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.

EVERY LIE About Jan. 6 Revealed

Over the past 4 years, government leaders and the Legacy Media told us that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot was the end of “Democracy”, incited by Donald Trump, and the darkest day in American history. This narrative sent many Americans to prison, including many nonviolent attendees. But now, we know much more about the truth. Glenn goes down the long list of Jan 6 LIES that are quickly unraveling: “It looks like this was all crafted NOT to protect “Democracy”, but to bolster an agenda.” But there is still plenty that needs to be revealed under Donald Trump.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So here we are, four years -- four years ago was the events of January 6th, 2021. The darkest day in all of the republic. Well, what we thought was true is quickly unraveling now.

For many -- many Americans, this day is a dividing line. The narratives have clashed. Emotions have run high. Our trust in institutions, sworn to protect us, has been further eroded in ways that only dramatic action will -- will we ever be able to regain a portion of our trust.

Now, there are newly emerging details. They're not just revelations. They are bombshells that force to us confront an uncomfortable truth about our government.

And that should be the message of January 6th.

And that message, the truth about our government, its accountability, and the lengths that it will go to preserve its version of a story.

Even when it is all a lie.

Beginning on January 6th, in the afternoon, Americans were told of an imminent threat. Two pipe bombs were found near the RNC and the DNC headquarters. These devices, if you remember, we were told, could have caused catastrophic harm.

After all, at the DNC, the vice president had been rushed to the DNC, strangely without explanation.

And also, strangely all records were lost!
The -- secret service accidentally deleted all of those records on why she was moved to the DNC. Now we know the investigation into these bombs was woefully insufficient.

And I'm being kind with that.

I don't think it even happened at all.

Surveillance footage was ignored. Cameras were turned, just hours before the pipe bomb was laid. Cell phone data, in both places. We were told was corrupted.

The only thing that was corrupted, was our own government and FBI. We now know, that the data was not corrupted. According to the cell phone companies. They were never asked to turn over the information to the FBI. They were never asked. Critical leads went unpursued. Today, four years later, questions about the bomber's identity still remain unanswered. The lack of urgency begs the question, why. Why would federal agencies neglect a critical, critical investigation, in something that was going to destroy the republic? Could have killed the vice president? What if the pipe bombs were nothing more than a convenient distraction? Boy, a justification to escalate security measures and cast a broader shadow over what they hoped would unfold that day? It's not conspiratorial to ask those questions. It is our duty, as citizens. Because we now know, our government lied. So we want answers.

We know that 26 FBI informants were on the ground that day. But they must go into the Capitol.

Now, let that sink in.

It's not speculation. It's fact. Twenty-six FBI informants.

What were they doing there? Were they infiltrating the crowd?

Were they guiding its behavior?

Were they acting as provocateurs. Why if the FBI had six informants, why did this happen at all?

The presence raises troubling concerns about how much of January 6th, was actually organic, and how much was orchestrated.

Four years ago today, I was tweeting, this has got to stop!

This isn't who we are. All of these people should go to jail. Well, today, I still say, if you broke the windows, and you were clad in a mask, man, you were causing damage and, you know, hurting people.

Yeah. You should go to jail. But the time you should have served, is, you know, up by now. But there are still people in jail.

Maybe for as long as 20 years! It looks like this was all crafted, not to protect democracy. But to bolster an agenda.

Amid the chaos, everybody pointed their finger to one man, Donald J. Trump. But the new information paints a vastly different picture. Two takes before January 6th, it has now been verified, that Trump authorized the deployment of the National Guard, citing concerns over potential unrest, at the Capitol on January 6th.

But his concerns were ignored, his offer was rebuffed, by Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police. Why?

Who in the chain of command chose to disregard this presidential directive? The presence of the national guard would have prevented much of the mayhem that occurred, maybe even all of it. Yet, that opportunity was squandered, and no one told us about it. In fact, the media told us that Trump wanted the chaos. The truth is, we now know, he sought to prevent it.

This glaring omission from mainstream narrative, exposes just January 6th story has been manipulated to fit a preconceived conclusion.

Then there was the Ashley Babbitt story, a name who has become a rallying cry for those who see January 6th as a miscarriage of justice. She was a decorated Air Force veteran. She was shot and killed on live TV by a Capitol police officer, while attempting to climb through a broken window.

Her death was ruled justified, almost immediately. But now, we learn that the officer involved, violated multiple procedural rules. The officer, wrong shielded from scrutiny, held up as a hero, is now under investigation for misconduct, so severe, that it could lead to criminal charges.

Think about that. A life was taken, the person responsible may not have followed any of the protocols.

What else was cut, because of security? What else was held up as an example of good police work?

And why was Babbitt's death so quickly dismissed by the media and the government officials? In the days of George Floyd, why was this one policeman, his actions not scrutinized?

Did her life not matter? Her story was buried under a mountain of political narratives.

And most importantly, January 6th is all about the perversion of justice. The using of allies and social media. High-tech, global corporations. Including telecom and airlines. In many cases, offering up location data on people, that were simply in Washington, DC, without being asked.

What the FBI did with it, how perverted the court system was in DC alone. The knowing role of our politicians. Local and federal. Our police. The higher ups with the National Guard, as well as at the Pentagon now.

What do these things tell us about our country?

Well, they tell us that our country as we hope it would be is dead. That we have been lied to.

They mean that the events of January 6th are far more complex than the tidy little story that they had by 6:00 p.m. that night.

They mean that the very institutions designed to uphold justice and democracy. May have played a role in undermining them.

And let's not just blame one side.

January 6th wasn't about Trump supporters and Democrats or the media.

It was about a system, that thrives on division and chaos.

A system that uses fear, to control us. If federal agencies can lie, manipulate, and withhold the truth about January 6th. What are they not capable of doing?

What are they willing to do? To maintain their grip on power.

We the American people, four years later, on January 6th, must demand the truth. We don't just deserve it. We demand it.

Not the sanitized version. Not the politically convenient version. Not the story that makes the Democrats look bad alone.

But tells us the truth. The entire truth. That means, demanding accountability from the FBI. The Capitol Police.

Every government official on either side, who had a hand in what happened that day, or covering it up.

It means, refusing to let the deaths, the lies, the unanswered questions, fade into a history, of political footnotes.

It seems that January 6th now four years later, we can say was not the end of democracy. But it may have been the beginning of the end for our blind trust in all of our institutions, that we now know have failed us time and time again.

The truth will set you free. We were preserved, I believe. God is not done with us.

That was a miracle, that Donald Trump was elected.

That was a miracle that he lived to see the election.

God did what we could not do.

Now, he is demanding that we do our part. And that is to ensure lies and corruption are not buried.

But that we demand equal justice. I don't care who you are, where you work, what label you have, what party you belong to.

This must end!

Why the Spending Bill Fight is PROOF that DOGE is Working

Is the Republican Party’s “unity” collapsing? The legacy media insists that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Rep. Chip Roy are tearing each other apart over the continuing resolution spending bill. But Glenn and fellow BlazeTV host ‪@lizwheeler‬ argue that this isn’t the truth: “How lucky are we that 2 months ago, we were debating ‘good vs evil.’ And now, we’re debating ‘good vs better.’ It also shows you that the DOGE process is working.” Glenn and Liz break down what’s happening with the spending bill debate and why Republicans are disagreeing over the debt ceiling.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I want to talk about the collapse of the unity. Can you give this story, to me, Liz, without -- with just the details of everybody's arguing and hating on each other.

LIZ: Yes. It is, of course.

If you listen to the mainstream media. It's a circling firing squad. Between Chip Roy. Donald Trump, and Elon Musk.

I don't view it that way at all.

I actually like to see this kind of contention within the Republican ranks. Because how lucky are we, that two months ago, we were debating good versus evil.

And now we're debating good versus better. This is a wonderful thing.

It also shows you, that the DOGE process is -- is working.

Elon Musk said, listen. Go ahead.

STU: Okay. So before we get there, explain.

Because I was on a plane yesterday. So I must see the bill, that was presented.

And I get off the plane, and everybody is hating on each other. Like, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What just happened. Mike Johnson proposed his bill on Wednesday. And that went to hell in a handbasket.

Thank God we got rid of that!

That would have been a nightmare. Then they proposed a second bill.

And it increased the debt ceiling. Which has to be done by June or July of this year.

Increased it by $5 trillion. And all of the conservatives. And, quite frankly, conservatives like me.

And I think you, that have been for stop raising the at the time ceiling. Let's get out of debt.

We started having this debate about the debt. The debt ceiling has got to be -- has got to go up, unfortunately, in -- at this time.

Well, let me finish the -- what actually happened first, before we get into that.

So people like Chip Roy stood up and Donald Trump had endorsed this. They say it was a clear CR. But if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there some other stuff in there? Like protection for the January 6ers?

Was that left in, or was that taken out?

Do you know, Jill? Liz. Sorry.

LIZ: It was mostly clean. The objectionable parts you raised your voice against last couple of days, the reauthorization of the global engagement center, the vaccine passports. That kind of garbage was taken out.

It did increase the debt ceiling. Technically, I think it was the extension of the already increases -- automatic increases.

And I understand in principle. Most of us don't want to increase the debt ceiling.

However, however, it became an argument last night, about that specifically.

Which distracts from what I think is the bigger pictures.

The bigger picture being for a long time in Washington, DC, and Congress. The people who have said they were fiscally conservative. Haven't been effective in making that happen or making cuts.

What Donald Trump did, is he hired what he considered to be the most brilliant man in our country to say, retool this process and do it better.

Elon Musk came in. With DOGE. And said, what we're going to do is be transparent with you.

We will tell you exactly what your tax money is being spent on.

Then we will leave it to you, to lobby your congressional members to cut that.

And, Glenn, that's exactly what happened this time.

We looked at that 1500-page bill that Speaker Johnson had put forward.

We identified five or six things in that bill. Said no. And effectively, we were victorious.
We got that bill killed. Which is, I think very exciting.

GLENN: Right.

LIZ: And then we had this clean version. And then that's when --

GLENN: Yeah. That's -- because -- because there are -- and I am one of them.

They have been so tired of, oh. We're going to raise the debt.

But then we're going to cut. I don't believe anybody in Washington.

However, I do believe Donald Trump. I do believe Elon Musk. I do believe Vivek Ramaswamy.

I do believe just for survival reasons alone, Donald Trump has got to take a hatchet to the size of this government.

Okay?

So let's just look at it from I will be killed. Or I will be thwarted, by this giant government.

And I've got to reduce the size, so it doesn't have octopus arms everywhere, trying to choke me out.

So I believe that he wants to cut the size of government, and I believe he has a plan to do it.

I believe that Elon Musk is a guy. I mean, Donald Trump got famous for saying, you're fired.

Elon Musk is famous for actually firing people.

And cutting all of the nonessential.

So those two together. Have reasons.

One is, hey. This just needs to run like a sound operation.

And the other one is that, plus, oh, and it's trying to kill me.

So I believe they're incentivized unlike anyone else in my lifetime, to cut the size of the government.

Donald Trump, to me, and I love Chip Roy.

I love him. I hope he replaces John Cornyn. I love him.

However, at this point, I believe Donald Trump should be given the benefit of the doubt, for this reason.

He's got to do. If he wants to fix America, and make it truly great. He can't do what the Democrats have done.

And that is just, start spending money like arise. And pushing money out the door. He's got to return the money to you.

So he has to have these tax cuts. And he has to have them right now.

When he walks through the door, he has to have them.

So you're going to have this period, where you're flipping the entire company of the United States the government, upside down.

You're in a transition period. And so we're going to need to spend more, as we cut more.

But you can't -- you cannot shut off the debt. We're a trillion dollars. Every 100 -- I'm sorry. Not a trillion.

Yeah. A trillion dollars, every 100 days.

A trillion, every 100 days!

We're a trillion dollars a year, just in interest now.

You can't -- 5 trillion is not a lot, when you're playing with these numbers.

It's obscene to even say that!

We have to cut trillions out.

But Donald Trump to be able to pull this off, he has got to make people's lives better, quickly.

And the two ways to do it, is to first return money to the people, ask. Then to make it actually last, cut all of the regulation. And all of the size of the government.

That one, we don't want to be fighting two battles. We want to fight one battle.

And in my opinion, Donald Trump has shown me, he's willing to take a bullet for the Constitution and the United States and for us.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, coupled with Elon Musk, because I believe their intentions are aligned with my intentions and desires.

Does that make sense?

LIZ: Yeah. I think that's right. Like I said, it's a funny situation. Because they're both right. Chip Roy is correct in principle that we should cut spending. And Donald Trump and Elon Musk are correct in practice.

GLENN: It's timing. It's just time.

LIZ: It is timing. They actually are both going to achieve -- or they hope to achieve the same thing.

I concur with your analysis. I have hope that Donald Trump is -- I mean, he's a changed man.
We've all seen this, since he took a bullet to the ear.

He's viewing his own world differently. He's viewing his duty to us, differently.

He's viewing his stewardship of our country, differently. He is doing something groundbreaking.

He is upending, disrupting the process this Congress, that has been business as usual.

And it can be messy. And maybe not everyone in Congress, even if they're principally correct, has quite grasped. Oh, this is the new way, we will do things.

I think Donald Trump has this right.

STU: Yeah. I do too. And I think the Republicans -- the fiscally responsible Republicans.

And it could turn out, you're right and I'm wrong.

But I really, truly believe disruption is where we're going.

And this -- this did disrupt.

And if we don't all stand together, they will disrupt us.

And I am not one to believe that the spending is going to magically go down.

I don't believe that. But if you were a family, and you were a business, and you were running debt, and you just didn't want -- you didn't know what to do. How do I stop the hemorrhaging?

Who in the world would be the best adviser that you could get?

Who in the world could you say, I need somebody to look at all these finances. Figure out what's what.

And how to cut. And how to make my business stronger.

I can't imagine anyone better than Elon Musk. So let's listen to Elon and Donald Trump. And, by the way, if anybody thinks Elon is taking over. Did you read how the tweets are coming out?

He went to Donald Trump. Trump and the vice president were working together, on a statement.

And Elon came in and said, hey. I want to release this.

Is it okay if I release this?

And Donald Trump read it, and said, yeah. Go for it.

That's where we are. Go for it.

So Elon is not leading the president.

Believe me, the president has a plan.

Let's give him all the opportunities we can, to let him execute it.

Because we've all come up with other plans. And none of them have worked.

This one has as many of the best minds in the world on it.

Let's let them do their job.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

The Gen Z ‘King’ Keeping Georgia Boys Off the Streets | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 239

“I hated white people,” says King Randall, founder of the X for Boys in Albany, Georgia. Now, Randall has totally changed his mind and is rejecting victimhood and the mainstream narratives surrounding race in America. After the 2016 election, it seemed to him like the “world was about to end,” but this election season, Randall made waves after Elon Musk shared Randall’s viral video detailing the hate he received from Democrats after posting a video claiming he is voting for Trump. “You may not be worried about politics,” Randall says. “But politics is worried about you.” That is why Randall is on a mission, not to “fix the world” but to “fix Albany, Georgia” — his hometown. Inspired by the book of Genesis, King sees himself as a partner with God in the good work of “making men” out of the boys in his community. He reveals to Glenn what he thinks is “actual white supremacy” and how the Twitter Files exposed how technocrats “effectively control everyone’s minds.” With injustices like slavery and Jim Crow, Randall knows his “ancestors went through hell,” but now it’s his generation's turn to step up, because the civil rights leaders “didn’t train replacements.” The pair discuss faith and the apostle Paul “going gangsta,” before Glenn shares his thoughts that Gen Z just may be the “hero generation.”
