Best of the Program | Guests: Bill O'Reilly & Governor Gary Herbert | 3/29/19

Welcome to the podcast, and what a podcast it is.

You can thank me now, America, for solving the Jussie Smollett case.

I was not a believer at first, Wednesday, you really did nail it.

So, this case is closed, and I'm sure you'll be seeing reports on that all day.

You're welcome.

Also, Bill O'Reilly joins us, and we talk about the movie Unplanned with the governor of Utah, Gary Herbert.

A very personal message on that.

And we should point out that this weekend,

first of all, Unplanned is in theaters.

There's a thousand theaters nationwide showing it.

You should go see it.

It's about Abby Johnson, who is a Planned Parenthood worker.

And

she's the employee of the year

nationally for Planned Parenthood.

So, and she has she changed her mind.

And it's about her story.

And then also, we should point out that this weekend's interview podcast is with her, the real Abby Johnson, where you go through the entire thing.

That is, there's 29 episodes of this.

You can go and you can binge all of them, but this weekend's really important.

Yeah, it's Abby Johnson and really good.

Boy, you'll never, you'll just never look at it the same way.

She said things that took my breath away.

I had no idea, had never looked at it the way the people at Planned Parenthood look at abortion.

That's on the Saturday special that you can watch for podcasts.

And this one is just, oh,

I don't need to say anymore.

Just watch and learn from my genius and

the solving of the Jussie Smollett case on today's podcast.

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

This has solved two problems.

One, America's so racist.

America's so racist.

No, it's not.

These hate crimes, no, it's not happening.

It's not happening.

And I'll explain here in a second.

Stu, explain your experiment that

you guys did last night.

Well, as you know, Glenn, this case has gripped the nation.

And Jussie Smollett has come out and said he was innocent since day one, and he's told the truth since day one.

And

most

people truly want to believe the best.

in others.

Right.

And we want to believe Jussie and his incredible story

of how white people who were MAGA voters in Chicago, which is an incredibly large population of people, came after him and committed a hate crime on him.

And we want to believe that.

But the problem is it's hard to get past the fact that two people he knew very closely and had given large amounts of money to

happened to be on camera at a hardware store buying every single thing they needed to commit a fake hate crime on Jussie Smollett.

Right.

And what did they buy?

They bought bleach.

We have it right here.

They bought a red hat.

Red hat.

And they bought rope or twine.

Twine.

Got it.

I was inspired by recently watching Making a Murderer Season 2.

Yes.

And basically, if you haven't seen that,

they go back after the first season and try to figure out where the initial case went wrong.

And they recreate all these key moments in the case with evidence.

And, for example, they bought a life-sized

in the real weight doll of a woman that was supposedly killed.

And they dipped her hair in blood and they kept throwing her into the back of

this

wagon, so SUV, so that they could see what the blood splatter was like, and then they could prove how that was done.

So they were like reverse engineering all these events.

Sure, sure.

So I thought last night, what if we went to the hardware store and bought all the same things that these Nigerian brothers purchased, and then we could recreate our theory of what the crime is to get Jussie on the bottom of the park?

And so what was the theory?

The theory was that it was not a hate crime.

That's it.

It's ridiculous.

Sure, sure.

It's not a fake hoax crime.

What they did is they wanted to, in a similar fashion that you did with this wonderful or controversial painting that

you found at a yard sale.

Found by a yard sale.

And you went to the yard sales.

This is what gave me the idea, is you went to the yard sale and you just wanted to to buy a blank canvas yes so you just picked up any painting and you brought it home and you looked at it and you realized it was a very controversial adolf hitler planned parenthood painting what are the odds what are the odds what are the odds low don't know who the artist is right yeah and so my thought was maybe what they wanted to do is purchase not a red hat yes but a white hat so that they could design because they're fashion designers right they just they wanted to they wanted not but well they are maybe they are maybe they have maybe they are models they're models okay Okay,

okay, all right.

So they wanted to buy a red hat.

They were going to bleach the red hat to make it white so they could design their new hats that they wanted to sell.

Now, that does not explain, of course, the rope.

Yes, it does.

Yes, it does.

Marissa and I were talking about it today.

She said they did not buy any gloves, Glenn.

So you have to tie the hats in and dip it in the bleach.

There you go.

Okay.

That's that.

That's what you're doing.

I think it's a plausible theory, and I think we could have had that to at least the Supreme Court.

However, the problem occurred when we tried to bleach the hats that we purchased last night for 12 hours in bleach, and what happened was they somehow got darker, darker red.

I had not known that.

Well, they're just kind of like they've been worn for a while, which gave me

the idea.

Okay, where'd this crime happen?

Crime happened.

We have to answer for the red hats,

the rope, and the bleach.

That's hard.

It's hard.

It's very difficult.

What were they doing besides this crime?

And the rope, I'll remind you, was tied in a noose.

Ah, that's very true.

Okay, so it's not just that they used the rope, so that wouldn't have worked with the hat and the bleach if you're trying to make it white.

So where did this crime happen?

In Chicago.

Enough said.

I would rest my case, Your Honor, if all of the jurors weren't such dopes.

You would not be a good lawyer.

You don't want to start off a trial with that.

This jury is full of dopes.

I'd rest it because

I know, Your Honor, you know where I'm going when I say a hat, bleach, and ropes tied into nooses

in Chicago.

Right.

I don't.

Now, as a juror, I don't understand where you're going at all.

Right.

Okay, first of all, let's just start with the hats.

People like to wear hats.

Am I right, Your Honor?

You're absolutely right.

Okay, people like wearing hats.

What is the problem of wearing a hat in Chicago?

Well,

one problem would be that it's quite windy in Chicago.

Give me your hat.

Give me the hat

yesterday.

The windy city.

The windy city, Your Honor.

I think you see where I'm going.

Now,

I don't see where you're going.

Let me ask you this.

Look at the top of this ball cap.

What do you see on the top of the ball cap?

There are

the little

button there at the top.

You have several small holes.

Oh, what is that?

I'm sorry.

What was that?

Several small holes.

What are those holes for?

Ventilation?

That's a stupid way to ventilate, right?

Why would you do this?

This is an all-cotton hat.

This, Your Honor, I contend, was

something that the defendant saw, and it sparked an idea.

Everybody is losing their hats.

Now, these holes are a little small.

Now, watch me.

Watch me closely as I slow down for the jury.

All I'm going to do is I'm going to cut the hat.

Ask counsel why he keeps insulting the jury.

You're supposed to be winning them over, just in case you're not clear of how this process is.

Because they're going to feel stupid when they're done.

They're just going to feel like, oh my gosh.

It's one of those things.

Like, how come I didn't invent the toothbrush?

That's a great point.

Okay, so wait, now you've cut

those two holes by the ears, you know, at the top.

Okay, I've cut them into bigger because why?

I don't have small little

thread or something.

I bought this at a hardware store and I'm going for a rustic.

Now, this is important.

I'm going for a more rustic, authentic look.

What's everybody into right now?

That's a really broad question.

Authentic, all right?

You want something authentic.

That is not what I would have guessed.

Well, because you're in the jury box.

Okay, so you have to cut these holes open a little bit more.

And remember, authentic, something that looks like, man, he's been wearing that forever.

Okay.

So it's worn a little bit.

It's worn a little bit.

It's got a couple of holes here.

Now, if you

want to make a strap for a hat, you could just make a strap for a hat, but that is not authentic.

And who wants that strap underneath your chin?

So, what should

you cut to?

Wait, hold on.

What?

A strap for a hat.

And who wants the strap under your chin?

You don't want the strap under your chin.

So, in theory, this would be a strap that keeps your hat on.

Do I have to slow this down even more?

You do.

So, this is a hat.

What is the object?

What did I say, please?

Like Mickey Mouse ears.

Right?

Like Mickey Mouse ears where you kind of put a strap that there's a strap for kids on the bottom of there so they don't fall off.

Could I please could you please read the transcript back for the

now?

Even the judge is a dope.

What is the goal here?

People want to wear hats.

It's in Chicago.

They love it.

It's windy.

Your hat will blow off, and it's blowing down the street.

But if you're going to put a hat on, first of all, you're going to look like a little stupid kid with a little bow under your chin or, you know, a little snappy thing underneath.

And then if people in Chicago, they're mostly fat, that will just cut into their double chin.

So now you're calling the jury dumb and fat?

They are.

Look at them.

Look at them.

Okay.

All right.

So you don't want that.

I'm going to take a one-minute break, and I'm going to come back.

Didn't dazzle you.

You're doing a break in the middle of the trial?

What do you mean you're taking a break?

I'm taking a break.

Look, these two guys,

these two guys from Nigeria or wherever the hell they're from, they don't have any real money.

I got to do a commercial to pay for this genius.

For this genius.

You've sold commercial time in the trial.

In the trial, I have.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

Let me go to Jamie.

Hello, Jamie.

You're on the Glenbeck program.

Glenn, this is Jamie.

I'm so excited to talk to you.

Okay, Okay, so I just found out from my husband that you're going to be in Utah today.

Yes.

Or maybe you're here already.

No, I'm on my way today.

Okay, great.

Well, we just opened the most coolest ice cream parlor four months ago.

So it is a colonial tavern.

You walk in and everyone's in colonial clothing, including my husband, who is in a tri-corner hat, making the ice cream.

It's homemade ice cream.

Like you can watch him make it.

And all of our flavors are named after George Washington.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Where is this?

Where is this?

So 20 minutes south of Thanksgiving Point.

So it is in a town called Vineyard, right by UVU, kind of by UVU.

You know, it's west of Orum.

It's a new little town that's just booming.

And there's a megaplexia.

What's the name of it?

What's the name of it?

Brookers.

What is it?

Brookers.

Say it again.

Whippers?

Okay.

Brooker.

Our last name is Brooker.

So it's Brooker's Founding Flavors.

Okay.

Brookers Founding Flavors.

Look kind of like the founding fathers.

I like that.

This is such,

this is history and yummy ice cream.

And it's it's to die for ice cream.

It is 18%

butter fat with a mix of custard from a local

hormones or antibiotics.

And the ice cream is amazing.

Oh my gosh.

Looked at our Google reviews.

Our Google reviews are five stars and we've only been open for four months.

And in fact, tomorrow is our four-month anniversary of our grand opening.

I will tell you,

I will tell you, there is nothing.

The next time I come into town, I will go.

I will tell you that my schedule is so tight.

I am

literally everybody is, it's like crazy.

There's no time for ice cream.

That's how bad it is.

That's how bad it is.

What do you mean there's no time for ice cream?

What the heck kind of sense of?

You would not believe.

I have been, I have been, I've got like 14 things to do, and everybody's like, you are late.

One minute for this.

One minute for this.

Okay, we will make it a plan because, you know, we've been to your, we've been on your show.

My husband and I, years ago when you were in New York City, we were homeschooling our kids.

And so we brought our two daughters onto the Liberty Tree House show twice.

Get out of here.

Then my husband, no, then my husband and I came back and we like held George Washington's compass.

There's like an audience, but you let hold the compass and put a thumb.

Shut up.

Oh, well, I have to come.

So when did you start making ice cream?

Oh, this is a 20-year dream.

So my husband got a lot of MBA.

And he wanted to, he just wanted to make ice cream.

So he studied on the side.

Aside of being a lawyer and being in sales, he has been studying like a different places on how to make ice cream.

And he's a former

jag for the Army.

Can you kill himself?

Can you, can you, can you transport it?

Bring it to the theater.

What do you think about it?

Can you

ship it to Dallas or something?

I can meet you tonight.

I can get you some ice cream.

I can get you, George.

You tell me who your favorite founding flavors are, founding fathers, and we will bring the ice cream to you.

Well, you know who my favorite founding father is.

But listen to these flavors.

James Madison's constitutional crunch, Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Cookie Cookie Dough.

Oh, my gosh.

Give me chocolate or give me death.

What is the George Washington flavor?

Oh, it is loaded peanut butter, loaded is chocolate.

It's the Reese's pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cuts.

Franklin's Black Raspberry Republic, if you can keep it.

It's the name of the ice cream.

At some of these, you really went down a long.

This one's Nathan Hale's regret that he has but one flavor to give for his touching is the name of the ice cream.

Isn't my husband awesome?

I love it.

It is so delicious.

All right, Brookers.

And we'll bring it to you tonight.

Brookers.

Flavors.

Brookers founding flavors.

And what town is it in again?

It's in Vineyard, Vineyard, Utah, right west of Orem.

Oh, John Adams.

Oh, my Ouija.

You have an airport there.

You have an airport there.

There is a movie theater.

There's a Geneva Megaplex, and we're right in front.

Okay, well, a movie theater is an awful awful lot like an airport, but that's, you know, whatever.

Okay.

Jamie, thank you so much.

God bless you.

And good luck with your business.

Good luck with your business.

We'll see you soon.

All right.

Bye-bye.

I'm going to be in Utah tonight.

Got a lot of things.

The governor is going to be at this premiere.

There's several people that are going to be sitting in the audience that

are going to see this.

They've added like 10 different showings of it tonight.

Just look for megaplextheaters.com, megaplextheaters.com.

Come with me and see Unplanned tonight in Utah.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

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

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

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, sir.

Is it my turn?

It is your turn.

Excellent.

Here I am.

Yeah, there, in all of your glory.

So, Bill, it's been an interesting week.

I have never seen so many people disappointed that our president wasn't a traitor.

That's true.

There's no doubt about it.

And

that proves malice.

That narrative.

If you're going to look at it on a legal viewpoint, there's your malice.

That has changed, however.

They first were saying

he's going to get nailed.

He's going to get nailed.

Then when he wasn't, oh my gosh, I can't believe this.

Now they're saying by Wednesday, the narrative had changed yet again to it's a cover-up.

It's a cover-up.

I know, but

I mean, it's kind of like

the Titanic.

The narrative changes like, oh, you know,

it's bad, but not that bad.

Okay, so

you got to divide it up.

So let's take television first because that's the most visible emotional that we have in this country.

So these MSNBC and CNN people are in a free fall of ratings dissent.

You know that, right?

You've seen the numbers?

I get them every day.

You know, I don't see the numbers.

I'd love for you to tell me the numbers because I haven't actually seen it.

I'd say 40%.

Oh, my gosh, from where they were?

From the crest of the we're going to impeach Donald Trump, and then we'll give everybody a pitchfork and walk up to the castle and get them.

So, what do they have?

Now, like, what's their, I mean, I hate to go so inside baseball, but what do they have now?

Well, CNN does not have one program in 24 hours that gets more than a million viewers, not one.

And that's two plus, or is that 25?

Two plus.

Two plus?

don't matter anymore because demographics were destroyed about a year and a half ago.

So no cable news program does a good demographic anymore.

25 to 54 Americans are gone.

But the two plus, those are the elderly people that watch cable news and

kids three and four years old who are just sitting there playing and it's all.

People trapped in the airport.

Yeah.

So anyway,

CNN does not do one program with more than a million viewers, which

I've never seen that before.

I've never seen that.

Right.

MSNBC Maddow used to be buying for the number one slot, the most watched program.

You know, she was doing 3.5 million some nights.

She's down at 2.3 million.

And this is in two or three days.

It's not a gradual divide.

And then all of the other programs have collapsed

program as well.

So

there you have an industry now, the hate Trump television industry, that doesn't know what to do and is panicking.

Now, you would think that maybe they would show a little contrition.

Say, look, you know, we really thought that this was a serious situation the nation should know about, but turned out that it wasn't what we described it to be.

But our mistake was not made out of malice.

No.

Instead, they said just what you said.

I have to cover up.

And then, you know.

But Bill, that makes, I mean, they painted themselves in a corner.

I mean, and I know you're op-ed people are going to watch you.

Right.

No, but wait, wait, wait.

Your op-ed covers this.

This is the problem with people who are absolutists.

And, you know, people always claim that I was a never-Trumper.

I was not a never Trumper.

I said, if I'm wrong about this guy, and I hope I'm wrong, if he's doing those things, I'll be the first to say he did those things and I was wrong.

I've been right on a lot of stuff that really concerned me, and I've been wrong on some stuff.

And so I call the balls and the strikes.

But the people who have either been never Trumpers and who will not budge from that and recognize, I mean, you still may not vote for Donald Trump, but you have to recognize, wow, some of the things he's done really good.

Some of the things like last night, I'm not really, I'm not thrilled with that.

I still think that's a problem.

Stop it, Mr.

President.

Please be the president.

But

nobody in media did that.

It was one way or another.

And if he would have come out and it would have proven him to be in bed with Vladimir Putin, then you would have had the same thing, I think, with a lot of people on the other side.

They would have said, this is just a deep state.

You have to.

It doesn't matter, though, because people are people, but broadcasters and journalists are supposed to be professionals.

Yes, I know, but

they didn't do that.

And so now they don't have a choice, Bill.

Their audience doesn't.

They have a choice.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Their audience does not want to hear.

The only people that were left were the people who just wanted to hear bad stuff.

And everybody who is gone and hadn't been watching them, they're not coming back because they don't trust them.

So then you're over.

That's it.

You're the Baltimore Orioles.

You're not going to.

Don't use a sports analogy with me because that could be good or bad.

I don't know.

Yeah, okay

and the other thing is i can't identify with you about you call balls and strikes because i'm never wrong i'm never wrong all right my i just strike strike strike all right but what you're what you've put yourself in a position to defend or explain is now cnn and msnbc go well we're the fraud network Want more fraud?

Come on in.

No, I know.

I'm not defending them.

I'm explaining them.

No, but you're explaining that strategy is insane.

I know that.

I'm not saying I agree with it.

I'm telling you.

Yes.

The lords who own Thayer are going, hey, hey, we got a special on fraud this week.

Come on in and watch our fraudulent broadcast.

Or, Stu, what did I say for the last year, every single day before we left Fox?

What did I say about the cable news industry?

We have to get out of here because it's over.

It's going to burn itself down to the ground because they were not

they would happen till I left.

No, no, no,

no.

I'm not talking about Fox.

I'm talking about the industry as a whole.

If you look at what has happened to our broadcast industry, they have just sold their soul to

sold their souls to either love or hate Trump.

Yes, they sold their souls for the money, and when you sell your soul for the money, the devil shows up.

Yes.

Okay?

Yes.

And the devil just showed up in the form of Mueller.

Here's Satan.

He didn't do it.

So you all pay a price.

And the price is that you have a network that employs thousands of people and you can't explain what you did.

So who's going to watch it?

Oh, it's going to get worse.

You said you were right about this.

This is a strike for Beck.

The zombies will watch it.

So

I would just nickname all my shows Cuomo of the Living Dead, Wolf Blitzer of the Living Dead.

All right?

Because that's all who's going to watch it.

And so then that's it.

That's the television industry.

Newspaper industry, a little bit different.

Now, the New York Times, the Washington Post, they think that they are the best back.

They're the smartest.

They're the most honest.

Well, they won Pulitzer Prizes for this.

Rise in Darkness.

That's the slogan of the Post.

Hey, you know what?

They'll stay in business because Bezos runs

the Post and is a gazillionaire, and the Salzberger family runs at Times.

They're not going out of business.

But who believes them?

Only the living dead believe them.

Well, I will say this: who believes them anymore?

I believe the subscription of the Times.

I believe The Times has actually done well in this atmosphere.

Where cable news has not.

They have done well in a sense that they had got a few zombies to sign on to their

internet thing.

Their paper,

okay.

I mean, that's hemorrhaging.

They said themselves back that in three years they might not even publish a newspaper.

It might be totally online because zombies don't like newsprint on their hands.

It's hard.

They don't wash their hands.

It's hard to get it off.

So anyway, you've got a number of things, but the Democratic Party thing is the most important

for our country.

So, in the Democratic Party, then you had the same thing.

Okay, hang on, hang on, because this is going to get interesting when we get into break and I got to take a break.

Yeah, I got to make money.

You know why?

Because money keeps.

You spend too much.

Because

we make money and then we can pay for the transmitters and everything else that keep your voice alive.

Yeah, that works in gratitude.

Fair point.

So, a lot of people work for free.

Nothing wrong with that.

Slavery.

This is why you have to go to billorilly.com and subscribe because poor Bill is just suffering.

He's suffering.

He's just suffering.

He's on the verge.

He's a white man suffering.

Oh, my gosh.

All right, Bill.

So now you say the Democratic Party is important.

What they do, this is important for America.

Right, because you don't want

a democracy not to have legitimate legitimate choices.

I mean, you want to have vibrant debate.

You want to have

a situation where

you get

challenges to power.

I mean, I want President Trump to be challenged, and I want it to be intelligent because that's where you find the better solution when everybody has to think and has to come up with a better idea.

Correct.

But now you've got the party of hate.

I mean, can anybody dispute that?

Do we have from yesterday the audio from

Joe Biden on the white culture?

Could we play that here?

I don't know if you've heard this.

Yeah, I saw that.

But look, he's just babbling.

No, no, no.

No, no.

You don't have to do that anymore.

He doesn't even know what he's saying.

Yes, he does.

Listen.

No, he doesn't.

Listen.

He's 78.

Hang on, just listen.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

They put things in front of him and he just babbles.

Hey, man, how old are you?

80?

85?

17.

Come on.

How old are you?

Seriously.

90?

I'm not going to tell you.

91?

97?

Because I'm working for free.

Hang on.

Here's Joe Biden.

Do we have it?

A really notable woman, Anita Hill, professor, showed the courage of a lifetime talking about her experience being harassed by Clarence Thomas.

We knew a lot less about the extent of harassment back then, over 30 years ago.

No, we didn't.

But she paid a terrible price.

She was abused through the hearing.

She was taken advantage of.

No.

Her reputation was attacked.

I wish I could have done something.

I opposed Clarence Thomas' nomination.

I voted against him.

But I also realized there was a real and perceived problem the committee faced.

There were a bunch of white guys.

No, I mean sincerely, a bunch of white guys hearing hearing this testimony on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

So when Anita Hill, when Anita Hill came to testify, she faced a committee committee that didn't fully understand

what the hell is all that.

So he goes on to say, this white culture man, this white culture, man, we got to get rid of it.

I don't even begin to understand this.

Number one,

I guess I missed the Clarence Thomas trial where

evidence was introduced and he was convicted by a jury of his peers.

Did you guys see?

I don't know why I missed that.

No, I don't know.

I don't think they they had one.

Oh, yeah.

So there's Joe Biden.

Due process.

Nope.

Bye.

No due process for Joe.

Uh-uh.

Secondly, so Joe doesn't want to be white anymore.

He doesn't, because this is not a good thing in the Democratic precincts.

If you're a white guy, that's not good.

That's Beto's problem.

Beto's white.

Now, I understand he's going to clinics, but he's white.

And, you know,

white guys are the problem, Beck.

I mean, you and I are the poster problems for the white guy thing.

So it's absurd.

And I really believe that Biden just babbles.

I don't think he thinks out what he says.

Got that in common with Donald Trump.

Donald Trump will just get up there some nights and just babble

because the crowd is whipping him up or whatever, not thinking about what he's saying.

He just says it.

And Biden does the same thing.

So we're going to have a really

very entertaining debate.

Do you think Biden is going to be the nominee?

It's my front runner.

It's Biden, Kamala, Harris.

Hey, I got some inside information on the Democratic Party.

You want it?

Yeah.

Okay.

So now, you know, I don't use anonymous sources, so I can't confirm this information, but it's gossip.

It's good gossip.

All right.

So the Beto O'Rourke campaign is being supported by

the Obama people.

And the Kamala Harris campaign is being supported by the Hillary people.

And I got that from a very, very high-ranking Democrat.

But I can't confirm.

I just thought it was very entertaining gossip.

So I think this actually really makes sense.

If you saw

how Barack Obama was treated on Capitol Hill when he went up and tried to speak to the freshmen, and he was like, guys,

stop it.

And

Omar actually came out and said, you know, look,

you're a failed, you were a failure of a progressive president.

I mean, they are so extreme now that Barack Obama

looks like a white GOPer to them.

I know, I know.

But

let's get back to the Mueller report and how the Democratic Party absorbed it.

So you didn't have anybody, anybody in the party saying, hey, you know, I'm glad this is over.

This was not good for the country because our president had to spend 50% of his time defending himself against these charges, and now he can get back and we can try to get solutions to vexing problems.

Did you hear one Democrat say that?

No, in fact, I was shocked at

how they were so saddened that our president wasn't a traitor.

It was crazy.

Yeah,

I saw more of that on the media than I saw in the Democratic Party.

But I was waiting for one Democrat, just one.

Yeah, none.

Yeah, to say, okay, the system worked.

We did what we had to do.

And now it's good that we don't have to do this anymore.

No, I like the fact that it's a fat border problem.

I like the fact that they were talking during Kavanaugh that they had to have the FBI because the FBI can do things that Congress can't do.

And then this week they were saying, well, it's a good thing it's out of the hands of the FBI because we as Congress can do things in investigations that the FBI can't do.

Look, they're not going to do anything.

It's over.

It's over.

And it's going to get worse with the Horowitz report, the DOJ Inspector General, and the Huber report.

He's the U.S.

Attorney appointed by the Attorney General to look at the FBI.

Those two reports are still going to drop.

So it's going to get worse for the, we hate Trump.

He's a traitor crowd.

So, Bill, yo.

We left it off at the Democratic Party, and

what you think

is coming our way?

Yeah, I mean,

if they're going to present themselves, the Democrats, as the party of hate,

they're going to lose.

And I don't see how they get out from under that with not one

reasonable person

presenting

what we just talked about before the break.

That, okay,

you know, we accept the investigative

conclusions, and now we want to solve the border.

So, Bill, I know

you are a

student of history as much as I am.

So, let me give you a theory.

Every time the socialists rear their ugly heads in America, they do the same thing.

They start to become arrogant and they just think everybody's with them and they scare the hell out of Americans and Americans go running the opposite direction.

It happened in the

10s and 20s.

It happened in the

40s.

It happened in the 30s and 40s.

It happened again in the 60s.

It's happening now.

People freak out when they see, when that mask starts to come off, and they're like, oh, wait, wait, wait, we don't want this.

I think think they've overplayed their hands so much on so many places that, for instance, with the Donald Trump thing,

they now see

they have completely destroyed their credibility.

And even the people who are Democrats, I've heard Democrats, you know, Democratic neighbors, not people on TV, Democratic neighbors say, I mean, enough.

I mean, enough.

The guy, we did two years, enough.

Same thing with the abortion thing.

I'm not for infanticide.

This is ridiculous.

Enough.

Get rid of the free market.

Oh, come on.

Enough.

Reparations.

Give me a break.

People want to be good.

They want to get along.

They want good race relations.

They want women to be treated fairly.

They want people to be given a chance.

But the socialists now and the Democrats have so overplayed their hand that I think this week we saw the snowball that

they were packing and they were just trying to push it up to the top because then it would roll down the other side and crush the city.

I think it's stopped and they keep packing it bigger and bigger and it's about to roll back on them.

Well,

I don't know about the snowball.

I kind of missed that.

It was not snowing here in New York.

But what I'm

what the you're right.

Oh boy, does that hurt.

Oh, I just got this sharp pain and right in my chest.

Yeah, I know.

You're about to have a lot of those.

And there is proof because of the vote on the Green New Deal.

So this amused me greatly.

So Mitch McConnell, I'm not a fan of his, but he's this old-time

political guy.

Go ahead and say rule.

Nobody knows what he's talking about, but he knows every rule.

He says, you know, we're going to vote on this Green New Deal.

And the Democrats go, no, no, we don't want to vote on it.

And he goes, well, I don't care.

We're going to vote on it.

Under the guise of, well, we want to debate this seriously in the Senate, so we need 60 votes in order to get that done.

That was the vote.

So you have to vote for the debate.

So here's what I loved: Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts, who I've known for many years, and

he's not a foolish man, okay?

He co-sponsored the Green New Deal.

He didn't vote for it.

He didn't even vote for his own bill.

No one voted for it.

All right.

All the Republicans and four Democrats voted against it, and the rest of the Democrats voted present,

as Barack Obama used to do when he was in the Senate, which means I don't want any part of this.

So

by the way, I hope Mitch McConnell, because what AOC said was, you know, I told them we should all just vote present.

Everybody should just vote present in the Senate.

She told them.

So she's running the party now.

But anyway,

he's going to start a new party.

Did you hear this?

No, a Tupperware party?

No, it's the Like You Know party.

Really?

Really?

Anyway,

so like

you know,

she was actually saying, and everybody parroted this, this was just a trick

that Mitch McConnell played, and we really need to debate it.

It was a trick.

She's actually right.

It was a trick.

Embarrassed her.

Right.

But it wasn't a trick.

It was, let me introduce your bill.

It's not really a trick.

When you write a bill, let me introduce you to the bill.

Do you believe in channeling back where you can talk to the dead?

I mean, you talked to Stu, so I know you have experience here.

But do you believe in channeling?

No, I don't.

Why?

Well, I do.

And I channeled Eugene V.

Debs,

E-E-B-S,

the first socialist candidate to ever run for president of the United States.

And Eugene told me in a little seance, all right, they're insane.

I wouldn't vote for this.

Eugene Debs is not on board.

That's how dumb this whole thing is.

And dumb is the word.

But I hope that McConnell takes her up and says, okay,

let's have a debate on this.

Let's open that up to the floor.

Nobody wants to debate it because it's so stupid.

I know that.

No one supports this.

I know.

I know.

Joel Castro

called me and said he was offended by that.

And I had an interpreter.

I knew what he's saying.

I speak a little Spanish.

So, Bill,

last thing.

I know your book comes out,

The United States of Trump, and

how Donald Trump

really sees America.

It goes on sale in September, but you can pre-order now.

Let me hear you talk about how you felt last night watching the president, if you did.

Okay.

And it's an excellent question because I'm writing this and it's driving me nuts.

It's the hardest book I've ever written.

Killing Jesus was so hard to write because we had to confirm with Roman records and Jewish records.

But here, I can't get research that is reflective of honesty.

Everything that's been written about the man is a lie.

And I have to do it myself.

In fact, after I hang out from you, I've got two people that I'm speaking with.

These are all eyewitness people, no anonymous sources in the book.

All right, so I wasn't surprised by anything except the profanity that Trump delivered last night.

I don't know why anybody would be surprised.

No.

I'm not surprised.

I'm not even surprised by the profanity.

I mean, and it was one.

It was one.

Well, and I'm not, I wasn't offended.

I mean, my my language sometimes gets a little rough, as everybody knows.

But it's not for the president.

The president shouldn't be doing that.

No, he shouldn't.

But he doesn't have any discipline in his speaking style.

Right.

All right.

And he never will.

All right.

And I explained that in the book.

I explained why he doesn't have discipline in his speaking style, how he goes about things.

But Donald Trump is a man who basically

is going to play always,

every second of his existence, to his base.

He's going to play to the base.

And this is what everybody has to understand when he speaks.

His base in Michigan, all 12,000 people who showed up, wanted him to rip

these Mueller people up.

That's what they wanted, Beck.

They came to hear that and he gave it to them.

He doesn't care about diplomacy.

He doesn't care about hurt feelings.

He doesn't care at all about commentators saying that he's a barbarian.

He plays to his base.

How is he going to win?

Always.

How is he going to win?

Because I think there is a lot of people.

That's another excellent question.

There are a lot of people.

A lot of people really,

you know.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Another excellent question by Glenn Beck, everyone.

Big round of applause all over the country.

Look, his calculation is,

you may not like me, but they're so bad and they're so much worse than I am

that you can't possibly give them more power.

Well, I will tell you this.

I will tell you this.

And this is one of the things that I, because I saw that Captain America is now coming out and saying, I've got to speak out against, you know, these Trump people.

How could you possibly vote for Trump?

How could you possibly vote for anyone who will not stand against infanticide how can you vote for anybody who will not stand up for the the the free market system you know there's they've gone so far beyond anything I recognize as Western civilization now that there is no there is absolutely no choice if the election were held today there is no choice and so I

understand that however if he would try just to knit together just a little bit

by softening this rhetoric just a little bit, it would be easier to seal the deal.

Do you agree?

Well, yeah, I mean, stepping back, of course, if I were in the White House advising him, I would go over the speeches and then take out the stuff that's extreme.

I mean, he's going to do it anyway.

He'll just ad-lib it.

Yeah, I was just going to say that.

But he's not going to listen because he gets whipped up.

And in his soul or in his being, fiber, he's angry.

And I would be too.

He wants to be an Avenger.

He wants to be an Avenger.

And that's his presentation.

And he'll either live or die on it.

I don't expect him to modify.

All my research shows that he is never in his entire life modified.

The only person that he listened to in his entire life was his father, Fred.

And Fred's not here anymore.

So I think you can expect him to slash and burn.

And I don't think he's going to dwell on Mueller much longer.

But once the other two reports drop, then he's going to go to town.

Bill O'Reilly, thank you very much.

Again, his book, The United States of Trump, How the President Really Sees America Goes on Sale in September, you can pre-order now.

Thank you so much, Bill.

I appreciate it.

All right, guys.

Have a great weekend.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

You know, I moved to Texas for a couple of reasons.

Well, I mean, let me say this.

I moved to Texas because I felt guided to Texas.

I felt that this is where we were supposed to be, my wife and I both did through prayer.

However, intellectually, I moved here for a couple of reasons.

It's, I thought, one of the last places where freedom really exists.

Texas has created about 50% of all of the jobs during the Great Recession.

It was Texas that pulled us through.

And thank you, Texas.

And I know they would just tip their hat and say, hey, not a problem.

But I think even Texas is struggling now and will struggle because I think we're about to lose it because of the influx of Californians.

And it's really kind of losing its

understanding of what has made Texas so different.

One of the states that was in the running, but I didn't think I could get anybody to move there because they were all moving from New York City, was Utah.

And had I had to do it all over again, I think I would do Utah because Utah is not the state that it used to be.

It's not some, you know, far out west kind of pioneer state.

It is now a high-tech hub and its economy is booming.

Governor of Utah is joining us now.

He has been the governor.

This is your third term, isn't it, Governor?

It is.

I'm in my 10th year now.

Yeah.

Glenn.

And I talked to you earlier this week, and I wanted to get you on the air

for the one reason that you are

signing in a couple of bills that the legislature has passed on abortion.

And

I think that there is a I think there's a movement happening in the country.

For the first time, people are willing to look at this because those who have been saying, you know, rare and legal and safe don't mean those things anymore.

They don't mean rare.

They're shouting their abortion and they want it after birth, which is terrifying to me.

Tell me what you guys have done in the state.

Well, thank you, Glenn.

I'm honored to be on with you.

And by the way, before we start, I ought to say to you, it's not too late to get a home in Utah.

We just had a new blanket of snow this morning.

The skiing is great, the greatest snow on earth, and our economy is humming.

Well, I will tell you this, Governor.

I got a call from Vineyard, Utah.

I've never heard of Vineyard, Utah.

Yes, I know Vineyard.

And I got a call from Brookers Founding Flavors Ice Cream.

It's a new store that started.

And

they had me at

18%

butterfat in their ice cream.

I just want to say.

Well, I know Doug Ducey, who's the governor of Arizona, started Coldstone Creamery.

And he said, I sure love Utah because per capita, we're number one when it comes to consuming ice cream.

number one a lot of good things yeah but feel welcome to come to Utah we'd love to have you here

I I hear what you say about this abortion issue which has been

kind of divided our country since Roe v.

Wade 1973 I do echo what Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that this should have been decided legislatively and not by nine people in black robes.

I think the country would have been much better off if we didn't have activism from the court and let state by state by state as sovereign states, in fact, determine these issues legislatively.

And clearly, what has come out of this is clearly

a loss of, I guess, elevating people's lives and humanity.

And we just have a different form of birth control now called abortion.

That's not what it was designed to do, to be, and what the promise was before,

as you said, I think safe, legal, and rare is anything but rare.

And that's unfortunate, I think, for us as human beings.

So the legislature in Utah just passed

a couple of bills.

One, thank you as a father of a child of special needs.

Thank you for taking a stand on the most

humbling among us, those with Down syndrome.

You guys passed this and you're about to sign this in.

Tell me what it is.

Yeah, so we've said that if you choose to have an abortion simply because you have a Down syndrome child, that that's not appropriate.

Just as we would want to not discriminate against individuals with Down syndrome in our society, we shouldn't, in fact, discriminate against them in utero.

And so we've passed a law, which I have signed now, which says that that's not a reason to have an abortion to say, well, my child will have Down syndrome.

The other one is we've assigned into law is that we've moved it to 18 weeks as far as the timeline.

So

you cannot have an abortion in Utah under this law after 18 weeks.

There are typical exceptions that we have in the law,

a woman's life at risk, you know, if you have a rape or incest.

There's some other exceptions to therefore

brain damage of the fetus, etc.

But we've moved it to 18 weeks with a belief that we are, in fact, stating to the world we believe in the sanctity of life, and we need to be pro-life.

And I'm unabashedly and unapologetically pro-life.

And I think that most of America feels that same way.

So, Governor, let me ask you this, because it's moving the opposite direction.

Technology is, you're going to be able to live outside the mother's body,

you know, at four weeks eventually, probably.

So it's moving in the other direction that it's viable.

I think it's Georgia that just passed the heartbeat.

I mean, when we stop,

when somebody stops at an accident, the first thing they do is, is anybody alive?

Check the heartbeat.

When you hear the heartbeat, that's when you know that person is alive.

They're going now for the heartbeat law, which they're going to come under all kinds of scrutiny and trouble for that.

But doesn't that make sense where we should be going and headed?

Well, when I was in the Army doing my basic training, I can tell you that's exactly what my first aid classes taught us.

First check for a pulse, heartbeat, clear the airway, and then treat for shock.

Stop the bleeding and treat for shock.

That was the order of things.

He always checked the pulse and heartbeat.

That was a sign of life.

And so I agree with what George is saying.

I think the heartbeat aspect of this, which you can detect after six weeks, ought to give us all pause.

That's a sign of life.

And what would we want to do to interfere with that progress

in the womb, particularly, until it's ready to be born?

Why would we want to interfere with that?

It ought to prick our consciences to say what we're doing here is probably not what we would do as humanity,

whether it's a religious belief or just the values that we have as human beings and association one with another.

But the heartbeat issue, I think, is one that's always bothered me, in my view, of being pro-life, pro-life, is when that heartbeat's detected, that certainly is a sign of life.

We're talking to Governor Gary Herbert, the governor of Utah, who has ⁇ I reached out to him earlier this week and really wanted to know if anybody in his office could even attend this screening, and he immediately said, I'll be there.

And so you're coming tonight.

We're going to come down.

In fact, I'm bringing the first lady.

She wants to be there, and I'm going to try to bring the first son.

So

again, I think it sounds exciting.

I've seen The Trailer.

I don't know the movie, and I don't know Miss Johnson.

Is that her name?

Yeah, Abby Johnson.

Yeah, I mean,

it's surprisingly uplifting.

It's not a dirge.

It's not one of these movies you have to see.

It's a movie that you'll be glad you saw because you'll leave there uplifted.

It's got a great message to it.

But I'm telling you, if your teenagers go, they made it rated R for for a reason, to stop teenagers from being allowed into it.

Because if your teenager sees it, they will forever be, anybody who sees this, your conviction of this is murder will happen when you see this movie.

Well, again, it should give us pause and it should give us opportunity to think through what we've done, maybe reverse

what we have as policy in this country.

And

you mentioned science, Glenn, and I do believe that's an important aspect of what's happening now.

If we have a child born premature,

science is able to save their life in a much earlier time.

More premature preemies, you know, are being saved now because of science and advancement in science that we have ever before in our history.

Well, if we can do that to save a child that's born premature, again, why would we not, in fact, want to save a child that comes out for whatever reason?

And I guess some of the horror stories we're hearing as we let this

premature

infant sit there and gasp and just die because we won't assist it.

And that's the part I find just really hard to understand.

Why would you not assist anybody who's gasping for life?

trying to breathe and trying to be viable, and yet we have somebody that would say, no, we'll just, if it can't survive on its own, it will die.

Be be like you being under water and having an

aqua system, you know, and somebody pulls a plug on you and you gasp there and say, well, if you can't do it on your own, we'll just let you die.

I mean, it's very similar.

And I think science is certainly teaching us that there's opportunities for them to survive outside the womb with science and scientific help, and that ought to happen.

We ought to be there prepared

to help that unborn child survive.

Gary Herbert, Governor of Utah.

We'll see you tonight, sir.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you, Glenn Grace.

God bless.

You bet.
