00:01:05.660 the Studos America 250th episode podcast of the Power Hour disaster, frankly, where we

00:01:13.260 tried to do one shot of beer per minute for an hour. It was very messy. It was a very messy

00:01:20.220 time in our lives, but it was a lot of fun and a great weekend distraction. It's at

00:01:25.020 youtube.com slash Studos America. Here's the podcast.

00:01:28.260 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:42.080 I don't even know where to. I don't even know where to begin.

00:01:48.360 Ibram X. Kendi. Let's start there with the audio from this, the guy who, you know, wrote

00:01:54.280 the anti-racist baby books and how to be an anti-racist. He's definitely not racist

00:01:59.920 at all. Ibram X. Kendi. Here he is.

00:02:02.740 So when I look at that video, I asked myself if that would have been a 16-year-old white

00:02:11.280 girl in a wealthy suburban neighborhood, would the police officer have sought to disarm this 1.00

00:02:20.040 girl? Would the police officer sought to talk her down? Would the police officer would have used 0.99

00:02:26.340 legal lethal force? And it's hard for me to believe that that would have happened. It's hard

00:02:32.120 to me to believe that that officer would not have responded differently for a different girl in a

00:02:38.420 different community. Right. Because you're nuts. So can I, yeah, can I ask you a question? Why are we

00:02:42.720 interviewing this guy? It's difficult for him to believe that a white cop wouldn't shoot a white girl. 0.96

00:02:49.800 Well, okay. Well, you find it difficult to, in fact, you find it impossible to believe 0.95

00:02:54.440 that white people aren't racist. So why are you, why are we going, they should just say,

00:03:02.560 we were going to interview Ibram X. Kendi, but we can just tell you, he thinks it was a racist move.

00:03:08.700 You do that on everything. You know, sugar pops have gone up in price. We, we were going to have

00:03:15.240 Ibram X. Kendi on, but we just wanted to let you know, he probably thought that was because of

00:03:20.720 racism. Right. If your answer to every single case, no matter how different the circumstances

00:03:26.620 is exactly the same, your value. You're not interesting. The value of your commentary is

00:03:30.700 zero, right? Right. Who cares? Right. And that's what he is. Right. That's a great point. It's like

00:03:35.820 more white people get shot by police, but he can't imagine a white person being shot by police. 0.99

00:03:40.800 Well, what the hell is the point of you? I know. I know. We got it. We got it. Just put a card up. 0.99

00:03:47.340 Ibram X. Kendi thinks it was racist. Okay. Rain today. Ibram X. Kendi believes it's racist.

00:03:54.740 All right. Now here's MSNBC. Now a guest for MSNBC is Joy Reid, Brittany Cooper,

00:04:04.360 a Rutgers University professor said this.

00:04:08.340 The argument for our movements has never been that black people have to be perfect in order for

00:04:13.820 them to deserve dignity, for us to have good policing, for us to be viewed with humanity,

00:04:19.760 for cops to take a breath before they literally get out of the car guns blazing. So that's the first

00:04:25.340 right that this is never what the argument for the movement for black lives has been, 0.99

00:04:29.580 is that you just get to kill black people, particularly when they're not being perfect. 0.98

00:04:33.660 I think about how perfect, as Reverend Sharpton just said, the prosecution had to be in order 0.99

00:04:39.540 to get the conviction for George Floyd. It had to be impeccable. They had to leave no stone unturned.

00:04:45.320 And if that is the standard... Stop, stop. I can't take it. If you're watching the blaze,

00:04:50.280 you have Al Sharpton, you have this Rutgers professor, and Joy Reid, and they're all like,

00:04:55.060 yep, yep. I mean, I think we could just put a card up on MSNBC. It just says,

00:05:02.060 we all think this was racist. Whatever. Or they could have two cards. Trump's fault.

00:05:09.620 Right. Yeah. That's the only two things that could be. And you could have the double card

00:05:12.500 where it says both of those things. It's Trump's fault because it's racist. 0.98

00:05:15.540 Because Trump is racist. Right. My favorite part of that has to be, 1.00

00:05:19.520 though, when she describes the woman stabbing another woman as black people not being perfect.

00:05:25.880 Right. That is a hell of a summary of a stabbing. 0.97

00:05:28.280 So I didn't have a perfect day. I didn't have a perfect day. I killed somebody. I stabbed them.

00:05:33.240 What? You haven't had a bad day? 0.98

00:05:35.360 Do we not remember, not more than a couple of weeks ago, where the officer in one of the recent

00:05:41.200 mass shootings came out and said, look, and he was just quoting the guy who did the mass shooting.

00:05:46.600 And he was like, look, he said he had a bad day. And everyone blasted, blasted the cop for just

00:05:54.820 quoting the person. It could be mainly because a lot of the news networks edited the part where

00:05:59.500 he said he was quoting the person. Now, here they are. That doesn't happen.

00:06:03.920 This is just their opinion, right? This is their opinion. We just think,

00:06:06.840 oh, well, black people aren't just being perfect. And if they're not perfect,

00:06:09.820 they might just stab people. And that's totally fine. 0.86

00:06:12.340 I'm going to stab the S out of you, B, with a knife above your head, ready to plunge into 1.00

00:06:20.920 the chest is a different definition of a bad day than I've ever heard. 1.00

00:06:26.740 I mean, you know what? Hitler, he just had a bad year. 0.72

00:06:31.880 1939, bad year for him.

00:06:33.920 Yeah, very bad year. Not an appropriate way to describe it.

00:06:36.640 No, I mean, he got up, he was having a bad day. This Jewish deli didn't have the bagel ready for 1.00

00:06:45.180 him. He had a bad day. And he's a dictator just not being perfect. That's what we can summarize

00:06:51.040 that as killing people. That's a bad that's more than a bad day. No, it's not. No, it's not. And 0.94

00:06:58.200 you know, here they come out of the car, guns a blazing. Do you think they would have shot a white 0.99

00:07:03.100 girl? Yes. Yes. They wouldn't have negotiated. No, she has a knife above her head saying, 1.00

00:07:11.620 I'm going to stab the S out of you. And she's actively moving towards it. Hang on. Can we talk 1.00

00:07:20.720 about that feeling? What's happening in your life? Let's now let's talk you back from the

00:07:25.420 I mean, what are you going to say? There's no negotiation. And they come out of the car

00:07:32.660 blazing. Yeah. Do you know how amazing that is that that cop what that cop did in Columbus?

00:07:38.560 That is an amazing. I couldn't have processed that. I'm riddled with ADD. I couldn't have

00:07:45.760 processed that scene in 15 seconds. Could you? No, absolutely not. I mean, that was, you know,

00:07:51.300 it was Jack Bauer esque is what it looked like. It was, you know, it's a guy coming in and analyzing

00:07:55.340 10 different moving parts in 15 seconds and doing the right thing. And with 100% certainty,

00:08:02.080 if he had not shot that person at that moment, and the knife did plunge into the other girl,

00:08:08.800 Ibram Kendi and Joy Reid would be on the air saying it was because it was racist. They would have

00:08:12.780 protected a white girl, but they didn't protect her because she was a black girl. That's why they 0.99

00:08:16.860 allowed the stabbing to happen. 100% certainty. That's what they would be saying on the air.

00:08:21.300 Uh, yeah, of course, of course, because the police have to be perfect. Perfect. And even we have

00:08:31.060 found this week, even when they are perfect, not good enough, just not good enough. But the good

00:08:37.420 news is, is that Joy Behar has the solution. Oh, good. And here it is. This is what it looked like

00:08:45.380 to me. And I've looked at the tape and I still can't figure it out. Shoot the gun in the air.

00:08:50.780 If there's a warning, tase some person, shoot them in the leg, shoot them in the behind, 1.00

00:08:56.500 you know, stop them somehow. But if the only solution somehow is to kill the teenager, 1.00

00:09:03.200 there's something wrong with this. There's something very, very wrong with the way these 0.96

00:09:07.920 things are being conducted. Even if the cop had to do it, there's something wrong with it.

00:09:12.680 Even if he had to do it, there's something wrong with that. Yeah. It's called society is out of

00:09:19.680 control. Teenagers shouldn't be stabbing each other in the streets. Uh, that's my idea. And I don't

00:09:27.680 care whose streets it's, I got to tell you, if two of my rich neighbors are across the street 0.99

00:09:34.860 and they're acting like white trash and they're throwing each other down in the lawn, dragging 0.99

00:09:40.340 each other by hair and trying to stab one another, I'm going to call the police. And in fact, if they 1.00

00:09:47.700 aren't, if they are really, you know, I'm going to stab the out of you, I'm going to actually call over 1.00

00:09:53.480 the fence, shoot them or I will shoot them. I mean, if you've got, you have absolutely no choice. 1.00

00:10:03.820 And I love these people. I love these people who have never touched a gun before in their life,

00:10:10.120 never touched a gun for that guy to, uh, shoot that girl with somebody behind her. Remember,

00:10:18.740 don't shoot at anything. You've got to know what's behind your target because sometimes the bullets

00:10:24.680 will go through. So this, this girl that he was trying to protect was half behind the other girl.

00:10:35.120 He shot her four times without wounding the other girl. You know why they don't shoot your legs? 0.96

00:10:44.720 Because it's because it's a small target. You go for the body mass. You never shoot a gun to warn.

00:10:53.500 I'm sorry, Joe Biden. You'll take your shotgun out and shoot it up in the ear. 1.00

00:10:58.740 Uh, joy, uh, when you do that with a pistol, let me just, uh, let me put it into an old timey song 0.99

00:11:05.340 because I know you and your cat walk around in your fuzzy slippers drinking a, you know, cup of gin

00:11:11.520 at four o'clock in the morning going, I used to be somebody. And I know you're listening to all

00:11:16.380 those sad songs. So, uh, bull, let's keep falling on my head. When you shoot a gun up into the sky,

00:11:27.680 I'm dead. I mean, joy goes up. It doesn't go into space and float around. It's not one of those 0.97

00:11:35.360 pieces of space. Like we can't launch any satellites anymore because all of these bullets

00:11:41.140 from all those guys in the wild West, they're all floating around there in space, circling the

00:11:46.860 earth. They come back down. And if it came back down and hit someone, uh, particularly a person

00:11:53.000 of color in that community, they would, Ibram X. Kendi and Joy Reid would be on the air saying it.

00:11:57.280 They would have never done that in a white community. They would have never cared. 0.97

00:12:00.640 They would have called that racist too. I guess maybe you could shoot at the ground, 0.99

00:12:04.680 uh, is the idea. Of course there was two people. Oh my gosh. Are you putting lead in the earth? 0.99

00:12:11.500 On, on earth day too. We, that was just yesterday. Holy cow. They wouldn't do that in a white 1.00

00:12:15.980 neighborhood. We should point out there was a poisoning the water in that minority neighborhood. 1.00

00:12:21.500 They're poisoning by shooting lead into the ground. Right at his feet at that time was a teenager

00:12:27.760 being kicked in the head by an adult. So we don't want to shoot there. Uh, it was, it's just an

00:12:34.480 amazing, like there's just nothing that you can do as an officer, which is why I think as an officer,

00:12:40.140 I would be like, okay, this is a no wind situation. What am I doing with my life? You know, I came out

00:12:44.320 here to help people. I came out here to help people's communities and keep people safe. And no matter what

00:12:49.400 happens, I'm always the bad guy. I'm always the racist. I'm always the murderer. I'm always ruining my

00:12:54.260 own family because of something that I can't control and enjoy read and Ibram Kendi. You're

00:12:59.520 going to call me a racist. If God forbid, I save a black girl's life. So why would I show up to work 0.99

00:13:05.500 the next day? I don't, I don't know how they do it. I would like to add one thing. And when I left

00:13:09.980 this morning, my wife and family said, dad, stop it. Why, why are you going into work today? Find

00:13:15.800 another job. You're going to get killed. You're going to be thrown into jail for doing something 1.00

00:13:20.180 right. And I've been saying, no, I believe in the system. I'm going to keep standing.

00:13:24.840 Why would you go to work as a, I'm asking police officers, why, why are you still going to work?

00:13:33.260 I'm glad they are, but because I am too, you know, but I am, I'm not a, I'm not man enough

00:13:37.900 to do it. I would be screw this. I'm too selfish. I find a different, I would like to, you know,

00:13:43.060 I would just say, uh, I w I would just like to say, look, we should have a box on our taxes that

00:13:49.720 say, I want to play. Uh, I want to pay for the police force and I'll fully fund them. And then

00:13:55.520 we are tax dollars go locally to fund the police. Those who say, Nope, I don't want to. And if you

00:14:03.180 don't pay taxes, if you just don't pay taxes and you're receiving a large sum of money from the

00:14:09.480 government, we still send you a note. Uh, I want police protection in my neighborhood.

00:14:14.800 And if I call, I want somebody to come and not a social service worker, uh, somebody with a gun.

00:14:21.480 If there's something going on, on, I call it's a great idea. You don't even have to tie it to taxes.

00:14:28.080 Just a note. I'd be happy with just a survey. You will send a note to everybody's house and then

00:14:33.220 they can say whether they want a cop to show up or not when, when something goes down. Yeah.

00:14:37.300 They all say they don't want, they all say they, and they, when I say they, I don't mean any large

00:14:42.420 swath of communities. I mean, these activists, these activists are all saying, I don't want you

00:14:48.240 in my community. Okay. Let's go door to door and ask them, would you like police to leave you alone?

00:14:56.860 Good luck with that. Now we may have some problems with like criminals saying no. And then

00:15:02.880 cops don't go out to the criminals house because they're trying to avoid prosecution.

00:15:06.900 There may be some holes in this plan. My point though, is that it's just really

00:15:10.480 better than holes in little girls who were just having a bad day. 0.91

00:15:16.800 I think see how easy it is to win. See how easy it is to win. If you just don't care,

00:15:22.220 people going, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You just like, yes, but it's better 0.99

00:15:28.600 than holes in little children's do. Thank you. Joy. Joy. All right. Back in just a second.

00:15:36.900 I was wondering which joy you were talking about. Joy reader, joy Behar, who is quite possibly

00:15:43.860 the most ill named child of all time. Seriously. I don't even think her parents looked at her and

00:15:53.140 went, Oh joy. She just brings me joy. Her dad had to go. Yeah. You give her a few years. She'll make

00:16:01.300 everybody miserable. So I am trying to eat healthier and I am. But the thing is, I don't

00:16:07.580 like healthy food. I don't like any of it. You've heard of a fat suit, right? I mean, there's got to

00:16:12.920 be, when are we getting a skinny suit? Something that will make me look skinny. Cause I just want

00:16:17.780 treats all the time. I grew up in a bakery for the love of Pete. The bad news is no skinny suit is

00:16:23.200 coming. You actually have to do the work, blah, blah, blah. That's why I am eating built

00:16:27.340 bars. It satisfies my sweet tooth, but it's a protein bar, but not like, you know, that's like

00:16:32.600 eating stuff at the bottom of my chalkboard. Usually this is a hundred percent real chocolate.

00:16:38.040 It's low carb, low sugar. If I'm eating a protein bar as a treat, come on, you gotta know it's good.

00:16:44.200 And I am mint brownie cookies and cream. The new flavors that are coming out all the time.

00:16:48.360 They're fantastic. Go to built bar.com and use the promo code Beck 15 for 15% off your order.

00:17:06.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:09.260 Mr. Bill O'Reilly. I've got about 20 stories I want to go through today. It's been a very big week

00:17:24.120 in the news, but we've got to spend a few minutes on the Chauvin case. Tell me your thoughts on the

00:17:31.600 case. That's the introduction Beck. No, uh, bestselling author in the world,

00:17:38.160 a perspicacious commentator on radio and TV. None of that. Just hello, Riley. What you,

00:17:44.160 is that it? Yeah, that's pretty much, that's pretty much, that's pretty much it. All right.

00:17:48.660 Um, you step back when in these things, if you were a fair minded person seeking the truth,

00:17:58.000 that not your truth, the truth. So you step back, you don't get emotionally involved. And that's what

00:18:05.140 most people in all journalists, except me and you under don't understand. I don't know. I've been,

00:18:11.860 I've, I've been pretty passionate about this, but passionate. Well, maybe you don't understand

00:18:16.120 today this. So this is why you have me on. I'll explain it to you. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So the

00:18:22.880 underlying conviction of the former police officer was based on a concept, a legal concept called

00:18:31.260 depraved indifference. That's why he was convicted. It really doesn't matter what Minnesota law

00:18:38.560 defined as second degree murder, third degree murder. It doesn't really matter. What the

00:18:44.400 prosecution was able to do was to convince the jury and me and me that the officer who took George

00:18:53.520 Floyd's life showed depraved indifference. And it really was the, because I agree with you,

00:19:01.240 it was the last 90 seconds that turned this case. Right. And there was a whole bunch of other

00:19:07.920 things. I mean, his own guys were telling him to ease up and all of that. So, so if you're going to

00:19:14.140 make a case that this verdict was based upon a fear, the jury was afraid for themselves and all

00:19:20.920 that, that's not true. All right. So if you're going to delude yourself, go ahead. The jury may

00:19:26.640 have had fears. I mean, if you're walking into a courtroom every day and you see the national

00:19:31.480 guard out there and you remember what happened last summer, that you're going to process that.

00:19:35.760 I think if I were a juror, if I were a juror, cause I, I agree with you, knowing the way Minnesota

00:19:40.860 it, um, the way it writes second degree murder and everything else, it is unintentional. It's

00:19:47.920 manslaughter, depraved indifference. And that fits this. And if I were in the jury room, I, when I

00:19:55.620 started, I would have been like, Oh crap, man, this is going to be bad for my family. But I think 0.87

00:20:01.340 what, by the time the, the trial was over and I got to the jury room, I might've looked at everybody

00:20:06.580 went right. I mean, we dodged a bullet here. This is pretty easy. There wasn't any dissent on the

00:20:12.480 jury, but remember you didn't have to serve on that jury. All right. So you could have said in

00:20:17.700 the jury selection, I'm afraid, and I can't make a fair verdict because I'm afraid for my personal

00:20:23.340 safety and my family's. And you would have been dismissed, discharged. So anyway, the point,

00:20:28.340 the overarching I want to make is in life, there are certain situations that are beyond a reasonable

00:20:34.900 doubt. And here is one of them. And so every American should accept that fact. And many don't.

00:20:42.780 So that's number one on Chavin. Now he'll be sentenced. Why? And here's a question everybody

00:20:49.300 should ask. He knew, and so did his attorneys, that they were going to get convicted. The only chance he

00:20:55.420 had was to take the stand, look the jurors in the eye and say, this is what I did and why I did it.

00:21:02.640 Not making excuses, but an explanation of what was going through his mind. That was the only chance

00:21:08.980 the man had, but he chose not to do it. Wait, wait, if you were the attorney for his defense,

00:21:17.080 would you have had him testify? I would have, I would have dragged him up and put him in the,

00:21:21.720 in the box if I were his attorney and I cared about him. All right. Because that's the only chance

00:21:28.080 he had. And that was a hundred to one. Yeah. That's a hail Mary and could have made it. Oh,

00:21:33.240 I couldn't have made it worse. Cause he's the alternative. You're right. You're right. You're

00:21:36.080 right. You're right. He's going to sit in the penitentiary for 15 years. Yeah. That's the

00:21:41.060 alternative. So take your shot in the, in, in an explanation. But anyway, that's over. Um, 0.93

00:21:51.300 he's going to the penitentiary. George Floyd is dead. That's it. What else? Uh, well,

00:21:58.880 the two, the, uh, other police officers will be going to trial this summer.

00:22:03.740 They'll play. Uh, they're not going to go to trial. They'll, they'll make a deal with the

00:22:08.160 prosecution. Um, and it'll all serve a little jail time. That's what's going to happen there.

00:22:12.940 Wow. And do you think that's the right thing to do?

00:22:15.060 If I got a decent deal, I would, because if you don't play out, then the judge is going to give

00:22:22.720 you two or three times more jail time. Just putting this, the system through it. Go ahead.

00:22:29.220 So I remember Jeffrey Dahmer went to prison and he was shivved. I can't imagine being chauvin.

00:22:35.960 No, I can't either. And I don't know how to protect him. Yeah. How do you, how do you protect him?

00:22:40.800 So he's going to have to stay in isolation. He'll get an hour to walk around by himself.

00:22:45.060 What a terrible life, you know? And, and, you know, no one feels sorry for him. And in the

00:22:52.520 traditional sense, I don't feel sorry for him, but I have compassion for him. I do too. If,

00:22:58.200 if I could, and I probably will do this, I'll send them all 10 of my books. Uh, I'll probably do that.

00:23:05.720 No, I'm don't do it. That's a Geneva convention, man. At least he'll have something to do.

00:23:11.460 I'll send them your books. All right. I'll send them lots of books, but, but I'm trying to say that

00:23:17.880 compassion is what we as Americans are lacking. It is. I said, you know what I did, but it's,

00:23:26.520 but now he's, he's isolated. My God. It's amazing to me. I, I said, uh, on a Tucker show on what,

00:23:35.040 when did this happen? Tuesday. And I said, uh, I came out and said, look, I mean, there's two,

00:23:41.640 two lives completely destroyed. The life of, of, uh, of George Floyd and his family

00:23:48.540 destroyed, destroyed. The same thing with Chauvin Chauvin is in jail, but his family is destroyed.

00:23:55.960 Yep. And it's, we should have compassion for all of that. This week I have been seeing story after

00:24:01.800 story. It's almost like it was written by media matters where they don't say that anything about

00:24:06.500 me saying about compassion for George Floyd, or that I thought the verdict was right.

00:24:10.460 They're just saying Glenn Beck says compassion and trying to make it look like I'm for him.

00:24:16.860 Yeah. You're sympathetic to Chauvin and what he did, but, but compassion, we should be sympathetic

00:24:22.520 for everyone. But this is another good lesson for people. So we live in the United States of

00:24:29.600 vengeance. Yeah, that's where, where we're living now, not the United States of compassion,

00:24:35.940 the United States of vengeance. And because you, uh, put forth a point of view and you and I have

00:24:45.100 lived this together for what 25 years, we've lived it together. These people mostly on the left, but

00:24:55.560 not exclusively want to hurt us. And I put forth, they'd kill us. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They 0.98

00:25:07.500 would. Um, talk, talk to me a little bit about Brett Favre, because this is something that I think

00:25:12.320 Americans need to understand he's getting heat because he said, I'm not defending, uh, Chauvin,

00:25:19.480 but I, I can't imagine that he intentionally murdered, um, uh, uh, uh, George Floyd. And I

00:25:28.020 a hundred percent agree with that. I don't think he got up in the morning. It was like, I'm going to

00:25:31.000 kill me a black man. No, but nothing level of responsibility. And he's paying it. He's paying 1.00

00:25:38.680 it. The, but the second degree murder means unintentional. It's manslaughter Beck, listen

00:25:45.840 to me. I don't want, I don't want this to ever happen again. And so every law enforcement

00:25:53.840 officer in the United States, all 80,200 of them that are working right now need to understand

00:26:02.800 that their responsibility is much higher than the ordinary citizen because they are armed

00:26:13.300 and have the powers of arrest. You, but we are living in unreasonable times. What happened

00:26:20.040 in Columbus, Ohio, that got that police officer. It did everything right.

00:26:25.960 But he's not going to be charged with anything. And he's having to go through this because of

00:26:30.740 LeBron James and others and, and, uh, and president Biden, who I hope we'll get to in

00:26:36.460 this, uh, segment. We are going to. Yeah. Because that guy is now, uh, he's jumped the

00:26:42.380 shark. If you remember happy days, but getting back to Favre and getting back to his statement,

00:26:49.120 it's true that Chauvin didn't wake up in the mornings and say to himself, I'm going to go 0.96

00:26:55.780 out and hurt a black person today. That didn't happen. But Chauvin apparently didn't understand 0.75

00:27:01.760 his responsibility. That he has to be tough and enforce the law, but he also has to be

00:27:11.120 compassionate. Yeah. I think there was along with the job and the verdict the, he was charged

00:27:19.180 with and they found him guilty. And I think this is exactly right with reckless endangerment.

00:27:25.240 Yeah. I mean, he was reckless at his job. That doesn't mean he was intentionally doing

00:27:30.760 it. No, reckless. The people who believe in, there are millions of them, tens of millions,

00:27:36.780 the people who believe that law enforcement in America has an animus toward black people

00:27:45.880 use these situations to reinforce that belief. And you are never going to reason them out

00:27:53.980 of it. Right. But I'm not going to play the game. I'm not going to play the game by reinforcing

00:27:58.760 it by saying, yeah, he did intentionally kill. No, he didn't. But if I'm Brett Favre's advisor,

00:28:04.400 I say, before you wade into this, you have to acknowledge certain things so you don't leave

00:28:13.040 yourself open for unfair attacks. You know, if you watch the NOSPN news this weekend, I'm sure you

00:28:17.560 did back. We again produced the statistics from 2019 and 2020 on unarmed black people being shot

00:28:26.820 by police. It's over a thousand a year, well over a thousand a year. No, it's not. That's what the

00:28:34.240 average, that's what the average person believes. It's a thousand people.

00:28:39.200 Thirty. And in that thirty, for two years, many, perhaps most of the unarmed black people who were

00:28:48.340 shot by police had a knife or a baseball bat or a vehicle where they were trying to run over the

00:28:53.440 cops. So this is the fact. And those facts were compiled by the Washington Post. All right. I didn't

00:29:01.940 even use FBI facts because I knew what the counter would be on that. But the Washington Post, you can

00:29:09.420 look it up, as Yogi Berra once said. All right. I'm back with Mr. Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

00:29:16.940 His latest bestseller is Killing Crazy Horse, and he comes out with a new one. Actually, I think this is

00:29:24.920 more of his current bestseller because it's already making the lists and it's not even out until next

00:29:30.080 month. And that is Killing the Mob, probably his best book yet.

00:29:36.180 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:29:42.180 We welcome, I believe, for the first time to the program, author of The Devil's Hand and

00:29:47.360 The Terminal List, which The Terminal List is being adapted into an Amazon Prime series

00:29:54.740 with Chris Pratt, which, I mean, that's kind of a good cast call there. Jack Carr is the

00:30:03.800 author, and welcome to the program, Jack. How are you?

00:30:06.580 I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me on. It's an honor to be here.

00:30:09.800 Thank you. When you were writing Terminal List, did you know that you thought this is going

00:30:18.220 to be a big, big deal? And when you got Chris Pratt, I mean, that's fantastic.

00:30:24.440 Yeah, I'm a child of the 80s, so as I was writing the character, it's hard not to think of someone

00:30:28.960 playing that character in the movie because as you grow up reading all these novels and

00:30:33.100 expecting to one day write novels like that yourself, you just picture it going to the

00:30:37.060 big screen. Of course, streaming services didn't exist back then, and that's an option

00:30:41.120 now. But as I was writing, I thought of Chris Pratt playing the role.

00:30:44.740 Did you really? It was completely surreal that now, as I started writing it in December

00:30:48.760 of 2014, and then he optioned it in January of 2018 before it even hit shelves. So it was

00:30:54.900 surreal to me. I've seen him do a couple of posts where he's just in his car, and he's

00:31:01.300 like, this is going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing. It's pretty cool.

00:31:07.020 I really like him. Yeah, he's great. He's such a nice person. Antoine Fuqua is directing.

00:31:12.800 He did Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Magnificent Seven, Equalizer, and I was on set last week,

00:31:17.680 and there's 350 people out there working on this thing. It's like a military operation

00:31:22.560 with craft food services, logistics, feeding the army. You have Antoine up there as the

00:31:26.760 commanding officer. Chris is like the platoon commander setting the tone, the weapons guy,

00:31:30.680 the explosives guy, transportation. It's just like a military operation, and I couldn't be

00:31:36.240 more thrilled. Tell me about the Devil's Hand that's just come out.

00:31:40.720 Yes, this is the fourth one in the series, and for this one, I really wanted to take a breath

00:31:44.320 and put myself in the enemy's shoes because I thought about that a lot while I was in the SEAL

00:31:48.800 teams, and I continue to think about it today as an author and a citizen. The enemy has had 20 years

00:31:54.800 almost to look at our cards if we're playing poker, look at how we're playing those cards,

00:31:58.960 and then take those lessons and apply them to a future game. So I asked myself, what if I was Iran,

00:32:04.700 China, North Korea, Russia, a super empowered individual, a terrorist organization? What would

00:32:09.820 I have learned from this last 20 years, and what would I apply going forward? So that formed the

00:32:15.040 basis, but then when I outlined this in August of 2019, the catalyst that moves the plot forward

00:32:20.840 is a bioweapon attack. So when COVID hit, I was deep into the research on infectious diseases,

00:32:27.240 the weaponization of infectious diseases, the history. So I was hypersensitive to that when it

00:32:31.520 hit, and it became a much more timely novel than I initially thought at the outset.

00:32:36.300 What have they learned? You know, I started reading this last night, so I haven't gotten very far.

00:32:41.060 Apologize for that. But I started reading it last night, and I was so intrigued because I think

00:32:46.520 you're, this is why I love action fiction writers, is you have to take things that are real,

00:32:55.740 and up until recently, you know, fiction has to make sense, uh, and has to feel like it actually

00:33:02.560 could happen. But in today's world, absolutely anything could, elephants, it could rain elephants

00:33:07.700 today. And I'd go, huh, didn't see that coming, but okay. Um, uh, what did they learn from us

00:33:16.920 and our reaction?

00:33:18.800 That's exactly it right there. Sure. Yeah, that's exactly it. It's a lot harder today,

00:33:21.960 uh, because if you were to write some of the things that happened over the last year and a half,

00:33:25.520 uh, 10 years ago, people would think it was science fiction, uh, not just fiction. But so

00:33:31.520 in looking at our response to COVID with the basis of the novel being what the enemy is learning from

00:33:36.060 us and how they are adapting. When COVID hit, once again, they are learning from our response to COVID.

00:33:41.620 A summer of civil unrest that continues today. They're learning from that. A very contentious

00:33:45.680 political season and election cycle. They are certainly learning from that. But specifically to the

00:33:50.140 bioweapons side of the house, when they look at infection rates and mortality rates as they

00:33:54.320 pertain to COVID and see what we did to ourselves, um, with something that has a 0.003 ish, um, type

00:34:01.820 of mortality rate. Well, what if something has, which do exist out there, bioweapons with an 85%,

00:34:07.820 90% mortality rate, just imagine what we would do. So that really, uh, that really formed the basis of

00:34:13.760 this novel. And now of course, people are more in tune with that and can see, Oh, we shut down the

00:34:18.600 country for something that's killing X number of people. What will we do if it kills the Y number 1.00

00:34:23.880 of people going forward? So the enemy is definitely taking notes here. When you, when you look at,

00:34:29.740 uh, what's going on, um, I feel like we're living in a, in an action thriller right now with the

00:34:37.160 intrigue that is happening with the deep state, uh, and the, the games that are played in Washington

00:34:44.860 and not really knowing who's in charge, you know, at times and the radicals that are happening in the,

00:34:51.020 the protests in the street. And it's not a coincidence. And then, you know, with the great

00:34:56.700 reset, these corporations coming out and colluding with one another to, you know, help move things

00:35:03.380 along. It is like we're living in a, I don't even know, but a combination of, uh, one of your books

00:35:13.300 and some, you know, awful dystopian Huxley book. It really is. And it's, uh, they're certainly giving

00:35:21.720 me a lot to work with in the, uh, in the thriller genre, that's for sure. And in the military, we talk

00:35:26.460 about walking into an L ambush, um, like online or L, those are the two types of basic ambushes from the

00:35:32.540 beginning of time. And essentially we're walking right into an L ambush with big government on the

00:35:38.800 other side. So an L ambush would be, so instead of like right across the street from each other,

00:35:42.440 shooting at someone in the middle where you can kill each other and L, so you're not, uh, your

00:35:46.640 fields of fire don't, don't hit, uh, the people you don't want to, but put this massive volley of

00:35:51.380 fire down on whoever walked into that L. Um, so that's what we're doing right now. We're walking 0.99

00:35:56.500 right into this L. Uh, and there's almost, there's hard, there's not much that we can do about it

00:36:01.760 because those big, big government has so much control and they're, uh, they're right there

00:36:07.140 hand in hand with big tech who controls all that information. And we just continue to walk right

00:36:11.460 into it. Um, so the problem I ran into when I got to about October, November last year,

00:36:16.200 being in the enemy's shoes for over a year, I thought, Oh my goodness, I have a problem here.

00:36:20.600 If I was the enemy, I might just watch from the outside. I don't need to do anything because we're

00:36:25.320 doing a pretty good job of tearing ourselves apart from the inside out here. So I had to figure that

00:36:29.600 out, which I, which I did. But, um, but in reality, we are doing a really good job of doing the enemy's

00:36:34.520 job for them right now. I, uh, I will tell you that I've, I've said for a long time, there's going to

00:36:39.140 come a time when all of our enemies, uh, will see the same moment and they'll all say now go, go, go,

00:36:47.060 go, go. Um, because we are, we're doing all of the work and they're just waiting for that moment.

00:36:54.020 Do you, do you think we're close to that moment, Jack?

00:36:58.400 That's exactly right. And the real question is when that moment, and that's what they're asking

00:37:02.460 themselves too. Uh, cause this is, this is new territory, but they tend to think obviously in

00:37:06.420 terms of, uh, eons almost at least let's say centuries, uh, what we think in terms of these

00:37:11.780 four-year election cycles, maybe eight for the real deep thinkers among us. Um, but they can buy

00:37:16.680 their time. They can be patient. They study their history, which is something we do not do is

00:37:20.940 something our elected officials, uh, and our senior military leaders do not do for some reason.

00:37:26.740 They don't put the time, energy, and effort into studying the past to make good decisions going

00:37:30.860 forward, uh, based on wisdom. So, uh, the enemy has, has the advantage in that respect. No doubt about it.

00:37:37.460 When you look at China, uh, uh, I was talking to somebody the other day and they said,

00:37:43.420 stop calling China a rising power. It's a risen power. And, uh, until you understand the 0.73

00:37:50.860 power that they currently hold, you won't be able to see what's right around the corner.

00:37:55.660 And they, we were talking about Taiwan and they asked me if I thought, you know, the American

00:38:01.260 government and the American people would support protecting Taiwan. And I'm like, no, I don't think

00:38:08.440 so at all. I don't think the government will. I don't, I, I don't think this administration,

00:38:13.100 I think just Taiwan, just see ya. Do you think I'm right or wrong on that?

00:38:17.560 I think you're right. Cause most people, much like back in the days when people,

00:38:22.360 when we started going to Vietnam, uh, people said, where is that? Even today, Taiwan, where

00:38:26.920 is that? Uh, for most people, um, I've been to Taiwan, I've been to mainland China, uh, studied

00:38:32.140 a bit of that history, um, probably just enough to be dangerous, but, uh, that's why travel is

00:38:36.800 so important and studying history is so important. And today there's so many distractions out there

00:38:41.080 for these kids coming up today. Uh, back let's say in the eighties, nineties, you could read a book,

00:38:46.060 you could watch a movie, you could wait for your show to come on TV. You could go outside,

00:38:49.500 maybe play Atari 2600 today. There are so many distractions and most of those distractions

00:38:54.460 are divisive in nature. Um, and I think that is by design. So, uh, we're definitely not getting

00:39:00.260 any brighter, um, any more wise as a, as a public and as a population. So, uh, I hate being a pessimist

00:39:07.480 here, but it's hard to, it's hard to find that hope when you look forward, especially when you're

00:39:11.400 basing, uh, your analysis on what's going on right now.

00:39:15.240 When you look, because you have so much military experience being in SEALs and everything else,

00:39:19.360 um, when you look at, uh, China and then you look at the United States military, and especially

00:39:25.680 with the leadership we have now and, you know, all the things that are going on in our military,

00:39:30.840 um, how long before we are in a situation to where we're, we're in even match? Is that still

00:39:38.080 a long way away or? Oh, I think it's pretty close. Um, especially when our focus has been

00:39:45.000 elsewhere. Uh, and usually depending on who's in charge, whatever they're studying, whatever

00:39:49.200 they've, uh, their experience has been in the past, that's kind of the boogeyman in the closet.

00:39:52.940 So if they're focused on Iran for most of their time in the military, that's, that's the big 0.83

00:39:56.960 threat. If they're focused on Russia for most of their time in the military, then that's the main

00:40:00.200 threat. Um, it's because they have this personal connection to it and they can speak on, uh, on

00:40:05.360 those. So China can look at our experience in Iraq. They can look at our experience in Afghanistan.

00:40:09.820 They can see the distraction. Um, they can see how we were bogged down because of changing, uh,

00:40:15.300 changing goals, changing goalposts, goal lines, um, and how we just stayed mirrored down in these

00:40:20.540 areas. And they're taking notes. They can see that they know exactly, uh, if that day of

00:40:25.660 confrontation comes, they know exactly what they need to do, uh, to bog us down and to, uh, and to win.

00:40:31.180 Um, one last question. I think that I read this morning that Russia is backing away from the

00:40:37.600 Ukrainian border, which surprised me. Um, what are you seeing on the, with the NATO front in Ukraine

00:40:45.220 and Russia? Well, NATO has been, uh, essentially a non-entity for, for quite some time now, um,

00:40:53.840 especially with new members, which, uh, just confuses the, the, the entire, um, uh, well,

00:41:00.780 the entire, why, I mean, why would you say that?

00:41:06.360 It's just, uh, yeah, it's, yeah. I mean, you know how you have, uh, yeah. Access and allies

00:41:11.220 mixed together, uh, essentially trying to figure out a solution when not everybody's on the same page.

00:41:17.180 Not everybody believes in the same, uh, foundational, uh, uh, foundational liberty. Uh, so it is a tough
