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, 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 a war. 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. 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? Jeffrey, 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 White House.gov and the Wikipedia page. But over on the right, you'll see Abraham Lincoln, 16th president. Do you see that? This is the information provided by Google. Abraham Lincoln was the American politician, a lawyer, who served as 16th president,

the United States from March 1861, assassination 1865. Born February 12th, 1809, height, 64, assassinated, April 15th, party. The National Union Party. Wait, what? What? Hang on, he's what? He's the, what? 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 believe? Who 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 1. 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 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 going to Google, I'm just going to click on it,

National Union Party. Yeah, it's the Republican Party. It's what they called themselves during that election. Yeah, yeah. That's Republican Party. The name used by the Republican Party. Now, how many are going to say the National Union Party? 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 was 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.

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 Google, it's, what's the, it's Amazon. 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, when we are, when I'm not leading the show with Digi's, See the picture of Chelsea Manning in the swimsuit on the beach? No, unfortunately, I did not. Oh, no. In Vanity Fair?

No. Where they called her a stunning American beauty. Oh, my gosh. I think you would agree, Pat. I'd like to. I think so. I think so, yeah. A stunning American trader.

Sure. A stunning American beauty? Go ahead. Go to glenbeck.com right now. The picture is up there. No, thanks. 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 if. It's terrible instinct off of that news.

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 we? 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'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 Sky 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, with 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 been, you know, and I came across you in 2009-ish or so. So I was, you know, 18, 19.

And you being a presence in my daily life apart, apart my life, daily has helped me become the man I am today. You being able, you being there in a daily presence. And I have gone on to do things that people never thought possible that it's been, 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 like of your program for nine, ten years. And it's what's kept me going on. It's what's kept me moving and going and doing things. And I've gone on to, I now independently live on my own.

I drive my own car. I've gone, I go to college. I'm in my second year of college with a grade point average of 4.0. And 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... I never did shows on autism or OCD or any of that. Kevin somehow or another heard that from me. Kevin chose to stop. 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 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, a 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.

Listening to the Glenn Beck Program. I don't know what we're trying to say here. All right. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here.

Although 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. Burry it deep inside. The Glenn Beck Program. And know it's true. Mercury. 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 um did you see the did you see the two teenage girls that put the crying baby in the refrigerator see the video of this no okay so

um two teenage babysitters they're from massachusetts they had they've been arrested and charged with child endangerment and assault they the baby was crying and so they open 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 to cool down and they're laughing and and you know they're smart enough to take a video of this abuse

and they're laughing about it and post it so what happens well they're arrested how mad would you be as a mom, 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. 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 WSBTV. 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's 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. They allowed me to call you, my dad? Again, it would be another lecture for 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.

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 pick 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? It does seem like this is a common refrain. Probably about 50%. Only 50. Yeah, okay. 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. That doesn't happen as much anymore. No, no. You know, and probably by design, her design. But a lot of times. Because I don't think that dynamic is the same.

Like I think Pat's really, 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 do that. Just, just, 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 let it go. 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. 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 no just leave it alone no you know hey you know I think let's hey did anybody see the new movie

you'll hear that but before that you'll hear about three minutes of 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, 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 time out and, you know, I want to be with my friends and I want to, I'm not going to play that game.

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 at eight to 12 minutes of it until you duck out the back door. But yes, you'll be there for it. While you're there, you'll be polite. While I am there, I'm going to be the most polite. If I'm at somebody's house, I'm at,

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 house. She is like, no one is coming to our house anymore. 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 bull crap, I'm going to say that's bull crap 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. Talking to a guy. No, I'm just saying I'd have no tolerance. for bull crap. I'm going to 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 you're 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. Oh, boy, that was fun. Yes, it was. People love seeing you come through that door. Oh, my gosh. Teachers love me.

So I was sitting with the principal at 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. Tony went for the first one and then I went, you know, because I said, I've got some questions.

And Tonya's like, no, don't, no, no. 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, okay. And I said, let her 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 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 she said, my gosh, what experience have you had? And I told her, and she was like, okay, none of that is going to happen here. And I was like, okay, good, I believe you. And I said, 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 American. 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. I said, we're done, okay, I'm good. But last night, we went.

And I was not, I, 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 be 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 schools, experiences. I was like, oh, we have 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, to me, your home. Well, I'm 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 salesmen 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 off. Now, this is the same security system that my children have. We have in their house. And I helped install it. 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 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. Simply safe.

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 to, 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. 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 to, he's 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. And enlightenment. This is the Glen. Bill O'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 Bill O'Reilly.com, he has his own show.

It's a half-hour news show every day, and you can find it at Bill O'Reilly.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 how much of the 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. 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 Zig Heil. 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 analogies 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 Seag 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 do that. 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 the Internet. 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 a organization that he feels is fascistic so it's got to be something else I don't know whether this contract 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 back you mentioned last week on your program it looks to me like they just want to get rid of the guy and this was isn't a convenient way to do it. So, Bill, doesn't this not empower Media Matters like crazy? Of course it does, but Media Matters is in bed with all these people.

I mean, Media Matters doesn't attack CNN ever. The Media Matters does, well, let me amend that. If CNN put on a conservative like you or me, 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 meaty 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... Dark web. Yeah, I mean, who even... 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. Oh, this organization, these are the people that orchestrated the sponsor attacks against me and you. Yeah. 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 stuff that we just pulled up. this is, the worst part about it is these people were so closely allied with Hillary Clinton.

David Brock, who's founder of this, was Clinton's conigliary. If Clinton had ever been elected president, these people would be in the White House, these media matters. And they, 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. 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. They don't believe in freedom of speech. Yes, you're right. They don't believe in freedom of speech. Correct. They operate in the shadow. on the dark web.

They try to hurt people. They try to destroy people. Yes. This is not what our democracy is supposed to be about. This is the most vicious, vile political organization in existence. Yes. And they have power. And money.

Tell me how you feel about what happened at Google this week with that firing. You know, I don't follow it that much because I'm not really into that world of, and I know they're very super, 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.

Right. But it's the same corporation. Correct. Well, but that's what kind of, that's kind of what I want to talk to you about is, you know, as I said earlier this week, look, if fire, Stone 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 don't, that's why we worry about foreign countries holding our bonds. Does, are these corporations that the left loves, are they becoming worrisome at all to you, Bill? That's an interesting question. 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, 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. Right. The more successful corporations become more powerful they become. Yeah. You can expose it. You can tell the folks what's

going on. And you would expect our, the information flow they're getting is not honest. Right. And you can That'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 want to take a break, and then we have a ton to talk about the news 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 business man. 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 Bill O'Reilly.com. Let me tell you about gold lining. 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 risk. When you see this, 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 Jim Rogers, what he said?

Oh, yeah, that he thinks the biggest collapse in his lifetime is coming in the next year. Yeah, he was born right after the Great Depression. And Jim Rogers, so you know, he worked, he started the hedge fund with George Soros. So this guy knows how Soros works. He knows how foreign markets works. 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 is really smart because I don't know what's coming.

Mercury The Glenn Beck Program So I want to go to Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com who just started his news program The No Spin News Every day you can see it and you can watch it at

Bill o'Reilly.com Bill let's switch gears kind of like some advice from you and to 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 in 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 it by myself. how long before bill this becomes the absolute norm you know it's hard to say uh... your blueprint is that we want to deliver on a daily basis uh... thirty to forty minutes of honest news analysis honest in the sense that it's fact based

and we're gonna do that and so we did a prototype this week on bill o're really dot com where i was in a studio in the spiffy jacket and tie and we had guests via Skype, and it went very well. I mean, it looked good, people liked it. We have it up now, Bill O'Reilly.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.

Yeah. That's Bill's head writer. Yeah. Anyway, we don't want any, we don't want any intrud. 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... So you...

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 Pelly, the anchor of CBS News? No, neither does it. Packed in, and nobody even knew. Yeah.

I mean, nobody even said a worry. It was like, poor Scott. He was there six years on every night. He was taking Walter Crockett, 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 capitalist society, this, the Blaise, the Beck Blaze, O'Reilly, Bill O'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, um, you're stunned at that announcement. No, no, no, no.

No, I was actually. You're absolutely stunned. It's so right on. I was, 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, we have to, 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 Bill O'Reilly.com.

That's Bill O'Reilly.com. So let's bring Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly back, Bill O'Reilly.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. 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 um you know some bombing like like you did in

Syria take out uh a strategic military target i mean it's certainly possible but i don't see that happening what i see happening is um 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 Anjala 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 what do 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, of one of our allies or any interest that the United States has, then he will. But I don't see any new 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 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 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 at them. 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, look, Kelly's the guy. They all know. A lot of the shots now. He's never going to do it. Yep, I agree.

So people got to calm down. So the reason that this is taken 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, test too. So here is the second part of that. If this indeed is a 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 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 kid's book,

The Day the World War I 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 it gets people crazy i mean 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 that you're going to have fallout that 60 years makes Chernobyl look like disneyland so i think that when you take that

into consideration um and in your 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, you know, 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 way? 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 Toglio. You don't want to get involved. And some of those were conservative people.

The America First campaign. Yeah, just stay away. We've got two oceans protecting us. Well, now we don't have any oceans. Okay. So it is an emotional issue, but people should know that this isn't like Iraq or Afghanistan and, you know, sending in the special forces to track down ISIS. Not like that.

This guy is, oh, and is playing with something that could obliterate millions of people. And so I have, you know, confidence in the American system. them 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? They say about it. Just any comment on American beauty? I mean, look, you know, if she wants to be in a bathing suit and on a beach, she's a perfect right to do that. If it 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... That's a weird deal. Okay. Okay. 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 guys. He had the contacts. He knew the guys. He knew Boris and Natasha. And so, you know, they went in.

They tried to find out what he has. And I'm glad I'm not Paul Manafort. 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 dweeb, D-W-E-B, word of the day. 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. 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 Chuckie Schumer threatening all of his people. If you don't do what I say, we're going to run somebody against you in the 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 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. You can hear his commentary every day at Bill O'Reilly.com.

To AAA 727 back. This is 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 this story?

I heard it from this week. A little correction ran the next day. It was like, oh, yeah, by the way, this is actually already posted online. We didn't see it there. Where, our story was completely bogus. Yeah. So 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 hit it by putting it up on the internet. That's true. You know? Yeah, I know. I know. You'd actually have to type in Google. As a reporter, you'd have to type into Google, you know,

climate change study White House. You know how hard that is? It's hard. It's really hard. Do you have all your fingers? Okay, well, not you, but does everybody have all their fingers? No, not everybody. No. 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. 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, you know, 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 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. 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. And enlightenment, this is the Glen. 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 there.

everything was going to be fine, right? Yes, I did. And then you go and pick her up, and what happens? I went to her after-school care to pick her up, as always, so about 3.20 in the afternoon. When I got there, it told me that her bus had just arrived, so they called 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 runaround. They wouldn't ask her 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? Shear panic. So once I got to the school, in contact with the vice principal and demanded to know where my child was.

They then told me that she was okay and she was in the 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 then, well, which after-care 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 were 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, 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 and the aftercare facility, so she's very familiar with the proper bus that she needs to catch. So 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 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. 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 defect 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 if she was okay. and she was visibly, well, audibly, say again, 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 fan-acted the driver, what 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 lay eyes on my daughter, ensure that she was okay, and quickly asked the driver what was their protocol for identifying students before they pick them up. And I observed that 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 birthday, and at no time had anyone ever cross-reference to see that the spellings were different. as well as a two-year age difference and different birthdays.

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, don't get into 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've definitely taught her don't go with strangers, and that was one of my number one concerns. But again, when you're senior child of school, you entrusting the school. And your children also entrusting the school,

being that you trust the school to keep custody of them. So, of course, she went reluctantly, of course, but of course it was part of the school system that she felt that was saking her. She went along with them. It was an adult. And when I spoke to her later that even also asked her what happened when she got to the office, and she stated that she was just fitting in her room. I asked it, were the people nice to her, was in one main tour?

She said no. They offered her a bottle of water and a small pack of. of crackers and she said 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 defects before does she know what defects is and of course my child has no idea what defects is so when she got there she again asked 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 how they then just waited for a little while, and that's apparently when they realized they had the wrong child. Oh, my gosh. And started heading back to the school. Okay, so if you don't know what DeFax 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're also talked with the school police.

And I was in sheer panic, sure panic. And so once we sat down at 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 pick time to comfort her and just kind of encourage her that everything will be okay the next morning. I personally took her to school the next morning. The school system had counsel on hand to speak to her. Probably somebody from DFACS, maybe. Did they have somebody from the department?

Nobody there? I know the state likes to counsel children and make sure that they're safe. I thought maybe the state would have somebody there to help your child out. No, the state never offered. This was the school system that offered. Subsequently, the next day when I contacted DFX, I was speaking with the director, her name was Ms. Parrott, and she kind of had the demeanor and the attitude of, well,

You got your kid back. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that we need. So let's just move on. And she promised that I would hear back from her at 1 o'clock that afternoon, which to this point I still have not heard. Oh, my gosh. Getting back from D-Fax.

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 is 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 the sending your children to, you know, school where they allow this just to happen and how do you feel about sending them a 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 never had any problems. The staff has always been great and professional. It's more so the de facto aspect of not 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 instructing 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 will 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, it never happens again to her or any other student. And just different measures and protocols have to be in place. Well, you know...

Particularly in identifying children because the only identifying factor that they had was a name and a birthday, but they should have height, weight, and other identifying measures. You know, Sean, the other part of this is, I mean, 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? How incompetent do you have to be and scar a 7-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 child, 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 and 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. I will 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 an abusive relationship, and by them drop in the ball, she could have been in harm's way as well. Yeah. As my daughter was in harm so he'd been able to

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's 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 this series of events there are, but it's fear and anger are prominent. Ever, 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. Jeffie? Nope, they come back. I know I've told this. I know I've told this story before, but I lost 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, you become, a bear, a caged animal, and is 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.

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 me. 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. We're glad you're here. There's 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. 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, 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 in Family Services, D-FACs, 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 D-Fax 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 heart. hard time with restraint. I would have had a really hard time.

Several stories like that lately. I have no idea how Charlie Gards' parents made it through that. I don't either. I have no freaking idea. And, you know, I don't know what it ends it. 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 would. You shouldn't. It's your child. Yeah, but it's your instinct. You have to remember. 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 run. 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. 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 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 incomprehensible that could happen. Oh my gosh, it's crazy. I wonder, do we have any idea of 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, police officer, or one with D-Fax? No, I'm a state-certified officer.

I'm not going to say with which department. Okay, all right. 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 defects 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 and out later. And D-Fax's 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 D-Fax 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 D-Fax worker for kidnapping. It fits every step 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 do their follow-up reports. And once in a while, they'll do something great. And I'm sure there's some defects workers out there who are great, but I haven't run into them.

Wow, Brian. It's 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?

Government held to the same laws we are. Yeah, they don't think so. Brian, what do you, so what should the average person do? Other than taking safe guards 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 would not be able to handle that case. Yeah. Is it too soon? Is it too soon? No. No, I think so. It's not too soon. Okay. That's been almost 20 years, hasn't you? Jacob.

You're on the Glenn Beck program. Hi, Jacob. Oh, yes, sir. before being heard. I was in a group at a young age. Also 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 it in my great aunt's care. She was a very bad abuser.

She actually lost me in the shed quite a bit, and I'm highly allergic to washast, and she knew there was lost 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 gets back in 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 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 the right for me. They take me out of their hair. They put me in jail, and then 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 schools 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 DCF worker did not believe me. She took me to jail. 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 turn 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 great A student in high school until that happened.

I was a great A student in college. I got a degree. I went to college for three years. I'm need of reading now, currently, just barely getting by. I got a daughter of my own. I'm 22. My fiancee 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 Arkansas Sheriff's Ranch. 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 olameter, a meter, and I make about 1483 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 take her 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 in what it has offered. 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 state care. I've been in jail because I had nowhere to go. I know every single cracking 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's crazy the crap out of me. But, you know, I just, I want 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 the doctor in three years.

Three years, ma'am. 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... 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.

There's some good news to leave you with on the weekend. I'm going to tweet it out and Facebook posted in a few minutes. But it's some of the fallacies about North Korea. For instance, they just, you know, 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. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury.
