Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Well, it seems there are three political parties in America today. Republicans, Democrats, and Ron DeSantis.

We're going to talk to the man who first said that coming up in just a little while. We're going to also give you all of the latest standards. on the race. This is so weird. I've done this for 45 years, and I've never been on day number three, except for, I think, the last election and 2000. That was it. But this time it's several states. We'll tell you where the election stands and the House and the Senate in 60 seconds. You and I have a lot of work to do in this country. It seems like the battle is always uphill. especially when it comes to fighting against the left's constant efforts to destroy America from within. But hope persists, and so do we.

There are things you can do to patronize businesses that stand for the same principles that you and I stand for. We must all hang together, or we will certainly all hang separately, as Franklin said. They share your values. They won't send your hard-earned money to aid in the destruction of America or the destruction of babies. The name of the company is Patriot Mobile. They work for conservative causes. In fact, they're getting an awful lot of heat. The BBC just did an expose on how this phone company is using money to help conservative causes.

Oh my gosh. You mean like Verizon sending a ton of money to abort babies at Planned Parenthood? You mean like that BBC? Patriot Mobile. You're going to get the same great cell service. you're going to save money and you're going to be part of a movement. Join the movement now and make the switch today.

The Senate is headed towards a ranked choice off, which most likely will mean in Alaska, the Senate. The ranked choice voting, yes. That'll probably end up Murkowski. That's what I've believed since the beginning, just because of the way these things work and her name recognition there, she's really essentially running as the Democrat in that race against Chabaca, who is a... The Trump endorsed candidate.

Mandela Barnes has conceded to Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. And just to be clear, on Alaska, they're both Republicans. Lisa Murkowski is. So this seat will go to the Republicans, but it's just a matter of. which what quality you get there right mandela barnes did uh concede so that one was one that republicans needed to get if they wanted to get control the senate we have a 26 year old democrat in new hampshire which uh just one in the 22nd state house district another glass ceiling he's the first trans man to ever be elected in the house of representatives congratulations wow

walker and war knock are going to a senate runoff that was another thing that needed needed to happen for Republicans to get control. Okay. What you hope and pray for here, if you're, if you're Republicans, conservatives, wanting divided government, whatever that is, you pray to get to Georgia. That's your, your only chance really here to win the Senate, not the only chance, but the most likely chance is to get to Georgia and have a shot in that runoff and then you take your chances there. Right. That's going to be, it's going to be chaos.

Yeah, it is. Republicans have taken all three open. seats on the Ohio Supreme Court, which is really, really good. Ten more House races shift in GOP's favor, including in California and New York. But this is dicey. This is from the Washington Examiner. Ten more house seats in reliably blue districts have shifted in the GOP's favor. Just wait a minute.

Yeah, I think this is an election preview. Really old. Yeah, that's an election preview type of story. How the hell did that get in my show prep today? I'm sorry, I didn't read the date on that one. So tell me about what's happening with the house. Because that's, I think the, we don't know what's going to happen in the house, frankly. And I think it's important for people to understand that is not a sure thing.

As we've been, I know I get yelled at when I say things that aren't positive. No, I tell you, I was thinking about you today. And we've been, I've been joking with you the whole time. Of course, of course, yeah. You know, about people, because people really do want to hear what they want to hear. But you were the closest on everything. out of everybody I know that I saw make predictions. You were wrong one?

I'll be here. One so far. Pennsylvania, I don't know. That's still going to haunt me for the rest of my life. But I'll be somewhere between 31 and 34 to 35. Yeah. I just don't, these last election, these last few are going to be so close. Right.

It's going to be hard to tell. I will say, though, that when you look at where this is going in the House, Republicans are still favored. You know, this is something that you would say, if you were going to pick, which party do I want to be right now, if I want to win this election, you'd still want to be the Republicans.

But it is not a sure thing. I mean, you can even look at some of the prediction markets to see that play out. And, you know, you'd like to have a situation where you had, you were at 95% and you were just waiting to go across the line. That's not really where we are right now. Now, the Senate is going, to probably go to the Democrats?

Again, you can get there from here if you're the Republicans, but you need to win two of the three seats, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada. Nevada is very, very, very close. I don't think anybody knows what's going to happen there. Arizona, you'd say the Democrats are favored in the Senate race. You probably say Republicans are favored in the gubernatorial race right now, but it's super, super close. And then, of course, a runoff in Georgia.

Yes. Republicans, as far as the prediction markets have it, have 83% chance to win the House. So that's, again, you'd much rather be the Republicans than the Democrats. But, you know, we're going to be looking at long-term counting over a long period of time in a bunch of seats in like California. And, you know, if you go back to the 2018 election, we did election night coverage. It was not a good night for Republicans. It was a midterm election when Donald Trump was president. and we all looked at it at the end of the night and said, this was not good, but it wasn't a catastrophe. It wasn't a blue wave per se.

It was a blue night, but not a blue wave. As these later districts in California came through, a lot of the close ones wound up going towards Democrats. And while they already had control of the House before the night was going to be over, it wound up being closer to what you might call a wave. It had a really good year in 2018. If that type of thing happens here, it's the type of thing that could go from slight Republican control to slight Democratic control.

And I'm talking about five seats, like a really tight control either way. You don't want to be in that position. That's not where you want to be. You want to be much more confident you could take out one of these two, you know, one of these two between the Senate and the House. The Senate is difficult because probably you look at all three of the races and say the Democrat is the favorite. right now. In Nevada, it's really close. You could probably go either way on that analysis, but both Arizona and Georgia, Arizona, you'd say just by looking at the vote that probably the Republican is going to, I think Masters might come up just short there, not out of the question,

but it's going to be close. When you go to Georgia, it's up in the air. Republicans have historically been favored in runoffs like this. They've done very well in Georgia. If you remember going into the 2020. This was the analysis going into the 2020 runoffs. Wait a minute. Republicans never lose these. Well, they did lose two of them in 2020. In 2022, the issue here is a lot of people theorize that Brian Kemp, who is a pretty popular governor, won easily over Stacey Abrams, helped Herschel Walker keep that as close as it was. And with Kemp not on the ticket next time, you will see Warnock be able to win that race. Now, I don't think that's a sure thing by any means.

I don't either. Last time that they won, Warnock won, you had Trump. It's crazy time. It was crazy. Post-election. You had some allies of Trump saying Republicans don't vote. That was all screwed up last time. All screwed up.

I can't imagine Republicans not getting out. If it was up to our state to hold the Senate or to get the Senate, do you think there'd be Republicans sitting on the sidelines? No, but that was the case in 2020. Yeah, but they did sit out on the sidelines. Some did. Many did. Yeah. Now, remember, that that election took place on January 5th, 2020.

The day before January 6th. So, I mean, it was a very intense time and a weird time, right? I mean, you remember you had people running around Georgia saying, don't vote because it won't count. count people who were supposedly aligned with Donald Trump going out there saying, oh, guys, you know, these voting machines are all hacked, don't bother going out and voting. So that was, who knows how much of a difference that made. The other thing, though, you saw in that election was a really, normally in runoff elections, what you see in places like Georgia, you also see this in Louisiana, is people who are really politically engaged, go out and vote. Those groups are usually older people. They're more typically college educated, white people. kind of a constituency of the classic Republican Party. So they did really well in these runoffs. That was not the case. In fact, some areas showed higher minority turnout in the 2020 runoff than even in the regular election, like percentage-wise, not as high as a raw number, but percentage-wise.

So the question is, is that the new, is that now the state of play where everyone really looks at these things and goes out and votes? I will say in an election where the entire Senate is on the line, it's going to be impossible to avoid knowing about this. This is not going to be a typical runoff election where you're not really paying attention. Everyone's going to be harassed for weeks and weeks and weeks about getting out to vote. Everyone's going to know about it in Georgia. I would expect a very high turnout election for that runoff if it counts. Now, if Republicans, let's say win Arizona and Nevada, that might be the best case scenario.

because then you go into that runoff with already the Senate being decided for the Republicans. And at that point, you may see people being a little more flippant about getting out to the polls. Maybe. You may. I mean, so I think that would improve. You've got Romney's in there and Murkowski's. Yeah, but I mean, control is control. It might not be as exciting to regular voters who aren't thinking that way.

But again, the Senate is, you know, the odds of this. if you believe the prediction markets, the odds of this, if you take out a typical six-sided die, right, and you flip it up for one roll, you have to roll a one or a two, okay? You could do that, right?

It's not, the odds aren't in your favor, but you could roll one or two. Then, what you need to do is pick up that die again, and then roll it again, and again, get a one or a two. You have to do it two times in a row. Difficult, but you could do it, right? Then you've got to pick it up again,

and the third time, you've got to roll of one. If you can complete those three things in a row, those are the things that you need to do to get to win these three seats. It's not impossible. It's just hard to do all three things. And to be fair, you only need to do two of the three, but it's just not easy.

It's just not an easy task. It can happen. It's not easy. The opposite is true in the House, where Republicans are favored, should win, unless somehow they don't. Unless somehow they don't. I want to talk to you about that here in just a second. Let me talk to you about relief factor.

Your first dance at your daughter's wedding. The one that you couldn't make it through without feeling like your body was coming apart. Those laps in the pool that maybe you can swim again. Laps. It's the lawnmower you can push around the yard again. Not that you want to, but it's good to know you can. because you're out of pain.

It's all of the things that you love to do, but haven't been able to do for a while. It's relief factor. I can tell you that it has changed my life and it can change yours as well. Relief factor. It's a product put together. It's not a drug developed by doctors to make sure that you don't space out. It has four key ingredients that fight inflammation,

which is the source of most of our pain that we deal with. And it is powerful. The three-week quick start, just try it for 1995. It's a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more. Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four, relief.

Get the 1995 three-week quick start. It's Relieffactor.com or call 800, the number four relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. 10 seconds, station ID. You know, you're talking about rolling a one or a two, and then the next time rolling a one or a two, and then a one. It makes me feel better that it can happen in seeing it has happened, it seems, with the Democrats.

Democrats won, this is back in 2018. Democrats won 76% of black men's vote. It was a margin cut to 65% just on Tuesday. That's an 11% boost for the GOP. Republicans also picked up an additional 7. percent from black women. Democrats in 2018 enjoyed a 29 percent edge among Latino men. That was slashed to only 8 percent, and Latino women's support rose 14 percent. Republicans also cut their margin of support from voters 18 to 29 in 2018. Democrats were plus 35 for that voting

block, but now it is plus 28. Support from 30 to 40. four-year-olds also went from plus-19 Democrat to plus four. The GOP made other inroads. 19% margin for women for the Democrats in 2018. It was 8% this year. When Democrats took control of the House in 2018, a little more than half the voters were women, and the party had a huge advantage. Even though women represented a similar majority of voters in 2022,

Democrat, the lead, appears to be cut noticeably. Republicans grew their support among men. Republicans were plus four over Democrats in 18. This time, they were plus 14. This is a little staggering. Plus, you look at the Jewish vote. According to the data, 33% of Jewish voters polled, voted Republican in the 2022. that is now 30% in 2020 and 24 in 2016.

So you have 33%. I could go on. Hispanic voters. Hispanic voters in Florida, 15 point advantage in Florida. Now, look at all the people that have moved towards the Republicans. If any of those are true, their leads should have fallen apart. But then you also have, and I'm just saying this part of it is absolutely nuts. And I don't think this is, this isn't anything except people being nuts.

Crime numbers. Crime numbers in New York. Up 29% since last year, 32% since 2020. robbery is up 31% felony assault 14% transit crime in a system under the governor's control up 40%. The subway system has had nine murders, stabbings, beatings. It is happening, it seems, all the time. The legalization of marijuana and the virtual decriminalization of open use has unleashed chaos on the streets. You also, in Pennsylvania, you have crime, inflation.

Consider this. Transgender women competing with other females on school sports teams. A recent survey found 45% of respondents supported this. It's in the minority. However, 45% support that kids, your, daughter should be able to compete against somebody who is a guy. That should raise all kinds of red flags. Means one out of every two people think biological men competing with women is okay. You have record-breaking homicide carjacking. It's devastated the state and yet they voted for it.

I mean, look, this is a good environment for Republicans, which is why we all thought that they would do better than they did. You know, when you look at some of the stuff with the exit pole, first of all, exepoles, we all know. Exipoles can be unreliable. We can, we make fun of them when they get these things wrong all the time. So, you know, these are small subgroups of exit polls. The other thing, too, part of what you just said explains some of these things.

Like you said, in Florida, there was an incredible increase. Well, they did really well in Florida, right? And so part of the reason why some of these numbers moved is because they did do really well in some of these regions. You know, New York, you mentioned the crime statistics. Republicans did incredibly well in New York. Now, they start the gubernatorial race probably at what, minus 30? Like in a normal race, what does Kathy Hulke will win? 30.

She's probably going to win by five. So, like, people really did react in a lot of these areas. It didn't happen everywhere. And I think, you know, it takes a while to form a really. well thought out, uh, data based understanding of an election like this. And I,

if you rush to it, a lot of times you miss. But one of the things that's sort of that popping up as I look at all of these things and, and, and, and, and, and,

and, and, and, and, the, the, democratic approach of all of their nonsense, worked in certain areas,

worked in certain places like Pennsylvania, for example, where it was, abortion was the number one thing cited by voters. as the reason they were voting. Right. As dumb as that is, and I think to me that just says,

you should move from Pennsylvania. No, seriously, if they're voting for, you know, abortion, what was the state that just said, you know, the baby can be born. You can let it die if they,

if they tried to abort the baby. I mean, this is craziness. Those people are not going to change their mind. When they're not, when they're not affected by crime statistics, by what's happening to their children in schools and they're voting for death of babies after birth. You're in the wrong place. You're in the wrong place.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to it. I want to go back into two things because it is close in the house. It is within four or five seats. We have 222 house seats right now, 218 were needed, but how many races are still undeclared? In the house? In the house. God. Well, yeah, the latest projection I saw was, I should give it this to you exactly, because I will say, I'm worried about the house.

I'm worried about it because the projections, you mentioned, what was it, MSNBC had a 220 for Republicans. 22. No, 222. So 222, you're talking about five seats. And they have control. If they switch, switch from what they project as Republican. They haven't called 222. They're just projecting that 222 to 217, which would give Democrats the majority.

That's how close it is. So could they be wrong on five seats? You know, I mean, sure. 100%. These are things. Votes are coming in still because of these terrible laws in these states where you can receive mail and vote as long as it's postmarked by election day. Now, of course, they say, well, we're going to keep these windows open. Because what if there's a, you know, what if they're, Glenn, Glenn, what about an armless,

soldier. An armless soldier fighting for in the in the deserts of of Madagascar. Somebody could have held the stamp up so whatever. You could have licked it. That's fine. Exactly. And then that armless soldier searched around the deserts of Madagascar if they have deserts and say, hey, please lick this stamp so I can put this in. And they did it for months. And finally on election day, they finally got someone to help them. And they got it into the, and it was post box. It postmarked in Massachusetts. Madagascar at the post office, the one they have. And it was mailed and it's going to show up in like six months.

And we got to hold these polls open until it comes. No. Like that's what they say. Now look, I do you pay bills? Glenn, do you have any bills? I do. My lifestyle, it's kind of expensive. My lifestyle, kind of expensive.

Right. A lot of people's lifestyle at this point with Biden inflation, kind of expensive. I think about my bills often. And you know what I do when I want to pay them? I send them in early. I don't send them in the day they're due, assuming they're going to go through and I'm not going to get a late fee. Well, with Biden in office, you might send them in the day there too.

Okay, it's hard to send them in early. I understand. But this one is just the cost of a stamp. If you actually care about voting, you can get that ballot there on time. You can drop it off anytime early. The polls are now open for 16 months before every election. There's plenty of opportunity to get your freaking ballot there by the day that it's due. And it's inexplicable that we put up with this nonsense.

It's so ridiculous. And this part of it is all the left. It's 100% the left doing it. They want to keep these things open. They give you the sob story of the one-armed, you know, a veteran out there trying to get his vote into Madagascar. Who is also trans black and peg-legged sex worker. Not that there's anything wrong with that. So no arms, a peg-leg, formerly a man, now a woman and a sex worker.

So there you go. While being a soldier. They're very, very efficient. They're very good. Yeah. So that's how close this is. And like, while Republicans are favored in these races, they're not a sure thing. And I will say, like, I can't even imagine what the country looks like if Republicans wind up losing the house.

First of all, for the country and it is of itself. And secondly, you know, look, there's going to be a lot of people who do not have confidence in the results. And I don't think any amount of information right or wrong is. going to persuade either side, either way. I will tell you this. I just would like to say to the mainstream press and everybody else that if it didn't come out our way, we were supposed to be in the streets today, rioting. Does anybody remember that?

Well, it really hasn't come out the way we thought it would. And, gee, I don't hear the mostly peaceful, mostly violent, there are no riots in the streets. That's interesting. That's very interesting. wonder if it would have happened the same way had the big tidal wave of red actually happened. Wonder what would have happened on our streets. I would have been fascinating to watch. Tell me about the...

From a distance. The Arizona, they are still counting how we're supposed to maybe find out tomorrow. We will see on that one. I'm not confident we will have that answer by tomorrow. I'd like to talk to somebody in Arizona that knows anything about this and what's left counting. We should see if we can get John Gabriel on. He's a he's a conservative out in Arizona. I've been watching this stuff really closely.

We should see if we can ask if we can get him on. But he, we talked about this before and, you know, he's been following it closely. He's still pretty optimistic. He's more optimistic on Masters than I am. I'm a little, I'm skeptical that Masters is going to get across the line. I want it to happen really badly. How far away is he? He is a couple of points away, isn't he?

I think right now the count is he's minus five, I want to say. Minus five. If he can pull that out at minus five. But that is just, this is how their count works. And it's the same way it worked in 2020. It feels much better to be on this side of it in some regard. Yeah, I know. Because you start way behind and then you catch up as opposed to Pennsylvania where you start

ahead and you start to lose. That part, that's much more. unfortunate. Here, so yeah, it's about five points right now. Masters is trailing by 95,000 votes right now. 70% of the vote is in. He will close that. That will not remain at five. It will get closer, I think. Well, it should. It should. Now, I, because they count them in reverse. They count the day of last. Now, again, all this stuff should be, the early vote should be ready to go the second the poll's closed. That's what should happen. Yes. It's what happens in Florida. It's why you know who won in Florida a couple hours after the polls are

closed because it's actually efficiently processed. May I ask you a question? Yes. Why don't they count the votes at the same time? I mean, Florida seems to be able to count the vote at the same time. Florida processes the vote. They don't release a count, but they process the vote early when they come in before the election. They make sure, so when the polls close, they can look at numbers and say this is how many votes came in early. So that happens almost, I mean, not instantaneous, very quickly. These are laws set by states. Now, that's good.

It sounds like, it sounds like, why don't we have a federal law? Everyone counts it the same way. Yeah, you don't want that. You don't want one point of failure. If you care about election integrity, you certainly don't want one point of failure. And you don't want to control by the federal government. That would be very bad. So having different systems is not as bad as it feels.

However, they should be sensible systems. And counting the vote is something where you can have a lot of, you can have a uniform way of doing that. That shouldn't be passed by the federal government, but people should take best practices. There's not enough federalism going on here where people try different things. We see what works and what doesn't, and then people change. We all saw, I mean, look, no matter what you think about the 2020 election, a lot, it didn't, people are not happy with the way it was done, right? And if you care about people. There shouldn't be anyone happy with that.

Right. Even if you're on the left, right? You might like the result if you're on the left, but you can't be happy with the way that that went down and the way that people have had their confidence shaken in this process. If you actually care, like you say you do about democracy, then you would care about everybody, even the people you don't like and you think are evil Hicks, you should care if they believe in the system.

And so making this more reliable and understandable for people would be very helpful. The fact that every year, I, who do this all the time, have to go back and reread all of the processes and all these states to understand what the hell is going to happen this year is a problem. It shouldn't be that hard, but it is. It never has been this hard. And here's the problem. We've had problems with voting and, you know, with voting and, and, and, you know, with voting and

whole taxes and everything else. Oh, yeah. And that, I'm glad all of that is cleaned up. However, America in my lifetime has never seen this, never seen this. And it's almost as if some of these states are making it more and more painful. So we will cry out for a federal government to come down and fix this system. Don't do it. Don't do it.

Yeah, stay away from that. I've heard so many people come and say, Glenn, we should. I mean, we got to stop this. This has got the federal government. No, they shouldn't. That's what the Democrats are trying to push through right now. That's the first bill. That was HB.1. Oh, yeah. They want it. They want it. And if you're worried about the fortification of your elections, you do not want the federal government as a single point of failure. No. For not only what might happen with crazy things here in America, but. what does the Chinese government do with one single point of failure? One of the things we saw when they were investigating the Russians and they're in, because they did try to, of course, screw with the elections in different ways and it didn't, it did not affect the results of the 2016 election. I think this one was, I think this one may have been 2012.

It's been all over the time. Russia, of course. They're an adversary. Of course they try to do this. But what they found in the research and stuff that's come out over time is that they couldn't even figure out. how to do it because there's so many different systems handled by so many different people in so many different areas

locally. There's too much. They are used to central command. Right. And when they started going into our elections, they couldn't do it because there is no central command. Right. And that's good. That's really, really good. But our states need to come up with common sense things. Surely we can Accounting is. We can find a way to make this safe, true, and quick. Back in just a second.

They all have been reviewed. These are all the day of and people who have received a ballot and dropped off day of. In Maricopa County alone, there's roughly 290,000 mail-in ballot drop-offs, and those are running between 63 to 75% to Lake and Masters. Lake's going to crush it once they start releasing these numbers. Now, the county election board is managing the release of a two lessen to try to manage the narrative, Just wait today and tomorrow. There's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots that will be released, and they will be heavily, heavily masters and lake.

Okay, so wait a bit. Why do you say, who's trying to control the narrative here? It's the Maricopa County Board of Elections. They're incompetent. They did this in 2020. And for example, last night they said they were going to release 100, 150,000. ballots. They selectively released 30,000 that were pro Katie Hobbs. So there's a huge wave coming. So are you suggesting that they are trying to manipulate how it comes out to?

Yes, the narrative. What's the benefit of the narrative if Lake winds up winning anyway? They know Kerry Lake's going to win. They know Blake Masters is going to win, so they're just trying to delay it. Hmm, it's interesting. We've been speaking about today how horrible the red wave was. Lake is incredibly popular here. She did wonderful on the youth vote. She is going to crush them. I do think she's the favorite.

I mean, you may know more about the sort of granular level there than I do. But, I mean, looking at what the analysis I've read leads me to believe that Lake is going to squeak it out and Masters is going to come up just short. I could be wrong on that and I hope I am. Oh boy, I hope you are. But I think, you know, again, the fact that Masters still has a chance, I'm optimistic about just because when you're looking at the control of the Senate, that makes it a heck of a lot easier. We're trying to get Kerry Lake on today and as well as Blake Master. We reach out to Blake and get there look at things. But we'll let you know as we go on. Thank you so much for your phone call.

There is a New York Times editorial out today about DeSantis' God Complex. Ah. Uh-huh. Yeah. After decades of closely observing and writing about American politics, I'm accustomed to the runway, religiosity of many political campaigns, and the whiff of theocracy in our democracy. But an ad that Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida released in the final days of his successful re-election, nonetheless took my breath away. tweeted by his wife, blah, blah, blah, in little more than 90 seconds,

the unseen narrator mentions God 10 times. Beginning with the assertation that on the eighth day, God gazed at the newly created world and decided it needed a protector. So God made a fighter, the narrator said. This is the ad's refrain intoned again and again and accompanied each time by shining commanding image

of Ron DeSantis. The words seemed to be a tweak of the ones in the well-known speech, so God made a farmer. done by the radio personality, Paul Harvey delivered in 1978, but I don't care about the president for the ad. Oh, okay.

Well, we don't care what you think about the ad. How about that? I know. The only thing that was worth talking about in this is how they are pitting him and Donald Trump picking at that. They point out Trump suggested to a group of reporters that he had dirt on DeSantis

and were prepared to spill it if he did run. Trump said, I know things about him that aren't very flattering. I know more about him other than perhaps his wife. Please, please don't go there. Please don't go there. The Glenn Back program. You know, when you discover something that really works to solve a problem in your life,

you grab onto that thing and you try not to let go, you tell everybody, I was having this really huge problem and it solved. I couldn't get Uno to eat. He wouldn't start eating. Ever. Ever. he'd look at me, then he'd look at the food, then he'd look at me, and he'd walk away.

So we had to try everything. Well, we tried Rough Greens, and that worked. He now eats his food, he pushes it up against the wall, nuzzles it up against the wall. You can hear his dog tag and the wall just on the side of this metal dish as he goes for it. That's a huge difference. And I've seen a difference in his health over the year that he was taking it. I got to tell you he's a different dog. Try a free trial bag of Rough Greens for your dog just to try out.

All you pay for is shipping. Go to Roughgreens.com slash Beck. That's Roughgreens.com slash Beck. Or call 833 Glenn 33. That's 833 G-L-E-N-N-33. Call them today. Free trial bag, roughgreens.com slash Beck. Cheers.

So there's the obvious big losers, you know, in this last campaign. Stacey Abrams, Charlie Chris, Liz Cheney. But I'd like to point out, Mitt Romney is a pretty big loser in this one as well. He was the only Republican senator who refused to endorse Mike Lee. And he said, you know, I don't get involved in primaries. I don't endorse. But like a couple of days later, how come you endorse Liz Cheney? Who, by the way, big loser.

Big loser, she lost. I would just like to today suggest. that Senator Sean Reyes as the junior senator has a nice ring to it, as does Rick Scott for Senate Minority or Majority Leader in the Senate. I'm just throwing that out. We continue with a man who just said there are three parties in America, Republicans, the Democrats, and Ron DeSantis. We talk to him in just a second. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation has been some Supporting America's heroes and their family since 9-11, let me tell you about one of them. I want to talk to you about a staff sergeant who was in the Marines.

His name is Christopher Slutman. In 2019, he was killed in action by an IED, leaving a wife and three kids behind. Can you imagine getting that call, or not that call, the people knocking at your door? He left a wife, three kids behind. Thankfully, Tunneled for Towers is there. They were springing into action right away. when a first responder or a military service member doesn't come back home and young children are left behind, they pay off the home mortgage and help with the financial burden that can bring the needed stability to the family at the worst time for the family.

This is the house that Christopher and his wife picked is the place they raise their kids. It's the house their kids feel safe in. And now they'll be able to continue living there because tunnel to towers and the people just like you who keep, them going, we're there. Help America's heroes and their families donate $11 a month to Tunnel to T-Tor.org. That's T, the number two T.org. Well, we have to say hello and welcome to Mr. Daniel Horowitz. How are you, sir? Great to be back with you, Glenn. Well, I'm actually in a good mood. Our party won. Uh, yeah, uh, we're there. We're close. Are you confident that we have the house?

Oh, I meant our party of one. Oh, yes. Yes, you're right. There is, you know, I think this, I said this yesterday, and I want to go through your article because you feel the same way I do. That is the future, I think, of the Republican Party is Ron DeSantis. He's a guy who's not angry. He's just very clear. He doesn't threaten anyone.

he makes promises. And I think the next two years with him, it's going to be remarkable. He said he's going to march through all of the state institutions and cut this woke crap out. And Glenn, I think this is the internal discussion a lot of us need to have the next two years. Rather than focusing on the next election immediately, the presidential election and the politics surrounding that, the lesson from this election, while there's many known and unknown factors, One thing is clear. It is a tribal country. The blue states got bluer. The red states got redder. And unfortunately, a lot of them in the middle are protected by this juggernaut of electoral chicanery. Some of it's legal. Some of it probably violates the spirit of the Constitution. But it is what it is. Every single blue state is locked up with a communist nutcase in every position of power. The question is, you know, not so much, oh, you know, who should run for president, Ron DeSantis, this and that.

It's why don't we have a dissentist in every county and state position? Exactly right. Every other red state. That should be our focus. That's what we've been looking for. We have been looking at as Tea Party people. This is what we've been looking for since 2008. Who will actually stand for the Constitution?

I'm tired of standing against what the Democrats are doing. stand for the Constitution. When I talked to DeSantis, he said to me, this is a year ago, he said, I want to make sure that I have closed all the doors that reduce the power of this office as much as possible. So when I leave, there's nothing really the governor can do. That's the way it should be. And yet you look in every one of these red states. You start in Texas and you go up the middle of the country.

the Rocky Mountain States, Great Plains, the Deep South. And you look at the departments of health, the departments of education, and they're still promoting versions of CRT. They're promoting the transgenderism. They're promoting global warming and sometimes implementing policies based on that. So that's the problem. The red states aren't red. We don't have our own firewall.

We have it in terms of the electorate that certainly doesn't want Democrats. and those are safe states in that respect, but name me another governor who's doing that. And I think that needs to be our focus. And obviously the school boards and county positions. And then not just the elections, but the off-season game, every day in between the elections. We've been fighting on those issues. I've always said the upcoming Texas legislative session, in my mind, is more important than the congressional session. Yeah.

Because they do have the trifect of control. So what are they going to do with it? weak house. Very weak house here in Texas. I mean, I find it interesting that places like Texas, you've got weakness. And yet in a place like Arizona, which is really kind of a purple state, you have Kerry Lake coming in and I think she's going to win. But she's competitive in a purple state and has everyone's attention and eyes on her in the entire country. And that's only because she's just not going to have people violate the Constitution and tell her what, you know, the new word of the day is. And I think that's, I think that's winning in any red state. It's a clear win for a governor.

And that's really the model going forward. We can have a discussion on how we could win a presidency with the electoral map that the Democrats have built? And what do you do with blue states that seem to be impervious to facts and reason and economic conditions and crime? But what I want to know first is within our own sphere of influence in a state like Idaho, why is there the transgender agenda being taught within the public schools there? You know, why doesn't North Dakota, which just won 90% GOP majorities in both houses, why doesn't that look more like Florida? And, you know, that gets into some of what you're talking about.

The leadership races at the federal level, but it's true in the state level as well. These are all things I think we have a lot more influence over than the R versus the generic fight. I think we need to clean our own house first and take the red states red before we could radiate our influence off to maybe the swing state. Well, I will tell you that I think it's going to come down to red states being. the block for for the republic i really do and if the red states aren't really strong and strong through and through uh they're going to get crushed you know this this administration is doing everything they can to federalize everything they can and if you don't have red states fighting back i mean look the people who voted for uh you know abortion you can kill the child after birth that that went through

People who are voting for that kind of evil and then don't see a problem with Federman, you know, I got to tell you, you're in the wrong place. You've got to get, we've got to strengthen these red states. You've got to get to the red states. Well, I want to fight for, you know, Pennsylvania. Good, go for it. But what are you expecting a rescue mission at some point? You are in the minority and the people who are in the majority are,

really voting for crazy things. They're not going to get better first. It's going to get worse. You know, when we were talking pre-election and we were reading the key leaves thinking, they would win a lot of these states, win large majorities, there was a part of me that was concerned that it would create this massive rhino caucus of blue state Republicans that would constantly be looking over their shoulders with tenuous control, trying to pander to them.

And I think in many ways, this just reaffirmed what many of us are thinking is that we need some sort of de facto national divorce that we don't really have the ability to save them, but we need to save ourselves, save our own life, liberty, and property from the blue state morass, from the federal tyranny. And that's the good news. While there aren't as many state trifectives as we thought, there still are more red trifectives than blue ones. And we don't need too many. won, it's trying to grow that roster. Unfortunately, in some blue states, as we're seeing with the leadership of the House here

in Texas, the rhinos get in. They don't run as a Democrat, because you'll never win as a Democrat. And so they just run as a Republican, and they become these wishy-washy rhinos that stand in the way of a lot of really good things.

And this really needs to be the focus of, I think, conservative media, conservative influence. This is where we can have an outsized share of influence rather than focusing 100% on the DC soap opera. Look, they're going to say we don't have enough power or control to do what we want there. Well, in a state like Texas, why do they give half the chairmanship to the Democrats? You know, why do you have weak leadership as speaker? And these are the things we need to start pushing legislation.

I mean, I think this is an area where Trump could be very helpful. rather than just holding, you know, election rallies, hold legislative rallies, rally behind bills to Ben grooming in Texas like Brian Slayton wants to do, for Texas to build the wall, legislation to nullify any federal unconstitutional act. Things like that, obviously medical freedom. So there's going to be a very narrow window come January where these legislatures convene. It's all very quick. And picture you got, you know, 20 minutes in the,

the King's Treasury, you can get anything you want. They have strong majorities in many of these states. What is it we want? We don't have to wait for a trifectin Washington, which might not ever materialize or work for us. We could fortify the roots of liberty right now in a number of states. So let me go to the National here for just a second. I believe, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, I believe the Republicans when

and if they get the House, need to come in, like, just as a storm and not start with the hearings, but start with legislation, common sense, big, bold legislation, one right after another, even if it won't pass in the Senate, just pass them, pass them, pass them, pass them. So that way you can say, really, I'm a do nothing Congress. we've done all these things, and these were all good for the economy, these were good for the free market, these were good to stop the tyranny. Oh, and we're also doing investigations. What do you think of that? That's what the Democrats do, and it always works before you can mobilize opposition to one. Correct. This is what DeSantis was doing every day, come out with a new policy. So in this case, yeah,

I mean, all of this stuff on energy, getting rid of every global warming regulation, defunding, grooming throughout the federal government. then you go on to medical freedom, getting rid of the biomedical security state, the emergency powers of the president. You go on to getting rid of liability protection for big pharma. You know, let the Democrats run on being the party of the globalist. You defund all the surveillance, the surveillance state. You know, there's a lot of evidence that the abortion issue might have worked against Republicans in some states. But what if they fortified themselves by being the champion of real privacy, like security

state and just the surveillance in general. You know, selling off federal big one, most of the West is owned by the Fed. So how do we even have red state freedom if the Fed don't have to land? Exactly right. The idea is that we didn't really hear in this kind of Kevin McCarthy website, whatever it was called. It did not match Newt Gingrich's contract with America. And it was really missing. They pointed out there's a lot of crime. There's a lot of inflation. And you know, in a sane world, people wouldn't have voted for the Democrats in that environment. But punches we do have and can throw, structurally, politically, electorally, in education system,

we can't afford to miss an opportunity. Okay, so, Daniel, I want to talk to you because I think there's a lot of people. I know I am. I am ready to hold their feet to the fire every step of the way. These people have got to start reacting to the American people. This is the last chance, the Republic. have, you know, how many times are they going to fool us with this? They have got to move. And I want to talk to you about a strategy on that and pick your brain. We'll do that in one

minute, standby. John wrote in about his experience with Relief Factory. He says, I used Relief Factor for about six months now. I was really skeptical at first. I put off trying it until my brother loaned me a few days' worth of his. Since he had found it effective, I thought, why not? I was pleasantly surprised. I benefited every day as relief factor reduced my constant back pain, which came from years of injuries. I don't know if it helps everybody, but it sure helps me. John, thank you for writing in. Thank you for trying Relief Factor. Will you try it, please? See if you can get your life back. The three-week quick start is 1995. It's basically a trial pack. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor, and about 70% of them go on to order more. Get Relief Factor. It relief. factor. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief, 1-800, the number four relief. The 1995, three-week quick start. Again, Relieffactor.com or call 800 the number four relief. Relief factor, feel the difference. Ten seconds, station ID. So I read Rick Scott's 26, you know, policies that he would want to, that he was pushing for. education, Department of Education, closing. U.S. military, zero diversity training,

and no affirmative action, federal funding, strict mandatory minimum sentences required where a police officer is shot. Any attempt to deny our Second Amendment freedom opposed and stopped. There are some, there's stronger things from Rick Scott. And I would love to see Rick Scott be the guy to challenge Mitch McConnell, because I think McConnell needs to go. Whether he's minority or majority, he needs to go. Who is McCarthy a guy that we can

trust? Because I don't think so. Never understood how he was able to escape the widespread repudiation of the Republicans of the past. Remember the young guns, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy. I think everyone recognizes that that the dawn of the era of the prior to is over with. And somehow he oversaw the GOP

trisect. It's important people understand this. He was the majority leader when they had the House, the Senate, and the presidency, and yet still almost every budget bill with a minority Republican support, majority Democrat support. This is a man that does not really have an ideological core. When you're thinking of what we're facing. To me, the best description of it is your interview with Whitney Webb. That's what it is. It's something you couldn't define 10 years ago, maybe even five years ago. Yeah. This feudalism, transhumanism, this private public partnership of our lives and destroy life as we know it, having heartbeat and so unlike Kevin McCarthy, that he understands that. So who does?

going on. Who has it that the people could get on the phones and just burn up the phones and tell Congress their local congressman, enough is enough. This is who I want you to back. Who would do it and who could do it? There's one man who seemed to get more votes than anyone else for Congress, and that's Chip Roy. I love Chip. He is someone that has been more vocal. I don't know if he wants to run for leadership, but he's kind of in the Freedom Caucus leadership. See, we get Chip Roy on the phone. has said he wouldn't, Jim Jordan said he wouldn't challenge Kevin McCarthy. So it's going to have to be someone who's willing to do it. And maybe it would be a guy like Chip.

Okay. I'm going to call, we're going to call Chip, see if we can get him on the phone. Do you agree that the American people, I think they're at this place where they'll do it? We have heard call Congress, call blah, blah, blah. I think the Republicans now are so serious about you're done with me. I'm done. If you don't do this, this term, I'm done. Show some courage, show some patriotism, show some loyalty to the oath you just took. Do you agree? People are there?

I think they are, especially because they are upset about the underwhelming results, which I think, again, in my own devilish way, I think it does work to our favor. because, you know, a large majority of big victory, I just think it would have put a band-aid on the problems we've always had with this party. You know, people thought when Trump won in 2016, it would flush it out. But the truth is, we still, to this day, have the same leadership. I mean, they're the same guys that drove people to, you know, issue all the establishment candidates during that presidential election and go to Trump. And yet, somehow they're still still blind and kicking.

the time has come. Yeah. Thank you very much. Daniel Horowitz from Blaze TV. God bless. If you haven't seen his podcast, you need to watch his podcast. Also, he mentioned mine with Whitney Webb.

that, you know, I disagree with this person and I think she's been a real thorn in people's side, and this is going to sound like I'm not sincere, but I truly mean this. Stacey Abrams has said, after this election loss, I vow I won't stop running. And she is morbidly obese, but I could lose maybe 50 pounds myself. Now, I prefer rowing, but if she wants to run, maybe we could get into some sort of a weight, lost challenge, both be healthier people. And I think this is, I think this is the best thing Stacey Abrams has ever said. So I congratulate her on that.

That's great. She's going to keep running for what? We don't, we don't, we just know she's going to be running somewhere. We don't know treadmill. Is it? Well, oh, you think she might have meant she's going to keep running for office. Wow. I didn't even consider that after just such a dismal.

Devastating loss. Yeah. Wow. What about Beto? Do we have you heard from Beto yet? What's he up to next? Do we know? I don't.

Is it like a local dog catcher situation? Well, let's not aim too high. Let's not aim too high. He usually goes bigger. What about? President of the UN. Emperor. I like President of the UN.

I like that. Which is kind of like emperor, I think. Unfortunately so. So Biden was celebrating the election results yesterday as corporate America. started a few layoffs. The good thing is, you won't have the Republicans to blame for that. Wholesale used car prices have plummet. That's good news.

That's good news. Of course, you still can't get a new car. But those prices are... Absolutely can. It just takes a little over 14 months. Trust me. Okay. I have the experience to prove this.

Now, here's the good news. Biden said that America's rescue plan, the $1.9 trillion stimulus is really, it's about to really kick off now. And the administration is going to start going after the gig economy, which I think is, I think that's what I would do when you, because there are a lot of people that are looking for a second job. And what they want is something that ties them down to a specific time and, you know, is like, like 9 to 5 or, you know, 9 to 5 a.m., something like that. So they can have a quick little sleep in between, and they got to be there for the full eight hours every day.

I think that's what America wants, not this gig economy where, you know, you can go do things for a few hours, you know, work as a contract worker. That's not. Jeez, that's ridiculous. So the newly introduced rule from the Department of Labor using its rulemaking authority is going after independent contractors or gig workers. It is called the employee or independent contractor classification under Fair Labor Standards Act. I don't know if that spells anything and I don't care. It's going to rescind the 2021 rule that, uh,

provides companies such as ride-sharing applications with a relaxed framework to employ independent contractors without being forced to provide them benefits, full-time employees under the Fair Labor Act. So the new rule is modeled after California's rule. And this extends employee classification status to everybody. So it's a six-pronged test to companies to prove, that individuals are contractors and not employees as in California. And it's going to stop all those things like it did in California.

Thank goodness. You know, no more, you're a, wait a minute, you're a part-time music teacher, are you? Really? Oh, you're a part-time tutor? Uh-huh. Oh, you only do plumbing as a contractor or electrician as a contractor. Oh, you're a therapist. part time.

See what this does, and I think this is really important, because we have a lot of people that are currently unemployed, about to find a new job, and they're going to need to be kept busy because there's going to be 87,000 of them. And it'll give these 87,000 new employees a chance to go in because independent contractors pay a 15% self-employment tax.

But what? Why are they 15% self-employment tax? They should be paying the full boat, 29, 39. What the hell? 59%. And the, those 87,000, because not all of them are going to be, you know, tied up with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. There will be at least 87,000 of them that aren't doing that.

So they're going to be looking for jobs. And, you know, We got to get you gig workers to start paying more tax. Welcome to the country. Half the country voted for. Biden also is very, very worried in Elon Musk's Twitter deal. He has just said he has to look into it. It's worth looking into it as a possible national security threat because the Saudis have put some money into Twitter.

Now, forget about China and TikTok. there's nothing to see there. TikTok going by the Communism. Okay, nothing to see there. He's worried, though, that Elon Musk might be influenced and Twitter might be influenced by a foreign entity because Elon Musk is involved in some business dealings with Saudi Arabia. Now, don't point out that Joe Biden and his son have taken million.

TikTok, Elon Musk is a danger to national security and it's a good thing. The president and I hope our DOJ is involved in this. In the DOJ's, you know, department of civil bad guys that the president needs to look into department. Department. This is a bit of a problem. In related news, I'm curious this year. opinion and I do think there needs to be something done about this.

Some real thought put into this by conservatives generally. But you mentioned the gig economy. You know, this is something that Elon Musk has talked about too. See? Yeah. See, they're all tight. Inflience. Saudi influence.

The state of freaking Nebraska. Nebraska approved a $15 minimum wage. Yes. Every time any state puts a minimum wage. Uh-huh. Up to vote in a ballot referendum. They always win.

Yeah. Yeah. Now, of course, the media does everything they can to present this as just a win, win, win, win, win, win, win. Nothing ever bad happens after you raise these. Amen, brother. Finally, somebody's saying it. Then people pay the price for months and years to come. But if a state as red as Nebraska, which voted for Republicans throughout this election cycle,

If they can pass a $15 minimum wage there, they're going to try to do this everywhere. Now, of course, they know this, and they're going to do it, and they've done it in many blue states. But the fact that they can do it in red states, it passes pretty much everywhere it's attempted. We really probably need to come up with a way to communicate the actual cost of this

so that people understand it before they vote for it. Because we have not as conservatives, apparently done a good job communicating that to people because... No, stop, stop, stop. there's more to that sentence? I thought you'd just say conservatives have not done a good job. Period. Period.

And you know, this is, well, we always talk about like voter ID. Voter ID is one of the most popular most popular policies in our public discourse. About 80% of people support it. Now you see specific measures at times go down to defeat as we did see over this past election cycle. But generally speaking, it's a very popular thing.

The reverse is true with with minimum wage. It's really popular because people think, well, it's free money. You know, it's free money and, oh, I feel bad. I might make more than $15 an hour and I feel bad telling people who don't that they shouldn't be able to do that. I'm being mean if I vote no against it. But never associated with this is the actual cost about how those $15 an hour workers that you voted for them to give $15 an hour now get $0 an hour because they don't have jobs. And now they're dependent on the government, which shockingly also played. right into what Democrats want.

It's something we're going to have to work on because they're going to start dumping money into these measures and they're going to be everywhere. Yeah. I mean, that's, you know, that's good. No, I am worried about that. But Montana's Born Alive Infant Protection Act went down in flames. Which is pretty stunning.

I mean, yeah. I mean, you know, at least Republicans did a poor day. job explaining the effects. Okay. This one is clear. You can kill the baby after birth if you tried to kill the baby and it didn't work. And that passed. That passed.

So this is a bad one, by the way, in case it's hard to understand because there's so many double negatives involved. It's very complicated. But this would be bad. Bad. You would like babies that are born alive to remain alive. Yeah, because they're now. a separate person. Can I,

can I go off of this a little bit? No, well. I just need a second. Okay. If I may. I mean, we're already in crazy town. We're in crazy town. But look, this is very close to

the Roe versus Wade overturn, the Dobbs decision. We're a few months out. Yeah. You know, at some point, I think the, the passion for abortion begins to fade, and it's no longer as prominent an electoral issue. There are some evidence that in certain states, It did work for Democrats to talk about abortion constantly.

But let me just do a redux of what I said on January, or excuse me, June 25th, 2022. But it's redo. I know you don't. A redo. A redo. Let me do a reeduct. It's a redoubt. A riddle.

Yeah. Of what I said on January, or June 25th, 2022, the day after the Dobbs decision came out. If the price of the Dobbs decision is to lose the midterm elections, lose them, I am 100% on board with that trade. Me too. I would trade multiple midterm elections for the Roe versus Wade idea being overturned. And it may be that for a while, it is a real negative for elections for Republicans. And you know what?

The possibility of saving millions of babies' lives. I think it's pretty good. Might be worth that. Yeah. You know, I gotta say. Well, but not in Montana. You're not saying in Montana. In Montana, if those babies are born alive, you should slaughter them, of course, kill them.

And you know what happens? What happens if you put a ballot initiative up to protect babies' lives and it fails? You know what you do next time? You put another ballot initiative up to protect babies' lives. American financing. Navigating your finances is tricky work, especially with more assets. that you have.

He is an Arizona Republic opinion contributor. He has been watching these things very closely. And what's going on in Arizona, we're going to get the word from him in just a couple of minutes. So stand by for that. Glenn, you've run companies before. Yeah. You know corporate messaging can sometimes be difficult. Difficult, especially in today's world.

Yeah. Sometimes people may have a slight misstep. Okay. You know, and that's what we think has happened at KFC. They've had a slight misstep. A slight misstep. They had to apologize for one of the promotional messages. So I would normally say I'm against apologizing for slight misstep.

Right. Exactly. And this was, you know, you tell me what the scope of this misstep is, you know. I'm not a history. Will I even understand it or is it subtle? Okay, go ahead. This is the German KFC chain. They sent out the message saying, it's Memorial Day for Crystal Kacht. Treat yourself with more tender cheese.

on your crispy chicken. Now at KF. Cheese. Now. I'm not a German. Well, I inherit. So I don't know for sure. So the subtlety's there I might be missing. But I think celebrating anything about Kristallok might be a mistake.

It might be the greatest one. of all time. And I, you know, sending out a message celebrating the Memorial Crystal Night is really, really bad. Suggesting the way to celebrate that is with crispy,

cheesy chicken is actually much worse. And then you top it off with now at KF. Cheese. It's like, if I spent six months trying to craft a better message. I could not come up with one.

That is the crazy. Can you imagine the meeting that it had to be like some social media interns like anniversaries online and sees the anniversary of Crystal Knock doesn't know what it is. Are you kidding? That probably went through the whole board and they discussed it for days. They're German. They're German. Like it's a mistake.

promo code back. Carrie, welcome to the program. Hey, how are you, Glenn? I'm talking to you this morning. I'm good. I am trying to figure out if I can let myself be happy yet about your victory. I'm hearing. Let me help you be happy.

How's that? Okay, good. Do it. Do it. Well, first of all, you know, I think what we've learned in the past several election cycles is that our election officials can control the narrative. It's really easy. By the amount of votes they release, by the amount of results they release,

by the amount of results they release. And that's what we have going on here. Become politicized. And we are going to win. I'm 100% confident in that. I'm looking right now at the latest numbers I got. And there are 621, a little almost 622,000 votes left to be counted here in Arizona. And they're slow rolling to count.

24 hours, more than 24 hours past the election. Yesterday, they only counted just over 60,000 votes. How's that possible? This is outrageous. They're doing this intentionally, in my opinion. They're not speeding this up as they should. There are, and let me just tell you why we're going to win, 384,414 election day mail-in ballot drop-offs. Now, these are the people who don't trust bringing it down and putting it in one of those drop boxes.

These are the people who don't necessarily trust even the Postal Service with their mail-in ballot. They walked it into a polling place on Election Day. We already know those are going to trend heavily toward us. Two to one, maybe even three to one. And there's a huge majority left to be counted there. We also have 17,000 drawer three. Those are the ones who, when they showed up at their polling place on election day, oh, wow, the machines aren't working.

Just put your ballot over here in drawer number three. And we have a provisional ballot, 16,000. These are ballots, the vast majority that are to be counted, that are going to go heavily to us. us. And we know we're going to win this. They're trying to delay the inevitable, and they're really embarrassing Arizona once again on not just a national stage, but a global stage. They wanted to write the obituary of the America First Movement on election night, and the America First Movement is alive and well. They haven't taken anything away from this movement.

We are still strong, and we're still going to win and continue to fight for America First ideas. If you have those kinds of numbers still yet to come, and they do indeed fall like that, there's a good chance that we have a senator from Arizona as well. I do believe that these could push Blake over the top. I really do. I've talked to Blake yesterday. He's in pretty good spirits. You know, he's a little bit closer than I am. Mine will definitely fall, and I think we could end up with a very nice victory. His would be a little bit more of a squeaker, but I think they're going to go his direction. When you look at 384,000 votes that are people who dropped them off on election day, I mean, there's a chance we could get 80% or more

of those. If we want to be very conservative, we'll get, you know, two out of, maybe 50%. Yeah. More than 50%. And so the ballots that are left to be counted, and there's a lot of them, like I said, 622,000 ballots left to be counted. They're going to skew heavily in our favor. And I'm only down by a few thousand votes right now. So people understand the rest of the country, Arizona does it the reverse way that everybody else does. Everybody else counts the night and then they count the other ballots that are coming in. Arizona, for some reason, counts the pre-election night ballots.

and then counts the day, right? And then the day balance. Yep. Okay. And they dragged their feet in doing this. This is the same thing they did in the primary, Glenn. Why? What is their reasoning to do that?

Why do you think they would do that? Well, you're asking me to get into the head of a man named Stephen Ritcher and Bill Gates, who's on our board of supervisors. And frankly, that's not a place I want to be. Right. All I will say is they did the same thing. They slow rolled the results during the primary, took them days. When I finally got a tiny bit over where I was beating my opponent, they announced it right then and there.

So the headlines read, Carrie Lake wins in the squeaker with, you know, half a percentage point. Then they finished counting the rest of the ballots, which were all in my favor. I actually won the primary by five points. That's a nice win, especially when I was up against spending my opponent spending three to one on me. She spent $30 million. So they want the story. They want the narrative to look like there's no energy here. We have a massive movement.

We have energy that if you could somehow contain this energy, you could make the most powerful energy source in Arizona right now. None of that has changed. We're just waiting for incompetent people to do their job. And we're willing to wait. But I will tell you this, when I get into office, it'll be at the top of my list on day one. We're going to start to reform our election so we are not the butt of all jokes.

And our great, wonderful citizens aren't waiting for days to find out who won an election. It's inexcusable. Yeah. It's inexcusable and disrespectful. And disrespectable to the people of this great state. And we're not going to have it anymore. We're not going to have it anymore. Carrie, best of luck to you.

I think you've, I think you're over. hurdle if you know if you know it turns out the way it usually turns out in these situations for Republicans that they have a lot more of the share on the final final polls which I think is true I can't wait to see you in office and see what you're going to do there is there are three parties I think there is the Republican the Democrat and the DeSantis kind of style party and you are you are part of that Yep. Well, we're going to do big things for Arizona. I'm already working. I've got a transition team. We're working to do great things. I'm not going to slow down because Maricopa County can't get their act together. We are moving toward governing this state, and I'm not going to slow down because they can't count ballots. And they're dragging this out. Do you have a result at all on the attorney general?

Well, Abe, I think he just passed across and he actually announced that he's one. because he is now ahead. Okay, good. Good, good. Glad to hear that. You can't go in there without somebody who wants to sue you from day one. These are a big, big drop of ballots that have yet to be counted that are going to go our way.

And I want people out there to know that we will win this and we will do great things for Arizona. And they've, they've unfortunately taken a lot of people who are already pissed off, if I can say that word, and they've pissed us off even further. I know. So we are even more motivated to do big things and do them quickly. Yeah, good. Kerry, best of luck.

Thank you for stopping by. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. God bless. Carrie Lake, that is, that's good news. We also have somebody who is watching this very, very closely, somebody who I think you're

going to do an extensive interview with today, right? Yeah, I think we're going to. I guess we can ask him here in a minute. John Gabriel is with us. John, how are you? I am doing fantastic and are always up for an extensive interview. So you are a contributor to the Arizona Republic, your Rikoshae editor-in-chief, and you've been watching the ballot counting and the ballots in Arizona.

You're from Arizona, if I'm not mistaken. And so you know, is what Kerry just told us, is that accurate? Yeah, from what I heard, what she said, yes, it is accurate. This is, it's frustrating because it's just incompetence on the part of government officials. Something conservatives are very familiar with. We're used to them being incompetent. But as Kerry said at the end there, it's like people were ticked before. Now, we are far more so.

There is no excuse for them to take this long. Brazil had an election a couple weeks ago. Yeah. They counted the whole country in what, three hours? There's no excuse for this. Yeah, this is ridiculous. And it, you do believe that Kerry will, win? Definitely. Yeah. With the votes that are out and where they're coming from, I think

she's going to be in Abe, who I worked with before, great guy, he's going to be in, and the rest of the GOP ticket. The squeaker right now will be Blake Masters. Boy, it just looks like it's 50-50 in me, so we're hoping the whole team gets in. Holy cow. That would be, I mean, we would have, we'd have what we need then if we didn't, right? Exactly. Would we have, do in Congress? I mean, in the Senate? Hang on just a second. Hang on just a second, John. In the Senate, we would still need more than that, right? You'd need two of the three outstanding races. You need Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. So Georgia, obviously, we know is going to a runoff. So if you could pick off Nevada and Arizona, though, you get to 51. You can get to 52 with Georgia

after that. But if Arizona, if Arizona comes through, you're in a pretty good position there, because Nevada still, I think, is another one that looks to be around 50-50. Yeah, but it looks, I think it's stronger looking than Arizona. Yeah, I think if you get Arizona, I would, if I had to put these in order of most likely, the last one, my lowest hope would be Arizona probably. I mean, am I being too pessimistic on this, John? I don't think so, because I think Laxold is going to get this thing. There are obviously, Nevada's our next door neighbor.

I think he is going to be in. It's just so tough to tell right now on Blake Masters, and I really hope he just surged in the past couple weeks. He is just great on the stump, a great guy and honest guy. And boy, if we could get Laxold and Masters and hopefully get Georgia to turn our way in a month, that would just be a fantastic group of people who would be listening to the voters for a change. So, John, the motivation for the, the, really the secretary of state who is running.

What is the motivation to slow drip these things out and make it look like this? Yeah, it's completely maddening. All she is doing is burnishing her incredibility, is that a word, at running basic elections. This is a woman who did not show up to her job. She showed up, what, 19 times in the past year or so. What? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

This election gets more and more bizarre. She didn't show up for any debates, and she only showed up for work 19 times in the last year? She needs some self-care time, Glenn. You know, it's a tough world out there. The rest of us have to show up to our jobs. But, yeah, Katie Hobbs, she got to the office if memory serves 19 times in the past year. You know, COVID, I guess that's excuse. I don't know.

This is not someone who is eager to do her job. I would be fired so fast. I mean, the network would just go, uh, bye. No, no, come on. I showed up 19 times this year. Oh, my gosh. Oh, only in politics. Only in politics.

I was only showing up 17 times a year a few. The year before. I want to raise. At this pace in multiple decades, I'll be like, Pretty familiar foot pace around this place. I'll need an office and a phone. Wow. Okay. So that's good news. When are they estimating? Because I heard Saturday.

I think we should know before Saturday. I'm hoping at least, look at me being optimistic with Maricopa County vote counters. That's a little crazy on my part. but there's going to be big dumps coming. Well, that sounds rude. There's going to be big voting pools that are going to be coming in like 6 p.m. local time, so that's mountain time. That's when they usually come in. You'll have a few boats popping in from the smaller counties around the state.

But Maricopa is, of course, the big prize, and it is trending big-time GOP. So we're hoping the next night or two to have some big changes and big numbers to announce for Republicans. Can I ask, the way they count the votes there, is it kind of like, do you remember, I don't know, if you've ever been to like a party and somebody puts like an orange under their neck and then you have to pass it to the other person and then they have to pass it to a lot? Is it kind of like that in Maricopa County? Is that how they're counting the boats? Because this seems a little slow. I think that would be an improvement. I think, yeah, they're talking about with a little lottery.

all numbers. Um, yeah, just utterly incompetent because as you say, they were laughing stock, you know, in 2020. And now they just sat around and showed up to work 19 days. And they were like, hey, why aren't the machines working? Basic competence, people. That's all we ask. I got to tell you, it was, it was, uh, West Palm, wasn't it in 2000?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was West Palm. They got it right. They, in their four year territory, you know, time, they fixed it. They fixed it. It's incredible to me that this is still going on in Maricopa County. You're becoming the laughing stock.

Except nobody's really laughing. You don't really laugh with a pitchfork and a torch in your hand, you know, generally speaking. Yeah, it's getting angry out here. All right, good. Thank you so much. God bless. Thank you.

Both. You bet. You've got to do something about this when this stuff happens, right? They spent two years not doing anything in Pennsylvania. as well to get that reformed in, you know, Nevada seems terrible as well at this. You got to take these steps. And I bet you that they will. Carrie Lake will.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I bet you that we won't hear about it until Saturday. I bet you because nobody's paying attention. And then it just kind of happened on Saturday. And she's right. You know, why would you do that? Well, to take the wind out of the sales. If she would have, if they would have counted it that night and it would have been three, four points.

and Masters won, or was even close, the narrative over the last three days would have been dramatically different.

There's a, you know, there's a few things that we should address pretty quickly. Because these things happen. We're all talking about them and then they go away and we don't fix them. This is what happened with these accounting procedures. Can I suggest another one here? Yeah, sure. We should all think about.

back in 2020 there was a controversial proposal that I do not believe was accurate but that the idea that the vice president of the United States could approve or disapprove votes as they came in from the states as the presidential election was

being was being convened there on January 6th and everyone remembers this of course because Mike Pence decided not to do it and there's the big controversy forget all of that forget all of it for a second if you think the Democrats are above using every quote from Donald Trump

to justify Kamala Harris doing all sorts of crap when that vote comes in and it's close you're kidding yourself we should take steps to make sure it is crystal clear that the vice president of the United States cannot just decide all of our elections for us Well, I would agree with you on that, but I think that's why Mitt Romney is such a joke,

because he said that, you know, Mike Lee was, you know, given that credibility. No, Mike was calling all of the states and going, are you doing this? This doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem right. It's not constitutional. And that's all true. Right. But like, there are a bunch of people who believe it.

And I think it would be good to make sure we are on record knowing that the founders did not think that the vice, the sitting vice. Vice President should be able to tell his opponent he didn't win. Obviously, I think that's true. But now that we're at the point where the person doing that would be Kamala Harris, can we all agree, let's make sure that is not going to happen in 2020. I hope we're not playing this in 2025 going, we should have done it. Stu was right. We really should have taken a step.

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I think, look, there's a lot of the stuff that happens. And I think to John's point about freaking Brazil, there's no excuse for this. There's no excuse. The votes should all be there by Election Day. They should be counted quickly. Florida, a diverse state, was a purple state for a long time. Apparently, Ronda Sanders has now made it Alabama.

It's my brightest red state in the union. But whatever, the bottom line is Florida can handle it. They had a problem. Took them a while. They fixed it. Let's do the same in these other states. Someday, Stu, we'll have self-driving cars, too. Someday we'll have our own toaster ovens in our house.

That doesn't sound all that futuristic. Someday we'll have refrigeration. The Glenn Beck program. Hi, I'm Glenn Beck. I'm that crazy guy you're always here on the radio hollering about how you need to buy gold before the end of the world comes or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.

You'll be able to get it this afternoon. It's the Glenn Beck podcast. And then over the weekend on Saturday, you'll be able to get it wherever you get your podcasts.

It's going to be fascinating. They have done everything they can to get him out of power, including holding weekly elections. Wait, wait, are you sure you meant that? Let's try again. Yeah. It is crazy. It's crazy. All right.

Let me take you back to Montana here for a minute. And I might, I might suggest that it's not exactly Yellowstone, unless there's babies that are being thrown over the cliff. Taking this baby to the train station. Anyway, they have agreed now to amend the state constitution. This is a good thing. To explicitly include all electronic data and communicate. in the provision protecting residents from unreasonable search and seizure. That passed with 82%.

That's really good. So in other words, the FBI, the government just can't go and grab your stuff. They need to have a warrant for it. That's a great step. Now, I got to go back to the outcome of LR 131. What happened here? Let me just read the article to you and then we're going to look at it. Montana's only ballot initiative that explicitly mentions abortion is not real clear, having created confusion among voters and debate between supporters and critics in the month leading up to the election.

Now, let me read this ballot initiative and see how unclear it is to you. Legislative referendum number 131, an act adopting the Born Alive Alive Infantant Infant Protection Act. Born alive infant protection act. Now, unless this is like the Inflation Reduction Act, where it actually means the opposite. Right. The Born Alive Infant Protection Act, providing that infants born alive, including infants born alive after an abortion, are legal persons requiring health care providers to take necessary actions to preserve the life of a born alive infant. providing a penalty, providing that the proposed act be submitted to the qualified electors of Montana and providing an effective date. Born alive infant means an infant who breathes, has a beating heart, or has definite movement of voluntary muscles after the complete expulsion or extraction from the mother.

Now, that didn't pass. And they said it was confusing. and I don't understand how that was confusing. I guess it's a little legalese at times, but like I don't think the date part of it was really that vital. The born alive thing indicates perhaps the baby is born and also alive. That seems like maybe we should protect that baby. Right. That's not an abortion.

Right. The concept they're protecting against, of course, is things we've heard, we've heard the governor of Virginia, the previous governor of Virginia talk about this, where, you know, it's up to the mother, whether it gets any life saving care after sitting on the table moving around. No, no, pushing them in like they did in Chicago for a while, pushing the babies into a closet and letting them cry and die. Not a good idea. No. Not a good idea. We saw that famously in Philadelphia as well with thousands of babies they put. believe this occurred to.

Yeah. Even though we are told by the New York Times that it does not exist. This has never happened, even though we have documentation of it happening thousands of times. But the point is, it's something that should be obvious. Like I had this weird idea that the average, let's say Democrat, does not want a baby to be born, to be sitting on a table and then to slowly dehydrate, I guess, to death or starve to death or just die on a table. Like, I don't think the average

Democrat supports infanticide. I just think that they think abortion, they have some weird line on abortion that it's not infanticide, which I don't really understand. But once they're born, I feel like I have enough faith in this

in this country to believe that people. Okay, wait. So that means they misunderstood somehow or another. Right. Like, maybe they see it as a code, like it's a code language for some, you know, strict abortion law. Code language? Yeah, like, you know, like the person's giving personhood to babies, infants and fetuses.

Okay, so you think the people in Montana sat there in the voting booth who went, I don't know, the personhood thing. What do they mean by that? I mean, that could be code language. So the people, so the same people that closed the curtain behind them that, you know, voted for Federman or the, literal six-month dead guy by 80% those people were

stopping and thinking well I don't know I mean it's a philosophical question about personhood really what evidence do you have to have trust in the American voter you make a compelling argument I know I didn't I just I asked you a question

I asked you a question that wasn't a a compelling argument. That was just a question. Well, I answered it myself and it became a compelling argument. I mean, I guess those people technically were in Pennsylvania, not Montana. I'd like to have a little more faith in the people of Montana, but apparently, apparently not, because this one should be obvious, right? Once the baby is born, you should probably not just let it die on a table. Well, they say that it's already against the law to have infanticide. So it's redundant, essentially is somewhat the argument from the left. But like, I don't know.

When it comes to little baby's lives, I don't think a little redundancy can hurt. Yeah. No, I don't think so either. Yeah. Montana, being a red state is not the most pro-life red state. You know, there's a, no, I, you know the West better than I do. But, I mean, that is, polling shows at least that it's a little more pro-choice than your average red state.

But still, this does not make any sense. Here's what I'd like to point out to Montana. Okay, you know who the big money was that was against this? The Montana Medical Association. The Montana Hospital Association. The Montana Nurses Association. The American Academy of Pediatrics. Let me just tell you.

People who get sued when one of these things happened. Yeah. Yeah. So let me just say, I understand the lawsuit thing. But this is really pretty darn clear. and if all of your doctors and nurses are like, yeah, let the baby die on the table. I don't know if I want them treating me or grandma, you know, or my children.

They came in with a cold. Yeah, yeah. Sounds like a good case for medical tourism. Like, you know, hey, we're going to Disney World and we're going to the hospital in Florida. All right, back in a minute. Joseph wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens. This is my beagle is 17 years old. He was sleeping 20 hours a day.

I thought he's over soon, unfortunately. I tried rough greens, and I am amazed. He's wagging his tail again. I know he's happier. His food and rough greens gone every day. He's eating so well, and he's more active. I appreciate getting my buddy back again. Thank you, Rough Greens.

I have to tell you, Joseph, it is so hard when you start to when your dog start to age out. It is so hard to watch them. And Rough Greens, I think is, now there's nothing that I can say to prove this, but I think, and so does my wife and family, that Rough Greens extended his life and extended it in the good way,

not just had him live longer. Uno is really an active dog again, where that wasn't happening. Rough Greens, so confident your dog's going to love it. They have a special deal for you. Roughgreens.com, you go there. Slashback. Make sure you add the slashback.

But is it too early to start talking about Rick Scott replacing Mitch McConnell? I mean, arguably it's a little early just because we don't know who's going to control the Senate yet. I will take him as a minority leader, a leader. Well, hey, I mean, it's certainly not too early to think about it. I doubt the campaign starts in earnest, if there is one. She does see, I mean, you don't seem to be the only person saying this. I believe Donald Trump also sort of mentioned this. There's a few people that are mentioning it.

Because here's what, here's what Turtle Face does. Mitch McConnell, yes. Yeah, whatever. He always comes in. How come I can remember Turtleface? But I can't remember Mitch McConnell. There are names that are tough to remember. But Mitch McConnell is.

I know. Forever. Forever. You always do that. I don't know. Turtle face. Yeah. I don't know.

I mean, he does look like a human turtle. I think I have a block on some people. I'm just like, some people in his name, I just can't remember because that's just the way I am. Other people. And I think Turtleface is one of them. I've blocked it. Okay.

Anyway, there's something, you know, maybe it's the spirit moving in me that says, Don't say his name. It's poison. The spirit is telling you to come up with a nasty nickname for him. Well, good point. Good point. You make a strong case. I will say, I didn't make a case.

I do think that, by the way, Turtle Face is not actually a nasty nickname. It just describes him. So on the other hand. Right. Okay. So anyway, what Turtle Face does is he always, when everybody comes back from election,

before they can catch their breath, He's like, let's have a vote, you know, and see you. And nobody is, nobody's prepared. What does he do? I don't know. Let's try to dismantle our republic a little bit more.

You don't almost get you your old Joe Lieberman in impersonation to describe McConnell. That is kind of his vibe. He is not electric as a speaker. But you're saying he initiates all of these processes immediately. after the election when everyone's trying to recover and figure out what's going on. Right. And nobody has a time to internally campaign. And nobody internally campaigns before the election because it drives people apart. And they want to stay united. And he knows this. And he is so powerful. And because he holds the purse strings, nobody wants to go up against him. Nobody wants to say a word.

And, you know, if you're going to kill the king, you better make sure he's dead before you say. anything, you know what I mean? Yeah. And they just, they don't know if anybody can take him out. And McConnell, for all of his, he has some positives, a lot of negatives, but one of the, one of the things you can definitely say about him is he is a master technician at this. He knows what he's doing in these behind the scenes battles. And he is very vindictive, very vindictive. Sure, he likes you quite a bit. Yeah, he loves me. And I wear it as a badge of honor. Anyway, Looking at Rick Scott, did you see his 26 things that we should do right away if the Senate has control? This came out a little while ago.

Yeah, I love this. Department of Education. Education is a state function. Close the Department of Education. Amen. Government may never ask you to disclose your race, ethnicity, or skin color on any government form. The U.S. military would engage in zero diversity training or, or any woke ideological indoctrination that divides our troops.

If a college or university uses affirmative action in admissions, it would be ineligible for all federal funding and lose their tax-exempt status. By the way, I think they should lose it anyway. At least the big Ivy leagues that have billions of dollars in trust funds. Strict mandatory minimum sentences would be required in every case where a police officer is seriously injured. any attempt to deny our Second Amendment freedoms strongly opposed. Now, it should be stopped. The wall along the southern border would be completed and named after President Donald Trump.

Immigrants to the U.S. would not be able to collect unemployment benefits or welfare until they have lived in the country for seven years. And are legal. Okay, this is. This says immigrants. It doesn't say illegal immigrants. So-called sanctuary cities would be stripped of all federal funding. it. The federal budget would be balanced and if not, members of Congress would not be paid. All Americans would pay some income tax to have skin in the game. At present, roughly half of

Americans do not pay tax as their taxable income does not meet minimum threshold. Federal debt ceiling increases would be prohibited and less accompanied by a declaration of war. All federal elected officials as well as all federal workers would be subject to a 12-year term. All federal legislation would have a sunset provision five years after it passes. That's fantastic. Funding for the IRS is all of its workforce would be cut by 50%. Politicians would be banned from becoming lobbyist when they leave office. Voter ID, the law of the land. I don't know about you, but I say Rick Scott for majority or minority leader. of the Senate.
