00:00:55.940You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:03.160Mr. Bill O'Reilly, how are you, sir? Welcome to Good Friday.
00:01:06.360Yes, and like the Nazarene, I am misunderstood. That's the only thing we have in common.
00:01:13.040Right. Well, you are the guy who wrote the book on assassination, I think. You wrote Killing Jesus, a personal testimony of how you did it by Bill O'Reilly, or something like that.
00:01:26.000Bill, welcome to the program. What's the big story of the week?
00:01:28.860Um, Putin, uh, did everything. Inflation, uh, the border, it's Putin, he did it all, and Jesus itself.
00:01:37.980Um, interestingly enough, on the Nozpin News last night, Beck, for the first time in 25 years,
00:01:45.260I laid out why I believe that Jesus is God.
00:01:51.620I have never done that in any forum, anywhere, anytime. I am a secular news reporter and analyst.
00:02:00.660But I did it, um, because of one statistic that rolled in, that we are now at an all-time high in America of people who have rejected religion, 30% of the population.
00:02:14.420And that really startled me, because if you know American history, you know that we were, this country was, founded on Judeo-Christian philosophy.
00:02:27.520And the Constitution was there to give everyone a chance to practice whatever religion they wanted.
00:02:36.160And that was different from Europe, and that's why all the people from Europe came here.
00:02:40.300And now, a third of the population is saying, you know, blank religion.
00:02:45.660So I decided, uh, because my family, for centuries, have been Roman Catholics, you know, we're Irish, and St. Patrick went over and converted that country, and I decided to tell people.
00:02:57.840So I wanted to see if you were interested in me just posing a few questions to you on this Good Friday.
00:16:03.000I think, Abbott, that's going to hurt you and everybody else in Texas, because that is going to raise immediately the cost of fruits and vegetables coming in.
00:16:37.280I want to hit a couple of other things.
00:16:38.800Your thoughts on China and Shanghai, the lockdown.
00:16:44.240Well, I think people have to understand that in these governments, whether it's Russia, whether it's China, Cuba, North Korea, that life doesn't matter.
00:16:55.520So if you have COVID and you live in Shanghai, 24 million people in that area, you're going to go to a concentration camp.
00:17:21.280Well, you know, it's it's so apparent because you go on and you see the videos that have been, you know, made it past all of the great walls of China.
00:17:30.020And you see what's happening in Shanghai and then you realize no national news source is putting this out.
00:20:37.980So yesterday we find out this is from Charles Gasparino.
00:20:41.060As Elon Musk offers to buy the rest of Twitter, a legal source tells Fox Business that the SEC and the Justice Department have now launched what is described as a joint investigation into a myriad of Musk regulatory issues, primarily involving Tesla.
00:21:00.860He is also now not the largest shareholder, because yesterday Vanguard, which is the second in line for the top of the heap for the Great Reset, Vanguard came in and bought up a ton of shares.
00:21:19.340Oh, and one other thing, the the people in in Twitter have decided to sue him for violations of, you know, not really not revealing fast enough that he was buying these shares.
00:21:38.780You know, I've said several times that Trump they thought that Trump was the river, but he was the dam.
00:21:43.400What you're seeing is without President Trump in the White House, the consequences of the benefits of President Trump, which is an understanding of the enemy class and an acknowledgement that people have to go on offense.
00:21:56.340And sometimes just going on offense simply means disrespect and invading spaces that they have regarded and decreed as sacred.
00:22:08.600When Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer invaded the stage in New York, people don't even remember this anymore.
00:22:15.140I think it was CityPank was sponsoring a Julius Caesar play in Central Park, New York City Central Park, where every night President Trump was ritualistically murdered on stage.
00:22:26.940And when Posobiec and Laura Loomer crashed the stage in front of the audience, this was regarded as heresy and like, how could you do this?
00:22:34.980How could you interfere with our play where we're murdering the president at Central Park?
00:23:09.220For the first time, people are playing offense and they're losing their minds because that's not how the game is supposed to go.
00:23:17.780Correct. So what is what do you think?
00:23:21.920How does this end for Elon Musk and for Twitter?
00:23:25.420I mean, basically, their their idea, the slogan of the great reset set should be if I can't have you, no one will.
00:23:35.720And and that's what they're trying to teach.
00:23:38.680Elon, you are not stepping out of that box.
00:23:42.180We we have the financial resources to cripple you.
00:23:46.360And if that doesn't work and shame in the public square doesn't work, well, then we have the government as well.
00:23:53.460Yeah, I've I've I've said several times that I'm sure you agree, Glenn.
00:23:57.480It's often or almost always preferable when authoritarian regimes have to show their hand.
00:24:03.160Yes, it's much more expensive for them in every way, especially because moderates who don't really have a stake in the game and don't care one way or another.
00:24:11.820People just apathetic when they see the heavy hand of government going down and they see things like this happening.
00:24:18.600It's going to alienate them, be like, wait a minute.
00:24:57.980There's lots of people in his circles or maybe, you know, two or three degrees removed.
00:25:01.600People like Peter Thiel who know the nature of the game, people in San Francisco, people who are now in Austin, who are realizing this is what we're up against and this is how we're going to play.
00:25:12.700And I got to tell you, if you're the guy who thinks you're going to put people on Mars, when you play, you play to win.
00:25:24.540Let me go to your neighborhood in New York where you used to live and what happened in your former neighborhood.
00:25:32.480Yeah, it's been a rough couple of months to get personal, Glenn, because first of all, the city where I was born, Lvov in Ukraine, was being hit by missiles.
00:25:39.340Then the apartment where I lived in New York for 16 years, I was half a block away from that train station, got shot up.
00:25:46.540And then the next train stop just yesterday or two days ago, or rather, a kid was shot in the street.
00:25:52.100I've made this point, you know, it was very hard for me to leave New York.
00:25:58.400I moved to Austin over the past summer, as many of your listeners know.
00:26:01.800I don't think people realize just how bad these cities are going to get.
00:26:06.020And if anyone, because there's no mechanism of turning them around.
00:26:08.300So if anyone out there, and what else is interesting is once you leave these places, you know, I moved to the nation of Texas, looking at this footage, it feels like I'm looking at another country.
00:26:17.980Because that was not the New York I knew.
00:26:20.600Like, obviously, 9-11 happened, things like that.
00:26:22.780But in the sense of, you know, just this carnage and knowing no one to do.
00:26:26.780And I point out the police were pretty much helpless to even catch him.
00:26:30.340It had to be some random kid on the street.
00:26:33.460And the other thing that's disturbing, which I wonder if you've touched on elsewhere, is every outlet at first mentioned his race, and then they edited to remove it, including the New York Post, which is largely right of center.
00:26:46.700I have no understanding of why this is.
00:26:54.840And someone showed me the cached footage.
00:26:56.940The New York Post originally had the identification, which everyone else had, 5'5 black male, 170 pounds, and then they changed it to 5'5 male.
00:27:08.280This is a manhunt for someone who shot up a subway station, and thankfully, no one got killed.
00:27:12.880Yeah, the New York Times, one of the stories I read, did not identify him as African American, but just identified his writings and videos from the web as bigoted against blacks.
00:27:57.500And we sat down with him because he was trying to understand what was going on, and he started to, the world started to crack open for him because he was like, wait a minute, wait, what happened?
00:28:09.720And we sat down, and I just put a chalkboard together, and I said, do you know this story?
00:29:39.580Can you imagine, Michael, if you would have said anything like that?
00:29:44.940You would have been gone immediately and erased from public record.
00:29:48.860Well, I'm an anarchist, so I've said some pretty bad things.
00:29:51.960But in all seriousness, how about we just enforce the Second Amendment?
00:29:57.320Because if there were several honest citizens on that subway station who were packing heat, things would have ended up very, very differently.
00:30:05.400That subway station, obviously, I'm very familiar with it.
00:30:31.700I mean, that's almost impossible to do.
00:30:35.220Well, and just you with the smoke inhalation, I mean, he had several bombs and the gum jam and so on and so forth.
00:30:41.900Yeah, it's a very, very lucky thing, and we're very fortunate.
00:30:44.860And it's also we're very fortunate that he didn't leave the subway and just start shooting somewhere else.
00:30:49.220I mean, the number of stations out there is just dozens.
00:30:52.180So this is also very disturbing in terms of other types of terrorism because he showed very clearly how easy it would be to do something like this.
00:31:00.120And God help us if someone else gets the same idea.
00:38:19.200We saw that in yesterday's inflation data.
00:38:21.700What people don't know is that 70% of the increase in inflation was a consequence of Putin's price hike because of the impact on oil prices.
00:38:49.240He seems to be angry a lot of the times.
00:38:52.020And this is actually coming from some people in the White House saying that he gets a little out of control with his anger once in a while.
