Glenn Beck sits down with Supreme Court Nominee nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, to talk about her time on the Supreme Court, her views on the First Amendment, and her thoughts on social media and free speech.
00:20:49.820Man, I'll never leave the house, you know, mainly because I won't have a house or a way to leave it, you know, like in a car or something, because I won't be able to pay for anything.
00:21:08.860But I'm glad the government is looking out for everybody and, you know, let's raise that pay.
00:21:14.720Because more people, look, if you're driving and you're like, hey, I could make, you know, $50 an hour, who's not going to drive?
00:21:25.260So we'll create all these new jobs and everybody will be drinking, you know, $26, $36, $75 cups of coffee, and it'll be great.
01:02:37.220But if things got really bad, they need to be protected.
01:02:40.900Um, and I would ask you to do the same now.
01:02:44.320And I would ask you to start buying, um, books that are important.
01:02:49.860Um, and I will help you with a list on this.
01:02:53.440Uh, I would suggest that you maybe, if you're really, um, if you feel this is a calling, um, I would get some, uh, acid free paper and I would start printing some of the documents and the things, for instance, are founding documents, but also some of the things that are coming out today.
01:03:16.720So, you know, you know, the truth of studies, you know, the truth of, um, what happened, uh, as much as we can on you, uh, on, uh, Wuhan, et cetera, et cetera.
01:03:30.140And start preserving our actual daily history, as well as our, uh, our past history, because it is all being rewritten and digitized.
01:03:43.520And somebody has to have a copy of what really is happening now and has happened in the past.
01:03:50.980If you care to join me on this, we'll have more on that, perhaps tomorrow and more online now at glennbeck.com.
01:04:00.660Going back to the Supreme Court here in just a second.
01:04:05.420First, let me tell you about, uh, good ranchers.
01:04:07.680If there's no mRNA vaccine in the ham, is it really even Easter?
01:04:14.640Yeah, they're putting that in our meat now and, um, you know, if they can get you with the Fauci ouchie of, I mean, you know, with, with Kung flu pork, I guess they gotcha.
01:04:29.180Um, I, I, I don't like these things, these experimental things in my food.
01:04:34.400Um, I don't give them to my cattle and I don't want to give them to my cattle.
01:04:39.540Uh, and I like to be able to eat things that I know what's in them right now.
01:04:44.400Good ranchers has the say no to MRNA sale.
01:04:48.400Good ranchers is offering you a free 10 pound Easter ham.
01:04:51.900If you have any subscription, when you use the promo code Beck, it's top quality ham and MRA and MRNA vaccine free meat.
01:06:00.180I I've never heard that before, but there was a case that was heard yesterday.
01:06:06.340Murthy versus Missouri originally filed as Missouri versus Biden.
01:06:10.640And it concerns whether the federal government officials had violated the first amendment by coercing or significantly encouraging social media companies to remove or demote, uh, particular content from their platforms.
01:06:25.620This is on various topics, but really COVID-19 was the, the big one.
01:06:33.180Uh, and we have the guy who filed the original suit when he was, uh, a G of Missouri.
01:06:40.740He's now the Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmidt in Washington.
01:06:55.640Um, well, I think it's always difficult to gauge based on the questions asked by the justices.
01:07:02.340I think that's a, it's a, it's a fair question and a question that's often asked.
01:07:06.020It's just, it's difficult to, to really gauge where individual justices are at based on some of the questions, because most of what they'll be considering as they move towards the decision, probably sometime in June is the, are the briefs and the record that had been submitted.
01:07:22.380So sometimes those questions are meant to sort of fill in some gaps.
01:07:25.380Uh, the question you're referring to, I think was, um, was, you know, is, isn't the first amendment a hindrance to the government in this instance or in the hypothetical?
01:07:36.780It's, it, that is like, that's the point is that the first amendment is actually was, was, is, was put there by our founders because they knew exactly what the government might want to do.
01:07:48.460And if the idea was protecting individual liberty and your ability to speak your mind and be a dissenter, uh, that ought to be a hindrance to the government.
01:07:58.360So anyway, but so that, that question was somewhat revealing, but I still feel good about it.
01:08:02.920Here's the, the best news of all of this, Glenn is early on in the litigation, when we filed the case in May of 2022, we were able to get discovery before the preliminary injunction hearing, which we won, which was essentially affirmed by the fifth circuit court of appeals.
01:08:21.700Because the record is filled now with emails and text messages about how the federal government, we should be partners with Facebook and they want answers, exclamation point.
01:08:39.240Literally 20 plus thousand pages of this kind of evidence of how the government was coercing these social media companies, uh, to do their will.
01:08:49.280And I think that hopefully will carry the day.
01:08:53.400So the, the problem here is, is that coercion, you don't have a partnership with the government.
01:09:00.040Um, you might think you do, but in the end, the government wins because the government can do all kinds of things to you and you have nobody run to for help.
01:09:08.540Um, um, and the government cannot be the final arbiter of truth.
01:09:14.460It cannot be, um, our founders were really clear on this.
01:09:19.500And then again, later they hashed it out because of the sedition act and you know, they made it very, very clear that if the government is the one that decides what the truth is and is the final arbiter of truth.
01:09:39.900And I think if the, if the government hadn't been intended, taken on the role of being the arbiter of truth and silencing people about the vaccines or whatever, they just would have let it go.
01:10:10.200And, and I think that, you know, people often say power corrupts, probably more appropriately, uh, described power reveals.
01:10:18.280And you had a situation during COVID where, uh, it was a emergency or perceived emergency and people used it to aggregate, accumulate and exercise power in ways that I don't think many of us really believed could happen in the United States of America.
01:10:36.120I think it's important to put us back in that time and regardless of how the government feels about what you should be doing to your point, individuals get to make these decisions.
01:10:46.020And that, and that is what is, was so dangerous about what was happening was you had the, this wasn't just a one-off from some actor or two.
01:10:53.560This was a leviathan of government agencies working in concert to quell dissent, to shut down dissent, whether it was on the lab leak theory, the Hunter Biden laptop story, origins of COVID, the efficacy of masks, all of that.
01:11:08.280The full force of the government was at play to silence people.
01:11:11.940And if we believe in this country, which we do, I do, you do, that fundamental human expression is a right given to us by God and government's role is really there to protect that right, to secure those rights, certainly not to infringe upon those rights.
01:11:24.640So let me play, that's why this case is so important.
01:11:32.440There is a, let me use a real one that I know they have already, um, war gamed.
01:11:37.960And I think it's the international, uh, bank or the world bank has come out with their recommendations.
01:11:44.800If currencies begin to collapse, if the world starts to go into a real slide, that people who disagree with the actions of the central banks of the world must be silenced.
01:11:58.960Because even if they're right, they will harm all of the safety, uh, mechanisms that the governments are trying to put into place.
01:12:08.520So they'll do more harm, uh, even if they're right, that's, that's their point of view.
01:12:40.120First of all, your point, this is a playbook in many ways, because what you'll have now, we're already hearing the language change on climate issues.
01:12:49.820It went from, you know, global cooling to global warming to climate change.
01:13:23.700I actually had the case, the OSHA, you know, those cases that went to the Supreme Court on the vaccine mandate, and we won at the Supreme Court.
01:13:29.680And my contention all along was on whether it was the vaccine or masks.
01:13:33.260Give everybody the information and let them make their own decisions.
01:13:36.500But you saw the left really gravitate towards, no, no, no, we don't really care about reasonable debate.
01:13:48.640That's not going to change when we have the next thing.
01:13:51.400And so that's why this case is so important, because if the government actually thinks that they can pressure social media companies to do their bidding, they don't get to get around the First Amendment by contracting that out to private parties.
01:14:17.320So if you don't think that was being wielded here as a threat or antitrust investigations or all those sorts of things that the government we've seen this administration do to Catholics or to pick the opponent, they've mobilized and weaponized government.
01:14:35.220And so I think that whether it's, you know, the, the, you know, it's that standard or it's the, you know, sort of the cooperative standard, whatever you want to use, the government was very intent here on silencing speech.
01:14:47.220And they don't get to do an end around the Constitution by, by outsourcing that to big tech.
01:14:52.500And they also endorsed speech during the same period by saying, you can't protest outside about COVID.
01:15:04.520And so they were endorsing speech as well and setting a precedence there that that's the problem with the, with the government having the lever of what speech is approved and what isn't.
01:15:19.380You don't have a real free democracy or in our case, a republic if they can can do that.
01:15:27.360And everyone knows if you're thinking about going and, you know, praying at a abortion clinic, you now know the government has been weaponized against you.
01:15:40.500If you're going to go into a store and you're going to just go steal all the makeup from a makeup counter, you know, you have a better chance of getting away with it because the government has laid off that kind of stuff.
01:15:53.680So they're, they're directing our society just by leaning one way or another.
01:16:00.140And if you don't think that the, I mean, you cannot have, I've never had calls from the FCC.
01:16:07.020I've done this job for almost 50 years.
01:16:48.640And I think what, what is, it's interesting, you brought up the whole, the protests in the summer of, of, you know, you saw that in 2020 and then COVID.
01:16:59.760And then really when Biden came in, in 2021, he did all the things he said he wasn't going to, he said he wasn't going to be a mandate.
01:17:07.320You know, all these sorts of things that came in.
01:17:10.100I think it just, it, like I said, it just revealed.
01:17:13.160And I think that the, the modern Democrat party, which the energy and the money and everything is now squarely on, on, on the left here.
01:17:21.540You look at what's happened with the border.
01:17:24.260These are, these are not things that, that certainly even Barack Obama, terrible of a president he was, wasn't really advocating for an open borders policy.
01:17:34.620I remember when liberals actually cared about free speech, not anymore.
01:17:38.660And so we've gotten to a place now where they have crossed the Rubicon in, in, in really it's not about process or principles.
01:17:44.980It is about results and power and control.
01:17:47.400And I think that more people wake up to that, you'll realize how important it is to stand up and say, no, you know, I dissent, I object.
01:17:55.480I'm the guy in the, the Norman Rockwell, you know, classic portrait where he stands up and, you know, and that's what we need more of in this country.
01:18:03.320And, um, and so that always motivated me certainly didn't the filing of this lawsuit.
01:18:08.260I only have 30 seconds for an answer here, but is, is this the closed door, hopefully on any of the government, you know, speech control efforts, you know, the Nina Jankiewicz stuff?
01:18:22.460Yeah, I mean, that's certainly the disinformation governance board, I think, but their, their mistake there was, they were probably pretty too open about it.
01:18:30.080What we have to be on guard is that it's more loosely tied, uh, and it's not named something like the ministry of truth, right?
01:18:36.560So I think we have to be on guard, right?
01:18:43.100This, uh, Senator, um, Eric Schmidt from the great state of Missouri who filed the original, uh, lawsuit as AG in Missouri against the, uh, against the government.
01:18:54.840And the government responded by saying they're violating my first amendment rights at the white house.
01:19:02.540Anyway, uh, let's talk to you a little bit about, uh, rough greens.
01:19:05.800If you ever teach your dog to do, you know, tricks, especially your old dog, when you're teaching your dog, you know, roll over, sit, go to the kitchen and cook me a healthy meal, grab a beer from the kitchen, things like that.
01:19:19.280Um, dogs are smart, but not usually that smart.
01:19:23.240Your dog needs a lot of nutrients that he doesn't get in his food and his body knows it, but he doesn't know it.
01:19:29.280If your dog's not eating, it's probably because he's not getting the things that his body knows.
01:19:34.480If you're, if your dog is eating grass, there's a reason the dog's body needs something that it's not getting.
01:19:42.720You can get all of the nutrients back from your kibble food.
01:42:56.120How the elites use the border crisis against us.
01:42:59.380It's pretty, it's, uh, it says a lot about the entire political system, uh, because what we exposed in this was there's a lot of games being played down on the border by both the Democrats and the Republicans.
01:43:17.160Um, you know, uh, there was a secret meeting in Mexico between Antony Blinken and the president of Mexico.
01:43:26.620And, uh, all of a sudden, all of the Texas border crossings, they, it was very, very rare that anybody was crossing them.
01:43:35.640It was after that, a few days after those border crossings started to go down that, uh, Greg Abbott, our governor said, uh, you know what?
01:49:59.260So they have started dumping these things.
01:50:03.480Now, the Biden administration has just come out and they are going to complete the regulations this week.
01:50:12.460Designed to punish gas-powered vehicles to pave the way for electric vehicles, whose average cost is twice as expensive as the average subcompact car.
01:50:26.420In its proposed rules that they're going to make this week, remember, we're not voting on these things anymore.
01:50:33.840Why isn't Congress debating these things?
01:50:36.420Why is some pencil pushers, along with the administration, able to get rid of your cars, possibly destroy, not possibly, it's going to, it'll be a bloodbath in Detroit.
01:50:53.540Destroy the automaking industry in America.
01:50:57.460How can that be done by just a room full of people that you never elected, you don't even know who they are.
01:51:04.320So the Environmental Protection Agency wants to target vehicles that would phase in over model years of 2027 through 32, stating, quote,
01:51:17.520EPA finds it appropriate to set new standards for model years after 2026 for both criteria pollutants and GHG at this time,
01:51:27.800rather than continuing its prior approach of coordinating the standards, but setting them in separate regulatory actions.
01:51:56.000You do it because you've not been given any choice in the matter.
01:52:00.160We are putting ourselves in such jeopardy by destroying our manufacturing, the last vestige of big manufacturing, American manufacturing, by destroying GM and Ford, Chrysler.
01:52:21.520I mean, they've already been mostly destroyed, but this will kill the car companies.
01:53:42.060But I think even if it's a mistake, it could benefit America in that I think, you know, TikTok is a bad thing, generally.
01:53:51.420But I don't know that, I don't know that it's the right policy.
01:53:54.180My tendency in these situations is to err against government intervention.
01:53:58.300But if you're talking about a policy that they could theoretically put in that might have some benefit, I mean, maybe you could argue that.
01:56:06.560I thought you wanted this, this country to be pristine and untouched by human hands.
01:56:11.940You want to cover the country with solar panels, which by the way, uh, you know, go out of date pretty quickly as someone who has great experience with solar energy.
01:56:30.240And then what do you do with that solar panel?
01:56:32.660That solar panel is made in China, most likely because, you know, government is picking the winners over here and they always fail.
01:56:41.780It's most likely made over there with all kinds of stuff in it that is bad for the environment.
01:56:48.480What happens to all those solar panels in 20 years?
01:56:53.340I think, I don't know if I told you this off the air or at all, but I was talking to a guy who I'm looking at an investment in some real estate situation.
01:57:00.540And, uh, they basically, one of the things they do is buy homes and, and they, uh, you know, rent them out and there's, it's just, you know, some real estate situation.
01:57:10.260So they have this, uh, you know, the idea that eventually, like maybe they would sell these, uh, to, um, a bigger fund, right?
01:57:19.660Like, so you want to keep it attractive.
01:57:21.280So if case that someone's coming in for a big purchase, you can be attracted to that purchaser.
01:57:25.940So you have all these different qualifications they have to set on these homes.
01:57:29.140And like, you know, for example, you don't have them next to a prison.
01:57:32.780You don't have them next to a high voltage power lines, like right under that.
01:57:39.120You don't want to be attractive to somebody coming in.
01:57:41.360One of their requirements is no solar panels under any circumstances.
01:57:46.520And this is not like some right wing organization that just dislikes solar power, but between the maintenance, between the fact that they age out, between the fact that they have all of these contracts that you have to sign with these individual, uh, solar panels.
01:57:59.200Companies wind up being such a hassle that it's impossible to unwind.
01:58:02.800And they're like, we don't want anything, anything to do with them.
01:58:05.540You'd think, well, if these things are great, having them on a house already would be fantastic, right?
01:58:10.500You're not paying, paying the upfront cost and you get the benefit of generating the power.
01:58:14.760No, they want nothing to do with them because it's a, it's just a disaster.
01:58:18.540And on the electric vehicles, you know, you mentioned that no one's talking about it.
01:58:29.600There was one that came out recently that said, uh, that electric vehicles are worse for the environment than, uh, than gas powered vehicles.
01:58:36.980Another one, uh, talked about the power grid, which does not have the capacity, uh, to actually function if we go this direction.
01:58:45.180And another one that came out said the guardrail system in the United States, it cannot handle, uh, heavy electric vehicles, especially if we start getting into the truck sort of world, because they're not built to withstand that.
01:59:00.100So these things go right through the guardrails of our highways and it would be a massive problem going forward.
01:59:07.480All of this stuff would have to be done if we were to make this transition that everyone's saying is so wonderful.
01:59:13.280And it's like, we're right in the middle of all of these narratives collapsing.
01:59:32.260And they're expecting you to go along with it because it's politically correct.
01:59:38.760Sponsor this half hour is Patriot mobile.
01:59:41.240We're officially in the election season now.
01:59:43.980And, uh, yeah, that can be pretty depressing.
01:59:46.860But what's, uh, what's worse is, uh, getting your wallet depressed, really, really thin, having the wallet lose some weight until March 31st.
01:59:57.460Right now you can get a free month of service.
02:00:00.680When you make the switch to Patriot mobile, all you have to do is choose to do business with a company that loves America is fighting for America.
02:00:10.200Choose a company that will give you exactly the same cell service because they're on the same cell towers and, uh, that will save you money.
02:00:19.060And on top of it, you get a month's free of service.
02:00:22.500All you have to do is go to Patriot mobile.com slash Beck, use the offer code spring 24 spring 24, go to Patriot mobile.com slash Beck, Patriot mobile.com slash Beck.
02:00:57.820So apparently Donald Trump is unable to secure the $454 million bond in the New York civil fraud case.
02:01:23.820Um, I don't know what to think about this.
02:01:27.940Um, Donald Trump came out and said, we have spent hours negotiating with some of the largest insurance companies in the world, some of the biggest banks, and we cannot get, uh, a loan for this.
02:02:18.140It is a lot, an awful lot of money, but he has obviously the assets to support it.
02:02:22.220You know, and one of the things they say in the filing is like, basically we would have to fire sale this real estate if we needed to get this money.
02:02:28.380So he's saying he could get it, but he'd have to fire sale this real estate and that would mean they wouldn't get great prices for it.
02:02:33.860But somebody would probably step up for Trump Tower if he really wanted to.
02:02:37.660Now he shouldn't be forced into that as we've noted many times, but like what I keep coming back to is you're telling me like, I don't know.
02:02:46.260Steve Wynn wouldn't say, Hey, like, I'll just take, I'll give you, I can handle this.
02:02:52.020Like, you know, I'll, I'll give you the money and you know, I'll, I'll take Trump Tower as collateral or whatever the equivalent real estate is.
02:02:59.180Like as somebody who's already in the business, he's got a lot of people who support him a lot.
02:03:02.900And I don't know, it seems like he'd be able to get that done.
02:03:05.760Would you want, would you want Trump Tower in New York?
