started out as a black girl in poverty beyond most Americans understanding. And we will talk
00:00:28.140

and please review. It helps other people discover it. Okay. Today, we've got a lot to cover. We have
00:00:51.460
the government shutdown and the people who are suffering. Did you know they could get unemployment?
00:00:56.340
Apparently, some didn't. And CNN didn't even know. They told a very heartbreaking story about baby
00:01:03.340
Harper. And baby Harper is on life support. She's on a breathing tube. And it's a tragic story. But
00:01:10.700
CNN wanted to point out that dad isn't getting paid because he works for the government. And he's
00:01:16.040
very concerned that the electricity will be shut off and baby Harper won't be able to breathe.
00:01:21.440
The media and the left just love their babies. They control themselves.
00:01:24.280
No, they do. Wait till you hear the end of that story. And speaking of babies, we have more on the
00:01:29.280
abortion thing and a couple of a couple of takes one from me and also one from Bill O'Reilly who
00:01:34.960
joined us. I thought that's where you're going. We said speaking of babies. But no, yeah, Bill O'Reilly
00:01:39.800
was on with us for the whole hour reacting to everything from the week's news. Also, an update on
00:01:45.740
what happened today with Roger Stone. And will this make a difference? The answer is no. If Donald
00:01:52.860
Trump was was honest in his testimony, not going to make any difference. If he wasn't by chance,
00:02:00.520
it's starting to close around him. So we'll just have to wait for the facts. But the facts of what
00:02:06.900
happened with Roger Stone and the indictment, all on today's podcast.
00:02:17.580
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:21.580
Field of Greens, a product that is a real superfood. I mean, superfood is really ridiculous. You look
00:02:32.900
at the container and it has supplement facts. Well, if it has supplements, then it's not a
00:02:38.320
superfood, man. It means that it's a bunch of stuff ground up and then they put a bunch of other stuff
00:02:43.360
in it to make it a superfood. Brickhouse Nutrition. They've created Field of Greens and it's a real
00:02:49.580
superfood. You look at it, it just says nutrition facts. It doesn't have any supplement facts.
00:02:54.260
It's nutrition because it's an actual superfood. One scoop of Field of Greens has a full serving of
00:02:59.160

you tomorrow. I just want to read you something from Brian Stelter who, you know, is the guardian
00:03:33.220
of journalism. He's the guy who look out for, you know, he's going to, he's going to tell the truth.
00:03:38.260
He's going to make sure that nobody's pulling any funny business. Nobody's, you know, cramming an agenda
00:03:43.080
anywhere. Oh, cool. They're taking the real, the real hard look at the news and they are a dependable
00:03:49.540
news agency. And we need people like that. We sure do. Unfortunately, Brian Stelter is not one of those
00:03:56.160
people. Uh, this is from his, uh, little, uh, newsletter that he sent out last night. Stay
00:04:03.640
shocked is the headline. We're five weeks into this self-inflicted wound. The shutdown was embarrassing
00:04:10.960
on day one and even more embarrassing on day 35. Now that sounds like a neutral journalist,
00:04:17.020
doesn't it? Yeah. He's just telling us how embarrassing it was on which, which days it
00:04:21.260
was embarrassing. Exactly right. He's just reporting the facts. Um, a challenge for journalists.
00:04:28.180
Don't get numb to the pain and the political posturing. This type of story is the one that
00:04:34.960
gets bigger as time goes on. Wow. Wow. Well, there are real effects, Glenn. I know. And, uh,
00:04:43.660
I'm glad that there's a, there's people out there guarding, uh, the, the gates of journalism to make
00:04:49.660
sure that they are focusing on a story that could be harmful to president Trump. I mean, they, if you don't
00:04:55.320
remind them, they're not going to remember to look for things that are bad for the Trump presidency,
00:05:00.300
they're going to sit back all day and just report really good economic news. And you got to remind
00:05:04.760
them to keep back and keep looking, uh, towards the white house for any story that could potentially
00:05:10.680
be negative. Well, they, they finally, they, they finally put their glaze, their gaze out to the,
00:05:15.980
to the heartland of America. And they found some of the suffering, suffering people from this
00:05:21.560
shutdown. And, uh, here's one of them. Meet Harper, 15 month old Harper born prematurely needs a
00:05:30.200
breathing tube. This was reported by CNN just last night. See, here's the picture of poor little
00:05:36.280
Harper. See how cute she is. Yeah. And what does, uh, what does the, the banner underneath?
00:05:42.820
The banner says, yeah, it's pretty far away, but a Kentucky couple who, who needs a child needs a
00:05:48.260
breathing tube concerned about electricity being turned off while not getting paid.
00:05:52.760
Well, that's what happens when you, when, when the government shuts down because of, uh, Donald
00:05:57.140
Trump, uh, solely, um, then there are issues with paying bills and electricity could be turned off
00:06:03.880
and the breathing machine could be turned off. And this child could, I mean, God only knows what
00:06:07.560
could happen. Well, Donald Trump has said that he would, uh, he'd negotiate. Uh, but there is no
00:06:12.280
negotiation in this. There's no negotiation. You got to stand your ground. Of course, when somebody
00:06:17.400
wearing a MAGA hat, uh, is, uh, just standing in place and doesn't, doesn't move, uh, you know, NBC
00:06:24.060
will lecture that kid, uh, that, uh, you shouldn't stand your ground, that you should retreat. Uh, but
00:06:30.420
it's different for Nancy Pelosi and everybody else. Anyway, um, here's the story. Um, oh, it's hard to
00:06:38.060
read. Little Harper, her dad, Chris is a data processing assistant for the IRS. He's working without
00:06:45.140
pay. His wife, Allie says they're going to run out of money in another month or so. And they're
00:06:50.140
concerned about the electricity being turned off. And that is the electricity that powers
00:06:57.280
How do you people not have a heart? I mean, that's amazing. Cause especially thank, thankfully we have
00:07:06.800
the left that is here for us and cares so much about babies being alive that they can, they can
00:07:12.780
show that utter concern for this particular one. Yeah. I mean, sure. There's, you know, a few dozen
00:07:19.560
million that they haven't cared all that much about, but think about this one. Well, this one's out of
00:07:24.580
the womb for 15 months. Oh, okay. And so they care about them. They don't care about them half out
00:07:28.940
of the womb, but after they're out of the womb for 15 months, if the mom still wants to keep the
00:07:34.360
child, uh, you know, we should care about this child. I will say we should of course give the
00:07:40.760
mother the opportunity to choose whether she keeps that ventilator on because it's her choice.
00:07:47.660
Can I tell you something? If she would have known that the kid was going to be born prematurely
00:07:52.820
and then have all these medical problems and be such a hassle, she probably should have aborted
00:07:58.080
little Harper. Don't you think? Well, certainly her choice to do so glad. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't,
00:08:02.760
I wouldn't, and I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure those on the left see the drain that poor Harper
00:08:08.100
really is on the family and on society. But let me just point this out. Now this took a, this took
00:08:15.940
about a minute of research on something that, uh, not a lot of people have. Certainly CNN doesn't
00:08:21.860
have this, um, called, uh, Google it's G O O French G L E. And I think it has the accent, um,
00:08:32.420
accent I grand, uh, what do you call that thing? That, that little hash mark at the, sure. Yeah.
00:08:37.680
It's got one of those, so I don't know how to pronounce it, but I think you can find it. Well,
00:08:43.140
you just look for it. Um, cause CNN doesn't have it, but I did literally about a minute's work.
00:08:49.360
I just Googled ADA rules about power shutoffs. Uh, and I, and I, I got here protections against
00:08:58.640
power shutoffs and I printed it. Now this is all in a minute. I printed this and also the sample
00:09:04.920
letter that you would need, uh, from your doctor. So, uh, I've printed them both off. I don't know if
00:09:13.060
they still have mail service in Kentucky or if they have ever gotten that because of evil Donald
00:09:18.160
Trump. Um, but here's the thing, because of the ADA, you cannot turn off the electricity of someone
00:09:27.240
who has life dependent, uh, uh, uh, machines running in the house and all you really need to do.
00:09:36.540
And I know this is such a hassle, but all you need to do is just type up a quick letter. And I have the
00:09:42.980
example, I could send it to the family. Um, and the doctor just needs to say, Hey, uh, there's a 15
00:09:48.600
month old baby in this house named Harper, uh, doesn't matter why the family is unemployed. The
00:09:55.400
family could be, you know, running a crack house and no, there's no demand for crack right now. Uh,
00:10:02.180
and so they need to have their electricity, even though they can't pay. And it's against the law
00:10:07.460
for the power company to turn off the power. Now I know that was a lot of work for CNN to figure out,
00:10:15.020
but we did it for them. You should send them the Google thing you're talking about.
00:10:21.220
I know they should have that. Yeah, that's unfair. You have an advantage over them.
00:10:24.900
I know. I know. I have things that CNN just couldn't figure out. When I read that story last night,
00:10:29.360
I could not believe it. It is illegal to shut off power to people's houses. You can't just shut it
00:10:38.740
off. If there is someone with life-saving equipment that is run by electricity, it is illegal to shut
00:10:46.720
it off for any reason other than natural disaster or, you know, you know, a mistake or a mistake or
00:10:54.120
everything they can't control. Right. But you, it is very clear you can't do that. And that's the
00:11:00.200
ADA, right? ADA. Americans with disabilities. And you would think that CNN, because you always hear
00:11:06.000
CNN and, and liberal journalists saying, you know, well, the ADA and we need to strengthen the ADA.
00:11:11.980
Well, here it is. Here it is. It's protecting this poor little girl and the family. CNN just used
00:11:21.080
this family. Now I'm not saying that this family in Kentucky isn't struggling. I'm not saying that if
00:11:26.940
you've been, you've been furloughed or if you're working, I don't even know how that's legal.
00:11:32.120
I don't know how it's legal, but you should talk to your democratic senators because I actually do
00:11:37.340
know how it's legal. The reason why we can say you have to come back to work, but we're not going to pay
00:11:43.720
you is because the government politicians want to be able to have that vice. Because if we could just
00:11:52.100
say, okay, everybody's got to come back to work because you are an essential employee, the TSA,
00:11:59.040
IRS, whatever, you guys all have to come back to work and we have to pay you because nowhere it's
00:12:06.580
slavery to do others. The only reason why they have that is so the politicians, when they shut down
00:12:14.500
the government and they want that squeeze, they can say, oh, look at these poor people. They're not
00:12:21.500
getting paid and they are, they're working anyway without pay. This is a game. And every single person
00:12:29.040
that's been furloughed, I'm sorry, but the person to blame are your Congress people, because Congress
00:12:36.480
is the one that can change that law. They choose not to. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:12:47.320
All right. Bill O'Reilly is here from BillOReilly.com. Welcome, Bill.
00:13:03.940
Very warm. Welcome, gentlemen. Thank you very much. My day is off to a great start.
00:13:09.080
Boy, it is. I tell you, we were relieved. Bill, I'm so excited to hear your take on all of the
00:13:17.340
things that have happened because this has been a big week. But let's start with the latest breaking
00:13:22.220
news of Roger Stone. Can you fill me in on what's happening with Roger Stone? Maybe. But first, I'm
00:13:30.800
just going to concentrate on the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. I'm going to go into the
00:13:36.700
enlightenment area now. All right. Okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. So I don't know anything about
00:13:40.760
Roger Stone. Never met him. Never talked to him. Looks like kind of a crazy guy to me. Yeah. He's got a
00:13:48.160
big tattoo all over his back. Of Nixon. He's seven years old. I don't know what that is. Yeah. There should
00:13:53.760
be a limit, by the way, in tattoo parlors. If you're over 28, you can't get one. Constitutional amendment
00:14:02.400
pill. Is that how you go about that? I was really hoping for, I was, I was hoping for a little more
00:14:07.540
enlightenment. Yeah. I'm going to give you something in enlightenment. All right. Okay. Okay. So
00:14:12.200
Mueller, when he started investigating this Russian collusion allegation, he basically have a chart,
00:14:22.420
and I know this to be true, and there's names on the chart. It's a flow chart that says Trump campaign,
00:14:30.460
and there's a, you know, maybe 30 names, maybe 40 on the chart. And he looked into all of them.
00:14:40.000
He looked at all of these people that were working directly with Donald Trump in some capacity. So
00:14:46.600
that's where you start. So Roger Stone was a gadfly. Somebody who was around Trump, wanted to curry
00:14:54.400
favor with Trump, advised him on certain things. No, he knew Trump for a long time.
00:15:02.240
And he's, he's, he is the Nixon original dirty trickster. I mean, yeah, he's, this is a guy who
00:15:08.040
has a really bad past. A political consultant. Right. There's tons of these people. And then
00:15:15.100
they're hired by groups or PACs or whatever, and they go get this one, find dirt on that one,
00:15:21.320
do whatever you want. But in the, in the initial, in the initial, uh, thrust of the, of the Trump
00:15:30.100
campaign, everybody wanted to curry favor with Donald Trump. Everybody in his organization,
00:15:36.120
uh, who wanted to work for him, get on a campaign, they all wanted his attention. That's very important
00:15:43.040
for everybody to understand. Everybody wanted Trump's attention. Not easy to get because his
00:15:47.080
attention spans about 20 seconds. You got to bring something pretty big to get Donald Trump's
00:15:52.980
attention. So Stone had some kind of a relationship with the WikiLeaks crew. Remember WikiLeaks? Oh,
00:16:02.700
yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So the WikiLeaks people hacked in and found out bad stuff about Hillary
00:16:08.860
Clinton and her campaign. Stone was the middle man there talking to WikiLeaks and they give him
00:16:15.720
gossip. And then he'd run back to the Trump campaign and tell him the gossip. Oh, this is
00:16:22.100
what WikiLeaks hacked in. This is what they're going to have. This is what we're going to see.
00:16:25.680
That's what Stone did. That's who he is. All right. He's the middleman gossip guy.
00:16:31.800
So when the investigation came, uh, when Mueller launched, they brought Stone in and said,
00:16:39.660
were you the middleman gossip guy? So no, that's why he's indicted. So let me, uh, let me go here
00:16:47.460
and let me change it slightly onto the media. Now, uh, the media have happened to be there at Roger
00:16:53.900
Stone's house. It was, it was good. Yeah. I love this walking down the street in Florida and the FBI
00:17:01.620
go, Hey, we're going to survive this thing. Come on. Yeah. Uh, the CNN anchor actually said,
00:17:08.380
good job following your gut and being there on this one, following their gut. They happen to be
00:17:13.800
there with a camera crew. It was the same thing like flake in the elevator at the Senate when the
00:17:18.680
CNN crew was right behind the fanatical, uh, uh, far left person who was yelling at flake. She just
00:17:26.220
tapping the beat. So Mueller, somebody in Mueller's, uh, crew, probably in the FBI,
00:17:32.680
you know, is speculation. This is an enlightenment now. Now I'm into speculation. Now let me go to
00:17:38.400
FBI gave somebody a call and said, they're going to be here. So show up. Let me go now to, uh,
00:17:46.160
the hat and the smirk. All right. So now we're going over to the Kentucky kids. We're finished with
00:17:52.200
Roger Stone. Yes. Is that okay, Bill? Did you have anything else you wanted to add to that? No.
00:17:56.340
All right. Good, good, good. All right. Go ahead. Go ahead. All right. What do you want me to,
00:18:01.320
what, what question do you want on the Kentucky kids? You want me to, well, no, here's, here's the,
00:18:06.440
here's the thing. First of all, is this a story that is beyond the hat? If that kid wasn't wearing
00:18:13.300
the hat, would we even know this story? No, no, it's all about Trump. Everything's about Trump.
00:18:22.120
Everything. All right. So the kid and his friends are at the pro-life rally because a lot of Catholic
00:18:30.400
school kids go every year. All right. So it was a mistake for the kid to wear the hat, by the way,
00:18:37.260
if I had been the, and I, as you guys know, I'm a former high school teacher, if I had been the
00:18:42.080
advisor on that trip, I would have said no political paraphernalia because we're here
00:18:47.480
for a moral reason and we want everyone of every party. Don't know if he wore it to the march. I mean,
00:18:55.680
and it, they, it looked like a new hat. And you know, you're coming home with a souvenir. I don't
00:19:01.660
know if he brought the hat or just got the hat. I don't think I would have worn it in the context of
00:19:05.040
being at the pro-life demonstration. If I were the advisor, I would have advised against that.
00:19:11.680
But that was, that way he was now getting ready to get on the bus. So do you have a right to wear a
00:19:17.860
hat and not be accused of crimes? It has a constitutional right to wear it. Although the
00:19:21.800
advisor being the school, attached to the school could have said, don't wear it. And the kid could
00:19:27.200
not have overridden that. But as an American says, he has a right to write whatever he wants. I'm
00:19:31.640
talking about what's appropriate. All right. And why I would have, as an advisor said, no,
00:19:38.580
no political stuff. We're just here as Catholics and we're here as Christians in a right to life
00:19:44.260
context. We're not doing politics today. All right. All right. So the question though,
00:19:48.600
is would the press have latched on this and viciously attacked these kids? Had they worn
00:19:55.540
a Joe Biden for president hat? And the answer is absolutely not. Bill, if you have, and I've been
00:20:03.900
trying to find an example of this and we saw it a bit of it. Yeah. And you, I think you have a good,
00:20:10.040
pretty good perspective on it, but let's just advance it a little bit further. Okay. And because
00:20:15.360
everybody knows what happened, you can make up your own mind as a listener. I mean, we saw the video,
00:20:20.700
we know that the kids were not at fault. We know the media viciously attacked the kids, uh, and the
00:20:26.120
media may be, Oh, well, we're sorry, but they're not really sorry. No, they're not at all. The NBC
00:20:31.860
interviews show they don't care at all. Sorry. I mean, uh, you know, it's like Savannah Guthrie,
00:20:36.600
um, who's not, you know, she's not political fanatic. She takes orders. All right. And her orders
00:20:42.060
were, um, don't be mean, but be skeptical. Okay. So, and don't be skeptical with Nathan Phillips.
00:20:49.920
Yeah. The story for the media. And if you read my column, brand new column on billoreilly.com,
00:20:56.420
the story that the media now is advancing is that, yeah, maybe this wasn't the kid's fault,
00:21:04.080
but anybody, anyone who wears a Trump hat is triggering. There you go. There's the word
00:21:14.080
triggering bad feeling in America. So you have a Trump hat or socks or bumper sticker. You are a
00:21:23.680
trigger for negativity in America. That is the story. And they're trying, the media is basically
00:21:33.440
trying to set up a scenario where if you don't vote for the Democrat, for president, no matter who it
00:21:43.220
is, that you're an evil, bad person. Well, if you're wearing a Trump hat, you're wearing a Trump
00:21:50.540
t-shirt, you're, you've got a Trump 2020 sticker on your car. You are a bad person. So yeah. So they are,
00:21:58.780
what they're doing is if you have a Trump sign, Trump 2020 sign in your front yard,
00:22:04.740
you can be attacked because you're obviously a bad person who's just trying to trigger people in
00:22:11.360
the neighborhood. That's right. And, and these kids, yeah, we weren't fair. We, the media weren't
00:22:16.300
fair, but they deserved what they got because they had the hat on. So if everybody understands that,
00:22:23.560
if all American voters understand the hatred, that is going to be the theme of the next presidential
00:22:30.220
race. It's all about hate, not about the economy anymore. Not about China, not about Putin. It's
00:22:37.660
about hate. All right. I'm going to pick it up with Bill O'Reilly, where we left off here and also take
00:22:43.180
it to, uh, New York, um, abortion, uh, and the school shooting that happened someplace, school
00:22:51.600
shooting this last week, didn't get any coverage whatsoever. Bill O'Reilly, let's, let's continue
00:22:59.740
down this road just a little bit. All right. Uh, we filed for a freedom of information act on
00:23:06.160
Nathan Phillips, uh, and his war record. Um, do you know what he did? Well, he's a Marine,
00:23:13.960
right? Yeah. Well, yeah, he was in the Marines. Um, but, uh, he was an infantryman for two days
00:23:21.020
and then they transferred him and he became a refrigerator, uh, repairman. He was in the Marines,
00:23:28.280
in the Marines. He spent his time as a refrigerator mechanic. So, yeah. And then he went AWOL twice.
00:23:40.180
Uh, his records show that, uh, uh, the, um, uh, his trial records were not included with our freedom
00:23:50.020
of information act, uh, uh, requests. So I think we have to request for those as well. I'm not sure if we
00:23:56.860
can get those, but he went AWOL two times. He was, he had frostbite. Well, I, I'm not sure it is
00:24:05.620
cold in the refrigerator, especially if you're in Nebraska, uh, during, during the years after the
00:24:12.180
Vietnam war. They responded to you pretty quickly with that, uh, for you a question. You got that
00:24:17.300
stuff fast. Yeah, I know. I was, I was shocked. I didn't expect it came in yesterday. Yeah. They're
00:24:22.740
terrified of you. Um, look, uh, you know, I don't know who this guy is with the drum. Um, I don't
00:24:29.680
care who he is. Doesn't matter to me who he is. He's out there. He's at a pro life demonstration
00:24:36.520
with a drum banging it. Okay. I mean, it's not the kind of guy you want to have dinner with. Yeah,
00:24:41.540
no, he was at a, he was actually at a native Americans, no border, um, rally, uh, then he
00:24:47.840
segwayed over to the pro life rally. Yeah. Then no, then he just walked over to the boys
00:24:51.800
who were getting onto a bus after the poor, uh, the, uh, pro life rally. I mean, the guy
00:24:57.540
is an anti-border guy, which is why he went to the kid with the red hat. He was trying to
00:25:03.380
prove a point, no borders. Okay. So, you know, there are nuts everywhere. And, um, when I see
00:25:13.540
the press basically, I think it was a Washington post, uh, say that it was a Vietnam vet. My
00:25:21.560
first feeling was, I don't believe the Washington post, not because the guy couldn't have been
00:25:29.500
a Vietnam vet. It certainly could have. He's at that age, but it's the Washington post. They
00:25:35.340
don't check anything. They're not going to check anything. It's going to go. They had a
00:25:39.820
that. Bang. That puts the narrative. He's in a higher plane. So we use it. And then
00:25:44.860
it went, well, we're sorry. Well, how many times are you going to be sorry over there?
00:25:48.940
You know, you got that little Pinocchio thing that you do on everybody else. You don't want
00:25:53.500
you to do it on yourself. How many retractions are we going to get from the far left press?
00:25:58.800
So here's the single day we get them now, but here's what concerns me. Um, you had the,
00:26:03.100
you had NBC Washington post CBS. You had, you had all of the usual suspects and at first they
00:26:10.200
reported it. Okay. Mistake. Then new information comes out. Uh, and they say, oops, sorry, but they
00:26:17.340
don't retract all of it. They just say, Hey, there's a new, uh, new facts emerge. Well, that's not an
00:26:24.860
apology. New facts emerge. Then they stick with this. They stick with the story and it is a provable
00:26:33.000
fact on with videotape. And here's, here's what I want to ask you, Bill. The press has crossed the
00:26:40.600
Rubicon. They have crossed a line now from where you could say, well, I don't know. You could look
00:26:47.100
at it that way. You could, if I'm going to be really, really generous, you could give them the
00:26:51.440
benefit of the doubt. There is no, there is no other story other than they knowingly are lying.
00:26:59.280
If this is what they're doing today with videotape, what are they not willing to do?
00:27:07.420
Number one, Julius Caesar would have executed everybody in the press by this point. So if we
00:27:12.700
were in the Rubicon, that would have, you know, they would have all been dead. Number two, this is
00:27:17.880
actually a good thing for honest Americans. So this whole thing is good for the country. This
00:27:26.000
Covington high school, um, snafu, because now even the dimmest of us cannot defend the national
00:27:39.960
media any longer. You cannot walk out of your house and go, Oh, they're fair. Oh, I believe the
00:27:46.340
New York times or Washington, but they're fair. They're giving me the news that I need to make a
00:27:50.740
responsible decision. You can't do that. Nobody can do that. You'll be laughed at. You'll be,
00:27:56.180
I mean, even the far left kooks will laugh at you. Oh my, you know, they're in our pocket.
00:28:01.060
We have them. So it's, you know, this brought it over. Buzzfeed just set this up. All right. Buzzfeed
00:28:10.360
set it up because people paid attention to the kids. Nobody pays attention to Buzzfeed. And by the
00:28:17.740
way back in, Stu, did you know that NBC invested $200 million into Buzzfeed? Did you know that?
00:28:26.400
No, I did not know that. They're the biggest backer. Comcast, the biggest backer of Buzzfeed.
00:28:32.340
We're back with Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Um, and Bill, you're a New Yorker. You're a, uh, you're a Catholic.
00:28:39.120
Um, and I, I don't think you're a Cuomo supporter, supporter. Um, but, uh, he's, uh, Cuomo has gone
00:28:48.620
off the deep end with this new abortion law and the left is lying about it saying that it doesn't
00:28:56.880
include any reason whatsoever up until birth, which it absolutely does. Uh, it's infanticide and, uh,
00:29:06.660
anybody honest, uh, would know it. Um, I've known a Cuomo family, oh, uh, 40 years, um, decent
00:29:17.040
relationship with Andrew Cuomo. So I'm going to tell you a story I've never told publicly,
00:29:21.940
but now I can tell it because of, um, the developments. So about seven years ago, uh, Cardinal
00:29:28.000
Dolan came to me. He's the, uh, head of the New York archdiocese and said, uh, they got this
00:29:34.200
pending bill, uh, about abortion on demand at any time in Albany. Um, can you talk to,
00:29:40.860
uh, Governor Cuomo about it? Uh, maybe it was five years ago. Um, I was in Los Angeles. So,
00:29:47.780
um, you know, I said, your eminence, I'll, I'll do what I can. Um, but, um, you know, I've got to
00:29:55.720
keep it in a professional way. I've got to say to him, look, here's the, uh, here's the situation.
00:30:02.560
And this is why the Cardinal is concerned. And I have to have your permission to do that.
00:30:07.340
I can't do it as a private citizen, even though I I'm against it. He doesn't care what I think.
00:30:12.580
Um, so anyway, I did, I put in a call to the governor and he did get back to me very promptly.
00:30:17.660
And we had a very nice discussion for about 45 minutes about the bill. And at the end of the
00:30:24.440
discussion, he said, well, let me think about it. I'm not going to do anything on it now, which he did,
00:30:28.520
which he did. Now his argument for the bill was not that he believed that he didn't. He said he
00:30:34.600
didn't believe in it, that he was a good Catholic and, uh, all of that. And, but, you know, his job
00:30:41.240
was not to, uh, uh, impose his religion on anyone. And the liberals in New York wanted it, you know,
00:30:47.260
the usual, but, but he did, he did table it, um, for a while and never pushed it, never really got
00:30:54.020
behind. But once the Democrats got both chambers of the New York legislature, um, the, uh, far left
00:31:01.520
came to him and said, you're going to do this or, um, we're going to attack you. And of course, you
00:31:07.160
know, Cuomo said, okay, I'm going to do it. And that's what happened. All right. So we have my beef
00:31:12.000
on it is, uh, Cardinal Dolan. I mean, Cardinal Dolan should basically be out there in front of St.
00:31:19.220
Patrick's Cathedral saying, look, this is infanticide. Um, you have to have some standards
00:31:26.560
on abortion. You just can't say, I'm going to give birth in a week. And I, and I'm panicking
00:31:33.340
because my boyfriend left or my husband left, and I don't want the baby. So the baby's going to be
00:31:38.180
terminated. That just can't happen in a civilized society. And I think all of your listeners would
00:31:44.140
agree with that, but Dolan doesn't do that. And, and unless you bring moral power to these arguments,
00:31:52.160
you're going to lose it, particularly in States like California and New York.
00:31:56.880
So, um, story that I've never shared, um, Cuomo called my office about five years ago and wanted
00:32:06.000
to meet with me privately. Um, and, uh, the word was that he just wanted to show that, you know,
00:32:14.300
we had, uh, a lot of things that we had in common and I thought it was very weird. And I knew it was
00:32:21.320
because he was wanting to run for president and I never took the meeting. Um, however, uh, that gave me,
00:32:29.400
uh, reason to believe that one of the reasons why he was doing this now was because maybe he wanted to
00:32:35.360
run for president in 2020, but I sense, uh, have had another thought. And I, this came to me, uh,
00:32:41.860
yesterday, Bill, I read a story right after the election, you know, when everybody was like, wow,
00:32:46.520
how did Trump win? And one person said, which I thought was accurate that Trump won because he
00:32:52.020
could capitalize on the fear of the Supreme court and conservatives always respond to that. And in,
00:32:58.960
in, in this article, it said it was written by a lefty and it said, uh, that's something that the
00:33:05.840
left doesn't do the right response to that, but the left doesn't with Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
00:33:13.180
uh, in very poor health. We all know that somehow or another, I mean, she's going to retire or she
00:33:19.120
will, you know, pass away here in the next five years. Uh, and there will be a very important slot
00:33:24.820
open on the Supreme court. I think this has been passed in its most radical form to activate the
00:33:31.680
most radical of the left, uh, to signal to them that we're your people that will get it done.
00:33:37.760
And also to get a court case coming up, bubbling up so they can make this about Kavanaugh and who else,
00:33:46.760
what other radical white man will drag you back into the cave to overturn this historic women's rights
00:33:54.100
legislation? What are your thoughts? I don't buy that because that bill was there for so long
00:34:01.120
and it just was politically expedient now for Cuomo to do it. He does want to run for president,
00:34:09.240
by the way, Cuomo does want to be president. Yes. All right. But he he's, he's got headwinds
00:34:15.540
in a form of Joe Biden. He can't beat Biden on the moderate track. Uh, yesterday, Biden came out
00:34:21.780
and said, he likes Republicans in Michigan. That's the clear signal. Look, I'm not a loon
00:34:26.560
like the rest of my party is. All right. So Cuomo knows he can't beat Biden. If Biden were to say,
00:34:33.500
I'm not going to run a month from now, I think Cuomo may get in anyway. Um, you have basically
00:34:41.400
essentially a split in the democratic party, um, between the Democrats who know that the Ocasio
00:34:49.740
Cortez is and, and, and these people are going to ruin the party because Americans are not going
00:34:55.260
to vote for socialism. Never. Even though the press promotes these people all day long. And it looks
00:35:01.080
like they're mainstream. Now they're really not, they're really out there. Okay. And most Americans
00:35:06.980
aren't going to buy into the government taking your stuff, which is what it comes down to. And the final
00:35:12.720
thing about this thing is that, you know, we live in a country that doesn't really, as I've said many
00:35:18.920
times, I don't want to be boring about it, pursue the truth anymore. And, and, you know, abortion is
00:35:26.000
the law of the land. It's not going to change. Roe v. Wade is not going to be overturned, but the
00:35:31.340
states, the individual states have a, have a right under the constitution to regulate how a life ending
00:35:40.660
procedure is executed, put forth. The states have the absolute right to do that. And that's what the
00:35:51.920
Democrats don't want. They want the federal government to have a blanket and say, you can
00:35:56.980
have abortion for any reason at any time. And that's what Hillary Clinton, that was a big mistake
00:36:01.380
that she made. All right. Um, and that's it. All right. So it's, it's, you know, is that really
00:36:08.460
the kind of society you want? Even, even, even if, even the Western European nations are better
00:36:13.400
as secular and liberal as you get, they don't have that. Is that what you want? Is this what we want
00:36:19.080
here? That's how it has to be framed. It can't be framed as a women's rights thing. This is what they
00:36:24.900
do all day long. And by the way, when I said in, in December, you may remember this, that, uh,
00:36:30.860
Ginsburg, I don't believe that she's ever going to sit in the court again. Yeah. That's how ill she
00:36:35.960
is. Yes. I know. You saw how I was attacked. Yeah. I was attacked. But Megan McCain on the view,
00:36:43.000
oh, you're unchristian calling me unchristian for what reporting the truth. Bill O'Reilly.
00:36:48.960
It is a very, very intense issue in a very intense time in this country.
00:36:52.980
Let me ask, uh, one last question, this about the shutdown. If you, if you listen to the press
00:36:58.300
and if you read the polls, the president is really hurting badly from this, this shutdown.
00:37:04.560
Now there's no state of the union next week. I don't know why he gave on that. I don't know
00:37:09.440
why he just didn't take up Ted Cruz's offer to come to the Senate, uh, or just go do something
00:37:15.000
himself on that night. Um, how is this, how's this looking for the president? How is he weathering
00:37:22.160
this? As soon as that happened, I was surprised. So I called my contacts who have, uh, uh, very,
00:37:27.980
very close to Donald Trump. Okay. So they say to me, um, we believe that in the long run,
00:37:37.660
Nancy Pelosi refusing to allow the president to give this address is going to hurt the democratic
00:37:43.340
party. That's the conclusion. The white house has come to short run. Trump lost. No doubt about it.
00:37:51.220
Long run. People are going to remember what a bad person. Nancy Pelosi is. They couldn't do a, uh,
00:37:58.800
a venue outside the Capitol, excuse me, because the networks wouldn't cover it.
00:38:03.840
Wouldn't get any coverage at all. And even after he gave the address, they gave a rally in,
00:38:08.700
in Texas or Oklahoma, networks wouldn't cover rally either. Okay. We've got nothing. He could
00:38:15.280
have done it as I suggested on the steps of the Capitol. Yes. Okay. Yes. As Abraham Lincoln,
00:38:21.500
us grant it. Yes. Okay. And he could say, you know, a little cold out here, a little cold. I'd
00:38:27.560
rather be inside because I should be inside, but we have a fascist house of representative leader.
00:38:36.440
Uh, and so I'm here, uh, but, um, the state of the union and then he goes and gives a speech.
00:38:42.700
Yeah. I, I, I, I agree with you. And I mean, I'm, I'm so close to, uh, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm,
00:38:50.800
uh, I'm amazed at how close in some ways Donald Trump is to the tactics just updated for today's,
00:38:59.700
uh, world of, uh, Ronald Reagan. And in this, I could hear him saying, Ms. Pelosi, build this wall.
00:39:09.660
I mean, it is, it's crazy. And I'm sure he'll use that line, um, somewhere, somewhere down, but they,
00:39:16.460
the government shut down. Everybody wants it over. All right. Trump wants it over. Everybody wants
00:39:21.420
it over. So I suspect in the next few days, they'll come to some kind of thing where the
00:39:26.440
government will be opened up that that'll probably happen, but the war and it is that, um, goes on.
00:39:34.500
And, um, you know, I'm sitting here and I'm saying, you know, the, the casualties of this war,
00:39:40.080
the American people, that's who's getting hurt by this unbelievable hatred that is being fostered by
00:39:48.820
the, uh, by the press. I want to say again, I explain why the American media has fallen apart
00:39:55.100
in a new column on billoreilly.com. Um, just a quick headline, 1983, 50 corporations controlled
00:40:02.340
90% of the national press. 2019, six conglomerates, six control 90% of the press. And believe me,
00:40:13.340
they're organized and they hate Trump. And one more thing, killing the SS number nine on the New
00:40:20.900
York times list after four months in the marketplace this coming Sunday.
00:40:24.220
What do we need to do to get it back up there? Bill, we need to get it up to two or three.
00:40:28.140
Yeah. I mean, um, it's just awareness. It's situational awareness. The book has got great
00:40:33.160
word of mouth. Um, Glenn Beck, you know, one of my big promotions is Glenn Beck actually read this book.
00:40:38.800
No, it's, it's a great, what? No, I've, I've got to be great.
00:40:42.960
He can read. I've read some of your books and most of your books actually. And, uh, you know,
00:40:48.020
with Patton, I have the toe tag so I can prove that you're wrong on that one. But on this one,
00:40:51.960
uh, it's, it's truly remarkable. Uh, it's a great read. It's one of those things you just won't put
00:40:57.560
down. If you haven't read it, killing, uh, the SS by Bill O'Reilly, it is available now and I'd love
00:41:02.600
to see it bump back up. Bill, thank you so much. God bless. Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com.
00:41:10.420
Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com. The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:40.220
sent a camera crew down to Florida to stake out Roger Stone's house on the day they came to arrest
00:41:48.540
him. But the reporter on CNN, the anchor was, was, was clear when he said, boy, good job following
00:41:58.380
your gut on that one. That was hilarious. I was listening to that today and, and, you know, look,
00:42:03.620
the obvious thing that happened here, probably someone in the FBI tipped off CNN or the local
00:42:09.700
reporter that was a, that was working with CNN to go down there and go out in front of Roger Stone's
00:42:14.620
house at five in the morning. You don't just hang out in front of Roger Stone's house at five in
00:42:17.980
the morning for no reason. Well, okay. For no reason. Okay. There you go. I want to add that
00:42:22.900
right. Okay. Good. I'm sure there's a lot of people there have been people that hung out in
00:42:27.200
front of Roger Stone's house at 5am, but they all had a reason. They all had a reason. We probably
00:42:33.100
shouldn't get into some of those reasons, but yes, the anchor was like, by the way, I just want to
00:42:37.120
congratulate you on your instincts, your reporter instincts. Of course he was tipped off. And I mean,
00:42:43.400
that's kind of, I don't know, Stu, I've got a nose for news. I just thought this was a good day,
00:42:49.180
a good random Friday to get up at 3am, hang out at Roger Stone's house in the front yard
00:42:55.200
with a camera. Did you hear his excuse though? His excuse was, I just happened to notice a little
00:43:01.020
bit of extra, you know, activity going on at the justice department that day. So obviously that
00:43:06.160
means Roger Stone. You extra clerks walked in. Oh, Roger Stone instantly. Boom. Boom. That's
00:43:13.260
incredible. So ridiculous. So anyway, so anyway, so what does this mean? Now we've
00:43:19.160
had Jason, who is our head researcher, head writer for the program. He went over the indictment
00:43:25.240
that came up after we went on the air. So I'm always the guy reading the indictment. I know.
00:43:29.760
It's like the longer it is. I pay you to read. So I don't have to, I get the executive brief
00:43:36.200
and I love it. Okay. So tell me what this thing said. All right. So if you've read this or seen
00:43:41.400
this, I'm going to save you a whole lot of heartache right now because these things read
00:43:45.840
like stereo instructions, straight up stereo instructions, you know, person a to slot two
00:43:51.460
to, and nothing makes any sense. Right. The biggest people that they're calling out here,
00:43:55.800
they're saying organization one, um, which is pretty obvious. That's WikiLeaks. Um, they're
00:44:01.240
involved in two other people are involved with this Roger Stone indictment. They're what they're
00:44:04.840
calling person one and person two. Now they have to say this because you can't name us individuals
00:44:10.340
or entities or anything like that. You have to use these code words. So person one is,
00:44:15.680
um, Jerome Corsi. How do you know that? Um, so that that's already been verified in other
00:44:20.700
reports before that. This is the person that Roger Stone has actually said, look, this is
00:44:24.180
my source. Okay. They just can't say it in the official documents. And there have been like
00:44:27.580
full quotes reported in previous, uh, uh, news, uh, sources that are included in this indictment,
00:44:36.080
like the exact quotes. So in the, in the original reporting, it has the names with it. And then
00:44:40.760
the exact same quote with person one or two is in the indictment. So, so the subject really
00:44:45.420
obvious. Yeah. It's, it's kind of unnecessary, but they have to legally. Um, person two is
00:44:50.520
Randy Credico, which, uh, also like what you just said has always already been verified in
00:44:55.740
other reporting. Um, Randy Credico is a, um, he's a radio comedian host out of New York.
00:45:02.520
Like, um, his like the, see, I had the same reaction cause I was like, how does this guy
00:45:07.000
have access to Julian Assange? Well, the way they're kind of laying it all out is he knows
00:45:12.340
the lawyer for Julian Assange and he was the one that he, so Credico is actually the main
00:45:18.740
guy. So Corsi is, even though he's person one, seems like kind of like back fiddle really.
00:45:23.260
Okay. So Credico is the main guy. So, um, the actual indictment is for, uh, perjury for,
00:45:30.320
for lying, uh, to Congress and for, uh, intimidating a witness, which is Credico.
00:45:36.660
Okay. So stop. So what, tell me where I have this wrong. What, what happened was Roger Stone
00:45:43.900
was using, um, uh, back channels to communicate with WikiLeaks, um, and, and not necessarily
00:45:53.180
coordinating with them, but they were saying, Hey, we've got this on Hillary Clinton. We're going
00:45:58.160
to dump this on the DNC. We have this, that's going to happen. And they would tell one of these
00:46:03.960
guys. And one of these guys would tell Roger Stone. Now, if Roger Stone didn't know that that
00:46:10.100
was a Russian, uh, group, it's just getting, uh, Intel, uh, on, uh, another candidate, correct?
00:46:21.040
Okay. So, so it's, there's nothing illegal about that. Um, it is illegal if they knew that
00:46:26.160
it was a Russian source, but I think you could make the case, bad case, but I think you could
00:46:31.060
make the case, um, and win in a court of law that you didn't necessarily know that was Russian.
00:46:36.340
You didn't know that that was a foreign entity that was doing this.
00:46:39.780
It's not to, isn't to be against the law though. It doesn't just have to be Russia.
00:46:42.940
It has to be a foreign entity. Everyone knows WikiLeaks is a foreign entity. I mean, it's going to be
00:46:47.660
hard to say that he didn't, I mean, look, they wanted to do it. Yeah. Again, we've seen this several
00:46:52.300
times in this, in this storyline where they wanted to do things that could have theoretically been
00:46:56.340
illegal if they had accomplished them, but didn't necessarily accomplish them. So, but that even
00:47:01.060
this is not why he's in trouble in my understanding. What he's in trouble for is he went to, uh,
00:47:07.160
Congress and testified under oath and then lied to the FBI under, uh, under oath that he had no
00:47:14.320
contacts with these guys and he was not talking to WikiLeaks. He was not talking to, uh, Jerome Corsi and
00:47:21.860
he wasn't talking to this DJ. And so he had no information on that. Well, they've turned Corsi,
00:47:29.480
right? Corsi was, I believe he did, uh, he did participate and assist the investigation in some
00:47:35.960
way. Right. And so Corsi said, yes, I had contact with WikiLeaks and I had contact with Roger Stone.
00:47:42.920
Now, what is the intimidation of the DJ? So he's, so, uh, it's, and it's so blatant. Like it's when you,
00:47:49.800
when you read through it, Roger Stone definitely communicated with these people. It got so like
00:47:54.820
blatant. Like, he's like, when is it dropping? Like tell them, like ask your person in London,
00:47:58.840
which is Assange exactly when these things are dropping. And at one point he actually says,
00:48:03.140
there's going to be a dump every week, you know, following the main, I mean, so they knew he's
00:48:07.660
caught red-handed. The intimidation was after the fact when they're starting to get in trouble
00:48:11.720
and Stone is telling Credico, do not talk to, you know, the FBI, do not testify. He's like,
00:48:17.320
you're stupid if you testify. You know, if you testify, my lawyers are coming after you.
00:48:22.160
Like that was one of the intimate, it goes so far as he actually says, I will come and get your dog
00:48:26.760
if you testify. I mean, it's so blatant. Like, so this is not unusual for Roger Stone. Roger,
00:48:34.900
this is why when Donald Trump, you know, had the advisor of Roger Stone, we immediately said,
00:48:40.360
stop, stop. Roger Stone is not a good guy. He's a Nixon guy. Yeah. They separated early in the
00:48:47.820
campaign, if you remember right, but they were still working together in a distant sort of way.
00:48:52.000
Yes. And Roger Stone is a known, complete liar. The guy says stuff all the time, in my opinion,
00:48:59.460
that are complete lies. It's, you cannot trust a word this man says. And you know what his defense
00:49:04.840
is going to be on this whole situation. I am a liar. And you can't trust a word that I say.
00:49:10.500
He's gone on television and said, look, I'm a hype man. That's his way of saying, I say things all the
00:49:15.460
time that I know aren't true. So he's going to say, I think claim, look, I knew these things were
00:49:20.060
coming and I was trying to look more important to the Trump administration. I was trying to say,
00:49:24.100
I'm the man. I've got all this stuff from WikiLeaks. I'm awesome. You should listen to me.
00:49:27.340
In reality, he had very little, at least that's going to be, I think his defense.
00:49:31.820
Well, I don't see how he has a defense at all because he's caught lying to Congress.
00:49:36.660
Yeah. It's like, you can't get out of that. Intimidating the witness, you cannot get out.
00:49:40.740
He's going to prison. I don't see there's any way out of this.
00:49:43.540
It's amazing he hasn't been in prison this whole time.
00:49:45.540
No, it is. He's been on the verge of prison for 40 years.
00:49:48.320
Oh, yeah. Nixon. His tattoo on his back is Nixon. He's the original dirty trickster under Nixon.
00:49:57.760
He is unrepentant for anything that they ever did. He is the worst of the worst in politics,
00:50:06.640
and he pretty much admits it. Okay. So what does this mean for the president? He's probably going
00:50:14.820
to jail. Now, what does this mean other than Donald Trump picked some really bad people to be around
00:50:21.520
him? There's nothing at this point to connect him to Donald Trump. There's nothing on collusion or
00:50:29.280
anything else. However, the next guy probably to drop now will be Steve Bannon because Steve Bannon
00:50:37.640
and Stone were very close. And if Steve Bannon has testified that I had no idea about Roger Stone,
00:50:48.640
I had no idea about WikiLeaks, and if they have evidence that he did, Bannon will be the next to go.
00:50:59.320
And that's also in the indictment. You can kind of see the chain of other indictments that might happen.
00:51:04.700
So they've already showed that Stone was in communication with these people to get this
00:51:08.300
information. They knew about it. Another unnamed person in this indictment is what they're calling
00:51:13.560
a senior campaign staff member. And that's Bannon. It's Bannon. The reason we know it's Bannon is
00:51:19.240
because they lay out everything that was said in the indictment between Stone and this person.
00:51:24.020
And that email has already been dropped. It's all over the place. It's in the New York Times today,
00:51:28.420
word for word. But in the New York Times version, it's got Steve Bannon's name in the to and from
00:51:34.860
subject line. So here's the here's the problem for Donald Trump. If if he has testified and said he
