10/26/18 - 'Refusing to Leave the Bubble'?/ Guest, Bill O'Reilly

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Glenn back.

Yesterday,

the day after the pipe bomb started showing up in mailboxes of several Democrats, President Trump took to the

modern-day era bully platform known as Twitter to call out,

you know, those people he believes is responsible for all the anger we're seeing, he quoted.

A very big part of the anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the mainstream media that I refer to as fake news.

How could you possibly deny that unless you are a member of the mainstream media and never talk to anybody in the middle of the country?

The middle of the country feels as though we have been laughed at, mocked, dismissed, called killers, called

racists, called terrorists.

We have had enough.

So unless,

you know, unless you're just somebody living in this bubble, which the media is, and refuses to get out and actually talk to people with a different opinion,

you don't see it.

He says it's gotten so bad and hateful that it's beyond description.

Mainstream media must clean up its act fast.

Well, the media responded, of course, by turning the finger back around on the president.

Let me just say this to the media.

President Trump is a response to you.

President Trump would not have been president 10 years ago.

He is a response to the way you handled half of the country.

Around 200 journalists organized by former ABC News producer Meredith Wheeler co-signed a letter blaming the White House for what they called, quote, cordoning of political, or condoning of political violence.

Really?

This echoes the statement of CNN's Jeff Zucker, who more or less said the exact same thing following Wednesday's pipe bomb scare.

You know what, Meredith Wheeler?

You might have a point if you haven't spent the last 10 years dismissing the violence of Occupy Wall Street, dismissing the violence of everybody on the left, dismissing the violence of Antifa, and during all of this with the pipe bombs, going back to, what was it, 1968?

Going back to the 1960s and showing, look, this is is where they blew up an abortion clinic, and failing to mention that there was a Bernie Sanders guy that tried to kill 20 of our Republican congressmen just a year ago.

Do you think, maybe,

do you think, maybe

there's slightly a point here?

I'm going to do the unthinkable.

I'm going to place the blame on all of us.

On all of us.

What do you say we just start behaving differently?

What do you say?

We all say, I don't like this.

I don't want to live like this.

I don't want my country like this.

The president is absolutely the victim of attacks by the media.

There is no question.

The mainstream media has been painfully obvious that they are not fans of Donald Trump.

On many occasions, the attacks that they have

have been

hitting him with and then silently retracting

are false.

But also, the media has been under attack by the White House for a very long time.

It's not an issue with just the current administration, and stop making it one.

President Obama was historically a nightmare for the free press, and you refuse to say anything about it.

The crazy thing is, today,

the craziest thing is, is that the media gleefully gave Obama a pass, even though he was weaponizing the FBI and the DOJ against the press.

Donald Trump has gone so far as just calling them fake news, and they've got their feelings hurt.

Forget about the, oh, I don't know, threatening to throw us all in jail.

This president is calling us fake news.

Yeah,

well, he kind of has a point.

Just if you even look at how President Obama treated the press compared to you,

President Obama was putting you people in jail.

He was weaponizing the government against you, and you failed to stand up and say anything.

As the media was gearing up for its outrage over being called fake,

the New York Times was publishing an article on the very same day these pipe bomb packages were delivered.

Now, I want you to remember this.

I just want you to just put this in your pipe and smoke it for a little bit.

They're being called fake news.

They're being called liars.

They're saying, no, no, no, no, no.

We're not.

We don't publish fake news.

We don't have anything against the president.

It's not a vendetta.

And while this is happening, the New York Times is printing an article titled, Five Novelists, Imagine Trump's Next Chapter.

Five Novelists Imagine Trump's Next Chapter.

The main image at the top of this story shows the White House on fire and sinking into the ground as President Trump waves goodbye.

Each novelist had one assignment.

Write out what you think happens after the Mueller investigation is completed.

Okay?

So let's come up, let's go to fiction writers and come up with what they think is going to happen with Mueller's investigation and what's going to happen immediately after.

And you mock me?

You mock me.

Every single one, this is going to come as a surprise.

They found five fiction writers who were going to do it, but every single one wrote a short story depicting a scenario where the president was found guilty.

Every single one.

Isn't that that amazing?

They couldn't find one fiction writer to write something where Trump was not guilty.

It's crazy.

One story had Trump signing the 25th Amendment,

and another even had him being assassinated by a Russian agent with the help of Secret Service.

Yeah.

No, no, we can write about the president being assassinated.

We're not advocating violence.

No, no, no.

What's in that?

What are you?

What are you talking about?

Are you kidding me?

No,

that was about the Russians.

That wasn't about a coup.

Yes, yes.

Okay, Secret Service was involved, but that's not about a coup.

This is the New York Times.

You know, the ones who are leading the way saying, oh my gosh, the talk of violence is so horrible.

Oh my gosh.

And we don't print fake news.

You're supposed to be investigators.

You're supposed to be neutral.

I thought that was the idea.

Let's be neutral.

Now, I understand that everybody has an opinion, but five writers and no one can come up with anything other than the guy is guilty and maybe he's going to be killed by the Secret Service.

This is unbelievable.

How is it that 200 journalists can sign a letter claiming that everything is the president's fault when the flagship of the American media is writing this bull crap while the pipe bombs are coming in.

This Times piece, Exhibit A for why journalism is currently dead in America.

It is dead in America.

All of you dancing on the grave of Megan Kelly,

really,

what was her big sin?

She asked a question.

Oh my gosh, lock her in a tower.

Oh my gosh, she's got to be chased out of the public square.

You can't ask a question.

Don't you dare ask a question.

This is frightening America.

Fact-finding is gone.

The media has already made up their mind.

They know the answer.

And if you disagree, they will chase you out of the public square.

They have no inclination to actually even attempt to find the truth.

Even attempt to understand.

Yes, there's a little righteous indignation in me.

It's not anger.

It is, it is righteous indignation because I have called these people.

I have talked to these people.

I have gone to them over and over again with hat in hand and said, listen, you need to understand how half the country feels.

Just have a conversation.

You're making a huge error.

And yes, I made all these errors.

Oh my gosh, I'm the worst person in the world.

I'm with you.

Just listen to me, please.

You have to hear what half the country is saying.

They won't do it.

They're not interested.

They don't care.

And now they're quite literally making it up.

What's the difference between a novelist and a New York Times journalist?

I don't know.

Media,

this is a radical concept.

And I know you like radicals.

You love radicals.

You, you, there's nothing wrong with being radicals.

It's not a mob.

No, no, no.

Those are, those are just people that feel passionately.

So I know you love radicals.

But here's a radical idea.

If you don't want to be called fake,

you might want to just start with literally

stopping publishing fiction.

It's Friday, October 26th.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Self-awareness seems to be dead at this point.

In the media in particular, Glenn.

Let me give you this one.

What is the one thing that if you're a conservative, Trump makes these

criticisms of the media?

They say, hey, it's fake news.

Hey, these guys are lying.

Hey, they're the enemy of the people.

And they say, that's the same as violence.

You're creating violence and coming after us, right?

I can't go there yet.

I can't.

I can't.

I got to take a break.

I can't go there yet.

I can't.

I know where you're going.

And boy, does it need to be said?

I can't do it yet.

Can't.

I can't.

You need to

do it.

A stiff drink?

Is that where we are now?

We think that's it.

Again, I've been telling you for years, we can get to your alcohol.

If we can can reignite that, it's going to be a good ratings boost.

And can I tell you something?

The blackouts, I need the blackouts right now.

I need them so desperately.

It would be so great.

I forgot about everything that they said that was so stupid yesterday.

I don't even recall it at all.

I love that idea.

I need to take a break.

First, let me tell you about Car Shield.

Car Shield is

going to save you.

from a lot of trouble.

They're going to save you from taking your car in and

you've got something wrong with it or even an oil change and then it comes out and they're like, I got some bad news for you.

We found some extra stuff and it's going to cost.

And you're like, what?

Look, these are surprises that nobody wants and everybody gets.

But if you have car shield, you don't have to worry about it.

If your car breaks down after the warranty expires, you could be out of pocket for thousands of dollars just to get it fixed.

But if you have car shield, chances are you're not going to have to come out of pocket for anything.

Now, if you want to take your car in to your favorite mechanic or the dealership, usually people go to the dealership.

I mean, let me put it this way.

Why do you avoid the dealership after your warranty expires?

You avoid it because you can maybe get it done cheaper by your favorite mechanic, and maybe he's not using the same parts or whatever.

You can have it fixed by the dealership.

When your warranty expires, if you have car shield, no problem.

Because they pay for it.

They pay them, not you.

So you don't have to go and write a check and be out of pocket.

They do it.

CarShield, save yourself thousands of dollars in car repairs in the future because it's going to happen.

It happens to all of us.

Call Car Shield right now: 1-800-CAR6100.

1-800-CAR6100.

Mention the promo code Beck.

You'll save an extra 10%.

Remember, it's promo code Beck at CarShield.com.

CarShield.com, promo code Beck.

Deductibles may apply.

Okay.

There have been two other suspicious packages.

One of them is addressed to James Clapper.

The other one, I think, is to Corey Booker.

What's amazing is that none of these have gone off.

None.

We're so lucky.

We're just lucky.

We are.

We are.

Boy,

this Trump supporter, this conservative boy, oh boy, he's a moron.

Luckily, Luckily, he's just a bad luckily, bombardment.

Luckily.

Can we check what the New York Times is saying about this?

We can.

Now, there's, of course, we all know.

We all know.

Let's rush to judgment.

Kavanaugh was, of course, a gang rapist, and these bombs are clearly Donald Trump's fault.

Okay, here's the New York Times.

None of the devices harmed anyone, and it was not immediately clear whether any of them could have.

Wait.

No, these are pipe bombs.

These are very dangerous.

Yeah.

I mean, in fact, it shows a level of sophistication.

That's what I heard from CNN.

These pipe bombs show a level of sophistication.

What's the New York Times say now?

One law enforcement official said investigators were examining the possibility that they were hoax devices that were constructed to look like bombs but would not have exploded.

Wow.

Now,

you may have read this story from the New York Times.

And you may have said, well, they never gave us really any details on that.

Well, you probably didn't get to paragraph 34.

That's where you're going to see.

But you can see that.

I like.

You know how Jewish people read from

right to left.

We read left to right.

Okay.

I, with the New York Times, it's like reading a foreign language.

I like to read bottom up.

There's a lot of good stuff towards the bottom.

Yeah, when you get to the bottom, you start with the bottom.

It's funny because usually the headline doesn't match.

Some bomb technicians who studied photos of the device that circulated on social media suggested the bomb sent to CNN had the hallmarks of fake explosives, the kind more typically depicted on television and in movies rather than devices capable of detonating.

Almost like a wily coyote kind of bomb.

Almost.

A digital clock was taped to the middle of the pipe, a feature that experts say is typically shown on fictional bombs in an attempt to ratchet up dramatic tension,

but unnecessary in real life.

Unnecessary.

In fact,

in fact, they go go on the New York Times.

In fact, bomb makers generally avoid attaching visible clocks to their devices

to keep from tipping off their targets

about when the bombs are set to explode.

I thought it was just like a nice little clock they were sending to these people for their desk.

That's what I thought.

You look at that and you're like, that's not a bomb.

Here's a bonus if you survive.

That's all it is.

That's it.

You got a nice alarm ball.

You know what?

100% survivability so far on these bombs.

100% survivability.

Isn't that weird?

It is weird.

Now, look, could it be a.

I think here's a plausible scenario: that someone on the right did this, okay?

Someone on the right who really does not like all these figures decided that they wanted to send a message to all these figures, but aren't actually a murderer.

They wanted to scare the hell out of them, but they didn't actually want to kill somebody.

I think that is a plausible scenario.

You want to know what you could be doing to this country?

Let me show you it.

And they're crazy.

They were wrong.

Totally horrible.

Despicable.

But they weren't murderers.

And so they built this to look like a bomb.

If you look on, I mean, you get this example of this on social media all the time.

I mean, if we counted all of the death threats and horrible things that you get on social media as real all the time, you'd have to have a staff of a thousand checking them all out.

Instead, you know, most of the time, people say crap on social media that goes way too far and that they don't actually intend on doing.

They don't intend on, you know, you saw the stuff that happened to, for example, Dana Lash, right?

Like, had to take all those things seriously when she was on TV.

She got all sorts of threats on her family, and they did take them seriously.

But, like, as far as I know, at least, no one actually acted on those things, thank God, right?

So, you have these serious threats that come into public figures often, and sometimes they don't wind up panning out most of the time, right?

Even you go to look at terrorists.

I mean, the amount of people in the Middle East who say that they would execute a terrorist attack on people who are, on people from another country, for example, the United States, is so high, it's incredibly disturbing.

You almost would never walk outside if you realize how many millions of people will tell pollsters that, yes, I would kill American citizens.

However, obviously, they're not all doing it, right?

Whether it's because they're not capable of doing it, or whether they're in reality, they just want to send a message or they really don't like them, but I'm not going to go kill someone, whatever the reason is.

And that could be the situation here.

Could be the same thing from someone on the left who wants to make the right look bad a week before the election, sending these things around with no intention of killing anyone, but wants to make a big media circus.

These things are all plausible possibilities.

We have no reason to know that other than the fact that these were all political figures and none of the bombs seemed to work.

That's all the information we have right now.

Well, but I know that's that's pretty much all the information they had on the Reichstag fire.

And I don't know about you, but I think the Germans behaved admirably.

I think the Germans did exactly the.

Go with you on that one.

No.

No, but it's the Reichstag.

The communists did that, right?

Glenn Beck.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Bill O'Reilly joins us in about half an hour from now.

Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed, heard every day

just prior to this program on the Blaze Radio and Television Network.

And you can sign up for his podcast,

really great podcast, lots of laughs and lots of insight.

Pat Gray Unleashed, wherever you get your podcast.

Pat,

should we talk a little bit about

Megan Kelly?

Yes, and the heinous, horrific crimes she committed.

I'm surprised.

Why is she still walking around in this society?

Sincerely.

Has she been imprisoned yet?

I don't think so, and she needs to be.

She's dangerous.

Well, she has, you know, she has violated something that NBC feels passionately about.

They do.

Well, they started to.

They didn't feel that passionately about it when Jimmy Fallon dressed up in Blackface as Chris Rock.

Wait, what?

Yeah, he dressed up and imitated Chris Rock.

Yeah, but on what network, though?

Well, that was on CBC.

Oh, it was NBC.

NBC.

Wait, that's the same network

that Megan Kelly worked for.

And she just said, dress up in Blackface.

No, no, no.

She said it might be okay for Halloween.

If you are not making fun of someone, right?

So he wasn't making fun of them.

Well, he was, he was kind of making fun of Chris.

He was, yeah, he was imitating him.

Uh, you know, it's even more egregious than that, though.

And it's, it's, it's despicable that we have to play this game, and it's okay for all of them.

Uh, the Jimmy Kimmel thing with

imitating Carl Malone.

Do we have that audio yet, Sarah?

My God,

that one is egregious.

Oh, we haven't.

Listen, this is Jimmy Kimmel in Blackface.

Sometime at night, Carl Malone looks up in the sky and say, what the hell is going on up there?

Do UFO live on another planet, phoning home like E.T.?

Wow.

Carl Malone read on TV about white people getting deducted by aliens, sticking all kinds of hell up their butt.

And that's a damn thing.

Now, Carl Malone never seen no flying saucer himself, but if he do, that's going to be a spooky time.

That's why Carl Malone says government got to.

that's hang on.

That's Jimmy Kimmel.

It's unbelievable.

It's unbelievable.

We talked about.

You imagine even

talking that way.

No.

Without Blackface.

Just talking that way.

It would be our last day on

the back of the game.

We talked

of a couple of different examples of blackface being used in comedy fairly recently.

It's always Sunny in Philadelphia was one of the examples we brought up.

And it's always Sunny in Philadelphia.

They did it, and they did it as for a, they were making a a point, right?

Like that only these moronic characters on this show would think that that's an appropriate thing.

This Jimmy Kimmel bit is just saying, hey, I'm black and I'm Carl Malone.

It's just him mocking a black person and mocking the way he

can't speak.

The only thing that's funny about that is the way he speaks.

Yeah.

That's it.

I mean, play that again.

Tell me the joke in here other than the way he's speaking.

What was it?

Ebonics.

Isn't that what they used to to call?

Yeah, and in the third person.

That's the only other thing he's doing.

Right.

Now listen to this.

Tell me the joke.

Just sometime at night, Carl Malone will look up in the sky and say, What the hell is going on up there?

No joke.

UFO limb on another planet, phoning home like E.T.

Carl Malone read on TV about white people getting deducted by aliens, sticking all kinds of hell up their butt.

And that's a damn thing.

Stop.

Now, there's not a single joke there.

No, no, no, no, no, referring as Carl Malone always did,

not always, but often did, referring to himself in third person.

And it's a random topic.

That's the only other part of that.

It's a joke.

And he's in Blackface, right?

Like, that's unbelievable.

That's the gig.

And again,

and the Jamie Fallon one works because Jimmy Fallon is not a political enemy.

Kimmel has put himself in as a political commentator, so it's really egregious for him.

But Fallon, who is, I think, there's no ill intent by Jimmy Fallon doing that bit.

He's friends with Chris Rock, right?

But the issue here is it's on freaking nbc yeah you can you're gonna fire me kelly for mentioning it but you're gonna let jimmy you're gonna give jimmy fallon the top uh place in your network so what she said was

wait but if you are if you are holding somebody up if you're if you're making fun of them okay but if you're holding somebody up like this woman who you know with diana ross she liked diana ross she wanted to look like diana ross for the night and she's not making fun of and she's not making fun of diana ross well isn't that what fallon did Actually, didn't ask the question.

He just did the bit.

He did it.

Yeah.

You brought up a great point yesterday, Glenn.

I thought about this as we were getting close to, we're getting close to Halloween.

The biggest deal in the world was made of finally, African Americans have a superhero, Black Panther.

Finally, they have one.

Finally, after all this time, we've given them a superhero.

And one that actually people want to be.

Yeah.

The white kids and black kids would want to be.

So if your white son decides he wants to be Black Panther

and thinks that it's now, of course, as a father, I would be like, sorry, dude,

you're going to be surprised to hear this, but no, you cannot do that.

Like, he's not going to have no awareness of race.

But, I mean, if what he's trying to do is to, you know,

be one of his heroes who happens to be African-American and he obviously notices the difference in characteristics.

I mean, is that a horrible, horrible thing for a child to consider?

No,

of course not.

Would it be horrible if a black person dressed up as Superman?

No, no, no, it would not.

But wait, if they put on white face as Superman?

No.

I mean,

it seems ridiculous to do it because you don't.

I don't see Superman as white or black.

He's just a Superman.

It doesn't matter.

That's because the name of the show isn't White Superman.

It is Black Panther.

Try this.

I just got this from an African-American friend of mine who I am not going to name because I'm afraid that they will be targeted.

Okay.

Glenn,

what about white face?

Literally this morning, my son in 11th grade said he and his friends want to be white chicks from the movie White Chicks.

I thought it was funny, but I don't know, especially at school.

People will take what's supposed to be funny and they'll be overly offended by it and start this back and forth drama that none of us need.

We live in a white community,

and I literally said, I think this is going to come back to bite you later.

I never thought I'd have to tell my kid that from an African-American.

That's amazing.

Amazing.

And, you know, it may not, there not, may not be a backlash.

We're going the other way for blacks dressing in white face.

That movie came out.

It depends on the political climate now.

Yeah.

There would have never been.

Before, everybody would have thought it was funny.

There would have never been.

But because of the political climate, because people are, you know, you can't even talk about it.

This is.

So, what did we learn from Megan Kelly?

Don't you dare even ask a question.

Exactly.

Don't you dare even ask the question.

Here is a woman who is one of the smartest people on television.

She is as sharp as the sharpest razor.

We all worked with her.

We all know

you screw with Megan Kelly and she will cut you to ribbons.

She is wicked, wicked smart.

Agree?

Oh, very smart.

Yeah.

So here's this woman who is working at a place that hired her.

And then my theory is they hired her because they thought, oh, she's a great investigative reporter.

She's great as an interviewer.

She was a big get at the time.

They were in a bidding war.

Yeah, she was a huge get.

As soon as they, and they all thought this is going to be great, they put her in, and then the social justice warriors, all in the network and outside of the network, oh my goodness, how could you possibly?

She worked at Fox News.

And then they realized, oh, crap,

we're in trouble now with all of the fringe that we thought would be cool with anything that we do.

Now all the social justice warriors, and so they needed a way out.

They have persecuted her, persecuted her all the way through.

So what happens?

They see this opportunity.

She's asked a question.

That's it.

She just says, well, wait a minute, is this wrong?

So here's what we learn.

That even one of the most powerful celebrities, one of the most powerful educated women

is so frightened by the social justice mob inside NBC that the very next day,

this very bright woman

who knows who she is,

goes on television crying, literally, you can see it in her face, crying.

She's so frightened by these people that she says, I'm sorry, I've learned a lot.

Well, what did America learn?

America didn't learn.

And I mean this sincerely.

Mean this absolutely sincerely.

Pat, Stu, can either of you give me a non-politically correct reason why this is so offensive to wear blackface face like Diana Ross if you're not making fun of her.

You're not

aspiring to be someone you admire.

Right.

Can either of you give me a non-politically correct answer?

In other words, you can't use political correctness.

Well, because people will be upset.

No, no, no.

Tell me why.

Well, the only reason I have is the one from El Roker,

which is?

Which was that this was used sort of as a battering ram against blacks in the 20s and 30s.

Okay, okay, so hang on.

Right, sure.

Absolutely.

And it was over-the-top impersonation.

Exactly.

That stuff.

Exactly right.

And that's the 2030s.

Ask any millennial, ask anyone under 30, who's Mr.

Bojangles?

They're not going to know.

They don't.

Do you know who Mr.

Bojangles is?

He's from the song.

He's from the song.

Do you know who he is?

Yeah, dancing with Shirley Temple.

Shirley Temple.

The guy that you always see with Shirley Temple that's doing the dance up the stairs.

That's Mr.

Bojangles, okay?

One of the greatest dancers of all time.

Now, you know, Mr.

Bojangles, that's just for some reason politically incorrect.

You ask people who Mr.

Bojangles is, they don't have any idea.

It may have been in the 20s and 30s, but it's not today.

And again,

Roker is still inserting.

An over-the-top impression, which was not suggested by Megan Kelly.

You know, wait a minute.

It's like an over-at-the-top impersonation like Sarah Silverman did with giant cartoon lips?

You mean like

what's his name just did, Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon?

Fallon, it's always sunny in Philadelphia, Robert Downey Jr.

in

Tropic Thunder.

I mean, blackface is not a, it's been used particularly in comedic circumstances, usually, though, to make a point that blackface is ridiculous.

Not the case with Jimmy Kimmel.

Right, right.

And again, she didn't even do blackface.

She talked about somebody doing it.

She specifically said:

if you are trying to, you know, lift this person up because you're a huge fan.

That's what she said.

This was a political hit job.

It sure was.

And this should stiffen the back of every single conservative and anyone in the media.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You are going against everything this country has ever stood for.

No matter how ugly the speech is, the First Amendment, a member of the press, is being silenced by you

for asking a question.

Now, you may not.

You may not have agreed with this question because I can see how corrosive, how dangerous, how awful that question really was.

But God help you when you ask a question that your overlords, who may I just point out,

Antifa, the far, far, far left, that many of you are starting to go, I don't know, I'm starting to be afraid of my own side.

When they actually grab you by the throat and say, you can't ask that question,

know this.

I will still be consistent.

It will be really hard, but I will still stand for your right to ask whatever stupid question you want to ask.

Thanks, Pat.

Boy, do I need my Casper mattress right now?

We just come and take your money.

Right.

It's great.

It works really well for us.

Yeah.

Really good.

For you, I mean, well.

Yeah.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

We don't care about you.

Why don't you care about the children?

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

Am I right?

Amen, bro.

Am I right?

Amen.

You're the eggs, audience.

Yeah.

Congratulations.

Yeah.

We have to get through some more of this New York Times stuff.

I am very interested to hear what Bill O'Reilly might think about the media's actions this week.

I feel like he may have some thoughts on it.

I don't.

Bill?

Yeah.

He's really kind of silent about things like this, usually.

Yeah, he's very quiet.

You do get the sense that above all, Bill

really cares about the media.

He loves it.

You know, he obviously talks about the country and he talks about the issues and everything else.

But like the passion comes out because, you know, he's been on the wrong side of it here for a while.

The passion comes out when the media is mentioned.

And there was a lot to talk about this week.

So we're going to mention the media a lot.

Just going to poke him with a stick all hour.

Next Next hour, Bill O'Reilly.

Standby.

The country has been pushed to the limit.

Our political bonds have been torn apart.

We need a true leader who can save us from certain doom.

Unfortunately, we can only find this guy.

Hey, it's Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is coming live to talk about the right path forward and to make fun of the people standing in the way.

He might not be able to save the country, but at least we can all go down laughing.

Glenn Beck Live, the Addicted to Outrage tour, on tour this fall.

For tickets, VIP packages, and more, visit GlennBeck.com.

Glenn Beck.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

I can't imagine there is anything on his mind today.

Bill.

Beck.

Pipe bombs.

Yeah.

No idea.

You know, I think we have to wait.

for the FBI to arrest.

We can tell you which angle you'll be.

No, we don't, Bill.

Come on.

We don't have to wait for any of that.

CNN was out, and New York Times were they were out with their opinion immediately.

I know, and they bear no responsibility for the acrimony, word of the day, sweeping across the nation.

The New York Times and CNN bear no responsibility

for 18 months, more than that, two years, two years of constant

negativity,

constant criticism, constant smearing,

but they bear no responsibility back.

Okay,

just to make your point so crystal clear, I'd like to play a couple of audio pieces for you just to

listen to them, and then this, I'm sure, backs this up.

Could we play flashback Rick Wilson, please?

Trump is still a very powerful force right now, and he's still holding a lot of

the part of the base that is very activated by his message, the nativist message

that's that's got a fraction of the base very energized.

And the donor class can't just sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don't worry, this will all work itself out.

They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.

And that's a fact.

Okay, so that's MSNBC.

How about this is Johnny Depp?

It's just a question.

I'm not insinuating anything.

By the way, this is going to be in the press.

It'll be horrible.

But I like that you're all a part of it.

When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

How about this one?

Flashback law professor on Trump.

You can't be the boy who cried wolf and expect to have a viable impeachment power.

You can't use it over and over again against the same president.

Right.

If you're going to shoot him, you've got to shoot the kill.

That requires an overwhelming majority of a bipartisan kind.

Okay.

Let me go to MSNBC again, what Jeb Bush should do.

So I told Jeb Bush after that debate that I thought he should have punched him in the face.

I said, even if you lost, he insulted your wife.

He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murders.

He said, well, what do you think I should have done?

I said, I think you should have punched him in the face and then gotten out of the race.

He would have been a hero.

So,

Bill.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, we can't target districts.

We can't target because that causes violence.

Put a bullet in the head, punch him in the face, take him out, put a bullet into Donald Trump.

When's the last time an actor killed a president?

I don't know.

What do you think?

You know, it's hard for me to

keep stating the same thing over and over again.

I mean, I think everybody listening to us right now understands

that,

yeah, President Trump is undisciplined in the way he phrases things.

But his choice, as I laid out in my column on billoreilly.com, he had a choice.

So President Trump could have done what George W.

Bush did was ignore the personal attacks.

Bush is a fascist.

Bush is stupid.

Bush knew about there were no weapons of discretion, but killed American soldiers anyway.

You know, Bush ignored it all.

65%.

65% of Democrats believed when George Bush was in office that he had something to do with 9-11, and that conspiracy was started by someone they claim is on the right, and he is not.

It was started by what's his fat-faced loudmouth guy.

What's his name?

No, no, no.

Alex Jones.

65%.

Whatever it is, you know, and I talked to Bush about this on television extensively, and he basically said, factor, that's my strategy.

I'm not changing it.

Okay, so that's number one.

So Donald Trump could have done that, easy, but he chose to fight back.

Trump did.

And he said, I'm not going to let these people marginalize me because it'll never end.

And the American people see me as a fighter.

They see me as a person who strikes back when attacked.

So

I'm going to do that.

So then you have to say, okay, well, who started the fracas?

Who started this?

And you can make a case that Trump's bombastic attacks attacks on his rivals

in the primary process

started it.

You can make a case for that.

How?

How?

Look, he's a symptom.

Yeah, he's a symptom.

The American people have never been this way.

We've never been this way.

No, no.

He was a symptom of people feeling beaten and kicked to death by being called racist and homophobe and everything else by the people.

That came later it when it was apparent that Trump was a player and could win.

See, what people don't understand is that in the beginning, the press didn't think that Donald Trump could

do anything.

He didn't have a chance.

He was like, entertainment.

All right.

Let's bring out the dancing bear.

That's how the press saw him.

But then when he started to win, the whole strategy changed.

And I keep saying that this comes from the corporate level, and it does.

Okay?

So then it was destroy him.

Destroy him.

That were the orders that came down from the editors of the New York Times.

Not in those words, but it was very clear what they wanted to do.

Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and then...

Facebook.

I mean, they're on

video saying that.

Yes, okay.

So there's no doubt that people listening to us know that.

So then it's, all right, if that's the destruction that has been ordered, how does Trump

counter?

What does he do?

He doesn't have surrogates.

I mean, there are no surrogates who can do it for him.

He has to do it.

So he does it in a very blunt and sometimes disturbing way for a president.

But my column said, what is his choice?

If he doesn't do it, they are going to marginalize and destroy him.

He'll be the laughing stock.

And yeah, in the liberal precincts he is already, but he doesn't care about that.

But he has a growing, I believe, growing number of people supporting him.

And the reason he has it is because he gives them no quarter.

He fights back.

But now they're turning it around saying, well,

you're fight back.

It's like Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh fought back.

Oh, he's out of control.

Oh, that's not,

that fight back shows he doesn't have the temperament.

Oh, come on.

You're being destroyed by these people and you're not allowed to show emotion?

It's the same thing.

So now with the bomb thing, oh, Trump did it.

We're CNN.

We're not responsible for any of it.

Oh, no, not us.

Now, I'm hoping that the vast majority of the American people understand what's happening.

I think they do because CNN's ratings are so terrible.

No matter what they do, no matter how they ratchet it up, still very, very few people watch them.

So I'm hoping they get it.

Well, they're not going to.

So, Bill,

how much trouble are they in?

I mean, the New York Times, literally paragraph 35

in the New York Times, talks about how this doesn't look like these bombs were made by somebody who wanted to actually kill anybody.

This was just a statement of some sort.

What happened?

From the jump.

Of course.

They're cartoon bombs.

The only thing it doesn't.

This is the gang that couldn't shoot straight or bomb straight.

This is ridiculous.

From the jump.

This was a press.

We're going to do this to get it into the press because we know the media will go hysterical.

Correct.

And it could be somebody who was on the right and didn't want to kill anybody, but wanted to make a statement, and they're crazy.

Could be somebody on the left who wanted to do the same thing.

Could be somebody who is just a really,

unbelievably worst bomb maker known to man, which I highly doubt.

But it could very well be somebody who thought, you know what, we're going to send these to the press.

We're going to send these to

all of the enemies of the right.

And

it will sway an election.

Obviously, contrive to get media attention to influence the midterms.

I'm putting my money on Putin.

Yeah.

Putin did it.

How does the media respond when it turns out that

it's either a prank with no political motive or it was politically motivated by the left?

Well, that would be an amazing story, wouldn't it?

That's why I'm hoping the FBI can, you know, flesh this out pretty quickly.

How would the press handle that?

I think that they would

look, you have to understand that every morning out of the Washington, D.C.

think tanks, progressive think tanks, they send

stuff

to Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow and these people.

They get stuff.

So that

they'll sit down and go, okay, now how are we going to spin this?

Maybe the person sending it was insane, you know, that kind of thing.

They'll never say,

well, gee, maybe

our side is so crazed now that we have to criticize our side.

You're never going to see that ever.

Back with Bill O'Reilly and the rest of the news of the week in just a second.

So,

does this change the election?

What's going on?

Could be.

I will tell you, if the

House and the Senate are lost,

we're in for an amazing wild ride, especially economically.

I think we are already in for a wild ride, and one of the reasons I'm becoming more and more concerned about the trade war.

But

imagine if the House and the Senate or just the House are controlled,

what is the President going to be able to do on the economy?

What is the President going to be able to do without a Congress when it comes to just the skirmish on the border?

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine what that is going to be like?

Goldline has just put a report together on what you can expect if there's a Democratic victory.

You can get this report for free just by calling them.

I don't know if you've been paying attention to the stock market, but

instead of

this bombing thing from somebody who is clearly either incompetent, unstable, or just wants attention, we should be paying attention to what's happening in the stock market, what's happening with the economy.

Read this report.

I've read it.

I've already shared it.

You need to get it too.

It's free.

All you have to do is call Goldline right now and ask them for their election report.

Don't wait.

Call them now, 866Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine or Goldline.com.

Bill O'Reilly,

I want to start

with

something that John Kasich said yesterday because he was on CNN.

And boy, isn't he the voice that we should all be listening to.

Listen to what John Kasich said about the

caravan coming from Honduras.

They're marching north.

And you know what?

It could easily have been all of us that we're in the caravan, that we're marching north, trying to save our families and save our children.

We've got to start putting ourselves in the shoes of other people.

We've got to start thinking about the consequences that others suffer.

And if we've been spared those by the grace of God,

let us be appreciative.

Let us count our blessings.

Please stop and let us take him anymore.

Bill,

within six hours, my crack team

found out who these people were, what the real intention was.

And the press and John Kasich still are just saying, no, no, no, these are just good people.

You want to talk a little bit about the caravan?

Yeah.

First of all, I know Kasich's a long time.

He used to sub for me once in a while on a factor on Fox.

He's a good man,

very sincere, did a nice job running Ohio.

But John is a theoretical guy.

He's not a real world guy, and people ought to know that.

So he's basically saying, Americans, we have to put ourselves in the position of somebody in Honduras.

who

is poor and oppressed because the society down there is violent and out of control.

Okay,

but then what is the point of that exercise, Governor Kasich?

That we allow everyone in Honduras to come to Ohio?

Everyone?

And the same thing with all the poor countries in the world?

Because that's what you are espousing

by saying that the caravan people should be allowed to seek asylum in the United States.

That's what you're you're saying.

Everyone can come here and do that.

We would rule California.

California would be a foreign country within 18 months.

Right.

Three-year backlog right now of asylum

hearings.

And if you apply, you are in the country.

You're here for three years at least.

Okay?

What do you do here?

Who knows?

50% of all immigrant families, both illegal and legal, are on means-tested welfare.

So there's a one out of two chance that the American taxpayers are going to have to pick up some of your bills.

$22 trillion debt right now for the USA.

So if you look at the unintended consequences of John Kasich's vision of compassion, it's not compassion at all.

You're basically wrecking

a system that does provide true opportunity opportunity for 320 million Americans should they do what they need to do to succeed.

You're wrecking that system, Governor Kasich.

Do you not understand that?

See, I could, and that's the debate.

I mean, I just crushed him in the debate because he would have no answer for any of that.

Bill, tell me who's behind this.

Who's financing this?

Well, I do believe it's the progressive crew,

the George Soros people,

because

that's who has done it in the past.

And we did a big thing on billoreilly.com last night about Soros after CBS glorified him.

We said, no,

he's pumping in 2018, this year alone, tens of millions of dollars into the worst organizations.

And by that, I mean they attack and smear anyone they disagree with.

David Brock runs one of them.

That's the media matters guy.

And don't tell me that

this is a benevolent man.

So I believe that these

kinds of people, I can't prove it because there's no accountability in Honduras, but I believe they're behind it because there is big money behind it, as everybody knows.

Bill, I invite you to read what even the president of Honduras is saying.

This is backed by a Cuba,

Venezuela,

and ousted president of Honduras that are blaming the United States for all of the unrest.

The former president says that America is going to have to pay for all of this.

They'll have to accept our citizens.

This is just an ongoing internal battle in Honduras that has, quite honestly, lied to many of their people

and said that America is going to have to take you, and they're going to because they're responsible for this mess.

This is a Marxist revolutionary

that has tried to take Honduras by force.

The Supreme Court, two branches of their government, found what he was doing to be unconstitutional and kicked him out.

And he's been causing problems ever since.

And now he, Venezuela, and Cuba are together in what was formerly known as ALBA, but they are pissed at the United States, and they're the ones financing at least the beginning of it.

That's how it started.

Now, Soros or others may be involved, but I haven't seen any evidence of that yet, but I would not put it past them.

Right.

And it would be interesting to see if there is a pipeline of cash going into Tegusa Galpa.

So this is what I say.

I'm skeptical of everything, and I agree with you.

There has been no hard evidence put forth that George Soros or people like him did this.

But if

it's one of

the things they've done in the past, but the government of Honduras should be able to trace

foreign money coming into that country back.

They should be able to show people this is what has arrived here.

So

I hope they do that.

If they believe Cuba and Venezuela are actively involved in subverting their own country, Honduras, and then by extension hurting the USA, they have the ability to find that out.

Let's go.

There are two other groups that are being formed now, two other waves that are supposedly following this one.

And I would love to hear when we come back what you think the president should do,

what you think it looks like if they do arrive at the border,

and how the press is going to treat this.

And what do sane Americans do to counter that when we come back with Bill O'Reilly?

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

We're with Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, let me lay out a scenario here, and you tell me where it's where I'm off base.

I don't think this caravan helps the Democrats in the midterm elections, and it's why the press is saying, Oh,

there's no evidence that they're going to come all the way to the border, and they're dismissing it.

And that's just a crazy conspiracy thing that get all the Trump supporters all wound up.

They're all dismissing this now.

I can't believe that they're going to make it by the midterm election.

I think this is

to

arrive after the midterm election and a possible new Democratic House, which will throw us into chaos.

A.

You think there's any reality in there?

B, what do you see coming and and how things are going to shake out?

Well, I said on BillO'Reilly.com, my analysis is that the Mexican government will break up a lot of the caravan

before they start getting on to vehicles because they're not going to walk to McAllen, Texas or Tijuana,

San Diego sector.

They're not going to do it.

So they're at a they're approaching a

railway terminus now in Mexico.

Some of them will get on trains heading north.

Those trains have to stop in Mexico City.

And that's where I believe the Mexican government will start to intervene.

Some of them will make it,

but

they're not going to walk.

So you don't think it'll be a massive.

That's what, you know, look, the State Department Pompeo is down there now.

I mean, he's screaming at them now that, you know, if you let these people en masse go to the border, we're going to take economic reprisals on Mexico.

And that's what they'll do, and they know it.

So they'll break it up.

But some people will reach, and some people will get there, mostly in vehicles.

That's where the smugglers come in, the cartels come in.

The

Pueblo Sin, Frontieras already has vehicles down there.

You can do trains.

You can do a whole bunch of stuff.

But when it gets to that point,

the

border authorities will put up barriers, new barriers, and it will be manned by U.S.

troops, and there will be no way for the migrants to get to any U.S.

official to apply for asylum.

Trump's already said he's going to do that.

He has to do it.

The left is hoping for some kind of violent confrontation.

That's what they would like to see.

But I agree with you that this is not helping the Democratic Party in the vote 10 days from now.

How bad it's hurting them, it depends what section of the country you're in.

Do you see

the possibility that real radicals would like to set up a

Palestinian-Israel situation at our border, and it would be handled exactly the same way by the media as they handle the Palestinians and Israel?

They show the big bad state beating up on the little guy.

you, I mean, I said two years ago, this is what our border is eventually going to look like.

They are going to set up a Palestinian kind of situation, and we're going to be Israel.

I mean, they've already done this, you know, on the small stage.

Bring it, you know, bring it to Broadway, bring it to the American border, and

that's the way they'll play it.

Maybe, but

the Mexican government does not want that.

All right, they don't, they don't want, they got problems on a border.

Um, you know, Juarez, one of the worst places in the world.

Tijuana, right behind.

They don't want all this because it drains their infrastructure.

I mean, this is an environmental disaster for Mexico.

These people all need facilities.

They need water.

They need food.

Mexican people are poor.

There's not the infrastructure to support this.

So yeah,

we would love shanty towns there with

mothers and babies and look at the United States.

They're rich, and look at these people and let them in.

Sure.

But the Mexican government, I'm telling you, is under tremendous pressure by the Trump administration not to allow any of this to happen.

So

how do you move 7,000 to 14,000 people and just find enough water?

How is this not a humanitarian crisis?

It's a disaster.

But they have it set up whereby there are tents who paid for those tents.

Yeah, you would think the media would care.

Nah, you can't.

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

No, no, no.

All they want to do is

pictures of the poor baby and children.

And

the mother.

No, no, no, Bill, but they.

No, they care so much about the humanitarian side of this.

Oh, yeah.

You would think that they would find out: is there enough baby formula?

Who's paying for it?

Right.

Right.

Look,

we've been over this and over this and over this.

We don't have an honest press in America anymore, which is an enormous story that is not being covered by the dishonest press.

They're not going to cover themselves.

So there's guys like you and me, we do it, but

most of the American people feel that we do have a functioning honest press and we don't at any level.

Let me ask you this.

There was a story out this week, and I know you touched on it, about the one in four college students were in critical distress

in response to the Trump election.

25% said they felt like they had PTSD.

Yeah, this is at Arizona State University

and in Tempe.

And look, it's just an ongoing indicator that there is a segment of the American population under the age of 30

who cannot cope with life.

That's why you're seeing the rise of opioids, opioids.

You're seeing this whole thing.

It all plays into

we just can't handle it.

Yeah.

We can't handle any stress.

No stress zone.

We can't have any.

You know, we have microaggressions.

No, I'm offended by a sign.

I'm offended by a speaker.

I'm offended by a hat.

There's a frog over there.

He offends me.

Can you imagine when they have children?

My gosh, they're not going to be able to get up in the morning.

But those people will fail.

They will fail in our system because our system is not going to change.

It's going to be competitive.

It's going to be self-reliance.

The progressives would love to change it, but it's not going to change in our lifetime.

And these people who have all of this anxiety about Donald Trump being president or whatever else it may be are going to fail in the marketplace.

Going to give you an opportunity to address Megan Kelly.

Anything to say about Megan Kelly?

I think I was kinder to Megan Kelly than any other person in the news business, as you well know.

We featured her on my program in a segment called The Kelly File, which became her

name of her program when she got one.

We promoted her.

In the beginning, I thought she was a very honest, you know, great talent and did what I always do.

I helped her along.

Subsequently,

she turned out to be not a very nice person to me and many others at Fox, many others, and went on her way.

And now

it's not looking so good.

But

I don't want to revel in anybody's discomfort.

I don't like doing that.

I specifically want to know about what you think about losing a job because

you would dare ask a question.

If you're not trying to tear somebody down and it's Halloween, and here's this specific case about a woman who loved Diana Ross, when is Diana Ross?

How is that offensive?

And losing your job

in our PC culture now, and this ties in, it's so ironic because Ms.

Kelly, one of the biggest boosters of Me Too,

which, of course,

does not

take into account due process.

So now, did she get due process?

No, she did not.

Now, her comments may have been,

to her, inoffensive, but if you know your history,

black-faced entertainers in America were used to denigrate African Americans.

And

she knows that.

She should have known it.

Yeah, well, she does.

I don't know.

I don't know about that, Beck.

I really don't know if she knew that or not, because she could have easily pointed that out in a couple of paragraphs before going into any kind of defense of it.

And she did not.

But in our media society now, if you say anything out of the PC line in the network arena,

or if you're attacked by a Me Too situation in the network arena, your career is over.

There is no due process, no presumption of innocence, no benefit of the doubt.

You're out.

Is it ironic at all that there are so many people on the left in

journalism that are celebrating her demise?

I don't know if it's celebrating as much as it's a virtue play.

You see, this is what has arisen.

All these left-wing commentators see themselves as virtuous.

Oh, Megan Kelly.

Did you see what Kirsten Powers wrote in USA Today?

Did you see that?

No.

All right.

You take a look at that.

Because she

was a Fox News contributor, and who I use a lot.

And she just scorched Kelly.

Absolutely scorched her as a racist.

Can flat out said it.

You're a racist.

And you know what?

I'm a racist too.

This is what Kirsten Powers said.

But I'm working on it.

I'm aware of my racist tendencies because I'm white.

You know, for Kirsten Powers, everyone who's white's a racist, white privilege.

All right.

But I'm working on it, so I'm virtuous, but she's not.

And this is what you get, that all of these people that pile on, and I'm certainly not going to do that to Megan Kelly or anybody else unless it's George Soros.

All of these people.

Oh, I'm the really good person.

You know?

And it's very frightening what's happening in this country.

I could tie it into killing the SS, but I'm sure you don't want to hear that.

Of course you could tie it into killing the SS.

Well,

it's all about what you can say.

It's all about fear.

And that's what the Nazis were all about.

Absolutely.

It's all about fear.

It goes back to you cannot say things in America anymore

or you will be punished.

Yes.

Guess what other society had that going on?

Yep.

Thank you very much.

Bill O'Reilly.

Best-selling book.

Killing the SS.

Really, really good.

New York Times bestseller, of course.

Mr.

Bill O'Reilly.

We'll talk to you again next week.

Thank you so much.

All right.

All right.

You know,

is he still there?

Is he gone?

We should give him a city, fly him into one of the cities for our tour.

And let him talk about his little German book or whatever it is.

And fly him in for our tour.

Oh, he's on?

Bill.

Bill.

He's not there.

We'll talk to him later.

You have to know if they have a good track record in your area.

That also is really important.

No, he's from the Zoom.

Yeah, he was the post right.

Yeah.

If I send him some money, he's going to.

It's just a little bit, and he can give us a lot back.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm glad he talked to you because I was a little skeptical, but now that I know you got it too.

Well, I'm going to rush to get it done before you get it to him.

Okay, no, that's not it.

But an amazing story I'll share with you coming up in just a second.

So we might have a few things to say about the election.

Just a few.

You think?

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah.

Richmond, Hershey, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland coming up next week.

Yeah, so you don't want to miss that.

You can grab your tickets at Glenbeck.com.

It's been a long time since we've been to Cleveland, hasn't it?

Yeah, it has been.

In fact, it's been a long time since we've been to any of these places.

Yeah, they don't let us.

We don't usually let us out of the state.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But that's going to be really fun.

The crowds are always great there, and we're excited to see everybody out on tour.

It's been a while.

And that's going to be fun.

And you know what I'm really anxious to

experience is all of the people that are going to, when I walk out, go, wow, he went to hell, didn't he?

Wow, he's led himself.

I feel like that's about half the ticket sales so far.

There's people interested to see what happened.

It's really

the whole thing.

I mean, I think he might drop dead halfway through.

No,

because you're doing the show sitting, which you can usually get through, usually.

Well, but standing.

I'm not on a stage.

No, no, no.

I mean, I sit, but

I am going to bring one of those things, you know, that they have in the grocery stores and at Disneyland.

The little chair that...

The cart?

Yeah, just drive around.

I'm not going to be pacing back and forth on stage.

I got one of those cars.

Oh, good, good, good.

Yeah.

Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or

start your morning with, and that is...

The news and why it matters.

If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.

The news and why it matters.

Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcast.

Glenn Beck.

I wrote Addicted to Outrage, and

when I wrote it, I

really felt it was something that had to be said.

And

And I didn't expect it to be

widely embraced or loved.

I, you know, it's one of those things that I felt that had to be said.

It's because of our relationship.

If you're a long-time listener to this program, you know that I've said for a long time, I think this audience is going to be the one that turns the corner and saves the republic.

Because you're just different.

You're going to act differently.

You're going to know what other people don't know.

And

so I wrote it for you, but I am shocked at the number of emails I am getting that

from people whose lives are

really changed in ways that I have had no idea.

Just a few minutes ago,

I was sent an

email

from a listener that sent this last night at

12 o'clock at night.

It says, Dear Mr.

Beck,

my name's Christian.

I'm a 30-year-old man-child.

I've been blessed with a beautiful and patient wife, two amazing children.

All I've ever wanted since I was young was to be a hero.

I joined the Army at seventeen, trained at the police academy, shortly after the birth of my wife at our first child.

I figured, I guess, that having a dangerous job would increase my chances of being a hero.

Our actions, of which at the time, are seemingly small,

but those end up being the things that make us heroes or villains.

I changed my

goal of being a hero.

A few years later, all I needed to do was be worthy of being called father and husband.

I almost lost that opportunity.

A few months ago, my daughter had just finished the second grade.

We are a month into summer vacation.

When she told my wife and I that she had been sexually assaulted earlier in the school year,

my wife and I were crushed.

I was unable to process it for a couple of weeks.

I remember being told after getting home from work, and I tried to console my

unconsolable wife.

But I couldn't handle it.

Because of me and my stupid lizard brain, I wasn't able to deal with the emotions that I was now feeling.

Foolishly, stupidly, I shut down and went upstairs and I played video games.

To answer the question that you must immediately be thinking, yes,

my amazing wife is still married to me.

One of our worst nightmares had come to pass,

and I was unable to deal with the anguish.

I remember a story being told by an instructor in the military, being told of a convoy that was ambushed after having a Humvee take a hit from an IED.

He was treated,

he was treated in the wounded men, and needed to carry one of the soldiers off to another Humvee to be medifact out.

One of the soldiers had his arm severed just below the elbow and was in shock.

He handed the soldiers his own arm after applying a tourniquet and told the soldier he needed to follow him as he got another soldier out that wasn't able to walk.

The man looked at his own severed arm in his hand and repeatedly told the medic that

helped him that his arm was fine and this wasn't his arm.

Sometimes we just don't know how to deal with things.

For two solid weeks I lied to myself that my daughter was fine and this didn't happen, didn't happen to her, didn't happen to us.

And I broke down in tears, finally able to process what had befallen my now seven year old daughter.

My wife forgave me

for spending those two weeks.

It wasn't until months after

that we would figure out who had done this terrible thing.

All I wanted to do after she told me about this

was find this uh this guy and cut off the offending appendages.

As it turned out, it was a twelve-year-old boy.

He was in my Sunday school class for ten months.

I had been teaching this boy in Sunday school.

Oh, how I hated and wanted to hate this young man.

I wanted to ruin his life before it even began.

I wanted to let you know

that in the height of my hatred I downloaded your book Addicted to Outrage on Audible.

It was the last couple of chapters that I heard you speak

that I

realized that my outrage was justified, but it was also toxic,

and it would become a force to be used to destroy me.

I needed to forgive this boy,

because we are required to forgive all men.

I forgave him in my heart.

And as I did, I felt the burden of my outrage and my anger lifted.

Yes, the pain of what happened still lingers, and the reality of the situation is still very real.

But my outlook and my spirit are no longer held hostage by my hate.

I just wanted to thank you for writing this book.

It literally helped me pick myself out of darkness so deep that I thought there was no way out.

I wanted to let you know that your work has helped save at least one guy,

Christian

Christian is a

as a man who has gone through

a similar situation recently with one of my children,

and I thank God we caught it before

anything happened.

I understand

I understand.

We knew the address of the man who

did this to my son.

And I think if it would have happened and I wasn't home, my wife may have killed him.

I think about it all the time.

I think about my children all the time

and

your email has reminded me

that it's not just me,

for I haven't talked to my wife about it

for the last few months, and I know how much it still bothers me,

how irresponsible I have been

to not realize

she is probably

dealing with it as well.

There are things that we don't want to think about

that are truly frightening.

And I think

when we look at a country, when we look and we really realize

what we really stand to lose,

it's not our job.

It's not our money.

It's the unthinkable.

It's something that doesn't happen to us.

It happens to other countries, but it doesn't happen to us.

And it so scares us that we avoid it

and we talk about other things.

But that's just as dangerous

as the outrage and just as talk toxic

If you said to somebody, if you said to everybody you met in the next two weeks,

you know, you look like you could use some cheering up,

I think you'd be right about eighty or ninety percent of the time.

Across all income levels, across all colors and boundaries.

We're all struggling with something.

And we all have something big to forgive that, man, we don't want to.

But the reality is we need each other.

My kids hated the fact that I talked about endurance when they were growing up, that endurance was one of the virtues that you had to have, or you're not going to make it.

You have to endure, endure.

Life is endurance.

Life is about the long run, not the short run.

Endure it to the end.

They hated that.

Dad, you're always so pessimistic.

No, I'm not.

I'm telling you that there's a lot in life that you're going to have to endure, that you're going to hate.

Life is not what you think it is when you're a kid.

It's just not.

It's harder than that.

But it's it's so worth it.

But we need to be like a cross-country team.

If we're going to survive this, we don't cheer the person who came across first.

We cheer the person who came across the finish line last as well.

Because we're all different runners.

We all have different things going on.

And it is truly about beating

your last time.

Doing just slightly better than you did last time.

Being slightly better than you were yesterday.

And if we can help each other and cheer each other on with that,

we'll make it.

But it gets harder and harder every day.

In the hopes that somebody

that needs to hear this will hear this from you today.

You're not alone.

You're not alone.

We're in this together,

and we're going to make it.

It's Friday, October 26th.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I'll tell you a little bit about our sponsor, the Sapphire.

We are so grateful for the people at Filter Buy.

This is actually a company that was making something different years ago.

And it was a small town, and everybody was working in this factory.

And

the grandfather and the father died.

And the son-in-law, who was working in New York, he's a Wall Street guy.

He found out that the family's factory was going to go out and all these people are going to be unemployed.

And

he was talking to his wife, and he's like, we can't do that.

This legacy has to go on.

And we can't unemploy all these people.

And so he did some research and found out that one of the things that they could make, and they can make them better and cheaper here in America, are air filters.

And so they retooled the factory and kept the doors open.

And now Filter Buy

is ready to serve you.

FilterBuy.com is the leading provider now for HVAC filters for homes and small businesses.

I have it because I'm not somebody who's going to remember to change my filter.

I'm not going to Home Depot and like, oh, you know what?

I've got that on my to-do list.

I'm just not going to do it.

I'll forget it.

Filter Buy saves me 5% off the cost of these filters just because I say, hey, would you send these to me every six months or whenever it is I'm supposed to change the filter?

And they do.

Filter Buy, they ship for free within 24 hours, 600 different sizes.

They have the size for you.

You'll save 5% if you do the auto-subscribe.

It's FilterBuy, filterbuy.com, filterbuy.com.

Well, the FBI may have

arrested.

Well, they have arrested a suspect in Florida.

It broke about an hour ago that they were bringing somebody in for questioning.

Now it is arrest of a suspect.

His

van is covered in stickers.

I mean, the guy's nuts.

If I were to ask you before this, can you sketch sketch out what you think this guy's van looks like?

You would have picked this.

Yeah.

It's covered in decals and seemingly political messages.

Yet I can't quite zoom in to see exactly what they say.

And they've covered the van.

They're now covering it with blue tarp so no one can see it.

Yep.

But

we've had a blurry picture of it, and it looks like it may be a guy on the right.

Or at least,

you know, it's hard to tell exactly.

There's certainly political messages all over it and flags all over it.

It does appear to be a picture of Trump and the presidential seal.

I mean, could it be

either?

It could be, I don't like that this guy's president, right?

But I mean,

you know, again, this is what people are speculating at this point.

It's hard to see, honestly, from the pictures.

You'll get a picture pretty soon, though, that's clear, I'm sure.

You know, we're going to find this out relatively quickly, where this guy goes.

I mean, this is a really quick arrest.

It does support the idea that he was,

as does the fact that zero of the bombs went off, completely incompetent and crazy.

I mean, the fact that you mail bombs and they're finding you this quickly is, you know, shows a lack of level of sophistication.

It does.

It really does.

Yeah.

So we'll see.

We're going to know fairly quickly, I think.

So this guy may be just a really bad, incompetent version of the Bernie Sanders guy that was competent when he was trying to kill all the Republicans about a year ago.

Looks like this may be

our version of that guy.

Fortunately, our version, if you will, is completely inept and incompetent, and no one was hurt.

Yeah, I mean,

if that's true, what the van said.

We don't know.

And to be noted, of course, he is absolutely not my guy.

No, I know just what they're going to say.

He's not my guy either.

Yeah.

But, you know, they're going to assign him as, you know, this is what a Trump supporter is like and blah, blah, blah.

And you know what?

There are those people on both sides.

and this is why it is so

terrifying it's not going to be a rational person that causes these things they're not going to be rational they're going to be nuts they're going to be absolutely nuts

and

And that's what's frightening is the media just puts all of the nut jobs on the right in as the regular person.

When When it comes to the left, they don't even report them, but they certainly say, Well, that's not.

That's not, you know, that's not who Bernie Sanders is, and that's not a Bernie Sanders follower.

Well, I agree with you.

I agree with you.

Why is this guy all of a sudden any less than the guy from Bernie that was a Bernie Sanders volunteer?

Yeah, and as we said at the time, and Bernie Sanders is not responsible for shootings

at baseball fields, and nor is Donald Trump responsible for this, as any logical person that's ever seen anything to do with our legal system would be able to note.

But, you know, again, this is, we're not going to know enough about this.

This is, but this is a product of the world we are creating now.

And that is all of us.

All of us are creating this.

And, you know, it's not going to stop until both sides realize it, until the media says, okay, wait a minute.

What did we do that makes you think that we're the enemy?

What did we do and actually listen to to half the country?

Then we could move forward and create a better tomorrow.

This is the Glen Beck program.

Okay, looks like we may have the guy who was ascending the package bombs.

We know now he lives in Florida, has a criminal history, has ties to New York.

They have wrapped his white van up so you can't see anything because he looks like a crazy man.

It's one of those, you know, it's one of those vans where there's stickers over every

bit of it.

We're not sure.

It looks like he was a Donald Trump, a big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, crazy big fan of Donald Trump.

Emphasis on crazy.

You know, but we don't know for sure because it looks like that's what those stickers are, but we don't have a clear picture of it yet.

Yeah.

I mean, get going, internet.

I mean, what's going on here?

Jeez.

How long do we have to wait?

This is 2018.

I want it immediately.

I want to know.

This case got up like an hour ago.

I want this guy in jail by now.

I want to know.

And speaking of that, by the way, I mean, isn't the bigger problem here, don't we just stop selling vans?

White vans, white vans.

Stop selling white vans and arrest all people who own white vans.

Now, if you're driving around in a white van right now, we'll give you

a good solid.

No, no, we're not.

You're up to no good.

If you're driving a white van right now, we know you're up to no good.

What did you just mail?

What was it?

Was it a bad one?

Where were you or was it a bomb?

Which one was it?

Where were you?

Oh, at home sleeping last night?

Can you verify that?

Do you have witnesses?

Do you have a decal in the back that makes it look like an ice cream truck so you can lure little kids in there?

Is that what you're doing?

That's what I bet you're doing.

What else would you do with a white van in 2018?

Well, in some ways, lots of business uses.

No, yeah, but that wouldn't be this show.

No, they'd bring up all sorts of things.

I mean, if they have their own show, they could make that point, I suppose.

Wasn't the guy in Virginia?

So if you disagree with this, get your own damn show.

Wasn't the guy in Virginia?

Didn't he have a van too?

I thought he was living in his van or something, wasn't he?

Yeah, I think you're right.

Yes, he was because he went to,

he would bathe at the YMCA, the local YMCA.

So when the shooting happened, they all knew where he was and they knew who he was because he was very he lived in another state and drove there to basically camp out there and prepare for the shooting.

Right.

He was a Bernie Sanders guy.

A big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, crazy,

big Bernie Sanders guy.

And he was living in his van.

I mean, it's going to be interesting to see.

I think there's several distinctions to several additional levels to this.

Let's say we find out that this is exactly who it is.

It is the person.

It is his van.

These are pro-Trump stickers, whatever.

I mean, we don't know any of those things for sure yet.

But if we find that out, it'll be an interesting distinction to see if he is the type.

He's either a very incompetent lunatic who tried to blow up people and failed

or hold on one more sentence or he's a lunatic who uh was just trying to scare people and did not intend to kill people that will be an a distinction that will be interesting in the investigation did you see his van i did okay i'm going to guess incompetent i'm going to guess incompetent too because a van like that you know if you're thinking i'm going to put a sticker on my on my van because i want people to know and maybe it'll change their heart maybe it'll change their mind yeah that van's not.

That van's not.

That van is like,

ooh, stay away from this guy.

Let me ask you this.

In American history, let me go for in global history.

In global history.

Has there ever been an individual who has been won over by a massive collection of bumper stickers on a car?

Has anyone ever changed an opinion or considered a new one?

Because someone, not from one bumper sticker, because I think that's even possible.

But maybe even a couple.

Maybe

two or three.

Three, you're pushing it.

You have 300 bumper stickers covering all of your windows.

You are not convincing anyone to your viewpoint.

I think you've lost people because of it.

Oh, no.

If you have an HOA,

you're going to be kicked out.

They're going to tell you to move because you're going to spook to death all of the neighbors.

Even the neighbor.

You could be living in the most

anti-pro.

You could be living in a neighborhood with the Holy Family

and the pope and all of the pro-life activists from all time.

Right.

And you could drive one of those crazy anti-abortion vans into your driveway and those people are going to say, you know, we have standards.

Yeah.

You're nuts.

I just really hope if Jesus comes back, it's not in a van.

If he comes in a white van with a bunch of bumper stickers, people are not going to buy it.

They're just going to be like, I don't believe this guy.

There's no way to come back like that.

And again, you're not supposed to know it's coming.

So maybe that's how he knows it.

Maybe that's how he does it.

He comes back.

Maybe that's how the Antichrist comes.

Well, that I would believe.

I don't.

Well, no, no, no, because I wouldn't be slick enough.

He would have to have no van.

He'd be.

Oh, my gosh.

Go on.

Plug your ears, Stu.

Okay.

He'd be the guy who would try to say we should round up all of the people with a van.

The Antichrist would be the first one to go,

you know, these van people are nuts.

It would be a good suspect.

No one would see it coming.

And they'd just be like, why is such an irrelevant person?

Why is that we care about?

You find out, Stu's the Antichrist.

What a wild choice.

Wow.

I didn't see that one coming.

That's like the really bad lifetime movies where they're trying to give you the big, the big switcheroo.

And

it's a rape case.

And the whole time they point you to this one person.

And at the very last second, a guy she walked by for three seconds in the grocery store is the guy who did it.

And you're like, come on, of course we didn't see that coming.

It's a nobody.

Well, you're welcome.

I'm the Antichrist.

There you go.

Wow.

Same plot twist.

I don't know if I feel comfortable employing the Antichrist.

So I'm just going to concentrate on the mailbomb suspect that's just been arrested in Florida.

Yeah,

I cannot believe there is not a journalist who has taken a high-quality photo of this van.

How is this possible?

They're all zoomed out from, you know, the helicopters, and you can't quite see exactly what it says.

I will say, you know, by all appearances, it does appear to be pro-Trump propaganda.

Now, it's sort of difficult to see,

you know, like, for example,

there's a shirt that was around in the elections a lot that looked like a Hillary presidential shirt, and then it said a message under it that said something like, you know, lock her up 2020 or 2016.

Like, it could theoretically be a lot of anti-Trump stuff, but I don't.

I think you're just trying to fish in pretty deep here.

I do this all the time for the left.

A little after.

Like you try to find, okay, what is the one circumstance that we could be missing here?

And maybe that's it.

But it does seem to be

his face in a presidential seal pretty clearly on one of the windows.

But again,

the media is going to try to make this out to be, well, all Trump supporters are evil bombers.

Again, we didn't do that with all Bernie Sanders supporters.

We didn't say all people who

were Celio Cortez was going to shoot someone

on a field.

Yeah, and that guy was successful.

That guy actually almost killed people.

This one didn't.

This one didn't.

And we didn't say that when we could have with the Bernie Sanders guy.

And, you know, there's a couple reasons why.

Number one, this stuff happens.

Right-wing people do crazy things too.

There's plenty of them on the right as well.

There are plenty of.

Crazy does not go to one party.

When you get to these fringe levels, there are people on both sides who do it.

There's an ideology, and we've talked a lot about this, that affects many on the very harsh left, going back to examples like Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground, and we saw this with Occupy Wall Street, where there's some ideological reasons why certain types of violence come from the left more often.

But still, there's crazy people all over the spectrum.

You just, A, you don't want to do it because your site's probably going to do something dumb later and you're going to get blamed for it.

But beyond that, it's just correct.

When people, people are responsible for their own actions.

When you are an individual, you act as an individual, and the person who says something that you listen to is not responsible for how you take that information and how you deal with it.

Not to mention, it

may have nothing to do with that at all.

You know, just because you happen to be,

he happens to be a Trump supporter, does that

make it Trump's fault that he's doing these terrible things?

No.

And the same thing would apply as it did apply to a Bernie Sanders, by the way, not just a fan, but campaign volunteer.

who's actually working to get the guy elected who then went and tried to shoot 25 Republicans on a baseball field.

But it is not Bernie Sanders' fault at all.

It's not his fault.

At all.

Not his fault.

Zero percent.

And the same thing would apply here if this is how this thing turns out.

I will tell you.

There is more to find out.

I will tell you this.

Think how fortunate we are

in a couple of things.

Go back to the bombing of the bridge in Cleveland.

Do you remember about that?

You remember that?

Do you even remember it?

Anybody?

Bueller?

Bueller?

You remember when Occupy Wall Street was caught by the FBI on their way to the bridge?

I think they had part of it even wired.

Did they have any of it wired?

But they were going to blow up a bridge in Cleveland.

And they had the capability of doing it.

And thank God the FBI caught them.

But that never made any news.

You know, it would have made huge news if the Tea Party would have been doing that.

Right, of course.

But they didn't, they, you know, Occupy Wall Street, oh, those are just crazy kids.

You know, they're just, they're in the Scooby-Doo van.

They're just crazy kids.

But think how fortunate we are that that didn't happen, how that could have torn us apart.

Think about the blessings that not a single bomb went off.

That this guy may have been so damn crazy that he really thought,

well, I don't have any gunpowder, but I'm pretty sure sand gets hot.

You know, this guy is, I mean, you want to talk about incompetent.

How fortunate we are

that none of these bombs went off.

If any of these bombs would have gone off and hurt or killed or maimed people from the other side,

the world would be a different place today.

The media would be going crazy because look at how they're going crazy now.

Well,

good news.

Looks like we may have caught the guy.

Yeah, it's interesting.

Now they're starting to, you know, we're getting to that point where people are starting to share pictures of what appears to be the van, which does appear to be very pro-Trump, also very pro-soccer.

It's an odd combination of things to be.

I would not assume Don's a big soccer fan, but who knows?

But

we'll see if these things check out.

Again, everyone.

Trusted soccer people.

Well, we've said, how long have we said that?

I think we blame the World World Cup.

World Cup.

Oh my gosh, the World Cup.

Putin, there it is.

Oh my gosh.

There it is.

It all goes back to the Trump Tower and the meeting with Putin's allies.

Get this to Mueller immediately.

Get it right away.

All right.

Might be hard to find good craftsmanship in people who actually care about their jobs, but simply safe, they do.

Man, they care about it.

They care so much about making a beautiful and functional device that will keep your family safe.

They wanted to find a way to make it really, really super small.

So

you barely even see it.

They wanted to make something that wasn't hardwired, something that you could afford, that would be a lot cheaper than what you're paying for if you go to one of these other places.

And it would work.

Even if you took a

baseball bat to it, it's still going to call the police or fire or whatever.

Well, they've done it.

It's simply safe.

Simplysafebeck.com.

I want you to go there.

I want you to see how much money you're going to save

if you do SimplySafe as opposed to one of the

other security companies.

These security companies, honestly, and

I don't want to say, I mean, it's just the way business was done, but

it could be said that they were really ripping us off by overcharging us.

But that's what everybody was charging until SimplySafe came.

Now you'll see exactly how much that security system should have cost you all of these years.

You own the system.

You can take it with you.

If you live in an apartment, you want to put it in your office.

You want to have it at your home, whatever.

You own it.

And you can upgrade it at any time if you want to.

If you go to another place and you need to expand it, it happens.

Also, you don't have a contract.

So if you want

the monitoring, 24-7 monitoring, so they can call police or fire, whatever, you can do that.

And you can do it this month and not do it next month.

There's no contract.

contract and it's $14.99

a month.

$14.99 a month.

It's at simply safebeck.com.

That's simply safebeck.com.

All right, so looks like we have

Let's

looks like we have

arrested a guy with a van.

It does look like he is a

disturbed individual with a lot of Donald Trump stuff on his van.

But, you know, let's wait for information.

You know,

there were people who said

on the right, false flags.

There were those on the left that said it was a conservative.

We've said the whole time, let's wait for information, might be a crazy guy.

Might be.

It's always amazing, too, to say a lot of people will make a prediction with no evidence on something like this, right?

They'll say, oh, it was a right-winger, or it was a left-winger.

And then when it turns out to be one of those two, they claim victory as if what they did was a good idea.

No, it wasn't.

That's not a good idea.

You know, the fact that you come out and you say you blame the right with no evidence, and then it turns out to be someone on the right, that doesn't make you

good,

right?

Like, that's

I just

I just read a comment from somebody that said, this van looks like what Steve Bannon would turn into if he was a transformer.

Oh, man.

That is a fantastic line.

That isn't that great.

Oh,

that's funny.

That is not a bad description, though, of what you would expect.

No, it's not.

Again, it's, you know, what do you do here with these things?

It does,

at the very least, it's at least we can hopefully avoid any injury.

Remember, there's been literally nothing that's happened with these.

It's been a big media spectacle, but, you know, much less of a media spectacle than what happened when Trump and others, Mattis and others in the government, received white powder in the mail last week or two weeks ago.

So, you know, obviously we know why it's a bigger, a bigger deal now.

Number one, it was a media member specifically that was targeting this with CNN getting one of the packages.

And number two, obviously

the chance to kind of blame this broadly against the right is going to be something the media is going to take advantage of, if it's at all possible.

But we don't know yet.

And we'll find out from this person to see if they were, you know, how serious the attempt was.

And when we look at the bomb construction, we'll find that out.

And we always always find this, you know, it's you want more information quickly, but getting the right information and making sure you know what's going on is always a better choice.

And

let's also remember that we did not condemn Bernie Sanders for the shooter.

Bernie Sanders was not responsible for that.

The crazy guy who did it was.

Let's expect and demand the same respect.
