So in Calabasas, California, Yesterday,

Kobe Bryant was going to the Staples Center to

his facility where he was hosting a youth basketball tournament.

His kid was playing in.

And already there.

What's that?

And already there, or is that the daughter?

The daughter was going to be playing in the game.

Yeah, very talented basketball player in her own right.

And

he routinely took

a helicopter to do this travel because of the traffic's so bad there.

They had problems with really thick fog and circled

for a very long time.

And there's all sorts of complications.

And obviously, as everybody knows at this point, the helicopter crashes.

Nine people total are killed in the crash.

And

outpouring of

real reverence and

sadness for a guy who was really one of the all-time great players.

I mean, he is

top five to top ten player of all time.

If I was, you know, I'm not in the majority on this, but if I'm starting a team and I'm going to get their primes, I'm picking Colby Bryant over LeBron James.

Well, without a doubt.

Well, you don't like LeBron James.

But again,

if I'm starting a team, the liking aspect is not necessarily the most important thing.

I don't know if you can put your hatred for him aside.

You hate him so much.

I do hate him,

but that's not the real.

He's not.

I know, I know.

brian is an is an incredible player uh and you know that is obviously secondary to what's actually happening here um and everybody's heard all the you know it's been 24 hours now and that's 9 000 news cycles in this world so i mean everyone's heard all of this uh it's it is a really sad thing there's some an amazing sort of sidebars going on with that story though where

I find it fascinating to look back at,

for example, there's a reporter at the Washington Post.

Hey, before we go into that,

this was his private helicopter, right?

Who were the pilots?

You don't fly in that kind of thing.

This fog was so thick.

Yeah.

They said that in Calabasas, they don't see fog like that.

A lot of people had not seen it as thick like that in Calabasas for a while.

And,

you know, any helicopter pilot would know you don't fly in fog.

Well,

we'll know this, I guess, going forward.

They hit a couple really bad patches of it.

And at times, they thought they were going to be able to circle and then wait for it to clear and then make it past the fog once it cleared.

I know, like, they were saying that

the police and rescue workers weren't even allowing their helicopters to go take off to go check it out because the fog was that bad.

But, you know, who knows?

I mean, we'll...

I assume at some point we'll have the investigation and we'll know.

I mean, you know,

we've seen this with

people who are powerful before, where you say, like, no, we got it.

Come on.

You've been in a helicopter 10,000 times.

Nothing ever happens.

You know, it's every.

But anybody who has a respect for a helicopter, anybody who flies in a helicopter should know

you are,

you know, it's different than a plane.

Remember, JFK Jr.

was killed in fog in his plane because your body doesn't understand.

You can be upside down and it doesn't.

I mean, so you have no bearings at all in fog in a helicopter.

Yeah.

I mean, who knows?

But the idea that they took a chance and maybe thought they were going to be fine and probably had tried it five other times and it were fine.

That stuff does happen.

You know,

it's unbelievable, though, especially because he had really kind of cleared out a lot of, you know.

People knew him as so competitive.

They worried whether he'd be able to have a normal life afterwards where you're going and you're doing these other things.

How do you survive when you're that competitive and you lose the thing that you're so involved in?

And he had seemingly really figured it out.

He

seemed to be a great father by all reports.

He had won

an Oscar or what was it?

Over a short film that he had done.

He had built

all sorts of businesses and such when it relates to basketball with his camps and tournaments and all these things.

and seemed to really be doing a good job with all of this.

And then this happens.

It's just, it is unbelievable when you have someone that good,

that's that well-known, and really, really treated almost like a god in L.A.

And that.

Okay, so there's where I want to go to the Washington Post and to MSNBC.

This guy was not a good guy, at least at one point in his life.

I mean, the rape allegation

is brutal.

And we're going to have to suspend you for bringing that up, Glenn.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, Glenn has been suspended.

Yeah.

Because that's what happened to the Washington Boston.

Can I go home now?

You're not supposed to say yes.

I'm the one that's like, okay.

Yeah, Washington Post reporter tweeted an article from, I think it was 2016,

and it was basically the outlining of the actual evidence that was presented in the case against Kobe Bryant when it came to his assault in Colorado, or at least alleged assault.

And it's, you know, it goes through a lot of it.

It was not pleasant.

It was

not a fun read.

No.

and she got suspended because she tweeted it a few hours after the crash goes down everyone's in you know reverence mode and you're not supposed to do that which i think is probably a good piece of advice uh as far as timing yeah i mean it was on my desk this morning uh and i and before i read about the washington post reporter i read the i started reading the article and i was like Whoa,

I mean, who is running this today?

Yeah.

You know, it is, it's insensitive.

It's not the best thing to do on day number one, but you're suspended for it?

Yeah, I think that's very strange.

You know, again, a reporter

in the Me Too era, right?

A woman, female reporter, reporting, you know, setting this out and saying, like, look, hey, let's basically, what's the point there?

Let's not remember this person only because he was a great basketball player.

There was some really dark stuff that went on, and here it is.

Look, is it the right time to do that a minute after?

No, but we're so used to that.

I mean, you know, people like Ronald Reagan die.

And 10 seconds later, they're just trashing him all over the internet.

But you can't do that apparently to Kobe Bryant.

Now, look, I think Bryant, you know,

he seemingly had turned his life around from that time.

And that was 2003.

It was quite a long time ago.

It's just what I find really fascinating about this, and tell me if you think I'm wrong on this.

He has this accusation of rape against a 19-year-old 19-year-old who is working at the hotel.

And he comes out, and they have all this evidence that goes on.

And it's pretty dark.

I mean, you know, at the very least, he cheated on his wife, which he admitted.

He admitted he was doing bad things.

She said it was.

It cost him a pretty penny.

Pennies actually weren't involved.

It's funny because that's exactly the story basically starts as the Kobe Bryant rape case has, in the annals of popular culture, been reduced to something of a punchline due to the aftermath late uh namely the bryant's 4 million eight carat purple diamond apology ring that he gifted to his wife Vanessa which who's still you know still they're still married and they have four four kids I believe together

and she was not on the helicopter thankfully

but

you know they go through all this evidence and basically what happens in the case is it gets up to the point where the story of the criminal case is about to begin and right before that

she tells the the investigators and everybody, I'm not going to testify.

So because of that, the case gets dropped.

Now,

part of this is apparently a deal between Kobe and the accuser that says, look,

we won't,

if you don't testify in this case, which she doesn't, we will put out an apology, which he did.

Which he did.

And

we will

not abandon the civil case.

We're not going to try to, that's still going to go on as normal.

Because he was facing life in prison.

Yeah, I was saying it was charged with sexual assault and rape, right?

Forced imprisonment, I think, as well.

Yeah, I mean, it was, it was not good.

It was not good.

So she eventually goes and gets this, decides not to testify, and he releases an apology.

And the apology, in effect, says,

I believe that this was consensual.

However, However, after looking at her words, hearing from her, going through all the evidence, I truly believe that she did not believe it was consensual.

So, not I'm not

questioning her account.

I'm not saying she's a bad person because, I mean, that was what was going to happen in the trial, right?

They were going to come out and say she's had sex with all these people and she's a bad person and like she can't trust her.

And she didn't want to go through that.

And he didn't want to go through that.

So he says, Yes, I thought it was consensual, but yes, yes, I believe she did not.

Right?

That is me to 101.

If

this story happens in 2020, there is no 81-point game.

There is no MVP season.

There is no reverence tour.

There is no, I'm going to

retire next year.

There is no gold medal.

There is no second run of championships.

All of these things that he's being revered for today.

This guy's thrown out of the league when this happens.

Because

there is no disagreement about about how this could have gone down.

There is no believing him.

This basketball player is going to believe this massive basketball player and this tiny little woman.

We believe all women.

Everything they say can't be questioned.

All of these things that, I mean, if they'll believe

the Grett Kavanaugh thing, I mean, Kobe Bryant would have been out of the league because of this.

And look, if he did it, good, right?

He should be out of the league and he shouldn't have this reference.

But this is a different world, and they would have never given him let me give you sort of nuance, even available.

Let me give you two things.

First of all, there also would have been one other thing missing from the story today:

his 13-year-old daughter.

Wouldn't have had his 13-year-old daughter, would have been in prison,

so she wouldn't have been lost.

But

there's another way to look at this,

and it's

controversial and highly

unpopular.

But

I think it's possible that it is true.

And I'll give it to you here in one minute.

So there's a new report out about a major software company.

When I say major,

what I'm about to say applies to 250 million customers over the past 14 years.

But apparently, during that time, they had an unprotected database, which contained service and support logs for customers just like you.

In the logs were emails, IP addresses, all kinds of things.

Literally anyone with a web browser who came across this database would have access to all of it.

But that's only for 250 million people.

So are you one of them?

It's important to understand how cybercrime is affecting all of us.

Identity theft is another serious issue.

You know the drill.

Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds, and you're going to miss a lot of the things that will be the portal for the bad guys into your life.

So, Stu,

did you hear or watch the morning show?

The Apple TV show?

No, I still haven't subscribed to him.

You have to.

There is.

This is Apple TV, right?

Apple TV.

It's the one with Jennifer Anison, Steve Carell.

It's really good.

It's really good.

And it's very much the Matt Lauer story, I think.

Yeah, that's what it seemed like from the.

But not

Lauer in the media has not been treated with any possibility he was even close to

anything but a, you know, he's just a rapist, basically.

That's the way, that's the way Steve Corell is

perceived in this, too.

But my understanding from you is that they actually kind of

give it a little more nuance than that.

Not in the public.

Right.

Not in the public.

But behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes, everybody's talking about, well, did I know?

And

did I enable?

And I just dismissed it because I just thought it was, you know, that's the way things are.

And, you know, so there's a lot of nuance in it.

Okay.

But

here's the biggest nuance.

And

you really dislike him during this.

But at one point, he takes a young producer out who's, you know, up and coming.

And they're traveling and they're in Vegas.

And

he's kind of mentoring her.

You know, she's having a bad time and he's mentoring her.

And they have a good time.

They go out.

And he says, why don't we go up to my room and watch a movie?

Now, that's the first time that you would, as a woman or anybody, would say,

maybe not.

Okay.

Sure.

But let's go up in my room and watch a movie.

So they're watching a movie and the movie ends.

And they're having a good time.

And she says, well, I should probably go.

And he said, why?

Just stay here with me.

And she's like, well, I should probably go.

And he comes up and he starts to undress her.

And she doesn't say no.

She's just like, I, this, I don't.

And she freezes because

he's who he is.

It's a big star.

Pretty similar to her testimony in the Kobe case, by the way.

That's basically what she says.

That's why I'm bringing it up.

Okay, so she's not saying no.

And he's he's just, he's going for it.

And he's, you know, you're so beautiful and everything else.

He doesn't, he's not looking her in the eye.

So he's not seeing what we're seeing with the camera.

You know what I mean?

With her face on his shoulder.

You're not seeing what she's feeling.

And she's not saying it.

And

he really thinks that it's just consensual and a quickie.

You know what I mean?

It's a meaningless night in Vegas and they both wanted it.

He didn't know.

She felt it was rape.

I think both of those points of view can happen.

And especially when you are somebody who is powerful or famous,

if somebody is not telling you.

If somebody is a, if they're not saying to you, stop, rape begins when no

isn't listened to.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, right.

That's that's, I mean, you know, there are exceptions to that, obviously, people being passed out.

And

in general circumstances, I think that is a fair standard.

Unless you're going to begin a society where everyone signs consent forms every time they do something, you have to have some sort of verbal

cue to the person.

Right.

Because, you know, look,

when these situations are going on, you're not asking for permission every two seconds.

You're going on and you're saying, okay, you're picking up signs and vibes.

And

there would be no first kisses

if not for this.

So then the other problem is, though, for the Me Too generation, is

you sometimes can put people into an awkward situation to where they don't know what to do.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

For instance, like this episode with Kobe, you know, he's a big, powerful guy, especially if he's in your industry and he is really important.

You don't know what to do.

What do I do?

What do I do?

And you don't say no, but it doesn't make it less rape.

Do you know what I mean?

Sure.

So

that's the nuance.

Yeah, look.

And, you know,

it's just, how do you solve that?

And she says at one point she does say no, and he says at one point she does say no, and that's when he stops.

That is like both of their cases line up in that way, and both of their cases line up that it started consensually.

They kissed and did, you know, whatever goes along with that.

The beginnings of a sexual encounter.

They did that and both agreed that that was consensual.

So some point in between there, she says

she wanted it to stop earlier than she expressed it, and he didn't respect that line.

Now, look, that's a tough thing to freaking argue.

Like,

how do you figure that out in a court system?

And by the way,

any guy knows

you never know what a woman is thinking.

No, you never know.

This is why I always assume rejection.

Because it's always the safe way to go.

Yeah, just assume they want nothing to do with you.

And it's worked out for me.

Stubrageer, rape charge free.

Wow, a new business card title.

There you go.

That's out of the top of.

Let me get on LinkedIn real quick.

All you have to do is just assume every woman thinks you're ick.

I live my whole life that way, Glenn.

And look at me today.

Yeah.

Free as a jailbird.

You're listening to Glenn.

So

I really want to get to the impeachment on Saturday with Pat, but let's spend a couple of more minutes on Kobe Bryant.

Let me show you another reporter that is in trouble.

This one from MSNBC.

And I have no problem whatsoever.

If you work at MSNBC, you've caused so much damage by all of your

wokeness that I have really a hard time finding any sympathy.

But right is right, wrong is wrong, and this reporter made no error here.

Well, she made an error, but she's a different type of animal.

The type of error they're talking about.

So listen, here she is yesterday on MSNBC.

Yeah, it seems like he was just the kind of athlete, the kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Nakers, Los Angeles Lakers.

Kavita, if I could ask you to stay with us, we're going to go.

They said she said the N-word, and she did.

She said Nakers.

That is an N-word.

Well, it's not a word.

It's a K-N-word.

She supposedly was talking about the Knicks and Lakers together.

Right.

I don't know how, if you're a reporter on national television, you mix up Kobe Bryant with the Knicks, a team he never played for.

But, you know, whatever.

Obviously, she wasn't saying what they

claim she said.

And it's awful.

It's awful that people jump to that

immediately.

It is.

Incredible, right?

I mean, like, the fact that, like, what would be the belief here that she's going on MSNBC and just blurting out the N-word?

Yes, because he's black, and so that's all she sees.

Right.

Like, I mean, that's just so ridiculous.

However, it's wonderful to see liberals eat their own.

It is nice.

It is nice.

I do like it.

I do like it.

Because, I mean, this is interesting.

And once again,

let us once again prove our superiority.

Because here we are defending a Washington Post reporter.

They wouldn't do it in a million years.

And an MSNBC reporter, which they would never do for us.

And I don't know.

I mean, I think there's an argument, and it's been out there quite a bit, that we shouldn't do these things.

They shouldn't come.

You know, right is right and wrong is wrong.

Well, screw them.

They've broken all the rules.

So we should, too.

No.

I don't like that vibe, but I do understand it i feel it sometimes oh i do too but i don't want to i don't want to live my life that way no i don't i want to be because then they're controlling your life yeah right like their actions are determining your becoming everything you despise no

but in the world and environment they created

let's just take a moment

a couple of seconds i mean it's not gonna hurt anybody yeah so uh pat thoughts on on kobe before we move on i just like a gut punch to me yesterday i really that that really threw me for a loop.

Did you feel that way, too?

Yeah, totally.

Everyone that I knew, the one exception, was really hit super hard with it.

In a way, it was just, and yes, Glenn is the exception because he's nothing.

No one

thinks it's maybe I'm not alone.

No, it's just you.

But I mean, look, I mean, I think there's a lot of really important things going on.

I mean, we are a week from Iowa.

We are in the middle of an impeachment hearing.

And this thing led every single newscast.

Yeah.

Completely.

Well, it's big and it's shocking.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, you don't expect.

He's young,

and it's a helicopter.

And God, his daughter, and one of the youngest basketball players of all time.

And he outlived Magic Johnson.

Which is insane.

I remember watching the first broadcast of him with the HIV diagnosis.

I mean, in my mind, and I was, you know,

teenager at the time, but he was dead in six months.

Yeah.

I mean, it was over.

And that's what everybody else is.

He outled lived Kobe Bryant.

Yeah.

Which, I mean, that is.

And is apparently completely healthy, at least.

I think he's HIV and AIDS-free.

Amazing.

Yeah.

It's really, it's truly a.

You never know what the hell to expect.

It really is.

Nothing anymore is

as it seems.

Just nothing.

You know, Clay Christensen died also this last weekend.

Do you know who he is?

Remind me.

A huge, huge business guy.

Wrote all kinds of really big business books,

was

at Harvard for a long time,

a game-changing,

game-changing individual.

And I knew him, and

such a kind, kind man.

And gone.

That's huge.

He really changed business

in his life and the way things are done nowadays.

A lot of that.

the really good ethical stuff is is really clay.

And he died this weekend.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Wow.

That's interesting, though, that's very Glenn to be

all the details of Clay Curtison, but not Kobe Bryant.

But not Kobe Bryant.

Having no idea basically who he is in any way.

I know who he was.

I know who he was.

I mean, I knew Kobe Bryant was with the Nakers.

But I had no emotional attachment.

Yeah,

that this stuff doesn't impact you, I think, the way it does other.

He's a really charismatic guy.

And

his life after basketball has been amazingly successful.

The guy's won Grammys and Oscars.

And, you know, he's been celebrated in the industry of movie making now in Hollywood for the last three years.

He's pretty amazing.

He's successful in just everything he does.

Let me just remind you that, you know, the Oscars and the Grammys,

so did Al Gore.

Yes,

and so now has Michelle Obama this weekend.

That's fair.

That's fair.

And when you say he's charismatic, very true.

I mean, he's no Adam Schiff.

When you talk about charisma, that's where I go as my number one example.

Have you heard?

Boy, we should watch him.

He should have 24-hour guard on him because.

The president threatened him this weekend.

Oh, yes.

And he was on Meet the Press.

He was very upset about it.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, don't say that.

No.

Don't say that.

The president tweeted that

he hasn't paid a price for what he's done to the country yet.

Oh, wow.

And he needs to.

And that meant he was going to kill him.

He was going to kill him.

With his bare hands.

He was going to kill him.

With his bare hands.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, it was the same thing with like the ambassador,

Yovanovich.

You know, did you hear that tape this weekend?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

That came out a year,

a year before she was

fired.

So look at the power of this guy when he says, I want somebody dead.

A year later, they're fired.

Amazing.

He didn't say, neither time did he say he wanted anybody dead.

Oh, no, but Adam Schiff is pretty clear.

I mean, I think Adam Schiff, we should really look into this.

He should be studied because I think he's a mind reader.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, look at all the stuff he knows.

Even though all

of the evidence and all of the people who actually were around the president said, no, that's, he wasn't trying to kill the ambassador.

Adam Schiff just knows.

Yeah.

he is really smart.

I'm intuitive.

He's Yuri Geller.

Have you been surprised?

And I get it, we should never be surprised by the media at this point.

But have you been surprised at how pathetic they have been in their praise of this guy when obviously what he's doing is not working?

Like the American people are not being won over by Adam Schiff.

The Republican senators, even the moderate ones who, you know, saved Obamacare, right?

Those senators are still like, yeah, this isn't really doing anything for me.

And then the media still comes on this man.

And his belief in the Constitution is something to be referred to.

I could vomit every time.

Did you guys watch the testimony on Saturday?

A little bit of it, but not.

I watched the whole thing, and it was stunning.

It was stunning.

You're talking about the president's case?

Yes.

Yeah.

And I'm following it.

I mean, we've been tracking everything.

There were things that came out on the testimony that Democrats didn't share.

Their thrust on Saturday, one of the main thrusts was,

let me tell you what is also in the testimony that they didn't tell you.

For instance, you know, they keep saying, he wanted a meeting.

He wanted a meeting.

He wanted a meeting.

And the president wouldn't give him a meeting.

Who denies a president a meeting?

And that was all, you know, tit for tat.

And,

well, as I think it was Seculo said,

are you aware that there was a meeting scheduled?

That, in fact, let me read the transcript.

And it shows those two talking on the phone.

And he's like, hey, let me know when you want to come to the White House.

We'll arrange that.

And he said, that would be really, really great.

We'd love to do that.

But you know what?

Let me look.

You know, I think, yeah, we are in Poland together.

It doesn't have to be at the White House.

Why don't we just meet in Poland?

And the president said, okay.

And it was scheduled.

And the reason why it didn't happen is because the president had to stay home because of a hurricane.

And it was fact after fact after fact like that.

You're like,

wait a minute.

And then as soon as it was over, the

Democrats were out on every news channel saying there was nothing new.

They didn't even address the facts.

Yes, yes, they did.

Yes, they did.

And in a pretty pretty incredible and concise way.

And I like the fact that they started with, we're not going to use anywhere near our 24 hours.

We don't need it.

We don't need it.

I find it interesting, too, that they said this whole thing about this tape that came out from Lev Parnas and

Furman about

talking about Yovanovich being fired.

Remember, this is 2018, the tape was made.

Remember a big part of the case from the Democrats, I hate to bring this up again, is is that Donald Trump didn't start caring about Ukraine until July of 2019 when he saw a Fox News poll that had him behind Biden.

The idea that

now they're releasing these tapes saying he's obsessed with Ukraine when they just made the public case that he didn't care about it at all until a year after this.

It's just, we just forget all those arguments.

We'll move on.

We'll act as if they didn't make them.

And we'll just ignore all of that and move on to this new argument with a new goalpost on the new field all over again today.

So here's the here's the thing that I that I honestly

thought.

First,

I don't care what you're doing,

when it comes on today at one o'clock, you should be watching it because this is different than what the Democrats were doing.

We know the case of the Democrats and they just kept going over and over and over for three days the same stuff.

The Republicans, at least on Saturday, did not.

And today is supposed to be a big and important day.

Today they're supposed to be revealing some real good.

And I thought it was really,

really good on Saturday.

But if nobody sees it, because I watched it and then I watched the reporting, and

you're going to walk away feeling the exact same way.

Your friends are going to walk away.

Whatever side you're on, you're going to remain there.

And you'll be kind of sketchy and whatever, but this is the president's defense.

And at least on Saturday, it was very compelling.

There were two Democrats, two Democrat senators who actually said as much, who actually said the Republicans made a pretty compelling case.

Yeah.

Manchin was one of them.

And

the other is the senator from Alabama.

What's his face?

I don't know.

Jones?

Yes.

Doug Jones.

Yeah.

Doug Doug Jones and Manchin both were pretty moved by what the Republicans had to say.

I'm telling you, I'm telling you,

it was really compelling.

You know, for instance,

what they did was, let's just tell you what they didn't tell you that's in the testimony.

We're going to present new evidence, but let's just go over what they didn't tell you.

And Jay kept asking, why wouldn't they tell you that?

Why wouldn't they tell you that?

If they're looking for the truth, why wouldn't they tell you that?

And why,

you know, in a prosecution, you tell the jurors those kinds of things, and then

you spin it your way.

You explain it away.

They didn't even tell you.

So what's their motivation there?

And it's things like,

you know, they keep saying that it was, you know, this aid was being withheld.

Let me show you.

Obama did it this many times.

Bush did it this many times.

Clinton did it this many times.

This is normal.

A president withholds aid if he thinks something is wrong.

And here's the president saying here, here, and here.

I don't want anything to do with Ukraine.

They're all corrupt.

How can we trust anyone

in Ukraine?

All of it.

And they say he didn't care about corruption.

I mean, it was a very compelling case.

Do not miss it today.

And we'll give you all of the video and everything else tonight at 5.

You'll get that from Saturday and some of the pieces today.

I have no idea how long it's going to last, but I don't think it's going to be lasting until midnight tonight.

Not with the Republicans.

We do have to talk about

John Bolton and what happened there coming up in just a second and also some of the polls and Iowa in just a second.

Our sponsor is Relief Factor.

You know, there are certain kinds of things that ibuprofen just doesn't touch.

And, you know, I mean, even with the almost heroin ibuprofen 800, I don't know how they get it.

They give that stuff out like it's candy.

When you have constant or even frequent pain, the inflammation in your body sometimes cannot be beaten with the usual suspects in medicine.

And I know what it's like from personal experience.

And I don't think I would be on the air today if it wasn't for Relief Factor because I was at the end of my rope and I was like, I can't do it anymore.

And I don't know what I would be doing.

but I don't think I would probably just be moaning all the time because I'm a baby.

Anyway,

Relief Factor has not only helped me, it has helped so many people in this audience.

Just try it for three weeks.

It's a trial pack.

It'll cost you $19.95, but 70% of the people who try it continue to order more.

It's been almost two years, and I have, I still take it three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Start taking Relief Factor and get your life back.

It's a natural and drug-free way to ease your pain and get your life back.

That's relief factor.com.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We need to talk a little bit about the John Bolton book that he has written.

You know, if you have something to say, John,

I don't think you need the money.

If you have something to say, say it without a book.

Say it without a paycheck.

That's why he wants to testify.

Yeah.

Because he doesn't want people to accuse him of that very thing.

And here you are doing it.

Right.

And

here is the publisher taking the uncorrected proof uh in the edit process and releasing it well they're they they're not saying they did that he's saying he gave it to the white house and someone at the white house leaked it why would somebody at the white house leak it i mean the only explanation would be that they someone in the white house who doesn't like donald trump all that much

which is certainly possible just

yeah um so we'll have more on that also iowa

big changes in iowa

It's such a failure.

This impeachment thing.

It really is remarkable.

It really is.

A cataclysmic disaster, honestly, on their side.

But I mean, you know, it's not a surprise.

They're going to try.

They're going to keep trying here.

It just doesn't seem to be working.

So,

I really want to talk about the coronavirus.

I was in church yesterday, and

everybody was coughing and sneezing and everything else because the flu is going around.

And I thought, if this becomes like it is in China,

nobody's going to go outside.

Nobody's going to go outside.

Nobody's going to go to church.

Nobody's going to go to gatherings.

You know, we haven't seen anything like this in decades, in absolute decades.

And if indeed it hits, and there's some disturbing news from a whistleblower in China

that we'll share with you next.

A nurse wearing a protective suit and face mask treating the sick in Wuhan, China has claimed now that 90,000 people have already been infected by the coronavirus in China.

Far more than the 1,900 people issued by the government of China.

What is the truth?

Where is it spreading?

And the details of what this nurse said in one minute.

Glenbeck program.

I believe it was last Thursday that there were

11 or 12 million people quarantined in China.

That is the size of Manhattan.

11 million people.

Today, that number in China is reported

at

50 million people have been quarantined.

50

million people.

I don't even know how you

shut that down.

How do you do that?

How do you shut 50 million people in?

Now, one of the good news is that people who are not sick are staying indoors because they are afraid that if they go out and mingle with anybody, they'll get sick as well.

And so it is shutting pretty much everything down.

And imagine, imagine if we had 50 million people here sick.

Imagine we had 10 million people here sick.

And it was really, really contagious.

And

it could spread.

And you didn't didn't know who it could kill.

Anybody with a weak immune system could die.

Would you leave your house?

There becomes a level where you're not leaving your house because one of the things that's unique about this particular thing is they're saying it's being spread before anyone's showing symptoms.

Right.

So you don't even know.

You may feel completely fine, not get it for four days, but in that four days,

you're showing, you're meeting all these people and you're passing it to all of them before you even know you have it.

And that's why it's spreading so fast.

And I mean, I don't think you could, you know, this, Glenn.

Could you even do this with what China's doing?

You could.

Here in the United States.

It wouldn't, you couldn't.

It just would not occur.

You can't cordon off New York City.

You could.

You could.

It would have to be a state of emergency.

A ridiculous one.

Yeah, it would have to be a national state of emergency.

American people,

if i don't even know if they would be able to to deal with that we had i we shouldn't

we shouldn't we we we should just be told stay at home just stay at home that's kind of what happened if you remember the boston bombing when that was going on right and people will

generally did respect that they just didn't even go out on the streets in the entire giant city

imagine what this right now price of gold is skyrocketing um

we have i'm trying to look for any indication on the

Dow, but the Dow was down about 500 points on the opening bell, and that's because of the coronavirus.

400 now, yeah.

I mean,

think about what is happening.

The economy would be

devastated.

It's being devastated now in China.

You can't leave.

Nobody's delivering anything to your house.

Jeez, do you even have, you know, the food?

So here's what this woman said.

She apparently is a nurse in Wuhan where this started.

She said, I'm in the area where the coronavirus started, and I'm here to tell you the truth.

At this moment, the Wuhan area.

And throughout China, 90,000 people have been infected with the coronavirus.

Now, we don't know

who she is.

We don't know her name, but she issued a warning in a social media video saying that she was working in the, I guess it's the Hubai province, which includes the Wuhan area.

She said, do not go outside

to avoid being infected with the virus.

She then said, please, please send more equipment to the cities.

President Xi has come out and said the country is facing a grave situation where the coronavirus is accelerating its spread.

She said, I would like to say that everyone who is currently watching this video, do not go outside.

Do not party.

Do not go eat out.

Once a year, we celebrate Chinese New Year.

If you are safe now, you'll be able to meet your family again healthy next year.

We don't care what the government says.

I will tell you the truth.

Please donate masks, glasses, and clothes to Wuhan.

Please help us.

Our current resources are not nearly enough.

Horrifying clips have also been posted online.

Shocked citizens

are seeing them, and then they're deleted shortly after.

The sick in China are sitting between drips and oxygen tanks next to three dead bodies covered with white sheets.

All of these things are being

All of these things are being deleted, but there is public dissent

at the

Hubai Providence.

The communists

have called for an immediate change of leadership in Wuhan.

The People's Daily State-owned paper posted a video from apparently a cured patient flashing the peace sign along with four medics.

How many do we have today in the United States?

How many cases do we have today?

Five.

Five known, right?

Yes, known.

We are apparently,

let's see, we're high alert.

Crisis is 63 people in 22 states

are suspected to have contracted

the coronavirus.

So we have five confirmed, but we have 63 today.

We had none on Thursday.

This spreads three times as fast and as easy as the flu does.

That's one of the big things a lot of the epidemiologists are worried about, and that it does seem to be incredibly contagious and spreading at ridiculous rates.

Now, those are initial estimates.

Those always change

on both sides, right?

Like, is this Chinese whistleblower correct and that there's 90,000 cases instead of what they're actually admitting?

Well, I was surprised that China would come out and be as open as they are.

And I thought, well, maybe they know,

you know, we need help and the world needs to be.

And the SARS thing went bad largely because they did not handle it well at the beginning.

So there's an argument to say, okay, we recognize what we did last time and we're going to fix that.

That doesn't sound very China.

It doesn't.

It doesn't sound very China.

You know, when they're putting some lead chips into our dog food, it doesn't sound like they really care that much.

But maybe they found a heart.

Maybe.

Maybe.

It's like the Grinch story.

Right.

You know,

it's two sizes too small.

I don't see President Z down in Whoville.

No.

No.

Even with that cute little dog.

Nope.

The big sled with all the presents.

Don't see it.

You don't think any of that's going to happen?

Nope.

Nope.

It doesn't feel like it would happen.

It doesn't.

But you're kind of holding out hope.

Now,

may I?

Well, let me use a Christmas word.

May I dash that hope just a bit?

Sure.

Okay.

A group of protesters lit a lobby of a newly built residential building on fire Sunday in Hong Kong.

Authorities have announced, oh my gosh, I got a cough.

Did you hear that cough?

Do you think it's a coronavirus?

Yes.

You know, I was sick with a coronavirus for a very, very long time.

Were you?

Yeah.

I'd have to call in sick.

I'd have too much corona.

And then I'd.

What's different?

It's a different virus, yes.

That's a hangover, is what you're talking about.

And I don't have an immune system to it.

Authorities had announced earlier in the day they plan to convert the Feiming Estate, an unoccupied public building, to temporary flats to quarantine people who have contracted the virus.

Okay.

All right.

I just want to say, if you have 1,900 cases in all of China,

think of this.

1,900 cases in all of China.

Why would they be taking this entirely new, brand new apartment high-rise and say, hey, we're going to dedicate this to all the people we need to quarantine in Hong Kong?

It doesn't seem

to fit.

Death toll of the outbreak hit 80 with 3,000 people infected worldwide.

So you're going to put everybody that has it there or suspected to have it into that?

We are dissatisfied with the government selecting this housing estate as a quarantine separation village as it is close to a residential area and a primary school.

Well, where else would you put that?

After the violent protest, the government said it would cease the related preparation work in the Feiming estate.

So now they'll just

put it someplace where nobody knows, which is always good.

Some have called for Hong Kong officials to block its border with mainland China to further minimize the risk of infection.

Reuters noted so far, authorities have only shuttered direct train and flight connections to and from Wuhan.

So don't worry.

Don't worry.

We have it in Chicago and in Seattle and in Houston.

But don't worry.

If you're, if you're, you know, just

if you're in the Wuhan airport, you can't fly.

But if you're,

if you're somewhere around Wuhan, you gotta do it.

I know know I have a condo there.

But it's just outside Wuhan.

You know,

I worked with the Department of Tourism for Wuhan.

Oh, really?

Yeah, and I had the Kodak rights.

I had all the film rights.

I negotiated them years ago.

And I really thought when Wuhan really hits,

I'll be the only place you can buy film.

Ah, digital stuff happened, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Very disappointing.

I mean, imagine taking all the pictures of the hospitals and what was really going on.

How much money I could have made on this crisis.

Probably a lot.

Probably a lot.

Unfortunately, now there seem to be cameras in every room

on every corner.

It's not like I never thought of that.

Yeah.

It's not like this would be hard to count the people that had it

because you're not looking for them.

No.

You know right where they are.

Oh, yeah.

All the time.

Yeah.

And you also know if they they are, if they're Googling temperature,

fever, sniffles,

you know, the black van comes to pick you up and take you to the new Fei Ming apartment complex.

They actually did that, by the way.

Google did this a while ago where they started running predictors of where the flu would

break out based on what people were Googling, right?

They're Googling temperature,

nausea, whatever it is.

You're telling me you don't think the Chinese government is doing that?

I mean,

we do it, apparently.

We do it because that way the CDC can be ready and we can get the flu treatment in the right areas, et cetera, et cetera.

And I'm sure the Chinese are the same.

Oh, yeah.

You know, they just treat it probably with gas.

You know?

Yeah.

Yeah, the different.

This is not really a drip system.

It's a little too slow.

We like to just inject it into you.

We just like to, you know, what a bullet is the fastest way to get this medicine right to your heart.

American Financing, NMLS, 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Hey, according to the property data firm CoreLogic, the standard mortgage payment is down nearly 3% since May of 2018.

And that's despite the rising home prices.

Wait a minute.

What?

So why are the rates so low?

Because of the competition, which is a direct byproduct of the rising economy.

It makes home ownership a lot more affordable, and that benefits everybody.

You see, socialists, capitalism really does work.

So if you're looking to get a loan for a home, now may well be the best time to do it.

But what happens if you already bought a home?

You bought one in 2018 or even earlier?

What about that percentage rate?

You thought you got a pretty good percentage rate then, right?

Well, maybe a refi is the way it would go for you.

Over the life of your loan, it will save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month, and it could end up putting a huge amount of money back into your pocket.

That's why you should call the people at American Financing because they have salary-based mortgage consultants that have been helping people just like you for over 20 years.

A 10-minute phone call could change your life.

It's American Financing.

hey I have a different theory on this coronavirus really yeah

I don't think corona had anything to do with it because that would be like remember the AIDS diet candy

I do remember the AIDS diet diet candy.

AIDS diet candy.

It was kind of a diet trend back in the, I believe, early 80s.

And it was A-Y-D-S.

Yes.

But it was one of those things that it had an unfortunate association with a different

spelling of everything.

A different spelling of everything.

But it was a weight loss

product called AIDS.

It didn't work out well for the company.

Okay.

I'm hoping that this doesn't affect Corona

as, you know, like one of those things where, like, oh, crap.

You couldn't have called it Budweiser.

You couldn't have called it something else.

Really?

It's unfortunate that it's the coronavirus.

The one that always hits me on this is the completely unfair treatment of Kool-Aid as it's associated

with the

Mattel Suicide.

It was always, did you drink the Kool-Aid?

They're drinking the Kool-Aid.

It was Flavor Aid.

It was a competitor of Kool-Aid that they drank in Jonestown.

A competitor, Flavorade.

A different brand.

It's like, you know, like

a scandal breaks out with Coca-Cola, and they just call it the Pepsi breakout.

It's like legitimately, they are two competitors.

Right.

And it's like, and Pepsi's like, wait a minute,

what are you talking about?

No, that's not happened with Kool-Aid.

So everyone ever says you drink the Kool-Aid, say, no, it was Flavor Aid.

Say angrily and loudly.

For some reason, that really isn't.

And there was a candy.

It was a diet candy.

It had a Y in it, not an I.

It worked, I swear.

Give me a Corona.

You're pissing me off.

Okay, so

I don't think it's Corona.

However,

is this thing just...

Is this just hype for the new Netflix outbreak series?

Is that it?

Yeah.

I think it, I mean, wait a minute.

Wait, yeah.

This whole thing, because they've got, everyone's going to want to watch an outbreak.

They're all going to be inside because they're freaked out because of the coronavirus.

Right.

They're going to be watching Nebula.

Let me watch something on a pandemic.

Right?

That's right.

They just came out with it.

Coincidental

timing.

And what Chinese person is like,

let's call it a coronavirus.

However, how many people at Netflix sitting there in California is like, I don't know,

they look down, see, let's call it a coronavirus.

This whole thing just may be a marketing ploy.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Well, there's more.

There's more to this.

There's another layer here.

Call Adam Schiff right away.

Right away.

Impeach somebody over.

Because you've got the outbreak series on Netflix.

Yes.

And you're like, oh my gosh, there's a pandemic.

There's nothing we can do.

We can't cure it.

Wait a minute.

There's a new Gwyneth Paltrow series also on Netflix

about goop and how you can treat all sorts of diseases with candles that smell like parts of Goopro.

I need a marble egg up my

and that'll cure it or

whatever.

Whatever she's selling.

This is the weirdest.

I can't even bring myself to watch that

documentary or whatever it is.

Right.

Because it's so disturbing.

What I love about it, though, is how we're getting this Gwyneth Paltrow-style science from the same crew that pitches us scientific consensus every day and how we're Holocaust deniers.

If we don't think we can spend $50 trillion on whatever Greta Thunberg says today, that same group is telling us, oh, go to goop.com to heal all of your ailments.

That is what they're pitching that to us.

Netflix is going to give us a giant series on how Gwyneth Paltrow is going to cure cancer with some herb.

and we're the ones who are uh don't understand scientific consensus and

and it's deeper than this or possibly more shallow

who

who thinks

that a

candle that smells like her nether regions

Anybody's nether regions is a candle that people will want to buy or even just even pick up the box and smell.

No, I don't.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

I don't know what's happening, but I really do believe that we are in a parallel universe because there's no way anyone wants to buy that candle.

And I think they all sold out, didn't they?

Probably.

She can make more.

Don't ask how.

All right.

When somebody looks over your shoulder at your phone to see what you're doing, it's not irritating.

It's obvious.

And you're like, dude, what are you doing?

But that's somebody standing behind you.

Cyber criminals are doing exactly the same thing, and you don't see them.

News came out the other day.

A major software company had an unprotected database.

It contained customer emails, IP addresses.

For the last 14 years, over 250 million names were exposed during that time with all of their information.

That is a cyber criminal's dream.

And that is today's segment in that order.

Good people,

bad people,

dumb people.

Okay?

This comes for the good people.

This actually comes from New York City, which I

we have all 12 of the good people in New York City right here.

They all happen to be at Delancey and Norfolk in the Lower East Side on Saturday.

A woman named Colby Droscher

posted this video over the weekend, and

it's pretty amazing.

She was about a block away, and she heard impact and screams.

And when you're in New York, you run towards the screams, not away from the screams.

That's the sign of a tourist.

tourist run from the screams.

What she found is she got there was this huge crowd around

and

an SUV had hit a pedestrian and trapped her underneath the car.

And she couldn't get out and she was wedged there.

And so what did the New Yorkers do?

Remember, this is the good people section.

The good people of New York.

They didn't wait

about 12 of them all got together and lifted the suv and tilted it up and uh and a few others then dragged her out and set her free that's incredible it's a nuts because you would think that they would have you know for kicks just rolled over rolled over her with another car

um maybe

because i would have i would assume that story with that beginning ends in a in a in the bad person

or dumb people part of the, of the segment.

But no, good people.

No, good people.

There you go.

Now, is the good person the person who hit the pedestrian?

You didn't know.

You didn't highlight that person.

You're just ignoring that person.

I'm ignoring that person.

Could have been a mistake.

Could have been a mistake.

How many of us have dragged somebody

a block and a half under our car before we realized?

Did you want to answer that for yourself?

Now we get to bad people.

Google took it off YouTube.

So I contacted Facebook,

said bad person.

Bad person was referring to a heavily edited video posted on Facebook in 2019 that appears to show Nancy Pelosi slurring her words at a press conference.

Remember this?

Yes.

Bad person said, why are you guys keeping this up?

It's blatantly false.

She was talking about the Facebook decision to keep the video on the platform while suppressing its spread.

Your competitors have taken it down.

Bad person responded and continued saying

Their response?

We think our users can make up their own minds.

Oh my gosh.

The Pelosi video, which is also uh often called a cheap fake, was slowed down and designed to make Pelosi sound and look drunk.

YouTube removed the video, but Facebook and Twitter left it up.

Members of the media joined lawmakers shortly thereafter condemning Facebook for leaving up that video, which they said uh could alter the public's perception of Pelosi.

It's a huge worry.

Right, right.

Pundits cried foul after Facebook argued its adherence to free speech prevented the company from removing the video.

Bette Medler, Alyssa Milano, also bad people, but not the bad person we're talking about here and other several celebrities complained after Facebook executive Monica Bickert told CNN in May 2019 that the company determined dinging the video was the wrong move.

Bad person said for her part,

the tech giants' endgame is much more sinister.

Facebook is not going to just re-elect Trump, but it intends to re-elect Trump, Bad Person told The Atlantic.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, Zuckerberg, huge Trump guy.

Right.

Right.

Right.

He's with me on that.

So, Bad Person continued to suggest that Zuckerberg's views on Facebook's role in society and American politics is Trumpian and authoritarian.

Bad person is not the only person to express concerns about Zuckerberg's supposed intentions.

Also, equally known bad person, billionaire financier George Soros and Elizabeth Warren also say that Facebook and Trump are in cahoots.

Clear.

Bad person said there's kind of an informal mutual assistance operation between Trump and Zuckerberg.

Yeah.

Bad person?

Hillary Clinton.

Ah, what a surprise.

What a surprise.

By the way, Glenn, I should point out, I did post a video about Nancy Pelosi myself this past weekend.

You did.

And

it was for a Nancy Pelosi commemorative pen.

If you remember when she signed

the

impeachment, she did it with all these fancy pens with her signature on the side.

So we were like, it would be great to have a replica pen so that people could celebrate that moment.

Oh.

You know, it's really important.

They can remember what happened with the impeachment, this historic moment.

Now, we don't have the rights to the actual pen.

We had to slightly adjust it.

And that's why it has to be.

Did you make it?

Did Goop make it?

Does it smell like your vision?

It does not.

Thankfully, I didn't think of that detail before we made it.

We were just saying, Gwyneth Paltrow and those candles.

I just thought maybe you were just...

The worst thing I've ever thought of in my life, but thank you for

that.

So we made this commercial for the pen, and it said, just like Nancy Pelosi's signatures, it's black with the gold signatures.

It's Nancy Pelosi.

We had to adjust it a little bit.

So it just says in the same font, Nancy Pelosi sucks.

No, I was worried about this exact same problem because people would say that's not even a real thing.

You're putting up some fake Nancy Pelosi video, and they might bring it down.

That's why we actually decided to make the pens and put them actually for sale.

So if you go

to Nancy PelosiSuckspen.com,

you can buy the actual commemorative item.

You need one.

That says

the black with the gold.

it looks just like it, except it says

if you're if you're a noted collector, yes, you'll be able to tell the difference that it says Nancy Pelosi sucks instead of just Nancy Pelosi.

That's the only difference you can detect on here.

I love that.

Nancy Pelosi sucks going.com.

Every single response is like, oh, this would be amazing if it's real.

I don't know why they allowed me to do it, but it's real.

Nancy Pelosi SucksPen.com.

Let me give you now dumb people.

A bank robber went in and was threatening the banking staff with a meat cleaver.

He actually left the branch with nearly two thousand dollars.

Uh he was he was

he was arrested

because he, well,

he brought the meat cleaver in his disguise.

And then when he took the meat cleaver out, he put the disguise on.

And it doesn't stop there.

Not only did he walk into the bank, not wearing the disguise,

but carrying

his disguise with a meat cleaver in it.

And then when he got to the teller, he took the meat cleaver out, and then he put on the disguise.

The disguise was a pillowcase.

Okay.

Okay.

Now, here's the

additional trouble with this.

He forgot to cut any eye holes in the pillowcase.

So this is not well thought out, this process.

So he is in the bank talking to the teller with a pillowcase, and there's no way for him to see what's going on.

It didn't take police

long to find him

with the cash and the pillowcase.

with

money that was consistent with the money from the bank.

Wow.

I love the way they worded that.

The money consistent with the money from the bank.

He's got a pillowcase, a meat cleaver.

You got him on picture.

I think he's probably the guy.

All right.

From coast to coast and border to border, here in America, there is a different spirit, and it is the spirit of the West.

It's the spirit of the cowboy.

Not everybody has it.

Some do.

Entrepreneurs have it.

People who chart their own course have it.

People who actually are cowboys, they have it.

It's the currency of hard work, spit polish, honesty, all the things that really have been devalued.

But Americans still appreciate that spirit.

It's the can-do

to the world's won't do, really.

It's what causes us to seek our own new frontiers.

Did you jab this into their chest?

Yeah, no.

Well,

it's not a terrible.

It's a terrible thing to say.

It's a terrible thing to say.

And of course.

No, you just put that in their collection of pens so that one day they take it out and they look at it and it says so you do it covertly.

They don't

and they're like,

How the hell did this pen get in here?

That's and oh no.

I can see why you would put the limit of 5,000.

I'm worried about it because people were going to run out

5,000 per order.

And everyone's, every single comment, oh, this would be fantastic.

One person's like, if you actually were selling these, you'd be funding the Blaze for five years.

I was like, baby, we are selling them.

yeah nancy pelosi sucks pens uh and nancy so nancy pelosi suckspen.com is the address

you're listening to glenn back

Every night, local police departments across America receive hundreds of calls from from burglar alarms.

Anxious to talk to Steve Dace.

We are one week away from the Iowa primary, and it's very volatile.

I mean, it's the polls, there's one poll that shows Sanders leading Biden by nine.

Another one has Biden up by six in Iowa.

Obviously.

And what's weird is it looks like Warren is really biting the dust.

And that's actually bad for Biden because those Warren people are not going to go to Biden.

They're going to go to Sanders probably and in a caucus environment.

We have to ask Steve about this.

And I'd like to see Buddha Judge.

I bet you Biden supporters go to Buddha Judge as well.

Or they're one way or the other.

Yeah.

It could be that they see the Buddha Judge people might go over to Biden.

But they also might go to Sanders or to Warren.

And I mean,

it's freaking confusing.

That's why we have Steve Dace here.

Yeah.

Steve is in Iowa.

He's lived in Iowa most of his life, if not all of his life.

He's been part of this caucus process for a decade at least

and can really give us all of the information he's next to.

I think he's been doing it for several, hasn't he?

All right, the Iowa caucus is a week from today.

There's so much going on.

Impeachment

today, the Republicans continue the defense.

Today is supposed to be a big, big day.

I urge you, if you missed it on Saturday, it's jaw-dropping the way the president's attorneys are handling this.

I think it's really, really good.

Today is supposed to be knockout of the park.

We have that going on.

That may or may not end

by next week.

The Iowa caucuses are on Monday.

The State of the Union is on Tuesday.

There's quite a bit to address, including the very

volatile numbers coming out of Iowa, where now one poll has Sanders up by nine points.

What's really going on?

A guy who really knows, been involved in Iowa politics in the caucus, and been reporting on it for a long time, Steve Dace from Blaze Media and Blaze TV.

He is up

in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Steve Dace in Iowa.

Steve, you've lived in Iowa your whole life, right?

I was born here.

I've lived here most of my life, off and on.

Except all over the country.

Except for that prison,

that time in prison?

Except we agreed we weren't going to detect it.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Didn't mean to push it too far.

And how many years have you been involved in the Iowa caucus process?

Since 1996,

when I was originally caucusing for Phil Graham, so over 20 years.

Wow, Phil Graham, a blast from the past.

Okay,

so tell me what is different this time,

because it looks very volatile.

And this week, now Sanders in one poll is leading Biden by nine points.

What's happened is

there's no

establishment, whatever the Democratic establishment is, and if you've been watching the fundraising in their party where their candidates are raising ginormous amounts, but no one is giving to the National Party after what it did in 2016.

We're not really sure what the Democratic establishment is anymore.

And I think that's why you're not seeing a whole bunch of people rush out to denounce Jeremy Corbyn.

I'm sorry, Bernie Sanders,

the way they did Donald Trump on the right four years ago, because I think they're trying to figure out, hey, if we come out and denounce him, that's why we want Obama to do it.

His career is over.

If we come out and denounce him, he might be the new establishment.

This may be a reshuffling of the deck chairs here.

And so we're going to kind of wait and see what the first couple of states tell us.

And so I think that's the issue.

There's no Mitt Romney.

There's no Hillary Clinton.

There's no established polished candidate.

Joe Biden was weighed, measured, and found wanting.

And I think that has now left this to a grassroots kind of free-for-all.

So you do think that Joe Biden,

the shine is off in Iowa?

No, I think the shine's off everywhere.

I mean, if you look at his early state polling, except for South Carolina, I mean, the national polling, we've talked about this before, it's irrelevant.

Except for South Carolina, largely based on black voters who don't watch cable news.

I know there's so much race baiting on CNN and MSNBC, but it's almost all white, woke people watching that.

Like Don Lemon doesn't have a black audience, for example.

Okay, so

they're not even really fully engaged in South Carolina yet, and they're going to react to the sifting that's gone on here in Iowa and New Hampshire.

That's what we always see.

So I think that's still up for grabs as well.

And so I think what you, and I think, you know, Joe Biden putting out statements about trans civil rights, and he's grasping now.

You know, I used to say when I was a professional football analyst, when your team believes the game plan has failed, they just start trying things.

You know, you're just, well, let's try a run here, a pass here, a draw there, a play action there, and see if we can get something to click because we're at a loss for why nothing we had game planned for is working.

And I think Joe Biden,

at least in terms of Iowa, New Hampshire, which is all that matters right now, he's at the trying things stage.

So how is this going to break down?

Biden's in a caucus, most Americans don't even understand how a caucus works.

Can you explain that and then a follow-up question?

Sure.

They're all little mini conventions.

So there's rules of order, there's orders of business, there's delegate

appointment.

It just depends on what all is on the agenda.

You know, on the Republican side, because a lot of those people are in private industry, they try to get in and out as fast as they can, and the process can still take an hour.

On the Democratic side, though, everyone's got a kvetch.

So grab a Snickers.

You're going to to be here for a while.

Okay.

And they're going to handle all of their business.

And this year it's different in that when they're gaveled in, when you come into the caucus and have your name checked, and yes, you do have to verify that you are you.

So apparently it's not racist when the Democrats do it to themselves.

When you do that, this year is different because of what happened in 2016, where Bernie Sanders won the popular vote, but Hillary Clinton won Iowa's Electoral College with the delegates.

They're now making it so that you have to declare who you're for when you come in.

This has never happened before.

Usually there's been like a straw poll first to kind of figure out who the candidates are.

They're going to fall by the wayside.

You're now going to declare when you come in.

That's a huge advantage to somebody like Bernie Sanders because when you declare for him, I mean,

the Soviets there are going to make sure that you follow through.

There's one candidate in this race that knows right now.

that he's not coming out of the room in Iowa with fewer votes than he had going in.

And the only candidate I think that can say that is Bernie Sanders.

So what we're going to decide this last week, guys, is what is his ceiling?

And you're going to see a lot of things thrown at him to try to mitigate his ceiling.

And I do believe he has a ceiling.

Because if he hadn't had such a high name ID candidate, he would have been leading this race the whole time.

He does have a ceiling.

The problem is you can't replace nothing with nothing.

Somebody has to replace that.

Somebody has to be the place where everybody that thinks this guy is another Jeremy Corbin and he can't win, where they believe they can settle on who that that is.

And we're sitting here one week from Iowa after a year-long

campaign, and they still don't know who that is.

Okay.

That's why I said that it's Bernie Sanders.

So when you say Bernie Sanders has a ceiling, does that include any of the voters from Elizabeth Warren?

Because they seem to be...

You know, I wanted Warren, but she's not out or she's not going to make it, so I'm going to throw it to Sanders.

Does she lose

members to Sanders in the end in Iowa?

Yes.

And I think you're already seeing that's reflected.

We've had, there have been symbiotic relationships, and we've talked about these lanes before.

Butigic and Biden are in a lane because that's the lane Buttigigic chose.

And then you have Sanders and Warren are in a lane.

And they've had, and symbiotic, when one is up, the other is down.

When one is down, the other is up.

And now I think you have seen that the stunt that her and CNN orchestrated, I do believe they orchestrated it the last debate with the hot mics and stuff, it's blown up in her face and hasn't really helped her at all.

And so he seems to do well with calamity.

Like his numbers rose after a heart attack.

His numbers rose after getting embarrassed by Elizabeth Warren.

It's a damnably weird thing, but the numbers are what they are.

And so she's now in danger of, you can have people who are just now at the point where, I just want to vote for a woman, where you could see them now say, maybe Bernie Sanders has drained all of her support that they were tethered together.

He could drain.

And maybe some of that now starts to go to an Amy Klobuchar because we might get down to, I just want to be able to vote for a woman in the room.

It's the time of the woman.

And I think that's what the Des Moines Register endorsement was about, to try to throw one more lifeline to Elizabeth Warren.

It's always a good idea to vote based on people's

gender.

That's always a great idea.

Especially when it's fluid.

Yeah, exactly.

I was interested.

I wanted to ask you about Klobuchar because here she is.

She has kind of been the fifth candidate in this race for a long time.

She has, her polls are coming up.

The latest Emerson poll that came out today has her at 13% in Iowa ahead of both Budijej and Warren.

She seems to be making a late, last-minute sort of run.

We've seen these things happen in Iowa before on the Republican side with Santorum.

You know, it's happened.

What do you think her chances are?

I think it's possible she could finish in the top three and survive as viable beyond here.

I don't believe she can get a percentage that would win.

You mentioned Santorum, and that's a good analogy.

If you remember, that campaign was the flavor of the month, and Rick never had his turn, and it got down to the end.

He never really had an impressive, galvanizing moment, but it got down to the end.

And if you were a conservative that didn't want Mitt Romney as your nominee, he was the last one left.

that hadn't been branded or tarnished in some way.

She's running great ads right now, and they're very likable.

They're very, I can get things done.

Hey, let's be adults.

At some point, you know, we have to win an election once we're done, you know, checking our woke credentials.

She should have started doing this about two months ago.

If she had started doing this in the fall and built her

name ID high enough, particularly as Warren and Sanders got,

you know, really handsy, I think she could have, and Biden began to implode with his appearances.

I think she could have really been a viable threat here.

She was too timid, waited too long to make her move

and choose her lane as the adult in the room.

But the fact that she can still get a late rise here into a respectable finish is indicative of how weak the we just got to win the election lane has become for the Democrats.

All right.

We pause for 10-second station ID.

So, how did, with Bernie Bernie gone for the last few days, how is AOC

doing?

And did you see much of

the

Soviet show that they were really putting on for Bernie?

No.

And I think that

that's great

for us from a clickbait perspective, and it's going to be very harmful in a general election.

But right now, the biggest issue is every Bernie Sanders is a defined entity, Glenn.

I mean, this idea now that we're going to get all this OPPO research dump on him from the left and it's going to hurt him with

leftists,

it's desperation time.

It's fouling at the end of a basketball game when you're down by 10 to prolong it, but you've already lost.

What they've got to figure out, they've got to come up with an alternative to him.

That's the argument.

That's the debate.

They have to have an affirmative alternative to him.

And focusing on him doesn't find them that affirmative alternative.

And here's something to keep in mind.

I mean, there was a Boston Globe poll out yesterday that had him way ahead

in New Hampshire.

No one that has ever won both Iowa and New Hampshire has failed to win their party's nomination ever in either the Republican or Democratic parties.

So Bernie Sanders, you can, okay, you take him from 30 to 25.

Who's your candidate that's going to get 26?

They haven't figured that out yet.

Now, Buddha Judge, I thought, shot himself in the foot this weekend with his response to a question from a Democratic voter.

In fact, can we play this?

Woman stood up and said, look, I'm a Democrat, but I don't seem to belong anymore.

Listen to this.

The Democratic platform contains language that basically says that we don't belong.

We have no part in the party because it says abortion should be legal up to nine months.

The government should pay for it.

And there's nothing that says that people have a diversity of views on this issue should be included in the party.

In 1996, and several years after that, there was a language in the Democratic platform that said that we understand that people have very differing views on this issue, but we are a big tent party that includes everybody.

And so, therefore, we welcome you, people like me, into the party, so we can work on issues that we agree on.

So, my question was: Would you be open to language like that in the Democratic platform that really did say that our party is diverse and inclusive, and we want everybody.

Well, I support the position of my party that this kind of medical care needs to be available to everyone.

And I support the Roe versus Wade framework that holds that early in pregnancy there are very few restrictions and late in pregnancy there are very few exceptions.

And again, the best I can offer is that we may disagree on that very important issue and hopefully we will be able to partner on other issues.

That wasn't an answer to the question at all, and he got hammered for it.

Are there a lot of Democrats in Iowa that are in her situation?

No,

there's not a lot of Democrats like this.

Well, there's not a lot of white Democrats in her situation, really anywhere in the country.

Most of those people have either already become independents or Democrats because they got this message 10 years ago that this is the direction their party was going to go.

But where it does hurt him is his entire calculus.

Can we just be blunt?

Not that we haven't already.

He has no qualifications to be president other than how he has sex.

He's a unique special interest group.

He qualifies as blunt.

Yeah, that is.

Okay, you nailed it.

It was blunt.

If a straight individual that was mayor of Cedar Rapids, a town, Iowa, a town of 100,000, was running for president, would they have lasted this long?

Would they have been taken straight of any ethnicity, any color?

No, of course not.

And so that's his whole M.O.

He's really politically inexperienced.

He has no resume, no other reason to support him other than you just want to check that intersectionality box.

And he's run a very clever campaign where he doesn't highlight that really at all and tries to highlight his military service.

And I am a centrist.

Well, if you're going to run as I am a centrist, I'm going to run in Joe Biden's lane.

And then in the last debate, you get caught lying about, well, yeah, it's Medicare for all.

We can't have stragglers.

And then you turn around to national TV and say stuff or turn around in a forum and say stuff like that that goes on national social media.

It shows that he's the the thin, narrow road, pardon the pun, that he has tried to carve out here for himself is an untravelable pass.

And it was only going to be a matter of time before it was going to be exposed.

He's undermined his own argument that I'm the person that can reach people we traditionally cannot get to build our coalition.

No, we can't.

Okay, so there is a new New York Times Sienna College poll.

of likely caucus goers, and it shows Buddha Judge beating Biden by one point.

I think it's possible Joe Biden could finish second and I think it's possible he could finish fifth I think that's very fluid I don't think there's any scenario barring he's alive on February 3rd Bernie Sanders is not in the top three in Iowa any scenario and then after that I don't know what happens after that I think Joe Biden could finish second to fifth I think Elizabeth Warren could finish still in the top three and then finish sixth.

I think Amy Klobuchar could get in the single digits and finish third.

The rest of this is very fluid because they haven't figured out is who is the more polished candidate that can win those suburban ex-urban voters that they took away from Trump in 2018 when it was a blind taste test and they didn't have to put a candidate opposite him, but you could just check yes or no and what you thought of Trump.

There was a 14-point swing.

That's the whole election, guys.

Trump overperformed suburban and ex-urban voters in 2016 from even the Republican Party's data and won those women by five points.

In 2018, he lost them by nine.

That 14-point swing is the whole election.

And the Democrats are struggling to figure out who is a candidate that won't scare those voters off so they'll just vote against Donald Trump and for us like they did in the 2018 midterms.

How's the impeachment working in Iowa for the regular person?

It's irrelevant.

I mean, there's an Associated Press story out today that says people don't care.

It's funny.

A lot of these networks now are running stories about how people in these early states don't care, and then they just go back to wall-to-wall impeachment.

Nobody knows what a John Bolton is.

Nobody cares.

Nobody can spot Ukraine on a map.

All right.

No one cares.

All right.

And so it's just not relevant.

And this whole exercise has also limited their ability.

It's no coincidence, gentlemen.

that when this went on the front burner, that's also when Bernie's numbers went up.

Why?

Because he's the only candidate that knows his supporters are the freaking Postal Service.

Come rain, come snow, come sleet, come shine.

They're there.

It doesn't matter.

All right.

I mean,

Jesus is going to have to open the 47th seal for Bernie Sanders voters not to show.

And he's the only candidate that has that kind of support while the rest of them are now distracted.

Steve Dace, thank you.

Great analysis coming out of Iowa from Steve Dace.

The caucus is next Monday.

If you've never been to a caucus, it is a wild, wild ride.

It's nothing like you've experienced in any other state.

And we will be all over it next Monday with Steve Days.

This is the Glembeck program.

You know, I always love it when

the doctor looks at you and says, you're in a lot of pain.

Yes.

All right.

I don't usually prescribe this, but

can you handle ibuprofen 800?

Yeah, Doc.

Every day.

Every day.

Don't prescribe that.

I can just take the pills.

I can just take, you know, for ibuprofen.

I got that down.

And that is, you know, a miracle for some things, not so much a miracle for others.

It does help to reduce inflammation, but sometimes it's so bad that it just, you have to have, you know, you have to have the knockout.

Now, here's the knockout.

It's not a drug.

It's completely drug-free.

It's completely natural.

And it is called Relief Factor.

It reduces inflammation, but ibuprofen never works for me.

This actually got me out of serious pain.

Hello and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I remember the days of podcasts when it was dominated by by things like NPR.

For news and commentary, it was all just left-wing everything.

I want to thank you so much for sticking with us and being with us and supporting us in our efforts at Blaze TV.

Just looking at the podcasts

We're trying to put out a really good product, and I think we do every day.

And,

you know, we appreciate your support.

It's nice to be in battle with you.

So thank you for that.

Stu, what haven't we covered?

Today we're going to cover at 5 o'clock the impeachment from Saturday.

I watched the whole thing on Saturday, and

I thought it was outstanding.

Yeah, it's interesting because it didn't get a lot of play.

We do have some audio from it, if you'd like.

This is, do we have this clip?

Mike pulled this this morning, Sarah, about withholding aid.

How common is that?

Because we're told that that is like, you can't withhold aid.

The president,

you know, he was quid pro quo.

He was withholding aid.

That's the worst thing you could possibly do.

Listen.

So the made-up narrative that security assistance was conditioned on Ukraine taking some action on investigations is further disproved by the straightforward fact that the aid was delivered on September 11, 2019 without Ukraine taking any action on any investigation.

It's interesting to note that the Obama administration withheld $585 million of promised aid to Egypt in 2013.

But the administration's public message was that the money was not officially on hold, as technically it was not due until September 30th,

the end of the fiscal year so they didn't have to disclose the halt to anyone

sounds like this may be a practice of a number of administrations

in fact to the president

this president has been concerned about how aid is being put forward

So there have been pauses on foreign aid in a variety of contexts.

In September of 2019, the administration announced that it was withholding over $100 million in aid to Afghanistan over concerns about government corruption.

In August of 2019, President Trump announced that the administration and Seoul were in talks to substantially increase

South Korea's share of the expense of U.S.

military support for South Korea.

In June, President Trump caught cut or paused over $550 million

in foreign aid to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala because those countries were not fairly sharing the burdens of preventing mass migration to the United States.

This is not the only administration.

As I said, President Obama withheld hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to Egypt.

To be clear,

and I want to be clear.

Ambassador Jovanovich herself testified that our policy actually got stronger under President Trump,

largely because, unlike unlike the Obama administration, quote, this administration made the decision to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine to help Ukraine fend off Russian aggression.

She testified in a deposition before your various committees that, and actually, I felt that in the three years that I was there, partly because of my efforts, but also the interagency team and President Trump's decision to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine, that our policy actually got stronger.

Deputy Assistant Secretary Kent, whose name's come up a couple of times, agreed that javelins are incredibly effective weapons at stopping armored advance, and the Russians are scared of them.

Ambassador Volcker explained that President Trump approved each of the decisions made along the way, and as a result, America's policy towards Ukraine strengthened.

So, when we want to talk about facts,

go to your own discovery

and your own witnesses that you called.

This all supposedly started because of a whistleblower.

Where is that whistleblower?

I thought that was incredibly effective.

And

the entire process, it lasted, I think, three hours on Saturday from start to finish.

And I thought the entire process was that good all the way way along.

These are the facts that you haven't heard before.

I mean, there was nothing new to learn.

I tried to watch it last week, but there was nothing new all last week.

And they just kept repeating it over and over and over again.

And it was like,

what are you doing?

These guys stood up and said, we're not going to take 24 hours.

We don't need 24 hours.

We're going to give you three hours today.

We're going to come back on Monday, and then we'll come back on Tuesday, and we'll be done.

Because

there's not 24 hours worth of stuff to go over they don't have a case I agree I think too there is a

there's a problem here in that

the argument was set up I think in such a faulty way at the beginning with this idea that there's no quid pro quo and you know that's basically the entire argument I think

if you just look at this case in the way it's supposed to be which they outline here that we do have quid pro quos when we're throwing hundreds of millions of dollars to other countries.

Yeah, they got to do stuff for us.

Those things need to be done.

They need to be maybe not wasting all the money.

They don't need, it doesn't go to terrorists.

You know, it doesn't, there's a million different restrictions that are put on foreign policy all the time.

And for whatever reason, you know, both the White House and many on the Republican side fell into this trap of setting an incredibly low hurdle for Democrats to clear, just that there was a quid pro quo.

Well, there should be a quid pro quo.

That's what you, when you're throwing all of that.

All of capitalism is a quid pro quo.

Exactly.

You know, it's just not, I think the way the White House is interpreted, because this is the way it was interpreted by the defense, or I mean, by the prosecution, and you don't let them define terms.

But I think they let the prosecution define quid pro quo as

bribery.

or something nefarious, where instead, no, I'm not giving Afghanistan the money because they've got a problem with corruption.

Clean it up.

No, I'm not giving that country because they're not helping out on what they're supposed to be doing for NATO.

Clear it up.

That's normal procedure.

But remember, they were equating it with bribery.

And I think that's the only explanation I can come up with with why the defense was saying no quid pro quo.

They were using it in a way of bribery.

Yeah, and I think this happens from time to to time.

You know, you don't want to give any ground to the left because they will take it and they will burn you on it and it never helps.

And that's an understandable instinct.

But I think more importantly is defending the right ground and making sure that, like, this is where I stand.

Be proud of the fact that you had to quit pro quo and held back money because you thought they were corrupt.

That's a totally legitimate point and a totally legitimate position for a White House to take.

And the fact that it's been done before really supports that because we, of course, are going to do those things.

Instead, we wind up going, look, well, we never, you know, look, we didn't know anything about this ambassador.

Well, I mean, you know, again, like these are such low bars to clear.

Now you have, you know, people talking on tape.

You know, I don't know who Lev Parness is or whatever.

Well, you had dinner with him all these times, or at least this one lengthy time, and it's on tape.

And it's like, well, instead of

giving absolutely no ground,

and just trying to defend every single position that it's a perfect call, for example, if you instead step back and say, look, what we're doing, here's the overall thing we're doing, and this is the right thing to be doing because this is in the national interest of this country.

If that were the argument from the beginning, none of these points could even be made

because every piece of evidence backs up that we were acting in that fashion, with the exception of if you just don't believe Donald Trump ever acts in the American interest.

And if you're that person, well, you're in that 40% of Democrats who believe that, and you're never going to win any of those people over.

But anyone in the middle, and I don't think this is working on the Democrat side, but anyone who's in the middle or an undecided voter, an independent voter, I think looks at this and says, wait a minute, that makes sense.

If we're going to dump $400 million to Ukraine, shouldn't we make sure they're not just wasting it or giving it to corrupt officials or it's going into Joe Biden's son's pocket?

This is the feeling that I got on

Saturday: that if I were sitting there in in the Senate,

I would have said, well, all that makes sense.

And how come the Democrats never told me any of this?

You know?

Yeah.

Their case was taken apart because

the Trump team didn't introduce anything new.

They just took pieces of the testimony.

that was never reported, never brought up, not in the press, and not in the impeachment setup from the prosecution.

So

if you're sitting there, you feel as though the Democrats lied to you, and they did.

They left a lot of

exonerating evidence out completely and didn't explain it away.

If you have exonerating evidence, you have to, when you first step up and make your case and say, they're going to say this.

Well, that's not what the Democrat or the Republicans said.

They didn't stand up and say what Schiff said.

They just went back to the evidence and said, I want you to see here, here, and here, how come they left this out?

Why didn't they tell you about this?

Because this really changes everything, doesn't it?

And I think it's critical that Americans,

especially if you are looking for the truth and the part of the impeachment that you have not heard before,

you you need to listen to this today.

Now, we're going to give you the recap at 5 o'clock of what happened this weekend and some of the early stuff from what's happening today.

But it starts at 1 o'clock, and you can find it wherever you can grab it.

I mean, White HouseGov or C-SPAN or wherever.

But grab it and watch it.

If you miss it or you need it to be distilled, make sure you grab my show tonight and all this week until this is over at 5 p.m.

We'll give you the complete rundown.

In about 22 minutes, you'll have everything you need.

So,

you know how he said gold is a hedge against inflation?

And I believe that.

It is something that it's a hedge against inflation, but it's also a hedge against insanity.

So, the world has gone insane, and more trouble is expected around the corner.

The Dow is down, but it was earlier this morning, about 400 points.

Why is that?

Well, this is because of the coronavirus.

But there's something else.

When stocks go down and people become afraid, gold goes up.

Gold is up now since last week because of the coronavirus.

It's up 12%.

12%.

I want you to get involved

and at least consider gold.

If you have money in your IRA,

if you have money sitting there, you can actually move it, part of it, into gold.

I have, you know, 10%

in gold.

That's what I think you should have.

But that's my opinion.

I want you to call the experts.

at Goldline.

They're waiting for your call right now at 866 Goldline.

Call them.

Just ask them about the information.

Tell them that, you know, I sent you, and they'll tell you why I buy gold, you know, the way I do.

But

I just think

the minute the world stops going insane

is the minute I'll stop telling you, you know, you should really look at gold.

Because the more insane the country and the world goes,

it seems the higher the price of gold goes.

Go there now, goldline, goldline.com, 866Goldline.

1-866-Goldline.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, with all of the stuff going on,

as we said, the Iowa caucus is Monday.

The State of the Union is next Tuesday.

We have the impeachment trial going on.

That should end maybe by Wednesday.

They'll start to vote on whether they're going to have, you know, John Bolton or anybody else, the whistleblower, be called to testify on that.

With all of the things going on, one thing that has

slipped past, I think, everybody

is

this Middle East peace plan.

The president has Benjamin Etanyahu at the White House today.

They're meeting today over a major peace plan,

and they're going to announce it tomorrow at noon.

That peace plan is talking about the so-called occupied territories, and it will come with a new map.

And the speculation is those aren't ever going to be called occupied or in dispute anymore, at least by America.

We're introducing new borders and everything else.

A proposal that already, before any of it has come out, the Palestinian

Palestinian Authority has

pretty much come out and said, burn the whole place down.

When this comes out, we want full-fledged riots on the streets, which is always good to hear from your leaders.

I think you're...

I mean, who doesn't want to hear that from your governor or

your president, any leadership at all?

Riots are ugly, but it's just about time we had one.

That's what's happening in Israel, and will be happening from the White House tomorrow at noon.

We're going to be watching the impeachment, so you don't have to, but I highly recommend that you do, and we'll see you at 5 p.m.

on Blaze TV.

Make sure you join me for the recap at 5.

This is the Glenbeck program.

program, program.
