00:00:08.420
Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:11.360
It's Friday, OJ is out, let's begin right there.
00:00:42.940
Hello America, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:45.220
It is Friday, OJ Simpson has been granted parole.
00:00:48.940
Now he's not out, I didn't mean to panic everybody.
00:00:54.080
So if you are the real killer, man, you better hide.
00:01:03.960
He's going to go to even more golf courses looking for the real killer.
00:01:11.260
How many golf courses, how much money does this guy have left?
00:01:14.960
Well, there seems to be some discrepancy over that.
00:01:18.120
Sports Illustrated reported that he has a pension, NFL pension of almost like $300,000 a year.
00:01:30.560
I saw a report last night that it cuts it down in half.
00:01:32.800
They did the numbers on it and it's something like $10,000 or $12,000 a month.
00:01:36.760
I don't know just the way the pension works out from the NFL.
00:01:40.100
Bottom line though, he has an ongoing salary that no one can touch.
00:01:43.240
So he is going to, money-wise, it's not going to be a problem.
00:01:50.440
We were talking about it yesterday and I was, I did a really good job of just completely speculating with absolutely no fact on it.
00:01:57.140
But doesn't it just seem like the type of thing the unions would fight for and get like, you can't touch pensions if you've got a criminal.
00:02:03.720
So, you know, in a settlement to protect these things over time, I have no idea if that's where it started.
00:02:12.480
I mean, if you commit a crime and you have a large settlement, they should be able to come after your pension.
00:02:20.420
I mean, pension is nothing but deferred salary.
00:02:22.240
I don't want to see this guy out on the street starving to death, not being able to keep any of his money, but to have a pension that, you know, gives you $300,000 a year after you've beheaded two people.
00:02:37.300
I like how everybody just discounts that he was actually found innocent of that.
00:02:40.560
But he wasn't found innocent as far as this money goes.
00:02:49.700
Maybe there's an exception for a poverty level, you know, exception where he can...
00:02:54.720
You bring him down just above the poverty level.
00:03:01.400
I'd be happy if he was living at $60,000, $70,000 a year.
00:03:08.280
For this guy to be able to still live high on the hog is obscene.
00:03:30.280
Would clean and would make all the food for him.
00:03:40.420
But, you know, like they have a way to get some basic needs if they have money.
00:03:47.160
His cellmates everything because he had plenty of money and they didn't have any.
00:03:58.100
And how about what he said yesterday to the parole board?
00:04:11.440
I've been asked to mediate conflicts in the prison.
00:04:14.560
And it gave me tools to use and walk these guys through instead of throwing punches at one another.
00:04:21.280
But, basically, I've spent a conflict-free life.
00:04:32.460
Yeah, she'd have a hard time getting the air through her vocal cords.
00:04:37.280
How many times did the cops come to his Rockingham house?
00:04:42.580
Well, you can't help how many times people call the police on you.
00:04:47.420
Let's just put O.J. Simpson in the room with, you're at a party, and there's only four people at the party.
00:04:54.900
You, and you have to talk to somebody you can't leave.
00:05:08.540
I don't drink anything, but I head right to Bill Cosby.
00:05:18.760
Because I just have a feeling that Mike Tyson and O.J. Simpson could kill me.
00:05:29.920
Now, he could probably still kill you, but I mean, a lot of people he would not be able to at 70.
00:05:40.900
Those two are so unstable, they could fly into rage.
00:05:45.400
And if one starts punching you, the other one's coming over to help.
00:05:57.040
By the way, he was the one of the three that was convicted of rape.
00:06:09.380
Brush off the legal system if you must, but that is the actual fact.
00:06:12.720
No, the legal system means that legally, you can go free.
00:06:23.560
It's amazing, though, that one of these three has been embraced by Hollywood.
00:06:28.600
Well, one of these three has been embraced by theater tours.
00:06:31.100
Possibly because one of the three paid their dues for it.
00:06:36.340
You know, once you go into prison, I have a better time...
00:06:41.600
But I have a better time dealing with you if you go to prison and you're like,
00:06:46.200
Yeah, I did it and it was bad, but I paid my time.
00:06:53.240
Not with my daughter or me, but, you know, all right.
00:06:58.640
O.J. Simpson, you know, he's told his friends he did it.
00:07:14.380
I mean, it does seem that he committed domestic abuse.
00:07:22.040
You gave a hypothetical and you said three people.
00:07:28.480
He'd have more interesting things to say than the other...
00:07:42.120
Ingesting things from Bill Cosby, probably not a good maneuver.
00:07:46.100
I was just thinking about the drinks, so no pudding from him.
00:07:48.120
What if there's only two people and it's Sean Penn and O.J. Simpson?
00:08:03.480
He's obviously a socialist and would be really annoying, but has some amazing stories, particularly
00:08:08.440
of his relationships that you might want to hear.
00:08:12.800
There is something about Sean Penn that is, I don't know.
00:08:20.860
If a fire broke out or something, he's a little bit, I think, I could be wrong, but I think
00:08:29.920
I don't want to spend time with Tom Cruise, but if there's trouble, Tom Cruise is the kind
00:08:38.900
I don't have that impression of Tom Cruise at all.
00:08:42.240
That he'd be good in a dark alley when people are...
00:08:46.220
Don't you remember all those stories when Tom Cruise, somebody steals a purse on the street
00:08:49.820
and he's like running after him, tracking him down, getting the purse and returning it?
00:08:53.640
I think you're talking about Mission Impossible 3.
00:09:27.580
I'd have to grab him by the shirt lapels and go,
00:09:54.720
If it's Justin Bieber and Arendtel James Simpson,
00:10:08.860
It would be interesting to see how he pulled it off.
00:10:19.720
Okay, so OJ Simpson, or who's the tongue woman?
00:10:40.160
I mean, you keep putting these annoying celebrities against a murderer.
00:10:45.140
I know, and I would go to the murderer before I would go to Miley Cyrus.
00:10:51.880
Imagine having a conversation with Miley Cyrus.
00:11:06.720
What about Chris Brown, the guy also a domestic abuser?
00:11:18.800
She must not have said anything that ticked him off.
00:11:26.440
It was after he had his little incident with Rihanna, was it?
00:11:31.660
I don't know if you call knocking someone out in the elevator.
00:11:43.400
But she interviewed him, and then it seemed like he was doing great, and he was trying
00:11:48.200
And then the next day, he punched a hole through the wall at Good Morning America's green room.
00:11:56.340
I was like, wow, glad you didn't ask a really dumb question or something, because that could
00:12:01.020
See, that's what's going to happen with O.J. and Mike Tyson, though, too, right?
00:12:07.140
I mean, O.J. Simpson, that's why you don't want him living in the neighborhood, is O.J.
00:12:11.460
Simpson is, I mean, he's a guy who, you just never know.
00:12:17.560
The terrorism is a good guide, though, for this, because we always see this with, there's
00:12:23.060
a lot of Islamic extremists around the world, but almost all the Islamic extremists that
00:12:26.840
actually commit attacks are between, like, 18 and 40, right?
00:12:31.900
So you get to the point where you're talking to a 70-year-old, the idea they're going to
00:12:34.880
snap and do something is usually, it's unlikely.
00:12:37.440
It does, there's a good little thing that goes on as people get older.
00:12:43.600
You can't cut people's heads off and deny it and go back and be like, ah, you know,
00:12:58.660
I mean, I don't, there's got to be conflict in him like crazy.
00:13:03.380
Either that or he is even more of a sociopath than I think he is.
00:13:07.620
There's a documentary about, called Shawshank Redemption, in which Morgan Freeman, he actually
00:13:15.200
did commit a crime when he was young, but then later on he was released and then he
00:13:23.320
That's why I'm glad O.J.'s out, because I didn't want him to get institutionalized.
00:13:29.040
A lot of guys get institutionalized once they get into a beach.
00:13:31.180
You guys know that's a Stephen King novel, right?
00:13:38.540
Let me tell you about Joe and Kathleen's story.
00:13:41.360
In 2008, Joe was an active duty military transferred to a new base, and at the same time, the market
00:13:47.940
collapsed, and he had to sell their home in Michigan.
00:13:58.400
Well, they were luckily blessed with a few good renters, and they made it all the way to
00:14:08.580
But now, they're trying to sell their house, and they're away from the house.
00:14:17.260
They got a call from an agent within two minutes.
00:14:22.220
Now, trying to sell their home 500 miles away, not ideal.
00:14:29.040
Within five days of putting their house on the market, Joe and Kathleen secured an offer
00:14:40.960
These are people that have been hand-selected by my team that are trying to do their best
00:14:46.180

00:14:58.540

00:15:04.100
This is the person that will help sell your house on time and for the most money.
00:15:51.240
Bill Cosby is the bartender at your daughter's wedding.
00:15:59.340
But you're at the wedding, so you could try to do something to intervene.
00:16:05.640
I don't think I want to leave my kids alone with someone like this.
00:16:09.040
But O.J. Simpson is the bartender at your daughter's wedding.
00:16:36.920
Everybody who knows has no fingers for sign language.
00:16:54.960
I don't know how you find yourself in that situation.
00:17:09.500
Eric Erickson, who we've had on the show before, said,
00:17:12.180
end of the screening, just people stood up and applauded.
00:17:31.880
I don't know if they do this all the rest of the country.
00:17:33.740
Has everybody else got the pleasures of Texas with movie theaters?
00:17:38.660
I don't think it's at least major metropolitan areas.
00:17:45.020
If you could just get somebody to massage you during it,
00:17:53.880
I'd add somebody else at the, you know, O.J. Mike Tyson, Bill Cosby party.
00:18:00.020
It's like one of those things, though, that people demanded for a long time.
00:18:03.580
And, you know, you kind of just say, like, why don't they do this?
00:18:05.980
And a lot of times there's a real reason why they don't do this.
00:18:09.360
The dining theaters are one of those things that everyone was like,
00:18:13.180
And, yeah, they should have been serving food here the entire time.
00:18:20.040
why don't they just serve breakfast all day, these idiots?
00:18:31.840
And now they've done it, and it's, like, increased their sales by, like, 30 or 40 percent.
00:18:41.100
But, you know, the movie theaters, I mean, the ones that just have the recliner seats now,
00:19:01.740
And there was one that's pretty close to us, and we all know which one it is,
00:19:05.080
but it's the old style, and all they have to do to proclaim themselves of, you know,
00:19:10.760
some kind of, it's, yeah, it's a big screen, and it's stadium theater.
00:19:17.420
You know, what's amazing is how much I love the fact that it's,
00:19:24.020
my favorite thing besides the reclining seats and everything else is that I don't have to search for a seat.
00:19:38.940
There's this new, you went to this new Look 360 theater?
00:19:43.800
I have to get the name of it, but they have a new, you know,
00:19:46.460
the new next-level technology at one of these theaters that I saw.
00:19:51.000
Was that a couple years ago, I guess, or a year ago?
00:19:55.140
It was like I was looking through a window watching this movie.
00:19:58.760
And the sound, it's all the new surround sound,
00:20:04.920
I mean, I have to only know how that's possible.
00:20:10.400
Finally, Dunkirk opens this weekend, and OJ will not be there.
00:20:37.840
Remember where you were when OJ Simpson was in the Bronco?
00:20:53.980
The, what are some other, probably the killing of Osama bin Laden.
00:20:59.640
The killing of the assassination of JFK, if you're old enough to remember.
00:21:07.760
And the Bronco chase, I think everybody remembers.
00:21:13.880
I mean, besides of, I mean, can you think of another, I know when they were chasing a murderer?
00:21:25.660
Yeah, JFK, but that's the only, like, murder thing that I can, I mean, everything else.
00:21:44.720
This is what else was going on in 1994 on television.
00:21:48.640
Just to put you back on what, where, how long it's been.
00:22:52.580
In 1991, in 1991, the answering machine was first introduced.
00:23:12.820
So, this is the year that the Sony PlayStation came out.
00:23:26.480
We didn't have guided missiles in the first Gulf War?
00:23:35.660
During the 1991, 1990-91 Gulf War, ordered his armies to invade Kuwait, blah, blah, blah,
00:23:42.700
United States Mountain, an all-out bombardment of Iraqi troops, blah, blah, blah.
00:23:47.020
Um, during the war, Iraq was also hit with thousands of precision-guided bombs, a weapon
00:23:53.280
that had never been seen before large-scale use in combat.
00:23:58.220
Yet, in 1995, four years after the war, GPS became fully operational.
00:24:11.680
It also helped make precision-guided bombs more precise.
00:24:20.500
That was, uh, if you've, um, if you're interested in that day, if you've seen the 30 for 30 that
00:24:25.680
ESPN did about June 17th, 1994, which was the, uh, the chase, this, at the same time,
00:24:33.800
the Rangers were winning their first Stanley Cup in a zillion years, and it was a huge, I mean,
00:24:38.320
in New York, and the Knicks were in the finals, and they were breaking away from the finals
00:24:46.780
They didn't know whether they should cover OJ in a Bronco or the NBA Finals.
00:24:56.840
There's about 25 huge things in sports that day.
00:24:59.040
So, think of this, a year before, we, we, um, had not yet heard, bum-bum-bum-bum, do you
00:25:22.320
Um, computer animation was still four years away, three years away from Nintendo 64.
00:25:40.720
That was, those are the days of dial-up, right?
00:25:51.980
It took five minutes or ten minutes for a webpage to load.
00:25:57.620
You'd go eat, and when you come back, when you came back, you'd hope that it was finally
00:26:02.180
We, we have to have this guy who was wrongly accused.
00:26:05.600
He lives right around us, and he is, I just had dinner with him.
00:26:10.900
He was wrongly accused for murder, um, and went to jail in 1977.
00:26:16.760
Got out in 2012 or 2013, um, and is not bitter at all.
00:26:22.560
It was his cousin who killed somebody, and he was wrongly accused, and then he pleaded
00:26:28.460
guilty because the, the, uh, DA said, or the, the, his representation, I can't remember
00:26:36.220
which, um, said, if you plead guilty, give you 10 years.
00:26:41.140
He pled guilty, and then he got life without parole.
00:26:48.500
Finally, the truth came out, and, uh, they, you know, reversed his sentence, and, and, uh,
00:26:57.920
So I asked him, I said, so, 1977, what was the most amazing thing when you get out?
00:27:07.120
He said, well, first of all, I could, you could see a cell phone on television, but until
00:27:12.540
you actually hold an Apple iPhone, he said, you have absolutely no idea.
00:27:17.580
He said, they handed this, he said, I think it was his mom was on the phone when he was
00:27:22.080
first released, and the attorney said, your mother is, your mother wants to talk to you.
00:27:26.220
And he said, he handed me this piece of glass, and I'm like, what the hell is this?
00:27:30.660
And, uh, he said, I talked to her upside, you know, I had it upside down.
00:27:36.400
Um, uh, he said, the biggest thing was getting into a car.
00:27:43.260
He said, I, I, the last time I was in a car was 1977.
00:27:47.600
He said, you get into a car now, and it's completely different.
00:27:51.560
Imagine going back to 1994 and seeing how different our life was.
00:28:02.060
We don't recognize it because it's, I mean, it's, everything is just, in some ways, everything
00:28:13.580
But look, as, as everything has gotten easier, talk to two people that won a scholarship, okay,
00:28:22.340
We were doing a, a college scholarship for, I believe, I can't remember what the, the rules
00:28:29.240
were, but these, these, uh, it was a high school, uh, contest to, to, uh, write an essay
00:28:36.840
about George Washington, and the other one was Abraham Lincoln.
00:28:45.740
Um, when they came in yesterday, the two winners, they were great papers, but one said, I had
00:28:51.680
no idea that George Washington was a farmer or that, you know, I just thought of him as
00:28:57.960
I didn't know that, you know, he did all these things.
00:29:01.620
The, the girl who wrote about Abraham Lincoln said, I had no idea that he was a lawyer.
00:29:06.840
And I thought about that all day last night, after I talked to them, I thought, here we
00:29:13.800
are in the information age where you can Google anything, and we have less information.
00:29:24.740
This, this explosion of information has just made things more confusing, and now you don't,
00:29:32.420
You would think you'd be able to know what's true.
00:29:35.340
You'd be able to go and find it, but people don't do it.
00:29:39.020
We're less informed now in the information age.
00:29:45.220
Our sponsor this half hour, uh, is, uh, Casper Sleep.
00:29:49.440
By the way, have you heard, have you heard what's happening in Poland?
00:29:53.420
Poland, uh, took another step away from democracy.
00:29:57.300
Uh, and they're starting to go, like Hungary, they're starting to go hard, hard right.
00:30:03.360
Um, yesterday in Poland, they, um, they allowed the ruling party to replace all the judges.
00:30:13.520
So the Supreme Court judges and all of the judges now can be appointed, can be fired and appointed
00:30:20.820
by the ruling party, which is going to let, I mean, it's just, I mean, they're, you're going
00:30:26.340
Isn't that what they fought years and years against?
00:30:28.500
Uh, no, they have been, it has been repositioned in their minds to say, no, this is, this is not
00:30:42.200
And the guys who were part of, uh, you know, the solidarity movement, they were testifying
00:30:47.240
yesterday in front of their Congress saying one of them showed up in a prison outfit, you
00:30:52.860
know, from the old gulags and said, what is wrong with you?
00:30:58.120
Anyway, Casper Sleep is our sponsor this half hour.
00:31:00.700
Middle of the night, you're tossing and turning.
00:31:04.700
Get rid of the heat trapping mattress and sleep as cool as the other side of the pillow.
00:31:11.480
Man, there's nothing better than the cold side of a pillow.
00:31:14.720
Casper has two high tech foams that will guarantee that you have a great night's sleep, sleeping
00:31:19.820
cool, comfortable, and fully supported every single night.
00:31:25.560
You're not going to believe it that it actually holds a mattress and it makes it easy to get
00:31:29.360
it from the, you know, front front door to the bedroom.
00:31:32.600
You put it on, you know, the bed frame and then open up the box.
00:31:38.440
And when you cut that, when you cut that, that tie, the mattress unfolds.
00:31:44.700
And within a minute, you put a sheet on that thing and lay down and it is comfortable.
00:31:52.000
So you can try it risk-free for a hundred nights in your own home.
00:31:55.920
If you don't love it, they'll come and pick it up and they'll refund every single penny.
00:32:02.080
Sleeping on a mattress is the only way to really know what the right mattress is for you.
00:32:43.480
I don't know if anybody is paying attention to this, but the dollar has lost 10% during this Russia and health care nonsense.
00:32:53.260
10% of its value, which means you're going to start paying 10% more for everything that you buy overseas.
00:33:07.300
But we're probably going to make that up with the 10% higher costs here in America.
00:33:22.080
It's been a while since we've seen a drop this much.
00:33:25.980
The free trade stuff is kind of interesting now.
00:33:27.520
They're saying that Bannon's being pushed out of these meetings.
00:33:29.480
He hasn't been to a trade meeting in reportedly six weeks.
00:33:34.120
And they're saying that the more free market people, you know, like Cohn and such in the administration are starting to get a little bit more power.
00:33:42.240
Now, these things go up and down all the time in this administration.
00:33:44.520
Like, people get power, lose power, get power, lose power all the time.
00:33:50.860
And there were reports a couple weeks ago that these threats of tariffs and everything, they, like Europe and other countries are now coming up with their responses.
00:34:06.340
Remember, we're the number two exporter in the world.
00:34:11.240
So our stuff goes overseas, and now they're going to start putting tariffs on things that are like...
00:34:18.560
Yeah, they're not going to just do it out of nowhere.
00:34:22.640
And they're targeting things that, by the way, are going to hurt Trump voters.
00:34:26.400
I mean, you know, it's middle of the country farmers.
00:34:30.020
If we start putting tariffs on the people who are already the forgotten people are going to be squeezed to death.
00:34:39.680
Can you think, Glenn, we were talking about this yesterday a little bit off the air.
00:34:43.400
If, let's just say, I have no faith in Congress or anything like that, so throw that out there.
00:34:48.360
But if they do pass a 10% corporate income tax, what that would mean to this country?
00:34:54.340
Can you imagine the amount of jobs that would create?
00:35:01.680
We should be calling your congressman or your senator and saying right now, get rid of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.
00:35:14.980
They have not been helpful to the president's agenda.
00:35:26.320
Right now, if you just passed a 10% tax on corporations, the jobs that would be created would be remarkable.
00:35:41.300
And, you know, it can't be a, well, we're going to do this and then it'll expire in three years.
00:35:50.600
They're going to save their money and that will stop job creation.
00:35:56.440
That's the problem with all these tax cuts is they make them contingent so they expire.
00:36:02.700
Well, if you know you have a tax cut and you know you're going to be able to count on it, that's when you invest.
00:36:10.140
If you know that I'm just going to save 10% right now or in this case, what is it, 30% or 20%, 20%, 29% now?
00:36:22.640
If you save 30%, but you know that it could expire and it will expire in two years, you're going to take that money and you're going to invest it and buy back your stock.
00:36:34.200
You're going to do things that will make you more money because it's not lasting.
00:36:40.840
But if you know that it's going to last, that's when you'll invest.
00:36:44.440
That's when you'll say, okay, this is going to be here for a while so we can afford to hire a few people.
00:36:57.960
First thing we should be demanding is that Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are driven out of leadership.
00:37:09.720
They are not helping the forgotten man and they are not helping the president.
00:37:47.520
We need to thank you for listening to this program.
00:37:50.960
We just got some ratings information in and we're up double digit growth year to year.
00:38:01.980
Especially if you happen to be in, for example, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis, Sacramento, Salt Lake, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Kansas City, Columbus, West Palm, to name a few.
00:38:14.700
Now, the same cannot be said if you happen to be working at Fox News.
00:38:33.680
And I don't think I don't think I don't think people really realize what happened when Bill O'Reilly left.
00:38:40.940
And we begin there with Bill O'Reilly right now.
00:39:10.280
Welcome to the program from Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:39:25.640
I know you don't want to talk about this because I know you you don't speak ill of your former employer.
00:39:36.200
The network is suffering greatly from your departure.
00:39:42.880
Tucker Carlson is down 22 percent from its performance in Q1 at 9 p.m.
00:39:58.800
It looks like the whole thing is really cratering.
00:40:02.920
This is this is not good if you're a conservative, but expected 8 p.m. down.
00:40:18.840
Any thoughts on that, Bill, at all that you want to say?
00:40:23.420
First of all, congratulations on your ratings going up because, you know, in a fractured media landscape, which means everybody's got the machines that they're in their hands.
00:40:49.940
You know, as far as FNC is concerned, you know, I had 20 plus good years there.
00:40:56.320
I think that when you have a change in presentation, a change in presentation on any media or in any sports team, any competitive situation, you run a risk.
00:41:13.560
OK, but the presentation has changed that when you were there and I was there together.
00:41:23.460
I would agree with you that, yes, you change anything and it does hurt the ratings.
00:41:37.860
OK, Tom Scott is the he was the founder of Nantucket Nectars and he's a you know, he's a big businessman.
00:41:45.880
And we were talking and we talked about the loss of you at Fox.
00:41:53.400
And, you know, he said, you don't even have to agree, agree with Bill O'Reilly.
00:41:57.900
He said, but I'm not hearing anybody talk about what that loss means.
00:42:05.540
Yeah. And, you know, it's I grew up in this small town, Mount Vernon, Washington, and I lived up on on Warren Street.
00:42:14.020
202 Warren was my house and a block away was the Baptist Church.
00:42:18.460
And it used to have bells that rang and down in the town was the carnation milk plant.
00:42:28.680
And at eight o'clock at noon and at five o'clock, they blow the whistle for the factory.
00:42:35.540
When those two things stopped, it was just unsettling.
00:42:40.640
And it it that it changed and it was the mark of the end of an era in that town.
00:42:48.460
You know, you didn't have to watch you or agree with you, Bill, to have a sense of stability in the conservative movement.
00:42:59.200
And you were always there and it was always the same.
00:43:03.720
And you were like that that whistle or that bell.
00:43:06.540
I don't think conservatives understand that everything is up for grabs right now and everything is in flux and changing.
00:43:22.760
So we had, you know, when we did our surveys, a lot of independents and some liberals come in because I basically did fact based presentation so that if you wanted to know facts that you were not going to hear on the network news or CNN and MSNBC,
00:43:42.660
For example, if I had been on the air last night, I would have concentrated on OJ Simpson's narcissism where this guy has the absolute gall to tell a parole board, hey, I'm a non-confrontational person.
00:43:58.820
And, you know, and so I would have brought in, I would have said, here are the five reasons you should be in jail forever for killing his ex-wife and Ron Goleman.
00:44:08.800
And I would have listed the five reasons right on the screen.
00:44:13.240
You got his DNA at the scene and then on and on and on and on.
00:44:16.940
I would have selected the top five reasons, but the DNA was number one.
00:44:21.560
And then then I would have said I covered the trial and the reason that he got off and this would have been provocative and all hell would have broke loose.
00:44:29.320
But that's OK, because I'm not afraid to do that is because the African-American jury simply hates the justice system and wasn't going to give the justice system Simpson's head.
00:44:48.560
OK, because it's what the presentation now is for FNC, for Fox.
00:44:56.160
They got they got a lot of talent still on that air is more of a equivocation back.
00:45:04.600
OK, so Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly, we don't equivocate.
00:45:17.260
So you get you get a presentation that isn't as exact.
00:45:24.700
If you're going to change that, if your management is going to say, we don't want what O'Reilly was bringing, even though he was bringing in five, six million viewers a night, we don't want that anymore.
00:45:35.900
OK, we want more equivocation, more subtlety, more, you know, oh, well, maybe he could have.
00:45:45.160
And that is why I think the numbers are going down.
00:46:12.020
He he tries to help the Haitians and he tries to do good stuff.
00:46:15.420
He's just he just allows himself to be used because Sean Penn's whole presentation is emotion.
00:46:24.540
Jack Nicholson once told me I'm name dropping here, name dropping alert.
00:46:29.940
Nicholson really likes Penn and I like Nicholson.
00:46:35.940
And, you know, whenever I get to talk to him, I take the opportunity.
00:46:42.780
He's just, you know, the son of a guy was blacklisted, a writer in the 50s.
00:46:48.860
And he's got this far left view and it's all about emotion.
00:46:55.880
Yeah, I've heard that about him, too, that he's really actually a really good guy.
00:47:05.680
I mean, you've ever sat down and really talked to him about how do you not see this guy as a is a brutal dictator?
00:47:16.540
Well, because because he's it's a it's a motion.
00:47:18.880
You know, his father, Leo Penn, was a communist and, you know, he was raised in that environment.
00:47:25.380
And so, you know, maybe I should back off from was a communist, all all facts point to that.
00:47:37.800
I'm just saying I'm just saying it's in a while.
00:47:40.300
Once in a while, you know, you know, I have not.
00:47:47.700
So, Bill, let me let me talk to you about this.
00:47:51.340
We have made a deal on this show kind of kind of almost unspoken.
00:47:56.140
It's not like we really, you know, spent time in a meeting.
00:47:59.140
I just said it on the air and we all kind of looked at each other like, yeah, that's right.
00:48:03.200
We're not talking, but we'll bring updates on the Russia thing.
00:48:07.220
But we're not just talking about the Russia thing over and over again, because there's nothing to talk about until somebody brings charges or says there's nothing here.
00:48:16.500
I mean, this this back and forth about Russia is doing nobody any good and we're losing valuable time, you know, actually helping people that need help.
00:48:29.920
Talk to me a little bit about what you think about health care.
00:48:34.760
But let me let the Russia thing is interesting.
00:48:37.640
And then you can take your break because I know your ad rates are going through the roof now.
00:48:44.800
It's a contrivance and it's being used by the hate Trump, destroy Trump media and the Democratic Party to make make it impossible for Trump to govern.
00:48:58.760
There is a possibility that Paul Manafort and I tweeted this today and I've got two million tweet followers and they follow me around wherever I go.
00:49:09.540
Um, well, yeah, no, I think that's pretty good.
00:49:12.860
Again, it is good for a guy, especially for a guy who says the Twitter and the tweeter.
00:49:25.400
Anyway, look, it's being used to try to destroy the Trump administration.
00:49:29.460
That being said, keep your eye on Paul Manafort, the former campaign just in the campaign for a few weeks,
00:49:35.980
because I think that this guy is the one that's going to go down.
00:49:40.360
And I tweeted that today back and I'm Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:49:43.740
Uh, by the way, I just, uh, you know, I don't mean to quibble here, but you have 1.98 million viewers, not two.
00:50:01.360
And, uh, we'll be back in just a second with Bill O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:50:05.740
Sign up for his daily podcast, uh, and, and get the truth and the no spin from Bill O'Reilly himself.
00:50:11.580
Every day, you can get it at Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:50:15.100
And now this, if you travel for business, stop wasting your time pricing flights and hotels at the same old sites.
00:50:29.080
You save money by bundling flights and hotels together for one price.
00:50:33.940
Then they reward you with a gift card to places like Amazon every time you buy a trip.
00:50:39.180
Now, it takes the average person, I think, like 87 minutes to book their travel, book their, uh, hotels, everything else.
00:50:48.200
The, the, the upside difference is that you can do this now in under five minutes.
00:50:58.540
You'll go off and you'll see if you can find a better price.
00:51:02.900
And it's because they bundle everything together.
00:51:18.820
You're incentivized because you get the gift card from Amazon.
00:51:21.820
And your company is incentivized because they save a lot of money on travel.
00:51:35.480
If you're a business leader, you're in business for yourself, or you're just a frequent traveler,
00:51:41.480
this is the way to book your hotel and your flight.
00:51:46.700
Right now, guaranteed to get a $100 gift card from Amazon.
00:51:50.240
On your first trip, guaranteed, go to upside.com.
00:51:57.360
Use the promo code BECK to get that guarantee of a $100 gift card.
00:52:23.320
So let me, let me delve, let me delve into the Russia thing with you just a bit because you
00:52:28.960
said this is, you know, uh, uh, a plan by the liberals to make sure that he can't govern.
00:52:36.140
And, and I think, yes, it is, but it is also, there's bad stuff that was going on with, with
00:52:45.100
his people, um, and, and he is not making it any better for himself.
00:52:51.300
For instance, this quote, secret meeting between him and, and Putin.
00:52:56.320
I mean, why not just come out instead of saying, I, I bumped into him on the way to the buffet
00:53:16.500
I mean, um, uh, I agree that the president has not, um, he needs to read Saul Alinsky's
00:53:28.520
Donald Trump needs to read Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals.
00:53:32.580
That's what, because that's what's happening to him.
00:53:35.840
Alinsky, uh, uh, who was an, uh, an absolute, um, radical progressive American who wanted to
00:53:44.080
overthrow our capitalistic system, devise guerrilla tactics to diminish or harm his opponents.
00:53:54.160
But he, but he is also, I mean, I don't think he needs to read it.
00:53:59.860
I mean, you know, uh, Trump lives that himself.
00:54:03.040
He needs to read it so he can, so he can not play into what Alinsky's doing.
00:54:07.340
Um, you know, Alinsky's dead, but his, his, uh, adherence.
00:54:11.460
Look, so it's pretty obvious to you and me that president Trump is not defending himself
00:54:25.820
He, he, he is actually, now you're into speculation.
00:54:31.780
I'm going to bring up something that the, you know, he is now talking about his attorneys
00:54:42.260
It just makes you look, um, uh, like you're, you have something to hide.
00:54:48.040
Just why can't the president focus on tax reform?
00:54:54.740
It's, he plays into the hands of those who want to destroy him by elongating the story.
00:55:03.200
And giving his critics another week on CNN of BS.
00:55:10.040
And, but if he would read Alinsky, then he would know why they're doing what they're
00:55:15.580
Um, so look, I've always said, I'm not afraid of the Mueller investigation.
00:55:19.820
I don't think that Trump should be trying to undermine Mueller because Mueller can't
00:55:26.380
He can't do anything unless he has a fact that he can present to the American people.
00:55:41.960
So if Trump didn't do anything and he's adamant that he did not do anything with the Russians
00:55:47.500
during the campaign, then he doesn't have anything to worry about.
00:55:52.660
You can't present, you can't present opinion and half-baked stuff to the American people.
00:55:57.800
Mueller's career would be destroyed if he did that.
00:56:00.360
Does it matter that, uh, does it matter if it turns out he did, um, have contact with
00:56:08.940
the Russians and he was looking for this information?
00:56:21.420
It's the old saying, it isn't the crime, it's the cover.
00:56:24.380
So, so how, and so if he did do it, then I mean, the American people will probably turn
00:56:31.280
What was interesting, I don't know if you saw this poll.
00:56:33.400
There's a new poll out that shows that 45% of Republicans do not believe the meeting
00:56:39.920
even took place, even though it was Donald Jr. that released the email.
00:56:50.100
I can, I, I gotta tell you that the way these polling questions are worded, this, that,
00:56:58.160
But it would be hard for me to believe that 45% of Republicans think the meeting didn't
00:57:03.080
I'm, I'm one of those guys who believes that the media is actively trying to subvert the
00:57:10.560
Well, I wouldn't, I, all of this stuff to me, you know, I got to look at it.
00:57:19.080
Well, they're going to talk about healthcare and tax cuts and what else Bill O'Reilly saw
00:57:23.460
in the news that makes a difference to your life.
00:57:31.160
The day, the day, the day, the world went nuclear new book for a young readers is the
00:57:45.920
companion to killing the rising sun by Bill O'Reilly.
00:57:54.260
Test your knowledge of the atomic bomb history.
00:57:59.360
Where was the first atomic bomb successfully tested?
00:58:06.800
Where did the physicist Enrico Fermi first meet with Navy officials to discuss fission?
00:58:13.400
I'm probably wrong on this, but I want to say Columbia University.
00:58:23.480
That's my, it's my, it's on Bill O'Reilly.com, but I didn't do the quiz.
00:58:33.300
Albert Einstein wrote to which president urging him to look into atomic research.
00:58:41.580
In what year did more money become available for uranium research from the war department?
00:58:53.840
Who was put in charge of the new uranium research project?
00:59:05.380
Who was the director at the Los Alamos Laboratory?
00:59:12.500
How many times, how many types of bombs were being developed during the war?
00:59:21.360
It might be, you know, that's a tough question.
00:59:27.160
The United States dropped atomic bombs on which Japanese city?
00:59:41.120
After many tense years of negotiation, what was signed in 1963?
00:59:51.220
I would say the, I'd say a limited nuclear test ban treaty.
01:00:00.760
Um, so let's go to, let's go to, uh, what Congress should be doing right now.
01:00:09.380
Just before we get there, I just want to tell everybody that now that you've ruined the quiz
01:00:13.300
on billoreilly.com, they all know, but you should still go in there because we have a lot of history
01:00:17.160
stuff, uh, going on and, and we're turning that into a news slash history, uh, website,
01:00:26.060
Um, would bill O'Reilly be happy with a simple repeal, no replace, just repeal at this point
01:00:34.720
with a two year window to actually, you know, replace it and fix it.
01:00:43.100
If you want to share more or it's, I mean, this doesn't have to be a yes or no interview.
01:00:46.740
The basic it's basically for those of us who understand that, uh, the Obamacare legislation
01:00:58.580
It's taking money out of the pockets of working Americans, anybody making more than 75 K and
01:01:04.180
putting it into the pockets of people who don't have a lot.
01:01:12.380
It comes down to Barack Obama wanting to take income from Americans who have a little
01:01:16.980
bit more and giving it to Americans who have a little bit less because you can't see certain
01:01:22.000
doctors, um, uh, the healthcare system is in disarray because insurance companies have
01:01:32.400
If you give the pinheads in Congress two years, maybe they'll get something done.
01:01:36.500
I would rather see one year, but these people are so inefficient, so incompetent that one
01:01:41.620
year they start to shake because you know, that cuts into their gym time.
01:01:45.300
So let me ask you this, Bill, I give Susan Collins a break because as a Republican, she
01:01:57.600
I mean, everybody else voted for it like 178 times.
01:02:02.840
I don't give her a break because she's not a Republican.
01:02:10.740
Again, this, let me bring something fresh and new to your life.
01:02:18.520
The reason that Susan Collins, who is not a Republican, opposes this Republican health
01:02:35.200
And she is an income redistributionist, Ms. Collins.
01:02:49.660
She's never been for the repeal of the repeal of Obamacare.
01:02:55.120
However, the ones like Portman in Ohio, who has said to the people, has on his own website
01:03:03.200
how damaging Obamacare is to the state of Ohio and Ohio's being hit really hard for him
01:03:10.200
to come out and say, day one, yeah, I'm not repealing it.
01:03:14.660
There's, it will do no good for the state of Ohio.
01:03:20.760
When, when all these Republicans knew that Obama wouldn't sign it, they used that to speak
01:03:27.700
to their base, to get votes, to get more money, to, uh, you know, gain in the polls.
01:03:36.120
And I don't count Susan Collins as this because she never was for it.
01:03:46.320
These are just the weasels who are willing to pop their head up above ground.
01:03:49.600
But, you know, they'll always give you an excuse that, um, Medicaid, uh, cutbacks are
01:03:57.260
That's Portman's mantra because he plays into the Kasich, um, the Kasich, uh, scenario of,
01:04:04.340
um, we in, in Ohio are compassionate and that we need the Medicaid expansion to continue
01:04:13.480
So, you know, they're not going to admit to that, but I, my, my posture is, is what's
01:04:23.800
You have to, because there are children involved, right?
01:04:25.920
There are irresponsible parents who won't or can't make a living, but there's kids.
01:04:32.260
So you gotta have Medicaid, but you can't have unlimited Medicaid and you can't have
01:04:38.720
You can't have the system being so corrupt that anybody can game it.
01:04:44.780
This Republican thing caps the Medicaid and then slaps it back into the states and
01:04:52.680
So we're only going to give you this much taxpayer money.
01:04:55.720
So I've been, I've been saying this, this week that we have, uh, a situation to where,
01:05:02.420
uh, Paul Ryan and, um, and Mitch McConnell have proven themselves to be no friend of the
01:05:16.000
They have the biggest smoke screen in the world.
01:05:19.740
While everybody is focused on Russia, watch the other hand.
01:05:22.960
The other hand is doing nothing but, but strangling the forgotten man in the heartland of America
01:05:32.460
And I know that firsthand because he wouldn't put a case law for a bus standalone vote.
01:05:38.140
I think that, that, uh, the speaker got it through the house.
01:05:42.400
He can't, you can't come down on him as hard as you come down on McConnell, who's an old time
01:05:54.420
I mean, there's like 50 things on a man's resume, but now if they can't get a tax cut
01:05:59.640
pass, if they can't do that, then you kiss the Republican party goodbye for, uh, six years.
01:06:07.660
Americans are saying, okay, look, you know, the healthcare thing, we really don't understand.
01:06:12.360
You know, really, we're angry about it, but we don't understand it.
01:06:19.020
And if you can't get that done with a majority in the house and the Senate, if you can't
01:06:26.180
Pack up, get out because the Democrats are going to come in big time and then you're going
01:06:35.040
If, if you, I agree with you, we will have a socialist country.
01:06:40.000
If the Republicans fail on things like tax cuts, if they fail,
01:06:45.560
they're, they're, they're toast, they're toast.
01:06:47.420
And we are trying to, and they're so, they're so stupid.
01:06:50.780
The economy is actually growing in an article today in the wall street journal says that
01:06:55.520
the lower, uh, wage earners are growing the fastest.
01:07:01.620
So Trump's bombast and his threats and all of that, it's all working.
01:07:06.000
Stock markets up more money in people's pockets to invest.
01:07:13.280
I mean, look, if you, if, if you go into check, uh, the Czech Republic, you're going
01:07:17.640
But if you're standing here in, in Missouri, you're doing okay.
01:07:21.040
And if they pass a tax cut, the economy will, will even do better.
01:07:26.060
So these people, I mean, they're just driving me nuts.
01:07:28.400
So what happens in, if, if they, if they don't, if they don't pass at least a good tax cut,
01:07:42.260
I don't even know if he's going to make it to 2020.
01:07:44.460
If he doesn't start to recon, if he, if he, he's got to consolidate, but if he doesn't get
01:07:50.880
the tax cut done, if the, if the president can't get that done, I just, I mean, uh, I
01:07:57.580
I mean, you're a lame duck and you got three years left to go on your term because it's
01:08:05.600
I think the president has got to stop everything and just, you know, get into the tax cut business
01:08:11.640
So if, if he can't get this done, you think he'll lose so much support that they'll be
01:08:17.280
able to impeach him or do you think, no, but you just said power, you know, party is
01:08:24.320
So you, but you just said, you don't think he'll make it for the, you know, to, for the
01:08:29.080
Because once you, once you lose power, once you lose support of the people, okay.
01:08:35.180
Once you, once you, you know, they did, they just talk, they'll walk away.
01:08:39.920
Then the bad guys come in and they're going to throw everything they can at him.
01:08:46.680
I want everybody to check out Cheryl Atkinson's book, The Smear.
01:08:51.960
Um, it's right behind, um, Legends and Lies, The Civil War and the New York Times.
01:09:12.280
Every American should read that book and then you're going to know what's going to happen
01:09:17.940
If he loses his support and he hasn't so far, his people are staying with him.
01:09:23.000
They are softening, but they're staying with him.
01:09:32.740
Uh, he's got a great website and it's getting better every day and it's a bill O'Reilly.com
01:09:37.540
and, uh, make sure you join his, uh, his little club.
01:10:06.220
I do want to talk to you and I, I do want to disagree with Bill on one thing.
01:10:12.500
I will tell you that if we can get tax cuts, um, we have a chance of pulling this out of
01:10:19.860
a nosedive, um, elongating the problem perhaps, but at least giving us chance to, uh, really
01:10:30.640
That doesn't affect Czechoslovakia in a bad way.
01:10:36.280
Um, it means that the goods that we're selling, they will be able to buy more of.
01:10:42.260
So that is good because that means our jobs, uh, are, are, you know, will increase that
01:10:52.540
The problem is the dollar losing 10% value means that the price of everything that you
01:10:59.220
buy from overseas, anything that is bought from China or anywhere else, the cost of those
01:11:06.060
have just gone up 10% because we have 10% less in purchasing power with our dollar.
01:11:13.040
This is why, uh, a strong dollar has, has always been a double-edged sword.
01:11:23.340
Now we are the number two exporter and this is going to be good.
01:11:28.540
Um, uh, but every time you walk into Walmart, know that almost everything you buy there is
01:11:34.180
from China, uh, and it's going to cost 10% more.
01:11:37.940
So you're going to feel that inflation, uh, because of the dollar deflating.
01:11:43.080
So what is a hedge against deflation and inflation?
01:11:49.320
It has always been gold because the gold standard, it, it, it doesn't change.
01:11:55.960
You, you, um, uh, you know, it's, it's what, when things always break down and this is for
01:12:02.580
5,000 years, when things really break down, you can't, you can't get away from it.
01:12:09.120
You need something that is of intrinsic value and that, that something has always been gold.
01:12:18.840
Well, I will tell you that if you're investing in your 401k or your IRA right now, and you
01:12:25.600
have money invested in the stock market, the stock market, please hear me is bogus.
01:12:33.620
The government has made money cheap for the banks.
01:12:37.760
The banks have taken that money and they've put it in their coffers.
01:12:41.680
Then they've given that money to the big boys and the big boys, these giant corporations,
01:12:49.440
They're taking all of those profits and they're buying their own stock back with that borrowed
01:12:59.800
When, when, when this game goes away, that stock market is not going to last.
01:13:07.140
You could take 10% of your IRA and you could put it into gold right now.
01:13:12.960
And right now, if you invest $25,000 or more, you'll get a one year price guarantee.
01:13:19.240
If you put $2,500 in, you get three months price guarantee, which means if the price of
01:13:27.600
If the price of gold goes down over the next year and you're at $25,000, they'll make it
01:14:00.440
I mean, I think Bill O'Reilly just made news here.
01:14:04.380
Saying that he thought that he doesn't know if Donald Trump will make it his full term.
01:14:09.440
Because if Congress doesn't pass tax cuts, his base will erode and then the wolves will
01:14:24.100
That's why we've been saying this week, you want to help, call Congress, get McConnell out
01:14:57.720
I got to warn you, Don Imus just wrote, said, I've got a few things I have to say.
01:15:05.240
I'm not sure what he has to say, what he wants to talk about, or if we should even
01:15:11.940
Maybe we can all pretend we're not home right now.
01:15:15.060
But he may be calling in in the next few minutes.
01:15:16.860
Also, I think the greatest governor in America today and definitely the greatest governor I
01:15:23.400
have ever lived under, Greg Abbott from the great state of Texas, is going to be joining
01:15:30.800
Also, a little more on OJ Simpson and what you can do.
01:15:36.220
If you're a Trump supporter, what you can do to make Bill O'Reilly's, you know, I guess
01:15:45.220
He just said that he didn't know if Donald Trump was going to last his whole term.
01:15:55.000
Why he said that and what that means to you, we begin there right now.
01:16:30.000
Bill O'Reilly did not say that, that, uh, Donald Trump would be impeached, but it was
01:16:36.860
It might be just through resignation because he said he'll have zero support and then the
01:16:46.000
If he didn't pass tax reform being the biggest one.
01:16:48.560
If, if Congress didn't start to move now and start passing tax reform, look, tax reform
01:16:56.240
is the biggest thing that will affect absolutely everybody.
01:16:59.540
If they do real tax reform and pass it, which they can do, they have both the house and
01:17:11.500
I mean, at this point he'll take a win of any kind, so he'll sign it.
01:17:17.500
If you can't get that through, Bill O'Reilly said, I don't think he makes it his whole term.
01:17:23.400
I'm not sure if he makes it his whole term because then you start to lose the, the support
01:17:28.620
of your base who just, and we know it, we're hearing it all the time.
01:17:33.340
You know, look, I need a couple more bucks in my, my paycheck.
01:17:42.820
What do you think about the theory that because of the failure of the healthcare plan, at least
01:17:48.080
so far, that this makes tax reform more likely because Republicans are going to have to have
01:17:53.280
something to pass, something to pass, some success.
01:17:56.340
I think with the, with the death of tax reform or the death of, uh, at least so far of the
01:18:03.060
healthcare bill, um, that I think makes not just tax reform, but possibly really good tax
01:18:14.640
I know that the GOP has already announced that they're running against the media in 2018.
01:18:26.260
It might save the president, but it will not save Congress.
01:18:32.540
And if you think things are bad right now with Trump, lose Congress.
01:18:39.560
Well, if he doesn't accomplish any of the goals that he set out to do, I mean, what was
01:18:44.760
that, Pat, you had a story earlier this week that we didn't cover and I don't want to
01:18:48.640
go in depth in it, but, um, the story that you had, uh, earlier this week of the list
01:18:54.500
of things that he promised and they're just not happening.
01:18:57.580
And I know people say, Hey, let's talk about his accomplishments.
01:19:02.760
Um, you know, he got Gorsuch in, there was a couple of other things that he's done that
01:19:14.360
Also give him credit with, uh, with net neutrality and the FCC as you have high was a really good
01:19:20.320
Um, there's been some really good things that have happened.
01:19:22.760
Um, but a lot of the big promises have not, I mean, it's early still.
01:19:27.220
Um, but it's not going well because of Congress.
01:19:30.820
Well, yeah, I mean, I, you know, I'm again, the sell on Donald Trump was that he could,
01:19:39.660
Cause you, cause we've already, we knew the Congress sucked.
01:19:44.260
The, the sell on Trump was that he was going to be different and make the Congress do things
01:19:48.200
So far it hasn't come to pass, but again, we're six months in.
01:19:52.680
I don't think that Donald Trump is, you know, Donald Trump is the, um, and I mean this, I don't
01:20:05.420
Donald Trump is, you know, is, is the, is the, the, the, the, the circus that gets everybody
01:20:14.980
excited and you're like, Oh, it's going to be great.
01:20:17.720
And the fireworks and, and the elephants, and it's going to be great.
01:20:28.400
He's not the guy who says, wait a minute, hang on.
01:20:31.360
He's the guy who gets you excited about the deal.
01:20:34.240
Now he hasn't done that because he's so busy with the Russia stuff and the press, but the
01:20:39.900
problem is we don't have an architect for conservative ideas at all.
01:20:45.260
At least in McConnell or, uh, Paul Ryan, they both have to go.
01:20:55.980
And that's the issue I would say with, with Congress is that the great thing about Trump
01:20:59.840
is that he'll just sign anything like get him something that has a Republican stamp on
01:21:05.840
So when you have that opportunity, you should put something really good.
01:21:09.260
For example, like, let's go back to immigration reform for a second.
01:21:11.780
Now, if good immigration reform, Republican or not, uh, you know, uh, hard border guys,
01:21:18.640
you know, good, good border guys pass something when George W. Bush was president, there's
01:21:23.940
a good chance George W. Bush would have vetoed it.
01:21:27.440
Because George W. Bush was not on the same page as the people who were tough on the border.
01:21:31.680
That you have an opportunity with this president.
01:21:35.000
That he will go on board with really the details of these policies are not important to him
01:21:43.820
The question, the problem with it is it does not seem like the Congress wants to pass something
01:21:48.680
Because they are not, you know, look, and this is my biggest problem with people like
01:21:53.660
Portman in Ohio and, uh, give me the names of the other one.
01:21:56.680
The one in West Virginia, uh, Capito, um, Murkowski in Alaska is another one.
01:22:02.020
There's a great ad I saw on Facebook that, uh, one of the, uh, super PACs I think released,
01:22:07.340
which was all of these guys in 2015 on the floor of the Senate, just praising.
01:22:22.640
I just, I, I, America, I want you to really think of this.
01:22:25.820
I hate to add fuel to your already fire, but think of this.
01:22:30.840
If you're living in a state with one of these people, they came to you and they said, I hear
01:22:41.660
I see that it's given you a $5,000 deductible and a $1,500 a month insurance payment.
01:22:53.780
And that's why I need you to come out, not just to vote, but I need you to spend your
01:23:04.440
Spend your money to, to just in gas, spend your time, which is money.
01:23:13.780
Put your name behind me, get behind my campaign, vote for me.
01:23:20.340
They used your time, your money, your credibility because they said, we're going to repeal this
01:23:28.960
because we know the damage it's doing to your family.
01:23:35.260
They're saying, well, no, we can't, we can't repeal it.
01:23:42.200
The people like Murkowski and Portman, they never intended on repealing it.
01:24:03.700
You need to call your senator and tell them, get new leadership.
01:24:12.220
We are not going to fall for the same trap over and over and over and over again.
01:24:34.620
If they're afraid of that split, you better look out because now, this time, the Trump supporters
01:24:45.800
But the Trump, you're going to lose those guys, too.
01:24:50.760
Because those people voted with their pocketbook.
01:24:54.680
Those people voted because they had no one else left.
01:25:05.860
If you don't think that Donald Trump will be impeached, if his poll numbers go below 30,
01:25:32.120
You still got 85 to 88 percent approval of Republicans.
01:25:35.600
So they know if he turns against you, you know, or not you, but them, if he turns against
01:25:43.120
them, he has a good shot of them losing their election, them losing their support.
01:25:52.380
But I'm telling you now, the conversations in the hallway is all about the percentage.
01:25:57.380
Those guys are talking about what's the percentage of approval before we can move.
01:26:07.240
They're surely not thinking about the president.
01:26:10.780
Now, I'm coming to you as a guy who I don't necessarily support the president, but I do support
01:26:19.960
My loyalty is not to a congressman, to a senator, or to a president.
01:26:29.080
My loyalty is to the average American who is struggling.
01:26:34.560
So we need to have that loyalty to each other with our principles.
01:26:42.500
We bind together and we say, you like the president, you don't like the president.
01:26:57.580
Repealing, or I'm sorry, lowering taxes completely changes your life.
01:27:10.280
I think somebody bold right now, I think somebody bold could get away with it.
01:27:15.720
I think somebody really bold could get away with that right now.
01:27:19.960
I think Donald Trump, if he was smart, please, Mr. President, please.
01:27:24.820
If Donald Trump suddenly could find a way to just turn off all the televisions and not
01:27:33.120
listen to anything that anybody else is saying, and somebody could come into the office and
01:27:39.900
I need you to focus and turn off all the televisions.
01:27:42.800
Ironically, you're giving me this advice on television.
01:27:46.200
But turn off all of the televisions and stop listening to what they're saying about you.
01:27:51.860
You could be the most popular president ever, ever, right now, if you go for a massive structural
01:28:02.880
If you just do that, just that one thing will change the economy.
01:28:11.040
If you will repeal Obamacare and give a massive tax cut with a one to two year period of trying
01:28:22.620
And Mr. President, make it a one year, because in two years, Congress will drag this out so
01:28:29.340
long that then we'll be up against an election.
01:28:33.340
And God forbid, if somebody loses, then we will have socialized medicine.
01:28:38.300
So you need the tax cut and Obamacare repeal to be working by the time we get to 2018.
01:28:51.280
But you've got to make the case to the American people.
01:29:05.340
I don't think he's going to turn off the television.
01:29:10.340
And the only thing we can appeal to Congress is get new leadership.
01:29:22.040
I don't believe in calling those weasels anymore.
01:29:27.100
It's been such a colossal failure for Donald Trump and for the Republican Party.
01:29:45.880
But if you don't, if you don't pass real tax reform after a failure of health care
01:30:01.780
And in two years, you will have a Democratic Congress and Senate
01:30:07.820
once the Democrats control the House and the Senate.
01:30:12.620
Because they'll have three of the four branches.
01:30:20.400
I count the media now as a branch of government.
01:30:27.140
And then soon, they will also have the Supreme Court.
01:30:49.320
It's time to stop thinking that the media is just a shadow branch.
01:30:59.960
And we are coming into a one-party system as we are seeing now.
01:31:04.600
Mitch McConnell is part of the progressive party.
01:31:08.060
Well, I mean, O'Reilly was completely correct when he was talking about Susan Collins.
01:31:11.660
I mean, there's such little light between Susan Collins and Joe Manchin that she may as well just be a Democrat.
01:31:18.460
But, you know, we keep saying, well, that's the best we can do up there.
01:31:22.860
Well, then we should stop counting her as a Republican.
01:31:26.160
Yeah, I think it's better to just think of her as a potential vote.
01:31:31.120
I mean, look, Manchin should be voting for these health care reform bills.
01:31:35.520
And he was in a state that Donald Trump had 68% of the vote.
01:31:38.180
I mean, how he continues to be an automatic no with no pressure from the people of West Virginia, apparently,
01:31:47.940
It's summer, which means driving season is in full swing.
01:31:50.900
And the last thing your summer road trip needs is an unexpected car repair.
01:31:57.480
That's why I would like to recommend getting the extended coverage from CarShield.
01:32:10.200
So I've had it for, you know, what, five years now.
01:32:12.760
And I guess that point's certainly past the actual warranty.
01:32:17.600
You have a water pump that goes out, costs you $500.
01:32:22.760
New engine, you know, on a car like Jeffy's, can cost you up to tens of dollars.
01:32:28.600
Well, yeah, that particular car is up to tens of dollars.
01:32:33.560
Anyway, CarShield, the ultimate in extended vehicle service protection.
01:32:38.080
It's affordable protection that could save you thousands of dollars that will cover your repair.
01:32:43.960
You'll also get the VIP treatment from CarShield's administrators, 24-7 roadside assistance,
01:32:55.640

01:33:24.860
You know, I have to tell you, for the first time I have actual hope, for the first time in like two years that I actually have hope that things could get done.
01:33:38.780
I've never believed that Donald Trump believes in any of the things he said that he was going to do.
01:33:44.700
I mean, he is a, he's really a liberal Democrat, been his whole life.
01:33:50.420
You know, a guy who's been pushing for, you know, single-payer universal health care, etc., etc.
01:34:00.780
That has meant bad things to me because we knew that there would be people like Mitch McConnell who would take advantage of that and we'd get crappy stuff.
01:34:10.220
Well, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have failed.
01:34:15.880
If you're somebody who didn't necessarily support the president, but you want things to go through that are conservative, that will actually help people, you actually have a chance to do it right now.
01:34:39.560
If we unite, if you love the president and you want to help him, the way to help him is get tax bills on his desk.
01:34:51.640
If you want to help the average American and you don't like Donald Trump, do the same thing.
01:34:57.980
We're united in purpose right now and we can get these things done.
01:35:04.720
Call Congress and the Senate and tell them, replace your leadership.
01:35:09.240
We have, I can't believe it is time for another election in the state of Texas for Governor Greg Abbott looking ahead now at the 2018 election for Governor.
01:35:30.400
I can't imagine anyone, you know, I think Jesus might beat him, but I can't, David, David Bowie, Bowie would probably beat him as well.
01:35:43.060
David Bowie's dead, so he would, he would not beat him.
01:35:55.180
Greg Abbott probably will be the next governor of Texas.
01:36:03.040
Let me mention something about what you were just talking about, because you may not know this.
01:36:07.900
I bet a lot of your audience may not know this, but it's one of the challenges that we face in our reelection as governor.
01:36:17.820
George Soros got involved in the last election cycle when Hillary was on the ballot.
01:36:22.160
But in Harris County, Texas, which is where Houston, Texas, is located, George Soros gave $500,000, a half a million dollars, to the Democrat candidate running for district attorney.
01:36:37.020
Every Democrat in Harris County got elected on a countywide basis.
01:36:41.980
When George Soros makes an investment like that, he's going to come back and invest more.
01:36:47.140
So Texans need to buckle their chinstrap, understanding that George Soros is trying to turn Texas into his vision of New York, Illinois, and California.
01:36:58.520
If we lose Texas, we lose the United States of America.
01:37:05.780
I mean, this is, you know, we have so many people that are moving in.
01:37:10.540
And I gave a speech to all these big, you know, CEOs of all the biggest companies that are moving in.
01:37:20.620
And I said, how many people here moved here because of the taxes and because of, you know, the environmental, you know, regulations, the workplace regulations?
01:37:33.160
It was impossible to do business elsewhere, so you came to Texas.
01:37:38.220
I said, how many of you have told your employees that that's why you moved to Texas?
01:37:43.720
Because all your employees are coming here, and they're just going to vote for the same crap that they did in California.
01:37:57.340
So many Texans are concerned that with all of these companies that are moving their headquarters to Texas, that are bringing their jobs to the state of Texas,
01:38:05.080
they want to make sure Texas is not becoming like California or becoming like New York.
01:38:10.700
You know, Texas leads the nation in that in-migration from other states, with California being the number one import state, New York being the number two import state.
01:38:20.380
And it's important that the liberals in California and New York don't hijack the Texas way.
01:38:27.660
One thing that we do, we focus on communicating with them.
01:38:31.280
I will tell you that last time I ran, the first time I ran for governor, we saw this dynamic taking place,
01:38:37.120
and we wanted to make sure that the Californians who were coming to the state of Texas would not hijack this state.
01:38:44.500
You know, typically if you answer a poll, you get these demographic questions, what's your age range, your income range, et cetera.
01:38:50.420
We added a question, have you moved to Texas recently from another state?
01:38:55.380
A lot of people have moved from California, but we knew after they answered that question who they were going to be voting for in the governor's election.
01:39:03.700
Two-thirds of the people who were coming from California were voting for me.
01:39:07.400
So the good news is that most of the people who are coming are conservative.
01:39:13.460
Listen, if you're dependent upon government to run your life, the last place you'll leave is California,
01:39:19.560
and the last place you'll come to is the state of Texas.
01:39:23.020
And we're trying to educate people who are coming here.
01:39:25.560
Listen, if you're coming to Texas, kind of on government to run your life, you're coming to the wrong place.
01:39:31.920
If you're coming here to be dependent upon government, you're coming to the wrong place.
01:39:36.560
Texas is a place for individual liberty, for individual independence.
01:39:40.980
That's the way we run things here, and that's the way we expect to keep things here in Texas.
01:39:44.840
So one of the best things we have here in Texas is a legislature that goes away for every year.
01:39:50.120
You know, just it comes in session for a few months, and then it's gone for a year.
01:39:58.940
It's exactly what our founders had in mind with a legislative body.
01:40:03.460
But you've just called a special session, and one of the things is property tax reform.
01:40:18.740
It's one of the reasons why so many companies are locating here.
01:40:21.660
One concern, however, about Texas is the skyrocketing property taxes that simply must be addressed.
01:40:29.120
There are people in Dallas, Fort Worth, in Houston, in our cities, large and small across the state of Texas,
01:40:35.440
who are being taxed out of their homes because of property taxes, especially our seniors.
01:40:40.740
And so this is my top priority, is to find ways that we can reduce property taxes.
01:40:47.080
There is a proposal on this special session call that lasts 30 days that will attempt to hamstring the growth in property taxes.
01:40:57.380
It's called a rate rollback, and that is that if a city or county tries to raise your property taxes by more than 4%,
01:41:03.980
the voter will get to decide whether or not they want to accept or to reject that property tax.
01:41:11.220
But all that does is contain the growth of property taxes.
01:41:15.440
I'm talking about trying to find ways that we actually cut property taxes.
01:41:19.280
And so part of what we're focusing on here in the next 30 days is to find ways to do that.
01:41:24.720
But that's my primary goal between now and the next session.
01:41:28.060
You know, you mentioned these sessions that we have.
01:41:29.760
So 140 days every two years, and I'm sure, Glenn, you've heard before the mantra in the state of Texas,
01:41:35.800
we want to change that so that we meet for only two days every 140 years.
01:41:40.720
That would be true limited government right there.
01:41:44.740
So what do you think, besides taxes, can the state of Texas do to help people?
01:41:53.700
And we don't have many of the problems that we, you know, that you see up north in Ohio and all these other states.
01:42:04.000
With the collapse of health care reform and a repeal of Obamacare,
01:42:08.980
what is on the horizon that you've seen anybody working on that can bypass this
01:42:15.620
and help people with, you know, a $5,000 deductible and $1,500 a month of insurance premium?
01:42:24.360
Fixing health care is essential, and it sounds like you may be a tiny bit ahead of the game here
01:42:28.940
because you said with the repeal of Obamacare, listen, we've got to get a vote.
01:42:33.700
Yeah, no, I mean the failure of a repeal of Obamacare.
01:42:43.760
There is no viability for the future of Obamacare.
01:42:46.580
So what we need to do is we need to repeal it, and we need to replace it.
01:42:53.340
It's the same principles that Republicans have been talking about for the past six years,
01:42:57.600
and that is to return health care to where it belongs, and that is with the consumer,
01:43:02.620
with the patient, to restore the doctor-patient relationship.
01:43:05.820
Let the consumer have choices in this, choices who their insurer is going to be,
01:43:10.860
choices as to what doctor they can go to, choices into the way that they purchase health care insurance.
01:43:16.980
That open market, the free market system is the best system possible,
01:43:20.960
and it must be instilled into the health care system.
01:43:23.840
Point one, point two, is that we have to have greater transparency.
01:43:27.220
Listen, when so many people go into a doctor or to an emergency room or whatever the case may be,
01:43:34.560
They don't have a clue how much it's going to cost, whether or not they want to pay this or that or reject this or that option.
01:43:40.620
People need to have choices, informed choices, when they go through the health care system process.
01:43:45.980
And we must rein in the skyrocketing prices of our drugs, our pharmaceuticals here across the United States.
01:43:55.320
So there's so many things that can and must be done if we're going to fix this.
01:44:00.420
And the solutions, to be honest, are fairly easy.
01:44:04.020
It's just a matter of developing the will up in Washington, D.C. to make sure this gets done.
01:44:09.240
Because if not, I tell you what, the members of the current House and Senate are going to own this, whether it succeeds or fails.
01:44:17.440
I've said this for the last almost 20 years about our borders, that if we take our border laws seriously, the people of Mexico will as well.
01:44:27.100
If they know that you're not welcome here if you're crossing the border, you lose a lot of people that are coming over.
01:44:33.980
Only the most nefarious or the most in need are going to cross the border.
01:44:40.480
We've seen now we're at a six-year low by doing nothing other than Donald Trump saying, I'm going to enforce these laws.
01:44:50.820
Are we going to get a big, beautiful solar panel wall?
01:44:55.940
Or have you heard from Washington what is coming?
01:44:59.840
Yes, I've spoken on multiple occasions with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
01:45:07.100
In fact, I took him on a helicopter ride of the Rio Grande Valley to show him what the border looked like in that region of the state of Texas.
01:45:14.180
And since then, I've spoken with him and his staff on multiple occasions to learn what they're doing.
01:45:20.520
And, you know, let's first talk about the first point that you made, and that is the decline in the number of people who are coming across the border.
01:45:27.960
There are two reasons why you engage in both prosecutions as well as law enforcement.
01:45:34.620
And that is, one, is to make arrests and take dangerous people off the streets.
01:45:39.420
But, two, you want to have a deterrent effect so that through your law enforcement efforts, you are going to deter crime.
01:45:47.320
Under Barack Obama, he had the Olay version of law enforcement.
01:45:51.720
And that is, if you would imagine, in a bullfight where the matador just says Olay and lets the bull run right on through, Barack Obama refused to enforce the laws concerning immigration.
01:46:04.340
And, hence, it brought in people coming in literally from across the entire world.
01:46:09.180
And because the Trump administration has made clear that they are going to enforce the rule of law, that has led to that dramatic reduction in the number of people coming across the border.
01:46:23.060
You're leading the way in stopping DACA, the, you know, the DREAM Act for people who came here illegally.
01:46:31.020
If it's not phased out by September 5th, what happens?
01:46:35.760
Well, I led the way with regard to Barack Obama's last executive order that he issued in his last year.
01:46:46.500
And, ironically, after he became, or after I was elected governor, I sued and stopped his last order where he unilaterally rewrote the immigration laws.
01:46:59.980
And that is, we have a president who did not go through Congress but instead tried to change immigration laws through executive order.
01:47:07.480
We have tough issues and decisions that must be made about this, but they cannot be made by executive order.
01:47:12.680
It has to be done by the United States Congress, who has the sole authority to write our immigration laws.
01:47:20.700
I'm not familiar with that tripwire on September 5th.
01:47:26.120
What we all know, and that is that Congress has the ongoing responsibility to write and or alter our immigration laws.
01:47:34.120
It is their responsibility to take care of that.
01:47:36.740
Travis County just released a Mexican gang member.
01:47:44.520
That's exactly why we passed this ban on sanctuary cities.
01:47:47.140
That law goes into effect on September the 1st.
01:47:50.520
If the sheriff were to do something like that on September 1st or after that time, that sheriff herself would be subject to criminal penalties from removal from office.
01:48:00.220
And Travis County would be subject to paying stiff penalties.
01:48:02.920
We are not going to allow our sheriffs to release dangerous criminals back out onto our streets.
01:48:09.380
Governor Abbott, I say this with all sincerity.
01:48:13.200
You're the best governor I have ever had the privilege to vote for and and live in the state while while you were working.
01:48:25.680
And you're in, you know, pretty much invisible.
01:48:28.420
And it's great to have a governor who's effective and is not in your face and, you know, controlling your life all the time.
01:48:48.380
Simply safe is going to do what the name promises.
01:48:56.020
You know, when you go to other places, they'll you know, they'll upsell you.
01:49:01.720
They'll say you could have, you know, this security for only forty nine dollars a month.
01:49:06.860
Well, then you get them there and then they're like, oh, well, we didn't know that applies.
01:49:31.520
I don't I don't I don't even I don't even want to say it's under a thousand bucks.
01:49:38.060
Can you somebody go to simply safe and look it up?
01:49:39.540
You get a hundred dollars off if you use my name when you go there, you own it.
01:49:45.560
You own it instead of paying for air for, you know, the next five years with your contract.
01:49:57.140
There's nobody coming over to your house to drill holes in the walls to run wires.
01:50:08.680
You plug it in and it tells you step by step exactly what to do within an hour.
01:50:14.980
But within an hour, you can have your whole house protected by simply safe.
01:50:30.780
Yeah, it's a hundred bucks off three ninety nine eighty five.
01:50:42.480
The great system that you need at a price you can afford that will keep your family simply safe.
01:51:14.040
I mean, how long has that trailer been running?
01:51:18.720
I mean, I think it started as Dunkirk was happening.
01:51:28.540
Um, but, uh, I, I, it started to get scary because I haven't seen, I've only seen one trailer.
01:51:43.520
And of course, next weekend, uh, I'm just saying Atomic Blonde.
01:51:55.620
And, uh, somehow it just will not stop playing on our computers here.
