00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today, big news about Iran, what actually happened there, drone shot down, Trump, you know, coming out and saying he was about to attack and then decided at the last minute not to.
00:00:12.160 It's a fascinating conversation about what does this mean? Where do we go from here?
00:00:17.380 And the kind of perspective of this really escalating in Iran.
00:00:23.020 We also talk about Iran with Bill O'Reilly. He's on for the hour. We talk Iran with him.
00:00:30.280 What Trump is looking for, what looking to do here. He's got a book out about Donald Trump and kind of give the back room sort of perspective there.
00:00:38.840 And what is going on in the media as well, the way they're covering this.
00:00:44.600 And we talk about will cereal give you cancer?
00:00:48.440 The answer to that, spoiler alert, is no.
00:00:51.160 But the ridiculous environmental study trying to convince you of it is what's really fascinating and how the media has embraced it.
00:00:56.420 And ABC News picking up on Ukraine and China and those stories that we talked about a few months ago.
00:01:03.840 And they're starting to pick up on this, too, with Joe Biden.
00:01:06.720 Joe Biden is in a little bit of trouble now. We're going to cover that.
00:01:09.860 And this weekend, if you happen to be a subscriber to this podcast where you are right now, you're going to get a bonus episode.
00:01:15.360 It's going to come out. It's the Glenn Beck Weekly Podcast Interview.
00:01:18.320 This week with Blake Harris, a guy who covered technology, had no intent on doing a political book,
00:01:25.200 but realized a guy who was a, you know, a multimillionaire tech inventor was targeted and eventually fired from Facebook because he supported Donald Trump.
00:01:39.120 An entire interview happens this weekend right here on the podcast.
00:01:43.060 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:58.020 Triad Mobile is is a is a phone service that will give you all of the great coverage that you that you want.
00:02:07.260 They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.
00:02:17.940 Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.
00:02:23.100 But most of these cells could sell companies.
00:02:25.260 They they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.
00:02:30.580 It's true. Why do you do that? You can go with Patriot Mobile.
00:02:32.960 They were created to solve that problem. They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.
00:02:37.680 Go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash blaze. Get started today.
00:02:40.400 When you use the offer code blaze, they're going to waive the activation fee for up to two lines.
00:02:44.900 Patriot Mobile dot com slash blaze or one eight hundred.
00:02:48.200 A patriot is the place to go.
00:02:49.900 So last night.
00:02:52.340 I wake up and I look at the news and I see that the president has authorized a strike on Iran and that we had dispatched.
00:03:02.200 Excuse me, military and we had already shot planes off and they were on their way and I don't know what their target was.
00:03:16.580 I would imagine their nuclear facilities, et cetera, et cetera.
00:03:19.240 And we had our ships positioned also to attack.
00:03:24.380 Now, he gave the go order.
00:03:26.380 Now, when we found out about it is when the go order then was rescinded.
00:03:32.520 Now, I'm trying to remember, Stu, have you ever seen a a go order rescinded before in your lifetime?
00:03:41.380 Usually, if I'm sure there have been some, but they're not widely reported the next day in particular.
00:03:47.840 Maybe you find that out in a story in a history book, right, like 10 years later with reviewing what went on.
00:03:54.460 I don't think I can ever remember seeing something where the next day kind of in real time the night of that this was was sort of reversed, which makes me wonder, is this exactly what Donald Trump wants them to think happened?
00:04:09.340 Right. Like, is this exactly the type of thing where you're saying Trump wants to say, look, he's he's he's warning Iran.
00:04:19.240 Look, we were about to do this and that's how close you are to crossing this line.
00:04:24.200 I'll give you one more chance.
00:04:26.240 I wonder if that was true.
00:04:28.620 Yeah. Now, there's a couple of there's a couple of ways to look at this.
00:04:31.580 And I want to take this all apart this hour.
00:04:33.920 And I want to I just want to take you through some critical thinking on this, because, you know, if you listen to the press, I listen to The Daily this morning from The New York Times.
00:04:42.600 I'm Michael Barbaro.
00:04:44.080 And this is The Daily.
00:04:47.780 Hi, I'm your host.
00:04:49.480 And this is the way you're supposed to talk on shows like this.
00:04:54.900 So I listen.
00:04:55.820 And if you're listening to The New York Times, you're listening to the the the left.
00:05:01.160 You're hearing the story that Donald Trump is a warmonger.
00:05:03.920 And the people in his administration and the president have just been itching for a fight.
00:05:08.720 Donald Trump is not a warmonger.
00:05:12.300 OK, let's be really clear on that.
00:05:14.360 There is no way that you can look at Donald Trump and say, yep, he's a warmonger.
00:05:20.140 Where is the record of him warmongering?
00:05:23.720 He has been against every action the United States has taken, I think, in the last 20 years.
00:05:30.000 I think I think he may have been for the initial strike in in Afghanistan.
00:05:37.780 But after that, he wasn't for any of that.
00:05:40.660 He was one of the most outspoken people about you're destabilizing the Middle East.
00:05:45.320 This is stupid.
00:05:46.620 This is bad.
00:05:47.520 What are we doing?
00:05:48.760 Time to end the war. 0.89
00:05:49.820 Bring the guys home.
00:05:51.440 So let's be very clear.
00:05:53.840 Donald Trump is not itching for a fight.
00:05:57.040 Donald Trump is not a warmonger.
00:05:59.540 Now, you could say that the people around Donald Trump.
00:06:03.700 Well, they're warmongers.
00:06:05.780 I'm Michael Barbaro.
00:06:07.300 And I want to talk to you about warmongering.
00:06:09.880 Well, that has to you have to take a very cynical view of people like John Bolton, John Bolton, who I would consider a friend.
00:06:20.820 John Bolton, who is a guy who I have talked to many, many, many, many, many times.
00:06:25.540 I agree with him probably 90% of the time, full disclosure, because I think he is a truth teller.
00:06:33.840 He is a guy who doesn't put up with garbage.
00:06:36.900 He's very much Ronald Reagan.
00:06:39.720 They're lying to you.
00:06:41.520 Trust but verify.
00:06:43.480 Let's not be dopes here.
00:06:45.800 Now, 20 years ago, when John Bolton and I first started talking,
00:06:49.280 you could say that he might have been more warmongering when it came to Iran than he is right now.
00:06:57.200 Because just like North Korea, if they get the bomb, they are going to be on the world stage, whether you like it or not. 0.68
00:07:06.960 And is the minute they have that, they will do exactly what North Korea is doing. 0.80
00:07:13.100 And that is whatever the hell they want.
00:07:15.300 Now, the Obama administration emboldened them.
00:07:22.020 Trump knew that this was a bad deal.
00:07:25.580 So he rejected that deal, pulled it off the table, because that's the only way that you can stop Iran. 1.00
00:07:34.000 You either have to do military strikes and hope you don't destabilize the entire Middle East all over again. 0.71
00:07:42.220 You either strike and take them out and have regime change through a military action, which I think we've had 20 years now of going,
00:07:53.960 that doesn't always work out so well.
00:07:56.820 Or you encourage and you kind of do what Ronald Reagan did with the Pope and Margaret Thatcher.
00:08:01.760 Now, let's just, let's go through this.
00:08:06.680 These were two attacks on two tankers.
00:08:11.460 That's what happened.
00:08:12.620 Oil tankers were coming out into the straits right there by Iran.
00:08:16.980 And they're coming out.
00:08:18.620 They're two tankers from two separate countries.
00:08:24.300 Do you remember which ones they were, Stu?
00:08:26.100 Stu, they were, they were not enemies of ours.
00:08:30.880 And they, this strait, can you just look up where the tankers come from, Stu?
00:08:35.440 Wasn't it Saudi Arabia and Japan, wasn't it?
00:08:39.660 Was it Japan?
00:08:41.200 It could be.
00:08:41.940 Just look it up just to make sure.
00:08:43.300 But they're, they're, they're, they're Western.
00:08:47.140 I know this.
00:08:48.000 I mean, they do business with the West.
00:08:50.020 So if it's Saudi Arabia, it's not a Western country, but they do business, providing us oil and providing Europe oil.
00:09:00.360 So now what would be the motivation for the United States to blow up two tankers?
00:09:06.920 To pin it on Iran? 0.91
00:09:10.660 Wow, that seems pretty dicey.
00:09:12.580 Because if we got caught, I don't think that would work out well.
00:09:17.220 And in today's world, you generally get caught.
00:09:22.100 It would be an enormous conspiracy.
00:09:25.500 So New York Times and anybody else that wants to go down that maybe we were involved, which I haven't heard yet, but it is implied, I think, in reporting.
00:09:37.240 This is kind of suspicious.
00:09:39.460 Okay, all right, I'll take you at that.
00:09:42.140 Now, the Pentagon says that they have the evidence.
00:09:47.740 They can show it.
00:09:49.520 They can show everything about it.
00:09:51.440 Now, maybe they can, maybe they can't.
00:09:53.880 But let's just think logically.
00:09:55.800 What would our motivation be?
00:09:57.820 You would have to think, well, the United States is going to blow up the tankers, so that will hurt our allies because that will disrupt oil coming.
00:10:08.660 Now, we've got lots of oil, so we could be fine, but Europe's not.
00:10:12.340 Now, Donald Trump is a capitalist.
00:10:15.800 He believes in making money.
00:10:17.960 He doesn't want to disrupt oil because that could collapse the economy of the United States if the economy of Europe also collapses.
00:10:31.140 Boy, that's quite a stretch.
00:10:32.820 I have to think this guy and those around him are absolute madmen.
00:10:37.700 That there's no logic going on.
00:10:42.080 Here's a group of people that say they're for the free market, but they're going to set up Iran by blowing up two tankers that will hurt Europe, especially if there's a war. 0.96
00:10:53.820 Hmm.
00:10:54.860 How's that going to work out for his election?
00:10:57.780 Now, what is the motivation of Iran? 0.57
00:11:01.220 Iran, well, Iran is being squeezed hard by the United States, and they're collapsing.
00:11:07.980 Now, if you wanted to do the Ronald Reagan, Pope Margaret Thatcher thing, you need a Pope and Margaret Thatcher to show up. 0.99
00:11:18.680 Can anyone point to anyone in Europe that has a spine to stand against the leading country of terrorism in Europe?
00:11:27.700 Do you find a Thatcher?
00:11:29.040 Do you find a Pope?
00:11:31.220 For this to be effective, you have to get Europe off of the fence.
00:11:37.020 Ah, Mr. Beck, that's why the United States is doing it.
00:11:41.520 Yes, but again, you have to think that the people in our Pentagon and on our side are absolute madmen.
00:11:49.260 I'm not willing to go there.
00:11:51.020 I'm willing to be suspicious.
00:11:53.820 I'm willing to say, well, let's look at the evidence.
00:11:55.860 But I'm not willing to say that the people in our Pentagon and the White House and the president is so warmongering that he would do this.
00:12:04.800 Because it just doesn't, it won't work.
00:12:07.540 It would not work.
00:12:09.000 They need to send a message to Europe.
00:12:14.800 We have you by the short hairs.
00:12:18.400 We have you right where we want you.
00:12:21.520 If you stand with them, we can disrupt your economy and your oil. 0.84
00:12:27.680 That's why Europe didn't come out and say, no, Iran didn't do it.
00:12:32.440 It's why nobody in Europe came out and said, yes, Iran did do it. 0.50
00:12:36.780 What did they say?
00:12:37.880 France and Germany came out and said, well, I think we should proceed with caution here.
00:12:41.640 I'm not really sure if this is, you know, enough time to be able to really analyze if it was them.
00:12:49.160 They didn't say it wasn't.
00:12:51.000 They didn't say it was.
00:12:53.240 Now, the press will say, well, see, this is how much trust is lost.
00:12:56.860 No, that's not how much trust is lost.
00:12:59.320 They know in Germany and in France that they are surrounded by people who are like-minded in their faith, who are terrorists, who would like to disrupt France and Germany.
00:13:17.200 And they know any war with Iran will not go well internally.
00:13:23.880 They also know any war with Iran, it will disrupt their economy.
00:13:29.760 So what you have here is a bunch of people without a spine, or you could look at it positively and say, it's just a bunch of pragmatists.
00:13:38.820 This won't work out well for us, so we're just going to play it here on the side.
00:13:44.060 That is what Iran does not want to happen.
00:13:47.820 The United States does not want this to happen either.
00:13:51.700 Pick a side.
00:13:53.560 There is no Margaret Thatcher and there is no Pope.
00:13:56.420 But there appears to be a Reagan.
00:14:00.060 Now, this Reagan has been saying, well, look at, you know, there's an evil regime.
00:14:07.760 It's an evil regime.
00:14:09.120 Yes, that when something happened, they blew our drone out of the sky two days ago.
00:14:15.460 What was the president's response?
00:14:19.220 Well, I'm going to let you hear that warmonger.
00:14:21.780 So, Glenn, we have the countries of origin here for these ships.
00:14:25.080 There's been actually a total of six attacks, kind of going back here.
00:14:29.160 The four countries involved, Japan, Norway, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia were the four victims of these attacks.
00:14:37.180 And that have been largely blamed on Iran.
00:14:39.920 Right.
00:14:40.960 And I don't want to call those friends, all of those friends, two are friends and two are frenemies.
00:14:47.480 But they do business with us.
00:14:50.000 You would, in this case, you would call them friends and not friends of Iran. 0.87
00:14:54.920 So, the United States would think that it'd have to get away with bombing or destroying tankers of those four countries.
00:15:05.160 Get away with it.
00:15:07.880 Now, that doesn't seem like something that we're itching to do.
00:15:14.060 Especially since the president has a longstanding record of let's not destabilize more.
00:15:20.540 All right.
00:15:24.360 So, they blow down one of our drones.
00:15:29.580 And what is the president's first response?
00:15:33.560 Listen.
00:15:34.300 Iran made a big mistake. 1.00
00:15:36.980 This drone was in international waters.
00:15:39.980 Clearly, we have it all documented.
00:15:41.500 It's documented scientifically, not just words.
00:15:44.820 And they made a very bad mistake.
00:15:47.760 How will you respond, Mr. President?
00:15:49.120 How will you respond?
00:15:50.280 You'll find out.
00:15:51.840 Are you willing to do something wrong?
00:15:53.500 You'll find out.
00:15:54.500 You'll find out.
00:15:55.400 I mean, obviously, obviously, you know, we're not going to be talking too much about it.
00:16:01.860 You're going to find out.
00:16:02.600 They made a very big mistake.
00:16:05.480 Now, he went on in that press conference to talk about how he has a feeling.
00:16:10.280 I have a gut feeling.
00:16:11.260 And I could be wrong, but usually I'm right.
00:16:13.560 Usually I'm right.
00:16:14.360 That they just made a mistake.
00:16:17.500 That this was somebody low level that just made a mistake, made the wrong call, blew this out of the sky, freaked out, and it was just a mistake.
00:16:27.720 Now, we know that's not true because we have them screaming Allah Akbar and the administration of Iran coming out and saying, you know, Allah Akbar, look what we've done to the great Satan.
00:16:40.560 So we know that's not true, but the president was giving them an opportunity to say, hey, mistake.
00:16:48.520 Now, is that what a warmonger does?
00:16:50.520 Is that what a warmonger does?
00:16:55.340 So to believe that Donald Trump is doing this because he wants war, what you have to believe is that our president is absolutely out of his mind and a warmonger and just wants death.
00:17:12.400 Or if you look at his record, you'd say, okay, he's not.
00:17:15.380 But the people around him are out of their mind and they just want death.
00:17:19.380 They want war at any cost. 0.73
00:17:22.260 And they're so stupid, they think they can attack the assets of four allies and get away with it.
00:17:30.080 Or there's another option.
00:17:31.900 The United States is just a Jewish pawn. 1.00
00:17:34.740 Well, that sounds a little like Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and everybody else, doesn't it?
00:17:40.180 That's probably a really easy one if you believe in socialism.
00:17:43.800 Yes, it's a Jewish conspiracy. 0.98
00:17:49.380 But why would the president come out and say it's a mistake?
00:17:53.920 Why would the president come out and order a strike and then come back and say, nope, cancel it?
00:18:00.340 I think the most easy thing to believe here is that the president means what he says when he doesn't want to destabilize the Middle East.
00:18:11.680 And this is a way of sending a very, very strong message without actually lobbying a single missile.
00:18:20.780 Isn't this what we should be hoping for?
00:18:27.120 Could this be kind of dramatic strategy here?
00:18:31.740 That the president is coming out and saying, you know what?
00:18:37.000 I got the guys at the Pentagon and they want to do something and I want to do something.
00:18:41.940 Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
00:18:43.260 Last second.
00:18:44.140 No, I'm not going to do it.
00:18:45.640 I'm not going to do it.
00:18:46.760 Don't make me do this.
00:18:48.000 I'm I'm in your corner because I think you made a mistake.
00:18:51.820 Oh, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.
00:18:54.700 This is a president who is signaling to our enemies.
00:18:59.080 I got a twitchy eye.
00:19:01.020 But he's also at the same time signaling to you he's not crazy and out of control and has some sort of Iranian bloodlust. 0.84
00:19:12.240 That's what's happening in the Middle East.
00:19:14.060 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:46.360 Well, not personally, but I know, you know, you were 70 when the beatniks were.
00:19:52.980 Yeah, me and Maynard G. Krebs.
00:19:54.880 You remember Maynard G. Krebs?
00:19:57.200 I know the name and I don't know why.
00:19:59.640 Dobie Gillis.
00:20:01.480 Dobie Gillis.
00:20:02.500 That's right.
00:20:03.000 Yeah.
00:20:03.160 Still before my time bill.
00:20:04.500 One of the greatest of all time.
00:20:05.820 Work.
00:20:06.680 No.
00:20:07.060 All right.
00:20:07.460 You want to talk about Iran, right?
00:20:10.400 Yeah.
00:20:10.800 Either that or you're going to end up with Fibber McGee's closet.
00:20:13.600 So, yes, I'm going to go to Iran.
00:20:15.560 Yeah, we can ruminate about 50 sitcoms.
00:20:19.980 First of all, you know, you and everyone else are making the fundamental mistake of believing the New York Times.
00:20:26.840 And, I mean, I sit here and I'm just amazed that the whole country.
00:20:32.800 So, the New York Times, once again, goes out with anonymous sources and says, oh, Trump is going to blow the hell out of them.
00:20:42.100 But then at the last minute, he decided he wasn't.
00:20:45.120 And everybody came home.
00:20:47.260 Okay.
00:20:47.900 That might be true.
00:20:49.600 But there is just a good possibility that it isn't true.
00:20:53.500 Because the authors of the article have been wrong 95% of the time in the past what they've written.
00:21:00.960 So, I say to myself.
00:21:03.140 They had, I will tell you this, Bill.
00:21:04.740 They did, because I looked for the writers of this article and I thought, okay, which writer is it?
00:21:09.000 But they did, now, again, just because there's more people that are usually wrong doesn't make it right.
00:21:15.700 But there were about 10 authors of this article.
00:21:19.420 They seem to have this.
00:21:21.460 Come on.
00:21:21.740 Woody, are you telling me there's 10 reporters talking to the same person?
00:21:28.100 No, here's what I'm, here's what I'm, here's what I'm saying.
00:21:31.180 Here's what I'm saying.
00:21:32.480 I don't believe the New York Times because it's the New York Times.
00:21:35.620 And I don't believe the administration because it's the administration.
00:21:39.000 I will look at the facts on the ground.
00:21:41.400 And this, to me, makes sense.
00:21:44.720 And it actually works in Donald Trump's favor.
00:21:48.400 Okay, but.
00:21:49.380 Now, not if I just, not if I just take the New York Times.
00:21:53.120 But the analysis is based on your gut feeling and your frame of reference from what's happened in the past.
00:21:59.200 So, that's what you should tell your listeners that, look, this is what I think happened based upon what I know about the Trump administration.
00:22:07.880 But all morning long, I mean, you empower an organization that has been absolutely dishonest in its report.
00:22:16.800 No, last, last hour.
00:22:18.160 No, no, last hour.
00:22:19.320 That's exactly what I did.
00:22:21.000 I'm sorry.
00:22:21.440 In my introduction to you, I didn't do the hour.
00:22:23.620 Yeah, I mean, I was like, I'm listening, I'm going, that can't be giving these people any kind of validity.
00:22:30.260 So, I think the key question for all Americans is this.
00:22:33.740 What do we want to do about Iran?
00:22:36.460 We as a country.
00:22:37.780 We the people.
00:22:39.380 All right, so you have to start there.
00:22:41.160 What do you want to do about them?
00:22:43.100 So, we have that same question with North Korea and, to some extent, China.
00:22:49.840 So, okay, Trump doesn't really want to do anything with them.
00:22:54.200 He'd like them to go away, all right, but he doesn't want to get involved because that's not going to help him.
00:23:03.060 All right, if you read the picture, Davis, go ahead, go ahead.
00:23:05.900 So, here's where the media is really doing a disservice to America because they continue to try to make him into a hate monger and a warmonger.
00:23:17.640 He is the exact opposite.
00:23:20.000 I don't know of him.
00:23:22.140 He never has wanted that.
00:23:23.900 He hates that.
00:23:27.420 And one of the things that Trump, I get into in the upcoming book, is why?
00:23:35.900 And I'm not going to get into it now because it's not important for today's conversation, but there's a reason that Trump does not want to have a confrontation in the Middle East that involves the U.S. military.
00:23:49.920 However, he's going to have to deal with Iran, whether he likes it or not. 0.99
00:23:55.020 You're going to have to deal with it.
00:23:56.280 Now, if you think back to the way Bush the Younger dealt with Iraq, he lost control of it. 0.90
00:24:03.760 So, that's a lesson for all Americans.
00:24:08.660 Bush the Younger lost control of it.
00:24:11.940 All right?
00:24:12.640 Lyndon Johnson lost control of it in Vietnam.
00:24:17.340 Correct.
00:24:18.360 Correct.
00:24:18.860 It's easy to lose control.
00:24:21.560 Easy.
00:24:22.200 Correct.
00:24:23.280 And Trump knows this.
00:24:24.500 By the way, I have some breaking news, Bill.
00:24:26.160 Trump just confirmed the reporting is accurate.
00:24:31.040 On that he pulled back.
00:24:32.920 Did he give any...
00:24:35.520 Did he say what he pulled back?
00:24:38.180 Yeah.
00:24:38.440 So, I have the quote here.
00:24:40.840 What did he say?
00:24:41.500 What did he say?
00:24:41.960 It says, Monday...
00:24:42.740 This is a quote from Donald Trump on Twitter.
00:24:45.000 He tweeted this.
00:24:45.520 On Monday, they shot down an unmanned drone flying in international waters.
00:24:48.440 We were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sites when I asked
00:24:52.780 how many will die.
00:24:54.240 150 people, sir, was the answer from a general.
00:24:57.100 Ten minutes before the strike, I stopped it because it was not proportionate to shooting
00:25:01.100 down an unmanned drone.
00:25:02.880 Okay.
00:25:03.200 I think that makes him look so great.
00:25:04.740 He didn't put anybody in the air.
00:25:06.340 The decision that he made was based upon how many civilians or people around the sites
00:25:12.980 would die.
00:25:13.840 Does that make sense?
00:25:14.240 Which the New York Times...
00:25:15.240 Which the New York Times...
00:25:16.460 It's not what the New York Times reported.
00:25:17.580 Yes, it is.
00:25:18.480 It's not what the New York Times reported.
00:25:18.960 That's what they...
00:25:19.420 Well, no, it was not in the initial story.
00:25:21.920 They did...
00:25:22.720 You know, they've reported on it since, but it was not in the initial story.
00:25:26.360 Right.
00:25:26.420 Yeah, they had that by this morning, and I think if, you know...
00:25:31.460 I saw what the New York Times was.
00:25:33.740 And the theme of their story was an indecisive president who was afraid.
00:25:40.920 Yeah, that's because they don't know...
00:25:42.700 That's what that story was all about.
00:25:45.260 And you're exactly right, and that is what I've been saying all day today.
00:25:49.420 This is a guy who doesn't like war, but he will go to war if he has to, but he doesn't
00:25:56.820 want to.
00:25:57.320 The worst thing you can do is go to war with Iraq. 0.94
00:26:00.300 The people in his administration also know that.
00:26:03.000 The Pentagon has been saying that for 30 years.
00:26:05.640 It's why I think George Bush went to Iraq instead of Iran, because Iran is the real 1.00
00:26:11.840 problem in the Middle East, that and Saudi Arabia, but you can't go to war with them.
00:26:17.040 So Bush's theory was put freedom on both sides and pop the head of the snake.
00:26:22.120 For the purposes of helping the American people, which I know you and Stu desperately want
00:26:27.760 to do every second you're on the air.
00:26:30.040 True.
00:26:30.380 All right?
00:26:30.760 So let's get back to what do you want to do?
00:26:34.680 Because that's where you start when you develop a policy.
00:26:38.120 Now, my opinion is you have to get that government out.
00:26:44.900 Have to.
00:26:46.220 But you can't do it militarily at this point.
00:26:50.560 Because the world will not support you.
00:26:52.340 Correct.
00:26:53.700 And I said this last hour.
00:26:55.300 I believe that Donald Trump would like to do what Reagan did to the Soviet Union.
00:27:00.820 But what Reagan did to the Soviet Union required a Thatcher and a pope. 1.00
00:27:07.300 Tell me who in the world is a Thatcher or a pope. 0.57
00:27:10.640 Right.
00:27:11.580 But here's what you can do.
00:27:12.880 And this is not that difficult.
00:27:15.960 So Iran is a troubled country because the currency is disappearing, almost like Venezuela.
00:27:24.720 So if you're in Iran and you're holding their money, their money is becoming worthless.
00:27:31.760 And unemployment for the folks is very, very high, tough to make a living.
00:27:37.200 Those are the two things that are happening because of the sanctions.
00:27:41.140 That the United States and other nations have imposed.
00:27:44.620 So now, if I'm Trump, I say, all right, look, we've had enough.
00:27:49.220 These people are dangerous and they're trying to disrupt the world.
00:27:52.440 So we're going to have total sanctions.
00:27:55.340 No one buys.
00:27:57.080 So the United States is going to do that.
00:27:59.240 We hope NATO does it.
00:28:00.920 We're asking NATO to do it.
00:28:02.800 And if any NATO country continues to trade with Iran on any basis, we will take note of that.
00:28:08.640 We're asking China and Russia to do it. 0.92
00:28:10.500 But we know they won't.
00:28:11.960 But we're asking every decent country in the world, no trade with Iran at all.
00:28:16.760 Nothing.
00:28:18.420 Now, you're going to get maybe 65, 70 percent compliance on that because you can put a herd
00:28:24.920 on the NATO countries if they don't cooperate.
00:28:27.620 And that's going to be enough, I think, after a year or maybe 18 months to get these mullahs out. 1.00
00:28:34.060 I think that the people in the Persians would would Iran is Persia. 0.62
00:28:40.320 So the Persian people would rise up and throw them out because they're not going to have anything to eat. 1.00
00:28:45.380 It's going to be like Venezuela. 0.95
00:28:46.420 Well, all right.
00:28:49.400 So let me play devil's advocate on that, because, Bill, I think that's the only logical thing that we have left to do.
00:28:56.240 But let me play devil's advocate.
00:28:57.660 Let me play the New York Times, which may not be the advocate, maybe the devil themselves.
00:29:01.820 I'm not sure.
00:29:02.780 All right.
00:29:03.120 I'm going to be really pissed if we go to war on a Friday.
00:29:05.340 We cannot go to war on a Friday because, I mean, it will wreck my weekend.
00:29:09.180 It will really wreck my weekend.
00:29:10.660 Anyway, so let me play devil's advocate.
00:29:12.940 And I actually heard this today from the New York Times.
00:29:17.580 I'm listening to Michael Barbaro and the New York Times, The Daily.
00:29:24.620 And they're actually saying, you know, these sanctions, they're making Iraq or Iran more dangerous because the tighter the sanctions, they have nothing else they can do.
00:29:41.020 And I thought, gee, that's like saying, you know, when you discipline your children or you want your children to behave a certain way and you take away their phone, well, you're causing them to be more rebellious.
00:29:53.340 No.
00:29:53.840 What are you supposed to do with a group of people that won't do it?
00:29:57.420 So the press will say and many on the left will say this is going to make things worse.
00:30:04.240 Total sanctions.
00:30:05.140 It will trap this lion in a cage.
00:30:07.920 And the only way to get out is with its claws.
00:30:11.020 Well, that's the John Kerry philosophy.
00:30:15.100 That's what the Obama administration did.
00:30:17.580 So, look, we'll buy them off.
00:30:19.820 We'll give them all these billions of dollars that we froze and hand them that money, which they did in cash.
00:30:27.060 Bill, we didn't have any problems with them, did we?
00:30:30.120 We didn't have any problems with them.
00:30:31.700 Remember, I played the New York Times.
00:30:33.000 Well, come on.
00:30:35.420 A couple of years of peace.
00:30:36.140 We didn't have any problems with them.
00:30:38.300 This is what I mean about the New York Times and the false reporting and failure to search for the truth.
00:30:44.680 Everybody knows that Iran and the Revolutionary Guard has been behind the Syrian stuff, has been behind the Saudi Arabian stuff with the terrorism that's going on down there in the south of the peninsula, been behind the trying to undermine the Iraq government.
00:31:07.680 These people, that's all they do.
00:31:10.100 They don't do anything else but try to foster terrorism in the Middle East. 0.99
00:31:13.560 Everybody knows that.
00:31:15.260 So, all of that is just garbage.
00:31:17.940 You know, you can do the Neville Chamberlain approach and appease, appease, appease.
00:31:21.980 Because, I think the United States has been very reticent and not aggressive enough in Iran.
00:31:30.760 I would have done this total sanctioned thing, as I suggested, a long time ago.
00:31:35.000 Because you're going to have to confront them.
00:31:35.740 Yeah, I would have done it in 2003.
00:31:37.640 Yeah, you're going to have to do it.
00:31:39.920 It's going to have to come.
00:31:42.340 So, do it now.
00:31:43.180 And once they do get a nuke, once they do become North Korea, God forbid, then you have no good options left. 0.85
00:31:50.960 You have absolutely no good options.
00:31:54.380 They employ Hezbollah. 0.97
00:31:56.580 Hezbollah is Iran. 0.95
00:31:58.300 All right?
00:31:58.580 So, Hezbollah basically can take whatever nuclear weapon they have, whether it's a thimble or a full-blown, and do whatever they want with it. 0.83
00:32:09.380 So, I mean, this is a terrorist state.
00:32:11.800 The Mullahs are a terrorist state. 0.97
00:32:13.200 It's not a rational government.
00:32:15.600 So, the New York Times knows that, but won't ever say it.
00:32:18.700 Because if they said it, that would then make President Obama look bad.
00:32:24.720 And that's what's going on there.
00:32:25.780 So, what do you say, Bill?
00:32:26.840 What do you say to the people?
00:32:28.780 Because I got this when I worked at CNN.
00:32:30.540 And it was like, are you people insane?
00:32:33.200 Are you out of your mind?
00:32:34.420 They actually said to me that, you know, the Mullahs don't actually believe in all the religious garbage.
00:32:43.020 They're just saying that to appease their people.
00:32:45.560 And they would never really actually use a nuke in Israel, etc., etc.
00:32:51.620 I tend to take radical, crazy, religious people at their word. 0.98
00:32:58.580 If they say they're going to do something because God told them to, usually they mean it.
00:33:06.380 Do you believe that the Mullahs...
00:33:07.440 Yeah, I mean, did they miss 9-11, or were they not here on vacation?
00:33:11.680 Right.
00:33:12.640 Right.
00:33:12.840 Look, there are two people you can't reason with.
00:33:18.040 Stu and...
00:33:19.960 No, that's a joke.
00:33:21.740 I'm glad I made a list at least.
00:33:23.200 Two people you can't reason with.
00:33:26.600 Ideological, political zealots, whether they're left or right, no reasoning with them.
00:33:32.880 All right?
00:33:33.380 They're whatever mental thing is going on up there, you're not going to get through.
00:33:40.360 Right.
00:33:40.760 And people who are consumed with hatred.
00:33:46.320 Now, there's where you've got the Mullahs. 1.00
00:33:48.620 Now, I don't know what the Mullahs believe, what they don't believe.
00:33:51.140 I don't know what they're doing.
00:33:51.980 I don't care.
00:33:52.960 I know they hate us.
00:33:55.080 They hate everything that America is.
00:33:59.260 Freedom, secular, capitalist, whatever we are, they hate us.
00:34:06.100 And that's what it is.
00:34:08.440 And you're not going to change it.
00:34:09.800 So why bother even discussing it?
00:34:12.060 I don't even have discussions like that.
00:34:14.420 You either get a strategy to deal with Iran or you don't. 0.96
00:34:18.260 I'm hoping President Trump and his administration can come up with one.
00:34:22.400 Right now, I don't know what their strategy is.
00:34:24.500 I'd like to know what it is.
00:34:26.280 Go ahead.
00:34:26.640 You know John Bolton, right, personally?
00:34:31.260 Yes.
00:34:31.520 Okay.
00:34:31.980 I do, too.
00:34:33.000 I like John Bolton.
00:34:34.260 I think he is cut from the same cloth of Reagan.
00:34:37.700 He's not a crazy man.
00:34:39.200 He's not a warmonger.
00:34:40.440 But he doesn't believe in fooling around with evil.
00:34:44.040 No, he's Cheney.
00:34:45.240 That's the problem.
00:34:48.740 So the ambassador is Cheney.
00:34:51.540 They're the same mindset.
00:34:53.200 And their mindset is use American power when it's necessary.
00:34:59.300 And don't compromise and don't elongate it.
00:35:04.500 But Bolton, he's not going to win this.
00:35:08.060 Yeah, when it's necessary.
00:35:09.080 He believes that Iran's an evil nation.
00:35:11.500 It's got to be taken off the map.
00:35:13.940 Not literally.
00:35:15.480 You don't have to kill them all.
00:35:16.660 But it has to be overthrown.
00:35:18.500 That's what Bolton believes.
00:35:19.640 The regime, yeah.
00:35:21.140 But do you believe that he's only willing to do that through bloodshed?
00:35:26.180 Or do you think he's willing for tough sanctions and everything else?
00:35:30.020 But, I mean, he's in those discussions.
00:35:32.060 So everybody in the Trump administration knows what his strategy is.
00:35:36.580 Again, I would like to know what the president's strategy is toward Iran.
00:35:41.920 Are you going to try to overthrow them?
00:35:44.240 I know you don't want to say that because that could make things worse.
00:35:50.440 But you've got to basically define, look, we have this terrorist state causing a lot of trouble.
00:35:57.960 We believe it can't continue.
00:36:00.460 That's all.
00:36:02.220 So then the message goes out, okay, something's going to happen.
00:36:06.220 You don't have to tell them what it is.
00:36:08.020 But right now we don't even know if something's going to happen.
00:36:11.840 All right.
00:36:12.460 So isn't that exactly, though, what Ronald Reagan did?
00:36:15.840 He called them an evil empire and it can't last and it won't last.
00:36:20.720 But he still was in negotiations with them.
00:36:23.860 He still was friendly towards Gorbachev, etc., etc.
00:36:28.200 I'll get your response when we come back.
00:36:29.960 We're with the one and the only Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
00:36:33.520 We're talking about war with Iran and, you know, bad idea.
00:36:41.280 And I don't think the White House wants it.
00:36:43.160 I don't think the Pentagon wants it.
00:36:44.720 I don't think anybody wants that.
00:36:46.660 The ones who really do kind of want some of it, at least to stir everybody up, I think, is Iran. 1.00
00:36:54.540 That's, you know, they go after four oil tankers.
00:36:56.740 And the reason why France and Germany said nothing about it, and I'd like to hear your opinion on this, Bill,
00:37:02.840 we came out and said, yes, we have the evidence that it is Iran.
00:37:06.440 The foreign minister of both France and Germany came out and said, well, I mean, maybe.
00:37:11.100 I mean, it's a little too early to tell.
00:37:13.280 They're just afraid of Iran causing economic disruption for them.
00:37:19.040 So, of course, that's what they're going to say.
00:37:21.160 Of course.
00:37:21.800 I'm going to Germany next week.
00:37:23.660 I'm going to wise up Merkel.
00:37:25.100 I'm going to, you know, actually.
00:37:27.260 Okay.
00:37:28.000 I am actually going to go.
00:37:29.520 I'm going to Berlin, and I'm meeting some very high-level people over there.
00:37:34.980 And you're absolutely right.
00:37:37.240 I mean, they don't want business to be interrupted.
00:37:39.200 That's always the way it's been.
00:37:40.700 Always the way it's been.
00:37:43.080 And the American people don't want business interrupted either.
00:37:45.880 It is Trump.
00:37:46.760 Yeah, I was going to say, I think Donald Trump is kind of the same.
00:37:50.000 Right.
00:37:50.980 This would be the worst thing that could happen for Donald Trump.
00:37:54.380 Slap the sanctions on them and tell everybody to cooperate, or, you know, we won't buy their stuff.
00:38:01.300 So that's the way to do it in the short term.
00:38:03.600 And then long term, you've got to figure out what your strategy is going to take a little bit.
00:38:07.520 But you mentioned before the break Reagan.
00:38:09.220 Reagan was obsessed with the Soviet Union.
00:38:13.440 Obsessed.
00:38:13.840 And if you read Killing Reagan, I know you read it twice, Beck.
00:38:17.900 It goes all the way back to his Hollywood days, to Ronald Reagan's Hollywood days, when he was one of the guys who actually informed on communists in Hollywood.
00:38:29.080 Reagan was actually an informer.
00:38:30.280 And he was so angry that he was exposed in that area that he said, look, I did what I thought I was right back in Hollywood because these people are off the chart evil.
00:38:46.500 So it was personal for Reagan to get the Soviet Union.
00:38:50.580 And that's what that was all about.
00:38:53.880 All right, Bill, let's change the subject.
00:38:55.900 Let's go through a couple of other things quickly.
00:38:57.760 First of all, you just mentioned Angela Merkel.
00:38:59.480 I wasn't going to bring this up, but did you see the video of her shaking?
00:39:02.700 Do you believe that was just dehydration?
00:39:04.900 What people don't know about that is that right before that video was taken, she was listening to Chubby Checker, the twist, and that's what that was all about, Beck.
00:39:16.820 Really?
00:39:17.620 Really?
00:39:18.020 Are we going to make some Glenn Miller jokes, too, later?
00:39:22.080 You know, you think your audience is like 18?
00:39:25.860 Is that what you're thinking here?
00:39:26.960 No, I don't.
00:39:27.860 No, I don't.
00:39:28.860 I just like making you feel old.
00:39:31.600 I know, I know, I know.
00:39:32.880 I just like to make you feel old.
00:39:35.260 You can't, because if I stand, look, on this cruise, people are going to see me standing right next to you, Beck.
00:39:42.740 All right?
00:39:43.180 And they're going to, gee, I didn't know O'Reilly was 10 years old, younger than Beck.
00:39:46.920 I didn't know that.
00:39:48.240 They're going to see you with their own eyes.
00:39:50.680 Right.
00:39:51.260 I'm going to get right to the chase.
00:39:52.980 The far left thing that Trump did on Tuesday night is very important for this country.
00:40:03.320 And for Trump.
00:40:04.260 But I don't care about Trump.
00:40:05.540 I'm not rooting for whatever.
00:40:07.700 I've got to watch them all, as you know.
00:40:10.420 You're talking about his rally.
00:40:12.360 Yes.
00:40:13.520 He goes over the most of total waste of time.
00:40:15.960 We got it.
00:40:16.500 You won.
00:40:17.140 All right?
00:40:17.540 We don't need to hear it 55 more times.
00:40:20.160 I know, I know.
00:40:20.420 Then he segues into what I've been doing on BillOReilly.com for a month.
00:40:25.900 You've got to define, all right, the danger from Cory Booker and from Bernie Sanders and from Kamala Harris and the whole crew.
00:40:36.900 So you've got to define it so Americans know this is a dangerous operation, this far left business.
00:40:45.380 And then he started to do it, Trump, with the Kavanaugh stuff.
00:40:49.700 And then he got in.
00:40:51.540 But he didn't do it enough.
00:40:53.020 This is the lead beside the economy.
00:40:56.160 This is the lead.
00:40:58.220 Here's what's going on.
00:40:59.560 Everybody should know.
00:41:00.960 Now, this far left cabal has hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal.
00:41:10.040 Okay, number one.
00:41:11.800 And it's not as big as you think.
00:41:13.560 It's just well funded and well directed.
00:41:16.720 And organized.
00:41:18.380 All right?
00:41:18.820 They're on social media.
00:41:20.600 There's five or six organizations, and they have hundreds of millions of dollars to spread their propaganda.
00:41:25.580 What they're trying to do is to convince young Americans and minorities that you live in an evil country. 0.95
00:41:35.260 America is evil.
00:41:37.040 Not Iran. 0.97
00:41:38.040 Not Russia. 0.69
00:41:39.440 America.
00:41:40.600 That is the goal.
00:41:43.500 Convince gullible, naive, ill-informed people that they are living in an evil country.
00:41:51.620 And therefore, that's what reparations is all about.
00:41:55.660 That's what social justice is all about.
00:41:58.340 That's what let everybody out of prison is all about.
00:42:01.280 That's what the homeless overrun cities is all about. 1.00
00:42:04.620 It's all America is evil, evil, evil.
00:42:08.400 If you can get that mindset established, if you can get enough Americans believing that garbage, then you can overthrow traditional America.
00:42:21.340 So, now here's the thing, Bill.
00:42:23.020 And that's what is going on here.
00:42:25.860 Correct.
00:42:26.300 Now, you not only are trying to do that, but as a side benefit, you also will discredit everything so much that the average person who is not into all of this and just wants to do their job, they just become sick of it.
00:42:46.000 And so, they're not paying attention and they don't know, they don't want to pick a side because they don't want to be like that.
00:42:53.720 And so, the people who have the most to lose don't stand up because they don't know what to do because they haven't really thought of it.
00:43:03.000 Well, that's their fault.
00:43:04.980 They're just tired of it.
00:43:05.760 I'm not feeling sorry for the morons.
00:43:08.420 I'm sorry.
00:43:09.380 If you're a lazy person who all you want to do is play video games all day long and you don't know anything, I don't feel sorry for you.
00:43:18.800 So, I don't either.
00:43:19.540 But I will tell you, Bill, that I think that that is a hasty generalization of who I'm talking about.
00:43:25.660 I think there are a lot of parents out there who are so struggling with everything else in their life, school.
00:43:32.880 I mean, raising a kid.
00:43:33.900 I've got a 15-year-old kid.
00:43:35.000 Well, you know your kids.
00:43:37.280 Raising them in today's world is handful enough and you think, I am just overwhelmed.
00:43:42.920 You watch this stuff on TV.
00:43:44.480 You don't feel, because this is the lie, you don't feel you can change anything.
00:43:50.220 Two words.
00:43:51.600 Buck up.
00:43:53.560 This is important.
00:43:55.440 Okay?
00:43:55.900 I agree.
00:43:56.260 If you want your country, you know, my slogan on BillOReilly.com is take your country back.
00:44:04.920 Because this is the first time in history that you have had a radical movement that has been embraced and enabled by the media.
00:44:15.300 You have never had that before in America.
00:44:19.240 Never.
00:44:20.840 Now, closest to, closest to, closest to, closest to that, I'm sorry, satellite delay.
00:44:29.600 Closest thing you came to that is probably FDR, where they were in bed with them, but they were not in bed with the riots on the streets.
00:44:37.740 But it was a fundamental philosophical agreement with Franklin Roosevelt.
00:44:44.340 Not, we hate our country.
00:44:47.420 Correct.
00:44:47.580 You've got to understand, the people like George Soros and these people hate the USA.
00:44:54.200 They believe that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were white supremacists.
00:45:01.900 They believe that this country is built on the back of exploiting minorities.
00:45:08.060 They believe it is wrong and immoral to stop anyone from coming here.
00:45:14.040 Anyone.
00:45:15.800 So what do you take from...
00:45:17.040 The people who believe will absolutely destroy this country in 20 years, unless they're checked.
00:45:21.760 Oh, it won't take 20 years.
00:45:22.580 Yeah, it won't take 20 years.
00:45:24.860 I bet we have another five left in this at this pace, but...
00:45:28.300 No, I don't think it's that bad yet.
00:45:29.660 I hope it's 20 years.
00:45:31.300 Okay, so what do you take away from...
00:45:35.720 Trump wouldn't have been elected if it had tipped, if the point had tipped.
00:45:41.560 All right?
00:45:42.340 So it's, the majority still love their country.
00:45:47.060 But if you're going to sit it out, then you're going to lose your country.
00:45:51.460 And I am so angry about this, because I see it better than anybody, because I went through it.
00:45:57.460 Go ahead.
00:45:57.980 Bill, what do you take away from Chuck Todd having a moment where he's saying, which should not be courageous by any stretch,
00:46:13.260 why is it I can't critique Ocasio-Cortez, what she said was wrong, was wrong, and we shouldn't be standing for it?
00:46:21.580 What do you take away from the lesson that everyone on the left gave to him on shut your mouth and sit down?
00:46:31.080 Listen, this is, it's even worse than Chuck Todd.
00:46:38.160 It's Biden.
00:46:39.540 Biden can't even come out and say, you know what?
00:46:42.040 I didn't like these Southern senators because I believe they were segregationists, but I worked with them and we advanced the good of the country.
00:46:50.600 He's a racist.
00:46:51.400 Biden's got to apologize.
00:46:53.740 Now, Ocasio-Cortez, if I handed her my book, Killing the SS, if I handed it to her and said, look, why don't you read this and find out what concentration camps really were?
00:47:03.980 Because you're lying.
00:47:05.620 You're not just misinformed.
00:47:07.360 You're lying.
00:47:08.480 There are no concentration camps on the Southern border.
00:47:11.460 And there never were.
00:47:13.260 You're lying.
00:47:14.340 Here's the proof.
00:47:15.480 Read it.
00:47:16.140 She would not read it.
00:47:18.460 She would not do it.
00:47:20.100 She doesn't care about it.
00:47:22.380 The truth.
00:47:23.680 She wants, she despises her country. 0.99
00:47:27.120 She wants to tear the fabric of the country down. 1.00
00:47:31.480 And this is what I'm trying to get.
00:47:32.300 So do you believe that, I know, but do you believe that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, et cetera, et cetera, hate and despise our country and want to tear it down?
00:47:43.880 Or are now afraid of this, of the left, that they are just, they're not going to do anything about it?
00:47:49.260 They're intimidated because they don't want to be torn to pieces like O'Reilly was.
00:47:54.940 And look, when they tore me to pieces two years ago, everybody got the message.
00:48:02.700 All right?
00:48:03.540 The corporation aren't going to back you.
00:48:05.860 They're not going to back you.
00:48:07.340 And you're going to get torn to pieces by the media that despises you.
00:48:12.020 Well, everybody got it.
00:48:14.260 Pelosi doesn't want people going, looking around into her life.
00:48:18.180 She doesn't want that. 0.84
00:48:19.440 Biden's just, this is just beginning for Biden.
00:48:23.660 They're going to try to tear his throat out.
00:48:27.020 Okay?
00:48:27.760 And this is what I'm saying.
00:48:29.740 Biden's a white man.
00:48:31.340 Just because he's a white man, he's not worthy to be president.
00:48:36.360 Now, you think I'm an extremist?
00:48:38.120 You think I'm saying, this is exactly what's happening?
00:48:41.920 No, it is exactly, you're exactly right on this.
00:48:44.080 Now, let me ask you this.
00:48:45.920 Does this work to his advantage with the independents who are sick of all of this stuff when he says, I'm not apologizing for anything?
00:48:56.100 Yes.
00:48:56.820 Doesn't that work to his advantage?
00:48:59.280 That was the first time he stood up to them, by the way.
00:49:02.040 All right?
00:49:02.300 Yes, I know.
00:49:02.880 He stood up to them yesterday, because I know somebody told him to do it, and that helps him with the not-crazy Democrats.
00:49:11.460 Not all Democrats are crazy or hate their country.
00:49:15.080 All right?
00:49:15.220 I agree.
00:49:15.520 This far-left cabal is about 15%, but they control the media, and they've got unlimited funds.
00:49:24.140 Yep.
00:49:25.300 Yep.
00:49:25.820 All right, Bill O'Reilly, been a fascinating conversation with you today.
00:49:28.780 Looking forward to it next week.
00:49:30.060 Have a safe trip with Angela Merkel, and we'll catch you on-
00:49:33.500 Yeah, I'll talk to you before I leave, and you can give me some tips, Beck.
00:49:37.180 Yeah.
00:49:37.460 And in the meantime, why don't everybody go to BillOReilly.com for wisdom?
00:49:40.600 Yeah.
00:49:41.260 Wisdom.
00:49:43.060 Wisdom.
00:49:44.140 Yeah.
00:49:44.980 And it's found there.
00:49:46.360 Are you having a guest host next week?
00:49:48.040 No, no, no, it's me.
00:49:49.560 It's me.
00:49:50.160 It's me.
00:49:50.480 Oh, well, that's an interesting theory.
00:49:53.680 Bill O'Reilly from-
00:49:53.840 The wise man from Long Island.
00:49:57.580 BillOReilly.com.
00:49:58.620 Thank you very much, Bill.
00:49:59.460 All right, guys.
00:50:00.380 See you.
00:50:01.420 The Blaze Radio Network.
00:50:05.880 On Demand.
