Sen. Mike Lee Believes These 3 Words Will Protect Americans From Martial Law

July 19, 2016
 Jon Boldt

Writer

Glenn joined Meet the Press Sunday morning and once again declared his commitment to #NeverTrump as well as his #NeverHillary --- but it was his comment about Ted Cruz that really turned some heads.

"By the way, my apologies yesterday," Glenn said on his radio program Monday. "I said, 'If Ted Cruz endorses Donald Trump tomorrow in his speech, it will be official that I will have no one I can trust in Washington.' I said that on Meet the Press. And I was deluged with email --- 'Has Mike Lee done something wrong?' No! Mike Lee --- I wasn't thinking of Mike yesterday."

Lee didn't seem the least bit worried and laughed it off.

"I'm easy to forget," Lee quipped.

As it goes with friends at times, the conversation bounced around and hit on a lot of topics so here are a few of the highlights.

Republican National Convention

With the convention taking center stage, the conversation shifted to Lee's role in the Trump Show. Lee had been described as the most influential #NeverTrump person on the Rules Committee for the convention in several stories in the past week, and Glenn asked how things went at their meeting over the weekend.

"I've heard it from both sides that the GOP did what they did to the Ron Paul people last time and just squashed and actually were holding up signs --- 'Trump people, GOP people, vote no on this.' Is that true?" Glenn asked.

Lee replied in the affirmative, saying it was unlike anything he'd ever seen.

"In fact, the sign said, 'Trump/RNC, vote no.' So it was surreal," Lee said. "It was bizarro-world in which the Trump campaign had teamed up with the RNC establishment powers that be to completely shut out calls for reform from grassroots conservatives. I was stunned."

Civil Unrest and Martial Law

With many people at a loss for what to do in this election, mixed with the civil unrest and international terrorism, some are now calling for "temporary" suspensions of certain laws or constitutional rights. Lee wrote a book called Our Lost Constitution, and as a history buff and champion of the constitution, Glenn picked his brain about martial law.

"To answer your question, this is always a possibility," Lee said. "It is always a possibility here or anywhere in the world because of human nature. Look, human beings are fallible. They make mistakes. They're not inherently evil, but they make mistakes. And that's why we need constitutions."

Three Words to Save Liberty

"Everyone I talk to says --- that understands really where we are, 'It's too late. It's too late,'" Glenn said.

Lee was quick to jump in and disagree.

"But it's not too late," he said.

Glenn held his ground, vehemently.

"Mike, we have people --- we have people on both sides of the aisle --- and a lot of Americans are going along with it," Glenn said. "When that happened in Orlando, they were talking about curtailing the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment. We had people on both sides talking about doing that in Congress. How do you save it when people don't even know what their rights are and are so willing just to give them up?"

Lee said it will all come down to three words and people will realize what needs to be done.

"All they need is the ability to recognize deprivations of the Constitution when they arise, and just as importantly, to be able to trigger three words: THIS IS WHY," Lee said. "This is why we have the Fourth Amendment. This is why we have the Legislative Powers Clause. This is why we have the Origination Clause."

Lee left with some parting words of wisdom for Glenn and the listeners.

"We can still win this. But we've got to win the conversation. We have to have the conversation in the first place," Lee said. "That conversation hasn't been taking place because our schools don't teach civics anymore like they used to. They don't teach the stories behind our Constitution."

LIVE NOW: Battleground Georgia: The Radical Democrats Who Will TRANSFORM America

Everything comes down to the two Senate runoffs in Georgia. If we lose both races, we lose the country. Democrats know this and are pouring in millions to usher in a Marxist agenda.

As the Left tries to hide how radical the two candidates really are, Glenn takes us inside the Democrat war room to expose the wolf in pastor's clothing, Raphael Warnock, and America's Justin Trudeau, Jon Ossoff. Socialism, the Green New Deal, and "defund the police" are all on the table. And Glenn warns of what's to come if conservatives don't activate: Chuck Schumer will weaponize the Senate, and the radical Left will launch an all-out assault to ravage the Constitution.

Sen. Ted Cruz explains the 'good news' in Trump's election battle

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) joined the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" to explain how mail-in ballots are typically disqualified during recounts at a far higher rate than in-person, Election Day ballots, and why this is "good news" for President Donald Trump's legal battle over the election.

"One of the things that gives the greatest cause for optimism is, this election ... there's a pretty marked disparity in terms of how the votes were distributed. On Election Day, with in-person voting, Donald Trump won a significant majority of the votes cast on in-person voting on Election Day. Of mail-in voting, Joe Biden won a significant majority of the votes cast early on mail-in voting," Cruz explained.

"Now, here's the good news: If you look historically to recounts, if you look historically to election litigation, the votes cast in person on Election Day tend to stand. It's sort of hard to screw that up. Those votes are generally legal, and they're not set aside. Mail-in votes historically have a much higher rate of rejection … when they're examined, there are a whole series of legal requirements that vary state by state, but mail-in votes consistently have a higher rate of rejection, which suggests that as these votes begin being examined and subjected to scrutiny, that you're going to see Joe Biden's vote tallies go down. That's a good thing," he added. "The challenge is, for President Trump to prevail, he's got to run the table. He's got to win, not just in one state but in several states. That makes it a lot harder to prevail in the litigation. I hope that he does so, but it is a real challenge and we shouldn't try to convince ourselves otherwise."

'He's profiting off the over 30,000 New Yorkers, including my in-laws, that died': Janice Dean calls out Cuomo's COVID hypocrisy

Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean is perhaps even more disgusted with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) for his coronavirus response than BlazeTV's Stu Burguiere (read what Stu has to say on the subject here), and for a good reason.

She lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19 in New York's nursing homes after Gov. Cuomo's infamous nursing home mandate, which Cuomo has since had scrubbed from the state's website and blamed everyone from the New York Post to nursing care workers to (every leftist's favorite scapegoat) President Donald Trump.

Janice joined Glenn and Stu on the "Glenn Beck Radio Program" Tuesday to ask why mainstream media is not holding Gov. Cuomo — who recently published a book about his leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic — accountable?

"I'm vocal because I have not seen the mainstream media ask these questions or demand accountability of their leaders. [Cuomo] really has been ruling with an iron fist, and every time he does get asked a question, he blames everybody else except the person that signed that order," Janice said.

"In my mind, he's profiting off the over 30 thousand New Yorkers, including my in-laws, that died by publishing a book on 'leadership' of New York," she added. "His order has helped kill thousands of relatives of New York state. And this is not political, Glenn. This is not about Republican or Democrat. My in-laws were registered Democrats. This is not about politics. This is about accountability for something that went wrong, and it's because of your [Cuomo's] leadership that we're put into this situation."

Megyn Kelly on what's happening to Fox News

As America grows divided and afraid to disagree with the Democrats' woke plan for America, Megyn Kelly is ready to fight back for the truth. For nearly two decades, she navigated the volatile and broken world of the media. But as America leans on independent voices more than ever, she's breaking new ground with "The Megyn Kelly Show."

She joined the latest Glenn Beck Podcast to break down what's coming next after the election: Black Lives Matter is mainstream, leftists are making lists of Trump supporters, and the Hunter Biden scandal is on the back burner.

Megyn and Glenn reminisce about their cable news days (including her infamous run-in with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump) and to look into the chaotic and shady world of journalism and the growing entitlement it's bred. For example, many conservatives have been shocked by how Fox News handled the election.

Megyn defended Fox News, saying she believes Fox News' mission "is a good one," but also didn't hold back on hosts like Neil Cavuto, who cut off a White House briefing to fact check it — something she never would have done, even while covering President Obama.

Megyn also shared this insightful takeaway from her time at NBC: "Jane Fonda was an ass."
