The Glenn Beck Program - Dems 'Delay' Iowa Results ｜ Guests： Sen. Ted Cruz & Nigel Farage ｜ 2⧸4⧸20

00:00:00.000 What a surprise, Stu's not here yet.

00:00:07.280 I mean, can the guy show up?

00:00:09.400 He's had two days off for the Super Bowl.

00:00:11.860 By the way, engineering, I can't hear anything in my earpiece coming from Washington.

00:00:17.560 We're in Washington.

00:00:18.340 Ted Cruz is here.

00:00:19.400 We're going to have him join us here in just a few minutes.

00:00:21.800 We have quite a show lined up for you because what a day it is.

00:00:25.300 First, let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor here for The Blaze.

00:00:28.840 Anyways, it is Rough Greens.

00:00:30.960 This is something.

00:00:31.720 Do we happen to have the video of me feeding my dog the other day?

00:00:35.160 Uno has always hated to eat.

00:00:37.520 Literally, we've had to hand feed this darn dog since he was three years old.

00:00:42.600 And you have to stand there, and if you move, he stops eating.

00:00:47.080 We have to now, I think, put him on a diet because he's been eating so much.

00:00:51.580 I started putting in Rough Greens.

00:00:54.380 Now, this is not a dog food.

00:00:55.760 This is a supplement, and it's really amazing.

00:01:00.120 It's VitaSmart, Rough Greens.

00:01:02.760 It has all of the live stuff that, you know, if you're feeding your dog kibbles, they bake out.

00:01:09.300 They need all of those things.

00:01:11.760 They, for some reason or another, I think, you know, it smells like crap to me, but I'm not eating it.

00:01:16.940 He loves it, and it really makes your dog healthy.

00:01:20.900 So try it out, ruffgreens.com slash back, ruffgreens.com.

00:01:25.900 What an appropriate response to Rush Limbaugh's horrible announcement yesterday.

00:01:49.580 To salute him, I think the Democrats just kicked off Operation Chaos on themselves in Iowa.

00:01:59.960 We're going to talk about Rush.

00:02:01.620 We're going to talk about Iowa.

00:02:02.820 We're going to talk about the State of the Union and impeachment.

00:02:06.820 There's a little going on in America right now, and we're joined by Ted Cruz, live from Washington in one minute.

00:02:15.640 All right, there's really a couple of kinds of real estate agents out there, the kind who treat it almost like a hobby, you know.

00:02:28.120 It's the, you know, the side thing, or, yeah, well, I'm also a hairdresser, or I love this one.

00:02:35.760 My cousin just got into real estate.

00:02:38.500 I mean, you should list your house with it.

00:02:40.360 No, not going to list, I want somebody who's busting their butt because they really care, and they're really good at it, and they have the track record.

00:02:49.400 So, what kind?

00:02:51.000 Do you want your nephew to be selling your house, or do you want somebody who is selling your house who has the best record?

00:02:57.680 The best record kind of real estate agent you'll find at realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:03.180 It's a free service, it really, we're making a difference in the way America buys and sells houses because our agents are people that care, have the track record, they're the best in your area.

00:03:15.620 In fact, if we don't have somebody who we have thoroughly checked out in your area, we won't recommend somebody.

00:03:21.540 If you're buying or selling a house, make sure they're the ones that are going to work the hardest and give you the best bang for your buck.

00:03:27.480 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:29.780 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:32.180 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:03:42.280 We welcome to the program Senator Ted Cruz.

00:03:47.140 How are you, Senator?

00:03:48.220 Glenn, I'm doing fantastic.

00:03:49.320 How are you doing?

00:03:49.820 I was watching last night, and I remembered being at the caucus for you in Iowa, and what a bizarre system that is.

00:04:02.700 Last night, I think the Democrats showed us that, oh, they're on top of securing the election results.

00:04:10.820 Holy cow. 0.89

00:04:11.800 It is an absolute mess.

00:04:14.760 It is chaos.

00:04:16.880 And, you know, I've got to say, I really feel for all of the thousands of volunteers.

00:04:21.820 You know, you've got candidates who've spent a year or more crisscrossing the state.

00:04:25.940 And as you know, you've got volunteers.

00:04:27.920 We had people come from Texas from all over the country in 2016, basically move to Iowa, stay in dormitories, and go out in blizzards knocking on doors, making phone calls.

00:04:39.180 They poured their hearts into it, and it's not too much to have at the end of the night an election result.

00:04:45.480 No, I mean, you know, that's a nice benefit.

00:04:48.980 I cannot imagine the frustration, the anger they're feeling.

00:04:53.260 So, Ted, what is your – I mean, let me give you some of the headlines.

00:04:59.380 Republicans gloat over Iowa caucus meltdown.

00:05:02.580 You're actually – this is from CBS News.

00:05:04.460 You're mentioned there.

00:05:06.460 Are you gloating?

00:05:07.900 A little bit.

00:05:09.200 I don't think there's anything – I don't think there's anything.

00:05:11.820 Well, okay, so it's interesting they say that.

00:05:13.500 I've said a total of one thing today on that, which is I sent a tweet as I was driving in this morning.

00:05:18.040 And my tweet pointed out that Dems today can't even stand at a gymnasium and count who's standing under which sign.

00:05:26.740 Right.

00:05:27.200 These are the people they want to put in charge of our health care and everything else in our lives.

00:05:32.180 No, thank you.

00:05:32.640 No, thank you.

00:05:33.460 Like, these guys, it ain't that complicated.

00:05:35.800 You know, student council, okay, everyone for Joey, everyone for Susie.

00:05:39.360 Raise your hand.

00:05:40.000 We're done.

00:05:41.160 And these guys can't do that.

00:05:42.860 But don't worry.

00:05:43.820 We'll keep you alive.

00:05:45.100 We'll keep your mom alive.

00:05:46.280 We'll decide everything in your life.

00:05:48.080 Yeah, no, we're smarter than you.

00:05:49.640 The age of the socialists put these geniuses in charge of everything that matters to you.

00:05:54.440 So the other Washington Post said conservatives spread false claims on Twitter about electoral fraud as Iowans prepare to caucus.

00:06:03.620 You know, at this point, we don't have any evidence of fraud.

00:06:08.960 And I had an old boss of mine who used to say, never explain anything with malice that could be explained with incompetence.

00:06:17.440 Yes.

00:06:17.820 I think these guys just screwed up.

00:06:19.440 It's actually one of the reasons you and I are both really skeptical of big government.

00:06:24.320 Right.

00:06:24.500 Because it screws everything up.

00:06:25.880 So let's have it do what it needs to do.

00:06:29.280 But other than that, leave everything to the people.

00:06:31.980 And it's, you know, I'm sure there were a bunch of smart people who had a great plan and they had an app.

00:06:37.180 I think it's called Shadow.

00:06:38.900 Yeah, Shadow.

00:06:40.120 If that doesn't give you confidence.

00:06:41.400 So now apparently these are the Peter Pan Democrats because they can't find their shadow.

00:06:45.760 Right.

00:06:46.260 Okay.

00:06:46.560 So let me go into just because I think it's incompetence.

00:06:50.980 I don't think there's anything going on.

00:06:53.020 But if on the other hand, it may be the secretive Joe Biden Illuminati.

00:06:58.020 Yeah.

00:06:58.580 Working to snuff out the Bernie revolution.

00:07:01.740 Right.

00:07:02.040 That's entirely possible, too.

00:07:03.500 Yeah.

00:07:03.780 Right.

00:07:04.720 And if I had blue hair and dreadlocks and things pierced all over my face, I would believe that.

00:07:10.040 I would believe that, too.

00:07:11.400 Especially after the paper, the leading paper, they always come out in Iowa, Des Moines Register,

00:07:20.620 and they come out and they say, you know, right the day before, here are the poll numbers.

00:07:26.760 Well, we now know that the poll numbers that were spiked were this.

00:07:35.920 And this has now been confirmed.

00:07:37.440 Bernie Sanders, 22.

00:07:38.900 Elizabeth Warren, 18.

00:07:40.040 Pete Buttigieg at 16.

00:07:42.680 Joe Biden at 13.

00:07:44.680 Wow.

00:07:44.980 So you put that together with what happened last time where they really were, you know,

00:07:54.020 torching, doing everything they could, it seemed, to take down Bernie Sanders.

00:07:58.980 You're a Bernie Sanders fan.

00:08:01.120 You're even an Elizabeth Warren fan.

00:08:04.260 This does nothing to help you believe in the party.

00:08:08.960 Well, look, there's no doubt that the Democratic Party machinery is terrified of Bernie and they're terrified of Warren.

00:08:16.800 And the problem is the base of their party is enthralled with crazy leftist ideas.

00:08:25.580 The base of their party is angry.

00:08:28.360 They've got pitchforks.

00:08:29.440 They've got torches in the street.

00:08:30.940 And so we saw four years ago the Democratic Party did everything they could to stop Bernie then.

00:08:37.160 And part of it is, look, Democrats are statists.

00:08:41.780 They're authoritarians.

00:08:43.220 They believe in centralized power.

00:08:45.200 So they have things like superdelegates.

00:08:47.020 The Republican side, we don't have superdelegates.

00:08:49.480 The Democrats have, like, had a big chunk of their vote to decide who their presidential nominee is are lifelong career politicians who are called superdelegates who get to decide.

00:08:59.640 And they did that after Reagan won.

00:09:02.820 They saw that the Reagan revolution changed the Republican Party.

00:09:08.120 And they said, we don't want that to happen to us.

00:09:11.040 But inevitably, statists and authoritarians don't trust the people.

00:09:17.220 So the rhetoric is always the people.

00:09:19.420 Right.

00:09:19.800 We care about the people, so put me in charge of the people.

00:09:23.320 That's their message.

00:09:24.080 Right, right, right.

00:09:24.680 You know, someone actually believes in the people said, all right, how about let's leave the people in charge of themselves and get government?

00:09:31.400 You know, Jefferson referred to the Constitution as chains to bind the mischief of government.

00:09:36.480 The modern Democratic Party, they don't believe there's any mischief to be bound.

00:09:42.420 Right.

00:09:42.620 And it all comes down to they have incredible faith in their own ability.

00:09:47.240 They're smarter than you are.

00:09:48.820 They know better than you do.

00:09:50.580 And it's a combination of elitism and condescension and willingness to employ brute force.

00:09:56.800 If you don't disagree with them, they will use the coercive power of the state to make you agree with them.

00:10:02.920 Right.

00:10:02.960 So let's switch gears here.

00:10:09.420 First of all, any indication on when they're going to have an account?

00:10:15.960 So no clue.

00:10:17.360 They keep saying, last night they were like, no, we're just verifying.

00:10:20.040 We're just verifying.

00:10:21.220 It doesn't take you this long to verify.

00:10:22.800 This is worse than Florida.

00:10:25.700 I have no idea.

00:10:27.620 So, you know, I will say, as you know, I've sort of entered your world a little bit in the last couple of weeks because we've launched a podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:10:37.680 It went from zero, non-existent.

00:10:39.900 Yeah, number one.

00:10:40.660 It skyrocketed to number one in the country.

00:10:43.260 Yeah.

00:10:43.320 We were going to film a podcast last night.

00:10:47.440 We were sitting there to film a podcast.

00:10:49.360 Michael Knowles, who I think is coming in shortly afterwards.

00:10:51.620 So Michael and I were there in the studio.

00:10:53.700 And the whole plan is when the Iowa results come in, we'll go on and talk about it.

00:10:58.780 So we're sitting there.

00:11:00.240 And we're sitting there.

00:11:01.780 And we're sitting there.

00:11:02.400 I think we sat there three hours and we finally said, well, I don't think we're getting results.

00:11:06.720 Now, the nice thing about a podcast, you don't have a hard time.

00:11:10.340 It's not like I go on at nine.

00:11:12.040 And it's like, all right, if we don't have our results, I'll tell you what, let's wait and do it tomorrow.

00:11:15.400 Let's actually know what the results are.

00:11:18.360 I went to bed figuring I'd know when I woke up.

00:11:20.800 Me too.

00:11:21.620 Who the heck knows?

00:11:22.880 Yeah.

00:11:23.220 All right.

00:11:24.600 Let's switch to impeachment.

00:11:26.780 First of all, were you mocking – please say yes – were you mocking Nancy Pelosi's hand clap there on the Senate floor?

00:11:38.180 Of course.

00:11:38.820 Okay, good.

00:11:39.700 I'm just sorry.

00:11:40.540 Although I did have folks who were wondering if I was paying up on losing a bet for the Nationals-Astros because the Nationals did the whole baby shark thing.

00:11:48.800 So it could have been that.

00:11:49.820 Could have been that.

00:11:50.480 Could have been that.

00:11:51.180 So what happened?

00:11:52.120 I was talking to Mitch McConnell, and we were talking to a couple of other senators who were there.

00:11:56.780 And we were talking about State of the Union, and it wasn't clear when the vote in impeachment was going to be, and if it ended up being after State of the Union, which it is.

00:12:07.040 It's going to be tomorrow.

00:12:08.400 There was some discussion about the possibility that Trump might cancel the event, cancel the State of the Union, say, I'll wait until after you vote on that.

00:12:16.020 And that was being discussed a little bit.

00:12:17.840 And we were saying, well, what if Pelosi won't invite him back?

00:12:20.280 What if she says, okay, you canceled it.

00:12:21.760 You don't get a State of the Union.

00:12:23.040 So we were talking about, well, we'll just invite him to the Senate.

00:12:26.480 We can do the State of the Union and the Senate.

00:12:28.220 And then I was looking around because the Senate floor is pretty small.

00:12:31.500 And so I said, well, where would we put the House members?

00:12:33.440 I guess we could put them up in the gallery.

00:12:35.780 And Mitch said, yeah, we could stick Nancy back behind the TV camera. 1.00

00:12:38.580 Is that a driver crazy?

00:12:40.360 And that's the point where I said, now, Mitch, you've got to give her some respect.

00:12:43.980 You know, she did invent a little clap. 0.99

00:12:46.380 And so we were laughing at that.

00:12:48.380 But that was the context of the conversation.

00:12:50.340 So this is the worst political strategy on her part I've ever seen. 0.99

00:12:57.380 The Democrats, does this taint Trump at all, free Trump from this?

00:13:05.420 Are they going to continue to do this, you know, in his second term?

00:13:09.620 What do you – what are the results of the – what is the meaning of all of this?

00:13:14.060 So, look, I agree with you.

00:13:15.080 It was a serious blunder.

00:13:18.480 I think Pelosi knows that.

00:13:19.920 She didn't want to go down the road of impeachment.

00:13:22.760 Less than a year ago, both Pelosi and Jerry Nadler both said you can't have a partisan impeachment.

00:13:28.260 It tears the country apart.

00:13:29.340 It divides us.

00:13:30.100 I think they didn't want to do this.

00:13:31.620 The reality they're facing is their base is angry.

00:13:35.940 The hard left base, they're motivated by rage.

00:13:39.120 Hatred of Donald Trump is their all-consuming vision and passion.

00:13:43.860 Right, right.

00:13:44.480 And I think the Democrats had no choice.

00:13:46.400 Pelosi felt she was basically a hostage of her angry base.

00:13:50.600 So they went down this road.

00:13:52.620 I've got to say where we are politically, I think the chances of Donald Trump being reelected have risen dramatically.

00:13:58.960 Oh, I think so too.

00:13:59.660 And it's very much the same as – look, when Republicans impeached Bill Clinton, that was a mistake.

00:14:07.720 Republicans overreached.

00:14:09.060 And that got Bill Clinton reelected.

00:14:10.860 It was an enormous political benefit to Bill Clinton for the Republicans to overreach and try to impeach him.

00:14:16.940 The American people said enough already.

00:14:20.000 Focus on what matters to us.

00:14:21.700 Focus on jobs.

00:14:22.620 Focus on our future, our family.

00:14:26.900 I think that contrast is playing out beautifully.

00:14:30.760 And so my advice to the president for tonight, for State of the Union, is the same thing, is be positive and optimistic and lay out the future.

00:14:38.440 And just don't even talk about the impeachment.

00:14:40.780 Just look forward.

00:14:42.300 Here's what we've accomplished, and here's where we're going.

00:14:44.400 I don't know if the president, first year Donald Trump, could have done that.

00:14:49.080 But he's changed.

00:14:50.280 He has become disciplined.

00:14:52.080 And there's a lot of worry from Republicans that I've heard that are saying, dear God, please don't say anything.

00:14:59.180 But I think he's so close to the finish line, and he knows the gravity of this.

00:15:03.660 I hope so.

00:15:04.620 I've given him that advice directly.

00:15:06.460 I know a lot of people have.

00:15:07.620 You know, I will say, last week during impeachment, it was interesting.

00:15:11.260 I was at the White House twice last week with the president.

00:15:14.300 The first time was for the announcement of his effort to achieve peace in the Middle East.

00:15:20.000 And it was an announcement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:15:22.800 It was a fabulous event.

00:15:24.540 The next day I was back there because he was signing the USMCA, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement.

00:15:30.320 And the contrast of those two were really striking, where he's working on substance.

00:15:36.040 He's working on policies that make a difference in the economy, make a difference in jobs, for farmers, for ranchers, for manufacturers.

00:15:42.940 He's working on issues that matter, like world peace.

00:15:46.880 And the Democrats, they're just a mob wanting to attack the president.

00:15:52.160 I think that contrast, frankly, Bill Clinton drew that same contrast.

00:15:56.260 He did the same.

00:15:56.760 Exactly right.

00:15:57.020 He focused on –

00:15:58.540 Exactly right.

00:15:58.940 You remember MoveOn.org?

00:16:00.680 Yep.

00:16:01.360 Rose up during that.

00:16:02.720 And the whole message of MoveOn.org was MoveOn.

00:16:05.000 MoveOn.

00:16:05.020 I know.

00:16:06.400 And ironically, MoveOn.org is actively supporting impeachment now and is raising money for it.

00:16:14.000 And it's kind of like, did you guys –

00:16:16.020 Do you remember the name?

00:16:16.940 Do you remember where you came from?

00:16:17.580 Read the name of your group.

00:16:19.560 Maybe start a different group.

00:16:21.060 Like if you're going to do that –

00:16:22.680 StayHere.com.

00:16:23.960 Stay right here.

00:16:25.180 DwellOnThis.com.

00:16:26.020 All right, hang on just a second.

00:16:27.400 We're with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz in Washington, D.C. at the Blaze Studios.

00:16:31.940 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:16:34.340 It is Relief Factor.

00:16:35.940 Sandra was really having a hard time sleeping with pain. 1.00

00:16:40.240 Throughout the night, she would wake up in pain.

00:16:42.240 And the problem was the inflammation in her joints, the aching feeling that you get through your body when you have the flu, God forbid.

00:16:49.980 She was having this all the time.

00:16:51.600 There was night after night.

00:16:52.640 There was no hope for change.

00:16:53.920 She was skeptical when she heard me talk about Relief Factor.

00:16:57.820 But she, like me and millions of others, had little to lose, a lot to gain.

00:17:02.600 If it worked, she started taking it.

00:17:04.840 She said she took it for only a few days and her pain began to melt away.

00:17:08.520 Now she is sleeping through the night.

00:17:10.880 What Relief Factor does is reduce inflammation.

00:17:13.560 That's the major source for pain. 0.78

00:17:15.260 It's $19.95 right now for a three-week quick start.

00:17:18.900 If it doesn't work within three weeks, stop taking it.

00:17:20.920 It's not going to work for you.

00:17:22.380 It works for 70% of the people.

00:17:25.120 And it is a small risk for a potential of getting your life back, living a life without pain or less pain.

00:17:33.200 If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain, get your life back.

00:17:36.580 Go to relieffactor.com.

00:17:38.440 That's relieffactor.com.

00:17:40.940 We pause for 10 seconds.

00:17:42.460 Station ID.

00:17:43.020 That was the wrong spot.

00:17:49.280 Flowers.

00:17:52.000 So, we're with Ted Cruz, and we are in Washington, D.C.

00:17:59.420 You told me last time you were on, you said, I think we're going to, I think we want, I think I'm going to vote for witnesses.

00:18:09.880 What changed your mind?

00:18:10.760 So, what I have been saying from the beginning is that if we go down the road of witnesses, that we needed to respect the principle of reciprocity.

00:18:20.920 In other words, we couldn't do what the House did, have a one-sided show trial where only prosecution witnesses are allowed and you block every defense witness, which is what the House Democrats did.

00:18:32.060 And so, what I early on was urging my colleagues to do is if we go down the road to witnesses, and I initially just kind of kept my mind open on whether we would have them or not, but I said if we go down the road, we need to do it even handedly.

00:18:45.820 We need to be fair.

00:18:46.680 We need to respect new process.

00:18:48.000 That means if the prosecution gets a witness, the defense gets a witness.

00:18:51.680 That means if they get John Bolton, then the president gets to call Hunter Biden.

00:18:57.160 I think that principle was right.

00:18:59.080 I think it was valuable.

00:19:00.160 But I think it also ended up playing a big part in the final decision not to go down the road of additional witnesses.

00:19:07.900 And that ended up being an important vote.

00:19:11.100 I spent a lot of time within the conference trying to get us to 51 votes to say enough is enough.

00:19:18.000 The American people are tired of this.

00:19:20.240 There were 18 witnesses who testified the House proceeding.

00:19:22.820 We heard hour after hour of witness testimony of documents, the most important documents in the entire impeachment proceeding, which is the transcript of the call that's at issue here, the president declassified and released.

00:19:35.460 And so, we had a ton of evidence before us.

00:19:38.220 And on all the evidence, the president hadn't committed an impeachable crime.

00:19:42.420 He hadn't met – the House managers didn't meet the constitutional standard of high crimes or misdemeanors.

00:19:48.000 And so I, at the end of the day, agreed that we didn't need additional witnesses because they hadn't proven their case.

00:19:54.380 But I think laying out reciprocity, making clear that this will go both ways, I've got to tell you one of the consequences of that.

00:20:03.340 I think there were a whole bunch of Democrats who were terrified of going down the road of witnesses.

00:20:08.920 They all voted for it.

00:20:10.340 But I think it was one of those instances in the Senate where they voted yes and were hoping the answer was no.

00:20:15.160 Correct.

00:20:15.820 Because if we'd gone down the road of witnesses, if we'd been hearing testimony from Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, I think it would have been very – Democrats are terrified of the evidence of corruption.

00:20:27.120 And, Glenn, let me commend you.

00:20:29.100 You were one of the very first to dig in to the substance of Burisma and the evidence of corruption and lay it out.

00:20:36.880 Everyone else caught up to you, but as is often the case, you were ahead of the pack by a good chunk.

00:20:43.000 I will tell you that I have a special coming up on Thursday that I will share with you off the air, the evidence that we have.

00:20:51.560 It's beyond anything that we found.

00:20:57.260 We found links through money laundering.

00:21:02.000 We found the money laundering leaks.

00:21:04.040 And there was something else going on that Congress needs to be aware of.

00:21:09.120 And I'll share that with you as we get off the air.

00:21:13.240 Will there be an investigation on how this thing happened?

00:21:22.100 I mean the whistleblower, Schiff, any of that.

00:21:25.380 Will anybody pay?

00:21:27.000 So I hope so.

00:21:28.900 A couple of nights ago I had on my podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham.

00:21:34.820 And so I invited him to – and actually, Lindsey and I had a lot of fun on the podcast.

00:21:39.120 It was very funny that we film in a basement studio here in D.C.

00:21:44.040 And Lindsey was cracking jokes going, all right, if no one sees me again, I'm in an underground basement in Washington.

00:21:49.880 And look, it's pretty low budget.

00:21:51.860 So we got these giant microphones.

00:21:53.700 We had shag carpet.

00:21:54.720 And he's like looking around going, wait, if you guys are number one, who the heck is number two?

00:22:00.660 Some guy in a van by the park?

00:22:02.320 Like what's wrong with you?

00:22:03.600 Anyway, I say all of that to say in answer to your question, Lindsey said on the show that he wanted to see investigations into Hunter Biden and into Burisma.

00:22:12.980 And he wanted to see it on foreign relations.

00:22:15.620 Jim Risch chairs foreign relations.

00:22:17.580 Lindsey chairs judiciary.

00:22:18.820 It's got to be one of the committee chairmen that goes down the road.

00:22:21.520 I'm on both committees.

00:22:22.560 So my answer to that is yes, we should investigate because the law should apply fairly to everyone, regardless of party.

00:22:30.320 And people are frustrated.

00:22:31.940 How come people could commit corruption during the prior administration and get off scot-free?

00:22:37.080 That's not right.

00:22:37.760 There needs to be accountability.

00:22:39.100 Thank you so much.

00:22:40.520 Senator Ted Cruz will be watching you tonight at the State of the Union and listening to your new podcast.

00:22:46.360 You can get it wherever podcasts are found.

00:22:52.000 All right.

00:22:52.860 Back in just a second.

00:22:55.440 A lot more to cover.

00:22:56.900 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:59.160 Did you know that in ancient Persia, roses were actually weapons?

00:23:05.980 Soldiers would cut thousands of them and they would make them into little darts, dip them in poison, and then use like a little type of catapult to launch them over the enemy walls.

00:23:18.300 It wasn't really efficient, but most people don't know that, and mainly because none of that is true at all.

00:23:26.200 But, now that I have you thinking of roses, Valentine's Day is around and they are deadly darts.

00:23:33.300 If you don't bring them home on Valentine's Day, deadly poisonous darts to the heart for you.

00:23:40.340 800 flowers, 1-800 flowers.

00:23:43.600 Right now, if you order early, you can get the 18-stem enchanted rose medley for $29.99, or you can double it to the 36-stem bouquet for $20 more.

00:24:21.900 Yep.

00:24:22.900 Yep.

00:24:23.340 All right.

00:24:47.360 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:48.920 We're in our studios in Washington, D.C.

00:24:52.400 We're going to talk a little bit about the Rush Limbaugh announcement yesterday, which was, I just, well, I'll talk about it later.

00:25:04.040 Our prayers are with Rush and his family.

00:25:12.540 Horrible news yesterday.

00:25:13.800 All right.

00:25:14.240 All right.

00:25:15.300 We have Steve Dace, who is now in Iowa, and he is there to tell us what the hell is going on.

00:25:28.660 Steve, Iowa is making the counting process in Florida look absolutely professional.

00:25:37.420 What's going on, Glenn, what's going on, Glenn, is this is central planning.

00:25:43.120 It's only fitting that Bernie Sanders likely won the caucuses because you're watching his worldview play out in real time.

00:25:53.240 I mean, this is the DMV.

00:25:55.240 I mean, this is an election brought to you by Iran is the lost city of gold. 0.99

00:26:01.760 Net neutrality and tax cuts will kill us.

00:26:04.520 Rape hoaxes, collusion hoaxes. 0.75

00:26:06.880 Michael Evanetti for president.

00:26:08.560 I mean, that's what you're watching.

00:26:10.660 And the same people that want to ruin everything else in the culture are ruining the Iowa caucuses in real time as we speak.

00:26:18.460 So this is something that they said that they had they were working on.

00:26:23.780 They said, we've got all kinds of backup.

00:26:26.760 There's not going to be a problem.

00:26:29.020 This app works wonderfully.

00:26:32.780 First of all, do you believe that any of the crazy conspiracies that are going around, mainly, I think, from Bernie people,

00:26:41.480 because if I were a Bernie person and they treated him like they did last time and now he's winning and you're taking that away,

00:26:50.780 you lost the poll that that just mysteriously was not fit to print the day before.

00:26:57.420 And he was number one in that poll.

00:27:01.020 Do you believe any of the conspiracies?

00:27:04.760 Or is it just flat out incompetence?

00:27:06.880 I believe the Des Moines Register polling conspiracy, but I think that had more to do with Pete Buttigieg than Bernie Sanders.

00:27:13.940 And with the caucuses, I think, you know, pardon me, Glenn, they had an Obamacare website ready to go to.

00:27:22.020 And I just think this is what central planning does.

00:27:25.920 This is what it does.

00:27:27.300 And what happened four years ago is they actively screwed Bernie over.

00:27:31.200 And so in order to alleviate that, they came up with a three-tiered bureaucracy, and then they attached an app to it.

00:27:39.760 And so this is a typical leftist solution.

00:27:42.700 When people don't like an existing bureaucracy, create even more that they'll hate all the more.

00:27:47.920 And that's exactly what's going on here.

00:27:49.900 And I think that's the part people need to understand.

00:27:53.020 For 50 years, we had these caucuses.

00:27:55.140 And we had one issue with Rick Santorum eight years ago when one rural county didn't count properly in a razor-thin election, and it went from plus 8 to plus 12 on the certification process.

00:28:07.840 That was the only issue we had in 50 years.

00:28:10.800 They have turned this thing in to a cluster of epic proportions because this is what Medicare for all looks like.

00:28:19.880 This is what your education – this is like a John Stossel documentary on the public education.

00:28:25.140 This is waiting for Superman playing out with a caucus.

00:28:29.520 This is everything leftists do.

00:28:31.700 Every solution that they have is what is going on here in Iowa.

00:28:36.140 Now, they say that this new app, which I happen to have – in fact, Sarah, if I could open up this app.

00:28:44.240 They say it's very, very high-tech.

00:28:47.840 And I'm just opening it up.

00:28:50.720 Just a sec.

00:28:55.140 Hang on.

00:28:58.260 I just have to –

00:29:01.140 All right.

00:29:03.300 Now I'm fully connected, and so I can see what's going on.

00:29:08.480 I mean, what are they doing?

00:29:12.220 And why – if they said they had three different things.

00:29:15.880 One, very high-tech.

00:29:17.240 And they blamed it on slow internet speeds.

00:29:20.980 Uh-huh.

00:29:22.260 So they have that.

00:29:23.600 But they said, we have the paperwork.

00:29:25.940 We have photos of all the paperwork.

00:29:28.440 So we had a three-fold system.

00:29:30.920 You obviously didn't because it doesn't take that long to look at photographs or to count numbers on a page.

00:29:40.000 So are you going to be able to trust – are you going to be able to trust these numbers at all because they're clearly not telling you the truth of how bad it is?

00:29:50.860 I think it's obvious that they're not – that part, they're not telling you the truth.

00:29:54.880 And last time I heard that sound is when I met my wife because we met on an AOL chat room 25 years ago.

00:30:02.260 Okay?

00:30:02.820 And so the whole thing is ridiculous.

00:30:05.660 And I think what you're learning is that the counting process doesn't have full confidence and accountability, that they didn't do these counts properly.

00:30:17.160 Because here's the – the process is with the herding process.

00:30:21.020 When your candidate's not viable and you've got to move from one candidate to another and all of that politicking is going on right there in real time.

00:30:29.660 I'm sure a lot of your listeners saw this on cable news last night at caucus sites where, you know, Andrew Yang's not viable or at a lot of caucus sites.

00:30:37.660 Joe Biden wasn't viable last night.

00:30:39.620 And so where are his supporters going to go?

00:30:42.340 And so trying to figure that out through the process of three counts, it's pretty obvious they're not sure about their own count because if they were, we'd have had these results by now.

00:30:52.540 Now, we have California saying that they have a new app too, and they're going to be voting for the first time on an app.

00:31:02.840 You think that's going to change between now and the California primary?

00:31:09.620 I – you know, it's funny how we think that – and this is kind of the progressive mindset, isn't it, Glenn, that anything old is bad, anything old.

00:31:20.580 And, hey, you know, we don't keep doing things because that's the way we've always done them, right?

00:31:25.040 That's the worst excuse to continue.

00:31:27.760 But maybe the reason why your great-grandmother passed her chocolate chip cookie recipe down to your grandmother and her – your grandmother passed it down to your mom and she's passing it down to you now is because it's the best damn chocolate chip cookie recipe anybody's found.

00:31:41.060 That's why it survived this long.

00:31:42.260 And I don't – not everything's got to be retconned and refinished and modernized and contemporized.

00:31:49.160 You know, it's just as simple as count heads, write the number down, and turn it in.

00:31:54.380 How hard is that?

00:31:55.320 How do the people in Iowa feel today, those people who worked their butts off, who canvassed neighborhoods, who have, you know, dragged people out to make sure that they were at caucus?

00:32:11.100 Their vote really almost doesn't matter now because Iowa is the first.

00:32:18.400 It sets the tone for the rest.

00:32:21.260 And if I were a voter, I would be so angry that my vote – I've been disenfranchised.

00:32:28.760 Even if they count it later, it doesn't – that's not what I went for.

00:32:33.700 We went to set the table and to start this thing, and now my voice hasn't been heard.

00:32:40.900 I think you've got two choices in how to react to this.

00:32:45.220 One is you don't want to admit the entire fallacy of your statist worldview.

00:32:52.140 And so you'll go to conspiracy because you don't want to admit that central planning on this level, bureaucracy on this level, simply can't be trusted and doesn't work.

00:33:03.700 That the same fallibilities in human nature that beguiles all of us doesn't go away when we put on a government uniform or we belong to a central structure.

00:33:15.220 We bring those same imperfections into the process with us.

00:33:19.120 And so you have a choice.

00:33:20.600 You can either admit that you have been a victim of your own worldview, that what you want to do to health care, what you already did to education and energy, the reason why you wrecked those industries is because it's – you don't need smarter people.

00:33:35.220 Your worldview is bad.

00:33:36.600 You can now admit this to yourself now that you're a first-person victim of this or because you don't want to admit this to yourself.

00:33:43.440 You just say these particular people implementing it are bad, and you go down the road of a conspiracy.

00:33:48.880 I think that's the choice Iowa Democrats have today.

00:33:51.560 Steve, would you say it's fair, just judging by the way these candidates are reacting to the potential results that are on the way, that Buttigieg seemingly did pretty well and Biden did not do well?

00:34:06.300 I think if – you know, Bernie Sanders this morning put out what his canvassers had internally at about 40 percent or almost half of the precincts, and it lines up a lot with what the leaked results of the Des Moines Register poll that were never officially unveiled, have to say.

00:34:23.720 And it goes with the trend line, Stu, that I tweeted out in the middle of the night last night, just following a lot of Democrats across the state reporting from their caucus sites on Twitter, pardon me, that it looked pretty close between Sanders, Buttigieg, and Warren, and it looked like Klobuchar could topple Biden for fourth place.

00:34:40.300 So I think what you see out of this process is Joe Biden is a mortally wounded candidate, and you're already seeing polls in South Carolina close.

00:34:48.720 This whole thing about the black vote is largely overblown because I think what people don't understand, because a lot of Republicans get their view of the Democratic Party from the media and Twitter.

00:35:00.000 And the reality is black folks aren't watching CNN and MSNBC.

00:35:03.960 They don't watch that stuff.

00:35:05.060 Rich, white, affluent people do.

00:35:06.960 And so they're going to pay attention to the race once it gets to them, and you're going to see the candidates that have the momentum are going to close the gap, similar to how South Carolina was going to be Hillary Clinton's black firewall in 2008.

00:35:18.720 And that's the place where Barack Obama essentially won the nomination after winning Iowa.

00:35:24.280 So I think that you're seeing Joe Biden is a mortally wounded candidate in this race.

00:35:32.440 So Sanders, I mean, it was either Sanders or Buttigieg that won last night, I think, just based on everything that we do know.

00:35:42.340 Sanders has been, and Buttigieg, I mean, Buttigieg hasn't been robbed as much as Sanders has, because Sanders could have used the momentum.

00:35:54.980 Buttigieg even coming in second really helps him a great deal.

00:36:01.700 Sanders not getting that push and seeing a dominant win hurts him.

00:36:08.360 Do you agree?

00:36:09.580 I kind of disagree.

00:36:10.440 I think this fits into his whole M.O.

00:36:12.980 System can't be trusted.

00:36:14.600 That's why we need radical solutions.

00:36:16.860 We need revolution.

00:36:18.280 Even the people that you have voted for all these years against those rascally Republicans, they'll try to screw you, too.

00:36:24.620 I think it plays right into his M.O.

00:36:26.260 I think Buttigieg is the candidate that got screwed more than anybody else.

00:36:29.820 I think that's why you saw him out there and declare victory last night openly, trying to capture some kind of momentum, because he lost a chance to kind of be the shiny object and the new hotness.

00:36:39.560 And I think what the National Democratic Party is wrestling with right now is if it's really a Bloomberg-Bernie Sanders choice for them, which is do they think Michael Bloomberg is somebody that can win enough of their base over to stop Bernie Sanders?

00:36:56.880 And if not, then time to get your seat in before the music stops playing, which is the Soviet National Anthem.

00:37:05.340 But you've been playing it for years anyway.

00:37:07.140 Thank you very much from Iowa.

00:37:12.200 And I can't imagine being a voter in Iowa today.

00:37:15.580 Well, by the way, do you want to just touch base real quick, Steve, on the numbers of Donald Trump?

00:37:22.020 Tremendous turnout for Donald Trump last night in Iowa.

00:37:25.540 Yeah, I think they said it was a record for an incumbent president ever.

00:37:28.920 And I think that's another story, too, on the Democratic side, guys, is their record turnout never materialized.

00:37:35.820 I mean, they had about a 2016-level turnout, not the 2008 record turnout that they thought they were going to get.

00:37:42.500 And that's with a whole bunch of candidates that were all viable at the same time.

00:37:46.280 That does not bode well for them in a lot of these Rust Belt states going forward in the fall.

00:37:50.880 And it shows, I mean, I have to tell you, for a caucus, for Donald Trump, an incumbent, I'm not leaving my house.

00:38:01.400 I'm not leaving my house.

00:38:03.300 I mean, why would you do it?

00:38:04.960 For them to have a record turnout is remarkable.

00:38:09.360 Remarkable.

00:38:10.380 Okay, Steve, thank you so much.

00:38:12.800 Take a quick break.

00:38:14.240 Back in a minute.

00:38:14.840 That's hard to believe, but there was a time when explorers coming to this continent thought they were going to find the Fountain of Youth.

00:38:25.140 Of course, even more bizarre is that they thought it was going to be in Florida.

00:38:27.820 It doesn't feel like it would be in Florida if they found it.

00:38:31.020 They're all those old people from New York that are there. 1.00

00:38:34.180 Why would you think that?

00:38:35.680 That's why they're moving there.

00:38:36.720 Right.

00:38:36.800 The Fountain of Youth may not exist, but Chamonix seems to have found the next best thing, including their GenuCell RH.

00:38:44.160 GenuCell RH delivers next-generation retinol anti-aging effects with zero redness or irritation.

00:38:50.260 Chamonix is leading the industry once again with GenuCell RH because it's taking all those aging signs and it's giving them the boot.

00:38:55.880 Maybe it's kicking them down to Florida.

00:38:57.440 If you want to go right now in a limited time, it's free when you order GenuCell jawline treatment.

00:39:02.500 And for results in 12 hours, you also get the GenuCell immediate effects free with your order.

00:39:59.500 Welcome to the program, the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:06.260 We're live from Washington, D.C.

00:40:08.460 Stu is joining me here in the Capitol.

00:40:11.400 We hope to be back in Dallas tomorrow, but there is an ice storm on the way in Dallas.

00:40:18.000 Yay! 0.99

00:40:18.980 That sounds great.

00:40:20.120 But got to be back for the special, which happens on Thursday.

00:40:24.200 I'm going to be in the State of the Union tonight.

00:40:27.280 I'm going to be there in the chamber, which I never thought I would want to do, but I did it last year.

00:40:34.260 And the perspective you gain from watching the senators and the House is remarkable.

00:40:42.400 I think there should be a camera on those people all the time.

00:40:46.080 Oh, I definitely want you there because I remember all your observations from last year.

00:40:49.640 It's crazy.

00:40:50.160 It is.

00:40:50.540 Yeah, because you see all the stuff they're not showing you.

00:40:52.060 Yeah.

00:40:52.200 You see how are people reacting.

00:40:54.520 And, you know, they're not going to show Ilhan Omar's reactions to a lot of things because they probably don't want people to see it.

00:41:02.700 Oh, yeah.

00:41:03.080 But you can see it.

00:41:04.080 Yeah, I can see it, and I can report it back to you.

00:41:06.820 So I'm going to be doing that tonight.

00:41:08.240 We're going to have our live broadcast.

00:41:10.960 I open it at 7.30 tonight.

00:41:13.500 If you're a member of Blaze TV, you'll be able to see it.

00:41:16.200 But we have our live broadcast tonight starts at 7.30.

00:41:20.580 I think we throw it over to you and Eric Bolling at 8.

00:41:25.100 That goes for a while.

00:41:26.620 Then, immediately following the speech, Bill O'Reilly is giving a live reaction, and that gives me time to get out of the House chambers and down to a camera where I will tell you my inside-the-room feel and take.

00:41:44.720 That all happens tonight.

00:41:46.320 If you're not a member, join us.

00:43:15.920 That beer comes from Mexico, you know.

00:43:19.360 That beer is coming from Mexico.

00:43:21.200 You drink it, you die.

00:43:22.860 That's what I heard.

00:43:23.740 I saw that in an ad from Budweiser.

00:43:28.700 Stay off that beer.

00:43:29.840 Stay away from that.

00:43:31.480 Yeah.

00:43:32.480 Thank you so much, Hillary.

00:43:33.480 I appreciate it.

00:43:35.660 All right.

00:43:35.980 We have Michael Knowles in a studio in Washington, D.C., and we're going to talk about...

00:43:41.020 We're going to try to find something to talk about.

00:43:43.980 I hear there's something going on.

00:43:46.320 All right.

00:43:46.940 Let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor.

00:43:48.480 FBI calls home title theft one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes.

00:43:53.800 This is why you really need home title lock.

00:43:56.020 Nobody is watching this stuff.

00:43:57.320 You know, well, I got mortgage insurance.

00:43:59.900 No, that's for when you're buying the house.

00:44:02.940 Once you have it, nobody's watching that.

00:44:05.720 This is an epidemic in New York.

00:44:07.720 Another reason why I don't live in New York anymore.

00:44:10.640 You can get evicted from your own house.

00:44:13.120 You can lose all the equity.

00:44:14.960 You lose your house.

00:44:16.080 They steal it.

00:44:18.200 It's bizarre, but that's the world we live in today.

00:44:21.400 They're still counting votes in Iowa.

00:44:23.060 That's how bizarre of a world we're living in now.

00:44:25.780 Get your home title lock now.

00:44:45.160 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:44:49.200 Michael Knowles is with us now.

00:44:52.400 He's with the Daily Wire.

00:44:54.200 He's the Michael Knowles podcast.

00:44:57.580 He's the host with with Ted Cruz.

00:45:00.580 Number one podcast in the country.

00:45:03.000 He joins us and a personal note about Rush Limbaugh.

00:45:08.040 I start there in one minute.

00:45:13.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:45:17.860 Our sponsor is Shave Secret.

00:45:21.040 Shave Secret is just, I mean, it's so simple.

00:45:24.620 It is so cheap.

00:45:25.560 Look, here's the thing.

00:45:27.800 You've been marketed to your whole life.

00:45:30.860 Oh, this shaving gel is fantastic.

00:45:33.640 It's cool.

00:45:34.300 It's creamy.

00:45:35.060 It's wonderful.

00:45:36.080 Expands in your hands.

00:45:37.420 It's buy it now and then buy some more and then buy some more and buy some more.

00:45:42.060 Here's the here's the real thing.

00:45:43.740 This is Shave Secret.

00:45:45.180 Here's the secret.

00:45:46.020 You don't need any of that crap.

00:45:47.900 You need about three drops of Shave Secret.

00:45:50.460 It is a it's a proprietary blend of essential oils.

00:45:54.160 I love essential oils and I shave with crystals.

00:45:57.980 Anyway, you take three drops of this stuff and put it in a wet hand.

00:46:01.420 You smooth it into your beard and or on your legs.

00:46:04.920 Hey, who's to judge?

00:46:06.360 You shave anything you want, sweetheart. 0.82

00:46:09.120 And and you've and your razor just glides through.

00:46:14.360 It's unlike any shave you've had.

00:46:16.240 It's Shave Secret.

00:46:17.700 It's not a new idea.

00:46:19.120 It's what everybody was using, you know, before we discovered marketing.

00:46:25.760 Shave Secret.

00:46:26.740 It's inexpensive.

00:46:27.960 It's on the shelf of your favorite grocery store.

00:46:30.340 You'll find it at H-E-B or what's the one up here?

00:46:34.720 Wegmans.

00:46:35.000 Also, it's at Walmart and you can get it at Amazon.com.

00:46:39.640 Or if you go to ShaveSecret.com and use the promo code Beck, you're going to get a 10% discount.

00:46:49.060 First president I voted for was Ronald Reagan.

00:47:02.580 And I couldn't vote for him.

00:47:07.900 In 1980, I wasn't old enough.

00:47:11.260 In 1984, I was proud to be, I think, well, I think there were only four people that ended up voting for Mondale.

00:47:21.860 But I was proud to vote for Ronald Reagan.

00:47:27.140 But I was still learning an awful lot.

00:47:30.180 And back in those days, there were no teachers of what I now know.

00:47:36.620 There was no balance to the news, even though we had the Fairness Doctrine.

00:47:44.900 There was no balance.

00:47:45.940 You know, balance then was like CNN and MSNBC.

00:47:52.240 Oh, well, thank you for that.

00:47:55.860 And I heard a guy who was sweeping the country.

00:48:00.400 He was a guy that was just doing a local radio show.

00:48:06.480 And there was another guy, his partner, that left ABC Radio.

00:48:11.680 And in his contract, he had a bunch of satellite time.

00:48:17.460 He had negotiated one of his contracts that, you know, for every year he gets so many hours of satellite time.

00:48:23.440 Well, back then, satellites were wildly expensive.

00:48:28.200 And that's what was required if you wanted to do a national show.

00:48:33.160 And there weren't a lot of national shows.

00:48:35.040 And there certainly wasn't anything like Rush Limbaugh.

00:48:37.420 And Rush Limbaugh had gone into San Francisco and other places, and he had been turned down.

00:48:43.840 But he was in Sacramento, and this guy happened to hear him and thought,

00:48:47.620 This guy, that's a worthy use of my satellite time.

00:48:54.340 This guy could change things.

00:48:57.020 I remember first hearing him.

00:49:03.700 With talent on loan from God.

00:49:07.220 From behind the golden EIB microphone.

00:49:11.620 And thinking, This guy is crazy.

00:49:15.800 He doesn't care.

00:49:18.120 He'd say anything.

00:49:19.140 And I learned from him.

00:49:25.700 He was a teacher.

00:49:28.500 Not radio.

00:49:32.040 He taught me how to find truth.

00:49:37.680 He taught me to question things.

00:49:43.820 He taught me why things are the way they are.

00:49:47.100 And I think the most important thing he taught me and all of America was,

00:49:55.800 You're not alone.

00:49:57.400 It's not just you.

00:49:59.380 There are millions of us.

00:50:06.600 The message I want to send to Rush today is,

00:50:12.020 Rush, learn that lesson.

00:50:15.480 And it's hard because of his life and what he does and how people treat people nowadays.

00:50:24.180 He lives behind golden gates much of the time.

00:50:30.380 And those of us who do this, we lose.

00:50:33.880 It's a one-way street so many times.

00:50:36.880 Rush, there are millions of us who are praying for you today.

00:50:49.160 I remember doing a show and having to go to ABC radio back in the early 90s.

00:50:59.080 And I was just starting to think about doing a talk radio show.

00:51:04.080 And we had to fill in for a national show.

00:51:06.000 I don't remember which one.

00:51:07.680 And Premier Radio Networks is who syndicates Rush and now syndicates me.

00:51:15.400 They said, we have a studio open in New York.

00:51:17.700 And we went into the studio and there it was, the golden microphone and the giant oil painting of Rush behind me.

00:51:29.180 And they said, yeah, just do it from here.

00:51:36.060 Rush hadn't been in it for probably a year.

00:51:38.580 But it was awesome just to be in that room and a little humbling to be behind the microphone.

00:51:51.020 Just a few weeks ago, I lost my good friend, Don Imus.

00:51:56.100 Don was a childhood hero of mine.

00:52:00.720 He was the only people in radio who really study it, which are very few people now,

00:52:08.180 who really know the history of it.

00:52:11.280 He was a Jack Benny or a Bob Hope.

00:52:14.160 He changed radio.

00:52:16.740 He made his mark and changed mourning and comedy on radio.

00:52:27.400 He's an early pioneer, really, of talk radio.

00:52:31.960 He just wasn't talking about politics.

00:52:34.920 He was a Jack Benny or a Bob Hope.

00:52:38.180 He was a legend.

00:52:40.600 But I think Rush Limbaugh is not only a legend, he's a pioneer.

00:52:49.460 The difference is, a pioneer knows they might get killed along the way.

00:52:57.860 Knows that they might get stuck in the mountains.

00:53:01.480 Knows that this is risky.

00:53:03.380 I'm alone, and I'm making this trek over this mountain because I believe there is something on the other side,

00:53:13.660 but there's no real evidence that what you're looking for is actually there.

00:53:18.600 That's Rush Limbaugh.

00:53:28.980 Somebody, I was having dinner last night, and somebody at the table, we were talking about Rush,

00:53:33.620 and somebody at the table said,

00:53:36.040 well, God forbid if the worst happens.

00:53:44.520 Who will replace him?

00:53:45.840 And I will tell you this, I thought of that, but in a different way when I heard this news,

00:53:54.060 because what I thought was, this changes radio.

00:53:57.940 This, there is so much pressure on these radio stations to stop doing talk radio.

00:54:03.780 And one of the reasons why they continue to do it is not because of Mark Levin or Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity.

00:54:12.100 It's simply because Rush Limbaugh is on that station.

00:54:18.220 Without him, I don't know what happens to the rest of us on talk radio.

00:54:22.560 And I sat there quietly at the table as people were banning around names,

00:54:29.060 and I finally said,

00:54:31.440 guys, there is no replacement for Rush Limbaugh.

00:54:37.320 There is no replacement.

00:54:39.360 And I don't mean this to be humble, or I mean this because it's true.

00:54:48.940 And maybe you can only understand this when you get to be my age,

00:54:52.560 but I remember being at the kiddies' table.

00:54:55.620 Then I remember being the newly married couple.

00:54:59.000 And there were several couples ahead of us.

00:55:01.860 There were the grandparents and the parents and the aunts and uncles.

00:55:06.000 And as I get older,

00:55:07.600 I realize there are more people down towards the kiddie table

00:55:12.540 and fewer towards the exit, if you will.

00:55:16.480 And you find yourself sitting there as the patriarch of the family at some point,

00:55:21.260 and you're like, wait, wait, how did this happen?

00:55:24.280 When did this happen?

00:55:27.200 And when I heard the news,

00:55:28.840 I went through in my head the people

00:55:31.580 that are still around.

00:55:36.680 The legends, the icons,

00:55:39.860 the people who taught me,

00:55:41.980 the people I watched,

00:55:43.480 the people I admired,

00:55:44.680 the people that made this industry.

00:55:48.820 And,

00:55:51.260 and Rush is the king of them all.

00:55:59.540 Rush,

00:56:00.380 I'm not only praying for you

00:56:03.440 because

00:56:04.380 you're a good guy,

00:56:06.920 and I'm grateful for what you've done for me personally,

00:56:12.000 not on,

00:56:13.040 not for my career,

00:56:14.360 but as a person

00:56:15.640 in America

00:56:16.800 that cared.

00:56:17.860 thank you

00:56:19.920 for being with us.

00:56:25.420 But I'm also praying for you

00:56:27.100 because I don't know what happens to our voices

00:56:30.060 if you go away.

00:56:33.100 because

00:56:36.920 you're the king

00:56:40.920 or the mayor of Reelsville,

00:56:43.100 as you said yesterday,

00:56:45.140 as mayor

00:56:46.180 with none of your,

00:56:50.220 your bogus

00:56:51.720 ego in it

00:56:53.940 that you express on the air,

00:56:55.260 but the real you

00:56:56.580 should know.

00:57:01.320 If the,

00:57:02.220 the patriarch

00:57:03.640 goes away,

00:57:05.360 none of us

00:57:06.240 are qualified

00:57:07.300 to sit

00:57:08.880 in that chair.

00:57:10.400 Michael Knowles

00:57:16.520 joins us

00:57:17.100 in one minute.

00:57:20.600 So there's nothing worse

00:57:21.820 than,

00:57:22.280 you know,

00:57:22.600 spotty Wi-Fi.

00:57:23.920 You're sitting there

00:57:24.560 in your office

00:57:25.100 pretending to work

00:57:26.140 while you're actually

00:57:26.820 watching old episodes

00:57:27.980 of,

00:57:28.560 you know,

00:57:28.780 whatever,

00:57:29.280 and it keeps pausing

00:57:30.720 and you're like,

00:57:31.280 come on,

00:57:32.180 I mean,

00:57:32.400 I don't have all day,

00:57:33.380 I only have eight hours here.

00:57:35.500 That's bad,

00:57:36.280 but what's worse

00:57:37.180 is unsecured Wi-Fi.

00:57:39.260 Even when it's

00:57:39.820 password protected,

00:57:40.940 unsecure Wi-Fi

00:57:42.000 lets cyber criminals

00:57:43.440 watch your activity

00:57:44.460 and steal

00:57:45.380 the financial account

00:57:46.660 information

00:57:47.140 and passwords

00:57:47.680 that you send online.

00:57:49.120 You need powerful layers

00:57:50.820 of protection

00:57:51.360 for your devices

00:57:52.140 and online privacy.

00:57:53.300 What you need

00:57:53.960 is Norton 360.

00:57:56.000 With Norton 360,

00:57:56.980 you're going to get

00:57:57.500 a secure VPN

00:57:58.460 that has bank-grade

00:58:00.220 encryption

00:58:00.900 that'll help

00:58:01.600 keep your information,

00:58:02.820 logins and passwords

00:58:03.860 more secure

00:58:04.960 and more private

00:58:05.900 when you're on Wi-Fi.

00:58:07.320 You also get

00:58:07.720 a password manager.

00:58:09.560 Good God,

00:58:10.140 I hate those passwords.

00:58:11.680 I just,

00:58:12.140 I can't think of

00:58:13.640 any more words

00:58:14.500 that I will remember,

00:58:15.760 okay?

00:58:16.300 I can't think of

00:58:17.280 any more.

00:58:18.900 That's why you get

00:58:19.620 the password manager.

00:58:20.280 No,

00:58:20.760 that will manage it

00:58:22.080 for you.

00:58:23.200 Anyway,

00:58:23.640 you get a password manager

00:58:24.800 that easily

00:58:25.540 and securely

00:58:26.220 creates stores

00:58:27.040 and manages

00:58:27.560 your password,

00:58:28.560 credit card information

00:58:29.680 and other credentials.

00:58:30.940 I'm not smart enough

00:58:32.280 to figure that out.

00:58:33.180 There's also

00:58:34.140 a PC safe cam feature

00:58:35.620 which notifies you

00:58:36.720 if cyber criminals

00:58:37.740 try to use your webcam

00:58:38.840 to help block them.

00:58:40.400 No one can prevent

00:58:41.160 all cyber crime

00:58:41.840 but Norton 360

00:58:42.540 is the ally

00:58:43.880 that you need,

00:58:44.700 the most powerful one

00:58:45.860 to give you

00:58:47.820 real cyber security.

00:58:49.200 Get up to 50%

00:58:59.100 Michael Knowles

00:59:16.680 from his podcast,

00:59:20.300 Michael Knowles podcast.

00:59:23.040 That's with a K.

00:59:23.880 I mean,

00:59:25.100 I just point that out

00:59:26.520 because we learned

00:59:27.600 last week

00:59:28.360 from Don Lemon

00:59:29.800 that all the people

00:59:30.740 that are listening to us

00:59:32.340 don't know how to spell,

00:59:33.740 Michael.

00:59:34.340 They don't have that spell

00:59:35.440 and that geography.

00:59:36.940 Geography,

00:59:37.980 them maps

00:59:38.840 and stuff.

00:59:40.500 How are you?

00:59:41.520 I'm good.

00:59:42.320 Good to see you.

00:59:42.980 Good to be here

00:59:43.280 with you guys.

00:59:43.940 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:59:44.440 Congratulations

00:59:44.920 on your podcast

00:59:46.120 with Ted Cruz.

00:59:47.460 Thank you.

00:59:47.900 You don't get the credit

00:59:51.960 that he is rightfully getting.

00:59:56.000 I think he's got

00:59:56.460 a bigger name

00:59:57.180 than I do.

00:59:57.680 Yeah, he does.

00:59:58.220 Although I now have

00:59:59.220 the distinction

00:59:59.760 of beating my own podcast

01:00:01.520 with a new podcast.

01:00:02.520 Yeah, that's great.

01:00:03.180 With Ted Cruz, number one.

01:00:04.500 That's great.

01:00:04.840 My show,

01:00:05.260 a little below number one.

01:00:06.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:06.860 So that is,

01:00:08.940 that has been crazy.

01:00:12.320 It has been crazy.

01:00:13.320 Crazy to watch.

01:00:14.020 This came together.

01:00:15.100 You know how things

01:00:15.580 happen in Washington.

01:00:16.260 This came together

01:00:16.960 last minute.

01:00:17.900 I fly out to D.C.

01:00:19.040 for four or five days

01:00:20.100 and then impeachment

01:00:21.540 goes on and on and on.

01:00:23.820 Adam Schiff

01:00:24.400 never stops talking.

01:00:25.840 So the senator

01:00:26.760 and I pretty much

01:00:27.420 haven't slept

01:00:28.040 in about two and a half

01:00:29.420 weeks now.

01:00:30.220 Right, right, right.

01:00:30.580 But it's been

01:00:30.960 a roller coaster

01:00:31.640 and now it looks like

01:00:32.840 it's all over on Wednesday

01:00:34.480 but anything could happen.

01:00:36.340 Yeah, now he said

01:00:36.960 he was,

01:00:37.700 you guys were thinking

01:00:38.780 about doing

01:00:39.500 maybe once a week.

01:00:41.740 Yes.

01:00:42.040 And just kind of

01:00:42.600 going over everything.

01:00:43.500 We're having so much fun

01:00:44.880 and I think it's

01:00:46.080 never been done before

01:00:47.100 which is that we go

01:00:48.520 to this bunker studio

01:00:50.020 somewhere in D.C.

01:00:51.440 The senator comes

01:00:52.400 straight from the hill.

01:00:53.760 It's the middle

01:00:54.240 of the night.

01:00:54.860 Somehow Senator Cruz

01:00:56.020 does not need sleep

01:00:57.120 and then we stay up

01:00:58.560 all night writing

01:00:59.460 this show,

01:01:00.000 filming this show.

01:01:01.300 I sleep, of course,

01:01:02.260 through the entire rest

01:01:03.060 of the day.

01:01:03.440 And he goes back

01:01:04.060 to the hill,

01:01:04.440 does it all again.

01:01:04.940 Right.

01:01:05.580 So what is the thing

01:01:06.520 that has been

01:01:07.540 the most intriguing

01:01:09.000 about this impeachment

01:01:11.900 process that you are

01:01:12.860 watching it firsthand

01:01:14.160 coming out of somebody,

01:01:15.640 a witness?

01:01:16.280 What's so intriguing

01:01:17.260 to me is that

01:01:18.340 it's not scripted.

01:01:20.360 I had this vision

01:01:21.380 that impeachment,

01:01:22.620 all the Senate proceedings,

01:01:24.060 there's a script,

01:01:24.980 they plan it out,

01:01:25.740 there's nothing new

01:01:26.340 that happens.

01:01:27.040 And what I learned

01:01:27.760 from Senator Cruz,

01:01:28.780 we had Senator Graham

01:01:29.600 come through the other night,

01:01:30.800 is there is

01:01:32.740 very little coordination.

01:01:34.600 There is very,

01:01:34.960 I mean,

01:01:35.380 there are,

01:01:35.800 someone will say something,

01:01:36.840 Adam Schiff will make

01:01:37.540 a mistake in his argument

01:01:39.200 and Senator Cruz

01:01:40.460 and Senator Graham

01:01:41.000 will run into the cloakroom,

01:01:42.560 write a new question down.

01:01:43.840 That question will go up,

01:01:45.020 that'll have another senator 0.98

01:01:46.300 asking a question

01:01:47.080 before you know it,

01:01:48.300 there are three,

01:01:48.840 four,

01:01:49.300 five votes in play

01:01:50.340 on whether or not

01:01:51.340 to drag this out

01:01:52.080 three months

01:01:52.620 or whether to keep it

01:01:53.940 for a week.

01:01:54.320 That was what I heard

01:01:55.980 on the podcast

01:01:56.600 that I thought

01:01:57.240 was really interesting

01:01:58.820 was that it was

01:02:00.520 Elizabeth Warren

01:02:01.900 that really flipped

01:02:03.880 some Republican votes

01:02:05.280 the wrong way for her.

01:02:07.340 That's right.

01:02:07.760 Elizabeth Warren,

01:02:08.600 particularly when she asks

01:02:09.820 these pointed questions,

01:02:11.200 she asked Chief Justice

01:02:12.500 John Roberts

01:02:13.240 more or less

01:02:13.900 when he stopped

01:02:14.420 beating his wife.

01:02:15.360 The question was,

01:02:16.380 when did you lose

01:02:17.120 all your credibility?

01:02:18.360 And that really irritated

01:02:20.120 some of those moderate

01:02:21.360 Republican senators

01:02:22.340 who realized

01:02:23.380 that this had become

01:02:24.280 a thoroughly partisan process

01:02:25.820 and was degraded

01:02:27.300 even by the levels

01:02:28.080 of Washington.

01:02:29.060 So tell me about

01:02:29.780 your thoughts

01:02:30.760 on Iowa last night.

01:02:32.100 I would like to break

01:02:32.740 a little news

01:02:33.340 on your show, Glenn.

01:02:34.280 Yes, yes.

01:02:34.940 I would like to

01:02:36.080 declare myself

01:02:37.480 the winner

01:02:37.880 of the Iowa caucuses.

01:02:39.400 I have exactly

01:02:40.720 as many official votes

01:02:42.000 as Pete Buttigieg,

01:02:42.940 so I can't wait

01:02:44.240 to go into New Hampshire.

01:02:45.120 You know,

01:02:45.340 I was listening

01:02:45.980 to it last night

01:02:46.740 and they were saying

01:02:47.480 I came home,

01:02:48.140 I was having dinner out

01:02:49.020 and I came back

01:02:50.740 to the apartment

01:02:52.360 and I go in

01:02:53.680 and I'm looking at

01:02:56.360 turn it on TV,

01:02:58.260 I turn it on CNN

01:02:59.180 and I turned my back

01:03:02.460 and they said

01:03:03.820 and notice

01:03:05.120 here are all

01:03:07.140 of the candidates

01:03:07.920 and notice

01:03:09.160 all of the zeros

01:03:10.380 and I thought,

01:03:12.020 wow,

01:03:12.960 they are,

01:03:13.520 they're actually calling

01:03:14.980 all the candidates

01:03:15.600 zeros.

01:03:16.540 That sums it up.

01:03:17.140 Totally.

01:03:18.340 Oh,

01:03:19.020 they don't have anything yet.

01:03:20.820 I really thought

01:03:21.800 they were calling

01:03:22.380 them all zeros.

01:03:23.020 I'm like,

01:03:23.640 this is the first time

01:03:24.900 CNN's ever told the truth.

01:03:26.980 Total honesty.

01:03:28.560 And,

01:03:29.060 you know,

01:03:29.740 I have to tell you

01:03:30.740 last year in 26,

01:03:31.860 last year,

01:03:32.380 last cycle in 2016,

01:03:33.460 I thought they did

01:03:35.040 a much better job

01:03:36.120 of stealing it from Bernie.

01:03:37.240 I think they're being

01:03:38.040 a little too transparent

01:03:39.100 about stealing it from Bernie.

01:03:39.560 So what do you think?

01:03:40.340 What do you think?

01:03:41.040 Because I,

01:03:41.660 you know,

01:03:41.960 Ted and I were talking

01:03:43.020 about it about an hour ago

01:03:44.460 and I don't believe

01:03:45.800 the conspiracy theories.

01:03:47.640 However,

01:03:48.720 if I'm voter,

01:03:49.940 if I'm a voter for Bernie,

01:03:51.420 I think I do.

01:03:52.560 Right.

01:03:53.020 Of course,

01:03:53.660 because they really did

01:03:54.620 pull a lot of strings

01:03:55.420 last time

01:03:56.160 and they've been

01:03:56.540 so dishonest.

01:03:57.340 It's been such

01:03:57.800 an opaque process

01:03:59.120 and to bungle it

01:04:00.820 on this level

01:04:01.760 has not occurred

01:04:03.400 in modern American history.

01:04:05.040 It really boggles the mind.

01:04:06.140 Now they're also saying

01:04:06.960 that there are inconsistencies

01:04:08.720 in the vote tally.

01:04:09.840 So it's not just

01:04:10.460 a reporting problem,

01:04:11.400 perhaps.

01:04:11.960 There's maybe

01:04:12.520 something else going on.

01:04:14.660 Tell me,

01:04:15.600 what do you think?

01:04:19.120 What do you think

01:04:20.240 Biden supporters

01:04:21.300 are going to do

01:04:23.140 when you get to Wisconsin

01:04:25.560 if he doesn't win?

01:04:28.300 You're Biden's supporter.

01:04:29.600 I think you're just

01:04:30.080 referring to Hunter, right?

01:04:31.260 Everyone else

01:04:31.940 has already judged him.

01:04:32.460 I don't mean Biden.

01:04:33.440 I mean Bernie.

01:04:35.900 Well, look,

01:04:36.340 right now,

01:04:36.980 who knows about Iowa?

01:04:37.960 We're probably not

01:04:38.380 going to know that now

01:04:39.120 until the next election cycle.

01:04:40.820 But he's way up

01:04:42.020 in New Hampshire.

01:04:43.020 He's gaining

01:04:44.040 in South Carolina,

01:04:45.280 even in the

01:04:46.020 Joe Biden firewall.

01:04:47.940 It just seems as though

01:04:49.280 that support has collapsed.

01:04:50.940 John Kerry is now saying

01:04:51.960 Bernie is going to

01:04:52.620 destroy the party.

01:04:53.360 He's going to run away

01:04:53.960 with it,

01:04:54.540 reportedly on the telephone

01:04:56.000 in New Hampshire.

01:04:57.180 John Kerry reportedly

01:04:58.320 considering running

01:04:59.740 for president again.

01:05:01.100 This guy got clobbered

01:05:02.160 in 2004.

01:05:03.160 That would be like

01:05:03.660 in 2012

01:05:04.540 if Bob Dole decided

01:05:05.760 he was going to run

01:05:06.440 for the nomination again.

01:05:07.940 That's the disarray

01:05:08.680 of the Democratic Party.

01:05:09.220 He would be just as spry

01:05:10.680 as he was

01:05:11.380 in 92,

01:05:12.920 I think.

01:05:13.860 All right,

01:05:14.280 back in just a second

01:05:15.420 with Michael Knowles.

01:05:17.340 Also,

01:07:51.880 program and the one

01:07:53.200 and only Michael

01:07:54.000 Knowles is with us,

01:07:55.500 joining us now.

01:07:56.360 I was flying here

01:07:57.080 yesterday and there

01:07:58.700 was an Asian guy,

01:07:59.760 a couple of rows behind

01:08:02.060 me, wearing a mask.

01:08:03.980 And I thought,

01:08:05.820 I just wanted to say,

01:08:07.300 dude, the masks

01:08:08.300 clearly don't work.

01:08:10.620 Everybody in China 0.52

01:08:11.920 is always wearing a

01:08:12.980 mask and everybody

01:08:14.080 is always sick and

01:08:15.240 dying from some

01:08:16.180 weird batter bird flu.

01:08:18.240 Stop it with the

01:08:19.360 masks.

01:08:20.500 But it was weird

01:08:21.940 because Rush, I

01:08:24.880 think, made this

01:08:25.540 announcement at

01:08:26.500 2.45 yesterday

01:08:28.680 and by 2.48,

01:08:34.080 it was everywhere.

01:08:35.340 Top trend on

01:08:36.120 Twitter.

01:08:36.620 Everywhere.

01:08:37.180 You know, I've been

01:08:37.920 doing this podcast in

01:08:38.960 the middle of the

01:08:39.400 night with Senator

01:08:39.940 Cruz, so if I can get

01:08:41.540 an hour of sleep here

01:08:42.540 or there, I try to do

01:08:43.280 it.

01:08:43.680 I had just laid down

01:08:44.800 to go to sleep.

01:08:46.000 Five minutes later,

01:08:46.760 my wife wakes me up 0.75

01:08:47.620 because the news was

01:08:48.580 that earth-shattering.

01:08:49.840 She had to tell me,

01:08:51.020 Rush Limbaugh has made

01:08:51.900 this announcement.

01:08:52.720 And I thought his

01:08:54.500 statement that he made

01:08:55.940 on his radio show was

01:08:57.620 really beautiful.

01:08:59.300 Because he got all

01:09:00.740 the hate that you

01:09:01.800 would expect from the

01:09:02.840 usual suspects on the

01:09:04.000 left.

01:09:04.800 Not just random

01:09:05.680 accounts, but the blue

01:09:06.820 check marks and the

01:09:07.780 people who have been

01:09:08.320 on CNN saying really

01:09:09.920 vile, awful things.

01:09:11.860 And Rush had this

01:09:12.600 amazing line in his

01:09:13.480 statement.

01:09:14.380 He said, you know, I

01:09:15.360 don't proselytize, I

01:09:16.320 don't talk about it

01:09:16.920 much, but I've got a

01:09:18.160 personal relationship

01:09:19.020 with God, and I'm

01:09:20.080 leaning on that

01:09:20.820 personal relationship

01:09:21.760 now a lot.

01:09:23.160 But it's very

01:09:23.840 important to me.

01:09:25.000 And it actually gave

01:09:26.540 me, as a listener,

01:09:27.500 as a longtime Rush

01:09:28.500 admirer, a lot of

01:09:30.060 comfort, because I

01:09:31.240 thought, you know, no

01:09:33.280 one here gets out

01:09:33.880 alive.

01:09:34.460 Rush Limbaugh has led

01:09:35.300 a pioneering,

01:09:36.200 unbelievable life.

01:09:37.560 Everyone's rooting for

01:09:38.420 him, everybody's

01:09:38.980 praying for him, but he

01:09:40.040 has lived really a

01:09:40.860 magnificent life.

01:09:42.260 The people who need

01:09:43.120 our prayers more are

01:09:44.320 probably the ones who

01:09:45.780 are cheering on this

01:09:46.760 news on Twitter with

01:09:48.200 the blue check marks

01:09:49.080 who are saying vile,

01:09:50.060 terrible things.

01:09:51.500 They're the ones.

01:09:52.580 Oh, shut up. 0.99

01:09:53.500 I just, it's just.

01:09:55.820 Is that the way you

01:09:56.400 feel when I say

01:09:57.240 something Gandhi-like?

01:09:59.280 Oh, just shut up. 0.99

01:10:00.800 Stop it, Michael.

01:10:01.760 I mean, it really, it's

01:10:02.600 just, because you don't

01:10:03.900 see, when you listen to

01:10:05.180 Rush, right, he talks

01:10:06.020 about talent on loan

01:10:07.120 from God, half his brain

01:10:08.160 tied behind his back.

01:10:09.240 But he said in the

01:10:10.540 statement, he said, when

01:10:11.740 I talk about myself, it's

01:10:12.780 satirical, right?

01:10:13.960 He's actually, he's the

01:10:15.200 guy who's just delivering

01:10:16.840 the news, telling you the

01:10:18.040 truth.

01:10:18.380 And it's, it is, there's

01:10:21.900 a reason it was the top

01:10:22.740 trend of news all day

01:10:24.320 yesterday.

01:10:24.980 I mean, he, he is the

01:10:26.220 man.

01:10:27.000 And he is not that guy.

01:10:31.700 He's not, he's not the

01:10:32.680 big ego guy.

01:10:33.500 He's not.

01:10:34.300 He is shockingly, I

01:10:37.960 think, almost unaware of

01:10:39.860 how big he is.

01:10:42.440 You know what I'm talking

01:10:43.600 about?

01:10:44.180 It's hard to not know when

01:10:45.420 the checks come in.

01:10:46.640 Uh, no, but there's a

01:10:49.820 difference between checks

01:10:51.740 and, uh, and just

01:10:54.500 believing your own, own

01:10:56.120 hype.

01:10:56.460 And I think he, he doesn't

01:10:58.300 believe his own hype.

01:10:59.320 And I don't think he, he

01:11:00.600 questions any hype or any

01:11:02.860 truth about him.

01:11:04.420 And you know, the other

01:11:05.100 thing is that these people

01:11:05.940 are saying terrible things.

01:11:07.460 Not, not one of them has

01:11:09.200 ever listened to the

01:11:10.240 Rush Limbaugh show.

01:11:11.140 Not, not one of them has

01:11:12.280 listened to more than the

01:11:13.160 two minute sound bites that

01:11:14.560 some awful left wing 0.96

01:11:15.660 operative sends out.

01:11:17.280 And if they listened, maybe

01:11:18.200 they would learn something.

01:11:19.120 Right.

01:11:19.620 Right.

01:11:20.340 So what is your, how old

01:11:21.740 are you?

01:11:22.220 I am 12 years old is what

01:11:23.600 people tell me.

01:11:24.480 I am 29, about to turn

01:11:25.840 30.

01:11:26.060 You're 29.

01:11:26.440 So what is your relationship

01:11:28.920 with Rush?

01:11:30.780 First, I mean.

01:11:31.980 Rush is, he, I also have a

01:11:34.520 personal relationship with

01:11:35.440 God, so I won't call him

01:11:36.540 that high.

01:11:37.220 But he is definitely a

01:11:38.840 lower deity or something.

01:11:40.240 I mean, he, he's just the

01:11:42.100 guy that you grow up with

01:11:43.880 as, he is, he's the guy.

01:11:47.460 He is conservative

01:11:48.880 broadcasting.

01:11:49.720 I mean, I've, I've been a

01:11:51.080 long time fan of yours since

01:11:52.420 I was a kid as well.

01:11:54.400 And Mark Levin and other

01:11:55.940 people.

01:11:56.540 But Rush was the first.

01:11:58.080 I mean, he was the man who

01:11:59.160 invented the whole industry.

01:12:00.500 Yeah.

01:12:00.740 And so the idea.

01:12:03.140 He's the guy who saved, I'm

01:12:04.700 a radio guy.

01:12:05.720 Right.

01:12:05.900 He's the guy who saved the

01:12:08.260 AM radio ban.

01:12:09.860 If, if, if, if Rush Limbaugh

01:12:11.940 just was removed from the

01:12:15.060 scenario, there would be no

01:12:17.000 AM radio anymore.

01:12:18.380 Right.

01:12:18.740 And so you wonder as somebody

01:12:20.840 who grew up, like I have not

01:12:22.420 lived in a world where Rush

01:12:24.240 Limbaugh was not dominating

01:12:26.160 the news, dominating

01:12:28.120 conservative talk.

01:12:29.240 The idea that that could be

01:12:30.940 shaken, it, it, it, it's

01:12:33.540 impossible to believe.

01:12:34.940 What are your thoughts?

01:12:36.020 Yesterday's too.

01:12:37.120 I mean, he, you know, Rush

01:12:37.920 Limbaugh is at least partially

01:12:39.860 responsible for me being a

01:12:41.520 conservative.

01:12:42.240 I mean, I, you know, I, I

01:12:43.160 think I may have wound up

01:12:44.660 that way.

01:12:45.100 My, you know, parents were

01:12:45.960 kind, but they weren't really

01:12:47.100 political.

01:12:47.920 I don't know where I would have

01:12:48.800 wound up, but I remember

01:12:49.740 after high school listening to

01:12:52.180 Rush.

01:12:52.960 Um, and you know, I just

01:12:55.280 remember him having the answer

01:12:56.840 for everything, all these

01:12:58.320 things you'd hear on

01:12:59.140 mainstream media and all of

01:13:00.360 these arguments that you'd

01:13:01.360 hear from the left, which I

01:13:02.480 was barely acquainted with at

01:13:03.840 the time, but every single

01:13:05.280 time, one of those would

01:13:06.520 come up and you'd think

01:13:07.360 it's like law and order,

01:13:08.340 you know, when like the

01:13:08.840 first attorney goes, you're

01:13:09.720 like, Oh, that guy

01:13:10.140 definitely murdered him.

01:13:11.200 And then the defense

01:13:12.000 person goes, there's no

01:13:12.960 waiver and it's all set up.

01:13:14.480 You have that.

01:13:14.760 You go back and forth

01:13:15.540 depending on what argument

01:13:16.360 you're hearing.

01:13:16.840 That's how you are in your

01:13:17.720 formative years.

01:13:18.400 And, you know, it wasn't like

01:13:20.460 that with Rush because they

01:13:21.320 never had answers for what he

01:13:22.560 said, you know, they never

01:13:24.180 attempted to answer.

01:13:26.100 Yeah.

01:13:26.420 And they ignored him to their

01:13:27.600 own, uh, their own, uh, you

01:13:29.440 know, demise and demise.

01:13:31.320 And they, they talked badly

01:13:33.000 about talk radio, et cetera,

01:13:34.660 et cetera.

01:13:35.340 And then they tried it and

01:13:37.220 none of them could ever

01:13:38.480 succeed.

01:13:39.080 Oh, remember those efforts?

01:13:40.240 Yeah.

01:13:40.520 Those cute little efforts at

01:13:41.480 left wing talk radio.

01:13:42.520 Yeah.

01:13:42.980 It's kind of like, it's nice

01:13:44.680 because it's kind of like they

01:13:45.980 look at us like, Oh, look at

01:13:47.580 that cute little Christian

01:13:48.460 movie.

01:13:49.400 Oh, they're out there making

01:13:50.420 another movie.

01:13:51.380 Isn't that neat?

01:13:52.420 And you know, the great

01:13:53.180 Testament, of course, the

01:13:54.320 reason they hated him so

01:13:55.300 much is he was just so damn

01:13:56.900 effective.

01:13:57.520 Yeah.

01:13:57.700 Yeah.

01:13:58.520 Yeah.

01:13:58.700 And you see that, I mean,

01:13:59.380 this is conservative media

01:14:00.700 does really well when it comes

01:14:01.740 to open markets, as we just

01:14:02.720 said, you know, Ted Cruz and

01:14:03.720 Michael Knowles, the number

01:14:04.560 one podcast in America with

01:14:05.860 the verdict.

01:14:06.560 I mean, like when there is an

01:14:07.680 open playing, open rules,

01:14:10.220 free market, you see

01:14:11.980 conservative stuff rises to

01:14:13.280 the top often.

01:14:14.080 It's when it's like the

01:14:14.780 studio system and it's a lot

01:14:16.440 harder to get things made.

01:14:17.580 But that is even turning

01:14:18.860 around now with technology

01:14:19.960 and capitalism.

01:14:20.860 So he is also a, you

01:14:25.460 know, like I look at, I

01:14:27.200 look at Steve Jobs and

01:14:29.940 and I think here's a guy who

01:14:34.320 got out of college because he

01:14:36.240 knew.

01:14:37.780 Rush is a guy who I don't

01:14:40.080 know if he, if he chose or

01:14:42.300 just couldn't afford.

01:14:43.140 I was a guy who couldn't

01:14:44.460 afford college until I was

01:14:45.860 30.

01:14:46.420 I had to pay for myself.

01:14:48.480 And Rush was also a disc

01:14:52.840 jockey.

01:14:53.660 And he's always hammered by

01:14:56.060 the left for those two

01:14:57.940 things.

01:14:58.600 But those two things made

01:15:00.740 him effective.

01:15:02.140 He's a good entertainer to be

01:15:04.660 a disc jockey, at least in the

01:15:06.820 old days.

01:15:07.380 You had to be smart and you

01:15:10.060 had to be able to think on

01:15:12.380 your feet and move quickly,

01:15:13.840 which nobody in television has

01:15:17.340 that.

01:15:17.720 Nobody and they can't teach

01:15:19.280 that.

01:15:19.800 The other thing is, is that

01:15:22.040 because he wasn't taught what

01:15:24.880 to think, he thinks differently.

01:15:28.260 You know, there's this line we

01:15:29.560 were talking about Gandhi-esque

01:15:30.840 statements before.

01:15:31.820 There's this line from

01:15:32.480 Chesterton said, the angels can

01:15:34.120 fly because they can take

01:15:35.040 themselves lightly.

01:15:36.160 There's nothing dignified about

01:15:37.960 boring your audience to death.

01:15:39.680 And you talk about the fusion

01:15:40.740 of entertainment and

01:15:41.680 enlightenment.

01:15:42.140 If you can bring these ideas

01:15:44.960 to life out of this rigid,

01:15:47.520 desiccated university structure,

01:15:49.600 that's a wonderful thing.

01:15:51.300 And obviously it has a major

01:15:52.400 cultural impact.

01:15:54.440 All right.

01:15:54.780 Michael, is your podcast, is it

01:15:57.260 over now that the impeachment

01:15:58.540 is over tomorrow?

01:15:59.600 We are insisting on keeping 1.00

01:16:02.060 this thing going because it's

01:16:03.380 just too much fun.

01:16:04.340 And obviously the senator hates

01:16:06.440 sleeping.

01:16:07.020 So I guess are you living here

01:16:08.620 in Washington?

01:16:09.360 Are you commuting back and

01:16:10.840 forth?

01:16:11.120 Every day that goes by in my

01:16:12.480 hotel, I start to wonder that

01:16:14.060 question more and more.

01:16:15.160 We're going to be heading back

01:16:16.200 to L.A. pretty soon.

01:16:17.360 But we would like to keep the

01:16:19.000 show going if we can.

01:16:20.580 Obviously, the senator is a

01:16:21.620 little busier than I am.

01:16:22.780 Yeah.

01:16:23.120 But we didn't expect it to have

01:16:25.140 the impact it has.

01:16:25.920 We didn't expect it to hit

01:16:26.820 number one.

01:16:27.360 So what do you expect from the

01:16:30.140 president tonight?

01:16:31.400 Is he going to say anything

01:16:32.600 about impeachment?

01:16:33.920 If the vote had happened

01:16:36.440 today or yesterday, it would

01:16:39.320 have been the wildest state of

01:16:41.260 the union in American history.

01:16:43.200 But because of who President

01:16:45.760 Trump is, it might still be

01:16:47.420 anyway.

01:16:47.880 Yes.

01:16:48.280 Yes.

01:16:48.920 Yes.

01:16:49.640 All right.

01:16:49.940 Thank you so much, Michael.

01:16:50.680 Appreciate it.

01:16:51.700 All right.

01:16:52.340 Back in just a second.

01:16:54.280 Stand by.

01:16:55.540 We have Nigel Farage coming up

01:16:58.040 in just a few minutes.

01:16:58.660 I had dinner with Nigel last

01:17:00.300 night.

01:17:00.620 I was on a plane and I saw

01:17:02.260 Louie Gohmert and he said,

01:17:03.660 hey, you should have dinner.

01:17:05.340 You want to have dinner with

01:17:05.980 Nigel Farage?

01:17:06.760 And I said, sure.

01:17:08.700 OK.

01:17:09.880 So we all the time.

01:17:11.220 Yeah.

01:17:11.460 We spent a couple of hours and

01:17:15.260 it was good because other

01:17:17.500 people were buying him drinks

01:17:18.960 and I was just looking at it.

01:17:20.860 Keep him flowing.

01:17:21.840 I'm pumping him for

01:17:22.720 information.

01:17:23.420 Keep him flowing.

01:17:25.080 But he's still alive after

01:17:26.320 Brexit.

01:17:26.680 I thought everyone was going

01:17:27.980 to die.

01:17:28.620 No, no.

01:17:29.420 And you know what?

01:17:30.080 They they actually said at

01:17:32.680 one point that people would

01:17:35.060 die from and I'm not making 0.99

01:17:37.140 this up.

01:17:38.020 Super gonorrhea.

01:17:39.900 If Brexit happened.

01:17:41.560 Super mega gonorrhea.

01:17:43.280 It was just super gonorrhea.

01:17:45.420 And so far he does not have it.

01:17:47.980 At least that he would admit to

01:17:49.960 last night.

01:17:50.720 So we'll talk to Nigel Farage

01:17:53.100 be in our studios here in

01:17:54.260 Washington, D.C.

01:17:55.040 here in in just a minute.

01:18:13.880 I'm like, oh, my doctor's

01:18:15.080 never heard about.

01:18:17.100 Because they're not they're not

01:18:18.680 sending stuff to your doctor in

01:18:20.440 the first place.

01:18:57.680 It's Relief Factor dot com.

01:19:00.700 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:19:02.460 I'm going to start with the

01:19:29.440 count.

01:19:29.640 We have a microphone thanks to

01:19:36.580 the Steve Dace program who's

01:19:38.060 going to be on immediately

01:19:39.960 following this program on Blaze

01:19:41.820 TV and radio.

01:19:43.420 We have a microphone now where

01:19:45.200 they are actually going over the

01:19:46.820 counts in Iowa.

01:19:49.520 Can we just open that up and see

01:19:50.900 what's...

01:19:51.240 Five, two, three, four, five, six,

01:19:54.860 seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

01:19:58.920 twelve, thirteen, four, six...

01:20:01.460 So they're still counting.

01:20:02.800 Those are all right.

01:20:03.340 And what?

01:20:04.060 Those are all right.

01:20:05.040 Right.

01:20:05.360 And they've got the experts in to do

01:20:09.180 it.

01:20:10.140 So...

01:20:10.540 Iowa has released a statement.

01:20:12.880 This is from the Iowa Democratic

01:20:14.180 Party.

01:20:14.740 Yeah.

01:20:14.900 It says it plans to release caucus results as soon as possible.

01:20:19.940 Okay, I had that one at 8 o'clock last night.

01:20:22.920 I was worried that they were going to think, you know what, these are possible to release, but let's hold on to them for a while.

01:20:26.980 Yeah.

01:20:27.660 And no, as soon as possible.

01:20:29.460 So is that an urgent message from the Democrats?

01:20:31.840 That's legitimately a major announcement they just made.

01:20:34.640 Right.

01:20:35.080 They said they determined it was due to a coding issue in the reporting system.

01:20:39.240 The issue was identified and fixed.

01:20:41.380 The application's reporting issue did not impact the ability of precinct chairs to report data accurately.

01:20:46.440 It took longer than expected, they are admitting now, which is, even if I've never seen them be so transparent.

01:20:54.080 As part of our investigation, we determined that with certainty, the underlying data collected via the app was sound.

01:21:00.600 So they say they have the right results.

01:21:02.540 What they don't say is what they are.

01:21:05.280 They know they're right.

01:21:06.880 They just don't know what they are.

01:21:08.620 It doesn't make sense.

01:21:09.260 It really, I mean, how do you say you have three systems?

01:21:15.960 No, no, don't worry about it.

01:21:16.940 There's no problem.

01:21:17.580 We have three systems.

01:21:18.600 We're taking photographs of everything.

01:21:20.940 Uh-huh.

01:21:21.800 And we're counting and we're recording it by hand.

01:21:24.720 Uh-huh.

01:21:25.180 Uh-huh.

01:21:26.540 Oh, and we're doing the app.

01:21:29.080 Yeah, well, one of the big things they decided, and this has been something that's been spread around a lot of people who are experts on these things, is when they put in the digital voting systems to cure the hanging in Chad system from back in the day and spent tons and tons of money, they put in these systems but then didn't have any sort of paper backup.

01:21:48.260 So they would go and they would not know if votes were being changed in the digital process.

01:21:54.880 Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

01:21:56.080 No, not at all.

01:21:57.220 So this was supposed to solve that problem, and now they can't even get us the results.

01:22:02.620 It really is incredible.

01:22:03.780 I mean, the incompetence.

01:22:05.560 I mean, they're asking to run a country, and they can't get their stupid caucus right.

01:22:10.800 It's incredible.

01:22:11.520 These are a bunch of people standing in a room where their main job is to tell us how many people voted for who.

01:22:19.220 This is not a process that should take more than a few minutes in the year 2020.

01:22:23.420 And what's crazy is the conspiracies are coming from the left.

01:22:27.240 The conspiracies are coming from, look it, see, they're throwing the election.

01:22:31.080 Well, wait, so then why would you want an even more powerful party or government?

01:22:41.440 You already know that people go corrupt.

01:22:44.520 Yeah.

01:22:45.380 Why would you remove all of the things that prevent corruption?

01:22:50.520 Why would you add more people into it and central plan everything when you can see the corruption that happens with people?

01:23:00.000 Yeah.

01:23:00.660 I mean, why give them more power?

01:23:02.020 We realize how this stuff works out, and it happens every single time with them.

01:23:05.680 You know, the Obamacare website is a good example of this too.

01:23:08.340 I mean, how much money did they dump into that thing and they couldn't even get it started?

01:23:11.200 A million.

01:23:11.580 I mean, it was a complete and utter disaster, and this happens over and over and over again.

01:23:15.180 And what do they do?

01:23:16.120 They come back and say, number one, the only way we can solve this is for you to give us more power.

01:23:19.660 And then number two, without any irony at all, they explain to us that the system that they passed to fix health care

01:23:27.260 now needs to be completely overturned because it's a piece of crap and everyone's dying.

01:23:31.220 And you need to give us more power so we can do the new thing that we want to do that this time is really going to work.

01:23:35.840 So here's what's crazy about this is it was not like they were overwhelmed by people.

01:23:41.960 The Iowa Democratic Caucus failed to reach the record turnout levels of 2008 when President Obama soared to victory.

01:23:50.620 Well, who was expecting that?

01:23:54.320 Who was expecting that?

01:23:55.920 I mean, you know that no one is happy with any of the supporters, but it shows that it's not only that they're not happy with the candidates that are running.

01:24:10.120 It shows that even the candidates that are running, they don't really have a passionate base.

01:24:17.660 Yeah, no, I mean, it's true.

01:24:19.100 You know, it seems like it's all up to Bernie Sanders now is the one with the passion.

01:24:25.240 It really is.

01:24:25.900 By the way, they did that unreleased poll as well that did not come out in the Des Moines Register.

01:24:30.820 I don't know if we talked about that, but it had Sanders at 22, Warren 18, Buttigieg 16, Biden 13.

01:24:36.300 Biden is over.

01:24:37.800 It does seem like it's tanking at the moment.

01:24:40.000 Biden is over.

01:24:41.080 He's still got a firewall in theory in South Carolina, but he loses those first three states.

01:24:46.420 That's not going to be a firewall anymore.

01:24:48.120 He needs to do something.

01:24:49.160 Well, it is a firewall.

01:24:50.200 He's just on the wrong side of it.

01:24:52.020 He's like, help, let me in.

01:24:53.940 I'm on fire.

01:24:55.020 Help, help.

01:24:55.880 Help.

01:25:05.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:25:16.420 All right.

01:25:19.940 New year deserves a new pair of Decovis boots.

01:26:17.860 Western goods for new frontiers.

01:26:21.160 So how do you think Joe Biden's feeling today?

01:26:24.800 You can tell by the way he's talking.

01:26:26.680 He's not feeling good.

01:26:27.540 He does not think he did very well.

01:26:29.080 I think he, I think that makes him happy.

01:26:31.980 I'm not sure he wanted to win.

01:26:33.760 No?

01:26:34.200 No.

01:26:34.540 The last couple of weeks, he's like, look, let me show you my CAT scan.

01:26:38.740 I am not a healthy guy.

01:26:40.240 We really need a good, strong vice president.

01:26:43.460 Yeah.

01:26:43.780 No, he's had a few weird moments telling voters not to vote for him.

01:26:47.040 Yeah.

01:26:47.060 And it seemed to work.

01:26:48.140 His campaign of vote for someone else seems to be working.

01:26:52.420 So he is influential after all.

01:26:53.740 He really is.

01:26:54.680 Coming up in just a minute, final hour of the radio broadcast, we have Nigel Farage on with

01:27:02.460 us who gave this incredible speech last week in the EU saying, you know, see you later in a very nice way and was silenced, if I'm not mistaken, by the, I don't know, the speaker or whatever the hell they have is in charge.

01:27:21.540 She was Irish and I thought that was part of Great Britain, but maybe I'm, maybe I'm wrong.

01:27:29.260 She did not like the British flag.

01:27:32.540 She did not like what Nigel had to say.

01:27:35.960 We'll talk to him coming up in just a second from our studios here in Washington, D.C.

01:27:40.440 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:28:02.800 Well, apparently CNN was right last week when they said that people in the middle of the country can't count, except they were Democrats.

01:28:14.540 They couldn't count the Iowa caucus.

01:28:17.120 We still have nothing but zeros.

01:28:20.100 And I mean that numerically, but also as candidates as well.

01:28:25.120 We are following it.

01:28:27.100 They just came out and said the DNC understands this is a problem, but we want you to know.

01:28:32.800 We're going to come out with those numbers as soon as we can.

01:28:36.800 Oh, okay.

01:28:37.720 Well, no rush.

01:28:38.720 Take your time.

01:28:40.060 Get into a little bit of that.

01:28:41.220 Also, Nigel Farage is with us.

01:28:45.420 The guy who stood up in the EU 20 years ago and said, this is ridiculous.

01:28:55.240 I want to abolish this whole system.

01:28:57.700 And it's because of him that English, the English now and the Great Britain is free of the EU, or at least they're on that road.

01:29:09.160 And you, of course, know this because economically, the world has just gone into a giant sinkhole over the last couple of days and everyone has super gonorrhea.

01:29:18.880 We'll talk to him coming up in one minute.

01:30:25.780 Nigel Farage, formerly with the EU.

01:30:43.180 Welcome to the broadcaster.

01:30:45.120 Good morning.

01:30:45.780 Yes, I was made redundant at 11 o'clock last Friday evening.

01:30:50.220 I was the turkey that kept on voting for Christmas.

01:30:53.020 Right, yeah.

01:30:53.280 So I'm unemployed.

01:30:54.240 Yeah, that's great.

01:30:55.240 That's great.

01:30:55.780 It's really great.

01:30:56.220 Yeah.

01:30:56.660 So your speech last week was absolutely tremendous.

01:31:01.740 It, I have likened it to a shot heard around the world.

01:31:06.360 Um, all of our, um, governments, it seems in the West have this flu, this pandemic of not

01:31:16.600 listening to the people, the people will vote, the people will speak, they'll get in, the

01:31:21.420 politicians will say one thing, but they'll do another. 0.98

01:31:23.660 You guys actually broke the back of two systems, the corrupt system in England that was all the

01:31:33.340 politicians that were just playing that game and the EU.

01:31:38.540 Yes.

01:31:39.220 I mean, firstly, you know, if you look at, I can take broadcasting for argument's sake, the

01:31:43.420 dominance of the BBC, our state broadcaster, which we have to pay 150 pounds every year

01:31:48.880 to have, uh, and they were, they've always been wall to wall pro the globalist project.

01:31:54.900 Um, and as you say, literally a handful of exceptions in the whole of the house of commons

01:32:00.680 in Westminster, they were all pro EU.

01:32:02.980 Uh, it kind of makes the referendum result in 2016 almost a miracle, you know, because

01:32:09.420 those, we don't, we don't understand this here in America.

01:32:12.680 Um, you know, we were talking about Rush Limbaugh now being very ill and you know,

01:32:18.880 you don't have that.

01:32:20.200 You don't have talk radio.

01:32:21.680 You, you can't say the things that I can say.

01:32:25.380 So there's, there's no rallying, uh, cry except that individual voice that happens to break

01:32:32.440 through and somebody covers.

01:32:35.080 Yeah.

01:32:35.240 I mean, for me, what made it for me was my speeches in the EU parliament 10 years ago.

01:32:40.220 And sure, the BBC wouldn't cover anything I ever said or did, but YouTube came along.

01:32:44.900 Yeah.

01:32:45.060 So suddenly, suddenly I was doing stuff and saying stuff and beginning to reach big audiences

01:32:50.220 through YouTube.

01:32:51.480 And, you know, once you've got several million views, then the BBC are kind of forced to

01:32:55.980 give you a platform of some kind.

01:32:57.380 So that for me was what made it.

01:32:58.760 We would never ever have achieved Brexit if it hadn't been for the growth of the internet.

01:33:03.080 Um, and we, you know, we won that referendum, but it's taken us three and a half years to

01:33:08.480 get delivery on it because we've had former prime ministers.

01:33:11.700 We've had businesses, politicians literally saying that the result wasn't valid, that

01:33:18.180 the Russians interfered or we hypnotized everybody or, but in the end we got there and I tell 0.83

01:33:24.100 you what is significant.

01:33:25.080 I was talking yesterday to Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister and a big

01:33:28.720 political thinker.

01:33:29.960 And he says Brexit is the biggest geopolitical change since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

01:33:35.680 I agree.

01:33:36.120 And I think we've dealt an absolutely fatal hammer blow to the globalist project.

01:33:41.820 And I, you know, I've always wanted my country to be outside the EU because I think we should

01:33:46.340 be an independent, self-governing democracy.

01:33:48.620 But I'm not finished yet because I want to bring down the entire EU project.

01:33:52.480 So now here's the, here's the issue.

01:33:54.700 Um, we're seeing this with, with Donald Trump.

01:33:57.240 Donald Trump is a hand grenade.

01:33:59.480 You're a hand grenade.

01:34:00.920 Um, and that hand grenade goes off and it's not like nobody in the media in Great Britain,

01:34:07.460 nobody in the EU, correct me if I'm wrong, is, is going to take the time to go, you know

01:34:13.460 what?

01:34:13.920 I mean, England, they were such good partners.

01:34:16.460 We lost them.

01:34:17.560 What were we doing wrong?

01:34:19.000 They're not doing that.

01:34:19.880 They're, they're doubling down.

01:34:22.280 In fact, they, yeah, their conclusion and that debate that I was in last week that you

01:34:26.580 talked about until they kicked me out, but I've been kicked out of better places than

01:34:30.300 that.

01:34:30.440 It's fine.

01:34:31.440 But it was interesting in that debate, speakers were saying, well, with Brexit, you know, what

01:34:35.380 do we do to stop other countries leaving?

01:34:37.280 And their conclusion is more centralization.

01:34:40.240 Their conclusion is more bureaucracy.

01:34:42.300 They just don't get it.

01:34:44.640 They're not listening to ordinary folk.

01:34:46.760 And I'll tell you something, you know, we could go right now into.

01:34:50.080 Outside Paris into rural France.

01:34:52.460 And we would have a conversation with French people very much along the lines that you

01:34:55.840 and I are now.

01:34:57.480 And at the end of the day, you know, people want to live in a nation state.

01:35:03.080 They want to have a flag.

01:35:04.660 They want to have an identity.

01:35:06.420 They've got their own, you know, culture.

01:35:08.080 And I'm all for, you know, Europe, where we cooperate with each other.

01:35:13.040 We're friendly with each other.

01:35:14.140 We're next door neighbors with each other.

01:35:15.540 But the idea that we're going to abolish the great ancient states of Europe and hand all

01:35:21.400 this power to these people in Brussels, it's never, ever going to work.

01:35:25.220 And the sooner it's, the sooner it's ended, the better.

01:35:28.680 So how do you get the elites?

01:35:31.720 I mean, you know, this is, this is why there are revolutions and why France had guillotines

01:35:38.340 because they just don't get it.

01:35:42.020 They think they're above you.

01:35:45.480 Nothing's going to change their minds.

01:35:47.660 The people are revolting.

01:35:50.400 Yes, they are.

01:35:51.360 Very revolting.

01:35:52.000 They're very revolting.

01:35:53.140 Repulsive.

01:35:53.820 Right, right.

01:35:55.080 They're deplorable.

01:35:56.740 And so how do you, how do you see this continuing without real revolution?

01:36:04.440 Well, it's very interesting that the British have been through a revolution, but it's been

01:36:09.100 a relatively peaceful revolution.

01:36:10.440 Very peaceful.

01:36:11.460 For nearly half a century, the Conservative Party were the key proponents and supporters of

01:36:18.340 the European project.

01:36:19.360 Despite the fact their voters weren't, but they were.

01:36:23.020 Sounds familiar.

01:36:23.940 I came along and challenged, you know, their assumptions.

01:36:27.900 I mean, the reason David Cameron offered us a referendum was I was eating into his vote

01:36:31.500 in a very dramatic way.

01:36:33.020 Then last year, then last year, over three years, no Brexit, a weak Prime Minister and

01:36:38.680 Mrs May, and we had to fight a European election.

01:36:41.180 And I formed a brand new party, the Brexit Party.

01:36:44.000 We won the election.

01:36:45.840 The Conservative Party got less than 10% of the vote in a national election.

01:36:50.020 And they looked into the mirror and they said, either we become Nigel Farage or we're finished.

01:36:56.920 So what's happened is the Conservative Party are now saying all of the right things.

01:37:02.000 And that's that's the shape of the revolution.

01:37:04.180 Well, that's what we have.

01:37:06.360 They'll say a lot of stuff.

01:37:08.080 They're saying the right things.

01:37:09.860 But actually, do you know what?

01:37:11.300 I think there is a fundamental sea change has now occurred in British politics.

01:37:14.000 I think they realize that if they try to betray the promises they've made again, they are

01:37:19.820 electorally going to be finished.

01:37:21.920 So I think I think we've got this to the right place now.

01:37:25.000 And even even Tony Blair, you know, who is a ghastly globalist, even Tony Blair said on

01:37:31.440 Friday, look, we have to accept it and try and make the best.

01:37:34.700 Yeah.

01:37:34.840 Well, Bill Clinton also said the era of big government is over.

01:37:40.500 Maybe I've been too trusting.

01:37:42.520 But, hey, look, you know, I mean, I'm speaking to you in the sort of still euphoria of being

01:37:49.700 in Parliament Square.

01:37:50.720 So why is for people who don't understand why is why is the EU so evil?

01:37:58.120 Why is it so bad?

01:37:59.640 It's the globalist project.

01:38:00.940 All right.

01:38:01.220 The EU is the epicenter of the globalist project.

01:38:04.240 And there are many in America in the Democrats who, of course, I mean, had Hillary one last

01:38:08.300 time.

01:38:08.740 She was all for tying America closely into the European single market. 0.57

01:38:12.520 What it's about, it's about literally the abolition of nation state democracies and its

01:38:19.560 replacement with supranational government, government at a higher level where the big

01:38:24.720 decisions are made by people that you can't vote for and you can't remove.

01:38:29.120 And guess who supports this?

01:38:31.400 The giant multinational businesses.

01:38:34.660 They love it because the more bureaucratic, the more rules and regulations, the harder

01:38:40.340 it is for small and medium sized competitors to come along.

01:38:43.900 So it's kind of what the EU has done.

01:38:46.040 It's destroyed capitalism.

01:38:46.900 It's replaced it with this new form of corporatism where big business, big banks, big politics

01:38:53.820 operate hand in glove to their own benefit and to the distress of virtually everybody

01:38:58.920 else.

01:38:59.500 And they've they've kind of they've virtually purchased the political class across Europe.

01:39:05.060 But I think now, now that Brexit's happened, I'm sure there are more debates to be had

01:39:09.580 about the shape of trade deals and whatever.

01:39:11.700 But I now think there's going to be a conversation happening in every European country.

01:39:16.620 You know, why did the British leave?

01:39:18.040 And once once they understand the logic of that position, I think we can get back to the

01:39:22.260 nation state, you know, being the building block.

01:39:25.100 So do you see anybody on in the media or in politics that is starting to wake up anywhere?

01:39:30.920 Well, I think the Italians, I mean, you know, the Italians, I mean, they're, of course,

01:39:34.880 quite a volatile people.

01:39:37.260 Just don't get them together with the Germans. 1.00

01:39:39.120 I mean, I love them, but I think, you know, Italy was taken into a currency called the euro

01:39:43.600 20 years ago.

01:39:45.060 It's basically the Deutsche Mark.

01:39:47.620 You know, I mean, this is a German currency.

01:39:50.740 It hasn't suited Italy.

01:39:52.160 Italy, you've got a country there now where there's been zero growth for 20 years.

01:39:58.460 I mean, whole parts of the north of Italy, which in the 1990s, when I was in business,

01:40:03.220 I would visit and they were vibrant manufacturing cities.

01:40:07.220 It's gone.

01:40:08.100 It's dead.

01:40:09.080 And I think there comes a point where the Italians and they're beginning to have this conversation.

01:40:13.300 There's a guy called Matteo Salvini, you know, who's a very prominent politician in Italy.

01:40:18.220 And I think there comes a point where the Italians say, you know what?

01:40:21.120 Like, this is hurting us.

01:40:23.280 We can't go on with this.

01:40:24.560 You've got countries like Poland and Hungary, countries who only 30 years ago got out from

01:40:30.180 the Soviet Union, got out from Moscow telling them what they couldn't.

01:40:33.720 And now what have they got?

01:40:34.920 They've now got Brussels telling them what they can and can't do.

01:40:38.760 And just think of it.

01:40:40.560 I mean, how can Germany and Greece be in the same country together?

01:40:44.220 They're culturally so far apart.

01:40:46.460 And I, you know, I'm not anti-European.

01:40:49.240 I love Europe.

01:40:50.460 I love the diversity of Europe, you know, the mix of all the different cultures.

01:40:54.140 But that's what they're getting rid of is the diversity.

01:40:56.340 But they're trying to homogenize us.

01:40:57.560 Yes.

01:40:57.960 They're trying to harmonize us.

01:40:59.220 They're trying to pasteurize us.

01:41:00.680 You know, they're trying to create a new European people. 0.96

01:41:04.200 And that's why they've got a flag.

01:41:05.820 It's why they've got an anthem.

01:41:07.400 It's why they want an army.

01:41:08.680 And there are many, there are many, particularly sort of Trotskyites, who see the European Union

01:41:15.140 as being the prototype for one global government.

01:41:18.720 That's what the globalist project is all about.

01:41:21.120 And I do believe that Brexit is the first real kickback against it.

01:41:25.520 And it's the beginning of the end.

01:41:26.660 All right.

01:41:26.840 So I want to talk about that globally here with Nigel Farage some more here in one minute.

01:41:31.820 Stand by.

01:41:32.340 Give me 60 seconds.

01:41:33.260 And let me tell you about Valentine's Day.

01:41:39.960 Tip for you.

01:41:40.600 Not all rose bouquets are created equal.

01:41:43.120 Do you guys have Valentine's Day?

01:41:44.420 We certainly do.

01:41:45.140 You do.

01:41:46.440 Do you hate it as much as?

01:41:48.580 I mean, it's a made-up holiday.

01:41:49.940 I think it's a rather false invention.

01:41:52.520 And I think love either comes naturally.

01:41:55.540 You can't force it.

01:41:56.440 Yeah.

01:41:56.960 Yeah.

01:41:58.080 But if you don't get something, at least a card, you're doomed.

01:42:02.240 You're doomed.

01:42:02.900 Trust me.

01:42:03.600 I've had two wives.

01:42:04.580 I know.

01:42:05.320 I know.

01:42:06.680 Head over to 1-800-Flowers.com.

01:42:54.000 It ends today.

01:42:56.040 All right.

01:42:56.400 We paused for 10 seconds.

01:42:57.500 Station ID.

01:42:57.960 So you guys go through prime ministers like I go through Cinnabons.

01:43:14.720 I mean, it's ridiculous how often you seem to be going through them.

01:43:20.240 It didn't used to be like that.

01:43:21.560 But that is what the European debate has done.

01:43:25.320 I mean, arguably, I've personally got rid of two prime ministers.

01:43:29.660 I mean, Mrs. May resigned last year the day after the European elections, you know, because we'd smashed her. 0.98

01:43:36.900 She went, and Cameron resigned because I forced him to call a referendum, which he lost.

01:43:41.660 So, yeah, it's been a...

01:43:42.740 I mean, we have had, in five years in the UK, we've had a major national referendum and three general elections.

01:43:53.000 Nothing like it has ever been seen before.

01:43:56.120 And the reason is this.

01:43:58.500 The referendum, we were promised, however we voted, it would be delivered.

01:44:03.400 The will of the people would be respected.

01:44:05.280 But was it hell?

01:44:07.480 Was it hell?

01:44:08.680 And what you've seen, basically, is the establishment trying their best not to deliver Brexit, but then in the end being forced to do so.

01:44:16.680 So you get rid of the prime ministers, but you also got rid of one of my favorite guys, the guy who was just like, order, order.

01:44:25.020 Who was that guy?

01:44:26.020 He was great.

01:44:26.700 Yeah, thank goodness he's gone.

01:44:29.320 He may have been entertaining to an American public.

01:44:32.100 No, to Americans, that was great.

01:44:33.960 But believe you me, he was using every trick in the book to try and stop Brexit from happening.

01:44:40.680 Well, what's his role?

01:44:42.320 Well, the Speaker of the Parliament, I mean, he has the casting vote if there was a tie.

01:44:47.100 His job is to decide what the order of business is.

01:44:51.020 Okay.

01:44:51.180 So it's like our Speaker of the House.

01:44:52.440 Absolutely.

01:44:53.520 But normally, legislation can only be tabled by the government.

01:44:58.500 But he allowed just backbench members of Parliament to table legislation, all of it designed to stop Brexit from happening and to force us into having a second referendum.

01:45:08.080 So I'm very pleased he's gone.

01:45:09.940 Yeah.

01:45:09.960 What was it like at 11 o'clock last Friday?

01:45:13.800 Just amazing.

01:45:14.640 I was in – I'd booked Parliament Square for the event.

01:45:17.320 We had 100,000 people come, despite the fact it was late at night.

01:45:21.540 They'd all dressed up.

01:45:22.600 I think every eccentric in England had turned up.

01:45:24.980 People dressed up as Winston Churchill and Union Jack Flags.

01:45:29.020 And, yeah, we had the big countdown and suddenly 11 o'clock was there.

01:45:33.300 And for me, I mean, this has been 27 years.

01:45:37.260 I've campaigned for this for 27 years, over 20 years in the EU Parliament.

01:45:42.720 And it was just the most extraordinary feeling.

01:45:45.840 And whilst there is still work to do, we've broken the back of this.

01:45:49.260 We've passed the point of no return.

01:45:51.020 We are never going back into that globalist project.

01:45:53.880 So, yeah, euphoria.

01:45:55.620 I have to say euphoria.

01:45:57.360 And from those on the other side of the argument, most of them actually accept now that it's happened finally, three and a half years on.

01:46:06.520 Well, we have three and a half years with Donald Trump, and half the country doesn't accept it.

01:46:11.200 I just will not accept it.

01:46:12.880 But it's the same game.

01:46:13.920 It's the same game.

01:46:14.860 I mean, what you've had here since Trump was elected is the attempt to delegitimize the election of the president.

01:46:20.840 You know, again, you've had the same Russian conspiracy theories and all the rest of it.

01:46:24.860 And, yeah, some who simply cannot accept Trump as a human being.

01:46:28.520 We've had the same with Brexit.

01:46:29.680 But I think now, now, those that now think, oh, gosh, we should rejoin the European Union will begin to look like members of the Flat Earth Society.

01:46:38.900 So I think we're through the worst of it now.

01:46:41.440 But it's took a long time.

01:46:42.280 So Boris Johnson compared a lot to Donald Trump.

01:46:50.000 Tell me the difference.

01:46:50.960 Oh, look, Boris is a metro liberal.

01:46:54.020 I mean, he is very much on the left of the British Conservative Party.

01:46:57.820 In the past, he's talked about huge amnesties for illegal immigrants.

01:47:02.180 I mean, Boris is not Donald Trump.

01:47:03.800 But Boris, whether through conviction or whether through opportunism, I don't know.

01:47:11.400 But Boris came down in 16 when the referendum was coming down Matraxedus.

01:47:16.300 Boris decided to join the Leave campaign.

01:47:19.080 And it was very, very important that he did.

01:47:21.740 You know, he's got a constituency of people that support him.

01:47:24.860 He's also rather good fun, which not enough politicians are.

01:47:28.920 And Boris now is utterly committed.

01:47:33.720 You know, he's promised the British people he's going to deliver a proper break from the European Union.

01:47:40.400 And if he doesn't deliver it, his reputation will fall off a cliff in the same way that Theresa Mays did.

01:47:46.260 So, as I say, whether it's through conviction, whether it's through political pragmatism, he is now utterly committed to this.

01:47:52.960 And, hey, we've got a prime minister saying the right thing.

01:47:55.420 So, let me just stir this up a bit because the guy who is my right hand is from Scotland and proudly Scottish.

01:48:07.040 And let's just say the Queen isn't necessarily – the royal family, not necessarily his favorite thing.

01:48:15.180 And they've been trying to break free forever from –

01:48:19.420 Yeah, but this is all false. This is all false.

01:48:23.540 Is it? Because they're –

01:48:25.140 I've got to mind my language here.

01:48:27.320 This is – look, the Scottish National Party say –

01:48:30.580 Swept.

01:48:31.180 Say we should leave the United Kingdom but join the European Union.

01:48:37.200 That's not independence.

01:48:38.500 You can't be an independent country if you govern from Brussels.

01:48:41.460 It's a totally false prospectus.

01:48:43.940 And I'll tell you what, the one thing Boris needs to do, if he gets back our fishing rights and gives Scotland 200 miles of the North Sea that's theirs, it'll be the end of a separatist army.

01:48:55.220 That'd be great. That'd be great.

01:48:56.300 Are you going to the State of the Union tonight?

01:48:57.940 I certainly am.

01:48:58.920 Oh, good. I will see you there in the House chamber.

01:49:02.540 Thank you so much.

01:49:03.200 Thank you.

01:49:03.480 Nigel Farage, former member of the EU Parliament, back in just a minute.

01:49:13.940 Thanks very much.

01:49:17.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:49:20.300 So it turns out that this coronavirus is real.

01:49:25.360 And they're talking now about China quarantining the entire country.

01:49:30.080 They just did another city.

01:49:31.740 They're saying, oh, no, it's getting smaller now.

01:49:34.400 You just did another 5 million people this morning.

01:49:37.900 And they're talking about quarantining, you know, just a one and a quarter billion people.

01:49:44.720 So it's great.

01:49:46.960 What is this going to mean to your stocks?

01:49:49.460 What is this going to mean to your money?

01:49:51.080 If this is an actual global pandemic, nothing good.

01:49:56.020 And that's why gold is going up.

01:49:58.380 I want you to call Goldline right now.

01:50:00.400 They're giving away a 99.999% pure silver bullion, a coin that's three quarter ounce coin, just for calling and having a conversation about your retirement portfolio and how to protect it.

01:50:13.340 Please, I urge you to call right now.

01:50:16.500 Sure, you get the silver coin for free.

01:50:18.720 But the reason to do it is because you're responsible.

01:50:22.440 And I want you to look at what is possible if this is a global pandemic and protect yourself at least with some of your money in precious metals.

01:50:33.660 866-GOLDLINE.

01:50:35.020 Call them now.

01:50:35.560 866-GOLDLINE.

01:50:48.720 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:51:08.000 It is the day after.

01:51:10.020 You remember that special, the nuclear holocaust, the day after? 0.96

01:51:13.400 Yeah, it's like that, except this is for democratic politics.

01:51:16.120 Iowa is an absolute mess.

01:51:21.220 Meanwhile, in the closing arguments yesterday from Adam Schiff, listen to what he had to say about Donald Trump.

01:51:31.240 We must say enough.

01:51:34.640 Enough.

01:51:36.760 He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again.

01:51:41.060 He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again.

01:51:44.420 You will not change him.

01:51:45.720 You cannot constrain him.

01:51:47.780 He is who he is.

01:51:49.360 Truth matters little to him.

01:51:51.120 What's right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.

01:51:55.900 I do not ask you to convict him because truth or right or decency matters nothing to him,

01:52:02.300 but because we have proven our case, and it matters to you.

01:52:07.160 Truth matters to you.

01:52:09.360 Right matters to you.

01:52:10.800 Does it?

01:52:13.320 Because a lot of those people are saying that men can have babies, so I'm not sure that they're the ones to go to the truth on.

01:52:19.980 But notice he just threw in that he's going to cheat in the next election.

01:52:23.360 I love that.

01:52:23.980 He's going to cheat in the next election.

01:52:24.980 What evidence do you have to say that?

01:52:27.620 And by the way, with Iowa going on, you might want to not use that right now.

01:52:33.460 It really is a central part of their argument, which is we say we caught him before, and even—

01:52:41.020 He's doing it now.

01:52:42.320 Yeah, he's doing it now.

01:52:42.980 The reason why we can't just let people vote is because we know he's going to screw with this next election.

01:52:46.940 Right.

01:52:47.140 Which is just a guess.

01:52:50.080 They're just saying it because they think he'll—it's like convincing you.

01:52:53.680 We caught him once, that must mean he's doing it all the time.

01:52:56.420 Now, first of all, you didn't catch him, and if you caught him with a big enough example, you could throw him out based on that.

01:53:00.820 You know what they're saying is we know this isn't a big enough example, but believe me, if we caught him with this one,

01:53:05.380 he's doing five more that are worse, and we don't know what they are, but you better throw him out before we find out.

01:53:09.560 You know what's really frightening is that they have proven every step of the way in the last four years that whatever they accuse him of, they're doing.

01:53:18.540 They're guilty of, yeah.

01:53:19.600 And the way they've gone off on he's going to cheat in the election, he's going to cheat in the election, he's going to manipulate the election.

01:53:26.520 Are they?

01:53:27.780 I mean, and how ridiculous is it?

01:53:29.560 This is a party who, at the time they're making this argument, has a two-month-old app that has never been tested at the state level,

01:53:38.360 given to them by a company called Shadow Inc.

01:53:42.040 I kid you not, the name of the company is Shadow Inc.

01:53:46.020 And we're supposed to be trusting them with our electoral future.

01:53:50.560 That is a fascinating moment.

01:53:52.560 Let me go to Kevin Ryan.

01:53:54.460 Kevin is one of our writers, and he's been out in Iowa.

01:53:58.920 Kevin, what did you see last night?

01:54:03.640 Boy, talk about an embarrassing situation, by the way.

01:54:08.800 It was a fascinating night.

01:54:12.700 I started at the Klobuchar event.

01:54:15.500 It was supposed to be a celebration party.

01:54:17.720 It was pretty somber when I first got there.

01:54:21.460 But she popped out.

01:54:25.760 She came out first, as you guys know.

01:54:27.460 And she was very happy.

01:54:29.440 She was surprisingly happy.

01:54:32.000 You definitely get the sense that these candidates have a good, you get the sense these candidates do have a clear picture of what they think happened in Iowa.

01:54:44.740 You notice Klobuchar was pretty happy.

01:54:47.080 You notice Biden was really sad.

01:54:49.520 You notice Buttigieg was pretty happy.

01:54:52.000 I think they definitely have enough information to get an indication as to where they stand.

01:54:56.220 But we still don't know where the delegates actually land.

01:55:00.040 I went to the Bernie watch party after Klobuchar.

01:55:05.260 So I got there right as he was speaking.

01:55:07.920 And it was very somber.

01:55:09.940 Because there was very much like there had been a lot of chatter that, okay, this is Bernie's.

01:55:16.620 And then Pete's going to be in right behind him.

01:55:20.660 But, yeah, Biden was just completely, from what we understand, completely decimated in the whole thing.

01:55:26.640 Yeah, there's several reports did the thing where they went to an individual precinct and tried to line up.

01:55:36.100 And just getting Biden to 15% to be a viable candidate was a huge problem.

01:55:40.860 They couldn't get people over to the Biden side.

01:55:42.420 So they were all distributing to Buttigieg and Klobuchar afterwards.

01:55:46.440 And that's why they think, you know, this is the way this is going to turn out.

01:55:48.840 I mean, it looks like this is a great help probably to Biden because I don't think the narrative coming out of Iowa is going to be all that positive for him.

01:55:56.860 No, not at all.

01:55:58.020 I spoke to some caucusers from all the candidates.

01:56:02.920 But specifically the ones for Biden, they were pretty happy.

01:56:08.280 They said, okay, this is a good result for us.

01:56:11.180 Maybe going into New Hampshire, you know, the focus can be moving forward.

01:56:16.480 And everybody will kind of forget about what happened in Iowa.

01:56:21.940 So, Kevin, what was the – did anybody that was part of the caucus that was a Democrat, were any of them saying, I can't believe this, we've worked so hard and this is screwed up because of the Democratic Party here in Iowa.

01:56:39.580 I feel disenfranchised.

01:56:41.520 Was anybody actually saying those things on the ground?

01:56:44.880 Last night, everyone was just confused.

01:56:50.680 But there was also this air of like, well, of course this happened.

01:56:55.960 I mean, when I was here for the Iowa State Fair, a lot of the Bernie supporters I spoke with said, watch this next caucus.

01:57:06.480 Watch the caucuses.

01:57:07.620 And it's going to be very shady because it was shady in 2016.

01:57:12.000 And the same thing is going to happen again.

01:57:13.980 And that's, of course, coming from Bernie supporters who are kind of suspicious of the establishment.

01:57:20.120 And so when I spoke to Bernie supporters last night, they said they held that same spirit.

01:57:26.920 Like, they were not surprised – as surprised as everyone else was, at least.

01:57:31.400 All right, Kevin, thank you so much.

01:57:35.120 I appreciate it.

01:57:36.120 God bless.

01:57:36.800 Sounds good.

01:57:37.420 Do you remember a week of news like this, Glenn?

01:57:40.380 I mean, you had the Sunday Super Bowl, Monday, Iowa.

01:57:43.540 Then, of course, now that's dragging on.

01:57:45.600 Tuesday, State of the Union.

01:57:46.860 Iowa's still going.

01:57:47.700 I don't know.

01:57:48.000 Monday, Rush Limbaugh.

01:57:49.840 Oh, yeah.

01:57:50.100 With late-stage lung cancer.

01:57:52.760 Yeah, I mean, that's more of an outside development.

01:57:54.860 But, I mean, these are just, like, planned news stories, right?

01:57:57.740 Like, this whole week.

01:58:00.000 Wednesday.

01:58:00.820 What was the other thing on Wednesday?

01:58:02.000 Oh, the impeachment vote.

01:58:03.120 Yeah.

01:58:03.380 And Thursday, you have this new special, right?

01:58:05.760 That's coming on.

01:58:06.960 That's going to be huge.

01:58:07.800 And then Sunday of the office.

01:58:09.780 And we're all wondering, what are you wearing?

01:58:11.820 Who are you wearing?

01:58:14.540 What is the special on this time?

01:58:16.440 What is the –

01:58:16.820 The special on Thursday?

01:58:18.760 Is this the last one of the Ukrainians? 0.98

01:58:20.600 This is the last piece.

01:58:20.900 This is the billion-dollar question.

01:58:22.620 What happened to America's $1.8 billion?

01:58:25.560 You are not going to like the answer.

01:58:28.220 But it is one you must hear, and one that I think when Democrats hear, they're going to be disgusted by it.

01:58:39.140 And, you know, we can – we have to make one jump.

01:58:44.140 Nothing is a – nothing is a theory except the very last jump, and you'll understand why.

01:58:50.940 We don't have the evidence for that last jump, but we can track that money right to this last jump.

01:58:57.220 And if you can come up – I think you deserve $1.8 billion if you can come up with somewhere else that that money went.

01:59:06.320 But we present this on Thursday.

01:59:09.200 It's a don't miss.

01:59:09.860 So tonight at 8 o'clock, we begin our live coverage, starting with me of the State of the Union.

01:59:16.520 I have a couple of guests for about 15 minutes, then we throw it to Eric Bolling here in the studios here in Washington where we're broadcasting now.

01:59:26.380 I'm going into the house chamber and actually watching it from the inside because you see it from a whole different angle when you're actually in the chamber.

01:59:37.780 However, last year I walked out with some real insight, and quite honestly, I'm a little disappointed that the impeachment vote didn't happen before this because, oh, man, I was waiting for marching bands and whatever.

01:59:54.980 Oh, I totally think he's mentioning it tonight.

01:59:56.920 Do you?

01:59:57.260 Yeah, I do.

01:59:58.060 I mean, he's not going to lose the vote either way.

02:00:00.840 You know, if so, he's not going to get removed.

02:00:04.040 I mean, unless he – I can't even think of a way he would.

02:00:06.920 But if I'm him, I mean, this is his biggest stage.

02:00:10.420 He wants people to know that this is not real.

02:00:13.340 He'll get acquitted for it the next day.

02:00:15.480 He's already been basically cleared of all the Mueller report stuff.

02:00:18.920 He survived every one of these.

02:00:20.320 I think he wants people to know it.

02:00:21.480 I'll be very surprised if he just, like, just talks about how good the economy is, right?

02:00:25.980 Like, he's going to – he can't – it's too much – it's been dominating his world for, you know, how many months?

02:00:32.360 And imagine, with all of the conspiracies going around, on the left, not the right, the left, that are saying, look at what they did.

02:00:41.320 They threw that last Des Moines Register poll out.

02:00:44.220 They threw the Des Moines Register right out the window and said, no, there's a problem with that one.

02:00:49.020 We now know that it showed Biden coming in fourth.

02:00:52.880 It showed basically what we think we saw last night.

02:00:57.560 And so they threw that out.

02:01:00.300 Now this is in trouble.

02:01:02.520 Imagine what he could say.

02:01:05.600 Oh, and so we want to learn from the Democrats on how to protect our election.

02:01:12.120 I mean –

02:01:13.040 Oh, it's going to be fun.

02:01:14.100 Oh, great.

02:01:14.880 Between – he has to make at least a joke about how inept they were with Iowa, at the very least.

02:01:19.940 And he's totally going to mention impeachment, I think.

02:01:21.660 So Wednesday we'll be back here with our view of the impeachment – I'm sorry, the State of the Union.

02:01:29.500 Then we're on to impeachment.

02:01:31.140 The next day is the final piece.

02:01:34.880 At 8 p.m., please tell your friends.

02:01:37.660 It's free, so you don't have to be a member of the Blaze.

02:01:40.400 Tell them to watch it on the Blaze YouTube channel.

02:01:43.660 You can also get it on our platform, Blaze TV, if you are a subscriber.

02:01:47.300 And you get the – they're doing the code, right?

02:01:49.520 GB20OFF?

02:01:50.320 GB20OFF.

02:01:50.840 And then on Sunday, the only way to watch the Oscars is with Steven Crowder because they all get dressed up.

02:01:58.660 Yeah, they all get dressed up, and it is hysterical.

02:02:02.780 They just have a little box in the corner, and they just riff on everybody, and it is really good.

02:02:12.040 Really funny.

02:02:12.720 Really funny.

02:02:13.260 Do you ever remember a week in the news where the Super Bowl was so swallowed up by the other events?

02:02:20.840 I mean, you know, it's all – the Super Bowl is the biggest event in the world as far as sports goes.

02:02:27.640 I mean, maybe there's some stupid soccer thing you could argue, which is not even a sport.

02:02:31.220 But really, I mean, you know, between Kobe happening before it, gosh, Rush Limbaugh, his announcement, all of these huge events lined up in one week.

02:02:41.240 I don't think I've ever seen – which was a great game.

02:02:44.820 I mean, it was basically swallowed up by everything else going on.

02:02:47.280 We've come to the point where it's multiple massive news cycles per day.

02:02:51.200 Per day, we are there.

02:02:54.780 Yeah, the only time I can think of the Super Bowl not being the big story – I mean, it used to be for a week.

02:03:02.260 Yeah, all the commercials.

02:03:03.840 I think the last time was – it was maybe in the 90s when the Gulf War,

02:03:09.380 and the Super Bowl was less about the game and more about Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangled Banner.

02:03:18.720 Yeah, and I remember right after 9-11 was the same type of thing where they really –

02:03:22.020 they had U2, I believe, do a presentation on it on 9-11 right after.

02:03:28.420 That's the only thing.

02:03:29.700 But nothing like this.

02:03:30.980 That was one huge news item.

02:03:33.520 This is nonstop.

02:03:35.840 I mean, you can't keep them straight.

02:03:37.980 We sat with all of our guests today and said, okay, we've got to talk about impeachment.

02:03:42.900 We have to talk about Iowa.

02:03:44.720 We have to talk about – the last thing on anybody's mind was Super Bowl.

02:03:48.440 And like you said, great game.

02:03:51.040 Even me, I don't watch.

02:03:53.040 Great game.

02:03:54.020 By the way, bringing Nancy Pelosi's sucks pen to .com.

02:03:58.220 They're coming in today for you to bring over to the State of the Union and get to Congress.

02:04:01.040 Handing those out like, you know, it's a boy baby cigars tonight.

02:04:06.140 So you just look for people that might be on our side holding a Nancy Pelosi pen.

02:04:11.440 I'm going to see if I can get one set right on her little desk there where she's sitting next to the vice president tonight.

02:04:19.580 And she'll be like, is that a Nancy Pelosi sucks pen? 0.98

02:04:24.280 Michael, just look over.

02:04:25.480 Yes, it is.

02:04:26.720 Yes, it is.

02:04:27.660 All right.

02:05:52.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:05:56.140 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:06:26.120 There's an unbelievably self-unaware tweet last night from Jeremy Diamond.

02:06:29.980 He wrote,

02:06:30.200 Without evidence, top Trump campaign officials, including sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., are sowing distrust in the American democratic process, suggesting that Democratic Iowa caucuses are rigged.

02:06:45.540 Wait, have you listened to yourself in the last three and a half years?

02:06:50.720 That's all the Democrats have been saying about Donald Trump.

02:06:54.760 That's the entire thing.

02:06:56.360 He's not a legitimate president.

02:06:58.080 He threw the other election.

02:07:00.280 He was working with Ukrainians to throw the last one. 0.99

02:07:03.540 He's working with them now to throw the next one.

02:07:05.900 I believe the Russians was the accusation. 0.79

02:07:08.180 Russians, well, also, he was trying to get the Ukrainians to throw this one. 0.57

02:07:11.560 Now this one's, yeah, exactly.

02:07:13.160 It is really a fascinating thing.

02:07:14.700 Maybe we could ask the governor of Georgia, Stacey Abrams, whether, you know, whether that's a, because that's, they'll make the argument on that too.

02:07:21.760 Right.

02:07:21.900 She actually won that election. 0.98

02:07:23.120 They do this all the time.

02:07:24.760 And do they not remember what a big deal they made about Donald Trump not respecting the election results as he lost?

02:07:31.160 The second he actually won, it just completely turned.

02:07:34.780 And now they never respect election results when they lose.

02:07:38.380 How can you wake up in the morning knowing you said part one of that and come out and say part two?

02:07:44.380 Because you can easily say to yourself, you're not Adam Schiff.

02:07:49.460 Listen to what he said yesterday.

02:07:50.860 Whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach.

02:07:56.820 Trump, I'm quoting, Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support on the next election.

02:08:03.500 Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country.

02:08:09.540 What?

02:08:10.480 Unbelievable.

02:08:11.200 Are you, that was in his closing arguments.

02:08:14.240 Unbelievable.

02:08:15.040 It is insane.

02:08:17.560 But we're here in the capital of insanity, Washington, D.C.
