If I wanted to sell my house, you know what I need?
00:00:03.080
I need a real estate agent that will put some balloons up and have an open house
00:00:12.140
Or the other option could be going to realestateagentsitrust.com,
00:00:18.940
Well, maybe you could get someone who actually knew what they were doing.
00:00:23.000
I like the real estate agent that is related to me somehow or another
00:00:27.440
or related to a friend who only does it part time.
00:00:33.520
And there's nothing wrong with that, of course.
00:00:36.220
However, maybe you have a screened agent who listens to the show,
00:00:41.680
Knows your neighborhood, knows how much your house is worth,
00:00:44.180
going to price it right, knows how to advertise it.
00:00:46.480
And we should also point out, too, if you're buying a house,
00:00:49.840
If you're buying a house, why not get an agent that you know knows that area
00:01:02.580
Go there now, buy, sell your home, and get the best deal.
00:01:08.840
You know, you pay us to watch the news so you don't really have to.
00:01:33.000
We go to the State of the Union, and we watch the whole damn thing
00:01:45.400
And he put together a really funny Oscar special.
00:01:50.960
Well, ABC didn't like it, and Steven Crowder is here to tell us about it
00:02:05.980
Oh, they may be created equal, but they don't end up equal.
00:02:10.820
Ex-chair is a great chair that will help you if you have bad back, bad neck,
00:02:26.540
And I honestly believe, because you never sit back in your chair.
00:02:34.120
You have me on the edge of my seat all the time, Glenn.
00:02:37.320
I honestly believe it is more comfortable than a Lazy Boy.
00:02:43.160
It is such a great chair, and you can get it now.
00:02:46.340
It's got all kinds of bells and whistles, and you can get all different models,
00:02:49.200
including the ex-chair, you know, super or whatever the hell they call it,
00:02:57.100
It fits your body and even has a wider ass pad.
00:03:01.580
So, you know, if you're getting a little wider, so are the ex-chairs.
00:03:10.580
Use the promo code BECK and get a free foot rest, 844-4-X-CHAIR, 844-4-X-CHAIR,
00:03:37.760
Maybe you can get me one of those because this thing sucks.
00:03:40.580
Well, would you give me one of those things on your desk right in front of you?
00:03:53.400
This is actually made back out of Fort Smith, Arkansas.
00:03:55.980
I don't know if you're – I'm sure you're familiar.
00:03:59.300
Like, I don't know if you're familiar because I don't want to embarrass them,
00:04:02.660
There were all these pieces of legislation that just mounted up.
00:04:06.800
And the Walther PPK you saw on James Bond couldn't be imported into the United States
00:04:13.120
So they created something called the PPKS, which is the exact same firearm that includes
00:04:19.900
And they were made in – they licensed it to Smith & Westin and these other companies.
00:04:23.580
And now they're actually made here in the United States to German specifications.
00:04:37.680
You can't tell anybody in the government that I gave you a chair.
00:04:40.720
I'll sign the background check for my buttocks.
00:04:44.020
So, Stephen, you had a great show on Sunday night.
00:04:50.260
You brought the whole team in and you had guests.
00:04:53.620
And you – some would say we're mocking the Oscars,
00:05:01.500
And halfway through – was it even halfway through?
00:05:04.780
No, it was after the very first – first off, you're very generous.
00:05:10.160
But, you know, I mean – yeah, it was right after the very first segment.
00:05:14.100
ABC Disney struck us on YouTube with a hard strike so that they prevented the live stream
00:05:19.900
So, thank God we're able to – we were actually able to continue that night on Facebook
00:05:23.160
and get this up here, obviously, at the Blaze TV.
00:05:29.580
Tell me exactly what you were doing that Disney objected to.
00:05:36.460
It's take your pick at any point in the program.
00:05:39.420
I think they more so objected to the overall idea of the program.
00:05:44.440
This is not our first annual Oscars live stream.
00:05:50.040
We have a 16-hour CNN marathon live stream, no problems.
00:05:54.640
I actually did that because it was a follow-up to the previous Christmas telethon where I'd
00:05:59.240
And I said, well, what's worse than being waterboarded?
00:06:14.460
I had people in the back room just toss up their hands and walk.
00:06:18.900
So, this was not the first time we'd done this kind of stream.
00:06:22.520
What happened was this year, the second we crossed 40,000, we were well on our way to
00:06:27.200
50,000 viewers that very second, which I know people say, well, viewers on television, this
00:06:37.820
And we were shut off for copyright infringement, which, of course, it's not.
00:06:42.320
We actually are adding up the numbers right now.
00:06:48.080
And I think it's about 98% of the Oscars live stream didn't actually include the Oscars.
00:06:54.780
It was in a little tiny box with us watching it, mocking it, laughing hysterically.
00:06:59.600
And ABC Disney decided to try and not only hit our channel with a hard strike, but a lot of
00:07:05.540
people disconnect when they hear about these things, everyone here makes a living off of
00:07:10.780
And what they're trying to do is prevent conservatives from making a living off of content.
00:07:15.460
Another important thing to note, there are plenty of other Oscars live streams, others
00:07:21.180
They didn't actually have a shape-of-water fish mascot fixing himself a Manhattan.
00:07:25.720
They just put up a stream, and they're up there.
00:07:34.360
Well, we worked very hard to screw this tradition up for many, many years, and all the people
00:07:44.300
And if you can take our product and put it on something else where someone else can watch
00:07:49.880
our product, we lose because you're cutting us out of the thing that we produce.
00:08:00.200
I mean, there's a very clear precedent if it's transformative.
00:08:04.460
And there have been two major lawsuits recently, H3H3 Productions and two equals three productions,
00:08:11.180
I think Ray William Johnson's previous studio at YouTube, where they won fair use fights.
00:08:15.760
As a matter of fact, the law is on our side, the president is on our side, and it's continuing
00:08:25.020
I couldn't say, hey, here's Green Book, just run it on my channel.
00:08:31.760
Well, I guess his firm, LaBeouf, Ronco Turner, when he did the He Will Not Divide Us live stream,
00:08:39.760
We went down to his He Will Not Divide Us camera and did our entire show from his broadcast
00:08:44.240
camera, and they sued us, and they lost, because it turned out they had a greater viewership
00:08:50.580
when we showed up in Queens to his public camera and did our show than they had at any other
00:08:55.400
point, and it was determined that it was transformative.
00:09:01.760
But for them to have a leg to stand on would mean you can't be a critic.
00:09:05.400
Things like Mystery Science Theater couldn't exist.
00:09:10.440
However, we've had, I think, The Guardian and NBC go after us because we specifically
00:09:15.240
point by point debunked something Seth Meyers said or Trevor Noah has said or Samantha Bee.
00:09:23.380
It's not that they don't want to lose out on profiting off of their content.
00:09:28.420
It's that their content sucks, and they don't want people criticizing it.
00:09:34.380
If they wanted to say, hey, let's be honest, too.
00:09:41.500
And anyone who's tuning in to me is Freddie Mercury from the Live Aid concert.
00:09:45.440
My friend dressed as Spider-Man and Gerald is a gold statue and us doing a 7 plus 1 canceled
00:09:52.440
These are not people who are going to tune into the Oscars.
00:09:56.780
Do I want to tune in to watch the Spike Lee speech or Crowder and Michael Myers with a blowing
00:10:04.900
So, Stephen, let me broaden this a bit, because this is something you and I have talked about
00:10:10.500
just recently on the phone about how they are picking us off one by one.
00:10:17.120
And I don't know if you saw the news today, but Tommy Robinson has been deplatformed because
00:10:22.980
he said he stood by the Proud Boys and Gavin McGinnis.
00:10:33.660
First of all, I don't know enough about the Proud Boys or really what they are.
00:10:36.740
I know they've been, I know they've been looking at Tommy Robinson for a long time.
00:10:40.500
And I've talked with Tommy about this for a while.
00:10:45.160
That's why it's also important to understand the law.
00:10:47.640
And we're releasing the half Asian Kraken today.
00:10:53.860
And I've also just heard, I can't talk about this exactly.
00:10:56.240
There's going to be a video release from a prominent conservative who does investigative
00:11:00.200
We just found out again that we were specifically targeted for throttling on Facebook under a
00:11:07.460
And by the way, I was the subject of an Engadget, I believe, article or Gizmodo about two years
00:11:13.200
That's how I met my lawyer, where someone released documents saying, nope, it's not, it's not
00:11:17.920
We were told to censor Chris Kyle Foundation, Ted Cruz for president, and Steven Crowder.
00:11:27.360
I think it's really important that people understand the law.
00:11:30.280
What usually happens is it may not be because he said he supported Proud Boys.
00:11:35.720
And they would love to get rid of him for that.
00:11:41.900
And usually what they do is if you file a counterclaim and you invite them to meet you
00:11:45.460
in court, which we do all the time, by the way, this is important for people to note.
00:11:49.480
But just inviting them to meet you in court often gets them to back off because they don't
00:11:56.460
There's the courts and then there's the court of public opinion.
00:12:01.880
My guess is with Tommy Robinson, without knowing all of the facts, they probably found some kind
00:12:06.780
of a legal loophole where either it was copyright or something that they could actually legally
00:12:15.360
That being said, they'll find an excuse anyway.
00:12:19.500
So what I do think is important is for conservatives to try and really create original content when
00:12:28.540
And they tend to be, and I don't mean move away from the herd in the sense that we want
00:12:31.800
them picked off one by one, but move away from just the, I mean, just the, you know,
00:12:36.620
Donald Trump, you know, I hate Obama kind of ranting, you know, into a camera thing.
00:12:43.480
And basically it makes it really easy for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter to pick you off
00:12:48.360
If you are creating a ton of original content, we have these, these documents that we're
00:12:53.300
There was 240 minutes of the stream and three minutes were the actual Oscars.
00:12:58.120
There's not a court in the world that would look at that and say, well, clearly you just
00:13:00.940
ripped off the Oscars and just ran it on your channel.
00:13:07.500
Steven, I want to give you a plug on the mug club.
00:13:11.560
You said after a, a, um, a rather visceral rant, uh, when they pulled you off in the
00:13:20.480
middle of the, uh, of the, uh, broadcast, um, you, you, you were a little hot and, uh,
00:13:28.260
you said, this is why the mug club is so important.
00:13:33.380
And mug club, of course, is in partnership with, uh, with blaze has been going on for a,
00:13:40.400
It was, I can remember, have you ever seen the film flash of genius with Greg?
00:13:44.140
And by the way, I don't know what just happened.
00:13:45.220
I just said flash and my lip, it went like a massive flash of genius.
00:13:49.800
I don't know if you guys can, it was very bizarre.
00:13:53.800
No, you haven't seen that film with Greg Kinnear.
00:13:55.220
It was actually a court case where this is the man who invented the intermittent windshield
00:13:59.960
wiper on cars and someone else claimed, I think he was suing Ford.
00:14:05.300
Please don't shut me down here, ABC, if I'm mistaken, I could be wrong.
00:14:09.140
I don't remember which of the big three, but they asked him, when did you invent the intermittent
00:14:14.000
And the other person didn't really have an answer.
00:14:15.760
They said, well, you know, I kind of, I just thought it would be a good idea.
00:14:18.380
And Greg Kinnear, the man who actually invented it said, well, I remembered thinking with an eyelid
00:14:24.040
that it closes when you need intermittently, whereas a wiper would smear everything.
00:14:30.220
And he said, I thought, why can't a wiper work like an eyelid?
00:14:34.480
And that's what's called the flash of genius moment.
00:14:38.180
Basically any invention you can trace back to a moment.
00:14:41.580
And if they don't have a good enough story, they're often not believed with mug club.
00:14:46.180
I was sitting at one of my favorite breweries in Michigan, and we were being attacked at
00:14:50.880
that point from all these false copyrights on YouTube, because we were pretty, pretty
00:14:56.340
We need to, we need to create something where we can still be on YouTube.
00:15:00.700
We can still be on Twitter, but we're not reliant on them.
00:15:03.180
And I was drinking for something called Monk Club.
00:15:05.520
It was this, because it was like an old Belgian kind of brewery.
00:15:11.580
How about we have a, this is a physical token for people to see that they're a part of
00:15:15.420
something bigger, that they're supporting content out there.
00:15:17.900
And of course, now they have access to, to everything, to you, to Mark Levin, to the whole
00:15:26.580
We never wanted to be just shut down behind a paywall.
00:15:29.500
We wanted to use premium content to make sure that we could be a thorn in the side of the
00:15:35.280
people at social media, because we, we don't want to get ourselves into an echo chamber
00:15:39.540
and remove ourselves off of the mainstream platforms.
00:15:42.060
But we also understand that they do want a Tommy Robinson.
00:15:44.940
So I think we're stronger together when we do this.
00:15:50.160
We have to use both, but we have to prepare for the time exactly like you said, when they
00:16:00.340
If you would like to join Stephen's mug club, all you have to do is go to blaze tv.com.
00:16:05.360
When you subscribe, normally I ask you to put Beck in there and you get the 10% discount.
00:16:11.960
But if you're a fan of Stephen Crowder's, make sure you put mug club in that and you'll
00:16:17.800
save, you'll, I don't know if you save or just get the mug.
00:16:23.860
Yeah, it's a, or there's also a, they can go through ladderwithcrowder.com slash mug club.
00:16:29.180
It's a, it's a, it's a $30 discount if you're students, veteran or active military.
00:16:34.140
So you enter in the code student, veteran, military.
00:16:36.800
And I know a lot of people out there, they say, well, what if I'm homeschooled?
00:16:40.880
If you have a yellow belt in karate, you're a student.
00:16:52.760
Our response to this half hour, we've got to get to what happened yesterday with abortion.
00:16:57.360
I think yesterday was a, a critical day in the history of our nation and it didn't go well.
00:17:07.380
LifeLock is the one, is the one company that can protect you and your devices.
00:17:13.620
They are the first in the, in the business of this, I believe back in the nineties.
00:17:27.580
And now everybody needs to protect your social security number, your identity, your passcodes,
00:17:34.600
Now, nobody can protect all, you know, all devices and monitor all transactions at all
00:17:43.500
If you'd like 10% off your first year, just use the promo code B E C K call 1-800-LIFE-LOCK
00:17:54.160
If you use the promo code back, you're going to save 10% 1-800-LIFE-LOCK or lifelock.com.
00:18:12.480
So, what I think is so interesting about that battle between conservatives and all these
00:18:18.460
social media outlets is it's so similar to what's happened in the, in the mainstream media
00:18:24.780
I mean, you know, first they got rid of all the conservative hosts and shows that were
00:18:33.100
They've been targeting Fox News for a million years.
00:18:35.140
Then capitalism, the thing that conservatives preach about is able to create these amazing
00:18:41.480
platforms where now anybody can get on and, and have an actual business and, and create
00:18:48.960
And then the first thing they do there is start targeting conservatives to remove them from
00:18:54.780
I mean, it's the same battle being played out over and over and over again.
00:18:58.440
And I'm, I'm, you know, I'm glad Steven fights this stuff because it's tough.
00:19:03.080
I mean, you go up against big time attorneys and big time.
00:19:05.440
He's going after Disney or Disney's going after him.
00:19:08.700
Disney is known as the biggest lawyers, the, the hardest fighter.
00:19:15.760
This is going to be a tough fight for him, especially on the Oscars.
00:19:17.920
I mean, the Oscars are so bad that we've had this happen a million times where we wanted
00:19:22.160
to do shows and we're told by, you know, the people here that we're not allowed to air,
00:19:29.660
You have, um, uh, you have things like the big game.
00:19:38.960
At least when it's tied to something, you know, where you're, it's a, it's a contest or
00:19:42.760
if it's a, you know, call now, I get tickets to the Superbowl.
00:19:45.460
Even sponsors, even people who buy commercials on the big game can't say, Hey, look for our
00:20:01.280
And the Oscars are known as one of the worst offenders when it comes to being really protective
00:20:06.820
Uh, but again, like, you know, what he's talking about, he was, you know, these are sketches
00:20:15.180
And the fact that, you know, he shows a couple of minutes.
00:20:16.900
I mean, you know, I, you know, obviously the lawyers, I'm sure we'll figure that out, but
00:20:20.040
it's, it's just a crazy, uh, idea that, you know, it's, it never seems to be that the
00:20:27.940
You know, they never, it never seems to be a problem.
00:20:36.100
Sometimes I see him and I think he might be a bad guy.
00:20:41.020
Can you give him, can you give a quick, uh, you know, baseball card background of who this
00:20:45.600
He started, you know, I don't even remember the name of it, like defense of England or
00:20:51.580
And it was to talk about Sharia law and how it was creeping into their laws.
00:20:56.020
I mean, and it all was, um, but he's a fighter and, um, they started to have real racists
00:21:06.600
He started the group and he tried to kick these racists out.
00:21:10.280
And when he couldn't kick them out, he said, I don't want anything to do with this because
00:21:18.700
Uh, and so he has, he has spoken up against what's happening in England and what's happening
00:21:26.500
in England should scare the hell out of everybody who loves the Western way of life.
00:21:37.660
They're afraid of the people that are pushing Sharia law.
00:21:40.660
So, um, he apparently, uh, you know, he's been on the, he's been on the fence with everybody,
00:21:48.700
uh, you know, with Facebook and Google and YouTube and everybody else.
00:21:52.780
And now he's come out and he supported the proud boys and he supported Gavin McGinnis.
00:22:02.380
But how about all the people in the media that support Antifa?
00:22:07.800
Has any of the, have any of them been held to account for Antifa?
00:22:17.340
They are absolutely on the wrong side of history.
00:22:23.280
Just like Bernie Sanders is, uh, he's, uh, anti-fascist, anti-dictator, anti-strongman.
00:22:29.800
Yet, last night on CNN, he could not bring himself to say that Maduro is a dictator.
00:22:40.900
I'm going to make a prediction about the Democratic Party.
00:22:50.400
And Pat Gray joins us as we talk about what happened in the Senate yesterday.
00:23:02.440
Okay, I've been talking about VPN technology now for a while.
00:23:07.860
The world of cybercrime and metadata has become personal data.
00:23:18.700
You can safeguard yourself from everybody who is tracking you or trying to steal your stuff
00:23:32.160
But Norton Secure VPN is one of the most trusted names in consumer cyber security.
00:23:43.780
And it provides you with more online privacy and security than you've ever had before.
00:23:52.240
Annual subscription and Wi-Fi without the worries.
00:24:01.140
You can go to louderwithcrowder.com slash mug club.
00:24:03.720
You'll not only get louderwithcrowder, but you'll also get Glenn Beck and Pat Gray.
00:24:22.900
Yesterday, we were at a turning point, and I'm going to get into the turning point for the country here in just a second with Pat Gray.
00:24:31.900
But I want to tell you, if you know of a Democrat, warn them, this is a massive turning point.
00:24:41.860
And you are going to see the Democratic leadership run towards evil fast because there is nothing restraining it now.
00:24:51.460
Is there anything in our society that is lower than killing a baby?
00:24:59.640
Every woman I know, when they watch a horror movie or something like that, if they go towards the children, especially a baby, and they're going to use a baby in a blood or a killing scene, that is immediately the line for almost all Americans, but definitely women.
00:25:22.440
I remember there was a scene in the last, what was it, Halloween that came out.
00:25:34.720
And for some reason, Tanya said, let's go to Halloween.
00:25:55.080
He's killing everybody in this house and he heads towards a nursery and you hear a baby cry.
00:25:59.820
And my wife said, we are leaving if he touches that baby.
00:26:05.140
And I'm like, okay, it's so weird because these aren't real murders.
00:26:10.980
I'm just saying that that was every woman I know is like that.
00:26:18.880
The the Democrats yesterday refused to make it illegal to kill a baby.
00:26:33.980
In 2008, 2012, it wasn't cool to be a socialist.
00:26:45.720
And then the Democrats did something that I thought was stunning.
00:27:00.080
Mr. Chairman, I have submitted my amendment in writing, and I believe it is being projected
00:27:07.920
I move adoption of the amendment as submitted and shown to the delegates.
00:27:19.420
Hearing none, the matter requires a two-thirds vote in the affirmative.
00:28:06.940
In the opinion of the chair, two-thirds have voted in the affirmative.
00:28:12.180
The motion is adopted, and the platform has been amended as shown on the screen.
00:28:18.220
That is the moment that the Democrats denied God in their platform three times.
00:28:25.360
I think it's highly appropriate that they denied him three times.
00:28:29.920
Now, look at the race to insanity since that happened.
00:28:35.000
Now, you've just crossed the Rubicon of saying, babies?
00:28:44.980
Every single Democratic presidential candidate voted against this bill yesterday, warning Democrats,
00:28:54.860
you are going to see the mask is off and evil is embraced.
00:28:59.520
You are going to see horrific things in the future from this party.
00:29:04.600
Yeah, the clippity-clop that you hear off in the distance is the four horsemen of the
00:29:13.980
For that bill to go down, 53-44, to stop filibustering, to just bring it to an actual vote.
00:29:21.000
They couldn't get to 60 votes to bring that to an actual vote?
00:29:24.420
Three Republicans didn't vote because they couldn't get back in time.
00:29:28.840
And Tim Scott being one of them certainly would have been a yes, for sure.
00:29:34.560
Now, Murkowski, I don't know that she would have been a yes.
00:29:37.680
But if only there was a way to get, I don't know, to have a vote even when you're not there.
00:29:43.280
But as it is, you've got to carve them into stone tablets and put them on a camel caravan
00:29:51.060
Is there anything more archaic than you can't vote if you're not there?
00:29:58.460
No, there's no way to keep that aligned secure.
00:30:02.080
It's like the president of the United States is doing major calls with Kim Jong-un.
00:30:06.520
The president of the United States can launch missiles from a briefcase.
00:30:12.680
I mean, he doesn't have to be there to push the button.
00:30:17.540
I thought it's really a defense as to the thing you've talked about, Pat, and I know
00:30:23.540
you as well, Glenn, of getting these representatives out of Washington and back into their home
00:30:29.700
But I feel like they make it required to go to Washington to keep their little game going.
00:30:34.880
We should mention, three Democrats did vote for this, and that's really going against
00:30:40.280
It was Joe Manchin of West Virginia that you would expect.
00:30:44.320
And Joe Manchin said, Joe Manchin said when he was running, once that baby is out, I'm
00:30:57.440
Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Doug Jones from Alabama are the three who voted for it.
00:31:01.620
Now, Jones, of course, is running in a state in which he, if he's not pro.
00:31:07.740
He's doing this, you know, arguably for political reasons.
00:31:15.360
He's not the pro-life brand that I would like, but he's a famous.
00:31:18.880
His family is famous for fighting this as well.
00:31:25.060
I mean, and none of them can just, none of them say, of course, that they want babies
00:31:28.980
to just, you know, die after they're born after a, you know, a failed abortion.
00:31:34.020
They all say, well, what this does is it weakens women's health care.
00:31:39.380
They've made it clear that it only becomes human life when it grows up and registers as
00:31:51.160
It's as we said yesterday, that's a really bad sign for American civilization.
00:31:59.300
If it hadn't have, if it hadn't have garnered 50 votes, I would say America was dead.
00:32:06.560
But because 53, I hope that saves us with, with the quote Jefferson, because I know God
00:32:16.780
And I will tell you this, if you're a Democrat, please, please notice who they are, where they
00:32:26.400
are right now and where they'll be in 18 months or two years from now, because this is moving
00:32:35.740
Did you see the new poll on, uh, uh, Americans who now consider themselves pro-life?
00:32:48.640
I think it's Gallup poll, uh, just a month ago, it was 54, 38.
00:32:54.580
Now it's 47 all really 47% are pro-life 47% are, uh, pro-abortion.
00:33:00.960
And I, I kind of wonder if, if the bill in New York, Virginia, and Vermont had something
00:33:09.540
Has it just, has it just gone too far now where that's the tipping point for Americans?
00:33:13.200
And they're like, wait, wait, I can't associate with that anymore.
00:33:18.980
The Politico article about this bill, uh, says Senate defeats anti-abortion bill.
00:33:24.400
What, what, what does this have to do with abortion?
00:33:26.920
Again, yes, we're talking about a failed abortion.
00:33:35.940
Once the baby is born and out, this has already occurred.
00:33:39.540
Everything that could possibly go on with your involvement with this child is over.
00:33:44.080
You can give it up for adoption and never see the thing again.
00:33:47.120
I can understand the arguments about, uh, you know, women's choice.
00:33:52.960
We've discussed it a million times, but the baby's already outside.
00:34:01.340
All you have to do is get hands off, close your eyes, never have to think about it again.
00:34:04.720
Because here's, here's why, um, there's two reasons for this one spiritual, and you could
00:34:13.400
You have to sacrifice this to the altar of progressivism, postmodernism, uh, leftism and
00:34:26.760
We don't, we're not putting it in those terms, but the left has become a frightening religion.
00:34:35.220
And anti-human and, and pro earth, uh, at the expense of all humans kind of thing.
00:34:48.340
And the second is, and this, I say, as somebody who would put yourself in this situation, you
00:34:57.860
You carried it around for three days, thinking it was dead.
00:35:02.760
You can't give that thing up for adoption because you tried to kill it.
00:35:09.720
That is a testimony of your depravity and that you were wrong.
00:35:15.480
If it grows up and it accomplishes anything, it is always there.
00:35:20.940
That child is always there for the rest of your life.
00:35:25.180
I will say too, you could easily be creating your own Michael Myers because I mean, if you
00:35:30.280
think about it, uh, you know, if, uh, this wouldn't die either, he wouldn't die either.
00:35:34.200
And, and, and, and you have now taken on this child who will grow up to be the spawn to come
00:35:41.020
Can I tell you something that, that makes as much sense as what they're arguing right
00:35:48.780
You could say, uh, you could honestly stand up and be a leftist right now and say, you
00:35:54.200
know, we've all seen the documentary of Michael Myers and he doesn't die.
00:36:04.060
Pat Gray unleashed, uh, podcasts, uh, wherever podcasts are available.
00:36:09.480
You should do it and you should download it and subscribe and rate it as well.
00:36:19.460
Everyone says, oh, rate my podcast and review it.
00:36:21.420
What we mean is review it well and give it five stars.
00:36:27.880
It actually helps the algorithm, uh, sort out podcasts and the ones with the highest ratings
00:36:33.980
and the most reviews they think people are more passionate about.
00:36:41.040
Other ones that you might like that other people like you like.
00:36:49.640
When it comes to costly car repairs, you need options.
00:36:54.500
Instead, uh, you're often stuck bargain hunting for the best deal because who can afford to
00:37:00.820
fork over a thousand dollars, $800 for a car repair?
00:37:05.660
You know, all of a sudden something happens to your car that that is devastating to a family.
00:37:11.320
Especially if you're walking anywhere close to the line on a week to week basis.
00:37:16.600
Dave Ramsey talks about that all the time, but you got to have that emergency fund.
00:37:19.600
And that's a big reason why, like instead of before you start putting money in a 401k,
00:37:25.020
Because if you have a big car repair, you're going to have to, you're going to have to
00:37:30.760
Unless you have car shield, get car shield, car shield.com makes the process of fixing your
00:37:43.660
They also have 24 hour, seven, uh, 24 hours, seven day a week roadside assistance and a
00:37:49.600
rental car while yours is in the shop being fixed.
00:37:52.060
So if your car has 5,000, 150,000 miles, uh, and you don't have a warranty, don't worry
00:37:58.000
Now car shield.com use the promo code back at car shield.com or call 1-800-CAR-6100.
00:38:29.160
Uh, Bernie, uh, last night on CNN refused to, uh, say Maduro was a dictator and here he is.
00:38:37.600
He will not utter the words that America won't be a socialist nation.
00:38:42.260
And I'm quoting him now, America, this is the president, America will never be a socialist
00:38:51.600
If you're elected president, if I am elected president, we will have a nation in which all
00:38:57.640
people have health care as a right, whether Trump likes it or not, we are going to make
00:39:06.580
We are going to raise the minimum wage to, uh, to our living wage of at least 15 bucks
00:39:12.880
And whether Trump likes it or not, when I talk about human rights, you know what that
00:39:17.740
It means that our kids and grandchildren have the human right human to grow up in a planet
00:39:44.740
It's like, uh, when I'm president, uh, you know, everyone's going to have healthcare as
00:39:49.140
Well, you've won the election in this scenario.
00:39:53.480
He's, he's using that like, like Brock bands use.
00:39:58.900
It's just a really bad, it's just an applause line.
00:40:10.260
You know, the, uh, the New York times has a, uh, an article today, which is helpful
00:40:16.480
And it pitches, it says, build your own Medicare for all plan.
00:40:19.440
Beware, there are tough choices and they give you these options to go through.
00:40:23.500
Now, of course it doesn't calculate the cost at the end, which was what I was really interested
00:40:27.340
Um, but it's, you know, the options are things like, do you want, uh, universal coverage,
00:40:33.700
Do you want to end employee, employer, uh, health plans?
00:40:39.620
So it's all, I mean, Medicare for all can mean a bunch of different things.
00:40:46.220
The only one who has checks on all of that all across the board, there's about 20
00:40:51.900
He is, he's further left than every single one of the other plans, including the progressive
00:40:58.720
I mean, that guy won't say Maduro is a dictator.
00:41:03.680
The guy went and honeymooned in Cuba and Russia.
00:41:11.060
What's a surprise is that he is as popular as he is in this country today.
00:41:29.220
I want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor.
00:41:33.360
If you are, uh, looking to get out of pain, this was created by doctors.
00:41:38.160
They came up with this recipe, if you will, that will help your body's fight against inflammation, which
00:41:44.580
is the cause of most of our pain and why we can't sleep at night and why we just hurt
00:41:49.920
all the time, the things that you can no longer do, you should be able to do them.
00:41:56.800
And relief factor is helping a ton of people be able to pick up their grandkids, play on
00:42:02.760
the floor, uh, paint, write, do whatever it is that you want to do.
00:42:44.880
Yesterday, huge, I think, for the country and mainly the Democrats.
00:42:49.300
When the Democrats cannot bring themselves to say, yes, that is a baby that has just been
00:42:55.840
born and is laying on the table, we need to feed it, comfort it, take care of it, make
00:43:03.940
sure that it survives, honor our Hippocratic oath.
00:43:07.900
When they can't say that, the country is in real trouble.
00:43:16.440
But then, today, we have the national emergency at the border.
00:43:22.460
Another critical day for the history of our country.
00:43:36.720
Blinds.com is the number one online blinds retailer in the world.
00:43:43.240
When we had CompuServe and AOL, they were in the blinds business online.
00:43:50.680
I remember, I remember trying to just download a picture of something and I would go and have
00:43:58.780
How do you do blinds and shades and shutters and drapes online?
00:44:02.980
Well, you got to be really good at customer service.
00:44:08.300
That has to be the genesis of their whole program where, like, if you design it wrong
00:44:11.760
or get the wrong color, they'll replace it free because people wouldn't have trusted
00:44:16.920
the internet at that point to make those decisions.
00:44:19.360
And so, that's why they send you the free samples.
00:44:21.760
That's why there is the money-back guarantee or the guarantee that if you've mismeasured,
00:44:27.240
If you pick the wrong color or whatever, they'll recut them for you.
00:44:30.580
It's Blinds.com, number one online blinds retailer in the world for a reason.
00:44:41.360
And now through March 5th, you'll get an additional 5% off.
00:44:45.420
They're already great site-wide savings at promo code BECK.
00:44:56.860
We only have Ben Shapiro for just a few minutes, so I want to get right to it.
00:45:11.220
Ben, let's talk about the National Emergency Act at the border.
00:45:20.280
I mean, the truth is that the president really should use 10 U.S.E. 284.
00:45:23.860
That's the provision of law that allows the Secretary of Defense to declare certain areas
00:45:29.680
Then the president can simply build additional fencing there.
00:45:31.900
That doesn't require the invocation of a national emergency.
00:45:36.380
He does have funding available under the Defense Department to do some of that.
00:45:40.460
And all the areas that he's talking about, the ones that smuggle people,
00:45:43.620
also happens to be the ones that smuggle drugs.
00:45:46.000
That doesn't mean he has to declare the entire border a drug corridor,
00:45:48.940
but he can certainly declare the most high-trafficked areas of the border drug corridors.
00:45:52.700
The reason that I prefer that approach is because once you have presidents
00:45:56.140
starting to declare national emergencies when they can't get something through Congress,
00:46:01.580
Now, I hear folks on the right side of the aisle, and generally Republicans,
00:46:04.980
conservatives, they'll say things like, well, you know, if Democrats had this power,
00:46:08.160
Look how Barack Obama expanded executive power under his watch.
00:46:11.700
But there is a difference between – there are two problems with that argument.
00:46:18.220
And two, there's a difference between making the argument Democrats have already expanded
00:46:22.100
the power, and we fear Democrats will expand the power.
00:46:24.960
So now we're going to preemptively expand the power, handing them a tool without any
00:46:30.800
Because believe it or not, there will be a Democratic president again, whether it's in
00:46:34.020
two years or whether it's in four or whether it's at some point where we're in six.
00:46:37.460
It doesn't – at some point there will be a Democratic president.
00:46:40.820
And the Democrats that we're watching right now are already saying that climate change is a
00:46:46.860
They're saying it's the greatest emergency that has ever faced the country.
00:46:49.340
They're invoking things like World War II as comparison items.
00:46:53.060
Well, if you think that they won't declare a national emergency over climate change and
00:46:57.360
then say, okay, well, you know, President Trump built a wall on the border.
00:47:00.080
What we need to do is retrofit and wreck every existing structure in the United States, as
00:47:06.500
These people want power, and any excuse to take it will be used.
00:47:09.200
I think the Democrats actually want Trump to use this because it will give them the green
00:47:15.540
light to do – to really, truly become a dictator.
00:47:21.180
It's – the difference between this as a national emergency is this one is tied directly to
00:47:27.360
So the president can do whatever he wants after trying to get it through Congress three times,
00:47:33.640
not being able to get it through Congress, and so then he shuts down the government, still
00:47:40.060
Well, now he can control the purse strings without going through Congress.
00:47:46.180
And even if there is an emergency, we should not set this precedent.
00:47:52.060
We've got to be able to stop the Democrats from doing this, you know, when they want to
00:47:57.940
to do all of the things that they've already tweeted, great, declare a national emergency
00:48:04.120
because we think it's a national emergency on X, Y, and Z, and they've already said it.
00:48:10.500
Yeah, and they're not really hiding the ball here.
00:48:12.580
And one of the things that I find to be such a problem here is that, you know, when President
00:48:16.860
Trump talks about the national emergency at the border, there's no question that in a
00:48:20.180
colloquial sense we have an emergency at the border, but that emergency at the border has
00:48:24.260
It's not as though things have radically ramped up in recent years.
00:48:27.060
The numbers are actually down in terms of border crossings.
00:48:29.380
That's not to undermine the idea that there's a serious problem at the border.
00:48:32.720
But the whole point here is that if President Trump is running on the platform of, I'm going
00:48:36.780
to secure the border and Democrats won't allow me to do so, well, then run on that.
00:48:40.540
I mean, if Democrats don't want to secure the border, then they should be made to defend
00:48:44.720
But to expand executive power simply by saying, Congress won't give me what I want, so I'm
00:48:48.720
going to do what I want anyway, and I'm going to grab money to do it, it's a danger.
00:48:54.640
And frankly, I don't see the upside except for some temporary politically expedient headlines
00:48:59.740
that the wall is not going to get built under these auspices.
00:49:03.040
I mean, there will be courts that strike it down and create injunctions.
00:49:07.580
The idea that the wall is going to be completed by 2020, by the time of the election, I think
00:49:13.120
The best you're going to get maybe, maybe 10 to 15, 20 miles.
00:49:16.460
You're not going to get a massive build before the election.
00:49:21.120
The trade is the power of the executive to now centralize this kind of authority in
00:49:25.100
one branch of government away from the legislature.
00:49:27.000
And in return, you get a little bit of border fencing.
00:49:30.980
Everybody in the line of secession, including the president, dropped dead from a shellfish
00:49:43.000
What does President Shapiro do today about this?
00:49:48.220
Well, I mean, the first thing that I do about the border situation, as I say, is I invoke
00:49:53.820
I declare that there are drug corridors along the border that need to be protected.
00:49:56.860
I already have the statutory authority to do that.
00:50:00.220
And then the next thing I do is I go out on the campaign trail and I say every day the
00:50:04.040
Democrats don't have any interest in protecting the border.
00:50:07.040
They've been attempting to ratchet down security at the border.
00:50:11.620
The bottom line is the American people need to make up their minds as to whether they
00:50:14.060
think this is important enough to merit an actual change in policy at the border.
00:50:19.660
I just it fails to I fail to understand how the president can simultaneously claim that
00:50:26.100
his program is immensely popular in terms of building a border wall and at the same
00:50:29.980
time refuse to campaign on that against Democrats and instead declare a national emergency and
00:50:35.880
Ben, when Obama tried to pitch DACA a million times to Congress and got rejected and then
00:50:41.040
decided afterwards that he did have the authority, he said he didn't have over and over and
00:50:46.300
It was my opinion that they didn't even believe they had this authority because if they did,
00:50:50.480
they wouldn't have gone to Congress over and over again.
00:50:54.260
I mean, it's not like Donald Trump goes to ask Nancy Pelosi's permission because he thinks
00:50:59.160
They obviously felt they needed this authority to get this money and now are going the exact
00:51:04.600
I mean, it's a terrible precedent and I don't even think they believe it.
00:51:09.460
I mean, we just had a large scale government shutdown, the longest partial government shutdown
00:51:15.240
If the president could have just using his authority declared a national emergency and
00:51:22.820
I think the reason that he's not using 10 to 84 is because he believes that if he if he
00:51:27.100
declares a national emergency, then he's going to be able to go back to his voters and
00:51:30.940
I think he understands that he's not going to get a border wall built before 2020.
00:51:34.860
He's going to be able to blame the courts if they stop it.
00:51:36.800
He's going to say, listen, as president of the United States, I used all the authority
00:51:39.780
that I could possibly have even thought about to try and get this done for you.
00:51:48.080
So in other words, he wants he wants the I wasn't able to do it, but I will do it next
00:51:57.340
And help me get some people in here that will actually pass this.
00:52:01.140
And we're already taking the steps that I legally can.
00:52:07.540
Yeah, I mean, the president tends to be a man of extremes.
00:52:10.720
And I think he when he looks at this, I think he wants to be able to say to people, listen,
00:52:15.380
the maximum amount of authority that I was told I had by my own lawyers, that's what
00:52:20.500
And courts held it up and the courts are stacked and we have to change the courts and the Democrats
00:52:24.180
have stacked against me and we need to need to throw them out of office.
00:52:27.560
Again, I don't think this is a practical strategy that is directed at actually building border
00:52:32.220
I think this is a strategy that is directed at getting stopped in court and then being
00:52:39.100
I don't like politics being played with the Constitution.
00:52:41.340
And so, you know, they're the only Republican I've seen who stood tall on this is actually
00:52:45.940
But I think that, frankly, if the founders believed that the branches of government were
00:52:51.720
going to check one another, they did not believe the party loyalty was going to be able to
00:52:57.100
So a member of the legislature who's a Republican should still stand up for the legislature when
00:53:00.580
a Republican president encroaches on the authority of the legislature.
00:53:04.020
They're wrong about that, obviously, because people now don't care.
00:53:06.620
I mean, people in the legislature are happy to toss more authority to the executive branch
00:53:10.620
so long as it means escaping censure from their own constituents back home.
00:53:14.040
Ben, quickly, your thoughts yesterday on the vote that didn't pass with abortion.
00:53:23.260
Well, I mean, I think it's pretty obvious at this point that the Democratic Party has
00:53:26.940
completely freed itself from anything like a moral mooring.
00:53:32.520
In 2002, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act passed unanimously in the Senate.
00:53:37.780
This didn't even get, you know, four Democratic votes, something like that.
00:53:43.460
I mean, this bill does, all it does is it basically extends the law a little bit to say
00:53:50.920
that if a baby is born alive, it has to be transferred to a hospital and it has to be
00:53:54.960
treated with the same care that any other infant born alive would be given.
00:53:59.380
So it just removes any distinction possible in law between a baby born during a botched abortion
00:54:05.620
And the reason for the law, as Ben Sass pointed out, is that this distinction has been actually
00:54:18.640
And it essentially said that if you were born alive during a botched abortion, then you
00:54:23.720
were given the same rights as a baby not born during a botched abortion.
00:54:26.760
Well, their New York state abortion law completely overrules 4184.
00:54:30.440
And so this federal law says, well, no, no, no, we're going to restore the fact that
00:54:35.260
a baby born under any circumstances deserves the same rights.
00:54:39.740
Sorry, we need to have special capacity to do something different.
00:54:43.540
I haven't even seen even a coherent argument on the part of, I was looking all night last
00:54:48.400
night for any sort of coherent excuse from Democrats for why they would do this.
00:54:59.060
You know, we merged with CRTV and we became Blaze TV.
00:55:10.380
Well, you know, I sort of feel like the girl who's proposed to in front of the entire
00:55:22.180
I mean, I take that as he agreed and I just move forward.
00:55:37.920
You don't want to really maintain anything that you own.
00:55:42.320
When a toilet stops flushing, it's time to move, quite honestly.
00:55:45.880
But I have filter by because filter by will will help you if you are really bad at doing
00:56:01.080
They're America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses.
00:56:05.040
They have over 600 sizes, including all the custom options if you need one, like we have
00:56:13.860
A family of four could live in our HVAC systems here.
00:56:18.500
I found out how much energy this thing pulls, this building.
00:56:24.480
Because we're having the roof repaired, they may have to take the studios offline for a few
00:56:30.040
days, and if they take the energy off, we have to go.
00:56:37.660
We, I was told the other day that we pull as much energy to power 60 homes for a year
00:56:55.820
Everything is to bring you this broadcast and broadcast like it.
00:57:05.860
It's a filter, and you've got to change the air filter, especially in the wintertime when
00:57:15.740
Save yourself some time, some frustration, and some money.
00:57:23.580
Sign up for auto renewal, and they'll just send them to you every time you're supposed to
00:57:32.720
I found that the other day, and I thought, thank God we live in Texas.
00:57:50.800
Thank God we live in Texas, where we don't have brownouts.
00:58:03.160
By the way, these votes are going to be pretty interesting on this declaration.
00:58:08.800
I mean, the House, we know, is going to say, of course, it's not going to be approved in
00:58:14.920
But I think for sure, the Senate, not for sure, but I think most likely the Senate will
00:58:24.820
Because, I mean, there's already 47 Democrats, right?
00:58:30.340
I mean, Rand Paul seems definitely against it for sure.
00:58:40.600
And it would kill me because I know what the problem is on the border.
00:58:50.240
We cannot allow the executive branch to get this powerful.
00:58:57.180
If by some strange chance Donald Trump does not win the next election, you are two years
00:59:03.580
away from having an avowed socialist, most likely an avowed socialist, somebody who wants
00:59:10.240
to put in the new Green Deal, is somebody who voted, all of the Democrats that are running
00:59:20.120
They voted to kill children that were already born.
00:59:27.380
You don't want to give that office any more power.
00:59:30.600
The first emergency declaration that they do, assuming the next Democrat gets in, is going
00:59:35.880
to say, on environmental grounds, the first thing we need to do is knock down that wall.
00:59:40.740
The first thing they will do is remove the wall that you already built.
00:59:47.320
And as Ben pointed out, they're not going to be able to build enough of it in time to do
00:59:59.760
I want to make these sort of pragmatic arguments.
01:00:02.240
You know, Democrats will take advantage of this.
01:00:06.080
And the other side, you're not even going to get the wall.
01:00:08.880
Maybe they build 10 or 20 miles of it if you're lucky by the end of this, after it's...
01:00:12.920
You know, if it's not knocked down in the courts.
01:00:15.780
All those are pragmatic reasons to get people who generally are...
01:00:20.420
Who care about the border on the side of my argument, right?
01:00:29.600
It says the Congress has to make these decisions.
01:00:32.700
We know that the law was not intended at all to do what Donald Trump is trying to do with it.
01:00:40.980
And I think the law is unconstitutional, the National Emergencies Act.
01:00:51.180
The president needs some time to pass something.
01:00:53.880
Just get something started because we're in the middle of an emergency.
01:01:00.620
This is not something where this use of it is even close to appropriate.
01:01:05.820
And as much as I really legitimately think the motivation of the president here...
01:01:13.160
You know, I think there is a big political element.
01:01:15.940
But I mean, I'm saying about the endgame here of border security is real.
01:01:20.680
I can easily be qualified as an emergency that's been ongoing for a very long time.
01:01:25.080
But just because you think something's important doesn't mean you get it in our system.
01:01:42.580
And we even got them to do a shall build the wall.
01:01:51.860
The Republicans don't have any intention of doing it.
01:01:54.600
When they had that bill, it was Kay Bailey Hutchinson, a Republican, that overturned that and stopped it from being built.
01:02:07.960
They don't necessarily want a wall or a fence or a garden or a moat or they just want it to be secure.
01:02:16.500
And the wall is the only thing that feels permanent to people.
01:02:24.220
And that's why if Donald Trump would have started it and had four years to work on it, it might have been different because you could have been four years.
01:02:33.000
If he would have made that his priority, it could have been done.
01:02:38.760
And so the average person who is for security, not necessarily for a wall, just for security, says these people are going to hemorrhage us to death.
01:02:48.540
And it may not be an emergency as defined today, but we all know there is coming in our future, probably nearer than any of us like.
01:03:03.280
Hopefully farther than we think, but closer than we we would hope there's going to be a crisis of of people flooding to our border.
01:03:15.620
And look, a lot of a lot of people from Venezuela that have left are here.
01:03:19.200
Hundreds of thousands of them, you know, and and I so I agree that this is a big deal and it's important.
01:03:25.620
Just stop and think about it from the other perspective for a second.
01:03:30.800
They had John McCain on board for a global warming bill.
01:03:35.760
They have been going the right way all of this time.
01:03:43.720
They've tried all these things and they didn't get what they wanted.
01:03:46.800
So they had to do something that wasn't available to them.
01:03:56.940
If a if a Democrat is president next term, this is how they get rid of guns.
01:04:05.160
They just get it done and the voters have nothing to say about it.
01:04:10.340
American Financing Corporation and NMLS 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org
01:04:23.320
For people who haven't purchased a home, mortgage rates right now, historic lows.
01:04:32.440
But if you're renting, you might want to consider buying because you're not going to see these rates again.
01:04:39.240
Only if there is a massive collapse will these come down and then you're into a whole different world.
01:04:46.200
But renting has already gone up 5% in the last.
01:04:51.720
If you have a variable mortgage, please get it locked in because these rates could skyrocket.
01:04:58.680
The company that I truly trust and I really like these people is American Financing.

Yesterday, I told you yesterday morning that I think the country is at a crossroads.
01:05:47.000
Today, we are voting on whether or not the president has the power to spend money and declare a national emergency.
01:05:58.180
We're going to give this power to the Democrats, and they will use it for all of the things.
01:06:04.660
We've been trying to tell you about, you know, the free education and the green movement and trying to get these common sense things enacted, and they won't.
01:06:21.220
And here's another reason why I say extreme caution.
01:06:27.820
Yesterday, Ben Sasse wanted the born alive bill to be passed, and we'll talk about that here in a second.
01:06:35.720
But the Democrats and all of the candidates that are running for the Democratic nomination voted against it.
01:06:42.880
This is a bill that basically says if a baby is born alive, you cannot kill it.
01:06:53.060
I don't know where God stands on how many votes we need to have before we lose our status as one nation under God, but we're getting pretty close.
01:07:03.720
But I will tell you this, the Democrats certainly have detached from reality and God, and I expect to see a race to the bottom of the barrel now with the Democrats.
01:07:22.820
Alexandra DeSantis was covering this all over the place.
01:07:27.020
She's with the National Review, and she really went through not only the entire story from day to day, but also suffered through every single speech yesterday.
01:07:39.080
So what was it that they, can you find any reason at all, Alexandra, that the Democrats have a legitimate case to not vote for this?
01:07:51.320
They really don't have a legitimate case, and I think you can discern that based on the fact that they're giving two conflicting reasons for not voting for the bill.
01:07:58.700
On one hand, they've said, well, this is redundant of existing law, infanticide is already illegal.
01:08:03.360
And then on the other hand, they've said this bill is anti-abortion, and it criminalizes doctors and punishes women.
01:08:12.740
Yeah, it can't be both at the same time, I don't think.
01:08:15.820
I saw a bunch of stuff that they said was in this bill, like it was going to vilify doctors and make them more vulnerable.
01:08:23.360
Or are these just completely made-up lies, assuming that their audience and voters would not read the bill?
01:08:30.100
They've gone with this line that the bill punishes doctors, and it does enforce criminal penalties for a doctor who does not give medical care to an infant.
01:08:38.740
But I think the important thing to keep in mind about the legislation is it doesn't prescribe a particular kind of care.
01:08:44.340
It just says that if an infant is born alive in the context of abortion, it should be treated like any other living infant.
01:08:50.220
It does not say you must give it this particular treatment.
01:08:58.440
Well, how would you describe what happened yesterday with the Democrats?
01:09:04.480
Was this just politics, or is this something different?
01:09:08.700
I think it's very clear that the power that groups like NARAL and Planned Parenthood have over the Democratic Party, because if you look at public opinion polling, nobody really is in favor of denying medical care to viable infants.
01:09:22.600
A lot of Democrats even describe themselves as pro-life now and support some limits on abortion.
01:09:27.520
And this bill itself has nothing to do with abortion, but they're so sort of enthralled to the abortion industry that they feel like admitting any weakness in their case would be a problem for them.
01:09:37.300
They're going to get hit by the really extreme parts of their party.
01:09:40.060
But this isn't, this is, I'm sick of everybody calling it, including us, an abortion bill.
01:09:55.940
So it has nothing to do with women's health and it has nothing to do with abortion at all.
01:10:04.840
And if you listen, well, I guess you didn't, but I listened for you to every Democratic speech yesterday and they all kept claiming that this was an attack on women's health care, but not a single one of the Democrats pointed to a line in the bill that showed how it harmed women or had anything to do with women's health care options.
01:10:19.820
This is about health care for a living infant that has been born.
01:10:23.520
Alexandria, back in 2002, there was a bill that was roughly similar to this that passed, I believe, unanimously.
01:10:29.520
We're talking to Ben Shapiro and he said it was unanimous on that vote.
01:10:33.060
So is this just a, the fact that this can't pass, is that an example of how far the Democratic Party has come?
01:10:39.900
Is, do they, I mean, is there any part of them that thinks that this is a little bit further and does something they're uncomfortable with?
01:10:46.700
So the bill in 2002, all that did was define an infant born alive in the context of abortion as a person, whereas this bill would be the only federal law that would actually affirmatively mandate care for infants.
01:10:58.800
And I think that's a step too far for Democrats simply because, you know, like we've said, this isn't an abortion bill.
01:11:04.220
But if we're going to start, you know, defining an infant that's been born alive in the context of abortion as somebody who's deserving of medical care, suddenly we can start asking questions like, well, one minute earlier when it's inside its mother, why is that not an infant?
01:11:17.220
And then, you know, they're having to defend the entirety of abortion and they don't want to have to be doing that.
01:11:21.700
Yeah, but I mean, you're going the opposite direction.
01:11:24.380
If I can kill it at birth, why can't I kill it the next day?
01:11:28.280
Why can't I kill it the minute it becomes nonviable?
01:11:31.100
I mean, yeah, that that argument goes, it cuts both ways.
01:11:34.960
And the American people are not on the side of killing infants, period.
01:11:47.620
I feel like I can't believe the world we're living in.
01:11:51.300
It does it shock you or can you explain how we've gone from a a country that was having a debate about, you know, even first trimester abortion?
01:12:10.440
But some people, you know, we were saying, I don't know when it's a baby.
01:12:17.580
However, we were having that argument to all of a sudden, we're now having an argument about the most extreme, more extreme than partial birth abortion.
01:12:33.780
I mean, that's obviously a really complex question.
01:12:39.680
But I do think that's a huge part of it, because I've been covering this sort of thing and abortion broadly now for a couple of years.
01:12:45.820
And it just astounds me how much misinformation is out there and is spread oftentimes, it seems, intentionally by media outlets and by people who call themselves reporters.
01:12:57.340
And so I think when you have Democratic senators standing on the floor claiming that this is an attack on women's health care, it's going to be portrayed like that by a lot of media outlets or just totally ignored and brushed under the rug.
01:13:08.260
And I think the average person doesn't know the difference, unfortunately.
01:13:12.120
This is a third trimester abortion, I believe, is 80 to 14 against when polled in the American public.
01:13:20.460
And it's such an unpopular position to keep extending, as Democrats tend to do.
01:13:26.700
And I'm sure Republicans are putting them in the position to defend this intentionally because of that polling.
01:13:31.140
But I mean, I can't think of anything on the other side where Republicans are supposedly won over by special interests and are supporting something that only 14 percent of the population agrees with.
01:13:43.100
I mean, is Planned Parenthood that that powerful?
01:13:47.120
I mean, it just seems it seems almost self-defeating to go after these bills, unless I guess maybe you have the backing of the media to cover each each step of your tracks.
01:13:57.300
Yeah, I think that they're just banking on the fact that no one's ever going to know the difference.
01:14:00.900
And I think with Planned Parenthood, not only is it about, you know, the huge amount of money in the abortion lobby that gets poured into the Democratic Party,
01:14:07.220
but it's also about the fact that these groups then go out and lobby heavily against you.
01:14:11.640
And if you vote against or vote in favor, rather, of something like the Born Alive bill, you're going to be cast as an anti-choice extremist.
01:14:18.520
And I think Democrats feel like they can't afford to take that risk.
01:14:25.720
What does the future hold for the Democratic Party if they can take this extreme of a view?
01:14:31.020
Plus, say, the the days of the free market and capitalists are numbered and we will be a socialist nation.
01:14:43.000
What what is in the wings that they haven't said that is in their heart that they will do?
01:14:49.500
Oh, man, I mean, who knows what they'll come up with?
01:14:52.020
They've been astounding me now for the last year.
01:14:54.040
Just every day has surprised me with their new extremism.
01:14:57.000
But I think on abortion, I'm trying to be a little bit hopeful, at least.
01:15:00.200
And I've been looking at polls for a really long time.
01:15:02.500
And the latest poll I saw just out yesterday now shows that forty seven percent of Democrats call themselves pro-life,
01:15:09.640
which is a double digit leap from just last month.
01:15:11.860
And I think, you know, the tide is shifting on this issue, especially among younger Democrats.
01:15:15.840
So that's where hopefully hopefully they can turn it around maybe in time.
01:15:20.180
I have a feeling we are going to ban abortion in my lifetime, and I think it could be in the next 10 years.
01:15:27.600
I think there is a massive shift and I think they've overplayed their hands.
01:15:31.380
I've been looking at the Labour Party with the anti-Semitism and the and the communism embrace over in England.
01:15:39.300
And in the last few weeks, we've had seven Labour Party members leave the Labour Party.
01:15:46.720
That would be like, you know, seven in the Progressive Caucus leaving and saying these guys are crazy.
01:15:52.160
When do you think the not talking about Washington, but the average Democrat who is not a crazy, not a socialist, not a baby killer?
01:16:03.040
When do you think or do you think they will hit a hit a point where they say, I can't be with these people anymore?
01:16:09.580
I mean, I used to be a Democrat, but if this is what a Democrat is, I'm not with these people.
01:16:14.480
You know, I would think that we would have reached that point with the Born Alive bill, which is why it's hard to really know for sure where we're going to go from here.
01:16:22.260
But I do think if public opinion polls keep shifting like this, they're going to start paying an electoral cost for being so extreme.
01:16:28.820
And I don't know. You know, I'm glad you're hopeful. I'm not sure how soon it'll be.
01:16:32.460
But I do think over time, science really does back up the pro-life position.
01:16:38.020
She is with the National Review and has done just great reporting on this, and we appreciate your time with us.
01:16:49.640
I've prepared some some thoughts, and I want to share that at the top of next hour.
01:16:56.240
And to be clear, I've prepared an interpretive dance of his remarks.
01:17:02.400
If you're just listening, you don't get the interpretive dance.
01:17:09.440
I think there will be enough behind it to feel through the radio.
01:17:19.880
Hey, now that we're voting to give the president ultimate power of spending, and he can do what he wants if that passes today,
01:17:27.940
and we can kill babies, what do you say we spend the day just thinking about fallout shelter?
01:17:33.400
I mean, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, by the way, did you see yesterday that the special operations, our special ops forces are now all being retrained because they are now going to stop concentrating so much on terror?
01:17:57.140
A huge development that was kind of like nowhere.
01:18:01.700
It's like, can we stop talking about the guy in Chicago for a second?
01:18:06.060
I love how the Democrats, they are like, oh, you know, Michael Cohen's going to testify about what he knows about the crimes of the Trump administration.
01:18:12.180
By the way, he and Trump happens to also be in North Korea or in Vietnam meeting with Kim Jong-un about North Korea.
01:18:19.700
Something that could like, you know, our entire future could be at stake.
01:18:23.400
Is this the right time for a giant circus back here in the United States?
01:18:28.500
I have to tell you, I saw the pictures of him in Vietnam and all the crowds, you know, prepared for Kim Jong-un or ill or whatever his name is.
01:18:44.760
Anyway, my Patriot supply would like to remind you now is the time to prepare yourself when there is not an emergency, when times are pretty decent.
01:18:56.660
Now is the time to, while you do have some money and the pressure is off, go to preparewithglenn.com and get yourself started on emergency food supplies.
01:19:13.020
If nuclear weapons are flying across, you might want to have some.
01:19:18.080
You know, this is going to be a war of ones and zeros.
01:19:20.680
All they have to do is shut down the power for a week.
01:19:25.620
And we're in chaos all around the all around the country and the stores are empty.
01:19:41.940
My Patriot supply right now will have breakfast, lunch and dinner waiting for you up to 25 years.
01:19:49.700
Preparewithglenn.com or call them now at 800-200-7163.
01:20:16.880
I'm opening up the session, Friday morning session.
01:20:20.340
I think either Donald Trump or Mike Pence is in the Friday morning session.
01:20:28.080
Yeah, I think he left for 12 days or something.
01:20:30.240
Yeah, so it's Pence that is going to be going to be speaking for him.
01:20:33.960
And he's been doing a lot on the Venezuela thing, by the way.
01:20:35.980
Pence, he was down in Colombia working on that.
01:20:39.680
Him and Rubio have been very good on that issue, as well as a lot of people have.
01:20:43.720
But they've those two have really seemingly led the way on it.
01:20:46.040
What's happening in Venezuela, I don't think people understand.
01:20:51.800
You have, well, play the Bernie Sanders from last night.
01:20:55.220
Here he is on CNN, refusing to say Maduro is a dictator.
01:21:13.360
Bernie won't call Maduro a dictator is the title of it.
01:21:17.780
Why have you stopped short of calling Maduro of Venezuela a dictator?
01:21:24.820
He, I think it's fair to say that the last election was undemocratic, but there are still
01:21:34.220
democratic operations taking place in that country.
01:21:42.500
He doesn't have a problem with dictators and socialism.
01:21:50.600
He went over to, to Russia, the former Soviet Union, and he propped them up.
01:21:56.360
He doesn't have a problem with a little blood to get things done.
01:22:03.920
And he was not prepared to answer that question.
01:22:09.640
I, uh, uh, well, you know, I, how much time do you need, Bernie?
01:22:39.600
What should an abortion doctor do if a baby survives an abortion and is born?
01:23:01.380
Surely, treat the child like you would any other human.
01:23:05.320
Afraid not, say Democrats, in an overwhelming number.
01:23:17.820
I want to talk to you a little bit about relief factor.
01:23:19.640
We have had so many people with relief factor here in the building that have taken relief factor and have found significant relief.
01:23:29.260
See, the National Institute of Health said in 1997, about 120 million people had at least one painful condition kind of ongoing.
01:23:44.540
58 million more people dealing with pain on a regular basis.
01:23:53.280
And I don't know that, you know, I don't know what that people, I mean, we saw another poll that said two-thirds of people don't even try anymore.
01:24:11.420
They've done enough studies to see that this thing usually kicks in right around three weeks.
01:24:16.260
So if it's not working for you, stop taking it.
01:24:20.760
It's going to cost you $19.95 for the three-week quick start.
01:24:26.520
And they go on to order month after month like I do.
01:24:50.660
It would simply require that medical professionals give the same standard care and medical treatment
01:24:57.180
to newborn babies who've survived and attempted abortion as any other newborn baby would receive
01:25:09.060
It isn't about changing the options available to women.
01:25:12.540
It's just about recognizing that a newborn baby is a newborn baby, period.
01:25:19.660
Yesterday, all but three Democratic senators voted against the Born Alive Abortion Survivors
01:25:29.580
And I'm going to start with them because it took a ton of courage.
01:25:32.740
The first one is Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, the second Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Doug Jones from Alabama.
01:25:43.220
Now, I want to give them credit because they stood against the tide and the block, and I'm sure they got heat.
01:25:49.720
But I will tell you, it really shouldn't have taken so much courage to stand up for a baby, not in the womb, out of the womb.
01:26:00.440
Senator Ben Sasse wrote the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
01:26:12.820
Here is Ben Sasse talking about it after the vote.
01:26:16.360
This is about the most simple thing you can say, which is that a baby is a baby, and they have dignity, and they have worth.
01:26:24.340
It's because they're babies, and so today is a sad day in the United States Senate, but I remain hopeful long-term
01:26:30.320
because ultimately the United States Senate today could have a bunch of people, 44 of our members,
01:26:36.600
decided to try to stick their head in the sand and pretend that a baby isn't a baby.
01:26:40.260
But 320 million Americans are going to have conversations around their kitchen table that are going to be more loving and logical,
01:26:46.860
and in the long term, I think that this is going to head in the right direction.
01:26:51.380
Today is a turning point for the Democratic Party.
01:26:55.260
Yesterday, when they voted for the killing of children, again, beyond what is in the womb.
01:27:09.520
They voted yesterday to not protect the most innocent among us.
01:27:21.380
As I just give you something from Charlotte's Web.
01:27:29.760
Fern said to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
01:27:39.380
But I don't see why he needs an axe, continued Fern, who was only eight.
01:27:47.640
It's very small and weak, and it'll never amount to anything.
01:28:00.680
Miss Arable put a picture of cream on the table.
01:28:10.580
Fern pushed her chair out of the way and ran outdoors.
01:28:13.560
The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime.
01:28:17.020
Fern's sneakers were sopping by the time she caught up with her father.
01:28:29.080
You're going to have to learn to control yourself.
01:28:33.700
This is a matter of life and death, and you're talking about controlling myself?
01:28:37.700
Tears ran down her cheeks as she took hold and tried to pull the axe out of her father's hand.
01:28:46.720
I know more about raising a litter of pigs than you do.
01:28:55.240
The pig couldn't help being born small, could it?
01:28:58.280
If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?
01:29:04.280
Today, if you're a Democrat and you're running for President of the United States, the answer is yes.
01:29:15.720
If you were born small and a weakling that makes trouble, yes, we would kill you.
01:29:41.200
This is the Nazis, the people that voted for Adolf Hitler.
01:29:46.140
They told him this couldn't be done, and so he just went into hiding with it.
01:29:57.520
Because I know God is just, I tremble for my country.
01:30:10.120
When they once again failed to stop slavery, I tremble for my country.
01:30:17.700
In the second inaugural address, Lincoln said this about slavery.
01:30:28.860
But I just want you to listen to the words and tell me that this is not going to have to be said at some point over abortion.
01:30:43.260
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it.
01:30:52.180
These slaves constituted a particular and powerful interest.
01:30:57.700
All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war.
01:31:02.940
To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war,
01:31:11.980
while the government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it.
01:31:20.980
They are willing to fight to the death for death.
01:31:33.600
Neither anticipated that the cause of this conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease.
01:31:42.120
Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less fundamental and astounding.
01:31:47.880
Both read the same Bible, pray to the same God, and each evokes his aid against the other.
01:31:53.100
It may seem strange that any man should dare ask just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of another man's face,
01:32:02.280
but let us not judge that we may not be judged.
01:32:18.860
Woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offensive come.
01:32:26.160
But woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.
01:32:31.780
If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses,
01:32:37.200
and if I may add, if we think that killing children might be one of those offenses with which in the providence of God must need come,
01:32:49.060
but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove,
01:32:56.480
and that he gives to both north and south this terrible woe,
01:33:01.320
as the woe due to those by whom the offense came,
01:33:06.080
shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes
01:33:10.160
which the believers in a living God always ascribe to him?
01:33:18.340
that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
01:33:21.900
Yet, if God wills that it continue until all of the wealth piled up by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil
01:33:32.300
shall be sunk, until every drop of blood drawn by the lash
01:33:39.840
as was said 3,000 years ago, still it must be said today,
01:33:44.680
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
01:33:59.980
Half of America believes that abortion is wrong,
