Glenn Beck and his team discuss the results of the mid-term election and the impact it had on the country. They also discuss what they are worried about in the next few weeks and what they should be doing to prepare for it.
00:01:25.600Here is the best of today's podcast in 60 seconds.
00:01:30.760The whole idea of being prepared for whatever comes at us, you know, is a good thing.
00:01:39.360You need to actually think of these things and then you'll be prepared and you won't have to worry about it.
00:01:46.040I mean, I should probably spend some time telling you today what I'm worried about on what's coming in the next few weeks.
00:01:54.860I'm not concerned about our immediate safety or anything else, but I am concerned about some things that you should prepare for just in case.
00:02:04.580One of the things that could happen and could happen quickly is there could be a disruption of our supply lines.
00:02:10.000Just 80% of the medication that we get and that you take that's generic all comes from China.
00:02:16.520Can you imagine getting rid of 80% of generic medication?
00:03:11.040My apologies for not starting the program with thank you, Lord.
00:03:18.600Thank you to the almighty for giving us not what we deserve, but giving us mercy, which we do not deserve.
00:03:29.960That we witnessed a miracle last night with everything that was going against us, everything that I mean, this this shouldn't have happened last night.
00:21:42.580And I think the beauty of what happened this election is that people really thought that we probably do need sweeping changes to how we vote in this country.
00:21:51.840The long, you know, it's really it's an election season, as Donald Trump always says.
00:21:56.800And there are safeguards we could put in place, you know, if we get a bill passed through Congress and and 47th president Donald J.
00:22:05.600Trump signed it into into law that I think could make things more secure going forward.
00:22:10.860But we had to get through this when we had to play the hand that we were dealt.
00:22:13.840And again, just really, really proud of our entire team.
00:22:17.580How do you do that federally when it's the states that have to decide?
00:22:22.540I mean, I honestly, I think everybody should install the Florida system.
00:23:21.720I mean, and it made me feel good and confident as a voter that they were doing those things.
00:23:26.040But you see where you have places like California, for example, where they literally don't even want you to take out an ID.
00:23:31.160They say, please don't even bring it in.
00:23:32.540But it's, you know, it's like poison to them, these IDs.
00:23:35.600There's got to be some way that we all can come together and say these are a few safeguards that would be great to have in place in every state.
00:23:44.560And maybe it's only applicable to these federal elections.
00:24:34.720So, Laura, help me out on, you know, we have another big election going on.
00:24:43.480And I don't know if the GOP is going to get involved in this, but I hope your father-in-law does.
00:24:48.480We have the possibility of replacing a worthless minority leader with another worthless Senate minority leader or now majority leader.
00:25:05.000And we have got to have somebody who's not playing the GOP game holding that money, for one, and not holding it against people and saying, hey, I'm not going to give you any money for your re-election unless you play ball with me.
00:25:26.900What are you seeing and forecasting for, you know, the Senate leadership?
00:25:32.720Well, I think the American people sent a mandate last night.
00:25:37.800And I think when you look at the folks who were elected, obviously Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, and not just not just wasn't elected, Glenn, you know, winning the popular vote, really winning in a historic way, in a true landslide fashion.
00:25:54.020And then you look at some of the candidates for Senate and then some of these down ballot races.
00:25:59.400You know, the American people want fighters.
00:26:01.360They want Donald Trump-type fighters, you know, working for them in the United States Senate, in the House of Representatives.
00:26:08.660And I think that should be reflected in a majority leader.
00:26:12.120So I can tell you, you know, Donald Trump doesn't mind putting his thumb on the scale whenever he thinks it's going to be important.
00:26:19.080I would imagine he probably has some thoughts about this.
00:26:45.900You know, I when somebody threatens, you know, my life, my family or the things that I believe in, I always take them literally and seriously because you're an idiot if you don't.
00:27:00.740And Raskin and others are saying, you know, they're not going to they're not going to certify the vote on January 6th.
00:27:09.740What are what is the GOP doing to try to navigate through some of these waters?
00:27:15.800And then it's the irony of it all, Glenn.
00:27:19.280The they're telling us this now when it was such an overwhelming, obvious win for Donald Trump.
00:27:26.840And by all accounts, look, whatever we can legally do from our end at the RNC, we will absolutely do.
00:27:33.380Anyone who is suggesting that they are not going to certify this election, you are again, you're going against the will of the people that talk about a threat to democracy as they constantly claim on the left that Donald Trump has been the you know, it's it's outrageous.
00:27:48.320I hope that those are just scare tactics.
00:27:51.360I hope that that's just a lot of talk.
00:28:27.600I believe Donald Trump will ultimately go down in history as America's great unifier, despite all the hate that gets thrown his way, despite what they tried to do to this man.
00:28:36.700And he says success will bring us together.
00:28:38.800And I believe that's what's going to happen in the next four years.
00:28:42.240Were you in the room with him when he knew and realized he won?
00:28:50.760You know, we we went over to the convention center just before it was officially officially called.
00:28:57.120It looked like it was trending that way.
00:28:58.760And then we were all sort of backstage there when the official announcement was made that, you know, it had been called, at least by Fox News, that he would be the 47th president.
00:29:09.380And, you know, I think everybody cheered.
00:29:13.780He was very he was actually very humble in that moment.
00:29:17.080And I think about I know this man as a grandfather to my kids, my father in law.
00:29:25.920I've I've seen the hell that he's gone through.
00:29:28.480I've seen his resolve and his courage in the face of unimaginable odds and headwinds.
00:29:36.580And it was it was such an important moment, I think, for him.
00:29:41.280I don't I don't even know if vindication is the right word, but he deserves it more than any person out there.
00:29:48.260He has worked harder and he has done more and had more adverse in coming his way than any other candidate in history ever has and probably, I hope, ever will.
00:30:00.180So obviously it was it was truly incredible to be there in that moment.
00:30:08.120I mean, I don't obviously know him that well, but I've known him enough to see what I think has been a profound change.
00:30:17.440He is, you know, I think since the assassination, the he's just he's become a real iconic and strangely positive visionary and somebody who just there's there's there's no mistaking that he is.
00:30:44.200That he is serving something bigger than himself.
00:30:48.640You know, everybody has said, you know, Donald Trump's just doing it, whatever.
00:30:51.700You don't do what he did and you you don't I don't know what it is.
00:30:58.700Just he has changed, I think, dramatically in a very deep and profound way.
00:31:11.660I think it it really all kind of changed on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:31:18.120And he will be the first person to tell you that he believes God spared his life that day.
00:31:22.480And I don't think you go through a moment like that, really, honestly, realizing how close you were to death without it changing you and a very profoundly.
00:31:34.460And I will continue to believe, as I think a lot of Americans believe, that he was saved so that he could save this country.
00:31:41.060I think he said it in his speech last night.
00:31:42.860But I believe that I believe that he is, to your point, serving a higher purpose and a bigger purpose.
00:31:49.680And I just, you know, I think he's changed.
00:31:53.720And I think that's why I feel so positive about the idea that he really will be this person, this incredible figure who is able to do the things that no one else could do.
00:32:03.540Because I believe that that a higher power has been working behind the scenes on all of this for a very long time.
00:32:08.620And I do believe that the team that is finding their way around him, you know, from RFK to Rogan to everybody else, he has, there's something happening here that's bringing the country back together.
00:32:28.200If we can just find a way into people's hearts who have been convinced that he's, you know, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao combined, it is, I think he's going to be remembered as a grand uniter.
00:33:18.780Oh, I am, I am really good, really good.
00:33:23.600Uh, I thought we witnessed a miracle last night.
00:33:29.500Well, I think that's a good way of putting it.
00:33:31.620In fact, I saw your tweet along those lines.
00:33:34.640I think you said something like, Hey, before we get a little too full of ourselves, let's remember that the good Lord probably stepped in and, and, uh, saved us from ourselves.
00:33:44.680But yeah, yeah, I couldn't agree more.
00:33:48.120Um, I think this is an opportunity that the good Lord has given us to get it right.
00:33:53.280And there can be no rest for the weary, for those of us that have fought to get to this place.
00:33:59.720And I give, I give significant credit to President Trump, uh, for withstanding, as I think I said, and I tweeted out earlier, you know, all of the assaults against him, literal assaults in terms of assassination.
00:34:11.240But the war, the lawfare against him, uh, the impeachment efforts, the Russian hoax, the media, uh, and he navigated, uh, as we well know, a legitimate primary, unlike Kamala Harris.
00:34:22.980And here he stands, uh, with a, uh, mandate.
00:34:35.080So, um, Congressman Raskin is saying, you know, all kinds of stuff.
00:34:43.660Is that an empty threat or are they planning on, you know, trying to not certify on January 6th?
00:34:54.560Well, first of all, this is why it's really important.
00:34:56.820These last few races that are sorting out like what the numbers end up being in the house of representatives, obviously the house is critical.
00:35:05.080With respect to how we handle the process of certifying the election, taking the electors.
00:35:11.440Um, I will say that I think I have a certain degree of credibility to make strong arguments for why we are to certify the electors.
00:35:22.160The states will send us the electors and should, and we should certify them.
00:35:26.340Now, if there's some kind of, uh, chicanery that's going on where they're trying to undermine the will of the electorate, um, you know,
00:43:05.840You've been given a second chance, and it has taken a miracle to do it.
00:43:11.580And if the GOP screws this one up, I mean, you know, whatever.
00:43:16.660But I hope that between Elon Musk and the people that he could rally, Donald Trump and the people
00:43:28.260he can rally, and RFK, the people he can rally, and this kind of, you know, group of people
00:43:37.960that don't agree on everything can help us heal, but also, you know, take down big pharma and get that money out of the system.
00:43:48.560Get, you know, the Fauci's and the CDC and all of this stuff cleaned up, you know, to the point of shutting it down and restarting if you have to.
00:43:57.940But it's absolutely corrupt, and I believe the American people are, was sent the message last night, that's what we want.
