Best of the Program | Guests: Lara Trump & Rep. Chip Roy | 11/6/24

We have a great podcast, mainly because

who nor I had any sleep last night at all.

So it gets a little dicey.

It gets pretty, pretty, pretty dicey.

But just remember, take it from me after you hear the podcast, V for Victory.

It's an important message in today's show.

We have Laura Trump, we have Chip Roy,

we have Daniel Horowitz going over the entire election.

We also have all the meltdowns that people had.

I mean, people really, I mean, we were blessed last night.

We did not get the judgment we deserve.

We got the mercy we don't deserve.

And

we talk about that a little bit.

We need to be grateful for some of the great and amazing things that happened yesterday.

I think we witnessed a miracle.

And so far, our cities are not burning down to the ground.

Amen, brother.

Here is the best of today's podcast in 60 seconds.

The whole idea of being prepared for whatever comes at us,

you know,

is 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.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck 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 you know, 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.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Good to be here.

I also just have

one other little message, message,

if I may.

And it goes a little something like this.

Okay.

All right.

So just that.

That's another

thing.

That is just really

wrong.

Especially if

you did it again.

Yeah,

you do it again.

Don't do it.

It would be.

I shouldn't do that.

Don't.

I'm sorry.

You've got no glass.

That's why don't drum just kick your ass.

Take with you camp on Timmy Walls.

My man who has no balls.

Okay, so you know what the problem is?

Is that sounded a bit gloaty?

You know what I mean?

We don't want to do that.

We want to be gracious winners.

I could sense it right now right towards the end.

You don't want to gloat.

Right.

Because if you did it in the third time, it would be probably misconstrued as gloating in your arm.

The man who's got no balls.

Wow.

Wow.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I was listening to work on it.

It is a beautiful voice that you have.

I mean, that is.

Oh, you know what, Pat, if I may, if I may.

You may, if I may.

And you may.

I

love

that Tim Walls gets a mention in that.

Oh, my gosh.

I love

never going to have to see it.

I don't ever want to see it 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.

Oh, yeah.

They won Minnesota by four points.

Wow.

Four.

Four.

Wow.

That's it.

That was, I mean, he almost got Minnesota here.

You guys 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.

That's a big win.

Yeah.

That is it.

And he's up by, what, 5 million in the popular vote?

No, that's a devil.

That's going to shrink a lot.

That's going to come down.

Do you think he's not going to win the popular vote?

Well, shut up.

He's going to win it, right?

Gosh, I mean,

I think so.

I think so.

Please say it's so.

Dude'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 insane.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Assuming he sweeps all four of those states, he gets a 312

So he, you know, I think there's still a possibility that he could lose one of them, but I do not expect it.

I do not expect it.

Even CNN, though, has him at 276.

So it's over.

Look, it's over.

And we kind of,

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 wow.

So, Stu, you would say then

that

the polls were actually pretty accurate.

Yeah, I think they're pretty good.

Now, everyone's going to remember one poll, which is the Selzer poll in Iowa, which missed by

1 million points.

What an embarrassment.

It was literally 17 and a half points.

17 and a half points she missed by.

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 release the outliers that were 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 something like

that?

You've got no class.

That's why Don Troll just kicked your ass.

Take with your damn bond, damn evil, the man who has no balls.

Maybe something like that.

Something like that.

That would be be wrong, of course, if you did that.

Of course.

Especially for gosh darn.

You can't.

You just.

And you still can speak, which is crazy.

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.

this is

I think we did them in the Tea Party wave election of 2010, I believe, a Globe Festival.

There 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 probably the last time.

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 bit or 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.

Do you think 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.

It would be, yeah.

I mean, it's historic because you get your butt kicked this badly, you destroy your credibility this much, and I can guarantee you there won't be any self-reflection at all.

I think so.

I disagree with that.

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,

they would have won it.

If they could have just called him

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.

I mean, that is just.

And Pennsylvania will be the killing fields.

Yeah, I think they needed maybe three more handmaids' tale references.

If they had just come up with a couple more of those, if they had just shown up in the red robes and the white hats one more time,

this could have gone another way.

What if they brought up abortion another couple times?

What if they did that?

That would have been a good idea.

Maybe they could have charged.

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

getting heard?

And what are we doing that is

making people not come to this message?

They're not going to spend any of that time.

We would have just said, you know, it's because that other side are so hateful and they don't understand.

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, yeah.

They already are gay.

You missed this thing.

They already are.

I flipped on Morning Joe, the whole thing.

All they're doing is coming up with excuses in real time, just complaining.

And it's every single thing you'd think it would be.

Wow.

There's no reflection.

I got it.

No 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 doing?

Absolutely.

We never.

The Weather Underground was blowing up stuff all over the place.

Oh, Gosh.

They didn't threaten.

They actually exploded the bomb.

Right.

So that's the difference.

Wow.

And another super, super favorite, this one from CNN, Cut Two.

Donald Trump has been running for two years.

Kamala Harris has been running for

107 days.

So one of my big questions is...

particularly with her candidacy, is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country.

introduce herself to

dead set on

voting for a Democrat wasn't so sure about

that.

One last thing.

Hang on, one last thing I want to play, and that is

what's coming.

They're on to us, guys.

They're on to us.

They know.

And here they are ratting us out, what our plans are.

Cut six.

If historians in the future are allowed to write books,

and by the way, that question is open this morning.

And if people are allowed to go on television and say what they think in the future, which again, that question is open this morning.

No, it's not.

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, sir.

I'm Michael.

And we voted for freedom.

Yeah.

and democracy and the republic.

So congratulations, America.

And Pat, I don't want to hear that song anymore.

Not a single.

Which song?

I'm just reflecting on.

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.

Lara 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 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 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 worked.

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.

But

I know I'm not alone in the confidence that I had this time around.

And I thank you for that.

If we would have had, you know, when I saw the bomb threats happening in DeKalb County last night, I thought, oh boy, here we go.

And you guys were on it.

It was settled quickly.

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 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 saw that we probably do need sweeping changes to how we vote.

in this country.

The long, you know, it's really, it's an election season, as Donald Trump always says.

And there are safeguards we could put in place, you know, if we get a bill passed through Congress and

47th President Donald J.

Trump signs it into law, that I think could make things more secure going forward.

But we had to get through this one.

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, I honestly, I think everybody should install the Florida system.

Theirs was so screwed up.

And I think they could have counted every vote in America before, you know, Arizona finishes in two weeks.

They could have done it last night.

How do you do that and

get involved in

the state's

job of running elections?

You're right.

Yeah, no, it is obviously up to the state legislatures to determine in each state how

voting takes place.

But I think that there's probably some states, and I don't know, I'm not an expert on this, but people constantly want this.

They want safeguards.

They want to know that we have voter ID across the country.

They want to know that you're verifying signature requirements.

I can tell you when Eric and I went to vote in Florida, they were very strict.

They took my ID, they made me sign, you know, on a little pad there so that they could verify that my signature matched.

Yeah, I mean, and it made me feel good and confident as a voter.

that they were doing those things.

But you see where you have places like California, for example, where they literally don't even want you to take out an ID.

They say, please don't even bring it in.

It's, you know, it's like poison to them, these IDs.

There's got to be some way that we all can come together and say, these are a few safeguards that would be great to have in place in every state.

And maybe, maybe it's only applicable to these federal elections.

I don't really know.

But I know that I constantly heard it out there on the campaign trail.

People time and time again want these in place.

It's like a 90%

win rate on an issue whenever you say, should people be voting with IDs?

Everybody says, yes.

Everybody wants that.

You want confidence.

You know, I have to tell you, I walk into my voting

station

every time I vote.

And

people know me.

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 and they go, Mr.

Beck, good to see you again.

Can I see your ID?

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

another worthless Senate minority leader or now majority leader.

And

we have got to have somebody who's not playing the GOP game

holding that money

for one and not holding it against people and saying, hey, I'm not going to give you any money for your reelection unless you play ball with me.

We need somebody who is on the team.

What are you seeing and forecasting for you know the senate uh leadership

well i think the american people sent a mandate last night and i think when you look at the the folks who were elected obviously donald trump at the top of the ticket and and not just not he just wasn't elected glenn you know winning the popular vote really winning in a historic way in a true landslide fashion and then you look at some of the the candidates for senate and in some of these down ballot races you know the American people want fighters.

They want Donald Trump type fighters, you know, working for them in the United States Senate, in the House of Representatives.

And I think that should be reflected in a majority leader.

So I can tell you, you know, Donald Trump doesn't mind putting his

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 rightly make those known.

So yeah, it's important that the will of the people is reflected and it certainly should be in a majority leader.

So

what's the plan?

I mean, he's got so much to do.

And, you know, the opposition, they're not just going to go away.

I mean, I think they're going to try to put him in jail.

That's the first thing.

You know,

when somebody threatens, you know, my life, my family, or the things that I believe in, I always take them literally and seriously

because you're an idiot if you don't.

And Raskin and others are saying, you know,

they're not going to certify the vote on January 6th.

What is the GOP doing to try to navigate through some of these waters?

And then it's the irony of it all, Glenn, right?

The fact that they're telling us this now when it was such an overwhelming, obvious win for Donald Trump

by all accounts.

Look, whatever we can legally do from our end at the RNC, we will absolutely do.

Anyone who is suggesting that they are not going to certify this election, you are, again, you're going against the will of the people that talk about a threat to democracy as they constantly claim on the left that Donald Trump has been.

You know, it's outrageous.

I hope that those are just scare tactics.

I hope that that's just a lot of talk.

Oh, we lost you.

What did you just say?

Oh, can you hear me?

Am I back?

Yeah, I can hear you now.

Go ahead.

Yeah, no, I just hope that these are games and they come to their senses and realize how important this is.

This is far bigger than politics.

This is about our country.

And you can't just throw things haphazardly around like that.

So I would suggest that they stop playing games and they really start to think about the future of America.

And we're on the cusp of, as Donald Trump said last night, America's golden age.

I really believe it.

I believe Donald Trump will ultimately go down in 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 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 even know if a 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 coming his way than any other candidate in history ever has and probably I hope ever will.

So, obviously,

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's, you know, I think since the assassination,

he's just, he's become

a real iconic and strangely positive

visionary

and

somebody who just

there's there's there's no mistaking

that he is

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 I 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 profound way.

And I think he is different.

And I will continue to believe, as I think a lot of Americans believe, that he was saved so that he could save this country.

I think he said it in his speech last night.

I believe that.

I believe that he is, to your point, serving a higher purpose and a bigger purpose.

And

I just, you know, I think he's changed.

And I think that's why I feel so positive about the idea that he really will be this person, this incredible figure who is able to do the things that no one else could do.

Because I believe that a higher power has been working behind the scenes on all of this for a very long time.

And I do believe that the team that is finding their way around him,

you know, from,

you know, from RFK to Rogan to everybody else, he has

there's something happening here that's bringing the country back together.

If we can just find a way into people's hearts who have been convinced that he's, you know, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao combined,

it is,

I think he's going to be

remembered as a grand uniter.

I agree.

I agree.

Laura, thank you so much.

Again, please thank everybody on the RNC team.

for giving me confidence not only in the election but also in the gop for the first time thank you

thank you very much we appreciate it.

You're streaming the best of the Glen Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts.

A brother from another mother,

the congressman from the great state of Texas, Chip Roy joins us now.

Hello, Chip.

Glenn, how are you, brother?

Oh, I am.

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 fought to get to this place.

and i give i give significant credit to president trump uh for withstanding as i think i said and i tweeted out earlier you know all of the assaults against him literal assaults in terms of assassination but the war the law affair against him uh the impeachment efforts the russian hoax the media uh and he navigated as we well know a legitimate primary unlike kamala harris and here he stands uh with a uh 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 um we've got to deliver now we have to deliver

so um

congressman raskin is saying you know all kinds of stuff is that an empty threat or

are they planning on you know trying to not certify on january 6th

well first of all this is why it's really important these last few races that are sorting out like what the numbers end up being in the House of Representatives.

Obviously, the House is critical with respect to how we handle the process of certifying the election, taking the electors.

I will say that I think I have a certain degree of credibility to make strong arguments for why we are to certify the electors.

The states will send us the electors and should.

and we should certify them.

Now, if there's some kind of chicanery that's that's going on where they're trying to undermine the will of the electorate, you know, then we'll have to look at that.

But I fully expect the 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 reject certification of the election.

I think that principle is important here, and that's why I took it four years ago, and that's why I'll defend it now.

You know,

he's bringing up that you're just not paying attention to all those Civil War amendments where you can't be an insurrectionist and serve as president.

You know, they meant it back then.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, Chip, and you might know better than I do, but

I don't think they enforced any of that because

they forgave the insurrectionists.

They were trying to heal the nation.

First of all, he's never even been charged, let alone convicted of being an insurrectionist.

They never even charged him with that.

So, you know, he's taking this and

making it into something that it was not.

Am I reading that right?

I think that is correct.

And I certainly, the whole point of the post-Civil War structure was to heal the country, right?

It was to figure out how it could keep everybody working together.

And they wanted to have, you know, 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 at like, well, wait a minute, did we get a little too crazy this time?

And I don't believe that they would have a locked-up block of Democrats to do that.

And I certainly don't think there's a single Republican that would do that.

So, as long as we've got the majority, as long as we do our job, we're going to certify the election and Donald Trump will become president.

But I can promise you this, Glenn, on this hill, I will die in fighting to defend what the people have done in choosing to elect Donald Trump.

And that's why these things matter, that we do them the right way.

Are we going to be able to, if they take control, are we just now locked?

I mean, you know, there's a possibility we have 45 to 47 senators.

We could get a lot done in spending and taxes and everything else.

But without that Congress, are we

Are we just locked?

Well, we should, you mean, if we don't actually actually get the majority in the house, is that what you mean?

If we don't have the majority of the house, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, if you don't have that house majority, we're in real bad shape.

Now, I believe we're going to have it.

I mean, the numbers I saw this morning had us at 219 to 216, but there were about five or six seats within 1%.

The last count I saw had it up to 220.

I think some of the people I trust are telling me 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 in 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

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 SOP?

That's going to be the real first test for Republicans, in my opinion.

And that will really show

its

true colors

in the Senate here in the next few days.

I mean, McConnell is going to be looking for that vote, and he's going to want it to go to 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

not going to be able to do it.

Well, I'm trying to give those guys a lot of

room here to celebrate celebrate their win.

But I've been on contact with a lot of people around them 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's 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

take down big pharma and get that money out of the system.

Get

the Fauci's and the CDC and all of this stuff cleaned up.

to the point of shutting it down and restarting if you have to.

But it's absolutely corrupt, and I believe the American people

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 Gaffer, who was a Democrat.

You know, these individuals now see how it's so broken.

A lot of us that have been up there kind of,

I don't want to use the term 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 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 out.

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.

Man, five years ago, four years ago, three years ago, I'd come on your program.

You and I would talk about it, but it has taken a while for the American people to believe that their government would do to them what it's been doing.

And so now now they see 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 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, Gwen.

Thanks for what you do.

You too.

Chip Roy from the great state of Texas.
