Dems 'Delay' Iowa Results | Guests: Sen. Ted Cruz & Nigel Farage | 2/4/20

What a surprise.

We have quite a show lined up for you because what a day it is.

First, let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor here for the Blaze.

It is Rough Greens.

This is something, do we happen to have the video of me feeding my dog the other day?

Uno has always hated to eat.

Literally, we've had to hand feed this darn dog since he was three years old.

And you have to stand there, and if you move, he stops eating.

We have to now, I think, put him on a diet because he's been eating so much.

I started putting in rough greens.

Now, this is not a dog food.

This is a supplement, and it is

really amazing.

it's vita smart rough greens uh it has all of the all of the live stuff that you know if you're feeding your dog kibbles they bake out they need all of those things they for some reason or another i think you know it smells like crap to me but i'm not eating it he loves it uh and it really makes your dog healthy so try it out rough greens.com slash back rough greens.com

slash back rough greens

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

What an appropriate response to Rush Limbaugh's horrible announcement yesterday.

To salute him, I think the Democrats just kicked off Operation Chaos on themselves in Iowa.

We're going to talk about Rush.

We're going to talk about Iowa.

We're going to talk about the state of the union and impeachment.

There's a little going on in America right now, and we're joined by Ted Cruz live from Washington in one minute.

This is the Glimbeck program.

All right, there's really a couple of kinds of real estate agents out there, the kind who treat it almost like a hobby, you know, it's the, you know, the side thing or, yeah, well, I'm also a hairdresser, or I love this one.

My cousin just got into real estate.

I mean, you should list your house with it.

No, not going to list.

I want somebody who's busting their butt because they really care and they're really good at it and they have the track record.

So what kind?

Do you want your nephew to be selling your house or do you want somebody who is selling your house who has the best record?

The best record kind of real estate agent you'll find at realestateagentsitrust.com.

It's a free service.

It really, we're making a difference in the way America buys and sells houses because our agents are people that care, have the track record.

They're the best in your area.

In fact, if we don't have somebody who we have thoroughly checked out in your area, we won't recommend somebody.

If you're buying or selling a house, make sure they're the ones that are going to work the hardest to give you the best bang for your buck.

It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

We welcome to the program

Senator Ted Cruz.

How are you, Senator?

Glenn, I'm doing fantastic.

How are you doing?

I was watching, I was watching last night, and I remembered being at the caucus for you in Iowa, and what a bizarre system that is.

Last night,

I think the Democrats showed us that, oh, they're on top of the securing the election results.

Holy cow.

It is an absolute mess.

It is chaos.

And, you know, I got to say, I really feel

for all of the thousands of volunteers.

You know, you've got candidates who've spent a year or more crisscrossing the state.

And as you know, you've got volunteers.

We had people come from Texas, from all over the country in 2016, basically move to Iowa, stay in dormitories, and go out in blizzards, knocking on doors, making phone calls.

They poured their hearts into it.

And it's not too much to have, at the end of the night, an election result.

No, I mean, you know, that's

a nice benefit.

I cannot imagine the frustration, the anger they're feeling.

So, Ted, what is your, I mean, let me give you some of the

headlines.

Republicans gloat over Iowa caucus meltdown.

You're actually, this is from CBS News.

You're mentioned there.

Are you gloating?

A little bit.

I don't think there's anything.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Okay, so it's interesting they say that.

I've said a total of one thing today on that, which is I sent a tweet as I was driving in this morning, and my tweet pointed out that Dems today can't even stand at a gymnasium and count who's standing under which sign.

These are the people they want to put in charge of our health care and everything else in our lives.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

Like these guys, it ain't that complicated.

You know, student council, okay, everyone for Joey, everyone for Susie, raise your hand, we're done.

These guys can't do that, but don't worry, we'll keep you alive, we'll keep your mom alive, we'll decide everything in your life.

Yeah, no, we're smarter than you.

The age of the socialists put these geniuses in charge of everything that matters to you.

So, the other Washington Post said: conservatives spread false claims on Twitter about electoral fraud as Iowans prepare to caucus.

You know, at this point, we don't have any evidence of fraud.

And I had an old boss of mine who used to say, never explain anything with malice that could be explained with incompetence.

Yes.

I think these guys just screwed up.

It's actually one of the reasons you and I are both really skeptical of big government.

Right.

Because it screws everything up.

So let's have it do what it needs to do.

But other than than that, leave everything to the people.

And it's, you know, I'm sure there were a bunch of smart people who had a great plan and they had an app.

I think it's called Shadow.

So

Shadow, if that doesn't give you confidence.

So now apparently these are the Peter Pan Democrats because they can't find their shadow.

All right.

Okay, so let me go into just

because I think it's incompetence.

I don't think there's anything going on.

But if, on the other hand, it may be the secretive

Joe Biden Illuminati

working to snuff out out the Bernie revolution.

That's entirely possible, too.

Yeah, right.

And if I were blue hair and dreadlocks and things pierced all over my face, I would believe that.

I would believe that, too.

Especially after the

paper, the leading paper, they always come out in Iowa, Des Moines Register, and they come out and they say, you know, right the day before,

here are the poll numbers.

Well, we now know that the poll numbers that were spiked

were this,

and this has now been confirmed.

Bernie Sanders, 22, Elizabeth Warren, 18,

Pete Budajudge at 16, Joe Biden at 13.

Wow.

So

you put that together with what happened last time where they really were, you know, torching, doing everything they could, it seemed, to take down Bernie Sanders.

You're a Bernie Sanders fan.

You're even an Elizabeth Warren fan.

This does nothing to help you believe in the party.

Well, look, there's no doubt that the Democratic Party machinery is terrified of Bernie, and they're terrified of Warren.

And the problem is

the base of their party is enthralled with crazy leftist ideas.

The base of their party is angry.

They've got pitchforks.

They've got torches in the street.

And so we saw four years ago the Democratic Party did everything they could to stop Bernie then.

And part of it is, look,

Democrats are statists.

They're authoritarians.

They believe in centralized power.

So they have things like superdelegates.

The Republican side, we don't have superdelegates.

The Democrats have like had a big chunk of their vote to decide who their presidential nominee is, are lifelong career politicians who are called superdelegates who get to decide.

And they did that after Reagan won.

They saw that the Reagan revolution changed the Republican Party, and they said, we don't want that to happen to us.

Inevitably,

statist and authoritarians don't trust the people.

So the rhetoric is always the people.

Right.

We care about the people, so put me in charge of the people.

That's their message.

You know, someone actually believes in the people said, all right, how about let's leave the people in charge of themselves and get government.

You know, Jefferson referred to the Constitution as chains to bind the mischief of government.

The modern Democratic Party, they don't believe there's any mischief to be bound.

Right.

And it all comes down to they have incredible faith in their own ability.

They're smarter than you are.

They know better than you do.

And it's a combination of elitism and condescension and willingness to employ brute force.

If you don't disagree with them, they will use the coercive power of the state to make you agree with them.

Right.

So

let's switch gears here.

First of all,

any indication on when they're going to have a

clue.

They keep saying last night they were like, no, we're just verifying.

We're just verifying.

It doesn't take you this long to verify.

This is worse than Florida.

I have no idea.

So, you know, I will say, as you know, I've sort of entered your world a little bit in the last couple of weeks because we've launched a podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.

It went from zero, non-existent.

Yeah, number one.

It skyrocketed to number one in the country.

We were going to film a podcast last night.

We were sitting there to film a podcast.

Michael Knowles, who I think is coming in shortly afterwards, so Michael and I were there in the studio, and the whole plan is when the Iowa results come in, we'll go on and talk about it.

So we're sitting there

and we're sitting there and we're sitting there.

I think we sat there three hours and we finally said, well, I don't think we're getting results.

Now, the nice thing about a podcast, you don't have a hard time.

It's not like I go on at nine and it's like, all right, if we don't have Iowa results, I'll tell you what, let's wait and do it tomorrow.

Let's actually know what the results are.

I went to bed figuring I'd know when I woke up.

Me too.

Who the heck knows?

Yeah.

All right.

Let's switch to impeachment.

First of all,

were you mocking that?

Please say yes.

Were you mocking Nancy Pelosi's hand clap

there on the Senate floor?

Of course.

Okay, good.

I just, all right.

Although I did have folks who were wondering if I was paying up on losing a bet for the Nationals, Astros, because the Nationals did the whole baby shark thing.

So it could have been that.

Could have been that.

Could have been that.

So what happened, I was talking to Mitch McConnell, and we were talking to a couple of other senators who were there, and we were talking about state of the union.

And it wasn't clear when the vote and impeachment was going to be, and if it ended up being after the state of the union, which it is, it's going to be tomorrow.

There was some discussion about the possibility that Trump might cancel the event, cancel the State of the Union, say, I'll wait until after you vote on that.

And that was being discussed a little bit.

And we were saying, well, what if Pelosi won't invite him back?

What if she says, okay, you canceled it.

You don't get a State of the Union.

So we were talking about, well, we'll just invite him to the Senate.

We can do the State of the Union in the Senate.

And then I was looking around because the Senate floor is pretty small.

And so I said, well, where would we put the House members?

I guess we could put them up in the gallery.

And Mitch said, yeah, we could stick Nancy back behind the TV cameras.

That'd drive her crazy.

And that's the point where I said, no, no, Mitch, you got to give her some respect.

You know, she did invent a little clap.

And so we were laughing at that, but that was the context of the conversation.

So

this is the worst political strategy on her part I've ever seen.

The Democrats

does does does this taint trump at all free trump from this are they going to continue to do this you know in his second term what what do you what what are the results of the what what what is the meaning of all of this so look i agree with you it was a a serious blunder um

i think pelosi knows that she didn't want to go down the road of impeachment less than a year ago both pelosi and jerry nadler both said you can't have a partisan impeachment it tears the country apart it divides us I think they didn't want to do this.

The reality they're facing is their base is angry.

The hard left base, they're motivated by rage.

Hatred of Donald Trump is their all-consuming vision and passion.

And I think the Democrats had no choice.

Pelosi felt she was basically a hostage of her angry base.

So they went down this road.

I got to say where we are politically, I think the chances of Donald Trump being reelected have risen dramatically.

Oh, I think so, too.

And it's very much the same as,

look, when Republicans impeached Bill Clinton, that was a mistake.

Republicans overreached.

And that got Bill Clinton reelected.

It was an enormous political benefit to Bill Clinton for the Republicans to overreach and try to impeach him.

The American people said, enough already.

Focus on what matters to us.

Focus on jobs.

Focus on

our future, our family.

I think that contrast is playing out beautifully.

And

so my advice to the president for tonight for State of the Union is the same thing, is be positive and optimistic and land future.

And just don't even talk about the impeachment.

Just look forward.

Here's what we've accomplished and here's where we're going.

I don't know if the president, first year Donald Trump, could have done that, but he's changed.

He has become disciplined.

And

there's a lot of worry from Republicans that I've heard that are saying, dear God, please don't say anything.

But I think he's so close to the finish line and he knows the gravity of it.

I hope so.

I've given him that advice directly.

I know a lot of people have.

You know, I will say, last week during impeachment, it was interesting.

I was at the White House twice last week with the president.

The first time was for the announcement of his effort to achieve peace in the Middle East.

And it was an announcement with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It was a fabulous event.

The next day, I was back there because he was signing the USMCA, the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade trade agreement.

And the contrast of those two were really striking, where he's working on substance, he's working on policies that make a difference in the economy, make a difference in jobs for farmers, for ranchers, for manufacturers.

He's working on issues that matter, like world peace.

And the Democrats,

they're just a mob wanting to attack the president.

I think that contrast, frankly, Bill Clinton drew that same contrast.

He did the same.

He focused on...

Exactly right.

Remember moveon.org?

Yep.

Rose up during that, and the whole message of moveon.org was move on.

I know.

And ironically, moveon.org is actively supporting impeachment now and is raising money for it.

It is kind of like, did you?

Do you ever remember the name?

Remember where you came from?

Maybe start.

Start a different group.

Like, if you're going to do that.

Stayhere.com.

Stay right here.

DwellonThis.com.

All right.

Hang on just a second.

We're with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz in Washington, Washington, D.C.

at the Blaze Studios.

Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

It is Relief Factor.

Sandra was really having a hard time sleeping with pain.

Throughout the night, she would wake up in pain, and the problem was the inflammation in her joints, the aching feeling that you get through your body when you have the flu, God forbid.

She was having this all the time.

There was night after night.

There was no hope for change.

She was skeptical when she heard me talk about Relief Factor, but she, like me and millions of others, others, had little to lose, lot to gain.

If it worked, she started taking it.

She said she took it for only a few days and her pain began to melt away.

Now she is sleeping through the night.

What Relief Factor does is reduce inflammation.

That's the major source for pain.

It's $19.95 right now for a three-week quick start.

If it doesn't work within three weeks, stop taking it.

It's not going to work for you.

It works for 70% of the people, and it is a small risk for a potential of getting your life back, living a life without pain or less pain.

If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain, get your life back, go to relieffactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

That was the wrong

spot.

So

we're with Ted Cruz and we are in Washington, D.C.

You told me last time you were on, you said,

I think we're going to, I think we want,

I think I'm going to vote for witnesses.

What changed your mind?

So what I have been saying from the beginning is that if we go down the road of witnesses, that we needed to respect the principle of reciprocity.

In other words, we couldn't do what the House did, have a one-sided show trial where only prosecution witnesses are allowed and you block every defense witness, which is what the House Democrats did.

And so what I early on was urging my colleagues to do is if we go down the road to witnesses, and I initially just kind of kept my mind open on whether we would have them or not, but I said if we go down the road, we need to do it even-handedly.

We need to be fair.

We need to respect due process.

That means if the prosecution gets a witness, the defense gets a witness.

That means if they get John Bolton, then the president gets to call Hunter Biden.

I think that principle was right.

I think it was valuable, but I think it also ended up playing a big part in the final decision not to go down the road of additional witnesses.

And

that ended up being an important vote.

I spent a lot of time

within the conference trying to get us to 51 votes to say enough is enough.

The American people are tired of this.

There were 18 witnesses who testified the House proceeding.

We heard hour after hour of witness testimony of documents, the most important documents in the entire impeachment proceeding, which is the transcript of the call that's at issue here, the president declassified and released.

And so we had a ton of evidence before us.

And on all the evidence, the president hadn't committed an impeachable crime.

He hadn't met, the House managers didn't meet the constitutional standard of high crimes or misdemeanors.

And so I, at the end of the day, agreed that we didn't need additional witnesses because they hadn't proven their case.

But I think laying out reciprocity, making clear that

this

will go both ways.

I got to tell you one of the consequences of that.

I think there were a whole bunch of Democrats who were terrified of going down the road of witnesses.

They all voted for it, but I think it was one of those instances in the Senate where they voted yes and were hoping the answer was no.

Correct.

Because if we'd gone down the road of witnesses, if we'd been hearing testimony from Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, I think it would have been very Democrats are terrified of the evidence of corruption.

And Glenn, let me commend you.

You were one of the very very first to dig in to the substance of barisma and the evidence of corruption and lay it out.

Everyone else caught up to you, but as is often the case, you were ahead of the pack by a good chunk.

I will tell you that I have a special coming up on Thursday that

I will share with you off the air the evidence that we have.

It's beyond

anything that we found.

We found links through

money laundering.

We found the money laundering leaks.

And there was something else going on that Congress needs to be aware of.

And I'll share that with you when I look forward to the air.

Will there be a

investigation on

how this thing happened?

I mean, the whistleblower shift any of that.

Will anybody pay?

So I hope so.

A couple of nights ago i i had on my podcast verdict with ted cruise uh lindsey graham and so invited him to join and actually lindsey and i had a lot of fun on the podcast it was very funny that we we film in an in a basement studio here in dc and lindsey was cracking jokes going all right if no one sees me again i'm in an underground basement in washington and and look it's pretty low budget so we got these giant microphones we had shag carpet and he's like looking around going wait if you guys are number one who the heck is number two?

Some guy and a man by the park?

Like, what's wrong with you?

Anyway, I say all of that to say an answer to your question.

Lindsay said on the show that he wanted to see investigations into Hunter Biden and the burisma, and he wanted to see it on foreign relations.

Jim Risch chairs foreign relations.

Lindsay chairs judiciary.

It's got to be one of the committee chairmans that goes down the road.

I'm on both committees.

So my answer to that is yes.

We should investigate because the law should apply fairly to everyone, regardless of party.

And people are frustrated.

How come people could commit corruption during the prior administration and get off scot-free?

That's not right.

There needs to be accountability.

Thank you so much.

Senator Ted Cruz will be watching you tonight at the State of the Union and listening to your new podcast.

You can get it wherever podcasts are found.

Number one now on Apple Podcasts.

All right, back in just a second.

A lot more to cover.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Did you know that in ancient Persia, roses were actually weapons.

Soldiers would cut thousands of them and they would make them into little darts, dip them in poison, and then use like a little type of catapult to launch them over the enemy walls.

It wasn't really efficient.

But most people don't know that, and mainly because none of that is true at all.

But now that I have you thinking of roses, Valentine's Day is around and they are deadly darts.

If you don't bring them home on Valentine's Day, deadly poisonous darts to the heart for you.

800 flowers, 1-800 flowers.

Right now, if you order early, you can get the 18-stem enchanted rose medaly for $29.99, or you can double it to the 36-stem bouquet for $20 more.

This expires tomorrow.

Prices are already going up, so get this today.

1-800 Flowers picked at the peak, shipped overnight.

Great appearance.

Thank you.

All right, welcome to the Glen Beck program.

We're in our studios in Washington, D.C.

We're going to talk a little bit about the Rush Limbaugh

announcement yesterday, which was

I just well I'll talk about it later

our prayers are with Rush

and his

and his family

horrible news yesterday

all right we have Steve Dace who is now

in Iowa

and he is

There to tell us what the hell is going on.

Steve, Iowa is making the counting process in Florida look absolutely professional.

What's going on, Glenn, is this is central planning.

It's only fitting that Bernie Sanders likely won the caucuses because you're watching his worldview

play out in real time.

I mean, this is the DMV.

This is an election brought to you by Iran is the lost city of gold.

Net neutrality and tax cuts will kill us.

Rape hoaxes, collusion hoaxes.

Michael Evenetti for president.

I mean, that's what you're watching.

And the same people that want to ruin everything else in the culture are ruining the Iowa caucuses in real time as we speak.

So this is something that they said that they had, they were working on.

They said, we've got all kinds of backup.

There's not going to be a problem.

This app works wonderfully.

First of all, do you believe that any of the crazy conspiracies that are going around mainly, I think, from Bernie people?

Because if I were a Bernie person and they treated him like they did last time and now he's winning and you're taking that away, you lost the poll,

that just mysteriously was not fit to print the day before, and he was number one in that poll.

Do you believe any of the conspiracies?

Or is it just flat out incompetence?

I believe the Des Moines Register polling conspiracy, but I think that had more to do with Pete Buttigic than Bernie Sanders.

And with the caucuses, I think, you know, pardon me, Glenn,

they had an Obamacare website ready to go to.

And I just think this is what central planning does.

This is what it does.

And what happened four years ago is they actively screwed Bernie over.

And so in order to alleviate that, they came up with a three-tiered bureaucracy and then they attached an app to it.

And so this is a typical leftist solution.

When people don't like an existing bureaucracy, create even more that they'll hate all the more.

And that's exactly what's going on here.

And I think that's the part people need to understand.

For 50 years, we had these caucuses.

And we had one issue with Rick Santorum eight years ago when one rural county didn't count properly in a razor-thin election and it went from plus eight to plus 12 on the certification process.

That was the only issue we had in 50 years.

They have turned this thing in to a cluster of epic proportions because this is what Medicare for all looks like.

This is what your education, this is like a John Stossel documentary on the public education system.

This is waiting for Superman playing out with a caucus.

This is everything leftists do, every solution that they have, is what is going on here in Iowa.

Now, they say that

this new app, which I happen to have, in fact, Sarah, if I could open up this app, they say it's very, very, very high-tech.

And

I'm just opening it up.

Just a sec.

Hang on, it's just

have to.

all right now I'm

now I'm fully connected and so I can see what's going on.

I mean what are they doing and and why if they said they had three different things one very high-tech and they blamed it on slow internet speeds uh-huh

So they have that, but they said we have the paperwork we have photos of all the paperwork.

So we had a three-fold system.

You obviously didn't because it doesn't take that long to look at photographs or to count numbers on a page.

So

are you going to be able to trust?

Are you going to be able to trust these numbers at all?

Because they're clearly not telling you the truth of how bad it is.

I think it's obvious that they're not.

That part, they're not telling you the truth.

And last time I heard that sound is when I met my wife, because we met on an AOL chat room 25 years ago.

Okay.

And so

the whole thing is ridiculous.

And I think what you're learning is that the counting process doesn't have full confidence and accountability, that they didn't do these counts properly.

Because here's the process is with the herding process.

When your candidate's not viable, and you've got to move from one candidate to another, and all of that politicking is going on right there in real time.

I'm sure a lot of your listeners saw this on cable news last night at caucus sites where, you know, Andrew Yang's not viable or at a lot of caucus sites, Joe Biden wasn't viable last night.

And so where are his supporters going to go?

And so trying to figure that out through the process of three counts, it's pretty obvious they're not sure about their own count because if they were, we'd have had these results by now.

Now, we have California saying that they have a new app, too, and they're going to be voting for the first time on an app.

You think that's going to change between now and the California primary?

You know, it's funny how

we think that,

and this is kind of the progressive mindset, isn't it, Glenn, that anything old is bad.

Anything old.

And hey, you know, we don't keep doing things because that's the way we've always done them, right?

That's the worst excuse to continue.

But maybe the reason why your great-grandmother great-grandmother passed her chocolate chip cookie recipe down to your grandmother, and your grandmother passed it down to your mom, and she's passing it down to you now is because it's the best damn chocolate chip cookie recipe anybody's found.

That's why it survived this long.

And I don't, not everything's got to be retconned and refinished and modernized and contemporized.

You know, it's just as simple as count heads, write the number down, and turn it in.

How hard is that?

How do the people in Iowa feel today those people who worked their butts off who who canvassed neighborhoods who have you know dragged people out to make sure that they were at caucus their vote really almost doesn't matter now because iowa is the first it sets the tone for the rest and if i were a voter i would be so angry that my vote i've been disenfranchised even if they count it later it doesn't if that's not what i went for we went to set the table and to start this thing and now my voice hasn't been heard

i think you've got two choices in how to react to this one is um you don't want to admit the entire fallacy of your statist worldview and so you'll you'll go to conspiracy um because it you don't want to admit that central planning on this level bureaucracy on this level, simply can't be trusted and doesn't work.

That the same fallibilities in human nature that beguiles all of us doesn't go away when we put on a government uniform or we belong to a central structure.

We bring those same imperfections into the process with us.

And so you have a choice.

You can either admit that you have been a victim of your own worldview, that what you want to do to healthcare, what you already did to education and energy, the reason why you wrecked those industries is because

you don't need smarter people.

Your worldview is bad.

You can now admit this to yourself now that you're a first-person victim of this, or because you don't want to admit this to yourself, you just say these particular people implementing it are bad, and you go down the road of a conspiracy.

I think that's the choice Iowa Democrats have today.

Steve, would you say it's fair, just judging by the way these candidates are reacting to the potential results that are on the way,

that Butigej seemingly did pretty well and Biden did not do well.

I think if you, you know, Bernie Sanders this morning put out what his canvassers had internally on about 40%

or almost half of the precincts.

And it lines up a lot with what the leaked results of the Des Moines Register poll that were never officially unveiled have to say.

And it goes with the trend lines, too, that I tweeted out in the middle of the night last night, just following a lot of Democrats across the state state reporting from their caucus sites on Twitter, pardon me, that it looked pretty close between Sanders, Budigage, and Warren, and it looked like Klobuchar could topple Biden for fourth place.

So I think what you see out of this process is Joe Biden is a mortally wounded candidate.

And you're already seeing polls in South Carolina close.

This whole thing about the black vote is largely overblown because I think what people don't understand, because a lot of Republicans get their view of the Democratic Party from the media and Twitter.

And the reality is, black folks aren't watching CNN and MSNBC.

They don't watch that stuff.

Rich, white, affluent people do.

And so they're going to pay attention to the race once it gets to them.

And you're going to see the candidates that have the momentum are going to close the gap, similar to how South Carolina was going to be Hillary Clinton's black firewall in 2008.

And that's the place where Barack Obama essentially won the nomination after winning Iowa.

So I think that

you're saying Joe Biden is a mortally wounded candidate in this race

so um sanders i mean it was either sanders or buddha judge um that won last night i think just by based on everything that we do know um

Sanders has been and Buddha Judge I mean Buddha Judge hasn't been robbed as much as Sanders has

because Sanders could have used the momentum Buddha Judge even coming in second

really helps him a great deal.

Sanders not getting that push and seeing a dominant win hurts him.

Do you agree?

I kind of disagree.

I think this fits into his whole M.O.

System can't be trusted.

That's why we need radical solutions.

We need revolution.

Even the people that you have voted for all these years against those rascally Republicans, they'll try to screw you too.

I think it plays right into his M.O.

I think Buttigig is the candidate that got screwed more than anybody else.

I think think that's why you saw him go out there and declare victory last night openly, trying to capture some kind of momentum, because he lost a chance to kind of be the shiny object and the new hotness.

And I think what the National Democratic Party is wrestling with right now is if

it's really a Bloomberg, Bernie Sanders choice for them, which is do they think Michael Bloomberg is somebody that can win enough of their base over to stop Bernie Sanders?

And if not, then time to get your seat before the music stops playing, you know, which is the Soviet national anthem, but you've been playing it for years anyway.

Thank you very much from Iowa.

And I can't imagine being a voter in Iowa today.

Well, by the way, do you want to just touch base real quick, Steve, on the numbers of Donald Trump?

Tremendous turnout for Donald Trump last night in Iowa.

Yeah, I think they said it was a record for an incumbent president ever.

And I think that's another story, too, on the Democratic side, guys, is their record turnout never materialized.

I mean, they had about 2016 level turnout, not the 2008 record turnout that they thought they were going to get.

And that's with a whole bunch of candidates that were all viable at the same time.

That does not bode well for them in a lot of these rust-belt states going forward in the fall.

And it shows, I mean, I have to tell you,

for a caucus, for Donald Trump, an incumbent,

I'm not leaving my house.

I'm not leaving my house.

I mean, why would you do it?

For them to have a record turnout is remarkable.

Remarkable.

Okay, Steve, thank you so much.

Take a quick break.

Back in a minute.

That's hard to believe, but there was a time when explorers coming to this continent thought they were going to find the fountain of youth.

Of course, even more bizarre is that they thought it was going to be in Florida.

It doesn't feel like it would be in Florida if they found it.

They're all those old people from New York that are there.

Why would you think that?

That's why they're moving there.

Right.

The fountain of youth may not exist, but Shamani seems to have found the next best thing, including their GenuCell RH.

Genucell RH delivers next generation retinol anti-aging effects with zero redness or irritation.

Shamani is leading the industry once again with Genucell RH because it's taken all those aging signs and it's giving them the boot.

Maybe it's kicking them down to Florida.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Welcome to the program, the Glenbeck program.

We're live from Washington, D.C.

Stu is joining me here in the Capitol.

We hope to be back in Dallas tomorrow, but there is an ice storm on the way in Dallas.

Yes,

that sounds great.

But got to be back for the special, which happens on Thursday.

I'm going to be in the State of the Union tonight.

I'm going to be there in the chamber, which I never thought I would want to do, but I did it last year, and the perspective you gain from watching the senators and the House is remarkable.

I think there should be a camera on those people all the time.

Oh, I definitely want you there because I remember all your observations from last year.

It's crazy.

It is.

Yeah, because you see all the stuff that I'm showing you.

You see

how are people reacting?

And, you know,

they're not going to show Elon Omar's reactions to a lot of things because they probably don't want people to see it.

Oh, yeah.

But you can see it.

Yeah, I can see it, and I can report it back to you.

So I'm going to be doing that tonight.

We're going to have our live broadcast.

I open it at 7:30 tonight.

If you're a member of Blaze TV, you'll be able to see it.

But we have our live broadcast tonight.

It starts at 7:30.

I think we throw it over to you and Eric Bowling at 8.

That goes for a while.

Then, immediately following the speech, Bill O'Reilly is giving a live reaction, and that gives me time to get out of the

house chambers and down to a camera where I will tell you my inside-the room feel and take.

That all happens tonight.

If you're not a member, join us.

That beer comes from Mexico, you know.

That beer is coming from Mexico.

You drink it, you die.

That's what I heard.

I saw that.

I saw that in an ad from Budweiser.

Stay off that beer.

Stay away from that.

Yeah.

Thank you so much, children.

Appreciate it.

All right.

We have Michael Knowles in studio in Washington, D.C., and we're going to talk about.

We're going to try to find something to talk about.

I hear there's something going on.

All right, let me tell you about our spotlight sponsor.

FBI calls home title theft one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes.

This is why you really need home title lock.

Nobody is watching this stuff.

You know, well, I got mortgage insurance.

No,

that's for when you're buying the house.

Once you have it, nobody's watching that.

This is an epidemic in New York.

Another reason why I don't live in New York anymore.

You can get evicted from your own house.

You can lose all the equity.

You lose your house.

They steal it.

It's bizarre, but that's the world we live in today.

They're still counting votes in Iowa.

That's how bizarre of a world we're living in now.

This is the Glembeck program.

Michael Knowles

is with us now.

He's with the Daily Wire.

He's the Michael Knowles podcast.

He's the host with Ted Cruz, number one podcast in the country.

He joins us, and a personal note about Rush Limbaugh.

I start there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Our sponsor is Shave Secret.

Shave Secret is just, I mean, it's so simple.

It is so cheap.

Look, here's the thing.

You've been marketed to your whole life.

Oh, this shaving gel is fantastic.

It's cool.

It's creamy.

It's wonderful.

It expands in your hands.

Buy it now and then buy some more and then buy some more and buy some more.

Here's the real thing.

This is Shave Secret.

Here's the secret.

You don't need any of that crap.

You need about three drops of Shave Secret.

It is a proprietary blend of essential oils.

I love essential oils.

And I shave with crystals.

Anyway, you take three drops of this stuff and put it in a wet hand.

You smooth it into your beard or on your legs.

Hey, who's to judge?

You shave anything you want, sweetheart.

And

your razor just glides through.

It's unlike any shave you've had.

It's shave secret.

It's not a new idea.

It's what everybody was using, you know, before we discovered marketing.

Shave Secret.

It's inexpensive.

It's on the shelf of your favorite grocery store.

You'll find it at HEB or

what's the one up here?

Wegmans.

First president I voted for was Ronald Reagan.

And

I couldn't vote for him in 1980.

I wasn't old enough.

In 1984, I was proud to be,

I think,

well, I think there were only four people that ended up voting for Mondale.

But I was proud to vote for Ronald Reagan.

But I was still learning an awful lot.

And back in those days,

there were no teachers of what I now know.

There was no

balance to the news, even though we had the fairness doctrine.

There was no balance.

You know, balance then was like CNN and MSNBC.

Oh,

well, thank you for that.

And I heard a guy who was sweeping the country.

He was a guy that was just doing a local radio show.

And there was another guy, his partner, that left ABC Radio.

And in his contract, he had a bunch of satellite time.

He had negotiated one of his contracts that, you know, for every year, he gets so many hours of satellite time.

Well, back then, satellites were wildly expensive.

And that's what was required if you wanted to do a national show.

And there weren't a lot of national shows and there certainly wasn't anything like Rush Limbaugh.

And Rush Limbaugh had gone into San Francisco and other places and he had been turned down.

But he was in Sacramento and this guy happened to hear him and thought, this guy,

that's a worthy use of my satellite time.

This guy could change things.

I remember first hearing him

with talent on loan from God

from behind the golden EIB microphone

and thinking this guy is crazy.

He doesn't care.

He'd say anything.

And I learned from him.

He was a teacher,

not radio.

He

taught me

how to find truth.

He taught me to question things.

He taught me why things are the way they are.

And I think the most important thing he taught me and

all of America was, you're not alone.

It's not just you.

There are millions of us.

The message I want to send to Rush today is

Rush learned that lesson, and it's hard

because of

his life and what he does and how people treat people nowadays.

He lives

behind golden gates much of the time.

And those of us who do this, we lose,

it's a one-way street so many times.

And we can forget and we can feel like we're alone.

Rush, there are millions of us who are praying for you today.

I remember doing a show and having to go to ABC radio back in the early 90s.

And I was just starting to think about doing a talk radio show, and we had to fill in for a national show.

I don't remember which one.

And Premier Radio Networks is who syndicates Rush and now syndicates me.

They said, We have a studio open in New York.

And we went into the studio, and there it was: the golden microphone and the giant oil painting of Rush behind me.

And they said, Yeah, just do it from here.

Rush hadn't been in it for probably a year,

but it was awesome just to be in that room and a little humbling to be behind the microphone.

Just a few weeks ago, I lost my good friend, Don Imos.

Don was a childhood hero of mine.

He was the

and only people in radio who really study it, which are very few people now, who really know the history of it.

He was a Jack Benny or a Bob Hope.

He changed radio.

He

made his mark and changed morning and comedy on radio.

He's an early pioneer, really, of talk radio.

He just wasn't talking about politics.

He was a legend.

But I think

Rush Limbaugh is not only a legend, he's a pioneer.

The difference is

a pioneer

knows they might get killed along the way,

knows that they might get stuck in the mountains, knows that this is risky.

I'm alone, and I'm making this trek over this mountain because I believe there is something on the other side, but there's no real evidence that what you're looking for is actually there.

That's Rush Limbaugh.

Somebody, I was having dinner last night, and somebody at the table, we were talking about Rush, and somebody at the table said,

Well, God forbid if the worst happens,

who will replace him?

And I will tell you this.

I thought of that, but in a different way when I heard this news, because what I thought was this changes radio.

This there is so much pressure on these radio stations to stop doing talk radio.

And one of the reasons why they continue to do it is not because of Mark Levin or Glenn Beck or Sean Hannity.

It's simply because Rush Limbaugh is on that station.

Without him, I don't know what happens to the rest of us on talk radio.

And I sat there quietly at the table as people were banning around names, and And I finally said,

guys,

there is no replacement for Rush Limbaugh.

There is no replacement.

And I don't mean this to be humble or

I mean this because it's true.

And maybe you can only understand this when you get to be my age, but I remember being at the kiddies table.

Then I remember being the newly married couple.

And there were several couples ahead of us.

There were the grandparents, and the parents, and the aunts and uncles.

And as I get older, I realize there are more people down towards the kitty table and fewer towards the exit, if you will.

And you find yourself sitting there as the patriarch of the family at some point, and you're like, wait, wait, how did this happen?

When did this happen?

And when I heard the news, I went through through in my head the people

that are

still around.

The legends, the icons, the people who taught me,

the people I watched, the people I admired, the people that made this industry.

And Rush is the king of them all.

Rush,

I'm not only praying for you because

you're a good guy,

and I'm grateful for what you've done for me personally,

not for my career, but as a person in America that cared.

Thank you for being with us.

But I'm also praying for you because I don't know what happens to our voices

if you go away

because

you're the king or the mayor of Reelsville, as you said yesterday,

as mayor

with none of your your bogus

ego in it that you express on the air, but the real you should know

if the

the patriarch goes away none of us are qualified to sit in that chair

Michael Knowles joins us in one minute

so there's nothing worse than you know spotty Wi-Fi you're sitting there in your office pretending to work while you're actually watching old episodes of you know whatever and it keeps pausing, and you're like, come on, I mean, I don't have all day, I only have eight hours here.

That's bad, but what's worse is unsecured Wi-Fi.

Even when it's password protected, unsecure Wi-Fi lets cyber criminals watch your activity and steal the financial account information and passwords that you send online.

You need powerful layers of protection for your devices and online privacy.

What you need is Norton 360.

With Norton 360, you're going to get a secure VPN that has bank-grade encryption that'll help keep your information, logins and passwords, more secure and more private when you're on Wi-Fi.

You also get a password manager.

Good God, I hate those passwords.

I just, I can't think of any more words that I will remember, okay?

I can't think of anymore.

That's why you get the password manager.

No, but that will manage it for you.

Anyway, you get a password manager that easily and securely creates stores and manages your password, credit card information, and other credentials.

I'm not smart enough to figure that out.

There's also a PC SafeCam feature, which notifies you if cyber criminals try to use your webcam to help block them.

No one can prevent all cybercrime, but Norton360 is the ally that you need, the most powerful one to give you real cybersecurity.

Michael Knowles

from

his podcast,

Michael Knowles podcast.

That's with a K.

I mean, I just point that out because we learned last week from Don Lemon that all the people that are listening to us don't know how to spell, Michael.

They don't have that spell in that geography.

Geography, them maps and stuff.

How are you?

I'm good, thanks.

It's great to be here with you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Congratulations on your podcast with Ted Cruz.

Thank you.

Yeah, you don't, you know, you don't

get the credit,

you know, that

he is rightfully getting.

I think he's got a bigger name than I do.

Yeah, he does.

He does.

I now have the distinction of beating my own podcast with a new podcast.

That's right.

Ted Cruz number one.

My show a little below number one.

Yeah, yeah.

So that is, that has been

crazy.

It has been crazy.

It's crazy to watch.

This came together.

You know how things happen in Washington.

This came together last minute.

I fly out to D.C.

for four or five days.

And then impeachment goes on and on and on.

Adam Schiff never stops talking.

So the senator and I pretty much haven't slept in about two and a half weeks now.

Right, right, right.

But it's been a roller coaster and now it, now it looks like it's all over on Wednesday, but anything could happen.

Yeah, now he said he was that you guys were thinking about doing

maybe once a week and just kind of going over everything.

We're having so much fun and I think it's never been done before, which is that we go to this bunker studio somewhere in D.C.

The senator comes straight from the hill.

It's the middle of the night.

Somehow Senator Cruz does not need sleep.

And then we stay up all night writing this show, filming this show.

I sleep, of course, through the entire rest of the day.

He goes back to the hill, does it all again?

Right.

So what is the thing that has been the most intriguing about

this impeachment process that you are watching it firsthand coming out of somebody, a witness?

What's so intriguing to me is that it's not scripted.

I had this vision that impeachment, all the Senate proceedings, there's a script.

They plan it out.

There's nothing new that happens.

And what I learned from Senator Cruz, and we had Senator Graham come through the other night, is

there is very little coordination.

I mean,

someone will say something.

Adam Schiff will make a mistake in his argument.

And Senator Cruz and Senator Graham will run into the cloakroom, write a new question down.

That question will go up.

That'll have another senator asking a question.

Before you know it, there are three, four, five votes in play on whether or not to drag this out three months or whether to keep it for a week.

That was what I heard on the podcast that I thought was really interesting was that it it was Elizabeth Warren that really flipped some Republican votes

the wrong way for her.

That's right.

Elizabeth Warren, particularly when she asks these pointed questions, she asked Chief Justice John Roberts more or less when he stopped beating his wife.

The question was, when did you lose all your credibility?

And that really irritated some of those moderate Republican senators who realized that this had become a thoroughly partisan process and was degraded even by the levels of Washington.

So tell me about your thoughts on Iowa last night.

I would like to break a little news on your show, Glenn.

Yes, yes.

I would like to declare myself the winner of the Iowa caucuses.

I had exactly as many official votes as Peter Guttigeg, so I can't wait to go into New Hampshire.

You know, I was listening to it last night, and they were saying I came home, I was having dinner out, and I came back to

the apartment, and I go in and

I'm looking at

turn on TV, I turn it on CNN,

and

I turn my back, and they said, and notice

here are all of the candidates, and notice all of the zeros.

And I thought, wow, they are, they're actually calling all the candidates zeros.

Shut it up.

Totally.

And I was like, oh, they don't have anything yet.

I really thought they were calling them all zeros.

I'm like, this is the first time CNN's ever told the truth.

Total honesty.

Right.

And, you know, I have to tell you, last year in 2016, last year, last cycle in 2016, I thought they did a much better job of stealing it from Bernie.

I think they're being a little too transparent about CNN.

So what do you think?

What do you think?

Because I, you know, Ted and I were talking about it about an hour ago, and I don't believe the conspiracy theories.

However,

if I'm a voter for Bernie, I think I do.

Right, of course, because they really did pull a lot of strings last time, and they've been so dishonest.

It's been such an opaque process.

And to bungle it on this level has not occurred in modern American history.

It really boggles the mind.

Now they're also saying that there are inconsistencies in the vote tally.

So it's not just a reporting problem perhaps.

There's maybe something else going on.

Tell me what do you think?

What do you think Biden supporters are going to do when you get to Wisconsin if he doesn't win?

You're Biden's supporter.

I think you're just just referring to Hunter, right?

Everyone else is already just a bad guy.

I don't mean Biden.

I mean

Bernie.

Bernie.

Bernie.

Well, look, right now, who knows about Iowa?

We're probably not going to know that now until the next election cycle.

But he's way up in New Hampshire.

He's gaining in South Carolina.

Even in the Joe Biden firewall, it just seems as though that support has collapsed.

John Kerry is now saying Bernie is going to destroy the party.

He's going to run away with it, reportedly on the telephone in New Hampshire.

John Kerry, reportedly considering running for president again.

This guy got clobbered in 2004.

That would be like in 2012 if Bob Dole decided he was going to run for the nomination again.

That's the disarray of the Democratic Party.

He would be just as spry as he was in 92, I think.

All right, back in just a second with Michael Knowles.

Also,

coming up

at the top of next hour, we have a special guest that I think you're really going to enjoy.

This is the Glen Beck program and the one and only Michael Knowles is with us joining us now.

I was flying here yesterday and there was an Asian guy a couple of roles, a couple of rows behind me, wearing a mask.

And I thought,

I just wanted to say, dude, the masks clearly don't work.

Everybody in China is always wearing a mask, and everybody is always sick and dying from some weird bat or bird flu.

Stop it with the masks.

But it was, it was weird because I

rush, I think, made this announcement at 2:45 yesterday,

and by

248

it was everywhere.

Top trend on Twitter.

Everywhere.

You know I've been doing this podcast in the middle of the night with Senator Cruz so if I can get an hour of sleep here or there I try to do it.

I had just laid down to go to sleep.

Five minutes later my wife wakes me up because the news was that earth-shattering.

She had to tell me Rush Limbaugh has made this announcement.

And

I thought his statement that he made on his radio show was really beautiful because he got all the hate that you would expect from the usual suspects on the left.

Horrible.

Not just random accounts, but the blue check marks and the people who have been on CNN saying really vile, awful things.

And Rush had this amazing line in his statement.

He said, you know, I don't proselytize.

I don't talk about it much, but I've got a personal relationship with God, and I'm leaning on that personal relationship now a lot.

But I had, it's very important to me.

And it actually gave me, as a listener, as a longtime Rush admirer, a lot of of comfort because I thought, you know,

no one here gets out alive.

Rush Limbaugh has led a pioneering, unbelievable life.

Everyone's rooting for him.

Everybody's praying for him.

But he has lived really a magnificent life.

The people who need our prayers more are probably the ones who are cheering on this news on Twitter with the blue check marks, who are saying vile, terrible things.

They're the ones.

Oh, shut up.

I just, it's just.

Is that the way you feel when I say something Gandhi-like like that?

Shut up it, Michael.

I mean, it really is just because you don't see when you listen to Rush, right?

He talks about Talon on loan from God, half his brain tied behind his back.

But he said in the statement, he said, when I talk about myself, it's satirical.

He's actually, he's the guy who's just delivering the news, telling you the truth.

And

there's a reason it was the top trend of news all day yesterday.

I mean, he is the man.

And he is

not

that guy.

He's not the big ego guy.

He's not.

He is

shockingly,

I think, almost unaware of how big he is.

You know what I'm talking about?

It's hard to not know when the checks come in.

No, but there's a difference between checks and

just believing your own own hype.

And I think he doesn't believe his own hype.

And I don't think he questions any hype or any truth about him.

And you know, the other thing is that these people are saying terrible things,

not one of them has ever listened to the Rush Limbaugh Show.

Not one of them has listened to more than the two-minute sound bites that some awful left-wing operative sends out.

And if they listened, maybe they would learn something.

Right, right.

So what is your, how old are you?

I am 12 years old, is what people tell me.

But I am 29, about to turn 30.

29.

So what is your relationship with Rush?

I mean...

Rush is,

I also have a personal relationship with God, so I won't call him that high.

But he is definitely a lower deity.

He's just the guy that you grow up with.

He is.

He's the guy.

He is conservative broadcasting.

I mean,

I've been a longtime fan of yours since I was a kid as well.

And Mark Levin and other people.

But Rush was the first.

I mean, he was the man who invented the whole industry.

And so

the idea.

He's the guy who saved.

I'm a radio guy.

He's the guy who saved the AM radio ban.

Right.

If Rush Limbaugh

just was removed from the scenario, there would be no AM radio anymore.

Right.

And so you wonder as somebody who grew up, like I have not lived in a world where Rush Limbaugh was not dominating the news, dominating conservative talk.

The idea idea that that could be shaken,

it's impossible to believe.

What were your thoughts yesterday, Stu?

I mean, Rush Limbaugh is at least partially responsible for me being a conservative.

I mean,

I think I may have wound up that way.

My, you know, parents were kind, but they weren't really political.

I don't know where I would have wound up, but I remember after high school listening to Rush.

And, you know, I just remember him having the answer for everything.

All these things you'd hear on mainstream media and all of these arguments that you'd hear from the left, which I was barely acquainted with at the time, but every single time one of those would come up and you'd think, it's like law and order, you know, when like the first attorney goes, you're like, oh, that guy definitely murdered him.

And then the defense person goes, there's no waiver, and it's all set up.

You go back and forth depending on what argument you're hearing.

That's how you are in your formative years.

And, you know, it wasn't like that with Rush because they never had answers for what he said.

You know, they never attempted.

Yeah.

And they ignored him to their own,

you know,

demise.

And they talked badly about talk radio, et cetera, et cetera.

And then they tried it.

And none of them could ever succeed.

Oh, remember those efforts?

Yeah.

Those cute little efforts at left-wing talk radio?

Yeah.

It's kind of like, it's nice because it's kind of like they look at us like, oh, look at that cute little Christian movie.

Oh, they're out there making another movie.

Isn't that neat?

And, you know, the Great Testament, of course, the reason they hated him so much is he was just so damn effective.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and you see that.

I mean, this is conservative media does really well when it comes to open markets.

As we just said, you know, Ted Cruz and Michael Knowles, the number one podcast in America with the verdict.

I mean, like, when there is an open play,

open rules, free market, you see conservative stuff rises to the top often.

It's when it's like a studio system and it's a lot harder to get things made, but that is even turning around now with technology and capitalism.

So he is also a,

you know, like I look at

Steve Jobs and

I think, here's a guy who got out of college because he knew.

Rush is a guy who I don't know if

he chose or just couldn't afford.

I was a guy who couldn't afford college until I was 30.

I had to pay for it myself.

And

Rush was also a disc jockey.

And he's always hammered by the left for those two things.

But those two things made him effective.

He's a good entertainer.

To be a disc jockey, at least in the old days, you had to be smart and you had to be able to think on your feet and move quickly,

which nobody in television has that.

Nobody, and they can't teach that.

The other thing is, is that because he wasn't taught what to think, he thinks differently.

Right.

You know, there's this line we were talking about, Gandhi-esque statements before.

There's this line from Chesterton said, the angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.

There's nothing dignified about boring your audience to death.

And you talk about the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

If you can bring these ideas to life out of this rigid, desiccated university structure,

that's a wonderful thing.

And obviously, it has a major cultural impact.

All right.

Michael, is your podcast, is it over now that the impeachment is over tomorrow?

We We are insisting on keeping this thing going because it's just too much fun, and obviously, the senator hates sleeping.

So I guess we're going to be...

Are you living here in Washington?

Are you commuting back and forth?

Every day that goes by in my hotel, I start to wonder that question more and more.

We're going to be heading back to L.A.

pretty soon, but we would like to keep the show going if we can.

Obviously, the senator's a little busier than I am.

But

we didn't expect it to have the impact it has.

We didn't expect it to hit number one.

So what do you expect

from the president tonight?

Is he going to say anything about impeachment?

If the vote had happened today or yesterday,

it would have been the wildest state of the union in American history.

But because of who President Trump is, it might still be anyway.

Yes, yes, yes.

All right.

Thank you so much, Michael.

Appreciate it.

All right.

Back in just a second.

Standby.

We have Nigel Farage coming up in just a few minutes.

I had dinner with Nigel last night.

I was on a plane, and I saw Louis Gohmert, and he said, hey, you should have dinner.

You want to have dinner with Nigel Farage?

And I said, sure.

Okay.

Yeah, we spent

a couple of hours, and it was good because other people were buying him drinks, and I was just looking at it.

Keep them flowing.

I'm pumping him for information.

Keep them flowing.

Is he still alive after Brexit?

I thought everyone was going to die.

No, no.

And you know what?

They actually

said at one point that people would die from, and I'm not making this up, super gonorrhea

if Brexit happened.

Super mega gonorrhea?

It was just super gonorrhea.

And so far he does not have it.

At least that he would admit to last night.

So we'll talk to Nigel Farage, be in our studios here in Washington, D.C.

here in just a minute.

Our sponsor is Relief Factor.

Relief Factor, if you are in pain,

just try this, please.

Just try this.

I know you're like, oh, you know, it's a natural thing and Glenn Beck on the radio's talking about it.

I'm like, my doctor's never heard about it.

Because

they're not sending stuff to your doctor in the first place.

You know, they're not a big pharmaceutical company.

This is a natural remedy that actually reduces the inflammation in your body.

And it works.

The people who are talking about this are the people who have tried it.

Please get your life back.

Do the things that you want to do.

Get out of pain.

Try Relief Factor.

It's worked for me.

I take it three times a day.

I've taken it three times a day for the last two years.

That's 800-500-8384.

It's relief factor.com.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Okay, let's start with the count.

We have a microphone

thanks to the Steve Dace program, who's going to be on immediately following this program on Blaze TV and radio.

We have a microphone now where they are actually going over the counts

in Iowa.

Can we just open that up and see what's

Yeah, so four, six.

So they're still counting.

Those are all right.

And what?

Those are all right.

Right, and they've got the experts in

to

do it.

So

Iowa has released a statement.

This is from the Iowa Democratic Party.

Yeah.

It says it plans to release caucus results as soon as possible.

Okay, I had that one.

I had that one at 8 o'clock last week.

I was worried that they were going to think, you know what, these are possible to release, but let's hold on to them for a while.

Yeah.

And no, as soon as possible.

Is that an urgent message from the Democrats?

That's

legitimately a major announcement they just made.

They said they determined it was due to a coding issue in the reporting system.

The issue was identified and fixed.

The application's reporting issue did not impact the ability of precinct chairs to report data accurately.

It took longer than expected, they are admitting now, which is even if I've never seen them be so transparent.

As part of our investigation, we determined that with certainty the underlying data collected via the app was sound so they say they have the right results what they don't say is uh what they are they they know they're right they just don't know what they are doesn't make sense it really i mean uh

how how do you how do you say you have three systems no no don't worry about it there's no problem we have three systems we're taking photographs of everything

and we're counting and we're recording it by hand uh-huh

oh

and we're doing the app yeah well they one of the big things they decided, and this has been something that's been spread around a lot of people who are experts on these things, is

when they put in the digital voting systems to cure the hanging and shad system from back in the day and spent tons and tons of money, they put in these systems, but then didn't have any sort of paper backup.

So they would go and they would not know if votes were being changed in the digital process.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

No, not at all.

So

this was supposed to solve that problem, and now they can't even get us the results.

It really is incredible.

I mean, the incompetence.

I mean, when Iris asked to run a country, and they can't get their stupid caucus right, it's incredible.

These are a bunch of people standing in a room where their main job is to tell us how many people voted for who.

This is not a process that should take more than a few minutes in the year 2020.

And what's crazy is the conspiracies are coming from the left.

The conspiracies are coming from.

Look at, see, they're throwing the election.

Well, wait, so then why would you want an even more powerful party or

government?

You already know that people go corrupt.

Yeah.

Why would you remove all of the things that prevent corruption?

Why would you add more people into it and

central plan everything when you can see the corruption that happens with people?

Yeah.

I mean, why give them more power?

We realize how this stuff works out, and it happens every single time with them.

You know, the Obamacare website's a good example of this, too.

I mean, how much money did they dump into that thing and they couldn't even get it started?

Millions.

I mean, it was a complete and utter disaster, and this happens over and over and over again.

And what do they do?

They come back and say, number one, the only way we can solve this is for you to give us more power.

And then number two, without any irony at all, They explain to us that the system that they passed to fix health care now needs to be completely overturned because it's a piece of crap and everyone's dying.

And you need to give us more power so we can do the new thing that we want to do.

That this time it's really going to work.

So, here's what's crazy about this:

it was not like they were overwhelmed by people.

The Iowa Democratic caucus failed to reach the record turnout levels of 2008 when President Obama soared to victory.

Well,

who was expecting that?

Who was expecting that?

I mean, you know that no one is happy with any of

the supporters, but it shows that it's not only that they're not happy with the candidates that are running, it shows that even the candidates that are running, they don't really have a passionate base.

Yeah, no, I mean, it's true.

You know, it seems like

it's all up to

Bernie Sanders now is the one with the passion.

Oh, he is.

By the way, they did that unreleased poll as well that did not come out in the Des Moines register.

I don't know if you've talked about that, but it had Sanders at 22, Warren 18, Budigic 16, Biden 13.

Biden is over.

It does seem like it's tanking at the moment.

It is over.

He's still got a firewall in theory in South Carolina, but he loses those first three states.

That's not going to be a firewall anymore.

He needs to do something.

Well, it is a firewall.

He's just on the wrong side of it.

He's like, help!

Let me in.

I'm on fire.

Help!

Help!

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right, New Year deserves a new pair of Dakovis boots.

Takovis, Western goods for New Frontiers.

So how do you think Joe Biden's feeling today?

You can tell by the way he's talking.

He's not feeling good.

He does not think he did very well.

I think that makes him happy.

I'm not sure he wanted to win.

No.

No, the last couple of weeks, he's like, look, let me show you my CAT scan.

I'm not a healthy guy.

We really need a good, strong vice president.

Yeah, no, he's had a few weird moments telling voters not to vote for him.

Yeah, and it seemed to work.

His campaign of vote for someone else seems to be working.

So he is influential.

He really is.

Coming up in just a minute, final hour of the radio broadcast, we have

Nigel Farage on with us, who gave this incredible speech last week in the EU saying,

you know, see you later in a very nice way, and was silenced, if I'm not mistaken, by the,

I don't know, the speaker or whatever the hell they have is in charge.

She was Irish.

And

I thought that was part of Great Britain, but maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong.

She did not like the British flag.

She did not like what Nigel had to say.

We'll talk to him coming up in just a second from our studios here in Washington, D.C.

The fusion fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, apparently, CNN was right last week when they said that people in the middle of the country can't count.

Except they were Democrats that couldn't count.

The Iowa caucus, we still have nothing but zeros.

And I mean that numerically, but also as candidates as well.

We are following it.

They just came out and said, the DNC understands this is a problem, but we want you to know we're going to come out with those numbers as soon as we can.

Oh, okay.

Well, no rush.

Take your time.

Get into a little bit of that also.

Nigel Farage is with us.

The guy who stood up in the

EU

20 years ago and said,

This is ridiculous.

I want to abolish this whole system.

And it's because of him that English, the English now and Great Britain, is free of the EU, or at least they're on that road.

And you, of course, know this because economically the world has just gone into a giant sinkhole over the last couple of days, and everyone has super gonorrhea.

We'll talk to him coming up in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So, on the list of conversations you don't want to have, there's

religion, there's politics, those are uncomfortable topics.

But way, way lower on the list is talking about ED.

It's embarrassing, and nobody wants to talk about it, especially guys.

No interest in this whatsoever.

It's an uncomfortable subject, and most men don't want to talk about it at all.

Fortunately, there is Roman.

With Roman, you can get

free online evaluation and ongoing care for ED, all from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Nigel Farage,

formerly with the EU, welcome to the broadcaster.

Good morning.

Yes, I was made redundant at 11 o'clock last Friday evening.

I was the turkey that kept on voting for Christmas.

Right, yeah.

So I'm unemployed.

Yeah, that's great.

That's great.

So, your speech last week was absolutely tremendous.

I have likened it to a shot heard around the world.

All of our

governments, it seems, in the West, have

this flu, this pandemic of not listening to the people.

The people will vote, the people will speak, they'll get in, the politicians will say one thing, but they'll do another.

You guys actually broke the back of two systems.

The corrupt system

in England that was all the politicians that were just playing that game and the EU

yes I mean firstly you know if you look at I can take broadcasting for argument's sake the dominants of the BBC are state broadcaster which we have to pay 150 pounds every year to have and they were they've always been wall-to-wall pro the globalist project

and as you say

literally a handful of exceptions in the whole of the House of Commons in Westminster, they were all pro-EU.

It kind of makes the referendum result in 2016 almost a miracle.

Because we don't understand this here in America.

You know, we were talking about Rush Limbaugh now being very ill.

And you don't have that.

You don't have talk radio.

You can't say the things that I can say.

So

there's no rallying cry except that individual voice that happens to break through and somebody covers yeah I mean for me what made it for me was my speeches in the EU parliament 10 years ago and sure the BBC wouldn't cover anything I ever said or did but YouTube came along yeah so suddenly suddenly I was doing stuff and saying stuff and beginning to reach big audiences through YouTube and you know once you've got several million views then the BBC are kind of forced to give you a platform of some kind so that for me was what made it we would never ever have achieved Brexit if it hadn't been for the growth of the internet.

And we, you know, we won that referendum, but it's taken us three and a half years to get delivery on it because we've had former prime ministers, we've had businesses, politicians literally saying that the result wasn't valid, that the Russians interfered or we hypnotized everybody.

But in the end, we got there.

And I'll tell you what is significant.

I was talking yesterday to Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister and a big political thinker.

and he says Brexit is the biggest geopolitical change since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Agreed.

And I think we've dealt an absolutely fatal hammer blow to the globalist project.

And I, you know, I've always wanted my country to be outside the EU because I think we should be an independent, self-governing democracy.

But I'm not finished yet because I want to bring down the entire EU project.

So now

here's the issue.

We're seeing this with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is a hand grenade.

You're a hand hand grenade.

And that hand grenade goes off.

And it's not like nobody in the media in Great Britain, nobody in the EU, correct me if I'm wrong,

is going to take the time to go, you know what?

I mean, England, they were such good partners.

We lost them.

What were we doing wrong?

They're not doing that.

They're doubling down.

Yeah, their conclusion, and that debate that I was in last week that you talked about until they kicked me out, but I've been kicked out of better places than that.

It's fine.

But it was interesting, in that debate, speakers were saying, well, with Brexit, you know, what do we do to stop other countries leaving?

And their conclusion is more centralization.

Their conclusion is more bureaucracy.

They just don't get it.

They're not listening to ordinary folk.

And I'll tell you something.

We could go right now into outside Paris, into rural France, and we would have a conversation with French people, very much along the lines that you and I are now.

And at the end of the day,

people want to live in a nation state.

They want to have a flag, they want to have an identity, they've got their own culture.

And I'm all for

Europe where we cooperate with each other, we're friendly with each other, we're next-door neighbours with each other.

But the idea that we're going to abolish the great ancient states of Europe and hand all this power to these people in Brussels, it's never, ever going to work.

And

the sooner it's ended, the better.

So how do you get the elites?

I mean,

you know,

this is why there are revolutions and why France had guillotines,

because

they just don't get it.

They think they're above you.

Nothing's going to change their minds.

The people are revolting.

Yes, they are.

They're very revolting.

They're absolutely repulsive.

Right, right, right.

They're deplorable.

And so

how do you see this continuing without

real revolution?

Well, it's very interesting that the British have been through a revolution, but it's been a relatively peaceful

revolution.

For nearly half a century, the Conservative Party were the key proponents and supporters of the European project, despite the fact their voters weren't, but they were.

Sounds familiar.

I came along.

and challenged you know their assumptions i i mean the reason david cameron offered us a referendum was I was eating into his vote in a very dramatic way.

Then last year, then last year, over three years, no Brexit, a weak Prime Minister and Mrs.

May, and we had to fight a European election.

And I formed a brand new party, the Brexit Party.

We won the election.

The Conservative Party got less than 10% of the vote in a national election.

And they looked into the mirror and they said, either...

We become Nigel Farage or we're finished.

So what's happened is the Conservative Party are now saying all of the right things and that's that's the shape of the organization.

Well,

that's what we have.

They'll say a lot of stuff.

They're saying the right things.

But actually, do you know what?

I think there is a fundamental sea change has now occurred in British politics.

I think they realize that if they try to betray the promises they've made again, they are electorally going to be finished.

So I think...

I think we've got this to the right place now.

And even Tony Blair, you know, who is a ghastly globalist, even Tony Blair said on Friday, look, we have to accept it and try and make the best of it.

Yeah, well, Bill Clinton also said the era of big government is over.

Maybe I'm being too trusting.

But hey, look, you know, I'm speaking to you in the sort of still

euphoria

of being in Parliament Square.

For people who don't understand,

why is the EU so evil?

Why is it so bad?

It's the globalist project, all right?

The EU is the epicenter of the globalist project.

And there are many in America, in the Democrats, who, of course, I mean, had Hillary one last time.

She was all for tying America closely into the European single market.

What it's about, it's about literally the abolition of nation-state democracies and its replacement with supranational government, government at a higher level where the big decisions are made by people that you can't vote for and you can't remove.

And guess who supports this?

The giant multinational businesses.

They love it because the more bureaucratic, the more rules and regulations, the harder it is for small and medium-sized competitors to come along.

So it's kind of what the EU has done, it's destroyed capitalism.

It's replaced it with this new form of corporatism where big business, big banks, big politics operate hand in glove to their own benefit and to the distress of virtually everybody else.

And

they've kind of

virtually purchased the political class across Europe.

But I think now, now that Brexit's happened, and sure there are more debates to be had about the shape of trade deals and whatever, but I now think there's going to be a conversation happening in every European country.

You know, why did the British leave?

And once they understand the logic of that position, I think we can get back to the nation state

being the building block.

So do you see anybody in the media or in politics that is starting to wake up anywhere?

Well, I think the Italians.

I mean, you know, the Italians, though, I mean, they're, of course, quite a volatile people.

Just don't get them together with the Germans.

I mean, I love them, but they're right.

But I think, you know, Italy was taken into a currency called the Euro 20 years ago.

It's basically the Deutsche Mark.

You know, I mean, this is a German currency.

It hasn't suited Italy.

You've got a country there now.

where there's been zero growth for 20 years.

I mean, whole parts of the north of Italy, which in the 1990s, when I was in business, I would visit, and they were vibrant, manufacturing cities.

It's gone.

It's dead.

And I think there comes a point where the Italians, and they're beginning to have this conversation.

There's a guy called Mattio Salvini, you know, who's a very prominent politician in Italy.

And I think there comes a point where the Italians say, you know what?

This is hurting us.

We can't go on with this.

You've got countries like Poland and Hungary.

Countries who only 30 years ago got out from the Soviet Union, got out from Moscow telling them what they couldn't do.

And now what have they got?

They've now got Brussels telling them what they can and can't do.

And just think of it.

I mean, how can Germany and Greece be in the same country together?

They're culturally so far apart.

And I, you know, I'm not anti-European.

I love Europe.

I love the diversity of Europe, you know, the mix of all the different cultures.

That's what they're getting rid of.

But

they're trying to homogenize us.

They're trying to harmonize us.

They're trying to pasteurize us they you know they're trying to create a new european people and that's why they've got a flag it's why they've got an anthem it's why they want an army and and and there are many there are many particularly sort of trotskyites who see the european union as being the as being the prototype for one global government That's what the globalist project's all about.

And I do believe that Brexit is the first real kickback against it.

And it's the beginning of the end.

All right, so I want to talk about that globally here with Nigel Farage some more here in one minute.

Stand by.

Give me 60 seconds.

And let me tell you about Valentine's Day.

Tip for you, not all rose bouquets are created equal.

Do you guys have Valentine's Day?

We certainly do.

You do.

Do you hate it as much as?

I mean, it's a made-up holiday.

I think it's a rather false invention, and I think

love either comes naturally, you can't force it.

Yeah, yeah.

But if you don't get something, at least a card you're doomed you're doomed trust me i've had two wives i know i know uh head over to 1-800 flowers.com 1-800 flowers has some of the biggest and brightest roses prices that are really great right now uh and if you order early you can get the 18 stem enchanted rose medley for 29.99 or you can double it to 36 for just twenty dollars more but you better hurry because the offer expires today

All right, we paused for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

So you guys go through

prime ministers like I go through Cinnabons.

I mean, it's ridiculous how often you seem to be going through them.

It didn't used to be like that, but

that is what the European debate has done.

I mean,

arguably, I've personally got rid of two prime ministers.

I mean, Mrs.

May resigned last year the day after the European elections, you know, because we'd smashed her.

She went.

And Cameron resigned because I forced him to call a referendum, which he lost.

So, yeah, it's been a...

I mean, we have had,

in five years in the UK, we've had a major national referendum.

and three general elections.

Nothing like it has ever been seen before.

And the reason is this.

The referendum, we were promised, however we voted, it would be delivered.

The will of the people would be respected.

But was it hell?

Was it hell?

And what you've seen basically is the establishment trying their best not to deliver Brexit, but then in the end, being forced to do so.

So you get rid of the prime ministers, but you also got rid of one of my favorite guys, the guy who was just like, order, order.

Who is that guy?

He was great.

Yeah, thank goodness he's gone.

He may have been entertaining to the American public.

No, to Americans, that was great.

But believe you me, he was using every trick in the book to try and stop Brexit from happening.

What was his role?

Well, the Speaker of the Parliament, I mean, he has the casting vote,

if there was a tie.

His job is to decide what the order of business.

Okay, so it's like our Speaker of the House.

Absolutely.

But normally, legislation can only be tabled by the government.

But he allowed just backbench members of parliament to table legislation, all of it designed to stop Brexit from happening and to force us into having a second referendum.

So I'm very pleased he's gone.

Yeah, what was it like at 11 o'clock last Friday?

Just amazing.

I was in, I'd booked Parliament Square for the event, and we had 100,000 people come.

Despite the fact it was late at night, they'd all dressed up.

I think every eccentric in England had turned up.

People dressed up as Winston Churchill and Uni and Jack flags.

And

yeah, we had the big countdown and suddenly 11 o'clock was there.

And for me, I mean, this has been 27 years.

I've campaigned for this for 27 years, over 20 years in the EU Parliament.

And it was just the most extraordinary feeling.

And whilst there is still work to do, we've broken the back of this.

We've passed the point of no return.

We are never going back into that globalist project.

So yeah, euphoria.

I have to say euphoria.

And from those on the other side of the argument, most of them actually accept now that it's happened, finally, three and a half years on.

Well, we have three and a half years with Donald Trump, and half the country doesn't accept it, just will not accept it.

But it's the same game.

It's the same game.

I mean, what you've had here since Trump was elected is the attempt to delegitimize the election of the president.

You know, again, you've had the same Russian conspiracy theories and all the rest of it.

And yes, some who simply cannot accept Trump as a human being.

We've had the same with Brexit.

But I think now, now, those that now think, oh, gosh, we should rejoin the European Union, will begin to look like members of the Flat Earth Society.

So I think we're through the worst of it now, but it's took a long time.

So

Boris Johnson

compared a lot to Donald Trump.

Tell me the difference.

Oh, look.

Boris is a metro-liberal.

I mean, he is very much on the left of the British Conservative Party.

In the past, he's talked about huge amnesties for illegal immigrants.

I mean Boris is not Donald Trump.

But Boris,

whether through conviction or whether through opportunism, I don't know, but Boris came down in 1916 when the referendum was coming down Matraxidus, Boris decided to join the Leave campaign.

And it was very, very important that he did.

You know, he's got a constituency of people that support him.

He's also rather good fun,

which not enough politicians are.

And Boris now is utterly committed.

He's promised the British people he's going to deliver

a proper break from the European Union.

And if he doesn't deliver it,

his reputation will fall off a cliff in the same way that Theresa Mays did.

So as I say, whether it's through conviction, whether it's through political pragmatism, he is now utterly committed to this.

And hey, we've got a prime minister saying the right thing.

So let me just stir this up a bit because the guy who

my right hand is from Scotland

and proudly Scottish.

And

let's just say the Queen isn't necessarily, the royal family not necessarily his favorite thing.

And they've been trying to break free forever from.

Yeah, but it's

this is all false.

This is all false.

Is it?

You've got to mind my language here.

This is look, look, the Scottish National Party

say

we should leave the United Kingdom

but join the European Union.

That's not independence.

You can't be an independent country if you govern from Brussels.

It's a totally false prospectus.

And I'll tell you what, the one thing Boris needs to do...

If he gets back our fishing rights and gives Scotland 200 miles of the North Sea that's theirs, it'll be the end of a separatist army.

That'd be great.

That'd be great.

Are you going to the State of the Union tonight?

Yes, sir.

I certainly am.

Oh, good.

I will see you there

in the House chamber.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Nigel Farage,

former member of the EU Parliament.

Back in just a minute.

Thanks, Red.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So it turns out that this coronavirus is real, and they're talking now about China quarantining the entire country.

They just did another city.

They're saying, oh, no, it's getting smaller now.

You just did another 5 million people this morning.

And they're talking about quarantine, you know, just

one and a quarter billion people.

So that's great.

What is this going to mean to your stocks?

What is this going to mean to your money?

If this is an actual global pandemic, nothing good.

And that's why gold is going up.

I want you to call Goldline right now they're giving away a 99.999 uh percent pure silver bullion a coin that's three quarter ounce coin just for calling and having a conversation about your retirement portfolio and how to protect it please i urge you to call right now sure you get the the silver coin for free But the reason to do it is because you're responsible and I want you to look at what is possible if this is a global pandemic and protect yourself at least with some of your money in precious metals?

866 Gold Line.

Call them now, 866 Gold Line.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

It is the day after.

You remember that special, the nuclear holocaust, the day after?

Yeah, it's like that, except this is for Democratic politics.

Iowa is an absolute mess.

Meanwhile, in the closing arguments yesterday from Adam Schiff, listen to what he had to say about Donald Trump.

We've

claimed Trump.

Enough.

Enough.

He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again.

He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again.

You will not change him.

You cannot constrain him.

He is who he is.

Truth matters little to him.

What's right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.

I do not ask you to convict him because truth or right or decency matters nothing to him, but because we have proven our case and it matters to you.

Truth matters to you.

Right matters to you.

Does it?

Because a lot of those people are saying that men can have babies.

So I'm not sure that they're the ones to go to the truth on.

But notice he just threw in that he's going to cheat in the next election.

I love that.

He's going to cheat in the next election.

What evidence do you have to say that?

And by the way, with Iowa going on, you might want to not use that right now.

It really is a central part of their argument, which is we say we caught him before.

And even.

He's doing it now.

Yeah, he's doing it now.

The reason why we can't just let people vote is because we know he's going to screw with this next election.

Right.

Which is just a guess.

They're just saying it because they think he'll, it's like convincing you.

We caught him once.

That must mean he's doing it all the time.

Now, first of all, you didn't catch him.

And if you caught him with a big enough example, you could throw him out based on that.

You know what?

What they're saying is we know this isn't a big enough example, but believe me, if we caught him with this one, he's doing five more that are worse.

And we don't know what they are, but you better throw them out before we find out.

You know what's really frightening is that they have proven every step of the way in the last four years that whatever they accuse him of, they're

guilty of.

And the way they've gone off on he's going to cheat in the election, he's going to cheat in the election, he's going to manipulate the election.

Are they?

I mean, and how ridiculous is it?

This is a party who, at the time they're making this argument, has a two-month, two-month-old app that has never been tested at the state level, given to them by a company called Shadow Inc.

I kid you not, the name of the company is Shadow Inc.,

and we're supposed to be trusting them with our electoral future.

That is a fascinating moment.

Let me go to Kevin Ryan.

Kevin is one of our writers, and he's been out in Iowa.

Kevin, what did you see last night?

Boy, talk about an embarrassing situation, by the way.

It was a fascinating night.

I started at the Clobachar event.

It was supposed to be a celebration party.

It was pretty somber when I first got there, but

she popped out.

She came out first, as you guys know, and she was very happy.

She was so like surprisingly happy.

And then

not too much.

You definitely get the sense that these candidates have a good...

You get the sense these candidates do have

a clear picture of what they think happened in Iowa.

You notice Klobuchar was pretty happy.

You notice Biden was really sad.

You notice Budajej was pretty happy.

I think they definitely have enough information to get an indication as to where they stand, but we still don't know where

the delegates actually land.

I went to the

Bernie Wash party after Klobuchar.

So I got there right as he was speaking, and it was very somber because there was very much like, there had been a lot of chatter that, okay, this is Bernie's, and then,

you know, Pete's going to be in right behind him.

And, but, yeah, Biden was just completely...

from what we understand, completely decimated in the whole thing.

Like, yeah,

there's several,

reports did the thing where they went to an individual precinct and tried to line up and just getting Biden to 15% to be a viable candidate was a huge problem.

They couldn't get people over to the Biden side.

So they were all distributing to Butajej and Klobuchar afterwards.

And that's why they think, you know, this is the way this is going to turn out.

I mean, it looks like this is a great help probably to Biden because I don't think the narrative coming out of Iowa is going to be all that positive for him.

No, not at all.

I spoke to some caucusers

from all the candidates, but specifically the one for Biden,

they were pretty happy.

They said, okay, this is a good result for us.

Maybe going into New Hampshire, you know, the focus can be moving forward and everybody will kind of forget about what happened in Iowa.

So, Kevin, what was the

what did anybody that was part of the caucus that was a Democrat, were any of them saying, I can't believe this.

We've worked so hard and this is screwed up because of the Democratic Party here in Iowa.

I feel disenfranchised.

Was anybody actually saying those things on the ground?

Last night, everyone was just confused.

But there was also this air of like, well, of course this happened.

I mean, when I was here for the

Iowa State Fair,

a lot of the Bernie supporters I spoke with said, watch this next caucus.

Watch the caucuses.

It's going to be very shady because it was shady in 2016, and the same thing is going to happen again.

And that's, of course, coming from Bernie supporters who are kind of suspicious of the establishment.

And

so when I spoke to Bernie supporters last night, they said they held that same spirit.

Like they were not surprised, as surprised as everyone else was, at least.

All right, Kevin, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

God bless.

Sounds good.

Do you remember

a week of news like this, Glenn?

I mean, you had the Sunday, Super Bowl, Monday, Iowa.

Then, of course, now that's dragging on.

Tuesday, State of the Union.

Iowa still going.

Well, Monday, Rush Limbaugh.

Oh, yeah.

With late-stage lung cancer.

Yeah, I mean, that's more of an outside development.

But, I mean, these are just like planned news stories, right?

Like, this whole week,

Wednesday, what was the other thing on Wednesday?

Oh, the impeachment vote.

Yeah.

And then Thursday, you have this new special, right?

That's that's coming on.

That's going to be huge.

And then Sunday are the authors.

And we're all wondering, what are you wearing?

Who are you wearing?

It's what is the special on this time?

What is the

special on Thursday?

Is this the last one of the last pieces?

This is the billion-dollar question.

What happened to America's $1.8 billion?

You are not going to like the answer, but it is one you must hear, and one that I think when

Democrats hear,

they are going to be disgusted by it.

And, you know,

we have to make one jump.

Nothing is a theory except the very last jump, and you'll understand why.

We don't have the evidence for that last jump, but we can track that money right to this last jump.

And if you can come up, I think you deserve $1.8 billion if you can come up with somewhere else that that money went.

But we present this on Thursday.

It's a don't miss.

So tonight at 8 o'clock, we begin our live coverage starting with me of the State of the Union.

I have a couple of guests for about 15 minutes.

Then we throw it to

Eric Bowling here in the studios here in Washington where we're broadcasting now.

I'm going into the house chamber and actually watching it from the inside because you see it from a whole different angle when you're actually in the chamber.

Last year, I walked out with some real insight, and quite honestly, I'm a little disappointed that the impeachment vote didn't happen before this because,

oh, man, I was waiting for marching bands and whatever.

Oh, I totally think he's mentioning it tonight.

Yeah, I do.

I mean, he's not going to lose the vote either way.

You know, if so, he's not going to get removed.

I mean, unless he, I can't even think of a way he would.

But

if I'm him, I mean, this is his biggest stage.

He wants people to know that this is not real.

He'll get acquitted for it the next day.

He's already been basically cleared of all the Mueller report stuff.

He survived every one of these.

I think he wants people to know it.

I'll be very surprised if he just

talks about how good the economy is, right?

Like, he's going to, he can't, it's too much.

It's been dominating his world for, you know, how many months?

And imagine with all of the conspiracies going around on the left, not the right, the left that are saying, look at what they did.

They threw that last Des Moines register poll out.

They threw the Des Moines register right out the window and said, no, there's a problem with that one.

We now know that it showed Biden coming in fourth.

It showed basically what we think we saw last night.

And so they threw that out.

Now, this is in trouble.

Imagine what he could say.

Oh, and so

we want to learn from the Democrats on how to protect our election.

I mean, oh, it's going to be fun.

Oh,

between he has to make at least a joke about how inept they were with Iowa, at the very least.

And he's totally going to mention impeachment, I think.

So, Wednesday, we'll be back here with our view of the impeachment.

I'm sorry, the

state of the union.

Then we're on on to impeachment.

The next day is the final piece

at 8 p.m.

Please tell your friends it's free, so you don't have to be a member of the Blaze.

Tell them to watch it on the Blaze YouTube channel.

You can also get it on our platform, Blaze TV, if you are a subscriber.

And you get the, they're doing the code, right?

GB20 off?

GB20 off.

And then on Sunday,

the only way to watch the Oscars is with Steven Crowder because they all get dressed up.

Yeah, they all get dressed up, and it is hysterical.

They just have a little box in the corner and they just riff on everybody and it is really good.

Really funny.

Really funny.

Do you ever remember a week in the news where the Super Bowl was so swallowed up by the other events?

I mean,

you know, it's all the Super Bowl is the biggest event in the world as far as sports goes.

I mean, maybe there's some stupid soccer thing you can argue, which is not even a sport.

But really, I mean, you know, between Kobe happening before it, gosh, Rush Limbaugh, his announcement, all of these huge events line up in one week.

I don't think I've ever seen,

which was a great game.

I mean, it's basically swallowed up by everything else going on.

We've come to the point where it's multiple massive news cycles per day.

Per day, we are there.

Yeah, the only time I can think of the Super Bowl not being the big story,

I mean, it used to be for a week.

Yeah, all the commercials.

I think the last time was

maybe in the 90s when the Gulf War, and the Super Bowl was less about the game and more about Whitney Houston

singing the Star Spangled Banner.

Yeah, and I remember right after 9-11 was the same type of thing where they really had U2, I believe,

do a presentation on it

on 9-11 right after.

That's the only thing, but nothing like this.

That was one huge news item.

This is non-stop.

I mean, you can't keep them straight.

We sat with all of our guests today and said, okay, we got to talk about impeachment.

We have to talk about Iowa.

We have to talk about the last thing on anybody's mind was Super Bowl.

And like you said, great game.

Even me, I don't watch.

Great game.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I love this.

I love this

just unbelievably self-unaware tweet last night from Jeremy Dimon.

He wrote, without evidence,

top Trump campaign officials, including sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., are sowing distrust in the American democratic process, suggesting that Democratic Iowa caucuses are rigged.

Wait, have you listened to yourself in the last three and a half years?

That's all the Democrats have been saying about Donald Trump.

That's the entire thing.

He's not a legitimate president.

He threw the other election.

He was working with Ukrainians to throw the last one.

He's working with them now to throw the next one.

The Russians.

I believe the Russians was the accusation.

The Russians, well, also.

He was trying to get the Ukrainians to throw this one.

Now this one's, yeah, exactly.

It is really a fascinating thing.

Maybe we could ask the governor of Georgia, Stacey Abrams, whether, you know, whether that's a, because they'll make the argument on that, too.

Right.

She actually won that election.

They do this all.

the time.

And do they not remember what a big deal they made about Donald Trump not respecting the election results as he lost?

The second he actually won, it just completely turned.

And now they never respect election results when they lose.

How can you wake up in the morning knowing you said part one of that and come out and say part two?

Because you can easily say to yourself, you're not Adam Schiff.

Listen to what he said yesterday.

Whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach.

Trump, I'm quoting, Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support on the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country.

What?

Unbelievable.

That was in his closing argument.

Unbelievable.

It is

insane.

But we're here in the capital of insanity, Washington, D.C.

We'll see you tonight, eight o'clock.
