Hello, America from Los Angeles, California, Mercury Studios.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Today, I think we're going to start with Donald Trump, a man who kept his word.

He said he would nominate a conservative to the court.

Everything that we know, we never know because this is what we said about John Roberts, but that wouldn't be President Trump's fault.

That would be the new justice's fault.

It looks like we have a great

Scalia conservative.

We go there right now.

I will make a stand.

I will raise my voice.

I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one.

I will be my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Well, boys, what do you think of Gorsuch?

What do you think of

what happened last night with

Trump's nominee?

Well, I mean, you know, we said on the air leading up to this that Gorsuch was the one I would pick out of the finalists.

Yeah, that was my three.

Yeah, he was my favorite of those three.

So obviously there's nothing else to say other than I'm very pleased by it.

I mean, you know, I did, you know, we talked about this throughout the primary.

One of the main reasons why I, you know, did not like Donald Trump throughout the primary, one of them, was I did not have any confidence in him making this pick and making it well.

And I am thrilled to be wrong on that because this is a great pick.

He stuck to the list.

He picked one of the ones, I would say, in the upper echelon of that list.

There's a lot of really positive things to talk about with Gorsuch.

And you're right.

You never know.

He might not get confirmed.

He might be a Roberts.

And the one point I would disagree with you on is that is part of his legacy.

It's part of Bush's legacy.

But it's Bush's fault.

Correct.

But hang on just a second.

But wait a minute.

Bush.

had this idea, and Ted Cruz told us because he tried to talk Bush out of this.

Bush had the idea of let's get somebody who doesn't have a record that we can push through who tells us they're conservative, but they don't really have a record on anything.

And so I think that's why it belongs to Bush.

I mean, everybody who vetted this guy, with an exception of a couple of areas, which we mentioned, what, last week, this guy looks really, really good.

So if he gets into office and he's not what his record holds, I think that's on Gorsuch and not on Trump.

Well, Well, it's mainly on Gorsuch, clearly.

He, you know, individual responsibility.

However, with the amount of information that Donald Trump has

about this guy that we don't,

you know, it is part of it.

That doesn't mean, I can't, you know, can't blame the guy.

You can't even blame, I don't even think you can blame Bush for the Obamacare ruling fully.

It's Roberts' choice, and he's the one that got into the Douche Hall of Fame because of it.

Right.

Hang on just a second.

Let me start with this, because we always say we lead with our mistakes.

One of the things that I said all the way through the primary was,

you think Donald Trump is going to put somebody who is anti-abortion, he's going to listen to his daughter.

He's not going to listen to us.

He's not going to fulfill that promise.

I was completely wrong on that.

I stand corrected.

I apologize to Donald Trump.

He said last night, I promised you that I would do that.

I am a man of my word.

He was.

So kudos to Donald Trump on that.

And I stand corrected.

Yeah.

And what a great way to be corrected.

You know, because we said we would, we said we would do this.

Nobody believes it.

We said we would do this.

If we were wrong, we would apologize.

I just did.

And I'm celebrating that I'm wrong.

I will stand.

I learned this from Abraham Lincoln.

He said, I will stand with any man when he is right, and I will walk away when he is wrong.

That is my philosophy on Donald Trump.

When he's right, I will stand with him and support him.

When he is wrong, I will not stand with him and I will fight him.

But that's the way, you know, somebody wrote on Twitter last night,

all knees will bend.

They were referring to Donald Trump, and they were mocking me for not supporting him.

and said, see, all knees will bend.

No, all knees will not bend to the President of the United

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you?

That's standard.

No, thank you.

Not going to

be in that one.

Isn't this the guy that Ted Cruz said he tried to talk Bush into instead of Roberts in the beginning?

I don't remember that.

I do remember that story, but I don't remember.

Yeah,

we should call Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz today.

See if we can get him on today.

Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, both of us.

We're not hearing you, Jeffy.

He would have been awfully young, however.

hear you, Jeffy.

Thank you, Lord.

This pick is better than we thought.

Yes.

Look at all this.

It's a day of miracles.

Jeffy.

His mic's not.

Can someone turn his mic on, please?

No, no, no.

I mean, sorry, keep it off.

Yes, thank you.

Whoever's doing that, thank you.

It is, by the way, Gorsuch, I would say, one of the reasons I liked him over some of the other justices is that he has kind of a libertarian streak.

There are elements of,

you know, there's a particular stance we can go over later where he's actually better than Scalia on it um and when i mean he might not be better than scalia overall that's to to be seen of course uh however when you can find anything where you're better than scalia on an issue uh it's pretty freaking impressive this is a good pick a smart guy and and you know look where i'm thrilled to been wrong about this one right so i will tell you this um uh

for anybody who said all they were voting for for donald trump was SCODIS,

thank you.

You were right.

You got that done.

And

I am stunned by it.

Just stunned by it.

Let's see now what the left does.

I will tell you, you know, I'm trying to have quick 144-character conversations with people.

Let me go through

a couple of things.

There was a couple of things that came out on this

yesterday

that I wanted to go.

Let's see.

Obviously, listener,

you're corrupt, media is uncorrupt, hard stance against Trump.

Here,

Glenn, we're enemies.

I think I used to watch you every I think I used to watch you every night on Fox.

I was a fool.

Why are we enemies?

And one of them was from a liberal

who said,

you know, you are,

you know,

I was just starting to

consider you a friend.

This is why you're not my friend.

Well, wait a minute.

You were a fool if you think that I changed my principles.

Anybody on the left who thinks that I'm suddenly a progressive, you're out of your mind.

I've never said that.

I've made that very clear.

I've said that to everybody I've met with.

I have changed my tone, and I want to listen to you, and I want to reach out because we have to be able to model friendship.

And here's what I responded: Scalia was a good friend of Ginsburg.

They respected one another.

Why can't we respect one another as well?

We disagree, but we're not enemies.

And that was one of the biggest disappointments that I had.

You know, I wasn't running the Scalia funeral, obviously.

But the selfish part of me wanted Ginsburg to stand up and speak.

And she has spoken out about him.

But I wanted it at the funeral when everybody, when all eyes were there.

I would have loved Justice Ginsburg to stand up and talk about their friendship.

That was one of the things that we've all missed.

Here's Scalia and Ginsburg, and the supporters of Ginsburg hate Scalia.

And the people who support Ginsburg, I mean, Scalia, hate Ginsburg.

Why?

They don't hate each other.

There's a difference.

Let me say this.

Let me

correct something that is a long-standing

problem of mine.

I use the word evil

too easily.

There is evil.

I believe there is evil.

But I will use the word evil sometimes with people.

And I can't judge if people are evil.

That's wrong.

And I can't.

There's.

I'm going to try to to stop using that word unless, you know, we're pretty clear.

And stop using that word.

I want to replace that word with wrong.

They're just wrong.

That doesn't make them evil.

They're just wrong.

And we have to stop literally demonizing people.

And I've done that for a long time.

We got to stop.

Ginsburg is just wrong.

Now, I don't know her, but Justice Scalia sure seems like a really nice guy to me.

Not to the people on the left, because all they do is look at his record of how he votes, and they just assume all kinds of things about him.

We look at Ginsburg, and we just assume all kinds of things about her.

But wait a minute.

Scalia, if we're right about Scalia,

how are they really truly good, deep friends?

How is is that possible?

If he's really a good guy, he wouldn't be hanging out with evil.

He would be hanging out with somebody who he profoundly disagrees with, but he likes.

Why is it that this pick has to be

either saintly or evil, depending on which he's just either right in your opinion or wrong in your opinion?

And one more thing on this.

I would fully expect

if the court,

the only real conservative left on the court was Ginsburg, and there was a progressive president,

I would expect the president to

bring in a progressive.

If half the country was a liberal progressive

were liberal progressive citizens,

I would not expect the Supreme Court not to represent their point of view.

I think, and I don't know, but I think I would actually be saying on the air, look, guys, it's Ginsburg.

There's no one else on the court that represents 50% of the country.

It's ridiculous to think that we shouldn't have one voice on the court that is actually making this case

for a true constitutional conservative.

If you don't, if you can't see that as split as we are,

would I love to have everybody a constitutional conservative on the Supreme Court?

Yes.

Do I think that's what the founders would want?

Yes.

But half of the country will feel completely alienated from the Supreme Court.

We have to have faith in our system.

You can't replace Ginsburg with Scalia, and you can't replace Scalia with a Ginsburg.

You have to have a real conservative replace Scalia.

I think it's only right and fair.

We we

we need to fight for our principles, but we also need to stand up for other people's points points of view and let the best man win and the best idea win.

I have no problem fighting for my ideas.

And I think, I really think, yesterday, I want to tell you a story later.

Yesterday, I went to a place, to a studio, and we all were driving over and we're like, this should be interesting.

Because this individual

used to be a progressive.

And I mean a progressive that would make your eyes bleed

on a network that you would,

again, you'd hammer, you'd have no blood left in your body.

He invited me over to his studio and said, I want to do a sit-down with you.

And I said, fine.

And before we started, he said, you know, I saw the interview with you with Tucker Carlson.

And he said, Tucker Carlson was going after you, and

he didn't make any ground.

And I said, Yeah, because I really don't care anymore.

So

I said, that's the secret.

You know, everybody always told me, Glenn, stop caring so much.

And when you're trying not to care, it doesn't work.

But when you really don't care, it's fantastic.

And so he said that.

And I thought, this is going to be an interesting hour.

He may start to go after me.

He started the interview with, look, I used to be a progressive.

I used to be a hardcore progressive.

And then I noticed during this last election that all of my friends who I thought believed in something were all switching tables.

And they were all starting to fight for things because the conservatives were picking things up that we believed in.

And

the

Democrats were excusing things from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

That I'm like, wait, we're against all that stuff.

He says, so I'm finding myself now in a situation where people who are being intellectually honest on the conservative side, I'm there.

We had an amazing conversation, an amazing conversation.

Are we going to agree on everything?

No.

But the end of the conversation was: so, how many people in the country are actually tired of this back-and-forth bickering of the press that has no intellectual curiosity and no intellectual

credibility or integrity.

How many people are sick of that?

He believes that we're in the silent majority.

I think that may not be the case now, but I do think that may be the case down the road.

If you are intellectually honest and have integrity, and you don't want to fight because it's nothing but a stupid game.

And you actually want to stand for things like Scalia and Ginsburg.

They disagreed, but they were good to each other.

They liked each other.

They respected each other and they were friends.

Man, that's the world I want to live in.

Because this one isn't working.

This one's getting much, much worse.

All right, take a quick break back with more

in just a minute.

Now, this February, which means the countdown to Valentine's Day has begun.

Oh, crap.

This is a Sherry Sperry's commercial.

What do you mean?

I just heard Stu.

Right here.

I am in Los Angeles, and you are there, and they sent them, didn't they?

Yes, they did.

Those bastards.

What do you mean?

Oh, my.

Look at that.

Oh, my God.

This is not right.

This is not right.

For who?

Too bad for me.

For me.

Oh, well.

Too bad.

Too bad.

I'm the one doing the commercial.

But there's the white chocolate one, the one with all the mini chocolate chips and all the crushed nuts dipped in chocolate.

And then the chocolate on chocolate.

Yesterday, I talked to several people

who were part of the groups that were

trying to convince Donald Trump of the pick.

Several of the evangelical list did include Mike Lee.

In fact, David Barton told me the list he saw, Mike Lee was the number one pick for the people that he represented.

But Gorsuch

was there.

There were some people who were worried about Gorsuch

on a couple of things, and we addressed that last week.

But they would be happy if Gorsuch,

this is what happened yesterday, they'd be happy if Gorsuch was the guy.

They pretty much all felt good about him.

What was interesting was everyone just outside of the inner circle didn't believe that the top three were actually Donald Trump's top three.

He

plays it so close to the vest, and he's such a game show guy that they all thought, that's not the top three.

There's no way.

There's a surprise.

Out behind this door is a candidate nobody's ever heard of.

Here he is.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Head at 8727 BECK 888727PEC.

We go to Ken in New York.

Hello, Ken.

You're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, Glenn.

It's great to talk to you.

Thank you, sir.

I called you before Donald Trump's election, and I argued with you that he needed to be elected because of the Supreme Court.

And I was mad at you because you weren't promoting him.

And I appreciate your apology.

It makes you a better man.

Well, now you're going to be a good person.

I told you.

Hold on just a second, Ken.

I told you that I would.

And the one thing that I, the only thing that matters to me is my integrity.

I told you that I would, and I have.

So I'm sorry that people are disappointed that, or I mean, surprised that I would actually do that.

It shows me that I'm not going to lie.

Okay, good.

All right, good.

Okay, so now I'm doing it again.

You should buy one of those staples buttons and change the wording where it says, I'm sorry, because you're going to have to do it again.

As I said during the election, I will be the happiest man in the world if I have to apologize every day because I was wrong about Donald Trump.

I want him.

The country needs him to be successful.

I agree.

We have a famous president who was loved by all and endeared by all, and he made a quote one day, and that was, elections have consequences.

And so, our next Supreme Court pick, if it's Ginsburg who leaves us by hook or by crook,

Donald Trump has every right to appoint a conservative constitutionalist again.

And well, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Hang on just a second.

If you think that I'm saying that Donald Trump shouldn't replace Ginsburg with a conservative, that I misspoke.

What I said was, if Ginsburg.

Yeah, if Ginsburg was the last

radical

progressive on the court, and it was a Democratic president, a progressive president,

they would have every right and they should replace, and I would look at that as fair.

If

we're looking at a court now that really has no constitutional conservative on it, except Clarence Thomas, the rest of them can go either way, and they'll all, you know, John Roberts is absolutely useless.

Alito.

Alito is good.

Alito's good.

Alito is good.

Okay.

But if you have the lion, if you have the lion of the side

and your guy is in there, they should replace.

If Ginsburg was the only voice that was really leading the charge, she should be replaced.

We can't have a court that

shuts out 50% of the country we we can't do that

it would be nice if the entire court just believed the Constitution to be the rule of law and made their decisions based on the rule of law and the Constitution and we wouldn't care what party or what affiliations they had if you if you got strict constitutionalists that actually interpreted the Constitution as it was written, it would be the solution to all of our problems.

Unfortunately, we don't have those justices.

But one of the reasons why we don't is because we have done a very bad job, not as conservatives, not as

Republicans, but as Americans of understanding and being able to teach and spread the word of the Constitution.

It's a lot like faith.

Faith many times has become a tool to either get rich or to build a big church

or to bring people into the fold that agree with you and then put a bunch of rules on them.

Faith, to me, religion

is used too many times to control people.

When you really understand faith, God has rules, but they're between you and him, not the organization or anything else.

You and him.

And it is the most freeing thing.

Those simple rules will free you and make you

more free than you've ever been in your entire life.

It's an amazing thing.

The same thing with the Constitution.

There are very few rules.

Those amendments.

If you just go with the Bill of Rights and we all really did that, no matter whose whose side it hurt or won for.

You know, well, no, wait a minute, hang on, that'll hurt my religion or that will hurt my agenda or this or that.

No,

you stick by those simple rules and we'll all be free and we'll all live happily ever after and together.

That was one of the great things that he said, Gorsuch, was if you're not making decisions that make you feel uncomfortable based on your, you know, whatever your particular beliefs are,

because you're following the law, then you're not a very good justice.

You have to be following the law.

Sometimes that will disagree with what you want to happen.

Absolutely.

But you follow the law and the Constitution anyway, and sometimes that will make you uncomfortable.

Right.

And the Constitution is paramount.

Not the law.

Yes.

The Constitution is paramount.

You know, for instance, it makes me very, very uncomfortable

to not be able to just

tap people's phones who we just think, you know, I don't know, that guy's shady.

We should listen.

every, and especially if everybody in the room is standing around you going, look, every other country is doing this.

We gotta, we ought to be able to do those.

No,

I'm sorry.

And I will take the blame for this if it turns out bad, but I'm going to make the case that that is what makes us unlike all other countries.

No president or anybody else has the power to say, you know what?

Put him on an enemy's list.

Let's follow him.

Let's destroy him.

Let's tap him.

If we can gather enough evidence, guys, and go to a court and do it through the Constitution as an individual, good.

Let's do it.

If you can't gather that evidence, sorry.

That's really uncomfortable if you're sitting there as the President of the United States and saying, gee, I don't know, man.

And then if something happens, and if that guy gets away, then I'm going to be blamed for it.

Yeah, you will be.

Tough, isn't it?

Because the one to really blame is the Constitution, and the Constitution is freeing in the end.

Otherwise, what happens?

You say, oh, you know what?

I don't have a problem.

By hook or by crook, that's a quote.

We're going to pull vault into it if we have to.

We'll do anything it takes to get this done, even though it's unconstitutional.

What does that lead you to?

Somebody else that gets power in the Oval Office that says, by hook or by crook, I'm going to do whatever I want by executive order.

and all of a sudden you don't like it, the Constitution would take away everybody's need to protest in the streets.

Ben, are you still there?

Yeah, go ahead, Ken.

I just want to say that during the campaign, you were very adamant about principle and that you didn't want to be drug into voting for something against your principle by voting for Trump.

And I'd just like to say again that I hope that you'll rethink that philosophy because of the outcome of this election and how, you know,

even I was wrong in some of the ideas that I thought was going to happen.

Okay, we really need to vote for the best president.

No, I don't think so.

I will never rethink.

Hang on just a second.

I will never

abandon my principles for what I think might happen.

Because too many times, as we have seen with Supreme Court justices,

what I think will happen isn't what happens.

I will stick by my principles because they are unchanging and

I will trust God to work it out.

Thank you, Ken.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

It's too early for

all Trump supporters to be claiming that this is going to be the greatest president of all time.

No, wait a minute.

I mean, this is a good decision, but this doesn't make a presidency.

Right.

And I still don't,

I still don't,

I will tell you, and this is going to hack a lot of people off.

And I'm sorry, but I'm just going to be honest with you.

I watched him last night, and I sat there and I went, I can't believe this guy is our president.

Just the way he handles himself.

This was a great decision.

And it may turn out that he is so far ahead of us in his genius of being able to handle things.

And I will apologize

for doubting him on everything that he does that is constitutional.

But we've got a long road ahead of us.

I agree with him on this.

And this was really important.

I was wrong on how he would play it.

Let's see how he defends it.

Let's see if he can get it through.

If he fights to the end, which is another thing I said, even if he does that, I don't think he's going to spend the political capital.

to be able to get somebody who is a scalia type through.

We haven't seen that happen.

I believe he will because I don't think he's, I really don't think he cares about political capital.

So I think I'm going to be wrong on that one too.

But this is a really good

move and a good pick.

And

I want to fulfill the promise that I made to you as an audience, just as I did when you didn't like it.

I was fulfilling a promise to myself and to you that I took in 2012.

I will not compromise my principles and vote for the lesser of two evils.

That was my promise to myself and to the audience.

I didn't compromise.

As I said during the campaign, if he's president, I will give him a fresh slate.

It doesn't mean I'm going to like him, but if

he does good, I will stand with him and I will,

where I was wrong, I will point it out and I will give him credit unquestionably where he's right.

But that doesn't mean that I'm a blind follower now.

And Glenn,

it's such a weird thing, I think, to me.

Here's a good day where I think, you know, if you're a Trump fan, you see that he did something really good.

To kind of carry around these issues from the primary is strange to me.

And think about it from a perspective.

If you're a Trump supporter and you are a Trump supporter throughout the primary and you're saying, well, you were wrong on Trump.

What we did in that situation is based on their records, who we thought would have a better percentage chance to do something like this.

The reason why we wanted Ted Cruz as president is because we thought there was basically a 100% chance he'd pick somebody good for the Supreme Court.

I know it's not just the Supreme Court, but I'm just minimizing it to that issue.

Our point was, we think the chances are that Cruz would be more reliable on a pick like this than Trump was.

I still to this day believe that Cruz would be more reliable on this pick.

However, Trump did it.

So what we come to at the end of this is that both of us got what we wanted, and yet still Republicans seem to be fighting with each other over it?

Who cares about that?

I'm thrilled about this pick because this is one of the main reasons I wanted Ted Cruz or Rand Paul to be president of the United States.

And it's a great thing that we should actually be celebrating, not, you know,

trying to pick each other apart about it.

This is positive.

God forbid, we actually get one freaking good moment as conservatives over the past 20 years.

Let's celebrate it for once.

So, here is why Martin Luther King was right.

And this goes right to what you're talking about.

You say, this is good.

And here we are.

We're coming and saying, you were right.

We were wrong.

We should celebrate together.

And what's happening?

Too many people want to say, see, I told you.

That's playing the game of winning.

Martin Luther King said, winning makes someone feel like a loser.

And so the wound never heals.

You can't do that.

You have to reconcile.

And when somebody says, you know what?

Okay, I agree with you on that.

Good.

Open your arms and go, good, thanks.

All right.

What else can we do?

Where else can we reconcile, not try to win?

And still too many people are trying to win.

And I understand that.

I mean, you know, if I were for Donald Trump

during the primary, especially all the way from the beginning, I would have been very mad at us too.

But, you know, whatever.

And And I can understand a gloating moment or two because, I mean, we've had plenty of globe fest.

Yeah, so I get that.

But, I mean, the point is, if you're still, if that's what's driving you, were you interested in having a good Supreme Court justice or winning some battle on Twitter?

Which one did you want?

I know which one I wanted.

I wanted the Supreme Court justice, and I'm happy that we have it.

Well, Twitter's pretty important.

Neil Gorsuch was confirmed in 2006 to his current role.

Here's some people that voted for him.

Diane Feinstein, Ron Wyden, Richard Durbin, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer,

Bill Nelson, Debbie Stabenow, Maria Cantwell, Bob Menendez, and four more you might know.

Hillary Clinton,

John Kerry,

Joe Biden, and another another senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

Just those people thought he was fine in 2006, but now surely there's going to be an extreme distaste for

now.

Now he's Bork.

Yeah, now he's Bork.

I think there's a good, a lot of people are saying maybe they won't go after this one because if they force the Republicans to use the nuclear option here, they'll use it again for sure when, if Ginsburg or Kennedy were to leave.

I guarantee you, I guarantee you, Donald Trump will use the nuclear option.

Guarantee it.

Well, he doesn't have that option, but I guess he could encourage McConnell to do that.

Yes, but he, but I guarantee you that they will

use the nuclear option.

The thought is if they don't use it this time, maybe they'd have an argument for them not to use it next time.

If they force, Democrats force Republicans to use it this time, they'll just use it again if Ginsburg or Kennedy were to go, and then they're really screwed.

Yep.

Hello, America from Los Angeles, California.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you this hour about the reaction of the left to Gorsuch

and plead

to both sides to

be better than this.

What Nancy Pelosi said about Gorsuch is the reason why so many of us are just tired.

We're just tired of it.

Tired of it.

And not going to play this game anymore.

I want to start there.

The Supreme Court pick

from

President Trump keeping his word that he would give us

a constitutional Supreme Court justice,

he did it last night, keeping his word.

Something we thought he would never do.

I am happy to say we were wrong.

We begin there right now.

I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one,

I will beat my drum.

I have made my choice, we will overcome,

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So let's start with Nancy Pelosi and what Nancy Pelosi said about the pick.

So it's a very hostile appointment.

Hail Fellow, well met, lovely family, I'm sure.

But as far as your family is concerned, in all the,

if you breathe air, drink water, eat food, take medicine, or in any other way interact with the courts, this is a very bad decision.

Well, outside the mainstream of American legal thought.

It is scary because he did say he would take away all medicine.

He did it during a speech.

I don't know why.

She's exaggerating on the food thing because all he said was he would not allow new food to be created.

He did not say you would take the food from your house that you already have.

Well, no, no, no, no, no.

He also did say that DDT would replace the contents of every Pepsi and Coca-Cola can.

Yes, yes, he did.

And he's going to poison drinks.

That's a drink.

She didn't even address that.

That says beverage.

He did say he would spray rat poison over every American city.

Well, yes.

He did say that he would come in and strangle your children at night as well.

That was in one of his rulings.

Anyway.

For the day, he'd be fine.

For his day.

Let's do this and remember what I'm striving for this year, which is

great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, and small minds talk about people.

So let's not make this about Nancy Pelosi and how small-minded she is.

Let's talk about what she just did.

What she just did is

fake news.

She has just introduced fake news

and alternative facts.

To claim that anyone,

again,

Ginsburg, I couldn't disagree with Ginsburg more

than I do.

However, Justice Scalia showed us that she must be a good woman because he was good friends with her.

So he was either some mad, insane, uh, uh, closeted, evil guy who was hanging out with this evil woman, or he's the guy that we thought he was, and we've been misled about Ginsburg.

She's not evil.

She's just wrong.

When Nancy Pelosi says, oh man, oh, he could, he couldn't be more scarier.

Yeah, he could be.

I think we could have a lot of people.

You want some people that are on the fringe of legal thought?

We could get our former science czar who said that he wanted to literally put sterilants in drinking water back in the 70s.

That, I think, is on the fringe of legal thought.

Somebody who says they are a strict constitutionalist and they take the Constitution to mean the government has no right to tell anyone what to do.

That's not the fringe.

That is American legal thought.

May not be current, but it is what made America the place that everyone runs to.

And so, what she did is she's made him into this evil man who wants to kill your children and

poison your food to make sure that the corporations, you know, it really amazes me how people can really think.

For instance, me,

Stu, do you know anyone who

has a home like I have in Idaho?

Do you know anyone who is more green than me?

No, you are.

I mean, from what I've heard, that home is

quite impressive when it comes to...

It should please the Sierra Club.

Yeah,

it would make Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio blush because of their carbon footprint.

Okay?

Now, I do it because, A,

I do care about the environment.

I do care about the woods around me and the mountains and the water.

I want to make sure that it's all clean, not for me, but for coming generations of my children and everybody else.

And there's nothing wrong with me being selfish and say, yeah, I want the air clean for me.

I want the water clean for me.

If that's the way you get to it in a selfish way, that's okay because you're going to, by

wanting it to be clean for you, you'll want it to be clean for everybody because you never know what water you're going to be drinking.

The virtue of selfishness.

Exactly right.

Yeah.

And I don't, I don't

ascribe to the Ayn Rand theory, but in this particular case, it works.

To think that somebody who is a constitutionalist,

what, has their own oxygen bubble that they can live in, their own drinking water bubble that they can live in is insane.

Why do we have to

Why do we have to hate each other like this?

Why do we have to stoop to that?

I am convinced that

I've said this before.

You know the end of any industry when somebody goes inside and makes fun of the industry at the top of the industry.

And when that industry starts to use force or laws to protect themselves.

I've known that cable news was done as we know it, that it is going to have a diminishing impact on our culture

because

I was at the top of it and I was breaking it and mocking it while I was on.

I mean, remember the reports that, Stu, you used to do when you did, you know, we did the reports on

news and fake news and had you out in the environmental suit with the light bulbs?

I'm still, I still have health impact because of the state.

I know you, bro.

I know you did.

Well, good luck on that.

You noticed I stayed inside.

I don't care what happens to others.

And I knew that was the end.

Well, what is Donald Trump doing right now?

Donald Trump is inside the government, mocking the government.

This isn't going to last.

And we will, over time, and not necessarily with this president, that's not what I'm saying, but at some point,

if it's not the last president, who we thought it might be, it's not this president, who some think it might be, it may be the next president who says, well, I've got all the levers.

I'm just going to use it for what I want, and you've got a dictator.

I think that we go either into a dictatorship authoritarianism one way or another, or...

We the people also get sick of tired of playing this game and we're like, I'm just not going to give it any kind of power at all.

I'm going to just, I'm going to unite with friends and I'm going to unite with people who I disagree with.

And we're just going to stop all of this hatred in our own lives.

And that spreads.

And all of a sudden, they don't have power because they can't make you hate.

Look at what the ACLU, look at what happened over the weekend.

This last weekend with all the marches,

it had nothing to do with a Muslim ban because anyone with any intellectual integrity read that and went, they're not banning Muslims.

That's not what this is about.

They're not banning Muslims.

So why did they do this?

Because last weekend, what was it, $247 million the ACLU raised?

They're building a death star for the next big battle or the battle after that.

And what are they doing?

What is Nancy Pelosi doing now?

She's ratcheting it up.

She's throwing bloody meat to her audience.

I refuse to throw bloody meat.

I'm not going to do it.

I don't know why

I don't know how we get past this, but we have to get past this.

And I would hope that, you know, if Barack Obama would have run for a third term, I know, I know, he would have done it.

Run for a third term,

and it was

Ginsburg that died,

I would would hope that we wouldn't say the things that they are going to say about

Gorsuch.

I hope that they don't do what they did last time to Clarence Thomas, where they made him into a predator in the office.

They made him into an Uncle Tom.

They took the man and stripped him clean of any integrity because they disagreed with him.

I would hope that we would be able to start having arguments where we just say, you know what?

I believe you're wrong on that.

Not that you're evil and not that you want to poison children and

make sure that everybody has their oxygen hoses right to the back of a GM vehicle.

Maybe it's just me.

Obviously it is.

Nobody's responding.

Well,

you were just rambling for a long time.

I just wanted to make sure we didn't get you all.

Oh my gosh, I just realized none of you were listening.

We were listening to you.

We were all listening to every word.

Oh.

I think you're walking down.

Well, let me ask you this, because this is, I think, an important thing that it's not just a couple people who are hearing.

You keep going down this road of

you sound like you don't want to win every seat on the Supreme Court.

You sound like that.

Wait, wait, wait.

I know that's not what you're saying.

I know it might sound like that.

I know.

I know that's not what you're saying.

100%.

I've talked to you for 20 years.

I 100% know that you want constitutionalists on the Supreme Court.

You don't necessarily have to think every single, agree with every single issue, but the Constitution is a principle and it's something that I know you are lockstep, you are 100% supportive of and you want that.

When you say,

you're trying to, I think,

articulate that you understand where the other side is coming from.

And I think we would all react the same way.

I know if there wasn't one conservative left, I would have to go that way.

Let me, because I got to take a quick break.

Let me cut to the chase because I think I know how I can explain this to make sense.

Pendillette would not be a Supreme Court justice that a lot on the right would love.

Would you agree with that?

He's an atheist.

He's an atheist.

He's for legalizing drugs.

It's also a magician, so probably not the...

Yeah, right, right, right, right, right.

But that kind of mindset.

They would not be for him.

But I will tell you that Penn Pendillette would be a

strict constitutionalist.

I believe.

I'm just making this up, okay?

Right.

But I believe he would be a strict constitutionalist and go right down the line of the constitution.

But he's not going to appeal to my friends.

I would not fight a Pendillette as long as he is going by the Constitution.

What we're doing right now is we're saying they don't agree with our lifestyle.

They don't agree with, and I don't mean us, I mean the left right now is doing this, they don't agree with all of our things that we want to push through.

Well, okay, I don't have to agree with all the things you want to push through.

I have to agree that it's constitutional or not.

If all the things you want to push through are not constitutional, sucks to be you.

But if you want to work on those things and the Supreme Court justice believes in those things, but he's not, but he's going to be a strict constitutionalist, I have no problem.

And I think it's important that we have people of radically different views, just not on the Constitution in the Supreme Court.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I think so.

I think so.

The point, the center of this is what the justices are supposed to do.

They're supposed to defend the Constitution and interpret what was intended.

I mean, that was what they're supposed to do.

And, you know, if you get that, you might disagree with some things, but the principle is there.

Right.

And if it was Barack Obama that was picking the replacement for Ginsburg, I would hate it, but I wouldn't want to do anything to stop it.

I would not want to

sell my soul.

to stop it.

I would hope that we would fight in a principled way.

And the way that we need to fight for that is right now, by teaching people that the Constitution frees you to live the way you want to, that government should not be involved in these things.

But I would expect, and I would fight against it, but I would expect that Barack Obama would have replaced a Ginsburg with another Ginsburg.

And I would hope that we would be better that we wouldn't do, we wouldn't talk about pubic hairs on Coke cans

when it's not true.

Now this.

Why do we prepare?

Because if you're prepared for the worst and the best happens, great.

Kind of like this.

I prepared for the worst.

I thought Donald Trump would never, well, this is a great day for me.

You, if you believed it the whole time, might have gone today, whew, good.

He did it.

I'm like, I'm having a celebration.

This is fantastic.

So when you're prepared for the worst and the worst happens, well, you're thankful for

your preparedness.

But if it doesn't, you celebrate.

So why not be prepared for the worst?

My Patriot Supply is standing by to help now.

So finally, the debate that I wanted to have during the presidential election.

This is, this is why, one of the reasons why I was for Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz as the nominees.

Because

I want to have the open debate

between a socialist and a constitutionalist.

Because I think when you have a Bernie Sanders next to a Ted Cruz, it's going to become obvious which one actually is freeing.

CNN has decided to do this debate, and I can't wait to watch it.

Yeah, that's

Tuesday at 9 p.m.

And, you know, it kind of goes back to what one of the, one of the most, I think the highest rated program in the history of CNN was Al Gore versus Ross Perot on the Larry King live show.

They were debating NAFTA back in the day.

It's the highest rated show that ever aired on CNN, I believe.

At least that's what he used to say in the hallways when we worked there.

They showed all the biggest shows they ever had.

It's kind of the same type of thing.

I don't expect this one to be the highest rated.

But Ted Cruz versus Bernie Sanders on the future of Obamacare, which I think is actually a pretty short argument for Ted Cruz.

There is no future for Obamacare.

But that'll be a really

interesting to see.

That's not, I mean, that's a a great debate to have, but wouldn't you love to have the debate of

a constitutional free market versus a socialist

planned market?

That's unbelievable.

Do you happen to have, do we have time to play the audio?

A student to Pelosi.

Young people don't believe in capitalism.

Do you have that audio, Pat?

We don't have time for that right now.

We don't have time for PlayStation.

Let's play it with the break.

Yeah, play it after the break.

Because here

Nancy Pelosi was,

a couple of students talked to her yesterday and was caught on tape.

And one of them is about socialism.

And I think this is absolutely true.

I think we have lost the next generation

because we're not, we're making a case that what's happening right now is capitalism.

What's happening right now is the free market.

What's happening right now is constitutional.

And it's none of those things.

We don't live in the free market.

We're living in a planned economy.

That's what the Fed is, planning our economy.

We live in

a world of cronyism, not a free market.

And we, by defending what's happening right now,

it's being redefined for our children.

They think that what we're doing right now or what we've done in the last 20 years is the free market.

it's not it's not

that we have to do a better job in sharing with the youth because they think the alternative now is marxism we should give that a whirl and that's a nightmare

triple eight seven two seven back

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Tonight, we open up the vault with David David Barton.

A lot of people have been asking to bring back Founding Fridays or things like that onto the Blaze.

We have David Barton in a series that begins tonight on the vault.

We open it up and we look at black history.

We're doing Black History Month this month in a way that nobody else is doing Black History.

Tonight, Black History that I can guarantee you

if you're black or your Black friends have never heard,

and there are stories that I have not heard,

and the evidence in the vault that these people existed and what we're telling you is true.

Also, beginning next week on his story, we tell the story in the next four weeks for Black History Month of black history giants that have been all but erased.

There are a couple of stories that we're going to tell you that I can guarantee you didn't know.

Guarantee.

And

even if you're black and you think you're up to speed on black history, I sat with

five black men,

two of them were pretty big scholars on

African-American history.

blew them away.

I expected them to know this because I mean, I'm discovering things and I'm like, I know this is not being taught in school, but these men are really, really sharp and they have really done their homework on black history and they know it.

When they heard these stories, they were like, wait, hold it.

And they just froze the conversation and went to Google.

They didn't believe in the conversation.

And I'm sitting there with the stuff.

And I'm like, no, really, this is what this is.

Hang on.

Went right to their phones to Google and then just read for about three minutes.

It was like, holy cow, how do do I not know that?

It's quite a month.

Tuesday and Wednesday nights, all during February.

It's his story on Tuesdays and the Vault.

And tonight, Black History with David Barton, episode number one on the Vault.

You don't want to miss it.

Only on the Blaze TV.

This is a great

month to watch this as a family because you will really learn stuff that you just didn't know and is really important,

really important.

All right, let's go to the Nancy Pelosi audio and why we are teaching history.

And I'm focusing on this.

Listen to this student asking Nancy Pelosi a question.

People between the ages of 18 and 29, not just Democrats, not just leftists, 51% of people between 18 and 29 no longer support the system of capitalism.

That's not me asking you to make a radical statement about about capitalism, but I'm just telling you that my experience is that the younger generation is moving left on economic issues.

And I've been so excited to see how Democrats have moved left on social issues.

As a gay man, I've been very proud to see you fighting for our rights and for many leadership, many Democratic leaders fighting for our rights.

But I wonder if there's anywhere you feel that the Democrats could move farther left to a more populist message, the way the alt-right has sort of captured this populist strain on the right wings.

Stop.

You hear what he just said?

Yeah.

That I'm wondering if you can move to a more populist message.

Populism, a populist movement is not good.

That's not good.

That's the way freedom dies every time.

Because when you are a populist, you can...

That's what they call it.

That's what they used to accuse me of.

And I was like, I am not a populist.

I just happen to believe these things.

And it happens to be

syncing with a lot of people because that's where they are right now.

It's,

for someone to say, can we design a populist movement is really, really dangerous.

And he's saying, hey, can we design a populist movement?

Can we do something like the neo-Nazis are doing?

No, that's not good.

That's not good.

If you think we could make a more stark contrast to right-wing economics.

Well, I thank you for your question, but I have to say we're capitalist.

And that's just the way it is.

However, we do think that capitalism is not necessarily meeting the needs with the income inequality that we have in our country.

Well, what a contradictory statement that is.

What?

Yeah.

But you're but you're capitalist, but it's it's not working.

So huh, that's interesting.

That's fascinating.

Of course, they're not capitalists in the first place.

No, no, I don't think very few people are capitalists.

I mean, certainly not the domestic

today.

Quite honestly,

the way Donald Trump ran his business when it comes to getting special favors, look, I give to everybody so I have special favors.

That's not pure capitalism either.

That's crony capitalism.

And that is truly the problem: we have made capitalism into

crony capitalism.

And,

you know, it's one of these things that, and I've said this for a long time, and I think I finally solved it in my head, and it wasn't really hard.

I don't know why I didn't see this, but I think I've finally solved this in my head.

I've said this for years: that the only part of American history that breaks apart for me is that

time time period where people like Carnegie and Rockefeller

could

manipulate the system because they had so much money they could manipulate the system because there's no difference between those guys and what George Soros is doing he's using his money to buy access and manipulate the system.

And that's wrong.

I can't be put out of business by

those kind of people if I'm just starting.

Then I've got the, you know, the lords and the serfs problem that we had under,

you know, autocratic rule with the kings.

So how do you solve that?

You know, is there...

And progressives will say, well, maybe there's a cap.

You can only have so much money.

No.

The solution is really simple.

You strip government of so much power that no one

has any lever to pull to help one guy or another.

All you do is make sure that everyone is playing the game and no one has special access.

And let me show you how this worked.

If you're by your computer right now, or just remember this, and when you get near a computer, do this.

I want you to just Google 30 Rock

picture

from Avenue of the Americas.

Okay, that's the 6th Avenue.

It's not the ice skating rink view that is always shown on television.

Google it for me real quick.

Matthew, hand it to me so I make sure that that's what it's doing.

Tell me, describe what it's showing you, Stu.

There are several views.

I'm not exactly sure which one you're looking for.

I want corner to corner.

I want the front of 30 Rock from the Avenue of the Americas, and I want it from corner to corner on 6th Avenue.

Despite doing the show there multiple years, I can't exactly remember

what part I'm looking at.

Let's see.

It's from the street.

Yeah, I've got it here.

So

all I googled was 30 Rock, 30 Rock picture from 6th Avenue.

And the one that I came up with has the fountain in front of it from across the street.

Okay.

Yes, okay.

Okay, you got that one?

Yep.

Okay.

Now I want you to understand that 30 Rock, that Rockefeller Center is not what you think it is.

People think Rockefeller Center is just that little group of buildings around the ice rink, right?

Right.

But Rockefeller, Rockefeller Center is the Fox building across the street, the Simon Schuster building two blocks down.

All of those buildings in about a 12-block area, all the way to MoMA, that is Rockefeller Center.

And it was the slum of New York.

Rockefeller selfishly, now think of this, selfishly didn't want his home to be so close to slums.

So he started buying up all these slums and just plowing them.

And he thought, I'm going to build something great around my house.

So my neighbors are a little nicer.

So he buys everything.

When it comes down to it, he has bought 12 blocks.

Everything is flattened

except two buildings and if you look at that picture Stu look at the picture you'll see 30 rock right in the center tell me what's on each side

buildings that do not belong there if you were to design it from scratch they're little four floor

buildings with now it has like a store at street level and maybe apartments above it or but very tiny looks like a little row home almost yes and it's about three three to four stories.

And they don't match on either side, right?

One's brown.

Blue and one's gray.

For eight blocks in Rockefeller Center on that side of the street, for eight blocks, all of the businesses or all of the buildings are all

Art Deco, a brand new American kind of design.

Rockefeller Center was, the intent was to make an American building and to introduce a new American style of design because everything had the big columns and everything else.

And so you see those two buildings on each side.

He couldn't get them done.

He couldn't get those guys out.

He tried with the courts, and the courts said, unconstitutional.

And he's like, look, I'm trying to build something important for the city.

Unconstitutional.

You'll have to buy them.

The one guy, I believe the guy on the left of the picture, was greedy.

And he knew that this was the crown jewel building that he was going to wanted to build there.

And so he was greedy.

The guy on the other side, on the right-hand side of Rockefeller Center, that was an Irish pub.

And the family had come from Ireland and they had made a pub and it was great success.

Then Prohibition

held on.

They lived in the upper floors.

They closed the pub.

I don't know what they were doing for money, but it fell into disrepair because Prohibition, they had no money, but they held on to that building because they knew Prohibition would end.

And that family said, this is our heritage.

This is what my grandfather built.

This is what my father ran, and I will run it again.

I'm not selling for any price.

The price for each of those buildings reached seven figures.

And the greedy guy said,

No, it's not enough.

You need my property.

And the pub guy said, no price, no price.

The attorney went back to Rockefeller, took his coat off, and he said, couldn't get it done.

Rockefeller said, put your coat back on.

You go tell the architects, build around them.

That is an example of true capitalism.

The most powerful man in the world at the time.

The guy who owned Standard Oil.

The guy who, and this is a story for another show, the guy who kept the Empire State Building empty.

The Empire State Building was built and no office, nobody was moving their offices into the Empire State Building.

They called it, it was the joke for a while, the empty state building.

Why was it empty?

Because Rockefeller muscled every corporation to move into the new Rockefeller Center.

That's how powerful he was.

Every one of those buildings was sold out before they ever cut the ribbon.

Every space in the Great Depression was filled because he muscled people, but he couldn't muscle the average American out of their own space.

That is capitalism.

Now this.

We're racing towards a digital economy, and I want you to read Goldline's important information and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

But they have a new report out on the free cashless society.

The cashless society is real.

And I know this sounds crazy, but if you think about it,

when's the last time you carried cash?

When's the last time you bought anything with cash?

Tell me the millennials.

Tell me the last time a millennial, you bought a millennial a wallet for their cash.

Tell me how, if you're in the money clip industry, how well is business going for you right now?

Huh?

Not happening.

And this isn't consumed conspiracy.

It's only normal.

This is going to happen.

Now,

the fear is

that it's not going to be Bitcoin that changes the world, that it won't be a private

cryptocurrency.

What will happen is the governments of the world in a giant crash will say, reset all of it and we'll go to cryptocurrency because then no cheating on taxes, no illegal drug sales, no nothing.

And they can track you

every step of the way.

And you ever fall out of favor in a communist country, well, good luck for you because they'll choke you off.

Oh, your bank account?

Zero?

Hmm.

Maybe you should be more politically correct.

This is what's coming to the world.

Me, I'm more concerned about the insurance of a collapse of

the economy, and that's when gold really comes in handy.

Always the world returns to the gold standard.

I want you to call Goldline, see if buying gold is right for you.

Hello, America.

I'm glad you're here.

Pat, can we play just a couple of Gorsuch lines here?

Do we have anything short?

Go ahead and play something.

Standing here in a house of history and acutely aware of my own imperfections, I pledge that if I am confirmed, I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great country.

That's all we want, right?

We want a faithful servant of the Constitution.

That's what his job would be.

But progressives don't like that.

No, they don't.

They don't like that.

I mean, real progressives, early 20th century progressives, don't like that

because they know the Constitution

will allow them to speak and live their life the way they want, but the Constitution will not allow others to force you to follow somebody else.

It allows them to live the life that they want as well.

And that doesn't give control over anybody's life.

Good.

I have a story of

the first, the doctor that was the first doctor to cryogenically freeze people, and

they're ready to bring somebody back from the dead, the first person to be frozen.

Maybe they may try to revive soon.

It's an incredible story.

And you know how Madonna said at one point: if you vote for Hillary, and I know there's a lot of men out here, but I will personally, personally provide oral sex to any man who votes for Hillary.

I recall.

Yeah, right.

There is a woman in Italy who vowed to do that.

She's a model over in Italy.

She's very beautiful and she is keeping up with her promise.

And she's now started a tour.

And

you sign up for a time and you come in and

she says that she's got 19 million to do.

You're as good as your word.

You're as good as your word.

She honestly said, I'm doing this because I am a woman who keeps her word.

Oh,

okay, sticking with principles.

We're going to start there right now.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

I will be my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

All right.

So, this is.

Proud Hillary voters.

All of us right here.

Proud.

Okay.

All right.

So, so here's the,

no, even for that, I'm not going to say I fucked with Callery.

I refuse to make that claim.

All right.

This Naples-born, and I want to use in,

you know,

parenthetically speak,

actress.

She's a Naples-born model actress

who

during the election in Italy made

her promise very clear.

She wrote on Facebook, I I will practice oral sex with due and careful craftsmanship.

And I will fulfill my duty without,

okay, we'll leave that out.

Wow.

And I will strictly look you in the eye the entire time.

All of this to any man who will vote no in the referendum.

Okay.

She is, she's a

beautiful woman.

And

she said she's gone on this.

Let me get this right.

She went on this

pompouter,

which that is slang

for

that act.

And so she's gone on that tour.

And she had her first stop.

She said 400 men, she fulfilled the promise for 400 men.

She wrote on Facebook, first step of the pompou is gone.

I'm a little bit tired by everything.

My jaw is a little sore, but I'm okay.

This year is starting the best way possible.

That's the best way possible.

I guess.

I guess.

So this was some Italian referendum?

Do we know what it was about?

It's funny.

I read the song.

It doesn't matter, does it?

It doesn't even.

I don't think it explains what the actual vote was.

They were like, I'm not even going to toss that detail in here.

And how do you prove whether or not you voted no on the referendum?

I think you just said

she cares.

Wow.

So Instagram comments.

The

one person commented there were 51 people at the Rome event.

Many replies from people saying that they want photographic proof of this.

One who claimed said he was there said he it was very discreet, that he had to hand over his phone prior to entering.

No photos or videos were allowed.

Let's see.

She is starting a 10-city tour.

Rome was just the first stop.

She said she's just doing it to prove that she's a woman of her word.

Well, I mean, this is the big asterisk here, which is really, I mean, upsetting.

I mean, it's the problem that everybody has with politics.

She promised every one of the 19 million people, men who voted for this.

And what she's saying now is, My jaw is sore.

I would like to get to a million.

Well, that's 5% of what you promised.

You know, this is the type, this is the time where we're supposed to stand up for our principles.

And people are just sick of being let down.

Wait a minute, you said you were going to do this.

Now you're only doing 5% of it.

I mean, it's an incredibly disappointing thing.

And it shows that she's not a person of her word.

She said she does.

While she was in Rome, she did have to ask sometimes for a timeout.

She said,

I decide whether the guy has to wear a condom or not.

This is the problem here, too, by the way, in case you happen to be in Italy and taking part in this.

You should decide to use the condom.

Just so we can...

Are you taking away man's rights?

If she's deciding to use the condom, you should decide to use the condom.

She said one man came in and started to cry, saying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I I can't go through with it.

I'm just too shy.

Jeffy.

She said, I did my best for a couple of minutes, but he went away because he didn't feel comfortable.

I wonder why.

I mean, that's kind of sad.

Just because you're receiving oral sex because of something you voted for with no one, someone you've never met before, and it doesn't really work out.

What's a shock?

And somebody who you're just standing in line for?

Why would that be?

Something that would.

Wow.

Okay.

So I just threw this in today because I thought if you think we have hit the bottom of the barrel, uh-uh, we've got a long way to go.

Yeah, we've got Madonna's got to follow through.

Madonna's, she's got to follow through.

Yeah, and then she's then, no.

Nothing would make me happier if she said she was following through and then just had crickets throughout an auditorium of people waiting for her.

A giant zilch shows up.

Aries, like, Madonna's in there.

She'll do it on anybody.

Ooh.

Oh, no, thank you.

And this is a big change.

Is she going to be wrapped in a giant condom?

She'll do it on anybody.

A big change from the rest of her life

before there just was no vote.

All right.

From the Daily Mail, an exclusive today.

And by the way, if you want to hear our talk on Gorsuch, we just did two hours of it.

And just go to Glennbeck.com and go to the bottom of the page, the audio section, and you'll see it.

Hour one, hour two today,

all of it that you can possibly handle and more.

And some surprising surprising things that we had to say.

From the Daily Mail.

It was late in the evening on January 12th, 1967.

Three men were laboring over the body of a psychology professor, James Bedford, who had just died from kidney cancer at the age of 72.

But while the manner of Bedford's death in a bed in a hospital in Glendale, California was not unusual, what happened next certainly was.

Bedford was about to become the world's first

cryopreserved human being and now lies suspended in liquid nitrogen in a vault in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Although the 72-year-old said before his death that he didn't expect to be revived, scientist Robert Nelson, one of the trio who carried out the preservation process, says he's confident that Bedford will one day live again.

When we froze Bedford,

man had never been on the moon.

There had never been a heart transplant.

There was no GPS, no cell phones.

Now, Nelson, 80, said in an interview, they have all of the pictures of it happening at the time.

Who knows what the next 50 years is going to bring?

I think there is hope that nanotechnology will bring him back and it will exist sooner rather than later.

It's about to be set into a film starring Paul Rudd and will follow his life, blah, blah, blah.

It does have its darker moments, not least the 1979 court case, which saw the doctor sued for hundred thousand dollars by some of the families of those he treated after he ran out of money to service his california cryogenic vault and left their bodies to decompose

see that's that's my fear is you know you get frozen and you know i thought you i didn't think you could die i thought you you had to do it you know while you were still breathing your last breath and so i always thought you know what'll happen to me is they'll freeze me and then it'll run out of money and then I'll wake up trapped in this vault and I'll be like, help, help.

And then I'll have that feeling of being trapped in the coffin and then I take my last breath from cancer.

So it's never sounded appealing to me, but maybe that's just me.

He talks this, this article goes on and it talks about how the first patients were done.

Now listen to this.

Bedford's journey began with an ice bath, followed by being stuffed.

into a styrofoam foam box temporarily stored in an LA garage.

This doesn't sound good.

Along with Nelson, a retired electrician who never finished high school and an Italian biologist and a chemist of Santa Barbara, California began working on the psychologist moments after he was pronounced dead.

So if you were introducing me to my team and I'm like,

okay, so who's gonna do this?

Well, I got this retired electrician over here.

He thinks he can build a box or something for you.

It's not filling me with a lot of confidence.

As a result, Bedford spent his first two weeks in suspended animation, stashed in

a California Canyon garage belonging to two pothead friends of Nelson's, and the body arrived in the back of a pickup truck.

What?

Wow.

I had friends who lived in California,

which is the hippie, in the area, which is the hippie capital of Los Angeles.

At the time, everyone out there smoked pot, and I had these two pothead friends of mine called Sandra Stanley Stanley and Shelby Dasinski, who I love dearly.

I called them up and said, Hey, I have a problem.

I need your help.

Sandra said, What?

Well, I have this frozen guy and no place to put him, and it's going to be two or three weeks before I can move him.

She said, okay,

let us think about it.

She hung up.

She called back and she said, I just talked to Shelby.

And he said, hey, what are friends for?

Well, I don't know.

Pat, I just want to ask you, we've been friends for 30 years.

If you call me and say, hey, I've got a problem, I've got a body I need to stash in your garage, it'll be a two weeks before I can get it out.

You're not going for that?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think that's reasonable request.

I think that goes beyond the, hey, what are friends for kind of thing?

Yeah, it does.

Yeah, maybe just.

I couldn't disagree more.

Right.

So here we were going through this canyon along these incredible windy roads with a frozen doctor in the back of my pickup truck.

It was crazy.

I look back on it now and think, oh my gosh, what was I thinking?

Would that even be legal?

So for two weeks, the guy is dead and just put on ice in a styrofoam box.

Yeah.

That's not cryogenically frozen.

No, no, no.

He's dead.

No, no.

No, no, no.

They put him on ice, but it did say that they it goes on to say, and maybe we can get to it on the way back ⁇ that

he took ⁇ they took the body and they took the blood out and they put

some sort of antifreeze in him.

Okay, well, that'll work.

Okay, then that's fine, I'm sure.

Well, that's how they do it.

That's what the chemist was there.

They filled him with some sort of...

I mean, that's how they do it.

Yeah, some sort of...

Is there an actual company that does this?

Yeah, there is now.

Yeah, but it had to start somewhere.

It started in this garage.

Like, you know, look.

Wow.

Apple started in a garage.

Yeah.

That's true.

Is it possible that he was only mostly dead?

No, he was actually dead.

He was all dead.

He was actually dead.

He was all dead.

I'm sorry, but I don't think.

He's not coming back.

He's not coming back.

Nope.

He's not coming back.

And wouldn't it be horrible?

You die, and if we're right,

and you die, and your soul goes up to heaven, and you're up in heaven, you're like, oh, this is so, this is sweet.

And all of a sudden, 50 years on earth go by, and you're sucked back into your body, be like, oh, crap.

Are you kidding me?

I don't think that's something that I'm looking forward to.

No, I don't think it's something that can happen either.

Yeah.

But let's say this guy was a really bad guy and he was on that endless lake.

How do you describe it, Pat?

That endless lake of fire.

Where you're continually burning but are never consumed.

Exactly right.

If you're there and they bring you back to life.

Yeah, that'd be

that'd be a little bit better.

What?

You moved my body to Phoenix?

What's wrong with you guys?

All right, our sponsor, this half hour, is Pro Flowers.

Make this year the year you don't procrastinate on getting your Valentine's Day gift.

You have to do it right.

Can you take a shot of in the studio, if you're watching TV, of the roses?

Now, they have been there for about

eight days.

They were sitting in

Michelle's office in the box for two days.

I put them there last Friday, and I don't even know if I put water in them.

Go down.

Is there water even in those?

And look, they still look beautiful.

And no petal has fallen off.

They're set in a box in Michelle's office.

And then they went into our studio.

And I know I didn't put water in that vase.

Somebody else did that.

And they're still opening up.

Flowers anyplace else don't do that.

The reason why these last so long is because

Pro Flowers cuts them at the order.

Then they ship them directly to you.

So they don't, they're not shipped to a warehouse, then to

trucked over, you know, over ground to a store or to a florist or to your grocery store, have somebody arrange them, then put them in

the refrigerator there waiting for you to pick them up.

All that time is when they should be at your house.

They are at your house with Pro Flowers.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I I really want to get to ESPN.

ESPN on ESPN crime.

There's an amazing story that we have to get to.

But we also want to go back and look at Nancy Pelosi.

Something else that was said to Nancy Pelosi yesterday that is worth reporting on.

There are over 300 cities in this country that are sanctuary cities.

Hold on just a second.

Is this Charlie Brown?

Does that sound like Charlie Brown?

Is this a kid, Pat?

This is the mother of

a person who was killed by an illegal alien.

This is a mom?

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

So she's cold or something.

She might be sick like I am.

She was killed by an undocumented immigrant, Pat.

She wasn't, but her son was.

And you're not only choosing to disavow the law, but you're adding sanctuary to people who can come there and disavow the law.

In 2010, one of the illegals slaughtered my son.

He tortured him.

He beat him.

He tied him up like an animal.

And he set him on fire.

And I am not a one-story mother.

We have to start giving American families first.

This is not

bad to not put Americans first.

You know, we have families that fought and died for this country.

How do you reconcile in your head about allowing people to disavow the law.

And the second part of my question is

if you need to go to them tonight and line up your babies, as you say, and your grandbabies, which one of them could you look in their eyes today

and tell them that they're

expendable

for another foreign person to have a nicer life?

Which one would you like to say you, my child, are expendable for someone else to come over here and not follow the law and have a nicer life?

Well,

again, I

commend you for sharing your story.

I can't even imagine the pain.

No, I can't even imagine.

There's nothing, I'm sure, that can compare to the griefs that you have.

And so I pray for you.

I pray for you.

And again, we all pray that none of us has to experience what you've experienced.

So thank you for channeling your energy to help prevent something like that from happening.

But I do want to say to you that in our sanctuary cities, our people are not disobeying the law.

These are

abiding citizens.

How do you know?

And

the point of sanctuary cities is that the police, if you're stopped and doing something, that's how you're found.

You can't even ask.

That's how you're found.

It's not like people are going door to door.

It's that police can't ask if you're doing something wrong.

And if you're in jail,

you're not being sent back and deported.

That's the point of sanctuary cities.

Back in just a minute.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Glad you're here from Los Angeles, the Glenn Beck Program.

Two days after the NBA countdown, anchor

Sage Steel.

Do you guys know who this is?

Yeah, she's awesome.

Okay.

Posted a complaint on Instagram about being inconvenienced by protesters at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Well, radio host Dan

LeBottard.

LeBotard, I believe.

Labatard.

Let loose on his fellow ESPN personality.

He is of Cuban heritage.

He went on ESPN radio and ripped into Steele, calling her comments the height of privilege.

I, as the son of exiles, look at this and I'm like, what the hell are you talking about?

Because what she said said was, I was inconvenienced by the protesters.

That's the height of privilege.

And so once you start opening that portal, you get to ESPN on ESPN crime.

Steele's controversial post was a picture of the crowds gathered outside of LAX to protest Donald Trump's travel ban on people from seven predominantly Muslim countries.

It was accompanied by a caption that began, so this is why thousands of us dragged luggage nearly two miles to get to LAX, but still missed our flights.

She went on later on Twitter to defend herself.

Now let me let me tell you something.

I've never understood this.

Why are you making the people who might support you miserable?

Thank you.

I don't understand that.

You make me miss my flight.

You make me drag my luggage for two miles.

You make me, so I can't get an Uber.

I can't get get anything.

You block traffic.

You block traffic.

How am I supposed to line up with you?

Oh, yeah, I want to line up with those people who just were punching me in the face.

Doesn't make any sense.

It makes sense.

It's a big tactic.

It's a big tactic of protests.

And I remember when SEIU did that, they came to Houston.

Oh, yeah, with the garbage.

Yes, they were having a janitorial dispute from the Downtown Janitorial Association or whatever it was.

And they would dump garbage in the intersections of all the main streets and screw up traffic for miles and you're like what how is that helping doing why are you doing that that's gonna make me be on your side now

no

so weird bizarre really bizarre does anybody understand that thinking because well i think i mean if you protest in a field where no one sees you or maybe just notices a crowd it doesn't it doesn't really affect their consciousness and i think their their thought is if you really disrupt their day, you're going to have no choice but to think about their strife.

I'm going to think about it in a bad way, though.

I am, I am, too.

You snowed me up.

That's not going to help you.

No.

Even if you say that.

Because especially in California, you would think with California that

there would be

a lot of people that are on your side going to LAX.

Absolutely.

I agree with you 110%.

I don't, if I've dragged my luggage two miles and I've missed my flight, I come out and I am enraged by this guys.

The tea party would have done that and made my life a living hell.

I would be out front of those guys going all the time going, what the hell is wrong with you guys?

I agree with you.

Are you insane?

You've just wrecked my life for the weekend.

Thank you.

There's no way I would have ever called myself a tea party or stood with them if they would have been destroying my life.

Glenn, what you're saying right now is the height of privilege.

Right.

I will say.

Right.

Right.

And you know what?

There's nothing wrong with

enjoying the life that we all lead, and that is not having an inconvenient airport.

Well, we don't leave.

I don't live in that life.

I don't know what life you live in.

No,

I'm not by airport standards in the rest of the world.

Right.

I mean, and the truth is, to make it worse, which is already a tough experience to get through the airport and deal with all that nonsense, to make it worse is terrible.

And you know what?

Every freaking person in America would have the same observation as Sage Steele had if you had to carry your luggage for two miles.

That is an infuriating thing.

It's got nothing to do with whether you believe or don't believe in the policy from Donald Trump.

It's got nothing to do with that.

This guy obviously knows that.

And, you know, Sage Steele, her background, her father was the first black player on Army's varsity team.

That's the life of privilege her background is.

I mean, can you imagine going through that era?

You're the first black player to ever play.

He went through all sorts of racial stuff

when he was younger.

This is not a person who's coming and doesn't understand the strife of people who would deal with these situations.

And to sit here and call her privileged because she wants to freaking walk through the airport and

not have her

forward progress blocked by people, which is, I mean, if it's not...

illegal.

I mean, I know that it's not illegal to protest, obviously.

It's guaranteed by our Constitution.

But it is illegal to stop people from moving forward in the direction that they're trying to go.

You just can't impeach people.

You can't do it with privilege.

No, but I don't think it's that.

I think it is that they were,

you couldn't get a cab.

The cabs wouldn't take you.

They tried to do this in New York.

That's why Uber got in trouble.

Because Uber said,

they put a deal out and said, no price gouging.

No price gouging because all of the cab drivers said, we're not going to drive anybody to the airports in New York.

And so Uber got in problem because they put out a quick

tweet to everybody in the New York area.

Uber available for rides to the airport and no price gouging, same low price.

And so they got a lot of business.

And the left came out and said, how dare you

support Donald Trump?

How dare you work against the protesters?

And so they folded immediately and said, no, no,

we're going to hire 10,000 of these refugees when they come in.

They weren't, they had no reason to apologize.

They just felt that if you're not providing rides, we want you to know we will.

I mean, the left where

they bash you unless you comply.

And this is no different than the policies that they enact most times.

They think it's going to be good, but it ends in misery.

They think these protests are going to be good, but how many people were miserable because of that?

Probably a lot.

And can we just make the point that Dan Labetard sucks?

The show is nonsense and he sucks.

Yeah.

Is that the one where the jacket is on?

Yes.

Yes, yes.

So bad.

So bad.

So bad.

Every time it comes on, I switch from ESPN to anything else.

It's hard to believe that's not the constant.

I mean, you know, look, everyone probably turns this off, too.

I'm not saying that.

I mean, they look at it.

Certainly if they look at it visually, they're like, God, what are those guys doing on television?

I get it.

But that show is inexplicable.

It is.

Inexplicable.

It's like two guys sitting around a table.

In between them, however, is the dad, the dude, the dad, for whatever reason.

With a heavy accent and

barely speaks English.

It's really weird.

It's the weirdest, worst show I've ever seen.

And that's saying something when you got a couple of those other shows on ESPN.

Can I ask you what is happening to ESPN's ratings?

Well, they're going down like everything else.

I don't know.

It could be a lot of things.

I mean, I think that might be part of it.

But in reality, the ratings are going down like, you know, because there's so many differences in where people are going.

People are cutting the cord.

They're going away from cable.

They're still pretty well positioned.

They do very well on social.

And, you know, again, one of the only things that you can really, in this world of on-demand, one of the only things protected from that environment is live sports.

I mean, it really is, it's a magical thing because I could tell you, I don't care how many times you can give me Roku and you can give me Apple TV, you can give me all that stuff.

If you can't get me the live sports I want, I have to go where it is.

I have to.

It's too big of a part of American life.

And, you know, unless you're Glenn, and I just don't know if Showtunes matter, if they're live or on tape.

You know, I think.

Oh, yes.

Oh, really?

Oh, yes.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, yeah.

I just, I'm not in that world enough, but I think that it is one of those things, man.

And it's why, you know, like DirecTV will pay multiple billions of dollars for exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket because they know people have,

they have to go there.

They're going to watch.

Yeah,

the future for television is live events.

I mean,

that's why NBC has been doing the, you know, hey, a marionette show live.

The sound of music with dogs live.

That's true.

That's true.

They're going back because live events and they're trying to find besides sports what live events

will work.

They're doing that with a commercial during the Super Bowl this year, right?

Snickers, I think, is

trying to pull off a live commercial.

And

no way

can they make that happen?

I don't know, Glenn.

I could see there could be some problem.

When you're spending $5 million for 30 seconds, I'd say it's a tad risky.

But it would be interesting if they screw it up.

But, I mean, even when you're streaming live programming, which you can get an NFL Sunday ticket through like your PlayStation, for example, but you're getting that still through the internet is a little bit delayed.

Yeah.

You know, it's really difficult to put that together.

And you might be subscribing to 65 services to get it done, too, which is also frustrating.

So, I mean, that is...

They might be misunderstanding why we like live programming.

We like it because it's football.

Yes.

Not live programming.

We don't know

music because it's a lot of people.

You like the sound of music just as much as you like the Green Bay Packers.

Not quite.

I mean, it's really close, but not quite.

Yeah.

Am I going to watch Man of La Mancha because it's live?

No.

No, I'm not.

Now this.

Don't be one of the millions of Americans whose personal information is compromised

when right now,

this tax season, tax season right now,

and in the last, let me give you last year, tax identity thieves cost the taxpayers $4.1 billion.

So our government paid out $4.1 billion

to tax identity thieves.

People who had gone fishing with a PH and

tried to get your social security number, pretended maybe that they were your bank.

They grab your ID, they

beat you to the IRS filing, and they get your tax refund.

$4.1 billion.

Do not

fall prey to this.

The people that can help you, now nobody can stop all identity theft or monitor all transactions, but LifeLock is the best in the business.

They take protecting your identity seriously.

Memberships start at $9.99 a month plus a sales tax.

The Glen Beck Program.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

Donald Trump said, I'm a man of my word, and I kept my word.

And he did.

And we did not see that one coming.

And I told you that one of the reasons why we couldn't support Donald Trump is we just didn't think that he would actually

nominate and then support with the full vigor that it's going to be required to push that selection through, that we wouldn't end up with,

you know, another Roberts at best.

And so far, part one, he has done and has kept his word.

Now,

let's see if he holds true to it all the way.

I'm fine with Gorsuch.

There's some problems

with him, but I'm fine with it and think that's great.

And so we were wrong

on

what

President Trump would do.

And we apologize for doubting,

but I think we had good reason to doubt.

But we were wrong.

So that's good.

Again, you just try to maximize your chances for something like this to happen.

It's something that one of the reasons we wanted Ted Cruz to be president of the United States is that he would...

select somebody who is a constitutionalist, an originalist, to the Supreme Court.

I thought he was a great, there was a great chance.

And I think if he were to have won, he probably would have done something like this, too.

So the best part is, we both, everyone who was in that primary and fought so hard, you're getting what we want here.

And I didn't think it was going to happen with Trump, but he proved us wrong on that.

And I'm thrilled to be wrong.

This is a great thing

for everybody who cares about the freaking Constitution, which I think there's nine of us left now, so it's good.

And ever since November 9th, we've been rooting for this guy.

Have we not?

Oh, yeah.

I mean,

we want him to succeed.

We want him to be a good president.

That doesn't mean we excuse him.

No, but we.

And

we won't accept things that are

beneath the office of the president, and we won't accept things that are unconstitutional.

Right.

But we want him to be successful.

And we have reached out.

We, of course, didn't get a response, but that's okay.

We don't expect it.

We weren't there for him.

And that's the way he, you know,

he settles scores like that.

a he's a

transactional kind of guy.

Nothing wrong with that.

I don't agree with it, but that's that's fine.

We weren't there for him.

He's not going to be there, you know.

He thinks maybe that we want him there for us.

We don't.

We're fine.

I don't need to be

friends with the president.

I don't need to worship him and I don't want to hate him.

I want him to be the president of the United States and be constitutional, and I'll support him in every way as he follows that path.

As he doesn't, I'll stand against him.

Yeah, and we're good.

We're two weeks into this presidency here.

It's not time to

put him above Reagan.

There's been some really good things and some really bad things.

However, again, that's better than I expected.

A mix would be great if that's where this ends up.

We're only two weeks in, though.

We still need to see.

We're still going to judge each individual thing based on what we believe to be true with all the evidence to support that.

And, you know, right now, I mean, Gorsuch is a good example.

You know, a lot of people were saying, well, you know,

you guys said he would never nominate a Supreme Court justice.

Many of those same people said we would never say anything positive about Donald Trump.

So both of us would be wrong on a day like today.

And it's important to understand that because, you know, we promised you that we would do these things, that if it comes down and Trump does great things

and he deserves to be supported,

then we will do it.

Because

that's what I want out of a show.

That's the main reason I do it.

Because I want to be able to sleep at night, and that's what I want out of a show.

I don't listen to these shows to be cheered on.

I want to be able to be challenged when I need to be challenged to think about things

and also to get the truth from the person who's speaking.

And if we can't hit that, I feel like there's no point in doing this, even if I don't like it.

Even though I don't like it, I have more respect for people that I strongly disagree with that will actually tell me straight to my face what they think than anybody who pretends to be my friend and really isn't, you know, pretends to agree with me, but doesn't behind my back.
