The Glenn Beck Program - Sen. Mike Lee Is No Hypocrite ｜ Guests： Sen. Mike Lee, Ian Bremmer & Mark David Hall ｜ 1⧸9⧸20

00:00:00.000 All right, we've got a great show for you.

00:00:05.600 Mike Lee is going to be on.

00:00:07.960 And Mike Lee was, I think, as mad as I've ever seen him yesterday

00:00:14.100 after leaving a briefing from the White House.

00:00:16.680 And I think he's being misunderstood.

00:00:19.380 He is supporting the president.

00:00:21.740 And I think he's supporting, right?

00:00:25.440 I mean, it seems what happened with the, you know, Soleimani

00:00:31.680 and the way he's handled, I think he's okay with that.

00:00:36.800 You know, he doesn't like this process.

00:00:38.620 And the process does seem to be a little bit heavy-handed.

00:00:43.240 And I think he's more concerned, really, about future activities here.

00:00:46.640 Yeah, well, he doesn't seem to be on the table right this second.

00:00:49.160 He's been saying this under Obama and everybody else.

00:00:52.540 All right, back in just a minute.

00:00:55.440 Hang on just a second.

00:01:16.760 We have to hit something really important.

00:01:18.280 And I want you to hear it from her own mouth.

00:01:22.520 Elon Omar, can we play the audio, please?

00:01:25.200 Elon Omar is very upset.

00:01:28.060 She's having a hard time. 0.96

00:01:29.880 And I think we really need to address this.

00:01:32.540 Here's Elon Omar yesterday.

00:01:36.860 I feel ill a little bit because of everything that is taking place.

00:01:44.600 And I think every time I hear about, I hear of conversations around war, I find myself being stricken with PTSD.

00:01:56.560 Oof.

00:01:57.620 Every time she's stricken with PTSD.

00:02:00.980 Boy, maybe she should take some time off, you know? 0.99

00:02:06.840 Especially when we have a congressperson who is ill every time she hears about war.

00:02:14.940 War's part of the job, sweetheart. 0.98

00:02:16.400 Second, and I mean sweetheart, with all the love and respect that you deserve.

00:02:21.180 The other part of this is you're feeling sick because we went after a terrorist from Iran?

00:02:36.040 Well, we wish you a healthy recovery and all of the best and get well soon.

00:02:47.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:52.220 I'm anxious to talk to Mike Lee.

00:02:55.000 He was mad as hell yesterday.

00:02:57.620 And I think misconstrued, but I don't know for sure.

00:03:01.800 I haven't talked to him, so we're going to hear it from him.

00:03:05.460 A lot of people are angry at him.

00:03:08.120 He's coming up in just a few minutes.

00:03:09.700 I want to talk to you about our sponsor for one minute, then right back to the show.

00:03:14.040 It's Relief Factor.

00:03:15.520 Tom is from Texas.

00:03:17.140 And in Texas, well, Texans are a little different.

00:03:21.180 It's a different variety of a man.

00:03:23.440 Tom is 85, and he still rides his bicycle, works at a small aircraft company.

00:03:29.840 He's a flight instructor.

00:03:31.560 I mean, he's still going to town.

00:03:34.060 The only parts of Tom that were aware he was getting older was his lower back and his left hip.

00:03:39.520 And over the past few years, it started giving him no end to grief.

00:03:43.360 He was finding it harder and harder to do the things that he loved,

00:03:46.340 and he was worried that soon he wouldn't be able to do any of them.

00:03:49.380 That's when he discovered Relief Factor.

00:03:51.840 Shortly after he started taking it, the back and hip pain went away,

00:03:55.460 and it stayed away almost entirely ever since.

00:03:59.440 When taken properly, Relief Factor attacks the inflammation that causes much of our pain.

00:04:04.940 It works for 70% of the people who take it,

00:04:07.180 and it only costs $19.95 to start with their three-week quick start trial.

00:04:11.720 If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back,

00:04:15.880 go to relieffactor.com.

00:04:17.540 That's relieffactor.com.

00:04:19.940 So I really want to understand where Mike Lee is coming from.

00:04:39.600 He's joining us in about 20 minutes.

00:04:41.480 Here's what he said at a press conference yesterday,

00:04:43.960 and this is about as animated and angry as I've ever seen Mike Lee.

00:04:48.680 The briefing lasted only 75 minutes, whereupon our briefers left.

00:04:53.360 This, however, is not the biggest problem I have with the briefing,

00:04:57.580 which I would add was probably the worst briefing I've seen,

00:05:01.600 at least on a military issue, in the nine years I've served in the United States Senate.

00:05:07.100 What I found so distressing about that briefing

00:05:09.900 was that one of the messages we received from the briefers

00:05:13.840 was do not debate, do not discuss the issue of the appropriateness

00:05:19.500 of further military intervention against Iran.

00:05:23.840 And that if you do, you'll be emboldening Iran. 0.94

00:05:27.200 The implication being that we would somehow be making America less safe

00:05:30.380 by having a debate or a discussion.

00:05:32.580 It is not acceptable for officials within the executive branch of government,

00:05:37.520 I don't care whether they're with the CIA, with the Department of Defense,

00:05:40.460 or otherwise, to come in and tell us that we can't debate

00:05:44.000 and discuss the appropriateness of military intervention against Iran.

00:05:48.420 It's un-American. 0.82

00:05:49.780 It's unconstitutional.

00:05:51.100 And it's wrong.

00:05:51.800 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:05:56.400 They're both right.

00:05:58.380 They're both right.

00:05:59.780 The White House saying,

00:06:01.900 please, don't debate this.

00:06:04.680 Don't take this because you will embolden Iran. 0.76

00:06:08.400 By having a Congress or a Senate

00:06:12.200 and people on the right especially saying,

00:06:17.880 well, I don't know if we should do this,

00:06:19.640 it will embolden Iran 1.00

00:06:21.880 because they will see that as,

00:06:24.020 oh, he can't hold this together.

00:06:25.640 However,

00:06:26.660 where Mike Lee is right is,

00:06:29.860 that's our system.

00:06:32.180 That's what we do.

00:06:34.180 That's what we have to do.

00:06:35.840 And that's what the Senate

00:06:37.580 and the Congress is for.

00:06:40.860 The president can make a move towards a war.

00:06:44.720 He can make a move towards the war,

00:06:47.000 according to the Constitution,

00:06:48.100 for 30 days.

00:06:50.280 But in that 30 days,

00:06:52.260 he's got to go and get a War Powers Act

00:06:55.620 to continue it

00:06:56.880 because they hold the funding.

00:06:59.500 And so they can just shut everything off.

00:07:02.060 Now, we haven't done a War Powers Act

00:07:04.400 since 1942.

00:07:08.640 All of the other wars,

00:07:10.560 always War Powers Act.

00:07:12.600 But then we hit the Progressive Era

00:07:16.120 and the Progressive Era said,

00:07:17.940 you don't need that

00:07:18.860 because we're not really going to do war.

00:07:21.380 We're going to do police actions.

00:07:23.600 And that's really the problem

00:07:25.640 because without a war,

00:07:27.480 it can drift.

00:07:29.400 You don't,

00:07:29.700 what is our,

00:07:30.600 what is our goal?

00:07:32.520 What's our goal right now in Iraq?

00:07:34.500 Do we know?

00:07:35.820 What's our goal in Afghanistan?

00:07:38.600 Do you know?

00:07:39.180 When does this war end?

00:07:41.920 These are all criticisms

00:07:42.660 that Donald Trump has made.

00:07:44.620 Correct.

00:07:45.120 Right?

00:07:45.460 Of this war.

00:07:46.760 Correct.

00:07:47.140 Many, many times.

00:07:48.260 Correct.

00:07:48.760 And, you know,

00:07:49.200 Lee started off the press conference

00:07:50.960 talking about his support for Trump

00:07:52.580 and he votes with him most of the time.

00:07:54.800 And seemingly he supports the idea

00:07:57.360 of taking this terrorist out.

00:08:00.460 And we'll ask him that directly

00:08:01.520 coming up here in a few minutes.

00:08:03.460 But, you know,

00:08:04.200 the process is important too.

00:08:06.240 And if you're looking for potential approval

00:08:09.000 of future military action in Iran,

00:08:12.940 well, you need to make that case

00:08:14.120 in confidence, right?

00:08:15.480 I mean, like you need to make that case

00:08:17.000 in at least in classified settings

00:08:20.740 to senators.

00:08:22.300 And, you know, that is,

00:08:23.980 you know, I think Pence came out today

00:08:25.320 and said,

00:08:25.840 well, we didn't really give him

00:08:26.880 all the intelligence

00:08:27.560 because the really good stuff,

00:08:28.820 we were worried about it,

00:08:29.920 you know,

00:08:30.980 whether it would compromise

00:08:32.000 future actions.

00:08:32.920 It's like, well, I mean,

00:08:33.940 that's obviously what a classified

00:08:35.180 setting is for.

00:08:36.700 So at some level

00:08:38.100 that has to be done eventually.

00:08:40.240 But that, you know...

00:08:41.340 The administration cannot hold

00:08:43.720 information back from Congress.

00:08:46.340 It's an equal branch.

00:08:48.520 And so if...

00:08:49.440 If anything, it's superior.

00:08:50.680 I mean, you know,

00:08:51.520 you know, because...

00:08:52.900 Well, I mean,

00:08:54.220 if the president wants to get rid

00:08:55.500 of the weakest congressperson

00:08:57.460 from some small town in New York,

00:08:59.000 how does he do it?

00:09:00.020 He doesn't.

00:09:00.400 If a small-time congressman

00:09:03.620 from New York

00:09:04.140 wants to get rid of the president,

00:09:05.240 he's got power to do that

00:09:06.320 if Congress comes together

00:09:07.900 and impeaches him

00:09:08.520 and throws him out of office.

00:09:09.920 So, I mean, you know,

00:09:10.740 if anything, Congress has...

00:09:12.080 And with war, as you point out,

00:09:14.200 I mean, Congress has the power

00:09:16.080 to declare war.

00:09:18.120 So it is a...

00:09:19.580 It is an interesting part

00:09:21.840 of this whole back and forth

00:09:24.420 that we have to make sure,

00:09:26.800 just like we should always do,

00:09:29.200 as being, you know,

00:09:31.020 diligent to support

00:09:32.100 the actual system

00:09:34.140 that has checks and balances

00:09:35.860 against these problems

00:09:38.800 because we realize

00:09:39.700 they do lead to problems.

00:09:40.720 This is the 100-year-old debate

00:09:43.600 with progressives,

00:09:45.540 and that is times have changed

00:09:47.800 and things have moved so fast now

00:09:51.500 that we can't wait for Congress.

00:09:55.160 We can't wait for these things.

00:09:56.620 That's why the progressives

00:09:59.460 liked fascism

00:10:01.100 before fascism, you know,

00:10:02.700 ended up killing 0.62

00:10:03.380 and murdering people. 0.78

00:10:05.120 So, strangely, 0.95

00:10:06.000 they still like the other

00:10:07.380 fascist regime of communism.

00:10:11.440 So that's, you know,

00:10:13.220 that's a bizarre thing.

00:10:14.780 But that's why they originally

00:10:16.800 embraced both communism

00:10:18.200 and fascism

00:10:19.640 because it allowed a dictator,

00:10:22.340 which didn't have a bad ring to it,

00:10:25.340 around the time of the First

00:10:27.100 and Second World War.

00:10:29.560 People didn't think

00:10:30.640 a dictator was a bad thing,

00:10:32.240 an authoritarian.

00:10:33.300 He was just in charge

00:10:34.660 and he would make the decisions

00:10:35.900 and we can make them faster

00:10:37.200 because science is involved now.

00:10:39.780 And, you know,

00:10:40.880 now communication,

00:10:41.960 it just happens so fast,

00:10:44.060 we just have to have somebody

00:10:45.660 be able to make this decision.

00:10:47.960 Well, no.

00:10:48.580 No.

00:10:49.560 No.

00:10:50.840 As clunky and as awful as it is,

00:10:53.960 we've got to go through Congress.

00:10:55.980 Now, that has nothing to do,

00:10:58.340 in my opinion,

00:10:59.380 with whether or not

00:11:00.420 we hit this guy.

00:11:02.020 The law is very clear.

00:11:04.420 When we went into Iraq,

00:11:06.220 the president has a right,

00:11:07.640 the military has a right, 0.97

00:11:08.880 to kill people in Iraq 0.99

00:11:10.880 that are killing our soldiers. 0.98

00:11:14.240 You have the evidence,

00:11:15.700 you know who this guy is,

00:11:17.640 we've known about him

00:11:18.540 for a long time, 0.82

00:11:19.920 he's been killing our soldiers.

00:11:22.160 So, they had the authorization

00:11:23.920 to do that.

00:11:25.400 It was clear.

00:11:26.840 Now, did Obama have the authorization 0.91

00:11:29.540 to go in and kill

00:11:32.800 Muammar Gaddafi?

00:11:36.060 Because we went in

00:11:37.160 and destabilized an entire country,

00:11:39.700 we overthrew that country,

00:11:42.400 we supported people

00:11:44.160 dragging him in the streets

00:11:45.800 to his death.

00:11:47.300 Then Hillary Clinton celebrated,

00:11:49.240 and then the press said

00:11:50.360 it was no big deal

00:11:51.420 when our consulate was taken

00:11:53.600 and our ambassador was killed.

00:11:57.020 I mean, think of that.

00:11:59.040 Think of that.

00:11:59.800 All of the repercussions

00:12:00.940 that we're talking about.

00:12:02.940 You know, I said yesterday,

00:12:04.280 I don't believe this is over.

00:12:06.880 And last night,

00:12:08.120 the militias that are backed by Iran

00:12:11.100 tried to lob some missiles

00:12:13.140 over into our embassy.

00:12:15.500 Okay?

00:12:16.180 No harm was done,

00:12:17.980 but that's what they did.

00:12:19.560 And I told you yesterday,

00:12:20.540 this could turn ugly quickly

00:12:23.300 in some other place

00:12:25.760 because I don't believe

00:12:27.240 that the military of Iran

00:12:29.040 is going to do any more strikes.

00:12:30.740 I think they're going to have

00:12:31.900 these militias

00:12:32.900 or the surrogates,

00:12:35.320 if you will,

00:12:35.880 of Iran

00:12:36.500 who are all over the world

00:12:38.780 kidnap an ambassador, 0.98

00:12:40.800 kill an ambassador, 1.00

00:12:41.860 kill somebody, 1.00

00:12:43.340 blow up an embassy. 1.00

00:12:45.920 Well,

00:12:47.300 the press didn't think

00:12:48.740 that that was a problem

00:12:49.820 with Benghazi.

00:12:52.080 They didn't think

00:12:52.900 that was a problem.

00:12:53.600 They didn't think

00:12:54.360 overthrowing a president,

00:12:56.900 a leader of a country,

00:12:58.620 and then cheering

00:13:00.080 while his body

00:13:01.060 is being dragged

00:13:01.920 in the streets.

00:13:02.700 I mean,

00:13:02.880 I have no love for Gaddafi,

00:13:04.140 but where was the authorization

00:13:06.360 for that?

00:13:09.420 And quite honestly,

00:13:10.620 that's the kind of stuff

00:13:11.920 that Congress does need

00:13:14.260 to be able

00:13:15.380 to reel back in.

00:13:17.200 Did you vote

00:13:18.060 to go to Yemen?

00:13:19.220 Because we're in Yemen.

00:13:22.440 We're fighting a war

00:13:23.820 in Yemen.

00:13:24.580 I don't know anything

00:13:25.540 about it.

00:13:26.940 I mean,

00:13:27.260 I do,

00:13:27.820 but as an average person,

00:13:29.700 you don't.

00:13:32.320 Do you want that?

00:13:34.140 So this isn't

00:13:35.860 about Donald Trump.

00:13:37.060 This is about

00:13:37.700 any of these presidents.

00:13:40.080 All of these presidents.

00:13:41.520 I give the president

00:13:42.900 the benefit of the doubt,

00:13:44.700 and we have to have

00:13:45.940 somebody that can

00:13:46.860 respond quickly.

00:13:48.180 But you have 30 days

00:13:49.920 to get a war 0.78

00:13:51.260 authorization act

00:13:52.640 from Congress.

00:13:53.720 Now,

00:13:54.120 the problem is,

00:13:55.180 is Congress

00:13:55.820 is so politicized

00:13:57.540 that I don't even know

00:13:59.680 if you can

00:14:00.600 get a fair ruling

00:14:04.160 from Congress

00:14:05.100 on an act of war.

00:14:06.360 They're practically

00:14:07.460 cheering

00:14:08.280 the other side.

00:14:11.160 They've made

00:14:12.140 martyrs

00:14:13.360 out of these 0.95

00:14:14.120 horrible monsters 0.92

00:14:15.440 and made

00:14:17.180 our military

00:14:18.000 and our president 0.86

00:14:19.200 into a monster 1.00

00:14:21.200 for killing 0.99

00:14:22.560 a monster. 1.00

00:14:23.220 I mean,

00:14:26.100 the hatred

00:14:26.800 of Donald Trump

00:14:27.640 is so deep now

00:14:29.040 in the Senate

00:14:29.760 and in the House

00:14:30.700 that I don't know

00:14:32.020 if you could

00:14:32.760 get,

00:14:33.260 you know,

00:14:34.000 a declaration of war

00:14:35.180 on Japan

00:14:36.060 in 1942.

00:14:39.620 And by the way,

00:14:40.820 don't give me 0.99

00:14:42.020 all of the crap 1.00

00:14:42.760 about Japan 1.00

00:14:44.020 or that Iran

00:14:46.040 is.

00:14:46.360 We're just going to

00:14:46.840 get a bunch of people

00:14:47.620 who just hate us.

00:14:48.940 Look at what happened

00:14:49.620 with Japan.

00:14:50.060 we turned

00:14:52.460 their soil

00:14:53.300 into glass

00:14:54.540 twice.

00:14:56.640 Twice.

00:14:58.840 And Japan

00:15:00.520 is one of our

00:15:01.220 best friends.

00:15:03.720 I mean,

00:15:04.560 the main justification

00:15:05.720 for the big problems

00:15:07.640 in Iran

00:15:08.140 is that

00:15:08.940 Iran and Iraq

00:15:10.280 are going to work together.

00:15:12.020 That did not seem

00:15:13.100 like familiar territory

00:15:14.380 to anyone

00:15:14.940 who's grown up

00:15:15.720 over the past

00:15:16.340 30 or 40 years.

00:15:18.060 I mean,

00:15:18.220 that war was

00:15:19.100 known to be

00:15:20.820 between Iran

00:15:21.820 and Iraq.

00:15:22.220 One of the most

00:15:22.580 brutal that's happened

00:15:23.620 in the past century.

00:15:25.380 Right?

00:15:25.900 And here it is.

00:15:27.020 Now we're like,

00:15:27.660 oh gosh,

00:15:28.020 they might be,

00:15:28.440 they might work together.

00:15:29.380 Because we didn't

00:15:31.060 stop them

00:15:32.060 from bleeding over

00:15:33.380 and then we allowed

00:15:34.780 them to help

00:15:35.480 with ISIS

00:15:36.000 and they have

00:15:37.340 packed the

00:15:38.260 parliament

00:15:39.120 with Shia people.

00:15:41.140 So about,

00:15:41.620 that's the big,

00:15:42.140 yeah.

00:15:42.340 Yeah.

00:15:42.640 So you've got

00:15:43.520 the parliament

00:15:44.140 and that means

00:15:45.340 about half of the people.

00:15:46.400 This would be like,

00:15:47.680 you know,

00:15:47.960 the United States

00:15:48.740 government,

00:15:49.440 you know,

00:15:50.060 we reelect,

00:15:51.060 we put

00:15:51.980 Bernie Sanders in

00:15:54.360 and he aligns us

00:15:56.420 not with the NATO powers,

00:15:58.200 but he aligns us

00:15:59.180 with Venezuela

00:16:00.000 and Cuba.

00:16:02.060 Okay,

00:16:02.640 well,

00:16:02.840 the president

00:16:03.300 can do that

00:16:04.200 and you'd see

00:16:05.780 a lot of people

00:16:06.400 on the streets

00:16:07.240 cheering about it,

00:16:08.320 but half of the country

00:16:09.920 would say,

00:16:11.100 that's not me.

00:16:12.360 And that's what's

00:16:15.700 happening right now

00:16:17.060 in Iraq.

00:16:20.880 Mike Lee coming up

00:16:22.040 in just a second.

00:16:23.760 This show is,

00:16:24.920 is not for the timid

00:16:26.620 and not for those

00:16:27.960 who want to question

00:16:29.180 intellectually everything.

00:16:31.520 All right.

00:16:32.420 When you are down

00:16:33.440 in the trenches

00:16:33.960 and the bullets

00:16:34.760 are whizzing by overhead,

00:16:36.320 constantly mortar shells

00:16:37.680 exploding left and right,

00:16:39.060 how do you think

00:16:41.740 you're going to

00:16:42.220 want to raise your head

00:16:43.540 to see what's going on?

00:16:45.260 Because I'm not.

00:16:47.380 In a way,

00:16:48.080 that's exactly

00:16:48.680 what you're doing

00:16:49.280 every time you're

00:16:49.940 on an unsecured

00:16:50.920 Wi-Fi network,

00:16:52.020 even if it says

00:16:52.840 this is your password.

00:16:55.200 This is why

00:16:56.000 you need Norton 360.

00:16:57.800 With Norton 360,

00:16:59.420 you're getting layers

00:17:12.460 And their password

00:17:14.700 is,

00:17:15.760 it easily secures

00:17:17.200 and creates

00:17:22.200 information,

00:17:23.140 all your credentials.

00:17:33.720 Now,

00:17:33.920 nobody can prevent

00:17:34.640 all of this stuff

00:17:35.260 from happening,

00:17:59.620 Station ID.

00:18:00.100 All right you then.

00:18:16.640 Welcome to the program.

00:18:18.480 Hello, Stu.

00:18:19.720 Mr. Beck,

00:18:20.180 how are you?

00:18:20.700 Well,

00:18:21.440 I'm a little upset

00:18:22.400 about Meghan Markle

00:18:24.280 and Prince Harry.

00:18:25.880 I don't know what to do.

00:18:27.280 You're oddly interested

00:18:28.360 in that story.

00:18:29.060 I am because of tradition,

00:18:30.700 because of history.

00:18:31.520 I think history

00:18:32.100 is about to change.

00:18:33.420 I think when

00:18:34.040 the queen dies,

00:18:35.600 I think the royal family

00:18:37.240 is probably over.

00:18:39.580 And that might be

00:18:40.180 a good thing,

00:18:40.980 but I just,

00:18:41.900 you know,

00:18:42.360 I'm a conservative.

00:18:45.440 I like to conserve

00:18:46.300 the best parts

00:18:47.480 of things

00:18:49.040 and get rid of the,

00:18:50.220 there's not a,

00:18:51.120 there's not any argument

00:18:52.780 for me at least

00:18:53.480 to conserve the monarchy.

00:18:55.440 Like let it go away forever.

00:18:57.500 Yeah,

00:18:57.900 I mean,

00:18:58.160 because it's not my country,

00:18:59.960 I can,

00:19:00.560 I don't care about

00:19:01.120 what they spend.

00:19:02.340 You know what I mean?

00:19:03.000 No.

00:19:03.180 Like,

00:19:03.740 oh,

00:19:04.080 well,

00:19:04.340 you're spending,

00:19:05.200 wow,

00:19:05.540 $3 million for that wedding.

00:19:07.220 Oh,

00:19:07.460 and $3 million

00:19:08.380 to remodel their house.

00:19:11.660 Oh,

00:19:12.100 wow.

00:19:12.540 Okay.

00:19:13.460 I don't really care.

00:19:15.020 I mean,

00:19:15.260 if I was over there,

00:19:16.080 I'd be absolutely

00:19:16.880 against this monarchy.

00:19:18.280 Yeah,

00:19:18.460 I would want

00:19:19.000 the whole thing gone though,

00:19:20.200 but their actions,

00:19:21.520 I don't know how,

00:19:22.660 like to me,

00:19:23.140 it's just a,

00:19:23.560 well,

00:19:23.880 we have a giant sinkhole

00:19:25.700 of money

00:19:26.160 that we're going to throw,

00:19:27.420 we're going to throw

00:19:27.800 a bunch of money

00:19:28.360 into a pit every year

00:19:29.540 so we can say

00:19:30.140 we have a queen,

00:19:31.180 right?

00:19:31.440 Like that's essentially

00:19:32.260 the entire part of this.

00:19:33.820 Like none of,

00:19:34.320 it doesn't mean anything anymore.

00:19:36.700 And I come at this

00:19:37.580 as a person

00:19:38.000 who watched

00:19:38.400 every single episode

00:19:39.860 of Suits.

00:19:41.760 I love Suits.

00:19:43.040 It's like my favorite show

00:19:43.960 and Meghan Markle

00:19:45.040 was on Suits

00:19:45.720 and I still don't really care

00:19:47.280 about what she's doing

00:19:47.940 right now.

00:19:49.780 Well,

00:19:50.320 okay.

00:19:51.020 I mean,

00:19:51.420 that's,

00:19:52.180 I agree with that.

00:19:52.720 That's a high bar.

00:19:53.580 That's a high bar.

00:19:54.920 It's hard to pass.

00:19:56.680 I've watched every episode

00:19:58.060 of The Crown.

00:19:59.380 Ah,

00:20:00.060 see,

00:20:00.520 this is what happened.

00:20:01.380 Yeah,

00:20:01.560 this is what happened.

00:20:02.220 I actually like Elizabeth a lot.

00:20:04.300 I hate the rest of the family

00:20:05.460 but I like Queen Elizabeth a lot.

00:20:07.720 I think she's an amazing woman

00:20:09.340 who's done an amazing thing.

00:20:12.340 I mean,

00:20:12.740 think of this.

00:20:13.600 She is a,

00:20:14.320 the longest running monarch

00:20:15.320 in all of English history

00:20:17.560 and she has weathered this.

00:20:21.560 I mean,

00:20:21.800 when she grew up,

00:20:22.800 people in England

00:20:23.920 and the upper class

00:20:25.440 were still dressing

00:20:26.160 for dinner.

00:20:27.600 You know,

00:20:28.340 now everybody's going

00:20:29.120 to McDonald's

00:20:29.800 in the upper class,

00:20:30.800 you know,

00:20:31.320 and she's weathered

00:20:33.200 this storm

00:20:33.780 and hasn't been chased out

00:20:35.680 on a rail

00:20:36.280 or people screaming

00:20:37.260 for their heads

00:20:38.040 or a bloody revolution. 0.94

00:20:40.020 She's remarkable

00:20:41.180 on what she's done

00:20:42.320 and maybe the time

00:20:43.660 for monarchies are over

00:20:45.140 and I think so.

00:20:46.020 I like it as a tourist.

00:20:48.180 Right.

00:20:48.860 You know what I mean?

00:20:49.380 I like it just to...

00:20:50.920 We like it like we,

00:20:51.900 hey,

00:20:52.240 I want to make the guard

00:20:53.480 laugh at Buckingham Palace.

00:20:55.520 Yeah.

00:20:55.620 That's the level of interest

00:20:56.940 that we have.

00:20:57.440 Exactly right.

00:20:58.420 I mean,

00:20:58.660 I just...

00:20:59.460 So does Buckingham Palace

00:21:01.680 go away

00:21:02.440 and then we can't

00:21:04.000 make faces at the guard?

00:21:06.020 What happens

00:21:06.520 when she dies?

00:21:07.300 I'm pretty sure

00:21:07.720 it turns into a mall

00:21:08.640 and they throw a Cinnabon inside,

00:21:09.960 which is...

00:21:10.500 It improves almost any building.

00:21:11.520 Yeah, right.

00:21:12.040 But the problem is

00:21:13.520 I just don't...

00:21:16.920 When you see...

00:21:18.320 I'm really torn on this

00:21:19.760 because you got Prince Charles

00:21:22.340 who looks like he's going to be

00:21:23.680 actually getting the crown,

00:21:24.960 which is crazy.

00:21:27.660 Camilla.

00:21:28.520 Nobody likes the two of them.

00:21:30.240 Then you have Andrew

00:21:31.200 with Epstein.

00:21:33.000 I mean,

00:21:33.440 there's nobody like him.

00:21:35.080 I feel like Andrew,

00:21:35.900 he couldn't even get

00:21:36.400 a birthday party put through.

00:21:38.260 Right.

00:21:38.740 I don't think he's getting...

00:21:40.080 So then you have

00:21:41.300 I don't know.

00:21:42.620 The older one

00:21:43.220 who's not Harry.

00:21:45.360 What's his name?

00:21:45.920 You mean physically

00:21:46.300 or you mean name-wise?

00:21:47.460 Name-wise.

00:21:48.360 And maybe physically too.

00:21:49.500 I don't know.

00:21:49.940 But he's not Harry.

00:21:51.040 The hairless one.

00:21:51.700 Yeah, the hairless one

00:21:52.960 is he's after Charles.

00:21:56.440 Well,

00:21:57.260 Markle has broken up

00:21:58.560 their relationship.

00:21:59.680 I mean,

00:21:59.880 the two brothers

00:22:00.660 of Princess Diana,

00:22:03.140 you know,

00:22:03.640 are the two sons.

00:22:04.760 They're broken up.

00:22:05.940 Meghan Markle's

00:22:06.500 just finishing the job

00:22:07.500 we started back in 1776.

00:22:09.500 All right.

00:22:09.980 We're going to break that.

00:22:10.660 She really is.

00:22:11.220 She's almost like

00:22:12.500 an American colonial

00:22:14.640 coming in

00:22:15.280 and breaking

00:22:15.760 the whole thing up.

00:22:17.080 Get ready.

00:22:17.620 You let it happen,

00:22:18.640 Great Britain.

00:22:19.700 Yeah.

00:22:19.960 And I feel sorry for Harry

00:22:21.400 because nobody's noticing

00:22:22.680 that what he's seeing

00:22:23.900 is that his wife

00:22:25.200 is becoming his mother.

00:22:28.940 You're listening

00:22:29.800 to Glenn Beck.

00:22:31.640 I'll explain that.

00:22:32.620 If you're interested,

00:22:33.320 I'll explain it.

00:22:33.900 It's not like

00:22:34.320 what you think it is,

00:22:35.200 I think.

00:22:36.180 I told you the other day,

00:22:37.380 judge me by my language.

00:22:42.660 267 million Facebook users

00:22:44.200 had their names,

00:22:45.160 Facebook IDs,

00:22:46.340 even their phone numbers

00:22:47.780 exposed on an online database.

00:22:50.820 Now,

00:22:51.900 what are you going to do

00:22:53.060 about it?

00:22:54.220 I mean,

00:22:54.660 I tell you that

00:22:55.300 your name probably

00:22:56.200 is involved in that.

00:22:57.480 Your information.

00:22:58.560 What are you going to do?

00:22:59.940 Most of us just keep

00:23:00.900 rolling the dice

00:23:01.560 hoping that,

00:23:02.200 you know,

00:23:02.500 we're not the next people

00:23:04.020 to get victimized.

00:23:05.400 But you've got to pay attention.

00:23:08.220 Now,

00:23:08.600 I've got a million things

00:23:09.760 to do every day.

00:23:10.560 I don't have time

00:23:11.400 to track all this stuff down.

00:23:13.080 That's why you have LifeLock

00:23:14.580 because LifeLock

00:23:15.700 will detect a wide range

00:23:17.120 of identity threats.

00:23:18.220 Nobody can,

00:23:18.800 you know,

00:23:19.100 catch all of them.

00:23:20.620 But the things like

00:23:21.680 your social security number

00:23:22.800 and your identity

00:23:23.880 being on sale

00:24:37.260 But make your plans now

00:24:39.480 to join us for July 4th.

00:24:41.160 We have Senator Mike Lee

00:24:43.040 on the phone with us now

00:24:45.400 who is either loved

00:24:48.840 or hated by so many

00:24:50.720 and I think misunderstood

00:24:52.200 in this particular case.

00:24:55.100 Senator,

00:24:56.000 welcome to the program.

00:24:57.660 Thanks so much, Glenn.

00:24:58.400 Good to be with you as always.

00:24:59.600 So, Mike,

00:25:00.980 you are not

00:25:02.440 saying that the president

00:25:04.820 shouldn't have

00:25:06.140 gotten Soleimani

00:25:07.580 or that he hasn't

00:25:09.020 handled this right.

00:25:10.400 That's correct.

00:25:10.980 Right?

00:25:11.540 You're for that.

00:25:12.860 I have not spoken out

00:25:14.320 against the attack

00:25:15.300 on Soleimani.

00:25:17.000 What I am concerned about

00:25:18.720 is where we go from here.

00:25:20.400 Correct.

00:25:20.700 I want to make sure

00:25:21.840 that any subsequent

00:25:23.000 military action

00:25:23.960 against Iran 0.78

00:25:24.860 is carried out

00:25:26.180 only through

00:25:26.740 the constitutional formula

00:25:27.980 which is through

00:25:28.940 a declaration of war

00:25:30.040 or an authorization

00:25:31.580 for the use

00:25:32.320 of military force.

00:25:33.460 And this is something

00:25:34.100 I actually think

00:25:34.320 the president wants the same.

00:25:35.680 I think the president

00:25:36.220 wants to follow

00:25:36.780 the Constitution.

00:25:37.580 I commend the president.

00:25:38.560 I support the president.

00:25:39.540 This president has been

00:25:40.560 actually the most respectful

00:25:42.220 and the most restrained

00:25:43.960 in his use of military power

00:25:46.140 as commander-in-chief

00:25:47.260 more so than any other

00:25:50.220 president in my lifetime.

00:25:51.400 I agree with that.

00:25:51.980 And I respect him for that.

00:25:53.060 Unfortunately,

00:25:53.580 some of those around him

00:25:54.600 seem to be coming

00:25:57.420 from a slightly different place

00:25:59.060 and that worries me.

00:26:00.120 I was shocked

00:26:01.320 because I felt exactly

00:26:02.460 the same way

00:26:03.360 about President Trump.

00:26:04.800 I was really proud

00:26:06.220 of the way

00:26:06.800 he has restrained himself.

00:26:09.120 He, you know,

00:26:09.900 he didn't go

00:26:10.660 and lob missiles

00:26:11.900 after they took down

00:26:12.980 our drone.

00:26:13.580 You know,

00:26:14.600 they've captured

00:26:16.220 our sailors,

00:26:17.360 et cetera, et cetera.

00:26:18.240 And he really didn't

00:26:19.440 do any of the things

00:26:20.640 that I think

00:26:21.480 other presidents

00:26:22.740 would have done.

00:26:24.060 And yet he didn't

00:26:25.400 look weak.

00:26:26.920 And he just drew

00:26:28.800 the line of 0.99

00:26:29.760 you kill our people 0.99

00:26:31.360 and that's 1.00

00:26:32.560 a different story.

00:26:33.460 He drops the bomb.

00:26:35.600 This all goes

00:26:36.860 fairly well

00:26:37.760 as of today.

00:26:38.680 Goes fairly well.

00:26:40.400 But I was shocked,

00:26:42.040 Mike,

00:26:42.260 to hear on television

00:26:43.620 all of the people

00:26:45.340 from the right

00:26:46.480 that were saying

00:26:47.620 we got to bomb

00:26:48.700 their oil fields. 0.97

00:26:49.760 We've got to go

00:26:50.420 after them.

00:26:51.240 No, no, no, no.

00:26:52.940 We don't want that.

00:26:54.560 We don't want that

00:26:55.500 and President Trump

00:26:56.380 doesn't want that.

00:26:57.420 And look,

00:26:57.960 this is one

00:26:59.080 of the many reasons

00:27:00.260 I have endorsed

00:27:01.860 his re-election.

00:27:03.420 One of the reasons

00:27:03.900 why I'm the co-chair

00:27:04.680 of his re-election campaign

00:27:05.880 in my home state of Utah

00:27:07.040 is because I think

00:27:08.800 he has shown

00:27:09.420 tremendous restraint

00:27:10.480 as commander-in-chief.

00:27:11.460 And it's one

00:27:12.740 of the things

00:27:13.120 I love about him.

00:27:13.960 He wants desperately

00:27:14.960 to not get us involved

00:27:16.140 in unnecessary,

00:27:17.180 unconstitutional,

00:27:17.900 undeclared wars

00:27:18.740 throughout the world.

00:27:20.600 And so it worries me

00:27:21.960 when I see

00:27:22.520 some people around him

00:27:24.020 making arguments

00:27:25.680 that are consistent

00:27:26.460 with those

00:27:26.940 that have been made

00:27:27.520 over the course

00:27:28.060 of many decades

00:27:28.940 that have driven

00:27:30.140 a wedge between

00:27:30.840 the American people

00:27:31.840 and the war power.

00:27:33.320 The war power

00:27:33.800 is supposed to belong

00:27:34.660 in the people's branch,

00:27:36.320 which is Congress,

00:27:37.040 because it's the branch

00:27:37.740 of government

00:27:38.080 most accountable

00:27:38.700 to the people

00:27:39.180 at the most regular intervals.

00:27:40.360 Okay, now wait a minute.

00:27:41.700 I want to make sure

00:27:42.260 that we're talking

00:27:42.800 about the same thing

00:27:43.660 because it's my understanding

00:27:45.700 that the way the world works,

00:27:47.780 it is so fast.

00:27:49.000 And it's like this

00:27:50.560 in the Constitution.

00:27:51.760 The president has the right

00:27:54.260 to strike,

00:27:55.640 but then he's got to go

00:27:57.800 to Congress

00:27:58.700 within 30 days

00:28:00.040 and get a war powers

00:28:02.980 act passed

00:28:05.220 so we have a declaration

00:28:06.480 of war.

00:28:08.300 Otherwise,

00:28:09.060 all the military

00:28:09.860 have to come home

00:28:10.760 and everything else

00:28:11.700 because you hold the purse.

00:28:13.900 Yeah, that's right.

00:28:14.400 The president has

00:28:15.360 the power inherently

00:28:16.920 under Article 2

00:28:18.120 to order a strike

00:28:20.300 that is discreet

00:28:21.780 and that is necessary

00:28:23.180 in order to repel

00:28:24.560 an actual

00:28:25.500 or imminent attack.

00:28:27.820 But, you know,

00:28:28.940 further actions,

00:28:30.200 a sustained military effort,

00:28:31.900 something that would qualify

00:28:33.200 as an act of war,

00:28:34.720 does in fact require

00:28:36.200 congressional authorization

00:28:37.240 and that's what

00:28:38.960 they need to obtain.

00:28:40.560 So I think the president

00:28:41.520 agrees with me on that.

00:28:42.820 I just think some of those

00:28:43.860 surrounding him,

00:28:45.020 advising him

00:28:45.580 and advising Congress

00:28:46.580 on behalf of the executive branch

00:28:48.300 yesterday

00:28:48.680 are not adequately

00:28:50.080 taking that into account.

00:28:51.300 Yeah, I think the American people

00:28:52.720 need to be very careful

00:28:53.900 because we hear everything

00:28:55.200 in black and white now

00:28:56.360 and there are extremists

00:28:58.680 on both sides.

00:28:59.920 There are people

00:29:00.560 in Washington

00:29:02.100 that I hear

00:29:02.840 and I think

00:29:03.540 they are actually

00:29:04.500 their hatred

00:29:05.520 and their politics

00:29:06.620 against Trump

00:29:08.100 are so strong

00:29:09.960 it's almost like

00:29:11.160 they want us to lose.

00:29:13.200 They want us to,

00:29:15.320 I mean,

00:29:15.760 they're standing behind terrorists.

00:29:17.980 It's crazy.

00:29:19.060 And on the other side,

00:29:20.760 there are extremists

00:29:22.000 that want us

00:29:23.220 to go to war

00:29:24.220 with Iran.

00:29:25.700 I think the average

00:29:26.960 American person

00:29:28.080 is like,

00:29:28.840 look, 1.00

00:29:29.540 if you kill our people, 1.00

00:29:31.080 you hit them, 1.00

00:29:31.820 you hit them hard, 0.98

00:29:32.560 you move on

00:29:33.460 and we don't have

00:29:34.660 to go to war

00:29:35.460 with Iran.

00:29:36.100 It's not the right idea.

00:29:37.980 I think that's where

00:29:38.680 the average person is.

00:29:40.640 But the politics

00:29:41.820 in Washington,

00:29:43.020 which brings me

00:29:43.720 to this question,

00:29:45.920 how can,

00:29:47.020 you said yesterday,

00:29:49.340 which I completely

00:29:50.140 agree with you,

00:29:51.520 you said,

00:29:53.160 you know,

00:29:54.260 it's our,

00:29:54.860 we have to debate.

00:29:56.060 It's un-American. 0.82

00:29:56.980 And the people

00:29:58.580 that were advising Trump

00:30:00.400 and advising you

00:30:01.560 and informing you

00:30:03.040 on what was going on,

00:30:04.700 you said,

00:30:05.380 came in and said,

00:30:06.360 don't,

00:30:07.000 don't debate this

00:30:08.480 because it will empower Iran.

00:30:10.980 And I agree with them.

00:30:13.080 However,

00:30:13.440 I also agree with you

00:30:14.880 that that's your job.

00:30:16.300 You have to do that.

00:30:17.660 We're not a dictatorship.

00:30:19.360 We have to have

00:30:20.740 that debate.

00:30:22.240 However,

00:30:22.640 in this particular

00:30:23.920 time period,

00:30:25.840 do you really think,

00:30:27.600 Mike,

00:30:27.780 we could get

00:30:28.400 honest debate

00:30:29.360 on the floor?

00:30:30.340 I mean,

00:30:30.600 I'm not saying

00:30:31.160 we stop debate,

00:30:32.600 but I just don't think

00:30:33.780 that there's,

00:30:35.140 there's honest debate now.

00:30:37.080 Anything that

00:30:37.760 Donald Trump does.

00:30:39.360 Look,

00:30:39.920 we could

00:30:40.420 and we should

00:30:41.360 and under the

00:30:42.180 War Powers Act,

00:30:43.200 we can

00:30:43.740 and we must

00:30:44.520 have that debate.

00:30:45.940 The Constitution

00:30:46.480 requires us to have it.

00:30:47.800 And if we get,

00:30:48.720 ever get to the point

00:30:49.360 where we can get mired

00:30:50.340 into a global

00:30:51.540 conflict

00:30:52.120 or a war

00:30:53.080 of any kind

00:30:53.860 and Congress says,

00:30:55.480 oh,

00:30:55.560 we can't possibly

00:30:56.420 handle that,

00:30:57.240 then we've got

00:30:57.640 a major problem

00:30:58.360 with Congress.

00:30:59.240 I agree.

00:30:59.820 But look,

00:31:00.480 we do have

00:31:01.000 procedural mechanisms

00:31:02.000 through the

00:31:02.480 War Powers Act 0.55

00:31:03.100 to advance debate

00:31:04.240 on this issue.

00:31:05.260 There are some people

00:31:05.780 who are fond of saying,

00:31:06.620 well,

00:31:06.640 the War Powers Act

00:31:07.360 is unconstitutional.

00:31:08.580 Look,

00:31:08.860 the War Powers Act

00:31:09.560 doesn't fundamentally

00:31:10.540 change the balance

00:31:11.500 of power

00:31:11.860 between the executive branch

00:31:13.200 and the legislative branch.

00:31:14.400 All it does

00:31:14.840 is provide a schedule,

00:31:16.300 a timeline

00:31:16.820 by which members

00:31:17.660 of Congress

00:31:18.080 can advance

00:31:18.800 certain arguments

00:31:19.980 for an up-or-down vote

00:31:21.660 on signaling

00:31:23.200 our approval

00:31:24.040 or lack thereof

00:31:25.000 of a particular

00:31:25.980 military action.

00:31:27.060 That's exactly

00:31:27.700 what the Constitution

00:31:28.360 expects of us

00:31:29.140 and we should do it.

00:31:29.960 The problem is

00:31:33.120 people are hearing you today

00:31:34.920 and we're living

00:31:35.860 in such a black 0.99

00:31:36.580 and white world.

00:31:37.700 You were saying

00:31:38.420 this under Obama

00:31:39.380 and you were saying

00:31:40.980 this privately

00:31:42.080 about the War Powers Act

00:31:44.780 under Bush.

00:31:47.580 This is something

00:31:48.760 that is not about

00:31:50.700 Donald Trump.

00:31:51.680 You were leading

00:31:52.780 the fight

00:31:53.480 on Yemen.

00:31:56.640 We're in Yemen.

00:31:57.800 What are we doing

00:31:58.400 in Yemen?

00:31:59.100 Fighting a war.

00:32:00.400 Barack Obama

00:32:01.320 got us involved

00:32:02.140 in Yemen

00:32:02.580 through executive action

00:32:03.700 without bothering

00:32:04.360 to go to Congress.

00:32:05.580 That has continued

00:32:06.320 for several years

00:32:07.140 notwithstanding the fact

00:32:08.520 that it was never

00:32:08.960 declared by Congress,

00:32:10.280 notwithstanding the fact

00:32:11.020 that it's unconstitutional

00:32:11.980 to do it that way,

00:32:12.880 notwithstanding the fact

00:32:13.720 that the American people

00:32:15.380 have no national

00:32:16.580 security interest.

00:32:17.720 They are not made safer

00:32:18.720 by our involvement

00:32:19.840 as a co-belligerent 0.59

00:32:20.840 in the Saudi-led

00:32:22.520 coalition effort

00:32:24.600 against the Houthi rebels

00:32:26.540 in Yemen.

00:32:28.080 And so that's what

00:32:29.660 I'm saying here

00:32:30.400 is that I was consistent

00:32:31.680 in previous administrations

00:32:33.120 on this.

00:32:33.640 I'm being consistent

00:32:34.460 under President Trump.

00:32:36.080 And President Trump

00:32:37.020 himself, I believe,

00:32:38.680 agrees with us.

00:32:39.680 That is that

00:32:40.240 the president himself

00:32:41.700 shouldn't be free

00:32:42.700 to get us involved

00:32:43.580 in a war.

00:32:44.580 He doesn't.

00:32:45.080 The power belongs

00:32:45.620 to the people's branch

00:32:46.560 in Congress.

00:32:47.100 He is so anti-war,

00:32:50.280 he's barely a conservative

00:32:52.120 or a Republican

00:32:54.660 on that front.

00:32:56.620 When you look at...

00:32:57.200 Important distinction there,

00:32:57.900 by the way, Glenn,

00:32:58.520 because one is anti-war

00:33:00.800 because one is a conservative.

00:33:02.980 Yes.

00:33:03.520 Being anti-war

00:33:04.880 means one is a conservative.

00:33:06.660 It doesn't undermine it.

00:33:07.880 Correct.

00:33:08.040 Unfortunately,

00:33:08.580 the Republican Party

00:33:09.360 has at times

00:33:10.000 deviated from that standard

00:33:11.480 and has drifted more

00:33:13.420 toward the direction

00:33:14.200 of Woodrow Wilson.

00:33:15.400 Show me a war

00:33:16.640 so that I can get involved

00:33:17.720 in it so that I can

00:33:18.540 build government.

00:33:19.300 That's wrong.

00:33:20.940 So, Mike,

00:33:22.880 where is this headed?

00:33:26.080 The House votes today

00:33:27.800 on restraining the president

00:33:30.640 from doing things,

00:33:32.320 and I believe that

00:33:34.240 that is mainly political

00:33:36.280 in the House.

00:33:38.980 So you said that you

00:33:41.200 wanted to know

00:33:42.140 which way to vote,

00:33:43.200 and you were looking

00:33:44.400 at yesterday

00:33:45.160 and the people

00:33:47.960 who came over

00:33:48.560 to brief you 0.96

00:33:49.200 were the worst 0.67

00:33:49.900 that you've ever seen,

00:33:51.540 and were they saying

00:33:53.620 that you had to vote

00:33:54.960 with them

00:33:55.480 or just not discuss it,

00:33:57.900 or what was it

00:33:58.540 that they said,

00:33:59.560 and what are you

00:34:01.740 planning on doing?

00:34:03.240 Glenn,

00:34:03.560 the most important

00:34:04.720 and the most troubling

00:34:06.000 thing that they said

00:34:07.220 was that they refused

00:34:09.800 to commit

00:34:10.780 to any set of circumstances

00:34:12.360 in which they would be

00:34:13.320 required to come back

00:34:14.480 and seek authorization

00:34:15.920 from Congress

00:34:16.760 before undertaking

00:34:17.720 additional acts

00:34:18.620 against Iran.

00:34:19.700 They wanted to hold open

00:34:21.140 the possibility

00:34:21.740 that almost anything,

00:34:23.200 even right down

00:34:24.220 to taking down

00:34:24.800 the Supreme Leader,

00:34:26.220 might be authorized

00:34:27.800 either under their

00:34:29.460 inherent authority

00:34:30.220 under Article 2

00:34:31.080 or under the 2002

00:34:32.300 authorization for the use

00:34:34.200 of military force

00:34:35.100 or otherwise,

00:34:36.260 and that they might not

00:34:37.400 necessarily have to

00:34:38.240 come back to Congress.

00:34:38.840 I think that's inexcusable,

00:34:40.740 and there was a suggestion

00:34:42.480 in there also

00:34:43.180 that we shouldn't

00:34:44.160 be debating it,

00:34:45.280 that we shouldn't

00:34:45.800 have this discussion

00:34:46.680 because that might

00:34:47.480 embolden Iran 1.00

00:34:48.800 and it might make us

00:34:50.320 look weak.

00:34:51.140 Look,

00:34:51.420 this is the whole reason

00:34:52.860 the Founding Fathers

00:34:53.820 put this thing

00:34:54.520 in Article 1, Section 8,

00:34:55.520 the whole reason

00:34:56.080 they put it in Congress.

00:34:57.680 They didn't want

00:34:58.480 to have the executive

00:34:59.360 capable of getting us

00:35:01.140 into a war.

00:35:02.240 President Trump

00:35:02.800 doesn't disagree with that.

00:35:04.220 In fact,

00:35:04.580 I believe he agrees

00:35:05.620 with the Founding Fathers'

00:35:07.340 decision to do that,

00:35:08.600 and that's why

00:35:09.200 I think he was

00:35:09.740 ill-served yesterday

00:35:11.000 by those briefing

00:35:11.780 the Senate.

00:35:12.200 So, Mike,

00:35:13.500 I really do agree

00:35:15.160 with you.

00:35:15.480 I just want to play

00:35:16.120 devil's advocate here

00:35:17.360 one more time.

00:35:19.600 The Founders,

00:35:20.500 when they did this,

00:35:22.040 could not be heard

00:35:23.960 in the capitals

00:35:25.760 of our enemies

00:35:28.080 live,

00:35:29.200 and also

00:35:30.620 did not have

00:35:32.780 a world

00:35:33.720 that was controlled

00:35:35.120 by a State Department

00:35:37.820 and manipulated

00:35:41.440 in the media

00:35:42.640 as it is today.

00:35:44.700 You do

00:35:45.540 see the point

00:35:47.200 that,

00:35:48.400 and I'm not saying

00:35:49.240 we don't debate,

00:35:50.380 but you do understand

00:35:51.500 the point that

00:35:52.420 the debate,

00:35:53.700 especially if it

00:35:54.500 becomes political,

00:35:56.420 does

00:35:57.060 send the message

00:35:59.360 that we are not

00:36:00.600 all on the same page.

00:36:02.520 It does,

00:36:03.380 and that is

00:36:03.880 precisely the point

00:36:05.080 of the war power

00:36:06.260 being put

00:36:06.960 in Article I,

00:36:08.100 Section 8

00:36:08.560 and being a power

00:36:09.520 of Congress.

00:36:10.380 It's a feature,

00:36:11.620 not a bug,

00:36:12.340 to require debate

00:36:13.220 and careful deliberation

00:36:14.720 in the public eye

00:36:16.180 before going to war.

00:36:17.500 The Founding Fathers

00:36:18.060 never wanted

00:36:18.980 or intended it

00:36:19.900 to be easy

00:36:20.600 to get involved

00:36:21.360 in a war.

00:36:21.780 It's part of how

00:36:22.500 we stay out of war.

00:36:24.000 There are,

00:36:24.520 moreover,

00:36:25.240 more than adequate

00:36:26.380 means of dealing

00:36:27.500 with the modern realities

00:36:28.520 that you describe

00:36:29.220 without supporting

00:36:29.840 the Constitution.

00:36:30.520 The President

00:36:31.260 has inherent power

00:36:32.460 to repel

00:36:33.720 an actual

00:36:34.360 or imminent attack

00:36:35.440 on the United States.

00:36:36.680 The President

00:36:37.020 also has certain power

00:36:38.440 to order

00:36:38.960 special operations

00:36:40.680 teams

00:36:41.380 to go in

00:36:42.560 outside the

00:36:43.400 War Powers Act 0.55

00:36:44.200 process

00:36:44.760 and strike

00:36:46.180 in a more

00:36:46.600 clandestine fashion.

00:36:48.140 Neither of those

00:36:49.080 is impaired

00:36:49.780 by this kind

00:36:50.960 of debate

00:36:51.340 and discussion

00:36:51.840 about whether

00:36:52.300 we should

00:36:52.580 go into war.

00:36:53.200 We haven't had

00:36:55.360 a war declaration

00:36:56.840 since 1942.

00:36:59.900 That's right.

00:37:00.840 It's a problem.

00:37:02.140 It is a problem.

00:37:03.040 It shows this

00:37:03.580 gradual decline

00:37:04.600 over the last

00:37:05.140 80 years

00:37:05.860 away from

00:37:07.120 the constitutional

00:37:07.860 framework

00:37:08.460 and in a direction

00:37:10.120 that allows

00:37:11.280 for the consolidation

00:37:12.060 of power.

00:37:13.540 I've been against

00:37:14.380 that in previous

00:37:15.080 administrations.

00:37:16.280 I'm against that

00:37:16.980 in this administration

00:37:17.700 which is headed

00:37:18.380 by a president

00:37:19.000 who agrees with me.

00:37:20.780 Senator Mike Lee,

00:37:22.040 thank you so much.

00:37:23.200 I appreciate it

00:37:24.140 and I commend you

00:37:26.580 for your bravery

00:37:27.520 of standing up

00:37:28.840 and being consistent

00:37:29.920 no matter where

00:37:31.400 the arrows come from.

00:37:32.680 Keep up the good

00:37:33.280 work, Mike.

00:37:34.280 Thank you, Glenn.

00:37:34.900 You bet.

00:37:35.240 Bye-bye.

00:37:38.060 That's a hard job.

00:37:41.260 It's hard if you

00:37:42.100 actually care about

00:37:42.780 the Constitution.

00:37:43.320 You want to be

00:37:44.140 consistent over

00:37:44.780 multiple administrations.

00:37:46.160 It's hard then.

00:37:47.580 It's not hard if you

00:37:48.080 disagree with

00:37:48.980 whatever you're...

00:37:49.580 I mean,

00:37:50.040 here's the guy

00:37:51.780 who's running

00:37:52.320 the re-election

00:37:53.160 campaign in his

00:37:54.120 own state

00:37:54.820 for the president

00:37:56.080 and I think

00:37:58.600 partly because

00:37:59.380 of the press

00:38:00.800 not being honest.

00:38:03.040 They're making him

00:38:04.160 look like he's

00:38:04.880 against Trump.

00:38:06.120 He's not against Trump.

00:38:07.860 He's for...

00:38:09.000 He was running

00:38:09.840 a campaign

00:38:10.380 and he's also

00:38:11.700 for the action

00:38:13.880 that he took.

00:38:14.720 He's just not...

00:38:17.320 He just is consistent

00:38:18.660 on we can't get

00:38:20.480 mired into all

00:38:21.600 these wars 0.99

00:38:22.100 and sucked 0.99

00:38:22.680 into the war

00:38:23.360 and, you know,

00:38:24.620 I don't even think

00:38:25.140 it's the president.

00:38:25.980 I think it's

00:38:26.440 the State Department.

00:38:28.260 I think that...

00:38:28.760 Who's running

00:38:29.400 this show?

00:38:30.380 Who's running

00:38:30.780 our foreign policy?

00:38:33.080 Yeah, I mean,

00:38:33.440 Trump's...

00:38:34.000 As Lee pointed

00:38:35.080 out multiple times,

00:38:35.980 that definitely

00:38:36.380 seems to be

00:38:37.160 what Trump ran on.

00:38:38.720 And, you know,

00:38:39.480 a lot of people

00:38:40.120 are saying Pompeo

00:38:40.860 is the guy.

00:38:41.400 He's been, you know,

00:38:42.260 hard on...

00:38:43.160 hard line on Iran

00:38:43.900 for a long time

00:38:44.880 and he's the one

00:38:45.580 pushing this.

00:38:46.200 I want to talk

00:38:47.120 to you about

00:38:47.440 home security here

00:38:48.320 and our sponsor

00:38:48.900 is Simply Safe.

00:38:50.020 Simply Safe

00:38:50.780 will step in

00:38:52.480 to make sure

00:38:53.680 that your home

00:38:54.680 is protected

00:38:55.580 24-7.

00:38:57.380 If there's a break-in,

00:38:58.760 Simply Safe

00:38:59.320 uses real video evidence

00:39:01.080 to give police

00:39:01.940 an eyewitness account

00:39:03.100 of the crime.

00:39:04.100 Now, here's what

00:39:04.780 this means.

00:39:05.660 A, they're going

00:39:07.680 B, more importantly,

00:39:10.200 police will dispatch

00:39:11.180 up to 350% faster

00:39:13.920 than for a normal

00:39:15.200 burglar alarm

00:39:23.280 call police and say,

00:39:24.420 this is video verified

00:39:25.700 and that means

00:39:27.080 you go from

00:39:27.800 a response time

00:39:28.560 from 45 minutes

00:39:29.600 on average

00:39:56.500 Hey, we have a really,

00:40:26.480 really good television show

00:40:28.420 tonight

00:40:29.900 that you don't want

00:40:31.140 to miss.

00:40:32.520 Tonight we have

00:40:33.820 one of the guys

00:40:34.960 that,

00:40:35.660 whose life has been

00:40:36.640 completely ruined

00:40:38.080 by the Steele dossier.

00:40:41.820 He's been accused

00:40:43.160 of a million

00:40:44.100 different things.

00:40:45.600 None of them

00:40:46.300 were true.

00:40:47.760 He had a good name

00:40:49.580 at one point

00:40:50.620 and now

00:40:52.040 and now

00:40:52.060 nothing.

00:40:54.240 Where do you go,

00:40:55.300 CNN?

00:40:56.380 Where do you go

00:40:57.080 to get your life back?

00:40:59.200 By the way,

00:40:59.900 speaking of that,

00:41:01.200 Nick Sandman,

00:41:03.080 we failed to mention

00:41:05.020 because of the war

00:41:05.780 yesterday.

00:41:06.540 He's the kid

00:41:07.600 that was

00:41:08.380 accused

00:41:09.000 of being a racist

00:41:10.260 a year ago

00:41:11.920 on the steps

00:41:13.060 of the Lincoln Memorial

00:41:13.980 with the Indian

00:41:15.020 beating the drum.

00:41:15.960 He just settled

00:41:17.760 for an undisclosed

00:41:19.020 amount

00:41:19.580 with CNN.

00:41:21.520 I bet it's over

00:41:22.300 $100 million.

00:41:23.580 He was suing

00:41:24.280 for $275 million.

00:41:31.960 You're listening

00:41:33.040 to Glenn Beck.

00:41:34.640 Hillary,

00:41:46.140 go home. 0.68

00:41:46.560 You look terrible.

00:41:47.300 I know.

00:41:47.760 Something happened.

00:41:48.560 It's in my hair.

00:41:49.640 Your voice has gotten deeper

00:41:50.580 and wow,

00:41:51.980 you look bad.

00:41:53.020 Yes.

00:41:53.960 I'm glad Hillary went home.

00:41:56.080 I know she feels fine,

00:41:57.300 but boy,

00:41:58.240 that just hurt.

00:41:59.380 It hurt to listen to.

00:42:00.560 Yeah.

00:42:01.160 All right.

00:42:01.960 If you're in constant pain,

00:42:03.620 you are not alone

00:42:05.040 and I know

00:42:05.880 because I was in

00:42:07.440 constant pain.

00:42:08.260 For millions of Americans,

00:42:09.560 their pain has dramatically

00:42:10.780 changed their quality

00:42:11.860 of life.

00:42:12.980 Here at The Blaze,

00:42:14.100 we have met

00:42:14.740 with people

00:42:16.020 from the audience

00:42:17.100 who range in age

00:42:19.380 and range in

00:42:20.480 amount of pain

00:42:21.840 that have tried

00:42:28.760 thing is

00:42:29.800 it's

00:42:32.100 I mean,

00:42:32.920 I believe in

00:42:34.360 modern medicine 0.99

00:42:35.100 and herbal crap 0.98

00:42:36.620 and all that. 0.98

00:42:37.300 This is not herbal,

00:42:38.160 but this is all natural.

00:42:40.100 I mean,

00:42:41.840 if it's not done

00:42:42.640 in a chemistry kit,

00:42:44.840 I mean,

00:42:45.380 it can't work.

00:42:46.240 It does.

00:42:47.840 70% of the people

00:42:49.000 who try it

00:42:49.700 go on to take it

00:43:14.080 of entertainment

00:43:15.680 and enlightenment.

00:43:19.740 So Iran 0.96

00:43:21.380 is not

00:43:22.260 turning over

00:43:23.120 the black box

00:43:24.400 for the

00:43:25.540 Ukrainian airliner

00:43:27.140 that crashed

00:43:28.940 during the

00:43:30.260 hours of conflict.

00:43:35.120 Why wouldn't you

00:43:36.520 turn over

00:43:36.880 the black box?

00:43:38.940 Well,

00:43:39.560 now there is

00:43:41.360 speculation

00:43:42.240 and I

00:43:42.840 give you

00:43:44.800 that it's speculation

00:43:45.760 that it was

00:43:47.040 a Russian missile strike.

00:43:49.000 Now,

00:43:49.280 not by Russia,

00:43:50.800 but a Russia missile system

00:43:52.940 that somebody

00:43:54.320 got panicky

00:43:55.240 and pushed

00:43:56.740 and they

00:43:57.340 shot this

00:43:58.060 airliner down

00:43:59.000 in a moment

00:44:00.200 of operator error.

00:44:02.840 We go into that

00:44:04.220 and so much more

00:44:05.340 in one minute.

00:44:06.740 This

00:44:07.040 is the

00:44:07.860 Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:12.120 Winston Churchill

00:44:13.200 and then

00:44:14.200 later

00:44:14.780 Rahm Emanuel

00:44:15.400 once said,

00:44:16.680 never let a

00:44:17.340 crisis go to

00:44:18.200 waste.

00:44:19.520 Now,

00:44:20.020 you and I

00:44:21.080 both know

00:44:21.840 what happens

00:44:22.600 to gold markets

00:44:23.680 when you

00:44:24.620 say,

00:44:25.520 have an

00:44:26.380 impeachment,

00:44:27.760 a near war

00:44:28.500 overseas,

00:44:29.600 an election

00:44:30.160 coming up,

00:44:31.380 things become

00:44:32.240 unstable,

00:44:33.620 God forbid,

00:44:34.640 we have

00:44:35.280 more unstable

00:44:36.460 news in our

00:44:37.240 economy.

00:44:38.480 What happens?

00:44:40.260 Gold goes

00:44:40.840 through the roof.

00:44:41.420 Gold is at

00:44:42.020 its highest

00:44:42.900 it's been in

00:44:43.700 I don't know

00:44:44.160 how many years

00:44:45.020 because people

00:44:46.460 are sensing

00:44:47.080 hey,

00:44:47.800 there's trouble

00:44:48.600 on the horizon

00:44:49.540 or at least

00:44:50.520 possible trouble.

00:44:52.480 Well,

00:44:52.600 Goldline has

00:44:53.420 a special

00:45:48.700 Ukrainian

00:46:04.380 officials said

00:46:05.340 this morning

00:46:06.980 that they are

00:46:09.660 now considering

00:46:10.680 a Russia missile

00:46:11.780 strike as one

00:46:12.560 of the several

00:46:13.140 possible causes

00:46:14.840 for a Ukrainian

00:46:16.120 passenger plane

00:46:17.160 crash that 1.00

00:46:17.820 happened shortly

00:46:18.640 after the

00:46:19.160 flight took

00:46:19.680 off from

00:46:20.640 Tehran's

00:46:21.160 International

00:46:21.620 Airport last

00:46:22.480 Wednesday.

00:46:23.800 A strike

00:46:24.640 by a missile

00:46:25.400 possibly a

00:46:27.100 TOR missile

00:46:27.620 system is

00:46:28.700 among the

00:46:29.300 main theories

00:46:30.280 as information

00:46:31.380 has surfaced

00:46:32.080 on the

00:46:32.480 internet about

00:46:33.220 elements of

00:46:33.980 a missile being

00:46:34.580 found near

00:46:35.280 the site of

00:46:36.220 the crash.

00:46:37.580 That's not

00:46:38.360 going to go

00:46:38.840 well.

00:46:39.840 Ukraine is

00:46:40.340 waiting for

00:46:40.780 permission from

00:46:41.740 Iran to go 1.00

00:46:43.980 look for missile

00:46:44.700 debris at the

00:46:45.560 crash site but

00:46:46.680 Iran is there 0.89

00:46:47.460 no we're

00:46:48.180 cleaning

00:46:48.500 everything we

00:46:49.180 can we'll

00:46:49.420 just send

00:46:49.860 you everything.

00:46:51.620 They also

00:46:52.700 said that the

00:46:53.480 black boxes

00:46:54.300 that belong to

00:46:55.080 the plane have

00:46:55.920 been damaged

00:46:56.760 and some parts

00:46:58.220 of their memory

00:46:58.920 was lost.

00:46:59.680 This is according

00:47:00.140 to Iranian

00:47:01.180 investigators.

00:47:03.080 The crash

00:47:03.520 of the Ukraine

00:47:04.560 International Airlines

00:47:05.800 flight that was

00:47:06.920 bound for Kiev

00:47:08.120 on Wednesday

00:47:09.300 raised concerns

00:47:10.840 about Iran's

00:47:11.880 transparency during

00:47:13.040 the investigation.

00:47:14.600 Iran first blamed

00:47:15.840 mechanical failure

00:47:17.120 but some have

00:47:18.260 speculated that

00:47:19.140 Tehran's earlier

00:47:20.100 missile assault on

00:47:21.300 Iraqi bases housing

00:47:22.480 American troops

00:47:23.320 played a role.

00:47:24.840 All 176 people

00:47:26.680 on board died.

00:47:29.320 The plane's black

00:47:30.260 boxes were found

00:47:31.400 amid the wreckage

00:47:32.440 not from Imam

00:47:33.880 Khamenei

00:47:34.340 International Airport

00:47:35.160 but Iran is

00:47:36.400 refusing to turn

00:47:38.040 them over to

00:47:38.920 Boeing or the

00:47:40.180 National Transportation

00:47:41.020 Safety Board.

00:47:42.080 The Ukrainians 0.94

00:47:49.460 are like

00:47:49.800 okay give it

00:47:50.580 to us

00:47:51.080 but for some

00:47:52.480 reason they're

00:47:53.260 not getting

00:47:53.700 access to the

00:47:54.460 black box

00:47:55.140 either.

00:47:57.060 What's

00:47:57.620 truly remarkable

00:47:59.960 is the pilot

00:48:01.980 had to know

00:48:02.920 that they were

00:48:03.820 they were going

00:48:05.380 down and they

00:48:06.040 were crashing

00:48:06.640 and as they

00:48:08.680 were as they

00:48:10.960 were on fire

00:48:11.820 and going

00:48:12.320 down it

00:48:13.520 looks now

00:48:14.300 like this

00:48:14.960 this heroic

00:48:15.880 pilot steered

00:48:17.940 that plane

00:48:18.780 out of

00:48:19.920 dense populated

00:48:21.660 areas so he

00:48:23.020 could do the

00:48:23.760 least damage

00:48:24.640 on the ground

00:48:25.540 even though

00:48:27.600 most likely knew

00:48:28.780 they weren't

00:48:29.580 going to make

00:48:30.020 it.

00:48:31.120 Yeah it was

00:48:31.780 it was really

00:48:32.420 ugly and it

00:48:32.880 seemed almost 0.85

00:48:33.280 impossible that

00:48:34.560 it would be a

00:48:35.020 coincidence that

00:48:36.360 in the middle

00:48:36.740 of firing

00:48:37.580 rockets all

00:48:38.260 over the

00:48:38.480 place that

00:48:39.060 this plane

00:48:40.280 just goes

00:48:40.680 down with

00:48:41.380 a hundred

00:48:41.560 I mean it's

00:48:42.180 certainly

00:48:42.540 theoretically

00:48:43.580 possible it

00:48:44.260 was a coincidence

00:48:44.700 but this would

00:48:45.780 be a good day

00:48:46.240 to be like the

00:48:46.760 Alex Jones of

00:48:47.580 Iran like you're 1.00

00:48:48.420 hosting a show

00:48:49.120 and just blaming

00:48:49.840 everything on a

00:48:50.460 false flag like

00:48:51.260 you got a really

00:48:51.860 good argument on

00:48:52.480 this one.

00:48:52.840 You got a good

00:48:53.180 one.

00:48:53.420 This is a good

00:48:53.900 one.

00:48:54.240 Yeah.

00:48:54.440 Yeah.

00:48:54.940 I mean it

00:48:55.280 doesn't seem

00:48:56.060 like I mean I

00:48:57.880 don't know how

00:48:59.180 good your chemtrails

00:49:00.580 points would be that

00:49:01.400 particular day.

00:49:02.280 I don't know what

00:49:02.360 side you would take

00:49:04.000 in that.

00:49:04.520 If you're the

00:49:05.900 Alex Jones of

00:49:06.700 Iran what side 0.50

00:49:07.680 would you be

00:49:08.140 taking?

00:49:08.540 Well you're

00:49:08.780 immediately saying

00:49:09.480 that it didn't

00:49:10.280 crash for

00:49:10.960 mechanical reasons.

00:49:14.220 There was

00:49:14.780 fluoride on

00:49:16.080 that flight

00:49:16.680 and they were

00:49:18.660 shipping off the

00:49:19.820 recipe to make

00:49:20.600 all the frogs 0.99

00:49:21.360 gay and they 1.00

00:49:23.340 were going to 0.99

00:49:23.580 make all the

00:49:24.040 frogs in Ukraine 0.99

00:49:25.000 gay and we 0.99

00:49:27.580 only wanted the 1.00

00:49:28.420 gay frogs and 1.00

00:49:29.920 so they shot it 0.98

00:49:30.800 down.

00:49:31.200 Well that's a

00:49:31.600 great point too 0.98

00:49:32.180 not the gay 1.00

00:49:33.480 frogs part but 0.98

00:49:34.040 the Ukraine

00:49:34.520 point too.

00:49:35.240 It's like every

00:49:35.900 giant news story

00:49:37.620 and major

00:49:38.300 intersection in

00:49:39.240 one like you

00:49:39.780 could blame

00:49:40.240 things.

00:49:41.120 This is their

00:49:41.620 way of getting

00:49:42.200 rid of X Y 1.00

00:49:43.720 and Z about

00:49:44.400 Ukraine.

00:49:45.380 Yeah.

00:49:45.660 I mean there

00:49:46.120 were there

00:49:46.500 were there

00:49:47.280 were people on

00:49:48.180 board that knew

00:49:49.500 and had

00:49:50.000 information about

00:49:51.280 Donald Trump

00:49:52.160 and they made

00:49:53.800 us look like

00:49:54.760 like we shot

00:49:56.220 it down but

00:49:57.040 that was their

00:49:57.680 whole thing.

00:49:58.780 They were waiting

00:49:59.380 for coverage.

00:50:00.240 That guy was

00:50:01.280 going back to

00:50:02.320 Ukraine.

00:50:03.160 They had to 1.00

00:50:04.000 kill him. 0.99

00:50:04.600 I mean that's 1.00

00:50:05.400 that's solid.

00:50:06.620 I mean you hate

00:50:07.200 to hear about

00:50:08.080 terrible stories

00:50:08.920 like this but

00:50:09.560 this is what

00:50:10.180 fuels the entire

00:50:11.040 industry and I

00:50:12.520 gotta assume

00:50:13.000 there's gotta be

00:50:13.640 an Iranian

00:50:14.060 there's gotta be

00:50:15.000 an Iranian

00:50:15.440 Alex Jones over

00:50:16.580 there broadcasting

00:50:17.240 on the camera.

00:50:17.920 He's called

00:50:18.120 the Ayatollah.

00:50:19.880 That's a fair

00:50:20.520 point.

00:50:21.880 Except for them

00:50:22.740 nothing ever is a

00:50:23.680 false flag.

00:50:24.360 No nothing.

00:50:24.840 There's all

00:50:25.560 yeah it's always

00:50:26.720 that way.

00:50:27.480 It is a fascinating

00:50:28.580 story though.

00:50:29.260 I mean the fact

00:50:29.720 that happened

00:50:30.400 in the middle

00:50:30.820 of all this

00:50:31.440 you know you

00:50:32.640 if you are

00:50:33.480 if you're the

00:50:34.000 Ayatollah and

00:50:34.660 this shows I

00:50:35.580 think that they

00:50:36.180 they don't

00:50:37.320 want war 0.98

00:50:38.940 you know they

00:50:40.720 are at least

00:50:41.540 at the very

00:50:42.020 least protecting

00:50:43.460 themselves because

00:50:44.340 they could easily

00:50:45.900 have blamed that

00:50:46.880 on the United

00:50:47.300 States and you

00:50:47.900 gotta imagine

00:50:48.560 90% of the

00:50:49.520 people in the

00:50:50.360 country would

00:50:50.940 have believed

00:50:51.420 it.

00:50:51.900 You know I

00:50:52.420 mean like you're

00:50:53.320 in the middle

00:50:53.740 of you just

00:50:55.280 had who you

00:50:56.340 apparently is the

00:50:57.240 most respected

00:50:57.780 person in the

00:50:58.480 history of Iran

00:50:59.580 if you believe

00:51:00.420 the media

00:51:00.860 everyone's out

00:51:02.200 there mourning

00:51:02.860 and there's

00:51:03.320 millions of

00:51:03.920 people out

00:51:04.360 there they

00:51:05.540 fire back

00:51:06.300 some missiles

00:51:07.800 for the

00:51:08.200 retaliation which

00:51:09.020 they claim

00:51:09.580 has killed

00:51:10.040 30 American

00:51:10.900 soldiers killed

00:51:12.360 zero in reality

00:51:13.360 and then all

00:51:15.160 of a sudden

00:51:15.580 one of your

00:51:16.140 passenger jets

00:51:17.340 goes down

00:51:17.960 which is you

00:51:19.280 know tied to

00:51:20.040 the country

00:51:20.760 that the

00:51:22.560 president of the

00:51:23.220 United States

00:51:23.540 is currently

00:51:24.040 being impeached

00:51:24.780 over like they 0.54

00:51:26.100 could make a case

00:51:26.780 easily if they

00:51:27.520 wanted to fire

00:51:28.060 up that

00:51:28.320 population to

00:51:29.020 go to war 0.60

00:51:29.580 what are you

00:51:31.380 doing I mean

00:51:32.300 now you're just

00:51:32.920 now you're just

00:51:33.500 I'm trying to be

00:51:34.180 the Alex Jones

00:51:34.660 of Iran

00:51:35.020 I'm trying to

00:51:35.420 get a gig

00:51:35.800 it does seem

00:51:38.880 well you work

00:51:39.480 for NBC

00:51:40.000 well I think

00:51:40.700 it's a good

00:51:41.020 indication

00:51:41.460 I think it

00:51:42.880 is a good

00:51:43.400 indication

00:51:43.940 that they

00:51:46.320 are not

00:51:47.100 trying to

00:51:48.400 escalate this

00:51:49.160 and this is a

00:51:50.020 lot because of

00:51:50.640 and it's because

00:51:51.380 of this message

00:51:52.220 sent for years

00:51:53.620 and years

00:51:53.960 and years

00:51:54.300 we said

00:51:54.840 if you do

00:51:55.460 it by proxy 1.00

00:51:56.340 and kill a few 1.00

00:51:57.220 of our people 1.00

00:51:57.940 look we'll look

00:51:58.700 the other way

00:51:59.380 we don't want to

00:52:00.020 get you in

00:52:01.120 trouble

00:52:01.480 let's not get

00:52:02.600 into arguments

00:52:03.180 guys

00:52:03.680 that was our

00:52:04.480 position on Iran

00:52:05.400 oh let's have

00:52:06.160 an agreement

00:52:06.900 here we're going

00:52:07.360 to send you

00:52:07.680 a few billion

00:52:08.220 dollars

00:52:08.640 and unmarked

00:52:09.220 bills

00:52:09.540 let's just

00:52:10.580 be nice

00:52:11.320 to each other

00:52:11.780 President Trump

00:52:12.800 has sent a message

00:52:13.420 that that's no

00:52:14.100 longer the case

00:52:15.000 right

00:52:15.620 you

00:52:16.380 even your

00:52:17.400 proxies

00:52:17.980 even if your

00:52:18.560 name's not

00:52:19.140 on it

00:52:19.540 even if there's

00:52:20.140 no flag flying

00:52:21.100 behind the attack

00:52:22.060 if you do

00:52:23.200 this

00:52:23.580 because we

00:52:24.240 know you're

00:52:24.840 behind it

00:52:25.360 if you do

00:52:26.260 it we're going

00:52:26.700 to take out

00:52:27.060 a major

00:52:27.760 target 1.00

00:52:28.400 if you kill 1.00

00:52:29.640 our people 1.00

00:52:30.140 they're going

00:52:30.680 to be real

00:52:31.360 consequences

00:52:32.020 not the

00:52:32.880 fakey fake

00:52:33.420 ones we've

00:52:33.860 been promising

00:52:34.340 for years

00:52:34.820 and years

00:52:35.280 and Iran

00:52:37.100 while still

00:52:38.180 having to

00:52:38.600 justify to

00:52:39.260 their people

00:52:39.680 and there's

00:52:40.060 there's reporting

00:52:41.180 now saying

00:52:41.580 that they

00:52:41.920 actually

00:52:42.380 alerted us

00:52:43.360 before the

00:52:44.280 attack came

00:52:44.960 I told you

00:52:45.400 that yesterday

00:52:46.000 so that they

00:52:46.600 could be

00:52:46.900 through Oslo

00:52:48.800 and there's

00:52:50.260 two countries

00:52:50.920 oh god

00:52:53.260 was it

00:52:53.500 Norway or

00:52:53.940 Sweden

00:52:54.200 and one

00:52:54.680 other

00:52:55.000 I can't

00:52:56.980 remember

00:52:57.180 they're

00:52:57.500 interchangeable

00:52:58.240 yeah

00:52:58.420 there you

00:52:59.080 go

00:52:59.260 you can

00:53:00.520 say that

00:53:00.820 because those

00:53:01.120 people are 0.95

00:53:01.460 white

00:53:01.700 and so

00:53:03.040 if you

00:53:03.360 because if

00:53:03.880 you said

00:53:04.100 that oh

00:53:04.420 my gosh

00:53:04.800 about another

00:53:05.240 continent

00:53:05.560 that would

00:53:06.080 be the worst

00:53:06.380 thing in the

00:53:06.680 world

00:53:06.880 but you

00:53:08.780 know

00:53:08.940 the idea

00:53:10.200 being that

00:53:10.620 they

00:53:10.960 through

00:53:11.380 intermediaries

00:53:12.280 actually told

00:53:12.960 us these

00:53:13.280 rockets or

00:53:14.000 missiles were

00:53:14.600 coming

00:53:14.900 we had

00:53:15.880 our guys

00:53:16.380 clear out

00:53:17.600 places where

00:53:19.320 we were storing

00:53:19.880 equipment so

00:53:20.820 those buildings

00:53:21.400 were hit

00:53:21.760 I mean it

00:53:22.060 was a show

00:53:22.760 right a show

00:53:23.740 largely for

00:53:24.620 the Iranian

00:53:25.400 people to

00:53:26.240 say we did

00:53:26.760 something but

00:53:28.180 they do not

00:53:28.980 seem to want to

00:53:29.620 escalate this

00:53:30.140 any further and

00:53:30.780 it seems like

00:53:31.220 they got the

00:53:31.640 message again

00:53:32.220 we said this

00:53:32.700 yesterday I

00:53:33.040 think this is

00:53:33.720 what Mike Lee

00:53:34.820 was saying

00:53:35.300 today is very

00:53:36.540 important that

00:53:37.780 going forward

00:53:38.680 we make sure

00:53:39.460 we do this

00:53:39.820 the right way

00:53:40.280 it seems to

00:53:40.820 be very well

00:53:41.560 aligned with

00:53:42.220 what Donald

00:53:42.680 Trump ran on

00:53:43.340 and what he

00:53:43.640 actually believes

00:53:44.380 he has

00:53:45.080 stopped

00:53:45.880 the progress

00:53:47.680 of military

00:53:48.560 intervention

00:53:49.240 many many

00:53:49.780 times since

00:53:50.220 he's been

00:53:50.480 president

00:53:50.800 and has been

00:53:51.140 very restrained

00:53:51.740 on that front

00:53:52.220 and so it

00:53:53.900 does seem

00:53:54.900 that all that

00:53:56.200 stuff is

00:53:56.700 aligned

00:53:57.040 however up to

00:53:58.020 this point

00:53:58.380 forgetting what

00:53:59.480 it is going

00:54:00.200 forward

00:54:00.620 this has been

00:54:01.340 a complete

00:54:01.720 A plus

00:54:02.320 for the

00:54:02.900 president

00:54:03.180 we have

00:54:03.880 sent a

00:54:04.200 message

00:54:04.540 we took

00:54:05.140 out a

00:54:05.400 terrible 0.97

00:54:05.800 terrorist 0.98

00:54:06.280 who killed 0.79

00:54:06.740 600

00:54:07.340 American

00:54:07.820 soldiers

00:54:08.720 and tortured

00:54:09.680 God knows

00:54:10.280 how many

00:54:10.640 people in

00:54:11.100 the region

00:54:11.500 and the

00:54:13.120 retribution

00:54:13.720 for that

00:54:14.100 was basically

00:54:14.960 nothing

00:54:15.680 basically

00:54:17.040 nothing

00:54:18.020 so far

00:54:18.760 could

00:54:19.300 it could

00:54:19.680 escalate

00:54:20.120 there are

00:54:20.820 other groups

00:54:21.380 that are

00:54:22.020 proxies for

00:54:22.860 Iran that are 0.99

00:54:23.480 saying well

00:54:23.900 we see Iran

00:54:24.640 got their

00:54:24.980 revenge well now

00:54:25.500 we're going to

00:54:25.780 get ours

00:54:26.160 we may very

00:54:26.980 well see

00:54:27.440 more

00:54:27.900 but this

00:54:29.360 is as

00:54:30.100 good as

00:54:30.540 one of

00:54:30.780 these things

00:54:31.140 can turn

00:54:31.760 out in

00:54:32.120 the very

00:54:32.440 short term

00:54:33.000 so I

00:54:34.080 mean it

00:54:34.600 seems like

00:54:35.020 nobody

00:54:35.300 you know

00:54:35.940 nobody in

00:54:36.340 the press

00:54:36.680 seemed to

00:54:37.040 care when

00:54:37.420 it was

00:54:37.720 Benghazi

00:54:38.300 when we

00:54:39.240 did this

00:54:39.640 in Libya

00:54:40.200 under

00:54:41.640 Obama

00:54:42.140 and Hillary 1.00

00:54:42.780 Clinton

00:54:43.180 and you

00:54:44.220 know Hillary 0.99

00:54:44.740 Clinton

00:54:45.200 everybody

00:54:46.280 I saw

00:54:47.220 these people

00:54:47.700 you know

00:54:48.400 saying Hillary

00:54:49.760 Clinton

00:54:50.080 she what I

00:54:50.700 was right

00:54:51.200 she wouldn't

00:54:51.660 have done

00:54:51.920 this

00:54:52.140 she's on

00:54:53.180 record saying

00:54:54.260 that she

00:54:55.400 would have

00:54:55.700 gone in

00:54:56.200 and bombed

00:54:56.820 Iran

00:54:57.220 we came

00:54:57.780 we saw

00:54:58.140 they died

00:54:58.740 yeah that's

00:54:59.440 but that's

00:55:00.280 Libya

00:55:00.680 that's

00:55:01.060 Libya

00:55:01.320 I know

00:55:01.740 but I mean

00:55:02.080 this is a

00:55:02.720 far

00:55:04.000 crazier

00:55:05.640 action

00:55:06.200 than anything

00:55:06.960 that Trump

00:55:07.420 has done

00:55:07.800 in the

00:55:08.960 number

00:55:09.240 strikes

00:55:10.300 in Iraq

00:55:10.700 without

00:55:10.900 congressional

00:55:11.380 approval

00:55:12.140 between Iraq

00:55:12.800 and Syria

00:55:13.400 during the

00:55:14.460 Obama administration

00:55:15.060 was 2800

00:55:16.980 oh my gosh

00:55:18.220 2800

00:55:19.440 attacks

00:55:19.980 now the only

00:55:21.060 thing that's

00:55:21.560 difficult

00:55:21.980 different here

00:55:22.600 is the fact

00:55:23.200 that this guy

00:55:23.680 was a high

00:55:24.620 level

00:55:25.000 Iranian

00:55:25.920 from another

00:55:26.880 country

00:55:27.220 it's legally

00:55:27.840 justifiable

00:55:28.580 we've talked

00:55:29.120 about that

00:55:29.440 before

00:55:29.840 however

00:55:30.960 like

00:55:31.400 that's

00:55:32.720 totally

00:55:33.080 like

00:55:33.480 they took

00:55:34.240 out

00:55:34.400 Qaddaf 0.78

00:55:34.980 I mean

00:55:35.700 Qaddaf 0.78

00:55:36.240 is the

00:55:36.500 biggest

00:55:36.740 guy

00:55:37.220 you can

00:55:38.260 talk about

00:55:38.740 here

00:55:38.860 he was

00:55:39.100 actually

00:55:39.340 the leader

00:55:39.760 of the

00:55:40.080 country

00:55:40.480 and we

00:55:41.100 were bragging

00:55:41.880 about it

00:55:42.280 on television

00:55:42.880 you know

00:55:44.500 we were

00:55:44.880 she was

00:55:45.360 laughing

00:55:45.920 about his

00:55:46.400 death

00:55:46.920 and then

00:55:48.860 Benghazi

00:55:49.540 came

00:55:50.000 and destabilized

00:55:51.840 Syria

00:55:52.560 and we got

00:55:53.540 ISIS from

00:55:54.240 it

00:55:54.380 and you have

00:55:54.840 to be careful

00:55:55.220 because these

00:55:55.640 things could

00:55:56.040 happen

00:55:56.260 it could

00:55:56.520 happen

00:55:56.840 a similar

00:55:57.280 thing

00:55:57.540 could very

00:55:58.000 well happen

00:55:58.520 here

00:55:58.680 from one

00:55:58.980 of these

00:55:59.140 proxy

00:55:59.460 groups

00:55:59.780 but

00:56:00.260 what

00:56:01.140 Trump

00:56:02.220 seemingly

00:56:02.660 is saying

00:56:03.160 is

00:56:03.500 get your

00:56:04.620 people

00:56:04.960 under

00:56:05.340 control

00:56:05.780 you know

00:56:07.120 what

00:56:07.340 these proxy

00:56:08.000 groups

00:56:08.300 are you

00:56:08.920 so if they

00:56:09.940 do this

00:56:10.340 you do

00:56:11.020 this

00:56:11.320 and you're

00:56:11.600 going to see

00:56:11.840 real

00:56:12.460 consequences

00:56:13.400 that is a

00:56:14.960 different

00:56:15.500 approach

00:56:16.660 in the way

00:56:17.500 this has

00:56:18.620 occurred over

00:56:19.760 the years

00:56:20.420 and it's hard

00:56:22.180 to not see

00:56:22.760 this as

00:56:23.240 basically the

00:56:23.960 best case

00:56:24.520 scenario

00:56:24.980 so far

00:56:26.080 we have

00:56:26.300 Ian Bremmer

00:56:26.680 coming up

00:56:27.100 next hour

00:56:28.120 and he's

00:56:30.420 not

00:56:30.620 I wouldn't

00:56:31.220 call him

00:56:31.500 a Trump

00:56:31.740 fan

00:56:32.020 but he

00:56:33.340 has

00:56:33.820 said that

00:56:34.700 almost

00:56:35.100 exactly

00:56:35.580 this is a

00:56:36.360 huge win

00:56:36.900 for the

00:56:37.200 president

00:56:37.480 and when

00:56:38.820 you judge

00:56:39.200 it I

00:56:39.400 think on

00:56:39.900 its merits

00:56:40.500 and you're

00:56:40.960 able to

00:56:41.300 say well

00:56:41.760 when the

00:56:42.020 president does

00:56:42.480 good things

00:56:42.900 it's good

00:56:43.340 when the

00:56:43.780 president does

00:56:44.220 bad things

00:56:44.700 it's bad

00:56:45.220 you're not

00:56:45.760 CNN

00:56:46.080 you're not

00:56:46.500 Lou Dobbs

00:56:47.120 if you can

00:56:47.480 get somewhere

00:56:48.040 in between

00:56:48.520 those two

00:56:48.960 things

00:56:49.400 you can say

00:56:50.060 that this

00:56:50.340 was a huge

00:56:50.920 win

00:56:51.200 this is a

00:56:52.100 really

00:56:52.520 big

00:56:53.380 positive

00:56:53.980 for the

00:56:54.360 president

00:56:54.680 at least

00:56:55.200 as it

00:56:55.500 stands

00:56:55.740 right now

00:56:56.240 and

00:56:57.080 if this

00:56:58.080 is the

00:56:58.480 message

00:56:58.920 that the

00:56:59.320 Middle East

00:56:59.720 gets

00:57:00.200 that you

00:57:01.100 can't do

00:57:01.700 these things

00:57:02.280 or you

00:57:02.660 will feel

00:57:03.020 face real

00:57:03.920 consequences

00:57:04.520 that is an

00:57:06.000 incredible

00:57:06.660 positive

00:57:07.260 I think

00:57:07.840 situation

00:57:08.400 going forward

00:57:08.840 I think

00:57:09.200 what he

00:57:09.460 said in

00:57:09.860 his speech

00:57:10.520 to the

00:57:11.420 rest of

00:57:11.840 the world

00:57:12.320 was

00:57:13.540 some of

00:57:14.460 the best

00:57:14.920 stuff I

00:57:15.460 have heard

00:57:15.980 from a

00:57:16.460 president

00:57:16.820 perhaps ever

00:57:18.000 I mean

00:57:19.020 he put

00:57:19.420 the world

00:57:19.880 on notice

00:57:20.560 and

00:57:21.880 and you

00:57:22.560 know

00:57:22.640 when I

00:57:22.900 was growing

00:57:23.440 up

00:57:23.800 you never

00:57:25.000 harmed

00:57:25.800 an American 0.63

00:57:26.800 if you

00:57:27.680 had an

00:57:28.020 American

00:57:28.420 passport

00:57:29.060 you were

00:57:30.380 golden

00:57:31.060 nobody

00:57:32.140 was 0.80

00:57:32.460 screwing 0.98

00:57:32.920 with you 0.81

00:57:33.380 and I

00:57:34.220 think part

00:57:34.680 of that

00:57:34.940 came from

00:57:35.760 our

00:57:36.960 credibility

00:57:37.640 but also

00:57:39.240 part of it

00:57:39.780 came from

00:57:40.140 World War

00:57:40.520 II

00:57:40.800 you know

00:57:41.740 we

00:57:42.400 we dropped

00:57:43.100 two bombs

00:57:43.780 on Japan

00:57:44.420 then they

00:57:45.420 became our

00:57:45.960 allies

00:57:46.440 and our

00:57:47.040 friends

00:57:47.660 but they

00:57:48.960 knew

00:57:49.220 don't

00:57:49.960 screw

00:57:50.700 with the 0.97

00:57:51.200 U.S.

00:57:52.120 and that

00:57:52.640 faded

00:57:53.140 over years

00:57:54.080 and so

00:57:54.840 now

00:57:55.180 you a 0.57

00:57:55.660 U.S.

00:57:56.140 citizen

00:57:56.500 you're

00:57:57.400 more likely

00:57:57.860 to be

00:57:58.200 targeted

00:57:58.740 but that's

00:58:00.400 because

00:58:00.900 the U.S.

00:58:01.880 doesn't

00:58:02.260 respond

00:58:02.960 like it

00:58:03.580 used to

00:58:04.260 the U.S.

00:58:05.860 responded

00:58:06.300 in the

00:58:06.800 old days

00:58:07.320 like

00:58:07.900 Donald

00:58:08.600 Trump

00:58:08.880 did

00:58:09.180 I'm

00:58:10.180 not

00:58:10.340 going

00:58:10.460 to get

00:58:10.780 you

00:58:10.920 for

00:58:11.280 you know

00:58:12.060 for

00:58:12.260 blowing

00:58:12.580 up

00:58:12.800 a

00:58:12.980 drone

00:58:13.340 but

00:58:14.380 if

00:58:15.260 you 1.00

00:58:15.740 kill 1.00

00:58:16.720 one 1.00

00:58:16.960 of

00:58:17.060 our

00:58:17.220 people

00:58:17.600 we're

00:58:18.900 going

00:58:19.000 to

00:58:19.080 hit 1.00

00:58:19.260 you 1.00

00:58:19.420 and 0.99

00:58:19.620 hit 1.00

00:58:19.820 you

00:58:19.940 hard

00:58:20.140 and

00:58:20.320 then

00:58:20.440 we're

00:58:20.540 going

00:58:20.760 home

00:58:21.020 and

00:58:21.920 then

00:58:22.020 we're

00:58:22.120 going

00:58:22.320 home

00:58:22.600 how

00:58:23.260 different

00:58:23.640 would

00:58:23.840 the

00:58:23.960 world

00:58:24.240 be

00:58:24.640 if

00:58:25.540 we

00:58:25.900 would have

00:58:27.400 Afghanistan

00:58:29.180 and

00:58:30.320 just

00:58:30.680 really

00:58:31.180 just

00:58:31.840 just

00:58:33.820 destroyed

00:58:34.620 the

00:58:34.920 Taliban 0.97

00:58:35.320 quickly

00:58:36.380 and

00:58:37.680 then

00:58:37.900 continued

00:58:38.340 the

00:58:38.560 hunt

00:58:38.780 for

00:58:38.980 Osama

00:58:39.380 Bin 0.50

00:58:39.620 Laden

00:58:39.940 but

00:58:41.180 that's

00:58:41.520 what

00:58:41.700 we

00:58:41.840 did

00:58:42.100 and

00:58:42.580 then

00:58:42.680 we

00:58:42.780 went

00:58:42.980 home

00:58:43.280 how

00:58:44.120 different

00:58:44.960 would

00:58:45.260 the

00:58:45.400 world

00:58:45.620 be

00:58:45.940 we

00:58:46.900 are

00:58:47.020 not

00:58:47.300 going

00:58:47.520 to

00:58:47.680 nation

00:58:47.960 build

00:58:48.260 we're

00:58:48.520 not

00:58:48.740 going

00:58:48.880 to

00:58:48.980 build

00:59:50.440 and

00:59:51.180 then

00:59:51.600 the

00:59:52.080 kind

00:59:52.460 of

00:59:52.640 restraint

00:59:57.020 of

00:59:57.240 those

00:59:57.460 weapons

00:59:57.920 so

01:00:02.360 it's

01:00:02.500 not

01:00:02.640 every

01:00:02.820 day

01:00:02.960 you

01:00:03.080 get

01:00:03.220 hit

01:00:03.480 by

01:00:03.980 a

01:00:04.120 van

01:00:04.360 and

01:00:04.620 you

01:00:04.780 survive

01:00:05.540 but

01:00:06.160 that's

01:00:06.380 what

01:00:06.480 happened

01:00:06.700 with

01:00:06.900 Joseph

01:00:07.180 from

01:00:07.440 New

01:00:07.600 Jersey

01:00:07.920 one

01:00:08.240 day

01:00:08.420 he

01:00:08.600 was

01:00:08.720 crossing

01:00:09.080 the

01:00:09.300 street

01:00:09.580 in

01:00:09.740 New

01:00:09.840 York

01:00:10.040 City

01:00:10.320 and

01:00:10.940 it

01:00:11.020 was

01:00:11.140 exactly

01:00:11.600 the

01:00:11.860 wrong

01:00:12.140 moment

01:00:12.520 and

01:00:13.040 he

01:00:13.280 was

01:00:13.420 rushed

01:00:13.680 to

01:00:13.820 the

01:00:13.940 hospital

01:00:14.360 he

01:00:15.320 lived

01:00:16.000 thank

01:00:16.500 God

01:00:16.880 but

01:00:17.240 survival

01:00:17.800 doesn't

01:00:18.260 come

01:00:20.440 years

01:00:20.660 afterwards

01:00:21.240 Joseph

01:00:22.320 had

01:00:22.540 trouble

01:00:22.800 doing

01:00:23.080 yard

01:00:23.440 work

01:00:23.840 well

01:00:25.340 I

01:00:25.480 think

01:00:25.620 that's

01:00:25.860 a

01:00:25.980 benefit

01:00:26.360 anyway

01:00:27.640 he

01:00:28.080 also

01:00:28.320 couldn't

01:00:28.640 play

01:00:28.860 with

01:00:29.040 his

01:00:29.220 kids

01:00:29.660 which

01:00:29.880 was

01:00:30.140 really

01:00:30.400 bad

01:00:30.660 because

01:00:30.820 he

01:00:30.920 was

01:00:31.040 in

01:00:31.160 so

01:00:31.300 much

01:00:31.460 pain

01:00:31.880 then

01:00:32.640 one

01:00:32.900 day

01:00:33.100 he

01:00:33.320 heard

01:00:33.520 about

01:00:33.760 relief

01:00:34.220 factor

01:00:34.640 and

01:00:34.840 miracle

01:00:35.260 of

01:00:35.440 miracles

01:00:35.740 within

01:00:36.000 a few

01:00:36.340 weeks

01:00:36.700 Joseph

01:00:37.300 got

01:00:37.580 his

01:00:37.760 life

01:00:38.040 back

01:00:38.360 the

01:00:38.920 pain

01:00:39.280 that

01:00:39.440 he

01:00:39.540 had

01:00:39.680 been

01:00:39.840 in

01:00:40.020 ever

01:00:40.260 since

01:00:41.500 that

01:00:41.720 van

01:00:42.100 was

01:00:42.500 gone

01:00:43.300 it

01:00:43.420 has

01:00:50.440 pain

01:00:50.640 it

01:00:50.780 works

01:00:51.200 70%

01:01:37.520 that

01:01:37.680 conservative

01:01:38.080 yeah

01:01:38.480 and this

01:01:38.760 this

01:01:39.020 pattern

01:01:39.320 just

01:01:39.580 plays

01:01:40.040 out

01:01:40.320 every

01:01:40.940 single

01:01:41.420 time

01:01:43.440 it's

01:01:44.160 never

01:01:44.300 conservative

01:01:45.240 like a

01:01:45.480 republican

01:01:46.020 figure

01:01:47.360 who will

01:01:48.160 actually argue

01:01:48.920 for things

01:01:49.620 that are

01:01:49.940 I mean I

01:01:50.160 can be

01:01:50.580 conservative

01:01:51.000 at times

01:01:51.640 and you

01:01:52.120 know

01:01:52.220 moderate

01:01:52.580 at other

01:02:31.940 McDonald's

01:02:32.620 CEO

01:02:45.200 you think

01:02:45.700 about it

01:02:46.260 and you

01:02:46.960 think about

01:02:47.640 the

01:07:42.000 to say okay

01:07:42.700 wait a minute

01:07:43.200 and cnn

01:07:44.900 is becoming

01:07:46.100 the target

01:07:46.820 for a lot

01:07:47.720 of journalists

01:07:48.540 uh outside

01:07:50.040 of cnn

01:07:50.740 who are

01:07:55.900 not what

01:07:56.340 uh eric

01:07:57.420 wimple

01:07:58.940 was us

01:07:59.360 too

01:07:59.740 yeah he

01:08:00.740 called

01:08:01.160 himself a

01:08:02.400 what was

01:08:02.820 it a 0.99

01:08:03.100 a pathetic 1.00

01:08:04.440 media 0.99

01:08:04.900 criticism

01:08:05.460 failure

01:08:06.080 yeah

01:08:07.360 which you

01:08:07.880 know

01:08:08.100 probably

01:08:09.040 in those

01:08:09.940 words may

01:08:10.360 have been

01:08:10.600 described to

01:08:11.060 use him

01:08:11.340 in the

01:08:11.520 past

01:08:11.740 about him

01:08:13.020 in the

01:08:13.180 past but

01:08:13.580 not usually

01:08:13.900 by himself

01:08:14.360 so that's

01:08:15.280 pretty

01:08:15.460 pretty

01:08:15.800 significant

01:08:16.240 there

01:08:16.520 so the

01:08:16.820 article that

01:08:17.300 he wrote

01:08:17.620 for the

01:08:17.860 washington

01:08:18.120 post

01:08:18.420 dear cnnn 1.00

01:08:19.120 what parts

01:08:19.600 of the

01:08:19.840 steel

01:08:20.120 dossier

01:08:20.580 were

01:08:20.940 corroborated

01:08:21.720 i mean

01:08:22.140 listen to

01:08:23.160 how

01:08:24.140 how they

01:08:25.540 stood on

01:08:26.880 this steel

01:08:27.540 dossier being

01:08:28.320 corroborated

01:08:29.120 here's a

01:08:30.080 audio clip

01:08:30.700 parts of the

01:08:32.520 now infamous

01:08:33.340 dossier on

01:08:34.380 trump have

01:08:35.020 proven to be

01:08:35.760 true

01:08:36.100 i know the

01:08:36.620 history of the

01:08:37.360 dossier but it

01:08:38.040 hasn't been

01:08:38.440 discredited in

01:08:39.160 fact it's been

01:08:39.640 the opposite it's

01:08:40.360 been corroborated

01:08:41.240 much of the

01:08:41.900 dossier has been

01:08:42.940 corroborated this

01:08:43.780 discredited dossier

01:08:44.760 it hasn't been

01:08:45.500 discredited

01:08:46.300 your intel

01:08:47.500 community has

01:08:48.560 corroborated all

01:08:50.260 of the details in

01:08:51.080 there the

01:08:51.340 meeting

01:08:51.600 some of the

01:08:52.060 substantive

01:08:52.320 content of the

01:08:53.960 dossier we were

01:08:55.380 able to corroborate

01:08:56.220 in our

01:08:56.800 intelligence community

01:08:57.440 assessment which

01:08:58.180 from other sources

01:08:59.300 in which we had

01:09:00.560 very high confidence

01:09:01.400 we know that with

01:09:02.480 the fisa

01:09:02.980 application the

01:09:04.280 relevant parts

01:09:05.260 of christopher

01:09:06.400 steel's dossier

01:09:07.620 were corroborated

01:09:09.000 if the application

01:09:10.000 included

01:09:10.560 information from

01:09:12.040 the dossier

01:09:12.620 it would only be

01:09:13.980 after the fbi

01:09:14.900 had in fact

01:09:16.140 corroborated

01:09:16.640 information through

01:09:17.460 its own

01:09:17.900 investigation

01:09:18.520 we also know

01:09:19.460 that as time

01:09:19.980 goes on more

01:09:20.780 and more parts

01:09:21.420 of the steel

01:09:21.840 dossier get

01:09:22.940 corroborated

01:09:23.620 so when the

01:09:24.280 president just

01:09:24.740 refers to a

01:09:25.340 fake dossier

01:09:26.080 that is false

01:09:27.060 uh i i don't

01:09:29.140 think that's

01:09:29.620 that's the

01:09:30.580 accurate characterization

01:09:31.440 for the entirety

01:09:32.520 of the dossier

01:09:33.120 investigators have

01:09:34.420 corroborated

01:09:35.240 part of the

01:09:36.200 dossier

01:09:36.860 dossier has been

01:09:37.640 corroborated by the

01:09:38.620 intelligence community

01:09:39.620 u.s investigators

01:09:40.420 have corroborated

01:09:41.340 some of the

01:09:41.900 allegations in that

01:09:42.840 dossier

01:09:43.300 we do know that

01:09:44.460 parts of it have

01:09:45.480 been corroborated

01:09:46.240 it's not been

01:09:47.020 corroborated

01:09:47.820 but it hasn't been

01:09:48.920 disproven either

01:09:49.880 is there anything in

01:09:50.780 the dossier that has

01:09:51.620 been disproven

01:09:52.860 no

01:09:53.560 but not one thing

01:09:54.320 has been disproven

01:09:55.320 no major thing from

01:09:56.700 the dossier has been

01:09:57.780 conclusively disproven

01:09:59.260 to date none of it

01:10:01.020 has been disproven

01:10:01.940 and whole big parts of

01:10:03.660 it are holding up

01:10:04.560 the dossier

01:10:05.400 holds up well

01:10:06.820 none of it has been

01:10:07.880 disproven

01:10:08.340 all of the allegations

01:10:09.340 in it i don't know

01:10:10.020 that anything has been

01:10:10.720 disproven

01:10:11.420 it's a fact that none

01:10:13.040 of it not one word

01:10:14.360 has been disproven

01:10:15.480 in fact a lot of it

01:10:17.040 turned out to be

01:10:17.640 right on the money

01:10:18.340 former high-ranking

01:10:19.240 intelligence officials

01:10:20.080 have told us on the

01:10:21.160 record that there is

01:10:21.920 nothing in the steel

01:10:23.020 dossier that they know

01:10:24.360 to have been disproven

01:10:26.000 much of the dossier

01:10:26.540 has been corroborated

01:10:27.860 do you not accept

01:10:28.940 that i don't agree with

01:10:30.240 that alice this is our

01:10:31.300 reporting and this is

01:10:32.220 what um this is what

01:10:33.780 crime fighting agencies

01:10:35.360 have said that the fbi

01:10:36.700 would not have just

01:10:37.900 taken a dossier

01:10:39.460 to the fisa court

01:10:40.940 and use that as their

01:10:41.980 predicate for the

01:10:42.840 surveillance they had

01:10:44.100 to corroborate it

01:10:44.960 themselves that's how

01:10:45.960 they operate yeah

01:10:47.240 well as we found out

01:10:48.300 that's not how they

01:10:49.140 operated uh and so

01:10:51.160 cnn is holding the line

01:10:53.200 and uh the washington

01:10:54.940 post their ombudsman

01:10:56.560 said at the time the

01:10:57.940 white house press

01:10:58.560 secretary sean spicer

01:10:59.680 said we continue to be

01:11:00.880 disgusted by cnn's fake

01:11:02.540 news reporting it's now

01:11:04.640 with some hindsight

01:11:05.880 assisted dossier

01:11:07.440 accountability uh falls

01:11:09.920 on the eric wemple

01:11:11.440 blog that's the author's

01:11:13.280 uh blog after spicer's

01:11:15.400 blast we wrote a post

01:11:17.020 criticizing the white

01:11:18.200 house for its

01:11:18.820 authoritarian response

01:11:20.300 to the cnn story though

01:11:22.720 the white house's conduct

01:11:23.980 was typically bush league

01:11:25.600 and anti-democratic the

01:11:27.560 eric wemple blog should

01:11:29.260 have spread some

01:11:30.160 skepticism to cnn for

01:11:32.500 its vague story we

01:11:34.420 did not that is a 0.99

01:11:36.380 pathetic media 0.94

01:11:37.760 criticism failure i 0.99

01:11:39.560 will say this stuber

01:11:40.500 gear host gives at the

01:11:41.820 eric wemple blog some

01:11:43.020 uh real credit there and 0.95

01:11:44.760 admitting how pathetic 0.99

01:11:45.800 they have been on this 0.99

01:11:47.480 particular issue well the

01:11:49.340 the glenn beck blog and

01:11:51.780 broadcaster oh uh did

01:11:53.660 not say anything at the

01:11:55.040 time and uh so he's not 0.99

01:11:56.960 a pathetic um no he 1.00

01:11:58.820 didn't take a he didn't 1.00

01:11:59.740 take a stand either way

01:12:00.820 okay so i just i first

01:12:04.020 of all stop stop with the

01:12:05.480 third person nonsense but

01:12:06.460 secondly i mean it is it

01:12:07.940 is important that

01:12:08.820 mainstream media calls out

01:12:10.860 mainstream media from time

01:12:12.080 to time uh when they've

01:12:13.500 been this bad this

01:12:14.620 consistently on this issue

01:12:15.660 and cnn has been the main

01:12:16.820 culprit on this um you

01:12:18.620 know they they really came

01:12:20.780 out and i tried to give

01:12:22.820 this thing credibility and

01:12:24.620 you know first of all you

01:12:25.700 get the it's been

01:12:26.620 corroborated which the only

01:12:28.340 thing that was corroborated

01:12:29.300 in the dossier were

01:12:31.880 things that were publicly

01:12:32.960 available through other

01:12:33.800 sources that have been

01:12:34.620 reported in other places so

01:12:36.080 basically there was nothing

01:12:37.160 in there that was actually

01:12:38.560 corroborated secondly they

01:12:40.220 try to introduce this 0.82

01:12:41.100 ridiculous standard as 0.83

01:12:42.940 nothing has been 0.96

01:12:43.840 conclusively disproven which

01:12:46.060 is an impossible standard

01:12:47.720 and and no no journalist

01:12:50.040 should report anything based

01:12:51.680 on that it has not been

01:12:52.680 conclusively disproven how

01:12:55.000 do you disprove these

01:12:55.880 things well shockingly now

01:12:58.300 they actually have been

01:13:00.400 conclusively disproven as

01:13:02.260 they went back to the

01:13:03.020 sources who basically said

01:13:04.760 they were joking we now

01:13:07.580 can conclusively disprove

01:13:09.400 these allegations in the

01:13:10.460 dossier so even with the 0.89

01:13:12.280 ridiculous fake journalistic 0.59

01:13:14.440 standard of things need to 0.96

01:13:16.920 be conclusively disproven or

01:13:19.520 we're going to report them

01:13:20.740 even with that standard they

01:13:23.440 failed yeah and here's where

01:13:25.440 they did here's where a lot

01:13:26.980 of their failures came

01:13:28.540 according to the washington

01:13:29.940 post the cnn story also

01:13:31.720 pads the dossier with this

01:13:33.200 claim another allegation

01:13:34.920 that's proven true steals

01:13:36.940 sources noted that the

01:13:39.240 russian government had

01:13:40.260 indirectly paid michael flynn

01:13:41.940 to travel to moscow a

01:13:43.440 reference to his attendance

01:13:44.480 at a gala honoring the

01:13:45.840 state-run broadcaster rt well

01:13:48.660 says the washington post

01:13:49.980 flynn's gala participation in

01:13:52.000 december 15th was promoted by

01:13:53.980 rt and drew some coverage in

01:13:55.680 the media well so the trip

01:13:57.480 itself was no secret as for

01:13:59.720 the payment flynn himself

01:14:01.360 confirmed it during an

01:14:02.760 interview with michael iscoff

01:14:04.260 in yahoo news in july 2016

01:14:07.460 top trump advisor defends

01:14:09.640 payment for russian-speaking

01:14:10.960 engagement wrote read the you

01:14:13.040 the yahoo news headline so by

01:14:16.420 july 2016 the world knew that

01:14:19.720 flynn had traveled to russia for a

01:14:21.980 gala and that he'd been paid by

01:14:24.560 russians for it the dossier 0.87

01:14:27.200 memorandum containing this same

01:14:29.080 claim about flynn and others is

01:14:30.900 dated august 10 2016 therefore

01:14:33.960 steals claim about flynn appeared

01:14:37.320 just to be an aggregation job so

01:14:41.160 the ones that they they made it

01:14:44.380 into more than it was they said it

01:14:48.500 was in the steel dossier and

01:14:51.120 they're confirming these things now

01:14:53.300 with the fbi the ones that you

01:14:56.000 could confirm were already out in

01:14:58.840 the media and no one was denying

01:15:01.040 those things but because it was in

01:15:04.120 this dossier that said trump was

01:15:07.640 deeply in bed with russia and all of 0.91

01:15:10.040 this it made it look like those things

01:15:14.200 that had already been out in the media

01:15:15.940 admitted to that those things were part

01:15:20.160 of this conspiracy now i don't know

01:15:23.960 how much sandman uh got nicholas

01:15:26.760 sandman um for his lawsuit against

01:15:31.740 cnn but i i hope it was a lot he was

01:15:38.040 suing them for 275 million dollars

01:15:41.680 stew would be surprised if it was

01:15:44.880 into eight figures i'd be surprised if

01:15:47.680 it wasn't in eight figures i'm hoping

01:15:50.920 that it was nine figures oh yeah i mean

01:15:52.880 i hope he got a lot yeah i think a lot

01:15:54.500 of times these things wind up being

01:15:56.000 settled for a lot less and for and we

01:15:58.180 mentioned this before the the hulk hogan

01:16:00.220 lawsuit that took down gawker as a

01:16:03.900 company and no longer exists he got 30

01:16:06.620 million now he was they published a sex

01:16:10.000 tape of him they published him having

01:16:13.240 sex with someone who wasn't his wife 0.96

01:16:15.180 on the internet uh and they had peter 0.97

01:16:18.280 teal's lawyers behind hulk hogan a

01:16:21.160 major public figure and they still only

01:16:23.560 got 30 million dollars so i don't know i

01:16:26.180 mean he he probably was never getting

01:16:27.740 275 everyone asked for a heck of a lot

01:16:29.600 he's not gonna get 275 you know i think

01:16:30.980 melania trump when she sued um over her

01:16:33.460 issue with the daily mail asked for 150

01:16:35.680 million and i believe got three um so i

01:16:39.020 think this is different i i hope you

01:16:41.420 could be right it could be right i think

01:16:43.420 you're right it's different but i think

01:16:44.400 it's different in a sign that would point

01:16:46.760 to less money not more i don't think so

01:16:48.700 because sandeman is not you know look he

01:16:50.280 got remember these things aren't decided

01:16:52.560 necessarily solely on the idea of how

01:16:54.940 mean or how bad the coverage was it also

01:16:57.540 has to do with did you ruin uh you know

01:17:00.840 future earnings potential you know if

01:17:03.060 you're a major uh a person who's making

01:17:05.180 millions of dollars a year and you destroy

01:17:06.660 your reputation you're going to get a lot

01:17:07.860 more money than someone who is making

01:17:09.800 less look i think sandeman deserves

01:17:11.560 morally every dime cnn has they were

01:17:14.520 terrible and i also think that punitively

01:17:17.520 cnn needs to be taught a lesson and so

01:17:21.300 does the rest of the media they took steps

01:17:24.120 that were dishonest intentionally dishonest

01:17:27.680 um and you know overall he's suing for

01:17:31.340 800 million dollars yeah i hope he walks

01:17:34.640 away with one to 200 i hope he walks away

01:17:38.180 with 850 million but he won't but i hope

01:17:42.860 with all of the media uh sources that it is

01:17:45.820 it is closer to 200 million that he walks

01:17:49.180 away with uh than uh than not because i think

01:17:53.320 he deserves it and i think the media needs

01:17:56.400 to be punished and a 5 million dollar 10

01:17:59.240 million dollar settlement means nothing

01:18:01.060 i mean cnn i mean even even if you got

01:18:03.320 100 million dollars out of them i'm sure

01:18:04.800 they have uh libel insurance that goes

01:18:07.780 oh sure sure sure i mean john oliver was

01:18:10.060 sued for uh a fortune by a um a coal

01:18:15.100 uh company a head who was criticized on

01:18:18.400 the show and he you know tried to sue him

01:18:20.740 for you know hundreds of millions of

01:18:22.340 dollars i now hbo won that suit um but

01:18:25.940 even with that the legal costs were largely

01:18:28.720 covered by hbo's insurance anyway

01:18:30.400 i mean this is you know they had it it's

01:18:32.840 not like it's nothing i mean it's it's 0.95

01:18:34.300 certainly going to be a pain in the butt

01:18:36.040 for cnn and it also makes your insurance 0.98

01:18:38.940 more expensive yep and uh you better be a

01:18:42.540 little more careful on everything else you

01:18:44.360 report so it may not have hurt them

01:18:45.940 financially but it did hurt them

01:18:48.380 it hurt their reputation too and rightly so

01:18:51.720 i mean they were just one of them and

01:18:53.380 the washington post really led the the

01:18:55.720 bandwagon on that thing even more than

01:18:57.280 cnn i think i mean the cnn was really

01:19:00.400 just reporting on the back of what the

01:19:02.640 washington post initially uh well they're

01:19:05.100 up next yeah and they're gonna they've

01:19:06.820 got i think they've got an even tougher

01:19:07.940 case than cnn had so this will be

01:19:09.920 interesting

01:20:41.440 i love this democratic insiders are now

01:21:09.520 telling the front runners hey can you guys stop

01:21:12.140 looking like you're iran's lawyers

01:21:13.760 uh they said uh they want to avoid any sense

01:21:18.880 that they are looking like they are in favor of

01:21:21.800 iran uh horses out of that barn uh and they also

01:21:26.840 need to explain what they would do differently it

01:21:29.080 can't simply be just rejoin the iran deal it can't

01:21:33.020 be come home america come home america wasn't a great

01:21:36.600 theme for george mcgovern in 72 and it's not likely to work any better

01:21:40.220 in 2020 i think they're facing another george mcgovern kind of loss

01:21:44.700 i really do i i just don't i at this point everything could change

01:21:51.440 but at this point i can't imagine americans saying

01:21:55.480 yeah yeah we gotta

01:21:57.760 we gotta go with these these people and the socialist and radical ideas that

01:22:02.560 they have because i don't think america lives there

01:22:05.560 yeah maybe i mean it seems like the the mcgovern style victories have only

01:22:11.460 occurred with pretty with with presidents with incredibly high

01:22:15.820 popularity ratings i mean you know nixon's you know approval ratings were

01:22:20.100 incredibly high before watergate reagan was coming into the real meat of

01:22:24.720 the success of his administration the morning for america

01:22:28.180 uh with against dukakis you have that sort of background that that seems to be

01:22:33.620 sort of the pattern for that trump has had a lot of success with the economy

01:22:37.800 uh this the most recent incident with iran is i think you know worked out well

01:22:43.040 the isis thing was there's been a lot of success stories but still his approval

01:22:46.480 rating is you know 41 42 percent uh and you know polling kind of shows a

01:22:51.700 very close race sometimes he's behind every once in a while he's ahead but it's

01:22:55.620 you know pretty tight race very polarized public almost nothing that's happened all

01:23:00.640 these big stories has moved his approval rating more than two or three points his

01:23:04.420 entire administration he's had the most consistent approval ratings of any

01:23:08.240 president that's crazy really long time and you think of the way that the coverage

01:23:12.400 has been against him it's amazing they haven't been able to knock that down

01:23:16.020 but that doesn't necessarily at least the science right now i don't think

01:23:20.020 you know points towards a massive victory like yeah i don't even know if that's

01:23:24.220 possible today i think we almost are too polarized for it even to occur

01:23:27.960 maybe with anybody maybe but i just sense democrats are tired of this too

01:28:31.040 ian bremer is uh with us now he's the president and founder of the eurasia group leading global

01:28:45.440 political risk research and consulting firm the economist says he's a rising guru uh in the field

01:28:53.380 of political risk and we're glad to have him here and ian i have to tell you i'm a fan of mike lee

01:28:59.100 and um mike lee was against the president when he was running and then he was for him after he did a

01:29:07.080 few things yesterday he came out and said it was a horrible briefing and uh that no president should

01:29:13.420 have just war powers unlimited and he's being branded today as as anti-trump no it's a thinking

01:29:21.640 human being i can be for some things and against other things and i appreciate that about you

01:29:28.160 coming out yesterday and saying i don't i'm not a trump supporter but good job on this iran thing

01:29:34.900 thank you you think that would be a fairly sensible position to be able to take but

01:29:42.200 as you know and as you just said it's uh it's becoming more challenging i was heartened that actually

01:29:48.220 the the interview that i did on cnn um that was you know sort of as all this was coming down the

01:29:54.020 pike on monday morning um was then picked up and promoted and talked about on fox news and i it's

01:30:01.460 it's just so rare that that actually happens in a sensible way yeah um because because there's just

01:30:06.200 so much of two completely separate countries and two completely separate bubbles um in digesting

01:30:12.380 different information and news and deciding that they have a team and if you're not on the team it

01:30:16.440 doesn't really matter whether you do something that's smart uh good you know i mean like would

01:30:21.760 i have supported obama if he had had the same uh if he had killed um soleimani and the iranians

01:30:29.000 had responded with nothing and let's please talk of course i would have had nothing to do with who

01:30:33.600 the president is right you know right good for you that is shocking that i have to thank you for

01:30:38.220 that but uh let me point out that you're a thinking human being still and those are rare

01:30:43.520 um so looking at the report that was released on monday from your group um you're looking at the top

01:30:50.520 risks for 2020 do do you put iran in the top risk at all we put it uh we had a broad risk about uh what

01:31:02.740 we call shia crescendo uh of of challenges uh to stability in both uh syria iraq and iran as risk

01:31:12.860 number eight towards the bottom of the list but iran itself was uh considered a red herring uh that

01:31:18.700 actually it was going to be talked up a lot people going to say we're going to war and we didn't buy

01:31:23.540 any of it and uh we got a lot of pushback i changed my new year's resolution um as a consequence to

01:31:29.840 just trying to convince people that world war three is not imminent

01:31:32.440 uh you know here we are it was crazy i mean look there's no question iran is still a very

01:31:40.860 serious uh adversary of the united states in the region that's not that it didn't change

01:31:47.100 overnight um but we have now established a real deterrent they have now backed down and there is a

01:31:54.680 window of opportunity for negotiations i mean so much so that the likelihood of negotiations uh being

01:32:00.340 pursued between the u.s and iran directly this year in my view are greater than a resumption of

01:32:06.820 military conflict directly between the two sides and i think that's quite something to say so you

01:32:12.020 say the number one risk for 2020 in the u.s is who governs the u.s quoting in 2020 u.s institutions

01:32:20.120 will be tested as never before in november election will produce a result many will see as

01:32:24.200 illegitimate if trump wins amid credible charges of irregularities the result will be

01:32:30.200 contested if he loses particularly if the vote is close it will be the same either scenario would

01:32:35.700 create months of lawsuits in a political vacuum but unlike the contested bush gore 20 or 2000 election

01:32:43.040 the loser is unlikely to accept a court decided outcome as legitimate that's frightening you know

01:32:51.800 it's it's not the end of democracy it's not like the united states is about to become hungary or turkey

01:32:57.540 uh it's not like our institutions are going to break but i do think that we're going to i mean the

01:33:02.020 the equivalent is brexit right and and not the not the brexit reality that's coming at the end of

01:33:08.580 january but rather what happened after they voted which is that the people that lost said no we want

01:33:15.580 another vote we this wasn't acceptable you didn't tell us what this was all about this was illegitimate

01:33:19.840 and so for three years you had the brits tearing each other up at the exception at the expense of

01:33:26.440 getting any legislation done of actually governing of actually leading um and i i fear that we're entering

01:33:32.880 a period like that in the united states uh again the uk institutions are still there uh the royals took a

01:33:39.060 beating over the last few days but leaving that aside the institutions are still there they're still a

01:33:43.760 democracy they still function but my god they they showed themselves being completely incapable of

01:33:49.100 governing for a period of time and i think that coming out of the 2020 elections we're likely to

01:33:53.660 have that kind of a broken election process but that wasn't that brexit wasn't broken because there was

01:34:00.400 a big scandal of uh possible rigging of an election one way or another what they were saying was uh well

01:34:08.620 we're we're not gonna we're just not gonna do that because uh uh you know that's just not the

01:34:13.460 right thing to do they weren't listening to the people um and and that was the real problem in brexit

01:34:19.840 if if there is a scandal that goes along with this in one way or another that's different than the brexit

01:34:28.160 thing isn't it yes yes certainly how we get there is completely different i was just talking about what it would

01:34:33.400 feel like in the united states so we weren't talking about revolution you know um no how we get there

01:34:38.380 in the united states is we have an impeachment um the president has been impeached he will be

01:34:44.280 acquitted um and he will be acquitted despite having in my view um having committed crimes abusing power

01:34:52.420 um to swing the election in his favor um so impeachment will be broken as um a restraint on the

01:35:01.160 president as he seeks re-election this year so ian let me ask you this um we disagree on

01:35:07.720 on the the crime thing um i think this is a i i think this there are crimes that were committed

01:35:14.640 um but not necessarily by the president but if he did commit them i want to know them i want to hear

01:35:21.100 all of the evidence i want it fair uh and i want it out in the open and if he did he's out or if anybody

01:35:28.020 else did um do you think that we live in a world that that washington will give us a fair trial and

01:35:38.540 call everyone to the witness stand oh no no no of course not because i mean again you know the

01:35:45.520 democrats this is a party line right the vote was a party line vote and uh in the senate the same thing

01:35:51.600 is going to happen with the republicans i mean so there's no possibility that impeachment could

01:35:56.160 proceed in the way that our founding fathers had intended it to doesn't that hurt it's clearly

01:36:01.480 broken as a process right and doesn't this this breakdown i think is happening in washington

01:36:07.560 i'm not sure that it is happening as much as it in in the middle of america um and the non-political

01:36:16.760 america i'm not sure that it's happening as strong as it is on tv and in washington i think

01:36:23.360 both democrats and republicans see this entire thing as this but neither side is being right here

01:36:30.560 again i i think that the uh sclerotic partisanship the capture of our political process by big money and

01:36:40.600 special interests on both sides um has led to an awful lot of angry people yeah a lot of america

01:36:46.740 that feel that the system is broken that it's disenfranchised that it's rigged and you know

01:36:51.200 that that is about washington it is about the political system but you know there was a story

01:36:55.360 last year that one piece of data that i mean i think articulated this for me that had nothing to

01:37:01.500 do with washington but my god it feels the same way for everyone which is uh you know around this uh

01:37:06.460 varsity blues scandal with all the parents the wealthy parents buying their way in the universities

01:37:11.080 so it turned out that last year in greenwich connecticut 50 percent of the high schoolers

01:37:18.600 taking the sat 50 percent of them had um notes from psychologists allowing them to take the test

01:37:27.320 unmonitored over two days as opposed to four hours oh my gosh and i mean so you talk about the average

01:37:34.160 american right the average american looks at that and they say yep exactly that's the problem 0.97

01:37:40.300 i knew it i can't do a damn thing i mean i'm powerless these people are screwing me 0.82

01:37:45.120 and uh and so is that washington well washington is complicit but it's more than just washington

01:37:50.400 you can't say it's just washington the media i agree that's not right i agree that's not fair

01:37:53.800 um let's talk a little bit about uh china uh what's coming our way with china because china is not iraq

01:38:03.460 i mean we're not right yeah we're not going to be able to we're not going to be able to do anything

01:38:09.580 with china and have them react the same way but they seem to really be hurting by these sanctions

01:38:16.840 what's coming our way well i like the way you put that because you know i mean trump his two of his

01:38:22.880 biggest foreign policy wins have been the same basic strategy they've been what he just did with

01:38:28.680 iran and then what he did with mexico when he said i'm going to destroy your economy literally your

01:38:34.060 head's going to spin if you don't actually tighten up the borders in both cases trump's like this guy

01:38:39.220 at the poker table with a massive stack of chips in front of him it doesn't really matter if he's

01:38:43.120 holding a two nine or a pocket aces he just put all of his chips in and you're going to fold right

01:38:48.760 but china is not going to fold right china's ability to say no to the united states is actually quite

01:38:54.900 robust and so we are going to get this deal signed on january 15th this phase one trade deal the

01:39:00.900 chinese are sending luhe to washington dc the lead trade negotiator and it'll get signed and the

01:39:06.900 markets will be pleased and tariffs some tariffs will be reduced as a consequence but that's as far as it

01:39:12.480 goes in my view glenn uh this year we're going to have u.s china relations uh deteriorate on a host

01:39:18.920 of fronts we've got this woman from huawei that we haven't been talking about for months but she's about

01:39:23.400 to go through her extradition hearing in canada in just a couple weeks time the week after uh the

01:39:28.580 phase one deal is signed that's much more meaningful for the chinese than the phase one deal if you talk

01:39:33.180 to their leaders you got taiwanese elections this weekend going to move in a more nationalist

01:39:37.620 direction on the back of their solidarity with the demonstrators in hong kong hong kong uh the chinese

01:39:43.240 just appointed um a new liaison uh to manage the region much more hardline and senior than the one they

01:39:51.280 had previously appointed that's clearly not moving in any good direction you've got the uyghurs 1.00

01:39:55.700 um the ethnic minority muslim minority 1.5 million of them in re-education camps frightening and forced

01:40:02.940 labor inside china and congress bipartisan believe it or not one of the few things that they agree on

01:40:09.360 in congress right now is we need a hard-aligned policy on china and trump signed it even though he

01:40:14.180 didn't really want to because he thought it might screw up his trade deal so i mean i think on all of

01:40:18.840 these different issues the u.s china relationship the world's two largest economies in the world are

01:40:23.140 actually heading towards more confrontation this year and do you see that becoming a cold war kind

01:40:32.040 of scenario or i mean you know if if hong kong falls taiwan is next and do we just let that happen

01:40:40.480 or is it a cold war or a hot war possibility that is on the horizon in the years to come

01:40:47.040 we're not going to intervene in hong kong uh at all and i think we're still very far from military

01:40:55.060 confrontation over taiwan or over the south china sea for example where we all have a lot of military

01:41:01.760 assets and territories contested but there is a cold war that's already here when we talk about

01:41:07.640 technology uh and and even the language that xi jinping uses this idea of a long march that they are

01:41:14.320 now on in uh building ai supremacy by 2030 the chinese have decided to decouple their technology 1.00

01:41:23.740 systems their algorithms their big data their cloud from that of the united states and you know if you

01:41:30.760 listen to bill gates or steve pinker any of the people that are more optimistic about the future of

01:41:35.320 the world the reason they give you for that optimism fundamentally is globalization is because ideas

01:41:40.100 and people and goods and services have moved faster and faster across borders over the last

01:41:46.420 generations right really post world war ii right and suddenly we're taking a very significant step in

01:41:54.280 the other direction for the first time really in your in my lifetimes we're seeing that happen

01:41:58.740 um where um the the the future of the global economy is being divided into two

01:42:04.520 a u.s sphere and a chinese sphere um and uh and that clearly that does have elements of real cold

01:42:11.440 war because in in trade we can fight with the chinese but ultimately we do want to trade more 0.98

01:42:16.140 with them they want to trade more with us they want to buy more treasuries we want their economy

01:42:19.800 succeed because it's good for us when we decouple our tech systems from each other we want their tech

01:42:25.060 system to fail it becomes a security type competition between the two and so for me when i think about

01:42:31.900 cold war it's when two major powers literally are are pushing for the collapse of the other

01:42:37.860 yeah collapse of the other that and i think that's the definition i think that's where we now

01:42:43.000 are in technology we weren't there a year ago we were heading in that direction but we're there now

01:42:47.860 ian bremer political scientist author of us versus them the failure of globalism uh and his top risks

01:42:54.660 for 2020 it's a fascinating uh read you can uh you can find it at ian bremer.com you can also follow

01:43:02.060 him at ian bremer uh thank you so much ian appreciate it always good to be with you glenn happy

01:43:07.200 you bet bye-bye

01:43:07.880 so you've seen the price of gold

01:43:11.980 as we become more unstable gold will continue to go up it's at the highest it's been and i don't know

01:43:22.100 how long um and that's because look at the news and depending on who gets the nomination

01:43:30.960 for the democratic party it could go through the roof now i don't buy it as a as a you know

01:43:40.140 lottery ticket i buy it as a hedge against insanity and when the world stops moving towards insanity

01:43:47.920 i'll stop buying gold and i buy my gold from gold line they've been in business for like 55 60 years

01:43:54.600 now and they're the best in the business it's goldline.com call them and ask them about their

01:44:01.840 1880 five and a half dollar liberties they're extremely popular right now for diversification

01:44:08.120 and as a protection tool i have them they're absolutely great they're in really good condition

01:44:14.320 for being you know 140 year old uh coins but call the account executive right now at goldline

01:44:21.580 goldline.com or call them at 866 goldline they're waiting for your call don't wait another day as

01:44:28.800 things become more and more unstable 866 goldline 1-866 goldliner goldline.com

01:44:34.880 we break for 10 seconds station id

01:44:37.120 i'd love to have him uh i'd love to have him back because he talks a lot about technology

01:44:54.520 um and and i think you know i i've i've wondered lately why are we even talking about socialized

01:45:02.220 medicine right now why are we really talking about even overhauling anything because medicine

01:45:10.000 entirely is going to change in the next 10 years by the time we implement all of the stuff that

01:45:16.900 anybody would want to do the the whole system is going to change we're all going to have a like a

01:45:24.920 google doctor or an amazon doctor we will and you'll have your health appointments you won't have to go to

01:45:31.400 the the local health center you'll you'll have a a system in your house that will be able to

01:45:38.860 diagnose most things and be able to say you should go to the hospital now and in 10 years i believe

01:45:45.120 you're going to ask your favorite doctor if it's something serious okay yeah that's great okay you think

01:45:51.760 i have cancer and you think i can survive what does the ai say about it because this is going to be

01:45:58.460 faster and better well and if you're right it's really a question of what you're trying to get

01:46:04.580 done if you're right then and you are concerned about universal health care for reasons more about

01:46:11.880 control than you are about actual health you better get it done right now correct you better get it done

01:46:18.840 because you free up everybody you free up everybody they don't have to depend on you anymore no you'll i mean

01:46:23.740 we will have ai surgeons and they will be more accurate than crazy it's crazy but i mean like it's

01:46:31.820 the same thing of like if we would have said 15 years ago hey you're gonna get in a bunch of

01:46:36.700 strangers cars you're gonna go on your phone and press a button and then a stranger's car is gonna

01:46:40.380 pull up and they're gonna drive you wherever you want you'd say that was insane completely nuts right

01:46:45.360 and now uber and lyft and everything else like it it does happen really fast these days you you just

01:46:52.880 you just i mean it's all the the the ai doctor is already here it's already in in practice uh no i

01:47:02.240 shouldn't say in practice it's already running parallel in practice in places like new york just for

01:47:09.280 cancer and when you have the ability to input all of the cases of cancer eventually all over the world

01:47:17.080 it's already i think 15 i think it's like 75 accurate where the average doctor is maybe

01:47:28.120 55 accurate uh it's catching it faster it is the future you're listening to glenn beck

01:47:39.280 well we don't have ai doctors quite yet and maybe it won't be uncomfortable to talk to ai

01:47:44.720 doctors about some of the more difficult health things that go on whether it's hair loss or ed or

01:49:26.540 or you are a uh construction worker or digging ditches for a living i think you will agree with

01:49:33.400 me that being a uh an american political uh scientist and a professor that believes in god

01:49:43.380 and the founding of our nation and you're you're centered in a university in oregon i might i might

01:49:50.840 at times think he has a uh a worse job than the guy on the roof in the in the middle of uh summer

01:49:57.420 in phoenix his name is mark david hall he's a political science professor at george fox university

01:50:03.340 his research and writing focuses on american political theory and the relationship between

01:50:08.300 religion and politics he is not afraid to say in fact he's published a new book called did america

01:50:16.200 have a christian uh founding the answer to that is absolutely yes it did yeah um how did this get

01:50:26.020 so distorted over the years when did this really start to people now believe that our our founders

01:50:32.920 were deists but a deist believes that there is a god but he's like a watchmaker and he built the watch

01:50:39.860 set the watch and now he doesn't he doesn't care he has nothing to do with it anymore but our founders

01:50:44.780 all of their washington he writes about miracles he writes about divine providence how is that

01:50:53.600 how is that misunderstood you know that's a great question i think these debates began in the 19th

01:50:58.800 century but really in the 20th century when we started getting a bunch of secular progressive

01:51:02.720 academics they just wrote book after book saying most of the founders were deists they created a 0.55

01:51:08.460 godless constitution they wanted a wall of separation between church and state and they just kept

01:51:13.600 repeating these same lines so many times that people have come to believe it's true so where

01:51:18.100 was our founding was our founding in uh jamestown or is our founding in in plymouth that's a great

01:51:25.280 question so i um began by looking at three different possibilities one is the early colonial settlements

01:51:30.600 and if that's what we mean by founding then i think indisputably we had a christian founding the

01:51:34.940 puritans came here of course to create christian commonwealths but even if you look to the south

01:51:39.380 the virginia laws of 1610 say everyone must go to church blasphemy will be punished by death and so

01:51:45.800 forth so i think all the early colonial settlements were very concerned with the things of god when you

01:51:51.460 move up to what we usually think about the late 18th century the war for american independence

01:51:55.580 the creation of our constitutional order there the case becomes a little more difficult so most of my

01:52:00.580 book focuses in fact in the late 18th century so um where did that come from and what were we based

01:52:06.660 on what were they really trying to do well that's a great way of phrasing the question sometimes people

01:52:11.540 look at this and they say okay what i want to do is argue that all of america's founders were good

01:52:16.420 godly pious christians i don't take that approach first of all we know some of them were heretics

01:52:21.800 that jefferson and adams and franklin departed from the the basic tenets of orthodox christianity

01:52:27.960 but then in many cases we simply do not have the records we might know that someone was a member of

01:52:32.740 this church maybe even that he attended church but that really doesn't tell us much about his heart

01:52:37.420 or about even his orthodoxy right so what i look at instead is the ideas that influenced the american

01:52:43.040 founders and i argue that they were influenced by christian ideas or ideas developed in the christian

01:52:48.040 tradition of political reflection and they drew from these ideas when they broke from great britain

01:52:53.380 when they created our constitutional order and so therefore america had a christian founding do you

01:52:58.320 believe in the covenant do you believe that there was a covenant made in in plymouth and one with

01:53:03.260 washington and lincoln oh i don't imagine how you could look at america's founding from the early

01:53:08.660 colonial settlements to the late 18th century without understanding the importance of covenants these folks

01:53:14.020 all believed in the importance of covenant a covenant of course is an agreement between two parties

01:53:19.340 with god as a witness and these folks almost solely thought in terms of covenants um the may from the

01:53:25.200 mayflower compact on really to the late 18th century and then into the present day and what

01:53:30.700 does that mean what what makes that different than a contract i think a contract of course still should

01:53:36.520 be binding but the way we treat contracts you know if you're a football player with a good season

01:53:40.580 um you might throw your contract out the window and renegotiate the idea of a covenant a marriage is a

01:53:45.820 great example right right when you join when a man joins with a woman you make a promise before the

01:53:51.020 eyes of god and really this this thing should not be ripped asunder or at least it's a very very

01:53:56.220 serious thing right before one would even contemplate breaking that covenant and so when our pilgrims came

01:54:02.140 um i'm fascinated i've just found an old map um that was uh made by the uh librarian of congress

01:54:12.820 congress in i think 1870 or 1865 and it was it was the roots of jamestown that brought slavery and uh brought

01:54:26.960 um corruption and um and division and the pilgrims founding and that tree gave us you know uh humility

01:54:39.140 and honor etc etc and it's my understanding that they were arguing back and forth before the civil war

01:54:47.500 which which one are we and i think we're having that same argument now aren't we i think there's a

01:54:53.180 lot of truth in that although i do argue and push back a little bit that i think the southern colonies

01:54:58.100 were more concerned with the things of god than oftentimes 19th and 20th century historians give them

01:55:03.340 credit for being but indisputably new england was the center of american intellectual life our

01:55:09.060 best colleges were there many of our best leaders came from there and i think you cannot understand

01:55:14.740 america as alexis toqueville found when he came to america in the 1930s without understanding the

01:55:20.380 puritan influence so we're more broadly the reformed or the calvinist influence and the arguments that even

01:55:26.220 we have today were happening back then just on different topics theirs was slavery but our our founders

01:55:32.740 get such a bad rap many of our founders were religiously bound to end slavery that's exactly

01:55:44.180 right i in the initial draft of this book i addressed that briefly in the conclusion and my publisher and

01:55:50.400 i agreed to pull that section out and i'll have a sequel to this book coming out that will have a

01:55:54.600 whole chapter on the founders and slavery and i think it's you know we need to be critical of our own

01:55:58.920 tradition sure and we can be critical of slavery it was a horrible unjust institution well you're

01:56:04.760 exactly right many founders were coming to recognize that it's incompatible with the basic

01:56:08.780 christian idea that all humans are created in the imago dei the image of god many were already working

01:56:14.500 for its abolition many states voluntarily abolished slavery between 1776 and 1804 that the direction

01:56:21.000 was definitely heading towards abolitionism unfortunately eli whitney invented the cotton gin

01:56:26.420 and gave slavery a lease on life so um if the founders could come back i've always believed that

01:56:34.340 the founders would come back and they would say huh so how long did the constitution last

01:56:39.780 because i i don't think they'd recognize us now at all do you think that they would be

01:56:46.740 uh how would they react today they would be absolutely flabbergasted i think since the 1930s

01:56:54.220 of course the um congress and the supreme court have a lot of federalism be tossed out the window 0.60

01:56:59.360 the national government can pretty much do anything it wants i think literally all the founders with

01:57:04.880 the possible exception of alexander hamilton and james wilson would say this is insane you are giving far

01:57:10.280 too much power to the national government we must rein things in things like education and the

01:57:15.420 punishing of crimes and the promotion of virtue these things belong at the state level or the local

01:57:20.160 level the national government should have nothing to do with these things do you see us turning

01:57:24.560 around as a historian what's it going to take to turn us around you know i tend to be an optimist and

01:57:30.820 i'm not very happy with the direction we've been heading since the 1930s but but i'm hopeful and one of the

01:57:35.580 things i do in this book is i say that we need to look at the basic principles that motivated america's

01:57:41.080 founders and this should encourage us to return maybe slowly i'm a burkeen conservative so i would say we

01:57:46.180 don't want to overturn things tomorrow but slowly and surely we should start turning things back to

01:57:51.900 the states and then of course even more importantly americans should turn back to god and i think that's

01:57:57.360 where our real hope lies do we make it without that could we become europe and still be america you know

01:58:03.540 that is an excellent question i think america's constitutional order does assume for instance that

01:58:08.860 humans are sinful and so we have important checks on power including power checks that remain today 0.68

01:58:14.220 and so um it's an open question in my mind but for sure america's founders embraced a syllogism that

01:58:20.880 syllogism that if you're to have a republican form of government you must have a moral people and if

01:58:26.060 you're to have a moral people you must have a religious people and by religion they all meant

01:58:29.900 christianity there's no question about that historically uh mark david hulk good luck uh surviving

01:58:36.000 uh oregon uh mark david hall the author of a new book that everyone should have in their library

01:58:42.780 did america have a christian founding it is answered uh it's a legitimate question and answered by

01:58:50.320 mark david hall you can find him at his website at mark david hall.org again the name of the book

01:58:55.480 did america have a christian founding thank you so much sir thank you appreciate it all right

01:59:01.520 let me tell you about uh patriot mobile right now we we are dealing with uh a a system from

01:59:11.520 at&t and verizon that actually they take some of some of the money that you send them and they

01:59:18.360 send it out to support things like planned parenthood abortion open borders i mean it's crazy that we

01:59:26.480 continue just to send them money when you have something that is just as good that doesn't send

01:59:32.840 those things money in fact with their profits uh patriot mobile they take some of their money and they

01:59:39.640 support the first amendment they support the second amendment they support life patriot mobile

01:59:52.260 they're they're only real four cell towers everybody uses the same cell towers and patriot mobile's on the

01:59:58.080 same ones of at&t and verizon so not only do they give you the same great coverage and they don't

02:00:05.100 donate to all of those uh causes that you disagree with but you're going to save money starting at

02:02:38.680 reporting that the u.s is now confident that iran shot down the ukrainian jetliner in the hours after

02:02:46.380 the um the missile strike uh and 176 people were killed including 63 canadians by the way pretty

02:02:55.080 significant uh and percentage there um so they are now they now i mean it seemed to me to be the

02:03:02.100 most logical explanation honestly and now u.s officials believe that that was uh is actually

02:03:07.980 what happened and by mistake they think it's by mistake of course it was of course it was i mean

02:03:12.940 here's this ukrainian airliner that goes out it's 10 miles or 10 minutes eight minutes away from the

02:03:18.020 airport it's leaving the airport and you see the videos now where it's on fire and then it just

02:03:24.900 blows up uh and uh and and crashes and everybody dies it's it's horrible now i'm going to give the

02:03:34.340 iraqis the benefit of the doubt they should be held responsible or iranians they should make 1.00

02:03:38.960 reparations etc etc but it's in the fog of war now nobody would give us that doubt if we had missiles

02:03:46.280 flying in at us and there was a there was a jetliner that was coming our way

02:03:51.380 and in the fog of war somebody's like i don't know what that is it's it's not already it's close

02:03:56.600 close close go go launch that's probably what happened and that kind of stuff does happen and

02:04:03.820 it's horrible somewhat of a test for um canada's blackface wearing prime minister who's now going 0.89

02:04:11.180 to have to deal figure out what to do in this situation now why do you bring up the face the fact

02:04:15.420 that he was blackface uh you know i'm fascinated by oliver peck who was apparently on ink master a

02:04:22.960 judge for 13 seasons he's leaving now because he's had a blackface scandal oh no uh after 13 years uh

02:04:29.980 pictures surfaces surfaced from like his old myspace account apparently which is when did that close

02:04:35.620 down like i don't know 2009 and they had i thought everything got wiped out from that page somehow it

02:04:41.240 resurfaced and there were pictures of him like dressed as maybe like a lakers basketball player

02:04:45.840 in back blackface apparently a superhero of some sort in blackface that's not black that's not the

02:04:51.100 same as a couple different halloween costumes was basically the the explanation and i was i was

02:04:57.500 fascinated by you know because this is what you do when you're writing stories you just include a 0.98

02:05:01.100 bunch of tweets from random people who have opinions on it but listen to this tweet how dumb and racist 0.97

02:05:06.280 can people be uh let's find out ink master star oliver peck is learning the same lesson 0.99

02:05:11.000 justin trudeau learned about blackface why is oliver peck going to be prime minister of canada

02:05:15.460 too does he get re-elected is that what happens because that's what they that's the lesson they've

02:05:18.620 learned if you're if you're liberal enough you're democratic enough if you're progressive enough

02:05:22.860 you can become prime minister of of uh canada and then get re-elected or you can become governor

02:05:28.940 of uh virginia that's all fine no problem at all you keep that job without any issues yeah so the

02:05:35.080 only thing that peck has learned from this is i gotta be progressive and if i'm really really

02:05:41.440 progressive i'll skate by i'll ask jimmy kimmel he's no he's no politician but he's progressive

02:05:47.800 enough to get away with dressing the exact same way in a lakers uniform except on national television

02:05:53.920 in blackface that was totally fine now i don't know about you what company was he working for

02:05:59.820 uh that they were on let's master what's the paramount network

02:06:06.060 fascinating uh because paramount i know america is like hey i want my tattoo artist

02:06:15.700 to be you know somebody that is above reproach because that's what you think of when you think

02:06:22.400 of tattoo artists and so above reports that they can't even make themselves into a superhero

02:06:29.280 a super black superhero no that's this is this is insane the double standard
