00:02:23.200 slash blaze or 1-800 a patriot is the place to go it was late on february 5th and congress was in

00:02:33.520 session they were working on the kansas territory pro-slavery constitution

00:02:39.020 and things were heating up now remember just a few years ago there had already been a beat down in

00:02:47.500 the senate when a senator stood up and said the south is sleeping with a harlot they are sleeping with 0.98

00:02:58.380 a whore of slavery well that upset a congressman who heard about that somebody somebody was saying 1.00

00:03:07.940 this about the south how dare you sir say these things about the glory of the south and so he 0.99

00:03:15.480 crossed chambers and came in and he beat the man almost to death okay it was it was quite a it was

00:03:24.640 quite a show nobody stopped him he took his cane and he beat him in the head until he was almost dead

00:03:31.120 the only thing that saved him was that little jimmy stewart senator desk that he that they all sit

00:03:38.840 behind and he crawled underneath it and it couldn't be moved and that was stopping uh the blows to the

00:03:46.240 head he was out for about three years and never really truly recovered but he had to go out uh and uh

00:03:54.980 convalesce for about three years what's amazing about this story is no one in the senate asked for

00:04:03.680 the perpetrator to be arrested and in fact the democrats took pieces of that cane and they made

00:04:11.800 little teeny canes out of the wood and some out of silver and they put them on chains that they wore

00:04:19.360 around their neck that basically said you come after the south you come after to slavery and we'll beat 0.91

00:04:26.400 you to death they were proud of it all right so four years later they're in session and now they're

00:04:33.920 talking about slavery again and uh the uh the south and the southern democrats were were pushing slavery

00:04:43.860 on to kansas and things started to boil over more than 30 members started joining in on what became

00:04:52.600 a melee it was about two o'clock in the morning and they started insulting each other and then somebody

00:05:00.100 threw a punch at one and then the other threw it back and it became this melee and this is the this is

00:05:06.800 my favorite first of all the sergeant of arms you know the guy who comes in mr speaker i hate this

00:05:13.980 the president of the united states and everybody yeah he has a mace and i don't even know stew does he

00:05:22.380 carry the mace around i don't know the answer to that no well you would recognize it it's this do you

00:05:29.880 know what it is have you ever seen it no okay this is a tradition comes from the 1800s like 1840 they

00:05:36.200 decided to go all regal on us and uh and so they made this mace and it's it's 13 wooden rods and then

00:05:45.060 i think in silver it's bound together like a fascis uh and so it's it's bound together with silver then

00:05:54.180 it has a globe on the top and a giant silver eagle and so it's he carries this around like i can hit you

00:06:02.380 with this at any time and i can also have you arrested because i've got this big stick thing

00:06:07.820 so the sergeant of arms he grabbed the mace in this melee and he started swinging the mace

00:06:16.060 uh you're not really actually supposed to swing it and he was swinging the mace somebody else they

00:06:22.860 were they were punching each other about 30 of them punching each other one guy this is my favorite i

00:06:29.760 would love to see this recreated a um a guy named cadwaller washburn uh it's a solid name right there

00:06:40.360 cadwaller washburn yeah i'm cad baller washburn uh he was a northerner he was a republican or uh

00:06:49.060 yeah i think he was a republican yeah wisconsin republican called uh cadwater uh cadwaller washburn

00:06:56.700 he grabs one of the democrats he was a democrat from mississippi his name was william barksdale

00:07:04.260 and he grabs him and grabs his hairpiece and rips it off this is one of the most satisfying moments

00:07:14.780 i can possibly imagine imagine somebody in washington dc they're having a brawl and a famous politician

00:07:24.160 with which had to be an infamous hairpiece somebody reaches and rips it off his head and he's bald

00:07:32.400 how satisfying would that be needs to happen and more more get togethers in washington it does it

00:07:37.600 needs to happen tonight it needs to happen tonight i'm going to be up in the balcony and i'm going to

00:07:42.620 be going cadwaller washburn this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:07:51.020 stew do you remember when george our agent

00:08:05.920 uh went through a period of his life where he thought he should have a toupee

00:08:13.540 i don't know i don't you don't remember this no really no wow okay so george so you know george he's

00:08:23.500 he's bald as a cue ball he's just got the hair right around the strip okay he's been bald since like

00:08:30.780 1971 and everybody knows that he's bald he comes into the office one day and uh he he goes into

00:08:41.640 all the management and i'm on the air and somebody comes into the office and says do not say anything

00:08:47.980 george is wearing a toupee and i'm like what george is wearing a toupee well maybe he's wearing it as a

00:08:56.740 joke no he's not we called he's he's he's wearing a toupee we called okay so like a central information

00:09:13.800 and i'm sitting in this meeting and i'm like i can't i mean i just i have to say something but i

00:09:20.680 don't i don't just in case it's a joke will about 10 days go by and no one has said anything about

00:09:29.620 this and uh and i said before he was coming in i said we we have to tell him about the toupee because

00:09:37.360 it's ridiculous and he's serious and uh so there was like no no i'm not gonna say anything i said i

00:09:43.580 will so he sits down in my office and i said george i gotta talk to you about the hair piece he said 0.92

00:09:50.340 what i said the hair what are you talking about george you've been bald completely bald until last 0.85

00:10:00.500 friday you i mean we all have noticed what what do you what do you think i think it looks ridiculous

00:10:08.360 why why are you doing this and he said well thank you for saying something you know nobody would say

00:10:16.020 anything to me and i i it was just a joke it was just a joke and i could tell that it wasn't

00:10:22.020 and it was him just going through a time in his life i mean guys women don't understand what

00:10:28.520 what hair losing your hair does to you it freaks you out and apparently all the way up until you're in

00:10:37.820 your 70s it continues to freak you out so he took the hair piece off but anyway i i brought that story

00:10:44.980 up because i thought you remembered he looked ridiculous in it and that was in like 2010 when 0.55

00:10:51.020 hair pieces were good what did hair pieces look like in 1850 yeah that's like you slaughter a beaver 0.60

00:10:58.620 on the way into the capital and you just throw it on your head that's that's about as good as it

00:11:02.860 could have possibly been skin yeah it'd be like a coonskin calf i mean what did that look like 0.56

00:11:09.260 could you imagine how ridiculous somebody looked in one of those back then i think that's bad think of 0.59

00:11:14.860 how it smelled i mean nothing could have smelled good in that era imagine a i mean either a dead

00:11:21.380 animal or a bunch of other humans hair kind of just worn on a sweaty head with no air conditioning 0.67

00:11:28.740 oh i hate to i hate to bring this up i hate to bring this up but uh do you know that in medieval times

00:11:36.420 urine was a prized possession urine was collected uh and and and i hate to even i mean but it's true

00:11:46.520 they used to think that it had purifying properties and so they would wash their hair in it and they

00:11:54.640 would like brush their teeth if they brush their teeth with it is this true it's honest to god true no

00:12:02.460 honest to god true shockingly the life expectancy was like 32 uh which no that was old age okay that

00:12:10.700 was old age i you know what you can say what you want you can say how horribly oppressed you are and

00:12:17.340 all these things you ain't brushing your teeth and washing your hair in urine man be happy be happy

00:12:23.100 maybe i think that's i think that's how trump starts the state of the union today hey look there's some

00:12:26.820 things you don't like but you're not brushing your hair and you're brushing your teeth and washing

00:12:30.740 your hair and urine so be happy all right good night that's the state of the union it's pretty

00:12:34.980 strong thanks good night good night everybody i i think that's exactly right we'll get to what you

00:12:41.380 should watch for uh tonight in the state of union what we think is going to happen coming up in just

00:12:46.180 a second also ben sass on his uh uh is banning of infanticide an incredible story what an extremist he

00:12:56.180 is i can't believe he's asking to ban it completely i mean no options for infanticide not even one you

00:13:02.340 have you have the baby you can't let it die or kill it come on now not even in an extreme circumstance

00:13:10.180 you're late for an appointment uh okay jesus thanks a lot for dropping by

00:13:15.620 the best of the glenn beck program

00:13:20.180 hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us

00:13:30.980 on itunes if you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe

00:13:36.900 on itunes thanks and i want to play uh this audio uh this is a democratic representative

00:13:44.740 that has a new idea to help the public health listen how they want to now tax your ammunition 0.59

00:13:54.500 currently ammunition is taxed at the same rate as other products but we want to increase it by 50

00:14:00.740 because we see this as a prevention measure it wouldn't apply to law enforcement or to military

00:14:08.100 but for example if someone were to buy a 50 cartridge box of ammunition which goes for about

00:14:14.500 10 dollars it would increase the price to 15 dollars we see this as a public health measure

00:14:21.460 similar to what we've done in the state of connecticut with increasing the tax on cigarettes

00:14:25.780 when we increase that tax we've seen a reduction in use and so we want to continue connecticut's legacy

00:14:32.100 of being a leader on preventing and addressing gun violence and we see this as another step forward

00:14:37.700 in that direction uh interesting connecticut's a leader on that interesting that the probably the most

00:14:42.900 famous mass shooting did occur in your state i don't know if you're aware of this uh i don't know if

00:14:47.780 your your measures for preventing gun violence have worked all that well uh i don't know if anyone's

00:14:52.340 noticed that this isn't if if this isn't uh going around the second amendment that's all this is that's all this is

00:15:02.420 your ammunition is already very expensive very expensive you want to be a good shooter you have

00:15:11.780 to shoot a lot you want to be somebody who is sloppy who's going to get somebody killed go ahead make

00:15:19.620 ammunition unaffordable because you can't go out unless you have i target pro which you should have

00:15:25.860 look it up um if you don't if if you're not at the range shooting a lot of ammunition you're going

00:15:33.860 to be a danger to yourself and everybody around you so their solution is tax ammunition yeah make it

00:15:40.660 unaffordable for people this is one of those things that they say all the time it's like the ar-15 is

00:15:44.740 too easy to shoot it's too easy it's like well what the hell do you want it to be i mean you want 0.56

00:15:50.180 it to be hard to shoot you want if someone has to protect themselves you want them to what have

00:15:54.260 to do a handstand to fire the thing you want to fire erratically so it doesn't hit the target and

00:15:59.620 instead hits innocent bystanders what do you what exactly do you want of course you want the thing

00:16:03.460 to be easy to shoot it's the whole point you want to be able to hit the target you're aiming for

00:16:07.380 and obviously yes there are people that have used it uh in terrible ways but that is not the

00:16:12.980 overwhelming majority of people who uh who bought millions of these things that aren't used in in

00:16:18.180 terrible crimes uh it's it's such a bizarre thing to want it to be used more erratically

00:16:23.620 think think about how extreme congress is going to become uh in the next two years and how extreme

00:16:32.580 if they win how extreme they're going to be i mean nobody in the remember they used to call us

00:16:38.740 extremists because we stood for the constitution because we stood for the constitution we were

00:16:45.540 extremists and haters of the u.s government work that math out in your head but you've never heard

00:16:54.340 anyone on cnn or msnbc or any place else new york times talk about how the democratic party has been

00:17:02.580 hijacked by absolute extremists i mean they despise the constitution look at what they do to it

00:17:10.900 every time one of their little uh rights is limited they get so upset about it i mean here's a

00:17:16.660 your your right to bear arms shall not be infringed and what do they do well it's okay to infringe it 1.00

00:17:21.940 when we really don't like the stuff like bump stocks for example or if we don't if we think they're bad

00:17:26.660 then we can infringe and and sure we're not going to infringe your right to bear arms but we're going to

00:17:31.380 infringe your right to be able to actually purchase the things that go in the guns uh the the ammunition

00:17:38.660 this is the same thing glenn they did with the partial birth abortion ban which was passed and

00:17:43.860 signed it is it is against the law to to uh to do a partial birth abortion so instead instead of 0.99

00:17:50.980 partially birthing the baby and then killing it they kill it inside the womb a day or two beforehand 0.80

00:17:57.140 and let it die and then deliver the baby dead instead of partially alive therefore they can get around 0.52

00:18:04.020 it they're just skirting the law we all know what these laws are supposed to do we know what the

00:18:08.180 second amendment's supposed to do they're just finding ways to get around it and acting as if

00:18:13.540 they're you know acting in a legal and responsible way they're not and it's all because they never get

00:18:19.700 any pushback on these things i mean can you imagine if they passed an environmental law right that said

00:18:25.300 uh no uh you know coal factories or no coal plants and what they found is they they you know republicans

00:18:33.380 started building coal processing plants on one side of the street and coal burning plants on the

00:18:38.020 other side of the street and found out some way to get around the law there'd be a 300 page new york

00:18:43.380 times investigation about how they're skirting the spirit of the law and yet they do this over and

00:18:48.740 over and over again and get zero pushback from the media there was a ban passed on partial birth

00:18:54.420 abortions a ban they're illegal and yet they're still doing them and getting defense from one of the two

00:18:59.540 major parties i think it's inexplicable whenever whenever that law is on their side of things man

00:19:05.540 they just don't care about it at all on top of that they are always the ones who are telling us we're

00:19:12.100 not going to do that we're not going to use tax dollars to fund abortions well where is that one

00:19:19.460 because we're funding planned parenthood how about this one uh you know we are we are not going for

00:19:26.020 single-payer health care or medicare for all we are just going for obamacare well what about that

00:19:34.340 one i mean they the people who hate the slippery slope argument always hate it because it is a

00:19:42.500 slippery slope and they know it it's like they hate the use of the word don't use the word baby use

00:19:48.900 the word fetus why because you know it's a baby and the only way you can win is through deceit

00:19:58.100 now i'm not saying that the conservatives you know aren't deceitful at times sure everybody has bad

00:20:04.260 guys but i don't know if you've noticed your party has been hijacked by people who have taken the exact

00:20:12.980 opposite opinion of the things that you believe in the republican party do a lot of things that i

00:20:19.220 really don't like that's why i'm not a republican but i will tell you this they haven't turned into a

00:20:27.140 group of murderous thugs and the democratic leadership is starting to look an awful lot like murderous

00:20:35.140 thugs they're starting to look like uh you know uh uh you know black shirts they're starting to look 0.96

00:20:45.300 an awful lot like the thugs that take over in revolutions it is really truly amazing how fast

00:20:54.340 they have they took off the mask and it has been a just a uh a straight you know triple diamond black

00:21:02.900 uh black diamond uh slope down into off this mountain they are just going crazy we now have

00:21:11.380 what 10 democratic candidates in i believe for 2020 already we'll probably get another 10 to 15 before

00:21:17.220 this thing is over the litmus test for them right now is every single one of them basically needs to

00:21:23.540 have any chance to win has to support medicare for all and medicare for all is it is a proposal that

00:21:29.380 was completely insane just a few years ago bernie sanders support proposed medicare for all in 2013

00:21:38.500 and got zero co-sponsors of the democrats none of them were with him but no they all were with him

00:21:45.300 but i'm going back to your point that you made earlier they were all with him but it wasn't

00:21:50.420 politically expedient to say that now it is now that the masks have come off now they can say yeah you're 0.85

00:21:57.060 damn right i'm a socialist you damn right i'm for abortion at any time even after birth i'm fine 1.00

00:22:03.780 with it if we try to kill that sucker and that sucker came out and it's still alive we're going 1.00

00:22:08.500 to neglect it or we'll kill it i'll strangle it with my own hands if i have to that's the kind of 1.00

00:22:13.540 mentality we're dealing with now they are now at the point to where they're saying we're just going to 0.69

00:22:18.180 make uh ammunition unaffordable they'll do anything and once they once they tip a little bit farther i can

00:22:26.980 guarantee you they will all start to say out loud we got to go for guns we just have to i'm sorry but

00:22:33.460 the bill of rights doesn't mean anything anymore the second amendment doesn't mean anything and it's

00:22:38.100 scary because they're already doing that with the fourth amendment uh i contend the the third amendment

00:22:44.100 as well with all of the wiretapping and everything else i mean it's there's two things that can happen

00:22:49.540 here either they're going to move so far left and then when it comes back to a general the american

00:22:53.540 people democrats are gonna be like whoa they're way too crazy or god forbid they might embrace it

00:22:58.500 because they hate trump so much they might embrace these sorts of things and then we are in a totally

00:23:02.660 different country so we want to go to cbs confronting cory booker on medicare for all and also tell you the

00:23:08.340 latest polls uh from the american people they're frightening because democrat republicans are starting

00:23:13.540 to go you know what higher taxes not such a bad idea this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:25:04.820 anywhere between 60 and 90 minutes to make his right but doesn't next year but doesn't he need to make the

00:25:11.060 case that it was congress that shut down the government not him i mean it was his and he said

00:25:18.020 i'll i'll take the blame for it but he expected somebody to negotiate and he was willing to negotiate

00:25:25.220 you know okay not a wall it's a fence they were not willing to budget all yeah you know the the

00:25:30.980 absolute bizarreness here's if i were steven miller writing his speech right now i would i would appeal to

00:25:37.220 people's common sense this is a phrase you used to use i don't know if you still use it you should

00:25:43.380 because you are brimming with common sense five billion dollars on a 4.2 trillion dollar budget

00:25:51.620 comes to about if you had a hundred dollar bill it comes to about 10 cents so if you've got a

00:25:55.140 hundred dollar bill in your pocket are you willing to protect your hundred dollar bill

00:25:58.420 by spending 10 cents to guarantee to protect that hundred dollar bill now hundred dollar bill

00:26:03.300 represents our 20 trillion dollar economy open up the southern border open up our any of our borders

00:26:09.460 the world will flood in and you will ruin our economy you will just destroy our country you'll do

00:26:16.580 to us what has been done to europe and if and guess what if you made a mistake and the 10 cents didn't

00:26:22.980 work you still have 99 and 90 cents in your pocket but if you don't do it you might have the whole

00:26:30.020 hundred dollars pickpocketed right from you you think he'll break it down like that i would if i

00:26:35.060 were him i don't know if he will i mean he's look he's a deal maker and he's he's a um he walks tall

00:26:40.740 and carries a big stick so my guess is it'll be along the lines of hey i've tried to make a deal with you

00:26:46.420 we shut down the government i gave nancy pelosi and chuck schumer an opportunity to come back to the

00:26:50.740 table make another deal you haven't done it i'll have to do what i have to do my guess is he'll he'll come a

00:26:56.420 little harder in your face at the democrats and then put it on them if if they shut down again

00:27:03.060 you know mitch mcconnell had a really good line he said you there's there's very little education in

00:27:08.020 the second kick of a mule the republicans should see that and i think trump will see that and says

00:27:14.020 and say look we we have to do something have to do something i mean glenn you you've been around a long

00:27:20.020 time to find five billion dollars in a 4.2 trillion dollar budget is nothing it's it's it's it's it's

00:27:26.900 a rounding error in probably five different agencies

00:27:31.700 when you talk about the state of the union you would have to include something near and dear to

00:27:37.060 you the opioid crisis is it's getting worse and worse we found uh fentanyl enough fentanyl

00:27:45.940 to kill 57 million americans we found it coming across our border just uh last week

00:27:54.020 so we have to talk about the opioid crisis there's he will i i in fact i've uh emailed back and forth

00:28:00.660 with steven miller the opioids crisis and fentanyl and you know the whole southern border drug issue

00:28:06.500 will be a big part of that speech and they've they've assured me that um there's a new kind of

00:28:13.300 talking point going around right now and i think it's legitimate as someone who's lost my only son

00:28:18.420 to to this horrible horrible drug weaponizing fentanyl a suitcase filled with fentanyl can kill

00:28:25.700 the whole city can kill the whole city so imagine if you can get that into some sort of into the air

00:28:30.900 supply or into the the food or water supply they're talking about weaponizing fentanyl i think trump will

00:28:36.980 talk about why another reason why we need the southern border tied up back to the five billion 0.61

00:28:42.820 five point seven billion i think the ask for 2019 by by congress is 27 or 28 billion dollars in foreign

00:28:52.020 aid to countries like jordan well to israel as well but afghanistan to central america they we want

00:28:59.460 they're asking for our government our taxpayers to come come forth with 28 billion dollars to help

00:29:05.300 other people out likely securing their own borders so i think that he needs to make all these cases

00:29:10.820 tonight and let the american people you know do what glenn beck does use your common sense and

00:29:17.620 in common sense is give him give the guy the money so do you do you have confidence i i have um

00:29:28.180 you remember when they used to call us extremists because we stood for the constitution and the tea

00:29:33.140 party they were government hating constitutional uh crazies and they were so they were hijacking the

00:29:40.580 republican party you couldn't be more far off the mark than that statement the democrats have become

00:29:48.420 such extremists when yesterday ben sass tries to get the senate to you know stand up and say hey we're

00:29:55.860 not for infanticide they won't even they won't even be on record for that they wouldn't even stand up for

00:30:01.620 that vote it's amazing it's amazing you have to bring a bill that says we will not kill a live born human

00:30:08.020 being they're also bring a bill to outline that that's insanity they're also talking about a wealth tax

00:30:15.540 of 70 percent or more um you have you have socialists now openly going against the free market

00:30:26.100 i'm is who's mounting the campaign to do the sales job for the free market uh you know you and i've

00:30:35.620 spoken about this in the past it's it's young people right now are looking up to um aoc alexandria

00:30:42.900 uh ocasio cortez who is a out an outright socialist she calls herself a democrat socialist but if you're

00:30:48.820 going to pose a 70 percent wealth tax and if you're going to propose um end of the free market

00:30:55.380 billionaires should be illegal i mean is that the most insane thing you've ever heard so so in other

00:31:01.060 words at what point does it come millionaires should be illegal or what point does it become everyone

00:31:05.700 should have the same thing that's communism socialism right that's what they're proposing so but young

00:31:11.540 people glenn i go back to this young people probably under the age of say 27 they've been voting for

00:31:19.620 eight years seven eight years nine years um have never experienced like a really bad time they've

00:31:25.540 never experienced the great depression they probably don't recall the great recession of 2005 six seven

00:31:33.220 and so they think well yeah go ahead let's just let's get free stuff free stuff's good we can afford

00:31:37.700 free stuff look at this country we're the most powerful wealthiest country on the planet free

00:31:42.340 stuff is good they don't know the other side of free stuff when your economy goes into a a downturn i

00:31:47.460 saw 1989 stock market crash people jumping out of buildings in new york city saw it know it i was there

00:31:53.780 for the 2005 crash where people were going we'll pay you u.s government you don't get interest rate

00:32:00.980 to give them your money we were saying i'll pay you government to hide my money because i don't

00:32:06.900 think it's going to be worth anything at this rate it was insane the world was upside down

00:32:11.940 goldman sachs was about to go bankrupt uh-huh warren buffett stepped in and put a five billion dollar

00:32:17.060 buffer on on goldman sachs saved goldman sachs if goldman sachs goes after lehman went after bear

00:32:24.340 stearns went after countrywide it was it was company after company falling goldman goes i'm telling you

00:32:29.620 the world financial system would have broken at that moment i don't know where it would have

00:32:33.620 bounced from i don't know how deep it would have gone but they saved goldman they saved you know

00:32:38.420 hate them if you want but warren buffett saved literally the fine financial system with a five

00:32:44.420 billion dollar uh lifeline to goldman sachs you and i have talked about the economy for a very long time

00:32:51.780 and the economy is in a really weird place we we you have cycles so you're gonna have a recession

00:32:59.220 we should have had a recession during the obama years and we just kept you know the fed just kept

00:33:04.180 propping it up propping it up propping it up the fed's not really propping anything up anymore

00:33:09.140 um and we're we're due for a recession but worse is the cdo problem uh the mortgage uh the mortgage

00:33:19.540 systems the car loans that are out there the same bad stuff that caused oh eight has only been made much

00:33:27.220 much much worse are you concerned about no no i'm not because of the the things we were overextended

00:33:36.740 as an economy as a country individually in 2005 six and seven and eight um but there are things in

00:33:45.780 there you talked about cdo uh credit derivative um assets but we we put in place things and again you

00:33:53.700 you and i don't like more government but these things happen to be smart we put in place ways

00:33:58.580 that companies like goldman sachs of the world who leverage the leverage so in other words everyone

00:34:03.220 was leveraged by borrowing right so individuals companies we all borrow so we're we're at a

00:34:07.380 negative leverage these outside groups went and said i'll package these things and sell them at a

00:34:12.660 discount so now there's leverage upon the leverage and they did it so many they daisy chained it so many

00:34:17.380 times that there was literally one let's say one finger's worth of asset in there and the whole

00:34:23.060 body's worth of leverage in there and when the system started to crumble it all fell apart we've

00:34:27.380 now put rules into place where that they can't do that anymore so i think yes we are extended but we're

00:34:32.820 not deriving instruments on credit extensions cdo problem was about 60 or 70 trillion if i remember

00:34:41.540 right it is now over 160 trillion but we can't there were you could be a wall street player and and

00:34:49.940 and leverage literally hundreds of millions of dollars of mortgages with no asset behind you right 0.98

00:34:56.660 can't do name no the bank the banks now need to show that they're not overextended on their ass on 0.74

00:35:01.860 their balance sheets which is a good thing in one minute you tell me the state of the union today 0.80

00:35:11.540 much improved long way to go i don't need a moment much improved long way to go i think he's gonna

00:35:19.140 i think barring any sort of major meltdown in the economy i think you're gonna have

00:35:24.340 six more five more states of the union under donald trump state of the union tonight hosted by eric

00:35:31.300 bowling here uh in washington dc we're gonna be in the trump hotel after the state of the union

00:35:36.820 in the hotel bars never happened before i know i know i gotta watch this it's all on uh all online

00:35:44.580 we're taking the paywall down as eric said so blaze tv uh you can go to blaze tv.com you can also watch

00:35:52.340 it on youtube and uh also on our facebook page tonight commercial free starts at 7 30 eastern time

00:35:59.300 thanks eric

00:36:19.860 in the constitution it says from time to time the president

00:36:25.140 shall um address congress and it could be in letter form or any way he finds uh suitable

00:36:31.860 uh and um make them aware of the state of the union so if i were going to be the president of

00:36:40.500 the united states and i seriously had to think about this i would start with what are our duties

00:36:45.860 as government what are the things we can affect what is the state of our union and i would start by

00:36:52.020 explaining that we have a constitution that we've all signed an oath to that's the only reason why

00:36:57.060 we're here is to protect and defend the constitution and that is something that we established to um

00:37:02.980 create a more perfect union a more perfect union not a perfect union we're never going to get this

00:37:09.380 right but are we moving in the right direction and it and the constitution gave us certain things so

00:37:16.180 let's go through the state of the union we're supposed to establish justice have we done that is it

00:37:24.020 justice is it equal justice because now there is social justice and perhaps social justice should be left

00:37:30.900 to the churches and equal justice which is the job of the state we are to promote domestic tranquility

00:37:39.060 america has never been more anxious and we're anxious because of washington dc provide for the

00:37:47.540 common defense we got a great military best in the world however that's not the only defense we're

00:37:53.460 worried about what about providing for the common defense on our borders what about what about the

00:38:00.580 common defense with china and ai and and the 5g network and how they are infiltrating our our country and our 1.00

00:38:11.060 companies and they are stealing us blind what about russia lots of investigations going on about russia but

00:38:19.380 they all revolve around me go ahead investigate all you want but has anybody looked what is russia really

00:38:27.060 doing whether i'm the president or the next person is the president we are under attack are we providing

00:38:33.780 for the common defense promote the general welfare promote so are we promoting those things are we saying

00:38:45.380 only we can do those things how have we promoted the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty

00:38:55.620 for us and our posterity boy i could spend some time on abortion on that one but i'd also like to say

00:39:04.500 we now have members of congress that do not believe in the free market system

00:39:11.220 how are we promoting and securing the blessings of liberty when we have people that want to change

00:39:18.260 our system of government into a system that is known for its oppression of people

00:39:25.860 i'd say the state of the union is tenuous tonight that's how i'd start john miller who is uh our um

00:39:36.020 our white house correspondent uh uh and uh does his own show on the blaze tv and gives you a roundup and

00:39:43.060 a look at what's really happening in washington hello john how are you good how you doing glenn good i don't

00:39:49.380 think the president's gonna say any of those things tonight no i think you're right about that i think what

00:39:54.740 he'll likely do is talk about the state of the economy which is obviously still on fire you were

00:39:59.460 just talking about that in the last segment but uh it's interesting because the state of the economy

00:40:03.860 is great but it should feel like the roaring 20s or it should even feel like the 80s in terms

00:40:08.100 of the national spirit it absolutely does not no um and i think that is because we are so divided

00:40:14.020 and we're tenuous we're tenuous we're not sure this is going to last because of spending

00:40:20.100 is completely out of control in our own homes and also uh nationally it's out of control and

00:40:26.740 you have this fight about taxes going up to 70 percent yep i mean you don't know which direction

00:40:34.180 we're going and it's interesting because the president is calling for unity tonight and it's

00:40:38.500 a matter of how do you unite with people who believe what the modern left believes in i mean how

00:40:43.700 do you unite with people who believe that life doesn't start not at conception or even the third

00:40:47.380 trimester but when the baby's in the car on the way home and the mother's mental health is considered

00:40:52.660 uh fit i mean how do you compromise with people who are literally saying to you we're going to keep

00:40:57.380 the government shut down unless you do what we want or people who bring as their guest to the state of 1.00

00:41:02.500 the union uh the person the uh agitator who stopped flake in the hallway or the people the illegal

00:41:09.380 immigrants or the doc recipients so you know the president obviously does his own uh uh dividing on

00:41:15.860 twitter occasionally he you know has to do the political fisticuffs but when he's calling for

00:41:20.420 unity and the democrats are saying we don't really want to unite with you we want to shove it in your

00:41:24.340 face i don't know how you heal that divide it's that you said uh promote domestic tranquility i don't

00:41:29.380 know how you do that with people who are doing just that give me and give me a ranking give me a grade

00:41:35.700 for of the of the constitutional responsibilities of this government first to uh uh to provide

00:41:45.780 equal justice i would say c why i would say c because you have i mean you look at what happened

00:41:54.660 to kavanaugh i mean the justice system i mean forget the actual just the fact that the courts are out of

00:41:58.980 control forget the fact that the courts have completely taken over uh what they're supposed to

00:42:03.540 be doing and have outgrown uh how the constitution sees them i mean the national spirit in terms of

00:42:08.980 how you see uh people are completely guilty until proven innocent you saw that with the covington kids

00:42:14.340 you saw that with kavanaugh you see that they i mean it's just a mentality that you don't have to have

00:42:19.060 any evidence as long as we believe it to be true believe all women that's the motto on the left unless 0.99

00:42:23.540 of course that guy is a democrat like the uh lieutenant governor of virginia then you don't have to believe

00:42:27.860 him so here's the problem with this um the government i think has actually gotten better on

00:42:32.500 justice with the justice reform that just happened um and the justice that you're talking about is

00:42:39.380 really coming you would say is coming from us and the media but it's not it's actually coming from

00:42:45.140 political organizations sure it's not government imposed social justice but is the media the washington

00:42:50.900 post is absolutely helping them it is it is um okay so justice how can they even claim it's part of

00:42:59.140 their job promote domestic tranquility you know i don't know so how does government actually do that

00:43:08.180 i mean they can they can try to promote it but at the end of the day it is up to we the people to do

00:43:12.260 that and that's why i mean the preamble starts with we the people of the united states to promote it

00:43:16.820 right but they establish the constitution for the government to do these things in order to create

00:43:23.780 a more perfect union so you notice it says promote domestic tranquility that just means to me pet the

00:43:31.540 cat don't do anything that is disrupting if if everybody is wants to be disrupted then you just have

00:43:39.860 to be a leader and step in and go we're gonna make it it's gonna be okay i know everybody's arguing with

00:43:45.940 each other right now but that's not what they're doing and i would give probably an f to everyone

00:43:51.060 on that i mean everyone plays their role from government down to the media down to you know

00:43:55.220 people on twitter and facebook yep everyone everyone that yep um provide for the common defense i think

00:44:00.820 pretty good except the board is a disaster and that is you know that's the primary function you

00:44:05.620 know many would say that's the main function of a military is to protect the borders here at home

00:44:10.180 instead of you know thousands and thousands of miles away so i think we're doing a good job uh

00:44:14.900 thousands of miles away yes exactly yeah staving off those threats but the ones that are closest to

00:44:19.540 us we're not doing anything and the ones that are coming in new forms ai the 5g network russia with

00:44:26.260 their their ones and zeros that we're in war with russia right now they are attacking us uh even uh anyone who

00:44:33.220 is is is uh in the information you know facebook google what are they doing to provide for the common

00:44:41.140 defense against companies like that right they're doing nothing because it helps their business model

00:44:45.780 exactly right so what'd you give them i i would give uh a c again because some people in some areas

00:44:51.300 it's good i mean we we feel safe so i would go i would say internationally a right uh domestically f

00:44:58.260 i agree and that kind of comes down to a c yeah um general uh general uh general welfare promote the

00:45:04.900 general welfare uh i think i would say again maybe a d to be honest why i mean to you that i don't know

00:45:16.180 exactly what it means i think that i mean the domestic tranquility and general welfare uh kind of seem the

00:45:22.100 same um i would agree um but i think that the state of our the spirit of our nation i i feel right

00:45:29.220 now uh is not in good shape yeah and i think that that is falls into the category of general welfare

00:45:35.300 and securing the blessings of liberty i would say f i would too i would say f i mean this government

00:45:42.180 is a failure this government is an absolute failure if you grade it on the things the constitution

00:45:49.620 says they must do well like you said in terms of the i mean just in terms of life i mean securing

00:45:54.020 the blessings of liberty if you're not going to stand for life yeah and our posterity that's what

00:45:58.340 it says us and our posterity yep and i mean the spending is out of control that's for posterity and

00:46:03.380 then also i i mean just in terms of um the way the the way the businesses it's good i mean trump has

00:46:11.780 repealed a lot of regulations which is good for business but uh liberty is more than just business

00:46:17.620 liberty and so i think that the notion of freedom it's not something anyone talks about anymore

00:46:22.900 i mean when is the last time you heard a politician really talk about the importance

00:46:27.380 of individual liberty and freedom um outside of a you know uh we're fighting for women's rights or

00:46:35.060 other than you know bogus speeches almost never yeah it's not almost never and you're seeing it in

00:46:41.380 the polling of millennials freedom of speech they don't believe that they don't believe that anymore

00:46:47.060 they don't believe in freedom of speech they're trying to now put a 50 tax on bullets they don't

00:46:52.900 believe in the second amendment you know the only one that i think we could all agree on is the third

00:46:57.700 amendment you know the king can't quarter soldiers that's the most important amendment but you know

00:47:03.460 what i think i think we're actually violating that because i think with the nsa

00:47:08.020 okay they're doing the same thing the king was trying to do by quartering soldiers they've

00:47:13.540 their soldiers are just digital right right now i think that's interesting yeah yeah uh john uh

00:47:18.580 you're going to be part of the uh broadcast yeah we're going to be broadcast i think we're going to

00:47:21.940 be in uh emancipation hall as well so oh wow okay uh so we'll see you tonight on the uh broadcast hosted
