Glenn's Show Prep

TheBlaze unveils new features, technology to provide latest real time results on Election Night

November 05, 2012

Writer

On Election Night, TheBlaze will be unveiling new features and new technology that will allow members of TheBlaze community to get breaking news, original commentary, as well as the up to the minute results on all the major elections happening across the country.

When viewers turn on TheBlaze TV, they will see the latest results displayed on a ticker going underneath the screen. TheBlaze will also be displaying the latest numbers and results on set, both in on screen graphics and the old school tote board. These numbers will be coming in from the Associated Press, the same source for results that other major news networks use to get their results.

TheBlaze will be broadcasting from several locations across the country. Glenn will be joined by the Real News team in the Dallas studios, which will act as the hub for the television coverage. There will also be members of the show weighing in from TheBlaze Newsroom in New York City, as well as in Washington, DC. TheBlaze will also have reporters at the campaign headquarters of Mitt Romney (Boston, MA) and Barack Obama (Chicago, IL).

TheBlaze.com will also be modifying its homepage to reflect the latest results, making them easy for readers to find up-to-the-minute vote tallies.

Glenn Hall, Managing Editor for TheBlaze.com, wrote, "We are retooling our homepage to offer a host of new features, including real-time updates from across the nation, an interactive electoral map, a chat room for our followers alongside the news and analysis from TheBlaze team."

"We’ll have the latest electoral tally for Romney and Obama at the top of the page, and we are deploying a state-of-the-art vote tally system to get you the results the second they are available from the AP," Hall continued.

TheBlaze will allow viewers and readers to engage in a unique, multi-platform split-screen experience on Election Night. While they are watching the coverage on TheBlaze TV, they can participate in the ongoing Live Chat with Blaze writers and personalities right on the homepage of TheBlaze.com. In the past, the entire editorial staff of TheBlaze has joined in, alongside producers for Glenn's television show and members of the Real News team like Buck Sexton and S.E. Cupp.

Finally, TheBlaze.com will for the first time be providing live look-ins to TheBlaze TV. At the top of each hour beginning at 5pm ET, TheBlaze TV will be available for a few minutes for free to people on the homepage of TheBlaze.com.

"We're going to have the perspective for you that nobody else has.  Also all of the technology.  I know I have a chalkboard behind me, but we have all of the technology that gives you the exact results at the same time," Glenn said on radio this morning.

"I'm not asking you to make us your primary ‑‑ I mean, well, I am," he said. "I'd love for you to do that, but I understand.  We haven't earned the right to give you the coverage and have you say, 'Oh, I'm with Glenn all night.'  Please let us earn that beginning tonight and tomorrow."

"We've brought all of our news people, or about half of our news people in from New York.  The other half are going to be up in New York.  This half's going to be down here in Texas and we're going to cover it like nobody else will.  And we'll give you everything you need with realtime results, just as fast as the network.  Because I'm paying through the nose for it.  So I have the same numbers that come to CBS News come instantaneously at the same time to me. You'll have them all on the screen and everything you need."

 

        Was this the most PATRIOTIC Super Bowl yet?

The 2025 Super Bowl demonstrated Trump’s vision of a new America.
On Sunday, February 9th, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest sporting event of the year. But this wasn't just a victory for Eagles fans. For those watching, it became apparent that American culture has changed, the zeitgeist has shifted, and America has become cool again. While remnants of woke culture lingered, they felt out of step next to the parade of American Flags and patriotic messaging that dominated the national event. The message was clear: America is back.
Everybody knows that the commercials are the best part of any Super Bowl, and last night's game was no exception. As Glenn has pointed out, while some of the ads still carried woke messages (like Nike's), many more captured the newly kindled patriotism felt nationwide. Here are four of the best commercials from last Sunday that make this the most patriotic Super Bowl yet: 
1. Rocket: "Own the Dream"
            
            
        
This touching commercial by the financial services company, Rocket, states "Everyone deserves a shot at the American dream," while showing images of people returning home and building families. The ad included a cover of John Denver's iconic song "Take Me Home, Country Roads" and featured an in-stadium sing-along, live from the Super Bowl.
2. Secret Service: "A History of Protection"
            
            
        
Donald Trump made history by being the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, which required the efforts of hundreds of Secret Service agents to ensure his safety. The Secret Service boasted of this feat during their minute-long commercial, which lauded American values and achievements and featured iconic American imagery. 
3. Brad Pitt: "Huddle Up"
            
            
        
The Super Bowl introduction celebrated snapshots of American achievement accompanied with a powerful commentary about unity narrated by Brad Pitt. The message is clear: Americans can achieve great things when we work together. The ad conjures up American ideals such as hard work, ingenuity, self-sacrifice, and teamwork.
4. Jeep: "Big Game"
            
            
        
Movie star Harrison Ford appeared in Jeep's Super Bowl commercial to promote freedom and to remind us that "freedom isn't free." Ford treks through the mountains while ruminating on what freedom means in America and the opportunities and responsibilities that come with it. 

        How Trump is WINNING at the Panama Canal

Despite the doubts of the nay-sayers, Trump's Panamanian plans have already borne fruit.
Shortly before his inauguration, President Trump drew national attention to the Panama Canal. He reminded Americans of just how important the canal is for the U.S. and highlighted the Chinese influence that has been slowly taking control of the vital passage ever since America handed it over to Panama. 
President Trump was immediately mocked and ridiculed by the Left, who called him delusional and an imperialist. However, earlier this week, Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, made a trip to Panama and spoke with the Panamanian President, José Raúl Mulino, and Rubio made some serious headway. As Glenn has explained, Trump's boisterous talk is part of his strategy. Invading Panama was never the goal, just one of several options to get what America needed, and after Rubio's visit, it seems like America's needs will be met. 
Here are the TOP THREE takeaways from Marco Rubio's visit to Panama: 
1. Marco Rubio makes headway

On February 2nd, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martínez-Acha and President José Raúl Mulino where they discussed critical regional and global challenges, including the canal. Rubio drew attention to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal in which the U.S. promised Panama ownership of the canal on the condition of its guaranteed neutrality. Rubio argued that China's growing influence qualified as a breach of the treaty and that it gives the U.S. the power to take necessary measures to rectify the faults, given Panama doesn't act. As of this week, reports say Panama agreed and promised to take immediate action to purge Chinese influence from canal operations.
2. Panama is ditching China's Belt Road

After his meeting with Rubio, Panamanian President Mulino agreed that Panama would step away from China's "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI). The BRI is a Chinese effort to establish China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. In 2017, Panama signed on to this initiative, and China's influence in the small nation has exponentially grown. However, after Rubio's visit, President Mulino has not only stated that Panama will not renew its agreement with China, but moreover, the country will also look for ways to back out of the agreement early. This is a massive win for the Trump Administration and the American people.
3. The Chinese may lose their ports on the canal

Shortly after Rubio left Panama City, two lawyers spearheaded the effort to kick out a Chinese company that controls two major ports on the Panama Canal. The Chinese company—CK Hutchison Holdings—has operated one port on both ends of the canal since 1997, which could potentially give China a massive degree of control over traffic. After analyzing the contract, the Panamanian lawyers argue that the contract is potentially in violation of the Panamanian constitution and should be revoked. It is unclear if the constitutional issues relate to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, but even on its own merit, this is a huge victory for America. 

        Top 15 jobs AI is TAKING OVER

The AI takeover has begun.
Last week, Glenn delved into the World Economic Forum's 2025 summit in Davos, where our malevolent overlords focused especially on AI and how it can replace millions of workers worldwide. We are at the precipice of a monumental change in how the world is run—WEF founder Klaus Schwab called it "The Fourth Industrial Revolution"—and in time, AI will augment every one of our lives. 
Already, AI is taking jobs. Thousands, if not millions, of tasks are slowly being delegated to it. The affected fields are largely data entry, admin tasks, and clerical work, along with graphic design and some customer support roles. However, as AI becomes more sophisticated, the scope of its abilities will only grow. The WEF is all for it, and last month they released a shocking chart
that revealed what jobs were already feeling the pain. Check out the top 15 jobs that are already disappearing: 
1. Postal service clerks

        3 stories that prove USAID is a criminal organization

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has one mission—to eliminate government waste—and it's starting with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID is a federal agency that, on paper, is responsible for distributing foreign aid to conflict-ridden zones across the world. However, for years, Glenn has revealed that the USAID acts more like a second CIA, but without the regulation or oversight under the State Department. Elon Musk concurred, describing the federal agency as not merely "an apple with a worm in it" but rather "just a ball of worms."
 Don't fall for the left's narrative calling USAID a "humanitarian" organization. Here are the top three stories that reveal just how corrupt the USAID really is:
1. USAID has funded terrorist organizations and Osama bin Laden

In 2023, USAID provided "assistance" to nearly 130 countries, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, Jordan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Yemen, Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Syria (which is currently run by a terrorist that received aid from the Obama-era CIA). Under Obama, USAID gave funds to an organization known as the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), which was known at the time to help finance Jihadist groups and had been labeled by the U.S. Treasury Department as a "terror-financing organization." 
The ISRA also funded and gave shelter to the 9/11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden—U.S. taxpayer dollars sent straight to the perpetrator of the deadliest terrorist attack in history and the most lethal attack on U.S. soil. 
2. USAID "loses" funds that happen to end up in individuals' pockets

A recent investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) revealed that in 2016, Chemonics International colluded with a USAID subcontractor to massively overcharge a USAID project to pocket extra funds from the project's bottom line. Moreover, the USAID project used "self-reported" performance metrics, which made it impossible to verify the actual progress of the project and how the funds were being used.
Even the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic has USAID's sticky fingerprints all over it. In 2014, USAID provided $38 million to an EcoHealth Alliance project called "Predict-2." One of the subcontractors, Ben Hu, headed the Wuhan Institute of Virology's gain-of-function research and was one of the first three people infected with COVID-19 in late 2019. That means U.S. taxpayer dollars were likely used to fund the very research that gave rise to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
3. USAID operates as a second "CIA" with no accountability

The CIA isn't the only agency that meddles in the political inner workings of foreign powers. USAID has conducted similar operations since the 1950s. USAID notoriously sowed dissent in Cuba to grow U.S. influence, and they even taught South American police forces Nazi torture methods. In the late 1990s, 300,000 Peruvian women were forcibly sterilized in a "poverty reduction strategy" that received $35 million in funding from USAID. 
More recently, USAID's foreign influence has grown significantly under former Obama adviser, Samantha Power, called USAID America's "soft power arsenal." Under her leadership, the organization meddled in the political affairs of several nations, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, and, Bolivia. Several domestic, left-leaning influence groups, such as the Tides Center, received several grants and aid.
