EXPOSED: Biden is HIDING federal plans to ‘expand voting’

Soon after President Biden entered the White House, he issued an executive order declaring that all 600 federal agencies must ‘come up with a plan to expand voting,’ The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway tells Glenn. She details in her recent article, ‘Yes, Biden Is Hiding His Plan To Rig The 2022 Midterm Elections,’ why this order was ‘alarming’ for many: ‘The executive branch does NOT have authority over our election systems,’ she tells Glenn. And, even more alarming? Those federal agencies had to submit their voting plans to SUSAN RICE. Hemingway tells Glenn the government refuses to release ANY detail concerning those agencies’ plans, seemingly until after the midterms are over. So what can be done? Listen to this clip to find out…

GLENN: I don't know a single American personally. I don't know a single American that actually is not involved deeply in Washington, DC. That doesn't want free and fair elections. That doesn't want every ballot to be counted. And wants to make sure that there is no monkey business going on. And that we can count on our elections. Every American. I don't care who you voted for, I think, wants that. But I don't think anybody in Washington really wants that. Especially the Democrats. They are already setting up that the election is going to be stolen. You can't trust it. And now the problems with the voting machines. They're doing the same things they always do.

But they're doing something else. Remember, the key to understanding this administration, is the administration. He is an administrator. That's it. All the agencies are being pushed to the limit, to take away as many -- as many rights from you, as possible. And make the system work in a completely different way. Than constitutionally.

Mollie Hemingway has written a great article, came out yesterday. Biden is hiding his plan to rig the 2022 midterm elections. Mollie is joining us now.

Hello, Mollie.

MOLLIE: Hello, it's great to be here with you.

GLENN: Yeah. It's great to have you on. This is -- they're doing this in every agency. And this one, you've tried to look into. And they're hiding everything that they're doing. Can you take us from the beginning, and then show us what they're doing.

MOLLIE: Sure. So in March of 2021, just a few weeks after President Biden took office, he issued an executive order, saying that all 600 federal agencies had to come up with a plan to expand voting.

Now, people were immediately alarmed. Because the Constitution does not give the executive branch authority over our election system. That's reserved for the states. There's a very tiny rule for Congress. And so the executive branch has not been given that authority. And people were also worried, because expanding voting is an inherently political act. You know, mobilizing voters is a political act. And so the bureaucracy should not be involved in it. So people wanted to know. Well, what are these plans going to be?

Everyone had 200 plans to turn in a plan. To soothe Rice, by the way. One of the most political people out there. For approval. And people started asking what the plans were. And they were steadfast in refusing to return those plans ever since then.

GLENN: Okay. So I want to make sure people understand.

That is 600 federal agencies. 600.

Had 200 days to show how they would expand citizen's opportunities, to register to vote. And obtain information about participate in the electoral process. They had until March 7th, 2021.

You can't find anything, about what any of those six agencies have turned in.

MOLLIE: And congressmen have been asking for it. You've had the ranking member of every committee in the House, asking for the information.

You've had them expressing their concerns. Congressional committees. Good government groups. Outside citizens are doing FOIA requests, and they just can't get anything.

And it seems to be that what they're doing is trying to slow walk it, until well after the election. In one case, they said they would respond to the FOIA by May of 2024. And so it is really difficult to get information. Which makes it difficult to even know what's going on. And I just want to be clear. These are inherently political acts. Like choosing who you reach out to. And to mobilize get out the vote operations. That's like what political parties do. And it's particularly dangerous. Because we're talking about federal agencies that hand out benefits. And so people are told, hey, we could really use your voting, Mr. Person, who is getting a benefit. You can see how that would be viewed as improper and unethical compulsion, regarding voting, which is something that is very dangerous, and which we previously had stripped laws against.

GLENN: So tell me about what's happening with the centers for Medicare, Medicaid, with their voter turnout. The Department of Labor. What are they doing?

Department of Education.

JOSH: Right. So each of them are choosing to respond to this executive order in different ways. And we are getting these indications that they're complying with this executive order, even if they're refusing to say what exactly they're doing. That you're seeing these public-facing things, where they'll say, they're turning their health centers into vote -- vote places. You know, they're focusing their efforts that should be focused on job training.

You know, during a labor crisis, on get out the vote operations. At the Department of Education Centers, or the federal work study program, which is part of the Department of Education. Had previously said.

Of course you can't use federal work study money, to engage in electioneering or election activity. And now they're saying, you can use these monies, to help run, get out the vote operations.

And I just think it's important to remember the context here too, is that we just had this election in 2020. Where we had Mark Zuckerberg finance the widespread takeover of government election offices, with partisan, you know, left-leaning activists. And they ran get out the vote operations in the blue areas of swing states. So the context here is really troubling too. Because we just saw in 2020. How this type of operation can have severely partisan repercussions. And why people should be on guard, if they want to trust their elections. And if they want to have confidence in their elections.

GLENN: Mollie, what do we do? We have no press that will do it. The congressmen, not getting responded to. The Justice Department is absolutely corrupt.

What do we do?

MOLLIE: So I do think that raising an outcry over the refusal to find information is key. And there are lawsuits that are ongoing.

Two groups have sued to get the information. These agencies are clearly in violation of federal law. And hopefully we would have enough pressure that those lawsuits can be responded to as soon as possible.

So that the public could know what's going on. And people should not despair. I mean, fighting over election administration is something that has been going on in this country, for centuries. And despair is not an appropriate response. Because, you know, you had even a few decades ago. The Democrat Party has disenfranchised like an entire race of people in the South. And people didn't despair. They just fought to make sure that the voting system was fair.

And so I think the most important thing people can do. Is get involved at the local level. Find out what's going on. And how elections are administered in your state. And make sure they're being done properly. And that there are no shenanigans going on. And you'll not be able to do that, unless you're deeply involved in the process. Start now.

We have widespread, election seasoning. So it's not just election days. Which is frankly when Republicans go vote. It's those two months prior. Or years prior. When they're setting up the system, by which everyone else is voting. Or by which the system is so insecure, that it can be exploited. And you really have to just find out what the rules are in your area. Find out what's going on, and get involved. Do election observation. Research. And everybody should do that. If they care about the republic. Because if we don't have elections we can trust, we don't really have a country. But it's not the end of the world, it just requires people to get involved and pay attention.

GLENN: So, Mollie, it's really interesting to me. Because I look at the things that they do. And I'm like, who has time for this? But you have time if you think that you should be in charge with everything and everybody. That is their full-time job. To figure out ways to control everything.

The conservatives, we have just been asleep at the switch. We're like, no. Everybody thinks like this. No. They don't. No, they don't. There's probably 15 percent of very, very active Americans, that are intent on taking the republic and destroying it.

We just have to -- we just have to wake up and realizing, it's really our fault that this is happening.

Because we've just been expecting somebody else to take care of it for us.

JOSH: So I wrote a book on the 2020 election called Rigged. How the media, big tech, and Democrats seized our election, and I go through all sorts of things, including this Mark Zuckerberg operation. That was a 450 million-dollar operation. It was more than anyone had ever conceived of spending on something to take over the government administration of elections.

But that is what I worry about. The federal government. They spend $450 million in the blink of an eye. They have so much money to throw at this. That it's really worry some. And the Constitution does not authors it. Congress does not authorize it. And yet, they're still doing it. But you're absolutely right, that a lot of people have been asleep and not thinking of election integrity for decades. In my book, I actually told the story about how there was this court order that kept Republicans from doing any Election Day oversight for nearly 40 years. I couldn't believe it. When I first learned about it. In the early '70s, a judge in New Jersey put them under a consent decree, where they couldn't get involved in any litigation, Election Day litigation. And for nearly 40 years, they were kept under this. It took the judge dying, and being replaced by an Obama appointed judge. Who said, this is ridiculous.

Let the Republicans out. It was so sensitive. During the 2016 election. Sean Spicer was on the wrong floor of Trump Tower. And they almost kept them under the consent decree for another few years. Because he was supposed to be on floor four, instead of floor five. That's how sensitive it was. It kept Republicans from focusing on this for a very long time. But they're kind of liberated now. And so they are doing much more to do Election Day oversight, and there are many more resources in play now.

GLENN: Real quick, any thoughts on the Supreme Court and what's coming here again, in just a few minutes?

MOLLIE: Well, I think everyone, there's so many important decisions. And yesterday's decision was a huge victory for the Constitution. And it really does speak to the importance of having solid, originalist judges -- or justices on the court.

Everyone is, of course, anxious for the Dobbs decision. For the abortion-related decision, and a lot of people thought it should have been out earlier, because of these death threats that the justices are facing.

So, hopefully, it will come out this week or next week. But it's been overall, in pretty good term for people who care about the Constitution.

GLENN: Yeah. I think it's been very good. Mollie, thank you for having you on. Thank you very much.

MOLLIE: Thank you very much.

GLENN: Mollie Hemingway.

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
