The Glenn Beck Program - Bad Decision, Either Way We Go？｜ Guests： Bill O'Reilly & John Ziegler ｜ 2⧸15⧸19

00:00:00.000 Relief Factor is our sponsor this half hour. I am here today.

00:00:04.840 Quite a lot of that due to Relief Factor. Relief Factor is something that I was at the end of my

00:00:11.940 rope. I couldn't, I just couldn't do it anymore and couldn't take the pain and just wanted to go

00:00:18.020 away. And much to Media Matters chagrin, Relief Factor stepped in my life.

00:00:25.000 So you blame Relief Factor.

00:00:26.180 You blame Relief Factor, not me. And Relief Factor has really reduced my pain. It could work for you.

00:00:33.240 It works for 70% of the people who take it. Could work for you. Try it for three weeks. If it works,

00:00:38.040 you get your life back. Trust me, I did. ReliefFactor.com, 800-583-84. ReliefFactor.com.

00:00:56.180 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:16.520 We are in a place to where the Democrats hope we tear each other apart. They are hoping that this

00:01:26.820 border security, this spending bill and the emergency declaration is going to pull the right

00:01:37.020 apart. And it very well could if we don't go into it right now saying, look, we all have to be

00:01:43.440 reasonable and we're all going to disagree on things. But we have to prioritize and see what

00:01:49.680 is really important. Look to history and move slowly. The Democrats do not want to move slowly.

00:01:57.860 They, you know, they always promise transparency and we're going to wait 72 hours, but they didn't

00:02:03.860 wait 72 hours on this. They passed a bill that almost no one has read. We have and are continuing

00:02:11.320 to read and we're going to explain it to you and why it must be stopped now. In one minute.

00:02:21.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program. Also, also Bill O'Reilly is going to join us today. We, we have an

00:02:30.960 update, an amazing update on that story out of Chicago in our number three with John Ziegler. So

00:02:37.160 stand by. First, I want to tell you a little bit about Field of Greens. Yeah, I was looking at the

00:02:41.320 list of the healthiest and unhealthiest cities in America. Yeah. Texas. The bottom two are both

00:02:47.620 Texas, Laredo and Brownsville, Texas. Yeah. Then you got Gulfport, Mississippi, Shreveport,

00:02:52.980 Louisiana, Huntington, West Virginia, Hortsmouth, Augusta, Georgia, Memphis, Detroit. You know,

00:03:01.100 there's, look, some of this is always, it's always ridiculous, these lists. And what they don't price

00:03:06.300 into this is Field of Greens, right? Like they don't, like I want to be able to go and eat at all

00:03:10.520 the, you know, the Southern cooking, everything fried. I want to go to that place. And then you get

00:03:16.600 Field of Greens. I think if you get Field of Greens, you just move right to the top of the

00:03:20.500 list. That's how I'm looking at this. I don't know if that is exactly true, but it does everything

00:03:25.360 your mother used to say to you. Eat your greens, eat your vegetables, eat your salad. Oh, I hated

00:03:30.240 that. Now, you know what, mom? I'll take a spoonful of Field of Greens, please. It's real USDA organic

00:03:36.740 fruits and vegetables complete with all of the antioxidants. It boosts immunity, has antioxidant

00:03:42.240 power. It's prebiotic, probiotic. This is real food. All the biotics are covered? All the

00:03:48.700 biotics. Is it bionic? No. It will not grow a bionic on it. No, but if it has carrots in

00:03:53.720 it, it should improve your eyesight. There you go. So BrickHouseGlenn.com, BrickHouseGlenn.com.

00:04:16.760 This is... Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

00:04:22.720 Okay. I wrote to a senator. I wrote to a Silicon Valley guy. And I wrote to a military intelligence

00:04:37.840 person. And I said, the spending bill and the national emergency pots. All three of them

00:04:48.820 came back with a different answer. All three of them. But the one thing they had in common

00:04:56.160 was, this is horrible. Now, some of them said, do it. Some of them said, don't. Some of them

00:05:03.420 were really strong. Do it. Some are very strong. Don't. But they all agreed. This is a turning

00:05:13.360 point. This is a crossroads for America. And this is a bad decision either way we go.

00:05:24.260 So let's first... This is the opposite of a win-win. We are in a lose-lose.

00:05:28.760 Yeah. We're in a lose-lose. This is something that we cannot... We need to debate. But we cannot

00:05:37.800 point fingers at each other and call each other enemies if we disagree. Because the left will win

00:05:44.740 on that. Again, you just described a lose-lose. Yes.

00:05:49.180 For conservatives. So I don't know how the left isn't winning already. Because if they divide us

00:05:53.800 even more, we won't be able to stand the onslaught that I think is coming. We have to... You know,

00:06:00.080 this... I have tried to reach out, not across the aisle, but across the divide in the conservative

00:06:08.740 movement. And I have tried to apologize for past behavior, whatever, and just say, look,

00:06:17.140 I'm going to be a guy who will point out the things that I believe are right and the things

00:06:21.800 that I believe are wrong. And I will support when I can. I will stand up against when I

00:06:28.200 must. But I am not going to judge you or anyone else. We must stay together. We can disagree,

00:06:36.980 but we cannot become enemies. I don't know how many people really feel that way today because

00:06:44.400 we are so polarized. But we have to reduce that polarization or we don't make the coming

00:06:49.480 onslaught. Before we get into this, I want you to know that everything in me, everything

00:06:57.160 in me says this is the next phase. I want to say final phase, but I don't feel comfortable

00:07:07.880 enough saying that. This is the fundamental transformation. This is the change that came

00:07:14.300 with all of this hope. And I want you to know that we, I believe, are standing at the abyss.

00:07:22.540 We are standing at that cliff that we dare not go over. If we go over, we are lost.

00:07:29.620 Um, and it's going to be very hard not to go over that cliff. But if you look at the things that we

00:07:37.080 are dealing with now, we are dealing with the, I believe, and I, and I, I told you, if you're a

00:07:44.860 long-time listener of this program, that I am trying to not use the word evil. You know, too many times

00:07:52.740 we will say, oh, that's just evil. Those people are evil. Well, no, they're not. They disagree.

00:07:57.980 They have a different approach. They think they're doing the right thing. Most times some are evil

00:08:06.060 and they know that what they're doing is totally destructive and they have purposes that do not,

00:08:13.880 and they know they do not free people. They enslave people. And I've tried to swear that word

00:08:22.660 off. But I will tell you what we are in right now is a battle between good and evil. And there is evil

00:08:33.080 on all sides. Evil begins with a spirit of contention. Nothing good happens when everybody

00:08:42.320 is at each other's throats. And it fogs our view of the real evil. But what we are fighting,

00:08:49.360 let me give you just two examples, with abortion, we are not talking about babies in the first

00:08:57.040 trimester where I think God will look at us to judge us and go, okay, I don't know how you missed that

00:09:04.880 one, but you honestly were looking at it and really had compassion or whatever it was. And if there is

00:09:15.060 justice after life, it will be worked out. I don't know how it's going to work out. But people who have

00:09:21.560 that honest debate of, I don't know if it's life, you know, as soon as the, you know, the egg is

00:09:28.140 fertilized. We're not talking about that now. We're talking about letting children die that we don't

00:09:35.220 think are viable. We're talking about killing a child after mom is dilated and she is giving birth 0.98

00:09:43.600 because mom doesn't want to raise it. It is that every expert will tell you in health, there is

00:09:49.440 no, there is no way keeping that child inside that mother dead for three days. And then having her 1.00

00:09:55.980 go through the three days that it takes to birth that baby is good for her physical health. No way.

00:10:03.920 We're talking about the killing of children. Now that's evil. We are also now in this bill,

00:10:13.440 there is a provision that in fact, I would like to read it exactly. So you, uh, you hear the actual,

00:10:24.840 um, language in it. None of the funds provided by this act or any other act, this is section

00:10:33.540 224 a or provided from any accounts in the treasury of the United States derived by the collection of

00:10:42.000 fees available to the components funded by this act. So in other words, no money that comes from

00:10:48.120 the treasury or any money that is collected through any kind of tax can be used by the secretary of

00:10:56.280 homeland security to place in detention, remove, refer for a decision, whether to initiate removal

00:11:05.400 proceedings or initiate removal proceedings against a sponsor, a potential sponsor, or member of a

00:11:14.300 household of a sponsor or potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien child as defined in section

00:11:21.840 462 G of the Homeland security act of 2002. So what does this mean? This means if you have a child

00:11:30.260 with you, you have amnesty, no one is going to stop you. They cannot stop you. And this is a permanent

00:11:39.060 act. Now, let me ask you if I'm a drug dealer, I'm a dealer in anything nefarious. There is a call for

00:11:49.680 young children on the sex slave trade. We already know that that the border is a horrible place

00:11:59.600 for the sex slave trade, both directions. This now allows somebody just to kid and forget about sex 0.61

00:12:09.620 slave, just kidnap a kid. You pay me enough, I'm going to kidnap a kid. And you walk across the border 0.96

00:12:18.160 with a kid. Or forget kidnapping the kid. Paying the kid to go across the border and then come back to Mexico 0.62

00:12:25.820 and go across the border with somebody else. That's what this bill does. We are enslaving children.

00:12:34.840 We are looking the other way. This is an open invitation to corruption with children.

00:12:43.340 And anyone who said, anyone who says they are a progressive, what was one of the first things the

00:12:52.620 progressives did? The reason why the progressive movement originally took root is because it was

00:13:01.400 for women and children and stopping the, what was called at the time work, but it was really slavery

00:13:10.880 slavery of children. Children and women were almost damn near enslaved by workhouses. And so what did

00:13:22.520 they do? They passed all kinds of laws to protect children. This law does the exact opposite that any

00:13:31.380 fair-minded progressive would want. We are on the cliff of insanity. The same day this is happening.

00:13:45.540 Capitalism is on the run. Amazon is being told, we don't want you in New York. But it's not New

00:13:56.440 Yorkers. It's not the governor. It's not even Bill de Blasio. Polling overwhelmingly shows New

00:14:01.860 Yorkers want the Amazon facility. Correct. 25,000 jobs. But socialists have raised such a stink

00:14:11.660 that Amazon has no place to go. And Amazon says we cannot be bogged down by a bunch of protesters all

00:14:20.140 of the time. So they're looking at Chicago, but they're afraid the same thing will happen there.

00:14:25.680 They're looking in New Jersey. They say the same thing will happen there. The third one is Dallas,

00:14:30.960 Texas, which I would have said, come, you're going to find a very, very happy group of people that

00:14:40.240 will take those 25,000 jobs. And that is true for the most part today. But it is not true in Texas

00:14:50.500 tomorrow. The righteous in Germany and Poland didn't suddenly become righteous. They just refused 0.99

00:15:01.140 to go over the cliff with everyone else. They were not warriors in the street. They remembered what

00:15:12.260 they learned was truth from their childhood. And they refused to bow to any new truth.

00:15:21.460 And they soldiered on. It is critical that we keep our cool and we keep holding to the truth.

00:15:30.280 I'll tell you what's in this bill beginning in one minute. Stand by.

00:15:37.880 All right, let me tell you about Simply Safe.

00:15:41.880 What percentage of homes within the U.S. have a home security system installed?

00:15:49.440 If it's, I'm going to play Pat, if it's over 1%, I'm not impressed.

00:15:53.600 I hate the Pat. Why would you want to play Pat? That's the worst feature of him as a human.

00:15:57.960 I know, that's the worst feature he does. I don't know, I would say 20%?

00:16:00.680 Yeah, 17%, which to me is insanely low. What year is it?

00:16:06.660 But there is still towns all across America where you don't even have to lock your doors.

00:16:11.420 Is that true? In 2019, I can't imagine.

00:16:15.280 I live in one in the summer. Yes.

00:16:18.100 Well, you live in the middle of nowhere in the summer.

00:16:19.960 Right, and that's most of America in the middle of nowhere.

00:16:23.560 I don't think most, I'm pretty sure, statistically, it's impossible for most of America to be living in the middle of nowhere.

00:16:29.620 There's not enough nowhere.

00:16:30.280 You hear facts and figures. Don't cloud the facts with facts.

00:16:35.080 That number should be considerably higher.

00:16:38.560 Yes, it should. Well, the reason why people don't do it is because it's expensive.

00:16:43.100 Yeah.

00:16:43.500 You're locked into something for five years. You may be renting.

00:16:46.320 You don't know, you know, I'm going to be locked into a contract for five years.

00:16:51.560 If I have a system and that system is all beat up and everything else, I'm going to have to go and hire somebody else to come in and rewire the whole house and put their system in.

00:17:02.020 It's the nightmare.

00:17:03.280 Not with Simply Safe.

00:17:04.320 Right now, you can protect your home, get 10% off the system, which you own.

00:17:09.060 You can use it in your apartment.

00:17:11.220 You can use it in your next home, whatever.

00:17:13.640 And it is state-of-the-art technology.

00:17:16.640 Visit simplysafebeck.com.

00:17:18.580 You'll also get free shipping on any system.

00:17:21.420 And there's no contract and $14.99 a month for the monitoring.

00:17:25.860 Believe me, as the world melts down, you're going to want a head start within a security system.

00:17:32.020 And the one I recommend is Simply Safe.

00:17:35.780 simplysafebeck.com.

00:17:37.060 That's simplysafebeck.com.

00:17:39.480 10-second station ID.

00:17:40.620 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:17:57.460 We're just, can I just say to you, can I say on the air, should I say on the air what I just said to you?

00:18:01.760 If you feel led to, yeah.

00:18:03.000 I will tell you that I am overwhelmed right now, overwhelmed by the feeling I must tell you.

00:18:15.140 This is the beginning.

00:18:18.140 Prepare yourself.

00:18:20.720 This is the beginning.

00:18:22.640 Things are going to change.

00:18:24.640 I don't know.

00:18:26.580 I will tell you that I, when I, when I, oh, this is going to be so ridiculed.

00:18:35.700 Why stop now, though?

00:18:36.780 Why stop now?

00:18:37.540 I mean, you've got 20 years of this.

00:18:38.540 Why stop now?

00:18:38.640 Why stop now?

00:18:39.020 If we have five people listening, then those five people, you know, the blood is on your hands, not mine.

00:18:44.740 I have terrible news.

00:18:45.180 There's a lot more than five people listening.

00:18:46.760 I know.

00:18:47.100 So, okay, so, you know, when I, when I talk about things like the caliphate and things like that, I know what I have come up with in myself by doing my research.

00:18:58.400 And I know when it's not me.

00:19:00.500 It's more information than even I have.

00:19:04.380 And quite honestly, I have, I have had very little of that up until the summer.

00:19:11.080 Uh, and I, I understand it now, um, because it, it, everything that I had already said, it took like five years to catch up.

00:19:21.300 That's now done.

00:19:22.820 And since this summer, things have just gone and just are falling into place again.

00:19:28.720 And I'm seeing it.

00:19:29.720 And I'm, uh, I am telling you, I see things as a flat wall.

00:19:35.080 I don't see how much time it's going to take.

00:19:37.420 I see it as a flat wall.

00:19:38.740 I see what's coming and it's in me.

00:19:41.280 It is like right now, but I have learned through time that I was all the way.

00:19:50.460 Here's a full money.

00:19:51.660 God doesn't have time.

00:19:53.580 Like we have time.

00:19:54.780 He sees everything as now.

00:19:56.320 And so if he is showing me anything, he's showing it to me now.

00:20:00.440 And it's for me and you to understand this is not now.

00:20:05.120 This is all coming, but I am overwhelmed.

00:20:07.480 And have been, has been building in me for a while.

00:20:10.820 And if you're a long time listener, you've heard me when I say to you, you know, things like, please.

00:20:20.540 Yeah.

00:20:21.180 I'm sorry.

00:20:21.780 We're just, I, can I just say to you, can I say on the air, should I say on the air what I just said to you?

00:20:26.140 If you feel led to, yeah.

00:20:27.380 I will tell you that I am, I am overwhelmed right now, overwhelmed by the feeling I must tell you.

00:20:39.540 This is the beginning.

00:20:42.480 Prepare yourself.

00:20:45.080 This is the beginning.

00:20:47.020 Things are going to change.

00:20:49.000 I don't know.

00:20:50.840 I will tell you that I, when I, when I, oh, this is going to be so ridiculed.

00:21:00.020 Why stop now, though?

00:21:01.160 Why stop now?

00:21:01.560 I mean, you've got 20 years of this.

00:21:02.900 Why stop now?

00:21:03.000 If we have five people listening, then those five people, you know, the blood is on your hands.

00:21:09.220 I have terrible news.

00:21:09.580 There's a lot more than five people listening.

00:21:11.140 I know.

00:21:11.460 Okay, so, you know, when I, when I talk about things like the caliphate and things like that, I know what I have come up with in myself by doing my research.

00:21:22.760 And I know when it's not me.

00:21:24.860 It's more information than even I have.

00:21:28.740 And quite honestly, I have, I have had very little of that up until the summer.

00:21:35.440 Uh, and I, I understand it now, um, because it, it, everything that I had already said, it took like five years to catch up.

00:21:45.720 That's now done.

00:21:47.220 And since this summer, things have just gone and just are falling into place again.

00:21:53.060 And I'm seeing it.

00:21:54.140 And I'm, uh, I am telling you, I see things as a flat wall.

00:21:59.520 I don't see how much time it's going to take.

00:22:01.780 I see it as a flat wall.

00:22:03.100 I see what's coming and it's in me.

00:22:05.640 It is like right now, but I have learned through time that I'm going to go all the way.

00:22:14.800 Here's a full money.

00:22:16.040 God doesn't have time.

00:22:17.940 Like we have time.

00:22:19.140 He sees everything as now.

00:22:20.680 And so if he is showing me anything, he's showing it to me now.

00:22:24.820 And it's for me and you to understand this is not now.

00:22:29.480 This is all coming, but I am overwhelmed.

00:22:31.840 And have been, has been building in me for a while.

00:22:35.060 And if you're a long time listener, you've heard me when I say to you, you know, things like, please grab your family.

00:22:41.920 Please make sure that all the things that we've ever talked about are done.

00:22:46.540 Please do it.

00:22:48.560 Please do it.

00:22:49.880 I am overwhelmed with the feeling we are now officially at the cliff and there will be no, there will be no bystanders.

00:23:00.400 You have to engage peacefully, peacefully, calmly, lovingly with everyone.

00:23:09.220 Please.

00:23:12.580 Okay.

00:23:13.460 I've said it.

00:23:14.520 Now the blood of everybody else, it's on you, not on me.

00:23:18.160 I've said it.

00:23:19.120 Let me ask a question.

00:23:25.840 So the border wall, what we're seeing here now is that we are going to theoretically get some of the border wall through a national emergency.

00:23:37.580 Forget all the legal problems and the questions about that, whether it can go through or not.

00:23:41.180 There's people on both sides of that or whether it's a good idea or what the ramifications would be later on.

00:23:46.120 Forget all that for a second.

00:23:47.200 If I were to say to you, Glenn, you are going to get what appears to be approximately maybe 20% of the border wall through a national emergency, which is about what we're, if he's going to get to the full $5.7 billion, we don't know yet how that's going to go.

00:24:05.500 But you're going to get that 20% of the border wall that Trump is trying to get.

00:24:09.740 And in exchange for it, this is what will happen.

00:24:12.960 Would you make just that trait?

00:24:40.820 No, no way would I make that trait.

00:24:44.380 And that's just one part of that spending bill.

00:24:46.180 It's the answer on this bill is a continuing resolution.

00:24:50.140 That is horrible.

00:24:52.280 Please, Mr. President, reject this bill.

00:24:55.980 Don't declare an emergency.

00:24:57.940 Continuing resolution, please.

00:27:10.500 SimpliSafe.com slash Glenn.

00:27:13.060 The more we read this bill, the worse it gets.

00:27:19.120 And we are going to go through it thoroughly.

00:27:22.900 They've already voted and passed it.

00:27:25.020 They've already passed it.

00:27:26.140 Most people couldn't even, didn't even take the time to read it.

00:27:29.340 The Democrats didn't give anybody any time to read it.

00:27:32.600 The Senate could have slowed it down, but it didn't.

00:27:35.180 But my solution is a, please, Mr. President, veto this.

00:27:40.560 Please veto this.

00:27:42.300 And Mitch McConnell, go for a continuing resolution.

00:27:45.560 Please.

00:27:46.340 We should point out that the president is expected to speak in about half an hour if he happened to be listening to live to the program.

00:27:51.800 And we do intend on taking the speech.

00:27:54.880 It should be about this.

00:27:55.940 It's expected that he will announce.

00:27:57.860 Declare the national emergency.

00:27:58.840 Yeah, and talk about the bill being signed.

00:28:02.040 So, Pat, I want to ask you this.

00:28:04.560 Pat Gray unleashed.

00:28:05.500 Pat Gray is here.

00:28:07.240 So, just a trade here.

00:28:08.940 And take out, for example, the potential ramifications of the national emergency as far as precedent goes.

00:28:17.400 What a Democrat might do with something like this. 0.64

00:28:19.360 Take out the potential legal issues that are kind of floating around.

00:28:23.160 It's never really been used for this type of thing.

00:28:24.880 We don't know how that's going to turn out.

00:28:25.840 Take all that out for a second.

00:28:26.800 If I just offered you this trade, right now in the spending bill that's going on right now, he's getting about 2% of the border wall.

00:28:36.380 And if he does the national emergency, it's expected he'll get about 8% more of the border wall.

00:28:43.000 So, it's a small percentage of the border wall, but it could put it in important places.

00:28:47.380 And I think we all agree that that would be beneficial, but not ideal.

00:28:50.600 But if I were just to trade you 8% of the border wall, but in exchange for no longer in the future, will any tax dollars be allowed to be used to arrest or deport any illegal alien child, any caretaker of a child, 0.92

00:29:12.040 anyone who lives in the house of a caretaker of a child that happens to be illegal or someone who could potentially be a caretaker of a child that happens to be an illegal alien or someone who happens to be living in a house with someone who could potentially be a caretaker of an illegal alien child.

00:29:29.780 What about somebody who's heard about an illegal alien child?

00:29:32.640 Almost there.

00:29:34.180 How can you possibly enforce border immigration law?

00:29:38.200 I wouldn't take that deal, no.

00:29:38.880 I wouldn't take that deal either.

00:29:40.460 Nope.

00:29:40.920 That is just...

00:29:41.460 Not for 10% of the wall.

00:29:43.080 No.

00:29:43.600 And that is just one tiny piece of a 1,400, 1,200-page spending proposal.

00:29:48.980 And nobody, like Glenn said, nobody's read it.

00:29:51.440 But I get a kick out of these people who say,

00:29:54.320 Read the bill.

00:29:56.380 And they don't.

00:29:57.360 They never do.

00:29:57.780 Do you remember when, a few years ago, Rand Paul proposed legislation that before you voted on a bill, you must read it?

00:30:08.480 Is that not reasonable?

00:30:11.600 And not only did he not get support from Democrats on that, he got very little backing from Republicans on it.

00:30:16.680 Yeah, nobody wanted to do that.

00:30:18.380 I'm not going to read that bill.

00:30:20.000 No.

00:30:20.880 That'd take two days and a team of lawyers.

00:30:23.200 I'm not going to read the bill.

00:30:25.040 Yes, even Republicans thought that.

00:30:26.900 They continually do this without reading anything.

00:30:30.100 And there's a ton of bad stuff in the bill.

00:30:32.680 Yeah.

00:30:32.940 Well, first of all, the wall is only allowed to be built in the Rio Grande Valley.

00:30:38.280 That's the only place.

00:30:40.540 Now, there's also something else in this bill, that it must have local government support.

00:30:48.200 Well, if you look at the Rio Grande Valley, they are not...

00:30:53.780 They don't support this.

00:30:54.900 They voted six to one for Hillary Clinton.

00:30:57.800 Okay?

00:30:58.620 There isn't a border town, in Texas at least, that didn't vote for Hillary Clinton.

00:31:05.000 So they've now put in the bill, and it appears to be permanent, that if you want to build a wall, this one only authorizes it in the Rio Grande Valley, and the Rio Grande Valley must be...

00:31:19.920 They must vote to do it.

00:31:21.940 And if they don't vote to do it, then it doesn't happen.

00:31:24.480 And if you want to build a wall at any other time, the local government has the right.

00:31:31.600 So, in other words, they're all of a sudden really 10th Amendment, except not even at state level.

00:31:38.280 All of a sudden, they're like, nope, local people have all the charge on this.

00:31:41.300 So, could they essentially block the wall being built out of the emergency declaration anyway?

00:31:49.860 I think they could.

00:31:50.760 Or is it just the wall that they're talking about, the 55 miles that they proposed in this particular spending bill?

00:31:58.080 You mean that they can only block that one?

00:32:00.820 Right.

00:32:01.040 No, I think it's, if it's any way, I don't know for sure, but if it's any way, I think it's, you can't block it in the Rio Grande Valley, but you can block it any other place in the future.

00:32:14.520 That's the way I read it.

00:32:16.700 Actually, I read it the worst case scenario.

00:32:19.400 That's a stunner.

00:32:20.280 Are you surprised by that, Pat?

00:32:21.260 I read it as the locals can stop it anywhere you want.

00:32:25.740 But go ahead, try in the Rio Grande Valley.

00:32:27.580 That's how I read it.

00:32:28.520 But it is, it's being said by, you know, people who read these bills and are attorneys, they're saying it's intentionally ambiguous.

00:32:39.340 So, you don't know if it's just this bill or if it's forever.

00:32:43.660 You don't know.

00:32:44.280 Well, this is what they do every time.

00:32:45.360 Right.

00:32:45.800 With these bills.

00:32:46.520 Every time.

00:32:47.380 And, you know, one of the people is like, so he needs to have a signing statement saying that, no, signing statements don't mean anything.

00:32:55.280 Signing statements don't mean anything.

00:32:56.840 He needs to veto this bill.

00:33:00.100 I mean, isn't it?

00:33:01.220 Please, Mr. President.

00:33:03.060 Again, same question to both of you guys.

00:33:04.820 Isn't a new government shutdown much better than this outcome?

00:33:09.620 Oh, yes.

00:33:10.140 Yeah, except nobody in government.

00:33:11.580 Nobody in Washington will think so.

00:33:12.920 But don't go there.

00:33:13.540 You don't need to.

00:33:14.500 Continuing resolution.

00:33:15.880 Just keep everything the same.

00:33:17.840 Mm-hmm.

00:33:18.500 Continuing resolution.

00:33:19.520 We don't need anything but a continuing resolution.

00:33:23.340 That's what has to happen.

00:33:25.280 This bill is horrible.

00:33:28.400 Absolutely horrible.

00:33:30.820 We are giving, what is it, 10 times as much?

00:33:35.780 We are giving $3.1 billion in foreign health services, which is more than twice the wall in this bill.

00:33:45.700 Oh, my gosh.

00:33:46.460 Did you see what Obama's border chief said about this yesterday?

00:33:50.200 No.

00:33:50.880 He said Trump needs to veto this.

00:33:53.200 Obama's border chief.

00:33:56.280 Wow.

00:33:57.760 That you can't, he said, you cannot sign this bill.

00:34:03.020 It's that bad.

00:34:04.240 This bill is written.

00:34:04.840 It's that bad.

00:34:05.400 This bill is written as if Democrats believe they have Trump over a barrel.

00:34:09.640 They do.

00:34:10.220 And they are saying, we will do.

00:34:11.840 Well, they think they won the shutdown thing, which I think they probably did.

00:34:15.920 And so they think they've got all the leverage now.

00:34:19.460 Yeah.

00:34:19.680 And this is written as if they, not only did they win, but they are, you know, it's 47 to 3 in the fourth quarter.

00:34:27.080 You have to call the, you have to call the White House.

00:34:30.460 You must blow out the phones of the White House and say, Mr. President, please veto and go for a continuing resolution.

00:34:39.280 Please veto this bill.

00:34:41.580 I mean, there's, the bill expands, does expand catch and release.

00:34:48.620 It has to.

00:34:49.780 It has to.

00:34:50.740 It has reduced the number of border beds by 10,000.

00:34:55.120 God, Jesus.

00:34:56.300 Because you could, I mean, look, a lot of people will say, well, we want the wall and we're going to do the national emergency, which, you know, I'm not a fan of.

00:35:04.240 But even if you like the national emergency, he can do that with or without this bill.

00:35:08.560 Sure.

00:35:08.960 He can do that if he doesn't sign this bill.

00:35:11.340 Now, he's going to have, he would have to get 67 senators to step up to overturn that national emergency.

00:35:19.220 And the idea of that happening, I mean, you're going to have to get 20 Republicans to stand up against that.

00:35:23.120 I don't know.

00:35:24.040 I don't think they're going to get to there.

00:35:25.480 It's got to go to the Supreme Court.

00:35:26.820 And I hope the Supreme Court turns it over only because of this.

00:35:30.980 Did you see Nancy Pelosi and all of the other Democrats?

00:35:35.220 Elizabeth Warren.

00:35:35.980 Everyone came out yesterday and said, well, if you want to play a national emergency, health care is a national emergency.

00:35:43.540 Guns are a national emergency. 0.99

00:35:45.580 They are telling you right now.

00:35:47.760 What they're going to do.

00:35:48.740 If you do this, fantastic.

00:35:52.060 Climate change.

00:35:52.900 Climate change.

00:35:54.000 A national emergency.

00:35:54.660 They'll do it all.

00:35:55.280 They really will.

00:35:55.980 They said it.

00:35:56.620 They're telling you right now.

00:35:58.240 In advance.

00:35:58.640 If you do this, then climate change, guns, it's all a national emergency.

00:36:05.180 And they will do it.

00:36:07.240 And since we're proposing trades over and over again, you're progressive.

00:36:10.060 You're a liberal, right?

00:36:10.980 You want to grow the size of government.

00:36:12.720 You want to grow the size of federal power.

00:36:15.400 Would you trade the entire border wall?

00:36:18.540 You give up the entire border wall.

00:36:20.000 Forget 8%.

00:36:20.780 Would you trade the entire border wall to get the precedent set that you can now declare a national emergency and do whatever you want over that?

00:36:28.640 As a progressive.

00:36:30.000 As a progressive, you would take that.

00:36:31.380 I would.

00:36:31.880 I would take that trade in a second.

00:36:33.240 I'd wall that entire border off.

00:36:35.600 Because you could always overwrite it with another national emergency.

00:36:39.220 The national emergency power is so strong if used by this.

00:36:42.980 They can redirect.

00:36:44.100 There are billions and billions and trillions of dollars you could redirect over a period of time.

00:36:48.400 You could say it's a national emergency to build the border fence.

00:36:51.760 Oh, it's a national emergency to stop building the border fence because we're losing workers in our country.

00:36:58.300 And trade is stopping.

00:37:00.040 Or there's a humanitarian crisis.

00:37:02.380 It doesn't matter anymore.

00:37:04.640 Or the wall's built, but we have to let everyone in because of a humanitarian crisis.

00:37:08.260 The wall does nothing if you're letting everyone in anyway.

00:37:10.740 All these things can be overridden if you let this happen.

00:37:13.860 This bill also expands the alternatives to detention program from $82,000 to $100,000.

00:37:19.520 So instead of housing family units at the border, what it's saying is, oh, don't house them there.

00:37:25.660 You can't keep them there.

00:37:27.020 Let them go into the interior of the nation.

00:37:29.900 And we're just going to have them come back to court.

00:37:32.860 Which they never do.

00:37:36.540 Almost, there's something like 2% of the time they show up.

00:37:41.380 It provides $40 million for additional ICE staffing.

00:37:46.320 What?

00:37:47.080 Yes, but the ICE staffing has to be dedicated overall ATD case management, particularly the asylum seekers.

00:37:56.440 So what that means is you can hire more ICE, but the ICE agents are only there to help illegal aliens settle in a non-detention center in the country.

00:38:07.880 So you've taken the ICE management or the ICE mission and you've completely flipped it.

00:38:14.620 Now you are helping illegal aliens come into the country and find some place to live. 0.99

00:38:24.260 You should really call the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414.

00:38:30.040 And encourage President Trump not to sign this.

00:38:33.460 Please don't sign this, Mr. President.

00:38:34.620 Please don't sign this.

00:38:35.820 Please don't sign this.

00:38:37.160 Go for a continuing resolution.

00:38:38.900 You can keep the government open.

00:38:41.360 Go for a continuing resolution.

00:38:43.720 The bill also gives over a billion dollars to the Smithsonian.

00:38:47.780 What does the Smithsonian have to do with it?

00:38:50.240 Yeah.

00:38:51.020 $3.4 billion in refugee assistance.

00:38:54.240 Oh, man.

00:38:55.020 $4.4 billion in international disaster assistance.

00:38:58.680 That's $100 million more.

00:39:01.080 Wow.

00:39:01.640 It doesn't eliminate any foundations that Trump wanted to get rid of, including the Asia Foundation, the U.S.-Africa Development Foundation, the Inter-American Foundation, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.

00:39:13.680 This thing is just, this is, this is worse, I think, we will find over time.

00:39:24.340 This is worse than Obamacare.

00:39:26.760 This bill will do more damage to our country than I think Obamacare. 0.98

00:39:34.080 I could be wrong because nobody's read the damn bill yet.

00:39:37.300 But they've signed it.

00:39:40.820 And please, Mr. President, please, there is no rush to this bill.

00:39:46.440 Continuing resolution.

00:39:48.560 They do not have you over the barrel.

00:39:51.000 They have all of us over the barrel.

00:39:53.180 If you declare a national emergency because they will use the same thing.

00:39:59.660 And I don't think Kavanaugh will overturn his national emergency.

00:40:05.600 He believes in the power of the president.

00:40:08.240 And look, I think even if you want the national emergency, you can still have that without signing this bill.

00:40:12.920 It's important to separate these two things.

00:40:14.380 The only reason that people are tying them together is because the reported deal is that Mitch McConnell said, OK, I'll support your national emergency if you say yes to this bill.

00:40:25.220 That is why they're tying them together.

00:40:26.920 There's your first mistake.

00:40:27.440 Mr. President, please, Mitch McConnell is not your friend.

00:40:31.700 Mitch McConnell is not your friend.

00:41:06.700 All right.

00:42:49.260 Hello, Barbara.

00:42:51.460 Thank you for everything you do.

00:42:53.660 I've been trying to call the White House, and the comment line is completely booked.

00:42:59.040 You can't get through.

00:42:59.940 And the switchboard just sent you the comment line.

00:43:03.120 And I did email, so I just want to tell people it's flooded right now.

00:43:07.120 Good.

00:43:07.500 So here's what you need to do.

00:43:08.860 You need to email.

00:43:10.020 You need to tweet at POTUS and the real Donald Trump.

00:43:13.660 And you just say, please, Mr. President, do not sign this bill.

00:43:17.660 Continuing resolution.

00:43:19.800 Please do not sign this bill.

00:43:21.740 So tweet at him, because he does respond to social media, and get that message to him right now.

00:43:30.820 We are going to be covering the president's message here in a few minutes.

00:43:35.440 We believe that he is going to be declaring this national state of emergency.

00:43:40.640 We got a perfect guy to do color for us.

00:43:42.880 Bill O'Reilly is also joining us in just a moment.

00:43:47.800 Stand by as the Glenn Beck program continues.

00:43:51.740 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:44:09.920 Okay.

00:44:23.160 Wow.

00:44:23.820 You see this with now, after this cold snap that we had last week, or two weeks ago now?

00:44:29.040 The auto body shops are like, they're like so far behind because so many issues happened with how cold it got.

00:44:37.660 Yeah, people can't start their car anymore.

00:44:39.100 Right.

00:44:39.540 Just a block of ice.

00:44:40.740 It's already a giant hassle to get your car fixed.

00:44:43.720 Yeah, but what happens if you don't have any kind of insurance?

00:44:47.260 And I don't even know if this would fall under with CarShield.

00:44:51.060 But, man, they cover all of those expenses that you don't think about.

00:44:55.460 And when your car has problems, you just want to get it fixed.

00:44:59.400 And CarShield can cover you.

00:45:02.340 I have CarShield.

00:45:04.160 Yeah, I do too.

00:45:05.480 And it's an easy way to be able to knock out those big ones, especially when something comes up that's completely unexpected.

00:45:11.660 You could have, you could be on the, you know, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, you got a $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 repair.

00:45:17.040 You're done.

00:45:17.940 An $800 repair.

00:45:19.260 Yeah, you're in serious, serious trouble.

00:45:21.820 And CarShield just knocks those out for you.

00:45:23.340 And they don't make you pay for it and then you wait for the reimbursement they pay.

00:45:49.260 Bill O'Reilly, the country is at a crossroads here.

00:46:01.420 I don't know if you've had a chance to read the bill, but Congress certainly didn't have a chance to read it before they signed it and passed it.

00:46:08.800 But it is, dare I use the word today, abortion.

00:46:13.260 And the Congress is shouting their abortion.

00:46:16.300 Meanwhile, the president's about to speak to declare a national emergency.

00:46:21.900 It makes sense of this.

00:46:24.620 Well, I'm curious.

00:46:26.340 As far as the spending bill is concerned, what troubles you about just the actual spending from the federal government until September?

00:46:35.980 Well, it adds a whole bunch of spending.

00:46:39.920 I have focused very little on the actual spending in the bill.

00:46:43.400 You don't like it because it's permissive and no discipline.

00:46:46.740 No, no, no.

00:46:47.460 No, no, no.

00:46:47.840 It adds a lot of new spending.

00:46:50.200 But in this bill, let me see if I can find it real quick.

00:46:53.440 It has things in it.

00:46:54.860 For instance, we can hire new border agents, but they have to help people find a place to live.

00:47:03.180 You are not allowed to use any of these funds.

00:47:10.560 You can now, let's see, none of the funds by this act or any other act or provided from any account in the Treasury United States derived from the collection of fees, blah, blah, blah,

00:47:20.320 can be used to place in detention, remove, refer for a decision whether to initiate removal proceedings or initiate removal proceedings against a sponsor, potential sponsor, or member of a household of a sponsor, or a potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien child.

00:47:36.940 So you can no longer use tax dollars to arrest or deport anyone who lives in the same home as an unaccompanied child that's an alien or could potentially do that. 0.66

00:47:48.620 I mean, that is a, any, any, you know, MS-13, they say 30 to 40 percent of arrests of MS-13 members are, quote unquote, unaccompanied alien children.

00:47:59.440 So, I mean, this is.

00:48:00.500 Well, look, I'm not going to worry about this minutiae because what I see is the long game, and that's what President Trump is doing today.

00:48:11.220 What is the long game?

00:48:13.060 Please tell me the long game.

00:48:14.580 Make me feel better.

00:48:15.860 Re-election of Trump.

00:48:16.860 That's a long game.

00:48:20.580 So Trump says, look, they got me in a corner.

00:48:23.980 They kind of outsmarted me in the sense that they shut the government down.

00:48:29.480 Americans overwhelmingly don't want that.

00:48:31.300 They don't want that as a solution.

00:48:33.300 So I got to get out of this.

00:48:35.400 And I'll get out of it by signing the stupid bill.

00:48:39.160 Oh, my God.

00:48:39.600 And then finding money elsewhere, which he has.

00:48:43.320 Well, in the bill, it also says he can only build in the Rio Grande Valley, and it is intentionally.

00:48:50.320 Yeah, but only under the bill it can.

00:48:53.600 He's going to declare a state of emergency, which is going to override the bill, and basically say, I have a bill where I want, and I got $9 billion more to do it.

00:49:02.660 And here's where it comes from.

00:49:04.660 He's already got it.

00:49:05.920 He's already got the $9 billion.

00:49:06.960 So the state of emergency that overrides the dopey bill.

00:49:15.400 Everybody has to understand that.

00:49:17.000 But the rights, or he's adding on top of it?

00:49:19.240 No, it overrides it.

00:49:20.520 No, because it's an executive action by the president of the United States declaring a state of emergency where the bills in place can be superseded to deal with that emergency.

00:49:31.440 That's what a state of emergency is.

00:49:32.920 That's why everybody hates it.

00:49:34.640 So they don't want to give the power that the president that much power to override the legislature.

00:49:38.680 But the long game is that he knows that if he just wimped away and didn't do anything, he'd lose, because that 15% of the Ann Coulter right would turn on him.

00:49:51.140 And he needs to.

00:49:51.640 No, you know, I disagree with you here, Bill.

00:49:53.620 I'm watching Twitter, and this may change, but I'm watching Twitter, and I'm watching the usual, you know, border Trump, you know, suspects that are, you know, mad at him if he does anything like that.

00:50:05.600 And they're not for this bill either.

00:50:07.520 He does have another out, and that's pass a continuing resolution.

00:50:12.360 Veto this and pass a continuing resolution.

00:50:16.400 I think that, again, we'll go on to the long game.

00:50:19.540 Number one, the Twitter mob are activists, so they don't reflect his support crew.

00:50:25.880 What the Trump administration and the Obama administration, everybody does, is internal polling, okay, that we don't see.

00:50:32.160 And the internal polling, I can tell you for a fact, showed that, number one, America does not want another government shutdown, and number two, as long as the president starts to build some of the wall, that they're likely to vote for him for re-election.

00:50:48.820 So that's what the internal polling showed, so that the decision was made by the Trump administration to go this way to try to get as many people in his base to, basically, they don't like it, but they're not going to turn on him.

00:51:04.500 So that is the long game.

00:51:07.500 I want Stu to ask you a question that he asked me, and I want to hear your reaction.

00:51:13.240 Well, Bill, it looks like the national emergency would get potentially about 8% more of the wall built, which is a significant amount on a 2,000-mile border, plus the 2% that's in the bill.

00:51:25.960 So it's not insignificant, and I think the border wall is a good idea.

00:51:30.600 Taking out the whole thing about the precedent that the national emergency sets and everything else, this thing that we talked about briefly a minute ago, which basically says you no longer can use tax funds to arrest.

00:51:43.660 Illegal immigrants in almost every situation. 0.96

00:51:45.880 I think it encourages.

00:51:46.380 No, no, not almost every situation.

00:51:48.460 Only when minors are involved.

00:51:50.720 Involved.

00:51:51.380 This is a minor-driven thing.

00:51:53.020 Right.

00:51:53.640 That's true.

00:51:54.680 I will tell you that it's going to be used by the people smugglers.

00:51:59.680 Oh, it'll increase.

00:52:00.620 Wouldn't you?

00:52:01.040 Because, you know, every kid they can find will be stapled to an adult.

00:52:05.400 Yep.

00:52:06.080 You know that's going to happen.

00:52:07.940 Of course.

00:52:08.480 It incentivizes human trafficking.

00:52:09.960 It's a chess game here.

00:52:11.300 So, look, you have to step back and you have to say, what is the most effective way to defeat the permissive forces on the left who don't want any border security?

00:52:23.060 They want an open border.

00:52:23.860 I wrote a message of the day on BillOReilly.com that laid out what happened in California when the Hispanic population, Latino population, went from 3 million to 15 million.

00:52:37.500 The whole state became a Democratic precinct because of that five-fold jump in Hispanics living in California.

00:52:48.500 That's what happened there.

00:52:49.540 It's provable.

00:52:50.100 So, now you have, in the latest largest state, one-party state.

00:52:53.740 That's what the Democratic Party wants to do in Arizona, in Texas, in Florida, flood the zone with as many Latinos as they can, get in here by chain migration. 1.00

00:53:04.240 Remember, you get in here and you establish residency legally, you can take in 30 people.

00:53:11.680 Okay?

00:53:11.940 That's chain migration. 0.74

00:53:14.660 So, if Trump doesn't get reelected and someone like Biden or Michelle Obama wins, then our country is essentially going to change dramatically.

00:53:29.920 Yes, I agree.

00:53:30.520 Demographically, politically, economically, everything's going to change.

00:53:37.220 So, that the game that the Trump people are playing now is we have to stop that.

00:53:42.800 Okay, so, but if you're building a wall, if you're building a wall, I know you say this is a minutia.

00:53:48.620 If you're building a wall with this bill, it accomplishes everything the Democrats want, even if...

00:53:58.500 There's no other alternative.

00:53:59.760 Yes, there is.

00:54:01.020 A continuing resolution.

00:54:03.780 This is a symbol of the fight.

00:54:07.140 It's a symbol of the fight.

00:54:08.980 It's like the Rubicon.

00:54:10.680 It's an expensive symbol, though.

00:54:11.900 We have to make our stand here, because there's nowhere else to make the stand.

00:54:18.120 Where would you make the stand?

00:54:19.360 Say, Trump signs the bill, as you suggested, and then does something else.

00:54:25.900 No, no, no.

00:54:26.240 I don't want him to sign the bill.

00:54:27.420 My problem is with the bill.

00:54:28.960 My problem is with the bill, because every...

00:54:31.760 No, it doesn't.

00:54:32.800 A continuing resolution.

00:54:34.260 We've had one since George Bush left office.

00:54:36.880 Why this push all of a sudden for this spending bill, when you can just do what we've done since George Bush left office?

00:54:43.280 We don't have a budget.

00:54:45.540 We have a continuing resolution.

00:54:47.620 So sign a continuing resolution.

00:54:50.380 He has to basically go to the Congress and either put his name on a bill or not.

00:54:59.120 If he doesn't, as you suggest, then chaos breaks out.

00:55:03.980 I mean, it's just all over the place.

00:55:05.720 And he can't even govern.

00:55:07.640 Because every single day, there's going to be more litigation.

00:55:10.000 There's going to be this, that.

00:55:11.660 He's overstepped his authority.

00:55:13.340 We want this.

00:55:14.400 Nothing else will get done.

00:55:16.660 The whole government will be paralyzed.

00:55:17.960 What's happening in Great Britain with the Brexit thing?

00:55:20.320 So here's my feeling, is he is going to announce a continuing resolution, and he's going to sign this bill.

00:55:30.620 The bill will be implemented because everyone will be looking at the massive fight that's coming over the state of emergency.

00:55:42.400 And they're going to hold that wall up every step of the way through courts.

00:55:48.440 It will go to the Supreme Court.

00:55:50.220 Marco Rubio just said he's not sure he could support that.

00:55:53.520 I mean, it's going to be, that's all we're going to be talking about.

00:55:57.640 Meanwhile, more ICE agents will be employed because they can employ another 1,200.

00:56:05.240 But none of them can actually work on detaining people.

00:56:09.020 According to this bill, they have to be hired to help relocate people from the border into the center of the country,

00:56:17.640 wherever it is they want to go, and just catch and release.

00:56:22.180 But now we're a travel agency.

00:56:24.620 Now ICE is a travel agency.

00:56:26.800 Yeah, where do you want to go?

00:56:28.240 We'll drive you.

00:56:29.380 We'll drive you.

00:56:30.560 And so my thought is that—

00:56:33.500 I think you're taking it way too literally.

00:56:35.340 I don't think any of this stuff is going to happen.

00:56:37.280 I don't think any ICE agents are going to help anybody relocate into the United States.

00:56:41.040 They're basically going to try to wall it up in the sense that they're not going to let anybody in,

00:56:45.520 just like they did with the caravan.

00:56:47.360 All right, so the caravan shows up in Tijuana, and now they're in Texas,

00:56:50.120 and there's thousands of people living in tents.

00:56:52.760 Well, they're not getting in here.

00:56:54.320 All right, they're not getting in here for asylum.

00:56:56.000 They're not getting in here anyway because they walled it up.

00:56:59.300 They basically said, we're not taking you.

00:57:00.960 You're not coming in.

00:57:02.040 And just for the press, we'll take 25 a day.

00:57:05.380 All right, and we'll process them.

00:57:08.480 That's what's going to happen here.

00:57:09.520 It's the same thing.

00:57:11.180 But I think that the larger picture is that Americans have a decision to make.

00:57:16.420 What kind of country do you want?

00:57:18.080 All right?

00:57:18.420 And that's what the Trump people are playing.

00:57:21.260 They're playing, look at these crazy Democrats.

00:57:23.920 Look what they want to do.

00:57:25.460 All right?

00:57:26.020 So you can't give them power.

00:57:28.320 And that's what they're gambling on in the White House.

00:57:31.420 That message will get through.

00:57:33.620 And I think that I'm hopeful that that message is going to get through because we are at the—

00:57:39.420 We are at the end of the Republic.

00:57:41.940 Okay.

00:57:43.240 We're going to get back to Bill O'Reilly more on this.

00:57:45.760 And I want to talk to him about history with this coming up in just a second.

00:57:50.760 First, let me tell you about filter by.

00:57:52.640 Did you know that if you don't change your filter, one of the big problems with it is not only are, you know,

00:57:58.540 all the germs and dust and all the other nonsense that's going through your house,

00:58:01.960 it actually raises your energy bills because it causes your air conditioning, your heating—

00:58:06.960 To work harder.

00:58:07.520 Yeah, right, to work harder.

00:58:08.940 So you're constantly generating more energy all the time.

00:58:11.660 And depending on how big your house is, that could be a lot of money.

00:58:15.000 With filter by, the good thing is they just deliver it right to your house so you can be a lazy schlub like us.

00:58:20.060 And you just put it in.

00:58:21.080 When it shows up, you pop it in there, and then you know you've done your job.

00:58:24.460 So here's the free market system.

00:58:26.400 It's filter by.

00:58:27.380 Free market system says, hey, people don't change their filters enough because it's too complex.

00:58:33.860 They have to go to Home Depot, and they know people like Glenn Beck are just never going to go on a Saturday to Home Depot to get a filter to change it.

00:58:40.740 So far away from the theater.

00:58:42.240 And so it's just too lazy.

00:58:44.920 Okay.

00:58:45.740 And so it's going to cost, you know, more in energy and yada, yada, yada.

00:58:50.540 And the, you know, Ocasio-Cortez idea is, oh, it's eating too much energy, cut off all energy.

00:59:00.460 Now, I like the free market system better because it provides us with air conditioning and heating.

00:59:07.200 You know, the Green New Deal, it's kind of sketchy on the heating and the air conditioning. 0.67

00:59:12.420 So I'm going to go with filter by.

00:59:14.000 Free market does it again.

00:59:15.660 Filter, B-U-Y.com, filterby.com.

00:59:19.680 Ten seconds, station ID.

00:59:49.680 Get the first month free.

00:59:51.040 Go month to month.

00:59:51.940 Cancel any time.

00:59:52.980 Back with Bill O'Reilly.

00:59:54.120 We're still awaiting the president to speak.

00:59:55.820 Bill, one quick question for you because you are the author of 975 number one New York Times bestsellers.

01:00:01.320 Thank you.

01:00:01.800 And you have another one that is sure to be number one coming up about the president.

01:00:05.840 Yeah.

01:00:06.180 You know him better than anybody.

01:00:07.640 Every time you talk to him all the time, you always add really interesting perspective about the way he thinks.

01:00:12.680 You know, at least that's what I think.

01:00:13.800 I don't know what anyone else thinks.

01:00:14.660 But when it comes to this, we know the fight.

01:00:18.840 It's going to be a crazy fight.

01:00:20.600 Why didn't he stand like this when Republicans had control for two years?

01:00:25.700 Because they couldn't get a full caucus in the House because of the freedom people to support what he wanted to do.

01:00:38.420 So the freedom, what is it?

01:00:39.960 Freedom caucus.

01:00:40.760 Freedom caucus.

01:00:41.320 Freedom caucus.

01:00:41.720 Okay.

01:00:42.460 So they basically said, look, we're hard guys.

01:00:44.940 You're blaming this on the—

01:00:46.220 And this is what we want.

01:00:47.380 And Ryan, the speaker, couldn't coalesce.

01:00:51.500 They couldn't get it.

01:00:52.880 And then in the Senate, McConnell kept saying to him, look, I'm not going to get 60.

01:00:58.640 So no matter what I do, whatever proposal I put out, we're not going to get 60.

01:01:05.800 We're not going to be able to vote.

01:01:07.260 So he stymied in both houses.

01:01:09.160 Okay, so it's more likely now, right?

01:01:13.640 Like now the Democrats have control, at least then the Republicans—

01:01:16.440 Yeah, but now what he's going to do is not even listen to them.

01:01:20.420 So I can't impress upon you enough that a state of emergency gives a president tremendous latitude to do exactly what he wants to do.

01:01:29.520 Oh, I am very well aware of that.

01:01:33.800 It's concerning, though, isn't it?

01:01:34.720 But when you say, okay, the Democrats are dancing around saying, okay, now when we get power, we're going to do the gun thing.

01:01:39.720 But they're going to run up against constitutional issues.

01:01:42.220 On that one, they will.

01:01:43.260 That will be difficult.

01:01:44.140 But global warming, they won't.

01:01:46.220 Because I wrote a really brilliant column that I hope somebody read to back.

01:01:51.820 I did not, and I didn't ask anybody to read it.

01:01:54.700 What is this Green New Deal all about, really? 0.70

01:01:59.860 It's about totalitarianism.

01:02:01.780 Yes.

01:02:02.180 In every single country that has gone from a ruler to a dictator, the dictator phonied up some panicked thing that threw the population into this frenzy that we'll give away our rights and you can make it better Mussolini. 0.91

01:02:26.700 Every single one throughout history, there's never been an exception where people voluntarily said, oh, we'd like a dictator.

01:02:35.740 Come on in here, Franco, and tell us what to do.

01:02:38.980 This global warming stuff, this is where we're all going to die.

01:02:43.100 We're all going to die.

01:02:44.980 So we have to do Green New Deal where we, the Democrats in Washington, tell you what to eat.

01:02:51.060 All right, we're going to tell you what to drive, what medical procedures you can and cannot have.

01:02:58.520 We're going to take your stuff.

01:03:00.520 After you die, we're going to take everything you have.

01:03:03.260 Okay?

01:03:03.700 This is totalitarianism.

01:03:05.940 This isn't democracy.

01:03:07.280 So they want to control the lives of Americans on every single front, and they're using climate change to frighten people in Berkeley, California, who can barely find their way to the facilities.

01:03:26.200 All right?

01:03:26.940 They're that dense into supporting totalitarianism and one-party rule, which is exactly what they have in California.

01:03:35.120 One-party rule. 0.83

01:03:38.140 And that's what's happening, and it's frightening because it could succeed with the decline of our educational system.

01:03:46.760 And, by the way, the Green New Deal will tell the teacher what the teacher can teach and not teach. 0.71

01:03:52.420 It extends into every single thing America has.

01:03:57.880 And that's why I've sold 987,000 books, a million books, because I figured this stuff out first.

01:04:05.920 All right?

01:04:06.680 Well, only because you were listening to this program about four days ago when we said the same thing.

01:04:11.500 Look, here's the thing, Bill.

01:04:12.820 Here's the thing.

01:04:13.660 You're absolutely correct on that.

01:04:16.000 There is a growing fascistic or communistic, whatever, totalitarian view.

01:04:28.860 However it shapes up, there is a totalitarian view.

01:04:31.880 And the one thing you left out is the economy.

01:04:34.920 If Brexit goes horribly, which I think I'm hoping is kind of like the hype on Y2K, but if it goes horribly and Europe goes into the abyss, so do we.

01:04:46.620 And everyone will be clamoring for a bigger government?

01:04:49.940 And then we see it go away.

01:04:56.200 No, I disagree with that analysis.

01:04:58.340 Okay, good.

01:04:58.900 Well, hang on, hang on.

01:05:00.060 And we're going to come back with more from Bill O'Reilly here in a second.

01:05:04.740 I do want to tell stations that we're waiting for the president to give this speech to declare a national emergency.

01:05:13.480 If he comes out during the break, go ahead and take that, and we will join it already in progress on the other side with Bill O'Reilly.

01:05:22.480 But we will be taking it live.

01:05:27.540 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:05:30.200 President's Day is coming up.

01:05:48.080 And now they're the biggest in the industry.

01:05:50.760 They are selling more than anyone else online.

01:05:53.760 They're the world leader 23 years later because they did it right.

01:06:29.380 Coming up in just a couple minutes, we have Bill O'Reilly back on,

01:06:33.820 and we're also waiting for the President to speak live on the border.

01:06:36.800 We'll have that for you coming up.

01:06:40.380 All right, we're getting ready for the President.

01:06:43.080 He's expected to declare a national emergency.

01:06:47.740 Our chief researcher is in, Jason Batrill.

01:06:50.900 Well, Jason, tell me what this—he has to use very specific language here, does he not?

01:06:58.600 Yeah, the way the law has been changed over the years,

01:07:02.080 he's got to state very specifically how he's going to use the funds

01:07:05.140 and how he's going to, you know, everything he's going to use government-wise

01:07:10.040 in this national emergency.

01:07:11.460 So it'll be very, very telling on, you know,

01:07:14.200 how much this can be taken advantage of or abused going forward.

01:07:18.100 We're on—we're online now with our White House correspondent

01:07:22.220 from The Blaze in Washington, D.C.,

01:07:26.860 and John is sending us pictures that we have not seen on TV yet

01:07:31.380 of all of the—I want to say Gold Star Moms, but they're not Gold Star Moms— 0.54

01:07:36.440 Angel Moms.

01:07:37.060 They have all been invited to the Rose Garden,

01:07:41.560 and they have pictures of their fallen loved ones.

01:07:46.280 And so there's no doubt in our mind this is where he's going.

01:07:51.280 Bill O'Reilly is with us now.

01:07:53.640 Bill, as we wait for the President, is there anything here that you can add

01:07:58.980 to this conversation on just even declaring a national emergency?

01:08:03.580 Well, he told me he's not going to go and do it until Beck and O'Reilly

01:08:08.720 are finished on the radio, so—

01:08:10.260 Oh, good.

01:08:11.440 Yeah.

01:08:12.140 All right.

01:08:12.480 Well, I'm kind of excited to hear it, so maybe we should declare we're finished.

01:08:17.440 You know, he just didn't want that kind of backlash, you know,

01:08:21.300 to knock us out off the air.

01:08:23.180 The only thing I can tell you is that this is the ultimate political chess game,

01:08:30.660 and there is only one objective here, and that is to get Trump back for four years

01:08:38.580 so that he can then run wild with what he wants to do.

01:08:42.900 Because they're trying to implement a strategy where he would be reelected

01:08:49.800 and the House would go back to the Republicans, okay?

01:08:53.460 And they want to do it by radicalizing the Democrats, and that's not real hard.

01:08:58.700 It's the Democratic parties.

01:09:00.820 But old Joe Biden's in the race now, as I predicted and told you,

01:09:04.100 that he would be the frontrunner.

01:09:05.280 And unless Michelle Obama gets in, Biden, I believe, will be the nominee,

01:09:10.720 with Kamala Harris on the second.

01:09:13.540 And Trump could beat him, depending on the economy.

01:09:17.680 So that's what's really in play on all of this stuff.

01:09:21.640 You can get buried in minutia, as Beck has a tendency to do, okay?

01:09:26.540 But I'm telling you that these guys, when they have the power in the White House

01:09:33.700 and in Pelosi's office and in McConnell's office,

01:09:36.400 they can figure out ways around this stuff, that you can do that.

01:09:42.480 And it's a short-term play.

01:09:45.480 It's 2020 is the vote.

01:09:48.000 It's not far away.

01:09:50.480 So that's what it's all about.

01:09:52.320 And I can say, you know, minutia is, obviously, you can get hung up on that.

01:09:55.700 But is it, are you thinking in a somewhat minutia-friendly way

01:10:01.460 while saying the only goal is 2020's election?

01:10:04.760 Yeah, the long-term goal is 18 months.

01:10:06.880 As you just said, that's short-term.

01:10:08.100 Look, I know this White House.

01:10:10.260 As you guys know, I know it.

01:10:12.480 I know it.

01:10:13.760 So that's what they're thinking.

01:10:14.740 Nobody can say, oh, O'Reilly's wrong.

01:10:16.380 I'm not.

01:10:18.680 That's the only thing on their mind now.

01:10:22.980 That's it.

01:10:24.300 All right, so you're not saying –

01:10:25.680 If they don't give up, you know, this or that,

01:10:28.200 the Border Patrol is going to take somebody to 7-Eleven, they'll do it.

01:10:33.920 Because they'll obliterate all that if they can regain power in both houses

01:10:38.940 and he gets reelected in 2020.

01:10:42.380 Does that worry you, though, as a motivation?

01:10:44.920 No.

01:10:45.060 What worries me is, look, I interviewed Donald Trump Jr. yesterday, all right, for the book.

01:10:52.420 The United States of Trump.

01:10:54.160 And he said something very astute.

01:10:56.460 And he was in a great interviewer, a thousand times better than his father,

01:11:00.520 who didn't want to tell me anything about his background.

01:11:02.960 I found out anyway.

01:11:05.540 But Trump Jr. said to me, I live in Manhattan, and most of my friends are liberals.

01:11:12.780 And in the past, I could understand many of their positions.

01:11:19.080 Now, I can't.

01:11:21.260 But the party has moved so far left, it's so destructive,

01:11:26.400 that no longer can I even have a conversation with him.

01:11:29.320 Okay, hang on.

01:11:29.900 Here comes the president.

01:11:31.720 Here comes the president of the United States.

01:11:33.240 Thank you, Bill.

01:11:34.000 Billorelli.com is the place to go, as well as –

01:11:37.320 he's got the new Trump book coming up, and you can always buy all of his other ones as well.

01:11:40.400 All right.

01:11:40.740 All right, stations, we are on just a bit of a delay, just a couple of seconds delay.

01:11:46.340 So we are going to be taking the president, who is expected now to make the – declare a state of national emergency.

01:11:58.000 And this is going to be a – you know, it's a big moment.

01:12:01.760 We're yet to see how it's going to play out.

01:12:03.000 There's a huge fight in the – as far as – Democrats will definitely try to overturn this.

01:12:07.960 There will also be a huge court battle, and that battle is not decided yet.

01:12:12.000 It's never been tested on something like this.

01:12:14.660 It does appear he can legally do this.

01:12:17.100 On the other side of that, though, it has never been tested on anything even somewhat controversial.

01:12:22.980 So there's a lot of wrangling to go on.

01:12:26.100 Likely scenario, if he does this, he's probably still not actually starting to build the wall for quite some time.

01:12:31.260 He also – this will be the first time a state of emergency has actual appropriated funds for anything.

01:12:37.840 Here we go, the president.

01:12:39.720 Before we begin, I'd like to just say that we have a large team of very talented people in China.

01:12:47.100 We've had a negotiation going on for about two days.

01:12:50.960 It's going extremely well.

01:12:53.540 Who knows what that means because it only matters if we get it done.

01:12:57.400 But we're very much working very closely with China and President Xi, who I respect a lot.

01:13:05.940 Very good relationship that we have.

01:13:08.780 And we're a lot closer than we ever were in this country with having a real trade deal.

01:13:14.640 So we're covering everything, all of the points that people have been talking about for years.

01:13:20.240 So let me just give my live commercial here so when he gets to the emergency, we can get to it.

01:13:26.120 Then we'll – stations, we will continue.

01:13:28.620 Sarah, if he changes and goes to the national emergency, let me know.

01:13:33.000 But real quick, let me talk about Mercury Real Estate, one of our sponsors, realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:13:41.860 You can trust them for several reasons.

01:13:44.320 We have really done our homework.

01:13:46.180 These are the agents that are going to sell your home for top dollar and as quickly as possible.

01:13:51.900 It's been a huge success.

01:13:53.660 And it comes from three places.

01:13:56.280 Selling or buying your home, complicated.

01:13:58.320 You need somebody who's doing this full time and is really good at it.

01:14:01.280 And second, the most part of – the biggest part of a sale or purchase is evaluating your home, how much it's really worth, how much it can sell for, how much you should buy it for.

01:14:09.780 And the third is you have to have confidence that that real estate agent knows what they're doing.

01:14:15.260 We can help you match the right real estate agent for your next purchase of a home or if you have to sell your home.

01:14:24.520 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:14:25.700 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:14:28.000 Yep, you didn't miss –

01:14:29.940 Okay, hang on, don't –

01:14:31.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:14:36.200 All right, President Trump is talking in the Rose Garden.

01:14:42.900 Go ahead and bring this up.

01:14:44.180 He hasn't said anything of substance yet except he has to build a wall and hasn't gotten any of the specifics yet.

01:14:52.040 Let's go ahead and bring him up.

01:14:53.340 The new highs that we created.

01:14:56.720 We have all the records.

01:14:58.980 We have every record.

01:14:59.820 But we're getting close to that point again where we'll create new records.

01:15:03.800 So our country is doing very well economically.

01:15:07.080 And we've done a lot.

01:15:09.180 But one of the things I said I have to do and I want to do is border security because we have tremendous amounts of drugs flowing into our country.

01:15:17.100 Much of it coming from the southern border.

01:15:20.420 When you look and when you listen to politicians, in particular certain Democrats, they say it all comes through the port of entry.

01:15:30.820 It's wrong.

01:15:31.500 It's wrong.

01:15:32.020 It's just a lie.

01:15:33.220 It's all a lie.

01:15:34.440 They say walls don't work.

01:15:36.360 Walls work 100%.

01:15:37.740 And whether it's El Paso, I really was smiling because the other night I was in El Paso.

01:15:44.300 We had a tremendous crowd.

01:15:46.900 And a tremendous crowd.

01:15:48.620 And I asked the people, many of whom were from El Paso, but they came from all over Texas.

01:15:53.440 And I asked them, I said, let me ask you the, as a crowd, when the wall went up, was it better?

01:16:00.780 You, you were there, some of you.

01:16:03.220 It was not only better, it was like 100% better.

01:16:07.820 You know what they did.

01:16:10.160 But that's only one example.

01:16:11.620 There are so many examples.

01:16:14.080 In El Paso, they have close to 2,000 murders right on the other side of the wall.

01:16:19.480 And they had 23 murders.

01:16:21.660 It's a lot of murders.

01:16:23.820 But it's not close to 2,000 murders.

01:16:26.000 Right on the other side of the wall, in Mexico. 0.62

01:16:29.680 So everyone knows that walls work.

01:16:32.600 And there are better examples than El Paso, frankly.

01:16:35.960 You just take a look almost everywhere.

01:16:39.100 Take a look at Israel. 0.56

01:16:40.240 They're building another wall.

01:16:42.220 Their wall is 99.9% effective, they told me.

01:16:45.340 99.9%.

01:16:46.740 That's what it would be with us, too.

01:16:49.480 The only weakness is they go to a wall and then they go around the wall.

01:16:52.920 They go around the wall and in.

01:16:56.160 Okay?

01:16:56.900 That's what it is.

01:16:57.700 Very simple.

01:16:59.360 And a big majority of the big drugs, the big drug loads, don't go through ports of entry.

01:17:05.020 They can't go through ports of entry.

01:17:06.900 You can't take big loads because you have people.

01:17:08.680 We have some very capable people, the Border Patrol, law enforcement, looking.

01:17:13.600 You can't take human traffic, women and girls. 1.00

01:17:17.920 You can't take them through ports of entry.

01:17:20.140 You can't have them tied up in the back seat of a car or a truck or a van.

01:17:24.780 They open the door.

01:17:25.620 They look.

01:17:26.240 They can't see three women with tape in their mouth or three women whose hands are tied. 0.52

01:17:31.720 They go through areas where you have no wall.

01:17:36.040 Everybody knows that.

01:17:37.060 Nancy knows it.

01:17:38.720 Chuck knows it.

01:17:39.680 They all know it.

01:17:41.120 It's all a big lie.

01:17:42.340 It's a big con game.

01:17:43.280 You don't have to be very smart to know.

01:17:49.040 You put up a barrier.

01:17:51.060 The people come in and that's it.

01:17:55.300 They can't do anything unless they walk left or right and they find an area where there's

01:17:59.880 no barrier and they come into the United States.

01:18:02.100 Welcome.

01:18:03.600 We've detained more people.

01:18:05.840 Our border agents are doing such incredible work.

01:18:08.780 Our military has been incredible.

01:18:13.480 We put up barbed wire on top of certain old walls that were there.

01:18:19.580 We fixed the wall and we loaded up with barbed wire.

01:18:22.380 It's very successful.

01:18:24.500 But our military has been fantastic and I want to thank them.

01:18:28.500 And it's very necessary.

01:18:30.360 We've broken up two caravans that are on their way.

01:18:32.800 They just are breaking.

01:18:34.300 They're in the process of breaking up.

01:18:36.160 We have another one that we haven't been able to break up yet.

01:18:38.720 We've been actually working with Mexico much better than ever before.

01:18:43.180 I want to thank the President.

01:18:44.760 I want to thank Mexico.

01:18:46.840 They have their own problems.

01:18:47.980 They have the largest number of murders that they've ever had in their history.

01:18:51.760 Almost 40,000 murders.

01:18:53.260 40,000.

01:18:56.420 And they've got to straighten that out and I think they will.

01:18:58.720 But I just want to thank the President because he's been helping us with these monstrous caravans

01:19:04.480 that have been coming up.

01:19:05.940 We had one that was up to over 15,000 people.

01:19:08.400 It's largely broken up.

01:19:11.100 Others have gotten through.

01:19:13.780 And in Tijuana, you have a lot of people staying there.

01:19:16.260 If we didn't have the wall up and if we didn't have the wall secured and strengthened,

01:19:20.300 they would have walked right through.

01:19:21.540 They'd be welcome to the United States.

01:19:23.720 One of the things we'd save tremendous, just a tremendous amount on would be sending the military.

01:19:31.480 If we had a wall, we don't need the military because we'd have a wall.

01:19:34.280 So, I'm going to be signing a national emergency.

01:19:40.700 And it's been signed many times before.

01:19:44.240 It's been signed by other Presidents.

01:19:47.840 From 1977 or so, it gave the Presidents the power.

01:19:52.920 There's rarely been a problem.

01:19:55.660 They signed it.

01:19:56.660 Nobody cares.

01:19:57.400 I guess they weren't very exciting.

01:19:59.400 But nobody cares.

01:20:00.400 They signed it for far less important things in some cases, in many cases.

01:20:05.480 We're talking about an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types

01:20:16.980 of criminals and gangs.

01:20:19.240 We have some of the greatest people I know.

01:20:20.980 They've been with me from the beginning of my campaign, almost from the first week.

01:20:24.440 The Angel Moms.

01:20:25.440 Unfortunately, we have new Angel Moms. 1.00

01:20:28.800 One incredible woman just showed me, her daughter, who we're talking about killed in the year

01:20:34.560 of 18.

01:20:35.560 I said, I haven't seen you before.

01:20:37.480 She said, no, I'm new.

01:20:38.480 I said, that's too bad.

01:20:40.480 It's too bad.

01:20:42.920 It's so sad.

01:20:45.140 Stand up just for a second.

01:20:46.240 Show how beautiful your girl was.

01:20:53.720 Thank you.

01:20:54.720 I have such respect for these people.

01:20:56.100 Angel Moms, Angel dads, Angel families, I have great respect for these people.

01:21:00.680 These are great people.

01:21:02.460 These are great people.

01:21:05.500 They're fighting for their children that have been killed by people that were illegally

01:21:09.100 in this country.

01:21:12.040 And the press doesn't cover them.

01:21:14.160 They don't want to, incredibly.

01:21:17.340 And they're not treated the way they should be.

01:21:19.700 They're fighting for other people because they don't want what happened to their children

01:21:23.100 or husband or anybody.

01:21:27.680 We have one young lady whose husband, please stand up.

01:21:32.500 Your husband was just killed in Maryland, incredible man, just killed.

01:21:44.180 Beautiful children won't be seeing their father again.

01:21:47.820 These are brave people.

01:21:48.700 These are people that are, they don't have to be here.

01:21:50.940 They don't have to be doing this.

01:21:52.440 They're doing it for other people.

01:21:54.640 So I just want to thank all of you for being here.

01:21:56.660 Okay?

01:21:57.660 I really do.

01:21:58.660 I want to thank you, incredible people.

01:22:00.900 Last year, 70,000 Americans were killed at least, I think the number is ridiculously low,

01:22:11.160 by drugs, including meth and heroin and cocaine, fentanyl.

01:22:18.160 Now, one of the things that I did with President Xi in China, when I met him in Argentina at

01:22:25.400 a summit, before I even started talking about the trade, it was a trade meeting.

01:22:30.960 It went very well.

01:22:32.240 But before I talked about trade, I talked about something more important.

01:22:36.620 I said, listen, we have tremendous amounts of fentanyl coming into our country.

01:22:43.940 It kills tens of thousands of people, I think far more than anybody registers.

01:22:49.700 All right.

01:22:50.140 This is the President of the United States.

01:22:52.420 He has stated here that he is going to declare a national emergency.

01:22:58.380 He is talking about all of the reasons.

01:23:01.980 He has so far not given any of the details of the national emergency.

01:23:05.160 We're going to take a break, check in with the local stations, and then we will be back

01:23:09.460 to give some analysis.

01:23:10.400 We also are going to be talking to John Ziegler about what's happening in Chicago.

01:23:17.860 There's some breaking news in Chicago that is truly a sign of our times.

01:23:23.080 All coming up after the next break.

01:23:26.480 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:23:29.040 Today is a tough day for Americans who believe that our country is in real trouble and who

01:23:39.780 also believe that the way to lose the country is to lose the Constitution of the United States

01:23:46.780 and the balance of power.

01:23:48.760 We are facing a double-edged sword.

01:23:51.560 Do you do what you need to do to save from the onslaught of the left and just do what you

01:24:04.060 have to do right now?

01:24:05.760 Or do you think long-term and, I don't even know, bypass this and take your lumps?

01:24:14.960 And then what?

01:24:15.960 Maybe lose the election?

01:24:17.360 And if you lose the election, then what?

01:24:20.620 Then you have a full onslaught, full bore.

01:24:24.520 We're going to talk about the president's speech, what he is recommending, what Congress

01:24:29.200 has just passed.

01:24:30.520 It's an abomination.

01:24:32.100 And we'll begin there in one minute.

01:24:37.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:39.960 There was a lot of news in cryptocurrencies yesterday.

01:24:43.080 I printed off a bunch of stories.

01:24:44.120 I haven't had a chance to read them yet.

01:24:45.360 Yeah, I mean, there's always tons of news here.

01:24:48.280 They're trying to—this is a huge development as far as our financial future goes, and they're

01:24:53.640 still in the middle of sorting all of this out.

01:24:55.880 Could go really well.

01:24:57.540 Could go the other way.

01:24:58.820 But you need to understand it.

01:25:00.060 You need to understand the fundamentals of it.

01:25:01.420 Yeah, and governments are now starting to look into their own cryptocurrency.

01:25:05.720 Venezuela tried it already.

01:25:07.180 Yeah, I know.

01:25:07.600 It didn't work.

01:25:09.180 It is going to play a role in our lives.

01:25:11.780 Now, we hired a Wall Street hedge fund manager, Tika Tiwari.

01:25:16.920 He was in our office.

01:25:19.340 Yeah, he was talking about cryptocurrencies.

01:25:20.840 This is a guy who really—I mean, he's made a lot of money on cryptocurrencies.

01:25:24.980 And, you know, you have to have people who actually understand this stuff, people who have

01:25:28.760 been involved in these markets for a long time, who understand the fundamentals of how

01:25:32.460 blockchain works.

01:25:33.380 And we were sitting here, and we've been trying to learn about blockchain for years.

01:25:36.180 And he was sitting in our office.

01:25:38.340 He explained it all to us.

01:25:39.560 We said, could you do it like a course?

01:25:41.480 So he did.

01:25:42.760 For a limited time, right now, you can take risk-free 30-day trial of this course by going

01:25:47.680 to smartcryptocourse.com.

01:25:49.760 It's smartcryptocourse.com.

01:25:51.680 People who are taking it, young and old, people who have no knowledge and a lot of knowledge

01:25:57.000 saying, this is changing my understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain.

01:26:01.520 It's very important if you want to be a part of the future and the design of the future.

01:26:05.460 Take this course now, smartcryptocourse.com.

01:26:08.620 That's smartcryptocourse.com, or call 877-PBL-BECK, 877-PBL-BECK, or smartcryptocourse.com.

01:26:25.920 Okay, Jason, we didn't really get any detail at all on what he's planning on doing, did we?

01:26:33.160 No, just basically the papers will be filed, pretty much, and the national emergency is

01:26:38.580 going to happen later today.

01:26:39.620 That's really all we know.

01:26:40.480 Right.

01:26:40.700 So we don't know any of the details, but here's basically how things happen.

01:26:47.020 Here's a really likely scenario.

01:26:48.700 So the way this National Emergency Act operates is, it's kind of strange in the way we normally

01:26:57.100 think about how Washington works.

01:27:00.020 Basically, the president can say he wants a national emergency on pretty much anything

01:27:06.060 he wants.

01:27:06.680 Now, that's never been challenged in court, what determines a national emergency.

01:27:10.360 But the way the law is structured, essentially, the president can say, we have a national

01:27:15.020 emergency on whatever he wants, and it can go forward.

01:27:19.720 He can change the thing.

01:27:21.580 He can take money from one place and move it to another place because he's decided this

01:27:25.660 is an emergency.

01:27:26.660 Now, Congress, when they passed this, of course, was aware of the possibility that a president

01:27:31.160 could make up national emergencies about whatever they wanted.

01:27:34.020 So what they said was, if he does a national emergency, Congress has an opportunity to

01:27:39.920 overturn it.

01:27:41.580 And so that was just over a normal vote and the way that the Congress normally operates.

01:27:47.300 Because appropriations are, money is involved.

01:27:51.420 Yep.

01:27:51.680 And Congress is the only place constitutionally that can say money is being spent.

01:27:59.140 Right.

01:27:59.380 Senate can't do it. 1.00

01:28:00.380 No.

01:28:00.600 Only Congress.

01:28:01.520 It's the power of the purse.

01:28:02.540 You hear that all the time.

01:28:03.260 So they have the power of the purse to say, you know what?

01:28:04.940 No, this isn't a national emergency.

01:28:07.320 The issue with this is, when that got to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court said, well,

01:28:14.440 you can't avoid our normal process of a presidential veto.

01:28:20.960 And so they changed the law in an incredibly fundamental way, which says, if Congress overrides

01:28:28.820 the national emergency, the president has said that they want, the president still can veto

01:28:35.440 their override, meaning it gets sent back to the House and Senate, and you need a super

01:28:44.320 majority to be able to overturn it.

01:28:46.500 Two-thirds.

01:28:46.940 So, which makes the oversight much less powerful for Congress.

01:28:52.600 So, to me, when the Supreme Court did that, what they should have done is throw the entire

01:28:57.180 law out and make Congress do it over. 1.00

01:28:58.920 Now, so you know, this is not a longstanding law.

01:29:01.500 I mean, it is, I guess, if you're young.

01:29:02.880 But this law came into play under Carter, and it was for the Iranian hostage crisis.

01:29:10.300 We were seizing all of the funds that Obama just released and returned in the middle of

01:29:16.780 the night in the airport, if you remember that.

01:29:19.140 We were seizing their assets.

01:29:22.520 So that's where this national emergency started, was under the Carter administration.

01:29:26.960 We have not had it.

01:29:27.840 This is not something that is foundational to the Constitution or anything else.

01:29:31.200 No, and we should also point out that, you know, you can make an argument to say, we

01:29:36.440 need to act really quickly on something.

01:29:37.820 We need a national emergency.

01:29:38.700 We can't wait around for Congress.

01:29:39.880 You can make that argument.

01:29:42.080 There's no reason, though, that there needs to be more than what's, let's say, let's go

01:29:45.700 crazy, six months.

01:29:47.080 Let's say a president could demand an emergency, lasts for six months, and then that ends.

01:29:52.000 And by then, Congress has to pass something that backs it up.

01:29:55.280 Because the national emergency you're talking about under Carter is still in effect today.

01:29:59.920 Well, that's not because of Carter.

01:30:02.060 It does end.

01:30:03.440 It ends every, what, six months?

01:30:05.160 Yeah, it ends every six months.

01:30:06.860 However, it's the president that has to say that it's still going.

01:30:11.880 And the president never gives back power.

01:30:16.640 Why would you?

01:30:17.240 You don't have to.

01:30:18.080 Right.

01:30:18.380 So, let me walk through here what is likely to happen.

01:30:23.660 President says there's a national emergency.

01:30:26.500 I would say almost definitely the Democratic House will say this is not an emergency.

01:30:34.380 They will overturn the emergency declaration.

01:30:37.320 Ocasio-Cortez and Castro have already said they're introducing the bill, I believe, today.

01:30:41.780 So, then the Senate will then go and have an opportunity to do the same thing.

01:30:46.320 Now, this is Republican controlled.

01:30:47.820 However, I would bet at this point that the Senate will also overturn the president's national emergency.

01:30:56.000 Right now, we already have Susan Collins on record basically saying she's voting against it.

01:31:00.920 We already have, it looks like Rand Paul, who is fearful of executive power, and he is voting against it.

01:31:06.620 There are two or three others that have indicated likely they will vote against it.

01:31:11.520 Now, this is an easy vote for a Republican senator because they can say, all right, well, we're voting against it.

01:31:17.180 We don't really like this move.

01:31:18.880 The issue here is then it goes, if those two things happen, President Trump has to sign a reversal of his own executive order or his own national emergency, which, of course, he will not do.

01:31:28.100 He will veto it.

01:31:29.220 Then it will go back again to the House.

01:31:30.840 I think there is an actual possibility that even with the two-thirds needed, the House may get it because of the fact it's Democratic controlled.

01:31:41.180 And I think you'll get enough Republican House members to go through and say, yeah, we're going to overturn it.

01:31:46.720 I don't think you'll get there on the Senate.

01:31:48.860 No.

01:31:49.120 So, that is a process of what we just talked about is, what, a month?

01:31:52.580 Right?

01:31:52.840 I mean, who knows how long that takes.

01:31:54.420 With these guys in Washington, it could take even longer.

01:31:56.580 Well, it depends on how much political hay.

01:31:59.020 I mean, they can get things done, as we have seen.

01:32:01.080 They put this bill together.

01:32:02.280 They passed it, signed it, and gave it to the president in, what, 12 hours?

01:32:06.020 Yeah, it gets quick when they want to make it quick.

01:32:08.800 Now, after that, though, let's just say that that's true.

01:32:11.220 House maybe does get the two-thirds, but the Senate does not, which I think would be very difficult to get that high.

01:32:18.500 It would have to be massively unpopular, not only with Americans in general, but with Republicans, for that to happen.

01:32:24.320 If that does not happen, it will then enter a lengthy court fight.

01:32:29.980 The courts, as constituted right now, have been very friendly to the injunction.

01:32:37.660 Clarence Thomas has spoken out against this and said, this needs to stop, but we have not stopped it yet.

01:32:42.940 They're doing these injunctions on Trump all the time.

01:32:44.980 Whenever they disagree with him, they'll stop him from doing it before the decision's made, and it goes all the way up the ladder.

01:32:49.720 This will likely climb the entire ladder all the way to the Supreme Court.

01:32:54.180 You could be looking at two years before he even lays one piece of steel for this fencing that he's trying to do.

01:33:02.260 Well, he could accelerate it to the Supreme Court.

01:33:05.240 He could try, yeah.

01:33:06.040 Yeah, he could try.

01:33:06.860 You can accelerate.

01:33:07.720 The president can accelerate it to the Supreme Court.

01:33:09.560 Oh, the Supreme Court, as another branch, does not have to listen to him.

01:33:13.580 Doesn't have to listen to him.

01:33:14.440 But they can.

01:33:14.840 But he, yeah, and if he tried to accelerate it through the Supreme Court, that actually would probably, if he fails in the Supreme Court to get this national emergency, it would help him make the case of we've got to change the court, depending on who voted which way.

01:33:33.300 Yeah, right.

01:33:33.840 And that's true, and I think he can also make a very good case at that point that he tried everything possible, which some people who are looking at this, you know, Bill mentioned this earlier, Bill O'Reilly, who was on with us earlier today, mentioned this as an idea that basically they're just concerned about his election, and this is a message to his supporters, look, we tried really hard on the border, even if it fails.

01:33:56.240 Which I think is true.

01:33:58.260 I, you know, we've talked about this many times, I will tell you, quite honestly, I am, do not think this is a good idea.

01:34:04.320 I think it gives terrible, it's a terrible precedent.

01:34:06.680 Democrats will be able to do God only knows what with this power.

01:34:10.740 Well, they've already said.

01:34:11.520 They've already told you.

01:34:12.140 They've already said there's going to be climate change, the Second Amendment, which is, which will be harder to do.

01:34:16.800 Harder.

01:34:17.180 But they could do it with climate change, and the other one was...

01:34:21.380 Health care.

01:34:22.700 Health care.

01:34:23.080 They said, those are all in national emergencies, and we will, we'll do it.

01:34:27.500 I mean, you know, is the debt not a national emergency?

01:34:29.660 I mean, they could do it with that, too.

01:34:31.160 I mean, there's a million things that could happen, and what we're doing is transferring a giant, a giant amount of power to the president, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat going forward.

01:34:41.060 I think it's a terrible precedent to set.

01:34:42.900 And I will say that the right thing to do here is repeal and get rid of entirely the National Emergency Act.

01:34:50.360 You can come up with a new version of it that might give a few, a couple months of leeway before Congress has to pass something.

01:34:56.880 But there's no, there's no reason for an unending power for the president to be able to spend money on things that, in this case specifically, Congress specifically rejected spending money the way that he's spending it.

01:35:10.160 Now, I agree with the way he's spending it in many ways, but the Congress, who has the power of the purse, specifically rejected spending money on this.

01:35:19.060 And now he is going through it and doing it anyway.

01:35:23.080 The precedent being set there is really bad.

01:35:25.720 He didn't get enough for it.

01:35:27.200 And the people most excited about this is that field of 2020 Democrats who are salivating with the opportunities that this gives them to go around the voter, to go around Congress.

01:35:39.560 And so you know that we don't, the president doesn't have to sign this bill.

01:35:43.380 Continuing resolution.

01:35:44.900 He can do something else.

01:35:45.680 And pass a continuing resolution.

01:35:47.600 Even if you like the national emergency part of this, you can still get out of this bill.

01:35:52.360 The bill is a dumpster fire.

01:35:55.540 Albatross.

01:35:56.040 It's worse than a dumpster fire.

01:35:58.060 It's an uncont—the dumpster's not there.

01:35:59.880 It's just everything's on fire.

01:36:00.880 It's just everything is on fire.

01:36:02.540 Thank you very much.

01:36:03.440 Did we miss anything here, Jason, before I move on?

01:36:06.080 The wording is important here, Jason, right?

01:36:07.480 Because the specifics were not given in the speech, but the wording of the act.

01:36:10.880 That's what I'm most concerned with.

01:36:12.400 That's what I really want to read now.

01:36:13.540 Because, like I said before, the law specifically states you have to be very, very specific on how these are allocated.

01:36:18.760 So we need to read this to see, because you can—it'll be abusing.

01:36:21.900 You can't just say a wall, right?

01:36:22.980 It has to be specific areas where the wall is built, how it's going to be built.

01:36:25.960 Where you're getting the money from.

01:36:27.320 He did say, I wouldn't need this fine talent if Congress would do their job.

01:36:32.840 The fine talent he kept pointing out was the military.

01:36:35.420 And keep an eye on how he says he can use—the president will be able to use the National Guard, the Border Patrol, all that stuff.

01:36:42.140 Like, that's going to be very specific on how much power he has, and which will continue probably into the next president.

01:36:47.640 This is not a good day for any side, in my opinion.

01:36:51.880 This is not a good day.

01:36:53.080 This is a lose-lose, unless you want to grab power.

01:36:57.300 This is a lose-lose, whether it's happening today or five years down the road with another president.

01:37:03.200 This is not—this is a horrible, horrendous bill that has been changed and added on to, I believe, from what the president said he would agree to.

01:37:16.640 It's horrible, horrendous.

01:37:19.440 It usurps everything he's tried to do and rubs his face in it, rubs your face in it.

01:37:28.260 The idea that I'm going to sign the bill and declare a national emergency, not a good idea.

01:37:35.660 He has the power to do it, but I think that's going to come back and bite us in the end in a big way.

01:37:41.400 And we all lose.

01:37:44.300 And again—

01:37:45.240 Either way, we all lose on this.

01:37:46.640 You mentioned quickly what the bill does, and we discussed this in an hour one.

01:37:51.160 But if this bill had been a fact for the past decade, let's say, the dispending bill, 30 to 40 percent of the arrests of MS-13 members would have had to have been abandoned.

01:38:03.600 Yes.

01:38:03.860 Because they were in a group that is protected in this bill.

01:38:07.260 Underage children or people who are caretakers of underage aliens or people who live in the same household as a caretaker of an underage alien or—

01:38:17.220 Or could.

01:38:17.840 Or could.

01:38:18.420 It literally says potential sponsors or people who live with potential sponsors of underage aliens.

01:38:26.400 And it does get more money for ICE.

01:38:28.580 Unfortunately, that money is to hire more ICE agents who are basically a travel agency.

01:38:34.740 You can't arrest more people.

01:38:37.300 They've cut down on the bed.

01:38:38.560 So ICE, new members have to be hired so they can help those illegals get from the border to where they're going, to where we'll process them sometime down the road.

01:38:47.680 This is a horrible bill.

01:38:49.980 All right.

01:38:50.920 Our sponsor this half hour is LifeLock.

01:38:54.140 Tax season.

01:39:10.960 They were so far ahead of their time.

01:39:13.400 Can you think of a company that was more ahead of their time than this?

01:39:16.320 No, no.

01:39:16.820 I mean, they were talking about this way before I actually took it seriously.

01:39:19.300 Right.

01:39:19.620 I mean, I used to roll my eyes going, LifeLock, yeah, what are you going to use LifeLock for?

01:39:22.840 And then 2000s came in, and you're like, okay, that's kind of really important.

01:39:28.500 You have to have it.

01:39:59.460 Station ID.

01:40:00.020 So there is a, there's another story that really, really astounds me.

01:40:24.440 Uh, and that is this story of, what's his name, Jusson?

01:40:29.900 Jusson's, Jusson's, whatever, I don't know.

01:40:32.780 The guy from Empire.

01:40:33.800 Yeah, he's a big star, apparently from, from Empire.

01:40:36.580 Um, and a guy that I really felt bad for, but I, from the very beginning, we didn't talk about it much because something didn't seem right.

01:40:45.480 And what didn't seem right to me at the very beginning was these guys were waiting in an alley or someplace.

01:40:52.700 They had rope, uh, and bleach with them.

01:40:56.620 It was one of the coldest days of the year in Chicago.

01:41:00.960 It was like 2 o'clock in the morning.

01:41:02.880 So two guys were just waiting for a black guy to come by so they could use the bleach and the rope on, when it's like 10 below zero outside?

01:41:15.240 It just didn't seem to make sense to me.

01:41:17.220 And then the camera footage started coming out.

01:41:19.740 Right.

01:41:20.020 And showing him completely fine on camera for all but about 60 seconds.

01:41:25.480 60 seconds.

01:41:26.400 Did the entire attack happen then?

01:41:29.180 I mean, it's not completely impossible, I suppose, but police are, I would say, very suspicious at this point that it was just a hoax.

01:41:37.460 Well, they apparently, um, uh, interviewed a couple of guys, uh, at the airport yesterday and took them, took them into custody.

01:41:45.960 And they're saying now that these guys were either the perpetrators, um, uh, or they were there.

01:41:54.420 Isn't that right?

01:41:55.600 Uh, we're going to get John Ziegler, who's really been following this.

01:41:58.520 Yeah.

01:41:58.640 Um, but they're friends of his.

01:42:01.260 So the idea is that for some reason he decided to make this up, uh, and he has, he has put the country through an emotional wreck.

01:42:12.260 Uh, I mean, I really felt bad for the guy.

01:42:14.300 We, you know, there were reports he's, he's in the hospital and, and all of this.

01:42:18.180 But the strange thing is he went out at two o'clock in the morning for a subway sandwich, 10 below zero.

01:42:23.660 Which, you know, connects with me as a fat guy.

01:42:26.160 Yeah, it does.

01:42:26.480 Except you have to walk.

01:42:27.760 Nothing, it's food.

01:42:28.700 Yeah.

01:42:28.960 But now that you have DoorDash and Uber Eats, why are you?

01:42:31.700 So anyway, it's two o'clock in the morning.

01:42:33.200 He, and he gets a subway sandwich.

01:42:35.200 He goes, he is monitored the whole time because of the street cameras, except for this 60 second period.

01:42:42.940 The 60 second period where they threw bleach on him, called him all kinds of names, uh, and, and put a rope around his neck.

01:42:51.080 Then he comes back into camera 60 seconds later and he's walking and he still has the subway.

01:42:57.760 Subway sandwich in his hand.

01:42:59.920 Now, I'm a fat guy, but I think I dropped the subway sandwich if somebody's throwing bleach on me and, uh, and putting a noose around my neck.

01:43:10.260 Unless you're using it as a weapon.

01:43:11.760 Um, um, occasionally you get that, that subway bread that's been there a little too long.

01:43:15.720 It's a little crusty, a little hard.

01:43:17.840 And then maybe that could take a perpetrator out. 0.53

01:43:20.880 But, uh.

01:43:21.740 Don't think so.

01:43:22.360 The odds are pretty low.

01:43:23.180 Don't think so.

01:43:24.300 So now, what is this going to do?

01:43:26.660 And, you know, what's really sad is we now have, I don't know.

01:43:33.780 I hate to call them agents because it sounds like a conspiracy, but we do.

01:43:37.620 We have agents, uh, that are, you know, by themselves.

01:43:41.240 They're not part of a consistent conspiracy.

01:43:43.500 They just agree with the left that America should be taken down and, and white people are bad.

01:43:49.920 And anything that adds to the cause, uh, is good.

01:43:53.960 And they're willing to do or say anything.

01:43:57.600 If this guy is indeed guilty of this as a hoax, I mean, he said he was on the phone with his agent, uh, or his manager at two o'clock in the morning.

01:44:11.040 And so his manager was the only witness, but he won't turn over his phone.

01:44:16.640 And the manager won't turn over his phone.

01:44:18.800 Well, your phone would have record of that phone conversation.

01:44:23.460 And so why won't you turn over your phone?

01:44:26.340 And then seemingly when it was turned over, there was deleted things in there.

01:44:29.820 I mean, it is a sketchy story.

01:44:31.840 We'll get all the details with John Ziegler here in a second.

01:44:34.000 Uh, but these hoaxes have happened over and over and over again.

01:44:37.620 And I mean, think of the, the, the, the difference between the way the kid with the red hat was hit, was treated when he is, when there is footage of every second of it.

01:44:47.720 And there's nothing he did wrong.

01:44:49.060 And this is automatically the biggest crime in the world.

01:44:52.480 And we have absolutely no evidence of it.

01:44:54.580 None.

01:44:54.940 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:45:02.800 No one, no one should feel unsafe in their home, period.

01:45:07.220 Fear doesn't have a place in a place like home.

01:45:24.520 Uh, they, uh, like I said, cover three million people, their homes and businesses here in just America.

01:45:30.460 They're starting to spread now overseas.

01:45:32.720 They're round o'clock, uh, monitoring to make sure the police or fire or ambulance is on the way.

01:46:04.760 Shut up. 0.95

01:46:05.500 I kid you not.

01:46:06.120 It's called chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher.

01:46:08.720 Get it wherever podcasts are sold.

01:46:13.200 John Ziegler, one of our, uh, one of our favorites.

01:46:16.200 Uh, one of my, one of my favorite, uh, hosts, uh, because he tells it like he sees it and, uh, the hell with the consequences.

01:46:25.120 Uh, and he is a guy who has been out on the edge of stories like what's happening in Chicago before.

01:46:33.080 Uh, and I think he's right.

01:46:35.660 And this one, uh, this story in Chicago had no one willing to do the work, uh, at least in the national media.

01:46:45.980 And he has been, it looks like as of last night, uh, it looks like he's right about this.

01:46:52.780 John, welcome to the program.

01:46:53.880 How are you?

01:46:54.280 All right.

01:46:55.100 Always good to talk to you, Glenn.

01:46:56.440 Yeah.

01:46:56.660 So, so John, tell everybody the story.

01:46:59.060 If anybody has been, hasn't been following it.

01:47:02.260 Well, uh, a couple of weeks ago, uh, empire actor, uh, Jussie Smollett, uh, claimed that he was the victim of a heinous, uh, hate crime at 2 a.m.

01:47:11.060 In Chicago, uh, where the, the show is filmed, uh, that was directed at him because of his race, uh, his celebrity and his homosexuality.

01:47:21.400 And that this occurred in the middle of a polar vortex, which is totally normal, uh, for, uh, two people who apparently were Donald Trump supporters who yelled at him.

01:47:31.920 And this is MAGA country because again, that's totally normal because everyone knows how well Trump did in Chicago and, uh, um, and, and how, how big, how big a MAGA country Chicago really is.

01:47:42.760 Um, and, and, and this, uh, story also came to the police in a, in a rather odd way.

01:47:48.500 There was a delay in calling 9-1-1.

01:47:51.500 There were, uh, details added after the original version of the story.

01:47:55.640 Like the MAGA, like the MAGA part, right?

01:47:57.940 That wasn't initially reported.

01:47:59.740 Right, which is important, as I think we'll get into later on, is to interpreting what really did happen here.

01:48:04.700 Because there's really two stories.

01:48:06.340 Whether what he said is true, and if it's not true, what really happened.

01:48:11.340 And to me, Glenn, debunking these super PC stories, as you've already suggested I've done numerous times before, is really a pretty simple mathematical equation.

01:48:20.640 I mean, I mean, it's really, it's totally math.

01:48:23.420 What I do is I take the plausibility of the story on its face, which in this case is probably about a 10 on a 100 scale.

01:48:30.940 You add to that the amount of evidence corroborating it in comparison to what the evidence should exist, which was in this case, I don't know, maybe 20 out of 10.

01:48:40.260 And then you divide it by how hesitant the media and the authorities are due to political correctness to debunk the story.

01:48:46.160 And in this case, that's 100, because this guy has a political correction force field that's impenetrable.

01:48:52.920 Okay, so hang on.

01:48:54.100 I just want to make sure that I understand, because what the claim is, is that he was targeted, right?

01:49:02.460 Right.

01:49:02.960 Okay, so he goes out of his apartment at 2 o'clock in the morning, and I don't think he set out a press release, that he was going to walk to go to Subway.

01:49:13.100 So we have to first believe that two people in, what, 10 below zero temperatures?

01:49:19.580 Yeah, or something along those lines, yes.

01:49:21.520 10 below zero temperatures were waiting for him to cross their path on the way to getting this Subway sandwich at 2 o'clock in the morning with bleach and a rope.

01:49:31.620 Right, because he got the rope hung around his neck, which, but bizarrely, he kept around his neck for like 45 minutes afterwards.

01:49:39.360 By the way, this rope, from what I understand, is barely a rope.

01:49:43.340 I'm not sure it would be correct to call it a rope, but you're exactly right.

01:49:47.960 I mean, and of course, to me, it's obviously it's 2 a.m.

01:49:51.840 It's dark.

01:49:52.820 He's not a real celebrity.

01:49:55.140 I would not have recognized him.

01:49:57.240 And by the way, how many Trump supporters are big Empire fans?

01:50:01.860 I mean, the whole thing is absurd on its face, and there's no evidence to back it up.

01:50:07.480 And the first time that I – well, it wasn't the first time, but the first time I thought this thing might fall apart was when the police,

01:50:14.200 who do not have any incentive to debunk this because, you know, of the political correctness, especially in Chicago,

01:50:21.520 when they started to leak things, like, for instance, we've gone through hundreds of hours of surveillance tape,

01:50:27.600 which all of this area has video cameras everywhere, and they couldn't find anything to support the story.

01:50:33.960 And I'm like, wait a minute, hold on.

01:50:35.800 There's no way that the police would be even leaking that on background unless there was some real strong suspicions about what happened.

01:50:43.320 And then I – and I have to say, even though I believe I'm right in the big picture here,

01:50:47.780 I was wrong in interpreting one piece of evidence that I think the police may have schnookered Smollett on.

01:50:55.960 At least that's my current interpretation.

01:50:57.600 And that is they released a few days after this a photograph of two, quote-unquote, persons of interest.

01:51:05.040 And when – this got a lot of hype because, oh, they found the persons of interest.

01:51:08.520 This story is real.

01:51:09.500 And, of course, then they released this photo, and it's basically two blobs who are not even close to where this thing happened.

01:51:17.140 And supposedly they were walking away from it before it even occurred.

01:51:20.760 And I thought that was laughable.

01:51:22.660 I thought there's no way these two people have anything to do with this.

01:51:25.720 Well, I now believe from my media sources – and it's important to point out –

01:51:30.040 part of the reason I got involved in this, Glenn, is because the media in Chicago doesn't believe the story.

01:51:36.200 The police don't believe the story.

01:51:37.760 But there's censorship going on because no one wants to be the first to debunk it because they will be vulnerable to attack.

01:51:45.900 And so they've been basically saying to me, hey, Zig, here's what's really going on.

01:51:52.240 And what I now believe happened is that through using incredible modern technology, the authorities have known who these two guys were from very early on in the investigation and not telling us that.

01:52:04.220 And it was only after Smollett won on Good Morning America and actually ID'd those two people laughably as, yep, I know they're the ones that did this, that we find out.

01:52:15.600 Lo and behold, guess what?

01:52:16.960 The authorities know who they are.

01:52:18.760 They're questioning them, and they have been extras on the TV show Empire.

01:52:24.680 Bum, bum, bum.

01:52:26.600 And now we know that the Smollett story – we don't know what for sure.

01:52:30.620 I have a couple of theories that are being – and what the police, I think, are debating about, two different theories about what happened here.

01:52:36.260 But we now know that Smollett knew his attackers, and that destroys the whole story.

01:52:43.160 There's no way this was a Trump-related hate crime, and then you go from there.

01:52:47.640 Is it possible, John, that they – that, A, did these people who worked on the set of Empire have a beef with him and want to take him on?

01:52:56.160 Or is it possible that maybe the attackers wanted to make this happen, to make Trump supporters look bad, and Jussie is not actually involved in this?

01:53:06.540 Well, that's the – in my opinion and the opinion of my sources, that is the debate that's going on in the police department right now.

01:53:13.040 And that's why last night the police department put out a statement that, of course, the media latched onto.

01:53:17.980 It was, oh, see, this isn't necessarily a hoax.

01:53:20.200 No, no, no.

01:53:20.700 Read that statement carefully.

01:53:22.080 Don't read it like a kindergartner.

01:53:24.680 Read it like somebody who's lived life.

01:53:27.920 And the reality is they didn't deny that there's a major problem with Smollett's story.

01:53:34.360 Here's what it breaks down to.

01:53:36.340 Was the story a premeditated hoax, or was it a domestic dispute gone bad that got post-meditated into a hate crime?

01:53:47.860 The ABC, the local ABC reporter who's been on this from the beginning has done great work.

01:53:54.860 He reported, and that broke the story open last night, that it was a premeditated hoax, and that's what police were believing.

01:54:01.740 I have never believed that because there's certain details in this that don't make sense.

01:54:05.560 If this was premeditated hoax, it was incredibly poorly done.

01:54:09.040 And, like, who decided to do this at 2 a.m. in the middle of a polar vortex?

01:54:12.520 I mean, there's a lot of different ways you could do this, plus the details.

01:54:15.900 Not putting forward the MAGA detail right off the bat, to me, eliminates the idea this was a premeditated hoax to try to create a hate crime, because why would you withhold that from police?

01:54:26.480 So I personally believe in the domestic dispute gone bad, post-meditated, let's create a hate crime, and that may have been planted in Small Ed's head because there was this threatening letter that was sent to the show about a week beforehand, and it got – it sprung out of control.

01:54:44.240 So when you say a domestic dispute, are you saying that this is – these are two lovers of his, or one lover who got somebody else?

01:54:52.640 There is a segment of the police who have been telling their media sources from the beginning that they believe that one of the two guys that are in that photograph and are being spoken to by police right now was in a relationship with Smollett, that Smollett cheated on him, and that this was a revenge attack on him, for what I'm referring to as politely as possible, as a domestic dispute.

01:55:15.280 And that Smollett, in a panic, started to go down a different path, it spun out of control, he added the Trump thing because he's a very anti-Trump person, and he knew the media would lap that up, and of course they did, and now it's much bigger than he ever expected, now he's trapped, and now the story is falling apart because it turns out he knows his attackers.

01:55:37.940 And here's the key part. This is part of why the police are confused. I am told that those two guys are changing their story, that their story is evolving, and that that's why there is a conflict within the police department of Chicago as to whether this was premeditated hoax or postmeditated panic hate crime.

01:55:55.720 And so that's why I think we're seeing a hesitation right now as to where the police are going on this, but the bottom line is the story is not true. He was not attacked by Donald Trump supporters in a hate crime. That did not happen.

01:56:08.620 Do we know the race of these two guys?

01:56:10.340 They're Jamaicans, which, you know, of course Trump is very big in Jamaica, and I'm sure that, I mean, and of course you would never recognize a Jamaican accent either at 2 a.m. in Chicago.

01:56:24.200 No, not if they're talking to you. It's like a Chicagoan accent.

01:56:28.480 Right, exactly. So, I mean, the whole story makes perfect sense, right?

01:56:31.640 I mean, and I think the most important part of this whole thing, folks, is that this is a perfect example of how the news media, the entertainment industry, and sometimes even the authorities have become so politically correct.

01:56:44.080 They're so willing to buy into these BS stories, whether it's Brett Kavanaugh or Jim Jordan, or, you know, you remember the story that we talked about a couple years ago with the Santa who faked the boy's death.

01:56:55.120 The Air Force Academy had one of these stories last year that I called them on, turned out to be a fake hate crime.

01:57:00.420 And you and I have talked many times about the Penn State Joe Paterno-Jerry Sandusky case.

01:57:04.800 The more politically correct the story is, the more likely it is not to be true because there's no incentive for anyone to debunk it because the media is not about the truth.

01:57:15.700 It's about protecting the gig.

01:57:18.000 All right, that's the most important thing.

01:57:20.260 The truth gets lost in all this because popularity is the coin of the realm, and no one wants to do anything that's unpopular because you might get fired, especially in a case like this.

01:57:31.200 So, John, tell me what you think is going to happen.

01:57:34.780 Are you claiming that this story is absolutely not true and the police are going to come out with, it's not true?

01:57:42.520 This was not a hate crime.

01:57:44.120 This is one of these two things.

01:57:45.660 I think they had to pick a lane, and I also think there's going to be a lot of pushback politically, and so I still think this may end up going down the memory hole.

01:57:56.560 Now, the people close to this day know, and interestingly, they say Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, is going to be the one who forces this thing to get solved because he apparently, I am told, secondhand but reliably, he is pissed.

01:58:09.360 And I think that they were willing to let this go down the memory hole until he went on Good Morning America.

01:58:16.600 And then they decided, all right, let's unleash the dogs.

01:58:20.240 And I think that – so in the real world, this story is going down.

01:58:24.740 Whether or not anything happens to him, I am a cynic, so I will reserve judgment on that.

01:58:29.580 When do you expect to hear more?

01:58:32.540 Well, I mean, they have 48 hours from last night to charge the two guys that they're currently questioning.

01:58:38.580 So I think we'll know a lot more within that 48-hour time span, which is about another 36 hours or so.

01:58:44.480 So can we get you back on the air on Monday?

01:58:46.720 I'd love to hear an update.

01:58:48.060 Let's do it.

01:58:48.820 Okay.

01:58:49.380 John Ziegler, thank you so much.

01:58:50.920 Zygman Freud, Z-I-G, man, Freud, is where you can follow him.

01:58:57.040 Also, he writes for Mediite.

01:58:59.340 John Ziegler, thank you so much.

01:59:01.260 All right.

01:59:01.720 Sponsor of this half hour is X Chair.

01:59:03.520 All chairs are not the same.

01:59:05.720 There are the crappy chairs that you sit in, and you're like, oh, I love this.

01:59:09.060 Thank you very much.

01:59:09.960 It's wonderful.

01:59:10.740 Then there's the X Chair.

01:59:12.000 Now, you can spend a lot for a very uncomfortable chair.

01:59:15.980 I don't know why, but people do it.

01:59:18.420 And you can spend a lot on that, or you can spend a reasonable amount of money on an X Chair or X Chair Basic.

01:59:25.500 Now, the regular X Chair is, I mean, it's got every adjustment known to man.

01:59:31.220 But the X Basic is just as comfortable.

01:59:35.340 It's great, and it's great if you happen to be, you can lean back in it,

01:59:37.980 and if you happen to work with someone who bores you in an unending way over a 20-year period, you can just fall.

01:59:45.340 Glenn?

01:59:46.640 Oh! 0.60

01:59:47.040 Well, still, I'm sorry.

01:59:48.580 I didn't hear what you were saying.

01:59:49.760 Backfired on me there.

01:59:50.460 But it's exactly right.

01:59:51.980 It's exactly right.

01:59:53.140 It is so comfortable.

01:59:54.340 I'm not making this up.

01:59:55.840 It is as comfortable as any recliner I've ever sat in.

01:59:59.100 And you can go now get the X Chair Basic.

02:00:01.860 It is at a great price.

02:00:03.360 X Chair Basic.

02:00:33.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:40.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:43.220 Let me just end on this post-Valentine note.

02:00:47.900 You know, people have said that Kanye West was, you know, insane.

02:00:51.820 They've said it for a long, long time for many different reasons.

02:00:54.340 Lately, it was because he was pro-Trump, blah, blah, blah.

02:00:57.900 You know, and I respect his right to his opinion.

02:01:02.080 And, you know, God bless him.

02:01:04.500 I thought he was very, very brave.

02:01:06.100 However, there is a point when bravery just turns to insanity.

02:01:09.140 And that is inviting Kenny G to come and play at your house.

02:01:16.060 Yeah.

02:01:16.460 What was it, Kim's birthday or Kim Kardashian's birthday or something?

02:01:19.840 No, I thought that was for Valentine's Day.

02:01:21.060 Oh, was it just Valentine's Day?

02:01:22.000 Yeah, I thought it was Valentine's Day.

02:01:22.920 Kanye surprised me with Kenny G.

02:01:25.620 Yeah, that would be quite a surprise.

02:01:27.660 Oh, yeah.

02:01:28.200 Oh, good God.

02:01:28.920 You brought him into the house?

02:01:30.260 And I have to stand here and listen to him play that stupid horn?

02:01:33.360 How many times have you heard people say, you know, Kanye West?

02:01:35.740 I don't like him, but he's a musical genius.

02:01:37.960 No, he's not.

02:01:38.640 He's booking Kenny G.

02:01:39.360 He's booking Kenny G.

02:01:41.820 Did you know, by the way, they said Kenny G apparently was contacted 12 hours before the event

02:01:46.420 and asked to come.

02:01:47.400 Apparently available.

02:01:49.380 Apparently with 12 hours notice.

02:01:51.180 Really?

02:01:51.580 Available for that gig.

02:01:53.600 Wow.

02:01:53.620 On Valentine's Day.

02:01:55.180 You have to think it's probably the biggest day of the year for Kenny G.

02:02:00.000 I'm trying to think of who goes to a Kenny G concert, though.

02:02:04.240 I don't know.

02:02:05.360 I mean, he still has a career and everything, I guess.

02:02:08.140 But, and I will say, there's a very big possibility that the reason he showed up at that gig is because

02:02:13.180 Kanye West threw like $500,000 at him.

02:02:16.180 So, I mean, I would also show up at Kanye's and I would even attempt to play the horn.

02:02:21.400 I'll try anything you want pretty much for $500,000.

02:02:24.460 So, I understand this.

02:02:26.320 Yeah.

02:02:26.480 But that is an odd gesture from who, a guy who's supposed to be a genius rapper to book

02:02:33.440 Kenny G.

02:02:34.560 I mean, for his celebrity wife.

02:02:37.660 It's a weird world.

02:02:39.940 They may be right.

02:02:40.820 Kanye is not really black.

02:02:42.440 He's an old white woman. 1.00

02:02:43.740 I'm just saying.

02:02:48.240 All right.

02:02:48.900 Have a safe weekend.

02:02:50.040 We will see you on Monday.

02:02:52.600 Thank you for listening.

02:02:54.020 Thank you for being part of this, dare I say it, tribe.

02:02:58.600 God bless.

02:03:03.300 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
