We have a great podcast, mainly because
who nor I had any sleep last night at all.
So it gets a little dicey.
It gets pretty, pretty dicey.
But just remember, take it from me.
After you hear the podcast, V for Victory,
it's an important message in today's show.
We have Laura Trump, we have Chip Roy,
we have Daniel Horowitz going over the entire election.
We also have all the meltdowns that people had.
I mean, people really, I mean, we were blessed last night.
We did not get the judgment we deserve.
We got the mercy we don't deserve.
And we talk about that a little bit.
We need to be grateful for some of the great and amazing things that happened yesterday.
I think we witnessed a miracle.
And so far, our cities are not burning down to the ground.
Amen, brother.
Here is the best of today's podcast.
in 60 seconds.
The whole idea being prepared for whatever comes at us, you know, it's a good thing.
You need to actually think of these things, and then you'll be prepared and you won't have to worry about it.
I mean, I should probably spend some time telling you today what I'm worried about on what's coming in the next few weeks.
I'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.
One of the things that could happen and could happen quickly
is there could be a disruption of our supply lines.
80% of the medication that we get and that you take this generic,
all comes from China.
Can you imagine getting rid of 80% of generic medication,
how critical that would be?
You need to make sure that you have some,
some critical things.
You know, imagine dying because you don't have antibiotics.
That could happen in America.
That's nuts.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
So, last night, and so you'll have to excuse us.
It's a little...
We're a little delirious, and my apologies, and this is sincere, my apologies for not starting the program with,
thank you, Lord, thank you to the Almighty for giving us not what we deserve, but giving us mercy,
which we do not deserve.
that we witnessed a miracle last night
with everything that was going against us,
everything that, I mean, this shouldn't have happened last night.
I mean, I'm glad it did, but, you know,
they have spent half a billion dollars just on abortion,
half a billion dollars on the abortion message.
Um, yes. Um, the, uh, the, the, the direction of our country is, is completely in the wrong direction.
And enough people woke up. Enough people, uh, saw that and stood up. Uh, and, and were willing to be called Nazis and everything else.
and they just didn't care.
And I think that was a miracle.
And God was gracious yesterday.
He is not done with America, apparently.
He's just not done.
So thank you, Lord.
Thank you.
I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Wholeheartedly.
Pat, hi.
Yeah, hi.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Good to be here.
I also just have one other little message, if I may.
And it goes a little something.
Come along.
You've got no class.
That's why Donald Trump just kicked your ass.
Take with you tampon.
Timmy Wals.
The man.
Okay.
All right.
So just that.
Now see.
That's wrong.
That is just really wrong.
If you did it again, then it would really be.
Don't do it again.
Don't know.
I shouldn't do this again.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Oh my.
You've got no blast.
That's why don't drop.
Just kick your ass.
Take with you tampon.
Timmy Wals.
Falls.
Okay.
So you know what the problem is?
Is that sounded a bit gloating?
Oh, we don't want to do that.
We want to be gracious winners.
I could sense it.
We're in.
We're in.
We're in.
Towards the end.
You don't want to glow.
Right.
Because if you did it a third time,
it would be.
Probably misconstrued is clouty!
You've got no class, that's why the drum.
Just kicked your ass.
Take with your tampon.
Jimmy Woltz.
The man who's got no ball.
Wow.
Wow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I was going to say, that is a beautiful voice that you have.
I mean, that is.
Oh, you know what?
If I may.
If I may.
You may.
If I may.
And you may.
I love that Tim Walls gets a mention in that.
Oh, my gosh, yes.
I love that we're never going to have to see him ever again.
Let Minnesota deal with it.
I don't want to.
Good luck, Minnesota.
You know, can I tell you something?
It was almost a perfect night when we thought for a second they may lose Minnesota.
Oh, man.
It was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
They won Minnesota by four points.
Wow.
Four.
Wow.
That's it.
I mean, he almost got Minnesota.
He almost got New Jersey, too.
Are you projecting 312?
That's what we've got to count at.
Eventually, it'll be 312.
I think that's right.
To 226.
Yeah.
I mean, I wouldn't say.
That's a big win.
Yeah.
And he's up by what, five million in the popular vote?
Thank heaven.
That's going to shrink a lot.
That's going to come down.
Do you think he's not going to win the popular vote?
Shut up!
He's going to win it, right?
Gosh, I mean, I think so.
I think so.
Please say it so.
Stu's about to call Georgia.
He's about to call Georgia.
What are you talking about it?
I should have really called the election correctly.
There are so far, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, along with Alaska, which some places
still haven't called insanely.
Well, that's ridiculous.
But assuming he sweeps all four of those states, he gets a 312.
So he, you know, I think there's still a possibility that he could lose one of them, but I do not expect it.
I do not expect it.
Even CNN, though, has him at 276.
So it's over.
Look, it's over.
And we kind of, we, the celebration and the, the anchor and Glenn's 14 seconds of calm, coherent thinking.
All of that came behind us before we really gave a full update on this.
I mean, Georgia, I mean, if you look at the swing states, North Carolina, Donald Trump by three, Georgia, Donald Trump by two, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump by three, Michigan, Donald Trump by two, Wisconsin, Donald Trump by one.
Arizona, 63% of the vote in, Donald Trump by five.
Nevada, 86% of the vote in, Donald Trump by four.
So he would swing, if he hit, he would get all seven of the states there.
Wow.
So, Stu, you would say then that the polls were actually pretty accurate.
Yeah, I think they're pretty good.
Now, everyone's going to remember one poll, which is the Selser poll in Iowa, which missed by about 16 million points.
What an embarrassment.
It was literally 17 and a half points or something.
17 and a half points she missed by.
Yeah, bad.
That's really bad.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
she did what we were saying none of the others did and that is release the outliers.
That we're way, way out.
That is part of polling, if you want to be honest.
Now, that's what Stu has just said.
Pat, how would you respond to this?
What do you think?
To the actual outcome of the election?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I come along.
You've got no class.
That's why Trump just gaked your ass.
Take with your damn boy, Jimmy Wolf's false.
Maybe something like that.
Something like that.
That would be wrong, of course, if you did that.
Of course.
Especially four times, you can't.
You just can't.
And you still can speak, which is crazy.
He's got like iron or, you know, U.S. steel vocal cords.
We haven't done a gloat fest.
I think since maybe John Kerry?
I bet it's, I mean, there's been no reason to.
Yeah.
I think we did them in the T-Party Wave election of 2010, I believe, a Globe Festival.
Yeah.
You've been one in 2014, even, which was a pretty good year for Republicans.
Man, maybe.
But that's probably the last time.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
It's been a while.
And gosh, it doesn't feel good, does it?
Not at all.
I mean, I'm sure the calls haven't come in yet, but I'm expecting the calls to come in and just say, hey, stop gloating.
Stop rubbing it in their face.
And you're right.
You're right.
So do you guys think that the Democrats will take, you know, a smart lesson from this and realize maybe they've overstepped their –
maybe they outran their coverage a little bit or kicked their coverage a little bit when they, you know, decided to say, hey, maybe all, you know, boys can play girls' sports and –
Right.
We should be, let's say, taking money from taxpayers and using it to fund transitions of criminals in prison.
Do you think maybe they'll learn the lesson there or do you think it's going to be?
And what if they thought, hey, I wonder if next time we should nominate someone who's gotten at least one vote from Democrats.
Lessons.
Yeah.
Wow, that's a good one, Pat.
We should write a little book for them so they can learn some lessons.
Like maybe run a candidate that wins votes.
I predict a historic movement of reflection on the media's part today.
Oh, yeah.
And that would be, really.
Yeah.
I mean, it's historic because you get your butt kicked this badly.
You destroy your credibility this much.
And I can guarantee you there won't be any self-reflection at all.
I think so.
I disagree with that, actually.
think that that's true. I think there will be a reflection from the media, and they will decide if they had only called him Hitler one more time, they would have won. If they could have just come up with one.
Did we call him Hitler enough? Yeah. If they just want to sit fascist a few more times, they just left a few on the field.
I told you, I told you we should have gone with Pol Pot. Nobody's afraid of Hitler anymore.
I mean, that is just... And Pennsylvania will be the killing fields.
I think they needed maybe three more handmaids tale references.
If they had just come up with a couple more of those,
if they had just shown up in the red robes and the white hats one more time,
this could have gone another way.
What if they brought up abortion another couple times?
What if they did that?
That would have been a good idea.
Maybe they could have tried something like that.
Maybe.
Maybe they could have got another one of their donors to try to kill the president again.
Maybe that would have been something they could have tried.
Oh, wait, they did try.
it again. It happened twice.
It is unbelievable. It is unbelievable.
And, you know, I think, well, I know we would have been on the air today saying, okay, so what do we do?
What did we do wrong? How are we not connecting? We would have been crying in our soup, you know, assuming we could afford soup.
but we would have been really depressed today.
But there would be self-reflection and there would be like, okay, what did we do wrong?
How is this message not getting heard?
And what are we doing that is making people not come to this message?
They're not going to spend any of that time.
We would have just said, you know, it's because that other side are so hateful and they don't understand.
That's what they're going to do.
They're going to say everybody's a racist and sexist.
break out Russian interference or something. I mean, they're going to make some kind of excuse for this.
Oh, yeah. I mean, they already are gay. You missed this earlier. They already are. I flipped on
Morning Joe. The whole thing. All they're doing is coming up with excuses. It's in real time,
just complaining. And it's every single thing you'd think it would be. Wow. There's no reflection.
I got it. No, no moment of sanity. I got to, I just have to, I just have to play. Cut one, please. Cut one.
MSNBC. Kids watching for the first time election results, they should know that we never had
bond threats before Donald Trump became a presidential candidate.
What are you? Absolutely. The weather underground was blown up stuff all over the place.
Gosh. They didn't threaten. They actually exploded the bombs. Right. So that's the difference.
Wow. And another super, super favorite, this one from CNN cut two.
Donald Trump has been running for two years.
Kamala Harris has been running for 170, 107 days.
So one of my big questions is, particularly with her candidacy,
is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country.
She's the vice president.
Dead set on voting for a Democrat, wasn't so sure about him.
It's unreal.
Or whether she could have used a little bit more time.
Yeah, that's it.
A couple more weeks.
Hang on.
One last thing I want to play, and that is what's coming.
They're on to us, guys.
They're on to us.
They know.
And here they are, ratting us out, what our plans are.
Cut six.
If historians in the future are allowed to write books,
and by the way, that question is open this morning.
And if people are allowed to go on television and say what they think in the future,
which, again, that question is open.
open this morning. No, it's not stupid. In the future, historians are going to look back on this day
and say, this is the day that America made a choice between freedom and democracy on one side
and authoritarianism and dictatorship. Yes. And we voted for freedom.
Democracy and the Republic. So congratulations, America. And Pat, I don't want to hear that song
anymore. Not a single note, no more. Which song? I'm just reflecting on
Oh, that's Gabelah! You've got no class.
That's why don't Trump just kick your eyes.
Get it with your dab on dandy walls.
Stop it right now. No more of that.
All right, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile.
One of the things I love best about Patriot Mobile is they let you know right up front who they are.
If you're with Verizon, you might be unaware that they donate a lot of money to plan parenthood.
When you're with Patriot Mobile, they tell you up front.
We don't do that.
We are a Christian conservative mobile phone company, and we believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
And some of the profit that we make, we dedicate to those causes locally so we can change things at the local level.
All you have to do is go to patriotmobile.com slash back.
This is the lowest form of entry into fighting for your country.
Just stand with people who are standing with you.
Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972 Patriot.
972 Patriot. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Do it now. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.
Now back to the podcast.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really want to thank you for listening.
Laura Trump is joining us now. She is the co-chair for the RNC and Laura.
I mean this sincerely. Last night is the first time I believe in my entire life.
where somebody would call in or somebody would say something, you know, there's a problem in this, you know, this area with a polling place.
And I had total confidence in saying to anybody I talked to that had that call your local RNC right now.
They are on it.
Alert them if they're not on it, but they're probably already in court about it.
thank you, thank you for running this thing the way it should be run every time.
Wow, well, that's so nice, Glenn. Thank you. I appreciate that. And listen, it was, it was really important to me and to our chairman, Michael Watley, when we took things over in March, that this was our number one focus. I think you came out of 2020 with so many people having a lot of concerns, people not trusting our electoral process. And what is that?
itself to. It means so many people wouldn't have turned out to vote if they didn't trust this
process. It really is foundational to who we are as Americans that we trust this. And so we wanted
to reestablish that trust. And I'm glad people felt good about it. I'm glad our system works.
We had 500 attorneys in every battleground state on the ready. We trained and put in place
230,000 poll watchers and poll workers all across this country. And it's because people care
And people want to know that in the United States of America, when you cast a ballot, it matters and it counts.
And we really did try our best to identify issues before they became issues, tackle them.
And then we wanted to communicate with the country.
So you constantly saw that I was tweeting, Chairman Michael Lawley was doing the same thing.
We were trying to make sure we communicated.
We're on it.
We've got it.
And let us know anything you see.
So thank you.
I give full credit to our election integrity team.
They did an amazing job.
Well, you and your team deserve credit, and I don't think I'm alone in this.
The R&C screws everything up.
I don't know how they make it to work every day with their shoes tied and gas in their car, usually.
But I know I'm not alone in the confidence that I had this time around, and I thank you for that.
If we would have had, you know, when I saw the bomb threats happening in DeKalb County last night,
I thought, oh, boy, here we go.
And you guys were on it.
It was settled quickly.
I'm assuming that this was, you know, Russia or just somebody just, you know, trying to screw with our elections.
But it didn't screw them up.
And it was nice to have that confidence.
If we didn't have that confidence, I think America would be in a very different place today.
Yeah.
And that was, again, that was really important.
We made two goals for ourselves whenever we took over as chair and co-chair at the RNC,
and we said we need to get out the vote and we need to protect the ballot.
And we know that Donald Trump inspires people like no other candidate in history to get out the vote,
but we had to protect the ballot.
And whether it's identifying that these machines should never be connected to the internet
or training our team as to how you act in a moment when there is a question about anything,
I think our system worked, and it's a shame, Glenn, that we have to have a huge election integrity
operation in America.
But obviously we do, and we did this time around it.
I think the beauty of what happened this election is that people really saw that we probably
do need sweeping changes to how we vote in this country.
The long, you know, it's really, it's an election season, as Donald Trump always says.
And there are safeguards we could put in place, you know, if we get a bill passed through Congress
and 47th president Donald J. Trump signed it into loss that I think could make things more secure going forward.
But we had to get through this when we had to play the hand that we were dealt.
And again, just really, really proud of our entire team.
How do you do that federally when it's the states that have to decide?
I mean, honestly, I think everybody should install the Florida system.
Theirs was so screwed up.
And I think they could have counted every vote in America before, you know, Arizona finishes in two weeks.
They could have done it last night.
How do you do that and get involved in the state's job of running elections?
You're right.
Yeah, no, it is.
It is obviously up to the state legislatures to determine in each state how, you know, how voting takes place.
but I think that there's probably some states, and I don't know, I'm not an expert on this,
but people constantly want this.
They want safeguards.
They want to know that we have voter ID across the country.
They want to know that you're verifying signature requirements.
I can tell you when Eric and I went to vote in Florida, they were very strict.
They took my ID.
They made me sign, you know, on a little pad there so that they could verify that my signature matched.
Yeah, and it made me feel good and confident as a voter that they were doing those things.
But you see where you have places like California, for example, where they literally don't even want you to take out an ID.
They say, please don't even bring it in.
It's, you know, it's like poison to them, these IDs.
There'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.
And maybe it's only applicable to these federal elections.
I don't really know.
But I know that I constantly heard it out there on the campaign trail.
People time and time again want these in place.
it's like a 90%
win rate on an issue
whenever you say should people be voting
with IDs everybody says yes
everybody wants that and you want confidence
you know I have to tell you I walk
into my voting
station
every time I vote and
you know people know me they either
you know I'm either like a vampire
to them because they disagree with me politically
you know or they know who I am
and I love it
I love the fact that they'll come
I'll walk up to the table and they go, Mr. Beck, good to see you again.
Can I see your ID?
Yes.
I mean, that is good.
That's great.
So, Laura, help me out on, you know, we have another big election going on.
And I don't know if the GOP is going to get involved in this, but I hope your father-in-law does.
we have the possibility of replacing a worthless minority leader
with another worthless Senate minority leader
or now majority leader.
And 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 reelection unless you play ball with me.
We need somebody who is on the team.
What are you seeing and forecasting for, you know, the Senate leadership?
Well, I think the American people sent a mandate last night.
And I think when you look at the folks who were elected,
obviously Donald Trump at the top of the ticket,
and not just not he just wasn't elected Glenn you know winning the popular vote really winning in a
historic way in a true landslide fashion and then you look at some of the the candidates for
senate and in some of these down ballot races you know the american people want fighters
they want Donald Trump type fighters you know working for them in the united states senate
in the house of representatives and i think that should be reflected in a majority leader so
I can tell you, you know, Donald Trump doesn't mind putting his, his thumb on the scale whenever he thinks it's going to be important.
I would imagine he probably has some thoughts about this, and he will likely make those notes.
So, yeah, I think it's important that the will of the people is reflected, and it certainly should be in a majority leader.
So what is the, what's the plan? I mean, he's got so much to do, and, you know, the opposition, they're not just going to go away.
I think they're going to try to put him in jail.
That's the first thing.
You know, 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.
And Raskin and others are saying, you know,
they're not going to certify the vote on January 6th.
what are what is the GOP doing to try to navigate through some of these waters?
And isn't it it? It's the irony of it all, Glenn, right?
I know. I know.
They're telling us this now when it was such an overwhelming, obvious win for Donald Trump
and by all accounts. Look, whatever we can legally do from our end at the RNC,
we will absolutely do.
Anyone 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.
You know, it's outrageous.
I hope that those are just scare tactics.
I hope that that's just a lot of talk.
We lost you.
What did you say?
Oh, can you hear me?
Am I back?
Yeah, I can hear you now.
Go ahead.
Yeah, no, I just, I hope that these are games and they come to their senses and realize how
how important this is. This is far bigger than politics. This is about our country. And you can't just
throw things taphazardly around like that. So I would suggest that they stop playing games and they
really start to think about the future of America. And we're on the cusp of, as Donald Trump said last
night, America's golden age. I really believe it. I 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've tried to do to this man. And he says success will bring us to
together and I believe that's what's going to happen in the next four years.
Were you in the room with him when he knew and realized he won?
Yeah, yeah, we were all together.
You know, we went over to the convention center just before it was officially
called. It looked like it was trending that way.
And 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 first.
47 president. And, you know, I think everybody cheered. He was very, he was actually very humble in that
moment. And I think about, I know this man as a grandfather to my kids, my father-in-law. I've known him
for 16 years. I've seen the hell that he's gone through. I've seen his resolve, his courage in the
face of unimaginable odds and headwind. And it was, it was such.
an important moment, I think, for him. I don't even know if vindication is the right word,
but he deserves it more than any person out there. He 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. So obviously, it was, it was truly incredible to be there in that moment.
it's um i think he's changed i mean i don't obviously know him that well but uh i've known him
enough to see what i think has been a profound change he is you know i think since the assassination
um the he's just he's become uh a real iconic and strangely positive uh visionary
and somebody who just, there's no mistaking that he is,
that he is serving something bigger than himself.
You know, everybody has said, you know, Donald Trump's just doing it, whatever.
You don't do what he did, and you don't, I don't know what it is.
Just he has changed, I think, dramatically,
in a very deep and profound way.
Would you agree with that?
I agree with you 100%.
And I think you're right.
I think it really all kind of changed on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
And he will be the first person to tell you that he believes God's spirit his life that day.
And 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.
and I think he is different.
And I will continue to believe, as I think a lot of Americans believe,
that he was saved so that he could save this country.
I think he said it in his speech last night.
I believe that.
I believe that he is, to your point,
serving a higher purpose and a bigger purpose.
And I just, you know, I think he's changed.
And 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. Because I believe that a higher power has been working behind the scenes on all of this
for a very long time. And I do believe that the team that is finding their way around him,
you know, from, you know, from RFK to Rogan to everybody else, he has, there's something
happening here where that's bringing the country back together. If 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.
I agree. I agree.
Laura, thank you so much.
Again, please thank everybody on the
RNC team for
giving me confidence not only in the election,
but also in the GOP
for the first time. Thank you.
Thank you very much. We appreciate it.
You're streaming the
best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts.
A brother from another mother, the congressman from the great state of Texas.
Chip Roy joins us now.
Hello, Chip.
Glenn, how are you, brother?
I am really good, really good.
I thought we witnessed a miracle last night.
Well, I think that's a good way of putting it.
In fact, I saw your tweet along those lines.
I 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 saved us from ourselves.
I'm paraphrasing.
Yeah.
But I couldn't agree more.
I think this is an opportunity that the good Lord has given us to get it right.
And there can be no rest for the weary, for those of us that have fought to get to this place.
and I give significant credit to President Trump 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,
but the war, the lawfare against him, the impeachment efforts, the Russian hoax, the media.
And he navigated, as we well know, a legitimate primary, unlike Kamala Harris.
And here he stands with a mandate.
We'll see what happens in the House.
It's obviously very thin in the house.
We can talk about that more if you want.
But we've got to deliver now.
We have to deliver.
So, Congressman Raskin is saying, you know, all kinds of stuff.
Is that an empty threat or are they planning on, you know, trying to not certify on January 6th?
Well, first of all, this is why it's really important these last few races that are sorting out, like what the numbers end up.
being in the House of Representatives. Obviously, the House is critical with respect to how we
handle the process of certifying the election, taking the electors. 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.
The states will send us the electors and should, and we should certify them. Now, if there's
some kind of chicanery that's going on where they're trying to undermine the will of the electorate,
you know, then we'll have to look at that.
But I fully expect the state to send us the electors under law and that we should do our job to certify.
But let's be very clear.
President Trump should be certified.
It's very clear that he was the winner.
Anybody with eyes can see that.
And I think Jamie Raskin and others are just, you know, crying in their milk.
and, you know, it was always for them about power, never about the Constitution.
Some of us were trying to stand up and defend the Constitution and are trying to maintain that
credibility across elections. For example, I didn't believe Mike Pence could unilaterally
decide as vice president not to certify the election, nor do I believe that Kamala Harris
can unilaterally reject certification of the election. I think that principle is important here,
and that's why I took it four years ago,
and that's why I'll defend it now.
You know, he's bringing up that you're just not paying attention
to all those civil war amendments
where you can't be an insurrectionist and serve as president.
You know, they meant that back then,
well, if I'm not mistaken, chip,
and you might know better than I do,
but I don't think they enforced any of that
because they forgave the insurrectionists.
They were trying to heal the nation.
First of all, he's never even been charged, let alone convicted of being an insurrectionist.
They never even charged him with that.
So, you know, he's taking this and making it into something that it was not.
Am I reading that right?
I think that is correct.
And I certainly, the whole point of the post-Civil War structure was to heal the country, right?
It was to figure out how everybody working together.
and they wanted to have very specific safeguards for those who took up arms and fought.
And in this instance, as you point out, there has been no determination by any legal authority
that the president had engaged in anything akin to insurrection.
What Jamie wants to say is that in light of what the court said, I think what was it in Colorado,
that in light of that, that the Congress could make that determination.
right, that Congress could just say, oh, yeah, you're an insurrectionist, so you can't be seated as president.
Well, first of all, I don't think that's correct.
I don't think Congress can just, you know, say that.
But importantly, if we have the majority, if Republicans have the House majority,
then we are certainly not going to do that.
And I think when push comes to shove, the vast majority of Democrats, when they look at what that would mean,
when they see how much they were utterly destroyed at the ballot box,
that you're starting to see even their craziest or kind of looking starry at,
like, well, wait a minute, did we get a little too crazy this time?
And I don't believe that they would have a locked-step block of Democrats to do that.
And I certainly don't think there's a single Republican that would do that.
So as long as we've got the majority, as long as we do our job,
we're going to certify the election and Donald Trump will become president.
But I can promise you this, Glenn, on this,
Hill, I will die in fighting to defend what the people have done in choosing to elect Donald Trump.
And that's why these things matter that we do them the right way.
Are we going to be able to, if they take control, are we just now locked?
I mean, you know, there's a possibility.
We have 45 to 47 senators.
We could get a lot done in spending and taxes and everything else.
but without that Congress, are we just locked?
Well, we should, you mean, if we don't actually get the majority in the house, is that what you mean?
If we don't have the majority of the house, yeah.
Oh, yeah, I mean, if you don't have that house majority, we're in real bad shape.
Now, I believe we're going to have it.
I mean, the numbers I saw this morning had us at 219 to 216, but there were about five or six seats within 1%.
The last count I saw had it up to 220.
I think some of the people I trust are telling me 2.20, I think some of the people I trust are telling me 219,
21, 222 is possible. I haven't looked at each election, Glenn, but going with people that I trust,
I think we're going to end up in that zip code, which is roughly where we are now, right? We start now,
I think, at 222. Now, that's a tight majority. So the real rubber meets the road. I'm assuming we're
going to have the house and that we have roughly 220, 22, 21, 222. When the real rubber meets the road,
it's going to be when we get into reconciliation and we're having real fights over tax policy that we can do at a majority
vote, whether or not we have the nerve and the backbone to stand up in the House and the Senate
and do serious transformative policy changes that aren't the bidding of Key Street and Wall Street.
The real test for Republicans, are we going to empower Main Street Americans, hardworking
Americans, the people that elected Donald Trump? Are we going to give them relief on health
savings accounts. Are we going to make sure that they get tax policy that is beneficial to them,
or is this just a K-Street SOP? That's going to be the real first test for Republicans, in my opinion.
And that will really show its true colors in the Senate here in the next few days. I mean,
McConnell is going to be looking for that vote, and he's going to want it to go to, you know,
Cornyn or some other rhino like that to keep control.
of the power in the Senate. That's got to be broken up. Have you talked to the president about any of this
stuff? Well, I'm president-elect. Well, I'm trying to give those guys a lot of, you know,
room here to celebrate their win. But I've been on contact with a lot of people around him
talking about the things that I know we need to do. And I'm heading to Washington tomorrow. I'm
huddling with my team in Texas today. We're going to, you know, we've got our thoughts about where
if things need to go. We want to work with the team. But there is going to be leadership questions
in both the Senate and the House. And I say that not with any pejorative towards any individual.
What I'm saying is this is a unique moment in history. Nothing should be assumed. We should
start recognizing that this was America giving us a blank slate. And if Republicans do not deliver,
we will, we will go the way of the wigs. The Republican Party will die.
So the question right now is, will we put forward the right team and the right agenda in the House and the Senate to run alongside President Trump, to secure the border, to deport the mass numbers of illegal aliens that have been dumped into our country, to constrain spending, to constrain inflation, to stop endless wars, to restore a military that is not woke, that is strong but sparingly used?
will we restore health care freedom and make America healthy again with health savings accounts
instead of doing the bidding of pharma and insurance and big hospital corporations
will we stand up for americans being able to protect and defend their own families and have
secure communities we have to do it glenn there is no option failure is not an option here
i know this is this is it you've been given a you've been given a second chance
uh and it is taken a miracle to do it and if the gop scrupe
this one up.
I mean, you know, whatever.
But I hope that we are, I hope that between Elon Musk and the people that he could rally,
Donald Trump and the people he can rally, and RFK, the people he can rally,
and this kind of, you know, group of people that 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, get, 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.
But it's absolutely corrupt.
And I believe the American people were sent the message last night.
That's what we want.
Yeah, Glenn, I hope you can hear me.
I am 100% on the same page as you.
There should be a loud and clear message that was delivered to the swamp, to the Uniparty.
You know, President Trump, when he came in in 2017, by his own admission, was kind of feeling out the town.
Frankly, I don't think realize how bad it was.
I think you've seen that awakening in Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, who was a Democrat.
You know, these individuals now see how it's so broken.
A lot of us that have been up there kind of, I don't want to use the term profit, because that seems sacrilegious,
but those of us who have been kind of projecting and sort of trying to be a voice in the wilderness.
And, you know, people get mad to say, Chip, we only hear you giving speeches.
What are you doing?
It's like, look, man, I need 218 votes for change.
And I need a willingness to fight.
And I need an executive branch then that will go out.
And, you know, we've been out there trying to highlight.
these issues, right? Now everybody knows about Jocelyn Nungeret and about Lake and Riley.
Man, five years ago, four years ago, three years ago, I'd come on your program,
you and I would talk about it, but it has taken a while for the American people to believe
that their government would do to them what it's been doing. And so now they see it. Their eyes
are open. COVID helped. Elon buying Twitter helped. Guys like you that have been on the
front lines that have been saying, hey, here's the truth. That is all.
helped us expose all of this.
I have to tell you, I'm shocked.
I'm shocked.
Peanut the squirrel helped.
I mean, it's crazy.
What a statement, that squirrel and the overreach of government.
I mean, that is just out of control.
It's just out of control.
Chip, I've got to run.
And I know you've got a busy, busy day.
Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on the progress that we have made.
And we're expecting big things.
You know, come the new term.
Thank you. God bless you, Glenn.
Thanks for what you do.
You too.
