Hey podcasters, we got a great, great episode for you on Friday.

You know, we start talking a little bit about the

YouTube algorithm and

how many people have been silenced just this week.

And the problem we've had with eBay, I posted a painting of mine,

an anti-kind of a, well, it started out as an anti-Hitler propaganda piece back in the 1940s.

And I've painted it in one of my 10-hour memes.

and it's an anti-Planned Parenthood thing.

Well, it was put up on

eBay and lo and behold, it was taken down immediately.

All the proceeds go for pro-life activities.

And

the reason was, is they said they thought it was fake because it was too inexpensive.

Oh, the tips that they will stoop.

So we'll talk about, we started talking about that and Steven Crowder.

Also, Bill O'Reilly in rare form.

Pat was with me all day today.

We kind of took a trip and a flashback back to our show, Glenn and Pat, 30 years ago.

And the 13-year-old that stood up for life.

And we end the podcast with a very important beacon.

I believe we've all stepped through a wormhole and we're no longer on the earth that we were born on.

And it's happened just recently.

And I prove it to you in today's podcast.

Ta-da!

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

I was driving in this morning and

just thinking about the news, and I started going through everything.

I got here, and

just I tweeted out a couple of stories that were just they're just crazy first of all do you see the Saudis that threw the cake in the lion's face no okay this is this is nuts they have a apparently a pet lion these Saudis and one of them is having a birthday and they come down to this lion that's just kind of like hanging out at their feet And everybody's around and they're singing happy birthday.

And the guy's like, oh, yeah, look what I'm going to do.

And he throws the cake in the lion's face.

And the lion jumps up.

And I've never wanted a lion to do what lions do best more than at that moment.

I just wanted to see the lion just maul them all.

It was so horrible what they were doing.

And the lion just jumped up and he was confused and didn't know what was going on.

So I watched that.

hoping for a good mauling.

But apparently they're in.

He didn't get a good mauling, though, out of it.

Dang it.

No.

No.

You know how viral that video would have been?

Apparently, they're in trouble in even Saudi Arabia.

Even the Saudis are like, look, we beat people and behead people in the public square, but this is too far.

They even crucify.

They've been crucifying people lately.

Did you...

What?

Did you read about that?

Did you read about that?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, they've been crucifying people.

I thought, okay, that's, I mean, isn't that...

They're too barbaric to be our friends.

They're too barbaric.

Do you think?

Do you think?

Yeah, I think.

Yeah, I would happen to agree with you on that one.

By the way, the Jay Leno thing you just did,

my algorithm I can't figure out on YouTube.

You know how YouTube has algorithms for all of us, and it just, it's presenting us with what we want.

Yes.

So I'm watching all kinds of stuff.

I'm watching all these talks between people, you know, I'm watching, you know, conservative points of view.

And I occasionally would watch Jay Leno

and his, you know, Garage.

Do you watch that?

Yeah, I've seen that.

I love that show.

I just love that show.

So I would occasionally watch that.

Pat, it's now the only thing the algorithm picks up on me.

So Jay Leno stuff?

All of my suggestions.

It's like, well, he likes conservative stuff.

You would think a Glenn Beck video might show up in a to Glenn Beck.

Nope.

Never happened.

Never happens.

Literally, I checked it last night.

I was searching for some, I don't remember what it was, some news thing.

And I search it, find it, play it.

And then I look at the recommendations.

Every single one was Jay Leno.

It's like, I want, I just, I would, I'd pay money.

I would pay money to have Jay Leno's algorithm only show my stuff.

Lenn Beck's stuff.

That would be fun.

Yeah.

Anyway.

It's amazing how that doesn't happen, though.

I mean, it doesn't happen for any of us.

I've never gotten your stuff.

I've never gotten my stuff.

I've never gotten Ben Shapiro's stuff.

We can't stew, me, apparently you, we don't get anything from the Blaze.

Never.

I've never gotten anything from the Blaze.

Not once.

Interesting, isn't it?

Not once.

Yeah, since we're part of the Blaze.

Yeah.

And we watch the Blaze all the time.

And we search for the Blaze.

Yeah.

Apparently, no.

Apparently, no.

I mean, you know, something's wrong.

And obviously, we all know that something's wrong.

It's the algorithm.

And, you know, I've never been more wrong than,

well, I was pretty wrong on Donald Trump.

But in that same category, Mark Zuckerberg.

Yeah, we were just talking about that on my show this morning.

When you defend, not how wrong you were, but when you defended the guy,

and that's meant nothing to him, apparently.

No, but I didn't do it.

for favors.

No, I know it.

I actually do.

Do you think he would, I don't know, be sympathetic to the cause because somebody jumped into his aid when he needed it?

No, he doesn't care.

He doesn't care.

He doesn't care.

And he is a total and complete fraud.

Yeah, absolutely.

I was, I was,

I trusted him, but I also didn't like the suggestions of, well, you need a hiring quota of the conservatives.

That's not a conservative point of view.

No, it's not.

But something has to happen.

And these guys,

what they're doing now is obscene.

By the way,

Blaze has now,

for, what was it, three weeks,

we were,

what was it?

They said we were fake news.

And so we fought that.

And we won.

Who said we were fake news?

Facebook.

Said that

the Blaze was an unreliable source.

And so we fought it.

And the guy we had to to fight was a guy who worked at CNN for like 20 years.

And he was just a jerk.

And so we fought that, and we won.

And so they opened up the algorithm again to us.

Then two days later,

we are banned from posting anything and sharing anything because we're only clickbait.

And that one you can't fight.

Wow.

So the blaze.

Wow.

The The blaze on Facebook is.

And that's till Saturday?

No, no, no.

No?

No, that one's permanent.

You don't fight it.

We're not just in timeout.

That's permanent?

Yeah,

we can post things

as of Saturday.

I don't remember.

It's real complex.

We can post things as of Saturday, but it affects our

algorithm.

That designation.

Go ahead.

Say it out loud.

Right, right, right.

That designation affects our reach.

Oh, my God.

So we, you know, even if you signed up for us, you're probably not going to get stuff from the Blaze.

Crazy, right?

Yeah.

I mean, they've got to be pulled before Congress because this just isn't right.

They can't have the protection of being a platform when they're publishers.

So now I have the latest.

Yesterday, I presented this beautiful piece of art.

I mean, it is lovely.

It is lovely, right?

I mean, you could think of a million places to hang that, right?

Oh, Jackie would love it.

Yeah, pretty much anywhere.

Pretty much anywhere.

Anywhere.

Okay, so it's based on like 1943

war propaganda from the United States.

And

it was Adolf Hitler holding war bonds.

So I took it and I made it like a newspaper, 50 million killed, which is 11 million short now than what it actually is.

And I did this

after they

failed to ban infanticide.

And so it's a picture of Hitler, and above it, it says, next time, I'll just call it Planned Parenthood.

It's great.

So, I mean, there's no place to hang it.

Where are you going to hang a big weird picture of Adolf Hitler?

But I made it.

I call them a 10-hour meme.

I know you can make them on your computer in about two minutes, but I like to spend hours on mine.

And so we posted it yesterday on eBay.

All of the proceeds are going to

go to

live action

and

other pro-life organizations like Abby Johnson.

We're just going to split whatever we have.

It was up to $2,200 yesterday, and eBay pulled it.

You've got to be kidding me.

No, wait, wait.

We thought, because we went over the rules, and I'm like, well, I don't think we violated any of their rules.

What do we do?

So we called, and they said, well, you're a new poster, and we couldn't verify who you were.

And so we pulled it because you ready for this?

We thought the price was too low.

And I'm like, do you want to bid on it?

Dude, you want to bid on it?

They were like,

we thought this was fake because the price was too low.

Wow.

And we, because we started it at a dollar.

Okay.

But I mean, so I don't know if there's a big, huge fan, a big, huge, you know, there's no, there's no line forming for Hitler paintings.

Right.

You know?

Yeah.

So it's supposed to be up in the next 20 minutes to 24 hours.

20 minutes to 24 hours.

Yeah.

They didn't narrow it down.

Okay.

They've narrowed it down.

So is it back up yet?

It is up.

It is up.

Good.

So what do you search for when you go to eBay?

It's better to go to my Twitter account.

But can you just try to search Glen Beck Painting?

Glen Beck Original Painting?

Okay.

So if you just go to my Twitter account, it has

the link there, or you can go to Glenn Beck Original Painting

on eBay.

But every single dime, the artist,

he's got a big heart.

He's got a big heart.

Good man.

I know him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's got a big heart.

So every dime of this, and I heard it took him 10 hours to make that.

I mean, that's a lot of work.

I was telling effort.

I was telling Stu yesterday, my wife walked in while I was painting it.

She stood there for a while and she just looked at me.

And then she looked at the painting.

And she said, What do you want to do this weekend?

I think that says.

I'm not going to comment on

what you're doing here.

I don't know what it says, but it says something.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

Like listening to this podcast?

If you're not a subscriber, become one now on itunes.

And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

All right, here he is.

The disco queen himself, Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

Siri, I don't like it.

Sorry, my Sirius.

Go ahead.

I am right in the middle of the Midtown Tunnel, going under

the river

on my way to give a enlightening speech to the radio talk industry.

Okay, so, Bill, you're going into a tunnel.

Are you in the tunnel yet?

I am halfway through the tunnel.

And you still have cell service.

God bless America.

Yeah, in New York, they do that in case there are multiple murders in the tunnel.

Hey, by the way, let me ask you this.

My family just went up.

My kids just went up to New York.

They were up there.

I'm coming up in a couple of weeks because my daughter is performing at Carnegie Hall.

But I'm going up in a couple of weeks, and my family was up there just two weeks ago, and they said, Woof, things have gotten bad.

Yes.

Bill de Blasio is one of the worst mayors ever.

No, this is good.

Three murders in the tunnel.

We can't hear you now.

You're breaking up for some reason.

Go ahead.

Try it again.

Don't worry.

Just national radio, Bill.

No big deal.

You have me now?

I have you now.

Yes, I do.

All right.

De Blasio is a terrible mayor.

And just like in L.A., San Francisco, Seattle, the zombies are running wild.

And the quality of life is deteriorating.

How is it that people don't see, you know, Californians are never going to wake up.

How is it they don't see this?

How is it they keep voting for these clowns when people are crapping on your stairs?

Because they don't vote here in New York.

27%

voted in the last mayoral election.

And it's a one-party state like California is.

Republican Party's been wiped out and people have given up.

So they just wall themselves off, and it's horrible.

It's what is the future.

And in L.A., get set for bubonic plague because that's what's coming next with all the rats running around.

Where do you see what happens there?

You know, they actually,

who was it?

I've got it here in front of me someplace.

One of the Democrats was saying that, no, no, no,

it's really actually good in L.A.

that the city is doing a great job with homelessness.

Are they?

Really?

No, that's a lie.

But, you know, this week in San Francisco, the Board of Supervisors, which could be the Board of Supervisors in Havana, that's how far left they are, voted 10 to 1 to begin forcibly

taking

some homeless people out.

and confining them.

10 to 1.

Now, the ACLU, of course, will sue, but that's how desperate people in San Francisco are right now.

You know,

I just saw that in San Antonio, we have a bunch of homeless people now from the Congo, and San Antonio is desperate for volunteers that speak French.

And I was wondering, you know, you're in the Congo.

How much was that air flight from the Congo to Mexico?

Who paid for it?

How only speaking French did you get across the border?

Who paid for that?

And now you're on the streets of San Antonio.

Yeah, but there's another problem that some of the Congolese in L.A.

say, no, we'd rather go back to the Congo

than stay in downtown L.A., so they got to pay for their airfare back.

I mean, that's how bad L.A.

is.

Look,

we have an open border, all right, thanks to the Democratic Party, open border.

So the Congolese Congolese and every other African country is if they can get to Mexico, they can come in here because nobody's going to stop them and they can apply for asylum and nobody's going to monitor them.

Great policy, right?

And it's really what's happening in America is

I'm just amazed of the deterioration of what I'm seeing.

And your question is right.

Millions of people have voted for the Democratic Party.

I guess they like all this.

I guess they think this is good.

That's why the winning slogan in what 1946 or 48 was had enough yet?

That was the slogan for the Republican Party.

In California and New York, that is a good slogan because it's visible.

Yeah.

You can see it.

All right, and you still want more of this?

Well, you know, one thing that is starting to be more and more visible is the loss of

our rights

and the freedom of speech.

And I tell you, we lose.

If these corporations, Facebook, Google, YouTube, all of these big corporations, including Amazon, they're clamoring now for more regulation.

That is not the answer.

The answer is make them platforms, not publishers.

Let them, or publishers and not platforms.

Let them pay for all of the lawsuits that the government is currently protecting them from.

It's the only thing that will scare them and set things right.

And it is legal and

the right definition for anybody who edits on their platforms.

So we have these guys taking away Steven Crowder, telling live action that as long as they don't talk about abortion, talk about negatively Planned Parenthood, or show any

ultrasound pictures,

they can have access to their platforms,

but they have to change their website to exclude those things.

We are now getting to a place to where

our rights are going away because these are private corporations, and those rights are only really to those are for the government.

The government can't do these things, but private corporations can.

Well, this is a complicated issue.

The Prager University situation was the worst, and Dennis Prager has sued and may win

for the banishment that he experienced on social media.

And I hope he does win.

But the Crowder situation is a little bit different

because there,

an individual with a platform, Crowder, and I do not know him.

I do.

I've never had any dealings with him.

Right.

The one time that my staff had a dealing with him, he was rude.

And I don't care about him.

So I said, but don't even worry about it.

Okay?

But the principle's a little bigger than your personal like or dislike of Steven Crowder.

No, I'm just giving you full disclosure

if you want that from me.

I do, I do, I do.

Don't yell at me.

That's all it is.

All right.

I don't care about the man.

I'm sorry you're stuck in traffic in New York.

I'm so animous against Steven Crowder.

I don't care about him.

However, in this case, he was putting a fellow American in danger.

Oh, that's hogwash.

That's absolute hogwash.

Do you know this person that he supposedly put in danger?

I don't know him.

No, no, no, no.

I'm not saying know him.

Do you know what he was posting?

I don't care about bad behavior pointing to other bad behavior.

Okay?

I don't care about that.

No, no, no.

It does.

It does make it.

Look, you know this story better than I do.

You correct me if I'm wrong, okay?

You're wrong.

And you'll relish that.

All right.

All right.

So you got a guy, Prouder, who's got a constituency, and he's nailing this guy who works for Vox

as being a bad guy, and he's gay, and he's whatever he is.

All right.

He calls himself a queen and a gay wonk.

Okay, whatever.

And he's giving out information about the guy.

So to me, if I'm running any corporation, and I do do run my own, I basically say privately

to Crowder or anybody else doing that, look, you may be putting a guy in danger.

Let's just knock this off right now.

Bill,

let me just say this.

Because you're not up to speed on this,

I humbly say you're wrong.

And here's why.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

He's done nothing more than what you used to do and still do to people in the media that are are wrong.

He is a comedian, so

he did it a little more flamboyantly.

However, everything he said about this guy, this guy said about himself.

So Crowder was correcting the record on what this guy was saying.

He works for Vox, NBC Universal.

He has said things,

this is an exact quote.

Get back to me when you're ready to personally assassinate people I find annoying on Twitter.

Then we'll talk.

He talks about you have to milkshake people.

You have to go out and push them back

because conservatives do not have a place.

He was looking for this kind of stuff.

Stephen Crowder, according to YouTube, did not violate any of their guidelines.

Quote, after an extensive review of his videos not one was in violation of their guidelines not one so then why did they why did they take action against crowder in the sponsor you're gonna love this you're gonna love this bill let me find it here real quick I'll find it for you here it is

even if a creator's content this is YouTube even if a creator's content does not violate our community guidelines we will take a look at the broader context and impact.

And if their behavior is egregious and harms the broader community, we may take action.

In the case of Crowder's channel, a thorough review over the weekend found that individually the flagged videos did not violate our community guidelines.

However, in the subsequent days, we saw the widespread harm to the YouTube community resulting from the ongoing pattern of egregious behavior.

We took a deeper look and made the decision to suspend monetization.

What was the harm?

Did they define the harm?

No.

Here's the harm.

People on the other guy's side rose up, the gay community, and said, How dare you not suspend him?

He's clearly a bigot.

That was the broader harm.

How much How much of the gay stuff did Crowder do?

Well, what do you mean?

The main thrust of every one of those videos was correcting this guy on how wrong he was.

But this guy is.

There wasn't a heavy emphasis that he was a homosexual.

No,

in a way, yes and no.

This guy is very flamboyant and calls himself the queen of New York.

And, you know, I am, you know, I am a gay man.

And so that's his shtick.

So anything that was done, Crowder took from him and was mocking his shtick because that's the way he

presents himself, and he has no problem.

His handle is gay wonk, so he has no problem.

If somebody calls him gay or heterosexual, which happens all the time to Stephen, he's been called all kinds of things,

sticks and stones can break your bones, but these are things that he actually

presents himself as and says.

So in mocking and parroting somebody, yes, you take on those traits and you use the words that he himself used.

Okay.

Do you know

if Crowder gave out the man's private information?

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

He is against doxing, as we all are.

If I'm a judge hearing the testimony and looking at what you've just presented and seeing that Facebook has only a general complaint, which it can't really zero in on.

Correct.

Then I rule in favor of Crowder.

Correct.

And that's the thing.

This is YouTube, not Facebook, but it's YouTube.

And they said, I mean, Crowder is very careful.

He knows those guidelines.

He's met with YouTube.

Tell me, I'm a comedian, so tell me what the guidelines are.

He meets with them, he talks to them, and he knows.

is YouTube backing away now?

Backing away from what?

From the sponsor limitation on Crowder?

Oh, no, no, no.

It's no, it's a done deal.

So, is Crowder going to take action of interference with his livelihood?

I don't know.

I know he has a team of lawyers, and I hope he does, but why is it that, I mean, every single person that enjoys free speech should be joining this effort.

I mean, every single person that enjoys free speech, we have to start defending these people who are being marginalized.

YouTube is building a digital ghetto, and Bill, you and I will be next.

I mean, first, they came

already seen it with the sponsor boycotts from Move On and all these other things.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

So,

in the spirit of

not

people to be punished for their views, I'm with you 100%.

All right, good.

Hang on just a second.

Hang on.

I'll give you your other point.

I've got to break.

I'm running so late.

Come back in one minute.

Keep that thought.

Keep that thought.

All right.

First, let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's Omaha Steaks.

Nothing better.

Dad doesn't want anything.

Dad doesn't really want anything.

He wants to spend time with his kids, unless you're jerks.

And then just send him a box of steaks.

But I'm saying, if you show up with a box of steaks and say, Dad, you're going to love this.

They have 75% special now, 74% off.

If you order right now, you are getting absolutely no vegetables, but four Omaha steak burgers.

In fact, they're going to throw in four more.

So you'll have eight steak burgers.

You're going to have huge jumbo

Franks

chicken fried steak, all beef meatballs, premium chicken breast, four caramel apple tartlets for dessert, a pack of their seasoning, and you get those extra burgers as well.

So, I mean, that's it's a $270 value.

You're getting it now for $59.

It is a great special.

Only at omahosteaks.com.

That's omahasteaks.com.

Use the promo code Beck.

Just type Beck in the search bar, and that's how you'll be able to find this special.

So, type in Beck at the search bar at omahasteaks.com.

We break for 10 seconds, station ID.

Seeing that the average American has literally the attention span of a goldfish, let's test it out on Bill O'Reilly.

Do you remember what your second point was?

Of course I do, Beckett.

And you should be ashamed of yourself for impugning my info.

All right.

I just can't wait to be trapped trapped on a ship with you.

Go ahead.

What far out is this, and both you and I have experienced it.

Okay.

Yes.

You cannot, if you are a person who has access to the media, all right, and you speak to

a number of people through the media, could be radio, television, social media.

You cannot threaten

anyone.

I agree.

Home information, home home addresses,

home numbers, whatever.

I think we all agree doxing is horrible.

Horrible.

Can't do it.

Yes.

And so if that happened,

the YouTube people, but YouTube and Facebook and all these, they should have a printed code of behavior.

They do, and they said he didn't violate any of it.

That's the problem.

And that's fine.

I'm not saying he did.

I'm just saying that's the carve now.

By the way, before we get back in with Bill O'Reilly, we are running a special at Blaze TV that we have never done anything like this.

We just need you to do a few things.

If you don't have any money, I want you to make sure you sign up for everything that is free.

Sign up, go to glennbeck.com, sign up for the free email newsletter.

So make sure that you sign up at Glenbeck.com.

Go to theblaze.com and sign up for their free email newsletter.

I'm sorry, but we are being

the just yesterday,

the Blaze was tagged.

And we've been fighting them.

First, they said we were an unreliable news source, and we fought that for a few weeks, and we won that.

And now they've said that we're nothing but a clickbait generator, and you can't fight that one.

That expires in principle on Saturday.

However, it is affecting our algorithm forever, and you can't fight it, which means we're going to have a much smaller reach through Facebook.

So please do that.

Go to blazetv.com/slash Glenn,

promo code free speech, one word, and join us 30% off up to midnight tonight.

All right, back to Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, I want to talk to you a little bit about abortion.

I saw that President Trump just ended the practice once again

of

the government being using fetal tissue to conduct experiments.

And so he stopped it.

And this guy has, I don't think that there is a president other than Ronald Reagan that has kept his promises on the campaign trail as much as

Donald Trump.

And I've always been bothered by people say, he's another Ronald Reagan.

And I thought about it this morning, and I thought, well, in some ways, he's absolutely not Ronald Reagan.

He's not the great communicator in the traditional sense.

However, I think the promises that he has kept possibly are harder than the promises that Ronald Reagan had to keep.

Would you agree with that?

I don't know.

It's a hard comparison to make because

the society today is so much different, American society, than it was in the 80s.

Donald Trump, as you'll learn when you read the United States of Trump, the history book I've written on him will come out in September, has four pillars, all right, four philosophical pillars that drives all of his policy.

Two of them are economic, two of them are social.

But you're right in the sense that

you make

those pillars or

okay.

The first one is

the economy.

The economy must benefit working Americans.

The second one is immigration, that the country has to enforce immigration laws and can't allow itself to be overrun by people we have no idea why they're here and what they're doing.

The third one is Muslim extremism.

You've got to eradicate it from the face of the earth.

And the fourth pillar is social in the sense that he believes that traditional conservative conservative Americans must be heard.

So that

his position on abortion has, what they say, evolved.

One time he was pro-choice, now he's more pro-life.

But it's more about he knows who his base is, and he wants his base to be heard.

That's the fourth pillar.

Boy, I agree with all of those pillars.

Well, let me go.

Can we go through?

Can we go through?

You know, Bill, in many ways, I'm right where I was with Donald Trump on, you know, on the way he communicates.

In other ways,

I'm amazed by him, and I'm happy to say I was wrong.

When it comes to the economy, let's talk about the economy a bit.

We have the wand

flirting with breaking seven,

seven wand to a dollar,

and that is,

that will change the world.

Many people say that that is going to happen.

Some people say that it is not going to happen.

This trade war, however, is escalating to a kind of frightening place with China.

China, to me, is different than Canada, Europe, and Mexico.

I know that Donald Trump loves tariffs, but

they are beginning to hurt him and the economy.

Is he going to see this at any point?

Yeah, he'll see it because his advisors are telling him the same thing you just said.

But he believes that he's going to get part of what he wants from China by the end of this month when they have the big summit.

He thinks he's going to get a deal with Xi.

He knows China's hurting economically.

Xi's got to make a deal.

He has to.

So

are we witnessing here

the kind of thing that Reagan did with Gorbachev to where he was like, no, I'll walk away from the table, knowing that Gorbachev needed that deal as much as the United States did?

It's higher stakes now because Reagan had

a much stronger hand to play because Russia really was falling apart and did.

China, their army and secret police are very in control.

Yes.

But that may not last much longer if their economy goes down the drain, and that's what Trump is relying on.

He believes that the hurt that the United States is putting on them through the tariffs is going to ripple down and maybe destabilize the whole situation so that she is going to have to make some kind of deal.

What does it say to you that the Federal Reserve said they're going to bring rates down possibly to zero?

Well, they knew that the employment report wasn't going to be as robust.

So they knew that in advance.

So that's why they said what they said, and that's why the stock market came up this week.

But the American economy is pretty good.

It's pretty robust.

Business is good everywhere.

The tariffs are short-term pain.

I think you had to do them in Mexico because that government simply wasn't cooperating.

Now, magically,

they've got three or four concessions already on a table.

So I think you'll see Trump will say, well, we're going to delay it a little bit.

Trump's going to win that.

Yes.

China,

you can't predict it with certainty, but I do believe they'll get a deal at the end of this month.

When it comes to the social issues and

abortion,

we have left the station of any kind of common sense.

And the

I mean, you want to talk about the power of the NRA.

The NRA does not have the hold over the conservatives that Planned Parenthood has over the liberals.

I mean, it is, it's amazing how if you step out of line at all,

Beck, it isn't Planned Parenthood.

Who is it?

The hold over the left is the media.

All right.

So this is a very disturbing issue because the last time we talked about it, I said to all of your listeners, this is life's death.

This isn't about global warming.

It's not about how we should treat Mexico.

This is

people dying.

Today.

Now, okay, then you're going to get pushed back and say, okay, O'Reilly, it's not a person

until whatever date you want to come up with.

Well, okay, but I'm not smart enough to know that.

All right.

I can't say to somebody, you're not a person.

All right,

when there's DNA, human DNA on conception.

And the other one is

by a statement that I make about human life.

And the amazing thing about this, hang on just a sec, Bill.

The amazing thing about this is it's moving in the opposite direction of the left.

So, you know, when the founders were around, they talked about abortion a lot, and they they said it was at the moment of the quickening.

And the quickening is when you felt that first kick.

That's when you knew it was a baby, and that's when you'd get nailed if you killed that baby.

Well, that's the way it was because they had no other technology.

Then it was, you know, as long as they're viable, but that keeps going the opposite direction.

So they're not more of a baby today.

Yeah.

Most Americans agree with you and me that

this is a procedure that should be rare.

Yes.

Every poll says that.

But the media is so vehemently, so arrogantly driving this.

The head of Disney, Robert Iger, the most powerful man in the country, is telling the state of Georgia, we're not going to do business with you if you pass a law we don't like at Disney.

Good.

What The hell is that?

That's where this power is coming from to diminish the life or death discussion.

It's coming from Iger and the corporations and the New York Times.

That's written.

Planned Parenthood doesn't have any power, okay?

The media drives this.

The Hollywood people drive it.

CNN and ATT drive it.

Well, AT, wait, wait, wait, wait.

AT ⁇ T, I know this example for certain.

ATNT drives it because they, this is Tides Foundation kind of philosophy.

They learned in the 80s, we have to have people

in the boardroom.

So you have these radicals in the boardroom.

So it's a Planned Parenthood radical in the boardroom of ATT and all these other companies that they are positioned there for a reason.

So it's kind of,

you know, chicken and the egg thing, I think.

Well, it's a very vicious fight.

And secular people who don't believe in God and don't believe in any kind of morality based upon life or evil or good, they're going to basically say, hey, the woman can do what she wants.

It doesn't matter.

It's the woman's decision.

And if the woman wants to get pregnant eight times and abort eight fetuses, then fine.

You know, that philosophy is rising in America.

And it's unchallenged because these big media companies will spit

you out.

Correct.

They will kill you if you oppose them.

And this is the danger that I don't think Americans fully understand.

Trump can go up against them.

But individuals, it's hard.

If you're a Hollywood actor and you speak out on behalf of life, you

don't work.

Yes.

All right?

So this power, the power to negate the life-death discussion, is based in the hands of corporations, and they're the ones driving it.

All right, Bill, I'm going to let you set up your little cardboard box here and say, look at these great watches I have for Father's Day.

Hey, Beck, I know you're jealous of the eight-shilling books with 17 million copies in print.

I know you're envious.

Well, no, I'm not envious.

I am.

I'm always.

No,

I would love to have your book business.

I just, I always think about you saying to me, what are you doing with all these books?

And I'm like, this is where you can really make some change, Bill.

I don't know.

And then you go and do it.

And you do it better than me, and it pisses me off.

Yes.

Okay.

I'm envious.

Go ahead.

Father's Day, the killing books.

Go to billorilly.com.

Give dad a premium membership.

He'll love you.

And if you don't like dad, he'll be reading.

He can't talk.

Right.

And if you don't like dad and he doesn't like Bill O'Reilly, that's double the reason to buy the book.

Then get concierge membership.

Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.

Bill O'Reilly from billorilly.com.

We'll talk to you again next week.

This is 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.

And I look at the radio industry 30 years ago, and it was fun.

So different.

So different.

So different and fun.

And then, you know, all of our fun was ruined by law.

In the day,

we could get away with calling people and then say afterwards, hey, do you mind if we play this on the air?

Oh, sure.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You can't do that now.

No.

You can't do that now.

And

some of these may appear a little mean.

They were just what their loved ones.

Hey, we trusted the people who called.

Do we ever have?

Do you know, did we ever have anybody break up over this?

Any families destroyed?

I hope not.

I mean, this one comes from

her husband, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes.

Pardon this.

It sounds very old, but it is.

It's 30 years ago on Glenn and Pat.

Listen.

All right, I want to burn my wife.

Okay.

I want to, uh, my daughter's going to a prom, and I want you to call from a sleazy motel about her booking a room.

Okay.

What's your wife's name?

Barbara.

Hello.

Yes, is uh Terry or Dorian Foote there, please?

Who?

Terry or Dorian Foot?

Terry or Dorian Foot?

Terry Foot.

Terry Burke is my daughter.

Uh, your

your daughter.

Uh, is she there?

She's in school.

What are they making?

She's in school.

Yes.

Who is this?

This is uh uh Joseph Buff Hugo, and I'm calling from the Yankee end.

I have reservations for them.

What is it, uh, Friday night?

I uh understood they were a married couple.

No, they're not.

I'm her mother, and they're going to a prom

and um they're not married.

It's just those two that's going into the motel room?

Uh, that's all I have.

I just have Terry and Dorian Foot.

No, sir, that's not right.

Okay.

Um, they are how old is uh Terry?

She just turned eighteen.

Okay.

Uh prom night.

It's probably I don't want to d you know, distrust her.

Um, I know it's a prom night, and from what I gather, they're supposed to have a party with some friends in the motel.

Yeah, well, a lot of people party at

our hotel.

I mean, it's not real classy, but it's a, you know, it's known as a party place.

John Carl and I just wanted to make sure

if

they wanted the water bed or what.

I don't believe this.

Okay, thank you for being honest with me.

Okay.

I'm going to have to

call my husband right now

does she want the water bed or the vibrating

this is devastating so I I am not sure what's going on here but um I have to talk to my daughter when she gets home from well

okay well she is 18 right yes she is okay so which do you I mean

you know I don't I am not I'm not again I am against what she's doing because I'm running the limousine and all for them them to go to the prom and then to a party afterwards for what we were told she was going to a party afterwards.

Is this a rinky thing, please?

Well, I kind of resent that, but.

She said it cost $160.

$160.

Well, listen, can I,

since we have a prom here, can I get your

Visa or MasterCard number?

I don't have that.

Can you run a check down to me?

Because I've held this room here, and I'm not going to lose it.

I would suggest that you just go ahead and rent it to someone else.

Well, I can't do that now here.

Now, wait a minute here.

I've held this room for a couple of weeks.

Well, I mean, if you can just cover just a couple of hours of the room, it would be fine.

Well, I'm not paying for this.

It's up to those two.

They're the ones that booked this, so I.

No, well, wait a minute, ma'am.

I mean,

I understand what you're going through here, but I don't think I should go on the short end of the stick.

I'm out, you know, like 30 bucks here.

If

she wanted the thing for...

I'm going to tell my husband to give you a call because we were not aware of any of this.

Okay.

She didn't ask for extra towels or anything for tomorrow night because she would have to bring her own towels.

Sir, I don't know what she's up to.

You'd have to talk to her directly.

She's in school right now.

She's a senior.

And as far as her giving my number for all this information, I tell you what, Barbara.

Barbara.

What?

Let me tell you something.

Your husband put us up to this.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to kill him.

I am going to kill him.

I I am gonna kill him!

I am going to kill him!

Oh my god, I'm gonna kill him!

I am gonna kill him!

You're on the radio, Barbara, and oh my god!

Oh my gosh, this sounds so dated now, Doug, doesn't it?

She starts crying here, if I remember right, doesn't she?

Yes, yeah, right.

She's kind of crying, laughing right now.

Oh, my God!

You know what's amazing is how stopping.

I'm not gonna deal with an 18-year-old.

Do you know how tame that is now?

Oh, you could do that now and an 18-year-old, she's 18 and

you would have somebody like that on the phone and be like, well, no, she's 18.

Yeah, all right.

I can give you

I'll just have her pay me back.

Here's my

right.

I mean, now in today's society, that was 30 years ago.

That was insanity.

That was insanity.

And you can tell in her voice, she was horrified at the prospect that her daughter daughter had booked a motel room for the night.

Now,

now it's her, it's her 10th birthday party.

No, I've already put it on the credit card.

I called you to book that room.
