Vice President Tucker Carlson? Evidence that it COULD happen

Tucker Carlson has been all over the world recently speaking to powerful leaders. After his interview with Vladimir Putin, he spoke at the 2024 World Government Summit and that got Glenn thinking: Is something else going on here? Tucker has been a popular vice-presidential choice among Trump fans … is he gaining experience before the big announcement? Would Tucker even be interested in the vice presidency? Glenn breaks down his theory, as well as another theory on whether Vice President Kamala Harris will invoke the 25th Amendment against President Biden.

GLENN: Let's get into the news of the day here. Yesterday, Biden was, you know, speaking with King Abdullah of Jordan.

And I don't know if you saw this video, do we have the video actually, of him wandering over the podium.

Okay. Now, he doesn't know where to stand. He's looking at the ground. Looking for tape.

That's what he's looking for. He's looking for a tape mark.

And he goes and stands behind king Abdul. And he says, I'm sorry.

And he realizes, he's on the wrong side. Like it matters. That he's just taking his orders.

It is really -- it's really been an amazing thing. And really, what happened, why this is so important right now, is because of Special Counsel Robert Hur. He did a report last week, just let me bring you up to speed, in case you didn't.

The handling of all the classified documents. That, you know, Biden said, hey, they were secure. No, they weren't. They were sitting in a box next to your Corvette. That's not secure for top secret documents.

Okay. It's just not.

But Hur comes out. And he says, well, you know, he just appeared in the testimony, while we were investigating this.

He just seemed like a -- a nice old well-intentioned man, who doesn't remember much.

Doesn't remember much?

What?

He couldn't tell us when he was right now. And couldn't tell us, when his son died.

Okay. That's a problem. That's a real -- that's a problem.

Now, I think, first of all, Grassley, and everybody else that are, you know, oversight on all of this, Grassley and Ron Johnson, they've asked for that tape. They want to see it themselves.

I wouldn't be surprised, if Joe Biden was kind of all there.

Was not a doddering old fool. Could answer when he was vice president.

I think there's a movement to get Joe Biden out by the Democrats.

Now, I'm not saying that, you know, I think you're going to find he was a doddering old fool. On that tape.

But there is a movement now to get him out.

Because his -- his poll numbers are remarkably low.

He doesn't have a chance, when it comes -- if he's the guy, there won't be any debates.

And can you imagine how bad he'll be in six months from now?

So yesterday, if we have the Kamala Harris, see if we have it.

No, we don't. The -- yesterday, Kamala Harris came out. And she was asked by the Wall Street Journal, so, you know. Biden looks like there's a chance that he's not going to make it.

Are you ready to be vice president?

What she said, is really, really important.

She said, I'm ready to serve.

There's no question about that.

Now, that's a bold statement for any vice president, to make.

I don't know of a time, where a vice president has made that.

If they have, and I can't think of one, but if they have, they have gone on to say, but the competence of this president is not in question.

He is fine. And there's no need for me, to be prepared, other than every vice president needs to be prepared.

Okay? She didn't say that.

She didn't say that. This is a first. She's always answered that question, like I just said, a vice president answers that question.

In defense of her president. She's not saying that this time. The problem is: How are you going to get this guy out?

His family is all for it. Just getting rich off of his back. His family, I think is engaged in elder abuse. This is one of the worst families I've ever seen.

Anyone who would treat their father or grandfather like this.

And let him make a fool out of himself like this.

Is not a good family. They don't care.

But if the family is for him serving. And he is for him serving.

You have to evoke the 25th Amendment. The only one that can really do that. The cabinet has to have support. And it has to start with the vice president.

So the vice president is going to be -- is going to have to be the one to come out and say, we have to evoke the 25th Amendment.

Will she do that?

And then what happens to the election, because she's the only person.

Get this. She's the only person in Washington, that has a lower score, of likability, than Joe Biden.

She's -- you know. She likes school buses. And maybe school buses like her.

But not a lot of the drivers like her.

Now, that's something to watch.

There's something else, and this is absolutely a Glenn Beck theory. I have nothing to base this on.

I just, as a fiction writer, let me put that hat on, and tell you something, that I noticed a pattern of.

And it's because I read the story that is completely disconnected from this story that I just told you.

But I read this story first. And then I read another story, that I'm going to tell you about next.

Back-to-back. And it got me to thinking.

And it's a complete, you know. This is just a fictional theory.

But I want you to hear it, they can say.

Let me give you this story.

Tucker Carlson fired back at former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton on Monday, calling her a child.

After she criticized his interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Carlson, was blamed by Clinton.

And Clinton called him a useful idiot. During an interview, that aired Wednesday evening, on MSNBC.

That's weird. Because today is Wednesday.

Carlson brushed the criticism off. At the appearance of the world government summit.

Okay.

Hillary Clinton called this gentleman, speaking of Carlson, this honorable gentleman, that he is playing the role of a, well, you say it.

Prompting Carlson to say, that he hadn't seen Clinton's interview.

And he -- he was wanting to say, you know, useful to it.

But you say it. He didn't.

Instead, he said, I didn't see the interview.

And Hillary Clinton is a child. I don't listen to her. By the way, how is Libya doing?

Great put-down. Great response.

Now, the thing is, where did he say this?

He said this, at the World Government Summit 2024 in the Middle East.

Why was he at the World Government Summit 2024? He just left Moscow. Where he was meeting with Vladimir Putin just a few weeks before.

Wait a minute. He was speaking with Milei.

And then before that, he was in Hungary, speaking with the head of Hungary.

Wow, he's getting a lot of experience.

He's going to be -- this is my first thought.

He is taking the place of all of those respected journalists, that we had at one time. Where we respected them.

And they would go and do the big heavy interviews. And they talked to all the world leaders.

And then I thought, wow.

He'll know all the world leaders, and have spoken to them, personally.

Which is weird. Because I'm not sure Kamala Harris has done all that. Which then made me think, wait a minute.

Vivek Ramaswamy, and Tucker Carlson are the ones that were on the list, the top two names. Given to Donald Trump. Of who they would like to see as a vice presidential nominee. And when I first read that or heard that from the president, he said. Or I said, huh.

File it away. Immediately, my thought was, Tucker is a TV guy, though.

Not going to do that. Maybe he would be a spokesperson for the president.

Not the vice president.

He doesn't have the experience.

Wait a minute. Yes, he does now.

Stu, complete -- I mean, this is complete fiction. Complete fiction.

STU: I mean, I -- I like it as a hot take.

I mean, I don't know that I believe it.

You know, his --

GLENN: No. I don't believe it. I don't believe it.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: It would be smart for Donald Trump.

STU: It's a fun theory.

If you were setting this up.

This would be the type of thing, you would him to do.

To be on the stage like this.

I don't know that interviewing these world leaders, necessarily, gets you vice presidential experience, per se.

Look, Tucker Carlson has had a lot of experience in this world. Has been around for a lopping time.

He knows these topics.

GLENN: He grew up in Washington. He knows that town. He knows how it works.

STU: And it's certainly a way of raising, his -- not only his profile.

But also a profile of a foreign affairs picture, that's not always been germane to the Republican Party.

But is increasing in influence. And is certainly in line with the president's theory on foreign affairs.

So I -- I mean, you look, I like it as a hot take. I like it as a theory you're throwing out there.

But I don't know that I buy it.

GLENN: I have to tell you, if I were running -- if I wanted the presidency, or somebody that had asked me, hey, you know, think about running.

The thing I would do was exactly what Tucker Carlson is doing right now, and it would give me keys to the kingdom. Either kingdom I choose.

It's very, very, very bright.

Very bright of Tucker Carlson.

This Russian nuke warning is HORRIFIC… for an UNEXPECTED reason

Glenn Beck reviews a video of Aleksandr Dugin, known as “Putin’s brain,” warning that nuclear war is inevitable. But this warning from Russia is absolutely terrifying for another reason: it’s NOT REAL …

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
