Hello, America. Welcome to the podcast. It is Election Day, and we start out on our podcast strong.
00:00:08.940
What is this election all about? Then we just talk about the polls, the poll numbers.
00:00:14.740
We check in with Elijah Schaefer, who is up in Washington, D.C., where they're expecting trouble.
00:00:20.360
He showed us, if you were watching on Blaze TV, he showed us the actual fence around the White House,
00:00:27.600
and it is amazing. I've never seen anything like it in America.
00:00:33.360
It's like a detention center, kind of prison gate, all around the White House.
00:00:39.020
They're expecting trouble. We have you covered on our coverage tonight on Blaze TV.
00:00:43.940

00:00:46.860
Karl Marx and George Washington will be fighting over which one gets into the coffin.
00:00:51.500
I have one that I'm rooting for to get in the coffin, but we'll see how the voters go.
00:00:55.740
And we'll have coverage from everybody. Dave Rubin, Megan Kelly, Dinesh D'Souza, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles,
00:01:05.000

00:01:39.940
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:01.380
It ends when you're 18 with 20 million deaths, 21 million wounded.
00:02:14.620
You're 18 years old and a third of the world's population are infected with the Spanish flu and 50 million people die.
00:02:28.860
And through the grace of God, you come out alive and free.
00:02:36.340
You have good, you know, maybe a good nine years, maybe.
00:02:43.260
And the beginning of the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange.
00:03:00.420
And for 10 years, your world is thrust into a deep depression.
00:03:19.420
Six years later, you're 45 and the Holocaust, you just find out, has killed 6 million Jews.
00:03:27.140
And 60 million people have died around the world.
00:03:58.080
A man or woman who was born in the year 1985 thinks his grandparents have no idea how difficult their life is right now.
00:04:08.880
I don't think we have any concept how difficult their life was.
00:04:11.640
A 25-year-old born in 1995 thinks it's the end of the world when his Amazon package takes more than three days to arrive.
00:04:20.240
Or when he doesn't get more than 15 likes for a photo posted on Facebook or Instagram.
00:04:25.320
Some of us stop talking to friends or family just because they're not going to vote the way we think they should.
00:04:34.920
Now, this isn't to say that our time isn't fraught with trials and tribulations.
00:04:47.360
Those who have yearned to be free, those who look to America to set the standard, we oftentimes dismiss.
00:04:57.960
But those who are imprisoned, those who are enslaved, those who really, truly understand the rights of man, they're on edge today.
00:05:19.660
Americans never really lost their goodness or their innocence.
00:05:37.460
If you think that this is just too much, come what may, this is too much.
00:05:47.620
How strange or almost inconceivable that all of this is coming down to us, our generation.
00:06:09.020
It was easier because you got, you know, they had guys dressed up, you know, in black uniforms with red armbands.
00:06:16.100
Well, those same people were marching in the streets here in America.
00:06:20.920
Those same people, it was accepted in New York and New Jersey.
00:06:36.620
See, the line was blurred for them back then as well.
00:06:45.380
You know, they say the founders, you know, they didn't see this coming.
00:06:50.920
Yeah, well, you know another thing they didn't see?
00:06:53.400
That their glorious, sacred Declaration of Independence and Constitution would come down between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
00:07:10.940
Today is the day that this generation of Americans vote and not for president or Senate.
00:07:18.980
Not against one side or the other, but for something.
00:07:26.500
How many Biden supporters or voters are voting against Donald Trump and they are failing to see what's behind their side?
00:07:37.220
Because they their side is I can't take him anymore.
00:07:42.200
We're not voting for president or Senate today, and we're not voting against anything.
00:07:50.740
We are voting for something, whether or not the American experiment should continue.
00:07:57.620
Or a new form of economics and rule should be found.
00:08:04.500
Our vote is one of two things, a vote as a declaration of independence or a surrender, a declaration of dependence.
00:08:22.960
He needs overlords and Ivy League intellectuals.
00:08:29.480
A declaration that the free market enslaves, not frees people.
00:08:39.520
They're all lies that have literally killed and must be erased.
00:08:45.880
That the traditional nuclear family just promotes hatred, misogyny, has to be destroyed.
00:08:52.420
And our children, they don't belong to the parents.
00:08:55.160
While half of America is too lacking in basic critical thinking skills, and that's the only reason why anyone could support Donald Trump, the intellectuals will say.
00:09:09.580
Our children, our children possess the thinking skills to decide to take hormones and forever alter their sex and their lives at eight years old.
00:09:31.400
If you want to argue that no men cannot have periods.
00:09:42.920
The other side makes the case that women are unique and powerful, but men can be women, too.
00:09:50.760
The choice we make today is one to question with boldness, even the very existence of God.
00:10:02.980
For if there be a God, he must surely rather honest questioning over blindfolded fear.
00:10:08.740
To debate it out in the strongest of terms in the public square.
00:10:33.820
To believe without debate, because the debate is over.
00:10:44.960
To believe the main thesis that the entire American story can only be told through the lens of racism, bigotry, and hatred.
00:11:15.060
I'm telling you, you were preserved and born in this country at this time.
00:11:24.440
Because we've already fought this battle before.
00:11:26.580
And if you just will not fold in to the new wisdom of the world.
00:11:44.940
How unlikely is it that the man, the person that is standing between the Constitution of the United States and Marxism, is Donald Trump?
00:11:59.020
How unlikely is it that the man standing between liberty and tyranny, is Donald Trump?
00:12:07.200
How unlikely is it that the man standing strong for the values that we built in America, the values, is Donald Trump?
00:12:21.440
That's the way many people will want to look at this.
00:12:35.080
He happens to be at the point of the spear, but he's one man standing.
00:12:44.020
Don't think that he's healthy for the way he tweets and everything else.
00:12:50.400
But together with our differences, we're coming together and standing.
00:13:10.920
You're not required to do anything about the president other than vote for one.
00:13:18.780
That you think will preserve and protect the United States of America, our traditions.
00:13:28.740
All the good things, not shoving the bad things away.
00:13:32.880
There's nothing wrong with talking about the truth of American history that is bloody and gory and awful.
00:13:40.100
I'll talk about that, but I also want to discuss all the great things that this country did.
00:13:44.900
But your choice today is between that, not a rosy picture of America that is always right.
00:13:53.640
I think everybody can admit, man, we have really screwed things up from time to time.
00:13:59.580
But if you make the choice to go left, you must forget all of the things this country has done right.
00:14:21.540
You must condemn our founders and our Declaration of Independence.
00:14:32.220
Many of us are united in our love for country and the principles on which it was founded.
00:14:40.420
Look how many people came together at Trump rallies to support freedom and the American ideals.
00:14:44.780
They say 40 to 50 percent of that audience in some places in Pennsylvania were Democrats.
00:14:53.120
This is not a cult of personality that attracts millions of our fellow citizens,
00:14:57.740
even though that's what the media and the left would like you to believe.
00:15:11.840
It's a pledge of our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
00:15:18.500
What comes today, tomorrow, and the days ahead scares the hell out of me.
00:15:23.900
I don't know which way this election is going to go.
00:15:42.360
But we'll use that time to reconnect with our families and remind ourselves what we value most.
00:15:49.400
And we'll look deep into our hearts and the hearts of our fellow men and search for justice and mercy.
00:16:00.600
We will stand up with the strength of kindness.
00:16:10.220
But we will study and teach the truth and keep it alive.
00:16:15.100
Even if we have to do it in our basements quietly.
00:16:20.480
They can pretend the climate is going to destroy the earth.
00:16:23.260
But we still see the spacious skies and the amber waves of grain.
00:16:28.100
They can pretend that Marxism leads to equality.
00:16:31.400
But we will never deny what we know to be true after failed experiment after failed experiment.
00:16:42.180
If America votes to try a new way today, that's fine.
00:16:56.360
They can't stop America because you can't put a lid on hopes and dreams and people.
00:17:01.920
You can't put a lid on innovation and entrepreneurship, on the God-given right of free agency.
00:17:08.380
You can't stop America because we won't let you.
00:17:14.940
They can't put us in the basement like they do with Joe.
00:17:39.800
If you didn't already know this, it is time to realize that AARP is not your friend.
00:17:45.080
More importantly, and a lot of people don't know this either, it's not the only choice you have.
00:17:52.140
AMAC stands for the Association of Mature American Citizens.
00:17:56.760
Better yet, it stands for your values, your principles.
00:18:01.460
It's not only a better choice than AARP, it's the best choice.
00:18:05.040
When you get AMAC, you're going to get discounts on your car insurance, hotels, roadside assistance,
00:18:09.160
dental plans, even cell phone service options that you might not otherwise have.
00:18:12.620
And they have so many other benefits that you should check into.
00:18:15.260
But the real secret here is you belong to an organization that fights for your values
00:18:21.800
Things like freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.
00:18:24.360
Stand with AMAC as they stand and fight the good fight for all of us.
00:18:29.460
The benefits are great, but the cause is greater.
00:18:37.080
AMAC is better, better for you, better for America.
00:18:45.260
Jason Buttrell, who has been doing our look into the left, the hard left,
00:18:57.360
and the things that they have planned for us today.
00:19:03.780
So I read your briefing this morning, and it was very, very thorough.
00:19:08.320
I had it all ready, but my computers have gone down.
00:19:11.220
So give me, in a nutshell, which cities are really targeted today?
00:19:20.500
Most of the cities that are most heavily targeted are on the coast.
00:19:23.640
Los Angeles, California areas, they're heavily, heavily targeted.
00:19:32.680
I'm envious, actually, because he's about to witness something tonight, I think, which is going to be historic from all of these different groups.
00:19:40.680
But I want to – well, actually, one of the groups, Protect the Results, they're – and I really encourage everyone listening right now to go to protecttheresults.com,
00:19:49.380
because they have an interactive map that you can look up at all of their protests that they have scheduled all over the country.
00:19:59.920
You can see if your city, the city of Dallas that we're in, it is one of those that is targeted, and we might see some activity.
00:20:08.280
You've pointed out that one of the linchpins for these protests to kick off is – and this is why we were trying to tell the Trump administration to look at this – is if they say certain things.
00:20:19.520
One of the things is if Trump declares victory on election night, which he's probably going to do.
00:20:25.580
I think he's said as much that he's going to do.
00:20:27.540
But if he is got – looks like he's going to win if he declares victory, then that's the key for them to kick off these protests.
00:20:34.680
But you can go to protecttheresults.com, and you can look up all those different locations.
00:20:40.600
And this is so people know who these groups are.
00:20:50.240
It's exactly what – the people funding this is exactly who you would expect.
00:20:55.460
Protect the Results has a partner list that is absolutely insane.
00:20:59.140
It's well over 80 different partners, and you can go on their website and look at them.
00:21:03.980
It's basically every leftist group in the country and union to include SEIU and a ton of others.
00:21:10.000
Democratic Socialists of America is also one of their big partners, so that kind of tells you they're all in cahoots.
00:21:16.040
Establishment Democrats, socialists, they're all in this together.
00:21:21.340
One's called Stand Up America, and another one's called Indivisible.
00:21:24.940
And we've talked about and you've talked about Indivisible a lot.
00:21:27.760
They have ties to – who else would you expect?
00:21:32.960
You also pointed out in the Biden's first 100 days in Harry Reid's war room, they were brought in as an outside group to be a part of Harry Reid's war room.
00:21:41.080
So they're planning these protests, but they're also part of what's going to happen afterwards.
00:21:47.900
Things like ending the electoral college, packing the courts.
00:21:52.360
They've been doing it since 2016 after the last election, all the way up culminating until tonight.
00:21:58.280
Indivisible has also teamed up with Obama's group Organizing for Action.
00:22:03.320
Which used to be Organizing for America, and I warned in 2000, I think, 8 or 9, the president is going to keep all of that information,
00:22:13.240
and he is going to turn it around and eat the Democrats with it, and that's exactly what they're doing.
00:22:19.560
They were supposed to go away, but when Trump was elected, they changed their name and went right on trucking.
00:22:26.480
Another large group organizing the protest is called The Frontline.
00:22:32.140
The other group I just told you about, Protect the Results, they're planning protests for Election Day.
00:22:41.580
So tomorrow going forward, they've already mobilized a virtual town hall that they're inviting all these other groups.
00:22:50.160
They're getting together to say, okay, what do we do after the election?
00:22:53.660
So if Trump wins, what do they do to continue the resistance?
00:23:04.880
So tomorrow night, and again, you can go to thefrontline.org.
00:23:13.340
This is stuff in their own words that they're planning on doing.
00:23:18.140
The groups that are a part of that, Working Families Party.
00:23:23.380
If you're familiar with Justice Democrats, the squad, they work very heavily with Justice Democrats.
00:23:30.100
Another group, United We Dream, is part of that.
00:23:32.860
There are George Soros, another group, Movement for Black Lives, Electoral Justice Project.
00:23:45.380
This is very, very well coordinated, which, of course, is one of the steps in the color revolution.
00:23:50.860
You have to have these things, and you have to have cries of voter fraud, and that the person that is currently in power is an authoritarian.
00:24:01.320
They have seeded the ground, and we will see if what they sowed is actually able to sprout any fruit or any plants or any flowers, as they would say, in America.
00:24:22.940
This is a Zoom call that happened over the weekend with one of these groups.
00:24:29.500
In fact, all of these groups on a conference call, on a Zoom call.
00:24:32.520
I just want you to listen to the kinds of things that they're saying, and they all sound like normal, rational.
00:24:41.460
So we began to put together a list of things we want to know about in the city.
00:24:49.340
Because it's good to know where the police are.
00:24:59.240
So we're talking about what would it take to surround the White House and have people do stuff.
00:25:03.560
We can divide it up easily with affinity groups.
00:25:05.720
We have to be willing to put our bodies on the line and take on some discomfort, sacrifice, risk in order to change things.
00:25:14.520
And I've been in conversations where people have never thought about having a gun or like, should I have a gun?
00:25:19.140
But I think we have to know, and I'm going to talk a little bit in a few minutes about, what do we do when guns are in the mix?
00:25:25.040
So again, chaos is a suit by which change emerges.
00:25:32.960
Many of us are here because we want to fight it.
00:25:38.460
Because again, we're not dealing with people with just simple guns.
00:25:41.520
We're dealing with people with AR, AK-47s, multiple rounds, a lot of shootings.
00:25:46.820
So yeah, we are going to be in a crisis, but we want it to be one that we are creating.
00:25:53.900
We want to make sure that we are on the offense and not the defense.
00:25:57.640
We want them to be responding to us and thus not responding to them.
00:26:01.140
In a situation of a coup or an insurrection or an uprising, whoever's got the guns often can win.
00:26:17.080
In order to achieve what they did, they knew they had to take over important government buildings.
00:26:22.100
They knew they had to try and win over members of the police and army, and they had to protect each other.
00:26:28.460
I think we don't have a lot of experience taking over government buildings, and we might need to think about that.
00:26:33.680
And I know, as I said earlier, how we may find ourselves in the streets with people with different tactics than ours.
00:26:41.460
But, like, there may be some people that are willing to break the windows to get into the government buildings.
00:26:48.200
Like, if that's what we need to do, then we shouldn't fight about that.
00:26:53.880
If you're watching this, you saw the Arabic writing on the screen as they showed it in.
00:27:00.480
This is because these people have been trained in Syria, and they're not afraid to say it out loud.
00:27:08.180
I mean, at what point do you become an enemy combatant?
00:27:29.380
Do I want a government that is in bed with these kinds of people?
00:27:58.580
She's going to be humble and say that she doesn't remember.
00:28:01.220
Well, I want to make sure that at least the audience recalls your starring role.
00:28:05.960
If you're listening on audio, all you're going to hear is random clips of people talking.
00:28:09.980
But that's because Glenn's visual presence was so powerful.
00:28:14.460
Did you actually spend the time looking up this old episode?
00:28:21.500
But this is, you can hear, see a very young, very young, and very thin Glenn Beck in the
00:28:42.000
This is every second he's on screen in the entire episode, by the way.
00:29:01.840
What was important was the way I was drinking at the bar.
00:29:09.820
Host of the Kirstie Alley, Kirstie Alley on the Verge podcast.
00:29:14.540
That you can grab wherever you get your podcasts.
00:29:36.720
Well, I did become an alcoholic shortly after that.
00:29:47.220
Now I've been beaten up by the people that hate you.
00:29:52.400
Every show I do talking about Trump, I get the people that hate the person show that I'm doing.
00:30:00.980
I'm collecting people that hate me along the way.
00:30:03.800
Well, you know what I found is you apparently cannot collect enough.
00:30:25.100
I don't know, maybe like 96 million other people, but just not with a certain trip.
00:30:34.780
I've been, actually, I've been a resident of Florida for three and a half years.
00:30:39.740
I've lived in California, but I'm a resident of Florida.
00:30:49.880
More people should consider that, except only if they learn why they moved from California.
00:31:01.360
I've got to say, I'm not a fan of the weather, but I keep a place also in my home state where
00:31:09.280
So, yeah, and then I get the four seasons, which I'm fond of.
00:31:15.380
Well, that's where everybody dreams of having a second house.
00:31:20.220
I mean, that's why the property here is like, I mean, you know, a two bedroom apartment
00:31:26.020
So, Kirstie, I have heard that you voted for Obama.
00:31:32.860
And then, if that wasn't, you know, enough time, I voted for him twice.
00:31:40.400
I was going to say everybody makes a mistake, but usually not the same mistake twice, but that's
00:32:10.180
I thought, and one of the reasons I've got to admit is I thought it was going to, it
00:32:14.280
was going to help create help for a lot of people who might need help in their communities.
00:32:28.640
It's like it divided in a way, I would say, unless you want to be really quiet and just
00:32:38.640
I am one of those people that's for the greatest good for the greatest number.
00:32:42.340
So, the way I evaluate things is, especially, you know, I do, I'm sorry, but I evaluate
00:32:48.300
things on jobs, the economy, freedom of religion, freedom of, you know, civil and human rights.
00:32:59.380
And so, then I make a decision of who I think is going to do the best job.
00:33:02.160
And I thought Trump was going to do the best job, and he has done the best job.
00:33:06.740
You can get in touch with me in four years from now and see how that went.
00:33:09.500
You don't, you're not on a friendship train, though, are you?
00:33:13.960
I mean, there's just, you're not looking to pick up new friends with this commentary
00:33:18.420
and with this vote, because that makes you extremely, I mean, you are a rare individual,
00:33:24.860
especially in your business, that has the willingness to go against the grain and say it,
00:33:32.080
I mean, the liberals that I know, because I'm a classic liberal, I'm not a, you know, new liberal,
00:33:38.120
but a classic liberal, I've always agreed with people that, hey, leave art alone, leave speech alone,
00:33:45.200
let people, we're all different, let's just come together on the celebration of,
00:33:50.880
yep, you can say those things, and I don't agree with you.
00:34:02.380
Look, as a liberal, and the other thing, I'm just, look, I look at the big strokes in life.
00:34:07.220
I understand that there's small problems, but I think that you have to look at the big strokes
00:34:11.180
on what is the greatest good for the greatest number, and the liberal left right now isn't even liberal to me.
00:34:16.780
It is, especially in the news, it's really not liberal.
00:34:20.880
It feels very socialist, and I'm just not, you know, they're not going to, you know,
00:34:25.840
they're not about to stand up for a 60-year-old Christian Scientology conservative girl.
00:34:32.460
So I knew when I came forward, but the reason I'm bringing that up, too, is I've been attacked my whole career for certain things,
00:34:40.540
and I'm sort of used to being attacked, and I feel like, wow, I don't really go out of my way to reach out
00:34:47.100
and say mean things to people or to offend them or to, you know, and I have a track record on the environmental issues,
00:34:56.580
a good track record, and I have a lot of good things to offer people, and if they can't see it, I just can't help them.
00:35:03.460
You did go after CNN this last week, and I think rightfully so.
00:35:13.160
You said if you want to understand your friends that are walking around in sheer terror of COVID, you just have to watch CNN.
00:35:21.760
I decided to watch CNN myself to get their viewpoint, and oh, my God, did I ever.
00:35:26.040
If you two want to live in terror, just watch CNN.
00:35:34.480
Do they think, really, I mean, look, this has gone on now for eight months.
00:35:37.800
Do they really believe that only their viewers know what's going on?
00:35:43.220
Do they really believe that their viewers are the only people who know that they could risk their lives
00:35:49.580
or at least risk getting sick or something with COVID out there?
00:35:54.220
It just seems so elitist to be telling everybody how to basically not walk out of their house and die, and then it's flipped on you.
00:36:06.820
Then it becomes flipped, like, oh, you don't care if people die.
00:36:12.940
I've had friends that were sick and died this year that didn't die of COVID, too.
00:36:17.860
I don't need to be reminded of it 24 freaking seven.
00:36:20.500
And also, it wasn't just that they were reminding us 24-7 to keep us in horror.
00:36:25.960
They were reminding us 24-7 so they didn't have to talk or report about Biden and his son and his possible alleged dealings with communist countries where he got payola.
00:36:44.180
But instead of going with that story, they went with the you are going to die.
00:36:49.760
And the only good news and the only advice they had was wear a mask, wash your hands, and social distance.
00:37:02.460
Well, then, I'm sorry, but I would like to cuss right now and just say, like, we don't know what and know that.
00:37:13.360
You brought up a really good point, too, where you were talking about what is Biden proposing that we're not already doing on COVID?
00:37:26.560
So I decided to go, you know, I decided to give it a fair shake.
00:37:31.840
And I was talking to Democrats, mostly the people who were voting for him.
00:37:43.660
And really, what is wear masks, wash your hands, social distance.
00:37:48.480
In the future, a vaccine is going to come along anyway.
00:37:54.960
And I don't it didn't say that he was going to do anything.
00:37:59.520
He's not saying anything about what he's going to do in specificity.
00:38:02.900
I want someone to specifically tell me what they're going to do.
00:38:09.960
The next day, you know, your vice president hates your guts because the little girl was
00:38:18.800
You know, a week ago you were you were like a horrible, horrible racist.
00:38:30.140
It's good to talk to you, Kirstie, especially after all the time that we spent while I was
00:38:38.500
Oh, I remember the things we the things we didn't say to each other.
00:38:43.180
I just want to tell you what really happened after that.
00:38:45.620
There were there were scouts out looking all over the place.
00:38:50.500
Yeah, the way he knows how to hold that glass and drink that is phenomenal.
00:38:57.380
Well, I I rejected all of the many, many offers that I had.
00:39:09.560
Do yourself a favor and stay exactly who you are.
00:39:13.200
I I have such respect for people who can defend their position, whether they agree with me
00:39:21.660
or not, and are not afraid to say it and not afraid to say my changed my mind.
00:39:28.260
I was I was wrong or, you know, wrong 10 minutes ago or 10 years ago.
