Summary
Did we blow up the Nordstrom pipeline and what does that mean and is it an act of war? Can we prove this or not? And who are the people in charge of the CIA and the Senate and the House of Representatives who don t know what's true and what's not? Plus, we have a warning for conservatives.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
hey everybody great uh great podcast for you today we start with did we blow up the nordstrom
00:00:07.140
pipeline and what does that mean uh we're getting into some some really dicey territory
00:00:14.820
and uh and people in the senate and congress don't know what's true and what's not can we
00:00:22.340
prove this and what's with the story that was released two hours later was kind of a tit for
00:00:29.340
tat oh yeah well look at this now breaking on cnn about vladimir putin are we watching a play
00:00:36.840
that's all coming up also uh bill o'reilly and um ai week continues we have a a great great professor
00:00:47.800
of computer science it's won the highest awards in machine learning and ai he has a happier version
00:00:55.340
of ai but still a warning especially to conservatives he says you're way behind that's coming up all on
00:01:02.340
today's podcast brought to you by jace medical the american society of health care pharmacists the
00:01:07.200
group that tracks the production of medications around the world they have declared a worldwide
00:01:11.800
shortage of many antibiotics specifically amoxicillin that is a critical drug used to
00:01:19.840
combat all kinds of infections you don't want to be out of antibiotics i mean that would not be good
00:01:27.160
now when we go on vacation sometimes you know we can go you know out of the country or mexico or we'll
00:01:33.760
we'll uh go up to our ranch in the mountains and you know we're 45 minutes an hour away from a hospital
00:01:40.580
let alone a doctor so if something happens up there can we just treat it ourself with amoxicillin
00:01:47.360
that's what the jace case from jace medical is all about when you can't get to a doctor or you can't
00:01:52.840
get the prescriptions jace medical has you covered go to jace medical.com jace medical.com look at
00:01:59.800
their jace case it has the antibiotics that you can always have on hand use the promo code beck10
00:02:05.580
and save 10 bucks off the order it's jace medical.com offer code beck10
00:02:10.820
you're listening to the best of the blend back program
00:02:22.420
all right i want to bring in uh i want to bring in uh jason betrill who is uh with me uh and is going
00:02:33.860
to explain exactly what is going on with this one report from one source so i say that uh clearly at
00:02:44.860
the beginning there's problems with this reporting because it is one source and i wouldn't take that
00:02:51.580
from the new york times as gospel uh so let's remember one source but it's pretty damning it has
00:03:00.400
a ton of facts tell me the story jason on what happened and where this report's coming from
00:03:06.900
i struggle to even really describe how to even tell the story because it's it sounds like are
00:03:11.600
you familiar with the term fan fiction yes it's like that's what it's like off the internet like
00:03:15.640
what would really happen if anik and skywalker didn't become darth vader this is the story right
00:03:20.800
that's what it sounds like right but i mean mike lee is exactly right if this is true this is an act
00:03:25.800
of war and what they're alleging is that the cia the biden administration came up with the plan
00:03:34.740
to eliminate the nordstrom 2 pipeline to blow it up and we all remember i think i even came on this
00:03:41.320
program and said i think you asked me it was like do you think this was us and i'd be like and then i
00:03:45.420
was like well no we would never risk something like a direct attack on a russian asset right never
00:03:51.720
risk it here's the thing i think it was germany or sweden somebody just released a report that showed
00:03:56.740
russia didn't do it yeah and how many countries have the ability to do something like this this was
00:04:04.000
not an easy uh hit not an easy hit and not even an easy hit for for americans i mean it would take a
00:04:11.340
long time i mean it would take very specific assets like you know seal team six or something like that
00:04:17.500
but the article goes into that they couldn't use a seal team six or anyone in jsoc's joint special
00:04:23.400
operation command because they'd have to go through congress now this is a big part of the story if true
00:04:28.420
they use uh some obscure navy divers that are not part of jsoc so then the cia could use them in a joint
00:04:35.920
intelligence operation not a military operation an intelligence operation that would allow them to keep
00:04:43.380
this quiet from congress now think about that like mike lee said this would be an act of war if we did
00:04:49.140
it and they found out but we didn't inform congress about it if true so there is multiple layers to this
00:04:56.320
even right off the bat who is this written by this is written by a guy named seymour hirsch uh he wrote
00:05:02.080
for the i think new york times he was a guy who got the um the um pulitzer for exposing the malay
00:05:11.340
yep vietnam so and he has done many you know exposés but they generally kind of lean against america do
00:05:22.300
they not yeah there was the one in uh well just the biggest the bigger one would be osama bin laden
00:05:27.680
questioning you know how all of that went down he even actually questioned osama bin laden's
00:05:31.920
culpability in 9-11 so it almost okay this is what you kind of see with journalists nowadays
00:05:36.760
especially you know that you we saw this in the russiagate stuff it's almost like they got on this
00:05:41.320
woodward and bernstein high yeah and they all want to top each other off of it so like where do you go
00:05:46.480
after topping something like you know woodward and bernstein they're like getting more and more
00:05:51.040
fantastical and always trying to one up well but not necessarily i mean this this story
00:05:56.820
is why you need true a credible press why you need journalistic standards and not activists
00:06:05.900
because we are dealing with a story now that if it is true the american people wouldn't have gone for
00:06:16.160
this but it's the american people if true that will pay the price it will be our sons and daughters
00:06:23.780
fighting a war with russia and probably half of the world because of something our out of control
00:06:32.080
deep state did yeah and we wouldn't have been for it now how do we prove it who do you believe
00:06:41.000
do you believe the investigators with congress do you believe the investigators from the new york times
00:06:48.780
who do you believe there's one source on this which i'd love to have because you were former
00:06:56.660
military intel so i would love to have your thought on this something this large because the story is
00:07:04.720
pages and pages and pages and has great detail in it yeah um it it's all coming from one source
00:07:13.580
what are the odds that something this secret this complex had more than a few maybe five maybe five
00:07:24.520
key holders that could unlock all of the information so let me just from my intel perspective and my real
00:07:30.900
world experience is afghanistan i was one of the first ground troops conventional into afghanistan
00:07:35.120
after 9-11 so i was part of the planning phase just on my small level my my unit i didn't know
00:07:42.120
that certain things that were going on in northern afghanistan knew a lot of stuff in south when we
00:07:46.600
got on the ground i didn't even know that there was um special forces in certain areas that had been
00:07:52.840
there for a while um that was not my need to know didn't even know that correct uh and that was right
00:07:58.800
before a war so just that perspective there's no way in my mind that a mid or lower level say that
00:08:07.880
carefully person would have operational knowledge in that detail you would need cabinet level uh or
00:08:17.580
director level access now it's interesting because the way you're phrasing this and you're being very
00:08:24.560
very accurate uh on things a cabinet level or director level might have this information why would
00:08:34.860
you bring up director level information on something this sensitive and i mean director level this was
00:08:43.000
done by the cia okay so at least in this report done by the cia so it would mean what like the director
00:08:52.780
of the cia why would he rat himself out i mean that's a really good question unless he was doing his
00:09:01.300
duty and did not believe in what they were doing uh is there any example of a director level spilling
00:09:08.880
their guts on something like this deep throat hmm what was it oh that's right that was the director of
00:09:17.320
the fbi right which we found out years was it decades oh decades yeah decades later decades later but
00:09:24.660
then we were always like there's no way like how was how was he getting all this information that's like
00:09:29.160
how the heck that was a big part of it who is your source never would have believed in my wildest dreams
00:09:34.240
that it was a direct the director of the fbi never and that's like like this like will we decades later
00:09:41.420
say how the heck did this guy get his information we find out was the director of the cia if it's true
00:09:46.300
if it's true now how where do you go from here where do we go from here because
00:09:52.140
no western ally is going to verify this no no western i mean even if it is true and they hate
00:10:02.000
the fact that it's true they know if we say oh you know what i think it was the united states
00:10:09.300
this is an act of war yeah and russia has the the righteous stance in the world to take us down
00:10:19.900
or attempt to take us down take us to war that is an act of war so what what what does this mean
00:10:29.280
how do we ever find out anything russia has actually responded and they've said that because of these new
00:10:36.280
air quote facts uh that the white house needs to respond to this or to answer of course the white
00:10:41.700
house the state department and the cia have all been asked and they've all categorically denied it but
00:10:46.600
the article was so specific to answer your question in certain ways that you know uh in time in the
00:10:53.280
time frames that they pulled this off for instance the article goes into there was a a big naval exercise
00:10:59.060
that they used as cover to send in these divers um and that exercise did happen that exercise did
00:11:05.480
happen he even puts a link into their specific excuse about having using divers to uh show off the
00:11:13.420
capabilities of their mind clearing uh capabilities um but it's it's i mean you know even satan uses
00:11:21.200
some truth and then mixes it with with falsehood right so i mean you know that doesn't prove anything
00:11:28.760
right right but um so there's that which maybe they can i don't know use some kind of maybe they
00:11:34.040
were surveilling the areas maybe they could look at something i don't know but then he also goes in
00:11:37.920
very specifically the type of mind they use to get around the russian detection uh capabilities
00:11:43.260
they go into that then they go into and this is this kind of seemed weird about how they were going
00:11:48.180
to detonate like 72 hours or 48 hours after this exercise right and then all of a sudden they had
00:11:54.220
this after afterthought of oh maybe that seems kind of suspicious maybe we shouldn't just have it on a
00:11:59.360
time detonation a couple of days after the exercise that doesn't that doesn't jive with no it doesn't
00:12:04.200
so then they were like oh let's send in this like buoy that like has this high-tech ping that can you
00:12:09.960
know we'll drop it from a plane and it'll set off these uh charges that also seems odd to me that also
00:12:15.920
seems something that the russians might be able to verify so i i mean i wouldn't be surprised right now
00:12:21.500
if there are russian surveillance planes flying over the area gathering intel possibly you know attempting to
00:12:29.260
go and look take a second look i don't i definitely don't think we've heard the last of this so i'm
00:12:34.540
sure they're going to try and verify it if they can but they're russians really so even if they don't
00:12:39.580
they're probably just going to say yeah they did it anyway right i mean i would i would too i would
00:12:44.880
and quite honestly i'm not sure we didn't do it i'm not either yeah which is wild i would never
00:12:50.580
would have thought of this you know 20 years ago i would have said absolutely not no way no way
00:12:56.880
um but if you hit me today if 9-11 happened and we heard you know bush and clinton and we had
00:13:06.420
exactly what happened with sandy burger um at the national archives where he's smuggling documents out
00:13:13.280
about bush and clinton um and anything related to uh osama bin laden prior to the bombing
00:13:20.980
i i i i i would deeply question our government we we have come a long way on finding out how bad
00:13:30.760
our government can be and has been in the past the problem with this is is you are going to pay the
00:13:38.380
price if this happened or if russia decides to go with it you your son your daughter you're going to
00:13:48.000
pay the price and that's what's so infuriating because if it is true the american people should
00:13:56.200
demand that these people whoever was involved whoever had this decision uh is in prison and punished
00:14:04.940
and you know what i would be fine i don't care who it is i don't let me just say this and it wasn't
00:14:10.360
it couldn't have been because he wasn't in office but to show you how passionate even if it was the
00:14:16.940
former president go ahead send him over to russia let him let him face a trial over in russia i'm sorry
00:14:24.460
but you do something like this and you don't inform congress i mean this is this is the tweet from mike
00:14:31.980
lee last night i'm troubled that i can't immediately rule this suggestion that the u.s blew up the nordstream
00:14:40.860
out he can't rule it out i checked with a bunch of senate colleagues among those i've asked none
00:14:49.300
were ever briefed on this if it turns out to be true we've got a huge problem yeah we do yeah we do
00:14:57.060
this is the best of the glenbeck program we want to welcome uh our uh our guests from the university
00:15:06.720
of washington computer science uh he is uh a professor there and also the author of a book
00:15:13.400
came out a few years ago the master algorithm his name is pedro domingos pedro how are you sir
00:15:19.800
great how are you i'm very good very good uh you know i was a little nervous when i heard university
00:15:25.380
of washington i'm like okay well i don't think he'll even come on but i i welcome you here uh we have
00:15:32.480
had a heck of a time uh trying to get people to talk about ai because uh sometimes they're very very
00:15:41.080
left and they don't want to be on the program and i'm like well this is a human issue this is not
00:15:48.000
something that the right should be educated or the left should be educated on the right shouldn't be
00:15:52.800
um and especially with what we are facing do you agree that this is one of the greatest things
00:16:01.220
and possibly one of the worst things oh yes i very much agree and and also part of the problem is
00:16:08.700
that the left is on top of it i don't think the right has quite woken up yet but it needs to
00:16:12.900
so you i've heard you describe this as uh the greatest authoritarian tool ever invented
00:16:21.860
that's correct so ai is potentially the greatest tool of totalitarianism that has ever been invented
00:16:31.760
ai is a very powerful technology it can be used for good or bad but in particular if you're a dictator
00:16:37.780
ai is the dream come true ai will do everything you want it will surveil everybody 24 by 7 you will
00:16:45.000
never get tired it will never question you it'll keep records it will you know it's it's um it's scary
00:16:51.800
it's total and yes uh i mean ai can do things that no dictator would even in their dreams think of
00:17:00.640
50 years ago and unfortunately in a country like china it's already happening i mean and you know
00:17:07.240
yeah what's amazing is if you know history back in world war ii ibm with the punch cards they were
00:17:15.880
germans were doing their census with these punch cards and it was the punch cards that uh allowed
00:17:23.220
the germans to find the jews they could just sort everybody by their race etc etc and that greatly
00:17:30.000
helped them i think if you had technology in the hands of somebody like hitler or mao
00:17:35.100
you wouldn't have a jew left on the planet today would you agree with that it's it's it's that
00:17:42.540
uh all seeing all knowing and in the wrong hands would could annihilate and carry out genocide unlike
00:17:52.020
anything we've ever seen it is but on the other hand the jews would be using the technology as well
00:17:57.920
in fact if you look at what's happened in hong kong for example the protesters there actually got
00:18:02.700
very savvy about using tech to counteract the chinese tech so i don't know who would win out in
00:18:08.060
the end i think you know i wouldn't give up the jews just like that but the point is if they didn't
00:18:13.000
use tech and the and the nazis use tech they would be toast okay so there was so much to talk to you
00:18:20.740
about because you're into machine learning which um um if you can explain break it down to a you know
00:18:28.760
dummy like me what machine learning is and why we should care about it
00:18:32.880
so ai is getting computers to do the things that only humans traditionally can do like solving
00:18:39.620
problems and reasoning and seeing and talking machine learning in particular is getting computers
00:18:44.840
to learn the same way children and grown-ups do so it's a very powerful thing is the computer instead
00:18:51.480
of having to be programmed you can actually learn just by imitating people by looking at data you can
00:18:57.240
learn to drive a car by watching videos of people driving cars you can learn to play chess by
00:19:02.520
playing against itself and so on and machine learning is at the root of all these things that ai is
00:19:08.280
doing today and does it have a way to recognize ow don't touch the stove stove is hot that i mean
00:19:18.380
that's an important part of learning in fact this is a part of learning called reinforcement learning
00:19:25.360
and the term actually comes from psychology which is when you touch the stove and burn yourself you
00:19:30.520
learn to not do it again and we have algorithms in machine learning to do essentially the same thing
00:19:34.920
okay so um when you look at um the the principles of machine learning and we have to understand that
00:19:47.760
the algorithm we have an algorithm that we use and machines are developing this algorithm and it the
00:19:56.520
tremendous side of of this is just making your life really really easy and even all the way down to
00:20:05.860
helping you find the perfect spouse and i mean really perfect spouse right well machine learning can do
00:20:13.040
a lot of different things for you uh think of all the things that we learn to do if the computer can
00:20:18.200
learn to do them for you not only can it make your life a lot easier by taking away a lot of the routine
00:20:23.600
stuff you can now do things to an extent and in an amount that you couldn't before if you have a
00:20:29.440
project that you pay a few people to work on you could potentially have not just a few ais working on
00:20:34.500
it but a million or a billion so you know whatever it is that you want to do machine learning you can
00:20:40.440
think of it it's like an intelligence multiplier you now have a thousand or a million times more
00:20:45.880
intelligence at your disposal but it's not but it's not just um uh intelligence i mean talk to me about
00:20:54.300
the digital twin theory that on dating for instance um you know it it will date your digital twin that
00:21:03.200
knows you better than you know you will go out and you know basically go on digital dates with
00:21:11.660
somebody else's digital twin and it could do that you know a billion times and find somebody that you
00:21:18.520
would have never found yes that's a great example so these days you can in principle date you know all
00:21:25.940
sorts of different people but you don't have time to date them in real life and then usually waste a lot
00:21:30.800
of your time just on dates maybe that don't really pan out and what machine learning increasingly is going
00:21:36.520
to let you do is there's a model of you really a digital version of you that can go on simulated dates
00:21:43.840
with this the models of other people and do this you know an arbitrary number of times and then what
00:21:50.460
the system does it says look here are the top 10 people that i dated as as your you know avatar as they
00:21:57.620
called and you know and do you want to date these in real life now and then you can do that and then you
00:22:02.700
give it some feedback and that time next time maybe it finds you even better people so anytime you have
00:22:08.400
to make choices whether it's just you know on the web or listening to something on the radio machine
00:22:13.460
learning already helps you but this can go as far as helping you choose a major choose a job choose a
00:22:19.020
company to work for and even choose a mate for life and i mean this is not a theoretical possibility
00:22:24.180
there are already children today who wouldn't have been born if not for the ai that much that they're
00:22:30.240
that matched up their parents online it wasn't with a simulation yet it was by looking at
00:22:34.480
questionnaires and date and whatnot but this is where things are headed right and so i i just want to set
00:22:40.620
up some of the good things that could happen um tell me the good things that will happen with eye
00:22:47.420
tracking you know the the apple has their three thousand dollar um uh um virtual reality um glasses coming out
00:22:58.600
um and augmented reality and it has a camera pointed directly at your eyes too and it's tracking
00:23:05.500
and what will that information do on the positive side it will do a lot of things because your eyes
00:23:13.980
you think of them as input it's how you see things but they're also output if you're looking at my eyes
00:23:19.200
while i'm talking you can tell all sorts of things about me and in particular what i'm interested in
00:23:24.560
where i'm going and and in particularly in vr as i move my eyes the scene needs to change as i move
00:23:30.440
them and and you need ai you need computer vision to do that so if you think about the way people
00:23:35.340
interact with computers you know it's in the beginning it was by typing and now there's a mouse
00:23:39.800
and so on but really ultimately you'd like to interact them as just to interact with the real world
00:23:44.660
and and and eye tracking will let you do that so let me take it again back to dating but if i'm tracking
00:23:51.260
your eye i know when you look at a picture what you look at first and then what you look at second
00:23:59.160
and third um and if i get enough pictures in front of you i pretty much know the woman that you're
00:24:07.040
attracted to i i know what you like and what you don't like correct yes indeed and even even a finer
00:24:14.420
detail right you you can tell exactly what my path was from somebody's nose to their left eye to their
00:24:20.520
right eye to whatever so think about knowing what somebody's interested in that level of detail
00:24:25.660
and this is what we're heading towards and what would that tell you from if you're going from one
00:24:30.380
eye to the other to the nose what how why is that important well i'm just giving that as an example you
00:24:36.460
know people have actually done this and and you know your eyes are typically what you look at most
00:24:41.160
when you're looking at someone uh you know or or your or the mouth when they're speaking and and so on
00:24:46.340
and so forth and you can look at for example how how people look at different pictures and what parts
00:24:51.960
they focus on versus what parts they focus on so for example you could tell what parts of somebody's
00:24:56.760
body somebody's looking at right right for better or worse so tell me um tell me uh there is so much
00:25:04.280
information on each of us and it used to be well this is metadata so we we don't we we don't know who
00:25:11.560
anybody is but ai can now break down that metadata and assign it to individuals right one of the things
00:25:21.200
that ai is doing is it's it's it's finding ways to make sense of all of the data that is out at all
00:25:30.640
times correct yes in the early days of the internet there was this joke that on the internet no one knows
00:25:36.920
you're a dog because it was so anonymous and it's ironic because it's precisely the opposite this is
00:25:42.100
on the internet in some ways the the companies that you're interacting you know you're better than
00:25:46.040
anybody else because they can see everything that you've clicked on and everything that you've done
00:25:50.360
now in some ways that's a good thing because they're using that to figure out what you prefer
00:25:54.740
right what products you want to buy what you know things you want to listen to etc etc
00:26:00.320
so this personalization is very important because in a world of infinite choice
00:26:04.620
without personalization you know you're basically helpless on the other hand of course it'll it
00:26:09.720
also makes it possible to potentially manipulate you repress you who knows what so we are uh we're
00:26:16.340
talking to pedro domingos he is a uh professor computer science professor at university of
00:26:21.300
washington he's also the author of the master algorithm um which is is that kind of like the grand
00:26:28.580
unifying theory but just of algorithms that's exactly the idea is that there are different
00:26:36.180
uh algorithms to do machine learning that solve different problems but to get to human level ai we
00:26:43.260
need to solve all of them at the same time and the goal is to have a single algorithm that combines
00:26:48.180
them all and there's some way that for example in physics there's a theory of all the forces and
00:26:52.500
and in biology there's a theory of our cells work and so on do you believe in the singularity
00:26:59.800
meaning a the merging of man and machine that that's inevitable and b the singularity of consciousness
00:27:10.100
of uh computers i believe in the singularity in the sense that the humans and machines will merge in
00:27:19.240
fact we're already merging the way things get done is an ever more intricate miss miss mix of humans
00:27:25.280
and and computers but i don't think the singularity will happen in the sense that ray kurzweil has
00:27:31.700
described where intelligence in the universe just goes to infinity that's what a singularity is something
00:27:37.160
going to infinity i think you know there are physical limits on what intelligence can be and and how it
00:27:43.600
works and also you know there's this notion that in the singularity people just don't understand the ai at
00:27:48.900
all anymore and you know these days we have technology that in many ways we don't understand
00:27:54.140
but i don't think you'll ever be the case that we completely don't understand it and completely
00:27:58.440
bypasses it and most important the idea in the singularity is that like now humans have lost
00:28:03.700
control right it's the ais that run the world and bye bye humans and i think we can stay and probably
00:28:09.940
should stay in control forever and ai can be very powerful but still be under our control is actually
00:28:16.720
something that people often don't understand is just because we make the ai very smart doesn't
00:28:21.300
necessarily mean that it's going to take over unless we let it unless we let it uh and exactly
00:28:27.800
unless we let it or worse unless we let people you know like the bad guys are trying to control ai
00:28:32.480
correct you got to control ourselves i mean i that's that's one of the things i've said this for
00:28:37.040
years and years and years don't fear ai fear the people who are writing the programs for ai watch
00:28:45.080
those people because those who control it can use it for their own devices but ai is neither bad nor
00:28:53.680
good it's whose hands is it in control of exactly i mean an ai is like a car right you know the bank
00:29:01.940
robbers can use a car that's not a reason to not have cars or to you know forbid highways it's a
00:29:07.120
reason for the police to have faster cars than the bank robbers do and it's the same thing with ai
00:29:11.600
it can use for good or bad and at the end of the day you know what matters is to use it so everybody
00:29:16.880
needs to learn how to use ai so that they use it in their interest so there's not the government
00:29:22.180
using ai or companies using ai to you know make decisions for them or even worse dictate what they do
00:29:27.940
you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:29:33.760
hey if you haven't already gone to glenbeck.com get access to the research from last night's
00:29:42.820
wednesday night special all about artificial intelligence it includes the videos that come
00:29:48.520
from china i mean it is it's some spectacularly spooky stuff it really is you can find it now at
00:29:56.460
glenbeck.com uh and get ahead of this be able to teach this to your friends on what is on our
00:30:03.420
doorstep uh you can also when you sign up for the newsletter you'll not only get that as a bonus today
00:30:09.180
but you will also get my show prep every day you'll get about 60 to 80 stories sometimes that i think are
00:30:16.680
important but really only about 15 of them will make it on the air but they're all worth reading uh and you
00:30:24.060
can find that and get that free at glenbeck.com last night i got a text from mike lee it said uh
00:30:30.960
check my twitter feed so i did if false slander if true war and it was the story about how we may have
00:30:40.360
blown up the the nordstream pipeline i wrote to him right before i came on the air uh today and i said
00:30:47.780
you know so what do i tell the people and and he said i would tell your audience we don't know whether
00:30:54.220
or not this is true um loan author writing on substack relying on a single store source isn't good but
00:31:02.120
it's we we have no confidence either way is it true i don't know but if it's true it's a real
00:31:11.780
problem a huge quoting huge problem of epic proportions plus who who else might have done
00:31:17.760
this who else had the capacity mike will be joining me tomorrow to uh flesh that out but i wanted to
00:31:24.000
get bill o'reilly on to see if he has an initial take because i think this is all about the loss
00:31:29.600
of the press and credibility we don't know who to believe and what to believe bill welcome
00:31:36.920
back i'm sending you some free stuff before we get into this on uh team normal are you on team
00:31:46.080
normal i don't i don't know what team normal is if okay so if you're the head of team normal i think
00:31:51.360
you might want to read sending it to you anyway so it's team normal versus team crazy yeah yeah you
00:32:00.040
if you listen to uh governor huckabee sander's speech yeah so i'm on team normal i know that's been
00:32:06.840
disputed yes yes but on billoreilly.com we got the hats and the shirts we got bumper stickers okay
00:32:13.180
and if you want to be on team normal all right and i think you do beck i would like a team do you sell
00:32:19.560
the team crazy uh we know we don't want to promote the team crazy well i you know i thought i could
00:32:25.400
just wear it once in a while as a dad around the house you know what i mean all right now seymour
00:32:32.080
hershey who wrote this story on substack about the pipeline is a loon okay lost his mind about i
00:32:38.840
don't know 30 years ago in my opinion my humble opinion it's a uh subjective analysis of mr hershey
00:32:45.100
did good work in vietnam yep um but after that it was just crazy time yeah he he has come up with a
00:32:51.960
lot of things um and not usually verifiable no never borne out yeah he loves he loves this
00:32:59.820
uh knowing the biden administration the way i do i think it's almost impossible
00:33:06.500
that joe biden would uh order uh a an attack on the nordstrom pipeline he just doesn't have
00:33:17.500
that kind of grit and that could start a world war with nooks so i would say
00:33:26.420
to senator lee with respect i don't believe the story as it stands well he said he in all fairness
00:33:36.380
that's what he said yeah i don't believe it but i can't dismiss it either well i can't dismiss
00:33:42.940
martians from venus i mean you know they would be what are they tourists on venus why would martians
00:33:50.100
be on venus conspiracy route all day long but i'm a fact-based guy correct and the only people
00:33:58.060
really watching is you're never going to get any reporting out of russia that's worth anything yes
00:34:02.700
you can't believe anything correct but the swedes olav and the swede right and and uh that group over
00:34:11.660
there would yeah they're watching it right so at this point i think this isn't really you know
00:34:20.200
something that americans should be concerned about um do you want to get into the state of the union
00:34:24.900
because i have one thing that everybody missed back uh yeah i do but i want to take this this
00:34:30.120
conversation one step further sure the problem with this story bill is is we have been lied to so
00:34:38.540
many times by our administration by our media that i find myself in a position to where i can't make a
00:34:48.300
call on a few things like this i'm like i don't think we did that but if we did do that it'd be really
00:34:55.760
horrible but i don't think we could ever prove it because no one is a journalist anymore nobody
00:35:02.720
actually even if you were a journalist i am a journalist and i can scuba dive if you want to
00:35:10.900
put me in a little bell right oh i'd love to put you in a little bell i know you yeah yeah jealous
00:35:16.720
all right um anyway all right but it's impossible you just can't get to that kind of a story
00:35:24.580
so do you do you believe we'll ever find out who blew it up because somebody did
00:35:31.640
i you know look i don't know whether that is a physiological fact that somebody did you're you're
00:35:39.360
way under the water you're got all kinds of combustibles going through the pipeline certainly
00:35:46.080
it could have been uh some kind of uh malfunction so i don't think i would go with sabotage 100 at this
00:35:54.480
point i think the swedes and elsa yeah and her sister you know that her sister were there
00:36:00.080
yeah yeah they i believe they investigated it was it was sabotage okay so tell me what we missed on
00:36:07.620
the state of the union okay and and the guy in the wall street journal just ripped off my analysis
00:36:13.640
henninger is his name today so right after the the uh state of the union i did instant analysis right on
00:36:22.600
radio and television that's what i do for a living and i said look did you not pick up
00:36:27.780
the living wage comment and you're an expert at this at the end of it he's going everybody should
00:36:35.820
be in a union because everybody should have a living wage and everybody should have health care you know
00:36:40.260
the usual a living wage okay is a marxist tenet yes that means the government sets everybody's salary
00:36:49.520
nobody no corporation company is going to set a living wage so i brought it to cuomo last night i do a hit
00:36:55.680
with him on wednesday on news nation which you should watch just because you'll be entertained
00:37:00.740
back all right and i said to him hey did you catch this and of course he said no but then he started
00:37:09.100
to do the the little dance about well he meant minimum wage i said no he didn't he didn't there we
00:37:16.520
already have minimum wage laws he meant living wage so fast forward this morning open a wall street
00:37:23.280
journal which is worth reading on its editorials page sign and there's a manager going oh uh biden
00:37:30.160
has come out of the closet as a socialist and that's true but here's the real tragic part
00:37:36.740
biden doesn't even know what a living wage means he doesn't even know it's part of the carl
00:37:44.380
marx program he didn't write that speech he went over it 15 times because and he delivered it pretty
00:37:51.800
well you gotta be honest he had good energy he didn't look befuddled um he had good energy i
00:37:58.260
don't know what they had that delivery to what he usually does stammers around with that was light
00:38:03.140
years better but he didn't write any of it and unlike trump and obama they didn't write either
00:38:08.980
but they edited heavily both of them but i don't know whether by but i doubt that he's sitting there
00:38:16.320
with the sharpie editing i doubt it he pretty much does what he's told to do by susan rice
00:38:22.700
the new york times did a whole story on this and said he does edit and he's looking for because they
00:38:30.300
had several insiders of the white house insider and they said that he edits and he marks it up
00:38:37.600
where he needs to pause and he looks for because he has a strong rule no acronyms and words that he
00:38:45.300
thinks he might stutter he takes those out uh jill biden does not not him i'm not listen whenever you
00:38:53.380
see anonymous sources new york times forget it no forget it no i mean yeah they want to make them
00:39:02.020
look good so they oh an insider told me okay i i just can't even imagine him with his concentration
00:39:09.920
span being 18 seconds all right sitting there with an hour and 12 minute speech going over it line by
00:39:18.820
line now what he does do is read the teleprompter and he reads it and he reads it and he reads it
00:39:23.980
and they have built in in the teleprompter pause right stop right smile grimace um bill let me uh
00:39:37.440
let me ask you he ad-libbed a few things that apparently were not in the speech and one of those
00:39:42.420
was his angry angry response about who wants to be president z in china nobody and his he goes from
00:39:52.720
like okay to screaming flaming mad in an instant that sounds like me
00:40:01.600
well look i'm not going to analyze his emotional capabilities i mean you've all see he taught
00:40:13.820
called some reporter a dog pony soldier or something i mean it's just incoherent gibberish
00:40:19.820
um and so i don't even bother with that what really really disturbs me and this is not in the
00:40:27.500
forefront of the american people's mind they're calling him a liar and they always a liar he says
00:40:32.980
he's delusional beck oh he he lives in a world of delusion he thinks he's doing a good job with the
00:40:42.320
economy he believes that he is a deficit cost cutter he believes this stuff okay and it's so far from
00:40:51.800
reality but we all know older people who you go in and then they're there they are and it's the same
00:40:59.820
syndrome and run for office again this man is going downhill faster than lindsey von do you think
00:41:08.240
this is going to get better with him no i mean no i'm just sitting there going this country if this
00:41:16.800
man wins another four-year term this country is going to be damaged beyond repair we can repair it now
00:41:27.120
i have about 70 seconds i have to ask you about the spat between donald trump and and uh ron
00:41:34.960
desantis what what is trump doing stop with this you know i agree 100 um i agree it's it's a terrible
00:41:45.480
tactic he doesn't need he doesn't he doesn't if he would yeah if he would just but it's yeah it's all
00:41:53.680
about discipline with him you know that i know i know i know it's emotion and discipline he's gonna
00:41:59.760
have a tough time you know getting that nomination unless he changes course fairly quickly bill o'reilly
00:42:06.500
from bill o'reilly.com make sure you watch his no spin zone every night on bill o'reilly.com
00:42:11.920
uh he's also got uh products and his latest book also available online at bill o'reilly.com bill
00:42:18.780
thanks talk to you again all right look for that gear man i want to see you wearing that hat
