The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Bill O'Reilly & John Ziegler ｜ 2⧸15⧸19

00:00:00.000 oh my gosh what a wild ride this friday podcast really is uh we start out with the with the

00:00:09.440 incredibly bad bill that apparently the president is going to sign we urged our listeners to write

00:00:15.840 and call the white house go on social media please go for a continuing resolution over this bill

00:00:21.560 and we go through it and why it's so bad also bill o'reilly who has a completely different take

00:00:27.920 on things and then john ziegler tells us the story this amazing story uh about the celebrity that was

00:00:36.980 accosted by trump supporters in chicago on one of the coldest nights of the year a star from empire

00:00:44.380 uh that one's falling apart and falling apart quickly we talked to john ziegler all on today's

00:00:51.780 podcast

00:00:52.340 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:03.180 okay um

00:01:09.580 i wrote to um i wrote to a senator

00:01:14.740 i wrote to a silicon valley guy and i wrote to a military intelligence person

00:01:23.040 and i said the spending bill and the national emergency

00:01:28.440 pots

00:01:30.040 all three of them came back with a different answer

00:01:34.640 all three of them

00:01:36.840 um

00:01:38.240 but the one thing they had in common was

00:01:41.260 this is horrible

00:01:42.760 now some of them said do it

00:01:45.600 some of them said don't

00:01:47.180 some of them were really strong

00:01:49.140 do it

00:01:50.100 some are very strong

00:01:51.380 don't

00:01:52.340 but they all agreed

00:01:55.300 this is a turning point

00:01:58.480 this is a

00:02:00.540 uh this is a crossroads for america

00:02:03.440 and

00:02:04.760 this is a

00:02:06.180 bad decision

00:02:07.420 either way we go

00:02:08.960 so let's first

00:02:11.300 this is the opposite of a win-win

00:02:12.580 we are in a

00:02:13.280 yeah we're in a lose-lose

00:02:14.480 this is something that

00:02:16.560 we

00:02:17.300 cannot

00:02:18.220 um

00:02:19.940 we need to debate

00:02:21.260 but we cannot point fingers at each other

00:02:23.860 and call each other enemies

00:02:25.240 if we disagree

00:02:26.120 because the left

00:02:27.880 will win

00:02:29.420 on that

00:02:30.480 again you just described a lose-lose

00:02:33.360 yes

00:02:33.860 for conservatives

00:02:34.720 so i don't know how the left isn't winning already

00:02:36.700 because if they divide us even more

00:02:39.280 we won't be able to stand the onslaught that i think is coming

00:02:42.840 we have to

00:02:44.200 you know this

00:02:44.960 i have tried to reach out

00:02:49.420 not across the aisle

00:02:50.900 but across the divide

00:02:52.220 in the conservative movement

00:02:54.280 uh and

00:02:55.900 i have tried to apologize for past behavior

00:02:59.640 whatever

00:03:00.260 and just say look

00:03:01.820 i'm going to be a guy who will point out the things that i believe are right

00:03:05.640 and the things that i believe are wrong

00:03:07.640 um

00:03:08.760 and i will support when i can

00:03:10.920 i will stand up against when i must

00:03:13.280 uh but i am not going to judge you or anyone else

00:03:17.520 we must stay together

00:03:19.880 we can disagree

00:03:21.120 but we cannot become enemies

00:03:23.780 i don't know how many people really feel that way

00:03:27.620 um today

00:03:28.720 because we are so polarized

00:03:30.380 but we have to reduce that polarization

00:03:32.620 or we don't make the coming onslaught

00:03:34.720 before we get into this

00:03:36.120 i want you to know

00:03:37.000 that

00:03:37.940 everything in me

00:03:40.640 everything in me

00:03:42.560 says this is

00:03:46.520 the

00:03:47.600 the next phase

00:03:50.060 i want to say final phase

00:03:51.360 but i don't feel comfortable enough saying that

00:03:53.340 this is the

00:03:54.080 this is the fundamental transformation

00:03:56.680 this is the change that came with all of this hope

00:04:00.020 uh and

00:04:01.700 i want you to know that

00:04:03.600 we i believe are standing at the abyss

00:04:07.100 we are standing at that cliff

00:04:08.900 that we dare not go over

00:04:11.860 if we go over we are lost

00:04:14.320 um

00:04:15.980 and it's going to be very hard

00:04:18.120 not to go over that cliff

00:04:19.760 but if you look at the things that we are dealing with now

00:04:22.800 we are dealing with

00:04:24.540 the

00:04:25.540 i believe

00:04:27.220 and i and i

00:04:28.240 i told you if you're a long-time listener of this program

00:04:30.680 that

00:04:31.740 i am trying to not use the word evil

00:04:34.660 you know too many times we will say

00:04:38.040 oh that's just evil

00:04:39.020 those people are evil

00:04:40.100 well no they're not

00:04:41.380 they disagree

00:04:42.660 they have a different approach

00:04:44.840 they think they're doing the right thing

00:04:48.000 most times

00:04:49.380 some

00:04:50.040 are evil

00:04:50.740 and they know that what they're doing is

00:04:54.160 totally destructive

00:04:55.640 and they have purposes that do not

00:04:58.360 and they know

00:04:59.780 they do not free people

00:05:02.340 they enslave people

00:05:03.700 and i've tried to swear that word off

00:05:07.580 but i will tell you

00:05:08.720 what we are in

00:05:10.760 right now

00:05:12.240 is a battle

00:05:13.340 between good and evil

00:05:15.660 and there is evil on all sides

00:05:18.920 evil begins with a spirit of contention

00:05:23.200 nothing good happens when everybody is at each other's throats

00:05:28.760 and it fogs our view of the real evil

00:05:32.600 but what we are fighting

00:05:34.040 let me give you just two examples

00:05:35.860 with abortion

00:05:37.380 we are not talking about

00:05:40.120 babies in the first trimester

00:05:42.420 where i think

00:05:43.800 god will look at us

00:05:45.520 to judge us and go

00:05:46.820 okay i don't know how you missed that one

00:05:49.960 but you honestly

00:05:51.760 were looking at it

00:05:54.060 and really

00:05:55.260 had compassion

00:05:56.540 or whatever it was

00:05:57.820 and if there is justice

00:06:00.480 after life

00:06:01.960 it will be worked out

00:06:03.900 i don't know how it's going to work out

00:06:05.300 but people who have that honest debate

00:06:07.560 of

00:06:07.880 i don't know if it's life

00:06:09.200 you know

00:06:09.720 as soon as the

00:06:10.580 you know

00:06:11.360 the egg is fertilized

00:06:13.560 we're not talking about that now

00:06:16.920 we're talking about letting children die

00:06:19.320 that we don't think are viable

00:06:20.620 we're talking about

00:06:21.720 killing a child

00:06:23.320 after mom is dilated

00:06:26.000 and she is giving birth

00:06:28.280 because mom doesn't want to raise it

00:06:30.380 it is

00:06:30.760 every expert will tell you in health

00:06:33.180 there is no

00:06:34.580 there is no way

00:06:35.640 keeping that child

00:06:36.760 inside that mother

00:06:37.780 dead

00:06:38.400 for three days

00:06:39.400 and then having her

00:06:40.660 go through

00:06:41.840 the three days

00:06:43.080 that it takes

00:06:43.780 to birth

00:06:45.160 that baby

00:06:45.960 is good for her

00:06:46.840 physical health

00:06:47.920 no way

00:06:48.600 we're talking about

00:06:51.700 the killing of children now

00:06:53.300 that's evil

00:06:55.100 we are also now

00:06:57.060 in this bill

00:06:58.100 there is a provision

00:07:00.060 that

00:07:01.500 in fact

00:07:02.300 i would like to

00:07:03.700 read it exactly

00:07:04.780 so you

00:07:05.620 you hear the actual

00:07:09.520 language in it

00:07:12.340 none of the funds

00:07:14.340 provided by this act

00:07:16.240 or any other act

00:07:17.520 this is section

00:07:18.260 224 a

00:07:19.840 or provided from

00:07:21.840 any accounts

00:07:22.940 in the treasury

00:07:23.760 of the united states

00:07:24.860 derived by the

00:07:25.960 collection of fees

00:07:27.100 available

00:07:27.780 to the components

00:07:29.020 funded by this act

00:07:29.940 so in other words

00:07:30.560 no money

00:07:31.840 that comes from

00:07:32.800 the treasury

00:07:33.320 or any money

00:07:34.740 that is collected

00:07:35.380 through any kind

00:07:36.420 of tax

00:07:37.200 can be used

00:07:39.340 by the secretary

00:07:40.720 of homeland security

00:07:41.680 to place

00:07:43.140 in detention

00:07:44.180 remove

00:07:45.840 refer for a

00:07:47.300 decision

00:07:47.840 whether to

00:07:48.740 initiate removal

00:07:50.080 proceedings

00:07:50.600 or initiate

00:07:52.040 removal proceedings

00:07:53.440 against a sponsor

00:07:55.160 a potential

00:07:56.740 sponsor

00:07:57.400 or member

00:07:58.480 of a household

00:07:59.420 of a sponsor

00:08:00.500 or potential

00:08:01.480 sponsor

00:08:02.060 of an unaccompanied

00:08:04.260 alien child

00:08:05.480 as defined

00:08:06.140 in section

00:08:06.520 462 g

00:08:07.600 of the homeland

00:08:08.100 security act

00:08:08.800 of 2002

00:08:09.660 so what does

00:08:10.940 this mean

00:08:11.460 this means

00:08:12.960 if you have

00:08:14.380 a child

00:08:14.940 with you

00:08:15.620 you have

00:08:17.120 amnesty

00:08:19.220 going to stop

00:08:19.740 you

00:08:19.980 they cannot

00:08:21.100 stop you

00:08:21.840 and this is

00:08:22.760 a permanent

00:08:23.720 act

00:08:24.320 now let me

00:08:25.220 ask you

00:08:25.720 if I'm a

00:08:27.140 drug dealer

00:08:27.760 I'm a dealer

00:08:30.120 in anything

00:08:30.840 nefarious

00:08:31.720 there is a

00:08:33.720 call for young

00:08:34.660 children

00:08:35.160 on the sex 0.66

00:08:36.660 slave trade

00:08:37.560 we already

00:08:38.940 know

00:08:39.540 that

00:08:40.100 that

00:08:40.880 the border

00:08:41.680 is a

00:08:42.500 horrible

00:08:43.680 place

00:08:44.280 for the

00:08:45.080 sex

00:08:45.420 slave trade

00:08:46.640 both directions

00:08:48.100 this now

00:08:50.400 allows

00:08:51.460 somebody

00:08:52.140 just to

00:08:53.020 kid

00:08:53.280 forget about

00:08:53.940 sex slave 0.99

00:08:54.700 just

00:08:56.440 a kid

00:08:57.060 you pay

00:08:58.460 me enough

00:08:58.980 I'm going

00:08:59.360 to kidnap

00:08:59.860 a kid

00:09:00.380 and you

00:09:01.940 walk across

00:09:02.500 the border

00:09:02.860 with a kid

00:09:03.440 or forget

00:09:04.520 kidnapping

00:09:05.060 the kid

00:09:05.680 paying

00:09:06.400 the kid

00:09:07.200 to go

00:09:08.240 across

00:09:08.600 the border

00:09:09.100 and then

00:09:09.540 come back

00:09:10.020 to Mexico

00:09:10.520 and go

00:09:10.860 across the

00:09:11.300 border

00:09:11.480 with somebody

00:09:11.980 else

00:09:12.380 that's

00:09:13.640 what this

00:09:14.080 bill

00:09:14.360 does

00:09:14.880 we are

00:09:16.240 enslaving

00:09:17.460 children

00:09:18.140 we are

00:09:20.260 looking

00:09:20.700 the other

00:09:21.200 way

00:09:21.660 this is

00:09:22.840 an

00:09:23.120 open

00:09:24.060 invitation

00:09:25.020 to

00:09:26.380 corruption

00:09:27.140 with

00:09:27.520 children

00:09:28.020 and

00:09:28.840 anyone

00:09:29.360 who said

00:09:30.300 anyone

00:09:31.420 who says

00:09:33.060 they are

00:09:33.500 a progressive

00:09:34.180 what was

00:09:35.800 one of the

00:09:36.280 first things

00:09:37.100 the progressives

00:09:37.860 did

00:09:38.220 the reason

00:09:40.000 why the

00:09:40.540 progressive

00:09:40.900 movement

00:09:41.340 originally

00:09:42.080 took

00:09:42.640 root

00:09:43.740 is because

00:09:45.120 it was

00:09:46.080 for

00:09:46.700 women 1.00

00:09:47.360 and

00:09:47.920 children

00:09:48.420 and

00:09:49.360 stopping

00:09:49.980 the

00:09:50.480 what was

00:09:51.720 called

00:09:52.080 at the

00:09:52.420 time

00:09:52.820 work

00:09:53.340 but it

00:09:53.720 was

00:09:53.960 really

00:09:54.620 slavery

00:09:55.560 of

00:09:56.580 children

00:09:57.420 children

00:09:59.460 and women

00:10:00.320 were

00:10:00.980 almost

00:10:01.760 damn

00:10:02.320 near

00:10:02.720 enslaved

00:10:04.000 by

00:10:04.500 workhouses

00:10:05.260 and so

00:10:06.960 what did

00:10:07.220 they do

00:10:07.740 they passed

00:10:08.880 all kinds

00:10:09.320 of laws

00:10:09.660 to protect

00:10:10.460 children

00:10:11.140 this law

00:10:12.640 does the

00:10:13.320 exact

00:10:13.960 opposite

00:10:14.720 that any

00:10:16.040 fair-minded

00:10:17.060 progressive

00:10:17.640 would want

00:10:18.840 we are

00:10:22.680 on

00:10:23.140 the cliff

00:10:24.260 of insanity

00:10:25.780 the same

00:10:27.700 day this

00:10:28.240 is happening

00:10:28.880 capitalism

00:10:30.460 is on

00:10:32.020 the run

00:10:32.940 amazon

00:10:34.960 is being

00:10:36.500 told

00:10:44.340 de blasio

00:10:47.400 amazon

00:10:47.700 facility

00:10:48.120 correct

00:10:48.500 25,000

00:10:50.940 jobs

00:10:51.580 but

00:10:52.520 socialists

00:10:53.800 have raised

00:10:55.300 such a

00:10:55.840 stink

00:10:56.340 that amazon

00:10:57.740 has no

00:10:58.300 place to

00:10:58.800 go

00:10:59.080 and amazon

00:11:00.120 says we

00:11:00.580 cannot be

00:11:01.460 bogged

00:11:02.000 down by

00:11:02.760 a bunch

00:11:03.600 of protesters

00:11:04.300 all of the

00:11:05.100 time

00:11:05.500 so they're

00:11:06.620 looking at

00:11:07.060 chicago

00:11:07.620 but they're

00:11:08.400 afraid the

00:11:09.220 same thing

00:11:09.660 will happen

00:11:10.040 there

00:11:10.360 they're looking

00:11:11.200 in new

00:11:11.560 jersey

00:11:11.900 they say

00:11:12.400 the same

00:11:12.840 thing

00:11:13.080 will happen

00:11:13.560 there

00:11:13.920 the third

00:11:14.720 one is

00:11:15.140 dallas

00:11:15.500 texas

00:11:17.040 which i

00:11:18.500 would have

00:11:19.000 said

00:11:19.480 come

00:11:20.760 you're gonna

00:11:21.420 find a

00:11:22.060 very very

00:11:23.320 happy group

00:11:24.300 of people

00:11:24.720 that will

00:11:25.080 take those

00:11:25.580 25,000

00:11:26.360 jobs

00:11:26.760 and that

00:11:27.620 is true 0.89

00:11:28.360 for the

00:11:29.680 most part

00:11:30.660 today

00:11:31.300 but it

00:11:43.280 righteous

00:11:43.700 they just

00:15:13.240 it

00:15:13.540 let me

00:15:16.980 ask a question

00:15:19.280 so the

00:15:22.080 border wall

00:15:22.900 what we're

00:15:23.760 seeing here

00:15:24.280 now is that

00:15:25.320 we are going

00:15:26.620 to theoretically

00:15:27.300 get some of

00:15:28.200 the border wall

00:15:28.980 in through a

00:15:30.900 national emergency

00:15:31.780 forget all the

00:15:32.480 legal problems and

00:15:33.340 the questions about

00:15:34.120 that whether it

00:15:34.740 can go through

00:15:35.140 or not there's

00:15:35.800 people on both

00:15:36.460 sides of that

00:15:37.040 or whether it's

00:15:37.940 a good idea or

00:15:38.640 what the ramifications

00:15:39.480 would be later on

00:15:40.420 forget all that for

00:15:41.280 a second if i

00:15:43.180 were to say to

00:15:43.700 you glenn you

00:15:45.260 are going to

00:15:45.760 get what appears

00:15:47.340 to be a

00:15:47.980 approximately maybe

00:15:50.460 20 percent of the

00:15:51.680 border wall uh

00:15:53.180 through a national

00:15:54.080 emergency which is

00:15:54.860 about what we're if

00:15:55.740 he's going to get

00:15:56.140 to the full 5.7

00:15:57.240 billion dollars we

00:15:57.940 don't know yet

00:15:58.840 how that's going to

00:15:59.440 go but you're going

00:16:00.200 to get that 20

00:16:00.800 percent of the

00:16:01.260 border wall that

00:16:02.440 trump is trying to

00:16:03.340 get and in

00:16:04.680 exchange for it

00:16:05.540 this is what will

00:16:07.000 happen no longer

00:16:09.040 will tax dollars be

00:16:10.600 able to be used

00:16:11.420 to arrest or

00:16:12.360 deport any child

00:16:14.940 who is is is an 0.64

00:16:16.800 unaccompanied child

00:16:18.200 a legal alien or

00:16:19.300 the person with

00:16:20.000 them the person

00:16:20.640 who's taking care

00:16:21.320 of them or any

00:16:22.720 person who lives in

00:16:23.660 any of their homes

00:16:24.560 or someone who

00:16:25.980 could potentially

00:16:26.620 take care of them

00:16:27.400 at any time or

00:16:28.520 someone who could

00:16:29.120 potentially live in

00:16:29.860 the home of

00:16:30.440 someone who could

00:16:31.320 potentially take

00:16:32.000 care of them at

00:16:32.440 any time would

00:16:33.600 you make just that

00:16:34.780 trade no no way

00:16:37.680 would i make that

00:16:38.380 trade and that's

00:16:38.980 just one part of

00:16:39.740 that spending bill

00:16:40.320 it's the answer

00:16:41.720 on this bill is a

00:16:43.060 continuing resolution

00:16:44.220 that is horrible

00:16:45.940 please mr president

00:16:47.900 reject this bill

00:16:49.840 don't declare an

00:16:51.160 emergency continuing

00:16:52.880 resolution

00:16:53.820 the best of the

00:16:57.340 glenbeck program

00:16:58.540 bill o'reilly the

00:17:06.140 country is at a

00:17:06.920 crossroads here i

00:17:08.060 don't know if you've

00:17:08.540 had a chance to

00:17:09.360 read the bill but

00:17:10.540 congress certainly

00:17:11.880 didn't have a chance

00:17:12.580 to read it before

00:17:13.300 they signed it and

00:17:14.160 passed it but it

00:17:15.620 is dare i use the

00:17:17.700 word today abortion

00:17:18.920 and the congress is

00:17:21.460 shouting their

00:17:22.260 abortion meanwhile the

00:17:24.360 president's about to

00:17:25.180 speak to declare a

00:17:26.280 national emergency

00:17:27.200 make sense of this

00:17:29.600 uh well i'm curious as

00:17:33.320 far as the spending bill

00:17:34.580 is concerned what what

00:17:37.040 troubles you about just

00:17:38.620 the actual spending from

00:17:40.260 the federal government

00:17:41.020 until september

00:17:42.440 uh well it adds a whole

00:17:45.480 bunch of spending i have

00:17:46.500 focused very little on the

00:17:48.120 actual spending in the

00:17:49.580 bill

00:17:49.780 you don't like it

00:17:50.380 because it's permissive

00:17:51.700 and no discipline

00:17:52.940 no no no no no it

00:17:54.420 adds a lot of new

00:17:56.020 spending but in this

00:17:57.240 bill uh let me see if

00:17:58.880 i can find it real

00:17:59.540 quick it has things in

00:18:00.960 it uh for instance we

00:18:04.000 can hire new border

00:18:05.700 agents but they have to

00:18:06.800 help people find a place

00:18:08.980 to live um you are not

00:18:11.520 allowed to um use any of

00:18:15.700 these funds you can now

00:18:17.580 let's see none of the

00:18:18.240 funds by this act or any

00:18:20.020 other act or provided

00:18:22.180 from any account in the

00:18:23.580 treasury united states

00:18:24.660 derived from the

00:18:25.320 collection of fees blah

00:18:26.300 blah blah uh can be 1.00

00:18:28.340 used to place in

00:18:29.920 detention remove refer

00:18:31.740 for a decision whether

00:18:33.000 to initiate removal

00:18:34.000 proceedings or initiate

00:18:35.340 removal proceedings against

00:18:36.520 a sponsor potential

00:18:37.500 sponsor or member of a

00:18:38.680 household of a sponsor

00:18:39.580 or a potential sponsor of

00:18:41.580 an unaccompanied alien

00:18:42.740 child so you can you can

00:18:44.160 no longer use tax dollars

00:18:45.540 to arrest or deport

00:18:47.000 anyone who lives in the

00:18:48.520 same home as an

00:18:49.660 unaccompanied child that's

00:18:51.740 an alien or could be

00:18:52.860 potentially live in that

00:18:55.000 i mean that is a any any

00:18:56.900 you know ms-13 they say

00:18:58.880 30 to 40 percent of

00:19:00.480 arrests of ms-13 members

00:19:02.040 are quote-unquote

00:19:03.420 unaccompanied alien

00:19:05.000 children so i mean this

00:19:06.500 is look um i'm not to

00:19:08.700 worry about this minutiae

00:19:10.240 because what i see is the

00:19:12.040 long game and that's what

00:19:15.500 uh president trump is doing

00:19:17.280 today what is the long

00:19:18.500 game show please tell me

00:19:20.340 the long game make me

00:19:21.240 feel better re-election

00:19:22.760 of trump uh that's a long

00:19:25.620 game um so trump says

00:19:28.060 look they got me in a

00:19:29.560 corner they kind of out

00:19:31.400 uh smarted me in the sense

00:19:34.100 that they shut the

00:19:34.900 government down americans

00:19:36.300 overwhelmingly don't want

00:19:37.320 that they don't want that

00:19:38.260 as a solution uh so i got

00:19:40.320 to get out of this uh i'll

00:19:42.280 get out of it by um signing

00:19:44.540 the stupid bill oh my god

00:19:45.980 and then finding money

00:19:47.940 elsewhere which he had well

00:19:49.980 in the bill it also says he

00:19:52.920 can only build in the rio

00:19:54.800 grand valley and it is

00:19:56.520 intentionally yeah but only

00:19:58.220 under the bill it can't he's

00:20:00.380 going to declare a state of

00:20:01.380 emergency which is going to

00:20:02.800 override the bill and

00:20:04.900 basically have a bill where i

00:20:06.060 want and i got i got nine

00:20:07.320 billion more to do it and

00:20:09.200 here's where it comes from

00:20:10.280 um he's already got it he's

00:20:12.500 already got the nine

00:20:13.120 billion so um the state of

00:20:15.980 emergency that over rides

00:20:18.900 the dopey bill everybody has

00:20:22.180 to understand that but the

00:20:23.740 rights or he's adding on top

00:20:25.080 of it he's adding it overrides

00:20:26.700 it because an executive action

00:20:28.980 by the president of the united

00:20:30.160 states declaring a state of

00:20:32.400 emergency where the bills in

00:20:34.780 place can be superseded to deal

00:20:36.960 with that emergency that's what a

00:20:38.300 state of emergency is that's why

00:20:39.720 everybody hates it so they

00:20:41.220 don't want to give the power

00:20:42.160 that the president that much

00:20:43.420 power to override the

00:20:44.560 legislature but the long game

00:20:46.400 is that he knows that if he

00:20:48.240 just wimped away and didn't do

00:20:49.940 anything he'd lose because that

00:20:51.880 15 percent of the ann coulter

00:20:55.620 right would turn on him and he

00:20:57.660 needs no you know i i disagree

00:20:59.260 with you here bill i'm watching

00:21:00.720 twitter and this may change but

00:21:02.560 i'm watching twitter and i'm

00:21:03.700 watching the the usual you know

00:21:05.760 uh border trump you know suspects

00:21:08.800 that are you know mad at him if

00:21:10.700 he does anything like that and

00:21:12.240 they're not for this bill either

00:21:13.940 he does have another out and

00:21:15.780 that's pass a continuing

00:21:17.380 resolution veto this and pass a

00:21:20.480 continuing resolution i think that

00:21:24.040 again we'll go on to the long

00:21:25.540 game number one the twitter mob are

00:21:27.500 activists so they don't reflect his

00:21:30.080 support crew um what the trump

00:21:33.140 administration and the obama

00:21:34.340 administration everybody does is

00:21:35.780 internal polling okay that we don't

00:21:38.320 see and the internal polling i can

00:21:40.480 tell you for a fact showed that

00:21:42.900 number one americans not want another

00:21:44.760 government shutdown and number two as

00:21:46.940 long as the president starts to build

00:21:49.980 some of the wall that they're likely to

00:21:53.480 vote for him for re-election so that's

00:21:56.260 what the internal polling showed so

00:21:58.680 that the decision was made by the trump

00:22:01.280 administration to go this way to try to

00:22:04.660 get as many people in his base to

00:22:07.100 basically they don't like it but they're

00:22:09.080 not going to turn on him so that is the

00:22:13.080 long game i want stew to ask you a

00:22:14.960 question that he asked me um uh and i want

00:22:18.920 to hear your reaction well bill it looks

00:22:20.780 like you know the the national emergency

00:22:23.040 would get potentially about eight percent

00:22:25.900 more of the the wall built uh which is a

00:22:28.340 significant amount on a two thousand mile

00:22:29.740 border plus the two percent that's in

00:22:31.700 the bill so it's it's not it's not

00:22:34.000 insignificant and i think the border

00:22:35.480 wall is a good idea taking out the

00:22:37.760 whole thing about the precedent that

00:22:39.200 the national emergency sets and

00:22:40.660 everything else this thing that we

00:22:42.180 talked about briefly a minute ago that

00:22:43.580 which basically says you no longer

00:22:46.100 can uh you no longer can use tax funds

00:22:49.080 to arrest illegal immigrants in almost

00:22:51.500 every situation i think it encourages

00:22:52.740 no no not not almost every situation

00:22:54.640 yeah only when minors are involved 0.93

00:22:56.980 involved minor driven thing right i i

00:23:00.160 that's true how i will i will tell you

00:23:02.480 that it's going to be used oh it'll

00:23:04.880 increase smugglers oh it'll increase

00:23:06.760 wouldn't you because you know every kid

00:23:09.240 they can find to be stapled to an adult

00:23:11.680 yep yep you know you know that's going

00:23:13.880 to happen of course incentivizes human

00:23:15.880 trafficking it's a chess game here so

00:23:18.220 you look you have to step back and you

00:23:20.240 have to say what is the most effective

00:23:22.700 way to defeat the permissive forces on the

00:23:26.340 left who don't want any border okay so

00:23:29.140 they want an open border so wait so

00:23:30.920 a message of the day on billoreilly.com

00:23:32.900 that laid out what happened in california

00:23:35.040 when the hispanic population latino

00:23:38.340 population um went from 3 million to 15

00:23:43.480 million the whole state became a

00:23:47.440 democratic precinct because of that

00:23:50.120 five-fold jump in hispanics living in 0.99

00:23:54.000 california that's what happened there it's

00:23:56.060 provable so now you have in the latest

00:23:58.000 largest state one party state that's what

00:24:00.880 the democratic party wants to do in

00:24:02.420 arizona in texas in florida flood the

00:24:05.660 zone with as many latinos they can get in 1.00

00:24:08.860 here by chain migration remember you get in

00:24:11.760 here and you you establish residency

00:24:14.420 legally you can take in 30 people okay

00:24:18.380 that's chain migration so if trump gets doesn't

00:24:24.180 get re-elected and someone like biden or

00:24:27.520 michelle obama wins then where our country is

00:24:32.480 essentially going to change um dramatically

00:24:36.060 yes i agree demographically politically

00:24:39.260 uh economically everything's going to change

00:24:43.480 so that the game that the trump people are

00:24:46.540 playing now is we have to stop that okay so but

00:24:50.020 if you're if you're building a wall if you're

00:24:52.380 building a wall i know you say this is a

00:24:54.360 minutiae if you're building a wall yes uh with

00:24:58.320 this bill it it accomplishes everything the

00:25:02.340 democrats want even if there's no other

00:25:05.520 alternative yes there is a continuing

00:25:08.240 resolution this is a symbol of the fight

00:25:12.320 it's a symbol of the fight the rubicon expensive

00:25:17.600 symbol though we have to make our stand here

00:25:20.300 because there's nowhere else to make the stand

00:25:23.180 where would you make the stand say trump uh

00:25:27.800 signs the bill as you suggested and then does

00:25:31.320 something else no no i don't want him to sign

00:25:33.520 the bill my problem is with the bill my problem

00:25:36.400 is with the bill because every no it doesn't a

00:25:39.380 continuing resolution we've had one since george bush left office

00:25:43.140 why this push all of a sudden for this spending bill

00:25:46.140 when you can just do what we've done since george bush left office

00:25:49.760 we don't have a we don't have a budget we have a continuing resolution

00:25:53.800 so sign a continuing resolution

00:25:56.780 he has to basically go to the congress i need to put his name on a bill or not

00:26:05.340 if he doesn't as you suggest then chaos breaks out i mean it's just all over the

00:26:11.600 place and he can't even govern because every single day there's going to be more

00:26:16.020 litigation is going to be this that he's overstepped his authority we want

00:26:20.380 this uh nothing else would get done the

00:26:23.140 whole government would be paralyzed what's happening in in great britain with

00:26:25.960 the brexit thing so here's the here's my feeling um is uh he is going to

00:26:33.680 announce a continuing resolution and he's going to sign this bill

00:26:37.020 the bill will be implemented because everyone will be looking at the

00:26:42.400 massive fight that's coming over the um the state of emergency and they're

00:26:49.460 going to hold that wall up every step of the way uh through courts it will go to

00:26:55.600 the supreme court marco rubio just said he's not sure he could support that i

00:26:59.960 mean uh it's it's going to be that's all

00:27:02.880 we're going to be talking about meanwhile more ice agents will be employed

00:27:07.880 because they can employ another 100 and 1200 but none of them can actually work on

00:27:14.080 detaining people according to this bill they have to be hired to help relocate

00:27:20.100 people from the border into the center of the country wherever it is they want to go

00:27:25.560 and just catch and release but now now we're a travel agency now ice is a travel agency

00:27:32.620 yeah where do you want to go we'll drive you we'll try i mean it's and that's and so so so my my

00:27:38.960 thought is is that you're taking it way too literally i don't think any of this stuff's going

00:27:42.900 to happen i don't think any ice agents are going to help anybody relocate into the united states

00:27:47.460 they're basically going to try to wall it up in the sense that not going to let anybody in just

00:27:52.020 like they did with the caravan all right so the caravan shows up in tijuana now they're in texas

00:27:56.600 and there's thousands of people living in tents well they're not getting in here all right they're

00:28:01.120 not getting in here for asylum they're not getting in here anyway because they walled it up they

00:28:05.860 basically said we're not taking you you're not coming in and just for the press we'll take 25 a day

00:28:11.500 all right and uh we'll process them that's what's going to happen here it's the same thing but i i

00:28:18.320 think that the larger picture is that americans have a decision to make what kind of country do you

00:28:23.780 want all right and that's what the trump people are playing they're playing look at these crazy

00:28:29.260 democrats look what they want to do all right so you can't give them power and that's what they're

00:28:36.120 gambling on in the white house no that message will get through and i and i think that i'm hopeful

00:28:42.380 that that message is going to get through because we are at the we are at the end of the republic

00:28:47.820 okay bill one quick question for you because you are the author of 975 number one new york times

00:28:53.620 bestsellers thank you and you have another one that is sure to be number one coming up about the

00:28:58.220 president yeah you know him better than anybody every time you you've talked to him all the time you

00:29:02.680 always add really interesting perspective about how the way he thinks you know at least that's what

00:29:06.700 i think i don't know what anyone else thinks um but when it comes to this we know the fight it's going

00:29:12.200 to be a crazy fight why didn't he stand like this when republicans had control for two years

00:29:18.200 because they couldn't get a full caucus in the house because of the freedom people

00:29:26.460 to support what he wanted to do so the freedom uh what is it the freedom caucus freedom caucus okay

00:29:35.220 so they basically said look we're we're hard guys and you're blaming this on what we want

00:29:39.960 and and ryan the speaker couldn't coalesce they couldn't get it and then in the senate mcconnell

00:29:47.960 kept saying to him look i'm not going to get 60 so uh no matter what i do whatever proposal i put out

00:29:56.660 um we're not going to get 60 we're not going to be able to vote so he's stymied in both houses

00:30:02.320 okay so so so let me that's more it's more likely now right like now the democrats have control at

00:30:08.500 least then the republicans now what he's going to do is not even listen to them so i i can't impress

00:30:15.000 upon you enough that a state of emergency gives a president tremendous latitude do exactly what

00:30:22.000 he wants to do oh i i i'm i am very well aware of that it's concerning though isn't it but when you

00:30:28.280 say okay the democrats are dancing around saying okay now when we get power we're going to do the

00:30:32.200 gun thing but they're going to run up against constitutional issues on that one they will that 1.00

00:30:36.520 will be difficult but global warming global warming they won't because i wrote a really brilliant

00:30:42.100 column that i hope somebody read to to i did not and i didn't ask anybody to read it what is this

00:30:48.660 what is this green new deal all about really it's about totalitarianism yes um in every single

00:30:57.700 country that has gone from uh a ruler to a dictator the dictator phonied up some panicked thing

00:31:10.480 that threw the population into this uh frenzy that will give away our rights and you can make it

00:31:18.800 better mussolini every single one throughout history there's never been an exception where people

00:31:26.480 voluntarily said oh we'd like a dictator come on in here franco and tell us what to do this global

00:31:32.980 warming stuff this is where we're all going to die we're all going to die so we have to do green new

00:31:40.020 deal where we the democrats in washington and tell you what to eat all right we're going to tell

00:31:45.860 you what to drive what what medical uh procedures you can and cannot have we're going to take your

00:31:52.660 stuff after you die we're going to take everything you have okay this is totalitarianism

00:31:59.220 this isn't democracy so they wanted to they want to control the lives of americans on every single

00:32:06.020 front and they're using climate change to frighten people in berkeley california who can barely find

00:32:16.660 their way to the facilities all right they're that dense into supporting totalitarianism and one party

00:32:24.420 rule which is exactly what they have in california one party rule and that's what's happening and it's

00:32:33.620 frightening because it could succeed with the decline of our educational system and by the way the green 0.74

00:32:40.660 new deal will tell the teacher what the teacher can teach and not teach it it extends into every single

00:32:48.740 thing america has and that's why i've sold 987 000 books a million books because i figured this stuff out

00:32:57.780 first all right well only because you were listening to this program about four days ago when we said the

00:33:03.940 same thing look here's the thing bill here's here's the thing you're absolutely correct on that um there is

00:33:11.300 a growing uh fascistic uh uh or or communistic whatever totalitarian uh view however it shapes up

00:33:23.300 there is a totalitarian view and the one thing you left out is the economy if the economy brexit goes

00:33:30.020 horribly which i think i'm hoping is kind of like the hype on you know y2k but if it goes horribly and

00:33:37.780 europe goes into the abyss so do we and everyone will be clamoring for a bigger government uh and then

00:33:45.220 we we we see it we see it go away um no i disagree with that analysis okay good well hang on hang on

00:33:53.140 we got to come we're going to come back um with more from bill o'reilly here in a second i do want

00:33:58.660 to tell uh stations that we're waiting for the president to give this speech uh to declare a

00:34:05.780 national emergency if he comes out during the break go ahead and take that and we will join it already

00:34:12.180 in progress on the other side with bill o'reilly but we will be taking it live

00:34:17.620 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:34:22.980 hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us

00:34:38.100 on itunes if you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe

00:34:44.020 on itunes thanks president trump uh is uh talking in the rose garden uh go ahead and bring this up he

00:34:50.340 hasn't said anything of substance yet except he has to build a wall um and hasn't gotten any of the

00:34:57.140 specifics yet let's go ahead and bring him up the new highs that we created we uh we have all the

00:35:04.580 records we have every record but we're getting close to that point again where we'll create new records so

00:35:10.020 our country is doing very well economically and uh we've done a lot but one of the things i said i

00:35:16.580 have to do and i want to do is border security because we have tremendous amounts of drugs

00:35:21.860 flowing into our country much of it coming from the southern border when you look and when you listen to

00:35:29.700 politicians in particular certain democrats they say it all comes through the port of entry it's wrong

00:35:37.620 it's wrong it's just a lie it's all a lie they say walls don't work walls work 100 percent

00:35:45.140 whether it's el paso i i really was smiling because the other night i was in el paso we had a tremendous

00:35:51.220 crowd and a tremendous crowd and i asked the people many of whom were from el paso but they came from all

00:35:58.900 over texas and i asked them i said let me ask you the as a crowd when the wall went up was it better

00:36:06.180 you you were there some of you it was not only better it was like 100 percent better you know what

00:36:14.340 they did i think far more than anybody registered all right uh this is the president of the united

00:36:21.220 states he has stated here that he is going to declare a national emergency

00:36:26.260 this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:36:42.100 john ziegler one of our uh one of our favorites uh one of my one of my favorite uh uh hosts uh because

00:36:48.980 he tells it like he sees it and uh to hell with the consequences uh and he is a guy who has been 0.71

00:36:57.860 out on the edge of stories like what's happening in chicago before uh and i think he's right and this

00:37:05.220 one uh this story in chicago had no one willing to do the work uh at least in the national media and he has

00:37:15.700 been it looks like as of last night uh it looks like he's right about this john welcome to the

00:37:22.100 program how are you all right always good to talk to you glenn yeah so so john tell everybody the story

00:37:27.780 if anybody has been hasn't been following it well uh a couple weeks ago uh empire actor jesse

00:37:34.500 smollett uh claimed that he was the victim of a heinous uh hate crime at 2 a.m in chicago uh where the

00:37:42.020 the the show is filmed uh that was directed at him because of his race uh his celebrity and his

00:37:48.980 homosexuality and that this occurred in the middle of a polar vortex which is totally normal uh for uh 0.98

00:37:55.620 two people who apparently were donald trump supporters who yelled at him this is maga country

00:38:01.700 because again that's totally normal because everyone knows how well trump did in chicago

00:38:05.540 and uh um and and how how big how big a maga country chicago really is um and and this uh story

00:38:14.660 also came to the police in a rather odd way there was a delay in calling 9-1-1 there were uh details

00:38:21.780 added after the original version of the story like the like the maga part right that wasn't initially

00:38:27.380 reported right which is important as i think we'll get into later on is to interpreting what really did

00:38:32.980 happen here because there's really two stories whether what he said is true and if it's not true

00:38:38.180 what really happened and to me glenn debunking these super pc stories as you've already suggested

00:38:45.380 i've done numerous times before is really a pretty simple mathematical equation i mean i mean it's really

00:38:50.900 it's totally math what i do is i take the plausibility of the story on its face which in this case is

00:38:57.140 probably about a 10 on a 100 scale you add to that the amount of evidence corroborating it in

00:39:03.380 comparison to what the evidence should exist which was in this case i don't know maybe 20 out of 10

00:39:08.900 and then you divide it by how hesitant the media and the authorities are due to political correctness

00:39:13.620 to debunk the story and in this case that's a hundred because this guy has a political correction

00:39:18.980 force field it's impenetrable okay so so hang on i just want to make sure that i understand uh because

00:39:25.460 what the what the claim is is that he was targeted right right okay so so he goes out of his apartment

00:39:34.740 at two o'clock in the morning and i don't think he set out a press release that he was going to walk

00:39:40.260 to go to subway so we have to first believe that two people in what 10 below zero temperatures something

00:39:48.820 something along those lines 10 below zero temperatures we're waiting for him to cross

00:39:54.900 their path on the way to getting this subway sandwich at two o'clock in the morning with bleach

00:39:59.540 and a rope right because he he got the rope hung around his neck which but bizarrely he kept around

00:40:05.300 his neck for like 45 minutes afterwards by the way this rope from what i understand is is barely a

00:40:11.380 a rope but i'm not sure sure it would be correct to call it a rope but but you're exactly right i

00:40:16.580 mean this and of course to me it's it's obviously it's 2 a.m it's it's dark he's not a real celebrity

00:40:23.620 uh if i would not have recognized him and by the way how many mad trump supporters are big empire fans

00:40:30.500 i mean the whole thing is absurd on its face and and there's no evidence to back it up and the first

00:40:36.500 time that i well the i wasn't the first time but the first time i thought this thing might fall apart

00:40:41.700 was when the police who do not have any incentive to debunk this because you know of the political

00:40:47.700 correctness oh my gosh especially in chicago when they started to leak things like for instance we've

00:40:52.980 gone through hundreds of hours of of uh surveillance tape which all of this area is has video cameras

00:40:59.300 everywhere and they couldn't find anything to support the story and i'm like wait a minute hold on

00:41:04.420 there's no way that the police would be even leaking that on background unless there was some real

00:41:10.020 strong suspicions about what happened and then i and i have to say even though i believe i'm right in

00:41:15.620 the big picture here i was wrong in in interpreting one piece of of evidence that i think the uh the

00:41:22.020 police may have snookered smallette on at least that's my current interpretation and that is they

00:41:27.220 released a few days after this the a photograph of two quote unquote persons of interest and when they

00:41:34.260 this got a lot of hype because oh they found the persons of interest this story is real and of

00:41:39.060 course then they released this photo and it's basically two blobs who are are not even close

00:41:44.180 to where this thing happened and supposedly they were walking away from it before it even occurred and i

00:41:49.540 and i thought that was laughable i thought there's no way these two people have anything to do with

00:41:53.860 this well i i now believe from my media sources and it's important to point out the part of the

00:41:59.220 reason i got involved in this glenn is because the media in chicago but doesn't believe the story

00:42:04.820 the police don't believe the story but there's censorship going on because no one wants to be the

00:42:10.660 first to debunk it because they will be vulnerable to attack sure and so they've been basically saying

00:42:16.660 to me hey zig uh you know here's what's really going on and what i now believe it happened is that through

00:42:23.140 using incredible modern technology the authorities have known who these two guys were from very early

00:42:29.780 on in the investigation and not telling us that and it was only after small that one on good good

00:42:35.540 good morning america and actually i deed those two people laughably as yep i know they're the ones that

00:42:42.100 did this well we find out lo and behold guess what the authorities know who they are they're questioning

00:42:48.180 in them and they have been extras on the tv show empire bum bum bum and uh and now we know that the

00:42:56.980 smollett story we don't know what for sure i have a couple theories that are being in the what the

00:43:01.700 police i think are debating about two different theories about what happened here but we now know

00:43:06.420 that smollett knew his attackers and that destroys the whole story there's no way this was a trump

00:43:13.860 related hate crime and then you go from there is it possible john that they that a did these people

00:43:20.580 who worked on the set of empire have a beef with him and and and want to take him on or is it possible

00:43:26.020 that maybe the attackers wanted to make this happen to make you know trump supporters look bad and and and

00:43:32.820 jesse is not actually involved in this well that's the in my opinion in the opinion of my sources though

00:43:38.500 that is the the debate that's going on in the police department right now and that's why last night

00:43:43.140 the police department put out a statement that of course the media latched on to is oh see this

00:43:47.220 isn't necessarily a hoax no no no read that statement carefully and read don't read it like a

00:43:52.180 kindergartner read it like really like somebody who's lived life and uh and and the reality is

00:43:58.180 they didn't deny that uh that there's a major problem with smollett's story here's what it breaks

00:44:03.940 down to was the story a premeditated hoax or was it a domestic dispute gone bad that got

00:44:12.740 post med uh meditated into a hate crime the eyeball abc the local abc reporter who's been on this from

00:44:21.780 the beginning has done great work he reported that broke the story open last night that that it was a

00:44:27.300 premeditated hoax and that's what police were believing i have never believed that because

00:44:31.860 there's certain details in this that don't make sense if this was premeditated hoax it was incredibly

00:44:36.900 poorly done like who decided to do this at 2 a.m in the middle of a polar vortex there's a lot of

00:44:41.700 different ways you could do this plus the details they not not putting forward the maga detail right

00:44:47.380 off the bat to me eliminates the idea this was a premeditated hoax to try to create a hate crime

00:44:53.220 because why would you withhold that from police so i believe i personally believe in the domestic

00:44:58.740 dispute gone bad uh post meditated let's create a hate crime and that may have been planted in

00:45:05.220 small ed's head because there was this threatening letter that was sent to the show about a week

00:45:09.460 beforehand and it got it spun out of control that's so when you say a domestic dispute are you saying

00:45:15.620 that this is these are two lovers of his or one lover who got somebody else there is a segment of

00:45:22.580 the police who have been telling their media sources from the beginning that they believe that that one

00:45:28.420 of the two guys that are in that photograph and being spoken to by police right now was in a relationship

00:45:33.380 with smollett that smollett cheated on him and that this was a revenge attack on him uh for what i'm

00:45:40.500 referring to as politely as possible as a domestic dispute uh and and then that that smollett in a

00:45:47.300 panic uh started to go down a a different path it spun out of control he added the trump thing because

00:45:53.620 he's a very anti-trump person and he knew the media would lap that up and of course they did and now it's

00:45:59.780 much bigger than he ever expected now he's trapped and now the story is falling apart because it turns

00:46:05.060 out he knows his attackers and here's here's the key part this is part of why the police are confused

00:46:09.940 i am told that those two guys are changing their story that their story is evolving and that that's

00:46:16.820 why there is a conflict within the police department of chicago as to whether this was premeditated hoax

00:46:22.100 or post-meditated panic hate crime and so that's why i think we're seeing a hesitation right now

00:46:27.620 as to where the police are going on this but the bottom line is the story is not true he was not

00:46:32.740 attacked by by donald trump supporters in a hate crime that did not happen do we know the race of

00:46:37.940 these two guys they're jamaicans which you know you know of course trump is very big in jamaica and

00:46:45.780 i'm sure i'm sure that i mean and of course you would never recognize a jamaican accent either at

00:46:51.860 2 a.m in chicago no not if they're talking to you it's it's it's like a chicagoan accent

00:46:56.580 right exactly so i mean the whole the whole story makes perfect sense right i mean and i think the

00:47:01.620 most important part of this whole thing folks is that this is a perfect example of how the the

00:47:06.740 news media the minute entertainment industry uh and sometimes even the authorities have become so

00:47:11.860 politically correct they're so willing to buy into these bs stories whether it's brett cabanaugh

00:47:17.060 or jim jordan or you know you remember the the story that we talked about a couple years ago with

00:47:21.620 the santa who faked the boy's death the air force academy had one of these stories last year that i

00:47:26.980 called him on turned out to be a fake hate crime and you and i've talked many times about the penn

00:47:31.220 state joe paterno jerry sandusky case the more politically correct the story is the more likely

00:47:37.060 it is not to be true because there's no incentive for anyone to debunk it because the media is not

00:47:43.140 about the truth it's about protecting the gig all right that's the most important thing the truth

00:47:49.620 gets lost in all this because popularity is the coin of the realm and no one wants to do anything

00:47:55.300 that's unpopular because you might get fired especially in a case like this so john tell me

00:48:01.380 what you think is going to happen we are you are you claiming that this story is absolutely not true

00:48:08.020 and the police are going to come out with it's not true this was not a hate crime this is one of these

00:48:13.700 two things i think they had to pick a lane and i also think there's going to be a lot of pushback

00:48:21.060 politically and so i still think this may end up going down the memory hole now the people close to

00:48:26.180 this day no and interestingly they say ron emmanuel the mayor of chicago is going to be the one who

00:48:32.100 forces this thing to get solved because he apparently i'm told secondhand but reliably he is pissed and

00:48:38.740 that uh and i think that they were they were willing to let this go down the memory hole until

00:48:43.540 he went on good morning america and then they decided all right uh let's unleash the dogs and i think

00:48:49.220 that the i so in the real world this story is going down uh whether or not anything happens to him

00:48:55.060 you know i am a cynic so i will reserve judgment on that when do you expect to hear more well i mean

00:49:02.100 they have 48 hours from last night to charge the two guys that they're they're currently questioning so i

00:49:07.380 think we'll know a lot more uh within that 48 hour time which is about another 36 hours so can we get

00:49:13.780 you back on the air on monday i'd love to hear an update let's do it okay john ziegler thank you so
