On this episode of the Glenn Beck Show, host Glenn Beck is joined by Alan Dershowitz, who talks about the unconstitutional act of now taking and trying Donald Trump in the Senate. Also, the growing police state and what he thinks about it.
00:00:22.980So you don't want to miss a second of today's show, including the interview with Alan Dershowitz, who talks specifically about the unconstitutional act of now taking and trying Donald Trump in the Senate.
00:01:49.020I don't know if you I don't know if you saw any of the reports last night, but CNN with the lights on the reflecting pool and MSNBC talking about how just I mean, if I may quote Psalms, Biden's God.
00:02:06.880That was kind of what they said last night.
00:02:11.340But first, I want to start with Donald Trump.
00:02:14.100It is really sad that in his farewell address last night, he had to actually list his accomplishments because nobody in the media has.
00:02:23.720So we wanted to play it because we think Americans should remember that he did a lot of good for this country.
00:02:31.940Now, more than ever, we must unify around our shared values and rise above the partisan rancor and forge our common destiny.
00:02:41.200Four years ago, I came to Washington as the only true outsider ever to win the presidency.
00:02:47.460I had not spent my career as a politician, but as a builder looking at open skylines and imagining infinite possibilities.
00:02:56.500I ran for president because I knew there were towering new summits for America just waiting to be scaled.
00:03:04.140I knew the potential for our nation was boundless as long as we put America first.
00:03:10.920So I left behind my former life and stepped into a very difficult arena, but an arena nevertheless with all sorts of potential if properly done.
00:03:22.380America had given me so much and I wanted to give something back.
00:03:26.500Together with millions of hardworking patriots across this land, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country.
00:03:33.880We also built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
00:03:38.920It was about America first because we all wanted to make America great again.
00:03:44.440We restored the principle that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
00:03:49.420Our agenda was not about right or left.
00:03:52.320It wasn't about Republican or Democrat, but about the good of a nation.
00:04:01.260With the support and prayers of the American people, we achieved more than anyone thought possible.
00:04:07.840Nobody thought we could even come close.
00:04:10.440We passed the largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history.
00:04:15.080We slashed more job-killing regulations than any administration had ever done before.
00:04:21.600We fixed our broken trade deals, withdrew from the horrible Trans-Pacific Partnership and the impossible Paris Climate Accord, renegotiated the one-sided South Korea deal,
00:04:34.180and we replaced NAFTA with the groundbreaking USMCA, that's Mexico and Canada, a deal that's worked out very, very well.
00:04:44.700Also, and very importantly, we imposed historic and monumental tariffs on China, made a great new deal with China.
00:04:53.740But before the ink was even dry, we and the whole world got hit with the China virus.
00:05:01.900Our trade relationship was rapidly changing.
00:05:05.780Billions and billions of dollars were pouring into the US, but the virus forced us to go in a different direction.
00:05:14.020The whole world suffered, but America outperformed other countries economically because of our incredible economy and the economy that we built.
00:05:26.000Without the foundations and footings, it wouldn't have worked out this way.
00:05:31.180We wouldn't have some of the best numbers we've ever had.
00:05:34.300We also unlocked our energy resources and became the world's number one producer of oil and natural gas by far.
00:05:44.300Powered by these policies, we built the greatest economy in the history of the world.
00:05:49.040We reignited America's job creation and achieved record low unemployment for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, women, almost everyone.
00:06:01.060Income soared, wages boomed, the American dream was restored, and millions were lifted from poverty in just a few short years.
00:06:13.780Stock markets set one record after another with 148 stock market highs during this short period of time
00:06:21.680and boosted the retirements and pensions of hardworking citizens all across our nation.
00:06:28.540401Ks are at a level they've never been at before.
00:06:34.200We've never seen numbers like we've seen, and that's before the pandemic and after the pandemic.
00:06:41.640We rebuilt the American manufacturing base, opened up thousands of new factories, and brought back the beautiful phrase, made in the USA.
00:06:51.220To make life better for working families, we doubled the child tax credit, and signed the largest ever expansion of funding for child care and development.
00:07:02.400We joined with the private sector to secure commitments to train more than 16 million American workers for the jobs of tomorrow.
00:07:11.040When our nation was hit with the terrible pandemic, we produced not one, but two vaccines with record-breaking speed, and more will quickly follow.
00:07:21.900They said it couldn't be done, but we did it.
00:07:25.020They called it a medical miracle, and that's what they're calling it right now, a medical miracle.
00:07:31.940Another administration would have taken three, four, five, maybe even up to 10 years to develop a vaccine.
00:07:42.760We grieve for every life lost, and we pledge in their memory to wipe out this horrible pandemic once and for all.
00:07:51.740When the virus took its brutal toll on the world's economy, we launched the fastest economic recovery our country has ever seen.
00:08:00.100We passed nearly $4 trillion in economic relief, saved or supported over 50 million jobs, and slashed the unemployment rate in half.
00:08:10.680These are numbers that our country has never seen before.
00:08:14.460We created choice and transparency in health care, stood up to Big Pharma in so many ways,
00:08:20.340but especially in our effort to get favored nations' clauses added, which will give us the lowest prescription drug prices anywhere in the world.
00:08:31.180We passed VA choice, VA accountability, right to try, and landmark criminal justice reform.
00:08:38.740We confirmed three new justices of the United States Supreme Court.
00:08:42.920We appointed nearly 300 federal judges to interpret our Constitution as written.
00:08:50.460For years, the American people pleaded with Washington to finally secure the nation's borders.
00:08:57.160I am pleased to say we answered that plea and achieved the most secure border in U.S. history.
00:09:02.700We have given our brave border agents and heroic ICE officers the tools they need to do their jobs better than they have ever done before
00:09:12.900and to enforce our laws and keep America safe.
00:09:17.040We proudly leave the next administration with the strongest and most robust border security measures ever put into place.
00:09:24.680This includes historic agreements with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, along with more than 450 miles of powerful new wall.
00:09:36.240We restored American strength at home and American leadership abroad.
00:09:47.980We reclaimed our sovereignty by standing up for America at the United Nations and withdrawing from the one-sided global deals that never served our interest.
00:09:59.120And NATO countries are now paying hundreds of billions of dollars more than when I arrived just a few years ago.
00:10:14.600And perhaps most importantly of all, with nearly $3 trillion, we fully rebuilt the American military, all made in the USA.
00:10:25.480We launched the first new branch of the United States Armed Forces in 75 years, the Space Force.
00:10:32.020And last spring, I stood at Kennedy Space Center in Florida and watched as American astronauts return to space on American rockets for the first time in many, many years.
00:10:44.600We revitalized our alliances and rallied the nations of the world to stand up to China like never before.
00:10:51.740We obliterated the ISIS caliphate and ended the wretched life of its founder and leader, al-Baghdadi.
00:10:58.060We stood up to the oppressive Iranian regime and killed the world's top terrorist, Iranian butcher, Qasem Soleimani.
00:11:06.940We recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
00:11:14.060As a result of our bold diplomacy and principled realism, we achieved a series of historic peace deals in the Middle East.
00:12:10.820They they know things like the border security is true.
00:12:15.760And I think it's interesting that he brought that up as we have Honduras and Hondurans, thousands of them on the way to the border, ready to claim their amnesty, which Joe Biden says he will give 11 million people amnesty in his first week.
00:12:34.860You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:50.800It's finally 2021 with all of your worries behind you in that stink we called 2020.
00:12:57.080And now what do we have to look forward to a new year?
00:13:00.520Why not start it off right with a new grill?
00:13:05.440It is the ultimate in grilling with real wood.
00:13:08.940You will grill more often and you will make the best food you've ever made.
00:13:13.240Plus, you can spend more quality time with your family and friends while your grill is doing all of the work because you can monitor it from an app on your phone.
00:13:20.800Imagine cooking every meal to perfection every time, whether it's grilling, smoking or even baking.
00:17:03.320When George W. Bush was in office, be very careful about domestic terror and the and the Patriot Act and how it can be used by one side or another to claim its enemies are domestic terrorists.
00:17:23.240Is anything going to stop this madness?
00:17:26.500Well, let me tell you, I got a call from a friend of mine in Israel who was so insulted that people used the word terrorism to describe what happened in the Capitol.
00:17:34.580My friend in Israel says, we know what terrorism is.
00:17:37.620It's going to a school in Malot and murdering 34 children in cold blood.
00:18:05.200The Department of not an insurrection or a revolution.
00:18:07.560The guy who was testifying yesterday to be confirmed by the Senate for Department of Homeland Security said his number one issue is going to be to root out domestic terrorism.
00:19:54.600And they're talking now about the fairness doctrine to get rid of people like me, who they say are inciting violence and domestic terrorism.
00:20:19.420But the people in power said to private citizens, don't have any association with anybody who's red, pink, anybody who we accuse and think is not a core American.
00:20:41.500We're seeing it now on university campuses where they're trying to rescind the degrees of students who they don't like because they were associated with the Trump administration.
00:20:52.300They're trying to rescind my emeritus professorship, which I earned for 50 years of teaching because I defended the president on the floor of the Senate, which was a great privilege for me to do as a constitutional lawyer.
00:21:05.300And there's no stopping them unless we stop them now, because they're our future leaders.
00:23:38.380It is a very strange scene, but it's also complicated by the coronavirus where everybody is social distancing six feet apart, but they're all hugging each other, shaking hands and when wearing masks anyway.
00:24:42.900And when Lincoln gave his second inaugural address, which is less time to, you know, buying the wounds of this nation and and care for the wounded and care for the widow with malice toward none charity toward all.
00:25:00.200John Wilkes Booth was just probably about 30 yards behind him.
00:25:05.980And it drove him crazy because John Wilkes Booth hated him and wanted wanted the South to rise up again.
00:25:21.040And he was convinced that if the president were killed, it would it would get the South to rise up and start the war again and fight on.
00:25:33.160But on the inauguration day of his his second inauguration, John Wilkes Booth, who was a very famous actor, kind of our Leonardo DiCaprio of the time, very famous actor that had been in performing plays in New York and Boston and Washington, some of the biggest cities.
00:27:01.260And after he finished with Malice toward none and charity for all, it was the first attempt on his life.
00:27:08.640Wilkes was so enraged he couldn't control it and he was going to kill him with his bare hands and he came around that that little gate there at the top and came down the stairs as Lincoln was finishing up and he's almost running and he's trying to intercept Lincoln as he leaves.
00:27:31.940And he was going to really kill him with his own hands there in the crowd.
00:27:36.920The problem is he was running down the stairs and he slipped and tripped and fell and he fell kind of just beyond Lincoln.
00:27:47.580So kind of grabbed Lincoln from behind, but missed him and he was down on the ground.
00:27:53.720Police officer lifts him up because the police officer was in between Lincoln now and Booth.
00:27:59.480He picks him up and he's like, hey, and the police officer at the time, I think, knew this was an attempt to get the president.
00:28:08.200But as soon as he saw John Wilkes Booth's face, the police officer knew him, knew he was famous and knew that a famous actor would never do something like that to the president.
00:28:20.780And so he said, oh, my gosh, Mr. Booth, are you OK?
00:28:24.520He's like, yes, yes, I just I tripped.
00:29:21.400The the surrender happened and the the white flag actually was a white and red checked dishcloth.
00:29:30.840And we actually at our Mercury Museum have a piece of that surrender flag again at just just a dishcloth that you probably have one like it at your house.
