The Glenn Beck Program - Virginians Echo MLK ｜ Guests： Alan Dershowitz & Burgess Owens ｜ 1⧸20⧸20

00:00:00.000 It is Monday. It's Martin Luther King Day.

00:00:04.520 We are on the job today because we wanted to make sure that we cover Virginia.

00:00:10.340 And we have two, three people on the ground in Virginia today to cover it,

00:00:16.580 to make sure that we get the story right,

00:00:19.900 unlike I think the media is going to do on this today.

00:00:23.480 I think they'll do a great job.

00:00:24.900 I think their coverage is going to be accurate.

00:00:26.500 It's going to be well balanced.

00:00:27.460 Oh, yeah.

00:00:28.080 It's going to be nuanced in the understanding of the Second Amendment.

00:00:30.600 Well, they've already called them just yesterday.

00:00:32.940 It's a gathering of white supremacists.

00:00:37.840 I mean, technically a gathering only needs to be two.

00:00:40.540 So there's probably two.

00:00:42.760 Even if they're like vendors, like hot dog vendors that work nearby.

00:00:45.180 Right, right.

00:00:46.060 It'll be at least two.

00:00:46.960 And if you're there or going to the rally, we'd like to talk to you today.

00:00:50.840 And we'll keep our phones open.

00:00:52.660 We have Steve Dace on today to talk about the Iowa caucus.

00:00:56.020 Boy, did Nancy Pelosi screw everybody except really, strangely, Bernie Sanders. 0.99

00:01:01.880 Isn't that weird?

00:01:02.900 Burgess Owens is going to be with us.

00:01:04.240 John.

00:01:04.580 Joe Biden, you mean.

00:01:05.440 Yeah, Joe Biden.

00:01:07.520 John Miller will be with us.

00:01:08.860 Alan Dershowitz coming up in just a second.

00:01:10.900 And we start with Martin Luther King and Virginia in just a minute.

00:01:14.940 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:37.340 We will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, 0.82

00:01:59.120 will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, free at last, free at last.

00:02:07.580 Thank God Almighty.

00:02:09.140 We are free at last.

00:02:10.180 Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

00:02:29.920 Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

00:02:39.520 And I've seen the promised land.

00:02:44.200 I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.

00:02:54.020 For centuries, man's freedom has been crushed.

00:03:24.020 In the days of Solomon, he decried that man could learn too much, that one shouldn't dig too deeply nor read too often,

00:03:39.220 saying that too much reading led to the weariness of the flesh,

00:03:43.560 that the search for knowledge is where Adam and Eve went wrong,

00:03:47.780 thus proving that learning leads to man's downfall or his sin.

00:03:54.680 St. Paul, centuries later, said basically the same thing.

00:03:59.440 In 1500, Francis Bacon wrote to the king trying to convince him that man could never learn too much,

00:04:06.320 that knowledge could not somehow also contain the serpent.

00:04:10.400 Yet free thought continued to be squashed.

00:04:14.520 Immanuel Kant, the man who first described the Milky Way as a collection of suns in the fashion that we now know it,

00:04:21.380 wrote in 1760,

00:04:23.600 There are many things that I believe that I shall never say,

00:04:27.760 but I shall never say the things that I do not believe.

00:04:32.760 The Courage to Speak One's Mind

00:04:35.580 In 1760, our most precious freedom, the freedom of thought, had not yet been born.

00:04:45.500 Yet, just a few years later, on the other side of the globe,

00:04:49.920 sat a man alone in a hotel room,

00:04:52.880 his wife dying in bed hundreds of miles away from him.

00:04:56.280 As he scratched words on paper,

00:04:59.620 we find these truths to be self-evident,

00:05:03.100 that all men are created equal,

00:05:05.940 with certain unalienable rights given to them by their creator,

00:05:10.720 among them life, liberty, and property.

00:05:14.940 It was later changed to

00:05:16.500 I'm not sure if we really understand the impact of those words.

00:05:29.140 Man has never been as free to think as man is now.

00:05:34.040 The Chinese dissidents didn't make a statue of liberty in Tiananmen Square out of happenstance.

00:05:40.240 Americans changed the world.

00:05:42.440 Our freedom of thought allowed men to discover electricity,

00:05:46.760 the light bulb, the car, the phone, the motion picture,

00:05:49.400 the radio, the television, the computer,

00:05:51.900 to put a man on the moon.

00:05:53.220 Which of these men will be first to orbit the Earth?

00:05:56.940 I cannot tell you.

00:05:58.060 And a spacecraft on Mars.

00:05:59.960 Touchdown confirmed. We're safe on Mars.

00:06:02.680 It was in the American century

00:06:04.680 that the theory of relativity was conceived,

00:06:07.740 leading Einstein to say,

00:06:10.160 the thing that strikes me about America

00:06:12.200 is the joyous, positive attitude to life.

00:06:16.420 The smile on the faces of the people

00:06:18.220 is one of the greatest assets of the American.

00:06:21.340 He's friendly, self-confident, optimistic,

00:06:24.240 and without envy.

00:06:26.440 The American lives more for his goals, 0.94

00:06:29.300 for the future.

00:06:31.900 Life for him is always becoming,

00:06:35.360 never being.

00:06:37.820 His emphasis is laid on the we 0.94

00:06:40.180 and never the I.

00:06:42.200 So today, as we are free to celebrate,

00:06:47.700 relax, think, read, say anything,

00:06:50.980 ask yourself this,

00:06:52.820 are we still more about the goals for the future?

00:06:56.600 Is life for us always about becoming and never being?

00:07:01.120 And are we still part of the we and not the I?

00:07:07.500 You know, when Jefferson first wrote those words,

00:07:11.000 they were words of treason and certain execution.

00:07:14.340 But today they are free to echo throughout the land

00:07:18.800 as words of the American spirit and our hope

00:07:22.120 that we do hold these truths to be self-evident,

00:07:26.720 that all men are created equal

00:07:29.020 and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights,

00:07:33.020 and among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:07:37.360 And in support of this declaration,

00:07:40.480 with firm reliance on the protection of divine providence,

00:07:45.860 we mutually pledge to each other

00:07:48.180 our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

00:07:52.960 Our founders changed the world with those few words.

00:07:59.680 And over 200 years later,

00:08:01.800 a black preacher from the South,

00:08:04.960 Dr. Martin Luther King,

00:08:06.900 helped make sure that the promise of liberty

00:08:09.440 was real for all Americans.

00:08:12.000 Free at last.

00:08:15.120 Free at last.

00:08:16.480 Free at last.

00:08:17.820 Free at last.

00:08:19.220 Thank God Almighty.

00:08:20.600 Thank God Almighty.

00:08:22.800 We are free at last.

00:08:24.760 We are free at last.

00:08:28.740 Welcome to the program.

00:08:30.400 It is Martin Luther King Day,

00:08:32.700 and we're going to go to Virginia here in just a second.

00:08:35.140 Let me give you a one-minute commercial quickly,

00:08:36.960 and then we'll go right to Virginia.

00:08:39.200 We welcome back to the program to Covis Boots.

00:08:43.680 You know, they just took a survey

00:08:47.260 on what the American footwear is.

00:08:49.820 What is the American shoe?

00:08:53.940 And it is the cowboy boot.

00:08:56.000 And there's something about the cowboy boot

00:08:58.300 that is universal,

00:09:00.240 and it's an attitude.

00:09:02.920 And it's not an attitude like,

00:09:04.980 hey, dig me.

00:09:06.240 Those are people that are wearing 0.74

00:09:08.060 the cheap, fake cowboy boots,

00:09:10.180 you know, and they're just wearing them out

00:09:12.100 on Friday night.

00:09:13.040 A cowboy boot is something of quality

00:09:15.260 and integrity.

00:09:17.220 It's a...

00:09:17.860 A cowboy is a promise and a handshake.

00:09:22.360 That's what it is.

00:09:23.660 And that's the way the Covis

00:09:25.240 makes their cowboy boots.

00:09:27.880 There's a certain type of person

00:09:29.680 walking around the stage of this old world,

00:09:32.600 and he's the cowboy in all of us.

00:09:35.000 He is hard-working, filled with grit,

00:09:37.820 determined to see the world

00:09:39.200 through a certain lens,

00:09:40.820 and that's Tecovis.

00:09:43.660 When you put a pair of Tecovis boots on,

00:09:46.480 that cowboy is you.

00:09:48.980 You find your frontier.

00:09:51.160 You do everything.

00:09:52.400 You do what you know is right.

00:09:54.880 You do it at the best of your ability,

00:09:57.360 and you don't cut corners.

00:09:58.860 And that's the way Tecovis makes their boots.

00:10:02.420 Over 200 handmade steps

00:10:05.420 that have to be taken

00:10:06.860 in every pair of Tecovis boots.

00:10:09.460 But the other thing about cowboys is

00:10:11.280 they don't pay high prices.

00:10:13.340 They don't...

00:10:14.080 They look for the right deal.

00:10:16.860 So, go find the frontier inside of you.

00:11:11.060 He's the host of Bearing Arms,

00:11:12.520 Cam and Company, 0.97

00:11:13.680 and co-host of 40 Acres and a Fool.

00:11:15.800 It can be heard here on Blaze Radio and TV Network.

00:11:19.880 Just go to blazetv.com and sign up now.

00:11:23.520 Cam is in Virginia,

00:11:25.340 and he's actually at the state capitol

00:11:27.940 where they have just started screening people for security

00:11:31.160 to be able to get in.

00:11:32.420 He's also going to be speaking today in front of the capitol.

00:11:36.380 Welcome to the program, Cam.

00:11:37.740 How are you?

00:11:39.180 I'm good, Glenn.

00:11:40.240 Thanks so much for having me back.

00:11:41.600 So, when I was in Israel,

00:11:44.060 and I was doing a big project over there called Restoring Courage,

00:11:49.020 the State Department was very well aware,

00:11:51.640 and George Soros was very aware of what we were doing,

00:11:54.160 and they did everything they could to discourage people from coming.

00:11:58.520 The State Department actually issued the day of.

00:12:02.160 All Americans should not be anywhere near the Temple Mount 1.00

00:12:05.920 because of security on that day.

00:12:08.800 I feel like the same thing is being done in Virginia.

00:12:12.920 Is there a real sense of foreboding and danger there,

00:12:17.580 or do you think this is hype?

00:12:20.040 You know, honestly, Glenn, I've got to tell you,

00:12:21.900 I mean, there are tens of thousands of Virginians

00:12:24.420 that are downtown right now,

00:12:25.820 and the mood here is not one of fear and foreboding.

00:12:29.860 You've got a lot of folks with smiles on their faces.

00:12:32.260 They're energized to see their fellow gun owners.

00:12:34.700 I talked with folks from Lebanon, Virginia,

00:12:36.720 which is about a six-hour drive from Richmond.

00:12:38.900 They headed out last night and arrived.

00:12:40.980 There are folks coming in from all across the state

00:12:43.780 and really even, you know, all across the country.

00:12:45.820 I talked to the gentleman who drove up from North Carolina,

00:12:48.100 not to start any trouble,

00:12:49.100 but because he wanted to stand with Virginians

00:12:50.840 in support of their Second Amendment rights.

00:12:52.580 And, you know, so far, that is what we have seen here.

00:12:55.660 There are several thousand people on the grounds of the state capitol.

00:12:58.800 There are far more surrounding the state capitol

00:13:02.020 outside of that security perimeter.

00:13:04.080 But everybody has been peaceful.

00:13:06.060 Everybody has been calm,

00:13:07.940 and everybody is hoping to send that message

00:13:11.220 to Governor Ralph Northam

00:13:12.500 that his gun control agenda is a huge mistake,

00:13:15.860 and Virginians want no part of it.

00:13:18.020 So, Cam, you say there's a lot more people

00:13:20.680 outside of the security perimeter.

00:13:22.740 Are they coming in?

00:13:24.100 Are they out because they are carrying weapons?

00:13:30.060 Tell me what's...

00:13:30.880 I think it's a mix of both.

00:13:32.120 There is a long line to get in.

00:13:34.400 There is one entrance into the capitol.

00:13:36.620 There are multiple magnetometers set up by the capitol police.

00:13:40.580 The folks are being screened as they go in.

00:13:42.160 And there is a steady stream of folks coming in.

00:13:44.760 But, yes, outside of that perimeter,

00:13:46.500 there are a lot of folks who are carrying, either concealed.

00:13:49.980 I have seen a number of folks who are open carrying rifles.

00:13:53.580 You know, and it's...

00:13:54.680 Glenn, it's a very broad crowd.

00:13:57.640 I mean, you've got moms and dads who are here with their kids.

00:14:00.160 You've got folks who are, you know, up in their militia outfits.

00:14:04.600 You've got, you know, black, white, young, old. 0.98

00:14:07.320 It really is a cross-section of Virginia.

00:14:10.080 But everybody's getting along, and I think everybody is here.

00:14:12.960 I believe the vast, vast majority of the folks here are here for that one purpose,

00:14:17.820 to lobby lawmakers to oppose what Ralph Northam's trying to do.

00:14:22.620 Cam, thank you very much.

00:14:24.000 I appreciate it.

00:14:24.520 We'll check in with you later.

00:14:25.880 You're host of Bearing Arms, Cam & Company, and 40 Acres and a Fool, heard on Blaze TV.

00:14:32.320 Thank you so much.

00:14:33.380 Appreciate it, Cam.

00:14:34.400 Thanks, man.

00:14:37.060 Let's...

00:14:37.780 Let me tell you about a sponsor of ours.

00:14:40.480 It's American Financing.

00:14:41.800 If you have unmanageable credit cards, you have a job layoff or a medical emergency or car trouble,

00:14:49.040 all of these things, they can happen even in a perfect world.

00:14:53.100 But we don't live in a perfect world, so they are going to happen.

00:14:55.880 And debt tends to feed on itself.

00:14:58.000 And when you're carrying even a heavier burden on your shoulders, it can be easy to lose hope.

00:15:02.200 But don't do that.

00:15:03.780 Don't lose hope.

00:15:04.480 You're not alone.

00:15:06.260 Make today the day you choose to do something about it.

00:15:09.140 If you take 10 minutes out of your day, you can get a free mortgage review from the good people over at American Financing.

00:15:15.680 Learn how you can refinance your debt to pay down your mortgage.

00:15:20.440 If you do, you're apt to get a much lower interest rate.

00:15:22.940 And here's the best part.

00:15:24.360 You'll have only one month payment.

00:15:25.960 You'll only have one monthly payment to focus on.

00:15:32.000 So, in other words, you don't have to worry about all those credit card bills because they're all going to be rolled into one.

00:15:37.740 And it's going to be a lot less expensive.

00:15:40.060 By the way, for homeowners who got loans in 2018 or earlier, refinancing now could save hundreds of dollars per month on your mortgage.

00:15:49.200 If you bought your house in 2018, yes.

00:15:52.560 American Financing.

00:15:53.580 Family-owned.

00:15:54.280 Their salary-based mortgage consultants work for you and not the bank.

00:15:57.220 Call American Financing at 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.

00:16:04.320 American Financing Corporation, NMLS, 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

00:16:11.340 All right, let's break for 10 seconds. 0.96

00:16:12.560 Station ID.

00:16:24.200 Alan Dershowitz is going to join us here in just a couple of minutes.

00:16:27.220 With the latest, he's been appointed to the Trump team for impeachment.

00:16:32.960 He's said some things that I guess are very controversial.

00:16:36.580 I don't see the controversy in them, but we're going to talk to him coming up in a second.

00:16:40.420 First, let me go to George in Virginia.

00:16:42.860 Hello, George.

00:16:43.640 Welcome.

00:16:45.200 Hey, good morning, Glenn.

00:16:46.400 My dad's name was Glenn.

00:16:47.940 He died at age 400, and I still miss him every day.

00:16:51.160 Wow, thank you.

00:16:51.780 Anyway, I marched with Martin Luther King back in August of 1964.

00:16:57.980 And if you were back in that era, he seemed fairly radical, but compared to today's people, he would have been thrown out.

00:17:08.820 He wasn't nearly radical enough.

00:17:10.500 But would you like to know what he told us when we marched with him?

00:17:14.200 You marched with him.

00:17:17.700 Yeah, back in 1964.

00:17:20.080 The Democrat presidential convention was in Atlantic City.

00:17:26.040 I was a waiter in Atlantic City.

00:17:27.700 One of my black waiter friends said, George, you want to do something interesting today after we get off?

00:17:34.640 I said, what are we going to do?

00:17:36.140 And he said, Dr. Martin Luther King is in town.

00:17:40.100 I'm going to go, and we're going to march with him.

00:17:42.160 You want to come?

00:17:43.240 I said, yeah.

00:17:44.020 He said, a little caveat here. 0.94

00:17:45.840 You might get hit on the head by a club.

00:17:48.080 I said, well, I won't like that.

00:17:51.740 Anyway, he said, you have to obey the rules.

00:17:53.740 And I said, what are they?

00:17:55.040 And he said, well, Dr. King will give them to us.

00:17:57.500 So the first thing they said, you have $2 in your pocket if you don't supply them.

00:18:03.980 And that was because you couldn't be arrested and charged with vagrancy if you had at least $2.

00:18:10.160 And he told us no profanity, no vulgarity on our signs.

00:18:16.140 And if we got hit, we weren't allowed to hit back. 0.98

00:18:19.360 I thought, oh, that really sucks. 0.96

00:18:21.060 Yeah. 0.96

00:18:21.580 But at any rate, there were probably 200 or so of us.

00:18:27.620 And it was a memorable experience.

00:18:31.560 You a white guy?

00:18:34.120 Yeah, I'm white.

00:18:35.420 Yeah.

00:18:36.260 76-year-old, old white guy.

00:18:38.140 Wow.

00:18:39.500 How are you feeling about that now, huh? 0.99

00:18:41.460 Because it's old white guys that are the problem. 1.00

00:18:45.700 I'm supposed to be in Richmond today with my people. 0.97

00:18:48.720 But my doctor, I have bronchitis.

00:18:51.780 And I don't know how I got it, but I'm usually very healthy.

00:18:54.640 But he said, you go down on Monday, you'll come back Tuesday and die. 0.90

00:18:58.900 Wow. 0.96

00:18:59.520 Well, I'm glad you're staying at home then, George.

00:19:01.820 Yeah.

00:19:02.360 God bless you.

00:19:02.980 Thank you so much.

00:19:04.040 Thank you for sharing that.

00:19:04.940 It's amazing how Martin Luther King has now become more of a hero of the right than the left.

00:19:16.300 Yeah.

00:19:17.820 I mean, I think part of that is we've looked at it as sort of the things he was saying rather than the idea of someone who's offering radical change, right?

00:19:27.600 Right.

00:19:27.820 And, you know, it's interesting in that, like, the big problem with racism pre-Martin Luther King, right, is that people make race too important, right?

00:19:38.960 White people who were racists back in the day were the people who were saying white identity is important. 0.76

00:19:48.060 And the same thing, of course, exists today in whatever white supremacist tiny, you know, sects there are and the alt-right and everything else. 0.98

00:19:56.580 And I would say that it also exists in the African-American community in small sects as well, where they hate white people. 0.96

00:20:06.160 Black Panthers and such. 0.98

00:20:07.800 Black Panthers and such.

00:20:37.800 And that's something considered when interacting with other human beings.

00:20:41.160 This was more Malcolm X than Martin Luther King. 0.98

00:20:44.260 That's what Malcolm X thought, you know, get the white devils. 0.93

00:20:48.360 And that doesn't succeed.

00:20:50.460 And I don't know when the left is going to get that.

00:20:54.340 Probably never because they really, they are filled with a lot of rage and a lot of hatred and a lot of misconceptions about what's real and what's not.

00:21:05.600 Yeah, I mean, the goal is supposed to be you don't base relationships on these immutable characteristics, right?

00:21:12.500 You don't base it on whatever sexual orientation or gender or these things are supposed to fade away and you're supposed to you're supposed to treat people as individuals.

00:21:20.900 Well, that's a terrible message for today's collectivist, right?

00:21:24.680 You can't be you can't be treating people as individuals if you're a collectivist.

00:21:27.940 The whole point of this is to put people into groups and mass summarize them and say this group is evil and this group is evil and this group is evil.

00:21:35.820 They just want to change the groups around, which doesn't solve the problem at all.

00:21:39.240 No, it just makes it worse.

00:21:40.140 This makes it worse.

00:21:40.740 You're going to go now into, what, 400 years of reverse racism and the pattern continues.

00:21:47.500 We I think we were on the right track.

00:21:49.520 I think we really had a few years of being on the right track where my generation, your generation, we don't see color. 0.96

00:21:59.820 And now we're being taught that we have to see color and no, wait, that's the opposite of what Martin Luther King.

00:22:07.900 And I really think that a lot of people, both black and white, thought we were we were not perfect, but we were moving in the right direction.

00:22:17.100 And I will tell you now, 10 years, 15 years later, I think people would say we're moving in the wrong direction.

00:22:23.820 Yeah, remember when Barack Obama was elected, everyone was told this is going to be a post-racial presidency.

00:22:30.140 The opposite has happened.

00:22:31.360 Yeah.

00:22:31.820 In fact, I don't even think they would embrace that terminology anymore.

00:22:34.980 They wouldn't want it to be something where we didn't notice race.

00:22:37.460 That's bad now.

00:22:38.300 No, it's amazing.

00:22:40.300 All right.

00:22:40.940 We have Alan Dershowitz on with us.

00:22:43.460 He is on the Trump team to go in and fight starting tomorrow.

00:22:48.940 This impeachment will get the strategy.

00:22:52.400 And his latest controversy next.

00:22:57.900 Buy one, get one.

00:22:59.660 Nothing better.

00:23:01.000 There's something almost mischievous about it, like you're pulling a fast one.

00:23:04.900 However, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to Mike Lindell's latest offer, a buy one, get one on his sets of Giza dream sheets.

00:23:11.880 These are the best.

00:23:14.580 Mike knows what he's doing.

00:24:19.980 He absolutely is entitled to the best constitutional defense he can get.

00:24:46.340 What he's not entitled to is Alan pretending like he's some sort of neutral observer instead of what he is, which is Donald Trump's lawyer.

00:24:55.840 For some reason, you don't want to admit that, and that's up to you.

00:25:00.960 But you are pretending that there is some sort of perfect constitutional sweet spot.

00:25:07.180 It doesn't have to be a crime, but it can't be simply being a bad president.

00:25:12.960 That there is some magical area in there that is an impeachable offense.

00:25:16.920 And I think, straightforwardly, that abuse of power, the framers recognized it.

00:25:24.200 That's what's the issue in this case.

00:25:26.120 And the senators are perfectly capable of determining whether what the president did is a violation of his own.

00:25:33.160 Alan Dershowitz is here.

00:25:35.060 And I want to ask you, Alan, maybe I've missed this, but they're not accusing him of abuse of power.

00:25:40.960 Are they? They're saying that he refused to acquiesce to Congress.

00:25:49.120 Well, there are two articles of impeachment.

00:25:51.960 The second is obstruction of Congress, and that's just a false accusation.

00:25:56.740 It's a separate branch.

00:25:58.740 It's a separate branch.

00:26:00.140 The president's entitled to leave it to the courts to decide whether or not members of the executive have to comply with subpoenas.

00:26:06.900 But they do also charge him in the Ukraine matter with abuse of power.

00:26:11.020 But abuse of power was discussed by the framers.

00:26:13.880 It was given as a reason why we should have impeachment in the Constitution at all.

00:26:19.060 But then when it came to coming up with criteria for impeachment, the framers refused to include abuse of power because it was too broad, too open-ended.

00:26:27.300 And in the words of James Madison, who's the father of our Constitution, would leave presidents to serve at the will of Congress.

00:26:35.640 And that's exactly what the framers didn't want, which is why they were very specific and said a president can be impeached only for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

00:26:47.320 Misdemeanors are crimes.

00:26:48.320 And according to Blackstone, whose book was the most influential one at the time, a misdemeanor is a species of crime.

00:26:56.600 We think of it now like jaywalking, but that's not what it was meant at the time.

00:27:01.320 No, misdemeanor.

00:27:02.560 In fact, at common law, there was such a thing as a capital misdemeanor.

00:27:06.440 A person could be executed.

00:27:08.400 For example, if somebody shot the king's deer in the king's park, that would be regarded as a misdemeanor.

00:27:15.760 But he could lose his head over it.

00:27:17.500 It's just that his blood wouldn't be attainted.

00:27:19.920 His family wouldn't be suffering because it wasn't a felony.

00:27:24.460 But those misdemeanors could be very, very serious.

00:27:27.340 They also included things like maladministration, but the frame is explicitly rejected.

00:27:33.400 There was actually a vote on maladministration, and it went down, I think, 9 to 2 or something like that.

00:27:40.320 And then the person who offered that amendment withdrew it and substituted high crimes and misdemeanors.

00:27:46.780 I've now read, I think, every word of every framer debating impeachment.

00:27:52.920 And I've also, of course, read the Federalist Papers, and I've read the statements made by the lawyers in the trial of Andrew Johnson.

00:28:00.360 And I think I'm pretty well prepared to help inform the senators.

00:28:05.180 Jeffrey Toobin seems to think somehow it's a sin for me to be presenting my case to the Senate because I'm not involved in every aspect of the trial.

00:28:18.460 Very often I come into a case as of counsel on the constitutional issues.

00:28:22.980 And I don't get involved in the day-to-day issues in the case, but I just present on the constitutional issues.

00:28:30.200 And that's precisely what I'm doing in this case.

00:28:32.320 It's consistent with what I've done in many, many other prior cases.

00:28:36.120 And there's nothing unusual about it.

00:28:38.840 But, you know, people don't want to address my arguments on the merits.

00:28:42.340 What they want to do is attack me personally.

00:28:44.300 And that's what's happened in this country.

00:28:46.340 Everything's become a personal attack.

00:28:48.020 People won't talk to me.

00:28:48.980 People won't engage with me because they think I'm representing the devil and I'm the devil's advocate.

00:28:55.880 And you are still a liberal Democrat.

00:28:59.480 A liberal Democrat.

00:29:01.020 Right.

00:29:01.540 I mean, it's crazy.

00:29:04.040 All right.

00:29:04.420 Let me ask you on abuse of power.

00:29:07.260 If they're charging abuse of power in the Ukraine, they're saying basically that he was trying to withhold money, etc., etc.

00:29:17.220 But how can you prove that without going into what the president was concerned about on the abuse of the Ukrainians through the State Department, you know, through our embassy in 2016 and also the use of our money being laundered and shipped back to Hunter Biden?

00:29:43.280 How can you possibly make this case without going into what the president said?

00:29:50.260 I need you to look into these things.

00:29:53.460 Well, I think there's a fair point for that.

00:29:55.860 And if witnesses are called by the Democrats, obviously witnesses will have to be called by the Republicans.

00:30:00.580 One of the issues will be when the president said on the telephone call to the president of Ukraine, I need you to look into whether or not there was an investigation of Hunter Biden.

00:30:14.100 And we have to see, because remember, we do have a conversation between Joe Biden, who I like and I've known for many, many years.

00:30:24.640 But there is that conversation, which he said he told the Ukrainians that unless they fire the prosecutor within six hours, the money will be withheld.

00:30:32.920 Now, the question is, was that prosecutor corrupt?

00:30:35.620 Should he have been fired?

00:30:37.060 Was he looking into Hunter Biden?

00:30:39.500 Was that abuse of power will have to come up and that will have to be.

00:30:44.260 Look, I don't think abuse of power is a constitutionally impeachable offense, regardless of who does it.

00:30:50.280 I don't distinguish between Democrats and Republicans.

00:30:52.900 But I think that all these things would have to be looked at and the trial would be interminable.

00:30:58.300 It would take forever if this is a call.

00:31:01.120 But if that's what the Senate wants, excuse me, they have the authority to do it because they make the decisions.

00:31:06.940 So wouldn't, wouldn't abuse of power be like what Nixon was doing, using federal agencies for his own, wouldn't abuse of power be Barack Obama with the IRS or his administration with the IRS?

00:31:23.500 Well, with Nixon, he committed crimes.

00:31:26.700 At least he was accused of committing crimes.

00:31:28.400 That is, paying hush money to witnesses.

00:31:31.980 He was accused of telling his associates the lie to the FBI, of erasing a tape.

00:31:38.240 All of those would be criminal if they could be proved.

00:31:41.460 Whereas what's alleged against President Trump is not criminal.

00:31:44.940 If they had criminal issues to allege, you could be sure they would have done it.

00:31:49.600 If they could establish bribery or treason, they would have done it.

00:31:53.400 But they didn't.

00:31:54.820 They instead used this concept of abuse of power, which is so broad and general, that any president could, as you say, any president could be charged with it.

00:32:04.380 So is it, is it accurate to describe the impeachment?

00:32:09.020 Because I don't think a lot of people even understand how this works.

00:32:12.280 But, you know, on a very surface level, that what the House did is almost like a grand jury.

00:32:21.480 That's right.

00:32:22.420 And then it's passed over to the Senate.

00:32:24.520 Now, can they continue to add new things?

00:32:28.800 For instance, this Lev Parnas stuff, which I find interesting at best.

00:32:35.680 But they, can they continue to evolve the charges?

00:32:40.980 Well, they can add new evidence of the original charges, but they can't add new charges without going through the impeachment process in the House.

00:32:53.380 And, you know, that's, so Lev Parnas would be a hard case.

00:32:56.940 Because to the extent he's alleging something different, that may be required going back to the House.

00:33:02.720 To the extent that he's simply allegedly adding evidence to what's already been charged, then it probably wouldn't have to go back to the House.

00:33:09.780 But, you know, these are issues that would have to be determined by the House and the Senate because the Constitution doesn't lay out the procedures.

00:33:16.940 It just says the House shall be the sole judge of impeachment and the Senate shall be the sole judge of conviction or acquittal.

00:33:23.540 And what is the role of the chief justice?

00:33:27.600 No one knows.

00:33:29.480 It's more than symbolic.

00:33:30.980 I mean, he's put there only in case of presidential impeachments.

00:33:34.840 Now, you can argue one of the reasons he's there is because the president pro temp of the Senate is in the line of succession with the president.

00:33:44.560 So he shouldn't be there.

00:33:45.980 But I think there's another reason.

00:33:46.960 I think they wanted to add a judicial element to so important a job as removing a duly elected president.

00:33:53.140 So I think the chief justice has some role to play.

00:33:56.380 But what exactly it is, nobody's sure.

00:33:58.280 What are the things that we should be watching for, Alan, from both sides?

00:34:04.900 What are the things that will show us one way or another which way this is going?

00:34:09.280 Well, I think the questions from the senators and the questions from the House managers, I'm looking forward to those questions already.

00:34:18.120 The media and some of the media, particularly in the hard left media, are predicting that I will be devastated by the questions.

00:34:24.660 I assure you I'm going to be very well prepared for any question that's asked me.

00:34:29.500 I've argued 250 appeals over a 50-year period.

00:34:32.860 I've never been asked a question during that period of time that I wasn't prepared for, and I intend to be prepared for the questions here.

00:34:40.260 Whether my answer is suffice or not is going to be up to the senators, but I will be prepared.

00:34:44.400 So are you going to be testifying or are you going to be advising because you're not?

00:34:49.700 No, I'm going to be arguing.

00:34:50.960 Arguing.

00:34:51.280 I'm going to be making the argument on the constitutional issue.

00:34:53.660 I'm going to be presenting to the Senate an argument as to why the Constitution doesn't permit the conviction of Donald Trump based on these two articles of impeachment of counsel on the constitutional issue.

00:35:06.420 Is this much different than the role you played with O.J. Simpson where you, if I remember right, you had a specific part of the trial you were taking on, right?

00:35:17.260 So is there any difference?

00:35:18.260 That's exactly right.

00:35:18.520 I hadn't thought about that.

00:35:19.520 That's exactly an analogy.

00:35:20.980 In the O.J. Simpson case, I came in and made arguments, specifically arguments that related to the appeal.

00:35:29.660 Somebody on CNN yesterday compared me to a special teams player in the Super Bowl.

00:35:36.400 That's a fair point.

00:35:37.740 I mean, I'm going to come in and maybe kick the extra point or kick the field goal that hopefully wins the game.

00:35:43.500 How do you feel about the team that the president has assembled?

00:35:48.600 And if you've had any kind of look into what they're doing, do you feel confident that they they are going to be prepared?

00:35:57.780 It's a team of excellent, excellent lawyers.

00:36:01.280 Pat Cipollone is a first rate lawyer.

00:36:03.820 So is Jay Sekulow.

00:36:05.840 And, of course, Ken Starr, Pam Bondi.

00:36:10.220 The rest of the lawyers I really don't know, but I have a high level of confidence in the lawyers that I know.

00:36:15.740 Wasn't Ken Starr, Stu, wasn't he?

00:36:18.920 I mean, I thought he was making statements against Donald Trump this whole time.

00:36:25.200 I don't know if he was making statements against Bill Clinton.

00:36:27.440 He was the chief prosecutor of the special counsel.

00:36:30.180 No, I remember.

00:36:31.200 Yeah, I remember that.

00:36:32.240 But I think recently.

00:36:33.420 I don't remember him.

00:36:34.140 I don't remember that.

00:36:35.180 Yeah.

00:36:35.420 OK.

00:36:35.820 All right.

00:36:36.200 Could be wrong.

00:36:37.420 Alan, thank you so much.

00:36:38.840 And best of luck.

00:36:39.720 When will we be seeing you?

00:36:42.160 Probably Friday, but we can't be sure of the schedule.

00:36:44.320 We'll know better tomorrow.

00:36:45.560 OK.

00:36:45.980 Thank you so much.

00:36:46.920 Appreciate it.

00:36:47.480 Take care.

00:36:47.720 Well, welcome to a new year.

00:36:52.100 The perfect opportunity to take your business to the next level by hiring the right people.

00:36:57.200 And sometimes finding quality candidates is really hard.

00:37:00.020 It's hard to find good help these days.

00:37:01.860 You've heard that forever.

00:37:03.640 But now, especially with what do we have?

00:37:05.400 3.4 percent unemployment.

00:37:08.480 Yes.

00:37:08.820 Something like that.

00:37:09.540 Yes.

00:37:09.960 The lowest in 50 years.

00:37:11.320 Yeah.

00:37:11.960 That is crazy.

00:37:14.060 Crazy.

00:37:14.540 If Barack Obama had done that, everybody would have been saying that, you know, hey, it's

00:37:21.920 time for the evening news.

00:37:22.960 We just want to remind you 3.4 percent unemployment.

00:37:26.220 You don't even hear about it.

00:37:27.720 But that's one of the reasons why it's hard to find really good help is because they're

00:37:32.020 I mean, it's competitive now.

00:37:34.400 It's good for the worker.

00:38:43.960 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:38:47.000 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:38:47.020 You know, Alan Dershowitz, I have.

00:39:16.800 I've found him a thing, but not necessarily for Alan or anybody else.

00:39:23.540 That's what their job is.

00:39:25.000 And you have to give the best defense to even the worst human being.

00:39:30.720 But I've found him credible, and especially now, if you remember right, he was writing

00:39:36.160 his book on the impeachment of Trump, but it was impeachment of Clinton.

00:39:40.460 He was writing that during the run-up.

00:39:42.660 Assumed Clinton was going to win like any others.

00:39:44.900 And he's assumed that the Republicans would try to impeach him, which I don't find credible,

00:39:50.460 quite honestly, because the Republicans don't have a spine.

00:39:53.580 They never, they didn't stand up against Benghazi.

00:39:57.440 I mean, what do you have that's bigger and better than Benghazi?

00:40:01.500 The lies told there, the emails, everything else.

00:40:04.740 You didn't do anything then.

00:40:06.220 Well, they talked a lot about it, but they didn't actually.

00:40:08.720 I mean, they did investigate Benghazi a bunch of times.

00:40:11.280 I would be very surprised, too, that after impeaching Bill Clinton, that they would have

00:40:17.220 gone for impeachment on Hillary Clinton.

00:40:19.360 Like, I just, just aesthetically, I don't think they would have done it.

00:40:22.460 But they might have.

00:40:23.780 I mean, we get to the point here, and we have the clip from Chuck Schumer.

00:40:27.480 We should play this at some point.

00:40:29.080 Do we have time?

00:40:29.640 Today.

00:40:30.180 I don't know if, let's see, it's 22 seconds.

00:40:32.920 Yeah, yeah.

00:40:33.120 So here's Schumer on impeachment, 1998.

00:40:35.280 Listen to this.

00:40:36.000 I expect history will show that we've lowered the bar on impeachment so much.

00:40:40.540 We have broken the seal on this extreme penalty so cavalierly that it will be used as a routine

00:40:48.700 tool to fight political battles.

00:40:51.460 My fear is that when a Republican wins the White House, Democrats will demand payback.

00:40:58.720 Andrew Wilcox actually found that, which is an amazing clip.

00:41:02.320 Yeah.

00:41:02.640 He's on Blaze TV, by the way.

00:41:04.300 But you listen to that, and it's like, he's just describing, he's mapped out his future,

00:41:08.560 right?

00:41:09.380 He's mapped out this exact scenario that you're seeing today.

00:41:11.900 And this is what Alan Dershowitz is standing up against.

00:41:15.540 I mean, Alan Dershowitz is a liberal Democrat, which gives him credibility.

00:41:20.820 He's not a Trump fan, you know, politically speaking.

00:41:23.940 Why is it that people just won't listen because it hurts their narrative?

00:41:32.540 It really hurts the nation when either side behaves this way.

00:41:37.700 Back in a minute with more.

00:41:38.820 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:41:53.380 Well, don't overdo it.

00:41:54.460 48-hour investigation.

00:41:55.680 That sounds serious.

00:41:56.780 I mean, that's a lot of time to spend on an investigation.

00:41:59.740 I'm sure she'll get right to the bottom of that.

00:42:02.000 Thanks, Hillary.

00:42:02.660 Appreciate it.

00:42:03.140 So, 888-727-BECK is our phone number.

00:42:06.400 We have a bunch of stuff coming up, whether it's impeachment.

00:42:10.960 We're going to be talking a lot about Virginia today, kind of give you the details of what's

00:42:13.980 going on there.

00:42:14.640 I wanted to button up something from last hour.

00:42:16.320 Glenn mentioned Ken Starr, who is working for the president, basically leading his defense

00:42:22.920 on impeachment.

00:42:24.500 It is interesting, going back, that Starr and Trump have not had a good history.

00:42:27.820 Starr and Trump have butted heads a bunch of times.

00:42:30.620 In fact, Trump really was just absolutely bashed Ken Starr back in the day, calling him insane 0.99

00:42:38.400 and off his rocker and a lunatic. 0.96

00:42:44.200 But, of course, he said that about pretty much everybody. 0.76

00:42:47.380 With Starr recently, he said the Sondland day was a bombshell day.

00:42:53.400 He said it doesn't look good for the president.

00:42:55.300 The president also mentioned that this tweet about Yovanovitch, the ambassador, said it

00:43:00.660 was quite injurious to the president.

00:43:02.580 So, he has been critical, but he's on board for impeachment.

00:43:05.380 Radio show starts now.

00:43:06.160 You know, I've heard, I've heard so many people say, make America great again.

00:43:32.260 When was it ever great?

00:43:34.040 And before that, it was, we just want our country back.

00:43:37.380 You want your country back?

00:43:38.360 From what?

00:43:38.960 From who?

00:43:40.100 Who's taken your country?

00:43:41.600 What rights have you lost?

00:43:42.920 First, I'm going to go through this just for Virginia, and I want to explain to the mainstream

00:43:48.560 media that they're looking at things entirely wrong, that they are approaching this if they

00:43:58.220 honestly are looking for peace-loving people, which I don't think I believe anymore.

00:44:02.860 But if they're actually looking to understand America and find our way back to each other,

00:44:09.720 I'll show them why the politicians and the media itself is actually creating the exact opposite.

00:44:21.680 And you'd have a hard time convincing me it's not by design in one minute.

00:44:27.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:32.940 Buying or selling your home is a really big task, both physically and emotionally.

00:44:37.440 At some point, you know, you stand there in the middle of the room of the house, and you're

00:44:42.520 going to get ready to say goodbye to it or hoping to say hello to it, and the weight of

00:44:46.700 all of it, all that has to be done, all that is happening, you're just like, wow, is there

00:44:53.080 anybody here to help me out?

00:44:54.200 This is why we created Real Estate Agents I Trust, because the hassle, the emotional strain

00:45:00.520 of buying and selling a home is really, really too much, especially if you don't have a great

00:45:06.060 agent that is good at what they do.

00:45:53.100 So it's on Martin Luther King Day, and maybe today, for those media members that haven't

00:46:12.740 started suddenly hating Martin Luther King, perhaps we can have a conversation with you

00:46:20.020 about what was Martin Luther King really talking about, and how does this relate to today?

00:46:26.740 Because his message, I think, is more relatable today.

00:46:29.640 Anybody who is thinking, I've got to pick up arms because it's so crazy out there, look

00:46:34.460 at Martin Luther King.

00:46:36.620 Martin Luther King knew he was going to die, and I think he knew he was going to die the

00:46:40.300 day he went to the sheriff's office, and he said, hey, I want a handgun.

00:46:43.460 I need a gun to protect myself.

00:46:45.560 And they said, well, you know, Mr. King, I think the best thing you could do to protect

00:46:50.980 yourself is to let us handle your security.

00:46:55.040 I mean, there's no reason you need a handgun.

00:46:58.720 Wait, people are shooting through my front window at night.

00:47:02.480 Well, I think we can handle all that.

00:47:05.200 For your own safety, sir, I don't think we can issue you a gun permit.

00:47:09.940 Martin Luther King wanted a gun permit, couldn't get one, because the government didn't agree

00:47:18.740 with him.

00:47:22.680 Martin Luther King challenged us over and over again.

00:47:25.940 America, live up to your promise.

00:47:30.580 Read your Constitution.

00:47:33.420 Read the Declaration of Independence.

00:47:34.980 Where in it does it say you can treat someone differently?

00:47:41.060 Now, the left is, the left says that they get this, but I think the left has only gotten

00:47:47.460 this for power.

00:47:49.080 I mean, I will tell you that I don't have anything to back this up, but one of these days I will

00:47:56.000 actually spend the time to research the Civil Rights Act with Johnson.

00:48:03.080 How do you get a guy who is an absolute racist, who stands against the Civil Rights Act, to five

00:48:11.680 years later become its champion?

00:48:15.260 I believe he saw the power and the destruction of the African-American family in that legislation.

00:48:22.220 But the civil rights, the ideas of civil rights have been around for a very long time.

00:48:33.020 In fact, it's one of the things that all of the states worried about with our federal government.

00:48:39.880 That's why in 1789 we had the Constitution.

00:48:44.900 But in 1791, we got the Bill of Rights because it just, it didn't take them very long to go,

00:48:51.060 you know, this government's going to get out of control.

00:48:52.780 And there's some things that we have to make sure that they know they belong to the states

00:48:56.100 and they belong to the individuals.

00:48:57.220 And there's nothing, anybody in that swamp called Washington is ever going to be able

00:49:02.820 to do about these things.

00:49:03.820 And so we need that extra protection.

00:49:05.320 We just want to remind Congress and the president that you can never, ever, ever do these things.

00:49:11.500 And that's how we got the Bill of Rights.

00:49:15.420 But right now you have people pretending that they want peace, pretending that there are

00:49:22.600 enemies of the Constitution and our way of life that are not only outside of our own borders,

00:49:30.660 but there are also those who strangely believe in the Constitution.

00:49:36.140 They're the ones to watch.

00:49:37.540 They're the real radicals.

00:49:39.120 Let me start with Virginia, what's happening in Virginia.

00:49:42.260 They have a big rally today in Virginia.

00:49:45.460 And they are, it is a, it's a day where you can go and, and talk to your representative

00:49:50.340 in the statehouse.

00:49:51.660 This is a tradition in Virginia.

00:49:54.560 And so it's Martin Luther King Day.

00:49:56.200 So you have the day off so you can go ahead and, and, and petition the government for things.

00:50:00.840 Well, there are tens of thousands of people that are going all over for, for Virginia because

00:50:07.720 they believe their government is out of control.

00:50:10.480 Now, the GOP screwed everything up and then the, the Republicans stayed at home and didn't

00:50:17.980 vote.

00:50:18.400 And so what happened?

00:50:19.900 They have a Democrat, Democrats controlling the house and the Senate and the, the governor's

00:50:25.740 house.

00:50:25.980 So you've, you've got a people who are in a pack to steamroll the rest of the state.

00:50:32.320 If you look at the map of Virginia on how many counties and how many areas have decided

00:50:40.100 to pass pro second amendment, uh, rules and claim that they are, they are, uh, people

00:50:49.880 that, uh, uh, they're safe counties.

00:50:55.100 If you look at this map, it's almost all entirely green of where these laws have been passed.

00:51:01.280 And then there's a couple of yellows, which means it's, uh, it's ready to be heard in those 0.90

00:51:07.680 city council or those, those county council meetings.

00:51:10.780 There's a couple of those.

00:51:12.360 There's a couple of, uh, orange ones that say that they're starting to, um, you know,

00:51:17.980 move and make progress.

00:51:19.680 There's only two little teeny spots that have stopped this legislation and said, we're not

00:51:25.480 going to be a sanctuary city.

00:51:26.700 It's really, truly, remarkably overwhelming, but it doesn't have to just do with the guns.

00:51:34.460 But let me talk about the guns for a second.

00:51:36.800 The first thing that this, this democratic, uh, governor and house and Senate did in Virginia

00:51:43.860 was to protect the governor from impeachment.

00:51:48.840 Now, this is really interesting as the Democrats talk about how we've got to be able to impeach

00:51:55.760 on the lowest of bars.

00:51:59.100 They're protecting their own governor from impeachment.

00:52:01.500 And remember, this is, this is governor blackface. 0.76

00:52:03.860 This is governor, uh, you know, we'll decide after the baby is born, whether they should 0.97

00:52:08.720 live or die.

00:52:09.580 This guy's a radical as he is, but he got all kinds of protection.

00:52:14.760 He didn't have to go away.

00:52:15.720 Any Republican that did anything like that would have been gone before he even finished

00:52:20.260 the sentence, but they protected him.

00:52:24.420 And now, as soon as everybody was reelected, they protected him even more.

00:52:28.520 And they said, you know, it used to take 10% to be able to have a petition to impeach the

00:52:34.640 governor, but we think it should be 25%.

00:52:37.620 And so they passed that and got that through.

00:52:40.360 So they're making it harder for the people to impeach.

00:52:43.520 Now, why would you do that?

00:52:45.720 Well, you would do that if the governor said, I'm, I'll sign whatever you send, but you

00:52:52.200 better protect my, my bot.

00:52:55.680 And so what did they decide to do in Virginia?

00:52:58.760 New gun laws, age requirements, ban on assault weapons, ban on magazines, limiting outdoor

00:53:07.300 ranges.

00:53:08.100 This is, this is an amazing thing.

00:53:10.120 Why would you be limiting outdoor ranges?

00:53:11.780 People don't like to shoot indoors.

00:53:14.420 Generally speaking, you like to go outdoors.

00:53:16.260 It's loud.

00:53:17.480 It's obnoxious.

00:53:18.560 It smells.

00:53:19.680 You like to go sit outdoors.

00:53:21.400 If you can, why would you be limiting outdoor ranges?

00:53:25.160 It's to make it more of a hassle, make it something that you don't enjoy.

00:53:29.760 They are, they are talking about passing the red flag confiscation laws.

00:53:33.640 Now this one, I love in Virginia.

00:53:36.420 You only have to have a 51% certainty that that person is, is trouble only 51%.

00:53:44.340 I'm going to come back to this.

00:53:45.460 I want you to remember that their red flag laws allow the police to come into your house 0.93

00:53:50.520 and take your weapons.

00:53:52.340 If they're 51% sure that you're a trouble, that you are, you're going to cause some sort

00:53:58.200 of harm to someone, to someone in your house, maybe someone in your house is going to cause

00:54:03.300 harm to somebody else.

00:54:04.420 You lose your weapons.

00:54:06.740 They have a cap on handgun purchases.

00:54:09.920 You can only buy one per month.

00:54:11.420 Well, you only have two hands.

00:54:12.720 And then they're also changing the electoral college.

00:54:19.520 And this just all in the last couple of months.

00:54:22.740 Congratulations, Virginia.

00:54:25.820 Now let me flip this around because guns are a constitutionally protected right.

00:54:31.700 I know that's up for debate now, but it's actually not.

00:54:34.960 I know everybody thinks it's up for debate, but it's not.

00:54:38.340 Since 1791, guns have been constitutionally protected.

00:54:44.080 It is your right to be able to defend yourself.

00:54:47.480 Well, you're just not going to let anybody have guns.

00:54:50.640 You're going to let children have guns. 1.00

00:54:52.260 Yeah.

00:54:52.740 Do you know up until I think 1969, a kid could go in and buy a gun and some bullets and it

00:54:58.980 was no big deal.

00:55:00.160 Why?

00:55:00.800 Society was different.

00:55:02.280 There's a problem with our society.

00:55:04.060 Have you seen that London, in England, they're now coming up with new knives without a pointy

00:55:11.460 end.

00:55:11.880 They're round.

00:55:14.340 Why?

00:55:15.020 Because there's so many knife crimes.

00:55:17.860 Why are there knife crimes?

00:55:19.100 Because we banned all the guns.

00:55:21.000 Because there were so many gun crimes.

00:55:22.740 So now we have to ban knives.

00:55:25.540 We can ban hands eventually? 0.89

00:55:27.620 Ban rocks eventually?

00:55:29.600 It's a societal problem.

00:55:31.380 It's not a gun problem or a knife problem.

00:55:33.140 It's a human problem.

00:55:35.680 You're denying something.

00:55:40.120 But it's a fundamental right.

00:55:42.240 Now, let me ask you, if I flip this around and all of a sudden Republicans took control

00:55:50.080 of your state and the Republicans said, you know what?

00:55:54.160 Anybody who is going to speak out against the government or anything that we do, if we're

00:56:03.180 51% certain you as a teacher or a professor are going to teach things that the state doesn't

00:56:10.500 like, 51%, we're going to ban you. 0.50

00:56:13.680 You, I mean, you can go to court and you can fight it, but you have to prove your innocence.

00:56:20.100 And you may not even get it back, even if you're innocent.

00:56:23.020 Do you think people would be sitting around on their thumbs?

00:56:28.900 If I said, you know, we got a new law, we're going to pass. 0.88

00:56:32.700 It's if we're 51% sure that that Muslim over there is probably up to some no good stuff. 1.00

00:56:40.280 He might be involved in terrorism. 0.93

00:56:43.000 He might hold views that are that are really kind of anti-American.

00:56:47.640 And I'm 51% sure we're going to take his right away to his religion and his speech.

00:56:56.360 Do you think people would be sitting around?

00:56:59.800 If we said, you know what?

00:57:02.840 We have the governorship.

00:57:04.600 And in fact, we've just passed a new law where it's going to be harder for you to impeach the

00:57:08.820 governor. And we did that obviously for a reason, wink, wink.

00:57:15.020 We're going to pass a new law because we've had too many kids that are in college that are

00:57:19.620 voting. You have to be 24 to be able to vote.

00:57:24.920 I mean, you changed the electoral college.

00:57:27.060 We're just going to change the day, you know, nowhere in the constitution does it say what age.

00:57:31.720 So we're going to change it to 24.

00:57:33.420 We want to get those kids that, you know, are in college being, you know, and we might even do it

00:57:38.180 to 28 or 30 because they're all being brainwashed by these teachers that we all agree need to be

00:57:45.320 gone because we're 51% sure that they're going to be a trouble.

00:57:48.920 So they're not teaching anymore.

00:57:50.500 Do you see those teachers?

00:57:51.680 In fact, we have big tech who has been helping us out.

00:57:54.920 They have even higher standards for that.

00:57:56.840 They not only have not only endorsed us taking their jobs, but they also rat these people out.

00:58:03.980 These people, there's their own little, almost like trial.

00:58:07.020 They're not even a part of our society anymore.

00:58:10.400 They don't have a place.

00:58:11.840 We don't have a place for people who are supporting terrorists or anti-American.

00:58:16.280 We just don't have a place for that.

00:58:18.020 And it's, these are all common sense, all common sense laws just to keep you and your

00:58:23.140 children safe.

00:58:29.180 Do you think the Democrats would be sitting on their hands?

00:58:35.020 And by the way, just so you know, I would be joining them in the March or the rally for

00:58:41.960 the return of their rights.

00:58:43.260 I would be joining them speaking out against any state where a GOP would try to do something

00:58:50.020 like that because our rights belong to us, not them.

00:58:54.980 And they are universal.

00:58:56.560 It doesn't come with, with a political voting card.

00:59:00.620 They're universal.

00:59:01.760 It doesn't come with a, I'm a white person.

00:59:04.140 I'm a black person.

00:59:08.900 To all men.

00:59:13.260 So that's what's going on.

00:59:14.580 But that isn't even, that isn't even just what the people of Virginia are feeling.

00:59:22.220 That's not enough.

00:59:25.520 Let me tell you the rest of the story in one minute.

00:59:28.340 Having really good and affordable home security in the year 2020 means having simply safe in

00:59:39.180 your home.

00:59:39.960 It is so great.

00:59:41.120 I mean, new technology when it first comes out can be very, very expensive, but then as

00:59:44.940 it catches on and as, as things get cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, so does, well, so

00:59:50.680 does anybody who's actually doing the job and not trying to gouge your eyes out.

00:59:54.500 I mean, you'll see if you have home security from another company, you'll, you've noticed

00:59:59.080 that your prices just keep going up and up and up.

01:00:01.380 Why?

01:00:02.260 It's easier to do this stuff now.

01:00:04.220 Shouldn't it be coming down?

01:00:05.340 Why are you signing these big long contracts and paying for all this expensive equipment?

01:00:09.160 That's not that expensive.

01:00:11.660 For $15 a month, you can step into a whole new world of peace of mind.

01:00:16.500 The equipment is sleek, almost invisible, and it is state of the art.

01:00:20.220 It's simply safe.

01:00:21.280 They have real-time video verification, a whole team to do this, which helps your police

01:00:26.820 officer respond to your distress call 350% faster than with any other burglar alarm.

01:00:35.500 Hello?

01:00:37.060 This is the real deal.

01:00:39.100 This is the future.

01:00:41.120 All of it monitored by 24-7 security professionals.

01:00:44.940 They can set it up for you if you want, you really don't need it, or you can set it up

01:00:49.120 yourself, simply safe experts are willing to do, you control them, not the other way

01:00:54.300 around.

01:00:54.900 There are no contracts, and you're spending about 50 cents a day.

01:01:13.220 We break for 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:01:26.880 So what Virginia is feeling now, to explain it to people who aren't gun owners, we look

01:01:33.480 at all of the rights protected under the Bill of Rights as sacred.

01:01:37.420 I know many on the left, and I don't mean this as a pejorative, just a fact, people on

01:01:44.820 the left generally pick and choose their favorites on the Bill of Rights.

01:01:50.800 And you can say that people on the right pick and choose their favorites as well.

01:01:55.900 For instance, the government is spying on you, etc., etc.

01:01:59.240 But I think you'll be surprised if you actually talk to a conservative, because they're really

01:02:06.460 against all of this stuff.

01:02:08.000 They're really for privacy.

01:02:09.720 They're really for freedom of speech.

01:02:15.260 So I set up that as we look at the Bill of Rights, I look at speech and the Second Amendment,

01:02:23.660 the First and Second Amendment, as two absolutes.

01:02:26.760 They cannot go away.

01:02:29.180 These two are the foundation that protect all other rights.

01:02:34.060 So if I said to you, if we had 51% certainty that you're going to speak out against the government,

01:02:39.760 you're going to say something that this government disagrees with, so we're going to silence you.

01:02:43.580 You're going to lose your job as a teacher, per se.

01:02:46.940 And we have, we're going to make this worse now, because this is the thing that the media

01:02:52.020 doesn't understand.

01:02:52.880 We're going to make this worse by not only having this, but we're going to have a nationwide

01:02:59.560 press that says, you know what?

01:03:02.280 They're right.

01:03:03.760 Those lawmakers in X state are right.

01:03:07.380 And anyone who stands against it is proof of the 51% certainty that they are, they're a

01:03:16.520 problem.

01:03:16.900 And maybe they should be shunned publicly.

01:03:19.120 You know what? 0.82

01:03:20.200 They're just revolutionary radicals that want the rest of the country to die.

01:03:26.320 They don't care about your children. 0.87

01:03:28.100 If you were just trying to protect your right to speak and your job and your state took that

01:03:39.240 away and you had to prove your innocence and the media was taking down anybody who was standing

01:03:46.240 with you, anyone who is defending you, and they were destroying them.

01:03:51.260 And the tech world was isolating those people.

01:03:54.900 And all of you were dangerous radicals.

01:03:58.160 If you can get your arms around that, for those in the Democratic Party, that's exactly the

01:04:06.060 way the people in Virginia feel today.

01:04:08.420 They feel, I have a constitutional right, and this government is starting to really scare

01:04:17.760 the hell out of me.

01:04:19.020 And the media is not helping, tech isn't helping, and everybody who tries to help is shunned and

01:04:25.800 destroyed.

01:04:26.660 That just makes this a stronger point.

01:04:29.340 If you don't care to even take the minute to analyze that and see the point of view, you're

01:04:39.860 part of the problem, I think.

01:04:40.980 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:04:43.900 Seems pretty likely to me that the very first thing early man ever did was sit down.

01:04:49.660 I mean, I have been chased.

01:04:51.800 I chased a lozaraptor.

01:04:54.160 Okay?

01:04:55.120 Those lozaraptors, they were going to eat me. 1.00

01:04:58.080 Can you just stop talking about your day for a second?

01:05:01.320 I just want to sit down, put my feet up, grab a beer, think about football, which is going

01:05:08.160 to be invented.

01:05:10.260 That's the first thing I think man did.

01:05:13.320 And then, on the millionth day, he created X Chair.

01:05:22.240 X Chair.

01:05:23.680 People didn't know how to make a truly comfortable chair.

01:05:28.660 And now I think we do.

01:05:30.400 I think it would be really, it's weird.

01:05:32.300 You go back to like the 1700s and all of the chairs and the benches and everything are

01:05:35.700 really, what happened?

01:05:37.580 You weren't thinking this through.

01:05:39.760 X Chair is the revolution of chairs.

01:06:15.060 Steve Dace joins the program in about 30 minutes from Iowa.

01:06:30.300 We're two weeks away from the Iowa caucus, which is a very bizarre thing in and of itself.

01:06:37.040 But the New York Times made their choice.

01:06:41.100 And it's strangely Warren and Klobuchar, which either one of those, you know, is basically

01:06:49.260 what they're saying is, please not Joe Biden.

01:06:52.380 Please not Joe Biden.

01:06:53.660 Or please Elizabeth Warren.

01:06:54.800 Yeah.

01:06:55.080 One of the two.

01:06:55.600 Because both of those help Warren.

01:06:56.860 Yes.

01:06:57.220 Right?

01:06:57.600 Yes.

01:06:58.040 You think about it.

01:06:59.920 In reality.

01:07:01.000 When have they ever endorsed two?

01:07:02.720 No, it's a complete cop-out, number one.

01:07:04.960 Right.

01:07:05.060 Like, pick somebody.

01:07:06.060 Right.

01:07:06.200 But their idea was like, well, people have different lanes.

01:07:09.400 And there's the liberal lane, and there's the sort of moderate lane.

01:07:12.600 And Warren's the best one for the liberal lane.

01:07:15.780 If the moderate lane should be Klobuchar.

01:07:17.260 Well, it's like, well, if you are deciding on the moderate lane, that's where your world

01:07:24.820 is.

01:07:25.120 You're not going to want Warren.

01:07:26.500 So they don't want to leave it.

01:07:27.680 So then you might pick Biden if you don't agree with their Warren endorsement.

01:07:31.420 So now they're giving you another name to go after that is not Joe Biden.

01:07:35.220 And they want it to be Amy Klobuchar.

01:07:38.580 You know, in reality, it seems like a lot of this just points to them really wanting

01:07:42.160 it to be Warren, which is what everyone believes anyway, because she's the pick of the ultra,

01:07:47.060 you know, elite academic intelligentsia.

01:07:51.620 She's the Woodrow Wilson of our day.

01:07:53.300 Yeah.

01:07:53.600 Congratulations on that.

01:07:54.960 All right.

01:07:55.300 We're going to take you to John Miller, who does the White House brief on Blaze TV.

01:08:00.380 And John is on the ground now in Virginia.

01:08:05.680 John, the brief talk of this was it's going to be the most dangerous place on the planet.

01:08:15.740 How's it shaping up here in Virginia?

01:08:17.840 Well, you know, if this is the most dangerous thing on the planet, then, you know, I'm at

01:08:22.360 a loss because we're right here at the perimeter.

01:08:25.200 And, you know, beyond this line, beyond this point, and I don't know how much you can hear

01:08:29.540 when people are chanting USA in the background, they're chanting a number of things.

01:08:35.240 But the further you go, once you cross that line, you're not allowed to carry.

01:08:39.180 So a number of people have made a point of carrying.

01:08:41.900 Virginia, remember, is an open carry state.

01:08:44.140 They've made a point of carrying to show that they are safer outside of the perimeter

01:08:48.960 where they don't allow guns than they would be inside of that line.

01:08:53.180 And how many people are inside versus outside?

01:08:56.780 In the thousands, we're still trying to get a count, an exact count, but it's already

01:09:02.780 packed.

01:09:03.140 The rallies, and it's not a rally, I should start calling it that, because it really is

01:09:07.240 just Lobby Day, which happens in Virginia every year.

01:09:08.980 They've been doing it for 18 years.

01:09:10.660 And it's already packed.

01:09:13.080 It's supposed to start at 11, but they had to start letting people in at 8.

01:09:15.920 So it's clear that this is something that matters a lot to people.

01:09:20.260 And we're still just trying to get a headcount on numbers.

01:09:23.980 So, John, helping out and looking at the pictures of it, it is incredible how many people

01:09:30.720 are there.

01:09:31.780 But talk to me a little bit about Lobbying Day.

01:09:37.740 This has been in place for 18 years.

01:09:40.620 This is the first time, I think, that they've ever had anything like this.

01:09:44.480 Well, they come every year, and basically, you go to the Capitol, and they have meetings

01:09:57.180 where you basically discuss legislation.

01:10:01.220 And it's essentially to boil it down, a way for Virginians to actually get their voices

01:10:05.080 to be heard.

01:10:05.680 This year, because of the anti-gun legislation, the red flag laws, basically clamping down

01:10:13.640 on the kinds of weapons that you can have, because of that, it reached a boiling point.

01:10:19.500 And like you said, the Democrats freaked out about it.

01:10:22.160 But this is something that happens every single year.

01:10:25.080 It's something that is completely legal.

01:10:26.380 It's something that Virginia has been doing for years. 0.50

01:10:28.780 And because the kind of legislation that's on the table, which is gun rights legislation

01:10:32.960 now, it's gotten to be a much bigger deal.

01:10:38.680 John, tell me about the scene.

01:10:40.320 As I'm looking at some of the video, the people that are closest to the Capitol, generally

01:10:45.360 white men, which is going to make this very easy for the left to paint this as a white

01:10:52.580 supremacist movement.

01:10:54.720 Are you the only African-American in the crowd?

01:10:58.160 Are there any women and children?

01:11:00.000 I'm standing actually literally right next to an Asian woman who is standing on one of 0.99

01:11:07.940 the steps here.

01:11:09.520 I would say, yeah, it's probably, it is a mixed crowd, but it's also, what I can see is not 0.89

01:11:16.860 necessarily a representative of who's here.

01:11:18.260 So I'm not actually sure.

01:11:19.720 I do know that I've already said, you know, there's people of all colors, there's people

01:11:23.720 of all genders.

01:11:24.860 And I wouldn't say it's all white men.

01:11:28.220 But I certainly, I don't see any Nazis.

01:11:29.820 I guess we're waiting to see where all the Nazis are hiding, because that's what I was 0.97

01:11:33.300 told who would be here.

01:11:34.220 Yeah.

01:11:35.300 And I think, do you remember, John, you were with me as my assistant at the, you may have

01:11:40.260 been an intern at Restoring Honor.

01:11:42.880 Were you not?

01:11:44.380 When we went to Washington?

01:11:45.900 I'm trying to remember.

01:11:46.740 I was, I was right.

01:11:48.420 I think I had just ended my internship.

01:11:51.700 Sophomore year.

01:11:52.380 Yeah.

01:11:52.560 So I was transitioning from an intern to an assistant, I think.

01:11:55.340 Yeah, yeah.

01:11:55.700 So you were my assistant.

01:11:57.360 Remember how much the, the, the organs of the state tried to suppress attendance there

01:12:06.420 by saying that it was going to be, you know, very violent and awful.

01:12:10.700 And, and we were told that the Black Panthers were coming.

01:12:15.680 Do you remember, do you remember that?

01:12:17.760 And it turned out not to be that.

01:12:20.100 Does it feel like the same kind of thing happening with the state of Virginia here, trying to suppress

01:12:25.100 these numbers?

01:12:25.660 I'm with one of my producers, Beth here, who just told me everyone to her has been an absolute

01:12:30.820 gentleman.

01:12:32.000 It has been nothing but peaceful protesters.

01:12:35.600 And it's, uh, this narrative that they try to frame where everyone's violent, everyone's,

01:12:40.040 you know, getting in clashes in the streets.

01:12:41.780 It's just not, it wasn't the reality, Glenn, on, uh, on 828.

01:12:45.260 It's not the reality now.

01:12:46.720 And that is completely just the fabrication that I think they use to dissuade people from

01:12:51.200 attending these events because they want to suppress the numbers because they want

01:12:53.960 people to think that it's not important and they want people to think that no one's actually

01:12:57.800 interested except for the fringe, which is just not the case.

01:13:00.820 What I'm seeing is a bunch of just normal everyday Americans who believe it or not actually

01:13:05.500 value their rights, believe it or not actually value the things that are afforded to them

01:13:08.900 by the, by the constitution, the Virginia state constitution and the, and, uh, and the

01:13:15.200 country's constitution.

01:13:16.340 And so they, they, they're probably going to find the craziest people they can and highlight

01:13:20.940 those.

01:13:21.260 But we've been here now for about a half an hour and it's just everyday people you see

01:13:25.480 every day and no one's been anything but kind.

01:13:29.140 Um, do you see the mainstream media anywhere?

01:13:33.060 Uh, no, I have not.

01:13:34.260 It's all, uh, you know, there's local news.

01:13:36.560 There is, uh, there are conservative outlets, but I haven't seen any flag, you know, Mike

01:13:41.300 flag from CNN, NBC.

01:13:43.480 I don't know if they're here.

01:13:44.680 Well, I haven't seen any coverage.

01:13:46.120 I haven't seen any coverage except on Fox, but I could be wrong.

01:13:49.360 Um, the, uh, uh, last question at, uh, what time do you download today?

01:13:54.720 The white house brief.

01:13:56.320 And what are you having?

01:13:57.420 I believe when I, I believe it's 4 p.m.

01:14:00.480 Um, that's when we usually, we usually download.

01:14:02.660 So 4 p.m.

01:14:03.320 Eastern.

01:14:03.660 We're going to try to get some interviews with people on the ground here.

01:14:06.160 We're going to try to get some, uh, interviews with the organizers, the people who actually

01:14:09.460 put this together, um, and, and see what, uh, you know, what they think.

01:14:13.300 Because what's fascinating to me is that, you know, these are people who, it is so important

01:14:17.180 to have this, this right that they have literally said, Hey, if the state tries to come after

01:14:21.540 my guns, I'm literally willing to, I'm willing to go to jail.

01:14:24.740 I'm willing to face whatever consequences, uh, come my way, but I'm not giving up this right.

01:14:29.540 So it sounds like, uh, another period of time that we're celebrating today, Martin Luther

01:14:35.020 King day.

01:14:36.660 Correct.

01:14:37.340 Correct.

01:14:37.800 And it's, and it's, that's why it's so fitting that it's on this day.

01:14:40.880 Um, because it shows that American people, when it comes down to their rights, when it

01:14:44.760 comes down to the things that they are allowed to do and the things that make living in this

01:14:48.240 country great, uh, when it comes down to those things, they have to, uh, sorry, I'm getting

01:14:53.020 pushed aside.

01:14:54.540 They have to, uh, they're, they're not willing to give those up and they're doing it peacefully,

01:14:59.020 but they're letting their voices be heard.

01:15:00.820 Well, let them all know that we're behind them.

01:15:02.640 Uh, and, uh, I appreciate, uh, appreciate the fact that you're there, John, uh, along

01:15:08.500 with a couple of other people from the blaze that we will talk to later on in the program.

01:15:11.460 Thanks, John Miller, the white house brief.

01:15:13.440 You can find his report from Virginia today, 4 PM Eastern time is download time.

01:15:20.880 And, uh, you can get that only on blaze tv.com slash what is it?

01:15:26.960 Uh, slash Glenn and you can save 10%, uh, today on your, uh, blaze tv subscription.

01:15:33.800 We, we really ask that you would subscribe.

01:15:36.340 Uh, that's what helps us pay for all of the equipment and the plane fares and everything

01:15:41.420 else to go and cover this stuff.

01:15:43.340 Uh, and we are expanding.

01:15:45.020 In fact, there's a new show starting, uh, in I think two weeks.

01:15:49.960 Yeah.

01:15:50.480 Sometime first week of February for the day after the Iowa caucus.

01:15:53.320 Yeah.

01:15:53.620 There's some, actually some exciting stuff happening that week.

01:15:56.240 Um, and, uh, and then also Stu is doing something that week too.

01:16:00.460 I, yeah, I thought that was what you were referring to when you were excited.

01:16:03.260 Oh, is that what it is?

01:16:03.580 Yeah.

01:16:03.760 When you seemed optimistic and excited about the future, I thought you were talking about

01:16:07.800 my show.

01:16:08.560 No.

01:16:09.260 But you were just talking about.

01:16:10.440 If you like the daily show, uh, with, uh, Trevor Noah, you're not going to like Stu

01:16:15.580 does America.

01:16:16.180 I was going to say, please don't say no.

01:16:17.940 Cause if you, if you like the day, I don't understand your humor.

01:16:20.700 If you, I don't get it.

01:16:22.480 Uh, but, uh, Stu does America is a, uh, look at, uh, the day's events, um, from a comedy

01:16:29.060 standpoint.

01:16:30.440 And, uh, it's really, really well done.

01:16:34.020 Stu is your host.

01:16:35.160 I don't know how that works, but pay higher the handicap.

01:16:39.440 You know what I'm saying?

01:16:40.580 That's the nice way of putting it.

01:16:42.140 Um, I should point out that there was a, an unfortunate, uh, I would say inappropriate

01:16:46.060 video that was a swirling around the internet.

01:16:49.040 Uh, that was, yeah, it, it was a sort of a, I mean, you can go up to, uh, go to my Twitter

01:16:55.200 page, twitter.com slash do does America.

01:16:58.360 You can see it.

01:16:59.380 And it, it appears to be someone edited together, uh, uh, a clip of me testifying at the impeachment,

01:17:05.680 uh, hearing to Adam Schiff.

01:17:08.480 Huh.

01:17:08.800 And the outcome of that particular testimony was very unfortunate.

01:17:13.980 And I would like to apologize to Adam Schiff, his family.

01:17:16.880 So this was going around the internet, but you decided to put it on your, I wanted to

01:17:20.700 make sure people knew that it was not right.

01:17:24.080 That it was, well, I wanted people to know that it was inappropriate.

01:17:26.820 Okay.

01:17:27.360 Now it's, is it exactly what basically everybody in the audience wants to be able to do?

01:17:32.680 If you were in this position, the one thing you'd want to say to Adam Schiff, Ooh, just

01:17:40.560 a, just brief.

01:17:42.180 But I, if you want to know what that would look like, I bet they're the same two I picked

01:17:47.720 inappropriate though.

01:17:51.380 And wrong.

01:17:51.840 Yeah.

01:17:51.980 Very wrong.

01:17:52.660 We can definitely come together on very, very wrong.

01:17:54.420 Stu does America blaze TV.

01:17:56.700 Join us now.

01:17:58.060 Unmanageable credit card date, debt, job layoffs, medical emergencies, car trouble.

01:18:05.000 They're not going to happen, but they do.

01:18:06.800 They seem to happen over and over again.

01:18:08.340 And you get further and further into debt.

01:19:25.760 the phone.

01:19:28.780 American financing, family owned, salary-based mortgage consultants that work for you, not

01:19:33.280 the bank.

01:19:34.160 How do I know?

01:19:36.620 Your friendly neighborhood bank?

01:19:38.360 Not so much.

01:19:39.980 American financing.

01:19:41.060 800-906-2440.

01:19:42.880 800-906-2440.

01:19:45.020 Americanfinancing.net.

01:19:46.140 American financing corporation, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:19:53.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:55.600 Thank you.

01:19:55.840 I'll see you next time.

01:19:56.260 Thank you for joining us.

01:19:56.640 We'll be right back.

01:20:02.700 So if you look at the stock market,

01:20:30.760 I mean, we broke $30,000 on our way to what I believe is a melt-up,

01:20:36.840 opposite of a meltdown, obviously.

01:20:38.760 It goes way up, and then it comes crashing down and corrects itself.

01:20:42.980 But if you look at the stock market

01:20:45.620 and you look where that money is coming from,

01:20:48.420 that is mainly from corporate buybacks,

01:20:52.520 corporations buying their own stock back,

01:20:55.240 and that's the big driver right now.

01:20:59.860 And the companies are optimistic about the future.

01:21:04.580 If you listen to Goldman Sachs for political insight,

01:21:12.500 you are going to find something that the mainstream media doesn't like.

01:21:16.380 The 2020 presidential election, now 10 months away,

01:21:19.780 President Trump's re-election is all but guaranteed,

01:21:23.600 according to the top clients of the Wall Street powerhouse, Goldman Sachs.

01:21:27.240 They had a global strategy conference in London last week,

01:21:32.040 and they surveyed more than 150 of its clients

01:21:35.160 and found that 80% believe that Trump is going to win re-election in November,

01:21:40.880 according to Business Insider.

01:21:42.180 The reason that this is happening is because they're seeing the economy

01:21:50.180 and they're watching the trends on the economy

01:21:52.440 and they see how business is going,

01:21:54.500 and they just don't believe that the government is,

01:21:59.020 or the people are going to throw out such a successful government, if you will.

01:22:04.820 We don't make changes when things are good, generally speaking,

01:22:09.360 but that's, you know, we also don't elect, you know,

01:22:15.080 Nancy Pelosi and Ilan Omar, et cetera, et cetera, if things are normal.

01:22:22.600 Only 5% of investors told Goldman Sachs that they expect an economic recession this year.

01:22:28.260 Last year, they said that it was going to be a close call.

01:22:33.800 This year, they're saying they don't think it's going to be a close call with Donald Trump.

01:22:39.760 That's partly, when you start to see Wall Street fall apart,

01:22:47.100 that will be because people start to believe that Donald Trump is not going to be the president,

01:22:52.060 and it might be somebody like, you know, Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.

01:22:58.240 Yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine who has a good amount of money in the markets and stuff,

01:23:02.180 and he's not like a hugely political guy,

01:23:06.140 where he's like following every dip and twist and turn.

01:23:09.680 Yeah.

01:23:10.160 And he's just like, if it looks like Bernie Sanders is going to become president of the United States,

01:23:14.940 or he mentioned Sanders specifically, but I agree with you, Warren's on the same page.

01:23:19.520 I'm pulling my money out of the market.

01:23:20.640 Oh, I'm getting out.

01:23:21.960 I'm getting out.

01:23:22.380 We will go into a depression.

01:23:24.380 Bill O'Reilly said that Friday, and he's right.

01:23:26.120 We will go into a depression if Bernie Sanders looks like he's going to be the president

01:23:31.340 or is the president of the United States.

01:23:34.500 All right.

01:23:35.800 Back in a minute with a look at Iowa and what's happening there.

01:23:41.980 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:23:50.640 All right.

01:23:55.960 New year deserves a new pair of Decovis boots.

01:23:59.240 Start strong with that feeling of confidence and comfort that only comes with a real high quality pair of Western boots.

01:24:06.300 Even if you've never worn cowboy boots before, Decovis has the perfect pair for you.

01:24:10.580 Decovis boots.

01:24:11.360 They're made to honor the cowboy in all of us.

01:24:13.760 And I don't care where you live.

01:24:14.900 There is a part of you that's cowboy, honorable in your daily dealings, authentic in the way we live, committed to the ideals that built the greatness that is America.

01:24:23.660 And every pair is handmade with high quality full grain leathers by world class bootmakers with no shortcuts or compromises ever.

01:24:30.960 The styles are classic and handsome up any room they're in.

01:24:33.380 That is absolutely disgusting. 0.99

01:24:57.380 Disgusting. 1.00

01:24:58.360 Just disgusting. 1.00

01:25:00.260 All right.

01:25:01.280 We have Steve Dace coming up in just a second.

01:25:03.940 Looking forward to hear what he has to say.

01:25:05.920 We're two weeks away now from the Iowa caucus.

01:25:10.640 What's interesting is the impeachment could possibly be wrapping up.

01:25:16.700 If they call no witnesses, the impeachment could possibly wrap up or they'd be in the middle of arguing over witnesses.

01:25:24.540 Then you have the Iowa caucus on is that on a Monday night or a Tuesday night?

01:25:30.700 And then the next night, oddly Monday and then Tuesday is the State of the Union address and the launch of stew does America on the blaze.

01:25:39.560 I mean, what an amazing blaze.

01:25:40.680 One of those things just doesn't belong.

01:25:42.520 But we'll let you figure that out.

01:25:45.040 It's it's going to be a couple of amazing weeks.

01:25:47.920 You may be up in D.C. for the State of the Union.

01:25:49.820 I'm going to I think I'm going to be there.

01:25:51.320 I don't know.

01:25:52.540 I've been trying to book you for the first show.

01:25:53.980 I thought it would be interesting to give a perspective on Iowa and the State of the Union.

01:25:57.840 Can we get that done now?

01:25:59.040 We've got about 10 seconds to kind of lock that in.

01:26:01.540 Just you'll commit to what?

01:26:03.080 It's for your show.

01:26:03.720 Two blocks.

01:26:04.420 Nope.

01:26:04.720 Maybe a couple of segments just to discuss.

01:26:07.640 Nope.

01:26:07.760 Anything on your show?

01:26:08.940 Nope.

01:26:09.480 You're not available or what would be the reasoning?

01:26:12.220 Standards.

01:26:12.940 Standards.

01:26:13.560 Even I have standards.

01:26:15.240 And it's way too low for my standards.

01:26:17.520 Way too low.

01:26:18.120 Way too low.

01:26:23.980 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:26:38.920 The New York Times has made their pick for who they think should be the Democratic nominee.

01:26:43.580 Well, they actually picked two because.

01:26:49.940 Well, I'll explain it in a second.

01:26:52.100 Also, we have the senators that are running.

01:26:57.780 Not really able to be on the campaign trail in Iowa because the Senate is locked in an impeachment trial starting tomorrow.

01:27:09.920 So these global warming experts are going to fly from Washington to Iowa and back every single day.

01:27:17.700 That's good for the environment.

01:27:19.200 You know, you really don't need expensive blades or creams or soaps or gels or anything foaming for a close shave.

01:27:39.780 What you really need is Shave Secret.

01:27:42.140 Shave Secret is a proprietary blend of essential oils and it dramatically reduces the nicks and the cuts and the ingrown hairs and even that pesky shaving rash that you might give.

01:27:54.440 What you do is you just take, I think it's five drops.

01:27:58.180 I just kind of squirt a little bit and five drops if you're counting and you just put it on your face or on your legs and you can shave and you will have the closest, most comfortable shave.

01:28:08.600 You actually, it will actually help all of the shaving process.

01:28:11.960 It will help the razors, I think.

01:28:13.580 At least that's what I think.

01:28:15.420 The razors last a little longer.

01:28:17.280 Check out all of the five-star reviews on Amazon and Google and Facebook.

01:28:21.900 Shave Secret will replace all of those expensive shaving creams and gels.

01:28:27.260 Three to five drops to a wet palm.

01:28:29.420 That's it.

01:28:30.700 Both men and women.

01:28:32.380 Now, you can find it online at Amazon and ShaveSecret.com.

01:28:36.140 So give it a try.

01:28:37.560 You'll see what thousands of others are saying about it.

01:28:40.600 It's available regionally at H-E-B and Wegmans Grocery Store.

01:28:44.860 I think it's at Walmart.

01:28:46.380 Also at Amazon or at ShaveSecret.com.

01:28:49.300 But if you go to ShaveSecret.com, use the promo code BEC and you're going to get a 10% discount now at ShaveSecret.com.

01:28:56.600 Mr. Steve Dace, welcome to the program from Iowa.

01:29:11.220 Probably, I think, the leading expert on our program or on the Blaze TV when it comes especially to Iowa, but maybe politically.

01:29:22.480 You are really dialed into this.

01:29:24.260 You have been not only watching it, but participating in politics and the electoral process there in Iowa for years and years and years.

01:29:33.640 Welcome to the program, Steve.

01:29:34.740 Good morning, Glenn.

01:29:36.700 Thanks for having me back.

01:29:37.580 How is this race different than the other races that you've seen over the years?

01:29:44.940 I think what makes this race different than any other is this is 2012 for the Democrats, where if you go back to the 2012 Republican primary, it was all about anybody but Obama, anybody but Obama, anybody but Obama.

01:29:58.900 And then as the primary got going, it became anybody but Romney.

01:30:02.060 Romney was clearly established as the establishment candidate.

01:30:05.940 And so you had these flavors of the month come up and who could capture the imagination of the grassroots and stop Mitt Romney from being the nominee.

01:30:14.780 That's how this process began for them.

01:30:17.200 But they ended up with somebody who belly flopped as a Mitt Romney and is underperforming in the early states, dramatically so, compared to all of his national polling.

01:30:28.460 And just to show you how ridiculous national polling is, today there's a presidential primary poll of New Jersey for reasons only a law knows.

01:30:36.440 Okay?

01:30:36.580 I mean, there's no – because I just wanted to bill people.

01:30:39.940 I wanted to call people.

01:30:41.340 New Jersey's opinion on the presidential process is irrelevant.

01:30:44.440 And so it goes back to what I told you guys a couple of weeks ago, that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks except that they live in Iowa, Nevada, South Carolina, and New Hampshire right now.

01:30:54.140 And I think what we're – so there's this free-for-all because no one has established their lane.

01:30:58.720 They don't have a clear establishment candidate.

01:31:01.360 Biden is leading in that subprimary, but he can't close the sale because, frankly, he's incompetent.

01:31:06.460 And you saw that come out in the debate last week, where as the debate were on, so did he.

01:31:11.200 And so nothing is established.

01:31:14.600 It is really, to use a wrestling term, it is a battle royale right now.

01:31:18.520 They're all in the ring together taking shots.

01:31:21.800 So who's up and who's down from last week?

01:31:26.640 I think the – I think nothing has really changed from last week.

01:31:30.360 I think right now you have a Warren, Bernie Sanders free-for-all for the grassroots – Bernie is the Ron Paul character.

01:31:41.660 He has an insurgent wing of people that just want to disrupt the process and see him either personally or ideologically.

01:31:49.460 And I'm not drawing a moral equivalency between the two, a situational one.

01:31:52.320 So either they see him ideologically or personally as a disruptor.

01:31:57.180 But there's not enough of those people to win.

01:31:59.660 And so he's got to grow his coalition.

01:32:01.900 And Elizabeth Warren has always ate into his ability to do that.

01:32:05.140 And in the last couple of weeks, it looked like he had pushed her back or whether she had made enough mistakes to hurt herself.

01:32:10.360 But now you're seeing, including with the New York Times editorial this morning, you're seeing the more establishment hard left now, meaning the more polished, softer side of Sears, as I call it.

01:32:19.720 They're now coming – surging back to try to push her over the top on Bernie Sanders. 0.94

01:32:25.000 And that's where they're doing body language analyses of Bernie on these channels that are all pro-Warren.

01:32:30.940 And so I think that's really the only thing is there's now like a second Ted offensive on behalf of Elizabeth Warren from the media.

01:32:37.700 So it's interesting to me that you saw that bias in the last debate with CNN where they just believed Warren and just dismissed Bernie Sanders.

01:32:47.480 But also the New York Times now has – and I don't remember the New York Times offering two candidates before, but this time they're offering two candidates as their editorial pick.

01:33:01.200 Explain.

01:33:02.380 I think this is a very strategic decision.

01:33:04.620 I don't think it's just – some of it is pathos.

01:33:07.960 It's just pure emotion of a newsroom that just wants it to be the year of the woman so bad.

01:33:12.960 But I think beyond that, I think that Warren is their candidate.

01:33:16.580 And Amy Klobuchar is not competing with her in Iowa.

01:33:19.380 You look at – Amy Klobuchar is running ads right now. 0.99

01:33:21.920 I get more done than any other Democrat.

01:33:23.760 I'm Iowa, Minnesota nice.

01:33:25.540 She's running in Joe Biden's subprimary.

01:33:28.380 And so I think this is – I think the New York Times here is trying to do two things.

01:33:31.480 Number one, they're trying to elevate Amy Klobuchar to diminish Joe Biden.

01:33:35.900 I think there's a fear that Amy Klobuchar is fading and that Joe Biden will kind of get that.

01:33:41.040 We've just got to win lane all to himself and overperform on caucus night.

01:33:44.780 So they're trying to elevate Amy Klobuchar as a viable alternative to him.

01:33:48.620 And then I think it's the idea that if she can do well enough promoting an all-female ticket for the presidency in the general election in the fall, a Warren Klobuchar ticket. 0.65

01:33:58.720 So I think there's two different things going on here with what the New York Times did this morning.

01:34:03.100 Steve, what do you think of the people in Iowa that matter, the big power players that are making these sort of calls and pushing voters and have the real influence there on the ground?

01:34:19.300 What do they think is going to happen?

01:34:20.520 Well, they don't know, and I think that's why you've seen, Stu, Tom Vilsack, who was our – I guess we call him more moderate Democrat governor in the early 2000s.

01:34:30.580 And I think that's why you're seeing him and John Kerry, who won the Iowa caucuses here in 2004.

01:34:36.460 I think that's why you're seeing a lot of the old guard come back in here.

01:34:39.980 They're trying to rescue Joe Biden.

01:34:42.100 And I think if they thought for sure that he had this, they wouldn't risk outing themselves and alienating their own grassroots.

01:34:49.040 I think this is triage, or maybe it takes a village to win a caucus.

01:34:53.360 I think they're all trying to chip in and carry him across the finish line here.

01:34:57.840 And I think the goal is just get Joe Biden the Super Tuesday in all those southern states with all those black voters and just have him be viable until then. 0.77

01:35:04.960 And he can at least sweep enough of those states to force a convention, if not win the nomination.

01:35:09.320 I think that's what their play is, and I think the fact that they're getting so active here down the street – or down the stretch, Stu, indicates they're concerned about his ability to close the sale.

01:35:19.980 Well, that's – I mean, that's worse than a Romney candidacy.

01:35:24.440 Agreed.

01:35:25.300 Agreed.

01:35:25.600 Romney, whatever you thought about him as a candidate, and I didn't think very highly on an ideological level, as a personal candidate, very polished, in charge, in command.

01:35:35.340 And seldom did you see him get, you know, ruffled.

01:35:38.980 You know, McCain did that to him in 08 in the New Hampshire primary, and he said, you are the candidate of change.

01:35:43.480 And the race changed in 08 right at that moment because it was the first time we'd ever seen Mitt Romney not on his mark.

01:35:50.420 In 2012, when I was on the Newt campaign and Newt bloodied him up in that South Carolina debate, that changed that whole primary was in that debate.

01:35:58.000 But those are the rare instances where Mitt Romney did not command the stage when he was in the room with the other candidates.

01:36:04.220 Joe Biden cannot do that.

01:36:06.240 He could have probably done that.

01:36:07.540 I mean, Mitt Romney is also about 10 years younger, if not more.

01:36:10.780 Now he's about 10 years younger than Joe Biden.

01:36:12.380 So I think we're being hard on Biden, but in reality, guys, this is what most 80-year-old men are.

01:36:18.920 Most 80-year-old men get off a good blast or two and make you think, hey, the old man still got it.

01:36:23.540 And then you sit down for another half an hour, and, you know, he's asleep with a cigarette dangling out of the side of his mouth. 0.99

01:36:28.400 You know, like he's going to burn the whole damn house down. 0.82

01:36:29.940 I mean, that's what most 80-year-old men are, and that's what you've seen with Joe Biden out on the campaign trail. 0.99

01:36:34.820 We saw that in the documentary Christmas Vacation.

01:36:37.440 That exact thing happened.

01:36:38.300 And it's not only that, but Mitt Romney had support, but it was milquetoast.

01:36:47.020 If nobody had to drag him across the finish line early on, if they're dragging this guy across the finish line,

01:36:55.040 when you lose all the momentum of the Warren Sanders, the people that, you know, voters are excited about,

01:37:03.340 you've got somebody that no one is excited about.

01:37:07.320 No one.

01:37:08.300 And he's fallen into the trap.

01:37:11.160 All of his ads down the stretch here are his polling numbers against Trump.

01:37:15.920 I'm the guy that can win.

01:37:17.380 Regular Iowans on camera saying eventually we have to win.

01:37:21.400 And so he was supposed to be the Mitt Romney of this race.

01:37:25.660 He was supposed to be the adult in the room with experience while the grassroots kind of fiddled and played favorites and was going to kind of run and hide.

01:37:33.000 He's ended up becoming the Jeb Bush here.

01:37:35.080 And so what matters now is whether Bernie Sanders can be the Donald Trump, meaning, again, the disruptor who can widen his coalition beyond people who just want to watch the system burn because they hate it,

01:37:48.260 or whether Elizabeth Warren can be the Ted Cruz, meaning, again, I'm not drawing moral equivalencies, just situational ones, meaning beyond people who just passed her ideological test.

01:37:59.100 Can she grow a coalition beyond that? 0.98

01:38:02.920 Cruz and Trump both passed those tests in 16, which is why they were the last two standing candidates after Jeb Bush folded.

01:38:09.720 Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are trying to pass that test right now.

01:38:13.700 Imagine going back to the 2016 Republican primary, Trump and Cruz flail, and you're left with, well, I guess we go with Jeb Bush because there's nobody left.

01:38:21.480 That's essentially the argument right now for Joe Biden.

01:38:26.420 One last question.

01:38:28.680 Did you see the poll?

01:38:31.200 I think it's 86 percent of farmers overwhelmingly approve Donald Trump now.

01:38:36.660 Does that play a role anymore in Iowa?

01:38:39.680 Sure does.

01:38:40.320 I mean, we had 33 counties that voted twice for Obama in 08 and 12, pardon me, that voted for Trump in 2016, and he lost a lot of those counties in the 2018 midterms.

01:38:54.700 And, you know, that's why it was a good Democratic year in our state in the last election.

01:39:00.400 So, yes, it does matter.

01:39:02.060 Well, let me put a finer point on it.

01:39:03.680 It matters not as much as the national media thinks, okay, because that population has diminished, but it still matters more than most people probably believe.

01:39:14.060 The truth is somewhere in the middle, but absolutely it does matter on some level, no doubt about it.

01:41:02.600 We pause for 10 seconds.

01:41:04.100 Station ID.

01:41:14.600 We're looking at some of the most recent polling out of Iowa.

01:41:17.220 And there was a poll from the Des Moines Register, which is one of the highest-ranked pollsters around, that had Bernie Sanders in the lead, Warren in second, Buttigieg in third, and Biden in fourth.

01:41:29.220 And, you know, it was a tight top of the ticket there between Sanders at 20 and Biden at 15.

01:41:34.420 But that made a lot of news.

01:41:35.520 Since then, however, there's been several more polls released, and some of them from really good pollsters that have—all of them have Biden in the lead.

01:41:42.100 There was one today that came out, Biden 24, Warren 18, Buttigieg 16, Sanders 14, Klobuchar 11.

01:41:49.500 She's hitting double digits now in some of these. 0.77

01:41:51.160 Same thing from yesterday, 23 for Biden, Buttigieg 17, Warren 15, Klobuchar 11, Sanders 10, which is the first time I've seen Klobuchar in the top four.

01:42:03.840 But there's an interesting one from Monmouth University.

01:42:06.760 And Monmouth, again, is a very highly rated pollster.

01:42:09.900 They asked the question two different ways.

01:42:12.000 First, they asked the typical Iowa field question, and it came out like this.

01:42:18.440 Biden 24% leading the field, Sanders at 18 and second, Buttigieg 17 and third, Warren with 15 and fourth, then Klobuchar at eight.

01:42:26.440 Then, you know, this is when Booker is still there, Booker 4% stire.

01:42:29.720 So what was the question that they originally asked, the first question?

01:42:32.460 The first question was just the normal one, what I just described.

01:42:35.380 Normal poll, here's all the candidates.

01:42:37.600 Okay.

01:42:37.760 Then they asked it a second way, and they said, here are your four options.

01:42:41.940 What do you pick?

01:42:42.940 And this is something that you've talked about many, many times, about being everybody's second choice.

01:42:48.160 That's a path to victory in many ways.

01:42:51.100 Of course, most people will know that Woomp, There It Is, never did hit number one on the charts.

01:42:56.840 However, I believe it was the number one song for the year.

01:42:59.680 And it sat there at number two for like a zillion weeks and was beat out by some other crappy thing.

01:43:05.340 Um, and was number two for a million weeks and wound up being like the number one song for the year, but never actually hit number one.

01:43:11.100 And so I thought there was a little element of this here.

01:43:13.680 So when you take all of these out, Biden leading by six in the major, major one at 24%, Buttigieg in third.

01:43:20.440 When they boiled it down to only four candidates, Biden, Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, it came out like this.

01:43:26.920 Biden at 28, Buttigieg at 25, Sanders 24, Warren 16.

01:43:33.720 Wow.

01:43:34.600 So to translate that, Warren picks up only one point when all of these other candidates are wiped out.

01:43:41.040 Okay.

01:43:41.640 Uh, Sanders picks up six.

01:43:44.300 Buttigieg picks up eight, uh, to go all the way up to second place.

01:43:48.440 And then Biden picks up four.

01:43:50.060 The question is when you eliminate either Biden or Sanders, how do they jump?

01:43:57.060 Because what you've done is you've, you've eliminated everybody else.

01:43:59.840 It was probably a little more moderate than the two extremes.

01:44:03.860 So, well, I mean, you know, does anybody jump to Buttigieg from Warren?

01:44:09.280 Maybe anybody jump to Buttigieg, uh, from Sanders?

01:44:13.500 Probably not.

01:44:14.440 Does anybody jump from Warren or Sanders to Biden?

01:44:18.340 No.

01:44:18.580 Well, it's the, the, this is sort of the lane theory of these elections where there's sort of multiple primaries being played out at the same time.

01:44:28.420 Uh, and you have, and the way we've talked about it mainly, and I think it's the most dominant way, is the sort of crazy left socialist way and the just a liberal Democrat wing.

01:44:39.080 Right?

01:44:39.640 They, most people would call that the moderate wing, though I see very little moderate out of any of these candidates that are supposedly moderate.

01:44:46.960 They're not moderate as far as the national constitution.

01:44:50.100 Yeah. 0.98

01:44:50.800 They're all crazy leftists in this primary.

01:44:54.220 However, there's a difference between, obviously, Sanders and, uh, Warren and Steyer, who you'd put out there, and people who are, you know, the Buttigieg, the Biden, the Klobuchar. 0.57

01:45:05.880 Um, but there's another way that these lanes break down, which is this sort of like, uh, white, suburban, intellectual, elite, wealthy, cul-de-sac person.

01:45:20.160 Those are Biden and Warren.

01:45:21.300 And those, well, they wind up, Buttigieg does really well there.

01:45:24.640 Really?

01:45:25.020 Yeah.

01:45:25.280 So Buttigieg and Warren, who shouldn't necessarily share people on an ideological position, um, at least, at least in the theory of this, of the lanes.

01:45:35.880 Um, wind up sharing a lot of voters because they kind of have a similar profile as a candidate where, uh, that's not necessarily the same as, you know, Sanders is coming at this as like a blue collar socialism, a workers of the world unite socialism.

01:45:50.600 And Warren is coming at this as a Woodrow Wilson socialism, a, a, you know, from the top down, I'm, I'm an intellectual and I'll have all the plans for you sort of approach.

01:46:00.120 So there's a lot of the same policies, but a different sort of messaging.

01:46:03.240 But Warren doesn't get the, the nod in Iowa.

01:46:06.400 If that's true, what you just said, Buttigieg could do quite well.

01:46:10.160 And that's, you know, you kind of want to declare the Buttigieg thing over.

01:46:14.800 I think there's a temptation and I think it's very still, it's still possible.

01:46:19.020 It could be over.

01:46:19.880 He's not, he's not as strong, but think of this, think of this, think how much trouble that party is in.

01:46:27.000 Yeah.

01:46:27.140 Cause he's really the only up and comer in this group, isn't it?

01:46:29.820 I mean, I guess you could make the argument Klobuchar is thinking up and comer.

01:46:32.880 They're coming up to heaven.

01:46:34.620 You know, I'll be there soon.

01:46:37.480 There's a lot of up and comers.

01:46:38.940 A lot of those about to graduate to a higher class soon.

01:46:46.220 It is funny because, you know, the Democrats don't typically win with older candidates.

01:46:51.300 No.

01:46:51.680 This is, you know, the John Kerry sort of approach is not a very good approach for them.

01:46:56.620 You know, Walter Mondale and like this sort of.

01:46:59.480 Those were spring chickens compared to this. 1.00

01:47:01.920 Yeah.

01:47:02.320 I mean, they're all, I mean, look, Trump's no spring chicken either.

01:47:04.880 I mean, this is not a young field.

01:47:06.340 No, but Trump doesn't feel, you know, like Warren, how old is Warren?

01:47:08.800 She's got to be 75, 73.

01:47:11.120 I don't think she, I think she's 69 or 70.

01:47:13.400 No, she's not.

01:47:13.920 She's in her seventies.

01:47:15.020 Okay.

01:47:15.400 We'll get it.

01:47:15.780 She's not in her seventies.

01:47:16.980 We're getting it.

01:47:17.480 Well, then I take this back.

01:47:18.560 I was going to say she.

01:47:20.780 She's 70.

01:47:21.400 She's 70.

01:47:21.740 Okay.

01:47:22.340 So she doesn't seem ancient to me where Bernie Sanders seems like father time himself.

01:47:29.000 Uh, Joe Biden seems like grandpa right before you take the keys away, or maybe it was a

01:47:34.620 few days after before you ship him to the nursing home, you know, Donald Trump doesn't

01:47:39.720 move or walk or talk like an old guy. 0.99

01:47:42.720 He just doesn't.

01:47:43.480 And the Biden thing has changed a lot.

01:47:45.000 Remember 2012, while he, I thought he was terrible in the debate, he was aggressive against

01:47:49.040 Paul Ryan.

01:47:49.780 He was, he was in his seventies.

01:47:52.020 Yeah.

01:47:52.500 This is now he's getting older and older.

01:47:55.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:47:58.060 I want to tell you about to covis.

01:48:00.720 There is a certain type of person walking around the stage of their frontier, if you

01:48:06.400 will.

01:48:07.060 And, and they are a cowboy.

01:48:09.280 They may not address themselves as a cowboy.

01:48:11.400 They may not think they're a cowboy, but they are.

01:48:13.300 There's somebody that shoots from the hip.

01:48:14.940 There's somebody that's straight talking.

01:48:16.440 They don't cut corners.

01:48:17.840 They do what's right.

01:48:19.240 Every time.

01:48:20.700 That's why cowboys are still popular.

01:48:23.900 Cowboys are still something people would strive to have that attitude of a cowboy.

01:48:28.900 And that's what makes a to covis boot completely different because it is a cowboy boot, meaning

01:48:34.720 they don't cut corners.

01:48:36.100 They do the right thing.

01:48:37.220 It's made by hand.

01:48:38.560 200 steps to make a to covis boot.

01:48:41.680 And it's about half the cost of a boot, similar quality because a cowboy wants a square deal.

01:48:47.800 So I don't care if you've ever been around a farm or a ranch or a horse or a cow.

01:48:54.620 Cowboy boots say something about you and your personality.

01:48:57.500 I'm different.

01:48:58.320 I buck the system and I have integrity.

01:49:01.580 I want you to check out your new cowboy boots at to covis, T-E-C-O-V-A-S dot com slash

01:49:43.020 We have Burgess Owens on.

01:49:45.020 He is a NFL Super Bowl champion and a congressional candidate.

01:49:49.240 He is running.

01:49:51.060 I don't even know which district is he on with us, Burgess?

01:49:54.880 Hi, Glenn.

01:49:55.720 Yes.

01:49:56.120 Which district are you running?

01:49:57.580 Which is it?

01:49:58.200 District number four.

01:49:59.180 Number four.

01:49:59.940 Number four in Utah and a good friend of ours and just a really solid, solid guy.

01:50:06.960 I wanted to have you on.

01:50:07.860 It's Martin Luther King Day.

01:50:09.720 So tell me, how old were you when Martin Luther King died?

01:50:13.820 Oh, gosh.

01:50:14.520 I was a sophomore in high school.

01:50:18.320 Where were you living?

01:50:19.960 I was in Tallahassee, Florida.

01:50:22.040 We were actually at school.

01:50:25.820 We had integrated, Ricketts High School.

01:50:27.520 So we were going through a lot of those issues on those days and pretty tumultuous times.

01:50:32.380 But it was a time also where I can now reflect back, see the benefits of good men who did great things in that period, and now we're living the results of that today.

01:50:42.680 And if I can say this, I was looking at the search engine Bing today, B-I-N-G, and there's a picture of Jackie Robinson and his wife and his son and a bunch of other men and women marching together. 0.78

01:50:55.400 And I just highlight to people that was a – I think Martin Luther King Day represents the era of good men, respectful, patriotic, God-fearing, family-oriented, entrepreneurial, and visionary.

01:51:11.780 If you take a picture of that, you see the environment I grew up in, and I'm so proud to say that that was part of that great generation that taught us good things.

01:51:19.800 Well, there was a different way to go, and it was the Malcolm X way, and there was the Black Panthers. 0.55

01:51:27.080 A lot of people were pushing for this to go towards violence.

01:51:31.660 And I really feel, Burgess, that I don't see the Martin Luther King agent of change out there today.

01:51:40.780 Somebody that – I mean, the left, it's crazy.

01:51:43.600 The left has completely abandoned this guy because he's not radical enough.

01:51:49.800 Well, the left never has embraced Martin Luther King, and this is what you have to understand.

01:51:54.480 What Martin Luther King in that era represented was our Judeo-Christian values that made our country great.

01:51:59.660 They represented the culture that every person, every people, every group that comes here, once they embrace, they succeed and they become part of the middle class.

01:52:08.700 The left has always been anti this American culture.

01:52:14.040 It has always been angry, it has always been undermining, and what they do best is they go after our kids.

01:52:20.960 They attack the most vulnerable, which are children.

01:52:25.660 Kids that are wide open, they're hopeful when they turn them off to school, and they want to do their very best, and they come out feeling very angry, anti-God, and anti-American.

01:52:35.060 So, you know, the left has done what they're doing best, and unfortunately we've allowed them to weave their way into my great community, and what you see in that picture is no longer what we see today.

01:52:45.360 We don't see respectful men and women marching and talking and articulating themselves in a very intelligent way.

01:52:52.160 We don't see that because the left, again, has taken us in a different direction.

01:52:56.440 So, Donald Trump is, we're looking at, I think, 3.9% unemployment, best unemployment since the 1960s, best unemployment for African-Americans of all time.

01:53:10.060 And I have seen African-Americans, Candace Owen is going to be on my TV show tonight.

01:53:15.660 This is the first time we're ever going to be doing something together, and I have a ton of respect for her.

01:53:21.440 She has really grown into a remarkable individual.

01:53:25.720 But that is the things that I'm starting to see, and maybe it's because I'm living in my white world with white privilege,

01:53:36.740 but I'm starting to see African-Americans break out, be themselves, not just be, you know, I hate to use this phrase, but it's accurate, 0.99

01:53:46.920 a slave to the Democratic Party doing whatever they tell them to do.

01:53:51.800 Is that real?

01:53:54.520 It's real.

01:53:55.760 And first of all, please tell Candace to say hello.

01:53:58.200 She's become a good friend of mine.

01:53:59.740 Yeah, she's great.

01:54:00.720 Glenn, when I think of this, and when I was 30 years old, I wasn't even coming close to having the wisdom, the courage, the insight that that young lady has.

01:54:09.980 And she represents this new generation that's waking up.

01:54:14.160 And I'll say this, that the greatest present of President Obama was he was such a lousy president that America is now saying,

01:54:21.920 what ever happened to hope and change?

01:54:23.240 What happened to the promises that not only this black savior was going to give us, but the Democratic Party has been promising us for the last 30, 40 years. 0.88

01:54:29.500 So, yes, we are not only waking up, we are advocating strongly, come off this plantation.

01:54:35.900 We have more and more black Americans now wearing the MAGA hats. 0.99

01:54:38.640 And I was talking to Sarah Carter today, and I asked the audience, you ever see a black American with a MAGA hat on?

01:54:45.160 And please go up and shake his hand and say thank you, because they are on the front line.

01:54:49.620 These are the guys, these are people, men and women, old and young, that say, you know what, I can care less when people call me.

01:54:55.400 I can care less what the, quote, means of our community are right now, what they want us to believe.

01:55:01.340 We are now saying we're going to run off this plantation, not only bring our kids back and our community back,

01:55:07.480 but make sure the rest of America are realizing, do not trust these people.

01:55:12.140 What they have done to us for the last 60, 70 years is exactly what they're trying to do in our country.

01:55:17.180 So I'm very proud, number one, of our country overall, but I'm extremely proud of a president who is standing up against these elitists and has done a great job.

01:55:27.800 And, again, I was one of those guys that was very reluctant four years ago, but when I saw the, three years ago, when I saw the promise, the new deal,

01:55:37.380 the promise, the new deal for urban America, and I saw those 10 tenants that President, that candidate Trump had put together,

01:55:44.020 I said, if only he does this, he'll be worth it for me.

01:55:47.140 He's done that and more.

01:55:48.700 And thank goodness America's coming together to be proud again of who we are,

01:55:52.660 and we can have this conversation that we're going across getting past this racial thing

01:55:57.300 that the left has been driving us toward for the last few decades.

01:56:01.020 As we're looking at the impeachment now, the hearings start tomorrow.

01:56:06.820 Earlier on the program, we had Alan Dershowitz talking about it, and he's getting his head handed to him.

01:56:13.000 Here's a liberal Democrat who didn't vote for Trump and, in fact, wrote his book about impeachment,

01:56:18.660 and the original name of the book was The Impeachment of Hillary Clinton

01:56:21.520 because he thought people would impeach Hillary Clinton, and it turned out to be Donald Trump.

01:56:25.480 What are your thoughts going forward here on this impeachment?

01:56:32.640 Okay.

01:56:33.560 Well, first of all, the campaign that I put together, Glenn, is based on four tenants.

01:56:39.280 It was given by Booker 2 Washington, Head, Heart, Hands at Home, Education, God, Industry, and Family.

01:56:49.220 What we're doing now, we're seeing the fact that when godless ideology takes over,

01:56:54.080 which is what the socialists and monsters are, they could care less about rule of law,

01:56:58.280 they could care about what's fair, and they would turn on their own

01:57:00.860 because they really care more about power than any type of loyalty.

01:57:04.740 So this is what people have to recognize.

01:57:07.540 Take God out of the picture, and you get total evil.

01:57:10.800 And what we're dealing with, I'm not talking about people.

01:57:13.260 There are people who adhere to this evil, but more and more important is the ideology

01:57:17.560 that nowhere in the history of mankind has ever done anything but given misery, hopelessness, and anger.

01:57:22.840 So what's happening now is we have a president who's giving our country the best society,

01:57:27.640 the best economy we've ever experienced, jobs, entrepreneurship,

01:57:32.000 like 400 percent of black entrepreneurship in the first two years, women working like crazy. 1.00

01:57:38.060 I mean, it's across the board.

01:57:39.500 It's never been this way, and the left has never been more angry

01:57:43.480 because the people, we the people, are not miserable.

01:57:46.300 They are not, they don't have the power.

01:57:49.620 So President Trump is slowly but surely pulling back the curtain, first of all,

01:57:53.540 to realize how insidious these people have been for a long, long time.

01:57:57.860 And not only that, but realizing that, you know, we can't have a very happy society

01:58:02.680 that's based on harmony and looking at each other and inside out,

01:58:05.740 and we can have our kids excited about our future.

01:58:08.240 And those are things that they have, they hate with everything that they're all about.

01:58:14.160 And so they're trying to destroy him because of this.

01:58:16.300 So it's going to be very obvious, I think, to most Americans, those who are fair,

01:58:21.280 and I think that's what most Americans are, they're fair,

01:58:23.860 and they just want people to keep their word, keep it that simple.

01:58:26.680 And because he's doing that, they are losing power,

01:58:30.440 and they don't see it because they have no wisdom,

01:58:32.580 because there's no God in their purview.

01:58:34.520 So we're going to continue to move forward and get our country back,

01:58:38.020 and I'm very, very excited about being part of that process.

01:58:40.240 Burgess, we'd like to give the web address for people to come and help your campaign.

01:58:43.840 However, we can't do that unless we get a Super Bowl pick.

01:58:46.520 Chiefs, 49ers.

01:58:48.420 Well, listen, I'm a Philadelphia guy, like you are.

01:58:51.460 So, you know, I've got to go with Andy.

01:58:53.160 Andy's a great, classy, classy guy.

01:58:55.600 He really is.

01:58:56.200 I'm at a point now where I root for teams based on coaches.

01:59:00.340 So for the last few years, if the Raiders haven't been close,

01:59:02.340 it's always been Kansas City because Andy Reid,

01:59:04.520 is a first-class individual.

01:59:06.180 So, by the way, my website is BurgessForTheFourTenantsForUtah.com.

01:59:11.800 And if I can say this for those in the audience, it's not just Utah.

01:59:16.000 The values we have here are those four tenets I mentioned,

01:59:19.020 and it's time for us to take those values back to D.C.

01:59:21.640 instead of letting D.C. come here.

01:59:23.440 And because it's the most important seat, one of the top seats in this country,

01:59:27.840 the Democrats need to have the seat to keep the power.

01:59:30.860 We need to have the seat to get back our country.

01:59:34.520 So, America's crossed the board. 0.63

01:59:36.120 Please support me in this process to get our country back at BurgessForUtah.com.

01:59:41.620 Thanks a lot, Burgess.

01:59:42.380 Appreciate it.

01:59:43.180 Burgess Owens, you bet, NFL Super Bowl champion.

01:59:47.380 And I think he beat the Eagles, didn't he?

01:59:52.120 Didn't he?

01:59:52.900 I think he was part of that team that took down the Eagles.

01:59:55.660 One of the reasons I will never vote for the man.

01:59:58.360 He's going to be great.

01:59:59.260 He'll be great.

02:00:00.000 He'd be great.

02:00:00.620 I really like him.

02:00:02.020 He has guts and then some.

02:00:05.600 He does.

02:00:06.220 And you know what's amazing is Candace Owens is the same.

02:00:10.460 He's exactly right about Candace.

02:00:12.080 Candace Owens is on, I didn't have half the guts or intelligence that she has now. 0.67

02:00:17.100 And there are a lot of people like that, that we were not, you know, when you were 20,

02:00:23.300 when I was 20, we were asleep at the switch because we weren't being pushed anywhere.

02:00:27.560 I mean, it was like great.

02:00:29.380 Everything was fine.

02:00:30.260 I barely woke up to make it into the place where the switch was.

02:00:33.500 I didn't even have a switch.

02:00:35.200 I didn't even know where the switch was.

02:00:37.380 And now these people are being awakened, you know, 10, 12, 13 years old.

02:00:44.200 And they are remarkable.

02:00:46.400 And Candace, don't miss tonight's show.

02:00:48.420 Candace is one of those people.

02:00:49.980 I think she's, I think when she's 35, she should run for president. 0.55

02:00:53.760 She's that, I think she has made that much progress in just the last two years.

02:01:01.440 You know, I've watched her before and I've been like, okay, she's really good.

02:01:04.600 And I really like her, but she's kind of weak over here and here and here.

02:01:07.820 She is cracking those books, man.

02:01:11.020 She is really remarkable.

02:01:13.180 Anyway, Candace Owens tonight, Blaze TV, five o'clock.

02:02:58.560 Oh, thank God.

02:03:00.800 You know.

02:03:01.840 Sure, she's just as thrilled.

02:03:03.660 No, probably not.

02:03:05.280 Because, honey, it's a disaster area.

02:03:09.960 I mean, I think my primary job when my wife is gone is just to keep my children alive.

02:03:16.040 Yeah.

02:03:16.500 Wouldn't you agree?

02:03:16.980 That's it.

02:03:17.480 Okay.

02:03:18.060 Keep my children alive.

02:03:18.960 Remember to feed them.

02:03:21.920 Yeah.

02:03:22.340 I mean, that works with the keeping them alive thing.

02:03:24.740 If you don't feed them and they stay alive, it doesn't matter.

02:03:26.680 And I say that they are teenagers, so they got to remember that stuff their own self.

02:03:30.680 You know.

02:03:31.420 Take care of the essentials.

02:03:33.480 Make sure there are no wolves in the house.

02:03:36.720 Yeah.

02:03:36.940 It shouldn't be stray, random.

02:03:38.760 Wolves.

02:03:39.940 Marauding.

02:03:40.380 Yes.

02:03:40.740 Anything.

02:03:41.460 Really.

02:03:41.960 Yes.

02:03:42.140 Okay.

02:03:42.300 Keep them safe.

02:03:43.020 Keep them alive.

02:03:43.580 And then, you know, keep the clothes, you know, clean and they're at school.

02:03:51.480 Borderline.

02:03:51.920 Yeah.

02:03:52.040 But, like, school is a good one.

02:03:54.260 Try to get them there.

02:03:55.080 Right.

02:03:55.520 On the days they're supposed to be there.

02:03:56.620 Okay.

02:03:56.760 You have lower standards than I do.

02:03:59.180 I disagree.

02:04:00.260 I think we are at that point of, look, this is it.

02:04:05.380 When you are put in this position and your wife is away doing whatever she's doing. 0.73

02:04:09.840 It's not like she's having a picnic.

02:04:11.280 She's been in the hospital with my father-in-law.

02:04:14.060 I know.

02:04:14.400 She's got a really good reason.

02:04:15.640 For the last week.

02:04:16.760 And, meanwhile, my daughter, at the same time, went into the hospital for brain surgery.

02:04:22.460 It's been a very difficult, stressful couple weeks for you.

02:04:24.880 Yes.

02:04:25.280 And that's why you have to let go of these side items you've been worrying about.

02:04:30.020 Yeah.

02:04:30.220 See, I don't think laundry is a side item.

02:04:32.740 Oh, I think it is.

02:04:33.840 You can't wear dirty clothes.

02:04:34.960 It's not possible.

02:04:36.320 It's possible, but then my wife comes home tomorrow night to a gigantic pile of her family's laundry. 1.00

02:04:42.180 Oh, she's going to be thrilled.

02:04:43.660 That's all she's coming back to.

02:04:45.880 Well, she's coming back to a lot more.

02:04:47.880 What percentage of the house did you burn down?

02:04:52.720 Down? 0.94

02:04:53.320 Burn it down to the ground. 0.99

02:04:54.800 None. 1.00

02:04:55.580 She's going to be thrilled.

02:04:56.600 Right.

02:04:56.860 All you can do is maintain the very basics of life.

02:05:02.540 So this is actually an argument that started, like, at 7 o'clock this morning between Stu and I.

02:05:07.880 He said, I said, man, this weekend we took down all the Christmas decorations and I just can't keep track of everything.

02:05:15.460 I can't multitask at the house like my wife can, you know? 1.00

02:05:19.220 And I think it's just because of, not lack of skill, I can multitask, but I just don't know.

02:05:25.060 There's no, it's like, you know, getting into an airplane and somebody saying, oh, it's your turn to fly.

02:05:31.940 Here, you know, here's a list of things you should do.

02:05:35.400 Right.

02:05:35.540 But this is the problem with you.

02:05:36.660 It's like you've been thrown into the pilot seat.

02:05:39.540 You're like, well, let me make sure the beverage service is still going.

02:05:43.000 Like, these things are side items.

02:05:45.520 You try to keep anything you can to keep the house in standing order, meaning it's standing up, and the kids as well also standing up.

02:05:58.260 I think there's a little more than that.

02:05:59.280 Here's the thing.

02:06:00.640 I think, I'm not sure, because I would have completely panicked if they were both four and five years old, would have panicked.

02:06:07.580 But they're teenagers.

02:06:09.400 You don't leave a parent alone, and I'm not unarmed, but I am unwilling to use them on my own children at this point.

02:06:21.180 I just want the kids to know that.

02:06:22.460 There is a caveat there.

02:06:24.980 You can't leave a parent alone with teenagers.

02:06:27.740 That's not right.

02:06:29.960 It's not right.

02:06:31.740 Again, whatever you try to do in this situation is only going to make things worse.

02:06:36.380 You need to come to that realization, and then just don't do things. 0.97

02:06:39.520 You are a lazy husband. 0.73

02:06:41.020 Lazy? 0.99

02:06:41.500 I'm trying to help.

02:06:42.460 I'm trying to help you. 1.00

02:06:43.540 You are a lazy, lazy husband. 0.99

02:06:44.860 And that's saying something, because I'm a lazy husband. 1.00

02:06:46.680 All the crap you did, she's going to come back and say, oh, you did this wrong, you did this wrong, you did this wrong. 0.99

02:06:50.280 You're going to fail. 1.00

02:06:52.160 True.

02:06:52.440 True.

02:06:52.520 True.

02:06:52.640 True.

02:06:52.760 True.
