Hey, podcasters, we got a great, great episode for you on Friday.
You know, we start talking a little bit about the YouTube algorithm and how many people have been silenced just this week.
And the problem we've had with eBay, I posted a painting of mine, an anti, well, it started out as an anti-Hitler propaganda piece back in the 1940s.
and I've painted it in one of my 10-hour memes,
and it's an anti-plan parenthood thing.
Well, it was put up on eBay,
and lo and behold, it was taken down immediately.
All the proceeds go for pro-life activities.
And the reason was, is they said they thought it was fake
because it was too inexpensive.
Oh, the dips that they will stoop.
So we'll talk about, we started talking about that, and Stephen Crowder, also Bill O'Reilly in rare form, Pat was with me all day to day.
We kind of took a trip and a flashback back to our show, Glenn and Pat, 30 years ago.
And the 13-year-old that stood up for life, and we end the podcast with very important beacon.
I believe we've all stepped through a wormhole and we're no longer on the earth that we were born.
on. And it's happened just recently. And I prove it to you in today's podcast.
Tudda.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
So I was driving in this morning and and just thinking about the news and I started going through
everything. I got here and I just, I tweeted out a couple of stories that were just, there's
just crazy. First of all, do you see the Saudis that threw the cake?
in the lion's face?
No.
Okay, this is nuts.
They have apparently a pet lion, these Saudis,
and one of them is having a birthday,
and they come down to this lion that's just kind of like hanging out at their feet.
And everybody's around, and they're singing happy birthday,
and the guy's like, oh, yeah, look what I'm going to do.
And he throws the cake in the lion's face,
and the lion jumps up,
and I've never wanted a lion to do what lions do best.
more than at that moment.
I just wanted to see the lion just
mull the mall. It was
so horrible
what they were doing and the lion just jumped up
and he was confused and didn't know what
was going on. So I
watched that, hoping for
a good mauling, but apparently
they didn't get a good mulling though.
Didn't. Oh. No.
No, no. No how viral that
video would have been. Apparently
they're in trouble in even Saudi Arabia.
Even the Saudis are like, look,
we beat people and behead people in the public square, but this is too far.
They even crucify.
They've been crucifying people lately.
Did you read about that?
Yeah.
You read about that?
No, I didn't.
Yeah, they've been crucifying people.
I thought, okay, that's, I mean, isn't that, they're too barbaric to be our friends.
They're too barbaric.
You think?
Yes.
You think.
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, I would happen to agree with you on that one.
By the way, the Jay Leno thing you just did.
my algorithm I can't figure out on YouTube
you know how YouTube has algorithms for all of us
and it just it's presenting us with what we want
so I'm watching all kinds of stuff
I'm watching all these talks between people
you know I'm watching you know conservative points of view
and I occasionally would watch Jay Leno
and his you know garage
oh yeah yeah I've seen that
I love that show.
I just love that show.
So I would occasionally watch that.
Pat, it's now the only thing the algorithm picks up on me.
So all of my suggestions, it's like, well, he likes conservative stuff.
You would think a Glenn Beck video might show up to Glenn Beck.
Nope.
Never happened.
Never happens. Literally, I checked it last night.
I was searching for some, I don't remember what it was, some news thing.
and I search it, find it, play it,
and then I look at the recommendations.
Every single one was Jay Leno.
It's like, I want, I just, I would, I'd pay money.
I would pay money to have Jay Leno's algorithm only show my stuff.
That would be fun.
Yeah.
Anyway, it's amazing how that doesn't happen, though.
I mean, it doesn't happen for any of us.
I never get, I don't, I've never gotten your stuff.
I've never gotten my stuff.
I've never gotten Ben Shipp.
Well, the Piero's stuff.
We can't.
Stu, me, apparently you, we don't get anything from the blaze.
Never.
I've never gotten anything from the blaze, not once.
Interesting, isn't it?
Not once.
Yes, since we're part of the blaze.
Yeah.
And we watch the blaze.
All the time.
And we search for the blaze.
Yeah.
Apparently no.
Apparently no.
I mean, you know, something's wrong.
And obviously, we all know that something's wrong.
It's the algorithm.
And, you know, I've never.
never been more wrong than, well, I was pretty wrong on Donald Trump.
But in that same category, Mark Zuckerberg.
Yeah, we were just talking about that on my show this morning.
When you defend, not how wrong you were, but when you defended the guy.
Yeah.
And that's meant nothing to him, apparently.
No.
And, but I didn't do it for favors.
No, I know it.
I actually believe him.
I know, but you would think he would, I don't know, be sympathetic to the cause because somebody
jumped into his aid when he needed it?
No, he doesn't care. He doesn't care.
He doesn't care. Not at all.
And he's a total and complete fraud.
Yeah, absolutely.
I was, I was, I trusted him, but I also didn't like the suggestions of, well, you need a
hiring quote of the conservatives.
Right.
That's not a conservative point of view.
No, it's not.
But something has to happen.
And these guys, what they're doing now is of, uh, is of,
seen. By the way, the
Blaze has now
for, what was it,
three weeks,
we were,
uh,
what was it? They said we were fake news.
And so we fought that.
And we won.
Who said we were fake news?
Um, Facebook.
Said that, said that,
uh,
the blaze was an unreliable source.
And so we fought it. And the guy we had to fight was a guy who worked at
CNN for like 20 years.
And he was just a jerk.
And so we fought that
and we won.
And so they opened up the algorithm again
to us. Then
two days later
we are banned
from posting anything
and sharing anything
because we're only
clickbait and that one you can't
fight.
Wow. So the blaze
the blaze on face
book is...
And that's until Saturday?
No, no, no. That one's permanent.
You don't fight it.
We're not just in timeout.
That's permanent?
Yeah, we can post things as of Saturday.
I don't remember, it's real complex.
We can post things as of Saturday, but it affects our algorithm.
That designation...
Go ahead. Say it out loud.
Right, right.
That designation affects our reach.
So we, you know, even if you signed up for us, you're probably not going to get stuff from the blaze.
Crazy, right?
Yeah, I mean, they've got to be pulled before Congress because this just isn't right.
They can't have the protection of being a platform when they're publishers.
So now I have, so now I have the latest yesterday I presented this beautiful piece of art.
I mean, it is lovely.
It is lovely, right?
I mean, you could think of a million places to hang that.
Right?
Oh, Jackie would love it.
Pretty much anywhere.
Pretty much anywhere.
Anywhere.
Okay, so it's based on like 1943 war propaganda from the United States.
And it was Adolf Hitler holding war bonds.
So I took it and I made it like a newspaper, 50 million killed, which is 11 million short now.
than what it actually is.
And I did this after they failed to ban infanticide.
And so it's a picture of Hitler, and above it, it says,
next time I'll just call it Planned Parenthood.
That's great.
So, I mean, there's no place to hang it.
We're going to hang a big weird picture of Adolf Hitler.
But I made it.
I call them a 10-hour meme.
I know you can make them on your computer in about
two minutes, but I like to spend hours on mine.
And so we posted it yesterday on eBay.
All of the proceeds are going to go to live action and other pro-life organizations like
Abby Johnson, where it's a split whatever we have.
It was up to $2,200 yesterday and eBay pulled it.
You've got to be kidding me.
Wait, wait, wait.
We thought, because we went over the rules and I'm like, I don't think we violated any of their rules.
What do we do?
So we called and they said, well, you're a new poster and we couldn't verify who you were.
And so we pulled it because you ready for this?
We thought the price was too low.
And I'm like, do you want to bid on it?
Dude, you want to bid on it?
They were like, we thought this was fake because the price was too low.
Wow.
Because we started it at a dollar.
Okay.
But I mean, I don't know if there's a big huge fan, a big huge, you know, there's no, there's no line forming for Hitler paintings.
Right.
Right.
You know?
Yeah.
So it's supposed to be up in the next 20 minutes to 24 hours.
20 minutes to 24 hours.
Yeah.
They've narrowed it down.
So is it back up yet?
It is up.
It is up.
Good.
So what do you search for when you go to eBay?
it's better to go to my Twitter account
but can you just try to search Glenbeck painting
Glenbeck original painting okay
so if you just go to my Twitter account
it has the the link there
or you can go to Glenbeck original
painting on eBay
on eBay but every single dime
the artist he's got a big heart
he's got a big heart
good man I know him yeah yeah
it's got a big big
heart. So every dime of this, and I heard it took him 10 hours to make that.
I mean, that's a lot of work. That's a lot of effort.
I was telling, I was telling Stu yesterday, my wife walked in while I was painting it.
She stood there for a while, and she just looked at me, and then she looked at the painting,
and she said, what do you want to do this weekend?
I think that says something. I'm not going to comment on what you're doing here.
I don't know what it says, but it says something.
The Best of the Glenn Beck program.

If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
All right, here he is.
The disco queen himself, Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
Siri, I don't want anything.
Sorry, my Siri is going.
Go ahead.
I am right in the middle of the Midtown Tunnel,
going under the river on my wall.
way to give a lightning speech to the radio talk industry.
Okay, so, Bill, you're going into a tunnel.
Are you in the tunnel yet?
I am halfway through the tunnel.
And you're still have cell service.
God bless America.
Yeah, in New York, they do that in case there are multiple murders in the tunnel.
Hey, by the way, let me ask you this.
My family just went up, my kids just went up to New York.
They were up there.
I'm coming up in a couple of weeks,
my daughter is performing at Carnegie Hall.
But I'm going up
in a couple of weeks, and my
family was up there just two weeks ago,
and they said,
woof, things have gotten bad.
Yes. Bill de Blasio
is one of the worst mayors ever.
No, this is good.
Three murders in the tunnel. We can't hear you now.
You're breaking up for some reason.
Go ahead. Try it again.
Don't worry.
Just national.
radio bill.
You have me?
You have me now?
I have you now.
Yes, I do.
All right.
DuBlazio is a terrible mayor.
And just like in L.A., San Francisco,
Seattle,
the zombies are running wild
and the quality of life
is deteriorating.
How is it
that people don't see?
You know, Californians are
never going to wake up.
How is it they don't see this?
How is it they keep voting for these clowns
when people are crapping on your stairs?
Because they don't vote here in New York,
27% voted in the last mayor election.
And it's a one-party state like California is.
Republican Party's been wiped out.
And people have given up.
So they just wall themselves off.
And it's horrible.
It's what is the future.
And in L.A.
get set for a bubonic plague
because that's what's coming next
with all the rats running around
where do you see what happens there?
You know, they actually
who was it?
I've got it here in front of me someplace.
One of the Democrats
was saying that, no, no, no, it's really
actually good in L.A.
The city is doing a great job
with homelessness.
Are they? Really?
No, that's a lie.
But, you know, this week in San Francisco
the board of supervisors, which could be the board of supervisors in Havana, that's how far left they are,
voted 10 to 1 to begin forcibly taking some homeless people out and confining them.
10 to 1.
Now, the ACLU, of course, will sue, but that's how desperate people in San Francisco are right now.
You know, I just saw that in San Antonio, we have a bunch of homeless people now from the Congo.
And San Antonio is desperate for volunteers that speak French.
And I was wondering, you know, you're in the Congo.
How much was that air flight from the Congo to Mexico?
Who paid for it?
How only speaking French did you get across the border?
Who paid for that, and now you're on the streets of San Antonio?
Yeah, but there's another problem that some of the Congolese in L.A.
Say, no, we'd rather go back to the Congo than stay in downtown L.A.,
so they've got to pay for their effort back.
I mean, that's how bad L.A. is.
Look, we don't have it.
We have an open border, all right, thanks to the Democratic Party, open border.
So the Congolese and every other African country is if they can get to Mexico.
go, they can come in here because nobody's going to stop them and they can apply for asylum
and nobody's going to monitor them. Great policy, right? And it's really what's happening in America
is, I'm just amazed of the deterioration of what I'm seeing. And your question is right.
Millions of people have voted to the Democratic Party. I guess they like all this. I guess they
think this is good. That's why the winning slogan in what, 1946 or 48,
was had enough yet.
That was the slogan
for the Republican Party.
In California and New York,
that is a good slogan because
it's visible.
Yeah.
You can see it.
All right?
And you still want more of this?
Well, you know, one thing
that is starting to be more and more visible
is the loss
of our rights
and the freedom of speech.
And I tell you, we lose
if these corporations, Facebook, Google, YouTube, all of these big corporations, including Amazon,
they're clamoring now for more regulation.
That is not the answer.
The answer is make them platforms, not publishers.
Let them, or publishers and not platforms.
Let them pay for all of the lawsuits that the government is currently protecting them from.
It's the only thing that will scare them and set things right.
And it is legal and the right definition for anybody who edits on their platforms.
So we have these guys taking away Stephen Crowder telling live action that as long as they don't talk about abortion, talk about negatively planned parenthood or show any ultrasound pictures, they can have access to.
their platforms, but they have to change their website to exclude those things. We are now getting
to a place to where our rights are going away because these are private corporations and those
rights are only really to those are for the government. The government can't do these things,
but private corporations can. Well, this is a complicated issue. The Prager University
situation was the worst. And Dennis Prager has sued and may win.
for the banishment that he experienced on social media.
And I hope he does win.
But the Crowder situation is a little bit different because they're an individual with a platform, Crowder.
And I do not know him.
I do.
I've never had any dealings with him.
The one time that my staff had a dealing with him, he was rude.
And I don't care about him.
So I said, but don't even worry about it.
Okay.
The principle's a little bigger than your personal like or dislike of Stephen Crowder.
No, I'm just giving you full disclosure.
Okay, good.
I think you want that for me.
I do, I do.
I do.
Don't yell at me.
That's all it is.
All right.
I don't care about the man.
I'm sorry you're stuck in traffic in New York.
I have no animus against Stephen Crowder.
I don't care about him.
However, in this case, he was putting a fellow.
American in danger.
Oh, that's hogwash.
That's absolute hogwash.
Do you know, do you know this person that he supposedly put in?
I don't know him.
No, no, no.
I'm not saying know him.
Do you know what he was posting?
I don't care about bad behavior pointing to other bad behavior.
Okay?
I don't care about it.
No, no, no.
It does.
So it does make a...
But you correct me, look, you know this story better than I do.
Yes.
You correct me if I'm wrong, okay?
You're wrong.
And you'll relish that.
All right.
All right.
So you got a guy, Prouder, he's got a constituency, and he's nailing this guy who works for a Vox as being a bad guy and he's gay and he's whatever he is, all right?
He calls himself a queen and a gay wonk.
Okay.
But go ahead.
And he's given out information about the guy.
So to me, if I'm running any corporation.
and I do run my own.
I basically say privately to Proud or anybody else doing that.
Look, you may be putting a guy in danger.
Let's just knock this off right now.
Bill, let me just say this.
Because you're not up to speed on this,
I humbly say you're wrong.
And here's why.
Tell me where I'm wrong.
He's done nothing more than what you used to do
and still do to people in the media.
that are wrong.
He is a comedian, so he did it a little more flamboyantly.
However, everything he said about this guy, this guy said about himself.
So Crowder was correcting the record on what this guy was saying.
He works for Vox, NBC Universal.
He has said things, this is an exact quote.
Get back to me when you're ready to play.
personally assassinate people, I find annoying on Twitter.
Then we'll talk.
He talks about you have to, he talks about you have to milkshake people.
You have to go out and push them back because conservatives do not have a place.
He was looking for this kind of stuff.
Stephen Crowder, according to YouTube, did not violate any of their guidelines.
quote, after an extensive review of his videos,
not one was in violation of their guidelines.
Not one.
So then why did they take action against Crowder and the sponsor?
You're going to love this.
You're going to love this, Bill.
Let me find it here real quick.
I'll find it for you.
Here it is.
Even if a creator's content, this is YouTube,
even if a creator's content does not violate our community guidelines,
We will take a look at the broader context and impact, and if their behavior is egregious and harms the broader community, we may take action.
In the case of Crowder's channel, a thorough review over the weekend found that individually the flagged videos did not violate our community guidelines.
However, in the subsequent days, we saw the widespread harm to the YouTube community, resulting from the ongoing guidelines.
pattern of egregious behavior.
We took a deeper look and made the decision to suspend monetization.
What was the harm? Do they define the harm?
No. Here's the harm. People on the other guy's side rose up, the gay community, and said,
how dare you not suspend him? He's clearly a bigot. That was the broader harm.
How much, how much of the gay stuff did Crowder do?
well what do you mean his the main thrust of every one of those videos was correcting this guy on how wrong he was but this guy
it wasn't a heavy emphasis that he was homosexual no that in a way yes and no this guy is very flamboyant
and and and calls himself the queen of new york and you know i am you know i am a a gay man and
And so that's his schick.
So anything that was done, Crowder took from him and was mocking his stick because that's
the way he presents himself.
And he has no problem.
His handle is gay wonk.
So he has no problem.
If somebody calls him gay or heterosexual, which happens all the time to Stephen, he's
been called all kinds of things, sticks and stones can break your bones.
but these are things that he actually presents himself as and says.
So in mocking and parroting somebody, yes, you take on those traits and you use the words that he himself use.
Okay. Do you know if Crowder gave out the man's private information?
Absolutely not. Absolutely not. He is against doxing as we all are.
But if I'm a judge hearing the testimony and looking at what you've just presented and seeing that Facebook has only a general complaint, which it can't really zero in on, then I rule in favor of Crowder.
Correct. And that's the thing. This is YouTube, not Facebook, but it's YouTube. And they said, I mean, Crowder is very careful. He knows those guidelines. He's met with YouTube. Tell me, I'm a comedian.
so tell me what the guidelines are.
He meets with him, he talks to them, and he knows.
Is YouTube backing away now?
Backing away from what?
From the sponsor limitation on Crowder?
Oh, no, no, no. It's a done deal.
So is Crowder going to take action of interference with his livelihood?
I don't know. I know he has a team of lawyers, and I hope he does, but why is it that,
I mean, every single person that enjoys free speech should be joining this effort.
I mean, every single person that enjoys free speech, we have to start defending these people who are being marginalized.
YouTube is building a digital ghetto.
And Bill, you and I will be next.
I mean, first they came.
Well, I agree with that because you've already seen it with the sponsor boycotts from Move On and all these others.
Exactly right.
Exactly right.
So in the spirit of not allowing people to be punished for their views, I'm with you 100%.
All right, good.
Hang on.
I'll give you your other point.
I've got to break.
I'm running so late.
Come back in one minute.
Keep that thought.
Keep that thought.
All right.
First, let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's Omaha Stakes.
Nothing better.
Dad doesn't want anything.
Dad doesn't really want anything.
He wants to spend time with his kids.
unless you're jerks.
And then just send him a box of steaks.
But I'm saying if you show up with a box of steaks and said, Dad, you're going to love this.
They have a special now, 74% off.
If you order right now, you are getting absolutely no vegetables, but four Omaha steak burgers.
In fact, they're going to throw in four more, so you'll have eight steak burgers.
You're going to have huge jumbo Frank's chicken fried steak.
all beef meatballs,
premium chicken breast,
four caramel apple tartlets for dessert,
a pack of their seasoning,
and you get those extra burgers as well.
So,
I mean,
it's a $270 value.
You're getting it now for $59.
It is a great special.
Only at Omaha Steaks.com,
that's Omaha Steaks.com.
Use the promo code Beck.
Just type Beck in the search bar,
and that's how you'll be able to find this special.
So type in Beck and,
at the search bar at omaha steaks.com.
We break for 10 seconds station ID.
Seeing that the average American has literally the attention span of a goldfish,
let's test it out on Bill O'Reilly.
Do you remember what your second point was?
Of course I do, Beck.
And you should be ashamed of yourself for imputing my info.
All right.
I just can't wait to be trapped on a ship with you.
Go ahead.
Carve out is this, and both you and I have experienced it.
Okay?
Yes.
You cannot, if you are a person who has access to the media, all right, and you speak to a number of people through the media.
It could be radio, television, social media.
You cannot threaten anyone.
I agree.
Home information, home addresses.
no that's numbers
I think we all agree
doxing is horrible
horrible
you can't do it
yes and so
if that happened
did not
the YouTube people
but that YouTube and Facebook
and all these they should have
a printed code of
behavior they do
and they said he didn't violate
any of it that's the problem
and that's fine I'm not
I'm not saying he did.
I'm just saying that's the carve out.
By the way, before we get back in with Bill O'Reilly,
we are running a special at Blaze TV
that we have never done anything like this.
We just, we need you to do a few things.
If you don't have any money,
I want you to make sure you sign up for everything that is free.

So make sure that you sign up at glenbeck.com.
Go to the blaze.com and sign up for their free email newsletter.
I'm sorry, but we are being the, just yesterday, the Blaze was tagged and we've been fighting them.
First, they said we were an unreliable news source, and we fought that for a few weeks.
And we won that.
And now they've said that we're nothing but clickbait generator.
And you can't fight that one.
That expires in principle on Saturday.
However, it is affecting our algorithm forever.
And you can't fight it, which means we're going to have a much smaller reach through Facebook.

All right, back to Mr.
Bill O'Reilly. Bill,
I want to talk to you a little bit about
abortion. I saw that President
Trump just ended the practice
once again
of the government
being using fetal
tissue to conduct
experiments. And so
he stopped it. And this guy
has, I don't think that
there is a president other than
Ronald Reagan that has
kept his promises on
the campaign trail as
much as Ronald as Donald
Trump. And I've always
been bothered by people say, he's another
Ronald Reagan. And I thought
about it this morning and I thought, well, in some
ways he's absolutely not Ronald Reagan.
He's not the great communicator in the
traditional sense. However, I think the promises that he has kept possibly are harder than the
promises that Ronald Reagan had to keep. Would you agree with that? I don't know. It's a hard
comparison to make because the society today is so much different American society than it was
in the 80s. Donald Trump, as you'll learn when you read the United States of Trump, the history book
I've written on him, will come out in September, has four pillars, all right, four philosophical
pillars that drives all of his policy. Two of them are economic, two of them are social.
But you're right in the sense that...
Wait, will you give us those pillars? Would you share those pillars?
Okay. The first one is the economy. The economy must benefit.
working America.
The second one is immigration,
that the country has to enforce immigration laws
and can't allow itself to be overrun by people.
We have no idea why they're here and what they're doing.
The third one is Muslim extremism.
You've got to eradicate it from the face of the earth.
And the fourth pillar is social in the sense that he believes
that traditional conservative Americans must be heard.
So that his position on abortion has what they say evolved.
One time he was pro-choice, now he's more pro-life.
But it's more about he knows who his base is, and he wants his base to be heard.
That's the fourth pillar.
Boy, I agree with all of those pillars.
Well, let me go. Can we go through? Can we go through?
You know, Bill, in many ways, I'm right where I was with Donald Trump on, you know, on the way he communicates.
In other ways, I am amazed by him and I'm happy to say I was wrong.
When it comes to the economy, let's talk about the economy a bit.
We have the one flirting with breaking seven, seven one to a,
dollar and that is that will change that will change the world many people say that that is going
to happen some people say that it is not going to happen this trade war however is
escalating to a kind of frightening place with china china to me is different than Canada
Europe, and Mexico.
I know that Donald Trump loves tariffs,
but they are beginning to hurt him and the economy.
Is he going to see this at any point?
Yeah, he'll see it because his advisors are telling him the same thing you just said.
But he believes that he's going to get part of what he wants from China by the end of this
month when they had the big summit.
Okay.
He thinks she's going to get a deal with the she.
He knows China's hurting economically.
She's got to make a deal.
So are we witnessing here the kind of thing that Reagan did with Gorbachev to where he was like,
no, I'll walk away from the table, knowing that Gorbachev needed that deal as much as the
United States did?
It was high, it's higher stakes now.
because Reagan had a much stronger hand to play because Russia really was falling apart and did.
China, their army and secret police are very in control.
Yes.
But that may not last much longer if their economy goes down the drain,
and that's what Trump is relying on.
He believes that the hurt that the United States is putting on them through the tariffs is going to ripple down and maybe destabilize the whole situation so that she is going to have to make some kind of deal.
What does it say to you that the Federal Reserve said they're going to bring rates down possibly to zero?
Well, they knew that the employment report wasn't going to be as robust.
So that's they knew that in advance.
So that's why they said what they said, and that's why the stock market came up this week.
But the American economy is pretty good, pretty robust.
Business is good everywhere.
The tariffs are short-term pain.
I think you had to do them in Mexico because that government simply wasn't cooperating.
Now magically, they've got three or four concessions already on a table.
So I think you'll see Trump will say, well, we're going to delay it a little bit.
Trump's going to win that.
Yes.
Kind of not, you know, you can't predict it with certainty, but I do believe they'll get a deal at the end of this month.
When it comes to the social issues and abortion, we have left the station of any kind of common sense.
And the, I mean, you want to talk about the power of the NRA.
The NRA does not have the hold over the conservatives that plan, parent,
has over the liberals. I mean, it is, it's amazing how if you step out a line at all.
Beck, it isn't planned parenthood. Who is it? The hold over the left is the media.
All right. So this is a very disturbing issue because the last time we talked about it, I said to all of your listeners, this is life death.
All right. This isn't about global warming. It's not about how we should treat Mexico. This is people dying. Today.
Now, okay, then you're going to get pushed back and say, okay, O'Reilly, it's not a person until whatever date you want to come up with. Well, okay, but I'm not smart enough to know that. All right? I can't say to somebody, you're not a person.
all right when there's DNA human DNA on conception and I don't want to die and have to be judged
and have to be judged by a statement that I make about human life and the amazing thing about this
hang on just a sec bill the amazing thing about this is it's moving in the opposite direction of the
left so you know when the founders were around they talked about abortion a lot and they said
it was at the moment of the quickening and the quickening is when you felt that first care
that's when you knew it was a baby and that's when you'd get nailed if you killed that baby.
Well, that's the way it was because they had no other technology.
Then it was, you know, as long as they're viable.
But that keeps going the opposite direction.
So they're not more of a baby today.
Yeah.
Most Americans agree with you and me that this is a procedure that should be rare.
Yes.
Every poll says that, but the media is so vehemently, so arrogantly,
driving this, the head of Disney, Robert Eiger, the most powerful man in the country,
is telling the state of Georgia, we're not going to do business with you if you pass a law.
We don't like it. Disney.
Good.
What the hell is that?
That's where this power is coming from.
to diminish the life or death discussion.
It's coming from Eiger and the corporations and the New York Times.
This wouldn't plant parent it doesn't have any power, okay?
The media drives this.
The Hollywood people drive it.
CNN and AT&T drive it.
Well, AT&T, wait, wait, wait, wait, AT&T, I know this example for certain.
AT&T drives it because they, this is Tides Foundation kind of philosophy.
They learned in the 80s, we have to have people in the boardroom.
So you have these radicals in the boardroom.
So it's a Planned Parenthood radical in the boardroom of AT&T and all these other companies
that they are positioned there for a reason.
So it's kind of, you know, chicken and the egg thing, I think.
Well, it's a very vicious fight and secular people who don't believe in God and don't believe in any kind of morality based upon life or evil or good.
They're going to basically say, hey, the woman can do what she wants.
It doesn't matter.
It's the woman's decision.
And if the woman wants to get pregnant eight times and abort eight fetuses, then four.
fine you know that philosophy is rising in america and it's unchallenged because these big media
companies will fit you out correct they will kill you if you oppose them and this is the danger
that i don't think americans fully understand trump can go up against them but individuals it's hard if you're a
Hollywood actor and you speak out on behalf of life, you don't work.
Yes.
All right?
So this power, the power to negate the life-death discussion is based in the hands of corporations,
and they're the ones driving it.
All right, Bill.
I'm going to let you set up your little cardboard box here and say, look at these great watches I have for Father's Day.
Hey, Beck, I know you're jealous of the eight-tilling books with 17 million copies in print.
I know you're envious.
Well, no, I'm not envious.
I'm always, no, I would love to have, I would love to have your book business.
I just, I always think about you saying to me, what are you doing with all these books?
And I'm like, this is where you can really make some change, Bill.
I don't know.
And then you go and do it.
And you do it better than me and it pisses me off.
Yes.
Okay, I'm envious. Go ahead.
Father's Day, The Killing Books, go to Bill O'Reilly.com, give Dad a premium membership. He'll love you.
And if you don't like Dad, he'll be reading. He can't talk.
And if you don't like Dad and he doesn't like Bill O'Reilly, that's double the reason to buy the book.
Then get concierge membership.
Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much.

And I look at the radio industry 30 years ago, and it was fun.
So different.
So different.
So different.
So different.
And fun.
And then, you know, all of our fun was ruined by law.
in the day
we could get away with calling people
and then say afterwards
hey do you mind if we play this on the air
oh sure blah blah blah blah
you can't do that now
you can't do that now
and some of these
may appear a little mean
they were just what their loved ones
hey we trusted the people who called that you
do their disposition do you know do we
Did we ever have anybody break up over this?
Any families destroyed?
I hope not.
I mean, this one comes from her husband, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes.
Pardon this, it sounds very old, but it is.
It's 30 years ago on Glenn and Pat.
Listen.
I want to burn my life.
Okay.
I want to, uh, my daughter is going to a prom and I want you to call from a sleazy motel about her book in the room.
Oh, okay.
What's your wife's name?
Barbara.
You're on pendant.
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
yes, is Terry or Dorian foot
there, please?
Who?
Terry or Dorian foot?
Terry or Dorian foot?
Terry foot.
Terry Burke is my daughter.
Uh,
your daughter.
Uh,
is she there?
She's in school.
What are they making?
She's in school.
Yes.
Who is this?
This is,
uh,
And I'm calling from the Yankee end.
I have reservations for them.
What is it, Friday night?
I understood they were a married couple.
Married or not.
I'm her mother, and they're going to a prom,
and they're not married.
It's just those two that's going into the motel room.
That's all I have.
I just have Terry and Dorian Foot.
No, sir.
It's not right.
Okay.
They are...
How old is Terran?
She just turned 18.
Okay.
It's probably, I don't want to, you know, just trust her.
It's probably, and from what I gather, they're supposed to have a party with some friends in the motel.
Yeah, well, a lot of people party at our hotel.
I mean, it's not real classy, but it's a, you know, it's known as a party place.
John Collin, I just wanted to make sure if they wanted the waterbed or what?
I don't believe this.
Okay, thank you for being honest with me.
Okay, I'm going to have to call my husband right now.
Does she want the water bed or the vibrating?
This is devastating, so I am not sure what's going on here,
but I have to talk to my daughter when she gets home from...
Well, she is 18, right?
Yes, she is.
Okay, so which do you, I mean, you know.
I'm not against, I am against what she's doing
because I'm running the limousine and all for them to go to the prom
and then to a party afterwards for what we were told she was going to a party afterwards.
Uh-huh.
Is this a rinky thing place?
Well, I kind of resent that, but...
She said it cost $160.
$160.
Uh, well, listen, can I, uh, uh,
Since we have a problem here, can I get your visa or MasterCard number?
I don't have that.
Can you run a check down to me?
Because, you know, I've held this room here, and I'm not going to lose it.
I would suggest that you just go ahead and run it to someone else.
Well, I can't do that.
Now, here, now, wait a minute here.
I've held this room for a couple of weeks.
Well, I mean, if you can just cover just a couple of hours of the room would be fine.
Well, I am not paying for this.
It's up to those two.
They're the ones that booked this.
No, no.
Now, wait a minute, ma'am.
I mean, I understand what you're going through here.
but I don't think I should go on the short end of the stick.
I'm out, you know, like $30 here.
If she wanted to think for...
I'll just tell my husband to give you a call
because we were not aware of any of this.
Okay?
She didn't ask for extra towels or anything for tomorrow and I
because she would have to bring her own towels.
So I don't know what she's up to.
You'd have to talk to her directly.
She's in school right now.
She's a senior, and as far as I'm giving my number
for all this information.
I tell you what, Barbara?
Barbara?
What?
Let me tell you something.
Your husband put us up to this.
Oh, my.
I'm going to kill him.
You're on the radio, Barbara.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh.
This sounds so dated.
She starts crying here, if I remember right, doesn't she?
Yeah.
Right.
She's kind of crying, laughing right now.
You know what's amazing is how, stop it.
Do you do know how tame that is now?
Oh.
You could do that now.
and an 18 year old, she's 18, and you would have somebody like that on the phone and be like,
well, no, she's 18.
Yeah, all right.
I can give you, yeah, I'll just have her pay me back.
Here's my.
Right.
Yes.
I mean, now in today's society, that was 30 years ago.
That was insanity.
That was insanity.
And you can tell in her voice, she was horrified at the prospect that her daughter had booked a motel room for the night.
Now it's her 10th birthday party.
No, I've already put it on the credit card.
I called you to block that room.
