00:00:17.900 Hello America from Los Angeles, California.

00:00:21.480 Mercury Studios, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:25.160 Today I think we're going to start with Donald Trump.

00:00:27.820 A man who kept his word.

00:00:31.300 He said he would nominate a conservative to the court.

00:00:35.880 Everything that we know, we never know because this is what we said about John Roberts.

00:00:40.180 But that wouldn't be President Trump's fault.

00:00:42.000 That would be the new justice's fault.

00:00:45.300 It looks like we have a great Scalia conservative.

00:00:50.540 We go there right now.

00:00:57.820 I will hold your hand because we are one.

00:01:02.380 I will beat my drum.

00:01:04.660 I have made my choice.

00:01:06.920 We will overcome because we are one.

00:01:11.280 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:15.200 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:18.740 Well, boys, what do you think of Gorsuch?

00:01:24.460 What do you think of what happened last night with Trump's nominee?

00:01:30.360 Well, I mean, you know, we said on the air leading up to this that Gorsuch was the one I would pick out of the finalists.

00:01:36.440 Yeah, out of the three.

00:01:37.300 Yeah, he was my favorite of those three.

00:01:39.240 So, obviously, there's nothing else to say other than I'm very pleased by it.

00:01:42.600 I mean, you know, I did, you know, we talked about this throughout the primary.

00:01:46.560 One of the main reasons why I, you know, did not like Donald Trump throughout the primary, one of them,

00:01:51.740 was I did not have any confidence in him making this pick and making it well.

00:01:56.100 And I am thrilled to be wrong on that because this is a great pick.

00:02:00.100 He stuck to the list.

00:02:01.500 He picked one of the ones, I would say, in the upper echelon of that list.

00:02:05.060 There's a lot of really positive things to talk about with Gorsuch.

00:02:07.920 And, you know, you're right.

00:02:08.720 You never know.

00:02:09.900 He might not get confirmed.

00:02:11.060 He might be a Roberts.

00:02:13.080 And, you know, one point I would disagree with you on is that is part of his legacy.

00:02:16.700 It's part of Bush's legacy.

00:02:18.260 Oh, no, no, no.

00:02:18.840 But it is Bush's fault.

00:02:20.560 Correct.

00:02:20.940 Hang on just a second.

00:02:21.880 But wait a minute.

00:02:23.580 Bush had this idea, and Ted Cruz told us because he tried to talk Bush out of this.

00:02:29.340 Bush had the idea of let's get somebody who doesn't have a record that we can push through

00:02:33.820 who tells us they're conservative, but they don't really have a record on anything.

00:02:37.500 And so I think that's why it belongs to Bush.

00:02:42.700 I mean, everybody who vetted this guy, with an exception of a couple of areas, which we

00:02:48.220 mentioned last week, this guy looks really, really good.

00:02:53.680 So if he gets into office and he's not what his record holds, I think that's on Gorsuch and

00:02:59.000 not on Trump.

00:02:59.920 Well, it's mainly on Gorsuch, clearly.

00:03:01.740 You know, individual responsibility.

00:03:03.180 However, with the amount of information that Donald Trump has about this guy that we don't,

00:03:10.620 you know, it is part of it.

00:03:12.240 That doesn't mean I can't, you know, can't blame the guy.

00:03:14.740 You can't even blame.

00:03:15.460 I don't even think you can blame Bush for the Obamacare ruling fully.

00:03:20.060 It's Robert's choice.

00:03:21.280 And he's the one that got into the Douche Hall of Fame because of it.

00:03:24.260 Right.

00:03:24.520 Hang on just a second.

00:03:25.520 Let me let me start with this, because we always say we lead with our mistakes.

00:03:29.340 One of the things that I said all the way through the primary was, you think Donald Trump is

00:03:35.560 going to put somebody who is anti-abortion?

00:03:38.840 He's going to listen to his daughter.

00:03:40.320 He's not going to listen to us.

00:03:41.800 He's not going to he's not going to fulfill that promise.

00:03:45.100 I was completely wrong on that.

00:03:47.840 I stand corrected.

00:03:49.360 I apologize to Donald Trump.

00:03:52.460 He said last night, I promised you that I would do that.

00:03:56.280 I am a man of my word.

00:03:57.540 He was so kudos to Donald Trump on that.

00:04:01.760 And I stand corrected.

00:04:03.600 Yeah.

00:04:03.740 And what a great way to be corrected.

00:04:05.420 You know, yes, because we said we would we said we would do this.

00:04:09.600 Nobody believes it.

00:04:10.560 We said we would do this if we were wrong.

00:04:13.240 We would apologize.

00:04:14.080 I just did.

00:04:16.360 And I'm celebrating that I'm wrong.

00:04:19.540 I will stand this.

00:04:21.380 I learned this from Abraham Lincoln.

00:04:23.060 He said, I will stand with any man when he is right.

00:04:27.000 And I will walk away when he is wrong.

00:04:30.640 That is my philosophy on Donald Trump.

00:04:32.920 When he's right, I will stand with him and support him.

00:04:36.220 When he is wrong, I will not stand with him and I will fight him.

00:04:40.560 But that's the way you know, somebody wrote on Twitter last night.

00:04:43.640 All knees will bend.

00:04:48.100 They were referring to Donald Trump and they were mocking me for not supporting him and said, see, all knees will bend.

00:04:56.360 No, all knees will not bend to the president of the United States.

00:05:00.320 What is wrong with you?

00:05:02.100 What is wrong with that standard?

00:05:03.860 No, thank you.

00:05:05.060 Not going to participate in that one.

00:05:07.080 Isn't this the guy that Ted Cruz said he tried to talk Bush into instead of Roberts in the beginning?

00:05:13.980 I don't remember that.

00:05:14.960 I do remember that story, but I don't remember.

00:05:16.680 Yeah, he wanted to call.

00:05:17.480 We should call Ted Cruz today.

00:05:19.640 See if we can get him on today.

00:05:21.780 We're not hearing you, Jeffy.

00:05:23.140 He would have been awfully young, however.

00:05:25.060 Hang on.

00:05:25.600 Take a moment and just thank the Lord.

00:05:27.620 That is something we've all been praying for.

00:05:29.600 We can't hear you, Jeffy.

00:05:31.400 Thank you, Lord.

00:05:32.000 This pick is better than we thought.

00:05:33.620 Yes.

00:05:34.120 Look at all the side effects.

00:05:34.920 It's a day of miracles.

00:05:37.540 Jeffy?

00:05:37.880 These will bend.

00:05:38.780 His mic's not.

00:05:39.980 Can someone turn his mic on, please?

00:05:41.880 No, no, no.

00:05:42.940 I'm sorry.

00:05:43.440 Keep it off.

00:05:44.120 Yes, thank you.

00:05:44.960 Whoever's doing that, thank you.

00:05:46.940 It is, by the way, Gorsuch, I would say, one of the reasons I liked him over some of the other justices is that he has kind of a libertarian streak.

00:05:53.500 Yes.

00:05:53.660 There are elements of, you know, there's a particular stance we can go over later where he's actually better than Scalia on it.

00:06:00.720 And, I mean, he might not be better than Scalia overall.

00:06:04.900 That's to be seen, of course.

00:06:07.080 However, when you can find anything where you're better than Scalia on an issue, it's pretty freaking impressive.

00:06:14.160 And this is a good pick, a smart guy.

00:06:16.220 And, you know, look, I'm thrilled to have been wrong about this one.

00:06:21.000 Right.

00:06:21.860 So I will tell you this.

00:06:25.100 For anybody who said all they were voting for for Donald Trump was SCOTUS, thank you.

00:06:32.420 You were right.

00:06:33.960 You got that done.

00:06:37.000 And I am stunned by it, just stunned by it.

00:06:43.280 So let's see now what the what the left does.

00:06:46.840 I will tell you, you know, I'm trying to have quick 144 character conversations with people.

00:06:53.680 Let me go through a couple of a couple of things.

00:06:56.680 There was there was a couple of things that came out on this yesterday that I wanted to go.

00:07:09.520 Let's see.

00:07:11.240 Obviously, listener.

00:07:13.700 You're corrupt.

00:07:15.240 Media is corrupt.

00:07:16.600 Hard stance against Trump.

00:07:21.220 Here.

00:07:22.760 Glenn, we're enemies.

00:07:24.560 I think I used to watch you every I think I used to watch you every night on Fox.

00:07:30.100 I was a fool.

00:07:32.480 Why are we why are we enemies?

00:07:35.800 Well, in one of them was from a liberal who said, you know, you are you know, I was I was just starting to consider you a friend.

00:07:48.520 This is why you're not my friend.

00:07:51.460 Well, wait a minute.

00:07:52.800 You were a fool.

00:07:54.340 If you think that I changed my principles, anybody on the left who thinks that I'm suddenly a progressive, you're out of your mind.

00:08:03.200 I've never said that.

00:08:04.600 I've made that very clear.

00:08:06.180 I've said that to everybody I've met with.

00:08:09.280 I have changed my tone.

00:08:11.680 And I want to listen to you.

00:08:13.720 And I want to reach out because we have to be able to model friendship.

00:08:18.640 And here's what I responded.

00:08:20.260 Scalia was a good friend of Ginsburg.

00:08:22.440 Ginsburg, they respected one another.

00:08:24.980 Why can't we respect one another as well?

00:08:28.260 We disagree, but we're not enemies.

00:08:31.660 And that was one of the biggest disappointments that I had.

00:08:35.100 You know, I wasn't running the Scalia funeral, obviously.

00:08:38.340 But the selfish part of me wanted Ginsburg to stand up and speak.

00:08:46.120 And she has spoken out about him.

00:08:48.000 But I wanted it at the funeral when everybody when all eyes were there.

00:08:52.680 I would have loved Justice Ginsburg to stand up and talk about their friendship.

00:08:58.060 That was one of the things that we've all missed.

00:09:02.720 Here's Scalia and Ginsburg.

00:09:05.960 And the supporters of Ginsburg hate Scalia.

00:09:09.880 And the people who support Ginsburg, I mean, Scalia, hate Ginsburg.

00:09:17.360 Why?

00:09:18.540 They don't hate each other.

00:09:21.420 There's a difference.

00:09:24.300 Let me say this.

00:09:25.360 Let me correct something that is a long-standing problem of mine.

00:09:37.600 I use the word evil too easily.

00:09:41.900 There is evil.

00:09:43.340 I believe there is evil.

00:09:44.760 But I will use the word evil sometimes with people.

00:09:51.980 And I can't judge if people are evil.

00:09:54.500 That's wrong.

00:09:55.980 And I can't.

00:09:58.320 I'm going to try to stop using that word unless, you know, we're pretty clear.

00:10:05.960 And stop using that word.

00:10:07.740 I want to replace that word with wrong.

00:10:11.180 They're just wrong.

00:10:13.100 That doesn't make them evil.

00:10:14.760 They're just wrong.

00:10:17.160 And we have to stop literally demonizing people.

00:10:22.040 And I've done that for a long time.

00:10:24.400 We've got to stop.

00:10:25.780 Ginsburg is just wrong.

00:10:28.560 Now, I don't know her.

00:10:30.220 But Justice Scalia sure seems like a really nice guy to me.

00:10:35.140 Not to the people on the left.

00:10:36.700 Because all they do is look at his record of how he votes.

00:10:41.820 And they just assume all kinds of things about him.

00:10:45.080 We look at Scalia.

00:10:46.400 We look at Ginsburg.

00:10:47.900 And we just assume all kinds of things about her.

00:10:51.220 But wait a minute.

00:10:53.000 Scalia.

00:10:53.600 If we're right about Scalia.

00:10:54.680 How are they really, truly good, deep friends?

00:10:59.600 How is that possible?

00:11:00.780 If he's really a good guy, he wouldn't be hanging out with evil.

00:11:05.960 He would be hanging out with somebody who he profoundly disagrees with.

00:11:10.720 But he likes.

00:11:11.580 Why is it that this pick has to be either saintly or evil, depending on which he's just either right in your opinion or wrong in your opinion?

00:11:27.740 And one more thing on this.

00:11:30.460 I would fully expect if the court, the only real conservative left on the court was Ginsburg.

00:11:40.560 And there was a progressive president.

00:11:43.420 I would expect the president to bring in a progressive.

00:11:51.120 If half the country were liberal progressive citizens, I would not expect the Supreme Court not to represent their point of view.

00:12:06.080 I think, and I don't know, but I think I would actually be saying on the air, look, guys, it's Ginsburg.

00:12:15.960 There's no one else on the court that represents 50% of the country.

00:12:21.960 It's ridiculous to think that we shouldn't have one voice on the court that is actually making this case for a true constitutional conservative.

00:12:36.240 If you can't see that as split as we are, would I love to have everybody a constitutional conservative on the Supreme Court?

00:12:46.380 Yes.

00:12:46.920 Do I think that's what the founders would want?

00:12:49.880 Yes.

00:12:51.960 But half of the country will feel completely alienated from the Supreme Court.

00:12:59.100 We have to have faith in our system.

00:13:02.360 You can't replace Ginsburg with Scalia.

00:13:06.780 And you can't replace Scalia with a Ginsburg. 0.85

00:13:11.740 You have to have a real conservative replace Scalia.

00:13:17.900 I think it's only right and fair.

00:13:20.360 We need to fight for our principles, but we also need to stand up for other people's points of view and let the best man win and the best idea win.

00:13:35.380 I have no problem fighting for my ideas.

00:13:39.660 And I think, I really think, yesterday, I want to tell you a story later.

00:13:45.160 Yesterday, I went to a place, to a studio, and we all were driving over and we're like, this should be interesting because this individual used to be a progressive.

00:13:58.300 And I mean a progressive that would make your eyes bleed on a network that you would, again, you'd hammer, you'd have no blood left in your body.

00:14:09.880 He invited me over to a studio and said, I want to do a sit-down with you.

00:14:15.480 And I said, fine.

00:14:16.000 And before we started, he said, you know, I saw the interview with you with Tucker Carlson.

00:14:23.400 And he said, Tucker Carlson was going after you.

00:14:27.580 And he didn't make any ground.

00:14:30.540 And I said, yeah, because I really don't care anymore.

00:14:34.600 So I said, that's a secret.

00:14:39.240 You know, everybody always told me, Glenn, stop caring so much.

00:14:41.460 And when you're trying not to care, it doesn't work.

00:14:45.160 But when you really don't care, it's fantastic.

00:14:49.180 And so he said that, and I thought, this is going to be an interesting hour.

00:14:51.900 He may start to go after me.

00:14:53.220 He started the interview with, look, I used to be a progressive.

00:14:56.780 I used to be a hardcore progressive.

00:14:58.520 And then I noticed during this last election that all of my friends, who I thought believed in something, were all switching tables.

00:15:08.240 And they were all starting to fight for things because the conservatives were picking things up that we believed in.

00:15:16.360 And the Democrats were excusing things from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. 0.85

00:15:25.380 Then I'm like, wait, we're against all that stuff.

00:15:28.440 He said, so I'm finding myself now in a situation where people who are being intellectually honest on the conservative side, I'm there.

00:15:35.760 However, we had an amazing conversation, an amazing conversation.

00:15:42.260 Are we going to agree on everything?

00:15:44.340 No.

00:15:45.360 But the end of the conversation was, so how many people in the country are actually tired of this back and forth bickering of the press that has no intellectual curiosity and no intellectual credibility or integrity?

00:16:04.600 How many people are sick of that?

00:16:08.060 He believes that we're in the silent majority.

00:16:12.640 I think that may not be the case now, but I do think that may be the case down the road.

00:16:19.620 If you are intellectually honest and have integrity and you don't want to fight because it's nothing but a stupid game and you actually want to stand for things like Scalia and Ginsburg, they disagreed.

00:16:40.880 But they were good to each other, they liked each other, they respected each other, and they were friends.

00:16:48.180 Man, that's the world I want to live in.

00:16:50.980 Because this one isn't working.

00:16:52.620 This one's getting much, much worse.

00:16:55.520 All right, take a quick break.

00:16:56.740 Back with more in just a minute.

00:16:59.440 Now this, February, which means the countdown to Valentine's Day has begun.

00:17:04.460 Oh, crap.

00:17:07.820 This is a Sherry's Berries commercial.

00:17:09.480 I just heard, Stu, I am in Los Angeles and you were there and they sent them, didn't they?

00:17:16.140 Yes, they did.

00:17:17.620 Those bastards. 0.98

00:17:20.140 What do you mean?

00:17:20.820 Oh, my.

00:17:21.480 Look at that.

00:17:22.440 Oh, my gosh.

00:17:23.820 This is not right.

00:17:25.120 This is not right.

00:17:26.300 For who?

00:17:27.220 Too bad you're not here.

00:17:28.380 Oh, well.

00:17:28.880 Too bad.

00:17:29.400 Too bad.

00:17:29.840 I'm the one doing the commercial.

00:17:30.940 But there's the white chocolate one, the one with all the mini chocolate chips and all

00:17:34.520 the crushed nuts dipped in chocolate.

00:17:35.900 I love the white chocolate.

00:17:36.360 And then the chocolate on chocolate.

00:17:37.840 These things are like almost like an apple size.

00:17:40.100 They're so huge.

00:17:41.020 I want you to call Sherry's Berries, Matthew.

00:17:43.420 Call it Michelle.

00:17:44.300 Both of you call Sherry's Berries.

00:17:45.900 I want the whole, I want the whole schmear right here tomorrow. 0.95

00:17:51.820 Sherry's Berries for $19.99 plus shipping or double the berries for $10 more.

00:20:01.700 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:04.560 Yesterday, I talked to several people who were part of the groups that were trying to convince Donald Trump of the pick.

00:20:18.600 Several of the evangelical list did include Mike Lee.

00:20:23.760 In fact, David Barton told me the list he saw.

00:20:25.900 Mike Lee was the number one pick for the people that he represented.

00:20:31.020 But Gorsuch was was there.

00:20:34.640 There were some people who were worried about Gorsuch on a couple of things.

00:20:39.020 And we addressed that last week.

00:20:40.740 But they would be happy if Gorsuch.

00:20:44.700 This is what happened yesterday.

00:20:46.740 They'd be happy if Gorsuch was the guy.

00:20:48.740 They pretty much all felt good about him.

00:20:53.560 What was interesting was everyone just outside of the inner circle didn't believe that the top three were actually Donald Trump's top three.

00:21:04.600 He is it plays it so close to the vest and he's such a game show guy that they all thought that's not the top three.

00:21:13.200 There's no way there's a surprise behind this door is a candidate.

00:21:18.000 Nobody's ever heard of.

00:21:19.340 Here he is.

00:21:21.060 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:30.560 888-727-BECK.

00:21:32.040 We go to Ken in New York.

00:21:33.560 Hello, Ken.

00:21:34.580 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:36.600 Hi, Glenn.

00:21:37.360 It's great to talk to you.

00:21:38.900 Thank you, sir.

00:21:39.480 I called you before Donald Trump's selection and I argued with you that he needed to be elected because of the Supreme Court.

00:21:47.560 And I was mad at you because you weren't promoting him.

00:21:52.100 And I appreciate your apology.

00:21:54.820 It makes you a better man.

00:21:56.960 Well, I told you.

00:21:58.860 Hang on just a second.

00:21:59.720 Hold on just a second, Ken.

00:22:00.660 I told you that I would.

00:22:03.220 And the one thing that I, the only thing that matters to me is my integrity.

00:22:08.540 I told you that I would.

00:22:09.860 And I have.

00:22:10.980 So I'm sorry that people are disappointed or, I mean, surprised that I would actually do that.

00:22:17.120 It shows me that I've got a lot.

00:22:18.700 Okay, good.

00:22:20.180 All right, good.

00:22:20.960 Okay.

00:22:21.320 So now I'm doing it again.

00:22:22.680 How?

00:22:23.640 You should buy one of those staples buttons and change the wording where it says, I'm sorry, because you're going to have to do it again.

00:22:29.160 Because I'm, as I said during the election, I will be the happiest man in the world if I have to apologize every day because I was wrong about Donald Trump.

00:22:40.980 I want him.

00:22:42.180 The country needs him to be successful.

00:22:44.240 I agree.

00:22:46.540 The, um, we have a famous president who was loved by all and endeared by all, and he made a quote one day, and that was, elections have consequences.

00:22:57.680 And so our next, uh, Supreme Court pick, if it's Ginsburg, who is, leaves us by hook or by crook, Donald Trump has every right to appoint a conservative constitutionalist again.

00:23:13.360 And.

00:23:13.620 Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on just a second.

00:23:15.380 If you're, if, if you think that I'm saying that Donald Trump, uh, shouldn't replace, uh, Ginsburg with a conservative, uh, that I misspoke.

00:23:24.720 Uh, what I said was if Ginsburg, yeah, if Ginsburg was the last, um, radical, uh, uh, progressive on the court and it was a, uh, democratic president, a progressive president, uh, they would have every right and they should replace.

00:23:46.340 And I would look at that as fair.

00:23:48.140 If, if we're looking at, we're looking at a court now that really has no constitutional conservative on it, except Clarence Thomas, the rest of them can go either way.

00:24:00.320 And they'll, they'll all, you know, John Roberts is absolutely useless.

00:24:04.140 Alito is good.

00:24:05.460 Alito is good.

00:24:05.940 Alito is good.

00:24:06.780 Okay.

00:24:06.980 Um, but if, if, if you have the lion, if you have the lion of the side, um, and, and your guy is in there, they should replace.

00:24:18.100 If Ginsburg was the only voice that was really leading the charge, she should be replaced.

00:24:24.480 We can't have a court that is, uh, that shuts out 50% of the country.

00:24:31.320 We, we, we can't do that.

00:24:32.920 It would be nice if the entire court just believed the constitution to be the rule of law and made their decisions based on the rule of law and the constitution.

00:24:44.620 And we wouldn't care what party or what affiliations they had.

00:24:49.540 If you, if you got strict constitutionalist that actually interpreted the constitution as it was written, it would be the solution to all of our problems.

00:25:02.060 Unfortunately, we don't have those justices if, if, but, but one of the reasons why we don't is because we have done a very bad job, not as conservatives, not as, uh, uh, Republicans, but as Americans of understanding and being able to teach and spread the word of the constitution.

00:25:25.060 It's, it's, it's a lot like, it's a lot like faith.

00:25:28.300 Faith many times has become a tool to either get rich or to build a big church, uh, or to bring people into the fold that agree with you and then put a bunch of rules on them.

00:25:44.160 Faith to me, religion, um, uh, is used too many times to control people.

00:25:51.940 When you really, when you really understand faith, God has rules, but they're between you and him, not the organization or anything else, you and him.

00:26:03.540 And it is the most freeing thing.

00:26:06.220 Those simple rules will free you and make you, um, um, more free than you've ever been in your entire life.

00:26:16.360 It's an amazing thing.

00:26:17.720 The same thing with the constitution, there are very few rules, those amendments, if you just go with the bill of rights and we all really did that, no matter whose side it hurt or won for, you know, I, well, no, wait a minute, hang on.

00:26:34.760 That'll hurt my religion or that will hurt my, my agenda or this or that.

00:26:39.300 No, you stick by those simple rules and we'll all be free and we'll all live happily ever after and together.

00:26:48.260 That was one of the great things, uh, that he said, uh, Gorsuch was if you're not making decisions that make you feel uncomfortable based on your, you know, whatever your particular beliefs are, because you're following the law, then you're not a very good justice.

00:27:01.800 Because you have to be following the law.

00:27:03.840 Sometimes that will disagree with what you want to happen, but you follow the law and the constitution anyway.

00:27:09.220 Uh, and sometimes that will make you uncomfortable.

00:27:11.260 Right.

00:27:11.460 And the constitution is paramount, not the law.

00:27:14.320 Yes.

00:27:14.860 The constitution is paramount.

00:27:17.000 You know, for instance, it makes me very, very uncomfortable, um, to not be able to just tap people's phones who we just think, you know, I don't know, that guy's shady.

00:27:29.140 We should listen and every, and especially if everybody in the room is standing around, you're going, look, every other country is doing this.

00:27:34.760 We got to, we ought to be able to do those.

00:27:37.440 No, I'm sorry.

00:27:39.560 And I will take the blame for this if it turns out bad, but I'm going to make the case that that is what makes us unlike all other countries.

00:27:50.260 No president or anybody else has the power to say, you know what, put him on an enemy's list.

00:27:57.460 Let's follow him.

00:27:58.640 Let's destroy him.

00:28:00.100 Let's tap him.

00:28:01.340 If we can gather enough evidence, guys, and go to a court and do it through the constitution as an individual, good, let's do it.

00:28:09.920 If you can't gather that evidence, sorry, that's really uncomfortable if you're sitting there as the president of the United States and saying, gee, I don't know, man.

00:28:20.080 And then if something happens and if that guy gets away, then I'm going to be blamed for it.

00:28:23.720 Yeah, you will be tough, isn't it?

00:28:27.180 Because the one to really blame is the constitution and the constitution is freeing in the end.

00:28:34.480 Otherwise, what happens?

00:28:36.820 You say, oh, you know what?

00:28:38.340 I don't have a problem by hook or by crook.

00:28:41.120 That's a quote.

00:28:42.120 We're going to pull vault into it.

00:28:44.280 If we have to, we'll do anything it takes to get this done, even though it's unconstitutional.

00:28:50.780 What does that lead you to?

00:28:52.160 Somebody else that gets power in the Oval Office that says, by hook or by crook, I'm going to do whatever I want by executive order, and all of a sudden you don't like it.

00:29:02.460 The constitution would take away everybody's need to protest in the streets.

00:29:10.340 Are you still there?

00:29:12.460 Yeah, go ahead, Ken.

00:29:13.280 I just want to say that during the campaign, you were very adamant about principle and that you didn't want to be drug into voting for something against your principle by voting for Trump.

00:29:26.600 And I'd just like to say again that I hope that you'll rethink that philosophy because of the outcome of this election and how, you know, even I was wrong in some of the ideas that I thought was going to happen.

00:29:40.880 Okay, hang on just a second.

00:29:41.920 You really need to vote for the best president.

00:29:43.880 No, I don't think so.

00:29:44.800 I will never rethink.

00:29:45.940 Hang on just a second.

00:29:46.860 I will never abandon my principles for what I think might happen because too many times, as we have seen with Supreme Court justices, what I think will happen isn't what happens.

00:30:02.980 I will stick by my principles because they are unchanging, and I will trust God to work it out.

00:30:10.760 And so thank you, Ken.

00:30:13.820 I appreciate it.

00:30:14.540 Thank you so much.

00:30:15.160 A tad early for all Trump supporters to be claiming that this is going to be the greatest president of all time.

00:30:21.840 No, wait a minute.

00:30:22.520 Hang on just a second.

00:30:23.140 But I mean, this is a good decision, but this doesn't make a presidency.

00:30:27.320 Right, and I still don't – I still don't – I will tell you, and this is going to hack a lot of people off, and I'm sorry, but I'm just going to be honest with you.

00:30:35.220 I watched him last night, and I sat there, and I went, I can't believe this guy is our president, just the way he handles himself.

00:30:44.020 This was a great decision, and it may turn out that he is so far ahead of us in his genius of being able to handle things, and I will apologize for doubting him on everything that he does that is constitutional.

00:31:02.660 But we've got a long road ahead of us.

00:31:05.700 I agree with him on this, and this was really important.

00:31:10.760 I was wrong on how he would play it.

00:31:13.360 Let's see how he defends it.

00:31:15.120 Let's see if he can get it through.

00:31:16.820 If he fights to the end, which is another thing I said, even if he does that, I don't think he's going to spend the political capital to be able to get somebody who is a Scalia type through.

00:31:27.540 We haven't seen that happen.

00:31:29.720 I believe he will, because I really don't think he cares about political capital.

00:31:35.600 So I think I'm going to be wrong on that one, too.

00:31:38.980 But this is a really good move and a good pick, and I want to fulfill the promise that I made to you as an audience, just as I did when you didn't like it.

00:31:51.000 I was fulfilling a promise to myself and to you that I took in 2012.

00:31:57.380 I will not compromise my principles and vote for the lesser of two evils.

00:32:02.500 That was my promise to myself and to the audience.

00:32:05.900 I didn't compromise.

00:32:06.900 As I said during the campaign, if he's president, I will give him a fresh slate.

00:32:12.780 It doesn't mean I'm going to like him, but if he does good, I will stand with him, and where I was wrong, I will point it out, and I will give him credit unquestionably where he's right.

00:32:26.440 But that doesn't mean that I'm a blind follower now.

00:32:28.720 And, Glenn, it's such a weird thing, I think, to me.

00:32:31.800 Here's a good day where I think, you know, if you're a Trump fan, you see that he did something really good.

00:32:36.440 To kind of carry around these issues from the primary is strange to me.

00:32:40.520 And think about it from a perspective.

00:32:41.980 If you're a Trump supporter, and you're a Trump supporter throughout the primary, and you're saying, well, you were wrong on Trump.

00:32:49.280 What we did in that situation is, based on their records, who we thought would have a better percentage chance to do something like this.

00:32:57.340 The reason why we wanted Ted Cruz as president is because we thought there was basically a 100% chance he'd pick somebody good for the Supreme Court.

00:33:05.760 And it's not just the Supreme Court, but I'm just minimizing it to that issue.

00:33:09.560 Our point was, we think the chances are that Cruz would be more reliable on a pick like this than Trump was.

00:33:17.080 I still, to this day, believe that Cruz would be more reliable on this pick.

00:33:21.620 However, Trump did it.

00:33:22.680 So what we come to at the end of this is that both of us got what we wanted, and yet still Republicans seem to be fighting with each other over it.

00:33:32.740 Who cares about that?

00:33:34.460 I'm thrilled about this pick because this is one of the main reasons I wanted Ted Cruz or Rand Paul to be president of the United States.

00:33:42.540 And it's a great thing that we should actually be celebrating, not, you know, picking, trying to pick each other apart about it.

00:33:48.000 This is positive.

00:33:49.380 God forbid we actually get one freaking good moment as conservatives over the past 20 years.

00:33:54.120 Let's celebrate it for once.

00:33:55.380 So here is why Martin Luther King was right. 0.94

00:33:59.060 And this goes right to what you're talking about.

00:34:02.380 You say, this is good.

00:34:04.640 And here we are.

00:34:05.280 We're coming and saying, you were right.

00:34:06.700 We were wrong.

00:34:07.560 We should celebrate together.

00:34:08.860 And what's happening?

00:34:10.580 Too many people want to say, see, I told you.

00:34:14.920 That's playing the game of winning.

00:34:18.680 Martin Luther King said, winning makes someone feel like a loser.

00:34:24.180 And so the wound never heals.

00:34:26.960 You can't do that.

00:34:29.160 You have to reconcile.

00:34:30.780 And when somebody says, you know what?

00:34:33.080 Okay, I agree with you on that.

00:34:34.940 Good.

00:34:35.780 Open your arms and go, good.

00:34:37.360 Thanks.

00:34:38.080 All right.

00:34:38.540 What else can we do?

00:34:40.020 Where else can we reconcile?

00:34:42.400 Not try to win.

00:34:44.240 And still too many people are trying to win.

00:34:47.100 And I understand that.

00:34:48.060 I mean, you know, if I were for Donald Trump during the primary, especially all the way

00:34:54.300 from the beginning, I would have been very mad at us, too.

00:34:57.480 But, you know, whatever.

00:34:59.960 And I can understand a gloating moment or two because, I mean, we've had plenty of them.

00:35:03.160 You get a gloat fest.

00:35:03.880 Yeah.

00:35:04.320 So I get that.

00:35:05.520 But, I mean, the point is, if you're still, if that's what's driving you, were you interested

00:35:10.260 in having a good Supreme Court justice or winning some battle on Twitter?

00:35:13.480 Which one did you want?

00:35:14.420 I know which one I wanted.

00:35:15.520 I wanted the Supreme Court justice.

00:35:16.900 And I'm happy that we have it.

00:35:18.340 Well, Twitter's pretty important.

00:35:19.560 It is pretty important.

00:35:20.440 You're 140 characters.

00:35:21.860 You win that battle.

00:35:22.880 You win a lot.

00:35:24.200 Are you hiring?

00:35:25.440 We've got three options if you're hiring.

00:35:27.840 You can post a job on one site.

00:35:29.240 You get limited response.

00:36:31.020 Neil Gorsuch was confirmed in 2006 to his current role.

00:36:36.380 Here's some people that voted for him.

00:36:38.320 Dianne Feinstein, Ron Wyden, Richard Durbin, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Bill Nelson, Debbie

00:36:46.840 Stabenow, Maria Cantwell, Bob Menendez, and four more you might know.

00:36:51.220 Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and another senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

00:37:03.520 Just those people thought he was fine in 2006, but now surely there's going to be an extreme

00:37:11.380 distaste for poor Mr. Gorsuch.

00:37:13.800 Now he's Bork.

00:37:15.180 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:15.880 Now he's Bork.

00:37:16.500 I think there's a good, a lot of people are saying maybe they won't go after this one

00:37:19.780 because if they force the Republicans to use the nuclear option here, they'll use it again

00:37:24.780 for sure when, if Ginsburg or Kennedy were to leave.

00:37:28.980 I guarantee you, I guarantee you, Donald Trump will use the nuclear option.

00:37:36.540 Guarantee it.

00:37:37.400 Well, he, he doesn't have that option, but I guess he could encourage McConnell to do

00:37:42.580 that.

00:37:43.220 Yes, but he, but I guarantee you that they will use the nuclear option.

00:37:50.520 And the thought is if they don't use it this time, maybe they'd have an argument for them

00:37:54.600 not to use it next time.

00:37:56.160 If they use it, if they use it, if they force Democrats, force Republicans to use it this

00:37:59.980 time, they'll just use it again.

00:38:01.100 If Ginsburg or Kennedy were to go and then they're really screwed.

00:38:04.860 Yeah.

00:38:42.060 Hello, America.

00:38:42.820 From Los Angeles, California.

00:38:44.900 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:46.040 I want to talk to you this hour about the reaction of the left to Gorsuch and plead to both sides

00:39:01.420 to be better than this.

00:39:04.240 What Nancy Pelosi said about Gorsuch is the reason why so many of us are just tired.

00:39:11.620 We're just tired of it.

00:39:12.700 Tired of it.

00:39:13.520 And not going to play this game anymore.

00:39:16.800 I want to start there.

00:39:18.380 The Supreme Court pick from President Trump, keeping his word that he would give us a constitutional

00:39:29.940 Supreme Court justice.

00:39:31.780 He did it last night, keeping his word.

00:39:35.500 Something we thought he would never do.

00:39:39.180 I am happy to say we were wrong.

00:39:42.320 We begin there right now.

00:39:44.780 I will make a stand.

00:39:47.420 I will raise my voice.

00:39:49.720 I will hold your hand.

00:39:52.120 Because we are one.

00:39:53.960 I will beat my drum.

00:39:56.180 I have made my choice.

00:39:58.420 We will overcome.

00:40:00.720 Because we are one.

00:40:02.500 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:40:06.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:11.160 So let's start with Nancy Pelosi and what Nancy Pelosi said about the pick.

00:40:16.500 So it's a very hostile appointment.

00:40:20.360 Hail fellow, well met, lovely family, I'm sure.

00:40:23.580 But as far as your family is concerned, if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine,

00:40:30.040 or in any other way, interact with the courts, this is a very bad decision.

00:40:36.340 Well outside the mainstream of American legal thought.

00:40:39.700 It is scary because he did say he would take away all medicine.

00:40:42.680 He did during his speech.

00:40:44.200 I don't know why.

00:40:46.260 She's exaggerating on the food thing because all he said was he would not allow new food to be created.

00:40:51.020 He did not say he would take the food from your house that you already have.

00:40:53.820 Well, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:40:55.260 He also did say that DDT would replace the contents of every Pepsi and Coca-Cola can.

00:41:01.900 Yes, he did say that, but that's a drink, that's a drink.

00:41:04.700 She didn't even address that.

00:41:05.740 That says beverage.

00:41:06.420 He did say he would spray rat poison over every American city.

00:41:09.560 Well, yes.

00:41:10.820 He did say that he would come in and strangle your children at night as well.

00:41:15.240 That was in one of his rulings.

00:41:16.660 Anyway.

00:41:17.160 But the day, you'd be fine during the day.

00:41:18.980 Let's do this and remember what I'm striving for this year, which is great minds talk about ideas.

00:41:29.520 Average minds talk about events and small minds talk about people.

00:41:32.820 So let's not make this about Nancy Pelosi and how small minded she is. 0.88

00:41:37.460 Let's talk about what she just did.

00:41:43.520 What she just did is fake news.

00:41:48.980 She has just introduced fake news and alternative facts to claim that anyone, again, Ginsburg.

00:42:02.840 I couldn't disagree with Ginsburg more than I do.

00:42:08.440 However, Justice Scalia showed us that she must be a good woman because he was good friends with her.

00:42:17.200 So he was either some mad, insane, closeted, evil guy who was hanging out with this evil woman, or he's the guy that we thought he was, and we've been misled about Ginsburg.

00:42:33.880 She's not evil.

00:42:35.140 She's just wrong.

00:42:36.280 When Nancy Pelosi says, oh, man, he couldn't be more scarier.

00:42:45.660 Yeah, he could be.

00:42:46.820 I think we could have a lot of people.

00:42:49.120 You want some people that are on the fringe of legal thought?

00:42:55.060 We could get our former science czar who said that he wanted to literally put sterilants in drinking water back in the 70s.

00:43:05.580 That, I think, is on the fringe of legal thought.

00:43:09.320 But somebody who says they are a strict constitutionalist and they take the Constitution to mean the government has no right to tell anyone what to do, that's not the fringe.

00:43:23.880 That is American legal thought.

00:43:26.920 It may not be current, but it is what made America the place that everyone runs to.

00:43:33.840 And so what she did is she's made him into this evil man who wants to kill your children and poison your food to make sure that the corporations—you know, it really amazes me how people can really think.

00:43:51.540 For instance, me.

00:43:53.520 Stu, do you know anyone who has a home like I have in Idaho?

00:44:00.220 Do you know anyone who is more green than me?

00:44:04.000 No, you are.

00:44:05.100 I mean, from what I've heard, that home is quite impressive when it comes to—it should please the Sierra Club.

00:44:12.800 Yeah, it would make Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio blush because of their carbon footprint.

00:44:20.220 Okay?

00:44:20.980 Now, I do it because, A, I do care about the environment.

00:44:26.240 I do care about the woods around me and the mountains and the water.

00:44:30.580 I want to make sure that it's all clean.

00:44:32.280 Not for me, but for coming generations of my children and everybody else.

00:44:36.700 And there's nothing wrong with me being selfish and say, yeah, I want the air clean for me.

00:44:41.360 I want the water clean for me.

00:44:43.400 If that's the way you get to it in a selfish way, that's okay because you're going to—by wanting it to be clean for you, you'll want it to be clean for everybody because you never know what water you're going to be drinking.

00:44:57.100 The virtue of selfishness.

00:44:58.880 Exactly right.

00:44:59.960 Yeah, and I don't ascribe to the Ayn Rand theory, but in this particular case, it works.

00:45:08.000 To think that somebody who is a constitutionalist, what, has their own oxygen bubble that they can live in, their own drinking water bubble that they can live in is insane.

00:45:21.420 Why do we have to hate each other like this?

00:45:27.240 Why do we have to stoop to that?

00:45:29.280 I am convinced that—I've said this before.

00:45:34.900 You know the end of any industry when somebody goes inside and makes fun of the industry at the top of the industry and when that industry starts to use force or laws to protect themselves.

00:45:56.320 I've known that cable news was done as we know it, that it is going to have a diminishing impact on our culture because I was at the top of it and I was breaking it and mocking it while I was on.

00:46:16.300 I mean, remember the reports that, Stu, you used to do when you did—you know, we did the reports on news and fake news and had you out in the environmental suit with the light bulbs?

00:46:30.380 I'm still—I still have health impact because of the breaking of fluorescent light bulbs.

00:46:34.260 I know you do. Well, good luck on that.

00:46:35.220 You noticed I stayed inside.

00:46:36.820 I don't care what happens to others.

00:46:39.540 And I knew that was the end.

00:46:41.140 Well, what is Donald Trump doing right now?

00:46:42.880 Donald Trump is inside the government, mocking the government.

00:46:48.960 This isn't going to last.

00:46:52.500 And we will, over time—and not necessarily with this president, that's not what I'm saying—but at some point, if it's not the last president who we thought it might be, it's not this president who some think it might be, it may be the next president who says,

00:47:09.560 well, I've got all the levers, I'm just going to use it for what I want, and you've got a dictator.

00:47:14.940 I think that we go either into a dictatorship, authoritarianism one way or another, or we the people also get sick and tired of playing this game, and we're like, I'm just not going to give it any kind of power at all.

00:47:31.720 I'm going to just—I'm going to unite with friends, and I'm going to unite with people who I disagree with, and we're just going to stop all of this hatred in our own lives.

00:47:40.400 And that spreads, and all of a sudden, they don't have power because they can't make you hate.

00:47:46.120 Look at what the ACLU—look at what happened over the weekend.

00:47:50.020 This last weekend with all the marches, it had nothing to do with a Muslim ban because anyone with any intellectual integrity read that and went, they're not banning Muslims.

00:48:02.840 That's not what this is about.

00:48:03.980 They're not banning Muslims.

00:48:05.640 So why did they do this?

00:48:08.360 Because last weekend, what was it, $247 million the ACLU raised?

00:48:14.720 They're building a Death Star for the next big battle or the battle after that.

00:48:22.060 And what are they doing?

00:48:23.340 What is Nancy Pelosi doing now? 1.00

00:48:25.080 She's ratcheting it up. 0.98

00:48:26.760 She's throwing bloody meat to her audience. 1.00

00:48:31.040 I refuse to throw bloody meat.

00:48:33.640 I'm not going to do it.

00:48:35.640 I don't know why—I don't know how we get past this, but we have to get past this.

00:48:43.060 And I would hope that, you know, if Barack Obama would have run for a third term—I know, I know, he would have done it—run for a third term, and it was Ginsburg that died.

00:48:58.520 I would hope that we wouldn't say the things that they are going to say about Gorsuch.

00:49:06.500 I hope that they don't do what they did last time to Clarence Thomas, where they made him into a predator in the office.

00:49:15.220 They made him into an Uncle Tom.

00:49:17.060 They took the man and stripped him clean of any integrity because they disagreed with him.

00:49:23.960 I would hope that we would be able to start having arguments where we just say, you know what?

00:49:28.720 I believe you're wrong on that.

00:49:30.820 Not that you're evil.

00:49:32.140 And not that you want to poison children and make sure that everybody has their oxygen hoses right to the back of a GM vehicle.

00:49:41.100 Maybe it's just me.

00:49:47.340 Obviously, it is.

00:49:48.940 Nobody's responding.

00:49:49.960 Well, you just—you were just rambling for a long time.

00:49:53.520 I just wanted to make sure we didn't play you off.

00:49:54.920 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:55.360 I just realized none of you were listening.

00:49:57.280 We were listening.

00:49:57.980 We were all listening to every word.

00:49:59.120 Oh.

00:50:00.060 I think you're walking down—

00:50:01.860 Well, let me ask you this, because this is, I think, an important thing that—it's not just a couple people who are hearing.

00:50:07.960 You keep going down this road of—you sound like you don't want to win every seat on the Supreme Court.

00:50:18.140 You sound—

00:50:18.960 Wait, wait, wait.

00:50:19.440 I know that's not what you're saying.

00:50:20.580 I know that's not what you're saying.

00:50:21.720 We know you, and we know that's not what you're saying.

00:50:23.760 100 percent, I've talked to you for 20 years.

00:50:26.140 I 100 percent know that you want constitutionalists on the Supreme Court.

00:50:30.380 You don't necessarily have to agree with every single issue, but, you know, the Constitution is a principle.

00:50:37.580 And it's something that I know you are lockstep, you are 100 percent supportive of, and you want that.

00:50:44.680 When you say—you're trying to, I think, articulate that you understand where the other side is coming from, and I think we would all react the same way.

00:50:55.380 I know if there was one conservative left, I would have to go that way.

00:50:58.540 Let me—because I've got to take a quick break.

00:51:00.320 Let me cut to the chase, because I think I know how I can explain this to make sense.

00:51:03.300 Penn Jillette would not be a Supreme Court justice that a lot on the right would love.

00:51:11.240 Would you agree with that?

00:51:12.300 He's an atheist.

00:51:14.460 He's an atheist.

00:51:16.500 He's, you know, he's for legalizing drugs.

00:51:20.340 He's also a magician, so probably not the top choice.

00:51:23.360 Yeah, right, right, right, right, right.

00:51:23.960 But that kind of mindset, they would not be for him.

00:51:27.680 But I will tell you that Penn Jillette would be a strict constitutionalist, I believe.

00:51:35.020 I'm just making this up, okay?

00:51:36.820 Right.

00:51:36.980 But I believe he would be a strict constitutionalist and go right down the line of the Constitution.

00:51:44.760 But he's not going to appeal to my friends.

00:51:48.180 I would not fight a Penn Jillette as long as he is going by the Constitution.

00:51:54.300 What we're doing right now is we're saying they don't agree with our lifestyle.

00:51:59.500 They don't agree with, and I don't mean us, I mean the left right now is doing this, they don't agree with all of our things that we want to push through.

00:52:08.960 Well, okay, I don't have to agree with all the things you want to push through.

00:52:13.560 I have to agree that it's constitutional or not.

00:52:17.560 If all the things you want to push through are not constitutional, sucks to be you.

00:52:23.420 But if you want to work on those things and the Supreme Court justice believes in those things, but he's going to be a strict constitutionalist, I have no problem.

00:52:33.960 And I think it's important that we have people of radically different views just not on the Constitution in the Supreme Court.

00:52:41.660 Does that make sense?

00:52:43.200 Yeah, I think so.

00:52:44.320 I think so.

00:52:45.460 The point, the center of this is what justices are supposed to do.

00:52:49.320 They're supposed to defend the Constitution and interpret what was intended, and that was what they're supposed to do.

00:52:55.860 And if you get that, you might disagree with some things, but the principle is there.

00:53:01.040 Right.

00:53:01.300 And if it was Barack Obama that was picking the replacement for Ginsburg, I would hate it, but I wouldn't want to do anything to stop it.

00:53:13.840 I would not want to sell my soul to stop it.

00:53:19.720 I would hope that we would fight in a principled way, and the way that we need to fight for that is right now, by teaching people that the Constitution frees you to live the way you want to, that government should not be involved in these things.

00:53:35.480 But I would expect, and I would fight against it, but I would expect that Barack Obama would have replaced a Ginsburg with another Ginsburg. 0.99

00:53:45.800 And I would hope that we would be better that we wouldn't do, we wouldn't talk about pubic hairs on Coke cans when it's not true.

00:53:54.820 Now this, why do we prepare?

00:53:58.960 Because if you're prepared for the worst, and the best happens, great.

00:54:05.200 Kind of like this, I prepared for the worst.

00:54:08.700 I thought Donald Trump would never, well, this is a great day for me.

00:54:14.300 You, if you believed it the whole time, might have gone today, whew, good, he did it.

00:54:18.620 I'm like, I'm having a celebration.

00:54:21.360 This is fantastic.

00:54:22.820 So when you're prepared for the worst, and the worst happens, well, you're thankful for your preparedness.

00:54:29.940 But if it doesn't, you celebrate.

00:54:31.760 So why not be prepared for the worst?

00:54:33.840 My Patriot Supply is standing by to help now.

00:54:36.820 I have to tell you about some of the conversations I had here in Los Angeles.

00:54:49.300 Well, I'm starting to stock up, really, for eight years, you said that I was nuts.

00:56:41.580 So finally, the debate that I wanted to have during the presidential election.

00:56:47.880 This is why, one of the reasons why I was for Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz as the nominees.

00:56:55.300 Because I want to have the open debate between a socialist and a constitutionalist.

00:57:02.700 Because I think when you have a Bernie Sanders next to a Ted Cruz, it's going to become obvious which one actually is freeing.

00:57:12.380 CNN has decided to do this debate.

00:57:15.000 And I can't wait to watch it.

00:57:16.440 Yeah.

00:57:16.680 Can't wait.

00:57:17.160 Tuesday at 9 p.m.

00:57:20.200 And, you know, kind of goes back to what one of the most, I think the highest rated program in the history of CNN was Al Gore versus Ross Perot on the Larry King live show.

00:57:30.520 They were debating NAFTA back in the day.

00:57:33.400 It's the highest rated show that ever aired on CNN, I believe.

00:57:36.980 At least that's what it used to say in the hallways when we worked there.

00:57:39.540 They showed all the biggest shows they ever had.

00:57:41.980 It's kind of the same type of thing.

00:57:43.440 I don't expect this one to be the highest rated.

00:57:45.460 But Ted Cruz versus Bernie Sanders on the future of Obamacare, which I think is actually a pretty short argument for Ted Cruz.

00:57:52.800 There is no future for Obamacare.

00:57:55.560 But that'll be really interesting to see.

00:57:58.840 That's not, I mean, that's a great debate to have.

00:58:00.960 But wouldn't you love to have the debate of a constitutional free market versus a socialist planned market?

00:58:15.160 That's unbelievable.

00:58:16.200 Do you happen to have, do we have time to play the audio?

00:58:19.280 A student to Pelosi.

00:58:20.940 Young people don't believe in capitalism. 0.99

00:58:23.660 Do you have that audio, Pat?

00:58:25.240 Yeah, we don't have time for that right now.

00:58:26.520 We don't have time.

00:58:26.940 We can play it after the break.

00:58:28.200 Yeah, play it after the break.

00:58:29.280 Because Nancy Pelosi was, a couple of students talked to her yesterday and was caught on tape.

00:58:36.580 And one of them is about socialism.

00:58:39.080 And I think this is absolutely true.

00:58:41.260 I think we have lost the next generation because we're not, we're making a case that what's happening right now is capitalism.

00:58:52.600 What's happening right now is the free market.

00:58:56.120 What's happening right now is constitutional.

00:58:59.020 And it's none of those things.

00:59:00.600 We don't live in the free market.

00:59:02.280 We're living in a planned economy.

00:59:05.020 That's what the Fed is, planning our economy.

00:59:07.820 We live in a world of cronyism, not a free market.

00:59:14.380 And we, by defending what's happening right now, it's being redefined for our children.

00:59:22.640 They think that what we're doing right now or what we've done, you know, in the last 20 years is the free market.

00:59:29.600 It's not.

00:59:30.840 It's not.

00:59:31.620 And that we have to do a better job in sharing with the youth because they think the alternative now is Marxism.

00:59:40.400 We should give that a whirl.

00:59:41.740 And that's a nightmare.

00:59:42.920 We are one.

00:59:46.220 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:49.340 Mercury.

00:59:52.200 888-727-BAC.

00:59:54.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:57.620 Tonight, we open up the vault with David Barton.

01:00:00.620 A lot of people have been asking to bring back Founding Fridays or things like that onto the blaze.

01:00:06.860 We have David Barton in a series that begins tonight on the vault.

01:00:10.240 We open it up and we look at black history.

01:00:12.900 We're doing Black History Month this month in a way that nobody else is doing black history.

01:00:19.400 Tonight, black history that I can guarantee you, if you're black or your black friends have never heard.

01:00:29.460 And there are stories that I have not heard.

01:00:34.180 And the evidence in the vault that these people existed and what we're telling you is true.

01:00:40.920 Also, beginning next week on his story, we tell the story in the next four weeks for Black History Month of black history giants that have been all but erased.

01:00:53.880 There are a couple of stories that we're going to tell you that I can guarantee you didn't know.

01:01:00.140 Guarantee.

01:01:00.740 And even if you're black and you think you're up to speed on black history, I sat with five black men.

01:01:13.100 Two of them were pretty big scholars on African-American history.

01:01:19.940 Blew them away.

01:01:22.860 I expected them to know this because, I mean, I'm discovering things and I'm like, I know this is not being taught in school.

01:01:28.940 But these men are really, really sharp and they have really done their homework on black history.

01:01:34.280 And they know it.

01:01:36.460 When they heard these stories, they were like, wait, hold it.

01:01:40.280 And they just froze the conversation and went to Google.

01:01:44.680 They didn't believe in the conversation.

01:01:47.100 And I'm sitting there with the stuff.

01:01:49.140 And I'm like, no, really, this is what this is.

01:01:52.060 Hang on.

01:01:53.360 Went right to their phones to Google and then just read for about three minutes.

01:01:57.220 It was like, holy cow.

01:01:59.440 How do I not know that?

01:02:02.060 It's quite a month.

01:02:04.360 Tuesday and Wednesday nights, all during February.

01:02:08.320 It's his story on Tuesdays and the vault.

01:02:12.920 And tonight, Black History with David Barton, episode number one on the vault.

01:02:18.060 You don't want to miss it.

01:02:19.160 Only on the Blaze TV.

01:02:20.880 This is a great month to watch this as a family because you will really learn stuff that you just didn't know.

01:02:29.520 And is really important.

01:02:31.800 Really important.

01:02:34.680 All right.

01:02:35.480 Let's go to the Nancy Pelosi audio and why we are teaching history.

01:02:41.580 And I'm focusing on this.

01:02:43.360 Listen to this student asking Nancy Pelosi a question.

01:02:47.120 People between the ages of 18 and 29, not just Democrats, not just leftists, 51 percent of people between 18 and 29 no longer support the system of capitalism.

01:02:56.960 And that's not me asking you to make a radical statement about capitalism.

01:03:00.540 But I'm just telling you that my experience is that the younger generation is moving left on economic issues.

01:03:06.940 And I've been so excited to see how Democrats have moved left on social issues.

01:03:11.500 As a gay man, I've been very proud to see you fighting for our rights and for many leaders, many Democratic leaders fighting for our rights.

01:03:19.500 But I wonder if there's anywhere you feel that the Democrats could move farther left to a more populist message, the way the alt-right has sort of captured this populist strain on the right wing.

01:03:30.420 Stop.

01:03:31.540 You hear what he just said?

01:03:34.160 Yeah.

01:03:35.100 That I'm wondering if you can move to a more populist message.

01:03:40.340 Populism, a populist movement is not good.

01:03:46.820 That's not good.

01:03:48.540 That's the way freedom dies every time.

01:03:51.920 Because when you are a populist, you can, that's what they call, that's what they used to accuse me of.

01:03:59.120 And I was like, I am not a populist.

01:04:01.240 I just happened to believe these things, and it happens to be sinking with a lot of people because that's where they are right now.

01:04:12.800 It's, for someone to say, can we design a populist movement is really, really dangerous.

01:04:22.500 And he's saying, hey, can we design a populist movement?

01:04:27.640 Can we do something like the neo-Nazis are doing?

01:04:32.540 No, that's not good.

01:04:34.640 That's not good.

01:04:35.480 Not good.

01:04:36.200 If you think we could make a more stark contrast to right wing economics.

01:04:41.420 Well, I thank you for your question, but I have to say we're capitalist.

01:04:46.060 And that's just the way it is.

01:04:47.300 However, we do think that capitalism is not necessarily meeting the needs with the income inequality that we have in our country.

01:04:56.240 Well, what a contradictory statement that is.

01:04:58.900 What?

01:04:59.300 Yeah.

01:04:59.940 But you're capitalist, but it's not working.

01:05:03.420 So, huh, that's interesting.

01:05:06.900 That's fascinating.

01:05:08.000 Of course, they're not capitalists in the first place.

01:05:11.100 No, I don't think, very few people are capitalists.

01:05:14.260 But certainly not the Democrats today.

01:05:16.140 Quite honestly, the way Donald Trump ran his business when it comes to getting special favors, look, I give to everybody so I have special favors, that's not pure capitalism either.

01:05:29.120 That's crony capitalism.

01:05:31.000 And that is truly the problem, is we have made capitalism into crony capitalism.

01:05:39.480 And, you know, it's one of these things that, and I've said this for a long time, and I think I finally solved it in my head, and it wasn't really hard.

01:05:47.660 I don't know why I didn't see this.

01:05:49.080 But I think I finally solved this in my head.

01:05:50.640 I've said this for years, that the only part of American history that breaks apart for me is that time period where people like Carnegie and Rockefeller could manipulate the system because they had so much money.

01:06:10.980 They could manipulate the system because there's no difference between those guys and what George Soros is doing.

01:06:19.520 He's using his money to buy access and manipulate the system.

01:06:24.560 And that's wrong.

01:06:27.100 I can't be put out of business by those kind of people if I'm just starting.

01:06:34.140 Then I've got the, you know, the lords and the serfs problem that we had under, you know, autocratic rule with the kings.

01:06:44.540 So how do you solve that?

01:06:47.580 You know, is there, and progressives will say, well, maybe there's a cap.

01:06:50.740 You can only have so much money.

01:06:52.000 No, the solution is really simple.

01:06:56.020 You strip government of so much power that no one has any lever to pull to help one guy or another.

01:07:07.160 All you do is make sure that everyone is playing the game and no one has special access.

01:07:13.780 And let me show you how this worked.

01:07:16.540 If you're by your computer right now, or just remember this, and when you get near a computer, do this.

01:07:22.360 I want you to just Google 30 Rock picture from Avenue of the Americas.

01:07:33.460 Okay?

01:07:33.740 That's the 6th Avenue.

01:07:35.020 It's not the ice skating rink view that is always shown on television.

01:07:40.440 Google it for me real quick.

01:07:41.960 I got it.

01:07:42.180 Matthew, hand it to me, so I make sure that that's what it's doing.

01:07:46.420 Tell me, describe what it's showing you, Stu.

01:07:51.800 There are several views.

01:07:53.580 I'm not exactly sure which one you're looking for.

01:07:55.000 I want corner to corner.

01:07:55.700 I want the front of 30 Rock from the Avenue of the Americas, and I want it from corner to corner on 6th Avenue.

01:08:03.140 Despite doing the show there, multiple years, I can't exactly remember what part I'm looking at.

01:08:13.260 Let's see.

01:08:15.060 It's from the street.

01:08:16.500 Yeah, I've got it here.

01:08:17.720 So all I Googled was 30 Rock picture from 6th Avenue, and the one that I came up with has the fountain in front of it from across the street.

01:08:27.660 Okay?

01:08:27.940 Yes.

01:08:28.260 Okay.

01:08:28.440 Okay, you got that one?

01:08:29.660 Yep.

01:08:30.320 Okay.

01:08:31.040 Now, I want you to understand that 30 Rock, that Rockefeller Center, is not what you think it is.

01:08:37.140 People think Rockefeller Center is just that little group of buildings around the ice rink, right?

01:08:42.640 Right.

01:08:42.880 But Rockefeller Center is the Fox building across the street, the Simon & Schuster building two blocks down.

01:08:51.740 All of those buildings in about a 12-block area, all the way to MoMA, that is Rockefeller Center.

01:08:59.180 And it was the slum of New York.

01:09:03.300 Rockefeller, selfishly—now think of this—selfishly didn't want his home to be so close to slums. 0.90

01:09:10.880 So he started buying up all these slums and just plowing them, and he thought, I'm going to build something great around my house so my neighbor is a little nicer.

01:09:20.680 So he buys everything.

01:09:23.300 When it comes down to it, he has bought 12 blocks.

01:09:28.820 Everything is flattened except two buildings.

01:09:33.480 And if you look at that picture, Stu, look at the picture, you'll see 30 Rock right in the center.

01:09:38.360 Tell me what's on each side.

01:09:40.700 Buildings that do not belong there, if you were to design it from scratch.

01:09:44.700 They're little four-floor buildings with—now it has like a store at street level and maybe apartments above it, but very tiny.

01:09:55.780 It looks like a little row home almost.

01:09:57.740 Yes.

01:09:57.940 And it's about three to four stories.

01:10:00.560 And they don't match on either side, right?

01:10:02.660 No, one's brown, one's gray.

01:10:04.720 For eight blocks in Rockefeller Center, on that side of the street, for eight blocks, all of the businesses or all of the buildings are all Art Deco, a brand-new American kind of design.

01:10:19.760 Rockefeller Center was—the intent was to make an American building and to introduce a new American style of design, because everything had the big columns and everything else.

01:10:33.080 And so you see those two buildings on each side.

01:10:36.900 He couldn't get them done.

01:10:38.640 He couldn't get those guys out.

01:10:40.660 He tried with the courts, and the court said, unconstitutional.

01:10:44.640 And he's like, look, I'm trying to build something important for the city.

01:10:48.760 Unconstitutional.

01:10:49.160 You'll have to buy them.

01:10:51.540 The one guy—I believe the guy on the left of the picture was greedy, and he knew that this was the crown jewel building that he was going to—wanted to build there.

01:11:04.660 And so he was greedy.

01:11:06.040 The guy on the other side, on the right-hand side of Rockefeller Center, that was an Irish pub.

01:11:12.160 And the family had come from Ireland, and they had made a pub, and it was great success.

01:11:18.080 Then Prohibition held on.

01:11:20.660 They lived in the upper floors.

01:11:22.680 They closed the pub.

01:11:24.080 I don't know what they were doing for money, but it fell into disrepair because Prohibition—they had no money, but they held on to that building because they knew Prohibition would end.

01:11:34.000 And that family said, this is what my grandfather built, this is what my father ran, and I will run it again.

01:11:44.840 I'm not selling for any price.

01:11:47.380 The price for each of those buildings reached seven figures, and the greedy guy said, no, it's not enough.

01:11:56.800 You need my property.

01:11:58.700 And the pub guy said, no price.

01:12:02.260 No price.

01:12:03.760 The attorney went back to Rockefeller, took his coat off, and he said, couldn't get it done.

01:12:10.220 Rockefeller said, put your coat back on.

01:12:13.200 You go tell the architects, build around them.

01:12:17.380 That is an example of true capitalism, the most powerful man in the world at the time, the guy who owned Standard Oil, the guy who—and this is a story for another show—the guy who kept the Empire State Building empty.

01:12:38.080 The Empire State Building was built, and nobody was moving their offices into the Empire State Building.

01:12:44.780 They called it—it was the joke for a while—the empty state building.

01:12:52.020 Why was it empty?

01:12:54.320 Because Rockefeller muscled every corporation to move into the new Rockefeller Center.

01:13:02.100 That's how powerful he was.

01:13:04.340 Every one of those buildings was sold out before they ever cut the ribbon.

01:13:09.000 Every space in the Great Depression was filled because he muscled people, but he couldn't muscle the average American out of their own space.

01:13:21.440 That is capitalism.

01:13:24.060 Now this.

01:13:24.820 We're racing towards a digital economy, and I want you to read Goldline's important information and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you, but they have a new report out on the free cashless society.

01:13:37.760 The cashless society is real, and I know this sounds crazy, but if you think about it, when's the last time you carried cash?

01:13:46.820 When's the last time you bought anything with cash?

01:13:50.820 Tell me the millennials.

01:13:54.000 Tell me the last time a millennial—you bought a millennial a wallet for their cash. 0.90

01:14:01.040 Tell me how, if you're in the money clip industry, how well is business going for you right now?

01:14:09.040 Huh?

01:14:09.820 Not happening.

01:14:11.260 And this isn't some conspiracy.

01:14:12.920 It's only normal.

01:14:14.540 Now, this is going to happen.

01:14:17.680 Now, the fear is that it's not going to be Bitcoin that changes the world, that it won't be a private cryptocurrency.

01:14:28.480 What will happen is the governments of the world, in a giant crash, will say, reset all of it, and we'll go to cryptocurrency.

01:14:37.420 Because then no cheating on taxes, no illegal drug sales, no nothing.

01:14:42.960 And they can track you every step of the way.

01:14:47.140 And you ever fall out of favor in a communist country, well, good luck for you, because they'll choke you off.

01:14:53.560 Oh, your bank account, zero?

01:14:55.520 Hmm, maybe you should be more politically correct.

01:14:57.680 This is what's coming to the world.

01:15:01.960 Me, I'm more concerned about the insurance of a collapse of the economy, and that's when gold really comes in handy.

01:15:10.560 Always, the world returns to the gold standard.

01:15:13.200 I want you to call Goldline.

01:15:14.620 See if buying gold is right for you.

01:15:43.980 I'm glad you're here.

01:15:46.180 Pat, can we play just a couple of Gorsuch lines here?

01:15:49.380 Do we have anything short?

01:15:50.420 Go ahead and play something.

01:15:51.260 Standing here in a house of history and acutely aware of my own imperfections,

01:15:56.920 I pledge that if I am confirmed, I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great country.

01:16:05.600 That's all we want, right?

01:16:06.820 We want a faithful servant of the Constitution.

01:16:09.200 That's what his job would be.

01:16:11.540 But progressives don't like that.

01:16:13.040 No, they don't.

01:16:13.900 They don't like that.

01:16:14.780 I mean, real progressives, early 20th century progressives don't like that because they know the Constitution will allow them to speak and live their life the way they want.

01:16:25.660 But the Constitution will not allow others to force you to follow somebody else.

01:16:32.020 It allows them to live the life that they want as well.

01:16:35.720 And that doesn't give control over anybody's life.

01:17:21.620 Good.

01:17:22.180 And I have a story of the doctor that was the first doctor to cryogenically freeze people.

01:17:32.440 And they're ready to bring somebody back from the dead.

01:17:36.460 The first person to be frozen.

01:17:39.580 Maybe they may try to revive soon.

01:17:42.240 It's an incredible story.

01:17:43.660 And you know how Madonna said at one point, if you vote for Hillary, and I know there's a lot of men out here, but I will personally, personally provide oral sex to any man who votes for Hillary.

01:17:58.700 I recall.

01:18:00.440 Yeah, right.

01:18:01.240 There is a woman in Italy who vowed to do that.

01:18:09.260 She's a model over in Italy. 0.98

01:18:12.080 She's very beautiful.

01:18:14.380 And she is keeping up with her promise.

01:18:18.420 And she's now started a tour.

01:18:20.400 And you sign up for a time.

01:18:23.980 And you come in.

01:18:25.320 And she says that she's got $19 million to do.

01:18:31.400 You're as good as your word.

01:18:32.500 You're as good as your word.

01:18:33.880 And she honestly said, I'm doing this because I am a woman who keeps her word.

01:18:42.320 Okay, sticking with principles.

01:18:44.960 We're going to start there right now.

01:18:47.220 I will make a stand.

01:18:50.680 I will raise my voice.

01:18:52.960 I will hold your hand.

01:18:55.380 Because we are one.

01:18:57.180 I will beat my drum.

01:18:59.440 I have made my choice.

01:19:01.700 We will overcome.

01:19:04.000 Because we are one.

01:19:06.060 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:19:09.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:15.420 Hello, America.

01:19:17.220 All right.

01:19:19.120 So this.

01:19:19.940 Proud Hillary voters.

01:19:21.600 All of us.

01:19:21.980 I was right here.

01:19:22.600 Proud Hillary voters.

01:19:24.300 So here's the.

01:19:25.920 Here is the.

01:19:27.080 No.

01:19:27.420 Even for that, I'm not going to say I vote for Hillary.

01:19:31.180 I refuse to make that claim.

01:19:34.460 All right.

01:19:36.220 This Naples-born.

01:19:37.720 And I want to use in, you know, parenthetically speak, actress. 0.99

01:19:44.540 Uh, she's a Naples-born model, actress, um, who during the election in Italy made her, uh, her promise very, uh, clear.

01:19:57.640 She wrote on Facebook, I will practice oral sex with do and careful craftsmanship.

01:20:04.240 Uh, and I will fulfill my duty without, uh, okay, we'll leave that out.

01:20:11.700 Uh, wow.

01:20:12.340 And I will strictly look you in the eye the entire time.

01:20:17.300 All of this to any man who will vote no in the referendum.

01:20:22.440 Okay.

01:20:23.440 She is, uh, she's a, a, a beautiful woman.

01:20:27.220 Um, and, uh, she said she's gone on this.

01:20:32.340 Let me get this right.

01:20:33.100 She, she went on this, uh, Pompatour, which that is slang, uh, for that act. 1.00

01:20:42.480 Uh, and so she's gone on that, that, that tour.

01:20:46.820 Um, and she had her first stop.

01:20:50.540 She said 400 men.

01:20:53.160 She fulfilled the promise for 400 men.

01:20:56.900 She wrote on Facebook, first step of the Pompatour is gone.

01:21:02.360 I'm a little bit tired by everything.

01:21:06.360 My jaw is a little sore, but I'm okay.

01:21:10.760 This year is starting the best way possible.

01:21:14.660 That's the best way possible.

01:21:16.800 Oh, I guess, I guess she.

01:21:18.780 So this was some Italian referendum.

01:21:21.680 Do we know what it was about?

01:21:23.240 It's funny.

01:21:23.580 I read the same matter.

01:21:24.640 Does it?

01:21:25.000 It doesn't even, I don't think it explains what the actual vote was.

01:21:28.020 They were like, I'm not even going to toss that detail in here.

01:21:30.340 And how do you prove whether or not you voted no on the referendum?

01:21:33.400 I think you just say it.

01:21:34.680 You just say it.

01:21:35.280 I don't think she cares.

01:21:36.320 Wow.

01:21:36.700 So Instagram comments, um, the, uh, one person commented there were 51 people at the Rome event.

01:21:44.520 Uh, many replies from people saying that they want photographic proof of this.

01:21:50.380 Um, one who claimed said he was there said he was, it was very discreet that he had to hand over his phone prior to entering.

01:21:58.120 No photos or videos were allowed.

01:22:00.680 Um, uh, let's see.

01:22:03.700 Uh, uh, she is starting a 10 city tour.

01:22:09.860 Rome was just the first stop.

01:22:12.100 She said, she's just doing it to prove that she's a woman of her word.

01:22:17.480 Well, I mean, this is, this is the big asterisk here, which is really, I mean, upsetting.

01:22:21.960 I mean, it's the problem that everybody has with politics.

01:22:24.380 She promised, uh, every one of the 19 million, uh, people, men who voted for this.

01:22:30.220 Uh, and what she's saying now is my jaw is sore.

01:22:33.380 I don't, I would like to get to a million.

01:22:35.920 Well, that's 5% of what you promised.

01:22:37.900 You know, this is the type, this is the time where we're supposed to stand up for our principles and people are just being sick of being let down.

01:22:46.940 Wait a minute.

01:22:47.300 You said you're going to do this.

01:22:48.620 Now you're only doing 5% of it.

01:22:50.200 I mean, it's an incredibly disappointing thing.

01:22:52.620 And it shows that she's not a person of her word.

01:22:55.380 She said she does while she was in Rome.

01:22:58.900 She did have to ask sometimes for a timeout.

01:23:04.100 Uh, she said, I just, I decide whether.

01:23:07.900 The guy has to wear a condom or not.

01:23:10.980 This is the problem here too, by the way.

01:23:12.840 Um, in case you happen to be in Italy and taking part in this, uh, you should decide to use the condom.

01:23:17.900 Just so you know.

01:23:18.920 Why are you taking away man's rights? 0.98

01:23:20.420 If she's deciding to use the condom, you should decide to use the condom.

01:23:25.480 She said one man came in and started to cry saying, I'm sorry.

01:23:29.340 I'm sorry.

01:23:29.840 I can't go through with it.

01:23:30.900 I'm just too shy.

01:23:32.180 Jeffy.

01:23:32.660 She said, I did my best, uh, for a couple of minutes, but he went away because he didn't feel comfortable.

01:23:38.300 I wonder why.

01:23:39.280 I mean, that's kind of sad.

01:23:40.220 Just because you're, you're, you're receiving oral sex because of something you voted for with no one, someone you've never met before. 0.92

01:23:45.260 And it doesn't really work out.

01:23:46.900 What a, what a, what a shock.

01:23:48.740 And somebody who you're just standing in line for.

01:23:52.260 Why, why would that be something that would, um, wow.

01:23:57.880 Okay.

01:23:58.040 So I just threw this in today because I thought if you think we have hit the bottom of the barrel, we've got a long way to go.

01:24:06.020 Yeah.

01:24:06.460 We've got, Madonna's got to follow through. 1.00

01:24:08.260 Madonna said she was going to do that.

01:24:09.960 Yeah.

01:24:10.240 And then she didn't know.

01:24:11.780 Oh, nothing would make me happier if she said she was following through and then just had crickets throughout an auditorium, but people waiting for her, a giant zilch shows up. 0.96

01:24:22.260 Everybody's like, Madonna's in there.

01:24:23.880 She'll do it on anybody. 1.00

01:24:25.880 Ooh.

01:24:26.460 Oh, no, thank you.

01:24:27.980 And this is a big change.

01:24:28.900 She's going to be wrapped in a giant condom. 1.00

01:24:31.500 She'll do it on anybody. 1.00

01:24:32.620 A big change from the rest of her life.

01:24:36.340 Before there just was no vote.

01:24:38.060 All right.

01:24:40.000 From the Daily Mail, an exclusive today.

01:24:43.460 Uh, and by the way, if you want to hear our talk on Gorsuch, we, we just did two hours of it.

01:24:48.360 And, uh, and just go to the glenbeck.com and, and, uh, go to the bottom of the page, the audio section, and you'll see it hour one, hour two today.

01:24:56.160 Um, all of it that you can possibly handle and more and some surprising things that we had to say.

01:25:01.160 Um, from the Daily Mail, it was late in the evening on January 12th, 1967.

01:25:09.920 Three men were laboring over the body of a psychology professor, James Bedford, who had just died from kidney cancer at the age of 72.

01:25:18.280 But while the manner of Bedford's death in a bed in the hospital in Glendale, California was not unusual, what happened next certainly was.

01:25:27.080 Bedford was about to become the world's first, uh, cryo-preserved human being, and now lies suspended in liquid nitrogen in a vault in Scottsdale, Arizona.

01:25:37.640 Although the 72-year-old said before his death that he didn't expect to be revived, scientist Robert Nelson, one of the trio who carried out the preservation process, says he's confident that Bedford will one day live again.

01:25:51.200 When we froze Bedford, man who, man had never been on the moon.

01:25:54.700 There had never been a heart transplant.

01:25:56.140 There was no GPS, no cell phones.

01:25:58.540 Now, Nelson, 80, said in an interview, they have all of the, uh, pictures of, of it happening at the time.

01:26:05.760 Who knows what the next 50 years is going to bring?

01:26:08.780 I think, um, there is hope that nanotechnology will bring him back, and it will exist sooner rather than later.

01:26:17.260 It's about to be set into a film starring Paul Rudd, and will follow his life, blah, blah, blah.

01:26:22.460 It does have its darker moments, not least the 1979 court case, which saw the doctor sued for $400,000 by some of the families of those he treated

01:26:32.620 after he ran out of money to service his California cryogenic vault and left their bodies to decompose.

01:26:39.880 See, that's, that's my fear is, you know, you'll get frozen, and, you know, I thought, you know, I didn't think you could die.

01:26:46.480 I thought you, you had to do it, you know, while you were still breathing your last breath.

01:26:50.580 And so I always thought, you know, what'll happen to me is they'll freeze me, and then it'll run out of money,

01:26:57.480 and then I'll wake up trapped in this vault, and I'll be like, help, help.

01:27:01.480 And then I'll have that feeling of being trapped in the coffin, and then I take my last breath from cancer.

01:27:07.300 So it's never sounded appealing to me, but maybe that's just me.

01:27:11.560 He talks, this article goes on, and it talks about how the first patients were done.

01:27:17.420 Now listen to this, Bedford's journey began with an ice bath, followed by being stuffed into a styrofoam foam box,

01:27:25.980 temporarily stored in an L.A. garage.

01:27:30.120 This doesn't sound good.

01:27:32.020 Along with Nelson, a retired electrician who never finished high school,

01:27:37.000 and an Italian biologist and a chemist of Santa Barbara, California,

01:27:41.320 began working on the psychologist moments after he was pronounced dead.

01:27:44.880 So if you were introducing me to my team, and I'm like, okay, so who's going to do this?

01:27:50.480 Well, I got this retired electrician over here.

01:27:53.000 He thinks he can build a box or something for you.

01:27:55.580 It's not filling me with a lot of confidence.

01:27:58.640 As a result, Bedford spent his first two weeks in suspended animation,

01:28:03.020 stashed in a California Canyon garage,

01:28:07.540 belonging to two pothead friends of Nelson's,

01:28:10.680 and the body arrived in the back of a pickup truck.

01:28:14.540 What?

01:28:15.480 Wow.

01:28:15.720 I had friends who lived in California,

01:28:18.460 which is the hippie, in the area which is the hippie capital of Los Angeles.

01:28:23.600 At the time, everyone out there smoked pot,

01:28:26.160 and I had these two pothead friends of mine

01:28:27.980 called Sandra Stanley and Shelby Dazinski, who I love dearly.

01:28:33.220 I called him up and said, hey, I have a problem.

01:28:35.940 I need your help.

01:28:36.960 Sandra said, what?

01:28:38.920 Well, I have this frozen guy and no place to put him,

01:28:42.140 and it's going to be two or three weeks before I can move him.

01:28:45.840 She said, okay, let us think about it.

01:28:49.240 She hung up.

01:28:50.380 She called back, and she said, I just talked to Shelby,

01:28:54.120 and he said, hey, what are friends for?

01:28:57.960 Well, I don't know.

01:29:01.260 Pat, I just want to ask you.

01:29:02.540 We've been friends for 30 years.

01:29:04.740 If you call me and say, hey, I've got a problem.

01:29:07.360 I've got a body I need to stash in your garage,

01:29:10.180 it'll be two weeks before I can get it out.

01:29:13.000 You're not going for that?

01:29:14.340 No, I don't think so.

01:29:15.400 I don't think that's a reasonable request.

01:29:17.200 I think that goes beyond the, hey, what are friends for kind of thing.

01:29:22.260 Yeah, it does.

01:29:23.280 Yeah, maybe just a little.

01:29:23.960 I couldn't disagree more.

01:29:25.800 Yeah, right.

01:29:26.600 Right.

01:29:27.960 So here we were going through this canyon along these incredible windy roads

01:29:31.540 with a frozen doctor in the back of my pickup truck.

01:29:34.860 It was crazy.

01:29:36.420 I look back on it now and think, oh, my gosh, what was I thinking?

01:29:42.420 Would that even be legal?

01:29:44.640 So for two weeks, the guy is dead and just put on ice in a styrofoam box?

01:29:49.040 Yeah.

01:29:49.180 That's not cryogenically frozen.

01:29:51.160 No, no, no.

01:29:51.680 That guy's dead.

01:29:53.840 No, no, no.

01:29:54.540 Long dead.

01:29:55.280 No, no, no.

01:29:55.700 Dead on ice.

01:29:56.300 They put him on ice, but it did say that they, it goes on to say, and maybe we can get to

01:30:00.940 it on the way back, that he took, they took the body and they took the blood out and they

01:30:07.180 put some sort of antifreeze in him.

01:30:11.880 Okay, well, that'll work.

01:30:14.320 Okay, then that's fine.

01:30:15.480 I'm sure.

01:30:16.960 Well, that's how they do it.

01:30:17.700 That's what the chemist was there.

01:30:19.020 They filled him with some sort of...

01:30:20.860 I mean, that's how they do it.

01:30:22.100 Yeah.

01:30:22.600 Isn't there an actual company that does this?

01:30:24.760 Yeah.

01:30:25.360 There is now.

01:30:25.960 Yeah, but it had to start somewhere.

01:30:27.600 Wow.

01:30:27.760 It started in this garage.

01:30:28.860 Like, you know, look.

01:30:29.920 Wow.

01:30:30.320 Apple started in a garage.

01:30:31.980 Yeah.

01:30:32.980 That's true.

01:30:33.480 Yeah, it did.

01:30:34.360 Is it possible that he was only mostly dead?

01:30:38.220 No, he was actually dead.

01:30:39.580 Oh, okay.

01:30:40.000 He was all dead.

01:30:40.500 He was actually dead.

01:30:40.960 He was all dead.

01:30:42.860 I'm sorry, but I don't think...

01:30:44.700 He's not coming back.

01:30:45.980 He's not coming back.

01:30:47.000 Nope.

01:30:47.480 He's not coming back.

01:30:48.460 And wouldn't it be horrible?

01:30:49.520 You die, and if we're right, and you die, and your soul goes up to heaven, and you're up 0.66

01:30:55.460 in heaven, you're like, oh, this is so, this is sweet.

01:30:58.280 And all of a sudden, 50 years on earth go by, and you're sucked back into your body,

01:31:02.300 and you'd be like, oh, crap. 0.67

01:31:04.860 Are you kidding me?

01:31:07.360 I don't think that's something that I'm looking forward to.

01:31:09.880 No, I don't think it's something that can happen either.

01:31:12.060 Yeah.

01:31:12.820 But let's say this guy was a really bad guy, and he was on that endless lake.

01:31:17.560 How do you describe it, Pat?

01:31:19.520 That endless lake of fire?

01:31:21.000 Where you're continually burning, but are never consumed.

01:31:23.660 Exactly right.

01:31:24.800 If you're there, and they bring you back to life.

01:31:28.900 Something like that.

01:31:29.580 Yeah, that'd be better.

01:31:30.780 That'd be a little bit better.

01:31:32.300 What?

01:31:32.560 You moved my body to Phoenix?

01:31:35.280 What's wrong with you guys?

01:31:37.960 All right.

01:31:38.600 Our sponsor, this half hour, is Pro Flowers.

01:31:42.340 Make this year the year you don't procrastinate on getting your Valentine's Day gift.

01:31:47.340 You have to do it right.

01:31:48.440 Can you take a shot of, in the studio, if you're watching TV, of the roses?

01:31:52.880 Now, they have been there for about eight days.

01:31:56.500 They were sitting in Michelle's office in the box for two days.

01:32:03.480 I put them there last Friday, and I don't even know if I put water in them.

01:32:08.120 Go down and do I put, is there water even in those?

01:32:10.300 And look, they still look beautiful.

01:32:14.520 And no, no pedal has fallen off.

01:32:17.680 They're set in a box in Michelle's office.

01:32:20.940 And then they went into our studio, and I know I didn't put water in that vase.

01:32:24.880 Somebody else did that.

01:32:26.300 And they're still opening up.

01:32:29.000 Flowers anyplace else don't do that.

01:32:32.200 The reason why these last so long is because Pro Flowers cuts them at the order.

01:32:39.640 Then they ship them directly to you.

01:32:41.840 So they don't, they're not shipped to a warehouse.

01:32:44.340 Then to truck over, you know, overground to a store or to a florist or to your grocery store.

01:32:52.380 Have somebody arrange them.

01:32:53.800 Then put them in the refrigerator there waiting for you to pick them up.

01:32:59.420 All that time is when they should be at your house.

01:33:04.860 They are at your house with Pro Flowers.

01:33:48.060 We have one.

01:33:50.820 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:53.280 Mercury.

01:33:54.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:58.760 I really want to get to ESPN on ESPN Crime.

01:34:05.280 There's an amazing story that we have to get to.

01:34:07.840 But we also want to go back and look at Nancy Pelosi.

01:34:11.360 Something else that was said to Nancy Pelosi yesterday that is worth reporting on.

01:34:15.460 There are over 300 cities in this country that are sanctuary cities.

01:34:19.240 Hold on just a second.

01:34:20.320 Is this Charlie Brown?

01:34:22.960 Does that sound like Charlie Brown?

01:34:25.040 Is this a kid, Pat?

01:34:26.880 This is the mother of a person who was killed by an illegal alien.

01:34:34.420 This is a mom?

01:34:35.240 Yes.

01:34:36.000 Okay.

01:34:36.440 Yeah.

01:34:36.760 So she might be sick like I am.

01:34:39.800 She was killed by an undocumented immigrant, Pat. 1.00

01:34:43.100 She wasn't, but her son was.

01:34:44.760 And you're not only choosing to disavow the law, but you're adding sanctuary to people who

01:34:52.360 come there and disavow the law.

01:34:55.580 In 2010, one of the illegals slaughtered my son. 1.00

01:35:00.340 I'm so sorry.

01:35:01.160 He tortured him.

01:35:02.340 He beat him.

01:35:03.400 On the horse.

01:35:04.000 He tied him up like an animal.

01:35:06.860 And he set him on fire.

01:35:08.700 And I am not a one-story mother.

01:35:12.200 We have to start giving American families first.

01:35:16.620 This is not bad to not put Americans first.

01:35:20.860 You know, we have families that fought and died for this country.

01:35:23.940 How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law?

01:35:31.780 And the second part of my question is this.

01:35:33.480 Great question.

01:35:33.820 That was a darn good question.

01:35:34.800 If you need to go home tonight and line up your babies, as you say, and your grandbabies,

01:35:39.100 which one of them could you look in their eyes today and tell them that they're expendable

01:35:46.460 for another foreign person to have a nicer life? 1.00

01:35:50.600 Which one would you like to say, you, my child, are expendable for someone else to come over here

01:35:57.280 and not follow the law and have a nicer life?

01:36:00.300 Well, again, I commend you.

01:36:02.820 Great question.

01:36:03.300 I commend you for sharing your story.

01:36:05.300 I can't even imagine the pain.

01:36:07.960 I can't even imagine.

01:36:09.140 There's nothing, I'm sure, that can compare to the griefs that you have.

01:36:13.960 And so I pray for you.

01:36:14.960 And so I pray for you.

01:36:15.440 I pray for you.

01:36:16.420 And again, we all pray that none of us has to experience what you've experienced.

01:36:20.860 So thank you for channeling your energy to help prevent something like that from happening.

01:36:25.560 But I do want to say to you that in our sanctuary cities, our people are not disobeying the law.

01:36:31.580 These are law-abiding citizens.

01:36:34.460 How do you know?

01:36:35.460 Wow.

01:36:35.500 How do you know?

01:36:38.280 And the point of sanctuary cities is that the police, if you're stopped and doing something, that's how you're found.

01:36:47.420 You can't even ask.

01:36:50.800 That's how you're found.

01:36:52.420 It's not like people are going door to door.

01:36:54.940 It's that police can't ask if you're doing something wrong.

01:36:59.840 And if you're in jail, you're not being sent back and deported.

01:37:04.260 That's the point of sanctuary cities.

01:37:06.660 We'll be back in just a minute.

01:37:10.380 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:14.000 Mercury.

01:37:15.680 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:18.840 Glad you're here from Los Angeles.

01:37:20.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:37:22.400 Two days after the NBA countdown, anchor Sage Steele, do you guys know who this is?

01:37:28.440 Yeah, she's awesome. 1.00

01:37:29.700 Okay.

01:37:30.240 Posted a complaint on Instagram about being inconvenienced by protesters at the Los Angeles International Airport.

01:37:36.660 Well, radio host Dan LeBetard.

01:37:40.340 LeBetard, I believe.

01:37:41.840 LeBetard.

01:37:43.140 Let loose on his fellow ESPN personality.

01:37:46.720 He is of Cuban heritage.

01:37:48.180 He went on ESPN radio and ripped into steel, calling her comments the height of privilege.

01:37:54.300 I, as the son of exiles, look at this, and I'm like, what the hell are you talking about?

01:37:58.900 Because what she said was, I was inconvenienced by the protesters.

01:38:03.000 That's the height of privilege.

01:38:04.520 And so, once you start opening that portal, you get to ESPN on ESPN crime.

01:38:12.420 Steele's controversial post was a picture of the crowds gathered outside of LAX to protest Donald Trump's travel ban on people from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

01:38:23.340 It was accompanied by a caption that began, so this is why thousands of us dragged luggage nearly two miles to get to LAX, but still missed our flights.

01:38:34.040 She went on later on Twitter to defend herself.

01:38:38.400 Now, let me tell you something.

01:38:39.980 I've never understood this.

01:38:41.360 Why are you making the people who might support you miserable?

01:38:48.220 Thank you.

01:38:49.260 I don't understand that.

01:38:51.400 You make me miss my flight.

01:38:53.500 You make me drag my luggage for two miles.

01:38:56.780 You make me, so I can't get an Uber.

01:38:59.640 I can't get anything.

01:39:00.340 Block traffic.

01:39:01.640 You block traffic.

01:39:02.480 How am I supposed to line up with you?

01:39:05.920 Oh, yeah.

01:39:06.320 I want to line up with those people who just were punching me in the face.

01:39:09.720 Doesn't make any sense.

01:39:10.740 It makes zero sense.

01:39:12.300 It's a big tactic.

01:39:13.220 I don't get it.

01:39:13.780 It's a big tactic of protests.

01:39:15.520 And I remember when SEIU did that, they came to Houston.

01:39:19.020 Oh, yeah, with the garbage trucks.

01:39:20.300 Yes.

01:39:20.420 They were having a janitorial dispute from the Downtown Janitorial Association or whatever it was.

01:39:25.960 And they would dump garbage in the intersections of all the main streets and screw up traffic for miles.

01:39:34.080 And you're like, what?

01:39:35.080 How is it helping you?

01:39:36.660 Why are you doing that?

01:39:37.920 That's going to make me be on your side now?

01:39:40.860 Not a chance.

01:39:41.660 No.

01:39:43.320 So weird.

01:39:44.420 Bizarre.

01:39:45.160 Really bizarre.

01:39:46.200 Does anybody understand that thinking?

01:39:48.060 Well, I think, I mean, if you protest in a field where no one sees you or maybe just notices a crowd, it doesn't really affect their consciousness.

01:39:58.000 And I think their thought is if you really disrupt their day, you're going to have no choice but to think about their strife.

01:40:03.680 I'm going to think about it in a bad way, though.

01:40:05.440 I am, too.

01:40:06.600 You screwed me up.

01:40:07.860 That doesn't help you.

01:40:09.560 No.

01:40:09.760 Because especially in California, you would think with California that, you know, there would be a lot of people that are on your side going to LAX.

01:40:23.680 Absolutely.

01:40:24.220 I agree with you on her 10%.

01:40:25.780 I don't, if I've dragged my luggage two miles and I've missed my flight, I come out and I am enraged by that.

01:40:33.460 The tea party would have done that and made my life a living hell.

01:40:39.040 I would be out front of those guys going all the time going, what the hell is wrong with you guys?

01:40:43.920 I agree with you.

01:40:45.580 Are you insane?

01:40:47.380 You've just wrecked my life for the weekend.

01:40:50.180 Thank you.

01:40:51.460 There's no way I would have ever called myself a tea partier or stood with them if they would have been destroying my life. 1.00

01:40:58.360 Glenn, what you're saying right now is the height of privilege.

01:41:00.660 Right.

01:41:01.020 I will say.

01:41:02.560 Right.

01:41:03.080 And you know what?

01:41:04.520 There's nothing wrong with enjoying the life that we all lead, and that is not having an inconvenient airport.

01:41:16.900 Well, we don't leave, I don't live in that life.

01:41:18.460 I don't know what life you live in.

01:41:19.920 No.

01:41:20.260 My airport standards in the rest of the world.

01:41:24.020 Right.

01:41:24.220 I mean, and the truth is, to make it worse, which is already a tough experience to get through the airport and deal with all that nonsense, to make it worse is terrible.

01:41:31.460 And you know what?

01:41:31.880 Every freaking person in America would have the same observation as Sage Steele had if you had to carry your luggage for two miles.

01:41:38.360 That is an infuriating thing.

01:41:40.560 It's got nothing to do with whether you believe or don't believe in the policy from Donald Trump.

01:41:44.900 It's got nothing to do with that.

01:41:46.160 This guy obviously knows that.

01:41:48.060 And, you know, Sage Steele, her background, her father was the first black player on Army's varsity team.

01:41:54.480 And that's the life of privilege, her background, is the first.

01:41:58.920 I mean, can you imagine going through that era?

01:42:01.100 You're the first black player to ever play.

01:42:03.120 He went through all sorts of racial stuff when he was younger.

01:42:07.100 This is not a person who's coming and doesn't understand the strife of people who would deal with these situations.

01:42:12.120 And to sit here and call her privileged because she wants to freaking walk through the airport and not be, not have her forward progress blocked by people, which is, I mean, if it's not illegal, I mean, I know that it's not, it's not illegal to protest.

01:42:28.200 Obviously, it's guaranteed by our Constitution, but it is illegal to stop people from moving forward in the direction that they're trying to go.

01:42:36.140 It can't impede people's progress.

01:42:37.620 It has nothing to do with privilege.

01:42:38.400 No, but it's, I don't think it's that.

01:42:40.400 I think it is that they were, you couldn't get a cab.

01:42:44.720 The cabs wouldn't take you.

01:42:46.180 They tried to do this in New York.

01:42:47.220 That's why Uber got in trouble because Uber said, they put a deal out and said, no price gouging, no price gouging, because all of the cab drivers said, we're not going to drive anybody to the airports in New York.

01:43:00.840 And so Uber got in trouble because they put out a quick tweet to everybody in the New York area.

01:43:07.800 Uber available for rides to the airport and no price gouging, same low price.

01:43:14.760 And so they got a lot of business and the left came out and said, how dare you support Donald Trump?

01:43:21.980 How dare you work against the protesters?

01:43:25.920 And so they folded immediately and said, no, no, we support, we're going to hire 10,000 of these refugees when they come in.

01:43:35.140 And they weren't, they had no reason to apologize.

01:43:39.500 They just felt that if you're not providing rides, we want you to know we will.

01:43:45.580 Well, I mean, the left where they they bash you unless you comply and the way and this is no different than the policies that they enact most times.

01:43:59.240 They think it's going to be good, but it ends in misery.

01:44:02.720 They think these protests are going to be good.

01:44:05.040 But how many people were miserable because of that?

01:44:08.860 Probably a lot.

01:44:09.580 And can we just make the point that Dan Levitard sucks show is nonsense and he sucks.

01:44:18.160 Yeah, I, is that the one where the dad is on it?

01:44:20.700 Yes.

01:44:21.300 Oh, yes.

01:44:22.500 Yes.

01:44:23.380 So bad.

01:44:24.700 So bad.

01:44:26.380 Every time it comes on, I switch from ESPN to anything else.

01:44:30.520 It's hard to believe that's not the constant.

01:44:32.440 I mean, you know, look, everyone probably turns us off, too.

01:44:34.700 I mean, they look at certainly if they look at it visually, they're like, God, what are those guys doing on television?

01:44:39.000 I get it.

01:44:39.900 But that show is inexplicable.

01:44:41.780 It is.

01:44:41.960 It's inexplicable.

01:44:43.300 It's like two guys sitting around a table in between them, however, is the dad, the Cuban dad, for whatever reason.

01:44:50.300 With a heavy accent.

01:44:51.700 Barely speaks English.

01:44:53.040 It's really weird.

01:44:54.360 It's the weirdest, worst show I've ever seen.

01:44:57.220 And that's saying something when you got a couple of those other shows on ESPN.

01:45:00.540 Can I ask you what is happening to ESPN's ratings?

01:45:04.080 Well, they're going down like everything else.

01:45:06.320 I don't know.

01:45:07.500 It could be a lot of things.

01:45:08.640 I don't.

01:45:09.540 I mean, I think that might be part of it.

01:45:10.820 But, I mean, in reality, the ratings are going down like, you know, because there's so many, you know, differences in where people are going.

01:45:19.440 People are cutting the cord.

01:45:20.560 They're going away from cable.

01:45:21.840 Yeah.

01:45:22.280 They're still pretty well positioned.

01:45:24.140 They do very well on social.

01:45:25.980 And, you know, again, one of the only things that you can really, in this world of On Demand, one of the only things protected from that environment is live sports.

01:45:34.940 I mean, it really is.

01:45:36.220 It's a magical thing.

01:45:37.900 Because I could tell you, I don't care how many times you can give me Roku and you can give me Apple TV.

01:45:42.820 You can give me all that stuff.

01:45:43.760 If you can't get me the live sports I want, I have to go where it is.

01:45:47.440 I have to.

01:45:48.060 So, it's too big of a part of American life.

01:45:51.060 And, you know, unless you're Glenn.

01:45:52.380 And I just don't know if show tunes matter if they're live or on tape.

01:45:56.900 You know, I think.

01:45:57.480 Oh, yes.

01:45:58.360 Oh, really?

01:45:59.060 Oh, yes.

01:45:59.920 Okay.

01:46:00.300 Okay.

01:46:00.540 Well, I just, I'm not in that world enough.

01:46:02.620 But I think that it is one of those things, man.

01:46:05.120 And it's why, you know, like, DirecTV will pay multiple billions of dollars for exclusive rights to NFL Sunday ticket.

01:46:11.860 Because they know people have, they have to go there.

01:46:15.940 They're going to watch.

01:46:17.240 Yeah.

01:46:17.380 The future for television is live events.

01:46:22.140 I mean, that's why NBC has been doing the, you know, hey, a marionette show live.

01:46:29.220 The sound of music with dogs live.

01:46:32.840 That's true.

01:46:33.680 That's true.

01:46:34.620 They're going back because live events.

01:46:36.880 And they're trying to find, besides sports, what live events.

01:46:41.460 Well, it will work.

01:46:43.080 They're doing that with a commercial during the Super Bowl this year, right?

01:46:46.420 Live commercial.

01:46:47.060 Snickers, I think, is pulling off, trying to pull off a live commercial.

01:46:50.820 And even like.

01:46:51.920 No way.

01:46:52.720 Yeah.

01:46:53.420 Can they make that happen?

01:46:54.840 I don't know, Glenn.

01:46:56.160 Well, you know, I could see there could be some problem.

01:46:58.340 When you're spending $5 million for 30 seconds, I'd say it's a tad risky.

01:47:02.800 But it would be interesting if they screw it up.

01:47:05.340 But, I mean, even when you're streaming live programming, which you can get, you know,

01:47:08.960 NFL Sunday ticket through, like, your PlayStation, for example.

01:47:11.460 But you're getting that still through the internet is a little bit delayed.

01:47:14.720 Yeah.

01:47:15.100 You know, it's really difficult to put that together.

01:47:18.220 And you might be subscribing to 65 services to get it done, too, which is also frustrating.

01:47:23.760 So, I mean, that is.

01:47:25.180 They might be misunderstanding why we like live programming.

01:47:27.940 We like it because it's football.

01:47:29.840 Yeah.

01:47:30.120 Not live programming.

01:47:31.500 We don't like the sound of music because it's live.

01:47:34.020 You like the sound of music just as much as you like the Green Bay Packers.

01:47:38.000 Not quite.

01:47:38.800 I mean, it's really close, but not quite.

01:47:41.140 Yeah.

01:47:41.700 You know, it's like, am I going to watch Man of La Mancha because it's live?

01:47:46.080 No.

01:47:47.460 No, I'm not.

01:47:48.540 Now this.

01:49:24.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:49:29.760 Mercury.

01:49:31.740 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:49:33.340 Welcome to the program.

01:49:37.320 Glad you're here.

01:49:39.380 Donald Trump said, I'm a man of my word, and I kept my word.

01:49:42.760 And he did.

01:49:44.180 And we did not see that one coming.

01:49:46.660 And I told you that one of the reasons why we couldn't support Donald Trump is we just didn't think that he would actually nominate and then support with the full vigor that it's going to be required to push that selection through, that we wouldn't end up with, you know, another Roberts at best.

01:50:10.320 And so far, part one, he has done and has kept his word.

01:50:14.580 Now, let's see if he holds true to it all the way.

01:50:20.260 I'm fine with Gorsuch.

01:50:21.760 There's some problems with him, but I'm fine with it and think that's great.

01:50:27.960 And so we were wrong on what President Trump would do.

01:50:34.620 And we apologize for doubting, but I think we had good reason to doubt, but we were wrong.

01:50:43.720 So that's good.

01:50:45.420 Again, you just try to you try to maximize your chances for something like this to happen.

01:50:48.400 It's something that one of the reasons we wanted Ted Cruz to be president of the United States is that he would select somebody who is a constitutionalist, an originalist to the Supreme Court.

01:50:57.940 I thought he was a great there was a great chance.

01:51:00.280 And I think if he were to have won, he probably would have done something like this, too.

01:51:03.660 So the best part is we both everyone who was in that primary and fought so hard, you're getting everybody here.

01:51:10.540 And I didn't think it was going to happen with Trump, but he he proved us wrong on that.

01:51:14.760 And I'm thrilled to be wrong.

01:51:16.020 This is a great thing for everybody who cares about the freaking Constitution, which I think there's like nine of us left now.

01:51:23.660 So it's good.

01:51:24.760 And ever since November 9th, we've been rooting for this guy.

01:51:28.460 Have we not?

01:51:29.320 Oh, yeah.

01:51:29.680 I mean, we we're we want him to succeed.

01:51:32.180 We want him to be a good president.

01:51:33.660 That doesn't mean we excuse him.

01:51:35.740 No, but we and we won't accept we won't accept things that are beneath the office of the president.

01:51:42.540 And we won't accept things that are unconstitutional.

01:51:45.580 Right.

01:51:45.840 But we want him to be successful.

01:51:48.100 And and we have reached out.

01:51:50.500 We, of course, didn't get a response, but that's OK.

01:51:52.980 We don't expect it.

01:51:53.940 We weren't there for him.

01:51:55.240 And that's the way he you know, he he settles scores like that.

01:51:59.660 He's a he's a transactional kind of guy.

01:52:03.320 Nothing wrong with that.

01:52:04.280 I don't agree with it, but that's that's fine.

01:52:06.520 We weren't there for him.

01:52:07.920 He's not going to be there.

01:52:09.000 You know, he thinks maybe that we want him there for us.

01:52:11.820 We don't.

01:52:12.540 We're fine.

01:52:14.060 I don't need to be that.

01:52:15.760 I don't need to be friends with the president.

01:52:18.000 I don't need to worship him when I don't want to hate him.

01:52:21.380 I want him to be the president of the United States and be constitutional.

01:52:24.460 And I'll support him in every way as he follows that path.

01:52:29.180 As he doesn't, I'll stand against him.

01:52:32.120 Yeah.

01:52:32.380 And we're that's good.

01:52:33.120 We're two weeks into this presidency here.

01:52:34.580 It's not time to, you know, put him put him above Reagan.

01:52:37.160 There's been some really good things and some really bad things.

01:52:39.620 However, again, that's better than I expected.

01:52:42.900 A mix would be great if that's where this ends up.

01:52:46.060 We're only two weeks in, though.

01:52:47.060 We still need to see.

01:52:47.780 We're still going to judge each individual thing based on what we believe to be true with all the evidence to support that.

01:52:54.480 And, you know, right now, I mean, Gorsuch is a good example.

01:52:57.420 You know, a lot of people were saying, well, you know, you guys said he would never nominate a Supreme Court justice.

01:53:03.240 Many of those same people said we would never say anything positive about Donald Trump.

01:53:06.760 So both of us would be wrong on a day like today.

01:53:09.620 And it's important to understand that because, you know, we we promised you that we would do these things that that if it comes down and Trump does great things and he and he deserves to be supported, then we will do it because that's that's what I want out of a show.

01:53:23.900 That's the main reason I do it because I want to be able to sleep at night.

01:53:26.660 And that's what I want out of a show.

01:53:28.000 I don't listen to these shows to be cheered on.

01:53:29.680 I want to be able to be challenged when I need to be challenged to think about things and also to get the truth from the person who's speaking.

01:53:37.080 And if we can't hit that, there's no point in doing this, even if I don't like it, even if I don't like it, I have more respect for people that I strongly disagree with.

01:53:45.200 They will actually tell me straight to my face what they think than anybody who pretends to be my friend and really isn't pretends to agree with me, but doesn't behind my back.

01:53:58.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
