We have a great podcast, mainly because who nor I had any sleep last night at all. So it gets a little dicey. It's pretty, pretty, pretty dicey. But just remember, take it from me after you hear the podcast V for Victory. It's an important message in today's show. We have Laura Trump. We have Chip Roy on.

We have Daniel Horowitz going over the entire election. We also have all the meltdowns that people had. I mean, people really, I mean, we were blessed last night. We did not get the judgment we deserve. We got the mercy we don't deserve. And we talk about that a little bit. We need to be grateful for some of the great and amazing things that happened yesterday. I think we witnessed a miracle yesterday.

And so far, our cities are not burning down to the ground. Amen, brother. Here is the best of today's podcast in 60 seconds. The whole idea of being prepared for whatever comes at us, you know...

It's a good thing. You need to actually think of these things and then you'll be prepared and you won't have to worry about it. I mean, I should probably spend some time telling you today what I'm worried about on what's coming in the next few weeks.

I'm not concerned about our immediate safety or anything else, but I am concerned about some things that you should prepare for just in case. One of the things that could happen and could happen quickly is there could be a disruption of our supply lines. 80% of the medication that we get and that you take that's generic all comes from China. Can you imagine getting rid of 80% of generic medication? How critical that would be?

You need to make sure that you have some critical things. You know, imagine dying because you don't have antibiotics. That could happen in America. That's nuts.

The best of the Glenn Beck program. So none of us had any sleep last night. And so you'll have to excuse us. It's a little, we're a little delirious. And my apologies, and this is sincere, my apologies for not starting the program with thank you, Lord.

Thank you to the Almighty for giving us not what we deserve, but giving us mercy, which we do not deserve. We witnessed a miracle last night with everything that was going against us, everything that... I mean, this shouldn't have happened last night. I mean, I'm glad it did, but they have spent...

Half a billion dollars just on abortion. Half a billion dollars on the abortion message. Yes. The direction of our country is completely in the wrong direction. And enough people woke up. Enough people saw that and stood up.

And were willing to be called Nazis and everything else. And they just didn't care. And I think that was a miracle. And God was gracious yesterday. He is not done with America, apparently. He's just not done. So thank you, Lord. Thank you. Agree with that wholeheartedly.

Wholeheartedly. Pat, hi. Yeah, hi. Welcome. Thank you. Good to be here. I also just have one other little message, if I may. And it goes a little something like... Hey!

Okay. All right. So just that. That's another little aspect of this. That is just really, really wrong. Especially if you did it again. Again? No, don't do it again. No, I shouldn't do this again. Don't do it. Don't do it. Oh, my. You've got no class. That's why you're drunk. Just kick your ass. Take with you.

Okay, so you know what the problem is? Is that sounded a bit gloaty. We don't want to do that. We want to be gracious winners. I could sense it. We're in. We're towards the end. You don't want to gloat. Right. Because if you did it a third time, it would be probably misconstrued as gloating! You've got no class, that's why the drop just kicked your ass. Take with you Tampa, Jimmy Walsh, the

Wow. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. I was going to say, that is a beautiful voice that you have. I mean, that is. Oh, you know what? Pat, if I may? Yeah, you may. If I may. And you may. I...

Love that Tim Walls gets a mention in that. Oh my gosh, yes. I love that we're never going to have to see him ever again. Let Minnesota deal with it. I don't want to. Good luck, Minnesota. Can I tell you something? It was almost a perfect night

when we thought for a second they may lose Minnesota. Oh, man. It was like, oh, my gosh. They won Minnesota by four points. Wow.

Four. Four. Wow. That's it. That was, I mean, he almost got Minnesota. He almost got New Jersey, too. Are you projecting 312? That's what we've got to count at. Eventually, it'll be 312. I think that's right. To 226. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't say... That's a big win. Yeah. And he's up by, what, 5 million in the popular vote? Thank heaven. That's going to shrink a lot. That's going to come down. Yeah, but...

Do you think he's not going to win the popular vote? Shut up! He's going to win it, right? Gosh, I mean, I think so. I think so. Please say it's so. Stu's about to call...

Georgia. He's about to call Georgia. What are you talking about? You should have really called the election correctly. There are so far Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada along with Alaska, which some places still haven't called insanely. Well, that's ridiculous. Assuming he sweeps all four of those states, he gets a 312.

So, you know, I think there's still a possibility that he could lose one of them, but I do not expect it. I do not expect that. Even CNN, though, has him at 276. So it's over. Look, it's over. And we kind of... The celebration and the anger and Glenn's 14 seconds of...

calm, coherent thinking. All of that came behind us before we really gave a full update on this. I mean, Georgia, I mean, if you look at the swing states, North Carolina, Donald Trump by three, Georgia, Donald Trump by two, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump by three, Michigan, Donald Trump by two, Wisconsin, Donald Trump by one,

Arizona, 63% of the vote in, Donald Trump by five. Nevada, 86% of the vote in, Donald Trump by four. So he would swing if he hit, he would get all seven of the states. So, so, so Stu, you would say then that,

The polls were actually pretty accurate. Yeah, I think they were pretty good. Now, everyone's going to remember one poll, which is the Selzer poll in Iowa, which missed by about 16 million points. What an embarrassment. What an embarrassment. It was literally 17 and a half points or something. 17 and a half points she missed by. That's really bad. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. She did what we were saying none of the others did, and that is...

the outliers. We're way, way out. That is part of polling, if you want to be honest. Now, that's what Stu has just said. Pat, how would you respond to this? What do you think? To the actual outcome of the election, you mean? Yeah. Something like, I come along, you've got no class, that's why Donald Trump just kicked your ass. Take with you damn, boy, damn it.

And who has no balls? Maybe something like that. Something like that. That would be wrong, of course, if you did that. Of course. Especially four times you can't. You just can't. And you still can speak, which is crazy. Incredible. He's got like iron or U.S. steel vocal cords. We haven't done a gloat fest.

I think since maybe John Kerry. I bet it's, I mean, there's been no reason to. I think we did them in the Tea Party wave election of 2010. I believe a Globe Festival mix in there. It might have been one in 2014 even, which was a pretty good year for Republicans. Yeah, maybe.

But that's probably the last time. It's been a while. Yeah. It's been a while. It's been a while. And gosh, it doesn't feel good, does it? Not at all. I mean, I'm sure the calls haven't come in yet, but I'm expecting the calls to come in and just say, hey, stop gloating. Stop rubbing it in their face. And you're right. You're right. So do you guys think that the Democrats will take a smart lesson from this and realize maybe they've overstepped their...

Maybe they outran their coverage a little – kicked their coverage a little bit when they decided to say, hey, maybe all boys can play girls' sports and we should be, let's say, taking money from taxpayers and using it to fund transitions of criminals in prison. Nope.

Do you think maybe they'll learn the lesson there? Or do you think it's going to be... And what if they thought, hey, I wonder if next time we should nominate someone who's gotten at least one vote from Democrats. Lessons. Yeah. Wow, that's a good one, Pat. We should write a little book for them so they can learn some lessons. Like maybe run a candidate that wins votes. Right. I predict a historic...

Movement of reflection on the media's part today. Oh, yeah. And that would be... Really? Yeah. I mean, it's historic because you get your butt kicked this badly, you destroy your credibility this much, and I can guarantee you there won't be any...

self-reflection at all i think so i i disagree with that i actually think that that's true i think there will be a reflection from the media and they will decide if they had only called him hitler one more time yeah they would have won if they could have just come up with one or enough yeah if they just would have said fascist a few more times they just left a few on the field

I told you, I told you we should have gone with Pol Pot. Nobody's afraid of Hitler anymore. And Pennsylvania will be the killing fields. Yeah, I think they needed maybe three more Handmaid's Tale references. If they had just come up with a couple more of those, if they had just shown up in the red robes and the white hats one more time, this could have gone everywhere.

What if they brought up abortion another couple times? What if they did that? That would have been a good idea. Maybe they could have tried something else. Maybe they could have got another one of their donors to try to kill the president again. Maybe that would have been something they could have tried. Oh, wait, they did try it again. It happened twice. Unbelievable. It is unbelievable. And, you know, I think...

Well, I know we would have been on the air today saying, okay, so what do we do? What did we do wrong? How are we not connecting? We would have been crying in our soup, you know, assuming we could afford soup. But we would have been really depressed today. But there would be self-reflection and there would be like, okay, what did we do wrong? How is this message not connected?

getting heard. And what are we doing that is making people not come to this message? Yeah. They're not going to spend any of that time. None of that. We would have just said, you know, it's because that other side are so hateful and they don't understand. Like, that's what they're going to do. They're going to say everybody's a racist and sexist. And they'll break out Russian interference or something. I mean, they're going to make some kind of excuse for this. Oh.

Oh, yeah. They already are gay. You missed this earlier. They already are. I flipped on Morning Joe. The whole thing. All they're doing is coming up with excuses. It's in real time. Just complaining. And it's every single thing you'd think it would be. Wow. There's no reflection. No moment of sanity. I just have to play. Cut one, please. Cut one. MSNBC.

Kids watching for the first time election results, they should know that we never had bomb threats before Donald Trump became a presidential candidate. What are you talking about? Absolutely. The weather underground was blowing up stuff all over the place. Gosh. They didn't threaten. They actually exploded the bombs. Right. So that's the difference.

Wow. And another super, super favorite, this one from CNN cut to Donald Trump has been running for two years. Kamala Harris has been running for one hundred and seventy one hundred and seven days. So one of my big questions is particularly with her candidacy is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country. She's the vice president.

dead set on running uh voting for a democrat wasn't so sure about him it's unreal or whether she could have used a little bit more time yeah that's it a couple more last thing hang on one last thing i want to play uh and that is uh what's coming they're on to us guys they're on to us they know um and here they are ratting us out what our plans are cut six

If historians in the future are allowed to write books, and by the way, that question is open this morning. And if people are allowed to go on television and say what they think in the future, which again, that question is open this morning. In the future, historians are going to look back on this day and say, this is the day that America made a choice between freedom and democracy on one side,

And authoritarianism and dictatorship. Yes. Hey, Michael. And we voted for freedom. Democracy and the republic. So congratulations, America. And Pat, I don't want to hear that song anymore. Not a single note. No more. Which song? I'm just reflecting on. You've got no class. That's why Donald Trump just kicked your ass. Get it with you, damn, or anyone.

All right. Okay. Stop it right now. No more of that. All right. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. One of the things I love best about Patriot Mobile is they let you know right up front who they are. Okay. If you're with Verizon, you might be unaware that they donate a lot of money to Planned Parenthood. When you're with Patriot Mobile, they tell you up front, we don't do that.

We are a Christian conservative mobile phone company, and we believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And some of the profit that we make, we dedicate to those causes locally so we can change things at the local level.

All you have to do is go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck. This is the lowest form of entry into fighting for your country. Just stand with people who are standing with you. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck or call 972-PATRIOT. 972-PATRIOT. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Do it now. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck. Now back to the podcast. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.

Laura Trump is joining us now. She is the co-chair for the RNC. And Laura, I mean this sincerely. Last night is the first time I believe in my entire life where somebody would call in or somebody would say something. You know, there's a problem in this, you know, this area with the polling place. And I had total confidence that

In saying to anybody I talked to that had that, call your local RNC right now. They are on it. Alert them if they're not on it, but they're probably already in court about it. Thank you. Thank you for running this thing the way it should be run every time.

Wow. Well, that's so nice, Glenn. Thank you. I appreciate that. And listen, it was really important to me and to our chairman, Michael Watley, when we took things over in March, that this was our number one focus. I think you came out of 2020 with so many people having a lot of concerns.

people not trusting our electoral process and what does that lend itself to? It means so many people wouldn't have turned out to vote if they didn't trust this process. It really is foundational to who we are as Americans that we trust this. And so we wanted to reestablish that trust and I'm glad people felt good about it. I'm glad our system works. We had 500 attorneys in every battleground state on

the ready. We trained and put in place 230,000 poll watchers and poll workers all across this country. And it's because people care and people want to know that in the United States of America, when you cast a ballot, it matters and it counts. And we really did try our best to identify issues before they became issues, tackle them. And then we wanted to communicate with the country.

So you constantly saw that I was tweeting. Chairman Michael Motley was doing the same thing. We were trying to make sure we communicated. We're on it. We've got it. And let us know anything you see. So thank you. I give full credit to our election integrity team. They did an amazing job.

Well, you and your team deserve credit, and I don't think I'm alone in this. The RNC screws everything up. I don't know how they make it to work every day with their shoes tied and gas in their car usually.

I know I'm not alone in the confidence that I had this time around, and I thank you for that. If we would have had – you know, when I saw the bomb threats happening in DeKalb County last night, I thought, oh, boy, here we go. And you guys were on it. It was settled quickly. You know, I'm assuming that this was –

you know, Russia or just somebody just, you know, trying to screw with our elections, but it didn't screw them up. And it was nice to have that confidence. If we didn't have that confidence, I think America would be in a very different place today.

Yeah. And that was, again, that was really important. We made two goals for ourselves whenever we took over as chair and co-chair at the RNC. And we said we need to get out the vote and we need to protect the ballot. And we know that Donald Trump inspires people like no other candidate in history to get out the vote. But we had to protect the ballot. And, you know, whether it's, you know, identifying that.

these machines should never be connected to the internet or training our team as to how you act in a moment when there is a question about anything. I think our system worked and it's a shame, Glenn, that we have to have a huge election integrity operation in America, but obviously we do. And we did this time around. And I think the beauty of what happened this election is that

People really thought that we probably do need sweeping changes to how we vote in this country. The long, you know, it's really it's an election season, as Donald Trump always says. And there are safeguards we could put in place, you know, if we get a bill passed through Congress and and.

47th president Donald J. Trump signed it into law that I think could make things more secure going forward. But we had to get through this when we had to play the hand that we were dealt. And again, just really, really proud of our entire team.

How do you do that federally when it's the states that have to decide? I mean, honestly, I think everybody should install the Florida system. Theirs was so screwed up. And I think they could have counted every vote in America before Arizona finishes in two weeks. They could have done it last night. How do you do that and get involved in the states' elections?

of running elections. You're right. Yeah, no, it is. It is obviously up to the state legislatures to determine in each state how, you know, how voting takes place. But I think that there's probably some faith and I don't know, I'm not an expert on this, but people constantly want this. They want safeguards. They want to know that we have voter ID across the country.

They want to know that you're verifying signature requirements. I can tell you when Eric and I went to vote in Florida, they were very strict. They took my ID. They made me sign on a little pad there so that they could verify that my signature matched.

Yeah, and it made me feel good and confident as a voter that they were doing those things. But you see where you have places like California, for example, where they literally don't even want you to take out an ID. They say, please don't even bring it in. It's like poison to them, these IDs. There's got to be some way that we are...

all can come together and say these are a few safeguards that would be great to have in place in every state and maybe maybe it's only applicable to these federal elections i don't really know but i know that i constantly heard it out there on the campaign trail people time and time again want these in place it's it's like a 90 percent uh you know win rate that on an issue whenever you say should people be voting with ids everybody says yes everybody wants that you want confidence

You know, I have to tell you, I walk into my voting station every time I vote. And, you know, people know me. They either, you know, I'm either like a vampire to them because they disagree with me politically, you know, or they know who I am. And I love it. I love the fact that they'll come in. I'll walk up to the table. They go, Mr. Beck, good to see you again. Can I see your I.D.?

Yes, exactly. I mean, that is good. That's great. So, Laura, help me out on, you know, we have another big election going on. And I don't know if the GOP is going to get involved in this, but I hope your father-in-law does. We have the possibility of replacing a worthless minority leader with a

Another worthless Senate minority leader or now majority leader. And we have got to have somebody who's not playing the GOP game holding that money for one and not holding it against people and saying, hey, I'm not going to give you any money for your reelection unless you play ball with me. We need somebody who is on the team that

What are you seeing and forecasting for the Senate leadership? Well, I think the American people sent a mandate last night. And I think when you look at the folks who were elected, obviously Donald Trump at the top of the ticket, and not just, he just wasn't elected, Glenn, winning the popular vote, really winning in a historic way, in a true landslide fashion. And then you look at some of the candidates for

for Senate and in some of these down ballot races, you know, the American people want fighters. They want Donald Trump type fighters, you know, working for them in the United States Senate, in the House of Representatives. And I think that should be reflected in a majority leader. So I can tell you, you know, Donald Trump doesn't mind putting his his thumb on the scale whenever he thinks it's going to be important. I would imagine he probably has some thoughts about this. And

He will likely make those notes. So, yeah, I think it's important that the will of the people is reflected, and it certainly should be in a majority leader. So what is the plan? I mean, he's got so much to do. And, you know, the opposition, they're not just going to go away. I mean, I think they're going to try to put him in jail. That's the first thing.

When somebody threatens my life, my family, or the things that I believe in, I always take them literally and seriously because you're an idiot if you don't. Raskin and others are saying they're not going to certify the vote on January 6th. What is the GOP doing to try to navigate through some of these waters?

And then it's the irony of it all, Glenn, right? They're telling us this now when it was such an overwhelming, obvious win for Donald Trump. And by all accounts, look, whatever we can legally do from our end at the RNC, we will absolutely do.

anyone who is suggesting that they are not going to certify this election, you are, again, you're going against the will of the people that talk about a threat to democracy as they constantly claim on the left that Donald Trump has been the, you know, it's outrageous. I hope that those are just scare tactics. I hope that that's just a lot of talk. Oh, we lost you. What did you say? Oh, can you hear me? Am I back? Yeah, I can hear you now. Go ahead.

Yeah, no, I just I hope that these are these are games and they come to their senses and realize how how important this is. This is far bigger than than politics. This is about our country. And you can't just throw things haphazardly around like that. So I would suggest that they they they stop playing games and they really start to think about the future of America. And we're we're on the cusp of, as Donald Trump said last night, America's golden age. I really believe it.

I believe Donald Trump will ultimately go down in history as America's great unifier, despite all the hate that gets thrown his way, despite what they've tried to do to this man. And he says success will bring us together. And I believe that's what's going to happen in the next four years. Were you in the room with him when he knew and realized he won?

Yeah. Yeah. We were all together. You know, we went over to the convention center just before it was officially, officially called. It looked like it was trending that way. And then we were all sort of backstage there when the official announcement was made that, you know, it had been called, at least by Fox News, that he would be the 47th president. And, you know, I think every

Everybody cheered. He was very, he was actually very humble in that moment. And I think about, I know this man as a grandfather to my kids, my father-in-law. I've known him for 16 years. I've seen the hell that he's gone through. I've seen his resolve and his courage in the face of unimaginable odds and headwinds. And it was such an important moment, I think, for him.

I don't I don't even know if vindication is the right word, but he deserves it more than any person out there. He has worked harder and he has done more and had more adverse in coming his way than any other candidate in history ever has. And probably I hope ever will. So obviously it was it was truly incredible to be there in that moment.

I think he's changed. I mean, I don't obviously know him that well, but I've known him enough to see what I think has been a profound change. He is, you know, I think since the assassination, he's become a real iconic and strangely positive visionary. Somebody who just, there's no mistaking him

That he is that he is serving something bigger than himself. You know, everybody has said, you know, Donald Trump's just doing it, whatever. You don't do what he did. And you you don't I don't know what it is. Just he has changed, I think, dramatically in a very deep and profound way. Would you agree with that?

I agree with you 100%. And I think you're right. I think it really all kind of changed on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania. And he will be the first person to tell you that he believes God spared his life that day. And I don't think you go through a moment like that, really honestly realizing how close you were to death.

without it changing you in a very profoundly. And I think he is different. And I will continue to believe, as I think a lot of Americans believe, that he was saved so that he could save this country. I think he said it in his speech last night. I believe that. I believe that he is, to your point, serving a higher purpose and a bigger purpose. And I just, you know,

I think he's changed, and I think that's why I feel so positive about the idea that he really will be this person, this incredible figure who is able to do the things that no one else could do. Because I believe that a higher power has been working behind the scenes on all of this for a very long time. And I do believe that the team that is finding their way around him from –

From RFK to Rogan to everybody else, there's something happening here that's bringing the country back together. If we can just find a way into people's hearts who have been convinced that he's Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao combined together,

I think he's going to be remembered as a grand uniter. I agree. I agree. Laura, thank you so much. Again, please thank everybody on the RNC team for giving me confidence, not only in the election, but also in the GOP for the first time. Thank you. Thank you very much. We appreciate it.

You're streaming the best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts. A brother from another mother, a congressman from the great state of Texas, Chip Roy joins us now. Hello, Chip. Glenn, how are you, brother? I am really good, really good. I thought we witnessed a miracle last night.

Well, I think that's a good way of putting it. In fact, I saw your tweet along those lines. I think you said something like, hey, before we get a little too full of ourselves, let's remember that the good Lord probably stepped in and saved us from ourselves. I'm paraphrasing. But I couldn't agree more. I think this is an opportunity that the good Lord has given us to get it right. And there can be no rest for the weary, for those of us that have

have fought to get to this place. And I give significant credit to President Trump for withstanding, as I think I said and I tweeted out earlier, all of the assaults against him, literal assaults in terms of assassination, but the war, the lawfare against him, the impeachment efforts, the Russian hoax, the media,

And he navigated, as we well know, a legitimate primary, unlike Kamala Harris. And here he stands with a mandate. We'll see what happens in the House. It's obviously very thin in the House. We can talk about that more if you want. But we've got to deliver now. We have to deliver. So Congressman Raskin is saying, you know, all kinds of stuff. Is that an empty threat or not?

Are they planning on, you know, trying to not certify on January 6th? Well, first of all, this is why it's really important these last few races that are sorting out, like what the numbers end up being in the House of Representatives. Obviously, the House is critical with respect to how we handle the process of certifying the election, taking the electors. I will say that I think I have a certain degree of credibility to make certifications

strong arguments for why we are to certify the electors. The states will send us the electors and should, and we should certify them. Now, if there's some kind of chicanery that's going on where they're trying to undermine the will of the electorate, then we'll have to look at that. But

But I fully expect the states to send us the electors under law and that we should do our job to certify. But let's be very clear, President Trump should be certified. It's very clear that he is the winner. Anybody with eyes can see that. And I think Jamie Raskin and others are just crying in their milk.

And, you know, it was always for them about power, never about the Constitution. Some of us were trying to stand up and defend the Constitution and are trying to maintain that credibility across elections. For example, I didn't believe Mike Pence could unilaterally decide as vice president not to certify the election, nor do I believe that Kamala Harris can unilaterally certify.

reject certification of the election. I think that principle is important here. And that's why I took it four years ago. And that's why I'll defend it now. You know, I, um, he's bringing up that you're just not paying attention to the, all those civil war amendments where you can't be an insurrectionist and, uh, serve as a president, you know, that they meant that back then, well, if I'm not mistaken, Chip, and you might know better than, than I do, but, uh,

I don't think they enforced any of that because they forgave the insurrectionists. They were trying to heal the nation. First of all, he's never even been charged, let alone convicted of being an insurrectionist. They never even charged him with that. So, you know, he's taking this and making it into something that it was not. Am I reading that right?

I think that is correct. And I certainly the whole point of the post-Civil War structure was to heal the country, right? It was to figure out how we can keep everybody working together. And they wanted to have very specific safeguards for those who took up arms and fought. And in this instance, as you point out, there has been no determination by any legal authority that

the president had engaged in anything akin to insurrection. What Jamie wants to say is that in light of what the court said, I think what was it in Colorado, that in light of that, that the Congress could make that determination, right? The Congress could just say, oh, yeah, you're an insurrectionist, so you can't be seated as president. Well, first of all, I don't think that's correct. I don't think Congress can just, you know, say that.

But importantly, if we have the majority, if Republicans have the House majority, then we are certainly not going to do that. And I think when push comes to shove, the vast majority of Democrats, when they look at what that would mean, when they see how much they were utterly destroyed at the ballot box, that you're starting to see even their craziest are kind of looking starry-eyed like, well, wait a minute, did we get a little too crazy this time?

And I don't believe that they would have a lockstep block of Democrats to do that. And I certainly don't think there's a single Republican that would do that. So as long as we've got the majority, as long as we do our job, we're going to certify the election and Donald Trump will become president. But I can promise you this, Glenn.

On this hill, I will die in fighting to defend what the people have done in choosing to elect Donald Trump. And that's why these things matter, that we do them the right way. Are we going to be able to, if they take control, are we just now locked? I mean, you know, there's a possibility we have 45 to 47 senators in

We could get a lot done in spending and taxes and everything else. But without that Congress, are we just locked? Well, we should. You mean if we don't actually get the majority in the House? Is that what you mean? If we don't have the majority of the House, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you don't have that House majority, we're in real bad shape. Now, I believe we're going to have it. I mean, the numbers I saw this morning had us at 219 to 216, but there were about 5 or 6,000.

seats within 1%. The last count I saw had it up to 220. I think some of the people I trust are telling me 221, 222 is possible. I haven't looked at each election, Glenn, but going with people that I trust, I think we're going to end up in that zip code, which is roughly where we are now, right? We start now, I think, at 222. Now, that's a tight majority.

So the real rubber meets the road. I'm assuming we're going to have the House and that we have roughly 220, 221, 222. When the real rubber meets the road, it's going to be when we get into reconciliation and we're having real fights over tax policy that we can do at a majority vote. Whether or not we have the nerve and the backbone to stand up in the House and the Senate and do serious transformative policy changes that aren't the bidding of K Street and Wall Street.

The real test for Republicans, are we going to empower Main Street Americans, hardworking Americans, the people that elected Donald Trump? Are we going to give them relief on health savings accounts? Are we going to make sure that they get tax policy that is beneficial to them? Or is this just a K Street stop? That's going to be the real first test for Republicans, in my opinion. And that will really show its true colors, right?

in the Senate here in the next few days. I mean, McConnell is going to be looking for that vote and he's going to want it to go to, you know, Cornyn or some other rhino like that to keep control of the power in the Senate. That's got to be broken up. Have you talked to the president about any of this stuff? Well, I'm trying to, well,

Well, I'm trying to give those guys a lot of room here to celebrate their win. But I've been in contact with a lot of people around him talking about the things that I know we need to do. And I'm heading to Washington tomorrow. I'm huddling with my team in Texas today. We're going to, you know, we've got our thoughts about where things need to go. We want to work with the team. But there is going to be leadership questions in both the Senate and the House

And I say that not with any pejorative towards any individual. What I'm saying is this is a unique moment in history.

Nothing should be assumed. We should start recognizing that this was America giving us a blank slate. And if Republicans do not deliver, we will, we will go the way of the Whigs. The Republican Party will die. So the question right now is, will we put forward the right team and the right agenda in the House and the Senate to run alongside President Trump?

to secure the border, to deport the mass numbers of illegal aliens that have been dumped into our country, to constrain spending, to constrain inflation, to stop endless wars, to restore a military that is not woke, that is strong but sparingly used? Will we restore health care freedom and make America healthy again with health savings accounts?

Instead of doing the bidding of pharma and insurance and big hospital corporations, will we stand up for Americans being able to protect and defend their own families and have secure communities? We have to do it, Glenn. There is no option. Failure is not an option here. I know. This is it. You've been given a second chance, and it has taken a miracle to do it. And if the GOP screws this one up...

I mean, you know, whatever. But I hope that we are... I hope that between Elon Musk and the people that he could rally, Donald Trump and the people he can rally, and RFK, the people he can rally, and this kind of group of people that don't agree on everything can help us heal, but also...

You know, take down big pharma and get that money out of the system. Get, you know, the Fauci's and the CDC and all of this stuff cleaned up, you know, to the point of shutting it down and restarting if you have to. But it's it's absolutely corrupt. And I believe the American people are was sent the message last night. That's what we want.

Yeah, Glenn, I hope you can hear me. I am 100% on the same page as you. There should be a loud and clear message that was delivered to the swamp, to the Uniparty. You know, President Trump, when he came in in 2017, by his own admission, was kind of feeling out the town. And frankly, I don't think realized how bad it was. I think you've seen that awakening in Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy.

Tulsi Gabbard, who was a Democrat. You know, these individuals now see how it's so broken. A lot of us that have been out there kind of, I don't want to use the term prophet because that seems sacrilegious, but those of us who have been kind of projecting and sort of trying to be a voice in the wilderness. And, you know, people get mad. They say, Chip, we only hear you giving speeches. What are you doing? It's like, look, man, I need 218 votes for change and I need a willingness to fight and I need an executive branch then that will go, ah,

And, you know, we've been out there trying to highlight these issues right when now everybody knows about Jocelyn Nungere and about Lake and Riley. Then five years ago, four years ago, three years ago, I'd come on your program. You and I would talk about it. But it has taken a while for the American people to believe that their government would do to them what it's been doing.

And so now they see it. Their eyes are open. COVID helped. Elon buying Twitter helped. Guys like you that have been on the front lines that have been saying, hey, here's the truth. That has all helped us expose all of this. I have to tell you, I'm shocked. I'm shocked. Peanut the squirrel helped.

I mean, it's crazy what a statement that squirrel and the overreach of government. I mean, that is just out of control. It's just out of control. Chip, I've got to run, and I know you've got a busy, busy day. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on the progress that we have made, and we're expecting big things come the new term. Thank you. God bless you, Glenn. Thanks for what you do.

You too. Chip Roy from the great state of Texas.
