Hours after joining President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago to help raise money for Prager University, nationally syndicated radio host and co-founder of Blaze Media Glenn Beck noted that the Republican's loss in 2020 was a "blessing." "It is a miracle that he lost in 2020," Beck said Wednesday on "The Glenn Beck Program." "You listen to this show. You remember what I was saying. 'We're all doomed. We're all going to die. The country is over if we don't correct this in four years.'" The Biden administration has managed to inflict a great deal of damage, not least by its failure to prevent tens of millions of foreign nationals from stealing into the homeland and by its weaponization of the Department of Defense against perceived political foes. Nevertheless, Beck suggested there was at least one benefit to Trump serving nonconsecutive terms: the benefit of time and experience. Beck suggested that there was a profound difference between the Donald Trump who might have taken office in 2021 and the man he spoke to this week — a difference that may bode well for the United States of America. 'I'm thinking about saying it without any context just to freak people out on the left.' "I have met with presidents before. I met with Ronald Reagan; I met with George H.W. Bush; I met with George W. Bush; and I met with Donald Trump. I have more confidence in Donald Trump now than any other president I've met. The guy is super, super informed," said Beck. Beck suggested that Trump was gifted four years during which he could contemplate the nature of the political establishment set upon his ruin as well as optimal ways of fighting back. "He had four years to go, 'Okay. What did I do wrong? How did they get me? How did they thwart me? How do I stop it? And how do I reverse this machine while dismantling this machine?'" said Beck. "He is laser-focused on that." "He has — and I'm going to say this, and I'm thinking about saying it without any context just to freak people out on the left — Donald Trump has a 12-year plan," said Beck. "This is a well thought-out plan. Every time I talk to him, I am filled with more confidence." The election results and recent polling indicate that Americans are generally more confident in Trump now than in 2020 and increasingly amenable to his campaign promises. According to an Emerson College poll released last week, Trump's favorability rating jumped six percentage points from earlier this month to 54%. Blaze News previously noted that's a big deal, especially given Gallup's claim that Trump never cracked 50% during his first term. Although Trump has had to contend with seemingly nonstop lawfare, four years was evidently ample time for him to contemplate appointments and strategies, both domestic and international, should he make a comeback, some of which he delineated in his his Agenda47 manifesto. Beck was reluctant to divulge too much of what Trump shared with him but indicated that he has a mind to "get the Abrahamic Accords back" and restore relative peace in the Middle East; to bring NATO and Russia back from the brink of nuclear holocaust; to bring inflation and prices under control; and to altogether "get our house in order." "As long as he's following the Constitution and the laws, he is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time," added Beck. — (@) Like Blaze News?

President-elect Donald Trump's legal team filed a request to dismiss the Georgia indictment that accused him of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.On Wednesday, Trump's attorney, Steven Sadow, contended that the state-level case should be thrown out over a "lack of jurisdiction," arguing that "a sitting president is completely immune from indictment or any criminal process, state or federal."Moving forward with sentencing ... would be 'uniquely destabilizing' for the country.Sadow pointed out that the Department of Justice filed motions to dismiss both federal indictments against Trump — one of which mirrored the allegations in Georgia — following his victory in the November presidential election."President Trump has filed a motion requesting the Georgia Court of Appeals confirm its lack of jurisdiction to continue hearing his appeal now that he is President-Elect and will soon become the 47th President of the United States, and then direct the trial court to immediately dismiss the case. The filing states that any ongoing criminal proceeding against a sitting president must be dismissed under the U.S. Constitution," Sadow wrote.Trump is no longer facing any federal indictments. DOJ expenditures, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that the Biden administration's lawfare against Trump cost taxpayers at least $50 million.The New York criminal case in which Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records is currently up in the air. In that case, Judge Juan Merchan accepted the defense's request to file a motion for dismissal for his review. Trump's attorney in the case, Todd Blanche, argued that Trump's presidential win was "a mandate that supersedes the political motivations of DANY's 'People,'" referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. He noted that moving forward with sentencing, which was originally scheduled for July, would be "uniquely destabilizing" for the country.The Georgia indictment, which never went to trial, has been tied up in the courts after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was caught having an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since stepped down. A state appeals court abruptly canceled a December 5 pretrial hearing to determine whether Willis should be disqualified from the case. The court stated that the hearing would be canceled "until further order." Some speculated that the court's cancelation may indicate that it plans to boot Willis from the case on the merits without requiring an oral hearing. The court is expected to make a decision by the spring.The Fulton County District Attorney's Office did not respond to a request for comment from WXIA-TV.Like Blaze News?

The fee creep is back. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge Verizon customers will soon see yet another fee increase on their next bill, a game that wireless carriers love to play. As spotted by Android Police, Verizon customers on reddit noticed the small fee bump — just 20 cents extra per line. But it comes only a couple of years after a bigger increase to the “Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge” the company tacks onto monthly bills, and Verizon’s claim that it’s just the cost of doing business seems dubious at best. Verizon spokesperson George Koroneos confirmed the fee hike to The Verge, saying that “Starting December 18, the monthly Verizon wireless Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge will increase by $0.20 per line for mobile voice (basic phones, Second Number, smartphones, etc.) and data-only (hotspots, tablets, etc.) products. Verizon Home Internet services are not affected.” That takes the fee from $3.30 to $3.50 for each voice line on a plan and $1.40 up to $1.60 per data line. According to a Verizon support page, the fee “helps defray and recover certain direct and indirect costs we or our agents incur,” including network operating and maintenance costs. AT&T and T-Mobile have slightly different names for the same fee, and all make basically the same claim about offsetting the costs of running a wireless network. A more cynical perspective is that these wireless companies separate this fee from their monthly rate plan charges so they can raise rates without saying they’re raising rates. That was the basis for a class-action lawsuit against AT&T in 2022, which that company agreed to settle. It may just be 20 cents now, but that small increase adds up to a lot when you multiply it across millions of users. After all, Verizon only made $3.4 billion in net income the third quarter this year, down from $4.9 billion in the same quarter last year. And while the fee creep is nothing new, it’s yet another reminder of of the levers these companies can pull in order to pad out their bottom line.
