SCOTUS Stands Against Leftist Mob, Keeps Trump on the Ballots | Guests: Steve Baker & Karina Yapor | 3/4/24

and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.

When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.

When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.

Oh, come on.

They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.

Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.

Whatever.

You were made to outdo your holidays.

We were made to help organize the competition.

Expedia made to travel.

So I just wanted to start Monday with a little song I wrote over the weekend.

Rough greens,

it helps your dog eat his food.

Food with rhymes of food.

So

he's your best friend, dude.

That's why you feed him rough greens.

Yow.

And I think that is, I mean, that's just, I mean, that only took a couple of days to work on.

So I think that's a good thing.

That was your whole weekend, pretty much.

That was a whole weekend writing that.

Try out Rough Greens.

It's not a dog food.

It's a supplement you put on your dog's food full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants.

You name it.

Healthy for your dog.

Probably in Rough Greens.

I would sing the jingle again,

but I don't remember it.

Yeah, it is a work in progress.

Anyway, get Rough Greens now.

RUFFGreens.com slash Beck.

RUFFGreens.com slash Beck.

That's the problem with the jingle is they're supposed to be catchy.

And every time I do it, I can't remember what it was.

So roughgreens.com slash back 833 Glenn33 833 G-L-E-N-N33.

to compromise.

We gotta stay together

if we're gonna survive.

Stay the straight

and hold the line.

It's a new day, a time to ride.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

Love that guy.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Supreme Court came out yesterday and said it's going to release one opinion today,

and it is probably the Supreme Court's decision on whether or not Donald Trump can be on the ballot tomorrow in places like Cal in places like Colorado.

So they're given a lot of time, a lot of time.

But

apparently Colorado took him off the ballot because of Section 3 of the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, 14th Amendment.

It says people are not eligible to serve in government if they engaged in insurrection.

Huh.

I want to ask you.

Let's just assume.

Let's just assume that you could just declare somebody guilty of an insurrection.

Is there anybody else?

Anybody else that's on a ballot that we could declare

engaged in an insurrection?

We begin there in just a couple of seconds.

Stand by Relief Factor.

Well, hello, Stu.

How are you?

Glenn, how are you?

Big week this week.

Big week.

A lot going on.

Yeah.

Super Tuesday is tomorrow.

So super.

State of the Union on Thursday.

Oh.

Really?

That's Thursday.

That's Thursday.

Wait, you act.

Wait, you're looking at me like you didn't even realize that.

Realize.

No, of course.

I mean, I set my whole week up for the State of the Union every year.

Really?

Everybody loves that.

Well, you're expected to be on Blaze TV's coverage, so I do hope that you are mine.

Yes,

I do.

I am supposed to interview you for it.

Really?

You should be

kind of a little nervous that you didn't know it was that.

I'm hoping that AI is a little more advanced by Thursday.

As to just generate your interview?

Doesn't look like me exactly.

Like if you have nine fingers on one hand for some reason,

we should just.

Yeah.

We just assume it's a medical issue.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

So anyway, so we got that coming up this week.

And today

we have the Supreme Court coming out and saying whether Donald Trump could be on the ballot or not tomorrow.

That's a big deal.

It's a big deal.

Now,

I'm wondering

how they're going to put him on the ballot.

Didn't they print this without him on the ballot?

No, they printed him with

him on the ballot, I believe.

Okay, so if they say he doesn't have to be on the ballot, then what

I mean,

Go to Kinko's.

I don't know, Freddy print them.

I mean, that's not, that's this, that should be the least important part of this.

They keep acting like this.

It's like, oh, well, these governments just can't turn around reprinting things in a few months.

It's like, he's already won the primary.

Who cares if he's on the primary ballot?

He's going to win the primary anyway.

That's a little bit of taking the drama away from Super Tuesday tomorrow.

But I mean, he's basically already won the primary.

So it's really not that important.

What's, of course, as important as the general election ballot, which they have plenty of time to print.

So they're saying that he can't be on the ballot because of Section 3 of the Constitution's 14th Amendment.

It says people are not eligible to serve in government if they are engaged in insurrection.

First of all, nobody's charged him with that.

I mean, they charged him with, I don't know, making balloon dogs that don't really look like dogs.

I mean, they charged him with everything they possibly could.

Nobody's charged him with engaging in insurrection.

No, you think, and now they have said it, they've publicly said it, charged it in the colloquial sense many, many times.

And they did it intentionally, right?

They immediately used that word over and over and over and over and over again.

You mean the media, which is in bed with the deep state and the intelligence community?

Yes.

Yes, okay.

So they did that, and they did it over and over again because they knew this was one of their outs.

Right.

If he decided to run again, and by the way,

you'll note that they didn't charge him with any of this stuff until after he started running.

But they would have this.

No, no, please don't use the word charge.

They didn't charge him with this.

They didn't charge him with this at all.

They didn't charge him with anything until he started running.

Yes.

Right.

And so

they wait multiple years, and then they complain about the Supreme Court delaying

the trial.

So I was just thinking, you know, when people were burning the cities down?

I do remember that.

And Kamala Harris was saying, hey, I'm going to help fund, you know,

everybody gets out of jail.

You get out of jail and you get out of jail.

She's raising money to bail out the people who did it.

Right.

And she was supporting BLM, which was calling for the overturning, I believe, of capitalism,

the overturning of the American family, was an insurrectionist group.

I don't know.

Could we say that she engaged in insurrection?

Sure, why not?

Everyone does.

No, I mean, seriously, though.

I mean, if Donald Trump, which I don't know,

how is he engaging in insurrection?

How is he?

If you had him,

you know, organizing,

you have texts from Donald Trump organizing the proud boys to go into the Capitol building and overthrow the election, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

All these things they don't have.

Well, then you could charge him with insurrection.

Correct.

They don't have it.

That's why they haven't charged him with it.

By the the way, they didn't even put it in the impeachment.

It wasn't even part of the impeachment they ran out there.

They didn't even like they say it all the time, but they know they don't have it legally.

And of course, they would need it legally to take him off the ballot.

So, what do you think the Supreme Court is going to rule today?

Because it's going to come down in probably the next hour.

They are going to rule that this is nonsense and his name will be on the ballot.

And the question is: the over under

let's call it 6.5 votes.

Over under 6.5.

Do you get a Kagan?

Do you get.

No.

You're definitely not getting Sodomayore.

Forget it.

Do you get a Kagan?

Do you get a Katanji Brown Jackson?

I think it's possible.

I think it's.

Now, I will say, maybe one.

Maybe one out of the way.

You might get Kagan, but I don't think so.

I think it's theoretically possible you can get as high as eight.

You cannot get nine because Sodomayor, I can't even imagine Sodomayor taking any stance that does not agree with whatever AOC wishes in the most feverish of her fever dreams.

The justice whose office leaked the

do you have new information on this?

Oh, no, I don't.

It's one of those things that without any evidence, I just believe.

Histories, mysteries.

Yes, history.

Really, really hard.

Yeah, really, very hard to figure out which one.

Histories, mysteries.

The Dobbs decision early.

Yes, I certainly believe it came from probably Sodomayor directly, but it could have been one of her underlings.

Histories, mysteries.

But that's just speculation, of course.

Allegedly, we believe that.

But I mean, do you think,

because I mean,

there are two cases that are kind of together on this, which are the

and expected to go reverse ways.

The case today says he should be on the ballot and the case that he has immunity, this sort of widespread immunity.

Now, my belief is you will get a pro-Trump ruling today.

You will get a anti-Trump ruling on the immunity case.

And the question is how, I think there's a, there's an instinct, and certainly this is a John Roberts type of instinct to try to get these to be real blowouts, 9-0s, 8-1s in the court, because it shows, you get one on each side, it shows some sort of like unity when it comes to obvious things in their minds.

Do you think it's obvious that the

president doesn't have

immunity

for official presidential acts?

Yeah, I mean, he has limited immunity, right?

Like, I think you're right.

Like, the drone strike is obvious.

Like, if he has a drone strike and, you know, he believes it's part of our military, you know,

again, there's other parts associated with that.

So the drone strike might not be the perfect example, but just to lay it out generally, a military action that he takes

is something that...

I think is obviously within his realm and could not be charged with.

Something where he murdered people on Fifth Avenue obviously would not be

part of that.

This falls in the the middle, I suppose.

I mean, you know, you could certainly make an argument that, you know, arguing for yourself to stay in power after you've lost an election, as this is how they would frame it,

making that is not an official act, right?

That's not something that's helping you.

Arguing that you felt that there was

real

crimes being committed and these crimes, you know, they just need to be investigated.

And this is, of course, how he would frame it.

Correct.

So, I mean,

that depends on where you think they're going to fall in their belief.

And I do not think they're going to fall on Trump's side on that belief.

That's my own belief.

You know, that's where I think they're going to fall.

We'll see.

We've got months before this one plays out.

The one that's coming out today, I don't think there's any question.

I mean, I will be, if he loses it, I will be.

But what about more?

What about the idea that

the states?

are the ones responsible for their elections, not the federal government.

Federal government has nothing to do with it.

Which one are we talking about now?

The one that you think is coming out today.

Well, I mean, mean, I don't think that that, again, you're talking about a federal issue when it comes to

the 14th Amendment.

So I think that that's going.

Look,

what's I think most fascinating about this, and I, again, I am highly confident that Trump will

prevail here.

What's absolutely incredible is how many times we are in this very position.

where we are predicting nine Supreme Court justices' votes.

And what is on the other side of that is utter chaos.

If they were to go the opposite direction on this, it would be

national

emergency status type of stuff.

And we are hours away from this thing coming down.

If it goes the wrong way, basically, Donald Trump can't win the election.

That's basically what is at stake in the next couple of hours.

Now, I don't believe we are at any real risk of this.

So I am oddly sanguine about this particular

period.

But like, how many times have we stood here

or sat here in this particular case looking at the Supreme Court as the last line of defense between our country and utter chaos?

That is a terrible place for us to be.

This should not be as routine as it is.

And I honestly, like, it would, I mean, you, you're much more of an expert on whether the country will turn to chaos in the next five minutes.

But like

if they say that Donald Trump, that states can take him off the ballot and they will take him off in the middle of the state.

They will take him off.

Certainly in blue states.

There will be chaos on the streets.

There will be chaos on the streets.

Even if like, I mean, even if

California decides to do it, there's a lot of people in California who really want Donald Trump to win the election and will have their votes basically taken away from them.

Well, it won't even be framed as that.

It'll be framed as

on,

I think, the American side, it will be framed as

you don't have a right to choose,

let the people choose.

We are here.

That's what a democracy does, is the people choose.

You say you claim, you lay claim to democracy.

Well, the only part of the democratic republic, the only part democracy comes in is one man, one vote.

If you control who we can vote for, what's the difference between you and Vladimir Putin?

What is the difference?

Seriously.

I don't know.

And it's so bizarre they're doing it while constantly arguing about how important democracy is.

I know.

Like this is the only part of the democratic republic.

This is the only democracy part is the vote they're trying to fix.

It's incredible.

Like what form of democracy allows you to be the only one listed as an option?

Like that's not democracy.

That's Saddam Hussein democracy.

It is.

It is.

You know, and I.

Well, the same kind of democracy that throws their reporters in jail.

It is that type of democracy.

The same kind that also

show me the man, I'll show you the crime, and puts the opponents in jail as well.

It's just incredible that they're trying to do this at all because I feel like there used to be, and this is the same thing with the Steve Baker case.

You mentioned the reporters being thrown in jail, and we're talking to him later, right?

No, he's on.

He's on next hour.

It used to be that when there was a question, when it came to national unity, national

foundations of what kept us a country, right?

Like, again, these are just pieces of paper.

Right.

Like, these are documents.

You know, a lot of places have constitutions that get overrun every few years because

17 years is the average length of a world constitution.

Right.

And here we are, 200 plus, right?

Almost 250.

Almost 250.

So So you'd think, right, it used to be that when the appearance of

those things that bind us together were tearing apart,

both sides would come and say, wait a minute, guys, like, all right, like, let's err on the side of not.

This guy, you know, I don't know.

I don't even believe he was a journalist.

But you know what?

He's working at a major conservative outlet.

He's criticizing us.

Like, this should be the last thing we do.

This is just going to send the signal to half the country that we have absolutely no rule of law anymore.

Like the Constitution means nothing.

Maybe this is one we skip the misdemeanor charges.

Correct.

What's the point of it?

What do we get out of it?

First of all, we're completely lying in this situation.

But secondly, what do we get?

We get chaos.

It's playing into those things instead of trying to disable it.

It's weird that in 2009, I kept saying chaos is going to be the operative word when all of this comes.

If you are on the side of chaos, you will be on the wrong side because everyone will be looking for chaos.

It's crazy because here it is.

All right, back in just a second with more.

Lawrence wrote in about his dog's experience with rough greens.

He said, I bought my dog many different kinds of supplements over the years.

She would eat just a little bit of it, not very much.

Usually, she just kind of shied away from it.

But when it does come to rough greens, not only does she eat enthusiastically, she'll finish by licking the bowl clean.

This is so uno now.

She has more energy and it's a treat for her.

Thank you.

Lawrence, thanks for writing in.

Rough Greens is not a dog food, it's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr.

Dennis Black.

You sprinkle it on your dog's kibble food.

Remember, brown food, everything has been cooked out of it.

It's dead food.

You want the green stuff.

The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it that they have a special deal for you.

Just go to roughgreens.com/slash Beck, R-U-F-F-Greens.com/slash Beck, or you can call 833-Glenn33.

So there is a great op-ed by Jonathan Turley about

the Blaze writer, Steve Baker, who was arrested on Friday.

If you listen to Friday's podcast,

former New York Times writer and now Howard University journalism professor Nicole Hanna-Jones declared recently, this is according to Turley.

Have you read this yet?

Yeah, it's great.

That journalism is activism.

Advocacy journalism is all the rage in journalism schools and on major media platforms.

Given that shift in journalism, one would think that these editors and journalists would love Steve Baker.

Baker was arrested for covering what he viewed as citizen protests defying the government and demanding justice.

He did not hide his support for their cause as he reported on what later became a riot.

Baker, however, is a conservative journalist, and the protest he was covering became January 6th riot.

Now, the Biden administration has arrested Baker on four misdemeanor charges linked to his entry into the Capitol on that day.

Baker would not only later supply stories to his mainstream media outlet Blaze News, but also sell his videos to the New York Times and HBO.

So if it didn't have any journalistic credibility, why would they buy that?

Journalists often accompany protesters and even mobs as stories unfold.

Indeed, there were many reporters in the crowd that entered the Capitol, but Baker, the conservative journalist, was the one charged when others were not.

The response from most media figures and groups has been crickets.

The Justice Department leaves little doubt why they pursued Baker.

The criminal complaint and FBI agents' affidavit repeatedly reference Baker's support for those who stormed the Capitol.

Entering through a broken door like hundreds of others, he walked past Capitol police, who stood by and even directed some protesters.

Baker was in the building for only approximately 37 minutes before police let him out.

The government claims that the Texas-based writer antagonized police officers when they blocked his effort to get through a door.

He said, quote, are you going to use that, that gun?

Are you going to use that gun on us?

They also, quote him as later stating in an interview with a local television station that he was quite excited to see this going on.

Do I approve of what happened today?

I approve 100%.

Now, he has an answer to that one coming up in a minute.

He also pointed out his image and footage was emphasizing that his red hat was not MAGA, but Yorktown, Virginia.

He would later joke that it was a shame that he didn't get his hands on Nancy Pelosi's computer given what he might have found.

This is so out of context.

In any other context, Baker might be the poster boy for new journalism.

J schools now encourage students to leave, quote, neutrality behind and push solidarity as a commitment to social justice that translates in action, end quote.

Recent series of interviews with over 75 media leaders, including Leonard Downey Jr., former Washington Post executive editor, and Andrew Hayward, former CBS News president, reaffirmed this.

As Emilio

Garcia Ruiz, editor-in-chief San Francisco Chronicle, stated, objectivity has got to go.

So, what's the problem with Steve Baker?

Glenn Beck.

More on this coming up in just a second and the view from an FBI agent coming up.

The need to protect oneself and one's family is just about the strongest drive a person could feel.

Our founding fathers knew that, and for that reason, among others, they made sure our Constitution protected the right to keep and bear arms.

In situations of self-preservation or the preservation of others, you have a right to shoot somebody.

And as as anybody can tell you who has actually trained with guns, when you shoot, you don't shoot to wound, you shoot to kill.

But not every situation like this calls for lethal violence.

It's always good to have as many options as possible.

That's why you should have a Burna launcher.

It is a non-lethal air pistol that fires fires kinetic or tear gas rounds, and it will stop an attacker dead in his track, minus the dead part.

Government agencies, police departments, they're replacing their taser.

If you or somebody you know carries a taser or, you know, a pepper spray, you need to look into Burna.

Burna launchers are great.

You don't need a license.

You don't need a background check, nothing.

They're legal in all 50 states.

Welcome to the Glen Bet program.

The whistleblowers are so critical right now, and whistleblowers are being suspended.

The whistleblower for Catherine Aridge, which is

crazy, in case you don't know who she is, she is a national security reporter.

She's reported for,

I think, ABC.

She was on CBS, maybe NBC.

She was on Fox.

She's a very big deal.

She was arrested and held in contempt because she won't reveal her sources.

What were her sources?

What did they whistleblow on?

They whistleblowed on the

Chinese in bed with our universities

and the government.

Why does the government need to know who that whistleblower is?

It's like they're trying to find the rat.

So CBS fired her and then took all of her confidential files.

She later got them back.

We don't know if they broke her codes or what.

I'm sure they could have easily.

But now they're demanding that she

reveals her source.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

They're going after all of these whistleblowers and the FBI is no different.

In fact, there's a group called the Suspendables.

Have you heard heard that?

The suspendables.

These are people

that are very, very qualified and very patriotic and have said, we're violating the Constitution like crazy here and I won't do it.

And they've been blowing the whistle.

Steve Friend is now an opinion writer, author, former state and federal law enforcement officer, more than a decade of experience.

He worked as first a patrolman, then narcotics agent in Georgia.

Then he joined the FBI.

He's one of these, you know, Boy Scout guys.

And

then he blew the whistle.

And we have him on the phone with us now.

Hi, Steve.

Good morning, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

Thanks for being on.

You were on with me on Friday.

I did a special

broadcast on Friday after Steve went to

jail,

our reporter here that was arrested, unbelievably for doing his job.

And how do you think, Steve, the FBI agents felt doing that?

Steve said they were very, very polite, but they were the ones here.

You know, I'm very disturbed by the fact that this is not just a problem at the very tippy top of the pyramid.

It is a problem down all the way to the very bottom level.

And there's an institutional problem in the FBI because they can make your responsibility so granular and so small.

And a lot of people are just unwilling or unable to take a step back and look at the full mosaic of what they are part of.

And they just follow orders.

But it's very important to note that all FBI employees go to the Holocaust Memorial Museum and the MLK Memorial Museum as part of training.

And you learn there about the banality of evil.

And you learn that it's incumbent on you.

It's actually your job to throw the flag if you think we're off the rail.

So then why are they going after these guys if that's part of the training?

Well, I think it's a pretty sweet gig to be in the FBI.

They definitely make that

no secret about that fact.

You know, you have the opportunity in the FBI.

Once you are five years in, if you're an agent, you have twenty-six paid days off a year, 13 sick days, 11 federal holidays, three paid hours a week to work on your mental wellness, three paid hours a week to work on your physical fitness, and you're making about $135,000 a year.

And that is presented to you almost immediately.

When I came forward with my concerns about what I saw, I was told, look,

Steve, you're risking your entire career.

And that was put to me.

I was put for a decision for all my chips within 30 to 45 seconds of expressing my first concerns.

And

to me and to other suspendables, we're system idealists.

We're not system disruptors.

We joined the FBI to follow the Constitution, to follow the law.

The system disruptors are the criminals.

But we all saw what's going on with the Bureau right now.

and they are, in fact, the system disruptors who are departing from their prime directive, which should be to protect the American people from risk of fraud and force.

Tell me about Garrett O'Boyle.

Garrett O'Boyle is a good personal friend of mine.

He and I testified last May in front of the weaponization committee.

He's an indefinitely suspended unpaid FBI agent right now.

He came forward with protected whistleblower disclosures, and the FBI

facilitated his transfer from Kansas Kansas to Virginia and then intercepted him mid-transfer, took possession of his household goods, left him without pay, left him homeless in the middle of the winter when he couldn't have clothing for his children, four small girls.

And they did that as retaliation for him coming to Congress with his concerns about what he was seeing about a risk to parents at school board meetings.

And as a result of that, he's continued to fight.

He's been unpaid for over a year and a half now.

And that's why when we leaned into this title of the suspendables, Garrett just started making lapel pins and T-shirts.

And he's using that as basically a form of income to support his family.

I find this incredible.

Tell me about how they just took his, they moved him, transferred him, and then took all of his stuff.

And another whistleblower has come forward with more details about this.

The allegation was made that he went to the media with his concerns.

He did not.

We actually have a signed affidavit from the individual who did go to the media with those concerns.

Garrett went to Congress, as is his right to do as an employee under 5 USC 2303, did it the right way, just like a suspendable, the right way at the right time for the right reasons.

And the FBI found out about it, made the allegation, and then also facilitated his transfer, even though he was, quote unquote, under investigation, which is outside of policy.

And because he was transferring, he'd sold his house.

He arrived on day one.

They took his gun and his badge and his credentials.

And as a result of that, he couldn't close on a new house.

So he was left homeless and his household goods were being transferred.

He had to pay somewhere in the area of between $30,000 and $40,000 to get his own possessions back from the FBI.

Jeez.

And they knew this before they transferred him.

I mean, they should have, if they were going to fire him, fire him where he was.

They not only knew Glenn, they allowed him to go to training where he was getting classified material.

And if you were under investigation and having your security clearance reviewed, you would think that the FBI would not allow you to have access to that information, but they did.

And this other whistleblower has come forward.

And in some pretty colorful language, it was expressed over at the Human Resources Division, the Security Office or the FBI.

They said that they were going to F him over.

And that was the intent.

And that individual who uttered that has since moved on and works for BDO Seedman.

So

he has been now, this is 18 months later, he's still not being paid Because they said that he went to the media, which you say he didn't, and you have a sworn affidavit of somebody who did.

What happened to that guy that did go to the media?

This individual is one of the anonymous members of our suspendables.

And the allegation was that Garrett had gone to Project Veritas.

And that's just not the case.

The same information was presented because this is information that a lot of us saw across the board.

It was directives issued from Carlton Peebles within the FBI to use counterterrorism resources to surveil and conduct assessments and investigations of parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists.

And Carlton Peeples was elevated after doing that, and he now runs the FBI Birmingham office.

So I just wanted people to know about Garrett, because I remember reading this story about 18 months ago and thinking, this is insane, what's happening.

Is anybody really fighting this?

Who is standing up to the FBI on his behalf and on

all of your guys' behalf?

Well, Garrett has some legal representation,

but the process for him is just long and slow.

The allegations of retaliation are going to take years to adjudicate, but he's committed to that because he wants to do things the right way.

All of us have sort of formed this coalition of individuals.

We call ourselves the suspendables.

It was on a lark.

We said we, you know, we're kind of like the expendables.

We had a unique set of skills, but we're all suspended FBI agents.

And we've just continued to try to reach everywhere we can.

We're sort of in an era right now of not broadcasting, but narrow casting.

There's just so many audiences out there who don't know stories like Garrett's and the information that we all brought forward.

So we've reached out to audiences like yours, Glenn, and thank you so much for helping us on this.

And Garrett and I have a podcast, American Radicals podcast, where we talk about this.

Garrett writes a substact called Last Line, which is sort of a reference to being the last line of law enforcement.

And we just keep trying to hammer the message about government weaponization because none of us got into this

for personal enrichment or acclaim.

We just wanted to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.

And as a result of that, we've all sort of suffered consequences, none worse than Garrett, who's a man of honor.

Must have been quite shocking to you when you first blew the whistle.

You had to have believed that, you know, when the rank and file, when everybody figures out what's going on,

they'll stand up.

And it must be quite disappointing to see,

no.

It's incredibly disheartening.

I told you one of the times before we talked that I had sort of expected a Captain America

end game moment where I would here on my left and look over and see 14,000 agents, 38,000 employees stepping forward and actually truly honoring their oath of office.

But too many of them are content to just follow orders.

And it was very specifically told to me when I came forward.

I said, Steve, your job, your duty is to do your duty to the FBI, not respect the Constitution.

And I think too many people have bought into that and say and justify what they're doing.

And then they also have obligations.

They say, I have a mortgage, alimony, I got to feed my kids.

And my response to them is, that's insufficient.

You took a position of public trust, you swore an oath, and I would rather have hungry children than morally bankrupt ones.

It's our job to raise a standard very much

of the Washingtonian.

I don't take an oath at my job.

The 7-Eleven guy doesn't take an oath at his job.

You take an oath.

Does that not mean anything to people?

Apparently not.

I want you to go to the suspendables.com.

This is the way Garrett will boy.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're glad you're here.

Let me give you just an update on my thinking for those who

might care or think like I do.

I think that you as a family need to be, you need to look at from June to

January 7th of next year as a real red zone.

As soon as the conventions start,

anything could happen.

this summer, God forbid, but there are so many things that could happen.

And then as we get close to the election, make sure your family is prepared.

I mean,

I just, I mean, you know this.

Think about it.

Do you see a way this works out where

there isn't at least the BLM riots on the street?

Because I hope not, but I just don't, I don't trust anything anymore.

And with the Democrats saying that they would not

certify the election on January 6th, exactly what they're saying Donald Trump

was trying to do, that they would do that if Donald Trump won,

I just don't see good things.

Just don't see good things.

Now, this is kind of a red zone where you kind of hold your breath, cross your fingers, hope that everybody's better angels actually appear.

But, you know, I don't know.

I believe in God and I believe in being prepared and being able to walk things back.

But I would say that

January 8th is the time to go,

okay, all right.

I think we dodged a bullet this time.

But just be prepared.

Wow.

That's

probably the biggest warning I've ever given with times.

Yeah.

Does it make sense?

I just sat here on national radio and said, we've eaten chaos if the Supreme Court doesn't get the thing right today.

Correct.

So I guess, yes, I suppose I agree with that.

There are a lot of real risks here.

Yeah.

And it doesn't seem like either side is like, you know, if we lose this one, eh.

Yeah.

You know, no big deal.

Yeah.

Doesn't seem like we'll have another shot in four years.

That does not seem like where people's heads are.

No.

So, you know,

there's a lot of bombs in front of us.

Let's just hope that we get out of the minefield and don't step on anything.

But you're in a minefield and you've got tripwires all around you.

We just have to be very careful.

Please be prepared.

I made my first gold purchase back early 2000

and that has done very, very well,

needless to say.

But Lear was the company that helped me do that.

Welcome to the fusion

of entertainment

and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to Monday in the Glenn Beck program.

We've got a couple of things.

We have Steve Baker, who was arrested by the FBI, our investigative journalist, in studio this hour along with his attorney.

But we also have some breaking news on the Supreme Court.

They have made their decision on the Colorado ballot.

I'll give it to you in 60 seconds first.

I frequently tell you that God is not on our side.

We have to be on his side.

And I can't think of a better way to get in his side than to save his children.

And that's, when I talk about that, I mean with pre-born, but I don't mean just the baby.

I mean the moms as well.

The moms, most of them don't want to make this decision, especially after they get a free ultrasound from pre-born, from somebody like you that's paid it.

It's $28 to get an ultrasound.

Once mom sees the baby and hears the heartbeat, the chances of life double.

Then there's the problem, the mom feels alone, nobody to turn to, nobody helping her.

Well, that's where Pre-Born comes in, gives her all the kind of care that she would need for the next two years of the baby's life.

One life-saving ultrasound is $28.

Donate securely, just dial pound250, say the keyword baby, that's pound250, keyword baby, or donate online at preborn.com/slash back.

That's pre-born.com/slash back, sponsored by pre-born.

Stu, you have the ruling from the Supreme Court.

It just broke.

Yes.

And actually, I'm surprised.

They actually got Soda Mayor.

They got everybody.

Unanimous ruling.

Trump can remain on the ballots.

That is great.

We were just talking a few minutes ago.

There are so many tripwires of total and complete chaos.

If they would have gone the other way,

this could be a very, very, very dark day because it would be in chaos and God only knows.

And

it's not surprising, but it should make a clear statement to everybody who is listening to the Democrats talk about, oh, democracy is in trouble, that the only part of the Democratic Republic, which we are, the Democratic part, that that happens with one man, one vote.

And they were trying to tell you who you can and can't vote for.

Yeah, that's how democracy dies.

That's how the republic is killed as well.

All right.

Thank you for that.

If there's any more updates, because they said they might do two today, didn't they?

Or is it just this one?

As far as I know, the only one we've been talking about that we're expecting today is just this one.

All right.

Steve Baker is with us.

He's the investigative journalist for the Blaze.

He's a Blaze media correspondent.

He is in today with his attorney because on Friday he was arrested by the FBI.

If you happen to miss that podcast, it's kind of a don't miss.

It's Friday's podcast.

James Lee Bright is his attorney, and he is with us now.

Welcome back.

Hey, it's good to be back, Glenn.

So I heard you say the very first thing

out, asked

how do you feel?

And you said, humiliated.

Right.

Why?

I thought I was mentally and emotionally prepared for this because I've followed too many of these cases to not have been.

I've seen too many of these guys, even misdemeanor defendants, even misdemeanor independent journalists marched before a magistrate in leg chains and the orange jumpsuit.

So I thought I was ready for it until they put the leg chains on.

And

I mean, I've never even been fingerprinted for anything in my life.

And

actually, in the moment that it was happening,

it was overwhelming.

And then, on top of being chained at your

waist and your legs, then they put you in a cage with a meth dealer.

And of course, Lee can speak to this better than I can, but

the

process of putting a nonviolent misdemeanor defendant who has been utterly and totally cooperative since the very first phone call from the FBI over two and a half years ago.

It could have been just an order to appear.

I could have walked in with Lee, both of us with our jackets and ties on.

We could have sat in the gallery.

They call us up.

We stand before, just as they did for a felony defendant that day.

But I'm

guarded by U.S.

Marshals with leg chains on.

So

how many misdemeanors, Lee,

have you done where they're in leg chains?

How many times do you see that?

In a case like this, almost never.

I've got clients right now that are charged with felony drug cases that we are negotiating with the DOJ for voluntary turn-ins.

There's an active warrant on one that I was speaking with this morning, and the DOJ is working with us to do a voluntary turn in to a magistrate.

We'll do a same-day hearing.

She'll process through pretrial services and be out.

No leg chains, nothing.

This was determined by the DOJ in Washington.

They had us turn Steve into the FBI at their headquarters at 7 a.m.

Walked him through, processed him, put him in leg chains and a waist chain, handcuffs to his waist, and then took him directly to the marshals down at the Capitol building here in Dallas.

Yeah, I don't remember anybody in leg chains and irons for BLM, setting cities on fire.

No, in fact, most of those were just catch and release if they bothered to catch at all.

In fact, most of them had their cases dismissed, and then many of them have been awarded cash payouts from the government because they were unfairly arrested or

prosecuted because obviously we had to understand what their frustrations and what

made them burn a building down.

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: So I was really encouraged by

the op-ed that came out from Jonathan Tourley this weekend.

He makes the point

that

you

might be an

activist journalism or a journalist, activist,

whatever this new thing is that they're doing.

Because you have an opinion.

And Stu and I were talking about it earlier this morning.

Yes, you have an opinion.

I have an opinion, but that doesn't mean that you

are

finding the story you want to find.

You could still have an opinion on things, but as long as you're honest enough to say, I'm going in and I don't know what's going to happen.

I have an idea what could happen, but I'm going to tell the truth no matter which side it falls on.

Is that who you are?

Well, see, that's the thing that obviously not only the charging documents themselves, because the charging documents are what they call the statement of facts, they are, in fact, specifically

put together for the purpose of constructing a narrative

for prosecution, out of context comments.

More importantly, and

this is the key, Glenn.

Look, I'll tell you what, I'll let me let NBC, the court reporter, the guy who does every one of the cases, J6 cases for NBC, he's there every day.

His name's Ryan Riley.

And he tweeted out yesterday.

He said, if it wasn't for Steve's language on January 6th, before

he entered the Capitol, and then after that evening, this case almost certainly wouldn't have been brought.

Okay, so that's, wow, that's interesting here in America.

Let me go through the actual charges, and let's take them one by one.

Can we do that?

So here are the charges.

You want me to read them?

Yes, please.

Okay, so these are the charges listed in the criminal complaint.

That's not the formal filing

of the charge.

That'd be either an information and misdemeanors or an indictment on the felonies.

But this is the criminal complaint that issued the arrest warrant with the supporting affidavit and statement of facts contained.

And Steve's right.

It is written with the intent to create a language narrative.

There's no question.

So, of the four charges that Steve's been charged with, 18 USC 752A1, that's knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority.

That's the one that carries up to a one-year in jail penalty, minimum of six months.

18 USC 1752A2,

disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or ground.

40 USC 5104E2D, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

And then 40 USC 5104E2G, parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

Okay, so the, I don't know, I'm sure you know this now.

I don't know when you found out, but the Speaker of the House released 5,000 hours of videotape, much of it centering around you

and showing that you weren't parading or picketing or being disorderly at all, ever, ever.

Not at all.

So, how do they make that charge?

That's going to be fascinating to see.

Well,

you know, this is, this is, and, and again, I, I, I, I don't want to get into being the legal expert or even trying.

I mean, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but the, the point being is, is that

they always, because I followed so many of these trials, they always overcharge.

But that's not just J6.

That's just, that's DF6.

And that's to scare you into a quick plea deal.

Correct.

They get their, you know, their notch in their belt and their points towards whatever their next career advancement goals are.

And that's essentially what's happening here.

Technically, yes, I went in the building.

Okay, so if that is a crime, then it is a crime.

But charges, hang on, if that's a crime, then the crime has to be punished equally.

So the New York Times, the Washington Post, every single journalist would have to be charged with that crime, right?

I mean, I think we've, I think Steve and I were talking earlier, and I think we've estimated that roughly 60 journalists went into the rotunda, went into the Capitol building on that day.

Six to seven have been charged now.

Out of 60, rough,

all of those have been right of center media.

All of them.

So you

are being made, let's see if I can find it from NBC.

You're made into a total clown by NBC.

The same guy whose tweet I just read.

Correct.

And

he says that you are just a You're in a cover band.

You weren't a journalist at the time.

I don't know who defines journalists now.

He refused to call me a journalist.

Instead, he said, now I'm a writer for the Blaze website.

That was his only way of getting around

having to acquiesce to what I was doing that day.

I apologize.

I got to know Ryan a little bit when we were in trial back in the fall of 22 for three months for the Oath Keepers trial.

I always found him to be a really reasonable fellow.

I like some of his work, but I agree.

The article that he wrote regarding Steve

was a hatchet shot.

It was.

And it was petty.

It was completely unnecessary.

I thought it was really poor reporting.

And it was done not unlike the complaint, not unlike what we see when we're talking language.

It was done to establish a narrative solely to disparage Steve.

So

how do you, first of all, how do you combat the journalist thing?

With him going in, that's a six-month sentence.

Could be.

And he has said, well, yes, technically, I did.

I did violate that.

So, how do you defend that?

Well, number one, I'm not the only attorney on this case.

We've got about five of us that are volunteering on this.

And we're volunteering because we got to know Steve during trials in D.C.

Great reporting.

Always loved spending time with him.

He was one of the few conservatives in the press pool there.

One of the other attorneys.

No, he's a musician, NDC News, a musician and libertarian writer who was a frequent presence at the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C.

during the Oathkeeper seditious conspiracy trial.

What were you doing just hanging out there all the time?

Well, the worst thing that I was doing is I was about half of my reporting was on the press pool.

They didn't like that.

Because I always sat in the back of the room so I could watch them and see what was on, what they were doing, see what was on their screen, see which games they were playing during the important testimonies,

to see who was pre-writing their stories and then just hanging out in the callway talking because that's what they do, and they're really good at it.

They can pre-write two or three stories in a day, and then as soon as the rulings or the motions are filed, they can then fill in the blanks and boom, submit, submit, submit, and they get out.

And then more importantly,

I was able to show on certain very significant testimonies how the comparison of how the various journalists withheld information.

Because see, we we all know

it's not that they lie.

It's the lie of omission.

It's when you're only covering the government's case in chief and their witnesses, and then all of a sudden they get out and go for coffee break during the cross-examination.

How can you tell the truth about what happened in that trial?

Back in just a minute with more in just a second.

First, let me tell you about American Financing.

Mortgage company that has been helping people just like you save money for over a quarter of a century.

They're a family-owned business.

Real part of what's good about this company is that they still have that family-owned attitude.

Their mortgage consultants are salary-based, which means they're happy that you are the customer and they don't have to worry about a bank breathing down their neck because they don't make any bonuses by selling you some instrument that a bank wants pushed.

They never charge any upfront fees, and that's just one of the many reasons they have over 7,200 Google reviews and a 4.7-star rating.

American Financing has been saving people in this audience just last year,

I think it's $826 a month.

That's people from this audience that have called in.

They can help you reduce the load on your credit card by rolling it into your mortgage, where you get maybe 15, 20 points different in your interest rate.

So call American Financing now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

NMLS 182334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.

APR for the rates in the five starts at 6.275% for well-qualified buyers.

Call 800-906-2440 for details about credit costs and terms.

10 seconds, station ID.

So we're with Steve Baker and James Lee Bright, Steve's attorney.

Steve was arrested by the FBI, and all they're trying to do is make his language

something that

you could go to prison for.

Because you didn't say anything except one thing that I read.

You said to the cop as you were trying to get through a door, are you going to use those things on us?

Right.

No, and I wasn't trying to get through the door or trying to push past anybody.

What had happened was, and unbeknownst to me at the time, is only just a couple of minutes before, there had been a shot inside the Capitol, just on the other side of the staircase from where I was, the stairwell where I was.

And you didn't know that?

Of course not.

I had no idea, you know, in the part of the Capitol where I was, where you actually saw me typing and texting and taking notes.

It was just a minute or two after that that there was a shot that happened.

We couldn't hear it over there.

And then I walked down that hallway and then suddenly for the first time all day, weapons are drawn.

We had not seen a single weapon drawn all day long.

Even in the fiercest battle out on the front west terrace that I got, you know, an hour's worth of video out there, not a single officer pulled their weapons, even though I consider many of the attacks that they, they faced that day, that they were justified had they done so.

But they didn't.

Great restraint.

And then all of a sudden, for no reason with which, you know, for which I was aware, guns were out.

I mean, high ready,

they were all there.

And so I'm seeing weapons.

And so I asked them, because all of a sudden, it's not one cop, it's all of them have their guns out.

And the radios are squawking like crazy.

We get triage and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You shots fired.

And it's chaos.

And I said, are you going to use those weapons on us?

Are you going to use those weapons on us?

And then all of a sudden, one of the cops runs over.

I've got it.

I mean, got it full frame right in my camera.

He runs over to me.

He goes, if any of you guys have any any guns, and I said, None of us have guns.

We've got cameras.

And then he goes, and then he stops and he goes, Oh, okay, okay.

And then he apologetically says, Hey, it's not us.

It's not us.

I've got that film.

What does that mean?

He's trying to let us know that this chaos that was happening was not their fault.

It's not us.

It's not us.

We're not doing this.

And

when I learned only minutes later, because I walked past them FBI medics trying to resuscitate this person, I couldn't tell that it was a woman on the floor with all the blood and the confusion and the compressions and all this other stuff.

And then I realized that somebody was shot.

And then I got the actual footage of her being brought out of the building.

and followed her down the ramp on the gurney as they're working on her.

And that was when I said into, you can hear it in my camera, I was like, oh, crap, it's a woman.

And then I actually said, she's gone.

Because you could see in her eyes, it was,

I've seen death before and she was gone.

And

that was

the only thing that, that's the only time inside the building for any reason to anyone that I ever even opened my mouth.

I didn't chant USA, USA.

I didn't sing the national anthem.

I didn't participate in any abuses.

You were a Trump supporter.

No, no.

And then to be in a moment completely surprised to have guns all around you drawn, I wanted to know if I was about to get shot.

I asked a question.

That's all I did.

That's not abusive language.

But back to what you mentioned earlier, as we were talking about.

the statement of facts.

It's a narrative.

Your language is included in there out of context with the intent to distort what you were doing.

And wait till they see the video of the cop coming up to me and apologize.

It's not us, it's not us.

Okay, so we're going to see that or are you going to wait for the turn?

We're going to see that.

Oh, no, you'll see it.

Because there's some other things that they said that you said, again,

after

or before,

so shouldn't be a part of this trial at all because it's what you did inside, not what you said.

But I want to get the explanations on all of those.

We'll do that in just a minute.

So the truth is our American values are under attack.

Our financial system is broken.

We are

talking now to Steve Baker, who was arrested during this program on Friday, investigative journalist, Blaze Media correspondent, and his his attorney, James Lee Bright.

And I want to go through some of the things that

the FBI is saying that really the

NBC is the main driver of this.

A copy of an FBI affidavit provided NBC News by defense attorney William Shipley indicates that federal prosecutors are going to focus on comments from Baker that show he was sympathetic to the mob, including when he referred to Nancy Pelosi as, excuse the language, a bitch,

after talking about somebody, the mob raiding the former speaker's office in a comment in which he said he regretted he didn't steal government property during the attack.

Okay,

so tell me about, let's start with the Nancy Pelosi bitch thing.

Yeah, I actually walked down the hallway, what they call the speaker's hallway, into her suite of offices.

And when I walked in that hallway,

I was probably one of just a handful of people actually going in, and there were just all of a sudden dozens of people leaving.

And I looked into a couple of the offices and saw that there was actual, this is the first time all day I'd seen any property damage itself on the interior.

They've turned over tables, desks,

rifled through bookshelves and knocked all of those contents onto the floor.

As soon as I saw that, I knew I needed to get the heck out of Dodge.

So I turned around and it's all captured on my camera, including the property damage, how I went in, went, oops, saw the damage, oops, I'm getting out of here.

And I started leaving.

And so

when myself and my best friend that night, another writer of some esteem, by the way, who was,

we'd gotten separated during the day and we finally reconnect back at our hotel room later that night.

And we started watching the news and we cracked open a couple of adult beverages.

And then we decided to turn on the camera to upload to YouTube a kind of a

post-mortem on what we had experienced that day.

And so I'm telling him that story about seeing the property damage inside of Pelosi's office.

And I said something to the effect of, yeah, it couldn't have happened to a more deserving biach.

And

then I was interviewed by the FBI and asked why I said that.

And I said, because it wasn't McConnell's office.

And they said, what do you mean by that?

And I said, because if it had been McConnell's office, I would have said it couldn't have happened to a more deserving bastard.

And then I followed it up.

And when we get the transcripts to my FBI interview, we'll be able to prove that I actually did this.

And I said, what part of me being a libertarian and hating both sides do you not yet understand?

Absolutely.

Okay.

So then

you said

they got to Pelosi's office.

And, you know, it couldn't happen to a more deserving.

The only thing I regret is, is is that I didn't like steal the computers because God knows what I could have found on their computers if I had done that.

When did you say that?

Immediately after that, on the same video with my best friend, with drinks in hand, joking about what we were seeing on television already, talking about someone maybe had allegedly stolen computers out of that.

So we're yucking it up going, no, I wish I had done that.

Ha ha ha.

I honestly, I have to say, I would have made the same comment afterwards if I were in your situation watching it at the time,

you know, probably not on the same day, but darn close, where I would have said, can you imagine what was on that computer?

I kind of wish we had it.

But that wouldn't mean that I wanted to steal it, you know, or that I really would steal it if I did.

I did.

Yeah.

Because you were there.

You had access.

They're trying to say that you had motive to do it, but you didn't do it.

So how is that a crime?

It's not.

I mean, it's just, again, it's language being included

in the statement of facts to drive their narrative.

If Steve had wanted to do anything at all that day, he was right there.

The door was open.

People were going in.

Everybody saw it was trouble and he left.

Everybody always asks, what was my mindset that day?

My mindset that day was to, I had my man on the street microphone and a tripod.

My mindset was, is that if there was anything specific or interesting or

groundbreaking that was going to be said from the stage at the ellipse that day, either by Trump or somebody else that was speaking, I was going to do Man on the Street interviews, capture that, take it home, upload it to YouTube, my blog channel, and you know, that it's end of conversation.

We had no idea where that day was going and how it would develop.

But as soon as I arrived on the West Terrace and I saw that it was a battle, everything changes.

Everything did.

All of a sudden, it's game on.

And when I say game on, it's time to do my job.

And so I started

nonviolently, not aggressively, not abusively

filming the events that were taking place.

And then professionally, as did every other one of those 60 journalists, professionally worked my way through and documented what I could.

And if you didn't have any journalistic

integrity of the work, why did HBO and the New York Times buy it from you?

You know, look,

I was contacted instantly by dozens of agencies wanting to represent me.

My first call that I received on the next morning was Fox News.

I had already done interviews on WUSA that night, two of them.

And that it's just a product of,

my work output would be

their interest.

Right.

So tell me about the WUSA interview because this, the FBI, according to the FBI,

they asked you, do you approve of what happened today?

And you said, I approve 100%.

That's quote.

Clip, edit.

And that's all they took out of

30 minutes worth of interviews.

What is the context that makes that

good?

The context is that I

understood the spirit of what was happening.

These people had been locked down for a year.

I don't think I even addressed the election because I wasn't even 100% on the election controversy at that point, that it was a stolen situation.

In fact, it was 22 months after the election before I ever

came to my own conclusion.

And so

it was a long discussion that I had with two different of their reporters, one actually on the lawn of the Capitol after I'd seen Ashley Babbitt.

In fact, I'm walking by this group of guys and they're all standing listening to the headquarters studio.

They're just learning that somebody's been shot inside the building.

As I'm walking past them, and they hear me, I said, oh, yeah, I've got a video of that.

And they're like,

what?

Can we see it?

Yeah.

So then they interview me for about 15 minutes with the, you know, the Capitol in the background over my shoulder.

I'm talking about, you know, there's a darkness under that dome, blah, blah, blah.

You know, I'm pontificating from my, you know, libertarian viewpoint about what was going on that day.

And then I finally, you know, and I hadn't had the opportunity to even see a restroom in about, you know, 10 hours at this point.

So I leave the Capitol grounds and go find a sandwich shop somewhere where I was able to take care of that, get a sandwich.

And then I get a call from WUSA, the lead anchor, the evening news for WUSA, the CBS affiliate in D.C., calls me and asks me if he can talk to me.

So I go set up my tripod, my camera, pull out my microphone on the street for a, you know, hit out there on the street.

And he interviews me, gets about 15 minutes worth of comments from me again.

And then when they run the story, they use less than 15 seconds of clip, clip, clip.

And when I, again, going back to my FBI interview, when they addressed that,

I said to them, sitting across the table, I said, did you see the hard edits in that?

Did you see that?

I'm just trying to find the hard edits.

Because you have said to us for, well, ever since I've known you,

you did not agree with what happened.

You know, you found the violence reprehensible.

And

I've been consistent on that since my first article.

The very first article I wrote condemns the violent.

I say there, I saw bad people doing bad things, good people doing good things, and some otherwise good people doing some stupid things that got caught up in the moment.

You can agree a hundred percent with the reason why these people were frustrated and why they were there and disagree with the behaviors of the 300 people that did stupid stuff.

And the video, the unedited video, would show that.

That's correct.

That's what you meant.

In context, I don't know if we'll ever be able to get it or not.

Well, I mean, it fits with the narrative that Stu and I were talking about earlier today, that you have always been very consistent with us that, because that's the only thing

that

throws this, and it not legally, not legally at all, but makes you less sympathetic if they, if someone is led to believe that you went in going, yeah.

break in, break the windows, storm the Capitol.

And I've never, I've never heard that from you.

I've never seen it.

We've talked about it, and you've always been where we were.

And that is, this was a horror show.

This was a dark day for our republic because of the way it was handled.

Not for the grandmothers that have been arrested for parading, but for the bad guys in there.

And the overwhelming percentage of people that went from the ellipse to the hill.

The overwhelming number of people that even went inside.

They were just tourists, basically.

That's right.

And they were.

It was cathartic for a vast majority of them after the election, after the year of 2020, which, I mean, those were dark days for our country for a lot of reasons.

And I've compared some of the behaviors to, you know, how people react after their team

wins the championship.

People lose their mind.

They're foolish.

It's a mob mentality.

But the overwhelming number of people that I've met in this process, that I've represented, were not engaged in the bad behavior that we all look at and we abhor.

And it certainly wasn't Steve.

Can I ask why have, I mean, because you have done so much to expose the lies.

That's why this happened.

Oh, I know that.

But you expose the lies of the Capitol Police, the two in particular, that were used to put people away.

My trials.

Your trials.

Yeah.

You weren't afforded that video.

How come these guys have not been

released or at least called a mistrial and start again?

I don't have answers to that.

We fought battles with our judge over delay.

Give us till the end of the J6 committee.

Let them go into their sunset and then let us get all the video.

Let us see everything.

And our judge continually said, no, we don't need a continuance.

The public interest demands that we have this now.

Our clients were all willing to waive speedy trial.

They were willing to stay in jail, waiting to get the stuff that Steve's now seen that proves two of them committed perseverance.

Can this be resubmitted to another court to say

you weren't allowed to show the evidence?

Our trial is on appeal right now.

It is.

I mean, and I know the attorney that's handling that appeal, she's very, very knowledgeable and very good.

And I haven't spoken with her since Steve's situation started.

I can only presume that those are avenues that she's going to be going down.

Absolutely.

So, Steve, I want you to know that

I have asked you the toughest questions I could ask because I want to lance the boil.

I want to know the truth, and so does the audience.

I know why this is being done to you because you have been so effective.

There's only two reporters, the one at Revolver and you, really, that have been on this from the beginning and have made such a huge difference in these trials.

And that is reflected by the support from

the Speaker of the House on Friday, releasing 5,000 hours and all of the video of you in the Capitol so people can see you weren't parading, you weren't chanting, you weren't being disruptive, you were being a journalist.

I support you and the blaze is behind you, and I hope you know that.

Thank you.

And I want to say thank you as well to those congressmen who have been supporting me all the way up to the speaker.

I will say this, though, is that one of the reasons why we've not been able to make this situation happen faster for those defendants is that we need some documents.

I don't need to tell you what they are right now.

Those congressmen know what we need.

The Capitol Police are not subjected to FOIA requests, so we can't go that route.

These are not classified documents, but one of those committees has access, And I

am just going to encourage right here on the air, because they're listening, is please get me those documents and we can spring these guys that have been unfairly convicted and get them home.

Their cracks are happening.

You're starting to see it.

Look at the free judge unbunk panel that came down regarding the fact that the district courts in D.C.

were improperly enhancing 11 levels.

Yeah.

It is.

It's all starting to come apart.

Thank you guys.

I appreciate it.

Steve Baker and James Lee Bright.

This is something you have to pay attention to.

There's probably a thousand more arrests coming before the election.

And

this this is all falling apart.

The whole story is falling apart on them.

So

we'll see what happens.

You know, I wanted to ask Steve all of the toughest questions.

None of those were legal

infractions

of the law, any of his comments.

I just wish he hadn't have said them, but he did.

They're public perception

questions.

They're court of public opinion questions.

Let's get off our high horse here, media.

I mean, just a couple of weeks ago, you had some journalists talk about you wish Trump was in a convertible because he would be easy to shoot like Kennedy.

Shockingly, too, all the journalists out there never really bothered to investigate who that was.

Yeah, isn't that weird?

Isn't that weird?

I bet they were credentialed, too.

Okay, really excited to have somebody who I hope to have on from time to time.

She's in our building now and with a new network.

Her name is Karina Yapur, and she is the executive producer and host of

Vose News, right?

Correct, yes.

I am not, I barely can speak English.

And Vose means vote, vote right or no voice voice that's right voice yes um

so this is a new spanish language television network the problem that we all know is uh telemundo is i think there's a univision is nbc one of them is nbc

hispanics are getting

They have no choice but to be indoctrinated when they're watching Spanish television.

And

Karina is the news anchor on something that begins tonight.

So tell us about it.

Yes, so excited.

And thank you for having me here.

It's an honor to be here with you guys.

And you said it perfectly.

Unfortunately, for decades, the Hispanic community has been getting their news for these two major networks, Telemundo owned by NBC and Univision.

And unfortunately, in the recent years, these two networks have gone, have walked away of representing the Hispanic values.

And some people

think or maybe wondering, why do we see the same headlines all over the place?

I have worked for both.

I worked almost seven and a half years for Telemundo and then

almost eight years for Univision as well.

So I know this firsthand.

And the thing is that, for example, Univision, when they don't cover the news directly, they they work with the with a platform called CNN newsers which means that they get all the videos press releases yeah that they don't cover directly from CNN so that's why you see the same headlines that and the same rhetoric that CNN uses and that's a problem and to me honestly as a Christian woman as an immigrant, as a Hispanic woman,

it was hard for me to see that.

And And I always wanted to be a light in the darkness for my community.

And I tried to make the difference.

And that's why we are launching Vos News tonight, because we really need to provide the Hispanic community a non-biased perspective, conservative perspective of the news, so they can really understand what's going on and they can really make better decisions for their lives and for their their families.

You know, Soros, George Soros just bought

a radio group that has some of the biggest Spanish-speaking nations,

Spanish-speaking stations in the nation.

You're getting the George Soros look at things if that firewall isn't dirt strong.

That's not going to help.

The left has made a move for the Hispanic viewpoint.

Is this the first time anybody's made a real conservative effort, a real effort?

It is.

And you know what?

We're going to be the only nationwide newscast in Spanish with a conservative perspective.

And, you know, that's unbelievable because

in

In the English-speaking world, there are several options and you guys are here to fill up those gaps, you know, providing non-biased information for your listeners and your audience.

But the Hispanics didn't have that.

And we have to recognize that some of them work one or two jobs or even three to be able to provide for their families.

They don't have the time to do their own research.

And a lot of times they watch these TV networks because they like novellas, like the series, Hispanic series, because they feel attached to their culture and all of that.

And they just listen to the rhetoric that they use in the news.

And I remember one example on the last presidential election when they were saying the headline was that Republicans were pushing against voting rights for minorities.

And I remember myself reading this press release that our producers provide us.

And I was, I mean, reading along and I couldn't find anything that was trying to, you know, to restrict voting rights.

I mean, and I have to tell you, it is even harder to vote in Mexico.

In Mexico, you only got one day to vote.

There's no early voting, nothing like that.

And there's only one kind of ID, the voter ID that you need to use to be able to vote.

So when I was reading this, I was like, what are they talking about?

You know, here we have a primary election, we have anticipated election, we have several options of IDs that we can present.

So all of that, I mean, to me, looked pretty reasonable.

And I couldn't find something that was really the headline that they were presenting.

But again, it was taken from CNN.

And unfortunately, it's what Hispanics were receiving.

And nobody want to be unliked or not wanted or the rights to be taken away.

So

Hispanics are very pro-family, very pro-God.

Absolutely.

I mean, they are the, you know, in the old days, you know, when my.

My wife's family came over from Italy, it was in New York and it was the full talk with your hands Italians and, you know, there were some bad guys, but there were a lot of just great families that that culture has just melted into ours.

But they restored us.

Many of these immigrants always restore us because

you've been someplace else and you know what it's like elsewhere.

Exactly, exactly, exactly, Glenn.

And I have to tell you, I mean, we love God.

We love our family.

Those are the two main cores of the Latino culture and the Hispanic values.

There's nothing more important than those two things for us.

And you know what?

There are more than 36.2 million Hispanics eligible to vote this year.

And Hispanics are, you know, are having families.

We like big families.

So that's why it's very important that they really understand what's going on in politics and they can make informed decisions.

So

how are you going to, where do people find you?

How are you going to

let everybody know in the Hispanic community?

Absolutely.

So we're launching Vos News, which means voice, tonight at 7 p.m.

Eastern Time, 6 p.m.

Central through Daystar Espanol.

We are very, very blessed that we are partnering with Daystar because of course this is a huge Christian network.

And I have to tell you, they launched the Espanol Spanish channel a year ago.

And they are reaching 14 million Hispanic households in the United States.

And they even reach a total of 90 million households, counting the US, Mexico, and Latin America.

So I think that's important.

And another

very important topic is the illegal immigration, for example.

So we want to really inform for people who will be watching in South America, Central America, we want to tell them the truth because unfortunately they are being told that they can get here illegally, get everything from free for free and all of that.

And that's not the reality.

We want, I mean, people needs to know.

We have correspondents interviewing them, walking with them and interviewing them.

And there's people organizing these caravans

of illegal immigration.

I mean, that doesn't happen all of the sudden.

So we need to provide facts.

And it's it's important for them to know and realize that that's not the truth, that they need to stay there, that they need to follow a legal process, because honestly, illegal immigration is impacting Hispanics as much as it's impacting anybody else.

So

I've done this for a very long time and I have seen

my share of death threats and everything that goes along with it.

You

being Hispanic, speaking Spanish, having it going through South America, Central America, Mexico,

and here in America,

you're messing with some very powerful people.

Absolutely.

You're aware of that.

And how are you going to deal with that?

Well, I am.

And I have to tell you that the Lord is my strength.

And I am so grateful because this is a calling.

I'm so grateful.

Orlando Salazar, he is our CEO.

He's in the cattle business.

He doesn't, I mean, he doesn't have any need of getting involved in media, but he got a call from the Lord and he was obedient.

And that's how I met him.

And to me, it was a prayer answer.

Because as I told you, I wanted to be a light in the darkness that we're living in this world, not only here in the United States, but in the world.

I know the blessing of being able to be in this country.

I have to tell you, I love the United States of America.

I was born in Mexico and it took me 19 years.

I just became a US citizen after 19 years of following different legal processes.

My children were born here and I just feel I can see the difference,

in the safety.

Of course, no country is perfect, but America to me is the best country in the world.

And I feel so bad that people here don't realize that because they haven't experienced what we have experienced in Mexico and other countries.

I know.

So tell me how Hispanics here in America that have come here the right way, how do they view the border situation?

Well, they don't like that because, of course, that is making their legal processes taking longer.

There's, you know, Hispanics that have came here

following a legal process, and probably they are requesting now their parents to live with them or you know in the legal way and they have to pay they have to wait and unfortunately or people that real have

you know an asylum a real threat yeah real threat and now they are being left behind because all this illegal immigration and people claiming asylum when they don't really have a case i would think that one of the things that you would come for because this is why business came to america is we had laws and they were equally applied.

And we've become this lawless nation on so many fronts.

And I would imagine people who have lived this

before can see this and go, what are you doing?

Absolutely.

So Glenn, for example, a lot of people left their countries because of the violence.

So now seeing that there's

you know, violent people crossing the border, doing what we saw they're doing in New York, York for example beating police officers and then walking away no one no one wants that not even the Hispanics we don't want the bad people we want the good people to be here regardless of their ethnicity or race and you know we

Most Hispanics are very, very hard workers,

hard workers, family-oriented.

We have helped building this country as well.

We contribute.

I mean, the majority of us.

So we don't want this country to be messed up because this is a country that it's been a hope for us and for the rest of the world.

And we want to preserve that.

So, what time do you, it's 7 o'clock Eastern?

7 o'clock Eastern time on Daystar Espanol, Daystar Spanish nationwide and 6 p.m.

10 seconds, station ID.

I got to tell you, it is really encouraging.

And these guys are doing it right.

I mean, I walked in.

Have you been on stage three

lately?

So they've been here now for...

What, about a year?

They've been in the building.

They've been building this.

Yes.

And most people don't know, but Orlando came in to me over a year ago and he said,

we want to do what you're doing, except in Spanish language.

And I said,

where are you going to be?

And we didn't have space at the time.

And so they moved right across the brickyard here in one of the others.

And they were working from there.

And now

they've been working really hard.

She's a big deal on television in the Hispanic,

in Hispanic television.

So they moved into Studio 3, which is down the hall from 19.

And

I walked in the other day and I'm like,

what has happened?

I mean, it is beautiful, beautiful.

And they have dumped money into technology

to make all of this work.

It's a really needed effort.

Oh, my gosh.

It has taken us.

Look at, we weren't in any of these areas.

10, 11 years ago.

None.

You didn't have networks that were conservative.

You didn't have news people that were conservative.

You didn't have anything except the cable news companies.

And look at it now.

And we only have had the two very, very liberal Hispanic news programs coming from NBC, which is, you know, that's good.

And

now we have this.

I mean, we're really making progress.

Important and important timing, right?

She mentioned, what, 36 million Hispanic people eligible to vote this cycle?

And tonight, they'll be in 44 million homes.

And you've seen, especially Donald Trump, make real inroads with the population that you hadn't seen in several election cycles previous.

Can you imagine if just the radio news and television news on Hispanic television radio reflected even just Fox, even Fox, which is not really that good anymore.

But even if it was just that,

can you imagine the difference in the voting?

They are trapped.

If they don't speak English, all they have is the left.

That's pretty crazy.

Imagine how out of touch we would be.

Even if you do speak Spanish, I would

probably believe that

the American English language programming is not focused on the same cultural concerns and issues that are important to many members of that community.

So to have someone who is talking to them in their language, but also about their issues.

Well,

imagine just because it's NBC doing, what is it, Univision or the other one?

I think it's Univision.

Imagine what NBC News

is saying about what's happening in our schools alone.

Oh, I got it.

How that is such a culture clash.

Yeah, I mean, if they're in English, if they're saying the things that they're saying, can you imagine what they're saying in Spanish, which is probably not being monitored by the

typical conservative media that might call them out?

They probably say whatever they want, basically.

So,

I'm doomed if we ever take on another language.

Doomed.

Starts tonight.

Glenn Beck.

Okay.

There are so many smart people.

This is this, honestly, this is like, you know, why are we looking at this election and looking at candidates?

Because we've lowered our standards.

And it began when I got a job.

Really, it did.

Remember when you were a kid and you hit the ground running in the morning and you didn't stop till evening and then you slept like a log all night and then you got up the next morning, did it all over again?

Whatever happened to that?

I don't have trouble sleeping all the time, but when I do, it sucks.

I don't remember as a kid lying there in bed and just going,

because we were out all day it's no fun there is a solution to this that's all natural it's called relief factor sleep just like the regular relief factor that you take for pain relief factor sleep is 100 drug-free so you get a good night's sleep that you need without feeling like you got hit by a truck the next morning promote healthy sleep by reducing anxiety and distress and improving mood and promoting relaxation it works i know from experience 1995, unleashed the power of great sleep, 800, the number four relief.

800 for relief.

There are several things I want to hit quickly here that we haven't had a chance to hit.

Bitcoin is now at 66,000.

There is something going on there.

We have.

Look, can we just play cut five quickly?

It's only 13 seconds.

This is our ATF director talking about the market.

Talking about bumpstock.

Is there like a physical piece?

But that's a great question, right?

Of course, right?

How can you tell, right?

These two things are the same.

They look right.

They operate the same.

Both of them can shoot right through this 75-ground clip.

It's a magazine.

And bump stock is not the same as what I mean.

It's incredible.

These guys know nothing about it.

Nothing.

It is honestly like having the Department of Transportation head say, you know, the trains and we've got all of these, those two metal thingies that run side by side.

They're all over the country.

You mean the rails?

I mean, it's that simple.

These people should not be in charge.

And the worst part about it is you have a reporter that knows nothing about this, too, that can't tell that these people know nothing about what they're talking about.

I mean, it's fascinating to watch in action.

You know, I've been working as the head of the nuclear regulatory administration, and those things, you know,

they can go boom pretty big.

Really?

I don't.

Really?

Now, are the walls really held together by peanut butter?

That's surprising to me.

Okay, so next thing, and I'm going to get to this tomorrow.

Last week, the President of France made an insane statement actually suggesting that NATO troops could deploy and engage in Ukraine.

Russia responded with, don't be Napoleon.

But there's something else that happened over the weekend that you need to understand.

And it's another mile marker on the road to war.

And I'll give that to you tomorrow with the full explanation of what it means.

Now,

we also want to go

on

the vote.

The big news today

is that

the Supreme Court said, no, Colorado, you can't do that.

The states can't take a national candidate off the ballots because of the 14th Amendment, because the state has nothing.

The 14th Amendment is something that the Congress would have to do.

Yeah, that's basically what they're saying.

And

it's fascinating on the legal front.

It's a little more complicated than the happy headlines, which I am happy about.

Legitimately,

a 9-0 unanimous ruling, including Sodomayor, which

I am shocked.

Soda Mayor is essentially AOC.

She's like the clown of the court.

She really has

ridiculous.

And she is trying to make herself out into this sort of Ruth Bader-Ginsburg figure.

Now, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a hardcore liberal, but a serious liberal at some point, at some level, where I don't believe Sotomayor is, but this was so obvious that they could not do this, that even Sotomayor was

on board for this, and also Kagan and Katanji Brown Jackson.

So you get all three liberals.

Now, they do have a qualified yes on this, and they say, basically, we agree that Colorado couldn't do that.

That's the issue in front of the court.

We believe the majority is going too far, basically saying the only way this can be implemented is by legislation of Congress.

They kind of leave it open as to what federal powers could be utilized there, but it is kind of

it's interesting to note that they did write a dissent here and say, hey, wait a minute, we're not going as far as the majority is.

This does,

if you want to go down, can we go down the full House of Cards

situation here for just a second, which is kind of

hilarious in a way.

But they're basically saying Congress would have to pass a law saying, you know, that he engaged in insurrection and therefore therefore should be thrown off the ballots.

And we can't do that right now because the House belongs to the Republicans.

The Republicans.

Now, remember, the Republicans have a very small majority here.

A couple of House seats somehow change,

God forbid, and this situation changes.

So that's one thing to think about.

Another thing to think about, and again, we're going on the full House of Cards situation here, and this is not going to happen.

I'm just telling you, it's not going to happen.

But

I would rule anything out.

You know,

a dog-faced alien could come down and take over the White House on January 7th, and I would be like, well, didn't see it coming, but

yeah, okay.

You know, I guess

you could say the whole House of Cards thing had a lot of, the show had a lot of crazy turns.

I mean, he made his wife.

He made it all look tame

at this point.

He made his wife president.

Yeah.

Spoiler alert.

Also, Kevin Spacey was married to her.

Also, spoiler alert wouldn't have happened in real life.

There's been developments in that case that may

make you understand that.

But going beyond the House of Cards thing, in theory, let's just say Donald Trump wins the presidential election.

And the Democrats hold the Senate and turn over the House.

That new Congress takes seat on January 3rd.

You'll note a couple days before January 6th.

So you have a new, in theory, Democratic Congress, Democratic president that could theoretically

come up with it.

Now,

all they have to do is vote and say he was

an insurrectionist, an agent of insurrection, and therefore cannot be president of the United States.

Now, there's reason to believe in the ruling that the Supreme Court would not allow this to happen, but still, it's theoretically possible if they could vote and say, yes, he's an insurrectionist, that we're going to pull him off the ballot, and then

you'd have a couple of days to get this over.

Now, the way I think I would understand that is whoever Trump choses his VP

essentially would take over.

So it wouldn't be like they'd be putting Biden in for longer or some Democrat would be named.

But I mean, look,

if the American people elected Donald Trump and they just pulled him off, they're like, no, you got to go with your VP now, there would be a little bit of uproar over that.

Again,

not going to happen, but still, it is a fascinating.

What makes you say that with such certainty?

I mean, I don't think it's going to happen either.

i don't think it's going to happen but you say it with such certainty well what makes you say it was such you know what's crazy is we used to say

you know these things aren't going to happen and we would we'd fairly you know we'd believe it because crazy things haven't happened you can't use that same kind of conviction anymore i say it the same way i said to start this show that donald trump was not going to lose in court today i knew he wasn't going to lose in court today there was no way he was going to lose in court today.

However, there was definitely a way he could have lost in court today and we all would have been screwed.

Like, that is like,

in reality, I can't imagine anything like this happening, but just to give you the outlying possibility of whether you should get all your, you know, preparation supplies and head to the mountains right now.

Like, if that were to happen, God only knows.

If that would have happened today, I would have gotten all my stuff and head to the mountains right now.

You would have, seriously.

You would have been at the ranch.

I would have.

Can we address one other big part of this, too?

Yeah.

Which is separate from all the legal back and forth, which we are going to, I'm sure, cover over the next couple of days in more depth, but

can we just stop and pause for a second and focus on how seriously the media as a whole took this ridiculous ruling from Colorado and the idiotic Lawrence tribe-esque experts who told us it was the right thing?

They said over and over again, oh, actually, actually,

this can happen.

And it's absolutely right.

And we saw expert after expert trot it out on television to tell us, no, really, this is the right way to go.

This is really what is going to happen.

And the Supreme Court very well might overturn this.

And I know.

And I may say, convinced people who, if they would just use their common sense, when it first came out, you'd say, they can't do that.

They can't do that.

They can't do that.

We know that.

Because he's not been charged with insurrection or anything else.

He can't do that.

These people came on television and convinced half the country that that was reasonable

and really not just possible, but could be likely.

And the only thing that would stop it is this right-wing Supreme Court that, of course, will go with the, you know, the 9-0.

And then it was, but then it was 9-0, and you got even Sodomayor on board for it.

So an embarrassing failure for the media, yet again, it is important to note these things, even though I know we sound like a broken record on it, but they convince half the people in the country country that, like, oh, well, yeah, this is obviously the right thing.

Nobody believed it was the right thing.

There was never any hope for it legally in the courts.

It was always a dead end.

It was a Hail Mary of Hail Marys of Hail Marys.

And they decided to try it because they're throwing every piece of spaghetti against the wall to see if it will stick.

But they never had a chance.

This was always absurd.

The people who put it through in the California Supreme Court should be ashamed of themselves.

They knew it wasn't real.

They knew it wasn't true, and they did it anyway.

Well, I will tell tell you,

we're sitting knee-high in spaghetti right now because, and that's going to continue, and it's going to get faster and faster and worse and worse.

They are just trying anything and everything to win.

Ethics, the ends justify the means.

So look how we may, in the end, drown in a pile of spaghetti

because

this is their approach.

And I'm telling you, the lawfare that is coming coming our way is going to be insane.

All right, more in a minute.

We have to also talk about the

election with DC and the Super Tuesday tomorrow coming up in just a second.

So you're getting ready to sell your house.

That means you're going to need pictures, lots and lots of pictures.

And, you know, I understand Cousin Eddie is really the cheapest photographer around.

Well, it looks like a new pollout shows that 10% of 2020 Biden voters now back Trump.

Yeah, another bad sign for the president.

So we have that going for us.

And tomorrow is Super Tuesday.

Now,

Saturday at the District of Columbia, Trump lost to Nikki Haley, which, I mean, there was 2,000 Republicans that voted.

2,000 in the District of Columbia that voted,

which is, and they probably were all Tony Podesta's relatives, just pretending to be Republicans.

But that's not the place you want to win.

You know what I mean?

I mean, you take it as a win, but it's not the, you don't want to hold that one up and go, hey, I won the District of Columbia.

It's a little too on the nose, right?

The complaints about Haley being she's this, you know, some D.C.

insider these days.

Yeah.

And then she went to D.C.

primary.

Let me tell you something.

And everybody that works at McDonnell Douglas loves me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But again, people are like, well, why is she staying in?

This doesn't make any sense.

Well, why would she drop out right now?

I mean, first of all, Super Tuesday's tomorrow.

So she has a, you know, a bunch of states that she could package some delegates.

Can we look through those states?

Quickly, this is the Super Tuesday.

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas.

I think she's here today, by the way.

I think she's in Fort Worth today.

She didn't stop by here.

Texas.

No, she did not.

Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and because I'm patriotic, my favorite Samoa.

American Samoa.

Oh, I love that one.

And I love their cookies.

Anyway, go ahead.

So tell me how they are shaping up.

Which ones could go to her?

I don't think any.

I don't think she has a chance of winning any of them, frankly.

She may, I mean, it's not impossible, but it doesn't make any difference, obviously.

He can wrap this thing up by next week, I think, technically, as far as the delegates go.

Obviously, the challenge for him is not whether

he wins this primary in a normal sense.

It's more of a legal question and all these other things.

But

it's kind of interesting to look at this and say, all right, well, you know, what's the point for Nikki Haley, right?

Why would she stay in?

And I keep asking people who say that to me, why would she go?

Why would she leave?

You know, she's going to go through this.

She's going to lose a bunch of these.

The embarrassment is already over.

She's already lost, right?

Yeah.

The question now is, what is she running for?

What is her goal here?

President of Raytheon.

Right.

Right.

Like, the goal is not to be the Republican nominee or serve in the Trump administration again.

Her goal is, you know, is she

a board member of Raytheon?

Is she a professor somewhere?

Is she

a

professor where?

I mean, anyone that wants to have a respectable conservative, not like these Trump people, she's now looking for, I think, a separate path here.

And like, it's a sensible decision for her.

I mean, you know, Paul Ryan, who every conservative, you know, every MAGA person like does not like at all, is on the board of Fox, right?

Like, there is a path forward for you if you happen to be a person who can appeal to that, well, sensible right-wing view, quote unquote.

So I think that's her path forward.

She's making her play to be sort of the leader of that wing, which is, again, a much smaller wing, as these vote shares keep telling us, but also a powerful one and has, you know, there's plenty of, there's a bright future for someone

who takes that type of stand and is shown as the alternative to Mitch McConnell is getting

old and

he's in his 80s.

I know.

He's getting old, and you're going to need somebody to play the Mitch McConnell role.

I don't think.

You think she's going to run for...

I don't even know.

No, I just think you need a mascot for that role.

Somebody that's like, hey, the old guard is still standing here.

Perhaps.

I don't think it's just, you know, look, it's not just one person.

It's not, I know blowouts are blowouts, right?

And elections show 70, 30 blowouts, and you say, wow, 40-point loss.

That side of the party is dead.

It's still a third of the party.

No, I know.

Or a fifth of the party.

And a fifth of one of the two major parties in this country is still a powerful role.

And it can't just be completely thrown to the side.

I would just like, I mean, it would be great if a fifth of the party were

at the side.

Right.

They're at the front.

I mean, I think that's changing, though.

It is.

It is.

Slowly.

It is changing.

It is a totally different.

It is a totally different party.

And like, you're seeing this

in the RNC leadership, which, again, is going to be whoever basically Trump wants.

I mean, Trump, I don't know.

Trump gets what he wants in this party.

He does.

I mean, he's had times where he's liked Mitch McConnell.

He's had times where he liked Ronna McDaniel.

And when he doesn't like them anymore, they leave.

That's what happens.

All right, Super Tuesday coverage and so much more on tomorrow's broadcast.

We're going to tell you a few things about ESG.

I told you it would come back.

BlackRock has come back and said, oh, yeah, we're transitioning

tomorrow.
