Hey, welcome to the Friday podcast. It's a great one. Bill O'Reilly, Michael Malice is on. We also
00:00:04.720
talked to the woman who started Give, Send, Go. She is a warrior. She is coming up against the
00:00:11.440
Canadian government and I believe the American government as well. You don't want to miss a
00:00:16.520
second. Also, we hit a lot on the Canadian truckers and give you an update there. All on today's
00:00:23.660
podcast. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. So we have the Give, Send, Go
00:00:43.400
people on, the founder on in about 90 minutes from now. I can't wait to talk to them because,
00:00:52.740
you know, it's illegal now to give money in Ottawa to these truckers. It's illegal. And
00:00:58.020
GoFundMe, you know, they raised the $9 million. They gave $1 million to the truckers. And then
00:01:05.920
they realized this is a violation. We can't let you raise money for things like this. You know,
00:01:11.500
we just, we will raise money for legitimate things like bail money for anybody who was,
00:01:17.640
you know, caught burning down a town, you know, in the name of BLM or Antifa. Well,
00:01:23.140
cool. Of course we can raise money for that. But these truckers, absolutely not. So we're going
00:01:28.480
to take the $9 million or $8 million that's left and we're going to give it to people that we choose.
00:01:34.920
Okay. And then Ted Cruz went, I think we need to open up an investigation. They're like,
00:01:39.360
what did, what did, what did you think we said? We didn't say that. You're one of those guys that
00:01:45.160
believes that they were really going to give away crack pipes, right? I mean, build back better,
00:01:51.500
not build crack better. That wasn't you. You got to listen clearly. Okay. We didn't say that.
00:01:58.140
We said, we're going to give it to places that the truckers say we should give. Oh, okay. Hmm.
00:02:04.880
Wow. That still seems like fraud, but maybe that's just me. So we're going to talk to, uh,
00:02:11.360
give send go because, um, they're saying because Ottawa, the courts yesterday said
00:02:17.520
it's illegal and, uh, you can't raise money for them and you better not distribute any funds to them
00:02:23.960
and give a send go. Um, well, they're Christians, so they probably didn't say this, but I would,
00:02:33.440
I would screw you. And they said that, uh, the, uh, as much as they love the courts in Ottawa,
00:02:43.120
they don't have any jurisdiction. So they're sending the money to the truckers. Uh, and by the way,
00:02:49.960
go fund me as somebody who has, uh, probably helped you make a lot of money, you know, because you take a
00:03:00.960
percentage of every donation. And that is great for you. It really is. It is. Um, I will never send
00:03:08.760
a dime your way ever again. I will never use go fund me and neither should you. No one in this
00:03:16.780
audience should ever use go fund me ever give send go.com. Somebody who, uh, is that just doesn't
00:03:26.800
have a political agenda that they're just going to say, Oh, you know what? Yeah, that's fine. But,
00:03:32.560
uh, now we're feeling some pressure and we just don't, we're going to fold. Nope. Nope. Sorry.
00:03:39.040
Not a dime coming your way. Anyway, let's change to our commander in chief. And when I think of Joe
00:03:45.600
Biden, I think commander, commander, master and commander, he is, he's on it. Here he is a couple of
00:03:55.560
clips from the Lester Holt interview that will air right before, right before the Superbowl.
00:04:02.620
Uh, let's go with, uh, let's go with clip number one here. I think it was back in July. You said
00:04:09.340
inflation was going to be temporary. I think a lot of Americans are wondering what your definition of
00:04:14.600
temporary is. Well, you're being a wise guy with me a little bit. I understand that's your job.
00:04:20.000
And look, uh, at the time, hang on just a second. You're being a wise guy with me. You're being a
00:04:25.380
cad. You're being a cad, a chucklehead, a fop doodle, you know, uh, a gad about a, a grumpletonian.
00:04:32.740
That's what you are. And I, and I understand that, but I'm no ninny hammer and, uh, you know,
00:04:37.880
you're just being a white lily livered, uh, sneaks by you scamp. And, uh, I'm just not going to,
00:04:44.720
I'm not going to tolerate it anymore. I mean, could he be many, any older than he is? I mean,
00:04:53.000
he is not without being petrified. You're just pretty sure. Now you're being, you're being a wise
00:04:58.640
guy. You're being a wise guy. But if, if he's not just out of date, he also has no idea what he's
00:05:06.920
talking, talking about. Listen to what he says about inflation here.
00:05:10.700
What happened was the, uh, let's look at the reasons for the inflation. Okay, I'd love to.
00:05:16.300
The reason for the inflation is the supply chains were cut off, meaning that the products,
00:05:22.940
for example, automobiles, the lack of computer chips to be able to build those automobiles
00:05:28.620
so they could function, they need those computer chips. They were not available. So what happens
00:05:33.380
with the number of cars that were reduced, the new cars were reduced, it made up at one point,
00:05:38.220
one third, the cost of inflation because the price of automobiles, right?
00:05:41.900
One point, one third, the cost of, what? And you know, can I tell you something?
00:05:48.500
I never thought of it this way. You know, when I go to the grocery store and I buy cereal and I think
00:05:54.040
all of the chips that go into the cereal, all of the chips, I buy bags of chips. Yeah. Of course
00:06:01.160
they're going up. Yeah. Chips are hard to make. Right. You know, it's hard to get them. There's a
00:06:05.760
shortage of chips. So this Superbowl, you're going to be, you know, I don't care if it's Doritos or
00:06:10.720
Lays, you're going to be paying more for those chips because there's a shortage of chips. And
00:06:17.080
when you come to dips and, and things like that, you don't know the amount of chips that are in
00:06:22.740
those things. Uh, soda, meat, my gosh, the cattle. Now, you know, we couldn't get the chips for the
00:06:30.640
cattle. Yeah. You've heard of cow chips, right? Yeah. Okay. Right. That's what he's saying.
00:06:36.060
That is, are you kidding me? That is your definition. That was the problem. Yeah. And
00:06:42.340
this guy's going to fix it. No, because there were fewer cars being manufactured up like cereal
00:06:49.540
went up 18%. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and what? Wait a minute. And so what, what happened to gas?
00:06:55.380
Yeah. Well, he couldn't get the chips. No, no, no, that's not it. And wrong answer. Even if phrased
00:07:05.120
in the form of a question, still the wrong answer. Uh, but he's got a handle on things. Oh yeah.
00:07:11.160
Here's cut to, and there was no way we were ever going to unite Ukraine. I mean, excuse me,
00:07:17.300
Iraq, Afghanistan, no way that was going to happen. Oh my gosh. Now I understand that if he was
00:07:25.280
going to say like, he was calling his, you know, his lovely wife, Jill, and he calls Jill
00:07:31.720
his daughter's name. And, you know, cause I do this all the time. I'm like, yeah, Hannah,
00:07:37.080
Mary, uh, mom, Tanya. I mean, you know, I do that all the time. Uh, but that's not really
00:07:46.060
the same thing here. Lester Holt said Afghanistan in the form, in the question. So he's answering
00:07:53.000
a question about Afghanistan and can't think of the name. I want my, I want my nummies.
00:07:59.740
Mexico, Canada, Iowa, Eastern Africa. It is, uh, it's pretty amazing. It's bad. It's pretty
00:08:09.500
amazing. And let me tell you something. When the rest of the world sees that they think
00:08:13.980
don't screw around with America. Don't they know is now is not the time to take advantage
00:08:18.780
of America. No, not with that sharp. Oh, he commander in chief. You know, you might think
00:08:27.920
that he's a complete bumbling idiot that doesn't know what he's even talking about. Or, you
00:08:32.700
know, he might've put a pizza box on as a shoe this morning. Uh, but no, no, no, that's all
00:08:39.620
a ruse. He's sharp as a knife, a butter knife, but sharp. Yes. Still a knife. I'm just saying
00:08:48.340
it is a knife. So we got, Oh my God, we're so doomed. It feels like it. When you listen
00:08:55.360
to him, it feels like it. And you know what? I still don't give, you know, Bill O'Reilly
00:09:01.060
always says, you know, he doesn't know what he's doing. I think he actually does. I think
00:09:06.840
he's, he's there enough for maybe, I don't know, 20 minutes a day where he's like, we're
00:09:12.360
going to pull out all of the truth back out of them. When the meds are strongest. Yeah.
00:09:18.480
Then he knows. Yeah. And, and I, I think he, I mean, he, he's there enough to know if we
00:09:26.560
run a lot of truth out again, then them a hundred get money from China because they'll get debated,
00:09:31.940
right? Did I say that out loud? I mean, you know, he, this, you cannot be this wrong. And
00:09:40.860
by the way, you know, everybody was like, Donald Trump is out of control. I hope there are people
00:09:46.120
in that office that are doing all they can to make sure that he doesn't blow up the whole
00:09:50.820
world. If this guy is really that out of control, where's everybody around him? Notice there's
00:09:57.120
nobody saying, oh, he's completely out of control. He, we just come in, give him his numbers.
00:10:03.520
You know, I want my numbers. Where's my nummies? No, I want nummy nummies. Where am I putting?
00:10:08.880
They don't say that about him. Oh no, he's completely in control. They say the opposite.
00:10:14.280
Yeah. Jen Psaki went on a few weeks ago talking about how he's so wonderful to travel with because
00:10:19.460
he's so funny and witty and sharp and charming and no, is there anybody that believes that?
00:10:26.460
Come on, come on. He might just like, hello. I mean, that's probably what it's like with
00:10:38.440
him on air force one. Yep. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Wait, pudding, pudding. Oh,
00:10:43.220
where's my pudding? I love air force pudding. It's the best. Where are we going? When are
00:10:51.860
we, when are we, when are we going? You promised you'd take me to the circus. When are we going
00:10:56.660
to the circus? And I love the people who say, no, no, no. You know, I think he's going to
00:11:02.460
run. What? I mean, Disney is a leftist company, so they may just put some chips, but they're hard
00:11:11.420
to get ahold of now and make him audio animatronic. But I don't know. I mean, that may take us
00:11:17.300
longer, uh, than, you know, the time period we have to, to fill him full of chips and make
00:11:23.220
him into a Disney robot. I will say this. I just went to the president's. What is that?
00:11:28.120
The president's, uh, of the United States of America display at Disney where they do the.
00:11:34.240
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they have him now. Hall of presidents. And at the end he speaks and
00:11:40.160
his animatronic is about a thousand times sharper than he is. I think really. His animatronic
00:11:45.460
would probably do better, uh, as a camp, as a candidate than he would. I think you could
00:11:51.980
with deep fakes, you could just run him. He's in his basement. He's in his basement. Would
00:11:56.800
it surprise you if that ever happened? No. You're on the verge of it. No, no, I wouldn't. You're
00:12:02.080
on the verge of it. I know. I had a congressman write to me yesterday and say, thank you for
00:12:06.680
talking about deep fakes because we talked about it yesterday on, uh, Boba Fett. If
00:12:11.920
you watch Boba Fett and I watched it against my will, honestly, with my son. And I love
00:12:17.480
this. This is a great, I'm kind of done with the star Wars thing. Um, but I won't give
00:12:22.520
away anything, but in one of the later episodes of this season, uh, there is computer generation,
00:12:29.680
uh, that, uh, I mean, you can't tell, you cannot tell. And it's of a very famous person. And you
00:12:37.980
would, if you didn't know who that person really was, if you didn't grow up with star Wars, like
00:12:44.320
we did, you wouldn't think twice. You would absolutely believe that is that person. And
00:12:51.800
it's for a very long scene. I mean, I watched it like three times. He's throughout the whole
00:12:56.420
episode. Yeah. I mean, it is, it's incredible. Do I believe that? Yeah, here's what's going
00:13:02.040
to happen with deep fakes. Somebody, and it'll be a government will make Vladimir Putin say
00:13:07.080
something that he didn't say and we'll go to war and it won't necessarily be our government.
00:13:11.600
It'll be somebody else that just wants a war, um, or they'll make Joe Biden or they'll make
00:13:15.900
Donald Trump and you won't believe it. And then the other side of that is what? Once you
00:13:23.620
have that, then somebody can be on tape doing drugs. Well, I wouldn't want to say this
00:13:28.980
cause we have Hunter Biden that's doing a stabbing somebody to death and they actually
00:13:34.180
did it. And they'll be like, that's a deep fake and people won't know what to believe.
00:13:39.960
It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. Please, Lord, please confuse our languages and
00:13:46.740
scatter us, please. Before we do any more damage. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:04.040
The host of your welcome author of the anarchist handbook, Michael Malice joins us for a look at,
00:14:12.480
uh, what he thinks are the big stories of the week. Um, I just talked to Bill O'Reilly, um, and we were
00:14:20.400
talking a little bit about, uh, inflation and I want to talk to you about that, uh, Michael, but I I'd
00:14:26.240
like to start with a trucker thing. These guys are being called anarchists and, uh, I don't know if
00:14:33.380
that fits the definite, but you are the guy who wrote the book on anarchy. So are they anarchists?
00:14:39.720
Um, let me choose my words very carefully. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um, if you are in a Canadian winter
00:14:50.520
and the police come and steal your firewood, the anarchist response isn't smiling and nodding.
00:14:59.600
Uh, and, uh, in all seriousness, you know, there's few people who, uh, condemn the police more than I
00:15:09.760
do. And this is kind of the point I was making. How much money would Justin Trudeau have to pay
00:15:17.080
someone to take firewood away from a working parent who is peacefully protesting the policies
00:15:26.980
of the government. This is something so beyond acceptable behavior and something so despicable
00:15:33.080
and reprehensible. Every single person listening to this, if you saw someone shivering in the cold,
00:15:39.140
who's a dad, who has a job, you would want to offer them warmth. You would not want to take it away
00:15:45.700
that you would do that to a dog. This is basic human decency. And it also, I think is very helpful
00:15:52.260
for the government to have to show its hand because for a long time, we all thought that,
00:15:59.460
you know, they wouldn't do something like this. And now that they're being forced to, we're seeing,
00:16:06.040
yeah, yeah, they would. There's no line they won't cross.
00:16:09.440
You know, it's really interesting. Uh, by the way, I don't know if you saw the, um, police officer who
00:16:13.880
quit and I wish there were more, but there was only one that quit and said, look, I don't believe
00:16:20.140
in what we do anymore. I've always thought that if push comes to shove, we would do the right thing.
00:16:26.180
And I'm sorry, but taking firewood from people is not the right thing. We're on the wrong side
00:16:32.280
and I can't do it anymore. There was only one guy that said that. And, and I would also make the
00:16:38.420
other point. If you are comfortable taking firewood away from these truckers in the Canadian winter,
00:16:45.180
if the orders were given for you to God forbid, draw on them, you would follow that order. There's
00:16:52.060
no moral difference between one of the other. It's just messier and quicker. So I think it's just
00:16:59.820
absolutely, and this here's the other thing, Glenn, if it wasn't for social media showing those footage,
00:17:06.300
we'd all be told this is a widely discredited conspiracy theory being pushed by far right extremist
00:17:13.920
websites, that they would never do this. The only people they're taking firewood from are Nazis.
00:17:20.500
The only reason these Nazis hate Trudeau is because he's black. So this is what the story
00:17:26.140
we told and people believe it. People will believe that all the truckers from Canada voted for Trump.
00:17:32.760
They could say these kinds of things with a straight face and enough of their audience would smile and nod.
00:17:37.260
It is. It's remarkable. And you don't know who to believe, um, because you want to be fair,
00:17:45.720
you know, and I don't see the evidence, but there's Canadians that are just watching the CBC. They're
00:17:52.200
just, they're watching the government news and our, ours is just as bad. I mean, our news is in with
00:17:59.880
the government. Our social media tech companies are in with the government. So it's really hard to be fair
00:18:06.600
because you, you, you can see some things, but you don't, there's nobody there that you feel like, okay,
00:18:14.100
I can trust this person to tell me really what's going on.
00:18:17.680
I think our news is better because first of all, Canada has an enormous amount of subsidy of the news, uh,
00:18:24.700
in their budget. And this was something that was part of build back better, which thank God was shot down in the
00:18:31.580
same way that if any of these airlines discriminate against progressives, you know, Mitch McConnell would be on the
00:18:37.620
phone with them and fill up their budget shortfall in five minutes. Um, they were trying to push this through
00:18:43.480
because many of these propaganda outlets are failing because people are sick of hearing the same stupid song over and
00:18:51.500
over and over. How many years do you have to hear Sheldon say, Bazinga? It's the same thing. Racism, climate change,
00:18:56.740
racism, climate change. We get it. Everyone you don't like is a racist or it's climate change. So that does not do well
00:19:02.520
for business. I think CNN was down 90%. Now in a market, that would mean these organizations go out of business,
00:19:08.760
but the Democrats came in and tried to have taxpayers subsidize their propaganda and it failed. So thank God for
00:19:15.580
that. And one more thing as sanctimonious and horrible as American newscasters are, which includes many of
00:19:23.540
our former colleagues, the current colleagues, they're much worse than Canada. If you look at them
00:19:28.240
on social media, they really are just the most mediocre and yet sanctimonious people. I'm sure you
00:19:35.900
saw that clip of that reporter talking to one of those trucking dads threatening his son on behalf of the
00:19:42.520
government. It was, and then he complained that the trucker told him to go F yourself after the guy
00:19:48.840
asked him, is your kid in danger? Let me ask you, um, let me ask you about another story that I think
00:19:56.600
is massive this week. And that is Joe Rogan. Your thoughts on what's happening with Joe Rogan?
00:20:03.460
Well, I was the one where that kind of story broke because I saw, or someone said to me, excuse me,
00:20:09.680
that two of my episodes got pulled. This forced the left. Don't worry people. Um, and I of course support
00:20:17.060
Joe. I support my friend. Um, you know, there was this hit piece, hit reel that went around of him using
00:20:23.360
the N word and he pulled all those episodes. The episode of mine that he told, he was discussing how
00:20:30.360
someone got fired for saying, you shouldn't say this word at work. So it was completely lacking
00:20:37.500
context. And here's the thing, Glenn, it's been about a week later. This, this, uh, this coordinated
00:20:44.380
attack failed. Uh, he hasn't done canceled. People are still doing a show. I don't think his numbers
00:20:50.300
went down. It kind of went away. And this is something that should offer us hope because people
00:20:54.960
are tripping over themselves online to show their support for him. And I don't think that this kind of,
00:21:01.840
uh, um, campaign work, do you disagree? Um, well, they're not done. They will continue to chip away
00:21:08.280
and chip away, but I do, I will tell you this. Um, I think it actually made Joe Rogan maybe perhaps
00:21:14.720
more popular. Um, it made the mainstream media look really bad. Like they had no idea what the common man
00:21:23.240
was who he even was. Um, and I think that people have had enough. So even if they don't know
00:21:32.040
necessarily who Joe Rogan is, except, you know, obliquely, they've run across a couple of his clips
00:21:37.680
or whatever. Um, I think people are so sick of the cancel culture. And as you said, you're a racist
00:21:44.800
or you're against global warming or whatever, a conspiracy theorist that they're done with it.
00:21:50.060
I think this could be the, the beginning of the average person just saying, go to hell.
00:21:57.680
I don't care what you say anymore. Yeah. And the thing is, when you have a podcast, as you know,
00:22:03.760
there's Rogan's podcast is three hours. If you listen to someone talk with their guests for three
00:22:08.880
hours and have this conversation, you get it sent to know them. Yeah. So after it's very, very hard
00:22:15.040
if you're listening to someone for three hours a day for years, or even just once a week
00:22:19.280
to be persuaded, this is someone that, you know, that they're not just that they spent
00:22:23.960
a bunch of clips from together. It's honestly, it's also transparent of what they're trying
00:22:28.700
to do as well. It's why, it's why the left doesn't want you listening to long form podcasts
00:22:33.560
or radio shows. I mean, my agent said to me the first time I ever talked to him, he said,
00:22:38.620
I got to check you out. I'll call you. And I said, you mean there's a, there's a chance
00:22:42.400
you won't take 10% of my money. And he said, no, he said, uh, you can't do talk radio three hours,
00:22:50.440
five days a week. If you're not who you say you are, the audience will smell it in a second and
00:22:55.820
you'll be done. And I don't want to be, I don't want to be a part of that. Um, so absolutely. And
00:23:00.760
there's such a big difference between discussing an issue or group of issues over three hours
00:23:05.360
and soundbite culture. You know, for a long time, the corporate press had, were wringing their
00:23:10.820
hands. Oh, our views are so nuanced. You know how Jim Carrey, John Carrey was against the word for
00:23:15.540
his word. Oh, he's user nuanced. And they're like, you know, we don't, there's no problem for
00:23:19.500
politics. So then you have someone has three hour conversation where you could really get into the
00:23:24.280
nuts and bolts. And then it's like, Oh, not like that. Let's bring it back to CNN. Right. The thing
00:23:29.200
how corporate media works is they will present an issue, which apparently we're supposed to have
00:23:34.820
opinion about, and then the simultaneously give you what your opinion should be. So it allows
00:23:39.800
marginally intelligent, highly educated people to feel smarter than they are because they just
00:23:44.880
learned about this issue. And now they have perspective that was spoon fed to them. So it's
00:23:48.420
a very different paradigm, uh, than, uh, podcasts, which are long form and who knows where the
00:23:54.660
conversation is going to go. So there's a lot of young people and you might be best at answering
00:23:59.060
this, Michael. There's a lot of young people that, you know, are, they buy into some of the
00:24:04.800
Marxist bull crap of the bourgeoisie and everything else. Um, and they've always looked for the
00:24:11.300
little guy, the worker to rise up against the machine in the West, the machine has been both
00:24:19.700
good and bad for workers. Um, but generally speaking, people have, you know, their car and
00:24:26.080
their TV and their life and they're, they're okay with it. They're fine. And they're not rising
00:24:30.820
up against the machine. And so they knew that was the failure. Now it, all of these leaders
00:24:37.120
are the big money elites and they're in with corporations. They are the government and everything
00:24:43.580
else. They've become the bourgeoisie. Um, and they're, and they're stomping on the truck driver.
00:24:51.320
When does the average person wake up to that and going, wait a minute, uh, we become everything
00:24:59.900
we despise. I don't think the average person is capable of waking up. Um, the average person
00:25:06.180
is just going to be ballast. And if they're in Iran, they'd be very, you know, there'd be marginally
00:25:11.460
jihadi, uh, in certain areas in America, in the rural area, they're going to be red in the cities.
00:25:16.840
They're going to be hardcore pro mask. So they're really not in a position to wake up. What matters
00:25:21.920
in my view is the people who are opinion makers who are waking up, who are realizing how the game
00:25:27.640
is played. That what's brilliant about these truckers is that if you said five years ago,
00:25:32.460
that there might be some kind of false flag operation, that they're going to plant like
00:25:37.180
racist iconography in order to discredit you, everyone would think you're a complete tinhead
00:25:41.040
lunatic. And now it's a given that the government is, the Canadian government is going to try to
00:25:45.800
pull stuff like this. It's a given now that they are going to try to provoke the truckers into
00:25:50.500
violence in order to, um, have an excuse to clamp down on them with authoritarianism.
00:25:56.560
The amount of people on social media of who are, uh, elites who are asking for absolute violence
00:26:04.320
against these truckers, not only getting suspended from Twitter, of course, but they're all demanding
00:26:08.740
that these people get their tires slashed, that they get arrested. It is beyond because they're losing
00:26:14.720
their grip on power and they're losing their control of the conversation. They cannot abide
00:26:19.920
the concept of defiance because if you successfully defy them once, you could do it as much as you want.
00:26:25.900
And then they're really SOL because they do not have the ability to persuade. These are not charismatic
00:26:31.080
Great, great perspective. Michael, thank you so much. Michael Malice is the host of your welcome. You can follow
00:26:38.960
him on his website, michaelmalice.com or on Twitter at Michael Malice is, uh, his, uh, uh, book, the anarchist
00:26:47.220
handbook. You know, I don't believe in anarchy. He obviously does. Um, however, there's a lot that we can agree
00:26:55.260
on. It's strange. It's a time for very strange bedfellows. And, uh, I love Michael. He's really,
00:27:19.160
I'm the same Beck. You know how that is. I'm going to stop asking you that question because that is
00:27:24.560
your answer every time I'm the same, which is kind of sad, but kind of sad. Um, yeah,
00:27:29.480
I don't evolve. I'm not an evolving kind of guy like you are. Right. I know. I know. I know. Um,
00:27:35.300
well, how do you fix perfect? So Bill, uh, let's, uh, let's start with the biggest story of in of the
00:27:41.700
week. In your opinion, what do you think it is?
00:27:43.700
I'm going to buy an interview with my pal Lester Holt. Um, yeah, because it gives you an insight
00:27:51.160
into why the country's in chaos now. And it is. And, and so it's a 22 minute interview,
00:27:58.540
as you pointed out in your introduction earlier, I, I did three Superbowl interviews. Uh, mine were
00:28:05.960
17 minutes, uh, two with, uh, president Obama, one with president Trump. Um, and they are difficult
00:28:15.460
interviews to do because, uh, I had to do two of them live, uh, right before the Superbowl on
00:28:22.880
Sunday. And that was a tough one because, you know, Obama, he can filibuster. He can, he can give
00:28:29.620
you 20 minutes on your socks. Yeah. So, so can Donald Trump, you know,
00:28:34.080
Trump is a wanderer kind of guy. People don't know how hard it is to interview these guys because
00:28:40.460
you have a very limited time and you've got so many things you want to ask and it's easy for them
00:28:47.280
to make you look rude by interrupting. Uh, and Lester, from what I've seen, they released eight
00:28:54.260
minutes out of the 22 and you got to figure that's the tough stuff. Uh, Lester did his job. All right.
00:29:01.540
Unlike some of the other people in the past who, uh, would not challenge a Lester did. So there
00:29:08.060
were two things that struck out in the eight minutes that NBC released. The first is the
00:29:12.720
delusional world that Joe Biden lives in. And again, this is important. This is not just cheap
00:29:19.020
shotting a president for ideological reasons. If the leader of the free world lives in a delusional
00:29:26.180
world, that's going to come back to hurt everybody. So he says basically that no, no, no, no. Even
00:29:35.160
though the Pentagon told us that by the administration that it, this wasn't the right way to get out of
00:29:44.080
Afghanistan, I reject their report. So you go, Oh, you know, you're not a military expert. Neither is
00:29:56.020
anybody surrounding you in the white house. No one yet. There's voluminous evidence that you were told
00:30:03.940
just pulling everybody out in the middle of the night and abandoning a Bagram air base would lead
00:30:10.040
to disaster, which it did. And you reject that. That's delusional. Well, but it's, but it's more
00:30:17.700
than that, isn't it, Bill? I mean, it's not just delusional. The fact that he never took responsibility
00:30:23.220
for it or, or has paid any price for it is even a bigger problem. He's paid a price. And that's why
00:30:32.000
the, the stat you just cited 56% of Americans don't agree with anything he's ever done because
00:30:38.360
Afghanistan destroyed his credibility among independents. And so he did pay a price in the
00:30:45.900
court of public opinion. Now, the second, uh, interesting part was the inflation. So clearly
00:30:53.020
Biden, in the beginning of the inflationary spiral up, clearly said, ah, temporary. Don't worry about
00:31:00.380
it. Uh, don't worry about it. So now we're, or, you know, zero in and on eight, nine months
00:31:06.440
of higher prices for everything you need. And so hope goes, yeah, were you wrong? Did you
00:31:14.540
underestimate that? Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're a wise guy for asking that question.
00:31:20.320
Now, but with me doing that interview, I would have said, no, I'm not, I'm not a wise guy. I'm
00:31:25.980
doing my job. Inflation is hurting every single working class American. And you're sitting there
00:31:32.660
with a wrong prediction. Did you boot it or not? That's not a wise guy question. That's
00:31:40.520
what I would have done, which is why NBC news would never hire me. But it's, but it's also,
00:31:45.720
uh, you know, his explanation, he's like, let's look at what caused, uh, inflation. Uh, you
00:31:51.620
know, uh, we couldn't get chips for the cars and that's what's making cars. Well, what's making
00:31:56.420
my bread and my eggs and by gasoline go up? Right. But, and then he says something even
00:32:04.000
more absurd that if you pass my bill back better, $2 trillion in federal spending bill,
00:32:10.200
inflation will go down. I don't think there's an economist in the world that believes that.
00:32:16.600
And then it goes back to my initial, very perceptive analysis. Beck, he lives in a delusionary
00:32:24.060
world. Okay. So let's just say that's true. Where, what world do the people around him live
00:32:33.480
in? I mean, where is, you know, we heard the press, I hope God there's somebody in the white
00:32:39.800
house. That's going to stop, uh, Donald Trump from blowing up the whole world. Where are the
00:32:46.640
calls for anybody? I mean, you can't be this wrong and love the country, uh, and have people
00:32:55.720
around you that love the country and not say to you, Mr. President, um, you know, if you don't
00:33:02.060
change, I I've got to say something because this is, this is the worst track record for America
00:33:06.980
of all time. There's nobody, is he delusional or is he surrounded by people who, who were taking
00:33:14.800
this country in a completely different direction? Okay. Jimmy Carter did the same thing, but he
00:33:23.240
didn't do it as quickly. So Biden has brought the country to a bad place in a year. Carter
00:33:31.780
took him two years. Carter had a staff, Biden has a staff, Trump had a staff. And believe
00:33:38.920
me, if you went in and told Trump that he was screwing up, you aren't going to be there
00:33:44.300
long. Okay. Same thing with Biden. I mean, if you go in and say, you know, Mr. President,
00:33:52.360
with all due respect, I think we should probably tell the world that we miscalculated both inflation
00:33:58.240
and Afghanistan, but even though Afghanistan, we can't do anything about inflation, we're
00:34:02.780
going to, we're going to get down. And here are five things that we're going to do, um,
00:34:06.620
that you can go out and say now, would Biden fire the person? Probably. And it would be
00:34:14.380
Jill Biden who does it. As I have been telling my, uh, audience on the radio and on billoreilly.com
00:34:21.020
and it's been news. Jill Biden is the white house whisperer. And last week you saw her for the first
00:34:27.640
time go out and talk about policy. Yeah. What was that about? What was that about? That was about,
00:34:34.040
she, she gave a speech to the community college people in Virginia, no DC. And she said, well,
00:34:40.000
we're not going to get free community college. And it's a shame. Uh, both Joe and I think it's a
00:34:45.200
tragedy, blah, blah, blah. She had never really talked policy before, but I know that she is the
00:34:51.340
whisperer in the white house, far more powerful than, uh, Ron Klain and Susan Rice and the others.
00:34:58.920
And, you know, Joe, I don't think has the acumen with all due respect to her, uh, PhD in education
00:35:07.100
to run the country. But I think Joe Biden has more influence than anyone else on Joe Biden.
00:35:11.780
So you're a history buff, you know, Edith Wilson, Woodrow Wilson's wife. Do you think it's that
00:35:18.480
kind of situation and could get that bad where she really was the president?
00:35:31.960
Yeah. You see, at the time Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and became incapacitated. It was almost
00:35:42.760
over for that administration. And the, what happened in the country after world war one was
00:35:50.960
that the president basically sat back and didn't do much here. We're right in the middle. Um, not in
00:35:59.100
the middle. We're right at the beginning of the Biden administration. I compare Jill Biden and Nancy
00:36:04.180
Reagan. I think that's a better comparison because Nancy Reagan, once Ronald Reagan was shot. And as you
00:36:11.940
know, Becca, she read my book, killing Reagan, very closely, Nancy Reagan emerged as the most
00:36:17.560
powerful person in the white house because you could not see Ronnie. Couldn't see him. Couldn't
00:36:23.980
talk to him. And that includes his top advisors. Unless Nancy signed off on it. Now, Nancy had no
00:36:30.720
interest in public policy and did not get involved other than the drug, just say no thing. But Joe Biden
00:36:38.400
apparently does. And she's a very liberal woman, very, very liberal woman.
00:36:44.020
Yeah. I, you know, I will tell you that, um, this why I like, uh, Ron DeSantis so much. Uh, his wife
00:36:52.160
is makes him look like a flaming liberal. His wife is, I don't know. Very right now.
00:36:59.740
Yeah. And I mean, coming from New York to Florida, two different countries. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I mean,
00:37:08.120
it is absolutely incredible. Um, the life I live in New York and then I get on a plane and I'm down
00:37:15.420
here in Florida and it's totally different in every way. Yeah. Better in Florida. Um, but I don't
00:37:23.380
know DeSantis' wife. I have not partied with her as I did with Edith. Yeah. No, but I, I will tell
00:37:30.060
you that, um, I've heard that from multiple people that she, you know, I think she's Cuban,
00:37:36.360
isn't she? Uh, you know, or Cuban descent and she is, uh, very conservative and it is the wife
00:37:43.520
that you really need to watch, uh, because they wield a lot of power. Yeah. A lot of power. So Bill,
00:37:51.700
how bad you've lived through this before I've lived through this before this inflation number,
00:37:59.820
a lot of Americans, especially younger. If you, if you weren't aware in the 1970s, you have no idea
00:38:08.280
what's coming your way. Uh, and if it's 7.5% now that's a year average, you start dropping these,
00:38:15.960
you know, months off that were pretty good, uh, you know, uh, in relation to what we're going
00:38:22.100
through now, we're at least officially probably at what 10 this month. Well, there's a Pew study out
00:38:30.320
this week. It says seven in 10 Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. I don't believe that. I think
00:38:36.280
it's probably about 50, but even if it is 50, um, now you have, uh, more money going out
00:38:45.760
than you anticipated. And if you don't have any backup, any savings, as you know, this study
00:38:53.480
demonstrates, you're sinking deeper and deeper into the morass. And this is what is going to kill
00:39:02.380
the Democrat party and the progressive movement. So put Biden aside. He doesn't know economics.
00:39:11.860
He's going to, you know, just spousers. Yeah. Right. He's not going to solve the problem. Um,
00:39:20.020
I don't know what his economic team has in mind because Biden can't articulate it, but people vote
00:39:28.140
their wallet. They always have, they always will. Yeah. They'll watch cable, some of them
00:39:33.660
and they'll get mad about crack pipes being distributed, which isn't true by the way.
00:39:39.100
No, it was. Yes, it was bill. Yes, it was. They've changed it now. Yes. Yes. Right. Um,
00:39:47.900
but anyway, this is going to sink. So I, I'm telling my, uh, listeners and viewers in every
00:39:57.180
crossroads in life and every painful situation, certainly inflation is painful. People don't
00:40:03.720
have a lot of money. Of course it is. It's necessary to what they call to cliche course,
00:40:10.300
correct. So the biggest threat to our country now is the progressive movement. You would agree
00:40:15.820
with that, right? Yes. Oh my gosh. Yes. Okay. The only way to destroy the progressive movement
00:40:21.060
because the media is embedded in it. Media is not going to do it is for the people to experience
00:40:28.280
personal pain, which they are. And even if they don't like Trump or the Republicans or Mitch McConnell
00:40:35.780
or all of that, they're going to say, I've had it. So I want these people out. And I don't want to hear
00:40:44.080
any more progressive stuff. And that I believe is what is going to happen in November and beyond.
00:40:52.460
I think if the pain gets too acute, however, then progressive policies of we'll take care of
00:40:59.560
everybody and put them on the dole. You don't think so? That's what happened in the great depression.
00:41:04.340
No, because people, and you see it with COVID. That's the big indicator. Most Americans do not
00:41:13.680
want the government telling them what to do. There is a segment that wants government handouts
00:41:20.860
and doesn't mind being dependent on pinheads in Washington, but it is not a large segment.
00:41:27.440
And so, you know, I'm a pretty good evaluator of this country and people are watching this COVID
00:41:36.140
thing. You got to wear the mask. You got to get vaxxed. You got to do this. You got to do that.
00:41:41.180
You got to do the twist on Tuesday, you know, all of that. They don't like this. And if a country like
00:41:47.600
Canada, which is way left in America can devolve into chaos, which it has, Americans don't want
00:41:55.980
big nanny state. And so the progressives can say all day long, we're going to give you, give you,
00:42:01.720
give you. But I'm telling you, there's a wipe out coming. So do you think they can turn this
00:42:07.520
around? I mean, I don't think that it was all of a sudden they saw the numbers and were like,
00:42:11.280
oh my gosh, COVID, we can take the masks off. I think this was seeing poll numbers that made
00:42:17.760
a lot of the Democrats turn on a dime this week. Too late. Too late. Too late. Too late.
00:42:24.740
You know, and Biden cannot turn it around. I know you're not a big sports guy, but I am.
00:42:32.740
And if you have an aging athlete in baseball who can't hit the fastball anymore, okay, just can't
00:42:40.460
hit it. They throw it by him. It's not like he can do anything to reverse that. So you have a president
00:42:48.920
who cannot absorb complicated situations. He can't. So how are you going to ever turn it around?
00:43:03.720
Well, you've got a huge machine that is trying desperately. I can't believe they can do it.
00:43:10.740
But, you know, I just don't think I think inflation is going to get worse and worse and worse.
00:43:17.320
And the Federal Reserve is out of bullets. And if they if they start raising interest rates,
00:43:22.460
that's only going to hurt the people even more. And, you know, that'll only make the government
00:43:29.200
have to pay more interest on our debt. I mean, I just there's there's no way out of the economic
00:43:34.740
pain that the Fed knows that the Fed is independent of the Biden administration. So they're not
00:43:41.040
they'll raise it a little bit. Yeah. But what is the real threat to the progressive Democratic
00:43:45.960
Party is that the incompetence is going to rise. Yeah. Bill O'Reilly from from Bill O'Reilly dot com.
00:43:55.280
Check out his Web site. Check out his news report. He's there every night telling you what's going on.
