Best of the Program | Guest: Bill O'Reilly | 6/21/19

Welcome to the podcast.

Today, big news about Iran, what actually happened there.

Drone shot down, Trump

coming out and saying he was about to attack and then decided at the last minute not to.

It's a fascinating conversation about what does this mean?

Where do we go from here?

And

the kind of perspective of this really escalating in Iran.

We also talk about

Iran with Bill O'Reilly.

He's on for the hour.

We talk Iran with him, what Trump is

looking to do here.

He's got a book out about Donald Trump, and he can kind of give you the back room sort of perspective there.

And what is going on in the media as well, the way they're covering this.

And we talk about, will Syria give you cancer?

The answer to that, spoiler alert, is no, but the ridiculous environmental study trying to convince you of it is what's really fascinating and how the media has embraced it.

And ABC News picking up on Ukraine and China and those stories that we talked about a few months ago.

And they're starting to pick up on this too with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is in a little bit of trouble now.

We're going to cover that.

And this weekend, if you happen to be a subscriber to this podcast, where you are right now, you're going to get a bonus episode.

It's going to come out.

It's the Glenbeck Weekly Podcast Interview this week with Blake Harris, a guy who covered technology, had no intent on doing a political book, but realized a guy who is a

multi-millionaire tech inventor was targeted and eventually fired

from

Facebook because he supported Donald Trump.

That entire interview happens this weekend, right here on the podcast.

You're listening to

the best of the blend back program.

Triad Mobile is

is a phone service

that will give you all of the great coverage that you want.

They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.

Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.

But most of these cell companies,

they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard hard against.

It's true.

Why'd you do that?

You can go with Patriot Mobile.

They were created to solve that problem.

They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.

Go to patriotmobile.com/slash blaze.

Get started today.

When you use the offer code Blaze, they're going to waive the activation fee for up to two lines.

PatriotMobile.com/slash Blaze or 1-800 of Patriot is the place to go.

So last night,

I wake up and I

look at the news and I see that the president has authorized a strike on Iran and that we had dispatched

military

and we had already

shot planes off and they were on their way and I don't know what their target was.

I would imagine their nuclear facilities, etc., etc.

And we had our ships positioned also to attack.

Now, he gave the go order.

Now, when we found out about it is when the go order then was rescinded.

Now, I'm trying to remember, Stu, have you ever seen a go order rescinded before in your lifetime?

Usually, I'm sure there have been some, but they're not widely reported.

The next day, in particular, maybe you find that out

in a history book, right?

Like 10 years later when reviewing what went on.

I don't think I can ever remember seeing something where the next day, kind of in real time,

the night of, that this was sort of reversed, which makes me wonder,

is this exactly what Donald Trump wants them to think happened, right?

Like, is this exactly the type of thing where you're saying

Trump wants to say, look,

he's warning Iran, look, we were about to do this, and that's how close you are to crossing this line.

I'll give you one more chance.

I wonder if that was true.

Yeah, now there's a couple of, there's a couple of ways to look at this.

And I want to take this all apart this hour.

And I just want to take you through some critical thinking on this.

Because, you know, if you listen to the press, I listened to the daily this morning from the New York Times.

I'm Michael Barbaro, and this is

the daily.

Hi, I'm your host, and this is the way you're supposed to talk on shows like this.

So I listened, and if you're listening to the New York Times, you're listening to

the left, you're hearing the story that Donald Trump is a warmonger and that people in his administration and the president have just been itching for a fight.

Donald Trump is not a warmonger.

Okay, let's be really clear on that.

There is no way that you can look at Donald Trump and say, yep, he's a warmonger.

Where is the record of him warmongering?

He has been against every action the United States has taken, I think, in the last 20 years.

I think, I think he may have been for the initial strike in

Afghanistan.

But after that, he wasn't for any of that.

He was one of the most outspoken people about you're destabilizing the Middle East.

This is stupid.

This is bad.

What are we doing?

Time to end the war.

Bring the guys home.

So let's be very clear.

Donald Trump is not itching for a fight.

Donald Trump is not a warmonger.

Now, you could say that the people around Donald Trump, well, they're warmongers.

I'm Michael Barbaro, and I want to talk to you about warmongering.

Well, that has to, you have to take a very cynical view of people like John Bolton.

John Bolton, who I would consider a friend,

John Bolton, who is a guy who I have talked to many, many, many, many, many times.

I agree with him probably 90% of the time, full full disclosure, because I think he is a truth teller.

He is a guy who doesn't put up with garbage.

He's very much Ronald Reagan.

They're lying to you.

Trust but verify.

Let's not be dopes here.

Now, 20 years ago, when John Bolton and I first started talking, you could say that he might have been more war-mongering when it came to Iran than he is right now.

Because just like North Korea, Korea, if they get the bomb, they are going to be on the world stage whether you like it or not.

And is the minute they have that, they will do exactly what North Korea is doing, and that is whatever the hell they want.

Now, the Obama administration emboldened them.

Trump knew that this was a bad deal.

So he rejected that deal, pulled it off the table, because that's the only way that you can stop Iran.

You either have to do military strikes

and hope you don't destabilize the entire Middle East all over again,

you either strike and take them out and have regime change through a military action, which I think we've had 20 years now of going, that doesn't always work out so well.

Or you encourage and you kind of do what Ronald Reagan did with a Pope and Margaret Thatcher

now let's just let's go through this

these were two attacks on two tankers

that's what happened oil tankers were coming out into the straits right there by Iran and they're coming out they're two tankers from

two separate

countries.

Do you remember which ones they were, Stu?

They were not enemies of ours.

um

and they this straight can you just look up where the tankers come from Stu wasn't it uh Saudi Arabia and Japan wasn't it

was it Japan it could be just look it up just to make sure but they're they're they're um they're western i know this i mean they do business with the west so if it's saudi arabia it's not a western country but they do business um

providing us oil and providing europe oil So now what would be the motivation for the United States to blow up two tankers?

To pin it on Iran?

Wow, that seems pretty dicey because if we got caught, I don't think that would work out well.

And in today's world, you generally get caught.

It would be an enormous conspiracy.

So New York Times and anybody else that wants to go down that maybe we we were involved, which I haven't heard yet, but it is implied, I think, in reporting.

This is kind of suspicious.

Okay, all right.

I'll take you at that.

Now, the Pentagon says that they have the evidence.

They can show it.

They can show everything about it.

Now, maybe they can, maybe they can't, but let's just think logically.

What would our motivation be?

You would have to think, well, the United States is going to blow up the tankers, so that will hurt our allies because that will disrupt oil coming.

Now, we've got lots of oil, so we could be fine, but Europe's not.

Now, Donald Trump is a capitalist.

He believes in making money.

Hmm.

He doesn't want to disrupt oil because that could collapse the economy of the United States if the economy of Europe also collapses.

Boy, that's quite a stretch.

I have to think this guy and those around him are absolute madmen, that there's no logic going on.

Here's a group of people that say they're for the free market, but they're going to set up Iran by blowing up two tankers

that will hurt Europe, especially if there's a war.

Hmm.

How's that going to work out for his election?

Now, what is the motivation of Iran?

Well, Iran is being squeezed hard by the United States, and they're collapsing.

Now, if you wanted to do the

Ronald Reagan Pope Margaret Thatcher thing, you need a Pope and Margaret Thatcher to show up.

Can anyone point to anyone in Europe that has a spine to stand against the leading country of terrorism in Europe?

Do you find a Thatcher?

Do you find a a Pope?

For this to be effective, you have to get Europe off of the fence.

Ah, Mr.

Beck, that's why the United States is doing it.

Yes, but again, you have to think that the people in our Pentagon and on our side are absolute madmen.

I'm not willing to go there.

I'm willing to be suspicious.

I'm willing to say, well, let's look at the evidence.

But I'm not willing to say that the people in our Pentagon and the White House and the president is so war-mongering that he would do this.

Because it just doesn't, it won't work.

It would not work.

They need to send a message to Europe.

We have you by the short hairs.

We have you right where we want you.

If you stand with them, we can disrupt your economy and your oil.

That's why Europe didn't come out and say, no, Iran didn't do it.

It's why nobody in Europe came out and said, yes, Iran did do it.

What did they say?

France and Germany came out and said, well, I think we should proceed with caution here.

I'm not really sure

if this is enough time to be able to really analyze if it was them.

They didn't say it wasn't.

They didn't say it was.

Now, the press will say, well, see, this is how much trust is lost.

No, that's not how much trust is lost.

They know in Germany and in France that they are surrounded by people who are like-minded in their faith, who are terrorists,

who would like to disrupt France and Germany, and they know any war with Iran will not go well internally.

They also know any war with Iran, it will disrupt their economy.

So what you have here is a bunch of people without a spine, or you could look at it positively and say, it's just a bunch of pragmatists.

This won't work out well for us, so we're just going to play it here on the side.

That is what Iran does not want to happen.

The United States does not want this to happen either.

Pick a side.

There is no Margaret Thatcher and there is no Pope,

but there appears to be a Reagan.

Now,

this Reagan has been saying, well, look at, you know, there's an evil regime.

It's an evil regime.

Yes, that when something happened, they blew our drone out of the sky two days ago.

What was the president's response?

Well, I'm going to let you hear that warmonger.

So, Glenn, we have the countries of origin here for these ships.

There's been actually a total of six attacks,

kind of going back here.

The four countries involved, Japan, Norway, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, were the four victims of these attacks and that have been largely blamed on Iran.

Right.

And I don't want to call those friends, all of those friends, two are friends and two are frenemies,

but they do business with us.

In this case, you would call them friends and not friends of Iran.

So the United States would think that it'd have to get away with bombing or destroying tankers of those four

countries.

Get away with it.

Now, that doesn't seem like something that

we're itching to do,

especially since the president has a long-standing record of let's not destabilize more.

All right.

So they blow down one of our drones.

And And what is the president's first response?

Listen.

Iran made a big mistake.

This drone was in international waters, clearly.

We have it all documented.

It's documented scientifically, not just words.

And they made a very bad mistake.

Okay.

You'll find out.

Are you willing to find a war with Iran?

You'll find out.

You'll find out.

I mean, obviously,

obviously, you know, we're not going to to be talking too much about it.

You're going to find out they made a very big mistake.

Now, he went on in that press conference to talk about how he has a feeling.

I have a gut feeling, and I could be wrong, but usually I'm right.

Usually I'm right,

that they just made a mistake, that this was somebody low level that just

made a mistake, made the wrong call, blew this out of the sky, freaked out, and it was just a mistake.

Now, we know that's not true because we have them screaming Allah Akbar

and the administration of Iran coming out and saying you know Allah Akbar look what we've done to the great Satan.

So we know that's not true but the president was giving them an opportunity to say hey mistake.

Now is that what a warmonger does?

Is that what a warmonger does?

So to believe that

Donald Trump is doing this because he wants war, what you have to believe is that our president is absolutely out of his mind and a warmonger and just wants death.

Or if you look at his record, you'd say, okay, he's not.

But the people around him are out of their mind and they just want death.

They want war at any cost.

And they're so stupid, they think they can attack the assets of four allies and get away with it.

Or there's another option.

The United States is just a Jewish pawn.

Well, that sounds a little like Ecasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and everybody else, doesn't it?

That's probably a really easy one if you believe in socialism.

Yes, it's a Jewish conspiracy.

But why would the president come out and say it's a mistake?

Why would the president come out and order a strike and then come back and say, nope, cancel it.

I think the most easy thing to believe here is that the president means what he says when he doesn't want to destabilize the Middle East.

And this is a way of sending a very, very strong message without

actually

lobbying a single missile.

Isn't this what we should be hoping for?

Could this be a kind of dramatic strategy here?

That the president is coming out and saying,

you know what?

I got the guys at the Pentagon, and they want to do something, and I want to do something.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Last second, no, I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

Don't make me do this.

I'm in your corner because I think you made a mistake.

Oh,

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

This is a president who is signaling to our enemies, I got a twitchy eye.

But he's also at the same time signaling to you, he's not crazy and out of control and has some sort of Iranian bloodlust.

That's what's happening in the Middle East.

The best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

Yes, it's Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

Hello, Bill.

How are you?

Yeah, that's me, Dick.

Yeah, I am.

I'm a beatk.

Yeah, that's you.

You were just

when I think of.

Well, not personally, but I know,

you know, you were 70 when the beat Knicks were.

Yeah, me and Maynard G.

Krebs.

You remember Maynard G.

Krebs?

I know the name, and I don't know why.

Doby Gillis.

Doby Gillis, that's right.

Yeah, still before my time, Bill.

Sitcoms of all time.

Work?

No.

All right, you want to talk about Iran, right?

Yeah, either that or you're going to end up with Fibber McGee's closet.

So, yes, I'm going to go to the next one.

Yeah, we can ruminate about 50 sitcoms.

First of all, you know, you and everyone else...

are making the fundamental mistake of believing the New York Times.

And I mean, I sit here and I'm just amazed that the whole country.

So the New York Times, once again,

comes out with anonymous sources and says, oh,

Trump is going to blow the hell out of them, but then at the last minute, he decided he wasn't.

And everybody came home.

Okay, that might be true.

But there's just a good possibility that it isn't true.

Because the authors of the article have been wrong

95% of the time in the past, what they've written.

So I say to myself, They had, I will tell you this, Bill.

They did, because I looked for the writers of this article and I thought, okay, which writer is it?

But they did.

Now, again, just because there's more people that are usually wrong doesn't make it right.

But there were about 10 authors of this article.

They seem to have this.

Come on.

Are you telling me there's 10 reporters talking to the same person?

No, here's what I'm saying.

Here's what I'm saying.

Here's what I'm saying.

I don't believe the New York Times because it's the New York Times, and I don't believe the administration because it's the administration.

I will look at the facts on the ground, and this,

to me, makes sense, and it actually works in Donald Trump's favor.

Okay, but

not if I just take the New York Times.

But the analysis is based on your gut feeling and your frame of reference from what's happened in the past.

So that's what you should tell your listeners: that, look, this is what I think happened based upon what I know about the Trump administration.

But all morning long, I mean, you empower an organization that has been absolutely dishonest and it's replicated.

Well, last hour.

No, no, no.

Last hour, that's exactly what I did.

I'm sorry, in my introduction to you, I didn't do the

same thing.

I'm listening and I'm going, that

can't be giving these people any kind of validity.

So I think the key question for all Americans is this.

What do we want to do about Iran?

We as a country, we the people.

All right, so you have to start there.

What do you want to do about them?

So we have that same question with North Korea and to some extent China.

So, okay, Trump doesn't really want to do anything with them.

He'd like them to go away, all right, but he doesn't want to get involved because that's not going to help him.

All right, if you're

Mr.

Davis, go ahead, go ahead.

Here's where the media is really doing a disservice to America

because they continue to try to make him into a hate monger and a war monger.

He is the exact opposite.

I don't know of him.

He never has wanted that.

He hates that.

And

one of the things that Trump

I get into in the upcoming book is why.

And I'm not going to get into it now because it's not important for today's conversation, but there's a reason that Trump does not want to have a confrontation in the Middle East that involves U.S.

military.

However, he's going to have to deal with Iran, whether he likes it or not.

You're going to have to deal with it.

Now, if you think back to the way Bush the Younger dealt with Iraq,

he lost control of it.

So that's a lesson for all Americans.

Bush the Younger lost control of it.

All right?

Lyndon Johnson lost control of it in Vietnam.

Correct.

Correct.

Easy to lose control.

Easy.

Correct.

And Trump knows this.

By the way, I have some breaking news, Bill.

Trump just confirmed the reporting is accurate.

On that he pulled back.

Did he give any

pulled back?

Yeah, so I have the quote here.

What does it say?

It says, Monday, this is a quote from Donald Trump on Twitter.

He tweeted this.

On Monday, they shot down an unmanned drone flying in international waters.

We were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sites when I asked how many will die.

150 people, sir, was the answer from a general.

Ten minutes before the strike, I stopped it because it was not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone.

I think that makes him worse.

There wasn't anybody in the air.

The decision that he made was based upon how many civilians or people around the sites would die.

That makes sense.

Which the New York Times Times reported.

Yes, it is.

Well, no,

it was not in the initial story.

They did, you know, they've reported on it since, but it was not in the initial story.

They had that by this morning.

And I think if, you know.

I saw what the New York Times was, and the theme of their story was an indecisive president who was afraid.

Yeah, that's because they don't know.

That's because they're.

And you're exactly right.

And that is what I've been saying all day today.

This is a guy who doesn't like war, but he will go to war if he has to, but he doesn't want to.

The worst thing you can do is go to war with Iraq.

The people in his administration also know that.

The Pentagon has been saying that for 30 years.

It's why I think George Bush went to Iraq instead of Iran, because Iran is the real problem in the Middle East, that and Saudi Arabia, but you can't go to war with them.

So Bush's theory was

put freedom on both sides and pop the head of the snake.

For the purposes of helping the American people, which I know you and Stu desperately want to do every second you're on the air.

True.

All right.

So let's get back to what do you want to do?

Because that's where you start when you develop a policy.

Now, my opinion is you have to get that government out.

Have to.

But you can't do it militarily at this point.

Because

I support you.

Correct.

And I said this last hour.

I believe that Donald Trump would like to do what Reagan did to the Soviet Union, but what Reagan did to the Soviet Union required a Thatcher and a pope.

Tell me who in the world is a Thatcher or a Pope.

Right, but here's what you can do, and this is not that difficult.

So

Iran is a troubled country because its currency is

disappearing, almost like Venezuela.

So

if you're in Iran and you're holding their money, their money is becoming worthless.

And unemployment for the folks is very, very high, tough to make a living.

Those are the two things that are happening because of the sanctions that the United States and other nations have imposed.

So now, if I'm Trump, I say, all right, look, we've had enough.

These people are dangerous and they're trying to disrupt the world.

So we're going to have total sanctions.

No one buys.

So the United States is going to do that.

We hope NATO does it.

We're asking NATO to do it.

And if any NATO country continues to trade with Iran on any basis, we will take note of that.

We're asking China and Russia to do it.

We know they won't.

But we're asking every decent country in the world, no trade with Iran at all.

Nothing.

Now,

you're going to get maybe 65-70% compliance on that because you can put a herd on the NATO countries if they don't cooperate.

And that's going to be enough, I think, after a year or maybe 18 months to get these mullahs out.

I think that the people in the Persians would,

Iran is Persia.

So the Persian people would rise up and throw them out because they're not going to have anything to eat.

It's going to be like Venezuela.

All right.

So let me play devil's advocate on that because, Bill, I think that's the only logical thing that we have left to do.

But let me play devil's advocate.

Let me play the New York Times, which may not the advocate, maybe the devil himself.

I'm not sure.

All right, I'm going to be really pissed if we go to war on a Friday.

We cannot go to war on a Friday because,

I mean, it'll wreck my weekend.

It will really wreck my weekend.

Anyway, so let me play Devil's Advocate.

And I actually heard this today from the New York Times.

I'm listening to Michael Barbaro and

the New York Times, the Daily.

And

they're actually saying,

you know, these sanctions, they're making Iraq or Iran more dangerous because

the tighter the sanctions, they have nothing else they can do.

And I thought, gee, that's like saying, you know, when you discipline your children or you want your children to behave a certain way and you take away their phone, well, you're causing them to be more rebellious.

No, what are you supposed to do with a group of people that won't do it?

So the press will say, and many many on the left will say,

this is going to make things worse.

Total sanctions, it will trap this lion in a cage, and the only way to get out is with its claws.

Well, that's the John Kerry philosophy.

That's what the Obama administration did.

So, look,

we'll buy them off.

We'll give them all these billions of dollars that we froze and hand them that money, which they did in cash.

And it'll give them a lot of money.

We didn't have any problems with them, did we?

We didn't have any problems with them.

Remember,

a couple of years ago.

This is what I mean about

the New York Times and the false reporting and

failure to search for the truth.

Everybody knows that Iran and the Revolutionary Guard

has been behind the Syrian stuff, has been behind the Saudi Arabian stuff with

the terrorism that's going on down there in the south of the peninsula,

been behind the trying to

undermine the Iraq government.

That's all they do.

They don't do anything else but try to foster terrorism in the Middle East.

Everybody knows that.

So all of that is just garbage.

You know, you can do the Neville Chamberlain approach and appease, appease, appease.

I think the United States has been very reticent and not aggressive enough in Iran.

I would have done this total sanction things I suggested a long time ago.

Because you're going to have to.

I would have done it in 2003.

Yeah, you're going to have to do it.

It's going to have to come.

Once they do get a nuke, once they do become North Korea, God forbid,

then you have no good options left.

You have absolutely no good options.

They employ Hezbollah.

Hezbollah is Iran.

So Hezbollah basically can take whatever nuclear weapon they have, whether it's a thimble or a full-blown, and do whatever they want with it.

So, I mean, this is a terrorist state.

The MOAs are a terrorist state.

It's not a rational government.

So the New York Times knows that, but won't ever say it.

Because if they said it, that would then make President Obama look bad.

And that's.

So what do you say, Bill?

What do you say to the people?

Because I got this when I worked at CNN, and it was like, are you people insane?

Are you out of your mind?

They actually said to me that, you know, the Mullahs don't actually believe in all the religious garbage.

They're just saying that to appease their people, and they would never really actually use a nuke

in Israel, et cetera, et cetera.

I tend to take

radical, crazy, religious people at their word.

If they say they're going to do something because God told them to, usually they mean it.

Do you believe

in 9-11 or were they not here on vacation?

Right.

Look, there's no, there are two people you can't reason with.

Stu

and no, that's a joke.

I'm glad I made a list of people.

Two people you can't reason with.

Ideological, political zealots, whether they're left or right, no reasoning with them.

All right?

They're whatever

mental thing is going on up there, you're not going to get through.

And

people who are consumed with hatred.

Now, there's where you've got the Mullers.

Now, I don't know what the Mullers believe, what they don't believe.

I don't know what they're doing.

I don't care.

I know they hate us.

They hate everything

that America is.

Freedom,

secular,

capitalist, whatever we are, they hate us.

And

that's what it is.

And you're not going to change it.

So why bother even discussing it?

I don't even have discussions like that.

You either get a strategy to deal with Iran or you don't.

I'm hoping President Trump and his administration can come up with one.

Right now, I don't know what their strategy is.

I'd like to know what it is.

Go ahead.

You know John Bolton, right?

Personally?

Yeah.

Okay.

I do too.

I like John Bolton.

I think he is cut from the same cloth of Reagan.

He's not a crazy man.

He's not a warmonger, but he doesn't believe in fooling around with evil.

No, he's chaney.

That's the problem.

So the ambassador is chaney.

They're the same mindset.

And their mindset is use American power when it's necessary.

And

don't compromise and don't elongate it.

But Bolton,

he's not going to win this.

Yeah, when it's necessary.

So you think he believes that Iran's an evil nation has got to be taken off the map.

Not

literally.

You don't have to kill them all, but it has to be overthrown.

That's a Bolton belief.

Regime, yeah.

But do you believe that he's only willing to do that through bloodshed, or do you think he's

not sanctions and everything else?

But I mean, he's in those discussions, so everybody

in the Trump administration knows what his strategy is.

See, again, I would like to know what the president's strategy is toward Iran.

Are you going to try to overthrow them?

I know you don't want to say that because that could make things worse.

But you've got to basically define, look,

we have this terrorist state causing a lot of trouble.

We believe it can't continue.

That's all.

You know, so then the Mets out, okay,

something's going to happen.

You don't have to tell them what it is, but right now, we don't even know if something's going to happen.

All right.

So, isn't that exactly, though, what Ronald Reagan did?

He called them an evil empire, and it can't last, and it won't last.

But he still was in negotiations with them.

He still

was friendly towards Gorbachev, etc., etc.

I'll get your response when we come back.

We're with the one and the only, Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

We're talking about

war with

Iran

and, you know, bad idea.

And I don't think the White House wants it.

I don't think the Pentagon wants it.

I don't think anybody wants that.

The ones who really do kind of want some of it, at least to stir everybody up, I think, is Iran.

That's, you know, they go after four oil tankers.

And the reason why France and Germany said nothing about it, and I'd like to hear your opinion on this, Bill, we came out and said, yes, we have the evidence that it is Iran.

The foreign minister of both France and Germany came out and said, well, I mean, maybe, I mean, it's a little too early to tell.

They're just afraid of Iran causing economic disruption for them.

So of course that's what they're going to say.

Of course.

I'm going to Germany next week.

I'm going to wise up Merkel.

I'm going to, you know, actually.

Okay.

I am actually going to go.

I'm going to Berlin and I'm meeting some very high-level people over there.

And you're absolutely right.

I mean, they don't want business to be interrupted.

That's always the way it's been.

Always the way it's been.

And the American people don't want business interrupted either.

Yeah, I was going to say, I think Donald Trump is kind of the same

right.

This would be the worst thing that could happen for Donald Trump is the only sanctions on him and tell everybody to cooperate or, you know, we won't won't buy their stuff.

So that's the way to do it in the short term.

And then long term, you got to figure out what your strategy is.

It's going to take a little buy.

But you mentioned before the break, Reagan.

Reagan was obsessed with the Soviet Union.

Obsessed.

And if you read Killing Reagan, and I know you read it twice, Beck,

it goes all the way back to his Hollywood days, to Ronald Reagan's Hollywood days, when he was one of the guys who actually informed on communists in Hollywood.

Reagan was actually an informer.

And

he was so

angry that he was exposed in that area that he said, look, I did what I thought I was right back in Hollywood because these people are off-the-chart evil.

So it was personal for Reagan to get the Soviet Union.

And that's what that was all about.

All right, Bill, let's change the subject.

Let's go through a couple of other things quickly.

First of all, you just mentioned Angela Merkel.

I wasn't going to bring this up but did you see the video of her shaking do you believe that was just a dehydration what people don't know about that is that right before that video was taken she was listening to chubby checker the twist and that's what that was all about back really really are you making glenn miller jokes too later

you know what do you think you you think your audience is like 18 is that what you're thinking here no i don't know no i don't i just like i just like like making you feel old.

I know, I know, I know.

I just like to make you feel old.

You can't.

Let's go to stand.

Look, on this cruise, people are going to see me standing right next to you, Beck.

All right.

And they're going to go, gee, I didn't know O'Reilly was 10 years old, younger than Beck.

I didn't know that.

They're going to see you with their own eyes.

I'm going to get right to the chase.

The far left thing

that Trump did on Tuesday night is very important for this country and for Trump.

But I don't care about Trump.

I'm not rooting for whatever.

I'm going to watch them all, as you know.

You're talking about his rally.

Yes.

He goes over the most of a total waste of time.

We got it.

You won.

All right?

We don't need to hear it five more times.

Okay.

Then he segues into what I've been doing on billorilly.com for a month.

You've got to define, all right, the danger from Corey Booker and from Bernie Sanders and from Kamala Harris and the whole crew.

You've got to define it so Americans know this is a dangerous operation, this far-left business.

And then he started to do it, Trump, with the Kavanaugh stuff, and then he got in, but he didn't do it enough.

This is the lead beside the economy.

This is the lead.

Here's what's going on that everybody should know.

This far-left cabal

has hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal.

Okay, number one.

And it's not as big as you think.

It's just well funded and well-directed.

Well, organized.

All right, they're on social media.

There's five or six organizations, and they have hundreds of millions of dollars to spread their propaganda.

What they're trying to do is to convince young Americans and minorities that you live in an evil country.

America's evil.

Not Iran, not Russia, America.

That is the goal.

Convince gullible, naive, ill-informed people that they are living in an evil country.

And therefore, that's what reparations is all about.

That's what social justice is all about.

That's what let everybody out of prison is all about.

That's what the homeless overrun cities is all about.

It's all America is evil, evil, evil.

If you can get that mindset established, if you can get enough Americans believing that garbage, then

you can overthrow traditional America.

So now here's the thing, Bill.

That's what is

on here.

Correct.

Now, you not only are trying to do that,

but as a side benefit, you also will

discredit everything so much that the average person who is not into all of this and just wants to do their job, they just become sick of it.

And so they're not paying attention and they don't know.

They don't want to pick a side because they don't want to be like that.

And so the people who have the most to lose don't stand up

because they don't know what to do because they haven't really thought of it.

Well, that's

tired of it.

I'm not feeling sorry for the morons.

I'm sorry.

If you're a lazy person who all you want to do is play video games all day long and you don't know anything, I don't feel sorry for you.

So I don't either, but I will tell you, Bill, that I think that that is a hasty generalization of who I'm talking about.

I think there are a lot of parents out there who are so struggling with everything else in their life.

School, I mean, raising a kid.

I got a 15-year-old kid.

Well, you know, your kids

raising them in today's world is handful enough, and you think, I am just overwhelmed.

You watch this stuff on TV, you don't feel because this is the lie, you don't feel you can change anything.

Pardon me.

Two words: buck up.

This is important.

Okay?

If you want

your country,

you know, my slogan on billorilly.com is take your country back.

Because this is the first time in history that you have had a radical movement that has been embraced and enabled by the media.

You have never had that before in America.

Never.

Now,

closest to

Becky.

Closest you came to that.

I'm sorry.

Satellite delay.

Closest thing you came to that is probably FDR, where they were in bed with them, but they were not in bed with the riots on the streets.

But it was a fundamental philosophical agreement with Franklin Roosevelt, not we hate our country.

Correct.

You've got to understand the people like George Soros and these people hate the USA.

They believe that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were white supremists.

They believe that this country is built on the back of exploiting minorities.

They believe it is wrong and immoral to stop anyone from coming here.

Anyone.

So what do you take away?

We'll absolutely destroy this country in 20 years, unless they're...

It won't take 20 years.

Yeah, it won't take 20 years.

I bet we have another five left in this at this pace, but I don't think it's a good idea.

I hope it's 20 years.

Okay, so what do you take away from

Trump wouldn't have been elected if it had tipped, if the point had tipped.

All right?

So

the majority still love their country.

But if you're going to sit it out,

then you're going to lose your country.

And I am so angry about this because I see it better than anybody because I went through it.

Go ahead.

Bill,

what do you take away from Chuck Todd

having

a moment where he's saying, which should not be courageous by any stretch?

Why is it I can't critique Ocasio-Cortez?

What she said was wrong, was wrong, and we shouldn't be standing for it.

What do you take away from the lesson that everyone on the left gave to him on shut your mouth mouth and sit down.

Listen,

this is,

it's even worse than Chuck Todd.

It's Biden.

Biden can't even come out and say, you know what?

I didn't like these southern senators because I believed they were segregationists, but I worked with them and we advanced the good of the country.

He's a racist.

Biden's got to apologize.

Now, Constantine Court says, if I handed her my book, Killing the SS, if I handed it to her and said, look, why don't don't you read this and find out what concentration camps really were?

Because you're lying.

You're not just misinformed, you're lying.

There are no concentration camps on the southern border, and there never were.

You're lying.

Here's the proof.

Read it.

She would not read it.

She would not do it.

She doesn't care about it, the truth.

She despises her country.

She wants to tear the fabric of the country down.

And this is the thing.

So, do you believe that?

I know, but do you believe that

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, et cetera, et cetera,

hate and despise our country and want to tear it down, or are now afraid of this, of the left, that they are just

like O'Reilly was.

And look, when they tore me to pieces two years ago, everybody got the message.

All right?

The corporation aren't going to...

They're going to back you.

They're not going to back you.

And you're going to get torn to pieces by the media that despises you.

Well, everybody got it.

Pelosi doesn't want people going looking around into her life.

She doesn't want that.

Biden's just, this is just beginning for Biden.

They're going to try to tear his throat out.

Okay?

And this is what I'm saying.

Biden's Biden's a white man.

Just because he's a white man, he's not worthy to be president.

Now, you think I'm an extremist?

You think I'm saying?

This is exactly what's happening.

No, it is exactly.

You are exactly right on this.

Now, let me ask you this.

Does this work to his advantage with the independents who are sick of all of this stuff when he says, I'm not apologizing for anything?

Yes.

He stood up.

Doesn't that work to his advantage?

Yesterday?

That was the first time he stood up to them, by the way.

All right.

Yes, I know.

He stood up to them yesterday because I know somebody told him to do it.

And that helps him with the not crazy Democrats.

Not all Democrats are crazy or hate their country.

All right.

This far-left cabal is about 15%,

but they control the media and they've got unlimited funds.

Yep.

Yep.

All right, Bill O'Reilly.

Been a fascinating conversation with you today.

Looking forward to it next week.

Have a safe trip with Angela Merkel.

Yeah, I'll talk to you before I leave, and you can give me some tips, Bec.

And in the meantime, want everybody to go to billorilly.com for wisdom.

Yeah.

Wisdom.

Wisdom.

Yeah.

And it's found there.

Are you having a guest host next week?

No, no, no.

It's me.

It's me.

It's me.

Oh, oh, well, that's an interesting theory.

Bill O'Reilly.

So why?

Long Island.

BillO'Reilly.com.
