Trump picks conservative Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Glenn and Jesse Jackson give their thoughts on the selection and how they feel about it. They also debate if it was a good or bad idea to nominate a conservative to the Supreme Court.
00:05:46.940It 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.
00:11:11.580Why 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?
00:11:30.460I would fully expect if the court, the only real conservative left on the court was Ginsburg.
00:11:40.560And there was a progressive president.
00:11:43.420I would expect the president to bring in a progressive.
00:11:51.120If half the country were liberal progressive citizens, I would not expect the Supreme Court not to represent their point of view.
00:12:06.080I think, and I don't know, but I think I would actually be saying on the air, look, guys, it's Ginsburg.
00:12:15.960There's no one else on the court that represents 50% of the country.
00:12:21.960It'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.
00:12:36.240If you can't see that as split as we are, would I love to have everybody a constitutional conservative on the Supreme Court?
00:13:20.360We 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.
00:13:35.380I have no problem fighting for my ideas.
00:13:39.660And I think, I really think, yesterday, I want to tell you a story later.
00:13:45.160Yesterday, 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.
00:13:58.300And 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.
00:14:09.880He invited me over to a studio and said, I want to do a sit-down with you.
00:15:45.360But 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?
00:16:08.060He believes that we're in the silent majority.
00:16:12.640I think that may not be the case now, but I do think that may be the case down the road.
00:16:19.620If 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.
00:16:40.880But they were good to each other, they liked each other, they respected each other, and they were friends.
00:16:48.180Man, that's the world I want to live in.
00:20:46.740They'd be happy if Gorsuch was the guy.
00:20:48.740They pretty much all felt good about him.
00:20:53.560What was interesting was everyone just outside of the inner circle didn't believe that the top three were actually Donald Trump's top three.
00:21:04.600He 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.
00:21:13.200There's no way there's a surprise behind this door is a candidate.
00:22:23.640You 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.
00:22:29.160Because 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.
00:22:46.540The, 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.
00:22:57.680And 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.
00:23:13.620Well, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on just a second.
00:23:15.380If 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.
00:23:24.720Uh, 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.
00:23:48.140If, 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.
00:24:00.320And they'll, they'll all, you know, John Roberts is absolutely useless.
00:24:32.920It 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.
00:24:44.620And we wouldn't care what party or what affiliations they had.
00:24:49.540If 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.
00:25:02.060Unfortunately, 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.
00:25:25.060It's, it's, it's a lot like, it's a lot like faith.
00:25:28.300Faith 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.
00:25:44.160Faith to me, religion, um, uh, is used too many times to control people.
00:25:51.940When 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.
00:26:17.720The 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.
00:26:34.760That'll hurt my religion or that will hurt my, my agenda or this or that.
00:26:39.300No, you stick by those simple rules and we'll all be free and we'll all live happily ever after and together.
00:26:48.260That 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.
00:27:01.800Because you have to be following the law.
00:27:03.840Sometimes that will disagree with what you want to happen, but you follow the law and the constitution anyway.
00:27:09.220Uh, and sometimes that will make you uncomfortable.
00:27:17.000You 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.
00:27:29.140We should listen and every, and especially if everybody in the room is standing around, you're going, look, every other country is doing this.
00:27:34.760We got to, we ought to be able to do those.
00:27:39.560And 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.
00:27:50.260No president or anybody else has the power to say, you know what, put him on an enemy's list.
00:28:01.340If 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.
00:28:09.920If 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.
00:28:20.080And then if something happens and if that guy gets away, then I'm going to be blamed for it.
00:28:52.160Somebody 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.
00:29:02.460The constitution would take away everybody's need to protest in the streets.
00:29:13.280I 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.
00:29:26.600And 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.
00:29:46.860I 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.
00:30:02.980I will stick by my principles because they are unchanging, and I will trust God to work it out.
00:30:23.140But I mean, this is a good decision, but this doesn't make a presidency.
00:30:27.320Right, 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.
00:30:35.220I 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.
00:30:44.020This 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.
00:31:02.660But we've got a long road ahead of us.
00:31:05.700I agree with him on this, and this was really important.
00:31:16.820If 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.
00:31:29.720I believe he will, because I really don't think he cares about political capital.
00:31:35.600So I think I'm going to be wrong on that one, too.
00:31:38.980But 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.
00:31:51.000I was fulfilling a promise to myself and to you that I took in 2012.
00:31:57.380I will not compromise my principles and vote for the lesser of two evils.
00:32:02.500That was my promise to myself and to the audience.
00:32:06.900As I said during the campaign, if he's president, I will give him a fresh slate.
00:32:12.780It 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.
00:32:26.440But that doesn't mean that I'm a blind follower now.
00:32:28.720And, Glenn, it's such a weird thing, I think, to me.
00:32:31.800Here's a good day where I think, you know, if you're a Trump fan, you see that he did something really good.
00:32:36.440To kind of carry around these issues from the primary is strange to me.
00:32:40.520And think about it from a perspective.
00:32:41.980If you're a Trump supporter, and you're a Trump supporter throughout the primary, and you're saying, well, you were wrong on Trump.
00:32:49.280What we did in that situation is, based on their records, who we thought would have a better percentage chance to do something like this.
00:32:57.340The 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.
00:33:05.760And it's not just the Supreme Court, but I'm just minimizing it to that issue.
00:33:09.560Our point was, we think the chances are that Cruz would be more reliable on a pick like this than Trump was.
00:33:17.080I still, to this day, believe that Cruz would be more reliable on this pick.
00:33:22.680So 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.
00:41:48.980She has just introduced fake news and alternative facts to claim that anyone, again, Ginsburg.
00:42:02.840I couldn't disagree with Ginsburg more than I do.
00:42:08.440However, Justice Scalia showed us that she must be a good woman because he was good friends with her.
00:42:17.200So 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.
00:42:46.820I think we could have a lot of people.
00:42:49.120You want some people that are on the fringe of legal thought?
00:42:55.060We could get our former science czar who said that he wanted to literally put sterilants in drinking water back in the 70s.
00:43:05.580That, I think, is on the fringe of legal thought.
00:43:09.320But 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.
00:43:26.920It may not be current, but it is what made America the place that everyone runs to.
00:43:33.840And 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.
00:44:43.400If 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.
00:44:59.960Yeah, and I don't ascribe to the Ayn Rand theory, but in this particular case, it works.
00:45:08.000To 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.
00:45:21.420Why do we have to hate each other like this?
00:45:29.280I am convinced that—I've said this before.
00:45:34.900You 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.
00:45:56.320I'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.
00:46:16.300I 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?
00:46:30.380I'm still—I still have health impact because of the breaking of fluorescent light bulbs.
00:46:34.260I know you do. Well, good luck on that.
00:46:52.500And 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,
00:47:09.560well, I've got all the levers, I'm just going to use it for what I want, and you've got a dictator.
00:47:14.940I 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.
00:47:31.720I'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.
00:47:40.400And that spreads, and all of a sudden, they don't have power because they can't make you hate.
00:47:46.120Look at what the ACLU—look at what happened over the weekend.
00:47:50.020This 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.
00:48:35.640I don't know why—I don't know how we get past this, but we have to get past this.
00:48:43.060And 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.
00:48:58.520I would hope that we wouldn't say the things that they are going to say about Gorsuch.
00:49:06.500I hope that they don't do what they did last time to Clarence Thomas, where they made him into a predator in the office.
00:50:21.720We know you, and we know that's not what you're saying.
00:50:23.760100 percent, I've talked to you for 20 years.
00:50:26.140I 100 percent know that you want constitutionalists on the Supreme Court.
00:50:30.380You don't necessarily have to agree with every single issue, but, you know, the Constitution is a principle.
00:50:37.580And it's something that I know you are lockstep, you are 100 percent supportive of, and you want that.
00:50:44.680When 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.
00:50:55.380I know if there was one conservative left, I would have to go that way.
00:50:58.540Let me—because I've got to take a quick break.
00:51:00.320Let me cut to the chase, because I think I know how I can explain this to make sense.
00:51:03.300Penn Jillette would not be a Supreme Court justice that a lot on the right would love.
00:51:36.980But I believe he would be a strict constitutionalist and go right down the line of the Constitution.
00:51:44.760But he's not going to appeal to my friends.
00:51:48.180I would not fight a Penn Jillette as long as he is going by the Constitution.
00:51:54.300What we're doing right now is we're saying they don't agree with our lifestyle.
00:51:59.500They 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.
00:52:08.960Well, okay, I don't have to agree with all the things you want to push through.
00:52:13.560I have to agree that it's constitutional or not.
00:52:17.560If all the things you want to push through are not constitutional, sucks to be you.
00:52:23.420But 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.
00:52:33.960And I think it's important that we have people of radically different views just not on the Constitution in the Supreme Court.
00:53:01.300And 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.
00:53:13.840I would not want to sell my soul to stop it.
00:53:19.720I 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.
00:53:35.480But I would expect, and I would fight against it, but I would expect that Barack Obama would have replaced a Ginsburg with another Ginsburg.
00:53:45.800And 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.
00:57:20.200And, 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.
00:57:30.520They were debating NAFTA back in the day.
00:57:33.400It's the highest rated show that ever aired on CNN, I believe.
00:57:36.980At least that's what it used to say in the hallways when we worked there.
00:57:39.540They showed all the biggest shows they ever had.
00:59:57.620Tonight, we open up the vault with David Barton.
01:00:00.620A lot of people have been asking to bring back Founding Fridays or things like that onto the blaze.
01:00:06.860We have David Barton in a series that begins tonight on the vault.
01:00:10.240We open it up and we look at black history.
01:00:12.900We're doing Black History Month this month in a way that nobody else is doing black history.
01:00:19.400Tonight, black history that I can guarantee you, if you're black or your black friends have never heard.
01:00:29.460And there are stories that I have not heard.
01:00:34.180And the evidence in the vault that these people existed and what we're telling you is true.
01:00:40.920Also, 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.
01:00:53.880There are a couple of stories that we're going to tell you that I can guarantee you didn't know.
01:02:43.360Listen to this student asking Nancy Pelosi a question.
01:02:47.120People 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.
01:02:56.960And that's not me asking you to make a radical statement about capitalism.
01:03:00.540But I'm just telling you that my experience is that the younger generation is moving left on economic issues.
01:03:06.940And I've been so excited to see how Democrats have moved left on social issues.
01:03:11.500As 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.
01:03:19.500But 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.
01:05:08.000Of course, they're not capitalists in the first place.
01:05:11.100No, I don't think, very few people are capitalists.
01:05:14.260But certainly not the Democrats today.
01:05:16.140Quite 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.
01:05:31.000And that is truly the problem, is we have made capitalism into crony capitalism.
01:05:39.480And, 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.
01:05:49.080But I think I finally solved this in my head.
01:05:50.640I'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.
01:06:10.980They could manipulate the system because there's no difference between those guys and what George Soros is doing.
01:06:19.520He's using his money to buy access and manipulate the system.
01:08:17.720So 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.
01:09:03.300Rockefeller, selfishly—now think of this—selfishly didn't want his home to be so close to slums.
01:09:10.880So 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.
01:10:04.720For 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.
01:10:19.760Rockefeller 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.
01:10:33.080And so you see those two buildings on each side.
01:10:51.540The 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.
01:11:24.080I 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.
01:11:34.000And that family said, this is what my grandfather built, this is what my father ran, and I will run it again.
01:12:03.760The attorney went back to Rockefeller, took his coat off, and he said, couldn't get it done.
01:12:10.220Rockefeller said, put your coat back on.
01:12:13.200You go tell the architects, build around them.
01:12:17.380That 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.
01:12:38.080The Empire State Building was built, and nobody was moving their offices into the Empire State Building.
01:12:44.780They called it—it was the joke for a while—the empty state building.
01:13:04.340Every one of those buildings was sold out before they ever cut the ribbon.
01:13:09.000Every space in the Great Depression was filled because he muscled people, but he couldn't muscle the average American out of their own space.
01:13:24.820We'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.
01:13:37.760The cashless society is real, and I know this sounds crazy, but if you think about it, when's the last time you carried cash?
01:13:46.820When's the last time you bought anything with cash?
01:15:51.260Standing here in a house of history and acutely aware of my own imperfections,
01:15:56.920I 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.
01:16:14.780I 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.
01:16:25.660But the Constitution will not allow others to force you to follow somebody else.
01:16:32.020It allows them to live the life that they want as well.
01:16:35.720And that doesn't give control over anybody's life.
01:17:43.660And 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.
01:22:37.900You 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.
01:24:11.780Oh, 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.
01:24:40.000From the Daily Mail, an exclusive today.
01:24:43.460Uh, and by the way, if you want to hear our talk on Gorsuch, we, we just did two hours of it.
01:24:48.360And, 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.
01:24:56.160Um, all of it that you can possibly handle and more and some surprising things that we had to say.
01:25:01.160Um, from the Daily Mail, it was late in the evening on January 12th, 1967.
01:25:09.920Three men were laboring over the body of a psychology professor, James Bedford, who had just died from kidney cancer at the age of 72.
01:25:18.280But while the manner of Bedford's death in a bed in the hospital in Glendale, California was not unusual, what happened next certainly was.
01:25:27.080Bedford 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.
01:25:37.640Although 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.
01:25:51.200When we froze Bedford, man who, man had never been on the moon.
01:25:54.700There had never been a heart transplant.
01:25:58.540Now, Nelson, 80, said in an interview, they have all of the, uh, pictures of, of it happening at the time.
01:26:05.760Who knows what the next 50 years is going to bring?
01:26:08.780I think, um, there is hope that nanotechnology will bring him back, and it will exist sooner rather than later.
01:26:17.260It's about to be set into a film starring Paul Rudd, and will follow his life, blah, blah, blah.
01:26:22.460It 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
01:26:32.620after he ran out of money to service his California cryogenic vault and left their bodies to decompose.
01:26:39.880See, 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.
01:26:46.480I thought you, you had to do it, you know, while you were still breathing your last breath.
01:26:50.580And so I always thought, you know, what'll happen to me is they'll freeze me, and then it'll run out of money,
01:26:57.480and then I'll wake up trapped in this vault, and I'll be like, help, help.
01:27:01.480And then I'll have that feeling of being trapped in the coffin, and then I take my last breath from cancer.
01:27:07.300So it's never sounded appealing to me, but maybe that's just me.
01:27:11.560He talks, this article goes on, and it talks about how the first patients were done.
01:27:17.420Now listen to this, Bedford's journey began with an ice bath, followed by being stuffed into a styrofoam foam box,
01:38:04.520And so, once you start opening that portal, you get to ESPN on ESPN crime.
01:38:12.420Steele'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.
01:38:23.340It 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.
01:38:34.040She went on later on Twitter to defend herself.
01:39:46.200Does anybody understand that thinking?
01:39:48.060Well, 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.
01:39:58.000And I think their thought is if you really disrupt their day, you're going to have no choice but to think about their strife.
01:40:03.680I'm going to think about it in a bad way, though.
01:40:09.760Because 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.
01:41:24.220I 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.
01:41:48.060And, you know, Sage Steele, her background, her father was the first black player on Army's varsity team.
01:41:54.480And that's the life of privilege, her background, is the first.
01:41:58.920I mean, can you imagine going through that era?
01:42:01.100You're the first black player to ever play.
01:42:03.120He went through all sorts of racial stuff when he was younger.
01:42:07.100This is not a person who's coming and doesn't understand the strife of people who would deal with these situations.
01:42:12.120And 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.
01:42:28.200Obviously, 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.
01:42:47.220That'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.
01:43:00.840And so Uber got in trouble because they put out a quick tweet to everybody in the New York area.
01:43:07.800Uber available for rides to the airport and no price gouging, same low price.
01:43:14.760And so they got a lot of business and the left came out and said, how dare you support Donald Trump?
01:43:21.980How dare you work against the protesters?
01:43:25.920And so they folded immediately and said, no, no, we support, we're going to hire 10,000 of these refugees when they come in.
01:43:35.140And they weren't, they had no reason to apologize.
01:43:39.500They just felt that if you're not providing rides, we want you to know we will.
01:43:45.580Well, 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.
01:43:59.240They think it's going to be good, but it ends in misery.
01:44:02.720They think these protests are going to be good.
01:44:05.040But how many people were miserable because of that?
01:45:09.540I mean, I think that might be part of it.
01:45:10.820But, 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.
01:45:25.980And, 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.
01:48:05.680So, and the last, let me give you last year.
01:48:09.140Tax identity thieves cost the taxpayers $4.1 billion.
01:48:15.660So, our government paid out $4.1 billion to tax identity thieves.
01:48:22.800People who had gone fishing with a PH and tried to get your social security number, pretended maybe that they were your bank, they grab your ID, they beat you to the IRS filing, and they get your tax refund.
01:48:49.180The people that can help you, now, nobody can stop all identity theft or monitor all transactions, but LifeLock is the best in the business.
01:48:58.400They take protecting your identity seriously.

01:49:46.660And 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.
01:50:10.320And so far, part one, he has done and has kept his word.
01:50:14.580Now, let's see if he holds true to it all the way.
01:50:45.420Again, you just try to you try to maximize your chances for something like this to happen.
01:50:48.400It'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.
01:50:57.940I thought he was a great there was a great chance.
01:51:00.280And I think if he were to have won, he probably would have done something like this, too.
01:51:03.660So the best part is we both everyone who was in that primary and fought so hard, you're getting everybody here.
01:51:10.540And I didn't think it was going to happen with Trump, but he he proved us wrong on that.
01:52:47.780We're still going to judge each individual thing based on what we believe to be true with all the evidence to support that.
01:52:54.480And, you know, right now, I mean, Gorsuch is a good example.
01:52:57.420You know, a lot of people were saying, well, you know, you guys said he would never nominate a Supreme Court justice.
01:53:03.240Many of those same people said we would never say anything positive about Donald Trump.
01:53:06.760So both of us would be wrong on a day like today.
01:53:09.620And 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.
01:53:23.900That's the main reason I do it because I want to be able to sleep at night.
01:53:28.000I don't listen to these shows to be cheered on.
01:53:29.680I 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.
01:53:37.080And 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.
01:53:45.200They 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.
