00:00:11.720 I mean, Stu, it was a work of art today, don't you think?

00:00:14.700 I think it was among the five shows that we did this week, and that's incredible.

00:00:19.480 It really is.

00:00:20.260 It really is.

00:00:22.160 Our computer system went down, unbeknownst to the audience the whole time.

00:00:33.480 And you can tell.

00:00:35.280 But it was funny.

00:01:36.560 Today's podcast, it's Friday.

00:01:46.180 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:53.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:57.360 Let's see.

00:01:58.040 We've got Bill O'Reilly talking about the news of the day.

00:02:00.340 We've got a couple of big stories today.

00:02:02.060 The rest of the affidavit part of the warrant on Mar-a-Lago is by a judge, must be released by noon today.

00:02:15.200 So we're waiting for that at any moment.

00:02:17.400 We will cover it and read it to you as we get it, assuming that we get it before this program is over today.

00:02:23.280 The second thing is Zuckerberg.

00:02:26.420 Could we please play cut one of Mark Zuckerberg in an interview with Joe Rogan?

00:02:32.400 Listen to this.

00:02:33.960 How do you guys handle things when they're a big news item that's controversial?

00:02:39.780 Like there was a lot of attention on Twitter during the election because of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:02:47.060 Yeah, we have that too.

00:02:48.460 Yeah.

00:02:48.680 So you guys censored that as well?

00:02:50.160 So we took a different path than Twitter.

00:02:53.960 I mean, basically the background here is the FBI, I think, basically came to us, some folks on our team.

00:02:59.820 It was like, hey, just so you know, like you should be on high alert.

00:03:03.840 There was we thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election.

00:03:08.780 We have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump of that's similar to that.

00:03:18.180 So just be vigilant.

00:03:19.120 So our protocol is different from Twitter's.

00:03:22.040 What Twitter did is they said, you can't share this at all.

00:03:25.480 We didn't do that.

00:03:26.760 What we do is we have if something is reported to us as potentially misinformation, important misinformation, we also have this third party fact checking program because we don't want to be deciding what's true and false.

00:03:39.400 And for the I think it was five or seven days when it was basically being being determined whether it was false.

00:03:49.440 The distribution on Facebook was decreased, but people were still allowed to share it.

00:03:55.840 So you could still share it.

00:03:57.060 You could still consume it.

00:03:58.260 So when you say the distribution has decreased, how does that work?

00:04:02.420 Basically, the ranking in News Feed was a little bit less.

00:04:04.600 So fewer people saw it than would have otherwise.

00:04:08.280 So it definitely.

00:04:09.620 By what percentage?

00:04:10.820 I don't know off the top of my head, but it's it's it's meaningful.

00:04:13.840 But I mean, but basically a a lot of people are still able to share it.

00:04:20.400 We got a lot of complaints that that was the case.

00:04:22.640 You know, obviously, this is a hyper political issue.

00:04:25.560 So depending on what side of the political spectrum, you either think we didn't censor it enough or censored it way too much.

00:04:30.040 But right.

00:04:30.740 But we weren't sort of as black and white about it as Twitter.

00:04:33.520 We just kind of thought, hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view as a legitimate institution in this country, it's a very professional law enforcement.

00:04:42.320 They come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something that I want to take that seriously.

00:04:46.940 Did they specifically say you need to be on guard about that story?

00:04:50.660 I know.

00:04:51.520 I don't remember if it was that specifically, but it was it basically fit the pattern.

00:04:56.540 It was interesting.

00:04:57.560 I listened to a good chunk of this interview last night because I wanted to get the context.

00:05:01.600 I've seen this.

00:05:02.000 Sure, sure, sure, sure.

00:05:02.540 First of all, you know, it's interesting because you do you forget about the pressure they're getting from the other side, too.

00:05:09.660 A lot of times I we talk about how we're all annoyed at Facebook and Twitter and all these places there.

00:05:14.820 The other side is putting more pressure on them about making sure they do censor this stuff.

00:05:20.100 And he went through that pretty interesting way.

00:05:22.700 It's interesting when you listen to him, isn't it?

00:05:25.260 Yeah, because you because he that's what he was saying to me.

00:05:28.780 Right.

00:05:29.080 When I said at the table, he said, Glenn, the pressure.

00:05:32.260 The pressure is just as heavy on the other side.

00:05:36.060 I don't want to get involved in any of it.

00:05:38.740 And he really goes into that.

00:05:39.660 He basically says, I don't want you could say he doesn't want any any responsibility for this whatsoever is essentially his point.

00:05:46.360 Now, whether you believe him on that is another story.

00:05:48.160 Correct.

00:05:48.380 It was interesting to hear the lead up to this because Joe Rogan, I think five or six questions, 20 minutes before this question happened, he was leading to this question.

00:05:59.100 I really seem like he I mean, he's you could tell he wanted to get something on this turned out to be quite smart interview.

00:06:06.960 Yeah, the interviewer.

00:06:08.000 Yeah, he's really good.

00:06:09.160 And the other thing was, I think you get from from this because it doesn't specifically say he sort of avoids that part of it where he says, I don't know why it started.

00:06:17.480 You can understand them coming and saying, hey, there could be Russian influence.

00:06:20.180 There could be.

00:06:21.180 And we all know that some of that stuff goes on.

00:06:23.460 Hey, be vigilant.

00:06:24.120 And they thought this was the part of this.

00:06:26.920 He's not saying necessarily the FBI came to him and said, you've got to stop this Hunter Biden story.

00:06:31.380 But he doesn't deny it either.

00:06:32.720 Yeah.

00:06:32.940 And it fits.

00:06:34.060 He said at that worst or I mean, at best, he said it fits the parameters of the story they were worried about.

00:06:42.500 Right.

00:06:42.680 You know what I mean?

00:06:43.120 Yes.

00:06:43.320 So and remember, the FBI had that story a year before and they had already.

00:06:51.200 We found out yesterday they had already told their FBI agents, do not look into it.

00:06:56.160 Yep.

00:06:56.600 It's I mean, we're really blessed to have that computer guy save a copy.

00:07:01.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:02.200 And give copies out or that thing would have been gone.

00:07:04.280 We would have never heard of it.

00:07:05.520 And I think here when if you're looking at this with a critical eye, I think you're more concerned about the FBI than you are Facebook here, which is interesting.

00:07:15.660 I think we've been talking about the the big tech platforms, which they're guilty of a million things.

00:07:20.280 I'm not letting them off here.

00:07:21.540 Yeah.

00:07:21.680 But at least the way this story is told, my suspicions more much more about the FBI and what they were telling Facebook rather than Facebook necessarily coming in and trying to make these decisions on their own.

00:07:32.780 You know, he doesn't.

00:07:33.300 Everyone talks about him as like an android.

00:07:36.000 He actually came comes off as relatively normal in this interview.

00:07:39.940 Uh huh.

00:07:40.720 He should sit in the same room with him.

00:07:42.980 You know, he's either an accomplished sociopathic liar or he's doesn't really have control of his company.

00:07:53.260 And I'm not sure which it is.

00:07:55.220 He might.

00:07:56.080 I mean, he might be a sociopath.

00:07:57.840 I didn't.

00:07:58.220 But he's he is.

00:07:59.960 You listen to him.

00:08:01.620 He's very logical.

00:08:02.940 Yeah.

00:08:03.160 He's very heartfelt.

00:08:05.340 You know, he'll look you in the eye and say these things.

00:08:08.140 And you're like, OK, well, he does have a point on that.

00:08:11.120 You know what I mean?

00:08:11.680 Yeah.

00:08:11.860 And I think there's a level of this where these guys want to make a bunch of money.

00:08:17.040 Yeah.

00:08:17.160 They have some sort of idea of what they want the world to be, surely.

00:08:20.180 But like they also want to make a bunch of money and they don't want to be in constant political controversies.

00:08:24.340 And they'd love for someone to take all of this off their table.

00:08:27.940 Like they'd love to not be able, like to not have to worry about it.

00:08:31.160 This is why they do the fact checker thing.

00:08:32.640 Right.

00:08:32.760 He even says it in the interview.

00:08:34.340 We do the fact checkers.

00:08:35.100 Like who's who's looking at the fact checkers?

00:08:36.760 Right.

00:08:36.960 Yeah.

00:08:37.420 I mean, the fact checkers are flawed.

00:08:39.600 Rogan asked this.

00:08:40.240 He said, why?

00:08:40.820 Well, how can we tell the fact checkers are biased?

00:08:43.340 And his basic point was like, I mean, he didn't say this exactly, but his basic point was, I don't really care.

00:08:49.960 I just don't want to have to make the decisions.

00:08:51.320 I don't want to be I don't want us to be responsible for it.

00:08:53.660 Like, it's just like, well, you are when you don't know who the fact checkers are.

00:08:57.580 The same thing with the algorithms.

00:08:58.500 Right.

00:08:58.880 Like, you can say the algorithm is making the choice, but human beings have an impact on that.

00:09:02.800 But the bottom line is, I think, like what he wants is no responsibility, which unfortunately for him is not.

00:09:10.180 That's not how this is going to work out.

00:09:11.760 I mean, people are going to come to him on both sides and say, you need to take responsibility for your platform.

00:09:17.040 I want to play a cut from Rob Schneider.

00:09:19.760 He's on, you know, SNL.

00:09:22.020 And we were talking about Saturday Night Live.

00:09:25.420 He is shockingly a fan of this program.

00:09:28.720 I'm always shocked when somebody who I know is a fan of the show and will admit it out loud.

00:09:35.140 He did.

00:09:36.780 Here's what he said about comedy and SNL.

00:09:40.140 Listen to this.

00:09:40.800 When Hillary Clinton lost, which is understandable that she would lose, not exactly the most logical person in the room.

00:09:48.180 And then when Kate McKinnon went out there on Saturday Night Live in the cold opening, she started dressed as Hillary Clinton and she starts playing Hallelujah.

00:09:56.940 And I said, I literally prayed to her, please have a joke at the end.

00:10:01.060 Don't do this.

00:10:01.920 Please don't go down there.

00:10:03.720 And there was no joke at the end.

00:10:04.840 And I went, it's over.

00:10:06.620 It's over.

00:10:07.520 It's not going to come back.

00:10:09.320 It really is the end of.

00:10:11.440 It's gone.

00:10:11.940 You can take the comedy routines, the comedy routines, you can take the comedic indoctrination process happening with each of the late night hosts and you can exchange them with each other.

00:10:24.320 That's how you know it's not interesting anymore because there's no, there's no, it's not an independent voice anymore.

00:10:29.760 It's just all indoctrination by comedic imposition.

00:10:32.160 And you used to work in Saturday Night Live when a conservative and a liberal could work side by side and you'd hit both sides.

00:10:43.220 Yeah.

00:10:43.600 Well, that was the whole point.

00:10:44.700 We always lean more left because we were more liberal because that's where all the girls were. 1.00

00:10:47.880 Right.

00:10:48.180 Let's be honest.

00:10:49.360 That's what, that was the whole, I got in the show business.

00:10:50.960 And I realized that, hey, look, I'm five foot five, barely.

00:10:54.960 I'm Filipino.

00:10:55.740 I look kind of weird and whatever.

00:10:57.380 And I said, I could have to do something to get these beautiful girls because this ain't working. 1.00

00:11:01.260 And so, and so you get wrapped up into this and I guess I am a liberal, but we'd lean that way, but we also called it when it was necessary to be called.

00:11:10.540 I thought there was no way that you would have hit Barack Obama and Joe Biden as hard as at least Joe Biden.

00:11:21.460 Cause there was tons of things about Joe Biden.

00:11:25.320 There wasn't, they stayed away from it.

00:11:27.460 And truthfully, they just like, you know, and Lorne Michaels will say this.

00:11:31.120 And, you know, he'll say the liberals, they're just, they're more sensitive.

00:11:35.700 They can't take jokes.

00:11:37.900 And it's, it's, it's true.

00:11:39.300 But like, I will say they were still doing great stuff.

00:11:42.180 The real genius of Saturday Night Live is Jim Downey, the head writer.

00:11:44.800 And he wrote this and he's also a conservative.

00:11:46.220 Um, he wrote a great bit, like the great, the last great political bit was, um, during when Obama and Hillary in the primaries and, uh, in the press and how the press were deferential to Obama.

00:11:59.040 And he wrote this really funny thing.

00:12:00.620 He said, Hillary, so according to, you know, the Syria and the, the, you know, what's happening in Libya.

00:12:06.680 And, uh, do you think that, that support that going against Assad and go, and then also supporting the, and Hamas is, uh, Hamas is what the creep of Hamas coming in, uh, in Lebanon.

00:12:16.680 And there's a, do you think that, that, that, that the process would be, and they said, very complicated.

00:12:20.200 And they said, so Senator Obama, who's your favorite basketball team?

00:12:27.000 And I said, well, that's brilliant.

00:12:29.060 And that's really funny.

00:12:30.200 Cause that's kind of the press, the press was so, you know, and so, and that's funny.

00:12:34.760 And I think at the end of the day, like all entertainers, including me when I'm going out performing and I talk about all this stuff, but my job is to entertain.

00:12:43.100 Funny is coming back though.

00:12:44.960 I think so.

00:12:45.940 I mean, I'm, I've been ostracized from show business.

00:12:48.200 You can probably tell.

00:12:48.840 But you're here.

00:12:52.840 At no point in anyone's life has been, you know, I'm on, I'm going up.

00:12:57.020 I'm going up.

00:12:57.860 I'm on the Glenn Beck podcast.

00:13:00.320 That's Rob Schneider, the podcast.

00:13:02.560 It releases tomorrow, wherever you get your podcast.

00:13:04.860 It's very, very funny, uh, and insightful.

00:13:08.100 You know, I don't want to wait.

00:13:09.860 I honestly want to get access to it today.

00:13:11.320 There's no way to do that.

00:13:12.540 Wish I could give you some access to blaze tv.com.

00:13:15.860 What would I do if I went there?

00:13:17.160 If you go to blaze tv.com slash Glenn and use a promo code Glenn, you'll save 10%.

00:13:21.140 Now, not you.

00:13:22.800 I've banned you from being even a member.

00:13:25.240 Really?

00:13:25.580 Yeah.

00:13:26.100 Yeah.

00:13:26.420 But if I, if I show, it doesn't even air.

00:13:29.400 That's why I don't want you to watch the network because we just keep you busy just to keep

00:13:34.320 your, well, that's actually quite nice.

00:13:36.540 But, uh, if that's what you're doing, that's a, that's a chair to black. 0.99

00:13:40.180 Right.

00:13:40.420 But I will say, uh, you do get early access to all the podcasts, right?

00:13:43.220 With the, with the blaze tv subscription.

00:13:44.620 And this is really good.

00:13:45.720 You can watch it on YouTube, uh, tomorrow.

00:13:47.940 Uh, you can watch it now at blaze tv tomorrow on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.

00:13:56.160 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:57.960 And we really want to thank you for listening.

00:13:59.840 Mr. Bill O'Reilly cheese.

00:14:08.360 Where do you want to start the biggest story of the week?

00:14:11.540 Well, you know, I want to start in a more general capacity because, um, you have, uh, the midterm

00:14:18.460 elections, which could put an end to some of the madness.

00:14:22.960 And so the progressive left, which has made unbelievable strides under Biden knows that.

00:14:28.000 And now they're working in conjunction with the media to put out these phony polls that

00:14:34.240 show the Biden administration surging in popularity and the Democrats in the generic ballot, um,

00:14:41.360 beating the Republicans and all of this.

00:14:43.520 It's not true, but it could have, uh, an effect if it's not countered by people like you and

00:14:50.660 me.

00:14:51.580 Um, because we live in a country where half of the voters don't know anything.

00:14:57.640 And I'm not being super silly as back arrogant.

00:15:01.080 I'm not, it's just a fact.

00:15:03.660 They live in a world of their own, um, a world they create out of cyberspace.

00:15:08.460 They don't pay attention.

00:15:09.720 They don't understand the big picture.

00:15:12.160 They don't understand anything other than gas costs me more.

00:15:15.800 And so does brain, but that's all they have to stand.

00:15:18.620 And, and so they're subject to unbelievable propaganda, but if Americans and, and I'm the Republican

00:15:26.080 party don't start to really up the urgency of this.

00:15:30.240 Well, that part of this is because of Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell has been heard to

00:15:35.500 say that all we're going to do is just keep pointing out how bad the Democrats are.

00:15:40.940 That way we won't lose anybody.

00:15:42.660 Are you out of your mind?

00:15:45.000 I don't know what Mitch McConnell says.

00:15:47.060 I don't care what he says.

00:15:48.920 Um, there isn't a central force in the Republican party now at all.

00:15:54.260 And really there isn't in the democratic party either.

00:15:57.300 Cause Biden's not in control of his situation, but the democratic machine allied with the media

00:16:03.480 out of K street in Washington, um, where these political action committees, um, operate, uh,

00:16:11.120 they are well organized and the Republicans aren't.

00:16:15.300 So there isn't this urgency of message.

00:16:17.900 I mean, when you get a poll in Los Angeles, it shows that a progressive left is well out

00:16:23.280 in front of a guy who says, look, I'm going to clean up the town.

00:16:26.640 And you just look at, and that poll is probably accurate.

00:16:29.680 And you say to the people in Los Angeles, okay, if this is what you want, this is what you

00:16:35.240 got.

00:16:36.020 You better get a gate and you better get a gun where security guards, because this is

00:16:41.720 totally out of control and you're voting for it.

00:16:44.700 You're voting for more of it.

00:16:47.200 So that's the big story.

00:16:48.800 I mean, it comes a point in history and you know that I am the history guy where a citizenry

00:16:56.080 has to make a decision, a collective decision.

00:16:59.220 Correct.

00:16:59.680 And, and to you and me, it's so clear, right?

00:17:03.160 It's so clear.

00:17:03.980 There isn't two sides to the story.

00:17:06.300 Like there might've been with a Bill Clinton or even a Barack Obama.

00:17:09.980 There aren't two sides to the story.

00:17:12.580 This is a massive government takeover of everything in this country to diminish your personal freedom.

00:17:21.740 That's what this loan thing's all about.

00:17:23.780 I know.

00:17:24.140 But if the government wants to run education, pre-K to post-graduate, they want to run it

00:17:31.380 all so they can indoctrinate, just like you do with the total twins ad, the students from

00:17:37.580 cradle to when they're out.

00:17:39.340 Yeah.

00:17:39.540 This is a massive step toward that.

00:17:43.020 We will pay if you go along with us.

00:17:47.220 If you agree with us, we'll pay for a lot of your education.

00:17:51.360 They want to run personal protection, second amendment. 1.00

00:17:54.960 They don't want you to have personal protection.

00:17:57.780 This is the federal government.

00:17:59.120 But most of all, they want to run the economy to tell you, the American citizen, what you

00:18:05.080 can and can't have.

00:18:07.080 This is all tied in to the progressive vision.

00:18:11.320 And I'm not a conspiracy guy.

00:18:12.740 I mock most conspiracies.

00:18:14.880 But you can see how this has happened in the past to other countries and how is now being

00:18:21.340 attempted in the United States.

00:18:23.240 Yeah, I've never really liked this the most important election of our lifetime because

00:18:27.460 I've heard it my whole life.

00:18:28.720 This is this could be the last midterm election under the United States of America as we know

00:18:36.620 it the Constitution by 2024 could be gone if there's no speed bump in Congress.

00:18:45.180 There's we've got to stop this.

00:18:47.340 The the the executive orders bill, I've I've always been against executive orders when they

00:18:55.700 are just there.

00:18:57.060 I mean, we're writing we're not legislating anything anymore.

00:19:00.620 And I don't like executive orders.

00:19:03.040 Now, I think executive orders have to be stopped.

00:19:07.240 They just have to be stopped because we are in a dictatorship when a president can do what

00:19:12.340 he's trying to do.

00:19:13.640 That's a dictatorship.

00:19:16.240 But you're not going to stop it unless you have a Republican president elected in 24.

00:19:22.400 Correct.

00:19:23.100 So there's no mechanism to stop it.

00:19:25.520 So the founding fathers, they wanted a certain type of government, but they realized all of

00:19:31.320 them in their personal letters and papers that this might not happen.

00:19:34.860 OK, let me let me go to talking about personal papers.

00:19:38.600 The redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit is supposed to be made public

00:19:46.100 now redacted.

00:19:47.840 Are we just going to see a bunch of pages with nothing but black bars over it?

00:19:52.740 Yeah, I mean, look, what you can expect to see is a generalized rationale for the search.

00:20:05.120 You're not going to get any names.

00:20:06.780 You're not going to know what the person, all the grand jury that Trump took.

00:20:11.480 You're not going to know any of that.

00:20:13.020 I don't even think you'll get specific documents that they were looking for.

00:20:17.080 Don't think you're going to get that.

00:20:18.080 There's nothing here.

00:20:18.820 Then that's a nothing.

00:20:19.680 Look, there's nothing in this whole thing.

00:20:23.000 I know me.

00:20:24.640 All right.

00:20:25.000 This is just another example of a government trying to destroy an individual, in this case,

00:20:35.100 Donald Trump.

00:20:36.360 So the government, the Biden administration trying to destroy the man because they know

00:20:41.760 that he still has a massive amount of support.

00:20:46.320 And the Republicans who hate him are siding with the Democrats, which is really, look,

00:20:54.620 I know Trump better than anybody knows him.

00:20:57.200 And I understand the eccentricities of the man and that he did do damage to himself and

00:21:03.080 the country by being immature and undisciplined.

00:21:06.040 And I've told it to him more times than you can even imagine, but he governed the country

00:21:12.860 well.

00:21:14.000 He didn't.

00:21:14.640 And that is not in dispute.

00:21:17.040 If you look at the border, if you look at the economic deals that he made.

00:21:22.700 Again, it can't be done by executive order.

00:21:26.460 It had, I mean, we wouldn't be having this problem if we would have had Republicans with

00:21:30.140 a spine.

00:21:30.540 Let me switch topics here.

00:21:33.360 The FBI is losing credibility so rapidly.

00:21:38.100 We have now the FBI not only with the Mar-a-Lago thing, but we also have FBI agents, whistleblowers

00:21:45.720 at the highest levels, according to Grassley, saying that the FBI was ordered not to talk

00:21:51.660 about Hunter Biden.

00:21:52.840 It was they were ordered not to look at any of that.

00:21:56.100 Um, the, um, uh, Mark Zuckerberg was on Joe Rogan and he talked about how the FBI came

00:22:03.740 to him and said, you know, there's going to be some Russian disinformation coming out.

00:22:08.220 You know, don't, don't run with it.

00:22:09.980 So we have that.

00:22:11.700 Plus we also have the story that the people who stole Ashley Biden's, uh, diary, which I'm

00:22:18.240 all for them being arrested.

00:22:19.680 They stole her diary, but this has really damning information in that, uh, in that diary.

00:22:27.540 They arrested those two people, but nobody's looking into the Hunter Biden thing.

00:22:32.880 No arrests have been made on this at all.

00:22:35.660 What is the game plan of the FBI?

00:22:39.380 It doesn't really matter.

00:22:40.940 Does it, Beck?

00:22:41.580 So when, and I do believe this will happen, the house becomes Republican in November.

00:22:51.140 And when that happens and they're all sworn in, in January, the first thing the Republicans

00:22:57.460 will do is hold hearings on the FBI.

00:23:01.860 And then these whistleblowers will come in and they'll say what they are going to say under

00:23:06.900 oath and that will be the end of the FBI's reign of power.

00:23:13.380 Okay.

00:23:13.940 Because it'll then be destroyed and charges, actual charges might come from that.

00:23:22.680 That's number one.

00:23:23.440 But I have to tell you, Bill, I'm concerned that I think we're a, a country, the United

00:23:28.540 States of blackmail.

00:23:30.080 They have been monitoring these congressmen and everything else.

00:23:34.460 And, you know, these congressmen are not the best moral character.

00:23:38.460 Are you sure that the, the intelligence agencies and, you know, look at the power that, that

00:23:45.860 the FBI had under Hoover.

00:23:49.540 Yeah.

00:23:50.060 I mean, I know it cause I wrote killing the mob and everything is in there about it, but

00:23:54.880 it's that different age now.

00:23:57.120 So that's the FBI, but here's the worst FBI thing.

00:24:01.700 You ready for the worst Beck?

00:24:03.040 Sure.

00:24:04.460 They didn't even look into who leaked the, uh, Alito memo.

00:24:11.040 Do you know that for sure?

00:24:13.360 Yeah.

00:24:13.960 Because if they had, they would have made an arrest.

00:24:17.460 There are only maybe 20 people.

00:24:20.620 I know.

00:24:21.200 Possibly.

00:24:22.120 I know.

00:24:22.980 And probably out of those 20 over maybe six or seven.

00:24:27.000 But doesn't that, but doesn't that, but doesn't that also fall to John Roberts because they

00:24:32.600 do have their, their own, at least security force that can hire out, uh, to investigate.

00:24:41.420 I guess.

00:24:43.420 I, I don't know.

00:24:44.580 Uh, but I do know that if Trump were president and this happened, you would have had an arrest

00:24:51.540 already.

00:24:51.980 Yeah, you would have.

00:24:52.880 So when you see something that simple, all right, that blatant, that you have a person

00:25:01.480 inside the Supreme court, there's not a lot of them.

00:25:04.480 All right.

00:25:05.420 And they can't find that person who leaked that memo in a historical fashion, which makes

00:25:12.920 us a banana Republic.

00:25:14.100 If we can't even keep secrets at the Supreme court level, we're banana Republic. 0.89

00:25:18.600 And so it is a terrible thing, but there is a resolution to this.

00:25:24.520 If the house goes Republican, Bill O'Reilly, a guy who knows how inflation works, uh, too

00:25:33.660 many dollars chasing too few goods.

00:25:36.860 Um, so you want to, the, the, uh, the economy is overheating.

00:25:40.720 We got to slow down the economy.

00:25:42.540 How do you do that?

00:25:43.840 You make sure that people don't have the money to spend.

00:25:46.780 What Joe Biden did, uh, with this, uh, with this bailout of people's student loans is

00:25:55.580 absolutely incredible.

00:25:57.060 Bill talk to me a little bit about the fallout of this, what you think, if it's going to

00:26:01.980 stand, um, Nancy Pelosi flip-flopping, uh, and what it's going to do to the economy. 1.00

00:26:09.660 Well, I can't predict the economy.

00:26:11.580 Nobody can.

00:26:12.340 We still have a big consumer engine here in this country.

00:26:14.920 People are out.

00:26:15.660 I was at Yankee stadium for the Mets Yanks on Tuesday, 50,000 people there spending money

00:26:21.440 and buying, you know, $8 hot dogs.

00:26:23.560 So I can't predict the economy.

00:26:25.880 Um, the loan forgiveness thing, uh, will be, uh, obliterated if there is a Republican president

00:26:33.240 in 2024, uh, that will go.

00:26:37.000 It's a 10 year, uh, expenditure.

00:26:39.800 I estimate the expenditure.

00:26:42.060 If the Democrats continue to hold power to be at about 700 billion, uh, the country cannot

00:26:48.300 afford, obviously to keep running up this kind of debt.

00:26:51.360 Biden's not going to stop.

00:26:52.820 The only reason they do this is to buy votes.

00:26:55.440 Anyway, most of the money is wasted.

00:26:58.420 It's so complex.

00:27:00.180 Uh, people don't understand who's going to get the loan, how it's tied into the department

00:27:05.060 of labor.

00:27:05.960 I mean, it's just unbelievable.

00:27:08.140 So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:27:09.760 You, you, you say that this is going to has to wait till the next president.

00:27:14.960 Do you not think this is going to go to the Supreme court?

00:27:19.080 Now we'll get there.

00:27:20.720 Um, Biden will veto any attempt to reign it in.

00:27:24.180 Um, so, but you know, it's only really two years away now.

00:27:29.440 Um, this is how fast time goes.

00:27:31.860 I want to tell your audience back, cause I know you're very smart and big audience around

00:27:35.240 the world.

00:27:35.740 A couple of things.

00:27:37.080 Um, I did an interview with Newt Gingrich this week on billoreilly.com.

00:27:40.940 Everybody should watch that interview.

00:27:42.580 The way I interview these people is totally different than anybody else.

00:27:46.080 And you know that.

00:27:46.920 Yeah.

00:27:47.300 Um, and I got a lot of micro information about really what's happening because Gingrich,

00:27:52.420 he went through this, all right, the whole thing, um, in the contract for America and

00:27:59.200 all that.

00:27:59.580 So if you really want an astute analysis and get away from the propaganda you see on television

00:28:05.400 and newspaper news, watch that.

00:28:07.800 The second thing is that people are getting hopeless now and I shouldn't.

00:28:12.580 So yes, there are States like mine, New York and California and Illinois, almost irredeemable

00:28:19.060 at this point, but also States like Florida and Texas.

00:28:22.420 And other places that are wising up that are saying, you know, we want our freedom.

00:28:29.060 We want to hold on to our personal freedom.

00:28:31.620 I mean, people in California, New York, I'm shocked.

00:28:34.240 They, they don't seem to respect their own personal freedom.

00:28:37.800 They want a government to tell them what they can and can't do every single facet of life.

00:28:43.300 I've never seen anything like this ever.

00:28:46.860 Why do you want to sacrifice your personal autonomy to an incompetent boob like Joe Biden?

00:28:52.900 Why would you ever want to give Nancy Pelosi power over you or Donald Trump or any other 0.87

00:29:00.060 politician?

00:29:01.560 You know, you've got to fight for your independence and we're not there because that message is

00:29:08.320 being suppressed.

00:29:09.940 Well, that message also, you know, Newt Gingrich had the contract for America.

00:29:15.240 I have been ringing the bell in Congress and Senate for a year contract for America.

00:29:22.600 How about a new one?

00:29:23.760 They have to do it.

00:29:24.360 And they won't do it.

00:29:25.420 It's not going to happen.

00:29:26.140 It's not going to happen this time around because there's no central leadership like

00:29:32.280 Gingrich brought to the house.

00:29:34.060 Well, then Kevin McCarthy should definitely not be the guy in the house.

00:29:38.920 He should definitely not.

00:29:40.140 If he can't get that done, then he should definitely not be the leader of the house.

00:29:45.200 Period.

00:29:45.680 Whatever.

00:29:46.280 I don't follow that very closely because I don't, I know the games that are played.

00:29:51.180 I want the American people to wise up to see what is happening in a non-paranoic way and

00:30:01.600 to discuss it with their children, their families, their friends and say, you know, this is bad.

00:30:07.940 This is way worse than you think it is.

00:30:10.260 When the powerful corporate media allies with the progressive left as it has, it's trouble.

00:30:18.140 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:30:21.900 If you watched his no-spin zone for years, he's still doing no-spin news.

00:30:28.360 Every night, BillOReilly.com.

00:30:34.140 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:43.560 Riley Moore is with us.

00:30:45.620 He's the West Virginia State Treasurer.

00:30:47.260 Hello, Riley.

00:30:49.340 Hey, Glenn.

00:30:50.180 How are you?

00:30:50.660 Thanks for having me back on.

00:30:51.840 You bet.

00:30:52.420 I wanted to ask you if my feelings are valid here.

00:30:58.760 And you may not want to get involved, but I think Texas, what they did, sucked.

00:31:07.000 And I think because, if I'm not mistaken, Texas, at least in school books, Texas is a lot like

00:31:13.140 California.

00:31:13.700 What Texas does, a lot of the red states do. 0.95

00:31:16.800 What California does, the blue states do.

00:31:22.060 When Texas just decided to take on BlackRock alone and only the E, so they're protecting energy, but not the people,

00:31:30.820 and then only took on BlackRock and not the banks, is that a good thing?

00:31:39.500 You know, Glenn, I applaud Texas for putting BlackRock on there, but I hear your sentiment.

00:31:47.420 And I'm disappointed.

00:31:49.280 I'm disappointed.

00:31:50.040 I'm disappointed because you look at the list of those other banks, European banks.

00:31:56.140 I don't really care about credit suites that much here in the United States.

00:31:59.820 I don't care about UBS.

00:32:01.700 I mean, certainly I do because they're part of the movement.

00:32:05.460 But in terms of the entire ESG movement in this country, it's our own financial system that is doing this to us.

00:32:15.220 I mean, this is why you have to, yes, the E is the way that we can really fight this.

00:32:21.840 But they're all doing the S and the G, right? 0.98

00:32:25.200 Whether you're talking about JPMorgan Chase paying for abortions, the rest of these financial institutions,

00:32:30.820 we've got to list these folks to stop this nonsense. 0.59

00:32:36.000 Because they can just shift their money around.

00:32:38.640 And it outrageous me that only BlackRock, as you said, all the other banks are foreign banks, nothing about U.S. banks.

00:32:48.020 Why would they have done that?

00:32:49.940 What deal did they make?

00:32:53.340 I am not sure.

00:32:55.360 You know, I don't know.

00:32:56.240 I've not gotten any insight into what happened there.

00:32:59.720 But I've got to say it's disappointing.

00:33:02.360 And to the listening audience around the country, we have to, in these other states where this bill has passed, this cannot be the bar.

00:33:12.320 We've got to move beyond this.

00:33:14.680 Or if we're just looking to check a box, we all lose.

00:33:18.540 And now we're all under control.

00:33:20.720 God.

00:33:22.040 It is.

00:33:22.680 I mean, I just don't get it.

00:33:25.840 I'll sit there and I'll talk to congressmen and senators and states and the nation all over.

00:33:31.840 And, you know, you'll see those who roll their eyes.

00:33:35.080 You'll see those who deeply get it.

00:33:37.320 And those who are just starting to hear about it.

00:33:41.000 And it's like, wake the F up.

00:33:44.780 Wake up.

00:33:46.140 Our liberty is literally on the line.

00:33:50.480 And I just don't get it.

00:33:52.780 I don't get it.

00:33:53.780 No, no, no.

00:33:55.320 And we let this go on for a long time.

00:33:59.020 This didn't start last year.

00:34:00.820 This didn't start two years ago.

00:34:02.200 It didn't start three years ago.

00:34:03.120 To get to the point we are right now where they're able to use our own capital against us, control our economy, control policy through that capital.

00:34:14.920 I mean, they're setting the policy in this country, not through the ballot box, because they can't get it done at the ballot box.

00:34:21.160 We have to turn this back.

00:34:23.840 We have to stand up and fight.

00:34:25.760 And this certainly falls short, in my view.

00:34:29.660 Yeah, and I'm concerned just about, I mean, Texas.

00:34:33.960 I don't know what's wrong with us.

00:34:35.180 I really don't know what's wrong with us.

00:34:36.680 How is Florida?

00:34:37.440 Florida is really good on ESG.

00:34:39.040 Are they not?

00:34:40.460 They are.

00:34:41.220 They are.

00:34:41.760 And, you know, each state is set up differently.

00:34:45.100 And as I recall correctly, the governor has more authority over banking contracts and the pension boards and things of that nature.

00:34:53.600 Every state is set up differently.

00:34:54.720 And Governor DeSantis has been doing a tremendous job because he's taken back control of those proxy votes.

00:35:01.360 That's something we're doing next year here in West Virginia.

00:35:03.760 In our legislative session, he's able to do it through executive authority.

00:35:07.640 We need legislation to do it.

00:35:09.480 Explain what the proxy vote is.

00:35:12.340 This is so ingenious on the left.

00:35:16.060 It's beautiful the way they've done it.

00:35:18.620 It's elegant, simple, and deadly to freedom.

00:35:23.200 Explain what the proxy vote thing is.

00:35:25.540 It really is.

00:35:27.340 It's unbelievable.

00:35:28.620 You couldn't write a better story.

00:35:31.800 So the proxy vote, and this is part of the problem, you have a duopoly.

00:35:36.600 There's two proxy vote advisors out there, ISS and Glass-Lewis.

00:35:42.320 Pension boards look to those advisors on how to vote.

00:35:47.420 They control roughly 97% of all proxy votes.

00:35:52.480 They advise on 97% of all proxy votes.

00:35:55.060 When we contract, let's say, the state of West Virginia or Texas or Florida with BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, whoever it might be, in the contract, they control those proxy votes, right?

00:36:07.200 Because we're in passive investment vehicles like an index fund or things like that, where there are votes attributed to that.

00:36:14.980 They control those votes.

00:36:16.860 Then they accumulate those votes as asset managers and then vote against our own interest here in this country or in the state of West Virginia,

00:36:25.840 like you had happened with ExxonMobil, where they were able to accumulate enough votes to say, you know what, you're an oil company.

00:36:35.760 The good idea would be, let's vote to reduce oil production by 20% last year.

00:36:41.920 Bet we could use that right now.

00:36:43.700 But that's not part of their agenda, right?

00:36:45.900 So, State Street, Vanguard, BlackRock control 25% of all votes cast publicly traded companies in this country.

00:36:57.340 20% of all votes cast in every major company.

00:37:03.160 45?

00:37:04.660 Or 25.

00:37:05.640 25, okay.

00:37:07.020 25% of all major companies in the U.S.

00:37:10.300 Think of that.

00:37:11.160 Power.

00:37:11.520 It's all publicly traded companies, 25%.

00:37:16.720 It could be a little bank in West Virginia.

00:37:19.520 It could be, you know, Boeing, ExxonMobil, whatever.

00:37:24.040 They control 25%. 0.95

00:37:26.220 Now, you think about, like, majority shareholders in some of these publicly traded companies.

00:37:30.780 We're not talking, like, 50%, 30%.

00:37:34.080 I mean, it's smaller percentages because, obviously, there's so many shareholders involved in publicly traded companies.

00:37:40.440 So, it doesn't take much to have the majority in power.

00:37:45.160 Yes.

00:37:47.800 Riley, who are the best states on this?

00:37:52.900 Who do you think is – well, first, before I ask that, did we put into any legislation – you're seeing anybody put ESG or any entity or program like that?

00:38:06.480 Because they're going to change the name ESG because we've made it very unpopular.

00:38:11.780 That's right.

00:38:12.620 You know, just how woke doesn't exist now and critical race theory is not real.

00:38:16.900 Right.

00:38:17.100 So, yes, there will be – you know, they control language, obviously, in this country.

00:38:22.620 So, they will change that as well.

00:38:25.860 You know, I think there's good legislation that has been passed in Kentucky, in Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

00:38:32.120 I think they have a good bill in Texas.

00:38:34.440 Now, they do have the ability in that bill in Texas.

00:38:37.700 Maybe this is just their first cut at it.

00:38:39.640 He has the ability, the comptroller, to go back and revisit that list every year at his discretion.

00:38:49.800 I think the bill is good.

00:38:52.560 It could be strengthened.

00:38:53.840 I understand Texas state legislature is looking at doing that again.

00:38:56.660 I hope so.

00:38:58.480 I'm hoping they do.

00:39:00.260 But, you know, there's a multifaceted approach to this.

00:39:02.520 It's dealing with the banks, the asset managers, proxy voting.

00:39:07.280 I mean, we have to fight this on all fronts.

00:39:09.740 And then you have the attorney generals that are coming in on this SEC role from the government side,

00:39:15.940 where they're trying to control emissions all the way down to company supply chains,

00:39:20.560 where they're going to have to report this, which is total insanity.

00:39:24.540 And so you have the federal push that's also happening.

00:39:27.840 Congressman Andy Barr has been a real leader in this.

00:39:31.280 Congressman out of Kentucky.

00:39:33.000 He's been doing a great job.

00:39:35.280 If we can get back control of Congress, I think that will go a long way in the White House

00:39:40.360 to bring us back to where we need to be in our pension funds in particular with his bill.

00:39:46.040 It just says all you can do is assess risk and return.

00:39:50.000 That's it.

00:39:50.520 And then I want to see some antitrust lawsuits out there on.

00:39:56.220 Well, that's one thing I'd like to ask you.

00:39:58.560 Well, this just seems like if somebody would get the information and track,

00:40:04.600 I know the ESG funds are tracking lower than the S&P 500.

00:40:08.960 I don't know what the threshold is, but there's got to be a class action suit against all of these people

00:40:15.800 for taking my retirement money and then telling me I should expect lower returns.

00:40:21.120 For a few years, that's that's not what I asked you to do.

00:40:24.680 I didn't ask you to put your money into something that is an ideological argument.

00:40:30.900 I asked you to make me money.

00:40:32.560 Why is there not a class action lawsuit being thought of?

00:40:37.820 I know that there is one being thought of, and there has been discussions, I know,

00:40:42.220 amongst attorney generals and other people within the federal government,

00:40:46.580 our elected officials there in Congress, about the idea of an antitrust violation going on here,

00:40:52.540 not only with the asset managers, but don't forget that duopoly that you have

00:40:56.860 in terms of proxy advisors, Glass-Lewis and ISS, 97%.

00:41:03.000 I mean, is that not a monopoly?

00:41:05.980 I don't know what that meant.

00:41:07.000 I don't know what you just said.

00:41:08.540 What does that mean?

00:41:10.680 So Glass-Lewis and ISS, who are the proxy advisors on all of these pension boards,

00:41:17.020 they do the advisement for 97% of the market.

00:41:22.860 Oh, my gosh.

00:41:24.100 Oh, my gosh.

00:41:26.200 I mean, this is brilliant.

00:41:27.760 I mean, Riley, this is really, I mean, this is the crime of the century.

00:41:31.760 What's happened?

00:41:32.580 Maybe the crime of humanity.

00:41:34.560 The way the progressives have put this whole thing together, it is going to be admired.

00:41:39.720 I mean, hopefully for years, like we admire the Nazis being so evil and so brilliant 0.99

00:41:48.060 in the way they put that thing together.

00:41:49.920 They dupe people for so long.

00:41:51.720 I think this is akin to that kind of stuff.

00:41:54.940 This is brilliant planning, really brilliant planning.

00:41:59.220 Well, you mentioning the Nazis brings me to a great point here. 0.63

00:42:03.080 We've sent out a letter with 17 other state treasurers on Morningstar.

00:42:10.060 Morningstar rates all the College 529 savings plans in the country.

00:42:15.460 Sounds like a good thing.

00:42:16.460 Well, they have an ESG scoring arm in this, and they've decided to add in BDS,

00:42:24.380 Boycott, Divest, Sanction, Israel, as part of their scoring system.

00:42:28.880 So they're bringing in the anti-Semitic aspect of this as well.

00:42:33.080 And so if you don't think this is about the great reset and the new world order

00:42:38.600 that these people want to put into place, I got news for you.

00:42:43.140 Didn't a lot of states pass bills that they wouldn't invest if you were a BDS participant?

00:42:51.180 Yes, we have that in West Virginia, and many other states have anti-BDS legislation.

00:42:57.400 So our attorney generals have sent letters as well to them saying that they are going to look at this

00:43:03.980 to see if this is a violation of our law.

00:43:07.500 And if it is, then we are going to have to break contract with them.

00:43:12.120 Good.

00:43:13.000 I got to tell you, this is...

00:43:15.420 The problem, they got us in a box, right?

00:43:17.860 Because everybody who looks at a college savings plan looks at Morningstar's ratings.

00:43:22.380 And they have a monopoly on it.

00:43:26.700 We've just boxed ourselves into a corner.

00:43:29.180 And it's time to get out.

00:43:30.200 It's time to get out.

00:43:31.060 And I thank you, Riley, for really being one of the good guys and leading on this.

00:43:34.820 Thank you so much.

00:43:36.180 From West Virginia, the state treasurer, Riley Moore.

00:43:38.860 Na na na na na.

00:43:40.380 Na na na na na.

00:43:40.880 Na na na na.

00:43:41.480 Na na na na na.

00:43:42.760 NA na na na.
