Welcome to the podcast. Today, big news about Iran. What actually happened there? Dron shot down. Trump, you know, coming out and saying he was about to attack and then decided at the last minute not to. It's a fascinating conversation about what does this mean? Where do we go from here? And the kind of perspective of this really escalating in Iran, we also talk about Iran with Bill O'Reilly. He's on for the hour. We talk Iran with him. what Trump is looking to do here. He's got to book out about Donald Trump and kind of give the back room sort of perspective there. And what is going on in the media as well, the way they're covering this. And we talk about it, will cereal give you cancer? The answer to that, spoiler alert is no, but the ridiculous environmental study trying to convince you of it is what's really fascinating and how the media has embraced it. and ABC News picking up on Ukraine and China and those stories that we talked about a few months ago. And they're starting to pick up on this too with Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is in a little bit of trouble now. We're going to cover that. And this weekend, if you happen to be a subscriber to this podcast, where you are right now, you're going to get a bonus episode. It's going to come out. It's the Glenbeck weekly podcast interview this week with Blake Harris, a guy who covered technology, had no intent on doing a political book, but realized a guy who is a, you know, a multimillionaire tech inventor, was targeted and eventually fired from Facebook because he supported Donald Trump.

An entire interview happens this weekend right here on the podcast. You're listening to The Best of the Glenback program.

So last night, I wake up and I look at the news and I see that the president has authorized a

strike on Iran and that we had dispatched, excuse me, military, and we had already shot planes off, and they were on their way, and I don't know what their target was. I would imagine their nuclear facilities, et cetera, et cetera. And we had our ships positioned also to attack. Now, he gave the go order. Now, when we found out about it is when the go order then was, rescinded. Now, I'm trying to remember, Stu. Have you ever seen a go order rescinded before in your lifetime? Usually, I'm sure there have been some, but they're not widely reported the next day in particular. Maybe you find that out in a history book, right, like 10 years later with reviewing what went on. I don't think I can ever remember seeing something where the next day,

kind of in real time the night of that this was sort of reversed which makes me wonder is this exactly what Donald Trump wants them to think

happened right like is this exactly the type of thing where you're saying Trump wants to say look he's he's warning Iran look we were about to do this

and that's how close you are to crossing this line I'll give you one more chance I wonder if that was true Yeah, now there's a couple of ways to look at this. And I want to take this all apart this hour. And I just want to take you through some critical thinking on this.

Because, you know, if you listen to the press, I listen to The Daily this morning. From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. And this is the Daily. Hi, I'm your host. And this is the way you're supposed to talk on shows like this. So I listen. And if you're listening to the New York Times, you're listening to, the left, you're hearing the story that Donald Trump is a warmonger and that people in his administration

and the president have just been itching for a fight. Donald Trump is not a warmonger. Okay, let's be really clear on that. There is no way that you can look at Donald Trump and say, yep, he's a warmonger. Where is the record of him warmongering? He has been against every action the United States has taken, I think, in the last 20 years. I think, I think he may have been for the initial strike in Afghanistan. But after that, he wasn't for any of that. He was one of the most outspoken people about you're destabilizing the Middle East. This is stupid.

This is bad. What are we doing? Time to end the war. Bring the guys home. So let's be very clear. Donald Trump is not itching for. a fight. Donald Trump is not a warmonger. Now, you could say that the people around Donald Trump, well, they're warmongers. I'm Michael Barbarrow, and I want to talk to you about war mongering.

Well, that has to, you have to take a very cynical view of people like John Bolton. John Bolton, who I would consider a friend, John Bolton, who is a guy who I have talked to many, many, many, many, many times. I agree with him, probably 90% of the time, full disclosure, because I think he is a truth teller. He is a guy who doesn't put up

with garbage. He's very much Ronald Reagan. They're lying to you. Trust, but verify. Let's not be dopes here. Now, 20 years ago, when John Bolton and I first started talking, you could say that he might have been

more war-mongering when it came to Iran than he is right now. Because just like North Korea, if they get the bomb, they are going to be on the world stage, whether you like it or not, and as the minute they have that, they will do exactly what North Korea is doing, and that is whatever the hell they want. Now, the Obama administration emboldened them. Trump knew that this was a bad deal. So he rejected that deal, pulled it off the table, because that's the only way that you can stop Iran. You either have to do military strikes and hope you don't destabilize the entire Middle East all over again.

You either strike and take them out and have regime change through a military, action, which I think we've had 20 years now of going, that doesn't always work out so well. Or you encourage and you kind of do what Ronald Reagan did with the Pope and Margaret Thatcher. Now, let's just, let's go through this. These were two attacks on two tankers. That's what happened. Oil tankers were coming out into the straits right there by Iran. and they're coming out. There are two tankers from two separate countries. Do you remember which ones they were, Stu?

They were not enemies of ours. And this straight, can you just look up where the tankers come from, Stu? Wasn't it Saudi Arabia and Japan, wasn't it? Was it Japan? You could be. Just looking up to just make sure. But they're, they're well. I know this. I mean, they do business with the West. So if it's Saudi Arabia, it's not a

Western country, but they do business. Providing us oil and providing Europe oil. So now, what would be the motivation for the United States to blow up two tankers? To pin it on Iran? Wow, that seems pretty dicey, because if we got caught, I don't think that would work. out well and in today's world you generally get caught it would be an enormous conspiracy so New York Times and anybody else that wants to go down that maybe we were involved which I haven't heard yet but it is implied I think in reporting this is kind of suspicious okay all right I'll take you at that now the Pentagon says that they have the evidence

they can show it they can show everything about it now maybe they can maybe they can't but let's just think logically what would our motivation be you would have to think well the united states going to blow up the tankers so that will hurt our allies because that will disrupt oil coming now we've got lots of oil so we could be fine but europe's not now donald trump is a capitalist he believes in making money, hmm, he doesn't want to disrupt oil because that could collapse the economy of the United States if the economy of Europe also collapses. Boy, that's quite a stretch.

I have to think this guy and those around him are absolute madmen, that there's no logic going on. Here's a group of people that say they're for the free market, but they're going to set up Iran by blowing up two tankers that will hurt Europe, especially if there's a war. Hmm. How's that going to work out for his election? Now, what is the motivation of Iran? Well, Iran is being squeezed hard by the United States, and they're collapsing.

Now, if you wanted to do the Ronald Reagan, Pope, Margaret Thatcher thing, you'll need a Pope and Margaret Thatcher to show up. Can anyone point to anyone in Europe that has a spine to stand against the leading country of terrorism in Europe? Do you find a Thatcher? Do you find a Pope? For this to be effective, you have to get Europe off of the fence. Ah, Mr. Beck, that's why the United States is doing it. Yes, but again, you have to think that the people in our our Pentagon and on our side are absolute madmen. I'm not willing to go there. I'm willing to be suspicious. I'm willing to say, well, let's look at the evidence, but I'm not willing to say that the people in our Pentagon, then the White House and the president is so warmongering that he would do

this. It because it just doesn't, it won't work. It would not work. They need to send a message to Europe. you by the short hairs. We have you right where we want you. If you stand with them, we can disrupt your economy and your oil. That's why Europe didn't come out and say, no, Iran didn't do it. It's why nobody in Europe came out and said, yes, Iran did do it. What did they say? France and Germany came out and said, well, I think we should proceed with caution here. I'm not really sure if this is, if this is, you know, enough time to be able to really analyze if it was them. They didn't say it wasn't. They didn't say it was. Now, the press will say, well, see, this is how much trust is lost.

No, that's not how much trust is lost. They know in Germany and in France that they are surrounded by people who are like-minded in their faith, who are terrorists, who would, like to disrupt France and Germany, and they know any war with Iran will not go well internally. They also know any war with Iran, it will disrupt their economy. So what you have here is a bunch of people without a spine, or you could look at it positively and say, it's just a bunch of pragmatists. This won't work out well for us, so we're just going to play it here on the side.

That is what Iran does not want to happen. The United States does not want this to happen either. Pick aside. There is no Margaret Thatcher and there is no Pope. But there appears to be a Reagan. Now, this Reagan has been saying, well, look at, you know, there's an evil regime. It's an evil regime.

Yes, that when something happened, they blew our drone out of the sky two days ago. What was the president's response? Well, I'm going to let you hear that warmonger. So, Glenn, we have the countries of origin here for these ships. There's been actually a total of six attacks kind of going back here. The four countries involved, Japan, Norway, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia were the four victims of these attacks and that have been largely blamed on Iran.

Right. and I don't want to call those friends, all of those friends, two are friends and two are frenemies, but they do business with us. In this case, you would call them friends and not friends of Iran. So the United States would think that it'd have to get away with bombing or destroying tankers of those four countries. Get away with it. Now, that doesn't seem like something that we're... We're itching to do, especially since the president has a longstanding record of let's not

destabilize more. All right. So they blow down one of our drones. And what is the president's first response? Listen. Iran made a big mistake. This drone was in international waters. Clearly, we have it all documented.

It's documented scientifically, not just. words and they made a very bad mistake. Okay? How will you respond? You'll find out. Are you willing to do you? You'll find out. You'll find out. Obviously, obviously, you know, we're not going to be

talking too much about it. You're going to find out they made a very big mistake. Now, he went on in that press conference to talk about how he has a feeling. I have a gut feeling and I could be wrong, but usually I'm right. usually I'm right, that they just made a mistake, that this was somebody low level that just made a mistake, made the wrong call, blew this out of the sky, freaked out, and it was just a mistake. Now, we know that's not true because we have them screaming Allah Akbar and the administration of Iran coming out and saying, you know, Allah Akbar, look what we've done to the great Satan.

So we know that's not true. But the press. president was giving them an opportunity to say, hey, mistake. Now, is that what a war monger does? Is that what a war monger does? So to believe that Donald Trump is doing this because he wants war, what you have to believe is that our president is absolutely out of his mind and a warmonger and just wants death. or if you look at his record, you'd say, okay, he's not, but the people around him are out of their mind and they just want death. They want war at any cost. And they're so stupid they think they can attack the assets of four allies and get away with it. Or there's another option. The United States is just a Jewish pawn. Well, that sounds a little like Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders

and everybody else, doesn't it? That's probably a really easy one. If you, believe in socialism. Yes, it's a Jewish conspiracy. But why would the president come out and say it's a mistake? Why would the president come out and order a strike and then come back and say, nope, cancel it? I think the most easy thing to believe here is that the president means what he says when he doesn't want to destabilize the Middle East. And this is a way of sending a very, very strong message without actually lobbying a single missile. Isn't this what we should be hoping for? Could this be kind of dramatic strategy here that the president is coming out and saying,

you know what? I got the guys of the Pentagon and they want to do something and I want to do something. No, no, nope, nope, nope, nope, last second, no, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. Don't make me do this. I'm in your corner because I think you made a mistake. Oh, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. This is a president who is signaling to our enemies.

I got a twitchy eye. But he's also at the same time signaling to you. He's not crazy and out of control and has some sort of Iranian bloodlust. That's what's happening in the Middle East. The Best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast. Yes, it's Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

Hello, Bill. How are you? Yeah, that's me, Beck. I am a beating me. Yeah, that's you. You are just, when I think of, well, not personally, but I know, you were 70 when the beaten me. Knicks were. Yeah, me and Maynard G. Krebs.

You remember Maynard G. Krebs? I know the name, and I don't know why. Dobie Gillis. Dobie Gillis, that's right. Yeah, still before my time bill. The time of all time. Work. No.

All right, you want to talk about Iran, right? Yeah, either that or you're going to end up with Fibber McGee's closet, so yes, I'm going to go to Ron. Yeah, we can ruminate about 50 sitcoms. First of all, you know, you and everyone, else are making the fundamental mistake of believing the New York Times. And I mean, I sit here, and I'm just amazed that the whole country. So the New York Times, once again, because I was anonymous sources and says, oh, Trump is going to blow the hell out of them, but then at the last

minute he decided he wasn't. And everybody came home. Okay. That might be true. But there's just a good possibility that it isn't true because the authors of the article have been wrong 95% of the time in the past what they've written. So I say to myself, they had, I will tell you this, Bill, they did, because I looked for the writers of this article and I thought, okay, which writer is it? But they did. Now, again, just because there's more people that are usually wrong, doesn't make it right. But there were about 10 authors of this article. They seemed to have this. Come on. Are you telling me there's 10 reporters talking to the same person? No, here's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying. I don't believe the New York Times because it's the New York Times and I don't believe the administration because it's the administration. I will look at the facts on the ground and this to me makes sense and it actually works in Donald Trump's favor.

Okay. Now, not if I just take it in your time. But the analysis is based on your gut feeling and your frame of reference from what's happened in the past. So that's what you should tell your listeners that, look, this is what I think happened based upon what I know about the Trump administration. But all morning long, I mean, you empower an organization that has been absolutely dishonest and its report. Last hour. No, no, last hour. That's exactly what I did. I'm sorry, in my introduction to you, I didn't do the hour. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was like, just it.

I'm listening. I'm going, that can't be, can't be given these people any kind of validity. So I think the key question for all Americans is this. What do we want to do about Iran? We as a country. We the people. All right. So you have to start there. What do you want to do about them? So we have that same question with North Korea? and to some extent, China. So, okay, Trump doesn't really want to do anything with them. He'd like them to go away, all right, but he doesn't want to get involved

because that's not going to help him. All right, if you read the- Mr. Davis, go ahead, go ahead. Here's where the media is really doing a disservice to America because they continue to try to make him into a hate monger and a war monger. He is the exact opposite. I don't know of him.

He never has wanted that. He hates that. And one of the things that Trump I get into in the upcoming book is why. And I'm not going to get into it now because it's not important for today's conversation. But there's a reason

that Trump does not want to have a conference confrontation in the Middle East that involves the U.S. military. However, he's going to have to deal with Iran, whether he likes it or not. You're going to have to deal with it. Now, if you think back to the way Bush the Younger dealt with Iraq, he lost control of it. Yes. So that's a lesson for all Americans. Bush the Younger lost control of it, all right? Lyndon Johnson lost control of it. All right. Lyndon Johnson lost control of it in Vietnam. Correct. Correct. It's easy to lose control. Easy. Correct. And Trump knows this. By the way, I have some breaking news, Bill.

Trump just confirmed the reporting is accurate. On that he pulled back. Did he give any, did he say what he pulled back? Yeah, so I have the quote here. What is it that? What is that? It says Monday, this is a quote from Donald Trump on Twitter. He tweeted this. On Monday, they shot down an unmanned drone flying in international waters.

We were cocked and loaded to retaliate last night on three different sites when I asked how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a general. 10 minutes before the strike, I stopped it because it was not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. Okay. I think that makes him look so great. There was anybody in the air? the decision that he made was based upon how many civilians or people around the sites would die. Which the New York Times, which the New York Times reported.

Yes, yes, it is. That's what they, well, no, they, it was not in the initial story. They did, you know, they've reported on it since, but it was not in the initial stories. Right. Yeah, they had that by this morning. And I think, you know. I saw what the New York Times was. and the theme of their story was an indecisive president who was afraid.

Yeah, that's because they don't know. That's what they have. That's because they're cut. And you're exactly right. And that is what I've been saying all day to day. This is a guy who doesn't like war, but he will go to war if he has to, but he doesn't want to. The worst thing you can do is go to war with Iraq.

The people in his administration also know that. the Pentagon has been saying that for 30 years. It's why I think George Bush went to Iraq instead of Iran, because Iran is the real problem in the Middle East, that in Saudi Arabia, but you can't go to war with them. So Bush's theory was put freedom on both sides and pop the head of the snake. For the purposes of helping the American people, which I know you and Stu desperately want to do every second you're on the air. True.

All right. So let's get back to what do you want to do? Because that's where you start when you develop a policy. Now, my opinion is you have to get that government out. But you can't do it militarily at this point. So, Bill, I said this. Correct. And I said this last hour. I believe that Donald Trump would like to do what Reagan did to the Soviet Union. but what Reagan did to the Soviet Union required a Thatcher and a Pope. Tell me who in the world is a Thatcher or a Pope. Right, but here's what you can do, and this is not that difficult.

So Iran is a troubled country because the currency is disappearing, almost like Venezuela. So if you're in Iran and you're holding their money, their money is becoming worthless. and unemployment for the folks is very, very high, tough to make a living. Those are the two things that are happening because of the sanctions that the United States and other nations have imposed. So now, if I'm Trump, I say, all right, look, we've had enough. These people are dangerous and they're trying to disrupt the world. So we're going to have total sanctions. No one buys.

So the United States is going to do that. we hope NATO does it. We're asking NATO to do it. And if any NATO country continues to trade with Iran on any basis, we will take note of that. We're asking China and Russia to do it. We know they won't. But we're asking every decent country in the world, no trade with Iran at all, nothing. Now, you're going to get maybe 65, 70 percent compliance on that because you can put a herd on the NATO countries if they don't cooperate. that's going to be enough, I think, after a year or maybe 18 months to get these mullahs out. I think that the people in the Persians would Iranis, Persia. So the Persian people would rise up and throw them out because they're not going to have anything to eat. It's going to be like then as well. All right. So let me play devil's advocate on that because, Bill, I think that's the only logical thing that we have left to do.

But let me play devil's avid. Let me play the New York Times, which may not be the advocate. maybe the devil themselves i'm not sure all right i'm gonna be really pissed if we go to war on a friday we we cannot go to war on a friday because uh i mean to wreck my weekend it will really wreck my weekend anyway so let me play devil's advocate and i actually heard this today from the new york times i'm listening to michael barbara and uh uh and the new york times uh the daily and they're they're actually saying you know these sanctions they're making Iraq or Iran more dangerous because the tighter the sanctions, they have nothing else they

can do. And I thought, gee, that's like saying, you know, when you discipline your children or you want your children to behave a certain way and you take away their phone, well, you're causing them to be more rebellious. No, what are you supposed to do with a group of people that won't do it? So the press will say, and many on the left will say, this is going to make things worse, total sanctions. It will trap this lying in a cage and the only way to get out

is with its claws. Well, this is John Kerry philosophy. That's what the Obama administration did. So, look, we'll buy them off. We'll give them all these billions of dollars that we froze and hand them that money, which they did in cash. A bill.

We didn't have any problems with them, Did we? We didn't have any problems with that. For a couple years. Well, come on. A couple of years of peace. We didn't have any problems with them? This is what I mean about the New York Times and the false reporting and failure to search for the truth. Everybody knows that Iran and a revolutionary guard has been behind the Syrian stuff, has been behind the Saudi Arabian stuff with the terrorism that's going on.

down there in south of the peninsula, been behind the trying to undermine the Iraq government. These things, it's all they do. They don't do anything else, but try to foster terrorism in the Middle East. Everybody knows that. So all that is just garbage.

You know, you can do the Neville-Chamberland approach and appease, appease of peas, appease. I think the United States has been very reticent and not aggressive enough in Iran, I would have done this total sanction things I suggested a long time ago. Because you're going to have to be in 2003. Yeah, you're going to have to do it. It's going to have to come.

And once they do get a nuke, once they do become North Korea, God forbid, then you have no good options left. You have absolutely no good options. They employ Hezvvvula. Hezbollah is Iran. So Hezbollah basically can take whatever nuclear weapon they have, whether it's a thimble or a full-blown and do whatever they want with it. So, I mean, this is a terrorist state.

The Mollers are a terrorist state. It's not a rational government. So the New Yorker knows that, but we'll never say it. Because if they said it, that would then make President Obama look bad. And that's what's going on there. Bill, what do you say to the people? Because I got this when I worked at CNN, and it was like, are you people insane? Are you out of your mind?

They actually said to me that, you know, the moas don't actually believe in all the religious garbage. They're just saying that to appease their people. And they would never really actually use a nuke in Israel, et cetera, et cetera. I tend to take radical, crazy, religious people at their word. If they say they're going to do something because God told them to, usually they mean it. Do you believe that the mullahs... Yeah, I mean, did they miss 9-11 or were they not here on vacation? Right.

Look, there's no... There are two people you can't reason with. Stu and... No, that's a joke. I'm glad I made a list of the list. Two people you can't reason with. Ideological, political zealots, whether they're left or right, no reasoning with them. All right.

They're whatever mental thing is going on up there, you're not going to get through. And people who are consumed with hatred. Now, there's where you've got the Mullers. I don't know what the Mullers believe, what they don't believe, I don't know what they're doing. I don't care. I know they hate us. They hate everything that America is. Freedom, secular, capitalist,

whatever we are, they hate us. And that's what it is. And you're not going to change it. So why bother even discussing it? I don't even have discussions like that. You either get a strategy to deal with Iran or you don't. I'm hoping President Trump and his administration can come up with one. So right now, I don't know what their strategy is. I'd like to know what it is. Go ahead. You know John Bolton, right, personally? Yeah. Okay. I do too. I like John Bolton. I think he is cut from the same cloth of Reagan. He's not a crazy man. He's not a warmonger, but he doesn't believe

in fooling around with evil. No, he's cheney. That's the problem. So the ambassador is Cheney. They're the same mindset. And their mindset is use American power when it's necessary. And don't compromise and don't elongate it. But he's not going to win this. Yeah, when it's necessary. Yeah, when it's necessary. He believes that Iran's an evil nation has got to be taken off the map.

Not literally. You don't have to kill them all, but it has to be overthrown as a Bolton belief. The regime, yeah. Yeah. And, but do you believe that he's only willing to do that through bloodshed, or do you think he's, no, I don't know. Sanctions and everything else. But, I mean, he's in those discussions, so everybody. Right.

And the Trump administration knows what his strategy is. See, I, again, I would like to know what, what the president's strategy is toward Iran. Are you going to try to overthrow them or, you know, I know you don't want to say that because that could make things worse. But you've got to basically define, look, we have this terrorist state, causing a lot of trouble. We believe it can't continue. That's all. You know, so then the message goes out, okay, something's going to happen. You don't tell them what it is, but right now we don't even know if something's going to happen.

All right. So isn't that exactly, though, what Ronald Reagan did? He called them an evil empire, and it can't last and it won't last. but he still was in negotiations with him. He still was friendly towards Gorbachev, et cetera, et cetera. I'll get your response when we come back. We're with the one and the only Mr. Bill O'Reilly. We're talking about war with Iran and, you know, bad idea.

And I don't think the White House wants it. I don't think the Pentagon wants it. I don't think anybody wants that. the ones who really do kind of want some of it, at least to stir everybody up, I think is Iran. They go after four oil tankers. And the reason why France and Germany said nothing about it, and I'll like to hear your opinion on this, Bill. We came out and said, yes, we have the evidence that is Iran. The foreign minister of both France and Germany came out and said, well, I mean, maybe.

I mean, it's a little too early to tell. they're just afraid of of Iran causing economic disruption for them. So of course that's what they're going to say. Of course. I'm going to Germany next week. I'm going to wise up Merkel. I'm going to, you know, actually. Okay. I am actually going to go.

I'm going to Berlin and I'm meeting some very high-level people over there. And you're right, absolutely right. I mean, they don't want business to be interrupted. That's always a way it's been. Always a way it's been. And the American people don't want business interrupted either. He's Trump. I was going to say, I think Donald Trump is kind of the same, right.

This would be the worst thing that could happen for Donald Trump is more with the sanctions on them and tell everybody to cooperate or, you know, we won't buy their stuff. So that's the way to do it in the short term. And then long term, you've got to figure out your strategy. He's going to take a little bit. But you mentioned before the break Reagan, Reagan, Reagan was obsessed with the Soviet Union. Union, obsessed. And if you read Killing Reagan, I know you read it twice back. It goes all the way back to his Hollywood days, to Ronald Reagan's Hollywood days, when he was one of the guys who actually informed on the communists in Hollywood. Reagan was actually an informer. And he was so angry that he

was exposed in that area that he said, look, I did what I thought I was right back in Hollywood because these people are off the chart evil. So it was personal for Reagan to get the Soviet Union. And that's what that was all about. All right, Bill, let's change the subject. Let's go through a couple of other things quickly. First of all, you just mentioned Angela Merkel. I wasn't going to bring this up. But did you see the video of her shaking? Do you believe that was just dehydration? What people don't know about that is that right before that video was taken, she was listening to Chubby Checker, the twist, and that's what that was all about, Beck. Really?

Really? Are you going to make some Glenn Miller jokes, too, later? You know, you think your audience is like 18? Is that what you're thinking here? No, I don't. No, I don't. I just like making you feel old. I know, I know, I know.

I just like to make you feel old. You can't, because if I understand, look, on this cruise, people are going to see me, standing right next to you, Beck. All right, and they're going to, gee, I didn't know O'Reilly was 10 years old, a younger than Beck. I didn't know that. They're going to see you with their own eyes. Right.

I'm going to get right to the chase. The far left thing that Trump did on Tuesday night is very important for this country and for Trump, but I don't care about Trump. I'm not rooting for whatever. I'm got to watch them all, as you know. You're talking about his rally. Yes. He goes over the most of total waste of time.

We got it. You won, all right? We don't need to hear it 55 more times. Okay. Then he segues into what I've been doing on Bill O'Reilly.com for a month. You've got to define, all right, the danger from Cory Booker and from Bernie Sanders and from Kamala Harris. And the whole crew, you've got to define it so Americans know. This is a dangerous operation, this far-left business.

And then he started to do it, Trump, with the Kavanaugh stuff, and then he got in. But he didn't do it enough. This is the lead, beside the economy. This is the lead. Here's what's going on that everybody should know. This far-left cabal has hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal. Okay, number one. And it's not as big as you think.

It's just well-funded and well-directed. They're organized. All right. They're on social media. There's five or six organizations, and they have hundreds of millions of dollars that spread their propaganda. What they're trying to do is to convince young Americans and minorities that you live in an evil country. America is evil, not Iran, not Russia, America. America. That is the goal. Convince, gullible, naive, ill-informed people that they are living in an

evil country. And therefore, that's what reparations is all about. That's what social justice is all about. That's what let everybody out of prison is all about. That's let the homeless overrun cities is all about. It's all America is evil, evil, evil. If you can get that mindset established. If you can get enough Americans believing that garbage, then you can overthrow traditional America. So now here's the thing, Bill. That's what is going on here. Correct. Now, you not only are trying to do that, but as a side benefit, you also will discredit everything so much that the average person who is not into all of this and chess wants to do their job, they just become sick of it.

And so they're not paying attention and they don't know, they don't want to pick a side because they don't want to be like that. And so the people who have the most to lose don't stand up because they're, they don't know what to do because they haven't really thought of it. Well, that's their fault. I'm just tired of it. I'm not feeling sorry for the morons. I'm sorry.

If you're a lazy person who all you want to do is play video games all day long and you don't know anything, I don't feel sorry for you. So I don't either, but I will tell you, Bill, that I think that that is a hasty generalization of who I'm talking about. I think there are a lot of parents out there who are so struggling with everything else in their life, school. I mean, raising a kid, I got a 15-year-old kid, well, you know your kids. Raising them in today's world is handful enough, and you think, I am just overwhelmed.

You watch this stuff on TV. You don't feel, because this is the lie, you don't feel you can change anything. Two words. Buck up. This is important, okay? I agree. If you want your country, you know, my slogan on Bill O'Reilly, is take your country back, because this is the first time in history that you have had a radical

movement that has been embraced and enabled by the media. You have never had that before in America. Never. Now, your voice is fighting against it. Beck Riley. Go ahead. I'm sorry. A satellite delay.

Closest thing you came to that is probably FDR. where they were in bed with them, but they were not in bed with the riots on the streets. But it was a fundamental philosophical agreement with Franklin Roosevelt, not we hate our country. Correct, correct. You've got to understand the people like George Soros and these people hate the USA. They believe that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were white supremacists. They believe that this country is built on the back of exploiting minorities. They believe it is wrong and immoral to stop anyone from coming here.

Anyone. So what do you take from? They believe will absolutely destroy this country in 20 years unless they're checked. Yeah, it won't take 20 years. I bet we have another five left in us at this pace. No, I don't think it's that bad yet. I hope it's 20 years. Okay, so what do you take away from?

Trump wouldn't have been elected if it had tipped, if the point had tipped, all right? So it's the majority still love their country. But if you're going to sit it out, then you're going to lose your country. And I am so angry about this, because I see it better than anybody, because I went through it.

Go ahead. Bill. what do you take away from Chuck Todd having a moment where he's saying which should not be courageous by any stretch? Why is it I can't critique Ocasio-Cortez what she said was wrong, was wrong, and we shouldn't be standing for it. What do you take away from the lesson that everyone on the left gave to him on shut your mouth and sit down. Listen, first than Chuck Todd is Biden.

Biden can't even come out and say, you know what? I didn't like these southern senators because I believe they were segregationists, but I work with him and we advanced the good of the country. He's a racist. Biden's got to apologize. Now, Conceo Cortez, if I handed

her my book, killing the SS, if I handed it to her and said, look, why don't you read this and find out what concentration camps really were? because you're lying. You're not just misinformed. You're lying. There are no concentration camps on the southern border.

And there never were. You're lying. Here's the proof. Read it. She would not read it. She would not do it. She doesn't care about it, the truth. She despises her country.

She wants to tear the fabric of the country down. So do you believe that... I know, but do you believe that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, et cetera, et cetera, hate and despise our country and want to tear it down or are now afraid of this, of the left, that they are just, they're not going to do anything about it? They're intimidated because they don't want to be torn to pieces like O'Reilly was. And look, when they tore me to pieces two years ago, everybody got the message, all right? The corporation aren't going to back you. They're not going to back you. And you're going to get torn into pieces by the media that despises you.

Well, everybody got it. Pelosi doesn't want people going looking around into her life. She doesn't want that. Biden's just, this is just beginning for Biden. They're going to try to tear his throat out. Okay? And this is what I'm saying. Biden's a white man.

Just because he's a white man. He's not worthy to be president. Now, you think I'm an extremist? You think I'm saying this is exactly what's happening. No, it is exactly. You're exactly right on this. Now, let me ask you this. Does this work to his advantage with the independents who are sick of all of this stuff

when he says, I'm not apologizing for anything? Yes. He stood up to them yesterday. That was the first time he stood up to them, by the way. All right. Yes, I know. He stood up to them yesterday because I know somebody told them to do it. And that helps him with the not crazy Democrats.

Not all Democrats are crazy or hate their country. I agree. This far left cabal is about 15%. But they control the media and they've got unlimited funds. Yep. Yep. All right. Bill O'Reilly, been a fascinating conversation with you today.
