President Biden recently called Trump supporters “garbage”, although his handlers insist that he meant to say the MAGA agenda is “garbage.” But did Biden have an ulterior motive? Was this meant to sabotage Kamala Harris’ campaign as revenge for his ousting? Or did Biden just fumble his response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico? Glenn and Stu discuss. Plus, they review the latest election stats: Will the 2024 election be a landslide or a close race? And will Democrats believe it if Trump wins?

GLENN: All right. So President Biden last night, I mean, I just -- I love the Kamala Harris speech. We will go into that, a little bit later on in the program.
The Kamala Harris speech is all, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.
He's a Nazi.
We should unite and put our divisions behind us.
By the way, he's a Nazi, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.
At the same time she's doing that, President Biden says this. Cut four.
BIDEN: From Puerto Rico where I'm -- in the state of Delaware, there are good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there, is his supporters. His -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.
GLENN: So that is a good, happy message for six days before the election.
STU: I've heard that a bunch of times since he said it. I hadn't paid attention to this next sentence. So he says, the -- every Trump supporter is garbage, but I can't believe their demonization.
He's just, I mean, look, he's -- I don't know. Is it -- that he's just so far down the dementia road, that he doesn't even know what he's saying at this point? But whatever.
GLENN: There's a chance he's trying to sabotage.
STU: There is something. It's not 0 percent chance he's trying to sabotage her campaign. Because this totally destroyed her day. Her big day in the sun. Celebrating the January 6th anniversary. The site of the January 6th speech.
GLENN: I know that's what everybody is talking about. At the grocery store. They're not talking about the prices of groceries and gas and everything -- they're just talking about what happened on the ellipse, on January 6th.
STU: That's the big thing people are discussing. And it's laughable. Whatever she tried to accomplish today. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a blessed event. I love Joe Biden today. I never felt better about the guy.
GLENN: Try cut five, please. Here's Trump.
DONALD: That's what it says. That's what it says.
So you have -- remember Hillary?
She said deplorable?
And then she said irredeemable. But she said deplorable, and that didn't work out.
Garbage, I think is worse. But he didn't know. Please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he knoweth not what he said.
(laughter)
GLENN: Tell me Trump hasn't been around the Bible lately, and people who believe in the Bible.
By the way, CNN said, it is just -- that happened because of his stutter.
Well, was he going to say garbage.
STU: Great garbage!
GLENN: So stupid.
This thing is going to come down to the wire. Now, I hope, that it is a landslide.
And there are some things out there, that make it look like it could be a landslide. At least in some states. But do you have any doubt, Stu. That in the swing states, this is going to come down to the wire?
STU: Yeah.
It might not feel like that afterward.
I think the -- there's a good chance that one of these candidates wins all seven of them.
I was looking at -- I can't remember whose model it was. It might have been Nate Silvers, who said the most likely outcome in his model, when it comes to the swing states, is someone wins all seven them. The number one outcome is Donald Trump winning all seven of the swing states. The number two most likely outcome is Kamala Harris winning all seven swing states.
GLENN: Well, of course. That's like the number three model is Daffy Duck winning all three. I mean --
STU: No. No, no. You don't have to win all seven. You can win four and lose three. The point is, it looks like, the way these things usually run. They're correlated. Right?
GLENN: Yeah.
STU: So you usually don't -- you can't just flip a coin on all the swing states. And say, well, this is what is going to happen. Usually, if one person wins, there's more likely a chance they will win the next state and the next state.
So at the end of the day, that won't feel like a close election. I think people will be like, oh, gosh. Trump won 310 electoral votes, that doesn't mean it's not a close election. But that doesn't mean it isn't a close election.
GLENN: Yeah. It will be a close election state by state.
Yeah, Biden won 306 last time. That felt like the closest election possible, right? He still won 306. It was 306 to 232 in the electoral account.
GLENN: They will be counting for weeks. Weeks. Unless it's an absolute blowout. Weeks.
STU: Be honest. There's a path of Kamala Harris winning this election. We find out pretty much on election night.
Because the first two states that will know, that really matter will be Georgia and North Carolina.
And if Kamala Harris wins those. If she wins those by three or four points. I don't want to say what the outcome of the election is.
Most likely that means that Trump has lost it. It's not impossible for him to win till.
If he loses Georgia and North Carolina. He's probably in really big trouble.
So we -- that's probably the most likely -- everyone is like, I want to know on election night. Do you?
Because the most likely we know on election night, is Kamala Harris does really well in Georgia and North Carolina.
GLENN: I don't know. I'm not sure that's true.
STU: As far as early -- early on that night, I would say yes.
If Kamala Harris wins Georgia and North Carolina, to me, you're at a 95 percent chance she's winning this election.
But if Trump -- if it's close, and then Trump winds up winning, or whatever. He can still go up to the blue wall, and pick out a few states.
GLENN: They will absolutely declare a win on that night. Both candidates will declare a win on that night.
This will be -- I lay it out in tonight's show, and it is fascinating to see what the Democrats have planned.
Because they have planned for all of this stuff. There's a five-step plan, after the vote!
Five steps that they are going to do to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get into office. And it's all laid out. It's amazing!
This is -- according to Mark Alias, this is going to be the most litigated election in all of human history!
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: That sounds like fun, huh? That sounds like real fun. We'll give you that tonight on my Wednesday night special that you don't want to miss.
By the way, everything that is going on now, with -- with Media Matters and the New York Times, they are setting up, the silencing of voices.
Across the spectrum of conservatives!
Our voices will be lost. And they could be lost, you know, during any kind of recount. Or any kind of -- they will start suppressing us hard. They already are!
I mean, our algorithms are so skewed against you finding our voice, it's unbelievable.
However, when this thing takes off. If there's any kind of anybody, saying that the election was tinkered with at all, unless it's the left saying it, if it's us saying that, that this election was stolen.
This election -- we have to look into this. We will be silenced. If the left is saying that, they will be amplified.
And the defense will be silenced.
That's what's happening.
That's what they have in play, right now.
You have to be the person, that can look at the news, and say, no. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Don't believe that.
Believe this. And that's what Propaganda Wars, my new book is all about.
You have a chance of losing us. You have a very good chance of losing contact with us, in the next couple of months, unless you are really going right directly to our source.
But you won't find us in your news feed. I'm convinced of it. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that the algorithms, if there's any question on this. The algorithms will silence us.
And I mean, everybody in the conservative world.
They will suppress our voices.
STU: Do you think there's any chance that there are aren't massive claims of fraud after this election?
GLENN: Landslide is the only way.
STU: Landslide one side or the other?
GLENN: Yeah.
Landslide on the other side, I don't think our side will believe.
STU: And I think the same thing applies with them. Don't you think?
I think they will -- you think they will believe it if Trump blows her out.
GLENN: What have Republicans done to cheat in this? We know --
STU: What factor is that?
You're talking about having evidence of further claims?
What does that have to do with anything?
GLENN: You're right. You're right.
STU: They will say it. If Trump wins a close election, they will say this election is stolen.
GLENN: Yes.
STU: Every election that I've experienced in my adult life, that they've lost, they've said that.
I'm trying to think of, is there an exception to that? Trump 2016, they lost. They said the election was stolen.
2012, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2008, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2004, they said it. 2000, they said it.
GLENN: Yeah. John Kerry. Al Gore.
STU: 1996, they didn't -- they won, so they didn't need it. 1992, they won, they didn't need it. 1988, I was 12. So every single election --
GLENN: Of your lifetime.
STU: -- of my lifetime as an adult, they have said that the election was stolen.
GLENN: And every -- every Republican, in my lifetime, because in '67, '68, I was three.
So every -- every Republican in my lifetime has been called a fascist or a Nazi. Every single time.
STU: Gosh. And how can they have any currency anymore?
GLENN: I know. I know.
STU: It's amazing, they're still doing this same playbook.
GLENN: Still doing it. Still doing it.
Things are changing though.
Things are dramatically changing.
