8/11/17 - A change of perspective ( Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn)

The Blaze Radio Network

on demand

lots to talk about today.

We need to tell you the latest from Google.

They have just canceled an all-hands-on-deck discussion about that memo.

Apparently, they think that might go poorly for them, so they have just

canceled that meeting.

We want to talk to you a little bit about

Bill O'Reilly and bill o'reilly's new tv show bill o'reilly that the press on this is absolutely stunning he's going to be joining us next hour and let's give you your quick update here on north korea and war a government-run chinese newspaper said yesterday that china is going to stay neutral if North Korea attacks the United States.

But if the United States goes for a first strike, they will side with North Korea and will move to stop us.

Good.

Could China stop us?

Well,

yeah.

It's been over 60 years since we have clashed with theirs, but U.S.

troops have gotten the better of the Chinese forces that poured across the border in the Korean War.

But things have changed for both sides.

As the media strangely and perversely tries to push President Trump towards a confrontation or even a nuclear strike in North Korea, the rest of us need to be pushing for calm and diplomacy.

The president claimed over and over and over again that he is a great negotiator.

He can get us the greatest deal.

Well, if that's true, there has never been a time when those skills would come in more handy than right now.

What America does not need is a war with North Korea, and we certainly don't need a war with our biggest investor and a standing army of 2.3 million people, another 1.1 reserved, and the ability to call up 100 million more.

And of course,

I feel like I have to remind the press, but not the American people.

Every American knows and understands the insanity of exchanging nuclear blows.

Apart from the catastrophic loss of life and the escalation of war, the likes of which the world has never seen.

It would bring economic disaster.

And in case somebody on the left coast happens to be listening to this, imagine the damage for climate change.

Every elected official and every media source should be shouting the devastating effects from the rooftops.

And if they're not, find yourself a new politician or a new party to follow and find a new media source and do that right now.

I will beat my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So, because of a fear of leaks,

Google has canceled its all-hands-on meeting over the engineer firing fiasco.

What is happening in tech?

What is happening in Silicon Valley?

Jeffy,

did you look up Abraham Lincoln for me today?

Did you Google him?

Can you bring that over to me?

I want to see what

does Google say about Abraham.

What does Google say about Abraham Lincoln?

I want everybody to Google right now Abraham Lincoln.

What does Google say about Abraham Lincoln?

Now, of course, they're going to give you the whitehouse.gov and the Wikipedia page, but over on the right, you'll see Abraham Lincoln, 16th president.

You see that?

This is the information provided by Google.

Abraham Lincoln was the American politician and lawyer who served as the 16th president of the United States from March 1861 to assassination in 1865.

Born February 12, 1809, height 6'4, assassinated April 15th.

Party.

The National Union Party.

Wait, what?

What?

Hang on.

He's what?

He's the...

Huh?

The National Union Party?

I've not heard of the National Union Party.

You want to know the effects of Google.

There it is.

Unbelievable.

There it is.

Google is the portal for all information.

When Google decides we're going to change that information, it's changed.

And who are they going to?

Who are your kids going to believe?

You or Google?

When I saw that yesterday, I thought

There is no more important thing than the preservation of the documents that we are preserving right now at Mercury One.

There is nothing more important.

You want to talk about

clay pots.

You remember 12, 15 years ago, I started hearing

in my prayers, clay pots.

When it comes to history, clay pots.

And I wondered, is it for our children?

And the answer is yes.

Is it for the preservation of those documents like the clay pots to me refer to the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Once the Nicene Creed was adopted and everybody said,

this is Christology, this is what the Bible says, and nothing more,

the Dead Sea Scrolls became very important.

Quick.

Roll up everything you have and put them in clay pots and bury them deep in caves where no one will find them because they're all going to be destroyed

because

the early church wanted no dissent

and the way you have to you have to destroy the documents

that has never become more important than education for our children

So they know it, but they have to know it with the actual documents because I'm sorry I've never heard of the National Union Party

can somebody tell me I'm gonna google I'm just gonna click on it National Union Party yeah it's what it's the Republican Party it's what they called themselves during that election yeah yeah it's Republican

party the name used by the Republican Party now how many are how many are going to say the National Union Party so so you know

correct

Correct.

I've never heard it referred to as that.

I haven't either.

No.

So,

I guess it's correct.

Uh-huh.

Or is it one of those facts that most people, because they don't do their own homework, they'll look down here.

Oh, Abraham Lincoln was not a Republican.

He's not a Republican.

The Republicans took over after Abraham Lincoln.

That's exactly what's coming.

That's exactly what's coming.

And you know who's going to do it?

Not the stupid people,

but the people who are in direct control of our universities and

the people who control the portal of information.

Google should have every libertarian, every

classic liberal and quite honestly, every liberal running for the hills

they should you want to talk about a takeover of a corporation and making the United States into just one giant corporation I'll tell you it's the circle it's Apple it's Google

it's what's the it's Amazon

you we're going to be controlled by four corporations

I know that sounds like a conspiracy theory.

How are you going to fight

the person who has the keys to the library?

If the librarian says to your student,

the road to serfdom, that doesn't exist.

Oh, you're thinking of the road to serfdom.

That road to serfdom?

That was

a nickname for Adam Smith's book, Wealth of Nations, because it actually just turns you into a slave.

Now, we don't have a copy of Wealth of Nations.

It was discredited a long time ago, but I have some papers here that you can read about it.

How hard is that?

Now, you're taking that, I'm obviously taking that to the nth degree,

but may I just say

that

the nth degree

has passed a long time ago.

The nth degree has

I mean when we are,

when I'm not leading the show with, did you see the picture of Chelsea Manning in the swimsuit on the beach?

And no, unfortunately, I did not.

Oh, no, in Vanity Fair, where they called her

a stunning American beauty.

Oh, my God.

I think you would agree, Pat.

I'd like to

see it.

A stunning American traitor, sure.

A stunning American beauty?

Go ahead.

Go to Glennbeck.com right now.

Picture is up there.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

What the hell is this?

So don't tell me that anything is insane anymore.

We're there.

We're there.

We are so far over the cliff.

And by the way,

I actually, when I saw that last night, I thought, I've got to call Don.

I got to call Don Imus.

Because

I wonder.

I have a terrible instinct.

Oh, I know.

No, no, no.

You ready?

That was my next thought.

I wonder if Don would even say anything anymore.

I wonder what the blowback would be for me to put Don Imus on, who says, American beauty?

Fill in the rest of the Don Imus monologue.

You can't have that opinion anymore.

Let me go back to Google for a second.

You go back to Google and you look at what

Why are the why are women upset?

Women are upset because quite honestly their new slave owners, the progressive movement, is telling them they're nothing without them.

Without this education, without us clearing the path,

you don't you're so stupid you don't even know you're oppressed you're so stupid that

without us you'll never make it i want to play something

that happened last night i took phone calls and this guy calls in and my first reaction as a broadcaster is

how is this my first phone call because He is obviously not a good speaker.

How is this my first phone call?

Why would they put him as number one to take right out of the gates?

And then

I listened to him.

Listen to this.

Okay,

I don't want to take up too much of your time.

I know

that

it's not don't have a lot.

So

going over what your whole screen, what your whole screen, I don't want to go into all of it, but

I was diagnosed with autism and OCD at 15 years old.

And

I've spent, you know, and I've came across you in 2009-ish or so.

So I was, you know, 18, 19.

And

you being a presence in my daily life, a part of my life daily has helped me become the man I am today.

You being there and a daily presence, and I have gone on to do things that people never thought possible, that it didn't, this and that, I could never accomplish or do because of my disorder.

They always viewed me as my disease or my disorder rather than as Kevin, as a person.

And so I've been a part

of your program for nine, ten years.

And it's what's kept me going on.

It's what's kept me moving and and going and doing things it's and and and I've gone on to uh

I now independently live live on my own I I I drive my own car I I've gone I've gone I go to college I'm in my second year of college with a grade point average of 4.0

and and I I've I've been able

the god's honest truth is if you had not been a part of my life your program your inspiration your empowerment I would not be where I am today.

There are so

many places to take that.

But let me just start with this one.

I never told Kevin he wasn't his disease.

I've never,

that's not,

I

never did shows on autism or OCD or any of that.

Kevin, somehow or another heard that from me.

Kevin chose

to stop being his disease,

in his words, and be Kevin.

That is a story that should haunt all of us.

all day long on multiple fronts, but just this one.

I'm so upset about that memo about women I'm so tired of people telling me that I can't make who cares what the world tells you

the world is always wrong

they've always told strong people they can't do it they always pick the losers or the bad guys They do everything they can to stop the good guys.

Who cares what the world tells you?

it's what you tell you

if you believe you can't do it

then you won't

who do you need who do you need to tell you that you are great

that you can make it that you can accomplish it who do you need

Who do you need more important than you?

A miracle is nothing more than a change of perspective.

There's no miracles in Kevin's life except that one thing.

He started to believe I have value, I have worth, and I can do it no matter what anyone else says.

Can we please stop arguing about the Google message

memo?

Can we please call BS on all of this nonsense?

You were born with absolutely everything

you need.

You're a slave to your own thoughts.

Trust me, I know.

I know how it works.

The most powerful sentence,

the two most powerful words in all of language,

I am.

What follows that?

I am my disease.

Or I am Kevin.

I am successful.

I am smart.

I am capable.

It's you that decides.

And all the rest of it is bull crap and an excuse.

Choose who you're going to be and do it today.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck.

Trying to say here.

All right.

Welcome to the program.

We're glad you're here.

People are now starting to send us all kinds of things.

Oh yeah, you think that's bad with Google?

Try this.

We know the problem.

Now what's the solution?

Educating ourselves, knowing the truth, the uncomfortable truth, the worst of us and the best of us.

Know those things.

Bury it deep inside.

The Glenn Beck program.

And know it's true.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right.

A couple of things I want to talk about.

We need to get everything off of our desk today, guys.

It's Friday, so let's get let's just start going through the stories that we may have missed this week.

Did you see the two teenage girls that put the crying baby in the refrigerator?

See the video of this?

No.

Okay, so

two teenage babysitters, they're from Massachusetts.

They've been arrested and charged with child endangerment and assault.

The baby was crying, and so they opened the refrigerator door, and apparently it's one of those with the window in it that you can see.

And they just put the baby in the shelf, you know, to cool down.

And they're laughing and

they're smart enough to take a video of this abuse.

And

they're laughing about it and

post it, post it.

So what happens?

Well, they're arrested.

How mad would you be as a mom?

All right.

How mad would you be as a dad?

Well,

mom is defending the girls because one of the girls is a niece and she's like, hey, she didn't mean it.

You know, they weren't trying to be mean to the baby.

They just thought it would be funny.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Wow.

And, you know, I'm just not going to have her babysit again.

Well, yeah, that would be a good start, mom.

That would be a really good start.

I guess I'm not going to have them babysit again.

Can you imagine what your wife would say?

I mean, my wife would start with, honey, don't, don't, don't, don't,

walk away.

That's the first thing that my wife would have to say because I would be out of my mind.

My wife would not say, well, we're not going to hire them again.

Also, there's another

story.

This one comes from WSB-TV.

Gwinnett County father says his seven-year-old daughter made it to school, but she never made it to her after-school program for hours.

Sean Harris said he had no idea who had his child until his phone rang and her voice was on the other end.

Pure anxiety.

I was in disbelief that this could even happen.

What happened?

Department of Family and Children Services came and

took the child out of school, needed to question

without the parents' knowledge at all,

until they realized, oops, we have the wrong girl.

She called and said, oh, the state took me out and was questioning me.

And then they realized they had the wrong person.

And so

they allowed

me to call

you, my dad.

Again, it would be another lecture from my wife.

Honey, no, don't, no, don't.

As a dad

and as a mom,

your child is just disappeared from school.

And because it's the state, the school doesn't tell you that.

Your child's just gone.

Imagine the terror that you are going through as a parent for hours.

And

we have him on.

Sean Harris is going to be on with us in hour number three.

I'm wondering how much he's suing for.

And it's not about money.

It's about making sure that that doesn't happen to anyone.

How can the state go in and just take your child?

Oops, made a mistake.

Oh, my God.

Even if it wasn't a mistake.

Even if it wasn't a mistake, no, it doesn't matter.

It makes it worse because it just shows how incompetent.

Really?

You're the protector of my child and you picked the wrong child?

Oh, yeah.

Sit down.

It's infuriating.

What percentage of the conversations you have with your wife would you say have some variation of please don't say what you're about to say?

80 85

does seem like this is a common refrain

probably

about 50 percent yeah only 50 yeah okay yeah

yeah well we don't go out as much as we used to so we're not just out in public like we used to you know where there's lots of people who are just we're just getting to know each other

doesn't happen as much anymore no you know men probably by design her design but um

a lot of times.

Because I don't think that dynamic is the same.

Like, I think Pat's relate.

I think mine for sure, and I think maybe Pat's might be the opposite, where like I'm constantly saying to Lisa, no, you don't need to, you don't need to do that.

Just, just, just, we'll, we'll deal with that later.

You don't need to put that note on the car who parked next to you.

Don't worry about it.

Like, I never let it go.

I don't, I don't insert myself into,

you know, somebody parked wrong, somebody did.

I don't insert myself in there.

But if I'm sitting at a table, I get, I mean, my shins, it's, I mean, I need like a titanium shin, uh,

shin, titanium shin

because I've been kicked in the shin so many times by my wife.

I mean,

there's two things that you hear having dinner with the backs.

You will hear,

if she just, at the very end, you will hear, honey,

just leave it alone.

No, you know, hey, you know, I think, well, let's, hey, did anybody see the new movie?

You'll hear that.

But before that, you'll hear about three minutes of, ow, ow, from me.

Ow, stop kicking me.

Stop.

She's poking me.

We look like, you know, like we're 12.

She's poking me.

She's poking me to say, shut up.

And so the movie thing is when you're changing topics, you're trying to.

Yeah, she's not me.

That's her.

That's her saying, hey, hey, look, squirrel.

And then 30 seconds after that, she's kicking you in the shin again because you've given a spoiler to the movie and have now ruined it for everyone else.

No, it has nothing to do with the movies.

You know, I just, I am not going to play, I'm not going to play the PC game.

I'm not going to, especially if it's on my time and it's my, you know, my time out and, you know, I want to be with my friends and I want to,

I'm not going to play that game.

I'm not going to play that game.

If I'm at somebody's wedding,

I'm going to be the most polite and I'm going to endure all of it.

Well, the first eight to 12 minutes of it until you duck out the back door.

But yes, you'll be there for years.

While you're there.

While I am there, I'm going to be the most polite.

If I'm at somebody's house,

I am a...

pleasant guest.

You're at my house, which, by the way, I'm not kidding you, my wife has banned all guests from our our house.

She's like, no one is coming to our house anymore.

Explain why.

I'm like,

wow.

Well, you've been on that list because we have security and they run everybody's background.

So, you know,

if you're coming out with us,

then, you know,

you're rolling with us.

And if you say bullcrap, I'm going to say that's bullcrap and you know it.

Is that normal?

Because I feel like, especially with the job that we do, I am much less probably politically correct here than I am outside of here.

Like we're here, I feel like, you know what?

My job is to say everything that I want to say, no matter what the consequences are.

Here's the thing.

I'm at dinner.

That's not what I'm doing.

I'm talking to a guy.

No, I'm just saying I'd have no tolerance for bullcrap.

I'm going to say, I'm not going to bring it up, but I'm also not going to let you live in some fantasy world where you think, yeah, right, right, am I right?

No, you're not right.

You're an imbecile.

That's dinner with you.

If you're an imbecile, yes.

I'm sorry, you're not right,

period.

And I mean, unless your source is Wikipedia and Google, then we'll have a talk.

But

I'm not like that.

Like last night we were

at the kids' new school, and it was you know parent teacher night

so that was fun yes it was people love seeing you come through that oh my gosh teachers love me uh so i was sitting with the principal of the school which was really great because she had absolutely no idea who i was she's running a school she has no clue

And so I got some real information.

She treated me like a regular human being, which was wonderful.

And so we start.

Now, this is when, this is a couple months ago when we were interviewing schools.

And so we start, and I sit down, and this is the second interview.

Tanya went for the first one, and then I went, you know, because I said, I've got some questions.

And Tanya's like, no, don't, don't, don't.

And so I sit down and I said, she said, nice to meet you.

It's great to have you here.

Your wife said that you might have some questions.

And I said,

yeah, first, let me just start here.

I'm a Mormon.

And she went,

oh,

okay.

And I said, let it rip.

Go ahead.

You're a Christian school.

Go ahead.

And she's like, what?

I don't know.

And I said,

I've gone to several schools here, and they're all Christians, and they all say the same thing.

Oh, no, we have no.

And then after my kids get excited about going to that school, then you, all of a sudden, because people are like, oh, we can't have a Mormon here.

They're they're witches.

So go ahead, what's going to happen?

And she's like,

nothing.

And I said,

so what are you going to

will you stop people from bullying my children?

Because, and she said, my gosh, what experience have you had?

And I told her, and she's like, okay, none of that is going to happen here.

And I was like, okay, good, I believe you.

And I said,

do you, do you, do you know what I do for a living?

And she said,

no.

And I said, oh, great.

Can I talk to you about history?

And she said,

sure.

And I said, tell me about this person.

Tell me about this person.

How is the view of America?

And she told me her view of America.

And she said, you're probably going to have a problem with this, but there's a couple of things that I hold strongly to.

One, that America is not the golden land of opportunity that you find in, you know, all the fairy tale histories, but it is certainly not the

evil America that you now find that is prevalent in all universities and all textbooks because of the progressive movement.

And I said,

we're done.

Okay, I'm good.

So, but last night we went.

And

I was not,

when I'm in a group of people, I'm quiet and don't say anything.

And,

you know, when it's appropriate to be that person where you're just quiet and shy, I don't need to turn tables over.

That's ridiculous.

But you need to stand up when it's time to stand up.

Did you ask them after

which side of the school has the flying broom drop-off area for your witch children?

No, strangely, they pointed that out to me last night, and they were like, and here's where the Mormon creatures are going to sit.

But at this point, living in Texas, after all the other school experiences, I was like, oh, oh, we got our own area?

Nice.

We have our own area, and they're only calling us creatures.

This is great.

And now, this: when you leave your home this summer for vacation, leave with a sense of security, knowing that your home is safe.

While you're away, somebody's watching it, and it's only costing you $14.99

a month pretty good

right now simply safe can put a security system into your home and when I say put a security system in your home

well what

I am a horrible wordsmith I don't know how I'm successful at all they don't come and put it in You order it online.

You know how many windows and doors you have.

You can count.

You don't need some

salesman coming to your house and an upselling you.

You certainly, in a world of Bluetooth and wireless, you certainly don't need somebody to come in and put wires through your wall.

And here's another idea.

I sell my house.

I can take the security system with me.

I live in an apartment.

I can have and own the security system.

And I'm not paying a huge fee for that security every single month, flushing it down the toilet.

SimplySafe has a summer special that is happening right now that you'll save $100 $100 off.

Now, this is the same security system that my children have.

We have in their house, and I helped install it.

And when I say I helped, I mean I sat down on the couch and I watched my son-in-law do it.

But it took about a half an hour.

It's really easy.

That's in the days when it had instruction manuals.

Now you take it out in the base station, you plug it in, turn it on, and it says,

do step one.

And it takes you and walks you through it.

And I don't know, it might just be the one that, you know, they would send to me that would say, no, dummy, I didn't say do that now, did I?

I said do this.

But it walks you through.

You own the system.

There's no contracts.

It's top of the line.

And you're not going to believe how inexpensive it is, especially if you've ever bought security from like, you know, ADS or whatever that is.

You buy those systems and it's a fortune.

No.

That's the old system.

This is the new technology to keep you, your family, and all your stuff safe when you're at home, when you're away.

This call.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So Bill O'Reilly is coming up next, and I really would love to hear his take on this.

Jeffrey Lord is a guy who I don't like at all.

I don't find his commentary worthwhile.

I think he is just a shill.

I don't like him at all.

He was fired from CNN yesterday, and it's outrageous

what they've done to him.

Again, I don't like his opinion.

I don't ever watch his opinion.

I think you can fire him for other reasons like he stinks,

but not for the reason they fired him.

And we'll get into that at the very top of the discussion with Bill O'Reilly.

It is outrageous.

And if you don't think that we are, if you think that,

oh no, we're making all kinds of progress and this administration is really turning.

No, no, they're not.

Nothing has changed from the left.

They are silencing any voices of dissent.

What happened this week at Google is fascistic.

What is happening now at CNN is fascistic.

And if your media source is not telling you that, get a new one.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

Bill O'Reilly.

He started his own news show, The No Spin News.

He's announced that he's going to be on CNN.

And do we have him even on yet?

Or is it

on now?

Because I thought maybe he was getting too big for the program.

I wasn't sure.

Bill O'Reilly, we have a ton to discuss, and we begin right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

BillO'Reilly.com,

Probably one of the more brilliant business people.

Definitely one of the more brilliant people when it comes to how to do a show and what people are thinking.

Bill O'Reilly.

Now at billorilly.com, he has his own show.

It's a half-hour news show

every day, and you can find it at billorilly.com.

He started it earlier this week.

It's really good.

There's not a lot has changed with Bill O'Reilly.

Just the background has changed.

And we'll talk to him about that.

I want to start here, Bill, with something that really bothers me.

And that is the firing of, what's his name?

Jeremy Lyons?

Jeff Jeffrey?

No, what's his name?

Jeffrey Lord.

Jeffrey Lord.

That's what it is.

That's how much I care about this guy.

I actually care about his firing.

I think he is horrible.

I think he is one of the worst commentators on CNN.

I think he's just a total sellout.

However, they fired him because he got into a Twitter spat with Media Matters.

And Media Matters is starting a campaign again to get people fired, get them thrown off.

And he said, what you're doing is fascistic in nature.

This is fascism.

And they tweeted something back and he wrote Ziegheil.

CNN fires him almost immediately because they say Nazi salutes are absolutely we will not tolerate the indefensible.

Are you kidding me?

So now he's out.

Bill.

Yeah, I mean, look, anybody, and I mean anybody,

knows that this firing

was political.

It wasn't for cause.

It wasn't because he did anything outrageous.

I mean, you can debate all day long whether Nazi analogy should be used in any kind of discourse, but it clearly falls under freedom of speech.

And he was making a contextual point, which is accurate, by the way, that Media Matters is a fascist organization.

It is.

And then when the president of Media Matters struck back at him, he, in a wise guy fashion, went Sieg Heil.

So what?

Who does that offend?

Media Matters?

So what?

So they were looking to dump them, and this gave them the opportunity to do it.

That's the only thing I can figure out.

Okay, so Bill, let me ⁇ that's maybe a little bit better than what I thought, but not by much.

Are you saying that they only use Media Matters as a cover?

Because, I mean, why not fire him?

Because we don't want him around.

We don't like him.

If he were a valued employee, they certainly wouldn't have done that.

Because,

look, if Jeffrey Lord, I don't know what his contractual situation is, but he has an actionable

violation of contract sued against CNN.

You can't do that.

He didn't do anything out of the ordinary in the sense of exercising his freedom of speech to slap back at an organization that he feels is fascistic.

So it's got to be something else.

I don't know

whether he even had a contract.

But it looks to me, and I've been in this business almost as long as you have since the War of 1812, Beck, which you mentioned last week on your program.

It looks to me like they just want to get rid of the guy, and this was a convenient way to do it.

So, Bill, doesn't this not empower Media Matters

like crazy?

It does.

But Media Matters is in bed with all these people.

I mean, Media Matters doesn't attack CNN

ever.

Media Matters doesn't, well, let me amend that.

If CNN put on a conservative like you or me, maybe maybe Media Matters would attack, but they don't attack their editorial posture.

They don't attack NBC.

They don't very rarely attack the networks.

They only attack people with whom they disagree politically, which is anybody, moderate or right.

You've got to be a far-left loon to be in their cadre.

So we found a Media Matters plan of attack, and we're going to be going over it in the next couple of weeks with our audience.

It is their plan.

We found it on the dark web.

And

yeah, I mean,

who even puts their stuff on the dark web?

Seriously, who does that?

Criminals.

I mean, why would evil people?

Why are you putting stuff on the dark web?

So

in it, it talks about how they are now consulting with Google.

They're now consulting with Facebook.

They're trying to tell YouTube and Google and Facebook exactly what is offensive, what isn't.

They're coming in as these moderate arbiters.

This organization, these are the people that orchestrated the sponsor attacks against me and you.

They organized the demonstrations in front of Fox.

They've got money.

They pay people.

They're awful.

They're anti-democracy.

And I hope you guys, you know, I listen when I can, but when you get stuff, send it to me because we're certainly looking at these people hard, these media matters people.

I'll send you the second thing.

You know what the worst part about this is?

The worst part about it is these people were so closely allied with Hillary Clinton.

David Brock, who's the founder of this, was Clinton's consigliere.

If Clinton had ever been elected president, these people would be in the White House, these media matters.

And

I can't tell your audience strongly enough how vicious and vile and anti-democratic they are.

Actually, I want to correct you on one thing.

They are going to win after win after win because the media will never take them on because the media sympathizes with their far-left posture.

Okay, I want to correct you on one thing.

They're absolutely pro-democratic, which

in the meaning of all we want is a popular vote and majority wins.

I mean, that is, you know,

remember, Chavez was also very democratic.

Freedom of speech.

Yes, you're right.

They don't believe in freedom of speech.

Correct.

They operate in the shadows, on the dark web.

They try to hurt people.

Yes.

They try to destroy people.

This is not what our democracy is supposed to be about.

It was the most vicious, vile political organization in existence.

Yes.

And they have power.

So tell me.

Tell me how you feel about what happened at Google this week with that firing.

You know, I didn't follow it that much because I'm not really into that world of, and I know

they're super powerful and all of that,

but I'm more interested in the political component of this rather than once you get into Google and Facebook and all of these organizations, you get into corporations.

They're corporations.

I mean, they may not wear ties and they may give you kale for lunch,

but it's the same corporation.

Right.

Well, but that's kind of what I want to talk to you about.

As I said earlier this week, look, if Firestone or Goodyear was doing this, I wouldn't care.

But

this is the gateway to information.

We had this week a report was released that Apple has $58 billion in U.S.

Treasury bonds.

That's more than most foreign countries will hold.

That gives that corporation real leverage on Capitol Hill.

You know what?

Maybe we should just liquidate our government bonds because

that's why we worry about foreign countries holding our bonds.

Are these corporations that the left loves

are they becoming worrisome at all to you, Bill?

That's an interesting question.

They are very, very powerful agents, and they control now most of the information flow.

And with the destruction of cable news, and that's coming very, very fast.

Very fast.

Talk radio pretty much is the only counter

to

the Internet information flow, which is not an honest situation.

So yes, it's dangerous.

I'm not so concerned about them holding bonds,

although, yeah, I mean, I guess down the line, they could do a blackmail thing.

You better do what we want, or we're going to liquidate, or something.

I see what you're saying.

Yeah,

it's not like the top of my concerns, but it is, but it is a part of it.

It's like, wait a minute, these guys are getting really powerful.

They are very powerful, but there's nothing you can do about that in a capitalistic society.

The more successful corporations become, more powerful they become.

You can expose it.

You can tell the folks what's going on.

And you would expect

the information flow they're getting is not honest.

And you can expect...

It's certainly noble, but you can't stop them from accumulating assets.

No, but you can start to say

to our representatives, I don't want you in bed with these people.

There's no special favors for these people.

Right.

So, Bill, I'm going to take a break, and then

we have a ton to talk about the news of this week, but I actually would like to pick your brain, honestly,

because

I have tremendous respect for you, as you know,

on multiple fronts.

But one of them is you are a very shrewd businessman.

You're very smart.

You took every show.

You know, I run on passion and gut and feelings, and you are much more of a scientific kind of guy.

And

you've made a brilliant move this week in not going, running to somebody else and saying, okay, I'll fall under your umbrella.

You're doing it yourself.

I want to talk to you about the future of cable news.

I want to talk to you about the future of information.

It's fascinating what's happening.

It really is.

It really is.

And nobody's talking about it.

So your audience is going to get a lot of information fast

after these announcements of interest.

Wow.

Wow.

Thank you.

All right.

Back in just a second with Bill O'Reilly from billorilly.com.

Let me tell you about gold line.

Tensions between the U.S.

and North Korea are increasing.

And

just what happened yesterday,

I will tell you that Donald Trump

could go down with North Korea

as

Ronald Reagan went down with

communism.

He may be playing a game

that is

quite brilliant.

And I'm praying that that is the game that we are playing.

It could end another way,

but I'm hoping that he has learned from the past with Ronald Reagan that you do not tolerate, you

lay down the law, and then hopefully things work out peacefully.

I don't know.

But I will tell you this.

Markets are historically bad at appropriately pricing this kind of uh risk when you see this on the horizon people are already starting to get skittish they don't know what what was the thing you brought up today pat about uh about uh jim rogers what what he said oh yeah that he he thinks uh

the biggest collapse in his lifetime is coming in the next year yeah he was born right after the great depression um and jim rogers so so you know,

you know, he worked, he started the hedge fund with George Soros.

So this guy knows how Soros works.

He knows how foreign markets work.

This is a brilliant investor.

Some experts are saying now that just 5% to 10% of your portfolio being in physical gold would be a very good thing.

I believe 10% of whatever you own and have in savings or 401k

being in gold

really smart because

I don't know what's coming.

Gold, goldline, read their exclusive report available for free, the five threats to the economy written by President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman.

And for as little as $2,500, you'll get three months of price protection, meaning if the price of gold goes down in three months, they'll make it up so you don't lose a penny, all the way up to a year for a $25,000 investment.

Make sure you read their important risk information.

Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

Glenn Beck Program.

Triple 8727 back.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

So I want to go to Bill O'Reilly from billorilly.com, who just started his news program, the No Spin News.

Every day you can see it and you can watch it at billorilly.com.

Bill, let's switch gears.

I'd kind of like some advice from you and pick your brain.

What we did six years ago when I left Fox and I built the Blaze and the first OTT model around this,

everyone said, Glenn, no one will watch this on the internet.

They're not going to watch it on the phone.

They want it on this.

That's why, honestly, we spent as much money as we did to make my network look,

quite honestly, the model was MSNBC.

If it can't look as good as NBC in visuals, then people won't expect it or won't accept it.

Those days are over.

We've laid the groundwork and the rails and now you are the first one to come out as

a really big guy and say, okay,

I'm going to go and do this model and I'm going to do it by myself.

I don't need to join a network or whatever.

I'm going to do do it by myself.

How long before, Bill, this becomes the absolute norm?

You know, it's hard to say.

Our blueprint is that we want to deliver on a daily basis

30 to 40 minutes of honest news analysis, honest in the sense that it's fact-based.

And we're going to do that.

And so we did a prototype this week on billorilly.com where I was in a studio in a spiffy jacket jacket and tie and we had guests by via Skype

and it went very well.

I mean it looked good.

People liked it.

We have it up now billorilly.com.

Anybody can see the prototype and

it was tough.

It was tough analysis.

Talk about North Korea and stuff like that.

Now we haven't decided exactly when we're going to launch

this on a daily basis because we're doing our podcast from my home office now and it's working very, very well.

But it's going to happen.

And even if I decide to come back to cable TV,

we'll still do

this 30 to 40 minutes per day because we don't want any, I'm sorry about that.

Oh my gosh.

That's enthusiasm.

enthusiasm from the Bill's head rider community.

Yeah.

Anyway,

we don't want any intrusion,

corporate intrusion, or media matters intrusion, or threats, or any of that.

We want to control the product as you do.

Right, so you can control

this prototype that we put out is going to take root, and I think it's going to be very successful.

The reason this is necessary, this is the key to it all,

is because there's been a profound change in cable news.

And as we discussed in previous episodes of the Beck program,

network news is largely irrelevant now.

Remember Scott Pelley, the anchor of CBS News?

No, neither does he.

Packed it in,

and nobody even knew.

Yeah.

I mean, nobody even said a word.

It was like, poor Scott, he was here six years on every night he was taking Walter Crockey's seat and he's out of there and nobody even cares.

That's how irrelevant the nightly news is.

The morning is entertainment.

So when cable news starts then to change, fundamentally change, not into a news service anymore, they're not a news service, they're basically a party

apparatus.

So MSNBC CNN, they're a Democratic party apparatus, and Fox News to some extent, not to the extent of the others, reflects a Republican point of view.

Well, where do Americans go for the truth, for people seeking the truth and not having a vested interest in one political party or one political philosophy?

There's nowhere to go.

So that this, in a capitalistic society, this

blaze, the Beck Blaze, O'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com, this now presents a very, very attractive alternative to millions of Americans who love their country and want to know about it in a truthful way.

Bill,

you're stunned at that announcement.

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

No, I was actually absolutely stunned.

It's so right on.

Nobody has ever talked that way to you.

I was actually hoping for a deeper insight.

Why don't you put the dog on the phone?

All right, when we come back,

when we come back, we're going to have to go over the strategy of North Korea, how Bill thinks that is going, where that ends up, and all the rest of the news of the week with Bill O'Reilly.

You can hear him every day at billo'reilly.com.

That's billoilly.com.

Mercury.

The Glenbeck Program.

So let's bring Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly back, billorilly.com, and talk to him a little bit about North Korea.

First of all, Bill, are we going to war with North Korea?

No.

Okay,

if it is

just between us, we're having a private council.

You're the President of the United States and you've got your council split in half and half says, Mr.

President, we got to go.

They've crossed too many red lines.

It's only going to be a problem

down the road.

We got to go.

And I'd like to recommend a first strike.

The other half says no first strike and no, don't go to war because millions will die.

Which do you lean towards?

Okay, you can't do a preemptive strike with nukes on anybody.

That's not acceptable in the world we live in.

You could do,

you know, some bombing like you did in Syria, take out

a strategic military target.

I mean, it's certainly possible.

But I don't see that happening.

What I see happening is

this is, Trump is basically telling the world, look, I'm capable of this, which is true.

I'm capable of it.

Whereas Obama was, and everybody knew that he was, no matter what you did, Obama wasn't going to do anything drastic.

And it was like Merkel today, the German chancellor comes in and says,

well, there really isn't any military solution to North Korea.

Now, just step back and analyze how stupid that statement is from Anhala Merkel.

What if North Korea launches a missile at Guam or Japan or South Korea?

What if they do that?

I mean, that's what this idiot is threatening to do.

And Merkel says there's no military solution to that, so would you let them do that?

That's exactly the wrong message.

And Trump's message is basically symbolic.

It's a symbolic message.

I'm capable of this.

But will he do it?

No.

Only if they attack, they being North Korea, one of our allies, or any interests that the United States has.

Then he will.

But I don't see any nuke component in this because that's Armageddon.

Once you start with the nukes,

you know, then this stuff kills South Koreans, it kills Chinese.

So So you really can't do that.

Here's where I've come down on this, on my understanding of what Donald Trump is doing.

And it may be more wishful thinking, but I don't think it is.

As I've watched this game play out, and I know,

you know, how horrible war with North Korea would be, and now especially with China saying, you do a first strike, we're on their side.

You fight back, we're going to leave them to their own business, and you guys can have atom.

There's no way we're going for a first strike.

If we do, we turn the whole world against us, I think.

And the generals, and look, Kelly's the guy

a lot of the shots now.

He's never going to do it.

Yep, I agree.

People got to calm down.

So the reason that this is...

taking on hysteria is because it's August.

There's no other news.

Cable news is all, I mean, they're just going crazy.

And they're whipping everybody up.

And the left wants everybody to think that Trump is Dr.

Strangelove.

And so that's why it's whipping up.

But if you look at it, it's probably not going to lead to anything.

It's going to fizzle out like most of the North Korean missile tests do.

So here is the second part of that.

If this indeed is

strategy and Donald Trump is playing the strong hand because

nobody has in the United States for a long time and wants to put everybody on notice and does have a little bit of a twitchy eye.

He may in the end, if this works, be remembered as Ronald Reagan when it came to the Cold War.

This is exactly the argument we had from the left on Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, but it's a different situation because

you have irrationality in North Korea.

I mean, this guy is pretty irrational.

But, you know, I want to personalize it a little, and I can do that by a plug.

You know, Killing the Rising Sun is about, primarily about, the atom bomb drop on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And the power of those bombs was so horrific.

Now, they're 10,000 times as powerful.

And if you really want to know what happened, and kids should know it too, we have a kids' book, The Day the World Went Nuclear, off Killing the Rising Sun.

We take you right down, we put you right down into Hiroshima when that bomb dropped.

And you can feel what happened.

And so that's why the horror of nuclear war gets people crazy.

I mean, it really does.

It gets people crazy.

And all Americans should know what the actual horror is, that you're going to have people vaporized on the spot, that you're going to have fallout that stays for 50 to 60 years, makes Chernobyl look like Disneyland.

So I think that when you take that into consideration,

and you're President Trump or whatever, you're not going to do that unless you absolutely have to do it.

But I could see a surgical, you know, conventional strike on North Korea if they keep it up.

Bill, you were probably

around retirement age back in

82 and 83 when

the day after came out.

And

that was 82 is the year I graduated from high school.

And so I had a very different look at it then.

I just looked it up this week and I was just kind of zipping through it on YouTube.

And I remember how scary that was.

But because of my age back then, I really didn't see it as really what it was.

Nothing's changed.

That is Hollywood and the press and the networks trying to make you more afraid of Ronald Reagan's rhetoric than really the Soviet Union and trying to thwart Ronald Reagan.

Would you agree with that?

Did you see that at that point?

The left historically never wants to fight for anything,

and then anybody who counters that is a war-mongering fascist.

So, you know, even before World War II, there was a big strain of Americans that didn't want to confront Hitler or Tokyo.

They didn't want to get involved.

And some of those were conservative people.

The America First.

The America First campaign.

Yeah, just stay away.

We got two oceans protecting us.

Well, now we don't have any oceans.

So it is an emotional issue, but people should know that this isn't like Iraq or Afghanistan and sending in the special forces to track down ISIS.

Not like that.

This guy

is playing with something that could obliterate millions of people.

And so I have

confidence in the American system that we're not going to do anything irresponsible.

That's a key word.

The rhetoric is a rhetoric.

All right.

Trump is definitely sending a message to the world that he's capable, like Reagan, okay?

But

I don't think anything more will come of this at this point.

Okay, let me give you just some quick hits here and just get your comments on.

Chelsea Manning as being described as an American beauty in a woman's swimsuit

on the beach in Vanity Fair.

Comments?

What do you want me to say about it?

Just any comment on that.

Look,

American beauty, honest.

If she wants to be in a bathing suit and on a beach, she's a perfect right to do that.

Yeah, no, I'm not that wants to make a big deal out of it.

I don't care.

It's not that.

It is that

she's an American traitor.

How many people lost their lives because of her?

And now we're being spoon-fed that no, she's just a beautiful woman.

Remind everybody, President Obama commuted her sentence.

Yes.

Okay, so that's why she's in the bikini.

Now, maybe that was part of the deal.

I'll let you out if you go into a bikini in Vanity Fair.

That's the deal we have to make.

It's a weird deal, but it's a weird deal.

Paul Manafort, the raid on his residence by the FBI.

You know, not since Elliot Ness and the Untouchables has there been a crime drama at this level.

You know, Manafort, I've always said this from the very beginning, if there's one Trump person

that's got a deficit in this whole thing, it's him

because he made some big money

representing pro-Russian interests in the Ukraine situation.

Really bad.

And he had the contacts.

He knew the guys.

He knew Boris and Natasha.

And so, you know, they went in, they try to find out what he has.

And I'm glad I'm not Paul Monafort.

Mitch McConnell said

the reason why

the GOP is getting a bad brand or bad name is because Donald Trump and others had excessive expectations.

I just think this guy is such a dweeb.

I hate to be, you know, I just think McConnell is such a a dweeb.

D-W-E-E-B worry.

I mean, this guy, when I was very close to getting Kate's Law on the floor of the Senate, it was him who sabotaged it because he wanted to attach all kinds of stuff that he knew wasn't going to pass it.

I just think this guy is just,

I don't know him.

He never came on my program.

He was always afraid to do that.

I just don't have any use for him at all.

So

I wish there was more dynamic leadership on both sides.

On the Democratic side, you have Chucky Schumer threatening all of his people.

If you don't do what I say, we're going to run somebody against you in a primary and cut off your money.

That's why he's got all these Democrats voting against their country's best interest.

And on the other side, you've got Mitch McConnell playing whatever game he's playing.

So it's just really, and I think Americans have got it.

It's disgusting.

It really is.

Bill O'Reilly, we're writing some great history books and books now for your kids as well.

Beck, one more thing before you dump me here.

If I send you an advanced copy of Killing England, The Brutal Struggle for American Independence, will you read it, Beck?

Will you read the book if I send it to you in advance?

Okay, so are there some things in the pages that maybe might fall out that might be?

You're going to find out what Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson were really like.

I only care about Benjamin.

If Benjamin happens to be in those papers and it slips out of the book, I might read it.

But I'm interested in the Benjamins.

Thank you very much, Bill.

Appreciate it.

God bless.

Triple 8727 BECK.

This is the the Glenn Beck program.

So the New York Times guilty of large-scale screw-up on climate change stories.

Yeah, I'd say so.

I mean, the thesis of the story was basically there was a really alarmist global warming report that came out of the government.

The people, the scientists behind it, wanted to push it out to the New York Times because Trump wouldn't even release it.

He'd probably change it.

Remember the story?

I heard it from it this week.

A little correction ran the next day.

It was like, oh, yeah, by the way, this was actually already posted online.

You didn't see it there.

Where the story was completely bogus yeah so no there was no hiding of it it was actually already posted and available online several months earlier it had just been sitting there yeah but they they hid it by putting it up on the internet that's true you know yeah i know they just i know you'd actually have to type in google as a reporter you'd have to type into google you know uh climate change study white house and you know how hard that is it's hard it's very hard you do you have all your fingers okay well, not you, but does everybody have all their fingers?

Not everybody.

Not everybody.

You can't type that in.

Certainly don't have anything like Siri where you could just speak it in.

No, that's impossible.

How is the New York Times,

how do the reporters

are not expected to cross a basic hurdle?

Is

the thesis?

of your story true at all?

No.

No.

I mean, and have they lost their job?

Certainly hasn't been reported if anybody did.

No, they just posted a correction.

May I suggest, may I suggest what really happened?

Because we've seen it happen ourselves.

This is probably something like Media Matters.

And I'm not saying this, Media Matters did this, but this happens all the time.

Media Matters, they put all this crap out and they send it to all of the journalists, all of the

media from the left.

Every day, they're sending stuff out hey this story this story this story this story people on the left look at media matters as credible enough just to run with it so can you tell me some more of those details this is lazy journalism being fed most likely by somebody some organization on the left that they trust

that was the source Everybody was comfortable with it.

They didn't even check.

And they didn't even check.

That's how out of control your media is.

Because that happens almost on a daily basis.

Yeah, if a left-wing organization calls these places and says something's true, that's the default starting position.

Yeah, it is.

And whether they actually bother to see if it actually is true is a whole other thing.

With the New York Times, obviously, they don't.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

You get up in the morning, you take your kids to school, everything is fine.

You go to pick your kids up from school,

and

your daughter is missing.

You don't know where she went.

You ask the school, they don't know where she is.

Last you know, she was in class,

and now she's nowhere and no one has any idea.

Hours go by.

She finally calls you on the phone and says, they just let me call you, Dad, to let you know where I am.

Who?

Who just let you call me?

Where are you?

The response

I think could change your life

when you hear how the daughter responded to dad.

Think about how you would respond.

We begin there, right now.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

I will be my drum.

I have made my choice.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

From the Atlanta area, Sean Harris, the dad of a seven-year-old girl who he dropped off at school, went to pick her up and she was gone.

Without skipping to the end of the story, let me pick it up to, Sean, you thought this was a normal day and and everything was going to be fine right yes I did and then you go and pick her up and what happens

I went to our after-school care to pick her up as always so it was about 320 in the afternoon when I got there and it told me that her bus had just arrived so they caught her on the PA and I went to the back where I would normally pick her up in either a classroom or the cafeteria area if not on the playground and I could not find her.

So I came back to the front, and they acknowledged that they looked at the roll call and realized that, in fact, she was not on that bus.

So they then called her elementary school, at which time they kind of gave the run around.

They wouldn't answer any specific questions and continued putting them on hold, at which time they then just hung up on the daycare.

So I immediately got in my vehicle and raced over to her school while calling 911 en route to have a police officer there to look out for and to also respond to me when I got there.

Okay, hang on just a second.

As you're going there, all you know at this point is the school may know something, but they're not telling, you know, the daycare

and you don't know what's happening.

What is going through your mind on what you think at this point is happening?

Sheer panic.

So once I got to the school, made contact with the vice principal and demanded to know where my child was.

They then told me that she was okay and she was en route.

So as a concerned parent, I asked where is she and where had she been.

I was told that she was put on the bus, taken to a different after-school care.

And I asked again, well, which aftercare facility was this?

They couldn't tell me.

And then after another five minutes or so of frustration on my part, they then decided we needed to tell him the truth.

Okay, stop, stop, stop.

At this point,

when you are talking to the school, are you thinking somebody screwed up and put her on another bus that somehow or another you guys haven't been watching where my daughter was?

Were you getting feelings that something else is going on?

No, I just had just straight confusion as far as not understanding where she was or how she could have gotten on the wrong bus.

She's very familiar with her bus that she takes.

She's been going to that facility since she's been two years old, the aftercare facility.

So she's very familiar with the proper bus that she needs to catch.

How much time has gone by now between the time that you first find out your daughter is

not at school, not where she's supposed to be, to I assume the police have arrived now and are there with you?

Yes.

And how much time has arrived has transpired

until you are given the truth?

I would say about 20 minutes.

And your daughter,

when does she call you?

She didn't call at that time when I was speaking to the rice principal, who they told me that the Rockdale County Defax Office had picked her up inadvertently by mistake.

There's another child at the school with the same name.

The first names are spelled differently, however, and there's a two-year age difference with different birthdays.

So when I

instructed the administration of the elementary school to contact that defax worker who in fact had her, I needed to speak to my daughter.

So they contacted the driver that came and picked her up and put my daughter on the phone.

When she got on the phone, I asked her if she was okay.

And she was visibly, well, audibly shaken.

She was crying.

I could tell she was panicking.

I just tried to comfort her and told her that she would be with me momentarily.

And I then asked the driver what would their estimated arrival time be and she stayed at 20 to 30 minutes, which she had actually took her to a different county.

They subsequently came to the school.

It was probably about 4.20 at this time.

I immediately laid eyes on my daughter, ensured that she was okay, and quickly asked the driver what was their protocol for identifying students before they picked them up.

And I asked her, Did they have a photo or any other identifying measures in which to identify the proper child which they're going to pick up?

And she just stated that the paper said the name and the birth date.

And at no time had anyone ever cross-referenced to see that the spellings were different, as well as a two-year age difference and different birthdays.

We then.

Sean, hang on just a second.

I don't know about you, but

I got a buttload of problems here.

And it's not just that they didn't check the birthday and they picked up the wrong child.

I am assuming, Sean, that you have taught your child, you know, don't get in the car with strangers.

What kind of trauma has your daughter gone through?

How did they approach her in the first place?

Who told her?

How did she know she wasn't being kidnapped by a bad guy?

Well, later that evening when I spoke to her, she was not comfortable with being with the lady from the beginning.

And yes, we definitely taught her don't go with strangers and that was one of my number one concerns.

But again, when you send your child to school, you

entrust in the school and your children also entrust in the school being that you trust the school to keep custody of them.

So of course, she went reluctantly, of course, but of course this was part of the school system that she felt that was taking her.

She went along with them.

It was an adult.

And when I spoke to her later that evening, I also asked her what happened when she got to the office and she stated that she was just sitting in a room.

I asked,

were the people nice to her?

Was anyone mean to her?

She said no.

They offered her a bottle of water and a small pack of crackers.

And she said that she cried while she was there.

And they were questioning her, asking on the way to the location the driver was asking has she ever been to DFAX before does she know what defaults is and of course my child has no idea what DFAX is so when she got there she again asked her do you know where you are and my daughter said no they went ahead and took her inside and started asking her questions about her father and what type of vehicle he drives and something about her grandmother and

they then just waited for a little while and and then that's apparently when they realized they had the wrong child

and started heading back to the school.

Okay, so if you don't know what DFACs is, this is the Georgian Division of Family and Children's Services.

These are the protectors of your children.

So

what

I hope you have a good woman in your life, because

that would have been the one thing that stopped me from going on a rampage, quite honestly, Sean.

How did you react

to this?

And what happened in the subsequent days?

Of course I was devastated.

At the time, the principal then showed up and we also talked with the school police

and

I was in sheer panic.

sheer panic.

And

so once we sat down and had a conference, we talked about the events that had occurred and how could this possibly have happened.

At that point, the school system, they responded immediately.

They took full responsibility, and I do applaud them for that.

In the subsequent morning, I spoke with the superintendent.

We've had conversations since then numerous times.

as well as the principal the next morning well that night at home she cried a lot that night she was scared she stated that i never want to go back to that school.

And I had to take time to comfort her and just kind of encourage her that everything would be okay the next morning.

I personally took her to school the next morning.

The school system had a counselor on hand to speak to her.

Probably somebody from DFACS, maybe?

Did they have somebody from the Department of Adorno?

Nobody there?

Because I know the state likes to, you know, to counsel children and make sure that they're safe.

I thought maybe the state would have somebody there to help your child.

No, the state never offered.

This was the school system that offered.

Subsequently, the next day when I contacted DeFax,

I was speaking with the director.

Her name was Miss Parrott.

And she kind of had the demeanor and the attitude of, well, you got your kid back.

Oh, my gosh.

That we need, so let's just move on.

And she promised that I would hear back from her at one o'clock that afternoon, which to this point I still have not heard

anything back from DFAX.

Well, the state just doesn't have to respond to you, little people, do they?

Do you have a good attorney?

Yes.

You do?

Like a really good attorney?

Yes.

Good.

And

what does your really good attorney say?

We're in communication, so we're going to just kind of keep it at that point.

Yeah.

You do have a good attorney.

That's exactly what you're supposed to say.

Okay, so

how do you feel about

sending your children to

school where

they allow this just to happen?

And

how do you feel about sending them to school?

And

how do you explain to your child that they're safe from the government just picking them up, taking them someplace?

Well, of course, I'm still concerned.

Still have a little apprehension.

I've never had any problems with the school.

This is her third year at the school.

I have never had any problems.

The staff has always been great and professional.

It's more so the defact aspect of night cross-referencing and verifying.

It's rough every day, just convincing her that it's okay to go to school.

And at the same time, I have to ensure that nothing happens because her trust is solely in me as far as

her that it's okay to return back to school.

So

kind of watch her while she's sleep.

I don't know if she's having nightmares or not.

I guess that'll kind of tell

in the near future here.

So my number one concern, of course, is for her well-being, her emotional, mental stability,

how this can affect her in the future.

And most importantly, that never happens again to her or any other student.

And just different measures and protocols have to be in place,

particularly in identifying children because the only identifying factor that they had was a name and a birth date, but they should have height, weight,

and other

identifying measures.

You know, Sean, the other part of this is, I mean, I, because I dwelled on this, you know, in the 24 hours since I've known about this story, I've dwelt on,

yeah, how can they possibly screw this up?

What, how incompetent do you have to be and scar a seven-year-old child?

And, oh, well, that's outrageous.

However, let's remember that they're doing this to kids, and some of those kids are abused.

Some of them are not abused.

And

the idea that they can just come in and take your children and not notify anybody is

just a total and complete outrage.

Just an outrage, especially when they're sloppy.

Sean,

I appreciate you coming on the program talking about this.

And I hope that you fight with all your might so this does not happen to other children, that there are not, you know, that, you know, we got to do what we, no, we don't have to do what we have to do.

We have to do the right thing to protect children.

But the state, the arrogance of the state to just do this and then not even to call and apologize to you.

It's just

eye-bleeding outrageous.

Yes.

Very disturbing.

We will pray for your daughter.

We'll pray for you.

And thank you so much for sharing your story.

Anything we can do to help?

Is there anything we can do to help?

Just stay on top of the story with me.

And I just want to get this out so that people understand what's happening with this particular government agency.

And more importantly, the young lady who was supposed to be picked up was picked up for a reason, obviously.

And it could have been that she, in fact, could have been in an abusive relationship.

And by them dropping the ball, she could have been in harm's way as well.

Yeah.

As my daughter was in harm's way being with a stranger.

Unbelievable.

So the system definitely has to be corrected immediately.

Thank you very much, Sean.

We will follow the story.

You stay in touch with us.

Let us know the turns and twists.

And if there is anything we can do to help, I know this audience would love to help you.

Thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Can you imagine how the anger,

not to mention the fear, but I don't know what the series of events there are, but it's fear and anger are prominent.

Ever lost your child for even a few minutes?

Ever not known where your child was for a few minutes?

Thankfully, not yet.

Pat?

No.

No.

Jeffy?

Nope, they come back.

I know I've told this story before, but I lost at a July 4th thing.

I lost Mary for about 20 minutes.

It was the most horrific 20 minutes of my life.

Yeah.

And

you just, I mean, you just, you become, you become a bear, a caged animal.

And

there's the things that are going through your mind.

I can't imagine.

I can't believe the guy actually

was lucid enough to get into a car and drive.

Your daughter is missing.

You think something is wrong.

Oh my gosh,

you're no longer yourself.

You are in full-fledged dad or mom protective mode.

And to

have the state, and all of us pretty much yawn, to have the state be able to go in when you've taught your children the whole time, don't go in with strangers.

And to have them just go, hey, little girl, is this your name?

Oh, you need to come with me.

And get into a car.

Do you imagine how terrifying that is for a kid?

Even a kid who's been abused, and maybe even more so.

And not notify the parent?

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

I mean, even if it had been the right kid, you notify the parent of what's happened, right?

Oh, my gosh.

That's just, that's unconscionable.

And now this.

This doesn't look like it was the first time that this has happened in Georgia, just judging by the phone calls.

I can't imagine

being a parent and the state comes in and takes my child out of the county.

I think that's kidnapping.

No one,

no one would you allow that to happen.

No one, you would charge them with kidnapping if anyone ever did that to your child.

But the state did it, and so they don't really even have to apologize.

Nope.

Are we mice or are we Americans?

Do we actually believe in something anymore?

How is this, how is this not the most outrageous thing coming out of georgia

and it's not the first time just judging by the phone calls which we take next

the glenbeck program

mercury

this is the glenbeck program

we're glad you're here there's a uh a story of a story of this horrible situation in Georgia, just a suburb of Atlanta, where a dad goes to pick up his seven-year-old daughter from school.

She's not in the after-school program.

She, in fact, they check in and go, wow, no, she wasn't even on the bus coming here.

They call the school.

School gives them the runaround.

Dad immediately knows, okay, something really bad is happening.

He calls 911, gets into the car, can't even imagine being him driving to the school.

He gets to the school.

They're still giving him the runaround.

The police show up, takes him 20 minutes before the school finally says, oh, okay, she was taken by the state.

What do you mean she was taken by the state?

She was taken by,

I don't remember what they called it there, but it's basically the Department of Children and Family Services.

DFACs, I think they call it.

And

she's returned later in the afternoon.

The daughter is freaked, as you can imagine.

This isn't the first time this has happened.

And it's not going to be the last time.

And Defax in Georgia hasn't even called the dad back.

The attitude when he called was, look, you got your daughter back.

Everything is fine.

I have to tell you.

I am not

a

violent man by any stretch of the imagination.

You've kidnapped my child and took them into another

county.

I don't care who the hell you are as a protective animal.

I would have had a hard time with restraint.

I would have had a really hard time.

Several stories like that lately.

I have no idea how Charlie Gard's parents made it through that.

I don't either.

I have no freaking idea.

I don't either.

And, you know, I don't know what it ends in.

I mean, because it just might be complete self-destruction.

You're at that point of like, I would completely break down every 10 seconds.

And all you'd want to do is beat the crap out of everybody.

In this sort of situation, you wouldn't.

Well, you shouldn't.

It's your child.

Yeah, but it's your instinct.

You have to remember that the reason why the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is so valid

is because the Second Amendment is not really talking about guns.

I mean it is, but it's more than that.

It is the right to defend yourself and your family.

That is a natural right.

That right is in every animal.

Go up and pet the pretty little kitties.

They're lions and mom will rip you to shreds and dad will feast on you.

It's a natural right to protect your children.

And the state expects you just to say, oh, okay, well,

you did what I would, and so would everyone in the country, deem kidnapping.

And I'm supposed to take it.

No way.

And he, you know, obviously handled it a hell of a lot better than we're talking about handling it.

Oh, gosh.

But I mean, it's the other thing is, I don't know

that I could trust.

Bringing my kid back to that school.

They didn't even alert me.

They wouldn't even tell me the truth once I got there.

But they will tell you that's because if he was, if that child was in danger because dad was, you know, an abuser, you can't.

Yeah.

Because then what happens?

Then she goes home and dad says, what did you tell them?

And beats her.

Well, there's a couple of ways you can deal with this.

And one of them is don't take the children off school premises.

I've dropped my child off to that school.

You don't have a right to leave that school.

You will screw my child up.

They're called into the principal's office.

That happens.

They're called into this office.

They come into the principal's office.

And in the principal's office, there's another door that leads to the secret room where the secret police are from the state.

And they question them there.

That's even better than taking them not only off school property, but then taking them across county lines.

It's an incomprehensible that could happen.

Gosh, it's crazy.

I wonder what, do we have any idea what happened to the actual kid that was supposed to be taken?

No, and we shouldn't.

I mean, this just happened.

But, you know, God forbid, now this story is out.

Now, if that dad is an abuser, this child who is possibly in an abusive is in trouble.

Real danger.

I mean, that's real danger.

Terrifying.

And you know what?

Take it.

Take it.

Because

the state, they're doing this for your good.

They're doing this for your protection.

If they can just help one child, it's all worth it.

So you'll just take it.

I hope this family has the biggest badass mad dog attorney that they can possibly find.

Brian in Georgia, you're an officer, a police officer, or one with defects?

No, I'm a state certified officer.

I'm not going to say with which department.

Okay,

But yes, I hope they do have a great lawyer.

I had to call you when I heard about this because the number of times we run into DFAX and the horror stories I could fill your head with, you wouldn't sleep at night.

You wouldn't, Glenn.

I've had to call them out at three in the morning for a child wandering the streets.

We can't find mom because she went to go get high.

And mom shows back up an hour later.

And DFAX is like, well, mom's there, so we're not going to come out.

We'll deal with it Monday.

But this is Friday night.

What happens to this child in the meantime?

Mom's here.

She knows what's going on.

And then I've had to stop DeFax workers who did almost the same thing here, where they call us because of a disorderly parent.

Well, you have the wrong child.

And in this case, I would have arrested this DFAX worker for kidnapping.

It fits every

in the book for it.

Really?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I would have, especially if the father was upset, because I'm like, hey, look, what do you want me to do?

I'm your service here.

Defax is clearly screwed up.

90% of the workers we run into don't give a flying hoot about doing anything really.

They want to do their paycheck, they'll do their follow-up reports, and once in a while they'll do something great.

And I'm sure there's some DFAX workers out there who are great, but I haven't run into them.

Wow, Brian

is completely screwed up.

You know, I tell you, you've just restored my hope in humanity by saying that you would have arrested this person for kidnapping because that's exactly what it is.

Exactly what it is.

Except the state did it.

Yeah, that doesn't matter.

So what should people do?

They're not to the same laws we are.

Yeah, they don't think so.

Brian,

so what should the average person do?

Other than taking safeguards and making sure you keep track of your kids

and calling us and hoping an officer that will do something shows up.

And then, of course, this mad dog attorney, I hope they have Johnny Cochran or somebody.

Thank you so much brian i appreciate it he would do a terrible job today he's not he wouldn't he would he would not be able to handle that case yeah

is it too soon is it too soon no no it's not too soon okay that's been almost 20 years jacob you're on the glenbeck program hi jacob uh yes sir um i wanted my story to actually be heard back when i turned 17 I was in a group home.

I was taken from my mom at a young age because she had throat cancer and she was also a very avid drug user.

Wait, wait, wait.

She had throat cancer.

I'm sorry, your phone connection is bad.

And she was a drug user.

Yes, sir.

And so

you were taken from her at a young age.

Yeah.

Okay.

And I was put in my great aunt's care.

She was a very bad abuser.

She actually locked me in the shed quite a bit, and I'm highly allergic to wasps, and she knew there was wasps in there.

And there was numerous days where I came crawling out from underneath it, just barely holding on.

So I go to this group home and it was like a sanctuary for me.

Like it was the best place that I've ever lived my whole life and they were like a family and I stayed there for years before I ever got in DHS care because I refused.

Prior to this I had been in DHS care and they didn't care about me or my brothers or anyone.

They separated us.

And so long story short, DHS did a fact of my life when I turned 17 and they pulled me out of this group home because I'm doing so good they put me in an independent living program so I could be prepared to be an adult at a young age I mean I was 17 doing good they said I had inadequate inadequate supervision and I was being overly supervised we go to court they had lied underneath oath I believe a total of five times And they also had to throw out one of those accusations and they had to say that I was just being overly supervised by the CEO of the ranch.

He was the guy who's constantly watching me.

I mean, the highest up he can get.

He trusted me and he knew that we were doing right for me.

They take me out of his care.

They put me in jail.

And then they, it's hard to find me a foster home because no one wanted me.

I was 17.

Everybody said they didn't want me.

My wife went downhill fast.

I went to jail three or four times, numerous foster homes in a year.

I switched high school two times just trying to graduate.

Wasn't in any yearbook.

I mean, it was hard for me to graduate, but I did.

I overcame it.

The last group home I was in, when I turned 18, I tried to tell them ahead of time that this girl was going to run away.

My DCS worker did not believe me.

She took me to jail.

That way, later that night, she ran away.

A couple weeks later, they dropped me off at a gas station in January of 2013 with snow and ice on the ground.

And I didn't have nowhere to go.

I lived in a laundromat for a week.

Jacob.

Man.

Look, I've listened to you for a long time.

I'm a meter reader, and I've been listening to you since I turned 19.

I'm on my feet now, trying to get above water.

You know, I went to college.

I've done good.

I was a grade A student in high school until that happened.

I was a grade A student in college.

I got a degree.

I went to college for three years.

I'm meter reading now, currently, just barely getting by.

I got a daughter of my own.

I'm 22.

My fiancé is 21.

I needed government assistance when they dropped me off at the gas station.

They refused because we got three of their board of directors fired, me and the CEO of the Arc Coal Sheriff Heath Branch.

And it's been like that every day of my life since then.

It's been like a living hell.

What are you doing now, Jacob?

What do you do for a living?

What are you doing now?

Funny thing is I read electric meters for Ola meter and I make about $14.83 an hour you know I was kind of scared to say my name just in case they're listening because they don't like me that much and I don't want them to do anything to my daughter because I'm not going to let them pay for like they took me

but I honestly you might find this funny but with what's going on in the world you know I want to be a politician I want to make a difference I want to do something to help people who've been in my position because I've seen every angle of this world and what it has to offer.

I've been in a rich home.

I've been in a poor home.

I've been in an abusive home.

I've been in a normal home.

I've been in a group home.

I've been in the states care.

I've been in jail because I had nowhere to go.

I know every single crack and crevice of this world that there possibly is.

And I can tell you right now, the things that we're focusing on is not what everybody is caring about.

We're just all trying to get by.

I mean, North Korea, yeah, that's crazy.

That scares the crap out of me.

But, you know, I just, I want to to have enough to get my own house and to be my own family.

And it's like impossible.

I don't even have insurance.

And they're going to take, you know, my tax money.

I haven't been to a doctor in three years.

Three years, man.

Jacob, boy, I would like to meet you someday.

If you'll hold on, I want my producers just to get a phone number so we can keep track of you and know what's happening.

But

you should be really proud of yourself.

I try to be.

I really do try to be, but man, let me tell you, it is hard.

It is so hard.

Don't give up.

And

you are a survivor, and you're not going to just survive.

You're going to thrive

because

you

have not let this beat you down.

There's only two ways to go.

When the world just keeps slugging away at you,

you just keep getting back up.

And I'm telling you, in the end, it's all worth it because you have created a life of meaning and

your children will never forget that.

And their lives will be changed.

Hang on just a second, Jacob, so we can get some information from you.

I will tell you,

I have been praying for empathy, more empathy lately.

And if you follow this show, boy, I believe in the last few weeks,

my prayers are being answered.

What a powerful, powerful hour.

Now this,

if you are booking travel for your company,

Stop wasting time pricing flights and hotels at the same old sites.

The only site you need now is upside.com.

Here's the upside difference.

You save money because you're going to bundle flights in a hotel together for one price.

Then they reward you with a gift card to places like Amazon every time you buy a trip.

So the company saves money, your company saves money.

The employee gains money because

if they'll make a couple of cuts and maybe a couple of blocks away from their meeting

and from the hotel where they are right there, maybe it's two blocks south, they get an Amazon gift card worth real cash to them.

And then the hotels win, and upside wins.

This is the best win-win situation I've ever seen.

We use upside to be able to book travel.

Upside.com.

Right now, when you use the promo code BEC, you're guaranteed to get at least a $100 Amazon gift card with your package purchase.

If you use the promo code BEC, that's $100 gift card free.

There is no better way to buy business travel.

It's upside.com.

Minimum purchase is required.

See site for the complete details, but do it now, upside.com, promo code Beck.

Well,

there's some good news to leave you with on the weekend.

I'm going to tweet it out and Facebook post it in a few minutes, but it's some of of the fallacies about North Korea.

For instance, they just

shelled an island and it was only hit 47% of the time.

And the island, by the way, was not shooting back.

47% of the time and 20% of those were duds.

They are typical communist nation

in collapse.

Perhaps...

Perhaps this story could end the way the Soviet Union ended with sanctions and tough talk from the president, and we'll pray that it continues to go that way.

Have a safe weekend.

We will see you back here Monday morning.

God bless.
