We're going to go to A.G. Barr here in just a second and what happened on Capitol Hill. But I want to really start with Bernie's taxing behavior. It's the latest op-ed from Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Hi, Bill. How are you? Okay, Beck. Thanks for having me back. I appreciate it. Are you ever good? You know, that's a high bar. I always strive to be good.

Right. But when somebody asked you... You know, I've got to deal with a lot of them. Right. At any point in your life, when somebody said, how you doing? You went, good. Did that, did that ever? I'm like Yoda. I sit there. I have to deal with all of the problems and try to sort them all out for everybody. So it's a heavy burden. Go out, get yourself an Orange, Julius. Those always remind me in my childhood, and they always make it feel better. All right. Talk to me about Bernie Sanders. All right. So the column is entitled Bernie's Taxing Situation.

because he's going to put out his taxes on Monday, but we already know that Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont, the socialist, is a millionaire twice over. All right? So he's got assets about more than $2 million, according to himself. Okay, now you're not... You're not against millionaires, clearly. Hey, I'm a capitalist. Right.

I applaud Bernie. Correct. But Bernie's vision for the country is dangerous. So I must put Bernie's rhetoric in perspective with his actions, which is why I'm never good. Because I always have to think about these things. Right. All right. All right.

So Bernie's got three houses. All right. He's got a little condo in D.C. Got a big lake house in Lake Champlain. Samuel D. would be very impressed with that spread. And then he's like three quarters of a million dollars. We don't really know where that is.

Okay, okay. All right. Then he's a millionaire because he sells books. Now, for me, I don't know why Bernie's not given those books away because there's a lot of people that don't, they can't spend $30 on a book, and they want to kind of get a little book subsidy from Bernie, but no. But the big thing that I learned about Bernie Sanders is that in the last two years, he spent $340,000 on private jets. So now I sent my column to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez,

in the hopes that somebody would read it to her. And I want to know about the Green New Deal and Bernie, because I think Bernie's Green New Deal is in his wallet. So can I ask you a question? Bernie Sanders has been... You absolutely have that right. So Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders has been in politics since 18, when did he start? When did he, honestly, when did he get into politics?

Do you know? Let me ask you this question. He was a hippie in Brooklyn and decided he didn't really want to work for a living, and this is true. And moved up to Vermont, where far more cows than people, and started to run for office. And he lost. He lost. I mean, he couldn't win. But then finally, he became mayor of Burlington, Vermont, the largest city in the state.

And then from there became a congressman. There's only one congressman in Vermont, because they don't have any people. Two senators, one congressman. All right. And then he's been on the government dole more than 20 years, I believe. I think he might be approaching 30. So he's a career politician. So where did he make the millions of dollars?

Now, I know he said. The books. Uh-huh. Now, I believe that with you, Bill. Well, well, no, no, Beck. No, you don't know. Let me, and this is actually an excellent question that I'm glad you asked permission to ask. An excellent question. I know who's running the show here. Well, here's how Bernie amassed two million. Okay. Number one, his campaign contributions take care of every single expense the man has. he wants M&M's campaign expense all right I need energy

to give my speech every expense is paid for by the donors to his campaign now there's a second time he's run for president and he's raised I think in excess of close 100 billion dollars okay

so no expenses then he puts out books that his people and there are Bernie people apparently buy. But even if they didn't, he gets an advance on the book, which means that the publishing company pays him a significant amount of money. You add that to never paying for anything, and you can save a lot of money. And has he done well in investments? Because a lot of

people. I don't, I can't say, I mean, look, I don't have access to his portfolio. I don't have access to his tax returns. I'm happy he's given him out on Monday. take a look. What I do know is a few years ago, Bernie, donated $8,000 to charity. $8,000. Now, that'll get you on a private jet from Vermont to New Hampshire.

No, that'll allow you to land on the tarmac. So is Bernie anguishing over the poor at $8,000? I don't think so. Now, I know, Beck, you give a lot of money in charity. I certainly do. I have a foundation. Okay. I'm Bernie.

doing that. He's got his little kayak. He's got a little canoe up there on Lake Camp plane, you know, at least he wasn't. Maybe, maybe he is now. We'll see. Let's go to, let's go to taxes first before I go to the Attorney General. Yesterday, there was quite, quite a showdown on Capitol Hill with Maxine Waters and Donald Trump's tax return. Now, you just said you're happy that Bernie Sanders is turning over his taxes, his tax returns on Monday. Should Donald Trump turn in his tax returns? Theoretically, yes. But if I were Trump, I would not.

And here's why. As you know, I'm writing the United States of Trump, okay? History book on Donald, his family, how he got where he is, how we, there are only two people on Earth that could have become president with his background of him. Oprah Winfrey. That's it. Two people on a planet. So the reason that Trump doesn't give out his tax returns is because they are very complicated. And they take into account depreciation on his real estate empire and all kinds of things that you can just twist and turn and make it look like the guy's a criminal. So it's a very complicated deal. He runs a very sophisticated real state empire. He knows he puts out his tax return. This is going to be the main story

for three months straight. It's like Romney. Same thing's going to happen. So that's why he doesn't do it. And if I were him, I wouldn't do it either. So I will tell you this. His tax returns to examine it in an objective way or to explain it. They're looking at it to hurt him. Right. So that's why he doesn't do it. I will tell you that during the campaign, I thought he should have released them. And I thought he was not releasing them because I don't think he has the kind of money. His money is all borrowed money. It's all, you know, he's, he's very good at using other people's money to build things and then he puts his name on things. And so his image is that he's, you know, a multi, multi-billionaire.

He's very, very wealthy and may be a billionaire, but I don't think he's as rich as everybody thinks he does. And I think that's part of his mystique that he wouldn't want. want to let out. And I just wanted to see the tax returns because I thought people should know what he's what he's doing. This at this point, however, and I don't think this is a flip-flop because I like you think he should release them. But if I were him, I would not. Only because there's no, there's Congress, Maxine Waters is going to give me a fair shake. It is I'm only feeding the beast. Right. And Maxie's had our

own problems with her husband as a big bank guy and does the same kind of thing that Trump does. Look, every American, I think I can generalize, will take the deductions that are allowed them. Yes. Trump has never gotten in trouble

with the IRS. They always audit them because he does have all his crazy stuff and takes advantage of every loophole he can take advantage of. So that's the story. But the thing you need you and Stu need to know about Donald Trump, and this is why you're going to love my book, is because Donald Trump's whole life is a transaction.

And that is where you start, if you want to understand the president of the United States and how he governs. All right. Everything is a transaction. So the transaction here is, should I put out my tax return? And then the question Trump asks is, what will I get in return? And the answer is, nothing. I'm not going to get goodwill. I'm not going to get a fair shake.

It's all going to be used against me. So that's a stupid transaction, and I'm not going to do it. Yes. And that's the way he thinks. Okay, I want to go to the Attorney General and what he said yesterday, see if you can break this down for us. Then I want to talk to you a little bit about Joe Biden and something that we did this week on the border.

And somebody that you need to meet, Bill, coming up in just a second. Bill, let's talk about the Attorney General's appearance yesterday, because there are two stories out there. One was that the Attorney General said, I believe that there was a targeting and spying on Donald Trump, and I'm looking into it. The other story is, that's not what he said? What he said was he would look into it, and I don't know if we should even trust him anyway. What happened yesterday? All right, here's what happened. The Attorney General signaled to the country in a very subtle way.

He's an interesting guy, if you listen to him, that he knows that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. He knows that happen, all right? And it's true, it did happen. Now, he used the word... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How do you know that? Is that just... Because they...

They got FISA warrants, they being the FBI, to put a wire on a man named Carter Page, who was working with the Trump campaign. And they did. Now, that's a spy. They're spying on Carter Page because he's a member of the Trump campaign. Okay. Got it? Okay. Now, Ben Barr said, but I don't know whether the spying was illegal.

He used a different word than illegal. And that's what we're looking into. But if you follow what happened in the FISA warrant, and that is the FBI went into a judge and said, Judge, we need to spy on Carter Page. Please give us a warrant to do so. And the judge said, why? Why do you need to spy on poor Carter?

And they said, well, because we have this dossier that we have obtained that says the Trump campaign and the candidate himself is compromised. by Russia and did a lot of bad things in Russia, and they had blackmailing him. And the judge went, wow, okay, here's your warrant to spy on Carter Page. And we now know that dossier was phony, and it was paid for by the Clinton campaign. So, bringing a judge fraudulent reasons, and the FBI knew that the dossier wasn't true, to get a warrant is a class A felony.

that is very important. Now, Barr knows all this is true, but he's not going to convict Comey, McCabe, and the other FBI people on television. He's not going to do that. You're going to say, well, I'm going to look into this. It's already being looked into by the Inspector General of the Justice Department of Michael Horowitz and another U.S. attorney named Hoover out of Utah. So now we have three looking into it.

Now, this is interesting. On CNN last night, I Clapper, one of the main drivers of spying on Donald Trump, said, oh, we weren't really spying on Trump. We were spying on the Russians, but we had to use Trump people to get the information on the Russians. Did you see that? That doesn't make any sense. Okay, that's the defense. Right, but it doesn't.

Comey and McCabe and Clapper and all of them are going to use. No, no, no. We weren't slang on the Trump campaign. We had to get information about Putin. Then why would you use... The only way we could do that was to wire and to surveil Carter Page. That doesn't make sense. Why?

If you believe that Trump was innocent and a good American and everybody was open, why wouldn't you just say to them, hey, by the way, we need. to tap this because we're concerned about this. Why wouldn't you... We want to do his thing. Exactly right. And why wouldn't you... You should be the prosecuting attorney in this case back.

And why wouldn't... You could demolish their argument in two seconds going, no, no, no, no. That's not how you do it. Right. You don't violate Americans' rights and political campaign's rights. You don't do that to try to get criminal activity on another person. You do a sting. And doesn't it...

And doesn't it show intent... on the FBI in a negative way if they are doing this and not alerting Donald Trump. I mean, this... Well, you can make that argument. They're going to counter and say, oh, no, no, we didn't have any animus. We were just doing it this way because it was easier.

But here's the end game. So Barr knows what happened. And he's an attorney general note. Like Jeff Sessions, the attorney general, from the beginning of the trial, he had no blank and clue about what was going on. Barr, he knows. now bar he's got to make a decision do you

disrupt the federal government of the united states all right do you tear it apart because they did this because you know Loretta Lynch the other attorney general under Obama when this was all going on they're going to haul her right in and that leads to who

Clinton Obama no no Barack Obama Clinton is divorced from this Clinton campaign, they sleezed out by getting this phony dossier, all right, but they didn't have, you don't think they had. I mean, they did, but Obama had to know about the surveillance, had to. Now, did he know it was illegal? I don't know that.

But once you start to domino down, once you put handcuffs on Comey and McCabe and struck in page, and or five FBI high-ranking people, they're going to start to talk. Oh, I was ordered to do it. Oh, I told Loretta Lynch, she signed off on it. And then Loretta Lynch pulls in all about President Obama told me to do it. That's what happened in Watergate. That's exactly what happened in Watergate. That'd be interesting to watch. So Barr has got to decide, do you want to blow the government up or not?

And I don't know what that decision is going to be because these guys really don't want to blow up their country, and this would. All right, back in just a second with more from Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly.com, by the way, he also has a new book that is coming out, the United States of Trump, how the president really sees America. It goes on sale in September. It comes out in September, but you can order it, pre-order right now with Amazon.com. Back at a minute. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com, I urge you to join and follow Bill and watch the product that he puts out. It is an important voice for America. He also has a brand new book that has come.

coming out in September, and it is all about the United States of Trump and what Trump really thinks about America. It's always worth a read with Bill O'Reilly. And Bill, I want to change the subject, and I want to go to the border here. Bill. Bill O'Reilly, a lead commentator and an author of, no, I mean, the guy who knows Trump better than anybody. The border situation is interesting to me, because when Jeff Sessions is there, they put

in this family separation policy, which was religious. kind of a change in enforcement. And at that time, they're complaining about a crisis, about 8,000 families crossing the border every month. They put this policy in, and it basically works as a deterrent. They hold it at about 8,000. Eventually, the media pressure comes along, and they reverse that policy,

and it has escalated ever since until this last month where 53,000 families come across the border. The problem is seven times as bad. Trump is taking action. he's blowing everybody out in the department. So, one, what is he doing with the department? And two, was it a mistake to change that policy under the media pressure initially? The policy goes back all the way to the Bill Clinton presidency,

that if you are a migrant family and you come into the United States illegally, the children are then taken into protective custody by immigration officials while their parents are adjudicated. And that'd be going on for, what, 40 years, maybe more. So in the Obama administration, obviously we have pictures of that. Yep. And we saw them. So the Trump people come in, they just carry on the same policy.

They probably didn't even know that it was going to become a controversial issue when it did. Trump changed it. Okay. So now you have a siege at the border where 200,000 human beings plus every month are trying to get in here to apply for asylum. it's a con everybody knows it's a con Beck appeared on Hannity and rightly said that the origins of this come from George Soros funded groups

that are based in Chicago you may remember Bill O'Reilly.com broke that story about a year ago I remember talking to you guys about it yeah we talked about it we talked about it too what we talked about this the the what is it Casa Deef and where I can't remember what it's called but the center of the people without borders we talked about that the people without borders are in

honduras but the american um had so-called uh charities that funnel money to them are in chicago correct with a head base in dc and those names are listed on bill o'reilly dot com i don't have them on top of my head yes but anyway all they did was basically get the word out on social media if you put one foot in the united states you can apply for solemn and they'll let you go and you can be in the country for three, four years. You can work, send money back to mom and dad and Tegusa Galpa. That's how it started. Now it's out of control. So what I would do if our President Trump is to spend all asylum applications for 90 days at least. And so we have to get this under control. We don't have enough facilities down there. We don't have enough judges.

And we're going to not take any asylum applications by order of the president. He can do that. Now, immediately, the liberal judges in California would try to block it in the courts, but you have to go through that. But this is a big re-election issue now for President Trump. He's going to run on the economy, he's going to run on the border

and illegal immigration. So he should do that, and fight that, fight that way. Can we fight this battle bill without actually going to

the root of the problem. And the root of the problem is this is not a naturally occurring issue. This is being well orchestrated and well-planned. Pardon me? It's like drug dealing. It's the same thing. It's run by the same people. Right.

And you can't. The cartels. No, they're- I charge the family, five, six thousand. They school the family on what to do. They get them to the border. And then our kids take over. and they walk across the Rio Grande or they climb a fence or they do something.

It's a very contrived organized criminal activity. I see this differently. I see that as the system and the free market, if you will, you know, sensing a need. And here comes the corrupt people to make that. All your dreams come true. That's the invisible hand of the market. I mean the people who actually have. designed this they they started in 2006 they are communists they they are the ones who

started the sanctuary city thing in 2008 I think it was or 12 they started to say that you know what we need are caravans they carefully planned this this is a human wave theory and it is happening here in the United States everything else is a branch off of that you've got to get the people that are here behind the, the, the crisis itself, the ones who are causing the crisis, you've got to- But you can't charge them with anything because there's no violation of U.S. law by giving money to organizations like people without borders. You can, that's, that's perfectly legal. So it'd be very hard to make a RICO case that you could try against these so-called

cherries who are doing it. But you're right, they're doing it for a political reason. Yes. It's the same thing that happened in Europe with the flood of North Africans and Middle Eastern people. Yes. And the governments of Austria and Poland and the Czech Republic basically put up huge fences. Yes. And we're backed up by military. And nobody's coming in here. And they were called haters and they're the only ones. They're the only countries that are not being destabilized now internally by all of those north african immigrants the federal government under president trump has got to have the barrier the wall and the military they the military is already there now he's saying he's going to bring more down but you have to get the asylum law changed

it has to be changed because they found a loophole in the illegal immigration system whereby if you put one foot on U.S. soil, you're entitled to the whole McGillah of applying for asylum, and they can't get to you for four years. How is McGillah not word of the day? How is McGillah not word of the day? How do you get through that sentence? It is a mythical creature who has a goatee and kind of blonde hair and lives in Dallas. I used to watch McGillagher gorilla.

Is that any relation? Yes. It's a mythical creature. Okay. All right. I mean, but Bill, have you seen any reporting on these? Because I'm amazed, we see lots of reporting on Venezuela, right? That there's at least some that shows how bad it is there.

I have not seen the equivalent reporting from Honduras or any of these countries that supposedly are having these huge problems that need new asylum requests. Well, I mean, I don't know what you want. It's been going on down there since the conquistadors. It's ugly, but it's not any more ugly than it's been. Central America has been a center of poverty forever because of the systems are corrupt. I mean, my local newspaper Newsday, which is like reading the ravings of a five-year-old. Oh, we have to solve the problems in El Salvador or Guatemala.

Yeah, okay, fine. You know, it's just if you go there and I've been there, I covered the Salvadoran War in the 80s. I know what it is. All right. It's corrupt all across the board. And the four people don't have anything. And if I lived in Honduras, I'd try to come to the United States too. I have to be honest. I would try to come here with my family too, because living down there is horrible. But what are you going to do? You can't change it from El Norte. We can't change it. All right. Bill, how many books have I helped you sell? many many over the years back and killing the SS is still in the marketplace so what you're I know you like that book I do with the focus on Israel and the new election so what you're saying is you owe me a favor well Beck you know I'm I accept I accept I accept this to help you I

accept I accept I think on your program every week is not exactly charity I mean that's a pretty good right right here's the favor that i i'm going to call in a chip okay i want you to interview somebody um and and i don't think this is a big favor to ask because once you know the story it's an unbelievable story there is a guy he's a liberal journalist okay his name is blake harris he uh is he was known as writing one of the best books of the year according to publishers weekly and everything else he wrote console wars he's a tech guy. He's a Silicon Valley guy. He starts writing this story about Oculus and this great American story about this 19 year old kid living in a trailer, you know, finally figuring out VR and

doing what nobody else could do. He sells Oculus to Facebook for $2 billion. He is working with Zuckerberg on Facebook until the election. The election happens. He says, that he's going to vote for Donald Trump. He gives a $10,000 donation anonymously to this company that's going to put billboards around the country. And all of a sudden, that anonymous donation is outed and he is blamed for all of the memes, the worst memes that you see on the internet are all coming from him. It's this Facebook Oculus guy.

And everyone reports that he's the worst. human being in the world. Then Mark Zuckerberg, the guy wants to, he wants to, Lucky Palmer is his name. He wants to set the record straight. He says, I'm going to release this statement. Zuckerberg says, no, you're not. You're going to release this one, which says, I'm not voting for Donald Trump. I never liked Donald Trump. I'm going to vote for Gary Johnson, which is not what he was going to do. He took it because he wanted to save his job. And he was like, everybody. he sat around him said, you can sue Zuck, but you're going to, you're going to be tied up in courts forever. He made the wrong choice. Time goes on. He's fired from Zuckerberg. He's, I'm sorry,

he's left to go and pursue other adventures. The guy is destroyed. His life is absolutely destroyed. Blake Harris is given full access to him and to Zuckerberg and all of Facebook because Blake's writing this story about Oculus before the election and then he sees all of this start to shake out he goes in a fan of Zuckerberg and Facebook he comes out saying this is evil what is happening is so wrong they're crushing people it's illegal what Zuckerberg is doing he spends three and a half years writing this book no one in the liberal media they've all turned on him because he said you know, this is what's going on. His journalist, liberal journalist friends have all said,

that's not the kind of political injustice we care about. He's been called a Nazi, a MAGA supporter. He's none of those things. And I want to give you one quote. He wrote me in a personal email last night. He said, you know, his life had been destroyed. He said, then after a cup of coffee, the answer of why would I do this became overwhelmingly obvious, because that's what journalism is.

You follow the story where it takes you, and you never, however tempting it may be, let it go the other way around. You follow leads. You examine evidence. You continue to dig deeper and deeper until you get to the truth, not for the praise you think you deserve, not to try to be everybody's best friend, but because however fast or partisan or cynical, the world has gotten, the truth still matters. He wrote this book yesterday. It was 33,33, 36, on the bestseller list. on Amazon. After the interview, it went to number six on Amazon.

This story is one of the most compelling stories. This guy won't agree with you, Bill, but this guy is an honest guy who's trying to tell the truth, and courage is so rare, I would like you to highlight him and his book. I mean, we'll definitely talk to him. When did the book come out? It's already out. It's been out for a month. Nobody has talked about it at all.

No, he can't get an interview. with anybody. Nobody will put them on. Yeah, we did. We were the first one. I'm afraid Facebook will take Ben out on them. That's how powerful Facebook is right. That's exactly what's happening.

So I'll send you this. I'll send you his information. Please have him on. Yeah, send me all this stuff. I'll be happy to talk to it. Good. Thank you very much. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com.
