Should We Vote Trump Just to Blow up the System?

July 25, 2016
 Jon Boldt

Writer

This election has boiled down to two candidates (sorry Gary Johnson) -- and neither one is particularly palatable.

Following Ted Cruz's non-endorsement, pro-freedom speech at the Republican National Convention, Glenn sat down with a studio audience on The Glenn Beck TV Program to talk through the dilemma facing the electorate: What to do in the voting booth this November.

Glenn asked who in the audience agreed with how Ted Cruz handled his speech and all but two raised their hands. Terry and Lynn are brothers and were the lone dissenters. They thought for the sake of party unity and the sentiment of "Anybody but Hillary," Cruz should have fallen in line.

Terry said he didn't like Trump but he wasn't worried about his dictatorial tendencies even though he recognized they are there. He probably would if he was 40 years-old instead of 70. That argument didn't appear to hold much water with Glenn, however.

"I think it was you Terry who said you aren't worried about his dictatorial tendencies -- you should be," Glenn said.

Worrying about losing the republic to a dictatorship seems pretty far fetched for most at this point, so why should we worry?

"And here's why: You know what's happening globally, the world is being melted from the core out. And all the deck chairs are going to be reshuffled, all the borders are going to change -- everything is going to be remolded. And it's intentional. And when the banks collapse -- which they always do -- it's happened probably 25 times in our nation's history. It happens, it just hasn't happened in our lifetime -- we are way overdue," Glenn said.

"When it happens, you are going to have problems and if you can't tell me you couldn't see over the next two years, with the right conditions -- which are probable -- that somebody has to declare martial law to keep the place safe until we gain order, then you are living in a fantasy world. 'Cause it's coming, trouble -- deep trouble is coming. The question is, can you trust the person at the helm to give it (freedom) back? And that's what takes real character, that's what we should be concerned about."

Lynn floated the notion that throughout history, God has used flawed men to further his purposes and maybe Trump is that guy. After some disagreement and back and forth, Lynn clarified that while he's not a fan of Trump, our system has become so corrupt that it might take someone like him to burn the system down to allow for a better reconstruction to take place.

This argument clicked with Glenn and is a theory he had heard before and he was ready to respond. To see how Glenn reacted and meet an amazing family, watch this.

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."
