On the Fringe of the Fringe? | Guest: Bill O'Reilly | 1/25/19

Welcome to the program.

I'll talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.

You know,

it has changed my life.

It has changed my life.

But this week has just been a nightmare for me.

Really?

Nightmare.

Sorry to hear that.

And yeah.

And it's just,

it's nice to be able to have something that

gives you some relief.

And Relief Factor does that.

I urge you if you are in chronic pain or you just have

the usual aches and

pains to try Relief Factor.

It's helped me an unbelievable amount in the last year.

We've been talking about it as a low-risk, high-reward sort of situation because it's $20 for the three-week quick start, $20.

And 70% of the people who take it buy it again.

It's working for them.

And it may not work for you, but you're out 20 bucks.

But if it does work,

I mean, the reward is so high.

That's just a good cost-benefit analysis.

How much give it a shot?

How much getting rid of your pain?

How much is that worth to you?

I think it's worth more than 20 bucks.

So give it a shot.

Give it a shot.

I know I was at the end of my rope.

I would have given anything.

Relief Factor.

Try now.

ReliefFactor.com.

That's relief factor.com.

Or you can call 800-500-8384.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Oh, CNN, they're such great journalists over there, and Brian Stelter is just a genius at helping.

He wants to remind the media that they should remain upset about this, this shutdown.

And we've got a great story from CNN that, you know, proves why Microsoft

gives them that green check mark.

Also,

we have a couple of other stories that I think are probably

pretty important as well.

Did you know there was a school shooting last week?

Yeah, it's odd that nobody in the national news covered it.

We'll tell you why coming up in a second.

Also, I want to explain why the abortion bill happened.

We begin with a great show in one minute.

This is the Glen Beck program.

I haven't even told you yet, Stu, the abortion thing.

It just dawned on me last night.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is why it's happening.

And it has nothing to do.

Well, it has very little to do with running for president.

Should I write that down?

Abortion thing?

Yeah, just write down.

Should I get to that today?

Real reason behind Cuomo and Vermont's abortion bills.

All right.

Got this in from Stephanie in Florida.

Last year we decided that we would take a transfer that my husband's company had offered, leaving our hometown of over 24 years, leaving our children and grandchildren.

It was going to be an emotional move.

I listened to Glenbeck almost every day.

I heard his advertisement for real estate agents that they have the same integrity that I would, so I thought, I trust Glenn, why not?

I'm really glad that I called.

Ashley, the real estate agent, was a godsend, and she returned my call within an hour.

Not only did she hold the values that we expected, but she ended up being such an encouragement to us.

We prayed together, we laughed together, and we made the whole thing so much easier.

The sale got a little squirrely, but as Glebeck said she would, she took charge and just got it done.

I'm so glad I took the time and followed the voice that told me to call the number that Glenn advised.

It's um it made a trying time, a much better experience.

The real estate agents at realestate agentsitrust.com are there to help you, and they are like you.

We vet each of them, hand pick every single one.

And then we refer when you call in the right real estate agent that knows you, knows the value of your home in your area.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Sell your home fast.

Well, Stu,

where would you like to start today?

Robots may take your job.

Quarter of U.S.

workers at risk.

And U.S.

Heartland will be the hardest hit.

Or we could start at Meet Harper, the CNN story about the government shutdown,

and it's horrible.

Or I could tell you, we could start with why the New York law is actually New York law.

What's really behind that?

Well, I mean, as a person

with real

feeling for others,

I'm concerned about Harper.

Well, I want you to meet Harper, 15-month-old Harper.

She was born prematurely.

She needs a breathing tube.

That sounds really rough.

It is.

It's horrible.

It's horrible.

Now, before I get into this,

I just want to read you something from Brian Stelter, who, you know, is the guardian of journalism.

He's the guy who look out for, you know, he's going to tell the truth.

He's going to make sure that nobody's pulling any funny business.

Nobody's cramming in agenda anywhere.

They're taking

the real hard look look at the news, and they are a dependable news agency.

And we need people like that.

We sure do.

Unfortunately, Brian Stelter is not one of those people.

This is from his

little newsletter that he sent out last night.

Stay shocked is the headline.

We're five weeks into this self-inflicted wound.

The shutdown was embarrassing on day one and even more embarrassing on day 35.

Now, that sounds like a neutral journalist, doesn't it?

Yeah, he's just telling us how embarrassing it was on which days it was embarrassing.

Exactly right.

It's also just the

facts.

A challenge for journalists.

Don't get numb to the pain and the political posturing.

This type of story is the one that gets bigger as time goes on.

Wow.

Wow.

Well, there are real effects, Glenn.

I know.

And

I'm glad that

there's people out there guarding

the gates of journalism to make sure that they're focusing on a story that could be harmful to President Trump.

I mean, if you don't remind them, they're not going to remember to look for things that are bad for the Trump presidency.

They're going to sit back all day and just report really good economic news.

And you've got to remind them to keep back and keep looking

towards the White House for any story that could potentially be negative.

Well,

they finally put their gaze out to

the heartland of America, and they found some of the suffering, suffering people from this shutdown.

And here's one of them.

Meat Harper.

15-month-old Harper, born prematurely, needs a breathing tube.

This was reported by CNN just last night.

See, here's the picture of poor little Harper.

See how cute she is?

She is cute.

Yeah.

And

what does the banner underneath?

Say, can you read?

Yeah, it's pretty far away.

But Kentucky couple who needs a child needs a breathing tube, concerned about electricity being turned off while not getting paid.

Well, that's what happens.

When the government shuts down because of Donald Trump

solely,

then there are issues with paying bills, and the electricity could be turned off, and the breathing machine could be turned off, and this child could...

I mean, God only knows what could happen.

Well, Donald Trump has said that

he'd negotiate, but there is no negotiation in this.

There's no negotiation.

You've got to stand your ground.

Of course, when somebody wearing a MAGA hat is just standing in place and doesn't move, you know, NBC will lecture that kid that you shouldn't stand your ground, that you should retreat.

But it's different for Nancy Pelosi and everybody else.

Anyway, here's the story.

It's hard to read.

Little Harper, her dad, Chris, is a data processing assistant for the IRS.

He's working without pay.

His wife Allie Allie says they're going to run out of money in another month or so.

And they're concerned about the electricity being turned off.

And that is the electricity that powers Harper's ventilator.

How do you people not have a heart?

I mean, that's amazing, especially,

thankfully, we have the left that is here for us and cares so much about babies being alive that they can show that utter concern for this particular one.

I mean, sure, there's, you know, a few dozen million that they haven't cared all that much about, but think about this one.

Well, this one's out of the womb for 15 months.

Oh, okay.

And so they care about them.

They don't care about them half out of the womb.

But after they're out of the womb for 15 months, if the mom still wants to keep the child,

you know, we should care about this child.

I will say, we should, of course, give the mother the opportunity to choose whether she keeps that ventilator on.

Because she she has a choice.

Can I tell you something?

If she would have known that the kid was going to be born prematurely and then have all these medical problems and be such a hassle, she probably should have aborted Little Harper, don't you think?

Well, certainly her choice to do so, Gladys.

Yeah.

I mean,

I wouldn't, and I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure those on the left see the drain that poor Harper really is on the family and on society.

But let me just point this out.

Now,

this took about a minute of research on something that not a lot of people have.

Certainly, CNN doesn't have this,

called

Google.

It's G-O-O,

French, G-L-E,

and I think it has the

Axon-e-Grande.

What do you call that thing?

That little hash market at the end of the yeah, it's got one of those.

So I don't know how to pronounce it, but I think you can find it.

Well, you just look for it because CNN doesn't have it.

But did literally about a minute's work i just googled ada rules about power shutoffs uh and i and i i got here protections against power shutoffs and i printed it now this is all in a minute i printed this and also the sample letter that you would need uh from your doctor so I've printed them both off.

I don't know if they still have mail service in Kentucky or if they have ever gotten that because of evil Donald Trump.

But here's the thing.

Because of the ADA, you cannot turn off the electricity of someone who has

life-dependent

machines running in the house.

And all you really need to do, and I know this is such a hassle, but all you need to do is just type up a quick letter.

And I have the example.

I could send it to the family.

And the doctor just needs needs to say, hey, there's a 15-month-old baby in this house named Harper.

Doesn't matter why the family is unemployed.

The family could be, you know, running a crack house.

And there's no demand for crack right now.

And so they need to have their electricity, even though they can't pay.

And it's against the law for the power company to turn off the power.

Now, I know that was a lot of work for CNN to figure out,

but we did it for them.

You should send them the Google thing you're talking about.

I know they should have that.

Yeah, that's fair.

You have an advantage over them.

I know, I know.

I have things that CNN just couldn't figure out.

When I read that story last night, I could not believe it.

It is illegal to shut off power to people's houses.

You can't just shut it off.

If there is someone with life-saving equipment that is run by electricity, it is illegal to shut it off for any reason other than natural disaster or, you know,

mistake, right?

A mistake or something.

But you, it is very clear you can't do that.

And that's the ADA, right?

ADA.

ADA.

People with disabilities.

And you would think that CNN, because you always hear CNN and liberal journalists saying, you know, well, the ADA, and we need to strengthen the ADA.

Well, here it is.

Here it is.

It's protecting this poor little girl and the family.

CNN just used this family.

Now, I'm not saying that this family in Kentucky isn't struggling.

I'm not saying that if

you've been furloughed or if you're working, I don't even know how that's legal.

I don't know how it's legal either.

But you should talk to your Democratic senators because I actually do know how it's legal.

The reason why we can say you have to come back to work, but we're not going to pay you is because the government politicians want to be able to have that vice because if we could just say okay everybody's got to come back to work because you are an essential employee the tsa irs whatever you guys all have to come back to work and we have to pay you because

nowhere it's slavery to do others

the only reason why they have that is so the politicians when they shut down the government and they want that squeeze they can say oh look at these poor people they're not getting paid and they are they're working anyway without pay this is a game

and every single person that's been furloughed i'm sorry but the person to blame are your congress people because congress is the one that can change that law they choose not to

never more than 60 seconds away from uh the rest of the show But there's actually more to this story.

And we'll give that to you coming up in just a second.

First of all,

you know, getting sick in the cold is

fake news.

Oh, you're going to go out with your jacket and it's going to be cold and you're going to get sick.

Well, that's not how you get a cold.

Well, the word cold is the same as the way that you describe the weather.

So I assume that the science lines up.

Oh, thank you, liberal professor of today.

No, actually,

we get sick because we're inside too much during the winter.

It gets cold outside.

So we stay in and we keep everything buttoned up and the air gets dirtier and dirtier and dirtier.

And it's like being on an airplane.

You're just breathing bad air.

And if your filter is dirty, it's even worse.

Change your filter.

Change your filter.

Filterbuy.com.

I mean, we all get flu shots.

Why aren't we changing our filter?

Why isn't there a big movement?

Why isn't there a big movement?

Change your filter.

That's that's healthy.

That's an easy step, too.

It's an easy step, especially with Filter Buy.

They'll send them to you automatically, and you'll even save 5% if you sign up for the automatic replacement.

It's filterbuy.com.

That's filterbuy.com.

We pause now for 10 seconds, station ID.

We're going to get to Roger Stone's arrest in just a minute.

Also, I will tell you all about what's really happening with the New York and Vermont abortion bill.

Why is this a law?

Oh, my gosh.

It hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday.

And I was like, oh, my gosh, how did I not think of this?

The first day I saw it.

We'll give that to you in a second.

Also, a school shooting that strangely was not covered last week.

I was also listening to CNN this morning a little bit because I wanted to know what the next

problem was for a federal worker.

Because again, if we don't remind them to look for negative stories about this president, they will forget and they will just report positive things.

So we have to make sure we're always looking for those.

And so they did a story about the shutdown.

And apparently a couple of weeks ago, they had a couple people on who missed their first paycheck.

And one of the women, the woman who was on, said, I am worried because

I don't have a lot of money,

paycheck to paycheck.

And I am worried that I am not going to be able to, you know, to make it here if I miss paychecks if this keeps going on.

Does CNN, when they sit down with them, do they remind them that they can go to a bank?

and get a short-term loan.

And

they are aware of that because they were bashing Wilbur Ross, who suggested this.

Of course, he's in the Trump administration, and they did remember this time to look for a negative story on Trump.

And they found one with Wilbur Ross, and they said, Well, people can't just all get loans, and there's interest they have to pay, and it's wrong.

This is a let-them-eat-cake moment, essentially, is the take on that.

Now, off with their heads.

And their answer is: well, how can I get a loan if I can't prove income?

Well, I mean, I don't, it seems to me the bank

may have seen the news as well

that the federal shutdown is going on.

And you have

pay stubs from the federal government.

Right.

From previous weeks, right?

I mean, even when you buy a house, you don't have to show your most recent pay stub.

You've got to do someone in the last couple of months or whatever it is.

So this is one of those things that, as Wilbur Ross said, they are basically federally guaranteed loans.

Yes.

Okay.

So that's a big deal.

But they asked her how she was going to do things, and she was pretty sure if she missed another paycheck, she was going to be out on the street.

Of course, they followed up with her to find out what happened.

And she's like, well, luckily I have family and friends that are really helpful.

And that's, of course, great.

It's something that us conservatives talk about all the time.

It doesn't always have to be the government who steps in and does these things.

We have family and friends who are help as well.

However, she also pointed out, and I thought this to be, I could be completely the only one in the world who didn't know this, but I found it completely fascinating that she also was able, she said, to get her unemployment to come through.

Now, unemployment for a furlough, like if you're at a company and and you get laid off, unemployment, very common thing that happens, right?

People go get unemployment in that situation.

However, I have to admit, I was unaware that if you are a federal employee and you are furloughed in this temporary period, with all indications being that you're going to have your job back as soon as this is over,

and you're going to get all your pay back as soon as this is over,

you can get unemployment in the interim.

I honestly did not know that, but that's a fascinating thing.

So, to understand here,

and we like, you know, a lot of conservatives like to say the shutdown, oh, it's 800,000 people.

Like, the government should be slimmed down anyway.

And, you know, good, go on.

They're not doing anything.

But think of how bad this is for a taxpayer.

We are now paying unemployment to a federal employee who is not working, so not producing anything.

And then when they come back, they're going to get all of their back pay as well.

So they're going to get taxpayer money from from us for their jobs and taxpayer money from us for their unemployment in the interim.

Does it make me a bad person that I kind of wish I had been furloughed?

Kind of.

I mean, I mean that sincerely.

Look, I could go to a bank.

If I worked for the federal government, I could go to the bank.

Oh, well, you have to pay interest.

Yeah, okay.

So I go to the bank.

I get a loan.

So I have the same lifestyle.

I can just get a revolving loan.

I get it every two weeks from the bank and I'm going to be good.

And then I know that's paid back because you know

I'm going to get that paycheck.

Okay, so I'm going to pay that loan off.

Well, it's got interest.

Yeah.

But also, while I've gone to the bank to get that loan, I also can get unemployment, which will pay for my

interest on that short-term loan

and then some.

So I'm actually making money.

Does it make me wrong to want to game the system?

Because it doesn't seem that hard to make it

and honestly, game the system.

Now, to be fair, right, probably there were a lot of federal employees who thought this is going to be over in a week and didn't apply for unemployment or didn't get it for some other reason.

There are people who surely had credit bad enough that even if you said it was a federally guaranteed loan, the banks were like, eh, no, thank you.

And certainly there are people who are legitimately affected.

It's not zero.

The number is not zero.

But they don't talk about that when they say 800,000 people are out.

That doesn't all are all on ventilators.

They're all on ventilators to the media.

And there are those stories, but those aren't the only stories.

And unemployment is an interesting part of this.

If you can get enough, and unemployment's less than you're making at your job, right?

But it should be enough, hopefully, to get you through this period while this is going on.

And remember, of course, this large payment is going to be coming right around the corner when this thing shuts down.

That doesn't make your life easy.

I'm sure this is legitimately affecting them.

And we mention this a lot, but the media doesn't seem to focus on it.

But there are other people who have businesses around where these federal government employees usually work

and they don't get any payback at all.

They don't get unemployment.

They don't get their checks.

Those are the ones.

Yeah.

Those are the ones.

People are running private businesses in the areas of a lot of federal employees.

If you run a breakfast shop outside of a big government building that now is barely attended,

your job is, you know, your whole business is being screwed.

And because the government is so big and has its fingers in everything that we do, it does affect a lot of people who are not going to get that made-up paycheck.

And it also will affect the economy and the numbers behind the economy.

You're going to see growth go down and all the things that, you know, this good economy that has been built by the American people and Donald Trump trying to support it as well.

Well, it's a good thing that Brian Stelter is on things like this, isn't it?

That is good.

Because thankfully, someone's looking for something negative about this president.

Jeez, can't somebody find something?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

So what's the real reason behind the abortion law in New York?

We're going to have that coming up.

You can always get everything on the podcast as well

on iTunes.

We welcome Mr.

Pat Gray to the program.

Bill O'Reilly is going to be with us in about 30 minutes from now.

Still to come on today's program, we have a Freedom of Information Act that we filed at the Blaze to find out about this Vietnam hero, Nathan Phillips.

And he is a hero.

He had a job that I don't, I mean,

I don't know how he did it.

I don't know how he did it.

So we have his record from the federal government of his military service, and you're going to be fascinated by that.

Also,

we have the news about a school shooting that somehow or another didn't make the national news, was only covered locally, which was odd.

And I can't figure out.

Now, I do have a theory on why it wasn't covered,

but I'll give that to you also.

And the abortion law.

Should we start there?

Welcome, Pat Gray.

Thank you.

Good to be here.

Which one do you want?

Choose your news.

Let's talk about the abortion law.

Okay.

Theory.

Pat,

why

is

the governor of New York, Cuomo, suddenly coming out with the most extreme abortion law you could possibly imagine that women can kill the baby all the way to birth?

And healthcare professionals don't have to be the one.

A doctor doesn't have to be the one that is even performing it.

And any reason goes, why

would Governor Cuomo do that?

Well, are you alleging it's not just because he's so in favor of women's right to use their own reproductive

situation?

I am.

I am suggesting that.

You are suggesting that.

Yes, I am suggesting that.

Because that's what I thought.

I thought it was just he loves women so much.

Yeah, and they celebrated this as a huge victory.

They lit up the sky of New York with pink so they could celebrate this huge victory.

Stu, what is your, beside that, you know, that he just loves, he just loves the women.

What would you be your guess?

Other than he loves the women?

Yes.

Okay.

Potentially,

he could be a person

who is considering a run for office in 2020 and realizes he needs to get as far left as possible for a Democratic primary audience?

Yes.

So that's what I have been thinking.

Yesterday, before the TV show, it just hit me like a bag of bricks.

And I'd just like to pass it by and see what anybody else thinks.

I was reading a story right after the election of Donald Trump.

And, you know, this is when they were, well, they still are, looking for, why?

How did Donald Trump win?

We had the perfect candidate.

We had the perfect message.

How?

How did Donald Trump win?

Do you remember?

And they were throwing everything against the wall.

Well, one of the stories that I read, and I had completely forgotten about it until yesterday, I don't know why it just jogged with me, but I remembered the story where the press said, well, one of the reasons why he won was SCOTUS.

Now, I think that's true.

One of the reasons why Donald Trump won was because

we care about the Supreme Court, right would you all agree with that yeah okay but the story said something that I didn't know that that never works for the left that the left for some reason is not as attached to the Supreme Court thing when they're casting their vote for president now you would think I've always thought that they were but apparently the studies show that it doesn't affect an election like it does for the right doesn't get the vote out.

Correct.

So they need to be able to balance that.

They need to be able, because they know, I know, you know, look,

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in the next five years.

Even if she chooses to leave, she's not going to be there forever.

And it's probably going to happen in the next five years, right?

I mean, it could happen tomorrow.

She's very, very ill.

And I don't wish anything.

I don't even, I'm not even going to say that scrap.

Everybody, Everybody, every disclaimers, every reasonable person knows.

Yes.

So

she's not going to be with us long.

We

are going to say, I don't care who it is.

I want the right SCOTUS person to replace her.

Correct?

Of course.

If that doesn't work for the left, it will energize the right.

They have to have something.

So they've just put in the bill and they've passed it as a law to the point to where I'm not signing anything unless this is in here.

Now, it is so unpopular with the American people.

It is the fringe of the fringe.

It's way beyond anything that anybody has ever proposed.

Way beyond France, way beyond Europe.

We are on the cutting edge in New York of death.

But equal with North Korea, we should point out.

We are now equal with North Korea on that.

So we got that.

All right.

So it doesn't make sense to me unless you're just trying to run to the Uber left.

That's not enough.

That's just not enough.

However, if you enact that

now,

you could expect to see some court cases come up from the public that says, I'm not doing this.

My tax dollars are going to fund abortions.

This isn't right.

I want to challenge this in court.

They are begging for a challenge in court.

They're begging for it.

So then by the time it just starts to bubble up, doesn't even reach SCOTUS yet, by the time it bubbles up, they've got evidence that women are under attack.

And when RBG goes,

well, women are going to go back to the Stone Age.

They're going to grab you by the hair and drag you back into the cave.

Roe v.

Wade's going to be overturned.

This is what they're doing.

This is what they're doing.

This is all about driving the vote and appeasing the uber-uber left because the only ones that want to do that are the uber-uber left.

So they're playing to the ones that they know will go out and

work hard.

That's what's happening.

It's an interesting ingredient into how they handled the Kavanaugh thing, too.

Yeah.

Right?

Like, they're trying to make the Supreme Court as big an issue to the left and their voters as it is to the right.

They are going to make Kavanaugh again.

The election will see prediction.

You will see in the election,

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is ill and is going to go away.

And we have passed historic celebratory

action for women and protection for women's rights and women's health.

And men like Kavanaugh are going to be placed on the Supreme Court.

That is the angle.

They are going to bring Kavanaugh back up.

They are going to use this as something that New York celebrated.

Why are they using the language of celebration?

Why light the sky?

Why did the governor insist that they light the sky?

They certainly did draw attention to it.

Sure did.

And they put some provisions in there that you wouldn't think they'd even want.

Like non-physicians can perform abortions.

Why would you want that?

So

can we please post on Glenbeck.com today,

somebody should post it right away, somebody

in the research room.

I got a lot of Facebook posts and a lot of people on Twitter and email yesterday saying, I can't, I keep being told by friends that it's not true that

anything goes, any reason goes.

They're saying that I'm a liar.

It's not any reason.

It's just all factors.

All factors is the quote.

Okay.

If you have, you can't, for example, you can't go in there and say, you know what?

I have absolutely no reason to get an abortion right now.

However, I would like one.

In theory,

now, most likely what would happen with a a doctor who is actually willing to perform an abortion like this, they would say,

you're going to have to give me a reason or I can't do it.

Do you have the sniffles?

Because after that, it says all factors, and it's

physically, mentally, psychologically,

familiarly.

The pregnancy is too upsetting to you.

Yes, that's good.

Psychologically.

So

the idea of being a mother, I am not prepared for.

It's weighing on my mind.

That's enough.

That's enough.

And And that's the thing.

You have to have a reason, but the reason needs to fall into this tiny category of all factors.

So any excuse whatsoever that will convince, now again, it has to convince the doctor to do it, but any doctor who's willing to do a third-term abortion is going to say, okay, well, yeah, if you're stressed out because of this pregnancy, that's your health, and that's enough.

So they're looking at a technicality that

I would venture to guess that most of them know is not really a restriction on abortion, but they're just saying it anyway because they know it's a technicality.

Some people might not be aware, though, too.

We will have somebody write this up and give you all the links so you can argue this.

We need a page.

We need something at Glennbeck.com that has all the links for

the Covington kids.

So you can just say, no, I want you just to go here and just watch these links.

I want you, you know, abortion.

Look, it's right here.

Everybody always says, gosh, I wish, you know, I was arguing with somebody.

I wish you were there.

I wish Russ was there or somebody like that.

We are going to give you all of the arguing points with the links that have nothing to do with us.

So when you're in an argument about abortion, you can go right to the page and you can click on it and it will take you to the bill and to the section of the bill that says these things.

So you have the proof.

And it's not us.

We're just showing you where they can find it if they want to do their own research.

Are you sure, though, Pat, it's not just that he really cares about women?

I'm not sure.

Okay, so you're stuck with that and you're one over.

I think he might just care really a lot.

By the way, I just got an update on Nathan Phillips.

I don't know if you guys know this,

but we got a Freedom of Information Act fulfilled yesterday, so we have his war record.

But also, there's been some testing done on Nathan Phillips, and he is one 1024th Warren.

Briefly, not a lot of people.

I was shocked because I thought there's no way he's got any Elizabeth Warren in him.

But it turns out he does.

One 1024th.

I think he's a bit more Elizabeth Warren than that test.

Does seem like it.

Well, maybe he's just identified as a Warren family member.

I'm not sure.

LifeLock.

I remember when the guy who started Life Lock took out

bus signs.

Remember when bus signs actually made a dent and anything?

He put out bus signs with his face and his social security number.

He's like, I remember that.

I can give you my social security number and it doesn't matter because I got lifelock.

And I remember thinking,

I'll tell you my social security number right now, too.

And it doesn't matter.

I gave it away to get my Subway Frequent Eater card.

I didn't care.

Did not care.

And it took me years to start caring about Social Security before I really understood it.

Now, oh my gosh.

In one thing,

one thing.

Now I'm like, you know, my iPad passcode, my my Netflix passcode, I'm covering up.

It's crazy.

Now you really need Life Lock to protect yourself.

Now nobody can, you know, stop all identity theft and monitor all transactions and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But

these guys are the best.

And one of the reasons why is they not only identify it because they're watching as much as they can 24-7, but also if there is a problem, they have a U.S.-based specialist that's going to clean it up.

And that makes all the difference in the world.

So we just had a government worker call in, and

I hope this is true because it makes me feel better.

That if you are a government worker and you're getting unemployment, you have to pay it back.

So you can't game the system.

That's good.

And that makes me feel that makes me feel a lot better.

It does.

It makes me feel a lot better.

Yeah, I mean,

that would be completely ridiculous.

So, but again, this is it makes it hard to understand why you wouldn't be able to get that.

Well, it makes it really hard to understand why

the unemployment insurance wouldn't just cover all of it, because if they're getting all of it back.

And maybe they do.

You're right.

It's a federally guaranteed loan anyway.

Right.

And it's the government paying itself.

Right.

The government can go, let me just see if I can find you in the system.

Yep, you're furloughed.

Okay, here's, you know,

here's a dollar less than what you're making.

Why not?

Because the federal government can also say, you've got to pay this back.

Okay, well, if you don't, I'm just going to withhold it until it all is paid back.

Not to mention, we make hundreds of billions of dollars in mistaken payments every year through the federal government.

The fact that they can't pay their workers for actually working.

This is just a show.

This is just a show.

It is one of those things, though, as conservatives, you know, a lot of times we kind of

we talk about that as like, okay, 800,000 employees.

Well, the government should be trimmed by 800,000 employees.

Is this a bad thing?

And of course, number one, you're not getting any whatever productivity you would get out of these employees.

You're paying for it, but you're not getting anything.

So, as taxpayers, we're literally paying for nothing.

I mean, yes, yes, it sucks for the people who are losing their jobs for this period of time.

It does.

But as taxpayers, we are paying taxes to employ these people for doing literally nothing.

Yeah.

Imagine,

I don't know.

Imagine you're paying for electricity, and you have to continue to pay for electricity, but all of the employees have been furloughed.

So you're not getting any of the electricity, but

you still have to pay for it.

None of us, we should be the ones that are up in arms.

How much am I paying that I'm not receiving?

And that's the thing here.

We should talk maybe later on today and give the list of the seven out of 535 in Congress that actually voted for spending cuts last year.

That's crazy.

Seven of 535.

Crazy.

Also, we're going to talk about Roger Stone.

What a surprise.

That guy was arrested?

Well, it was a surprise to some people.

Strangely not CNN, who just...

Followed their gut and happened to be at his house when he was arrested.

But no tip-offs there.

They were just following their gut.

Also, Bill O'Reilly.

Next.

I want to tell you a little bit about Mercury Real Estate, and that is realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

If you're thinking of buying or selling, you need a great real estate agent.

Yeah, I like the fact that you can, because I can't stand the super salesy people.

And if you're looking for someone who's a listener to the show, shares the same values, does the business, you're comfortable doing business with a handshake, that's the type of people you have on Real Estate Agents I Trust.

Yeah, and they're great.

They know your area.

They know how much your home is worth.

They're going to get the job done.

You're actually most likely, most people write to me afterwards and say, I feel like I've made a new friend.

I kind of miss them.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Was it the hat or was it the smirk?

Roger Stone, surprise, surprise, in jail today.

State of the Union been canceled.

The government's still shut down.

Is this a win or a lose?

The most radical abortion law ever has been passed in New York.

Nathan Phillips, we just found out he's one 1024th.

Elizabeth Warren.

More on him and the despicable behavior of the press.

All of this with Bill O'Reilly.

His perspective and no spin from Bill in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Today is going to be a good episode with Bill O'Reilly.

All right, let me talk to you about Zip Recruiter.

If you're looking to hire somebody, there's nobody better than Zip Recruiter that can find that right person.

Now, when I first started doing commercials with ZipRecruiter, they were this little company, and what they did is is they would take your job and they would post it on all of the big job sites.

Well, because ZipRecruiter was advertising to employers, people started sending their resumes to ZipRecruiter.

And so the guy who runs ZipRecruiters is really kind of a...

kind of a genius.

And he saw this as an opportunity to become the biggest job placement service in the country.

So not only do they now place all those, but they actually, they bought the Google building in Los Angeles and filled it with data scientists.

And now they have an algorithm that goes out.

When you call or go on to ziprecruiter.com/slash back, you fill it out.

They find out everything that you're looking for.

Then it runs through

their algorithm and it goes out and it searches and finds the right employee.

That's why employers will get somebody they can hire, somebody who's qualified for the job, sometimes within an hour.

That's remarkable.

Yeah, you don't actually have to settle for crappy employees.

I appreciate you doing it.

Thank you, Glenn.

But you don't have to settle for crappy employees.

All right, Bill O'Reilly is here from BillO'Reilly.com.

Welcome, Bill.

Very warm welcome, gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

My day is off to a great start.

Boy, it is.

I tell you, we were relieved.

Bill,

I'm so excited to hear your take on all of the things that have happened because this has been a big week.

But let's start with the latest breaking news of Roger Stone.

Can you fill me in on what's happening with Roger Stone?

Maybe.

But first, I'm just going to concentrate on the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

I'm going to go into the enlightenment area now.

All right, okay.

Thank you.

All right.

Thank you.

So I don't know anything about Roger Stone.

Never met him, never talked to him.

Looks like kind of a crazy guy to me.

Yeah.

He's got a big tattoo all over his back.

67 years old.

I don't know what that is.

There should be a limit, by the way, in tattoo Pollers.

If you're over 28, you can't get one.

Constitutional amendment bill?

Is that how you go about that?

I was really hoping for.

Enlightenment.

I was hoping for a little more enlightenment.

Yeah, I'm going to give you something in enlightenment area.

All right, now.

Okay, so Mueller,

when he started investigating this Russian collusion allegation, he basically have a chart, and I know this to be true, and there's names on the chart.

It's a flow chart that says Trump campaign, and there's a, you know, maybe 30 names, maybe 40 on the chart.

And he looked into all of them.

He looked at all of these people that were working directly with Donald Trump in some capacity.

So that's where you start.

So Roger Stone was a gad fly,

somebody who was around Trump, wanted to curry favor with Trump,

advised him on certain things.

He knew Trump for a long time.

And he is the Nixon original dirty trickster.

I mean,

this is a guy who has a really bad past.

He's a consultant, a political consultant.

Right.

There's tons of these people.

And then they're hired by groups or PACs or whatever, and

go get this one, find dirt on that one, do whatever you want.

But

in the initial

thrust of

the Trump campaign, everybody wanted to curry favor with Donald Trump.

Everybody in his organization

who wanted to work for him, get on a campaign, they all wanted his attention.

That's very important for everybody to understand.

Everybody wanted Trump's attention.

Not easy to get because his attention spans about 20 seconds.

You got to bring something pretty big to get Donald Trump's attention.

So Stone

had

some kind of relationship with the WikiLeaks crew.

Remember WikiLeaks crew?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, so the Wikileaks people hacked in and found out bad stuff about Hillary Clinton and her campaign.

Stone was the middleman there

talking to WikiLeaks and they'd give him gossip.

And then he'd run back to the Trump campaign.

and tell him the gossip.

Oh, this is what WikiLeaks hacked in.

This is what they're going to have.

This is what we're going to see.

That's what Stone did.

That's who he is.

All right.

He's the middleman gossip guy.

So when the investigation came, when Mueller launched, they brought Stone in and said, were you the middleman gossip guy?

Stone goes, no.

That's why he's indicted.

So

let me go here and let me change it slightly onto the media.

Now, the media happened to be there at Roger Stone's house.

That was a coincidence.

coincidence.

It was.

It was good.

I love this.

Walking down a street in Florida, and the FBA goes, hey,

we're going to arrest Roger's thing.

Come on.

Yeah.

The CNN anchor actually said, Good job following your gut and being there on this one.

Following their gut?

They happened to be there with a camera crew.

It was the same thing like Flake in the Elevator at the Senate when the CNN crew was right behind the fanatical

far-left person who was yelling at Flake.

She just happened to be there okay mueller and somebody of mueller's uh crew probably in the fbi i you know it is speculation this is an enlightenment now now i'm into speculation now let me go to the fbi you know and gave somebody a call and said they're going to be here so show up let me go now to uh the hat and the smirk

all right so now we're going over to the kentucky kids we're finished with roger stone yes is that okay bill did you have anything else you wanted to add to that?

No.

All right, good, good, good.

All right.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

All right.

What do you want me to?

What question do you want on the Kentucky kids?

You want me to dance?

No,

here's the thing.

First of all, is this a story that is beyond the hat?

If that kid wasn't wearing the hat,

would we even know this story?

No.

No, it's all about Trump.

Everything's about Trump.

Everything.

All right.

So the kid and his friends are at the pro-life rally because a lot of Catholic school kids go every year.

All right.

So it was a mistake for the kid to wear the hat, by the way.

If I had been the, and I, as you guys know, I'm a former high school teacher.

If I had been the advisor on that trip, I would have said no political paraphernalia because we're here for a moral reason and we want everyone of every party.

Don't know if he wore it during the march.

I mean, and

it looked like a new hat.

And, you know, you're coming home with a souvenir.

I don't know if he brought the hat or just got it.

He would have worn it in the context of being at the pro

life demonstration.

If I were the advisor, I would have

advised against that.

But

he was now getting ready to get on the bus.

So do you have a right to wear a hat and not be accused of crime?

He has a constitutional right to wear it, although the advisor being the school attached to the school could have said, Don't wear it, and the kid could not have overridden that.

But as an American says, he has a right to write whatever he wants.

I'm talking about what's appropriate, all right, and why

I would have, as an advisor, said no political stuff.

We're just here as Catholics, and we're here as Christians in a right-to-life context.

We're not doing politics today.

All right.

So the question, though, is: would the press have latched on this and viciously attacked these kids had they worn a Joe Biden for president hat?

And the answer is absolutely not.

And I think you have a good pretty good perspective on it, but let's just advance it a little bit further.

Okay.

And because everybody knows what happened, and you can make up your own mind as a listener.

I mean, we saw the video.

We know that the kids were not at fault.

We know the media viciously attacked the kids.

And the media may be, oh, well, we're sorry, but they're not really sorry.

No, they're not at all.

The NBC interviews show they don't care at all.

They're not sorry.

I mean, you know, it's like Savannah Guthrie,

who's not, you know, she's not a political fanatic.

She takes orders.

All right.

And her orders were,

don't be mean, but be skeptical.

Okay.

So.

And don't be skeptical with Nathan Phillips.

Yeah.

The story for the media, and if you read my column, brand new column on BillO'Reilly.com, the story that the media now is advancing is that, yeah, maybe this wasn't the kids' fault, but anybody, anyone who wears a Trump hat

is

triggering, there you go, there's the word, triggering bad feeling in America.

So if you have a Trump hat or socks or a bumper sticker, you are a trigger for negativity in America.

That is the story.

And they're trying, the media is basically trying

to set up a scenario where if you don't vote for the Democrat for president, no matter who it is, you're an evil, bad person.

Well, if you're wearing a Trump hat, you're wearing a Trump t-shirt,

you've got a Trump 2020 sticker on your car, you are a bad person.

You're evil.

So, yeah, so what they're doing is if you have a Trump sign, Trump 2020 sign in your front yard, you can be attacked because you're obviously a bad person who's just trying to trigger people in the neighborhood.

That's right.

And these kids, yeah, we weren't fair.

We, the media, weren't fair, but they deserved what they got because they had the hat on.

So if everybody understands that, if all American voters understand the hatred

that is going to be the theme of the next presidential race, it's all about hate.

not about the economy anymore, not about China, not about Putin.

It's about hate.

All right.

I'm going to pick it up with Bill O'Reilly, where we left off here, and also take it to New York abortion

and the school shooting that happened someplace.

School shooting this last week.

Didn't get any coverage whatsoever.

I'll pass that by, Bill O'Reilly, as well, coming up in just a second.

One minute away from more from Bill O'Reilly.

Let me take one minute to tell you about Car Shield.

Car Shield is a lifesaver and you might think I don't I don't need that or I can't afford that right now.

Believe me, you can afford the monthly payment to make sure that you have coverage much more than you can afford a single sensor in your car going down.

Those sensors now are anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 and your car ain't working without it.

I mean,

I know when I see that check engine light go on, I just, you just know I'm in for trouble.

Take all of that worry away.

You don't even have to front the cash and then wait for the insurance company to pay you back.

That's not the way Car Shield works.

They pay the mechanic directly and you can go to any mechanic that you want.

They have you covered.

If you have a car between 5,000 and 150,000 miles, it doesn't matter.

You're covered with Car Shield.

We pause for 10 seconds and then back with Bill O'Reilly.

Bill O'Reilly,

let's continue down this road just a little bit.

We filed for a Freedom of Information Act on Nathan Phillips and his war record.

Do you know what he did?

Was a Marine, right?

Yeah, well, yeah, he was in the Marines.

But he was an infantryman for two days, and then they transferred him, and he became a refrigerator repairman.

He was

in the Marines.

He spent his time as a refrigerator mechanic.

So, yeah.

And then he went AWOL twice.

His records show that

the

His trial records were not included with our Freedom of Information Act

requests.

So I think we have to request for those as well.

I'm not sure if we can get those.

But he went AWOL two times.

Maybe he had frostbite.

Well, I'm not sure.

It is cold in the refrigerator, especially if you're in Nebraska

during the years after the Vietnam War.

They responded to you pretty quickly with that FOIA question.

You got that stuff fast.

Yeah, I know.

I was shocked.

I didn't expect it.

It came in yesterday.

Yeah,

they're terrified of you.

Sure, they are.

Look, you know, I don't know who this guy is.

With the drum,

I don't care who he is.

It doesn't matter to me who he is.

He's out there.

He's at a pro-life demonstration with the drum banging it.

Okay?

I mean, it's not the kind of guy you want to have dinner with.

Yeah, no,

he was actually at a Native Americans no border

rally.

And then he segued over to the pro-life rally.

Yeah, then no, then he just walked over to the boys who were getting onto a bus after the poor

the pro-life rally.

I mean, the guy is an anti-border guy, which is why he went to the kid with the red hat.

He was trying to prove a point, no borders.

Okay.

So, you know, there are nuts everywhere.

And

when I see the press

basically, and I think it was the Washington Post, say that it was a Vietnam vet, My first

feeling was, I don't believe the Washington Post.

Not because

the guy couldn't have been a Vietnam vet.

It certainly could have, who's at that age.

But it's the Washington Post.

They don't check anything.

They're not going to check anything.

It's going to, oh, they had a vet.

Bang.

That puts the narrative in a higher plane, so we use it.

And then it went, well, we're sorry.

Well, how many times are you going to be sorry over there?

You know, you got that little Pinocchio thing that you do on everybody else.

You know, why don't you do it on yourself?

How many retractions are we going to get from the far-left press?

Every single day we get them now.

But here's what concerns me.

You had the

NBC, Washington Post, CBS, you had all of the usual suspects.

And at first they reported it.

Okay, mistake.

Then new information comes out

and they say, oops, sorry.

But they don't retract all of it.

They just say, hey, there's

new

facts emerge.

Well, that's not an apology.

New facts emerge.

Then they stick with this.

They stick with the story.

And it is a provable fact with videotape.

And here's what I want to ask you, Bill.

The press has crossed the Rubicon.

They have crossed a line now from where you could say, well, I don't know.

You could look at it that way.

You could, if I'm going to be really, really generous, you could give them the benefit of the doubt.

There is no other story other than they knowingly are lying.

If this is what they're doing today with videotape, what are they not willing to do?

Number one, Julius Caesar would have executed everybody in the press by this point.

So if we were in the Rubicon, that would have, you know, they would have all been dead.

Number two, this is actually a good thing for honest Americans.

So this whole thing

is good for the country, this Covington high school snafu.

Because now

even

the dimmest of us

cannot defend the national media any longer.

You cannot walk out of your house and go, oh, they're fair.

Oh, I believe the New York Times and Washington Post.

They're fair.

They're giving me the news that I need to make a responsible decision.

You can't do that.

Nobody can do that.

You'll be laughed at.

You'll be, I mean, even the far-left kooks will laugh at you.

Oh, come on.

You know, they're in our pocket.

We have them.

So it's, you know, this brought it over.

BuzzFeed just set this up.

All right.

BuzzFeed set it up because people paid attention to the kids.

Nobody pays attention to BuzzFeed.

And by the way, back in Stu, did you know that NBC invested invested $200 million into BuzzFeed?

Did you know that?

Wow.

No, I did not know that.

They're the biggest backer.

Comcast, the biggest backer of BuzzFeed.

All right, back with Bill O'Reilly on so much more to cover coming up in just a moment.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I don't know what King Bill sits in when he's doing his broadcast, but I'm guessing it's not an ex-chair.

You should get him one.

That is...

You should get him one for president.

I mean, it's so nice to come on every week.

Maybe get him an X-Chair.

I mean, they have the X-Chair Basic now, which doesn't have all the features of the other one, but it's really comfortable.

He's got like $500 billion to his name.

He can buy his own damn chair.

That's kind of a nice gesture for someone to do for someone else.

Does he seem nice?

Well, I'm saying it would be a nice gesture for you.

Do I seem nice?

No, you do not.

Okay, enough said.

Stop arguing with with me.

It's X-Chair.

You get the X-Chair and the X-Chair Basic.

They both have the dynamic variable lumbar support,

the back height adjustment, the rocking tension control, and a really great price.

X-Chair on sale for $100 off.

Go to X-Chairbeck.com.

That's the letter XChairbeck.com or 8444XChair.

The shutdown's still going on.

We'll get the latest from Bill O'Reilly.

More with him in just a moment.

Here on the Glenbeck program.

This is the Glen Beck program.

More on Roger Stone and his arrest and what it means for Donald Trump, which I don't think anything right now,

but it might mean something big for Steve Bannon.

And I think he's going to be the next one.

We'll explain why coming up in just a second.

We're back with Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

And Bill, you're a New Yorker.

You're a Catholic.

And I don't think you're a Cuomo

supporter.

But

Cuomo has gone off the deep end with this new abortion law.

And the left is lying about it, saying that it doesn't include any reason whatsoever up until birth, which it absolutely does.

Sure, it's infanticide, and anybody honest would know it.

I've known a Cuomo family

40 years.

Decent relationship with Andrew Cuomo.

So I'm going to tell you a story I've never told publicly, but now I can tell it because of the developments.

About seven years ago, Cardinal Dolan came to me.

He's the head of the New York Archdiocese and said they this pending bill about abortion on demand at any time in Albany.

Can you talk to Governor Cuomo about it?

Maybe it was five years ago.

I was in Los Angeles.

So

I said, Your Eminence, I'll do what I can,

but

I've got to keep it in a professional way.

I've got to say to him, look,

here's the situation, and this is why the the Cardinal is concerned, and I have to have your permission to do that.

I can't do it as a private citizen, even though I'm against it.

He doesn't care what I think.

So anyway, I put in a call to the governor, and he did get back to me very promptly, and we had a very nice discussion for about 45 minutes about the bill.

And at the end of the discussion, he said, well, let me think about it.

I'm not going to do anything on it now, which he did.

Which he did.

Now, his argument for the bill was not that he believed it.

He didn't.

He said he didn't believe in it, that he was a good Catholic and

all of that.

But

his job was not to

impose his religion on anyone, and the liberals in New York wanted it, you know, the usual, but you wouldn't bet.

But he did table it for a while and never pushed it, never really got beyond.

But once the Democrats got both chambers of the New York legislature,

the far left came to him and said, you're going to do this or we're going to attack you.

And of course, you know, Cuomo said, okay, well, I'm going to do it.

And that's what happened.

All right.

So we have...

My beef, my beef on it is Cardinal Dolan.

Cardinal Dolan should basically be out there in front of St.

Patrick's Cathedral saying, look, this is infanticide.

You have to have some standards.

on abortion.

You just can't say, I'm going to give birth in a week, and I'm panicking because my boyfriend left, or my husband left, and I don't want the baby, so the baby's going to be terminated.

That just can't happen in a civilized society.

And I think all of your listeners would agree with that.

But Dolan doesn't do that.

And unless you bring moral power to these arguments, you're going to lose it,

particularly in states like California and New York.

So,

a story that I've never shared.

Cuomo called my office about five five years ago and wanted to meet with me privately.

And

the word was that he just wanted to show that

we had a lot of things that we had in common.

And I thought it was very weird and I knew it was because he was wanting to run for president and I never took the meeting.

However,

that gave me reason to believe that one of the reasons why he was doing this now was because maybe he wanted to run for president in 2020.

But I since have had another thought, and this came to me yesterday, Bill.

I read a story right after the election, you know, when everybody was like, wow, how did Trump win?

And one person said, which I thought was accurate, that Trump won because he could capitalize on the fear of the Supreme Court.

And conservatives always respond to that.

And in

this article, it said, it was written by a lefty, and it said,

That's something that the left doesn't do.

The right responds to that, but the left doesn't.

With Ruth Bader Ginsburg in very poor health, we all know that somehow or another, I mean, she's going to retire or she will, you know, pass away here in the next five years, and there will be a very important slot open on the Supreme Court.

I think this has been passed in its most radical form to activate the most radical of the left, to signal to them that we're your people that will get it done, and also to get a court case coming up, bubbling up, so they can make this about Kavanaugh and who else, what other radical white man will drag you back into the cave to overturn this historic women's rights legislation.

What are your thoughts?

I don't buy that because that bill was there for so long and it just was politically expedient now for Cuomo to do it.

He does want to run for president, by the way.

Cuomo does want to be president.

Yes.

All right.

But

he's got headwinds in a form of Joe Biden.

He can't beat Biden on the moderate track.

Yesterday Biden came out and said he likes Republicans in Michigan.

That's the clear signal.

Look, I'm not a loon like the rest of my party is.

So Cuomo knows he can't beat Biden.

If Biden were to say I'm not not going to run a month from now, I think Cuomo may get in.

Anyway,

you have basically essentially a split in the Democratic Party

between the Democrats who know that the Ocasio-Cortez's

and these people are going to ruin the party because Americans are not going to vote for socialism, never.

Even though the press promotes these people all day long, and it looks like they're mainstream now.

They're really not.

They're really out there.

Okay, and most Americans aren't going to buy into the government taking your stuff, which is what it comes down to.

And the final thing about this thing is that, you know, we live in a country that doesn't really, as I've said many times, I don't want to be boring about it, pursue the truth anymore.

And, you know, abortion is the law of the land.

It's not going to change.

Roe v.

Wave is not going to be overturned.

But the states, the individual states,

have have a right under the Constitution to regulate

how a life-ending procedure

is

put forth.

The states have the absolute right to do that.

And that's what the Democrats don't want.

They want the federal government to have a blanket and say, you can have abortion for any reason at any time.

And that's what Hillary Clinton did.

That was a big mistake that she made.

And that's it.

So

it's, you know, is that really the kind of society you want?

Even the Western European nations, about as secular and liberal as you get, they'll have that.

Is that what you want?

Is this what we want here?

That's how it has to be framed.

It can't be framed as a women's rights thing.

This is what they do all day long.

And by the way, when I said in December, you may remember this, that Ginsburg, I don't believe that she's ever going to sit in the court again.

That's how ill she is.

Yes, I know.

You saw how I was attacked.

I was attacked.

But Megan McCain on the view.

Oh, you're un-Christian.

Calling me un-Christian for what?

Reporting the truth?

Bill O'Reilly.

Well, it is a very, very intense issue and a very intense time in this country.

Let me ask one last question.

This about the shutdown.

If you listen to the press and if you read the polls, the president is really hurting badly from this shutdown.

Now there's no state of the union next week.

I don't know why he gave on that.

I don't know why he just didn't take up Ted Cruz's offer to come to the Senate or just go do something himself on that night.

How is this looking for the president?

How is he weathering this?

As soon as that happened, I was surprised.

So I call my contacts who have

been very, very close to Donald Trump.

Okay, so they say to me,

we

believe that in the long run, Nancy Pelosi refusing to allow the president to give this address is going to hurt the Democratic Party.

That's the conclusion the White House has come to.

Short run, Trump lost.

No doubt about it.

Long run, people are going to remember what a bad person Nancy Pelosi is.

They couldn't do

a venue outside the Capitol, excuse me, because the networks wouldn't cover it.

wouldn't get any coverage at all.

And even after he gave the address, say he gave a rally in Texas or Oklahoma, networks wouldn't have cover a rally either.

Okay, we've got nothing.

He could have done it, as I suggested, on the steps of the Capitol.

Yes.

Okay?

Yes.

As Abraham Lincoln U.S.

Grant did.

Yes.

Okay.

And he could have said, you know, a little cold out here.

A little cold.

I'd rather be inside because I should be inside.

But we have a fascist House of Representatives leader,

and so I'm here.

But

the State of the Union, and then he goes and gives a speech.

Yeah.

I agree with you, and I mean, I'm so close to

I mean,

I'm amazed at how close in some ways Donald Trump is to the tactics just updated for today's world

of Ronald Reagan.

And in this, I could hear him saying, Ms.

Pelosi, build this wall.

I mean, it is.

And I'm sure they use that line

somewhere down.

But

the government shut down.

Everybody wants it over.

Trump wants it over.

Everybody wants it over.

So I suspect in the next few days, they'll come to some kind of thing where the government will be opened up.

That'll probably happen.

But the war, and it is that,

goes on.

And,

you know, I'm sitting here and I'm saying, you know, the casualties of this war are the American people.

That's who's getting hurt by this unbelievable hatred that is being fostered by

the press.

I want to say again, I explain why the American media has fallen apart in a new column on billorilly.com.

Just a quick headline: 1983, 50 corporations controlled 90% of the national press.

2019, six conglomerates, six control 90% of the press.

And believe me, they're organized and they hate Trump.

And one more thing, killing ESS, number nine on the New York Times list after four months in the marketplace this coming Sunday.

What do we need to do to get it back up there, Bill?

We need to get it up to two or three.

What do we need to do?

Yeah, I mean,

it's just awareness.

It's situational awareness.

The book has got great word of mouth.

Glenn Beck, you know, one of my big promotions is Glenn Beck actually read this book.

No,

it's a great read.

What?

No, I've read it.

It's got to be great.

He can read.

I've read some of your books and most of your books, actually.

And, you know, with Patton, I have the toe tag, so I can prove that you're wrong on that one.

But on this one,

it's truly remarkable.

It's a great read.

It's one of those things you just won't put down.

If you haven't read it, Killing the SS by Bill O'Reilly, it is available now, and I'd love to see it bump back up.

Bill, thank you so much.

God bless.

All right, guys.

Talking sweet.

Thanks, Bill.

Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.com.

All right, Field of Greens.

My wife got up this morning and she made me yet another

celery shake.

Celery shake.

Wow.

It's just celery

and

coconut water, which I despise.

Did you mix in some Field of Greens in that?

Because that would have actually made it taste good.

Yeah, no, it would have.

It would have.

It would have.

This is so awful.

She's doing it because we, you know, the medical medium said she should, and it's a new book out, and we're going to have that guy on next week.

But I'm hoping that this medium sees in my future, my wife ending this nightmare.

But

I'm taking Field of Greens because I don't want to have salads anymore.

And I'm tired of my wife saying, you got to have your greens.

I had them.

Let me go to Chris in New York, who wants to weigh in on the abortion law.

Hello, Chris.

Welcome.

Hi, Glenn.

Hi.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

So

I'm just quite shocked at the

legislation that it actually passed.

The reason being is because it actually guts the penal law of the state of New York and the homicide section.

It gets rid of several sections

under manslaughter and several other sections.

And it clearly states that the whole intent behind this

In the bill, it says, therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to prevent the enforcement of laws or regulations that are not in furtherance of legitimate state interest in protecting a woman's health that burden abortion access.

So in other words, you can no longer use the penal law to enforce abortion.

In other words, where it would be questionable whether or not it was a legal practice.

Now they've moved it to the Reproductive Health Act.

which is a non-criminal act as far as I can tell from reading the bill.

Let me ask you this.

Gosnell would not have gone to jail had this law been enacted.

As far as I can tell from reading the bill, that's correct.

That's correct.

And what is even more shocking is they're just

not scared to admit that this new public health law will allow a woman all the way up until the end of her term to find a reason to abort the child.

I just very shocking, Glenberg.

Thank you very much, Chris.

I appreciate it.

You're right, it is shocking, and I hope it wakes the country up.

Not to stand is to stand.

Silence in the face of evil is evil itself, and God will not hold us guilty or guiltless.

This is the moment you must take a side.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Roger Stone,

it looks like he's going to jail.

It's interesting to me that everyone we said that Donald Trump had around him that was a bad guy, and we took heat for, we're like, no, he's not surrounding himself with the best people.

He's surrounding himself with the worst people.

All of those people are the ones that are in trouble.

And Roger Stone is probably going to see jail time on this one.

Will this affect the president?

Well, it depends on a couple of things that we won't know.

But we have some pretty good indication

that

the next guy up,

we know who he is.

The next guy to possibly see an indictment, we know who he is.

And it's not the president.

We'll give that to you as we begin this hour in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So

I have adrenal exhaustion and a whole bunch of other things that have just made my life.

You know what's weird is

Steven Crowder and I have the same thing.

Yeah.

He's going through the same thing, has the same diagnosis as I do.

Yeah.

But they haven't actually started an entire medical course named after Stephen Crowder in most hospitals.

No, they haven't.

But I feel better that that somebody else has it, and I feel for Steven Crowder.

But part of it is just because of stress.

The never stop,

never stop caring stress kind of stuff.

They've said presidents get this too, right?

Yeah.

And it's really, it's nasty.

I mean, it is really, really bad.

And

it's caused me a lot of pain.

And Stephen has caused a lot of pain.

Now, I haven't talked to Stephen.

I'm having dinner with him and his wife here

hopefully in a couple of days.

Our families are getting together.

We're going to kind of talk about some of these things.

One of the the things I'm going to recommend is Relief Factor.

You know, I tried everything else and

when you go to a doctor and he's like, no, this has gone through FDA trials and this is, you know, for some reason that means something.

Instead,

something else, you know, the FDA is watching over and you've got to, you know, be exactly right on things.

But this is 100% natural.

I don't know.

Can God's stuff really fix things?

I'm not sure.

So this 100% natural is called Relief Factor, and it works on inflammation, and it has served me very, very well.

I take it three times a day, have for the last year.

I would not recommend this to you if it didn't work for me, if I hadn't tried it, and it doesn't make a difference.

70% of the people who try it feel the same way that I do and order it month after month.

It's relief factor.com.

Go to relieffactor.com, call 1-800-500-8384.

ReliefFactor.com.

So for some reason, CNN has the greatest gut in the world.

They sent a camera crew down to Florida to stake out Roger Stone's house on the day they came to arrest him.

But the reporter on CNN, the anchor,

was clear when he said, boy, good job following your gut on that one.

That was hilarious.

I was listening to that today, and, you know, look, the obvious thing that happened here probably is someone in the FBI tipped off CNN or the local reporter that was working with CNN to go down there and go out in front of Roger Stone's house at 5 in the morning.

You don't just hang out in front of Roger Stone's house at 5 in the morning for no reason.

Well, okay, for no reason.

Okay, there you go.

Yeah, so I want to add that going on.

Okay, good.

I'm sure.

I'm sure there have been people that have hung out in front of

Roger Stone's house at 5 a.m., but they all had a reason.

We all had a reason.

We probably shouldn't get into some of those reasons.

But yes, the anchor was like, by the way, I just want to congratulate you on your instincts.

Your reporter instincts.

Of course, he was tipped off.

And I mean, that's kind of.

I don't know, Stu.

I've got a nose for news.

Yeah.

I just thought this was a good day, a good random Friday to get up at 3 a.m.

hang out at Roger Stone's house in the front yard.

with a camera.

Did you hear his excuse, though?

His excuse was, I just happened to notice a little bit of extra activity going on at the Justice Department that day.

So obviously that means Roger Stone.

Oh, yeah.

Two extra clerks walk in.

Oh, Roger Stone instantly.

Boom.

Boom.

That's incredible.

So ridiculous.

So anyway.

So anyway.

So what does this mean?

Now, we've had Jason, who is our head researcher, head writer for the program, he went over the indictment that came up after we went on the air so I'm always the guy reading the indictment I know

it's like the longer it is I pay you to read so I don't have to I get the executive brief and I love it okay so tell me what this thing said all right so if you've read this or seen this I'm gonna save you a whole lot of heartache right now because these things read like stereo instructions straight up stereo instructions you know person a to slot two to and nothing makes any sense right the biggest people that they're calling out here, they're saying organization one, which is pretty obvious, that's WikiLeaks.

They're involved, and two other people are involved with this Roger Stone indictment.

They're calling person one and person two.

Now they have to say this because you can't name U.S.

individuals or entities or anything like that.

You have to use these code words.

So person one is Jerome Corsi.

How do you know that?

So that's already been verified in other reports before that this is the person that Roger Stone has actually said, look, this is my source.

They just just can't say it in the official documents.

And there have been like full quotes reported in previous

news sources that are included in this indictment, like the exact quotes.

So in the original reporting, it has the names with it.

And then the exact same quote with person one or two is in the indictment.

So the subterfuge.

It's really obvious.

Yeah, it's kind of unnecessary, but they have to legally.

Person two is Randy Credico, which also, like what you just said, has always already been in other reporting.

Randy Credico is a

radio comedian host out of New York.

I had the same reaction because I was like, how does this guy have access to Julian Assange?

Well, the way they're kind of laying it all out is he knows the lawyer for Julian Assange.

And he was the one that...

So Credico is actually the main guy.

So Coursey is, even though he's person one, seems like kind of like backfiddle, really.

Okay.

So Credico is the main guy.

So

the actual indictment is for perjury, for lying to Congress, and for intimidating a witness, which is Credico.

Okay, so stop.

So

tell me where I have this wrong.

What happened was Roger Stone was using

back channels to communicate with WikiLeaks

and

not necessarily coordinating with them, but they were saying, hey, we've got this on Hillary Clinton.

We're going to dump this on the DNC.

We have this that's going to happen.

And they would tell one of these guys, and one of these guys would tell Roger Stone.

Now, if Roger Stone didn't know that that was a Russian group, it's just getting

intel

on another candidate, correct?

Right.

Opposition research.

Okay, so there's nothing illegal about that.

It is illegal if they knew that it was a Russian source, but I think you could make the case, bad case, but I think you could make the case

and win in a court of law that you didn't necessarily know that was Russian.

You didn't know that that was a foreign entity that was doing this.

It's not to be against the law, though, it doesn't just have to be Russia.

It has to be a foreign entity.

Everyone knows WikiLeaks is a foreign entity.

It's going to be hard to say that he didn't.

I mean, look, they wanted to do it.

Again, we've seen this several times in this storyline where they wanted to do things that could have theoretically been illegal if they had accomplished them, but didn't necessarily accomplish them.

So, but that, even this, is not why he's in trouble, in my understanding.

What he's in trouble for is he went to Congress and testified under oath and then lied to the FBI under oath that he had no contacts with these guys.

And he was not talking to WikiLeaks.

He was not talking to Jerome Coursey, and he wasn't talking to this DJ.

And so he had no information on that.

Well,

they've turned Corsi, right?

Corsi was.

I believe he did, uh, he did participate and assist the investigation in some way.

Right.

And so Corsi said, yes, I had contact with WikiLeaks, and I had contact with Roger Stone.

Now, what is the intimidation of the DJ?

So he's, so, uh, it's, and it's so blatant.

Like, it's when you, when you read through it, Roger Stone definitely communicated with these people.

It got so, like, blatant.

Like, he's like, when is it dropping?

Like, tell, like, ask your person in London, which is Assange, exactly when these things are dropping.

And at one point, he actually says, there's going to be a dump every week, you know, following the main.

I mean, so they knew he's caught red-handed.

The intimidation was after the fact when they're starting to get in trouble.

And Stone is telling Creditco, do not talk to, you know, the FBI.

Do not testify.

He's like, you're stupid if you testify.

You know, if you testify, my lawyers are coming after you.

Like, that was one of the intimidation.

It goes so far as he actually says, I will come and get your dog if you testify.

I mean, it's so blatant.

And this is not unusual for Roger Stone.

This is why when Donald Trump, you know, had the advisor of Roger Stone, we immediately said,

stop, stop.

Roger Stone is not a good guy.

And they did separately.

He's a Nixon guy.

They separated early in the campaign, if you remember, right?

But they were still working together in a distant sort of way.

And Roger Stone is a known, complete liar.

The guy says stuff all the time, in my opinion, that are complete lies.

You cannot trust a word this man says.

And you know what his defense is going to be on this whole situation?

I'm a liar, and you can't trust a word that I say.

He's gone on television and said, look, I'm a hype man.

That's his way of saying I say things all the time that I know aren't true.

So he's going to say, I think, claim, look, I knew these things were coming and I was trying to look more important to the Trump administration.

I was trying to say, I'm the man.

I've got all this stuff from WikiLeaks.

I'm awesome.

You should listen to me.

In reality, he had very little.

At least that's going to be, I think, his defense.

Well, I don't see how he has a defense at all because he's caught lying to Congress.

And that part is like, I'm not.

You can't get out of that.

Intimidating the witness, you cannot get out of it.

He's going to prison.

I don't see there's any way out of this.

It's amazing he hasn't been in prison this whole time.

No, it is.

Tyler has been on the verge of prison for 40 years.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, you're Nixon.

His tattoo on his back is Nixon.

He's the original dirty trickster under Nixon.

He is unrepentant for anything that they ever did.

He is the worst of the worst in politics.

And he pretty much admits it.

Okay, so...

What does this mean for the president?

He's probably going to jail.

Now, what does this mean other than Donald Trump picks some really bad people to be around him?

There's nothing at this point to connect him to Donald Trump.

There's nothing on collusion or anything else.

However,

the next guy probably to drop now will be Steve Bannon.

Because Steve Bannon and Stone were very close.

And if Steve Bannon has testified that I had no idea about Roger Stone, I had no idea about WikiLeaks.

And if they have evidence that

he did,

Bannon will be the next to go.

And that's also in the indictment.

You can kind of see the chain of other indictments that might happen.

So they've already showed that Stone was in communication with these people to get this information.

They knew about it.

Another unnamed person in this indictment is what they're calling a senior campaign staff member.

And that's Bannon.

It's Bannon.

The reason we know it's Bannon is because they lay out everything that was said in the indictment between Stone and this person.

And that email has already been dropped.

It's all over the place.

It's in the New York Times today, word for word.

But in the New York Times version, it's got Steve Bannon's name in the to and from

subject line.

So

here's the problem for Donald Trump.

If he has testified and said he didn't know, that's going to be a real issue.

And I'll explain why here in just a second.

Give me one minute and then we'll come back.

All right, simply safe simply safe is going to protect your family they are going to protect your home they're going to protect what's in your home if there is a fire it will call the fire department a break-in it will not only call the police but it will take a high-res shot of that face no more blurry pictures who did this that guy

it's amazing what this service does that the the technology is beyond anything that you have in your home now and the way they do business is really the the new way to do business.

They don't trap you into a long-term contract where you're paying 30, 50, 60 bucks a month for security.

There is no contract.

You can cancel at any time, and you're only paying $14.99 a month.

It's not a marriage.

You shouldn't have to commit your entire life when you get an alarm system.

And when you get a divorce from that alarm company, then you have to go and marry another alarm company who has to bring in all of their stuff and drill holes in your house.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

Get a divorce and just start sleeping together.

I can't believe I'm saying that.

That's probably not a good slogan for simply.

Anyway, simply safe.

Go to simply safe.com.

Simply safebeck.com.

You'll save 10% on your system and it's $14.99 a month.

It's simply safebeck.com.

Pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

That was

remind me not to

use that again.

Okay,

so

here's going to be a sticking point for Donald Trump.

Donald Trump,

this may come back to haunt him because

we know that Bannon was very, very close to Donald Trump.

We know that Bannon is a guy who likes to play the heavy, and you know he had a big mouth, and you know

he was telling Donald Trump, let me tell you else, what else we got?

We got this coming and this coming.

If Donald Trump said, yeah, I knew that.

I knew that, you know, Stone was talking and Bannon were talking, and Bannon would come to me and say, hey, I have this on WikiLeaks.

I didn't ask any questions.

That's not going to be as bad as if he said,

nope, he didn't talk to me about it.

I have nothing about this at all.

If they have the evidence,

that's going to be bad because that is perjury.

Now we have perjury a couple of times really here so far.

If

they have Bannon and they have a link, here's the problem.

Now this is a leap, but it's not a far leap.

The problem with this is that Donald Trump gave one of the most bizarre press conferences I'd ever seen.

And I remember thinking,

what is this?

When he gave the press conference and said, you know, WikiLeaks, just keep it up.

And by the way, we're going to have some more information about Hillary Clinton in the next couple of days.

There's be some real information coming out on her.

How do what?

Where did that come from?

We know that's the WikiLeaks tip.

Now, did you just say that because Bannon said, I got something I can't say anything, but just trust me on this, just go out and say this?

Or was he informed?

Again, not a problem if he was informed, a problem if he said he wasn't informed to the FBI.

That seems about right.

I mean, I think he's

you have to believe that people around the president, even if he did know, I mean, because I think all presidents like trade in these sort of dark worlds and stuff happens all the time.

When you have competent people around you, they protect you from these things, right?

That's what their job is, to make sure that there isn't an email that says exactly that.

The problem is, he had people like Roger Stone and Michael Cohen around him.

And so we're already seeing these things kind of get pushed out into the media.

You know, none of these people are trustworthy, and that's the best defense, honestly, with

Bannon.

I mean, think about this, Glenn.

You know, look, Donald Trump has exceeded my expectations in many ways.

I mean, I did not have high hopes.

Nope.

And but there's been a lot of things he's done and I've done well, and we've given him a lot of credit for those things.

And just

standing for the border.

I never, never would have expected him to do what he's doing right now.

And hats off to him.

There's been a good collection of these things and we've talked about him ad nauseum.

Right.

In fact, literally hats off to him.

Everybody should take off your hat because you're an enemy of the state according to the press if you're wearing that hat.

But one of the reasons

we had some issues with the potential Trump presidency is the people he surrounded him with.

And I remember we made a list back in the day.

I was trying to remember all of the names on it, but listen to some of these names and tell me if these were problems.

Steve Bannon.

Yep.

Right?

Trump's already fired him.

They have no relationship.

And now it looks like he potentially could be the next one to be indicted.

Roger Stone, arrested today.

Michael Flynn,

big problem there.

Amarosa.

I mean, she went out and tell-all book and recording him secretly and all those things.

Yep.

Paul Manafort?

Yep.

Was he a problem at all?

Michael Cohen?

Was he an issue?

I mean, there is an issue here that imagine how much better this presidency could have been if he had had people around him who were just good competent people.

You remember,

I became a George Bush fan when he, I think, announced in North Carolina who he was going to put on his staff.

And he had Colin Powell and Dick Cheney and all of these people, Rumsfeld and all these people that were just rock solid.

The big problem that I had was that the people surrounding Donald Trump were horrible.

And if you go back to this show about a year ago, once, I don't remember who the really last bad guy was to leave, it might have been Bannon.

I said, well,

he's got rid of all the bad people.

Now there's some good people there.

So now I'm not so concerned because the good people are there now.

This, that was important.

This is just cleanup of the bad people that he had around him during the election.

I don't think about

when you, you back to your point to where how you thought that maybe they were protecting him.

Maybe he didn't know about it.

But really, do you think they even saw anything bad about this at that time?

There was no concrete Russian connection to WikiLeaks at the time.

No, they were, and they all kind of play the same kind of game.

All of these guys, Roger Stone, Bannon, they all deal in this dark kind of world.

And

Donald Trump, I don't think at the time, was used to dealing with, you're the president of the United States.

He thought he had taken heat before, but I don't think anybody could have foreseen the heat that he's taking now in his position.

He thought, I can handle it.

And so he was used to dealing with people like Michael Cohen.

Now, the bad thing is, is all of these people that were around him are not the kind of patriots that protect the president.

They're the kind of people that want the praise.

They want the position.

Protect themselves.

They protect themselves.

So they were all jockeying for position around him.

So they were incentivized in their heads to tell him even stuff that possibly they didn't have or wasn't true because they wanted to be the golden child.

And that's who they, the kind of people he had around him.

And I think it's interesting.

The media has been looking for another like Watergate or another Pentagon Papers.

And I think they actually, people around Trump thought that he was another Daniel Ellsberg as an Assange.

I think they thought who that was.

was.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

On Saturdays, we have a special show that is podcast only,

and it is one of my favorite shows of the week.

It is a one-on-one with somebody who is

quite remarkable.

And it's usually they run from an hour to 90 minutes.

And they are remarkable people with a remarkable thing to say.

And it's uninterrupted.

And it's just a conversation between me.

And this week, it's

Professor Carol Swain.

Yeah.

The thing I like about these conversations, too, is

you basically just talk until you're done.

There's no restrictions on time.

There's no restrictions on where you can go.

You don't have to stop for commercials every five seconds.

It's just a nice conversation that can go really deep.

Carol Swain is a pretty amazing person.

She is African-American, a female professor.

Grew up unbelievably poor.

Like, I mean, you know, end of roots kind of poor, you know, if you're old enough to remember roots,

where you're living in a shack and there's no electricity.

And

everybody in her family didn't make it past the eighth grade.

And she ends up being a professor at Yale.

Was it Princeton?

There are like three of them.

Yeah.

All Ivy League schools.

And one of the great conservative minds, I really put her in the same category as Thomas Sowell in a way.

Well, it's funny.

She brought Thomas Sowell up as someone she admired and Walter Williams as someone she admired.

I mean, like when you're talking about, it's that's those two things are not normally said by an African-American professor at an Ivy League school.

And she's, and she's somebody that really was,

well, she didn't really know, but she was on the left because that's what we do.

We're on the left.

And, you know, I'm going to college now, and it must be the state that's so great.

And she had a turning point, and in it, in the podcast, she talks about how her turning point came came with

a very rare, almost endangered species today

at a university.

I think that America

is and has always been a land of tremendous opportunity.

And what makes me different from a lot of the young people that I see and maybe some of the older people is that I lived, I guess, so isolated that I didn't get all those messages that the world was stacked against me because of my color or because of my race or because of my poverty.

I always believed that if I worked hard enough, I could be successful.

And when I started Ronald College, my

advisor,

his name is Dr.

Charles Hill,

was a conservative.

And the

black students met me.

They immediately gave me the list of all the racist professors not to take.

Dr.

Hill was on the list of professors not to take because they were racist.

But I've always done the opposite of what everyone else did.

And so, my attitude was, yeah, I'll show him.

So, I signed up for his class,

met a B plus in the first class.

He told me I almost met an A.

Internally, I thought, Yeah, he just didn't want to give me an A the first time.

I took several classes with him, and he was conservative.

So, I read

Thomas Sowle,

Glenn Lowry,

Edward Banfield,

Milton Friedman.

I was exposed to conservative thought.

And I don't know if I would have

been Marxist had I been exposed to Marxist thought.

But it turned out I ended up with a professor that was conservative.

And I remember him telling me at some point, he said, you know, you're a Republican, don't you?

And, you know, like, no.

You know, it took me 40 years later to become one.

But

I think that that it mattered, you know, that to be exposed to the ideas that I was exposed to.

But I had something going in because I had that attitude is whatever someone told me I couldn't do, I was going to show them I could.

She's remarkable, and you don't want to miss this.

This is one you could listen to with your kids because her story from the beginning is just, I mean, it's a movie.

It really is a movie.

She doesn't complain about her life.

She has gone under attack like nobody's business

because she came out and said, I'm a conservative and I'm a Republican.

And she won award, the list of awards that she got from

the academy, all of the things that the universities bestowed upon her.

And then she said, oh, by the way, I'm a conservative.

And

no one wanted anything to do with her.

She's the exact person the left doesn't want you to meet.

Yes.

Right?

That is exactly the type of person they don't want you exposed to.

Yep.

And you will love her.

You will love her.

All right, Zip Recruiter.

Hiring can be very, very time-consuming.

I mean, unless you don't care, care, and then you end up with people like Stu.

You know, Stu was like an intern, and I just grabbed him, and I'm like, you

want to be a producer?

Happened to be in the room.

Yep, happened to be in the room.

That happens.

That happens.

And you see how that turned out 20 years later.

Not well for you.

So you don't want that to happen to you.

So get Zip Recruiter.

Now I would just go into Zip Recruiter and I would say, this is the kind of person I'm looking for.

They need to have these kinds of skills and this is our culture.

And ZipRecruiter would have somebody for me almost as fast.

I mean, most employers get somebody they could hire within the first hour after posting.

So you've got somebody you can just pull from the room like Stu, who it's not going to work out.

Nope.

The Glenn Beck program filed for a Freedom of Information Act for

the Indian that was staring down the Covington

student, Nathaniel Phillips.

His actual name is Nathaniel Richard Stannard.

And we know that he was a Vietnam-era veteran, and he was a Marine, and he talked about how he learned in the Marine the faces of hate that would kill you.

We brought Jason back in because he is a Marine, and I've got a couple of questions on this service record.

First of all,

dates of service, May 1972 to

August 76.

He was discharged.

It doesn't say honorably discharged.

Does it usually say honorably discharged?

All the time.

Like, discharge is very general.

Like, there's, there's multiple types.

There's other, other discharged under other than honorable situations, honorable, dishonorable, medical.

Okay.

But it's just

like

he just left.

It's either a mistake or I don't know why.

I just left.

He was left as a private.

Don't you come in as a private in boot camp?

Yes.

So if

you were in the service for four years and you're still a private, that says something about you, doesn't it?

You're basically automatically guaranteed at least one promotion.

So that means that you were either really, really bad at what you were doing or you were getting in trouble and that you were getting busted down.

Okay,

there's a couple of things.

He does have a decoration of an expert rifle badge, but the Marines that I know, most of you have the expert rifle badge.

Yeah, well, that's that's not a commendation.

You have to qualify, right?

Expert is just the best you can get.

Then there's two other underneath it.

That just means you were proficient in shooting.

Right, it's not a commendation.

Every single person I know that's in Marines has that.

Yeah.

The military education and what he did

as a job was a refrigerator electrician.

And that's where, I think there's a special class in refrigerator mechanic school where you learn what it looks like when you stare your enemy down and how he looks like he's getting nervous and

that's common training in refrigerator maintenance.

Well, because I will say, I don't want to demean, a lot of people go over and do.

I have a cousin who went and he did medical things.

It doesn't mean everybody is on the front lines doing all the hero stuff.

But as your friend, it's still really important.

However,

when you originally, look, it's important.

You need a refrigerator, right?

When you're

afraid of it, scores, score, scores.

However, you don't say that you were staring down the enemy.

I saw the faces of these kids when I was in the Vietnam era.

What are you talking about?

That's got nothing to do with repairing refrigerators.

In Omaha, Nebraska.

It's absurd.

And we know he was lying because of his descriptions of his service.

Okay, so he was a rifleman, a rifleman for two days, it appears, and then he was transferred to Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, and made a refrigerator mechanic.

Why would you be assigned rifleman duty and then two days later be reassigned?

So that was not in his record.

That's something that's in his personal record, but there was someone that commented, I think, to the New York Times, an official with this records office, that said that he was assigned as like an infantry

unit at first.

Yes.

But then, because of disciplinary reasons, he was then taken out of that and then put into a refrigerator mechanic.

Which brings me to this.

Transcript of

court-martial trial.

What does your discharge say under that?

None?

Yeah, I've never looked at that, but yeah, it must have said none.

I don't know.

Okay.

Because this is not on file, which leads me to the last page.

He went AWOL three separate times.

So he was court-martialed.

Three times?

Yeah, court-martial, most people think that means court-martial means kicked out.

Court-martial is just when you have to go because you did something wrong and you have to stand in front of a judge and say, like say you've had drugs on you and they caught you, you'd be court-martialed for that.

If you went AWOL, you would be court-martialed.

And AWOL is a bad offense.

Yeah, one of the worst things that you can do in the U.S.

military is just not show up or leave.

So he did this

three times towards the end of his service.

And that's significant also because he was called up for active.

He never had AWOLs when he was a reservist.

So he showed up for his monthly duties, which you can also see in the record but when he was called to active service uh he was in kansas i believe then had to go to uh san diego el toro base when he showed up for active duty in el toro that's when all these uh awalls happened in a span of just like a couple months it was bam bam bam bam bam

uh

i i feel in a way stolen valor with this guy yeah Because he has been made into, and he even, you know, he doesn't say that he was a hero.

He doesn't say say he fought in the Vietnam War.

He has said it before, though, and he's described his service as, you know,

I saw the faces when I got home.

He keeps using phrasing like that.

Ridiculous.

I mean, he really was trying to stretch it at times during his life.

He's now trying to say, well, I never said I fought there.

And he never maybe said those exact words, but he talked about the experience of fighting in Vietnam as if he was there.

Stu, you asked me a question off air.

Could you ask it to me now?

Because I think it's very relevant to this.

My only concern with this was I don't necessarily like the idea that a random media organization or a random person can make an FOIA request to get records from someone's private military service, a private citizen's military service, really for any reason.

And we were able to do that very easily to get these records.

And it makes me worry about...

you know, whether that is, that should be publicly available to people.

I mean, it's part of your life, and I don't know that, you know, some random schmo like you should be able to just get access to it.

And I totally understand that.

And coming from a libertarian mindset, privacy is high up on my priority list.

But stolen valor is so rampant nowadays.

And for this specific reason, because of this system, we were able to find out.

Like the mainstream media didn't find out.

It took people like us to do this, which is

if you didn't have a FOIA on this and he knew it,

what could he have claimed?

I don't want to go into future crimes or anything like that, but I think a guy who doesn't have a problem lying as he did

wouldn't have a problem of saying I shed blood for this country, stuff like that.

I mean, but you need things.

I think it should be easier.

I think it should be a database that anyone can access to get this type of information.

All right.

Thank you very much, Jason.

There's two stories that I haven't gotten to today.

One of them is the school shooting that happened last week that nobody covered.

I'm going to get into that next week because there's a lot to say on that.

So I'll do that on Monday.

Because I want to respond to a letter that came in from Claire

Eskdale.

She wrote, I'm writing to you from a small town, upstate New York.

Yesterday, our little town found out that we had lost a member of our tribe to the attacks in Syria by a suicide bomber.

One of the 19 victims was a daughter, mother, sister, a friend, a member of the community, neighbor to her new community, and a wife.

Her name was Shannon Kent.

She was serving her last tour in Syria.

I saw her mom recently at the grocery store.

We were hoping for an early return due to news of the withdrawal of the U.S.

forces from the region.

Sadly, yesterday her family received word that she was among those that were targeted in the attack.

We were all devastated, but most concern is for her husband and the two young sons.

Shannon's two children are now left without their mother, and she is separated from them.

Shannon comes from a family of service.

Her father is a high-ranking officer with the New York State Police.

Mom was a teacher that worked within the local school system.

Her brother was a marine.

She chose a partner and a father to her children, who also knew what service is and was.

Each time I spoke with her, I always thanked them both.

Now there's a gold star family here within our own little town within our family.

I heard your broadcast yesterday, and I just wanted to ask if there was any way you could establish a scholarship for each of her children for college.

I realize this is a lot to ask for.

I do it myself, but I have three children of my own.

Shannon was one of my best friends since elementary school.

She was the voice of reason among our group of friends.

She was the one I would call when I needed advice or a good laugh.

She was brilliant and kind, truly beautiful woman.

And now she's a memory that we all carry around.

I beg you to consider giving her children an opportunity to continue her legacy.

Claire, I want you to know we are going to do that.

Thank you for your letter.

We are establishing something for all of the families that were affected in that blast in Syria.

But we are adding her name and scholarships to that.

I spoke to Mercury One, and

somebody should be reaching out to you today to make sure that you know that

we have your friends back.

We have

her families back and your communities back.

Thank you so much for the letter and reminding us of of the amazing people that serve us every single day.

And thank you, Mercury One.

If you'd like to get involved and donate, you can go.

And every dollar that you say I wanted to go just to military families, every dime of that dollar goes to military families at mercury1.org.
