FEMA is doing a national emergency test tomorrow, but what’s it REALLY about?



FEMA, a federal agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, was implemented to prepare for, protect against, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, manmade incidents, and terrorist attacks.

Occasionally, FEMA deems it appropriate to test the EAS, otherwise known as the Emergency Alert System, and the WEA system, which sends wireless emergency alerts to cellphones, to ensure all is in order.

“The wireless (WEA) portion of the test is going to be directed at all consumer cellphones tomorrow,” reports Glenn Beck.

Citizens with cellphones can expect to receive a text message in the language their phone, or “wireless handset,” is programmed to.

“I just would like to point out no one should be in charge of our Emergency Alert System that calls your cellphone a 'handset' or a 'wireless,'” says Glenn.

“This will be the second test that they've done to all cellular devices,” he explains. “It’s been like 12 years, 15 years since we’ve had a test.”

Which begs the question: why now? Why conduct a test tomorrow of all days?

“In completely unrelated news,” says Glenn sarcastically, “the former Soviet Union is also running a test, and they're running it today.”

“Their test is of the emergency, ‘holy crap, get out of your house; only a third of Russia is going to survive,’ nuclear blast test,” he continues.

Another completely unrelated fact is that our Emergency Alert System “was established in the Cold War when we realized, hey, we could all be dead in 18 minutes. So let's do a minute-long tone and then come out and say, 'Hey, by the way, we're going to give you some information here,'” says Glenn.

“So, anyway, nothing to worry about tomorrow.”

Jason Bateman tells Biden to use emergency alert system to urge Americans to vote because democracy is under 'existential threat' from Republicans



Actor Jason Bateman told President Joe Biden to consider using the national emergency alert system to urge Americans to vote because democracy was under threat by Republican candidates.

Bateman made the suggestion while recording his "Smartless" podcast with the president.

“With the midterms on our doorstep. Okay. Two thirds of the seats that are up for grabs and the midterms are trending to be won by admitted election deniers. And then that means that elections and consequently, democracy as a form of government will most likely be done away with or could be seriously threatened,” Bateman breathlessly said.

“This is what they’re saying that their plan is once elected. So doesn’t that current real forecast, even declaration, justify some kind of emergency alert that asks for maximum attention and participation from every single voter in America?” he asked.

He went on to clarify that he didn't want the president to ask Americans to vote either way but only to alarm them with the warning that democracy was under threat.

“Could I ask you to commit to consider over the next few days using your unique power as president to utilize the emergency alert system?” Bateman asked and said it was an "existential threat."

The actor's co-hosts said it was a great suggestion before Biden was given a chance to respond.

Biden agreed that the threat was very serious, but he would not commit to the bizarre demand from Bateman.

“But vote, vote, vote," he added. "I end all my speeches, everything I talk about. Yes. For me to do what you’re suggesting, I imagine it would end up being a gigantic fight. Whether I was using an emergency system designed to quote lives for political purposes."

Democrats have begun to panic in the last weeks before the midterm elections as more polling appears to show their greatest fear coming to fruition: a red wave of Republican victories.
