's not even saying he is endorsing the policies of Hitler, he's saying he's the man.

GLENN: And let me tell you, John F. Kennedy is practically Kamala Harris. John F. Kennedy: Ask not, period.

STU: So you shouldn't bother asking.

GLENN: Don't even ask. Don't even ask. How about this one? Martin Luther King: I have a dream that one day, dot, dot, dot, little boys will be, dot, dot, dot, little girls.

STU: So he was for this gender stuff?

GLENN: He was for it.

STU: A reverend was for all of this gender stuff? Glad they covered that.

GLENN: And, of course, you know, you want to talk about weird. Thomas Jefferson. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that men are dot, dot, dot, endowed, dot, dot, dot, well.

STU: Oh, wow. I thought that was Abraham Lincoln they were talking about with those things.

GLENN: Yeah, Patrick Henry: Give me death.

Franklin Roosevelt again. December, dot, dot, dot, will live in infamy.

STU: Just the whole month?

GLENN: Anti-Christmas. Just anti-Christmas. And, of course, Bill Clinton.

I did, dot, dot, dot, that woman. That one is actually --

STU: That's a good summary.

GLENN: That one is right.

You know what they're doing is, they're changing history in realtime. They really, truly believe, that Hitler was right when he said, you say a lie wrong enough, loud enough, people will begin to believe it's the truth.

I mean, there's no other reason to keep saying, very fine people. Other than --

STU: They know they're lying on that. And they may think that secretly it's what he really believes.

They might really. They may actually apply those things to him. I think they hate him enough maybe to believe that.

GLENN: Yeah. I was going to say. You know why they believe that? Not based on any fact. But just what they think.

You know he believes that. What?

You know, what kind of people do they hang around all the time?

STU: The worst people that have ever been created. Maybe it's because they're surrounded by all the most awful people that have ever existed. Could be that.

GLENN: Yeah. And their experience tells them, that everybody on earth, is a scumbag. Because that's all they're surrounded by. And actually, we know that to be true.

We worked -- we worked in those circles. Yeah. Not a lot of home runs there, on the people front. You know.

STU: Home runs on the people front.
(laughter)
That's an interesting way to describe multiple cities. I think it's pretty accurate.
