00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today, Bill O'Reilly is here to react to all of the news from the week, including the Flynn investigation, as well as the latest developments in the economy and in politics.
00:00:11.840 We got the unemployment rate right before the show and 14.7 percent. We'll go into the details on that.
00:00:19.100 What does it mean in perspective? We'll get into all of the details on that, as well as the the salon owner here in Texas who was able to get released from prison yesterday or released from jail yesterday.
00:00:34.000 Thanks to big efforts from activists like you, if you happen to be one, and also the governor of the state. We'll get into that as well.
00:00:41.900 Go to BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn. Get 30 bucks off. I think they're entering this deal next week.
00:00:46.960 So if you want to get that, you've got to act now. And here's the podcast.
00:00:57.940 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:05.280 Oh, man.
00:01:08.940 Okay. All right. It's not.
00:01:11.840 It's not exactly good news.
00:01:17.660 Just in the first two weeks of April.
00:01:19.980 Now we have just the first two weeks in April rolling into this average.
00:01:24.420 This is not the whole month.
00:01:26.180 This is the first time we're getting a look at the unemployment number since we started the lockdown.
00:01:32.880 So in two weeks, how long have we been going now? Almost eight weeks, Stu?
00:01:39.680 Yeah, I guess we're coming up on this is the end because the six the six weeks to stop the spread ended last week.
00:01:45.360 So this would be the end of the seventh week.
00:01:48.020 All right. So we only have two of those seven weeks and it's still getting worse.
00:01:52.600 I think we actually unemployment rate.
00:01:56.560 Yeah, we're further along than that.
00:01:58.020 I think we actually we'd have four because it was we really that makes me feel better.
00:02:03.160 The last two weeks of March and the first two weeks of April, I believe, are here.
00:02:07.800 So we still are missing the last couple of weeks, which we've seen multiple millions more go on the unemployment rolls.
00:02:13.100 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yes. Sorry. Go ahead.
00:02:14.780 So we have we have lost 20 million jobs, 20.8 million jobs have been lost and our unemployment number has gone from the best it's ever been.
00:02:27.400 What was it? 3.5 or 3.8?
00:02:29.560 3.5. Yep.
00:02:30.640 It's not the best it's ever been, but it's ever been in a very long time.
00:02:35.840 To the worst we have seen in quite some time.
00:02:40.180 We're at now 14.6. I don't have it in front of 14.7.
00:02:45.720 14.8. 14.7.
00:02:48.040 Everything but the 14.7.
00:02:49.380 So it's getting better than that.
00:02:50.180 Yeah, exactly.
00:02:51.500 The 14.7.
00:02:52.820 The worst. I mean, clearly the worst.
00:02:55.260 It's been in a very, very I mean, the worst it's since the depression, since the depression, for sure.
00:03:00.380 And, you know, when they talk about speed, here is another issue.
00:03:03.360 The worst, the worst in the Great Recession for one month was a loss of 800,000 jobs.
00:03:09.040 The worst of all time, record of all time, was September 1945.
00:03:15.680 And that was a loss of 2 million.
00:03:18.680 We lost 20.
00:03:19.700 No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:03:20.540 Mm-hmm.
00:03:22.120 Let me put this into perspective.
00:03:23.560 Sure.
00:03:24.760 That last one that was so bad was actually very good because we were laying people off because we could stop making tanks.
00:03:33.780 Right, yep.
00:03:34.120 And when we stopped making tanks and ships and airplanes, all right, we were manufacturing an entire war machine for the world.
00:03:47.720 And that month, when the war was over, we only lost 2 million jobs.
00:03:54.220 This, in a month, we have lost 20 million, 10 times the amount.
00:04:02.420 Mm-hmm.
00:04:03.040 And we haven't started, stopped fighting a war.
00:04:06.220 And there is no, you know, 19, you know, 1950 Chevy on the horizon that's going to come quickly.
00:04:14.560 It's not like, oh, we just have to retool.
00:04:16.220 Hey, everybody's coming home.
00:04:17.280 Let's build houses.
00:04:18.820 Uh-uh.
00:04:20.140 Yeah, I mean.
00:04:20.840 So, this one's really bad.
00:04:22.700 You do have some of these jobs that hopefully snap back.
00:04:25.720 I mean, I'll tell you, I went out, I only went out for four meals last weekend because I thought you were crazy.
00:04:33.360 Crazy.
00:04:33.960 Four different times.
00:04:35.240 The second time we went out, I mean, we were desperate here.
00:04:38.520 The second time we went out, we talked to a guy who worked at a restaurant and the restaurant was, you know, in the middle.
00:04:44.340 Picture this, really nice restaurant, relatively new, last year or two.
00:04:49.220 Uh, in, built in between three hotels.
00:04:52.720 Not a lot of people at the hotels these days.
00:04:55.160 That's a kind of an issue.
00:04:56.280 Yeah, right.
00:04:56.340 So, even when you open, who's going to your restaurant?
00:04:58.820 So, there's basically nobody at this place.
00:05:00.680 We're talking to the guy for a long, uh, a long time.
00:05:03.540 And it was the first day Texas had allowed restaurants to be open.
00:05:06.560 And he said, you know, immediately when this happened, he got laid off.
00:05:11.460 And he was waiting, you know, just like so many Americans.
00:05:16.040 With the intent, though, the belief that eventually he was going back to the same job.
00:05:20.900 Uh, and that is what happened.
00:05:23.100 He is now back at the place.
00:05:24.580 And, and again, that's not going to be the case for everybody.
00:05:27.000 But some of those jobs, as these things reopen, will snap back.
00:05:30.960 It's just a matter of how many.
00:05:32.760 And again, they're running at 25% capacity, which they were not hitting.
00:05:36.760 The jobs that will snap back, that are, that are pretty easy, are anything to do.
00:05:43.100 Well, for instance, Mexico is now having a beer shortage.
00:05:46.240 Okay.
00:05:46.680 Because beer was not essential.
00:05:48.880 So, those jobs are coming back.
00:05:51.040 I mean, if you're in the alcohol industry, you might see a boom.
00:05:54.520 Uh, those jobs aren't coming back.
00:05:56.960 Specifically, I'd be a little nervous about.
00:05:58.680 Corona, maybe.
00:05:59.800 Yeah.
00:06:00.420 I wonder if they change their name in the end.
00:06:02.400 I doubt they do.
00:06:03.400 I mean, but people, people, it did affect them.
00:06:07.480 They really did think that I'm not drinking Corona beer, which is stupid.
00:06:11.760 It, it, it doesn't come from Corona beer.
00:06:14.540 Um, but anyway, uh, the, the jobs that you have that are entertainment based.
00:06:23.300 I talked to Michael Cole.
00:06:24.680 You know who Michael Cole is, Stu?
00:06:27.440 Uh, Michael Cole.
00:06:28.620 He's a big, big, um, uh, concert, uh, promoter and producer.
00:06:34.240 He did the Rolling Stones.
00:06:36.160 He does, you know, all the big names.
00:06:39.440 Um, and, uh, he wrote to me last night and, and, uh, and I said, how long before you're,
00:06:45.640 you're back to work?
00:06:46.980 He said, I think it's going to be 18 months before any industry of, of entertainment's
00:06:51.880 really coming back.
00:06:52.800 And that's with my fingers crossed.
00:06:55.580 I mean, that, that job is, and I think restaurants are going to be in this.
00:07:00.900 I think people are anxious to go out to restaurants, but just not crowded restaurants.
00:07:04.280 So restaurants will be open and they'll be doing it.
00:07:07.740 But I think people are not going to be standing in line.
00:07:10.260 You know, the, the cheesecake factory where you're, it's just jam packed and you're all
00:07:15.340 standing in line to get in those kinds of restaurants.
00:07:17.660 I think are going to be, are going to be a little more difficult, um, to, uh, snap back.
00:07:22.560 So I don't know how restaurants are going to make enough money to make a real profit,
00:07:26.280 but maybe they could keep their, their businesses open.
00:07:29.040 The ones who are really in trouble, if you worked for a small business, uh, that is,
00:07:34.720 I have friends, they wrote last night and said they are opening up their bookstore and
00:07:39.780 they said, um, you know, they've got this little bookstore in Indiana and it's, they're
00:07:43.520 just great people.
00:07:44.620 And they said, um, uh, we opened it up and the first day all of our friends came in and
00:07:50.940 bought a book and all of our, you know, loyal customers, they all bought a book.
00:07:54.780 Uh, they said, but it has been ghost town since then, but they're hoping for travel because
00:08:01.600 they're in this, this cute little, you know, vacation kind of spot.
00:08:05.100 And they said they make most of their money in the summer.
00:08:07.400 Now I think travel is, um, I think travel is going to snap back, but it's going to be
00:08:14.320 the old way.
00:08:15.320 I think, I don't think people are going to get into an airplane right away.
00:08:18.040 I think they're going to be driving a lot.
00:08:20.020 I know I, we're going, we're planning on going vacation on vacation, uh, and we're planning
00:08:24.360 on driving across and not for any other reason other than I just like driving.
00:08:28.820 Um, but I, and I, and I hate airports, but there's no reason to get into an airplane if
00:08:34.420 you can drive, uh, right now.
00:08:37.280 Yeah.
00:08:37.560 So I think that's going to be, did you see Frontier is offering seats for as low as $35
00:08:42.940 if you want to buy the seat next to you?
00:08:47.140 Oh, really?
00:08:48.060 You just sit to add on essentially 35 bucks.
00:08:51.040 Yeah.
00:08:51.900 If you don't want to sit next to somebody, it's 35 bucks.
00:08:54.520 That's smart.
00:08:55.240 Holy cow. 0.89
00:08:56.080 That's a smart way of handling it though.
00:08:57.200 Very smart.
00:08:57.760 You know, we've seen some pictures yesterday of planes that are still packed as the, as
00:09:02.760 the old days, you know, like, I mean, middle seats all filled.
00:09:05.740 A lot of them are going very empty, but occasionally those things still happen, which is just at
00:09:09.740 this point so strange.
00:09:12.000 Um, you know, but I think that there's that, uh, like, I, I don't know if I told you the
00:09:15.920 story, Glenn, I was, you know, looking at, uh, the flight for the upcoming Superbowl,
00:09:20.600 which I, you know, book well in advance, uh, to try to get not nosebleed prices.
00:09:26.200 And I thought this time, like, I can really get hooked up.
00:09:28.520 I mean, this is going to be like $12 to go to Tampa in February, if this game even occurs,
00:09:33.560 which they did announce the schedule last night and there's supposedly keeping it on
00:09:36.780 schedule for the moment.
00:09:37.960 Um, but, uh, what the, uh, something happened that I've literally never seen in my entire
00:09:44.760 life.
00:09:45.460 I don't, I doubt anybody in this audience has ever seen it.
00:09:48.080 Maybe if you're a frequent business traveler, you've seen it.
00:09:51.420 Never seen it before.
00:09:52.380 The first class ticket was less expensive than the coach ticket.
00:09:59.080 I have no explanation as to why that occurred.
00:10:02.100 Uh, you know, maybe it was a computer error or maybe just people are just not buying that
00:10:07.180 type of seat at all.
00:10:08.300 But I was like, eh, first class of Superbowl, screw that.
00:10:11.140 I'm doing it.
00:10:13.200 Wow.
00:10:13.720 And the good thing is not going to last.
00:10:14.960 No, I know.
00:10:15.640 It's just, you know, if you're smart, if you're smart, well, if you're, you're risky, you could,
00:10:20.220 I wonder if you could buy a bunch of those first class seats and then resell them when
00:10:24.980 everybody, when things go normally and everybody's trying to get to the Superbowl, you've got
00:10:29.540 a whole bunch of first class seats that you could charge nosebleed prices for.
00:10:33.740 Stubhub for airline tickets.
00:10:35.180 I don't know if that exists, but I like it.
00:10:37.300 I'm going to go for it.
00:10:37.900 Yes.
00:10:38.140 It's a good idea.
00:10:39.320 Uh, I mean, why not?
00:10:40.680 I mean, is it illegal to do that?
00:10:42.540 I don't think you can do it because of all the security stuff about all because security.
00:10:46.260 Yeah.
00:10:46.940 It's a great idea though.
00:10:47.920 I like, I like the, I like the way you're working the system.
00:10:50.660 Damn Al Qaeda.
00:10:53.460 I could have been a rich man.
00:10:55.280 I could have been somebody.
00:10:57.200 They will, by the way, uh, give you an opportunity.
00:11:00.220 You can change flights right now.
00:11:02.960 Again, I don't know if anybody else is in this world.
00:11:05.060 I always think of these situations and try to figure out ways to what's the best.
00:11:08.540 Is there any way to take advantage of this situation in, you know, in some, you know,
00:11:12.900 long-term thing that like, no one's thinking of.
00:11:14.880 And I was like, ah, flights, it would be interesting.
00:11:16.540 If you go on and you book a flight right now, at least I know it's American. 1.00
00:11:20.560 And I think a bunch of other airlines until May 31st there, you can change it.
00:11:24.820 Uh, you can change any of the times for no cost.
00:11:27.720 So, uh, you have to look at obviously all the details and you know, your airline, your
00:11:31.520 area.
00:11:31.980 But I thought that was interesting in that, like, if you're planning a vacation, you're
00:11:34.640 like, I don't know, is it going to happen in August?
00:11:36.440 It might be worth just booking the flights.
00:11:39.080 Wow.
00:11:39.440 And you can always change them later.
00:11:40.960 The prices are cheap and you can always go on and change, uh, you know, the, the actual
00:11:46.200 timing of it.
00:11:47.180 If this stuff doesn't wind up panning out.
00:11:49.140 Yeah.
00:11:49.300 And I don't think that's going to last very long because I will tell you, I, I live in
00:11:53.060 a place where I can see the flight pattern into Dallas, the planes, you know, all stack
00:11:58.140 up.
00:11:58.360 And so at night, it's kind of cool to watch all these planes, these lights in the sky.
00:12:02.460 You're like, there are UFOs, man.
00:12:04.920 They're all UFOs.
00:12:06.460 Uh, they're all lining up and you can see them kind of coming in for the flight pattern.
00:12:10.360 Um, and we have noticed that the skies have been a little dark, uh, lately here in Dallas,
00:12:16.440 but it is picking back up or starting to see the flight pattern start to pick up again,
00:12:20.680 which is encouraging.
00:12:22.600 Yeah.
00:12:22.760 You're encouraging.
00:12:23.300 By the way, go, go, just by the way, I just want to say tonight at the end of the
00:12:28.340 that, uh, uh, on blaze TV for subscribers only a UFO show.
00:12:33.200 Yes.
00:12:33.860 Oh, I'm going into, this is going to be great.
00:12:37.240 I'm going into, uh, all of the latest, uh, releases of the UFO to guys who actually worked
00:12:45.820 for the government in that program, uh, you know, studying the UFOs going to be with us
00:12:52.240 tonight.
00:12:53.200 Oh, it's, that's a good, I like that.
00:12:55.000 That's a fun distraction right there.
00:12:56.160 It's going to be good.
00:12:56.780 I need to have that.
00:12:57.320 Yeah.
00:12:57.460 Yeah.
00:12:57.700 It's going to be good.
00:12:58.840 Yeah.
00:12:59.240 Uh, quickly, I was just going to say that we're seeing, uh, the data on mobility, which
00:13:04.500 is one of these things that's popped out of this crisis and that you realize they, they
00:13:08.960 really do have access to a lot of, of your data and your movements.
00:13:13.660 Um, but they, a lot of these services are like putting out these mobility numbers, which
00:13:17.180 is showing how much people are moving.
00:13:18.400 And you see, first of all, you see before the government got involved at all, the, uh,
00:13:23.120 mobility, people going to various places dropping, you know, like a stone and water, right?
00:13:28.740 Like, I mean, it's just going, it has nothing to do with the government people.
00:13:31.760 This argument has been so much about the government policy, which is obviously important at some
00:13:36.100 level, but generally speaking, all of these things were happening with whatever the government
00:13:39.940 said that we could do them or not.
00:13:41.380 They all said, you know, like all this movement happened long before any government bans, people
00:13:46.180 stopped going to restaurants.
00:13:47.520 People stopped going, uh, going on these trips.
00:13:50.080 They were doing it on their own because they were scared for their lives.
00:13:53.020 Right.
00:13:53.740 Um, and the same thing is happening now before the government is releasing these things,
00:13:58.080 you know, saying, Oh guys, you guys can go outside again.
00:14:00.680 People are just starting to go back outside.
00:14:02.920 Now they've taken their time.
00:14:04.240 They understand now the risks they've been able to internalize it.
00:14:07.220 They've been able, they realized that we've been able to build up some of the stockpiles
00:14:10.520 on God forbid something happens.
00:14:12.260 And that was what this was pitched at.
00:14:14.160 And I think was the appropriate, uh, an appropriate understanding of what the situation was.
00:14:19.780 Uh, now we're at the end of that.
00:14:20.980 People are leaving whether they want it or not.
00:14:23.520 The government policy doesn't seem to have much of a factor at all in what people are
00:14:27.040 really doing.
00:14:27.980 No.
00:14:28.480 Did you hear about Mark Cuban?
00:14:30.200 This is creepy.
00:14:30.960 I think Mark Cuban did secret shoppers here in Dallas and he hired a bunch of people to
00:14:36.240 go out and see what people were doing.
00:14:38.740 He said places were crowded, uh, that they went into and, uh, he'd like to report that
00:14:45.020 those businesses were not really living by all the standards.
00:14:49.200 Mark, what are you doing, man?
00:14:50.600 Shut up. 0.95
00:14:51.640 What are you like the, like a rich snitch?
00:14:54.120 What is that?
00:14:55.540 Stop it.
00:14:56.840 Uh, but he said that the, you know, there were, there were more people out and, uh, and
00:15:01.360 they're just kind of getting back to normal in all ways, which I think is good.
00:15:05.820 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:14.500 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, a man who will not speculate on the, uh, extra extraterrestrial problem.
00:15:22.240 Uh, welcome to it, Bill.
00:15:23.440 How are you?
00:15:24.660 I have a, uh, border at my house is from Venus.
00:15:27.540 Do you really illegal or are they here legally?
00:15:33.160 The problem is the ran it's he's doing PayPal, but I can't take a Venetian curve.
00:15:38.860 Wow.
00:15:39.440 Okay.
00:15:39.840 Well, that sucks.
00:15:41.060 That sucks.
00:15:41.760 Um, all right.
00:15:42.440 So my, uh, let's, I mean, I can bring him in.
00:15:46.760 Ah, no, I think we're all booked up.
00:15:48.240 Um, Bill, let's talk about, uh, let's talk about Michael Flynn and what's happening, uh,
00:15:53.200 there and what the DOJ has come out with.
00:15:56.020 Can you give us any understanding of this in perspective?
00:15:59.260 Of course I can back.
00:16:00.720 Um, I'm a simple man, as you know, and, uh, I look at this not from a journalistic point
00:16:07.620 of view, but from an American point of view.
00:16:11.240 You have the most powerful investigative agency in the world, the FBI.
00:16:15.520 It is now clear beyond any reasonable doubt that the ownership of the FBI, the people
00:16:26.380 who ran it and their top agents knew that an investigation into a presidential candidate
00:16:38.580 and then a president was founded on no evidence whatsoever, none.
00:16:48.000 So the FBI continued to try to find evidence based on no probable cause.
00:16:56.080 So in order to investigate a citizen, you got to have probable cause.
00:17:01.640 You just can't, you just can't walk in your house and say, look, we don't know if you did
00:17:06.180 anything, but we're going to search the house.
00:17:08.880 You can't do that.
00:17:10.040 That's unconstitutional.
00:17:12.100 That's what the FBI did.
00:17:15.020 Okay.
00:17:15.500 Now, hang on, hang on.
00:17:16.620 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on there.
00:17:17.860 Cause I have a question about this so far, so far, I understand it.
00:17:21.720 And that's exactly what, uh, what, uh, bar was saying.
00:17:24.780 They had, they, they knew they didn't have a case.
00:17:28.040 They knew they had, uh, not nothing.
00:17:31.060 So that's like what getting them to lie is kind of like walking into the house, investigating
00:17:37.640 for whatever, hoping to find something and then saying, you know what?
00:17:41.400 I hear he really hates his wife's cooking.
00:17:43.600 When his wife is there, let's ask him, do you hate your wife's cooking? 0.96
00:17:47.520 No, I, I love my wife's cooking. 1.00
00:17:50.040 And he, he lies about that.
00:17:52.620 You not a cannot go into somebody's house and just do that.
00:17:57.060 But you also, even if he was lying, you can't get him on that because you didn't have a
00:18:03.200 reason to be in the house in the first place.
00:18:05.140 In the first place.
00:18:05.860 Absolutely.
00:18:06.560 You're brilliant.
00:18:07.360 That's what's happening.
00:18:08.400 Right.
00:18:08.740 That's thank you.
00:18:09.920 Yeah.
00:18:10.080 Well, I know.
00:18:10.760 Brilliant man.
00:18:11.400 I'm not a simple man.
00:18:12.780 Yeah.
00:18:12.900 Whatever Flynn did, whatever he did.
00:18:17.880 And the big question he has to pick up, Pence has to explain why Pence went to Trump and
00:18:23.180 said he misled.
00:18:25.260 He lied.
00:18:26.280 Yeah.
00:18:26.620 Pence has got to explain it.
00:18:28.180 But anyway, getting back to the really important issue for every one of your listeners, you have
00:18:35.140 a tremendous abuse of power and a crime because this prosecution was illegal.
00:18:44.200 And you not only prosecuted General Flynn, but you tried to disrupt a presidential election
00:18:54.060 in doing so.
00:18:55.680 The only reason they went after Flynn, and everybody should be clear about this, is they
00:19:00.380 wanted Flynn to flip on Trump.
00:19:04.440 They wanted to put all this pressure on Flynn and his son because his son worked with the
00:19:10.180 general in their consulting firm.
00:19:13.120 Trump, hoping that Flynn would say, well, Trump told me to do it, told me to talk to
00:19:19.420 the Russians.
00:19:20.500 That's the only reason they went after the man.
00:19:24.560 So.
00:19:24.700 So, well, I, hang on just a sec.
00:19:25.900 Hang on, hang on.
00:19:26.740 Let me, wait, wait.
00:19:27.620 Let me ask you this question, because I don't, I agree with you that that is one of the reasons.
00:19:32.560 I'm not sure it's the only reason.
00:19:34.280 You know, Barack Obama, it's now been found out that he knew all about it and had uncomfortable,
00:19:39.480 an uncomfortable encounter, you know, inserting himself in into some of this.
00:19:47.280 And Obama was passionately anti Flynn because he had Flynn as part of his of his counsel during
00:19:57.760 his administration fired him because he took such a hard line on Islamic extremists.
00:20:04.360 And Obama warned Donald Trump, don't take him, don't take him, did everything he could to
00:20:10.740 make sure that Flynn didn't come in and reverse a lot of the Obama era policies on on, you
00:20:19.540 know, our fight on radicalized Islam.
00:20:22.580 So is it?
00:20:24.720 Do you think that could have played a role, too, that he was not only trying to destroy
00:20:28.680 Trump, but also if Trump won, he wanted to make sure that Flynn was destroyed?
00:20:35.960 I think that's speculation back.
00:20:39.320 I could not.
00:20:40.360 It's pretty good speculation.
00:20:42.400 Well, it's circumstantial evidence.
00:20:44.920 But I couldn't say that Barack Obama ordered the FBI to get Flynn.
00:20:50.100 I couldn't could not say that.
00:20:52.660 All right.
00:20:53.220 Maybe.
00:20:54.140 All right.
00:20:54.460 Maybe.
00:20:55.580 But that's not going to believe me, that is not going to be in play.
00:20:59.280 What's going to be in play is you've got to indict high ranking members of the FBI.
00:21:06.180 Durham has to bring back enough evidence so that Barr indicts.
00:21:10.660 Now.
00:21:12.940 I think that will happen.
00:21:15.100 Because the outrage in this country.
00:21:17.520 would be so intense if the Trump Justice Department did not file charges against the top level
00:21:29.500 FBI people.
00:21:31.020 So we're talking about Comey, McCabe.
00:21:34.480 Right.
00:21:35.160 Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, and what's his name?
00:21:39.000 Three steps who wrote that handwritten memo.
00:21:42.580 Yes.
00:21:42.740 Those are the five.
00:21:43.760 But remember, I haven't seen what Durham, I don't know anything, what Durham has.
00:21:49.420 But you would think that from what we know, it's made public, those five people are in
00:21:55.220 the kill zone.
00:21:57.260 So say three of them get indicted.
00:22:00.560 Say two of them get indicted.
00:22:02.680 I think that would mollify the American people.
00:22:05.740 But if no one gets indicted.
00:22:08.620 No, I don't want.
00:22:10.460 I don't want just somebody indicted for it.
00:22:12.820 I want this fixed.
00:22:14.400 I mean, I think that's where the American people are.
00:22:16.320 They don't want some political show.
00:22:18.940 You can't get it fixed until there's convictions.
00:22:22.340 No, no, I know that.
00:22:23.940 But I'm saying I think Clapper is another one that is involved deeply in this.
00:22:29.660 There's evidence coming out now about Clapper.
00:22:31.540 And what's the other one?
00:22:32.900 You've got to wait until Durham comes back with what Clapper did or did not do.
00:22:38.120 I know that we're talking about.
00:22:41.360 Look, Clapper.
00:22:42.860 You're so funny.
00:22:44.380 No, I'm just brilliant.
00:22:45.980 And you've got to keep up with me.
00:22:47.920 Clapper, a circumstantial case.
00:22:51.880 You can convict him, but you can't convict him like you can the others, the FBI, because
00:22:57.300 now we know, based on notes, handwritten notes in meetings, we know what they were trying
00:23:04.000 to do.
00:23:04.400 It isn't, he said, he said, there's the evidence.
00:23:08.300 You see it.
00:23:09.280 We haven't seen the evidence against Clapper or Brennan or any of the Obama people.
00:23:15.100 Go ahead.
00:23:15.300 You will.
00:23:15.980 You will.
00:23:16.880 So let me ask you this.
00:23:20.580 I agree with you.
00:23:21.700 We have to have evidence and we have to have strong evidence because I want it clear.
00:23:27.040 I don't want anyone to be able to say what Schiff is now saying, what what's the little fat
00:23:33.860 man Nadler is saying now that that this is just this is just revenge.
00:23:42.140 And this isn't true.
00:23:44.000 And and Barr is out of control.
00:23:47.960 I we have to have real solid evidence.
00:23:51.620 Otherwise, we turn into a banana republic.
00:23:53.840 Right.
00:23:54.240 But I think that they do, because Barr is a very smart man of all of the Obama Obama of
00:24:02.160 all the Trump cabinet members.
00:24:04.820 All right.
00:24:05.800 The two smartest, savviest are Barr and Pompeo.
00:24:14.400 Those are the far and away.
00:24:18.160 The two smartest guys.
00:24:20.500 Barr is telling you in his selective interviews, we're going to get these guys.
00:24:26.980 And he wouldn't be doing it if he had a wishy washy case.
00:24:31.880 The other guy who's going to get it.
00:24:33.860 I don't think he's going to be indicted is Mueller because Mueller did not include in
00:24:39.540 his report much of this stuff that he knew Mueller knew and left it out of his report.
00:24:50.040 Now, I don't know if that's a federal crime.
00:24:52.480 I don't think it is, but it's certainly corrupt.
00:24:56.000 Is it not?
00:24:57.960 Mueller was supposed to report on this whole thing.
00:25:00.460 And he leaves out the FBI corruption.
00:25:03.720 Doesn't put it.
00:25:04.500 We haven't even we haven't even seen anyone pay yet for what happened with the FISA court.
00:25:11.280 And somebody needs to pay for all of this.
00:25:13.860 Otherwise, it's nothing where the indictments are going to come down.
00:25:18.000 They're going to come down in phony warrants.
00:25:20.720 All right.
00:25:21.360 Because that's a that's a felony.
00:25:23.060 And then abuse of power.
00:25:24.980 That's that's a felony for the FBI.
00:25:28.060 The FBI abused their power.
00:25:30.440 All right.
00:25:31.240 By contriving a case against the citizen.
00:25:36.320 A general of all people.
00:25:38.960 But obviously, everybody knows the overarch is they tried to get Trump out of there.
00:25:46.360 That's why.
00:25:48.080 So here's my this.
00:25:50.580 And here's my concern.
00:25:51.520 I had it.
00:25:52.320 It's as high as it gets.
00:25:54.340 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:56.460 All right.
00:25:59.140 You know, one thing that I have been thinking a lot about is schools and and memories of our children of this of this COVID crisis.
00:26:10.380 What's incredible to me is these parades that have been been going on.
00:26:15.560 I just I love these parades.
00:26:17.300 Have you had one yet?
00:26:18.180 Still, have you had somebody come by and do a parade for you?
00:26:20.140 Our daughter had her birthday parade in just a few months late out in front of our house the other day, and she loved it.
00:26:27.520 In fact, my son is now saying he doesn't want a birthday party.
00:26:29.780 He wants the birthday parade thing, which is pretty.
00:26:31.780 It's pretty pretty cool.
00:26:33.560 Yeah, I really liked it.
00:26:34.720 My daughter had a birthday and her parade happened, and it was really it was amazing.
00:26:41.580 It was really amazing to watch.
00:26:44.440 And I wondered, as I watched this, what that memory will be like, because nobody we never had that memory, you know, and they'll they'll be able.
00:26:53.860 I remember the year that everybody was locked in and they had this parade.
00:26:57.320 Well, the one thing that I've thought of from the beginning is all of these seniors and their graduations, seniors in college, seniors in in schools all across the country.
00:27:09.400 You know, you've gone for 12 years.
00:27:13.580 And you don't get to stand up and have, you know, your name called.
00:27:18.400 You don't have that typical graduation.
00:27:20.520 Well, there is a principal in North Carolina.
00:27:25.980 He's actually the 2018 North Carolina principal of the year, and his name is Tabari Wallace, and he decided to do something.
00:27:33.640 Do we have him on yet?
00:27:35.780 He's the he's the principal of West Craven High School, not to be confused with West Craven High School, which is completely different.
00:27:44.940 You don't want to go to the boiler room in that one.
00:27:46.700 It's a bad scene.
00:27:47.920 It's a bad, bad scene.
00:27:48.920 But anyway, West Craven High School, if we can't get him on, that's fine.
00:27:55.140 He was supposed to be on.
00:27:56.040 I guess he's he's not with us yet.
00:27:58.560 But what he did is he he sent out teams.
00:28:04.880 Apparently.
00:28:08.620 He stood in full graduation regalia in the parking lot with a megaphone coordinating all of the cars.
00:28:16.580 The teachers were part of this parade.
00:28:18.920 Administrators, coaches, police officers, firefighters, community leaders.
00:28:23.080 They were all set to go across the district.
00:28:26.440 Now, they had four hours to cover 220 seniors.
00:28:31.920 They broke up into 14 groups, each with a stack of personalized yard signs and a message.
00:28:37.600 You will graduate.
00:28:39.120 And they did their own parade to 220, 220 students.
00:28:48.160 But 485 square miles is what they had to cover.
00:28:52.700 Wow.
00:28:53.140 And they they did the graduation and and stop by all of these students.
00:28:58.920 I just think this is really cool.
00:29:00.540 Oh, he's on now.
00:29:03.180 Great.
00:29:03.700 I'm glad we can talk to him.
00:29:04.880 His name is Tabari Wallace, and he's with us now.
00:29:06.820 Hi, Tabari.
00:29:07.300 How are you?
00:29:08.300 How are you doing, Glenn?
00:29:09.440 It's good.
00:29:09.920 It's good to be on the show.
00:29:11.980 Thank you.
00:29:12.580 I am.
00:29:12.900 I'm thrilled with what you did.
00:29:14.440 I think this is really a cool thing.
00:29:16.160 Tell me about it.
00:29:17.840 Well, what we did was, you know, we do know what the plight of the class of 2020 is going
00:29:22.480 through right now.
00:29:23.580 And the least we can do as a school is to try to fill that void wherever possible.
00:29:28.820 And we all know graduation and prom are two life events that all of us pretty much as
00:29:34.720 adults still remember.
00:29:35.860 So what we did, the county, our county bought the signs and left it up to each individual
00:29:40.980 principal on how to deploy the signs to the seniors.
00:29:43.740 And what we decided to do.
00:29:45.820 So because of the pandemic, our seniors couldn't come to us for graduation, where we'll take
00:29:50.720 a pseudo graduation to their house.
00:29:53.160 So we assembled and we called.
00:29:55.200 I don't know if you read the story, but we service four hundred and eight miles.
00:29:58.800 And we have 13 different clubs or townships, communities up north.
00:30:03.460 Y'all would call them boroughs.
00:30:04.480 But we have we have 13 of those and we split up my staff of 80 join and we have municipalities
00:30:10.680 from each of the service areas, fire department, police.
00:30:14.800 We had our board of education members that represent the area.
00:30:18.220 They were there.
00:30:18.760 We had so many pile in.
00:30:20.080 It was a community event to make sure that we go and surprise and service these seniors.
00:30:25.180 And we all stand out.
00:30:26.300 So they did.
00:30:27.820 Go ahead.
00:30:28.900 Did they did they have any idea this was coming?
00:30:31.520 Did you do this all kind of quietly?
00:30:33.360 This is what I told them.
00:30:35.960 I told them that we had a senior surprise for them that they would never forget.
00:30:40.880 And I've got that relationship with my kids that I said, now, you know, I miss the Wallace
00:30:44.080 do.
00:30:44.740 So y'all need to be home between eight and two o'clock.
00:30:48.120 And the kids know in the past when I say that is some big celebration come in or somebody big
00:30:53.080 that's at our campus.
00:30:54.160 So I said, make sure that you're home between eight and two, and then make sure that you
00:30:58.520 have your parents there, your extended family and cameras ready.
00:31:02.120 So the kids knew something was coming.
00:31:04.460 They just didn't know what it was.
00:31:05.880 And when we pulled up with the fire trucks and the police blaring and everything, and
00:31:10.080 we played the graduation, we played common circumstance over the loudspeaker.
00:31:13.780 A lot of them ran back in and put their graduation garb on because they saw we were in full regalia.
00:31:19.640 It was just a beautiful day, Glenn.
00:31:21.180 That is cool.
00:31:22.320 That is really cool.
00:31:23.440 I mean, it was beautiful.
00:31:24.780 So that will be the graduate.
00:31:28.480 You won't have a graduation later in the summer, right?
00:31:30.820 That is the graduation?
00:31:32.820 Well, we did that just in case this ban, I mean, this pandemic, you know, the social distancing
00:31:38.600 laws carry on through the summer.
00:31:40.800 Our make-up date for graduation is going to be August 1.
00:31:44.880 And if the social distancing laws haven't been relaxed by then, we have a second alternate
00:31:49.440 date for December 19th, and we'll have to bring that inside.
00:31:52.640 We've already consulted with the tourist center to make sure we can have it.
00:31:56.280 But the sign served that when we presented it, each child was told an elevator speech.
00:32:02.200 And we told them, we said, we want you to put this outside your house.
00:32:06.160 And every time you walk in and out your house, to go somewhere or whatnot, we want you to
00:32:09.660 look at that sign and let this serve as a bridge.
00:32:12.200 And this is going to be a bridge that your community, your administration, your teachers,
00:32:15.840 we're going to get you across the traditional stage so you're not robbed of that moment in
00:32:20.340 time in life that we will never forget.
00:32:22.660 And that's why we did it.
00:32:23.540 That's cool.
00:32:23.800 To make sure they knew that.
00:32:24.740 And then the kids get promed that afternoon.
00:32:26.340 If we can have graduation, we're going to give them the prom as well.
00:32:29.640 And they get to have a graduate in the morning.
00:32:31.740 And then we got the prom that night at 7 o'clock.
00:32:34.480 So it's going to be a busy day for the babies.
00:32:35.900 But it's much deserved because we do not want this pandemic to run.
00:32:38.740 So let me ask you this, Tabari, because my kids are both in high school and they're not
00:32:45.160 graduating, but they're still going.
00:32:46.820 And they are really having a tough struggle with this virtual classes, just really struggling
00:32:52.660 and talking to the principals and everything at my kid's school.
00:32:57.260 They're saying this is not unusual.
00:32:59.760 How does your because you're you're known for Carpe Diem.
00:33:05.240 How how are you getting the kids to seize the day on this?
00:33:10.620 I'm looking for some parental tips.
00:33:12.480 OK, what you want to tell, you know, your child and what I would tell all your listeners
00:33:17.880 and the children across America right now is that America cannot afford a 13 gap in learning.
00:33:25.740 There's no way we can we can afford that in developing our future human capital.
00:33:30.060 This is the workforce that is going to pretty much ensure our social security.
00:33:34.760 And so they need to understand that.
00:33:37.140 You know what I'm saying?
00:33:38.160 Yeah, you still believe in social security, but I get it.
00:33:42.100 I get it.
00:33:45.240 They have to keep working, because if your child is in math one and they stop working
00:33:52.060 and they are deprived of a nine weeks worth or 13 weeks worth of work, they're not prepared
00:33:56.780 to go into math two.
00:33:58.560 And I can say that for English one, two and three and English four is British lit.
00:34:02.420 If you haven't mastered the English vernacular, you will not be able to master when you get
00:34:06.280 in the British lit and English four.
00:34:07.600 And that's a graduation requirement.
00:34:09.200 So any student across, you have to keep working.
00:34:12.140 I know that they're saying it's a PC 13.
00:34:14.760 All you're going to get is a pass on your transcript and this and that.
00:34:18.180 But it's not about that.
00:34:19.500 This is one time that grades really doesn't matter.
00:34:22.020 It is about the investment in our student capital and that they do not have a gap in learning.
00:34:28.580 That's why we have to keep encouraging our kids to keep working.
00:34:31.200 And next year, it's going to be a little bit of that if these social distancing laws are
00:34:36.120 not lifted.
00:34:37.320 The NEAE president was just on TV earlier this week stating that we'll probably have a form
00:34:42.740 of A day, B day in regards to next year's learning.
00:34:46.500 That means half of the kids will be in your building on Monday and the other half will be
00:34:50.300 home during digital learning.
00:34:52.380 And then you switch on Tuesday.
00:34:54.860 You see what I'm saying?
00:34:55.640 So that's those are the ideas that are being kicked around right now.
00:34:58.620 So we can have school in August if if if this great united states that we have, if the
00:35:05.120 doctors, the engineers and the scientists, if we don't figure this thing out and get
00:35:09.040 that vaccine deployed and scale by the time August 17th hit, then we're looking at that
00:35:13.820 form of instruction and it will not be the traditional instruction and traditional school
00:35:17.380 that me and you went through.
00:35:19.620 Wow.
00:35:20.780 Well, I I hope we don't have to face that for many parents, many students, but also for
00:35:27.280 the future of America, because it's it's not the same or just jumping into something we've
00:35:31.700 never tried before.
00:35:33.440 And a lot of kids could be left behind and the teachers really have their job cut out
00:35:40.000 for them.
00:35:40.780 This is this is this is the time to become heroic in figuring out new ways to teach and
00:35:47.740 to keep kids engaged.
00:35:49.540 And Tabari sounds like you're the guy who is doing that in in your area.
00:35:53.900 Congratulations on being the principal of the year in your entire state, North Carolina.
00:35:58.440 It's good to talk to you, sir.
00:35:59.500 Thank you so much.
00:36:00.860 Thank you so much, Glenn.
00:36:01.880 It's been a pleasure.
00:36:02.640 Thank you.
00:36:03.780 You bet.
00:36:04.520 Tabari Wallace.
00:36:05.460 You can you can see why he's popular, especially the kids.
00:36:08.200 He just I mean, didn't his.
00:36:10.380 Oh, totally.
00:36:10.920 His joy kind of just jumped out on the first, you know, hey, how are you?
00:36:14.520 Yeah.
00:36:14.880 He has the energy of someone you really like.
00:36:16.840 Yeah, he does immediately.
00:36:19.700 He does.
00:36:20.160 Unlike unlike some of the principals I had in school.
00:36:24.140 Oh.
