I want to tell you about our promo, our spotlight sponsor, first before we begin.
It is American Giant.
American Giant makes great clothing, makes the kind of clothing that was made here in America
when I grew up, when denim was really denim, when clothing meant something, made in America
meant something, what everything was cut and stitched and sewn and packaged all here in America.
Everything was made here in America. The only company that I know of that does that now is American
Giant. And that's because he started about 10 years ago. There was a factory that was about to go under
and they decided, this can't continue. We have got to rescue manufacturing because by rescuing
manufacturing, you rescue your towns, your families, and everything else.
So they created American Giant.
And American Giant now has been making really great American clothing.
Everybody on the staff wears some American Giant.
We love it.
We urge you to buy American at American-Giant.com slash Glenn.

helping rebuild America.

This is the Glenn Beck.
Well, hello, America.
Welcome to the program.
A day after Iowa, and not a lot of surprises.
A few surprises for people like Nikki Haley and CNN,
they were weeping in the control room yesterday.
Huh, sucks to be you, doesn't it?
but not a lot of surprises.
But I do want to say for everybody who is on the left is freaking out,
oh my gosh, it might mean another Donald Trump term.
It's going to be the end of the world.
Let me just put this into perspective.
You have Donald Trump on one hand, or you have this on the other hand.
I see our college students at that.
And let me just tell you, I love Gen Z.
I don't know if it's something, you know, I love Gen Z.
So, okay, for the older adult, this is going to be a humbling thing I'm about to share with you.
If someone is 18 years old today, they were born in 2005.
Oh, my.
Oh, yeah, check that out.
Think about that.
Check that out.
So if somebody is 18 today, they were born 18 years ago, and that is so unusual, but she loves Gen Z.
almost as much as he loves Venn diagrams.
So America, those are your choices.
Which one do you think is going to help us survive?
Steve Dase is coming up in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
If you are living in pain, have you had enough yet?
Or have you had enough yet?
What is the level of your pain?
I know people that have tried relief factor and their pain level was 10.
Some of them reduced their pain.
Some of them got rid of their pain.
Some of them didn't.
But at least relief factor is up front about this.
This is something that you can try for your pain.
And about 70% of the people that try it go on to order more month after month.
It's 100% drug-free, developed by doctors to reduce.
or eliminate pain.
Over a million people have tried it.
Will you just try it?
I know it sounds weird that this, you know,
natural thing you're hearing on the radio is like,
no, that's never gonna work.
I know, because that's the way I felt.
Relief Factor.
Try the three-week quick start.
1995 comes with relief factors.
Feel better, your money back guarantee.
Relieffactor.com, 1-800 for relief.
Steve Dace, host of the Steve Dase program,
or Steve Dase Show.
as he likes to call it, and the author, co-author of Rise of the Fourth Reich.
Steve?
Steve?
Did he?
This is an unfortunate thing.
He is there.
Fourth Reich got him.
Yeah, Fourth Reich.
Wow.
After all this time, sad ending for our friend Steve.
Did you see the New York Times mentioned Steve from last night?
I did see that, yes.
Yeah.
I actually had a, hold on one second.
Let's see if I could find it.
They were talking about how Steve came out on stage last night for Desantis and interviewed DeSantis, who he did correctly predict would come in second as opposed to Nikki Haley.
Yeah.
Yeah, it said Steve Dase, the conservative Iowa radio host is on stage, introduced Ron DeSantis.
It feels like a bit of an alternate reality as he claims that DeSantis' second place finish has made the Republican nomination.
contest a two-person race.
Nikki Haley almost beat DeSantis here at Iowa where he was heavily favored and the road ahead is not kind.
That's from a New York Times reporter.
Yeah.
So where next is New Hampshire.
When is New Hampshire?
A week from today.
Week from today.
So that will be very telling because she's doing well.
But she, if you look, she was doing well in the more urban sections of, you know, the more urban sections of.
Iowa. If you look at the whole heat map of where she did well, it were very few spots. And that makes
sense to me that she does well where there's colleges, universities, or cities. We have Steve
Dase here. Hi, Steve. We're not good. Apparently we're having some technical difficulty.
Yes. She's standby. Of course, you're correct, Glenn. That is where she did well. And she, I think,
one one county where she was the only other person other than Trump that won a county in Iowa
by like one vote. But she goes to New Hampshire where she does have a chance, much better
chance than she had in Iowa. We talked about this yesterday and talked about how I, you know,
both expected that DeSantis would edge her out in Iowa. I think DeSantis did enough to keep going on
and see what happens next. She's going to obviously look to New Hampshire.
And if she can either win or come close in New Hampshire, hope to get a bump in her home state of South Carolina.
There's also Nevada mixed in there, which is a very strange situation this cycle.
But, you know, I don't know.
It's tough to see anybody in a normal circumstance having a chance after this.
Maybe there's something else to see.
And of course, there's always the possibility of, you know, some extra legal, you know, situation where they either throw them off the ballot or Trump.
off the ballot or they put him in prison or whatever.
That's always there as a possibility.
So this race will probably go out in some weird way for longer than it normally would.
Steve, I know that you were upset at the beginning because they called it so quickly for Donald Trump.
But it's really not a surprise when you are that far ahead.
I mean, he was, what, 29 points ahead?
Quite a victory for him.
It was a very impressive victory for the former president for sure.
I think there are two streams of thought coming out of this.
One, what it means for the primary and the other what it means for a general election.
But just real quick on the calling the election, I mean, guys, the most blown up, my phone has been this entire caucus cycle,
was people from precincts around the state who had not even voted yet getting text alerts.
And regardless of how you apply that to last night's results, because it seemed like a fait accompli,
the same media that maybe you like doing that right now.
If you're one of those people, my guy won, so he was playing one by 30, so it doesn't matter.
Understand those same media, they're going to do that to your guy in 294 days.
All right?
Yeah.
So it's not, so hang on just a second, though.
It's not that you were saying this is a conspiracy theory.
You were just saying, let's wait until at least the polls are closed in this case,
until everybody has had their word in the caucus.
Yeah, I mean, you know, you and I sat there on, on 20, 2016 or 2020 on that election, I glenn, you and I, to like three in the morning. And you heard me yelling at Fox about what they were doing in Arizona and everything else. There's no way they could be calling this. This is the same principle at stake, you know. And so I think it's a terrible idea to have media. AP, as you know, is the mouth of the corporate media river, all right? To have the Associated Press calling races. And then Fox on top of that before people have actually voted.
It is a terrible precedent to set that I promise they will use against us in a broader setting in 294 days if we let them.
Well, maybe the AP misunderstood that, you know, because it is only one letter away from what they usually call early and often, and that is racist.
Maybe they just didn't hear that the T was gone, and we were calling races this time.
Steve, tell me about DeSantis and the road forward now.
I think if I were sitting with him one-on-one, this is what would be my challenge to him moving forward.
I mean, he peeled away 20% of the president's base because I think we all know he's not getting the moderates and the liberals.
So he peeled away 20% of the president's base.
His, and you're right, he did enough to punch a ticket out if you're as Stu just said.
The challenge that he has moving forward is the challenge that he's always had in this.
race, which is that his voters are the same as Trump's voters.
Yes.
And so while there's this like Twitter mythology that DeSantis' brand has been destroyed,
his favorable is of all his have remained very high and very high with Trump voters
throughout this cycle, as this moves to more of a mono-emano now, and now he has to more directly
challenge Trump in ways that he has started to do in the last few weeks.
What I will be fascinated to see, and I really don't know the answer, is how much
patience and tolerance, will those voters have for that?
Will that hurt his favorables moving forward?
Or do they actually want that?
I don't know the answer.
And so that's the thing that I would tell him is be meticulous about your favorable.
You are 45 years old.
You're not going anywhere.
You're the governor of Florida.
You're going to be there for another term on a massive stage,
taking names or kicking ass or taking names and or taking ass and kicking names to quote
Guardians of the Galaxy. Okay? So, you know, as long as people, your voters are saying,
hey, yeah, challenge the patriarch here and let's see what happens, then go for it. But the
minute that those voters say to you, all right, this thing has run its course, that's where
you need to be mindful of. That's what I would tell him. Yeah, I would think that you're very
close to that. I mean, I think the time for DeSantis to do that has almost passed in the minds of
many voters. I mean, there's a lot of people.
that still would love to see DeSantis because we'd get a second term out of it.
But Donald Trump has really established a dynasty here.
And if his poll numbers hold up in other states, if he continues, if he repeats this by South Carolina, it's done.
It's done.
I don't disagree with that.
And I think if you put the Wonder Woman lasso of truth around that, probably Ron would feel that way.
as well. But I do, here's the thing, though, and Stu just pointed this out, this is not a typical cycle. We have lots of ancillary things happening here. And that's the one thing that, you know, who knows what comes out of the Supreme Court appeals between now, I think South Carolina's February 24th. Who knows what comes out of these things? What gets attempted with these things. Those are the wild cards there, but barring things of that nature, you're not in control of any of that.
I don't disagree with that.
So Nikki Haley, looking at Nikki Haley's numbers, she did well where Democrats usually do well.
And she seems wildly out of step.
No, I shouldn't say that.
She seems in step with the same people that would like Mitch McConnell or Lindsey Graham.
And, you know, there, I guess, is a place for that in the, you know, in the Republican
party, I wish it wasn't the one that is in control in Washington, but it currently is. But she's a
tea party person. Is this just strategic for her? Do you think she believes this?
I think, well, you, the answer to your question is yes. For those people, everything is
strategic. I remember being at CPAC one year, and Mitch McConnell came in waving an AR-15 and the
crowd roared during the tea party years. I mean, you know, we used to use the term rhino.
The term I like to use, you know, to me, Chris Christie's a rhino.
A rhino is someone who isn't good enough to be on team Democrat, so in a blue state,
so they have to join team Republican where the bench is then.
A republicrat is someone who can get elected in a red state.
They know the talking points we want to hear, and so they can get elected doing that.
And then when they go in there, they can govern in a centrist or center-left way as they prefer.
That's what Nicky is. That's what McConnell is.
That's why, you know, John Cornyn in your state.
That's why we have all these guys in red states.
They know what the lingo is.
They know the vernacular.
And then they know that when they go to Washington, we won't pay attention.
But she doesn't have a base in this party.
I mean, you mentioned what her, I mean, she beat, the reason it was, it was closer for
second than I thought.
She beat DeSantis among crossover voters 32 to 8.
32 to 8.
Wow.
So there were not nearly as many Democrats that voted here as we saw even in 2016.
team, but she cleaned up amongst those people. That's, that's her base. So from a primary
standpoint, she doesn't have a base moving forward. What I think will be fascinating for her
is what happens in New Hampshire now in the next week or so. Does she actually challenge the
president head on, or is, which is my theory, the real goal here is to get her on the ticket. I think
you saw the Koch brother pour $70 million into her race, almost like a dowry to say to the Trump
people, hey, we know your cash strap. If you put her on the ticket and let the corporatist wing of the
party become reassended, there's a lot more money where that comes from. And I think to my friends
over in the inner sanctum of Maga, I think you're going to have a real fight on your hands
to keep her off of the ticket. And I think that would be a terrible outcome for the corporatist wing of
the party to reemerge just at the time that we have them pretty much buried. I think to let them
reemerged through Nikki Haley, I think would be a terrible outcome for us, and I don't think we should let that happen.
However, that is the role of the vice president traditionally to give the, to give the front candidate extra breathing room and grab some people that he or she may not be able to grab.
I happen to agree with you.
They're about extinguished, and the last thing I want is somebody who is in bed with big Pentagon,
and Big War and everything else.
I don't want a Lindsey Graham on that ticket,
but wouldn't it be smart for Donald Trump to win
to be able to gather some of those people
who may not vote for him,
just may not vote at all?
His biggest worry, if you look at the exit polls last night,
and if we go to the general election side of this,
the two things that I would be concerned about.
Number one, I told you yesterday, Glenn, turnout was going to be low.
It was way lower than I expected.
I did not expect a 41% drop.
Now, I'm hearing, hang on just a second.
I'm hearing all over television last night that these people came out and droves.
They weren't afraid of anything.
That's not true.
His people did.
His people did.
You know, but his most hardcore people did.
But a 41% drop in overall turnout, I would like to say that was really the weather.
It still is terrible here.
But my caveat there is all.
all of last year in special and off-year elections, we underperformed badly.
Our, I mean, Democrats outperformed demographics in special and off-year elections last year
around the country by an average of nine points.
And so I want to see what, I can't think of a primary cycle in American history,
where a party had a diminished turnout in a primary cycle and then had a successful general.
So I think that is a number we all need to look forward to moving forward.
Now, a lot of that, now, here's another caveat.
A lot of it could be a lot of our people like, well, what's the point in voting?
The guy's so way ahead.
So I'll just see you in November.
That's a possibility, okay?
But a 41% drop, especially when it was a nine point drop with white evangelicals,
I'm just telling you right now, you cannot as a Republican win a presidential election
with depressed white evangelical turnout no matter how many of them you get.
So those are two things I'd watch.
And then the other thing that I saw on the exits that concerned me for November is, you know,
Trump was at 41% in the foremost populous counties in Iowa, 10 points below is state average.
That indicates, again, weakness in the suburbs.
That's been our biggest problem.
You know, Trump has helped open up the rural part of the country.
Iowa is one of those places.
In an exchange, though, we've lost suburbs the last several cycles in a row.
And that's what I would be concerned about moving forward in a general election.
And those are the two things I'd be looking at in the future states.
The political campaign day number one, it is officially begun.
yesterday and American hostages held in Gaza were at day 102. You want to make that change?
Get out and vote in this election cycle. We're going to continue with Steve Dates here in just a second.
First, ever since the invention of email, cybercriminals have been coming up with new and ingenious ways of using it to separate people from their money and their personal information.
And the scams vary, you know, advertisements of bogus contests to, you know, delivery.
companies calling up and say, verify your personal information so we could deliver this.
Yeah, well, there's scams.
And it's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft morph all the time and
affect your life.
Your personal information gets exposed so often make it so dangerously easy for a cyber
criminal to steal your identity.

You know, I think if the person who comes in second in the next three or the next two, you know, up in New Hampshire and South Carolina, I think should start making the case, because I don't think this would hack off, I mean, it would make Donald Trump probably angry, but it wouldn't hack off his supporters.
And that is, look, we don't know what's going to happen. We have to have a number two.
Number two is never important in this.
It is this time.
And, you know, I know that might cut his numbers down just a little bit,
but I don't think he's in danger of losing those states.
But having a number two, I think is critical because we don't know what these people are going to do.
I think you made a very important point in what I tried to make throughout the course of last year
that factored into my own DeSantis endorsement,
because I can promise you if we don't have a number two
and the zero-sum solution that the Democrats have been plotting
for a year and a half comes to fruition,
what the GOP, Rona Romney-McDaniels system is going to give us
is not going to be a Vivekwam-Swami or Ron DeSantis.
It's going to be a Nikki Haley kind of candidate.
Okay, that's why.
It will.
All right.
Thank you, Steve.
Appreciate it.

We'll tell you about some of those things next hour that everybody else is shoving under the carpet.

You know, Bidenomics is just killing us.
And if you saw the exit polls last night,
the number of people that are just holding on
and those who are falling far outnumber,
those who are doing well in this economy,
if that is you falling behind.
And, I mean, sometimes there's nothing you can do,
but use your credit cards.
What are you going to do?
Then you put yourself in the situation of,
I can't pay the credit cards.
The interest rate is so high, and now I might lose my house.
If you're in this situation, I beg you, please, before you lose your house, call American
financing.
Even if you think, I'm not going to qualify, just try, please.
American financing, they have so many different ways of helping you, and by taking your
credit cards, high interest, and getting them down into the fives or sixes, and then being able

Call American Financing 800, 906 2440, 1-800-906 2440, or Americanfinancing.net.
The Blaze TV depends on you.
I came up with this idea before Netflix, before HBO, before anyone was streaming online.
Let's get out of the mainstream media and stream online.
And this is when buffering was happening. If you were one of the original supporters, you know.
It was impossible and insane, but I did it because I knew there would be a time when the mainstream media would completely burn itself to the ground.
And there needed to be voices that could only answer to you.
And this is where you come in. When we ask for your support, when we ask you to join us, we know there are so many things that are pressing on you economically right now.
but we are trying to do everything we can to make our service better and more informative to really show you what's going on.
And I tend to lean towards what's just over the horizon.
Colony Ridge is what's just over the horizon.
We just did a documentary series.
And so, you know, these are wildly expensive to do.
It's why most people don't do these documentaries who are, you know,
know, just online. They're very expensive to do because they cost a lot in research and then manpower
to put them together in a way that makes sense. The real story of Colony Ridge, which is a
community that will have eventually, I think, 150,000 residents, maybe up to 200,000 residents,
is in Liberty County, a very, very red county voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
Now we're importing all of these illegals.
Most of them don't speak English.
We don't know how many are citizens, how many are not.
But the guess is majority are not citizens.
And they've completely changed the makeup of this community.
We did a documentary on it because that's not really the story.
When you watch this documentary, understand that this is coming to your state,
to your hometowns.
This is what America
looks like five years
down the road. If we don't stop
this, it's
all totally legal.
It's just unethical and immoral
in my case, in my belief.
But you decide the documentary
is available for Blaze TV subscribers.
If you're not a Blaze TV subscriber,
please consider it. We would love for you to
join us. You just go to Blaze
Originals.com.
and use the promo code Colony Ridge, and you'll get a discount.
That'll give you the Blaze TV Plus subscription.
We're breaking another story at the top of next hour.
We have done extensive research.
I mean, like two years, three years of research now.
And in fact, we think one of our guys is actually going to be arrested at some point this month for his investigation on this.
It's totally legal.
but he has finally gotten the proof from the January 6 tapes that show this was a lie,
a total setup lie.
We'll tell you about that coming up at the top of next hour, so don't go anywhere.
And please join us at Blaze TV.
It's Blaze Originals.com.
Use the promo code, Colony Ridge, and Save.
Pat Gray joins us now from Packray Unleashed.
and Stu, I haven't really heard your analysis of last night.
So Pat and Stu are here.
Why don't we start with you, Pat?
Okay.
I went about like I, well, it went almost exactly as I predicted it.
I think that's a surprise to everybody that Donald Trump won.
But I knew.
Really?
You were the guy.
Yeah, I was the one.
He was the one naysayer in the crowds.
And I think Trump is going to win this thing.
I got the order exactly right up until
Ryan Binkley.
Yes.
Dang it.
Aista Hutchinson.
That is the most devastating story.
If you're A-Sah, are you going to continue in this charade?
Could you just tell us who Binkman?
Binkley?
You mean Ryan Binkley?
I mean Ryan Binkley?
I was just joking there.
It was funning you on that.
He's a Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex businessman.
Oh.
Pastor.
Right.
Yeah.
So wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Uh-huh.
He's from our hometown.
Yes, and we've never heard of it.
And we've never heard of it.
But he beat Asa Hutchinson.
We started out the morning by getting in touch with Steve Day saying,
Steve, who's Ryan Binkley?
He's like, I don't know.
That is a really sad story.
I mean, you know, Asa Hutchinson has been flying around the country, by himself,
coach flights, doing events with one person.
Yeah.
He's been on television, on the debates.
Yeah.
I don't know if that helps your cue score and people know who you are, but this other guy, Binkman, Binkley hasn't done any of those.
Binkley hasn't done any of that.
And the final, it was Binkley got 0.7%.
Yeah.
And Hutchinson got 0.2.
It wasn't even close.
He beat him by half a percent.
Hutchinson's incredible.
Barely, barely squeaked it out against Chris Christie, who dropped out of the race already.
Now, the poll that I saw, the poll that I saw, it said Chris Christie negative.1.
And I know that has to be an error.
Yeah, I think so.
But then again, maybe not.
Maybe not.
Maybe not.
I will say this.
I was happy to see DeSantis beat Haley.
Mm-hmm.
So, yeah.
I mean, that's what he had to do, right?
He had to.
The low bar he absolutely had to clear was not finishing third.
He talked about his ticket got punched out.
of the Hawkeye State.
And I think his ticket was,
I got to beat Nikki Haley at least.
He has to.
It would have been catastrophic for him.
It would have been immediately over.
And you know what's lost?
What's really bad is we have pitted DeSantis and Trump against each other.
I mean,
this is a contest,
but I would vote for either one of them.
And I think most Trump supporters would say that the same thing.
If Donald Trump were hit by a truck,
So, yeah.
Desantis would be the guy.
They're not going to Nikki Haley.
And that's the unfortunate thing.
I was really impressed with Donald Trump's speech, the tone of his speech last night.
You know, we all have to come together.
Yeah.
And he was nice about Haley.
He was nice.
Yeah, he was very kind and nice about that.
And one thing we haven't talked about is Vivek, which I think Vivek drops out.
remember he said he wasn't yesterday, but I figured he would.
That was, I think, to help Donald Trump in the long run because the Vivek people were also taking votes.
Not that Donald Trump needed them, but he was also taking votes away from Donald Trump.
I can't help but wonder if Vivek's entire candidacy was to run interference for Donald Trump.
That's what it seems like to me, because, you know, he was always loyal to Trump.
he really never said anything bad about him.
I think the worst thing he did was take that photo op with the supporters who had
Save Trump Vote Vivek.
And that pissed off Trump a little bit yesterday.
And I don't even know that that came from his campaign.
I think they might have just had that printed up on their own.
I don't know.
But it didn't sit well.
So let me ask you, save Trump vote Vivek.
I'm not sure I get the message from the T-shirt.
What the hell does that mean?
I think what it meant, you know, was basically, you know, Trump is going to be, everyone's going to be going to be going after him.
If you vote for Vivek, he's going to pardon Trump and if they, if they convict him of all these things.
That was, I mean, he made that pitch during the debates.
I mean, again, everyone's so sensitive in these times.
Like, the fact that he posed for a picture with a couple of people with a dumb message on their shirt.
Like, why?
He's been darn supportive.
He's been incredibly supportive.
I mean, honestly, at times, it's felt like he hasn't even been running for president.
And I don't even know what he was doing on the campaign trail.
There have been a couple of times in the debate where I'm like, Donald Trump doesn't have to be there.
Right.
Vivek's there.
And Vivek is saying that he's the greatest president of his lifetime.
It's like, well, why would I vote for you?
Right.
But oddly, one thing that's really an odd, odd complicating factor on this is I think there's an easy way to believe that Vivek was like, okay, I'm going to finish Iowa.
I did my piece.
I'll endorse Trump.
Hopefully I'll become the VP or get some other role.
and I've got a future in, you know, the manga movement, right?
I think that's a very easy, cynical way of looking at this.
The one thing that complicates that is his interview yesterday,
where he was more critical of Trump than I've seen him at any other point during the entire campaign.
He seemed completely convinced he was going to have this breakout moment with his ground game and everything else.
And of course, every politician says that, and it never happens.
But, you know, I don't know if he was really convinced of it because he sort of volunteered an anti-Trump argument
in the last hours, which was a bizarre moment yesterday.
We were talking about a little bit off the air,
but he immediately finishes forth and drops out
and endorses Trump in his concession speech.
Yeah.
I would hope that Donald Trump would pick him
as the vice president.
I mean, I think he would be.
I don't think so.
I will say it as.
I hope not.
You know, Trump does.
not take kindly to people who trashed him.
And she began trashing him, you know, when he was still in office.
Yeah.
She was trashing him.
He does have a way of getting over such things, though, with anyone who supports him.
All right.
But like he has, he's, Trump can get over that pretty quick.
I mean, you heard him yesterday.
He was like, you know, DeSantis and Nikki, great people love him.
We had a great contest.
We got to come together.
Like, he's already there because he thinks he's already won.
Right.
But there's a difference.
between Trump saying nice things about you and the Trump that trusts you and brings you into his
inner circle. There's a very big difference. I think that I will be surprised because I he does get
you're right. I mean, he brought her in after she was very anti-Trump in the 2016 election.
He brought her in for the UN ambassador gig. And they've gone back and forth, warming and cooling
to each other. But one thing I was thinking about, tell me if I'm wrong at this. I had this theory.
I was thinking about this when they were talking about the VP.
What's the one thing Donald Trump is going to try to cure from his last VP pick?
The one thing that if you think, if you ask Donald Trump about his vice president today, what would be the first thing he would bring up?
Loyalty.
The election.
The election.
Loyalty.
If there is a person who he's thinking about to name as a VP and that person would be someone he could see.
having that Mike Pence
know the Constitution is too important.
Again, I'm thinking from his perspective.
Oh, the Constitution's too important.
I'm not going to listen to you, Donald Trump, on this one.
If he thinks there's any chance that person's doing it,
he's not picking them.
I can't imagine him doing that again.
That's a good point.
I think he's going, I would lean you toward Vivek.
The vague or maybe, again, I don't know how he sees these people,
but Christy Noem or Stefanic or someone who would not,
Nikki Haley is not the type of person who's going to be like, you know what?
I'm just going to just, I'm just going to take whatever Trump wants.
And I think he's going to want someone after the Pence experience that he views that way.
Again, that's his view.
I don't think there's any chance he's going to pick someone who he thinks might do that again.
And Kerry Lake seems to be out.
Yeah, Carrie Lake doesn't seem to be up.
She would fit the profile.
But he said last night, you're going to make a great senator.
Yeah.
He's got to have somebody that can make a strong, intelligent case.
That's what he needs.
Somebody who looks stable and make the case.
Vivek makes the case better than anybody I've heard in a very, very long time.
Maybe the first politician that I've ever seen that could make the case and tear things apart and be accurate, maybe ever.
in my lifetime. Both Rome and Stefanic, though, have a way of making that case, too, from a
totally different place and a totally different approach. And also, you know, not as a, I don't
know, sometimes I think Trump doesn't like people who are arguing on his behalf that are too
spotlight stealing, right? I think they both would do, they do a good job. They're smart.
They fit the profile. If you look, I've got to take a break. But if you look, the vague,
Donald Trump would be the kingmaker for a new generation and setting that new generation in place.
I think that that plays a role.
All right, let me tell you about MyPillow.

podcasts are found this is the glenbeck program you know i think uh i think christine gnome
fits the profile of who Donald Trump would ask to be the vice president, you know,
and not because South Carolina is going to pull any, or I mean to South Carolina, South Dakota
going to pull any votes. Usually that's what you do. Um, in the past, you would get the person
that is, you know, that has the most amount that you can co-opt all of those voters. Um, and that's,
that wouldn't be Christy Gnome. However, he, he, he could pick her because, uh, she's a big fan. Also, uh,
She's right in line with him.
And she might help him out with the female vote.
Yeah.
I'm certainly one of Trump's weaknesses in 2020 was suburban women.
She may help with that at some level.
At least that might be the theory.
And Mickey is showing that that is also still a very targetable group.
Yeah.
And she would, you know, Christy Noem would defend him well.
She's smart.
She, you know, out of central casting, as Donald Trump always says.
So, I mean, there's a,
there's a, there's definitely a possibility there.
Stefanik has made a name for herself as well.
I think it, and it's seemingly a strange profile for a big Trump supporter, but has been a
big Trump supporter.
So, you know, maybe a possibility there.
There's, there's a few you could see.
I don't, I just don't see the Haley thing.
I think a lot of people are saying that, you know, that the machine wants her to be the nominee.
Maybe, maybe it'll happen.
I wouldn't be stunned.
I just don't, it doesn't seem like what he wants.
What about Chris Christie in a dress?
I'm just saying
if he identifies as a female
and tempers his hatred
for support of Donald Trump
just a little bit.
Maybe, maybe you never go.
Weirder things, strangely I mean this,
weirder things have happened recently.
The Glenn Beck Program.
Hello America from behind my cardboard microphone.
With talent on loan from Jeff.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
I don't know who Jeff is.
And he's not very talented, so look out.
We have the news on Iowa and what comes next.
We also have Steve Baker in.
He's an investigative journalist, a Blaze Media correspondent.
He has been following the January 6th debacle almost from the very beginning.
In fact, he was there that day.
But he's been trying to get his hands on the videotape of
January 6th. Well, that's been hard to do and that we know now why. He broke a few weeks ago
a story on Blaze about the possible perjury, but he didn't have the videotape to prove it.
He does now. This is a massive, massive story that shows that Nancy Pelosi's security detail
committed perjury during the Oathkeeper's January 6th trial. This,
leads you to the understanding that the January 6th trial was a possible setup entirely,
or did they just exploit what was happening and turn it in to what we now think of as January 6th?
Steve joins us in 60 seconds.
First, our sponsor, this half hour is Jace Medical.
Look, if you are somebody that is a prepper, I am.
and I have tried to prep everything I can to be prepared so I can be a help to others and take care of your family first.
So the first thing you think of is I've got to have food and water.
Great.
But we are now looking at a world that could become very, very tiny, very quickly.
Or should I say, go back to being a huge world again like it was before we had all of this technology.
and ships and shipping.
Right now, 19 or 18 out of our 21 medicines for antibiotics
are made over in China or made elsewhere, not here.
We already have an antibiotic shortage.
We've got to be able to have these in our own community
so we can help one another, so we can live past any kind of storm
that's coming towards us.
Jace makes it super simple.
You go online, you fill out a form, and then you get your prescription, life-saving medications.
That could be heart medicine, that can be anything.
But the Jace case starts with five essential antibiotics.
It treats the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
Then you can push it out to all of the things that your family needs,
and you can have a years worth supply at your home.

Steve Baker, who we are, I don't say this, you know, happily, Steve.
I don't mean to make this sound like it's something we're all excited about,
but somebody that is, I expected to be in jail already.
And we're expecting that you may not last the month before you're arrested by the FBI.
Any updates on that?
The only update we have was given to my attorney between the week of Christmas and January 1st.
And that was a conversation he had with the new U.S. attorney that has my case.
And that new U.S. attorney told him that now they have moved my self-surrender date back to mid-January.
And that they would give me seven to ten days notice because they have, I will tell you, for two years,
they've respected my travel schedule and have at least shown.
shown that kind of courtesy, but it's the middle of the month now, and we still haven't heard
back from them yet. Now, they did tell my attorney at the time when he asked, well, can you
just let us know what the charges are going to be? And the AUSA said, no, we're not going to
tell you. Well, why is that? And I kid you not, Glenn. The U.S. attorney told my attorney
that they won't tell me what my charges are or what I'm facing because they said, I will
tweet it out immediately.
Well, yeah, so what's the problem with that?
I'm not exactly sure.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Steve, so we have a lot of new people listening today.
They, you know, saw what happened in Iowa last night.
They wanted analysis on it.
We're going to get that to you here in a second.
But for people who haven't been following why they're after you,
it has to have something to do with the fact that you were in the building as a journalist,
just like the ABC and NBC people, and you took video.
and you started to say, this isn't the story that everybody is saying it is.
Then about two months ago, you put together a video for The Blaze that showed Nancy Pelosi's security detail,
who is instrumental in the convictions of a lot of these people.
Tell me, bring me up to speed.
We'll play the first part of the clip.
Tell me what we're going to hear in this clip.
It's very important for people to focus in on.
One thing here. Special agent, David Lazarus, who was on the dignitary protection detail for Nancy Pelosi, he testified in the Oathkeeper's trial that he witnessed the interaction between the Oathkeepers and Harry Dunn, Officer Harry Dunn, who's now running for Congress, by the way.
Yes. And that he saw this interaction, this highly antagonistic interaction between the Oathkeepers and Harry Dunn three or four times is what he testified in great.
detail in that trial. The problem with that Glenn was is that Special Agent Lazarus was not even
in the same building. And we secured the Capital CCT video that I don't think they ever thought
we would get access to showing that that's the truth. So let me play the first part of what just
broke yesterday. It's from Blaze TV. And it is an investigative report again by Steve Baker. Here's
the setup of what Steve said prior to so you'll understand the importance of this videotape in cut
two listen the story of david lazarus on january six is very simple lawyers for stuart
roads and four other members of the oathkeepers on trial have suggested that the group helped
officer harry dunn done done just took the stand and said flat out quote they didn't send us to four
years in prison sentence to eight and a half years in prison sentence to 12 years in prison
sentenced to 18 years in prison.
His story that day is he was assisting the evacuation of the Senate at the time that the
incident between Officer Harry Dunn and the Oathkeepers began.
Side of the Rectonda, there was Harry Dunn.
He's a capital police officer.
He was freaking out.
I mean, he was screaming.
He said, he might get taken out, but he was going to take a bunch of people with it.
He was definitely in a position where he could have some damage.
The oathkeepers lined up between him and the more agitated protesters and assisted him and keeping them off of him.
Don rejected the defense's argument that members of the militia protected him.
I don't conflate my story.
He had two separate FBI interviews which were in conflict with one another.
In the first FBI interview, he actually gave a favorable story about his encounter with the four oath keep.
I've spent in front of airing time for almost six minutes.
After he was brought in for his second FBI interview, he changed that story.
He was fighting back insurrectionists across the Capitol
while being called the vilous racist names.
So what they did is they brought in another officer, special agent, David Lazarus,
to kind of bolster that story and give it more credibility by saying that when he arrived at the top of those stairs,
that he saw Dunn standing at the top of the stairs being hassled by these oathkeepers.
At the time the Harry Dunn, Oathkeepers, encounter began, he was not in the same building.
Wow.
Now, what this video, if you're not a Blaze TV subscriber, what you're seeing on the screen, are the time stamps.
There's about eight different cuts there.
where everybody is in the Capitol.
You see it on a map through graphics,
but you also then see the Capitol cameras.
What's so frightening about this, Steve, is they didn't think that anybody would get this footage.
And the lie is so clear that it is a lie.
And basically to put all of these people in jail,
based on that lie, it is terrifying what our government's willing to do to its own people.
It's terrifying that they are still trying to cover this up.
As a matter of fact, we learned just a few days ago that Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger
has stated that he has no intention to investigate this internally or to investigate the actions
or the testimony of Special Agent Lazarus.
That's correct.
And what's also amazing, and we show this in this particular video, we show a screenshot
of an internal capital police leadership email that I received from one of my sources inside the building
who sent this to me back in the original release that we did when we started talking about this
without the videos back in October that they were very pleased that this story was not getting
traction at the time but now that we have the videos this thing really blew up on the social media
sites yesterday okay so tell me what we're going to see and hear now part two this this basically is
going to take us through the part where we see Lazarus now emerging to the area where he claimed
that he was, but this is long after the oathkeepers have left the building.
They've certainly left the area and are exiting the building.
But this, once again, it solidifies the fact that, and it really brings home the fact, Glenn,
that these individuals were testified against improperly.
they were lied against.
They're certainly at the very least,
their,
not only their convictions,
but their sentencings were much worse
as a result of these testimonies
between Harry Dunn and Lazarus.
And the fact is,
is that neither one of these cops
who testified in this trial
could possibly have experienced what they said.
As I said before,
they gave very, very specific and detailed
testimonies, and both of them
are not only in conflict with one another,
They're in complete conflict with the truth.
Okay, here's part two.
This was released yesterday.
Listen to this.
Lazarus was just not there.
He could not have seen.
He could not have witnessed what was taking place because Lazarus was in another Senate office building across the street from Constitution Avenue.
So we were able to track Lazarus on the Capitol CCTV cameras.
Lazarus can be seen moving away from the Capitol building through a lower tunnel at 237.
17.59 p.m. Lazarus continues moving toward the Senate office buildings at 2.41.49 p.m.
During Officer Lazarus's October 31st trial testimony, he stated that he began his return to the Capitol building after hearing shots fired over Capitol Police Radio.
That occurred at 2.43 p.m.
Here, Lazarus can be seen moving back toward the Capitol at 2.45 p.m.
Dunn's encounter with the Oathkeepers began at 244 and lasted roughly between 5 and 6 minutes.
Here Lazarus finally emerges from the tunnel back to the Senate side of the Capitol building at 248.
Dunn falsely testified that Lazarus was already at the location where he encountered the Oathkeepers before he arrived.
But Lazarus can be seen at the top of the elevator leading up from the tunnel at 248.
on the Senate side of the Capitol over four minutes after Dunn encountered the oathkeepers on the
House side. I mean, how is this not being investigated? I guess this is where you come in.
If it isn't, if it wasn't for people like you, we wouldn't know. If it wasn't for places like the
blaze, this story wouldn't be told and it would just go away. But in a surveillance
state and that's really what the capital grounds are. It's a surveillance state. You can track
every movement of everybody and tie them all together. It takes a lot of time, as you know.
But in a normal circumstance, this would mean that those people who were tried and convicted with
this testimony, they would either go for a mistrial or they would be immediately released.
that's the way America has always worked.
And no one is doing anything about it.
They think they're going to get away with it.
Is that just because people aren't aware of it?
Well, they're not aware of it, but I will tell you that we are working very, very closely with congressional members and staffers on this particular story as well as the other stories that we've currently got in development.
As a matter of fact, Representative Barry Loudermil, Lattermel, who is the chairman of the subcommittee of oversight.
from House admin.
They just announced a couple of days ago that they have been given three times the number
of staffers from House Speaker Johnson for the specific purpose of investigating January 6 matters.
And I can confirm that now.
But we have been, I have sat with Mr. Loudermilk several times.
I have met with his chief of staff and his staff members on many occasions now.
And I think that at the very least, before a committee is called or a number,
another J6 select committee is convened. They are going to bring these officers in for transcripted
interviews under oath. Thank you very much, Steve. I really appreciate all of your work, and we pray for
you. And I ask America, pray for Steve Baker. He is under threat from the U.S. government just because
he's telling the truth. How do I know it's the truth? He has the video evidence. Steve, thank you
so much. Blaze Media correspondent and investigative journalist.
And if you don't have this video yet, you can find it online.
You can go to blaze.
The blaze.com.
You can also find it on Blaze TV, but tweet this out and spread this as much as possible.
This tells an completely different story, and there is nothing but facts.
You cannot argue this at all because everything is timestamped.
All right, back in just a second.
our sponsor this half hour is Rough Greens and Jerry wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.
He said, I listened to you rave about this product for several years before I decided to try it.
When I got the trial bag that was more than enough to see the results I needed to continue and purchasing more,
my dog was playing and running again.
She had arthritis and skin allergies, but I could tell a huge difference only after the second feeding.
Thank you. Jerry, thanks for writing in.
I saw immediate results with Uno.
He liked his food and he was much more active almost immediately.
But wait, you give this six months.
You are going to see incredible changes in your dog.
At least I did.
This is not a dog food.
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black.
You sprinkle it on the dog's food.
And anything that is good for your dog, it's most likely in rough greens.

3 3 3greens dot com slash beck 10 seconds station id you know the democrats are talking about
how horrible it is that donald trump could get in because he could make this a fascistic state
he could jam things through the court system, et cetera, et cetera.
Let me ask you, what the hell are the Democrats doing right now?
I mean, this should show to everyone who doesn't believe in the deep state,
doesn't believe that we are on a path of dictatorship.
And it could be either party, gang,
when you do this much damage to the republic,
either side could become a dictator.
That's why it's important for all of us to know the Constitution
and to fight for constitutional rights,
no matter who's involved.
If this videotape came out and you saw that Donald Trump and his people
had edited and suppressed tape and put people into jail for 18 years,
would you be for it?
Because I wouldn't be.
I would be just as mad as I am now,
but I'm also mad at the American people.
We get what we deserve.
And if we don't start standing up for the Constitution,
we're toast.
We're absolute toast.
We will become a dictatorship.
And I don't know who will make us one,
but we're already on that road.
The things that are happening,
the fact that the police will not pick this up
with the with the truth the evidence the videotape how do you argue videotape still help me out how do you
argue videotape you say it's AI but we know it's not AI how do you argue that that's basically
the last that's the last bastion right of arguing videotape we've seen it is people do that recently
yeah it it is audio tape videotape you argue AI but that's about it yeah there are there are
there's software now that you can run and you can run all videotape through and it will tell you
if it is if it's a digital fraud or not um you know this we know is true because we're part of
the group the blaze that went into the archives at the capital we're allowed in with five
different reporters at the same time to review all of the videotape we know what that videotape
shows on this case. We know it. We got it from the federal government. So there's no way that a
digital fake could have been made unless it was made by the government. And do you think
Biden's government was doing that? I don't think so. This is why Blaze TV is so important. And I
know there's a lot of pressures on you, but we really need your support. There's going to be
litigation on this one, I'm sure.
So we really need your support.

I'll take a minute here and just tell you about an amazing woman named Charlotte.
She didn't find out she was pregnant until she was about seven weeks along.
Now that's still time enough to get an abortion and she figured that would be the best solution.
Thankfully, Charlotte wound up at a pre-born clinic where she was introduced to the sight and sound of her newborn child.
And in this moment, that's the moment she chose life for her baby instead of the abortion she's been planning.
Preborn could not afford to have the technician and the equipment and the training for an ultrasound if it wasn't for you.
That child is alive and well today.
Charlotte is just a different, just a different person.
She's just beaming.
And she is grateful for these people like you that were generous enough to help Preborn give her that free ultrasound.
It costs $28.
It's a miracle.

Hello, America. Real quick.
We're going to give you all the details on what happened yesterday in Iowa.
I don't think there were any real surprises except for maybe Ronda Santis coming in second
and Nikki Haley coming in third.
I think that might have been a surprise to Nikki Haley.
wasn't anybody on this program, and I think if you've been paying attention. Also,
Ramoswami has now dropped out. And we'll give you some more on the exit polls coming up in just a second.
But there's there's some really amazing things. The exit poll and Stu, I know you want to get into this.
We'll get into it a little bit later on what the exit poll has actually tells us about stolen elections.
but I feel compelled today to talk to you about how unaware we maybe all of us are,
how we are just not self-aware at all, because each side is accusing the other of dictatorships.
Right now, the Biden administration wants to round everybody up that says, you know,
that there was an election fraud, wants to discredit all of them, call them crazy cooks, etc., etc.
And last night, what was the numbers, Stu, on the exit poll of people going in to vote?
How many of them said that Trump had the election stolen from him?
About two-thirds.
About two-thirds of Republican voters.
Do you know the number exactly?
It was like in the 60s, wasn't it?
66, about two-thirds, yes.
It's about two-thirds.
it's 66.6%.
Okay. So
now the Democrats will call these
crazy cooks. But the Democrats,
what was the number of Democrats
when pulled that said
that Donald Trump was not a legitimate
president because the election was stolen
in 2016?
It's even higher, right? It was in the 70s.
78. I think it was 78.
7027.
But it was.
It was higher.
So you can't have it both ways, all right?
We know that they've been claiming fraud forever.
That's why people who are caring about the Constitution are asking for things like voter ID, paper ballots, blockchain, anything like that.
It doesn't make sense that you want to jail people or silence people on one half if you were the other.
half that have been saying in election after election. Here's what the New York Times has just said to the
Republicans. Republicans who will gather in Iowa and others to cast their first votes of the 2024
presidential primary season have one responsibility to nominate a candidate who is fit to serve as president,
one who will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
I am that's the first thing the new york times has said that i absolutely agree on and i will tell you
you've got to find somebody who will protect and defend the constitution of the united states
without the constitution well we're this what we have right now donald trump the time says who
has proved himself unwilling to do so is manifestly unworthy he's facing criminal trials for his
conduct as a candidate in 2016 as president former president in this is
third presidential bid, he has intensified a multi-year campaign to undermine the rule of law. Now, who has
undermined the rule of law? I would say those who said enough with the police force have done
an awful lot of damage to the rule of law that said our court systems, our justice system,
our police officers are all racist, no matter what the facts are, I think they've caused a lot of
problems with the rule of law. He said that if elected he would behave like a dictator on day one.
Now, I believe that's true. He will act like a dictator on day one. But what does that mean?
Then I'll come back to it. Then they say, he also said he would direct the Justice of a Department
of Justice to investigate his political rivals and his critics in the media.
Oh, you mean like what the Justice Department is doing right now?
he also has declared the greatest dangers to the nation come not from abroad but from within
president Biden has given multiple spooky speeches about that very thing look here's what you need
to understand trump did say that he would put Hillary in jail in 2016 he did but we told you
at the time take him seriously but not literally he's he believes that the republic does not go
after opponents before or after an election. You don't do that. That's what a banana republic does.
Personally, I think the case against some of these people on both the right and the left is so
huge and so important. The case with Clinton, now with Russia Gate, is even more so than it was in
2016. But the point is, he said it, but he didn't do it. Biden, on the other hand, did.
he is on record speaking to the Department of Justice in meetings at the White House where he said he wanted Trump in prison, find it, do it.
That's a dictator.
Now, when it comes to him saying he's going to be a dictator on day one, well, yes, on day one, yeah, I guess so.
Because what happened with Biden's day one?
See, we've already had dictators, and this is the problem.
We're not following the Constitution.
We've already had dictators, but they were dictators to where we didn't really, it didn't affect us that much, and so we were willing to put up with it.
They're called executive orders.
It's why Trump could make things happen without Congress.
Congress is broken.
They've given up all of their power.
So the presidential administration makes up.
their own laws and rules without any representation. We are a republic, which means we have representatives
that we elect. That's the power of the people. We hire somebody to make the laws, but Congress
no longer makes the laws. They've given up, and so they've passed it to the administrative state.
We don't elect those people. I don't even know who those people are, and they make the laws.
So when the president says, I want to give people back their money for their student loans,
it doesn't have to go to Congress now, or that's the case they're making.
That is a dictatorship.
So when a president will come in, like Trump or Biden, Biden, a single person can come in and reverse everything that Donald Trump did.
in essence he's dictating without public or any congressional input okay we didn't vote for those things
congress didn't vote for those things so he's put them in now when trump says he's going to be a dictator
on day one that's what he means i will stop all of this stuff through executive order but if you're
going to condemn somebody for saying that then you have to condemn yourself first listen to this
This comes from MSNBC last night.
If we're worried about the rise of authoritarianism in this country,
if we're worried about the rise of potential rise of fascism in this country,
if we're worried about our democracy falling to an authoritarian and potentially fascistic form of government,
that leader who is trying to do that is part of that equation.
But people wanting that is as much bigger part of the equation.
And the American electorate is made up of two major parties.
Now, listen to what Matt House.
said. One of those parties has been flirting with extremism on the ultra-right for a very long time.
When they first labeled the right extremists in the 21st century, they were labeling people
who were the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement wanted lower spending,
spending that was in control.
We wanted the same thing the Democrats wanted,
which was the Congress needs to read every bill
and have time to read every bill,
no more secret deals.
We also wanted a return to the constitutional norms,
a return to the budget process,
which we haven't had since 2008.
There is no budget for the United States.
That's what we were asking for.
And if that is, if that's extreme,
then yes, I'm an extremist.
If a call to go back to the Constitution
to question all of these foreign wars
to make sure we reign in the power
of the federal government
and empower the local and state government,
then if that's what makes an extremist,
then yes, I am an extremist.
But that's only an extremist
in the point of view from somebody
who is an extremist for a dictator
dictatorships for vast control of the American people through government.
She said they've brought them in a way where they haven't been central,
where they haven't been central to the Republican electoral politics ever before.
But once you have radicalized one major party so that those are the preferences of the people
who adhere to your party, the leader is interchangeable.
You mean like the guy who can barely talk or function?
could be replaced with somebody else, or you could have a good candidate,
but you don't really care who the candidate is,
even if this guy is completely incapable of running the country?
You mean that extremists just allow that to happen?
Is that what you mean?
She said, Trump is a miss sometimes that we call it.
The MAGA movement is probably a better way to do it.
So she is calling us extremists.
Okay, I understand that. But what is an extremist? In America, an extremist would be someone who rejects our founding principles, someone who rejects our Declaration of Independence, somebody who disagrees and rejects our constitutional and our Bill of Rights, the actual rule of law.
when you say somebody can be listened to and hacked into without a warrant,
I'm sorry, that's an extremist because Americans understand that the country is built around the Bill of Rights.
And if America doesn't understand that, well, then we're in even bigger trouble than we all have become extremists.
Matt Bennett, co-founder of the progressive third-way think tank, went so far as to warn that the consequences of a failure of the Biden re-election campaign could mean the destruction of the United States.
Everybody's nervous, he told the outlet, and the downside risk isn't that Mitt Romney becomes president.
Now, think of this.
Mitt Romney was Hitler.
Mitt Romney was the worst president ever.
He was going to destroy the republic.
Remember that?
milk-toasty, Mitt Romney was a danger to the Republic.
Now they're finally admitting, no, it's not Mitt Romney.
It's somebody else, somebody who actually believes in something.
It's that the republic collapses, and so people are scared and afraid.
We invite everyone concerned about the existential threat that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans
pose to our freedom and democracy to channel their energy towards organized.
donating and talking to their friends about the stakes of this election.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with that. That is very American.
I urge you to do the same thing.
The question is, which is the extremist?
The side that now says, you know, Hamas, it wasn't so bad what they did.
That we can live side by side with people who put babies,
in ovens. No, no, we really can't. This entire election is really all about what is extreme and what is
American. This election is truly all about voting for which one is going to bring us back to
our founding principles. There's going to be a lot of strife because we've gone way over,
board. We are all in lifeboats and they're all leaky. Which one is going to have the principles
and the support of the people to bring it back to constitutional rule? I don't know, but that's
for the American people to decide. But I will tell you that if you just look at the record of the
last 10 years of what the Democrats have done even in the last three years, I think it's pretty
obvious. Back in just a minute. Sponsor, this half hour is my Patriot Supply. When it comes to being
prepared for disasters, there is no time like the present. Hungry people make bad decisions.
Panicked people make bad decisions. It's honestly why the book of revelation is there.
It's not like God was like, you know, this book, this second book that I wrote, I mean, it's kind of happy.
Leaves them with a happy ending.
I want to freak him out a little bit.
He did the opposite.
The book of Revelation was given to us so we don't freak out when things happen, that we stay calm, knowing that when you freak out, you make bad decisions when you are hungry.
So prepare, watch for the signs of the times and prepare for those things.
Right now, you and I both.

Next 51 to Biden's 48, Trump is 50 to Biden's 48.
We also have polls from South Carolina, but this doesn't include what happened last night.
Will that change the polls?
We'll have the exit polls, the South Carolina polls, New Hampshire, all of that coming up in just a few minutes, standby.
Hello, America.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Davos is in session this week.
There's been some changes through the dictatorial process of executive order and through the administration.
Your representative probably hasn't been heard on this.
It is a purging again of more doctors and nurses who believe in life.
We'll tell you about this coming up in 60 seconds.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
It's Patriot, No Mobile.
Patriot Mobile is a company that believes in the Constitution,
believes in freedom of speech, you know, Second Amendment, third Amendment.
All of the amendments, really, they're a big fan of.
Maybe not the 18th Amendment, but that was taken care of by the 21st, so dare I say more.
Patriot Mobile is out fighting for the things that are truly American,
not extremist, but truly American.
Our rights, our freedoms.
Now, they are also a mobile phone company.
Now, this is a group of people that wanted to make a difference,
and they were in the mobile phone business and the thought,
why don't we make Patriot mobile the world's only
and first Christian conservative constitutional mobile phone company?
And with some of the profits that they make, they go out,
and they're at your school board meetings,
they're supplying information.
They're doing all kinds of work in their off hours,
with some of the profits that they make, and they're saving you money.
They'll give you the same great service and sell coverage because they're on the same towers.

So in Davos today, they are talking about rebuilding trust.
And the number one thing they feel is the greatest threat is misinformation and
disinformation.
The second biggest threat is misinformation and disinformation in elections.
They believe that people like me lie and tell you falsehoods and
And, you know, what we say about the world economic forum is absolutely untrue.
They're not trying to destroy.
They're trying to build a better world where we all can be free.
I don't believe any of that, but that's what makes me a threat.
So they are trying to work on how to combat disinformation, what they call disinformation or misinformation from people like me, how to combat people like me.
and anybody who speaks out against the World Economic Forum, the WHO, COVID, any of that,
they are also hearing the arguments from the World Health Organization that disease X is right around the corner.
And they need to band together because last time we acted fast,
but this one's going to be worse.
And we have to even act faster.
And that's why we need to have, you know, digital identities and national IDs.
And we have to have all of our information given to the government.
We've got to do it quickly because of disease X.
Now, I'm not an extremist.
I believe in the rights that were given to man, man, woman.
I don't care if you're an independent, Democrat, Republican.
You're a space alien.
I don't care.
We are all created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable.
and those rights begin with our own bodies and you can't tell me what I have to put in my body
to be legal no that is my decision well what about abortion well abortion is different because
it involves another child you know if if we think that a child is a child in the womb and we
think it's a child just because the mom wants that child and so it's actually a baby.
And if mom doesn't want it, it's just a clump of cells. That's insanity. That is a sign that
you have a serious mental disorder. It's always a baby. You just don't want to admit it's a baby
because then you'd be killing babies. But that's becoming more and more popular as we go. Now,
It seems like killing babies and killing perfectly healthy people and letting, in fact, in Canada, helping teenagers commit suicide because they're depressed.
I'm not somebody that agrees with that.
And I question the doctors that are.
The reason why I'm talking about this is because I want you to know the left is talking about a dictatorship.
I'm talking about the Constitution.
The Constitution will tell us that our administrative state is out of control.
I don't want anyone to have control where they can write laws and tell us what we have to do through administrative action.
We're a republic that should go through Congress and then signed by the president.
And if it's unconstitutional, go to the Supreme Court.
But the left and Joe Biden has done all kinds of things that are very, very unambiguous.
American. One of the things that is very American is that we have our own choice. We lead our
life in a certain way. If I want to do business and do one thing, I can do that as long as I'm
not harming others. But now we're taking this away. And the Department of Health and Human
Services have now issued new regulations that rescind conscience protections for doctors and nurses
who are forced by their employers to perform procedures that violate their beliefs.
So we're talking about forced sterilization, abortion, assisted suicide, gender transition surgeries.
This, you won't be able to be a doctor if you disagree with doing those things.
You're not going according to HHS and this new regulation.
You no longer have the right to say, I can't do that for religious reasons.
This is extraordinarily disturbing because I know who progressives are.
Now, you might be a progressive and say, well, I don't agree with the killing people and everything else.
But you have to understand if you don't have that understanding, it doesn't mean that other progressives at the top don't have that understanding.
You are looking at a group of people, and let's use the WEF, that are truly in a death cult.
how could I say that?
Well, anyone who says we should get rid of all of our energy
before having energy to replace it
is sentencing millions of people to death in the cold.
They're sentencing to death when it's hot
and there's no air conditioning.
You're sentencing them to starvation
by taking away fertilizer
because you put the planet above people eating.
Now, there's a happy middle where we could,
all go, but you don't replace something with nothing. Otherwise, you're causing death. It is truly
a death cult. Otherwise, honestly, we would be investigating all of the things that how did COVID
happen? Where did it come from? What really happened with the vaccine? What is the danger? But we're
not doing any of that. Only crazy people are doing that. Let me tell you how this
how this actually works and I want to do it by telling you about the crime of the
century in the early 20th century the arrogance of saying something is the crime of
the century because you hear that you know over and over and over again throughout
a century but sometime during the evening of March 1st in 1932 there was a
20-month-old baby that was kidnapped snatched from his cot in the nursery on the
second floor of the family house in New Jersey. Dad was downstairs, didn't hear a thing.
A broken ladder was found nearby, along with footprints, tire tracks, and on the windowsill,
a handwritten ransom note that just said, baby safe instructions later, act accordingly.
It was the crime of the century. And the reason why it was the crime of the century was not
because the ransom was $50,000. This is in the 20s, so that was an awful long.
of money. That's about a million dollars today. It was paid on April 2nd. It's not because of the
biggest manhunt that had ever spread across the U.S. It's not that the poor defenseless baby had been
stolen. The reason this was the crime of the century is that the child was the son of Charles
Lindbergh. He was the national hero who had completed the first solo flight, 3,600 miles,
nonstop from New York to Paris in 1927.
Now, what happened in this is Charles Lindbergh was never investigated.
He wasn't considered a suspect.
Even when six weeks later, the child's battered body was found less than five miles from his home,
it was discovered by a pair of delivery drivers who had stopped for a comfort break in the woods.
Coroner examined the corpse, determined the cause of death, two heavy blows to the head.
Lindbergh senior helped lead the investigation which two years later resulted in the conviction of a German immigrant who was still protesting his innocence as he was strapped to the electric chair.
Everyone's heart was broken by the child and Lindberg's wife, Anne.
But is any of that true, investigation after investigation was stopped because Lindberg was famous,
he was connected. He was also a very deep progressive. Now, Lee's Pearlman, she is a retired judge.
She's a celebrated author. She has now come out with evidence that says, no, that's not what happened.
She believes that not only did Lindberg have a hand in his son's death, but he may have sacrificed his
son because he was disappointed in his son, he sacrificed his son to medical science,
permitting his pal Alexis Carroll, the Nobel Prize winning scientist, to experiment on his
child, then fake the kidnap to cover up the disappearance and the death of the child.
Apparently, Lindberg was very disappointed that his firstborn son was, quote, in his words,
a weakling with an abnormally large head.
And so her theory is that he thought his child could be more used to medical research
than to him and Anne.
She says, my theory is the child was operated on.
We think at the very least that his carteroid artery and probably his thyroid were taken out
and kept viable for 30 days.
We think he died on the operating table.
But there's more.
I think Carol can do.
the operation with Lindbergh's permission and Lindbergh was likely present.
It surely beggars belief that Lindbergh, a national celebrity, could have committed such a heinous
crime. In 1928, he was Time Magazine's man of the year because he's the guy who jumpstarted air
travel. He went on, became a Pulitzer Prize winning author, explorer, and environmentalist.
He was the American dream at the time, but perhaps not.
She said she has lots of leads on the kidnapping that were not followed.
About a dozen state witnesses likely committed perjury, she said,
and the prosecution had 90,000 pages of investigation.
They didn't let the defense see.
This throws up some really uncomfortable questions that nobody wants to talk about.
And they say these are rumors, but I believe these are facts.
He was very anti-Semitic, as was Henry.
Ford. He was a Nazi sympathizer. He was also a liar and a serial philanderer. Together, he and
Anne had five children, but Lindbergh fathered another seven, the products of three separate
affairs happening, and none of his illegitimate children were allowed to know who their dad was
until after he died in 1974. He was controlling. He kept a log, a note on each child's
transgressions and insisted that Anne record every cent of household expenses in a ledger,
but most damningly, he had enthusiasm for eugenics.
I don't think I need to tell you what eugenics are, but he really believed we needed to weed out
the weakness and improve the genetic quality of the human population.
He also was very much into the pioneering of organ transplant surgery, makes for a disturbing reading.
He was obsessed on how we could keep organs alive and be preserved outside of the body long enough to be transplanted.
If this would have happened, he would have revolutionized medicine in 1930.
But this is where this is coming from now.
The evidence looks like he might have.
actually been experimenting on his own son.
Don't know if this is true, but it should be pursued.
The reason why I tell you this story is
Lindbergh is very much like some of the people today
that you look at.
Noah Havall Harari is one of them.
He is a scientist, I guess,
that you could talk to anybody at Davos,
talk to anybody in the elite circles today, and they'll say he's one of the greatest minds ever.
However, his words truly echo the early eugenists that say there are unlivable lives.
There are going to be useless people, and we have to decide what we're going to do with those useless people.
His first attempt to deal with them is to drug them and just get them online and keep them online where they can just
waste away online.
Useless people is also the things that Charles Lindbergh signed up for, the things that anybody
who was in the medical field signed up for in Germany.
It wasn't the jackbooted thugs that were killing children.
It was doctors and nurses, scientists, and great leaders of the world.
It came from America and then went to Germany.
So when I read something that Biden has is trying to once again clean out the medical community of anybody who objects to anything because they have a religious conscience, that is a check and a balance on our medical and science community that, quite frankly, if you don't think we need it after what happened with COVID, I think you're sadly mistaken.
these people are very, very dangerous.
Don't be duped.

So there's something else that I think you need to know.
if you go to the IBM website and you look at IBM and AI and medicine, you'll see how is
artificial intelligence used in medicine? Artificial intelligence in medicine is the use of machine
learning models to search medical data and uncover insights that help improve health outcomes
and patient experiences. Thanks to recent advances in computer science and informatics,
artificial intelligence is quickly becoming an integral part of modern health care.
AI algorithms and other applications powered by AI are being used to support medical professionals in clinical settings and ongoing research.
They talk about how this is going to be a support tool that will become more and more important to doctors because it will check doctors.
Now, my question is, who's programming this?
We know it's AI, so it's going to take programming, and it's coming from IBM.
I would just like to remind you that it is the computer, the AI computer, that is used now by doctors that is specially made for medical treatment is called, I think it's Watson X, I think.
Watson is the name of this AI program. It's named after Thomas Watson.
In case you don't know who Thomas Watson is, he was first a star salesman and then he became the head of IBM in the 1930s.
He was a big supporter of Adolf Hitler.
He did a big relationship and a big business relationship with the Nazis.
And the concentration camps used IBM computers.
The train system used it as well.
It's how they knew how many people to take from the ghetto and who to take from the ghetto to put on the train and where that train should go.
It's how they became so efficient.
IBM sent repair people over to the concentration camps.
They were the ones helping.
And now IBM is the one helping our medical community with a computer named after the guy.
who was working with Hitler to liquidate the Jews.
I don't know, IBM.
Uh, feel a little uncomfortable.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here.
Trump obviously won last night, a commanding victory for Donald Trump. Not really a surprise.
But he was, what was the final? Was it 51 or?
Yeah, Donald Trump, 51%. He gets 20 delegates.
Ronda Santis, 21.2%.
Gets eight delegates. Nikki Haley,
19.1%.
Gets seven delegates.
Vake Ramoswami finished at 7.7% and gets
three delegates. Those are his, even though he's
dropped out of the race. He'll still have them
at the convention. And then Ryan
Binkley, pastor from Dallas,
0.7 and Asa Hutchinson.
191 votes statewide
after a year of campaigning. He gets
0.2%.
He did worse.
than Binkley, Binkman.
Binkley, and it was not even close.
Right.
Was not even close.
That is crazy.
That is crazy.
Catastrophic for poor ASA.
Aces on suicide watch today, I think.
Don't let him have his shoestrings or a belt.
Let me talk now about what's coming.
There's a new poll out for New Hampshire,
but this is without any of the news that happened last night.
So this is a poll that would.
was taken just after Nikki Haley started to show some growth.
So we don't know what it means today, whether it'll affect it one way or another.
We don't know.
But here is the latest poll from New Hampshire.
Yeah, this is New Hampshire and it's, I think, American Research Group who did the poll.
This is the 12th through the 15th of this month.
So it includes yesterday, but obviously would not include anything after the results.
Correct.
And it has Donald Trump and Nikki Haley tied at 40 at the top in New Hampshire.
followed way, way, way, way, way back with Vivek Ramoswamy and Ronda Seda's still both on the ballot
at 4%.
Why do you think she's doing so well in New Hampshire?
Largely it's because of the way the primary works.
You're going to have a lot of independence and Democrats, and she's going to crush in that
group, as she did in Iowa, by the way, but the numbers in Iowa are not nearly as high as they
are in New Hampshire among those groups.
She does very, very well in those groups wins by wide, wide margins.
And that will help her there, but it won't help her in these other states.
This is the problem of the candidacy.
Have you ever seen any research done on whether people switch and say, you know, I'm going to vote for the Republican and I'm usually voting for Democrat or vice versa?
Because they mean it?
Or is it just to screw with the election?
There are definitely some.
The percentages are relatively small when you're talking about people doing what Rush Limbaugh used to call Operation Chaos back in, what was it, 2008.
There's definitely some that do it.
The majority of people who vote in those primaries, typically, at least according to the polls, are people who are either legitimately considering or undecided voters who are looking, or they are people who are.
are deciding to vote that way for sure.
There are always some.
But I mean, like, for example, one of these states, I can't remember, it might have been,
I can't remember which state it was now that I've looked at so many polls over the past few days.
But it was like 2% of the electorate consider themselves liberal.
Right.
So it's not a massive part of this in a tight primary, like the one in New Hampshire.
It can make a big, big difference.
And of course, in New Hampshire, you have a lot of people who are moderates, maybe libertarians,
maybe people who are even leaning a little bit left that may consider Republican candidates where
you might not see that in, you know, other states like New York or Massachusetts or Vermont.
There's a maybe a more independent electorate there in New Hampshire, which we kind of all
recognize. But, you know, look, Haley has a chance to actually win New Hampshire. I don't know
if this, my guess is it doesn't really hurt her for finishing third by two points behind DeSantis.
It doesn't hurt her in New Hampshire.
You know, when we were talking about the way these polls came out and I or the votes came out in Iowa, there are a couple different dynamics, right?
There was a question of whether Donald Trump could clear 50%.
He did do that.
There was a question of who would finish second.
We saw with DeSantis squeaking out.
I mean, I think he had to beat her and he did.
He had to her.
He would have been done.
Yeah.
Nikki Haley, look, you know, Nikki Haley, if you go back six months, this is a dream result for Nikki Haley.
right but you know she wound up being a little bit below expectations of the last couple of weeks
but still a decent showing and she's still in the game in new hampshire and then Vivek ramaswami
who was promising all sorts of things yesterday with big turnout and he drops out and he drops out
almost immediately after promising to stay in of course that happens every year so you look at uh ronda
santis because people will say he ron de santis he's a he's not he didn't make any inroads you know
people don't feel the way they thought they felt about Ron DeSanis, that's not true.
He is, I think, if you're voting for Trump, he's either number one or number two for you.
You know, he's as far as you're either going to vote for Trump if he's the candidate, but you would
rather vote for Ron DeSantis, or you're voting for Trump.
And if he was out, you'd vote for Ronda Santis.
So it's almost in many ways the same voter.
Trump. So why vote for Ron DeSantis when you've got Donald Trump to run? So it's,
yeah, no, it's, I don't think his position in the party or any, I don't think this says anything
about him for a run in, what will it be, 28? Yeah, you know, look, I think the polling shows that
he's still popular within the party. He's usually the second choice of Trump voters. Um,
And, you know, of course, there is a much different profile as a candidate of what, you know, the way they run their, you know, run their operations, right?
Like, so, you know, you're going to see some differences there.
But what's, I think, what's interesting, it's like right now you, most people would argue, even though Ron DeSantis finishes in second place, that Nikki Haley is really in second place in this, in this campaign right now.
She's about even with DeSantis nationally.
She has a much better chance of winning a state that is coming up soon, which is New Hampshire.
the next state after that, you know, Nevada's caucuses are a little weird.
So leaving them aside, you go with South Carolina as the next big state.
And South Carolina is Nikki Haley's home state.
You could see there's an argument there.
But the difference here is while Ronda Santis is probably not going to be as competitive
in any given state after Iowa as Nikki Haley will be in New Hampshire, there's a path
to win with Ronda Santis's approach.
It's like he is going for the voters that like Donald Trump.
And he got about 20% of that 70% of voters.
And Donald Trump got 50 in Iowa.
That's not enough, obviously.
It's not enough to win.
However, Nikki Haley really is looking at these 70% of voters who really like Donald Trump and getting almost none of them.
And if you can't get any of those voters, you have really no path to the nomination.
And she can't seem to pick any of them.
off what your path is is that you are hoping that enough republicans will hold their nose and enough
uh democrats or independence you know the parties have never been weaker than they are right now
people are identifying as independence they're there the the average independent is not for um you know
socialism and all of this crap that uh joe biden is doing but they also i think that
the average independent, many of them have been convinced by the media that Republicans want
something radical. When really, no, we just would like a return to normalcy. You know, a lot
of Republicans were on that bandwagon when Joe Biden said that. We just didn't believe he would
bring normalcy. We knew what he would bring. This. And that's the only path. It would be truly
the independent vote, I think that she would be going for, and she would need a lot of Democrats to make up a lot.
You can't win Republican primaries. You can win them in individual states with that approach. You can. You can't win Republican primary elections as a whole with that approach. It just doesn't wind up working over the long term. So she's put herself in a position. And, you know, she's not trying to say she's liberal. She's not trying to say she's liberal. She's not trying to say she's,
more moderate. She's just cut out that group, you know, that part of the electorate. And for whatever
reason, even though she hasn't been very critical of Donald Trump, in fact, over and over again,
she said he was the right president at the right time. And they've all tried to walk this weird
line where they don't say anything bad about Donald Trump for months and months on end.
I don't know that there's an opposite approach that works there. No one's been able to find it
if it does exist. But it's fascinating to watch this. As you pointed out earlier on when we were
talking, maybe it was Steve Dace we were talking to. You know, she, she was a Tea Party candidate.
When she's, when she ran, she was a popular governor among Republicans. And just her brand of
Republican politics has largely just fallen out of favor. And she doesn't really have a path to
win over this new energy of populism. She's from an older school Republicanism that actually
doesn't poll badly in general election audiences. You mentioned a poll earlier today that has her way
out in front of Joe Biden if she actually made it to the general. And that's really her main argument
here where both Donald Trump and Ronda Santas and most of these polls can squeak it out over Biden.
She usually has a seven or eight point lead over Biden, which is impressive. But there's no
path for her to get to the position in which she can utilize that support.
So what is the poll number look like in South Carolina?
South Carolina has not honestly had a ton of new polling.
I can pull up a summary here in a second.
But, you know, I think you, South Carolina being, you know, what is, I don't remember
the date of it here.
I haven't in my calendar.
South Carolina is still 39 days away.
So we have a while before South Carolina pops up.
A lot can change.
Right now, Trump at 54.
at 25, DeSantis at 12, and Asa Hutchinson at 0.5%. I don't know where Ryan Binkley is in the state,
Glenn. I'm going to have to check that apparently when we're monitoring these polls.
He's going to do great. I'm forward that Bankerman. I love Bankerman. Love him.
But I mean, look, Haley at 25%. If she has a good New Hampshire showing, you could see that closing
and her being relatively competitive in that state, especially if something were to change.
The one thing that people keep talking about, the Wall Street Journal has written an op-ed saying
Ron DeSantis should drop out. And I think what people are not calculating here is that the DeSantis vote is not an anti-Trump vote.
If Ron DeSantis drops out, I think it's probable the majority of his voters would go to Donald Trump, not to Nikki Haley.
And I think there's a strong possibility that DeSantis might even endorse Trump in that scenario.
So, again, these people who are like, you know, live or die, I don't.
want anyone but Trump to win, I don't think DeSantis dropping out is what you want. You probably
want DeSantis to stay in and keep fighting to see if he can get one of these later states to turn
around a little bit, or maybe just the tone of the entire campaign changes with some external
event like a crazy legal development or something like that. That's probably what you have to
look for. But Trump, look, Trump has a massive lead here. He is, I don't know that he was ever
beatable in this situation, Glenn.
Let me give you a new poll from the economist UGov, asks U.S. citizens to predict who would win regardless of who they preferred, of those surveyed.
44% said Trump, 35% said Biden, 21% said, I have no idea.
Split down the middle regarding support.
43% say they were supporting Biden.
43% saying they were supporting Trump.

Aks and pains are just part of getting older.
You know it and I know it, but that doesn't mean you have to just accept it.
That's why I want to tell you the story about Nancy from Texas and her relief factor story.
For years, she took care of horses and gave riding lessons.
She started getting older and Nancy began feeling the effect, so she decided to give relief factor a try.
work overnight, but it did work. These days, she says, I have more stamina because I don't hurt.
With relief factor, she can keep going and doing more. I can relate, as I used to have terrible
aches and pains in my hands. It was to the point that I didn't even want to get out of bed in the
morning. But ever since starting relief factor, I've got my life back. If you're living with
aches and pain, see how relief factor, a daily, drug-free supplement can help you feel and

So I don't know if you saw the acceptance speech from Donald Trump last night, but I thought it was
really good. Consulatory mentioned all of the candidates said, you know, we all have to come together.
and I don't want to be too harsh on the president, he said.
But he is the worst president we've ever had and is destroying the country.
So I'm glad he held back a little bit.
Yeah.
A little bit.
I mean, that might be good for other countries.
There's some positives to destroy the country.
Yeah, okay.
So the VP pick for Donald Trump, here are insider predictions.
Sarah Huckabee.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
That would make sense
Tucker Carlson
You know Tucker relatively well
I mean does he seem like the type of thing he'd want to do
No
No it doesn't strike me as an outsider
That he would want to do that either
Vivek and Christy Knoem
Mm-hmm
I think Christy Knoem is definitely on that list
Vivek I mean you talk to him about Vivek
There's definitely some arguments you could see
In Vivek's favor
But
Sarah, how could be Sanders, makes sense to me.
She was very loyal to him.
She was very good.
I thought a very good press secretary.
Did a really good job.
Went back, became the governor, has done fairly well as governor.
Yeah, very popular.
Is a woman, you know, is an evangelical.
I mean, to me, that makes sense.
And obviously, it's already kind of mastered the art of defending Trump and his policies
and potential misstatements.
That was actually her job.
So, yeah, I mean,
she's good at it.
She's definitely one you could see potentially in that role.
It's fascinating because, I mean, this is where we are, right?
We're at the point where we're just talking about his vice presidential picks.
And it's because it doesn't feel like much of a contest.
You know, we've been just talking about this for a while.
And I think people...
It never really turned into that contested primary that somebody expected.
You said earlier that,
When you have people saying the election was stolen and people begin to feel that way,
they feel like, well, then he deserves a second chance.
I think people see this just as the re-election of Donald Trump and that, you know, he was the guy.
He was shorted unfairly.
And he's the guy who is standing up for the little guy.
And I remember my grocery and gas bill not being.
so bad under him.
