The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Heather Cox Richardson on America’s Vibe Shift · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

And, you know, we saw it with Herbert Hoover. matched

We saw it in the late 19th century. matched

There's no reason to think we couldn't see it now. matched

Do you think we're near it? matched

Oh, I've given up trying to guess what the American people are going to do. matched

I will tell you we're a lot nearer than we were before the 2024 election. matched

As you and I both commented, Trump was promising everything to everybody. matched

And I can't tell you how many interviews I did where I was saying, you know, you can't be both wet and dry at the same time. matched

And that's what he's promising people. matched

And they're falling for it. matched

They now realize you can't be both wet and dry at the same time. matched

And a lot of them are really tired of what they got rather than what they voted for. matched

The question will be whether or not they can paper that over until at least the midterms or whether they will simply stop our ability to vote them out of power. matched

And that's clearly the struggle, the race that we're on now between now and November 3rd. matched

So, first of all, I'm a prophet of the past, not of the future, which makes my job really easy because I can always tell you what happened, but obviously not so much what's going to happen. matched

But one of the things I always do in a situation like this is what I call playing the other side of the table. matched

Like, I know I can make guesses about what I think is going on with the rest of the people, but one of the things to watch is what Trump and his loyalists think is happening. matched

And the fact that he is giving a primetime address on Thursday... matched

Now, remember, the reason that he feels the need to do this is that from the minute he got into office, he has been calling for major changes to the American voting system, including the federal takeover of the state voter rolls. matched

And I believe he's lost well over 10 times. matched
