The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Great show. Great show for you today. I don't even know how we're going to squeeze everything in to the podcast. We have Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly actually opened up his wallet for $20,000 today.

Yeah, believe it or not. And getting that is like Scrooge at Christmas time, you know. And I felt like I was asking for a scuttle of coal, but he actually did it. And we'll explain why. on today's podcast. Also, he had a lot to say about what's going on with the White House and the press corps. Plus, we had Dave Isay on. Dave has a way for us to come together and he needs your help. He's looking for voices in the country that are pro-Trump that want to help with history. And you'll hear that today. Also, I think in regards to that a little, we should touch a little

bit on how to win friends and influence people. A way for you to actually not have a civil war at your Thanksgiving table. The answer is intimidation and threats. The more you intimidate and threaten people, the more they do what you want. Strangely, not the case. But also, yesterday we picked a name of somebody who could come out and spend, you know, the Saturday with us at our Mercury One gala. Her name was Jody.

She won. I called her today to verify that she was coming. she told me some news. And it actually turned out to be an amazing story. We'll end the podcast with that. You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck program. It's Friday, November 16th. Relief Factor, a company that has changed my life.

My son asked me the other day Can we go bowling, dad? I was like, oh, no, please. Not bowling. Can you mean the sport where you take like three steps and swing your arm? Oh my gosh.

Glenn, back. Okay, there's something that the, there's a new tactic being employed by the left. And it came out this weekend or this week. And if it doesn't backfire, may I use the president? in its word bigly, that I think we're in serious trouble. And when I say we, I don't mean the GOP, I don't mean conservatives, I don't even mean we as a country. I think we as a species are screwed. First, it was a commercial ran by Planned Parenthood, and it used a precious-looking little baby in a lullaby, and then these words, she deserves to be loved. She deserves to be wanted.

She deserves to be a choice. Wait, wait, wait. What? Am I the only one that's not dead inside? How evil do you have to be to see this beautiful child, to hear a lullaby, see this cooing little baby, and then try to think that this baby could have been killed and it would have been a good thing? I mean, it's just really, it's crazy. You know, if you were struggling, this baby deserves to be loved, unless it was inconvenient for mom.

And then mom should have killed it. Oh my gosh. Now, this was just the first crazy ad. The second crazy ad, I don't even know what it's about. I had to ask around, what the hell is this? Celine Dion, everybody's personal favorite. Celine Dion has just launched a new clothing line. You know, that's just what I've been waiting for.

I mean, I've been hearing the clamoring all around the streets of America going, could we just get a clothing line from Celine Dion? Well, yes, yes. She now, she's launched her clothing line with a little mini movie style commercial. But I have to warn you, it's one of the creepiest things you'll hear. well, I was going to say all year, but we're still three, four weeks away. We might hit something even more creepy by the end of the year. Listen to this.

Our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life. For us, they are everything. But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe. Yes. We miss the past. They dream of time. tomorrow. Oh, that's great.

We may thrust them forward into the future. Yeah. But the course will always be theirs to choose. Of course. Now, they're wrapped in pink and blue blankets, but she's about to blow out of her hand some sort of magical, well, it kind of looks like ashes. And it floats around the room of this nursery in a hospital, and all the blue and pink goes away. It all goes away. Oh, isn't that great? And then everybody's wearing black and white. Because our children aren't really ours. Yes, they're the focus of our lives, but we're just an

insignificant little nothing to them. Uh, Celine, it doesn't make me want to buy your baby clothes. Uh, in fact, it makes me want to do the opposite. Uh, really does. Really does. Really does. Um, this is Marxist propaganda. Now our children are not our children. And this has been coming for a long time. Now, Celine loves this because, isn't she Canadian? Canada's been on this, this whole thing of, oh, you know, your children, you know, they're your children until we tell you they're not your children. Because really, they belong to all of us.

You know, the great we. Oh, my gosh. By the way, does anybody know what 1984, they claim that George Orwell may have stolen this idea of 1984. In 1984 is a big government. It controls everybody. Everybody has a number and a name and big brothers watching you. But it's actually, and now that I've read the book, I think you can make a pretty strong case that it was stolen from a Russian novel in 1922. You know what the name of that in the Russian novel is? We. We.

Have you read Anthem by Einrand? Where nobody can say I or me. Each individual is we because the individual doesn't exist. You're not an individual. You're part of the collective. You're just a spoke on a giant wheel. That's all you are. And, you know, if we start to run down to too many spokes or, you know, not enough spokes, you're not really even a spoke.

Because you have to be identical to everybody else and you're just part of the collective. This again is Marxist propaganda. And Celine Dion is shown in this little mini-movie breaking into the hospital nursery where she delivers the line, They have the right to choose. Oh, really? Which turns the hospital into some Orwellian, you know, black and white room, removes all of the pink and blue and changes all the boy-girls, you know, symbolism into like hospital crosses that are just black. Honestly, it looks like they're almost wearing prison clothes.

It's beautiful. No, I seriously, I love my kids so much where they, just everything is black and white in their world. You know, gray? Oh, if we could get them those Nehru jackets? If we could get them the old communist, you know, like Mao jacket for the kids, wouldn't that be cute? The scariest thing about the past seven days or so is I haven't heard any real backlash from either of these. Have you seen a backlash where a beautiful baby is used as a choice?

It deserves to be loved, deserves to be wanted, and deserves to be a choice. Mom should be able to kill this beautiful baby. Are we dead inside? Are we so... Are we so Marxist now? Has the cultural Marxist movement washed over us so much that we're now either just dead inside from all of it? Because we just, I don't know. It's just, where are we starting to believe it?

How long are we going to allow this crap? How long before we all start standing up and saying, No, our children are our children. That's my child. My child. My child is an individual. My child is not a number for the state, not part of the collective. It's my child.

I have the responsibility. No government. No Marxist, no capitalist has any claim to them. And gender? You know, I really feel. I really do feel for Bruce Jenner. I will call Bruce Jenner, Caitlin, out of respect. I feel for him.

I feel for the life that he led. I feel my heart breaks to think the guy that was on my Wheaties box. At the whole time felt like he wasn't himself. He spent his whole life hiding. That is horrible. It's just horrible, but he's still Bruce Jenner. He's still a guy. He might have changed his name, and if he wants me to call him Caitlin, I'll call you, Caitlin.

Because I don't want to be a part of any of your pain. But if you have to put me on the stand and say, is that a male or a female? That's a male. It's a male, period. It's Bruce Jenner. And I can understand, but I am not going to change reality. Now, if Bruce Jenner wants to become Caitlin Jenner and wants to have surgery and everything else, he's an adult. He can do that. He can do that. You have a right to do that. But it is child abuse. child abuse to to suggest that a 10-year-old should be giving hormones,

that a 10-year-old should be allowed to choose at that point. This is crazy talk. Any attempt to trivialize and to diminish life, any attempt to trivialize or diminish the family, any attempt to trivialize or diminish the individualize or diminish the individual, individual into the basic we. Any attempt to trivialize or dismiss basic science should be met head on. Now, I don't know how many people can still stomach hearing my heart will go on one more friggin' time.

But please, for the sake of sanity, Celine, I'll buy a ticket to your show. I'll endure that if you will just close your mouth, stop trying to preach Marxist propaganda, and we'll listen to your damn. Oh my gosh, the boat is sinking song. The Best of the Glenn Beck program. So yesterday, this guy, this kid in junior high, calls me up and he says

Glenn I'm having a really hard time educating my friends because they don't really want to hear it and I can I can be I don't remember the word he used exactly but it was basically I can get heated at times

belligerent yeah a little belligerent was that the word that he used I don't remember but that's yeah it was in that neighborhood it was probably not that strong but it was in that neighborhood and so he asked for advice And the thing that came off right off the top of my head was you need to read

How to Win Friends and Influence People. Now, I haven't read this probably since I was a teenager. This is my dad. My dad was, oh, I mean, how to win friends and influence people? That's the greatest book ever written. I'll change your life. Last night I reread it, and it was like having a conversation with my dad. And I realized where so much of what I believe comes from.

I mean, if you really want to know who I am or the basis of me, a cornerstone of me, it's this book. And it's amazing. It is amazing. I had forgotten how good it was. You're going to have dinner. Welcome to the program, Pat Gray. You're going to have dinner with your relatives who are absolutely the, on the, on the wrong side of every argument.

Here's how you, here's how you have a really good Thanksgiving. I'm just going to, I'm going to give you the highlights. Fundamental techniques in handling people. Number one, don't criticize, condemn, or complain. Human nature does not like to admit fault. When people are criticized or humiliated,

they rarely respond well. Two, give honest and sincere. appreciation. Appreciation is one of the most powerful tools in the world. People will rarely work at their maximum potential under criticism. Three, arouse in the other person an eager want. Together we want from another person, we must forget our own perspective and begin to see things from other people's perspectives. Six ways to make people like you more. Be genuinely interested in other people. to smile. This is something my father did. If he told me that story one more time, my father was, look, he was horribly abused as a kid and he had nothing to go on. So he just looked for great ideas.

He was kind of a Willie Loman kind of guy where he just didn't have a lot of friends and he just worked all the time. but his friends, I found out later in life, were people like this, Norman Vince Appeal, that were just his book friends. And he would take these ideas and he would apply them. And he told me, he said, son, he said, I want you to do this. He said, I did this when I was like 18.

I walked down the streets of Seattle. And he said, I walked down one side of the street, and I frowned at everybody. And I just kind of looked at them and just kind of dismiss them. And he said, everybody I met was a grump. He said that I crossed the street

after a few blocks, and I decided to smile. And everyone I met on the other side of the street greeted me with happiness. He said, so either there's a problem, you're on the wrong side of the street, or it's what you're putting out. This is Norman Vincent Peel.

Again, smile. Remember that a person, remember a person's name. Oh, that's a really hard one. Be a good listener. Encourage people to talk about themselves. Talk in terms of other people's interest. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, now listen to this.

If you apply these at Thanksgiving, you are going to find a completely different atmosphere. Listen to these 12 ways to win people to your thinking. One, the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. whenever we argue with someone, no matter if we win or lose the argument, we all still lose. The other person will either feel humiliated or strengthened and will only seek to bolster their own position. We must avoid arguments whenever we can. Two, show respect for other people's opinions.

Never say you're wrong. How many times have we said that? How many times have I said that? we must never tell people flat out that they are wrong. It will only serve to offend them and insult their pride. No one likes to be humiliated. We must not be so blunt. That's the word that kid used.

Blunt. Yeah. Three. If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. Whenever we're wrong, we should immediately admit it. Four, begin in a friendly way. If we begin interactions with others in a friendly way, people will be more receptive. Five, start with questions to which the other person will always answer, yes.

That's the theory in my book about the unum. Where do we agree? Where do we agree? Find the things that we agree on. Start there. Let the other person do a great deal of talking. Number seven, let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. try to see things from the other person's point of view.

Other people may often be wrong, but we cannot condemn them. We must seek to understand them. Success in dealing with people requires a sympathetic grasp on the other person's viewpoint. Nine, be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. People are hungering for sympathy. They want us to recognize all that they desire and feel. If we can sympathize with others, they will appreciate our side as well, and it will often come around to our way of thinking.

Now think of that. When people say, I don't want to know what they're thinking. I don't want to because it's wrong. Well, no, no, no. You're looking at the solution. Listen to what they're feeling. What their feeling is real. Their solution may be bogus,

but what they're feeling, and think about you. Where is a lot of this anger coming from. This anger is coming from the place where we don't feel heard. If the media would actually listen to us, actually listen to us, our world would be a lot different. If they reflected our point of view and if they would look at us and say, well, that's not racist, wait a minute, you have to understand what these people are feeling is a loss of the country that they grew up in, a loss of the values that they grew up in. And those were values that have been here for 5,000 years.

They're not racist or xenophobic. They're having all of the basic principles shift under their feet. Wouldn't you be more apt to listen to somebody who understood you? Dramatize your ideas. Throw down a challenge. The thing that most motivates people is the game. everyone desires to excel and prove their worth. If we want someone to do something,

we must give them a challenge, and they will oftentimes rise to meet it. But be a leader. Don't give offense or arouse resentment. Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly. No one likes to make mistakes, and no one likes to have others pointed out in front of other people.

Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other. others, ask a question instead of giving a direct order. Listen to this one. Let the person save faith. Nothing diminishes the dignity of man quite like an insult to his pride. How many times have we said, for those people who, let's take on our own side, for those people who have been with Donald Trump the whole time, what are you doing? What are you doing?

when you have people that are coming, like for instance, me or anybody else, when you have people start to come into the tent, why would you say, Well, it's about time. You were so stupid. Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Welcome them. If you have somebody from the other side, well, you've been wrong your whole life.

You know, it's part of your problem that we have these problems. They're not. They, stop. They're coming. into the tent. Embrace them. Hug them. Oh man, we're glad you're here. You see this with the Clinton thing right now is one that I struggle with because, you know, oh, I know. Where were, where was the media? Where was the left during all of these years where Bill Clinton was the same horrible person he is today? Now, finally, after Hillary's lost a couple

times and the family's going, you know, see this, but this is set out to pasture, it's okay. But this is, I think, where we miss the boat because we immediately jumped to the media and the politicians. They're not honest. Yeah, no, it's true. That's not who I'm talking about. Forgive the media for what they're doing. No, let's point out when they're right. Let's point out when they're wrong. And let's welcome them when they're right, you know, if that ever happens. But it's not, we're not talking about them. I'm talking about the people at your table next week. I'm talking about the neighbors. I'm talking about the people that you work with. This is about one-on-one. This is not about changing the media.

this is or or Washington this is about changing the people around you yeah because we do basically the opposite of everything you just described in that from the book right now we're we're doing the opposite of all of it everybody does both sides uh-huh one side's worse than the other yeah and it's I don't know I mean I think because I definitely handle issues on this show differently than I would handle them with you avoid them I was trying to convince no okay okay you know because you know because we you know because we do this for a living. When you go out to dinner with anyone, they basically ask you lots of political questions because, you know, that's what you do. You talk about the other person's work. And if the

person I'm talking to is not on the same side of the issue as me, I tell them how stupid they are. I tell them how dumb they are. No, what's wrong with you? Why are you such a dumbass? I am not reaching for the check when it comes. You try, you do almost all the things you just listed. And I would do, I do those all the time. You want to, if you're trying to convince them or at least trying to make them open their mind to the possibility that maybe they're not right. Yes. You use those things.

Now, when we're on the show, I don't do that. Now, a lot of that is, that's a problem. I don't know if it's a problem or not. I'm conflicted with it because part of it is we're talking to an audience largely that understands the basic foundations of what we're talking about, right? Like, this audience, generally speaking, is going to know that higher taxes are bad, right? So I don't need to slow play that and no, but try to convince them of that. No, but here's where we don't do.

Why was Rush Limbaugh so popular in the 90s? Because he taught you how to win an argument. Okay. And he had to teach you. He wasn't talking about how to finesse it. He was just teaching you the basic principles that we now, you say, we all have, that this audience understands the basic principles.

Okay. But what we didn't do, that was back in the 90s, and that worked because nobody had any of the facts. We needed to have that baseline, and we still need to teach people baseline stuff. But now, you know, around 2000, that was over. People were condemning Rush Limbaugh, and if you said it came from Rush Limbaugh,

well, you roll your eyes. Now it's Fox. Anything comes from Fox? They roll your eyes. You used to say you didn't want to put your own names on your books. You didn't want to put Glenn Beck on the book because it was just people wouldn't take it seriously if they were on the left. Correct. Correct. So what we need to do is start teaching people and you can't. Here's lesson number one. Read this book. How to win friends and influence people. Read it.

Because it has all of the answers on how we can move forward and actually make a difference, not just politically, but also. at the Thanksgiving table next week. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. Like listening to this podcast? If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes. But while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show. Relief factor. Yeah, we've seen a huge change in Glenn over the years because of relief factor,

which is good for me, too. It'll help change the lives of people around the person in pain because the person in pain is less annoying. I don't think this is the way. of relief factor. Is it really? Yeah, it is. It's a new one.

I came up with it. You'll be able to tolerate the people who are in pain. That is so empathetic of you. Thank you very much. You struggled with us, you know, for a long time. Yeah. And I was at the end of my rope about a year ago. And my wife said, just try it.

Just try it. Everybody at work is trying it. And I'm like, it's not going to work. It did. I took it for three weeks. I saw an enormous change. And I haven't stopped taking it since. and that's about what 70% of the people who try it for three weeks.

That's about 70% of them do exactly what I did. Oh my gosh, it works. So take it. Relief Factor. Try it for three weeks. If it doesn't work, you're out $20 in three weeks. If it does work, you get your life back. Relieffactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com. Mr. Bill O'Reilly, it has been a pretty hectic week, but I don't know the last week that we went, Not really nothing happened. And I think we should start with your op-ed today, the Trump Media War. Okay, back on, ready to go. Good, then go. The Trump Media War is, I would say, depressing to Americans who are thinking people

because it basically signals that there's not going to be any unity. in this country while President Trump is holding the office, because neither side is going to back down. All right. But then I took a letter out of my historical collection by Harry Truman, which makes the column really worth reading, and I say, this is nothing new. And Truman just excoriates the media and gives examples about how it was so unfair to Abraham, Lincoln, and George Washington and other presidents. So it really isn't new.

What is new is the media. machines, the tweets, the hysteria on cable news, all of that is new. But, you know, it seeps into the culture and it makes us a more disagreeable population back. So let me go back because, you know, the first paragraph of your op-ed, which is honestly the only paragraph I read. Mr. Preparation. It was about Jim McCann. Costa. So let me go here because you're absolutely right on this has always been this way. It's just everywhere now and it's in our own personal life and we are participating in sharing it now.

So it's everywhere. But let me specifically go to Jim Acosta because I'm really, I'm, I'm, I'm, sick of this debate here. I think, and correct me, tell me where I'm wrong here. I think, and correct me, tell me where I'm wrong here. I think the president taking away Jim Acosta's pass, White House pass, is justified in this case because Jim Acosta needs somebody, should be CNN, to say, Jim, there are rules. And you can ask a follow-up question. It used to always be, sir, I have one question and I'd like a follow-up. Yes, go ahead. Then the follow-up. He would not stop asking questions.

The president answered. He really tried to answer to the best of his ability and peacefully and nicely. Jim Acosta really didn't even ask a question. He was just trying to condemn the, he was picking a fight with the president. CNN should have said, Jim, stop it. We don't behave that way. And I don't care how the president behaves. We're not going to behave that way.

So the question is, is this a freedom of speech issue? or freedom of the press issue. I don't think it is. No, it's a quality control issue. I'm bill o'Reilly.com. That's where the column that you refuse to read it, and, Beck, you're wealthy enough to have people read it to you. Oh, I can't pay people enough.

I can't be people enough to follow you and read it. Oh, they can't do it. They're like, please. The columns on billowryly.com, and yesterday we brought in a guy, a lawyer, former prosecutor, who went down line by line over CNN's complaint and pointed out at least a dozen inaccuracies in the complaint to the federal judge. They were flat out wrong and provable wrong. You could see it with your own eyes. And I said, well, will that influence the judge? The CNN's not telling the truth about Jim Acosta and the

what happened in the White House briefing room. He said, well, it shouldn't influence the judge's ruling on the constitutional request, but it'll tee off the judge because the judge will see that CNN is lying, which they clearly were in the complaint. So that tells you that CNN has no interest. Give me the lies, because I miss that. And that sounds like the first segment. Bill O'Reilly.com every night. I know.

It sounds like the first segment in three years that I've been interested in. Oh, come on. He's just a jealous guy. He is, Bill. I agree with you. Rub some of that pain killer on your forehead right now, will you? Gee. Okay, go ahead.

Okay. So basically, CNN alleges in its complaint to the federal judge that Acosta simply asked a question. That's lie number one. It's not what he did. All right, he harangued the president and insinuated that he was lying when he labeled the caravan an invasion. Correct. That's not a question. It's an insinuation and a harangue. And everybody knows it.

Nobody's going to say it isn't. Even the people at CNN wouldn't say it isn't. Yet the management puts that in writing to a federal judge. Come on. It's ridiculous. So your question was, shouldn't CNN try to rein in its chief White House correspondent from disrupting a national press conference? And the answer is CNN wants the disruption.

It's the only way they're going to get in the news. their ratings are horrible. And so their business model is to destroy the Trump presidency. So of course they're going to say, Jim, you know, go on and CNN's not Dan from the White House. They have correspondence that cover the presidential press conference, just not Acosta, because he will not obey the rules of decorum. Well, here's a, let me play devil's advocate. And I do not think this is what's going on.

But we have to protect. I don't want a, you know, I wouldn't want, you know, Fox News to have, who was it, Major Garrett, was really good at holding Obama's feet to the fire. Jake Tapper, when he was, I think, with ABC, he was really good at holding, they were the only two that did. And I don't want the, hang on, hang on, I've hyped down for a second, man. So, for, I don't want the president to be able to say, I don't like the fact that he has. ask me tough questions. What I want is they have to be respectful. And those guys were. They were always respectful of the president and the office. That's not what's happening with Jim Acosta. If he were asking questions, tough questions, he would have every right to do it. And I would

celebrate and I would stand behind his right to ask the toughest questions. But that's not what he's doing. But it's obvious. It's not what he's doing. And the White House, denying him the press pass was not based on editorial content. It was based on behavior. He was misbehaving in their opinion, in the White House opinion. So now the judge has to make that termination. I have to say, was it the banishment of Acosta based on his behavior or was in an editorial statement? And I think it's clear. clear. That it was behavior.

Bill, you'll see if the judge, who is a Trump appointee, comes back today and gives CNN relief. All CNN is asking for it today is a restraining order against banning a cost, not the whole decision. But what the judge will say is yes or no, you have to give him the pass back. Why did he ask for an extra day? I don't know. I believe that this is obviously the judge's big moment in the spotlight, and he wants to probably go over his decision every word of it because he knows he's going to get hammered either way. Whatever his decision is, the judge is going to get hammered. So he wants to go over a little more time and just get the wording correct.

That's speculation, but that's what I would surmise. Bill, separate from the actual court proceedings, as you said, something, and I think I totally agree with it, which is CNN wants the disruption. This is the way they're making news. You know, Jim Acosta doesn't care about the truth. Jim Acosta wants to be a star. He wants to make him, he wants to put himself and elevate himself to the level of a fight with the president of the United States. My question is, just strategically from the Trump administration's standpoint, doesn't this elevate him and put him on this platform where it's Trump versus Acosta, and it's giving Acosta everything he wants to be a martyr for the First Amendment.

Well, Trump sees it differently in the sense that Trump wants to build a wall, not only to keep out migrants on the southern border, but against criticism from the national press. And part of the wall is convincing Americans that the press will never report accurately on him. And look at this guy, look at him. So the Trump administration, believes that Acosta's aggression helps them by diminishing the press in general. And, you know, I'll tell you what, if you look at the surveys about Americans and how they

feel about the American media, they're down there in the 30s now. They don't trust them. They don't like them. So it could be something to that. So that's why Trump is doing it. Why did Fox take the stand with CNN? Well, that's an excellent question, Beck. Of course it is. It came from me.

I know. A guy who doesn't read the research material before he interviewed. Oh, you know I read every word of that damn thing. I had to take no-dose to get through it. I know, Vick. This is a evaluation on the Glenn Beck radio program based upon my knowledge of what is happening at FNC. Okay. regime change that happened when Roger Ales left the company now the new people are not

of the same mindset of Mr. Al's all right that's number one so there has been a change a shift and the shift has basically been we have to become more mainstream not more liberal all right but more mainstream we have a powerful brand we have a powerful brand we have the loyal audience, and now we have to get closer to the other national media. That's what we want to do. That is the strategy. That won't work. Okay.

Well, maybe not. Well, I mean, what is mainstream? Why they did what they did what they did? Right, but what does mainstream mean? We want to be closer to the mainstream mean. They want to be in the club. Never be in the club. Well, we celebrated when you and I were there.

We celebrated the fact that we weren't. not in the club. We enjoyed the maverick status, which propelled Fox News to the top of the news ratings. That attitude, like, we don't care about the corrupt media because we know they're not telling the truth, and we're happy we're not in that club. That has changed. The day that Fox News fires their entire prime time lineup, and to replace it with Shep Smith, is the day they would consider considering allowing Fox News

into the club for about two days Fox News is so demonized by the far left that no matter what it does but Fox News does not want to be criticized by the Washington Post

and the New York Times and CNN. So they said okay well we'll throw in with the freedom of press movement and we'll file an amicus brief and maybe that'll send a signal that we want to be friends.

We want to be friends with you guys. Okay, so Bill O'Reilly, when we come back, I want to talk to a little bit about the border and what is happening. And something I actually heard today driving in on, I don't remember what it was, some liberal podcast that I was listening to driving in, and they said, you'll notice that the left or the right

is not even talking about the border. They don't even care about the border. They've dropped that. No, no, no. We're talking about it. We're very concerned about it. In fact, I'm wondering what the president is going to be doing about this now. So we go to the caravan and Mexico and how Mexico has provided police escorts to our border when Bill O'Reilly comes back.

Bill, some news just broke that the judge has sided with CNN on... Yeah, I see it. Yeah. Your thoughts? Well, you're so lucky to have me here. I know I am. It'll be interesting to see if the White House appeals. Because basically the judge is saying, this is Timothy J. Kelly, you can be rude, you can be disruptive, and he says it.

All right? You can do whatever you want and not lose your credentials. That doesn't make any sense. So, okay. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. Well, certainly he will be overturned, I think, by the Supreme Court. And, you know, if they appeal it to the liberal appeals court in D.C., they'll lose.

But if they want to bring it to the Supreme Court, they'd win. No doubt in my mind, it went. But the other way to handle it is, all right, Acosta, you know, he's your press pass-back, and never mention him again, never recognize him, never call on him, just freeze him. So what do you do then? Then if he disrupts the press conference, if he, like, says, I, well, my question, you haven't called on me or whatever,

then you can say, thank you, ladies gentlemen, we'll see you soon and walk up the stage. He won't do that. You could do that. You could do the passive-aggressive thing and just ice them. Or you could try for the big, you know, Kahuna and have the Supreme Court say,

no, the government does have a right on its own property to regulate disruptive behavior. You know, editorial behavior. There's nobody in their right mind. You cannot run a society. There is no civilization without being civil. That's right, without rules.

Right. So, I mean, this doesn't make any sense at all. You cannot just act any way you want. The Trump administration, the first thing you have to do is make some rules and distribute the rules. They don't have those now. That's a problem. But again, if they did, then they'd sue on that.

Oh, you mean, you're limiting our access to the president and limiting what we can't do it. Bad ruling. What are you going to do? This is our democracy. This is the way we do it. Okay. But the Trump administration has a couple of avenues to go if they want them. Let me go back to the border.

You say that the new incoming president of Mexico says he's going to legalize all drugs. doesn't this take the Yal Capone No No This all this does is cut the overhead for the cartels So they don't have to bribe as many Mexicans And hire as many gunmen And shoot at the police in the army

Wait but you don't have to shoot at the police if it's legal I know that's who it cuts their overhead So they don't have to spend that All right And it only goes, oh thanks Where do they make their money back Not Guadalajara Not Mexico City

they make their money in Chicago, New York, L.A., and all American cities. So it just makes it easier for them to bundle up their product and send it El Norte. This is the best thing that could possibly happen to the cartels. So what does that mean for America and our policy? It means we have twice as many hard drugs. No, no, I mean our policies, our policies. For instance, I'm done with Mexico. when they escorted those buses, they escorted the buses with Federallis to our border.

That's not what a partner does. They're doing that to protect the migrants from people who would beat them up and rape them. I've been done with Mexico for a long time. And I did go down there in the spring to Baja, and I did some reporting down here about how they were handling their military and dispersing them to fight to cartels, that's all gone. But now the argument for a border wall becomes even stronger when you say, okay, so now we have a free fire zone in Mexico, they can do anything they want in hard drugs, so we've got to make it harder for them to get it into America, no. And the people still, the liberals still wouldn't put the wall because eventually they want legalized

hard drugs here. You know, it's interesting, I'm watching, switching back on the TV. Fox News is ignoring the ruling. They're ignoring it. And CNN's having a limbo party. Limbo now. This is so funny. You know, how this whole media thing is now based on Trump. Everything, 100% of it is Trump.

They don't have anything else. They're going to have to run Andy Griffith reruns if Trump, you know, takes a vacation for two weeks. They don't have anything. Go ahead. Bill, let me change subjects here. Sure. You know, I do a, I run a charity as you run yours.

And this weekend we're having an auction to raise funds. And I just wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention, because I know you collect, you know, rare writings. We are, we've formed a partnership with the Lincoln Museum in, in Illinois. And they're the ones who have the original Gettysburg address. And as you may know, there's only Abraham Lincoln made a copy of it.

And there are no other copies. This, we have asked them, and shockingly they said yes, if they would make a high-res certified copy off of the original. So it's the only copy of the handwritten Gettysburg address that we know of that is that is you know up for auction and existence and I just I just wanted to bring it to your attention that you know the bidding is they

going to make a lot of copies or just one no this is it is it are they going to make one high res this is it I'm I'm holding it right now this is the only copy that they have ever made and they will make I might bid on that deck so it can And I put you down for a number? What do you have now? $3 million. That's what you have. No, the bidding, I don't even know.

Do we have a bid on this yet? Yeah, but he's going to, I got to nail him down to a price now. What kind of, what do you know the number? $15,000 is the opening bid there, Bill. You should triple that at least. Huh? All right, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go 20. You go $20,000?

Yep, from Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Wow. Wow. Nice work, Bill. What a guy. What a guy. I am a swell guy. You really are. You're a great guy, and you've just bought something that Glenn wrote down with a pencil a half hour before the show started. You know, I'll frame it and put it in my garage.

Bill O'Reilly. A picture of Beck forging this, by the way, if you do, I'd like to have that. All right, Bill. Thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you. All right. Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys, and check out killing the Great gift for anybody who likes history for Hanukkah, Christmas, and all of that. It is a great book. Thank you so much, Bill. Appreciate it.

All right, guys. Cheers.
