And he immediately, as he's walking towards them, he just kind of drops all the mail on the ground behind him. Like, what? I don't have anything to do with that mail. And they stopped him. and he was taking everybody's checks, their credit cards, all of that stuff, just pulling it out of the mailboxes.

Did I say, hello America? It's Friday. Joe Biden. Apparently, has finally addressed the Tara Reid issue after what, 35 days without anyone asking him to explain himself? 35 days. In fact, when yesterday, when the press was talking about this, they went after Donald Trump somehow. They made it about Donald Trump. So he's finally come under enough pressure because the Uber left.

And I will say this about the Uber. Uber left, they actually believe in something. I mean, Elon Omar believes in something. You know, it's a destruction of America, but she does fully believe it. And she's willing to do it. Where most of the Democratic Party is, and I'm talking about the leadership, they just don't care. I mean, they're just in it for the money or the power or to win.

They're not actually die hard and they'll do anything to win. And so the Uber left has started to come out and say, uh, excuse me. And they're turning on the press first. And that's why you're seeing now the press and the Washington Post did an editorial yesterday. And then, uh, uh, the New York Times did an editorial like they've been covering this and demanding answers. Nobody's asked him. But now they're like, this is getting ridiculous.

He's got to answer for this. Uh, and so he did. And here's what he said on MSNBC just a few minutes ago. And please, to our viewers, please excuse the graphic nature of this, but I want to make sure that there is no question as to what we're talking about. She says in 1993, Mr. Vice President, that you pinned her against the wall and reached under her clothing and penetrated her with your fingers. Would you please go on the record with the American people?

Did you sexually assault Tara Reid? No, it is not true. I'm saying unequivocally. It never, never happened. And it didn't. It never happened. I, you know, I really expected him to say, ah, yeah, dang it. I was hoping you wouldn't ask me that question.

You got me. You got me. Yeah, I did. Yeah, I did penetrate her with my, yeah, I did. Dang it. Why did you have to ask? I've been doing so well for 35 days. Yes. Ah, why did you ask me that?

You forced me into it. I wish I didn't have to say it, but I do. Yes. Yes, I did. What was he going to say? I strangely feel, but I strangely feel better now. I do. I feel better.

Now that I've got it off my chest, you know what? I brought in, in fact, I brought in a notebook. I've got this little black notebook of all the people that I've penetrated with my fingers. And I just, I just like to. it's strangely, it starts with Alan Specter. Arlen Specter is, Arlen Specter is in this. I don't remember it. In fact, Jill, Jill, can you come on in here?

I got some things to admit to you. Come on in. Let me tell you about this stuff. I would not put any of this past Joe Biden, by the way. This can actually happen. Oh, at this point. And everybody, everybody, would be looking at the, you know, in his rec room looking at him like, what are you doing?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, I'm supposed to do the other way. Oh, okay. He'd have absolutely no idea. I mean, I'm not surprised by the response, but I am surprised that he seemed to know who he was talking to, what he was talking about, you know, his name, the fact that he even was a senator. Do we have more of this?

I know this just broke. And so we are trying to get, I just, but just give me the raw audio. Martin, if you're in the control room, if you can just give me the raw audio, I'd just like to play the whole thing. Because apparently Mika did hold his feet to the fire a little bit. And, you know, she was very, very somber. And I just want to. And you'll notice there wasn't a man on the screen. well except for Joe Biden

but there wasn't a man on the screen you know they this was this is a big moment for Mika it's a big moment and and I think she is uh I think she is she do you think she's one of these people

on the left that actually believes in stump something um no but I think she is um not we should ask her that question question because I'm sure she'd come out and go, yeah. No, I actually don't. I was hoping he

asked me that question. But I strangely feel better now. Yeah, I mean, does she stand for something? Remember her behavior during the 2016 election? She was Donald Trump's best friend when she didn't think he was going to win. She was all over him. And then when all of a sudden he started winning, like, oh, I'm very mad and I'm going to stop going to Mara Lago every weekend. So no, she stands for nothing. But I wouldn't say that is right. She is, she is one of those people where I could see her realizing that this is not going well and not trying to sink or trying to put him on, put his feet to the fire here because, I mean, look, if you're a Democrat,

this is all going to happen. Like, whether you let it happen now or you let it happen in October on a debate stage, he, Joe Biden's going to be pressed on all of this stuff. So you might as well test him now and see if. he can get through this because if you if you push him now and he falls apart and crumbles, there's a chance you can replace him, you can go another direction. You let this sit and let him take the nomination. You're going to have to deal with it in October. It's going to be a disaster.

Which is probably why they're finally dealing with it. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yesterday I was, I was asked to speak online to the Clear Channel or I heart radio programmers from radio stations all across the country. And the last question I was asked was kind of just a, you know, fun question, I think, which was any predictions on what's coming? And I said, yeah, I don't think Joe Biden's going to be the guy.

I don't think he's going to be the guy that they're actually running against Donald Trump. And I know that sounds crazy, but I'm telling you, he was a placeholder. He was like the unnamed Democrat that everyone was for because they didn't like anybody else. And they're like, yeah, now they're coming up to it. A guy who is totally in bed with China, totally in bed. Anything you thought about him with Ukraine, oh, it's a thousand times worse with China. I mean, nobody's talking about it now. But if he's the candidate, all of this stuff is going to be everywhere.

I mean, remember, he's the guy who said, look, you know, their one child policy in China. I mean, you know, it's not American, but I understand it and I think it works for them. I mean, he is just, he is in the pocket of China. And now this, everybody's going to get to the convention and go, come on, guys, we're not serious, right? I mean, listen to him. He's, if he had, if he wasn't going senile, And I don't say that with glee, and I don't, because we're all going to be there. And I don't, I don't, I don't find any joy in saying that somebody who is even a guy I completely disagree with all the time, a guy who has served his whole life and, and had a decent image, if you will, for a politician, is now, let me just put it this way.

I've told my children as I've watched them. and I've said this seriously. If your father ever starts to sound and look like that, you must come and tell me, Dad, it's time. It's time to go. I feel bad for Joe Biden on that. But if you are looking to pick a president of the United States,

are you kidding me? You have to believe the Democrats are going to come to the convention and go, come on, guys. Do you remember what? We can't have him. You remember what they were saying about Ronald Reagan in 1984? during the election. You can't reelect this guy. He's senile. And he wasn't even showing any signs yet. I mean, it was only, no, he was a, he, in 1984, it wasn't until what, 1991 or something. It was late.

Yeah, it was 90, 91ish in there somewhere where he really, where they finally announced it. Where they finally announced it. And he still had good years ahead of him. Yeah. You know, he wasn't sounding like, like Joe Biden is now. And I'm not saying that Joe Biden has Alzheimer's, I just think he's going into, you know, his very, uh, difficult twilight years where he's not processing. Right. This guy cannot be president of the United States. And I think even the Democrats will understand that by the time we get to August, which brings me to this.

I know Michelle Obama says she doesn't want to run for president. She doesn't want to be president. but if someone offered the obamas a chance to go back to the white house and you don't have to even run michel you'll win if it's it's september you just have to remain standing until november and it's yours and your husband's already done it i i just who in who that actually believes something and is already in politics. Who doesn't say,

I'll seriously consider that. I don't have to actually do the campaigning. I just have to walk in and the office is pretty much mine. Pretty tempting. It's very tempting. Terrifying scenario, too. Terrifying scenario. She would absolutely win.

I think she would. You know, she would come in as the favorite. I mean, her polling would look really nice at the beginning of it. She's got like 80% approval right now. Right. If you are, you got to deal with Donald Trump, given pressuring you for a month and a half. It would be tough.

It's a black woman. He'd look like a bully. They would, I mean, they would just smear him. And, you know, that may not stick to him. Yeah, what else can they do? But it would be, it would not be an easy thing. And she probably would not go out and do very much, you know. Yeah.

And no one would... No one would push her on anything. I mean, like, at least Hillary, you know, like they, she was a bad, really bad, unlikable candidate and she was at least pressed occasionally by the media. She could have, me, Obama would have a, you know, if you think Joe, if you think Joe Biden is untouchable with the press, I mean, Michelle Obama could have inserted her entire body into Tara Reid and they would never ask. That is the worst.

Visual or never contemplated. Thank you. Yes, I did insert myself. Shoes and all, handbag, too. I had a big handbag. Anyway, let me talk to you about Relief Factor, our sponsor this half hour. If you are in pain, get out of pain. Now, I know you've been listening to me and you haven't done it.

Just like I've listened to a bunch of people around me for five years while I was in crippling pain and people around me were like, Glenn, have you tried relief factor? No, no, no, no. Because I didn't think it would work. I get it. And until my wife forced me to do it, until my wife was like, I'm not going to listen to you anymore. I'm not going to, you've got it.

Why won't you try this? Just try it. It won't work. It did for me. And I am a different man. And my friends will testify to it. I mean, not, you know, not not in a nicer sort of way. But I am out of pain.

now relieffactor.com. I don't have an excuse to be a jerk. Relieffactor.com call 8500, 583-84, 800, 5384. Relieffactor.com. Do it now. It's Friday. We take 10 seconds to break and right back to the show. Welcome back to the program. Let's go to some more Joe Biden on MSNBC. Here he is. The first is about your University of Delaware Records. Do you agree with the reporting that those records were supposed to be revealed to the public, and then they were resealed for a longer period of time, until after you leave, quote, public life? And if you agree with that, if that's what happened, why did that happen? Look, the fact is that there's a lot of things of speeches I've made, positions I've taken,

interviews that I did overseas with people, all of those things relating to my job. And the idea that they would all be made public in the fact while I was running for a public office, they could be really taken out of context. Their papers are position papers. They are documents that existed. And that when I, for example, when I met with Putin or when I met with whomever. And all of that could be fodder in a campaign at this time. I don't know of anybody who's done anything like that.

And so the National Archives is always a place. There would be anything having to do with personal. There are no personnel records in the Biden papers at the university. What is he trying to hide? Are you certain there was nothing about Tara Reid in those records? And if so, why not approve a search of her name in those records? Approve a search of her name. Yes, and reveal anything that might be related to Tara Reid in the University of Delaware records.

There is nothing. They wouldn't, they're not there. They're not there. And if they, you know, I don't understand what the point you're trying to make. The point of that. There are no records by definition. The point I'm trying to make is that you are approving and actually calling for a search of the National Archives records of anything pertaining to Tara Reid. I'm asking why not do the same in the University of Delaware records, which have raised questions because they were supposed to be revealed to.

the public and then they were sealed for a longer period of time. Why not do it for both sets of records? Because the material in the University of Delaware has no personnel files and it has, but it does have a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the president about a particular issue that I had with the heads of state of other places, that that would not be something that would be revealed while I was in public office or while I was Not at all. That's some journalisming there.

That's a legit. She held his feet to the fire. Scattered showers. Yeah. Scattered showers of journalism popping up. Yeah, I will tell you this. You know, you, I could give him an excuse, but it doesn't help him. I don't think he understood.

What do you mean search for her name? What do you mean search? Do a search for her name. I mean, I don't think he understands databases. I don't think he's like, what are you talking about? I just, if I want to find something out, I just wind that little box on the wall and say, Ethel, give me Mercury 5,000. Yeah, I think because that, and then she connects me to the neighbor.

It seems like a completely legitimate request to say, to search these records of, of, what he said, public speeches. I don't know why you wouldn't have, you know, why you'd care anyone if anyone saw that. But I mean, there's private conversations with Ted. of state, I can understand why that wouldn't come out. He's afraid of something. There's something in there. The name? The name of some random staffer?

You wouldn't, you wouldn't, that doesn't make any sense. Wow. You could easily do a, you could say, look, I want a, the New York Times or somebody that the left trusts to go in and just do a thorough search for anything related to her. Totally fair. Any personnel records. And that's it. I only approve that.

And that would sound more credible than what he's doing now. This is, that doesn't make any sense. I can't imagine they'd actually be in there anyway. I mean, they're his records. Like, the last thing you're going to do is put it in, like, By the way, I was also inserting fingers into this one bit. You don't put that in your own records. That's what I want to be remembered for.

All right. My Pillow, you want a great night's sleep. You need a MyPillow. pillow is a great, great pillow and they have a buy one, get one free offer.

But before we get to that, I don't know if you saw the story or we'll see the story from the New York Times, that the New York Times is angry with Google and Facebook for not censoring people like us even more. And referring people to people like them.

Our MSNBC, one of the two. Or, yeah, I'm sorry, MSNBC. Sorry. Vice President, as it pertained to Dr. Ford, everyone wanted on high level Democrats said she should be believed that they believed it happened

you said if someone like Dr. Ford were to come out the essence of what she is saying has to be believed has to be real why? I know what I said it has to be real for Dr. Ford but not for Tara Reid they're because the facts

look she I'm not suggesting she had no right to come forward and I never and I'm not saying any woman, they should come forward. They should be heard. And then it should be investigated. It should be investigated. And if there's anything that is consistent with what's being said and she makes the case or the case is made, then it should be believed.

But ultimately the truth matters. The truth matters. It's period. I fought my entire life to change, to change the whole notion of the law and cultural sexual around the culture around sexual assault. and I fought the strength and protect the process for survivors. I believe it would have come a long way, and we have a long way to go in this system before we, in fact, are in a position that there's a fair and unbiased view.

But at the end of the day, it has to be looked at. These claims are not true. There's no co-op-I, I mean, they're not true. I mean, there's no corroborate. Oh, I mean, there is. There is corroboration. There's a lot of corroboration. There's much more than there was for Kavanaugh.

Look, we're doing a special on Blaze, and we've invited Tara Reid. We haven't gotten a rejection. They're still under consideration for us, but we've invited Tara Reid to come on the broadcast next Wednesday, Wednesday night on Blaze TV. I'm doing, if she's on, I'll do a two-hour special, and I will give her, you know, a platform. I will ask tough questions because there are some inconsistencies in the story. I think I believe her, but there are some things that she would need to answer.

And I don't think they're hard, but she would need to answer. There are some things that are inconsistent. And you should be aware of those things. I think, however, there's not enough to convict the man by any stretch of the imagination. which is why we should not be doing these kinds of things. However, there is enough to go,

hmm, there might be something there. I mean, really compelling is the Larry King interview with her mom. That's really compelling. Yeah. Now, again, that interview, to be fair to Joe here, as I'm sure he would be to us, is she, there is never an accusation that she was assaulted in that in the video, right? Like the, the, she just says the,

that something went wrong. And we all already know she was an accuser of the hair sniffing type of activities that so many other women were around the country. Right. So, you know, we don't know exactly what it is. And I do think that it's... But we know two other people at the same time period.

Yeah. That said, I spoke to her. She was very emotional about it. And she described at that time. And what's credible to me is Blazy Ford was you couldn't trust it because she was against any Senate or any, anybody coming into the Supreme Court that was conservative. And she had already set things up to stop any candidate. She was political activist.

Well, Tara Reid and her friends are political activists on the other side. Therefore, Joe Biden. Yeah. Some of them are. Yeah. She was a Bernie supporter, so at least left friendly. I think, too, you know, you could look at this and say, the Blasey Ford thing, I mean, like, she couldn't even remember the location where it occurred. There's no evidence that they even ever met.

Right. Like, this is, she did work for Joe Biden, or Tara Reid. People do remember, remember, it's not just the people who have come forward and said, hey, I do remember this assault. Other people in the office remember her just disappearing without an explanation. There was an intern that said that I remember her disappearing and that it was very weird. Yeah. That she just was gone. Right.

And nobody talked about it. Look, I don't know. And I don't, I think you can look at this and say, you're right, Glenn, there's not enough evidence to convict. And I think there's plenty of reason to have doubt over these things. That being said, you can have that opinion if you're Joe Biden. if you publicly denounce your previous comments about Brett Kavanaugh, and you say that standard that I advocated for multiple years was wildly wrong. And now that I'm on the other side of it,

I realized I screwed Brett Kavanaugh really badly with my comments. Like, that's what you need to do in this situation. Can you imagine, though? Can you imagine if he said that, though? The, his supporters would crucify him. Absolutely. Go crazy. crazy. He couldn't say it, which is that is how ridiculous this is. You know, the standard they outlined for Brett Kavanaugh and have for many other people,

particularly on the right, is so ridiculous. Ask anyone, any single person on earth could have this terror read thing happen to them. Let's just say terror reads completely lying for just a second because she didn't like how she got fired, you know, because she thought she should have stayed and she really loves Bernie Sanders. she's completely lying. What does she had to do to turn his entire life upside down? Find three people that would go along with a story?

The main thing that she has is obviously at some point she also told her mom this story, and that's a pretty big moment here. But you don't need that call. That call is not what puts this over the edge. Just a couple of witnesses saying he told him at the time is all you need to overturn someone's life. That standard is a major problem. It is not okay. It's got no connection to innocent until proven guilty. It's totally against our justice system.

And that's the bigger problem here. And I want the left. No, I want Democrats. Average Democrats that are living in this country. I want you to know we are not condemning Joe Biden. We are holding exactly the same standard as we did with Kavanaugh. you're going to somehow or another you're going to have to figure out which one you believe but there's not enough here to convict in fact i mean when i say same standard it was it was

it was it was beyond understanding how that cavanaugh thing happened because there's there was nothing nothing there um but uh when it comes to joe biden there is something there but how are you ever going to find the truth. How do you know? We don't have anything from that time period. We've got nothing. Now, it's perfectly reasonable to say, you know what? We want to check into all records. You know, when they wanted everything.

They got down to Brett Kavanaugh's boyhood calendar. And we can't go and look at Joe Biden's sealed documents. that's absolutely not right. It's just not right. I'm sorry, I don't accept that, at least from a guy who has been preaching this. But Democrats, you need to understand. For some of us, not all of us,

but for some of us, we actually believe it. Alyssa Milano, she doesn't believe it. Rose McGowan, as crazy as she is, she does believe it. We believe it. We're on the opposite side. We want to believe people who have been assaulted, but you have to have evidence. And we urge you to go and go to the police. And I know it's really hard.

But if something is happening, you've got to blow the whistle and document it at the time. You can't go back 30 years into a calendar and try to smear somebody or convict somebody who really actually did this. It's impossible. and all we're doing is destroying people. And our entire justice system recognizes that sometimes bad guys get away with it because we never want to do this and convict an innocent person.

Even though that happens, we want to do everything we can so it doesn't happen. Well, Me Too has flipped this entirely on its head and there is no innocence, especially if you are not in favor with the ruling class or the media or social media.

Really good things that have come out, at least for my family. You know, we invested long ago in these pharmaceutical companies, and they're just making a killing.

I don't money into Gilead. It's working out great. I just, yeah, I mean, we were, you know, I invested in a little laboratory in Wuhan and some pharmaceutical companies.

I can't wait to talk to Bill about freedom of speech, about the press, and these Whitmer, Robert Redford coming out today and going, you know, there's some good things that are happening to the environment. and we need to find ways to keep this going. Excuse me, what? All coming up, Bill O'Reilly next. Entertainment and enlightenment. Hello, America.

It's Friday. And the Glenn Beck program, Friday means at this time, Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Oh, I cannot wait to talk to him and share the audio with him and you of Joe Biden, just about an hour ago on MSNBC, being grilled. actually being held to account by Mika, of all people, and having to answer to the charges from Tara Reid. I don't think it went well. But how in a country where truth doesn't matter anymore,

do you judge somebody on a he said, she said, from 30 years ago? we go there in one minute. This is the Glimbeck program. I want to talk to you about SimplySafe. Simply safe, I don't remember how many employees they had. I mean, it was a very small company when they started advertising with us. And I took them on as advertisers because I met with the designer, the brilliant minds behind it.

I mean, they're now this giant company that has totally changed the way home security is done and viewed. You start with state-of-the-art equipment, cameras, sensors that are totally different. They're almost invisible. It's wireless.

It's just, again, it's state-of-the-art equipment. of the art. Some of these things, like their camera, has taken because they care about privacy, they want to put a lens cover over it, but, you know, oh, hang on, there's trouble. Let me take the lens cap off. So it has to be automatic, but they wanted you to know when that lens cover came off. They wanted you to have an audible signal that it's starting. The camera is on and camera is off. And they spent, I don't even know, a year, a year. development and I don't know how much money just trying to get that lens camera that lens cap to come down have the right sound and to be reliable over and over and over again these people are serious

they have made it inexpensive there's no contracts if you want the monitoring again no contracts it's 50 cents a month this is why they're the best in the business this is why I'm so proud that we were one of the first voices to tell the world about SimplySafe.

Simplysafebeck.com. Mr. Bill O'Reilly, who has got a cute little podcast. I remember when podcasts were like, oh, and he's got a podcast. podcast. Now podcasters are disrupting everything, and Bill is part of that. Welcome to the program, Mr. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. Thank you, Beck. Thanks for having me back. You bet. You bet. I want to start with a couple of clips, in case you haven't heard of me yet, I'm sure you have, but let me play them for the audience. A couple of clips from Joe Biden about an hour ago on MSNBC addressing Tara Reid. Listen.

And please, to our viewers, please excuse the graphic nature of this, but I want to make sure that there is no question as to what we're talking about. She says in 1993, Mr. Vice President, that you pender against the wall and reached under her clothing and penetrated her with your fingers. Would you please go on the record with the American people? Did you sexually assault Tara Reid? No, it is not true. I'm saying unequivocally. It never, never happened.

And it didn't. It never happened. Okay. So he unequivocally denies it. But then he's pressed with some questions. And maybe it's his growing, you know, senility. But he didn't handle it well. I want you to hear here's cut two.

The first is about your University of Delaware. records, do you agree with the reporting that those records were supposed to be revealed to the public and then they were resealed for a longer period of time until after you leave, quote, public life? And if you agree with that, if that's what happened, why did that happen? Because, look, the fact is that there's a lot of things that of speeches I've made, positions I've taken interviews that that I did overseas with people, all of those things relating to my job. And the idea that they would all be made public in the fact while I was running for a public office, they could be really taken out of context. Their papers are position papers. They are documents

that existed and that when I, for example, when I met with Putin or when I met with whomever. And all of that to be fodder in a campaign at this time, I don't know of anybody who's done anything like that. And so the National Archives is the only place there would be anything having to do with personnel records. There are no personnel records in the Biden papers at the university. So personnel records aside, are you certain there was nothing about Tara Reid in those records? And if so, why not approve a search of her name in those records? Approve a search of her name. Yes, and reveal anything that might be related to Tara Reid in the University of Delaware records. There is nothing. They wouldn't,

They're not there. And if they, you know, I don't understand what the point you're trying to make. Holy cow. Let's just stop there and let's talk to Bill O'Reilly about this. Bill, what are your initial thoughts? So let's just do the fact-based thing. Biden doesn't know what the cert stands and what that was. I agree.

Which is not, hang on just a second, which is not helpful, which is not helpful for, I mean, he said, you know, George Bush just saw a scanner at a supermarket, which was not true, but that was used against him. This is somebody not understanding that you can search records for a name. I mean, that's incredible. That woman's name would be in his archives are 1,000-1. Yeah. That would for any document.

So I'm not putting any credence into that. The reason he doesn't want the Delaware records made public. is because today is the anniversary of bin Laden's takedown. He was the only member of the Obama cabinet to that Navy SEAL raid. That's why he doesn't want that open. A lot of people have forgotten about that. Wow. All right, and you did too, didn't you?

Yeah, I did. All right, that's why you had me on here back. That's why he doesn't want that. all right it's the kickbacks that the overall denial all right I have no idea

but I can tell you that in the past Vice President Biden has convicted many denying all of them due process so this is karma that's what

so Bill I would imagine that you are taking the same stance that I'm taking which is the standard that anyone is being judged on is so absolutely insane and really un-American. You just can't try these things and convict people in the court of public opinion. I mean, you're just destroying lives. I can't. It's been going on.

It's been going on almost years. I know that. I know that. But I think it's important. I think it's important to point out to the left and to not to the left, because they don't care, to the average Democrat. We're against it when it's Joe Biden. We're against it when it's Joe Biden. It's not right to try people like this.

If you have facts, then bring the facts forward. But we can't just judge people on he said, she said. Look, here is Nancy Pelosi who had to gall. say yesterday that there was no record of a filing against Joe Biden, that the story changed, that all of what she has heard doesn't stack up. The same thing was in play with Blasie Ford and Kavanaugh, and Pelosi convicted Kavanaugh. Exactly the same thing. No, no, I disagree with you.

I disagree with you. There was much, much less with Kavanaugh. Much less. Let me get a specific about Pelosi. Pelosi said there was no initial filing of complaint. Okay. There's no record of it. There was no record of any filing of a complaint with Kavanaugh.

All right. The woman's Tara Reid story has changed. So did Blasey Ford's story. story. Yet in Tara Reid's case, she dismisses, Pelosi dismisses Reed, Blasey Ford, for exactly

the same presentation. Exactly. I can't tell you, I said I'm on bill o'Reilly.com, it used to be I thought Nancy Pelosi was misguided. Now I believe she's evil.

She is an evil person. in a position of tremendous responsibility in this country. Wow. Okay. We haven't even gotten to the third clip yet, which I think is the worst one for Joe Biden. We'll play that coming up in just a second. And I want to talk to you about why the press is moving the way they are right now.

Something has changed. And people, they are being exposed to the people that, it's their base. now that's turning against them. And we'll get to that here in just a second. First, let me break for a minute and tell you about our sponsor. It's Hustler, lawnmowers, Hustler, Turf. Now, I'm going to give you a fun little fact that I've learned here. When you have a riding lawnmower that is as great as Hustler is,

you don't actually have to turn the blades on if you don't want to. You just, you just zip around, you know, your backyard, like some hillbilly. And I've done it. And, you know, I am proud to be the white trash in my neighborhood. I don't really care. Tick kids for a ride on it. It's not like my grandfather's riding lawnmower.

This thing is unbelievable. And it also cuts the grass. It is easy to maneuver. You're going to cut your lawn mowing time in about half because it's zero turn. Created here in America. built here in America and it will be the last lawnmower that you ever buy. There's no questions asked. This thing was built for commercial use and now they're making them for home use.

And it just, it's engineered to last and run forever. And it will be the last lawnmower you ever buy. HustlerTurf.com. Go there now, click on the radio button. Be a hillbilly like me. Yeah, take it out for a spin. Yeah, it's great. I'm telling you, if an ice cream.

store was open, I would have taken my kids on the lawnmower to the ice cream store. Anyway, hustlerturf.com, click on the radio button and enter the promo code, Beck, hustlerturf.com. All right, it's Friday back with Bill O'Reilly in 10 seconds. I'm not hearing you. All right, I didn't realize this deadline was coming so quickly, but I want you to know one thing. If you did not file a tax return last year and you have children under 17, You have to act right now to get the $500 economic impact payment per child. A lot of people could use this money right now.

If you are one of them, make sure you get it done by May 5th. That's next week. If you want your payment in 2020, you have to go to IRS.gov and enter your information in the non-filter tool by May 5th. Okay, go IRS.com. enter the information in the non-filer tool, non-filer tool by May 5th. Okay, do it now. If you didn't file a tax return last year and you have children under 17, you've got to do it by May 5th.

All right, Bill O'Reilly, let me play cut three here of Joe Biden and Mika. Vice President, as it pertained to Dr. Ford, everyone wanted, on high-level Democrats said she should be believed, that they believed it happened. You said, if someone like Dr. Ford were to come out, the essence of what she is saying has to be believed, has to be real. No. Why? No, what I said, it has to be.

Why is it real for Dr. Ford, but not for Tara Reid? They're because the facts are to, look, she, I'm not suggesting she had no right to come forward. And I never, and I'm not saying any woman, they should come forward. They should be heard. And then it should be investigated. It should be investigated. And if there's anything that makes it, that is consistent with what's being said and she makes the case or the case is made, then it should be believed. But ultimately the truth matters.

The truth matters. It's period. I fought my entire life to change, to change the whole notion of the law and cultural sexual around the culture around sexual assault. And I fought the strength and to protect the process for survivors. I believe it would have come a long way. and we have a long way to go in this system before we, in fact, are in a position that there's a fair and unbiased view. But at the end of the day, it has to be looked at. These claims are not true.

Okay. There's no. Bill, let me ask you this. How is Joe Biden coming off to you? How do you think the American people, and more importantly, the Democratic base, will view this? at the end of the day has a right to be heard about a very seriously saying

Tarade is a right to be heard it's a right to come forward and perjure herself about me and smear me and my family and try to destroy my presidential aspirations she has a right to do that that's what this idiot is saying if it's not true

she doesn't have a right to do it Beck it's a crime that she, if it's not true. Is it not? Yes. So what is Biden actually putting out there? It's a bunch of gobbly gook garbage. Now, I don't mind him denying anything because, as you said, and I've always said, he's entitled to due process.

He says he didn't do it. I don't mind that. I'm not offended by that. But then to turn around and say, But she has a right to lie about me and smear me. Does anybody believe that on the face of the earth? So you didn't answer. Joe Biden goes home and goes, you know, I really support that Tara Reid.

And what she's doing here, she should be heard. This is what I mean about people like Biden, all right? They don't care about anybody but themselves. They don't care about this country or Americans or the justice system or how we out of line and corrupt says has become, I didn't care about any of that. On the one hand, he wants you to believe he didn't do anything wrong,

never done anything wrong. But on the other hand, he's a champion of women. He wants you to believe both. I mean, I'm sitting here going, does anybody step back and listen to this stuff? Really listen to what this idiot is saying? Yeah, okay. Come on.

I want everybody in the country to them smear me. Come on and smear me. Lie about me. I respect that. I mean, if you really look at this whole, this is besmirching our country. It is destroying our civil justice system. People have no idea what's going on. And this guy could be president of the United States.

I mean, really, come on. All right. So, Bill, you didn't answer the question. The question was, how do you think the average Democrat is going to view what happened today and his performance? How does he, does this help him, hurt him? How do they view this? The Democrats, how do they view this? Average voter.

People have had enough of this stuff. So Biden catches a break. Society's almost numb now. It's every day. Some other person is accused of something. So the accusation four years ago was much more powerful than it is today. So the Democrats are going to say, I hate Trump. I don't care what Biden did.

I don't know what he did. I don't care what he did. I hate Trump. So I'm going to vote for Biden. That's the answer to your question. Any chance, Bill, that they try to pull him from this nomination and replace him if this goes badly? Only if there was a smoking gun. the woman says, hey, I filed a complaint, but nobody can find a complaint.

If they do find a complaint, then they have to pull by. Well, she's not saying that she filed a complaint. Yes, she did. Yeah, but wait, wait, wait, wait. But not of the full extent. Not the assault, right? Look, I don't know what the woman saying, you know, she's on Fox on over the weekend. so we'll sue it.

But at this point, to answer Stu's question, you would need some kind of smoking gun to remove Biden from the ticket. It's interesting. I wonder if he could just butcher these interviews badly enough that they would be so Yeah, I have to tell you. You know, whether he's innocent or not. It'll be the last one. And I'd like to hear Bill, we want to talk about the media.

Why did he, why did he pick Mika? Because it would be tough because I think she killed him, killed him. You're listening to Glenn. All right. I want to talk to you about real estate agents. I trust.com. Look, the world is changing. Mortgages are going to be harder and harder to find selling your house.

You can hear Bill O'Reilly is on fire today. I get this every day at Bill o'Reilly.com. You can subscribe there. More with Bill in just a moment. Hello and welcome to the program. It's Friday. We have Bill O'Reilly. There is so much.

There is so much that I would like to talk to Bill O'Reilly about, but we really want to concentrate on the lead story of the day. And that is Joe Biden is finally addressed the terror, the terror reed charges that he sexually assaulted her. We're not talking about fondling. We're talking about an assault. And it is, it's, it's, it's, um, quite a charge. He's finally been held accountable. and he's answering with Mika on MSNBC, but his answers, of course he denied it, but his answers, as Bill pointed out a minute ago, don't make sense. But we also have to look at what he is saying about why he just sealed records.

Bill says it's because of bin Laden in the anniversary, and he doesn't want that coming out. But Stu, re-explain. what he was actually saying he was trying to keep closed. Yeah, Bill, I'd love to get your take on this. Because re-examining that, the first time I heard it, I didn't notice, you know, because it was such a weird answer. I didn't really focus on what he was saying. But he says the reason, his excuse, it's, he doesn't give an excuse about,

about private conversations until much later. He's obviously talking about the Tara Reid thing. But his excuse for not releasing this records is because overseas he made speeches he took positions and gave interviews that would be misused in this campaign. All of those things should be very much in the public record and should be examined during a campaign. Those are not the, that's not a private conversation with Vladimir Putin. He specifically cites speeches, positions I've taken, and interviews. Isn't that a big piece of this news?

I don't know whether his notes are in there. I don't know whether the Clarence Thomas stuff is in there. remember he voted, I think that if you have from decades and you make them public, people can go in and cherry pick and make you look like an idiot. Yeah, well, we know nothing about being taken out of context. Donald Trump knows nothing about being taken out of context. I mean, please. I'm not, look, I'm not going to condemn Joe Biden to come out six months before a presidential election. I'm not going to do that, all right, because that's not going to help Joe Biden. Now, the pressure may grow, and so we'll have to do it. I don't believe Tara Reeds' name's

going to be in there, as I told you, but I understand that point of view. Far more troubling is Biden's absolute dishonesty about the whole issue that he's now caught up in. And it's karma because Biden one of the biggest due process deniers. Now, before the break, you ask an interesting question. Why did he go on MSNBC in the morning

to do the interview? Do you want me to address that? I do. Go. Okay. So, he has to pick, to some extent. He couldn't go on with Fox News because he couldn't control that interview at all. He could

have gone on with CNN and that probably would have been a better choice than Morning Joe. Because those two, they're playing to the media, not to the people. You have to understand what that show is. They get high ratings usually. They play to the Beltway. They don't play to the people who live in Arkansas. All right.

Nobody watches them outside of the metro. Which is why I think he played there because he can't. lose the activist. Right? Boy, what do you mean? What do you mean? How these things go are. You get a request for an interview.

Your people, not you, set up what they call guidelines. Right now, I never did that. I don't think you do it. No, I don't. The network and cable people do it. It comes on. We don't want you to go into this area.

Will you assure us that won't happen? time to get the interview, the people say, no, I won't go there. I'll give you an example. She did not, and I have the transcript here, I haven't gone over at all, but I didn't see it, refer to any of the previous complaints against Joe Biden. No. Not that I saw. No.

That's a fairly big omission, is it not? Yes. Okay. So the deal was, if he comes on, this is where you stay. you don't resurrect all the other stuff. See what I'm talking about? Now, I wasn't in the room for the deal, but I'm saying, wait a minute, in any interview, Biden's going to have to be not only questioned about Reed, but about all the other women.

Right. Because it's a Trump situation. There's a pattern. Correct. Well, I don't know whether the pattern is true or not. I don't know. No, I know that. But that's why you would ask that.

because it appears as a pattern. Look, do you believe that this allegation, Mr. Vice President, stemmed from the others? That's not a gotcha question. Right. Right. That's how you do it. Correct.

There was no mention of any of the others. Which makes total sense. Yeah. This makes total sense because he is. bad spot, you make the best deal you can make. And he's been trying to stand on the New York Times saying there was no pattern here, even though that's not what they said. His campaign has been trying to stand on that this week.

So let me ask you about the media itself. It is unbelievable. CNN is actually a part of this story because of Larry King. and the only reason why they addressed it at all is because they now had to. But they were against Tara Reid for Joe Biden. They haven't asked him a question. They had no reporters have asked him. The New York Times did a puff piece, I think on this,

did the absolute bare minimum on this up until this week. the Washington Post didn't really cover it. No reporter has asked. Yet this week, the editorial departments of both Washington Post and New York Times said, he's got to answer these questions. Even though their reporters are not asking, he's got to answer these questions. My theory here, Bill, is that their constituents, they're the people that, you know, read the New York Times and the Washington Post,

the people they care about are these activists. And when the activists started to turn, they knew we better at least be on record with demanding these answers. Even if we're not asking them, we need to play into this deserves an answer. Do you agree with that? Why did the press all of a sudden come to the table and say, oh yeah they're outraged now

first of all I want to amend one thing I don't know whether the morning show on MSNBC made a deal with no I know everyone to know yeah I know you may I think you may I was laying out the scenario circumstantial evidence is legitimate to point out okay yes I see this differently so when this broke the anti-Trump forces in the media,

85, 90% of that, didn't want to hurt Biden with this accusation and thought they might be able to cruise past it with barely a mention. That changed when the New York Times fool article that tried to help Biden

by pointing out the inconsistencies in Ms. Reed's allegations. then the New York Times made a second mistake, dishonest editor, intellectually dishonest editor, Bacquette, to be interviewed by Ben Smith, a guy from some Raleap website who the Times just hired. And Bacette's answer to why the Times didn't cover Biden like they covered Kavanaugh was a third-grade answer. It was a publisher and the board of directors were embarrassed by the... that article. Biquette will not be there much longer. They then said, you better write this.

You now see, oh, Joe has to explain himself. Now, the Washington Post is a little bit different. They tried to ignore it, but they couldn't. So they went to fall back. Well, you better explain yourself, Mr. Vice President, rather than to put their junior Woodward and Bernstein's on the case, which they haven't done. Correct. Correct. Okay. The press is, so corrupt, it's almost like Chicago during prohibition the American press is. I have to tell you, Bill, that is, your analysis there is why I'm a fan of yours and why I listen to you. That comes from, I don't know how many years you've been in the business, but a long time in the business. That is spot-on analysis that.

we have to take every woman who comes forward with an accusation seriously. But if you're the one accused and you know it didn't happen, then no, you don't have to take it seriously. You should be offended and viscerally obvious about it. Every woman should be heard and be able to file a complaint

and that should be investigated. But I'm telling you now, this woman is lying. You might respect her and the police must respect her, but I don't. And it's a lie. And I'll see her in court because she's smearing me. I mean, that's how you would react. All right.

I, you know, there's some people that are saying that this was caused by China, you know, in a lab or whatever. And I believe that this virus was man-created.

And I think they're behind it. I think Mr. Home Depot called Mr. Lowe's and they got on with Mr. local, you know, lawn and garden and said, look, we're going to create some sort of virus. I don't know what it is, but we are going to profit off this like crazy. This is obviously a ridiculous theory unless you also include Jeff Bezos in it. Then I totally believe it. Oh, my gosh. Right? I mean, Jeff Bezos and Google and Microsoft and Apple.

They're all in on it. All of them. They're all in on it. All of them with your local flower shop. I'm telling you, home and garden centers. and Google in bed together. By the way, I've, I had a horrible experience at Home Depot. Horrible experience.

And I don't like to share things like that. But I'm going to Home Depot next hour. You're listening to Glenn. You're on edge all day and you sleep horribly at night.

Thomas Massey. Sure, it's not quite as sexy when you say Thomas Massey, but he's with us. Representative Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky. There's a couple of things I want to talk to him about. One, he had the greatest tweet of all time yesterday. I think it was yesterday. If no one goes into Congress to vote on bills, who's writing the bills?

I love that question. But at first, I want to talk about the Prime Act. Thomas Massey has been on the food shortage thing early, early, early, and on the meat shortage. And there is an answer for this. And we should all be looking to this, not just for today, but also in the future. Welcome to the program, Thomas Massey. How are you? I'm doing great.

Thanks for having me on, Glenn. You bet. You sound good. You sound like you're either on a super confidential spy phone. or you've you've updated something in your home we've got a com rec system the last time i talked to you you asked if i was at chernoble because the line was so bad that's right you shamed me you shamed me into buying a real system all right good good i'm glad to have you okay so uh congressman talk to me about the primac first tell people what they should expect in their grocery stores soon

well you're going to see shortages and these aren't going to be temporary shortages. You're being assured in the news that the factories that process this meat will open right back up and there'll be no problems. But here's the real problem. They're aborting piglets right now. They're causing the sows to abort. And so the animals that would be going into the pipeline that would be showing up in your

supermarket in a couple months aren't being born. So it's not just a problem at the processor now. the farmers are responding rationally to their concerns that they'll have to euthanize more hogs. By the way, there are slaughter-ready hogs. They're being euthanized, shot, destroyed, buried. Same with cattle. If it's not happening on a mass scale, it probably will be happening on a mass scale to where they're just the chickens, cattle, they can't process them.

And so they have to kill them and bury them. And this is not good. That's right. It's already, it happened a few weeks ago with chickens. It's happening with hogs this week. We've got more leeway, a lot more leeway in the cattle market. By the way, I raise cattle. I have 60 head of cattle.

I took two of them to a processing facility yesterday. Rokey, sorry. Yeah. And so I took two to the processing facility yesterday. And where I saw something I've never seen before, there were dairy cattle being hauled to the processing facility for beef. Wow. And so because, you know, whenever they take cows out of the dairy production and turn them into beef, that also has a long-term effect.

But that's just farmers responding rationally to what they're seeing, which is prices, you know, when you saw the price of oil going negative, we're there with slaughter-ready hogs in certain, circumstances. There are these processing facilities that are canceling their contracts claiming act of God, you know, to the farmers. And so anyways, I saw this coming. I was on your show, like you said weeks ago, talking about this. When I saw the milk being poured out, I said, you know what, they're going to be pouring out animals too. And it's one thing. Yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. It's one thing to watch milk being poured out because everybody spilled a glass of milk. It's another thing to see a thousand pigs piled up in a pile that are going to be wasted. So, Thomas, this is really something, I mean, this happened in the Great Depression.

And the government was actually paying for people to destroy animals. That way they could drive the price up. And it was a nightmare. And it happened in the Soviet Union as well. And it leads to famine in countries that are not as sophisticated as ours. and it's going to we're going to have famine all around the world all around the world and the United States Brazil and Canada are we provide 60% of the meat for the rest of the world when we when we look at these these slaughterhouses or processing plants the problem is is

that you can go down to the processing plant and you can have your cattle you know butchered. The same with me. I do it, I do it locally because I eat my own beef. And so we can do that. But you can't have a local processing plant, which are great, actually provide that meat at the grocery store, which is what we should be doing. It should be local. I mean, every environmentalist should be all over this. It's absolutely right. Keep things local. That's absolutely right. Do you I realize 80% of our meat supplies processed by four different companies. And one of them is owned by the Chinese, the other is owned by Brazil. And so what we've done is we've made our supply line very brittle.

We've relied on foreign investment to process the meat that our farmers are growing before it can get to the consumers. Why would we do this? I mean, Brazil is one thing, but China is another. Can we stop selling things to the Chinese? God, help us. I think we should, and you put your finger on the solution, Glenn. There are still thousands of small mom-and-pop, American-owned. There's not a single foreign investment dime, you know, in these little mom-and-pop shops

where you take your cattle and I take my cattle. But the USDA has regulated them out of the market. Because what they require is that you have a full-time, employee of the USDA at your facility. You have to give them an office and all this other stuff. Your drains and your floors have to be a certain size. And all these rules, you know, they may be appropriate when you invite the Chinese into your country to process your food for you. But what they've done is they've kept the small guys from being able to produce meat and selling it in the supermarket. So you're going to have, you're going to have the ironic situation. It's already

happening where in Iowa for instance you have farmers slaughtering hogs and then at the supermarket there's a shortage of pork just a few miles away. While there's a processor, a local guy who can do your deer if you shoot one, if you shoot a deer or you can do your cattle if you're just selling it to your friends and family and they have ownership in the cow. And so what I've recognized is five years ago, Glenn, and I introduced the bill called the Prime Act and everything's a ridiculous acronym in Washington, D.C. So I was compelled to come up with an acronym that makes prime, the word prime. And don't laugh.

But it stands for processor revival, intrastate meat exemption. And at the time, I was like, well, who would ever care about reviving the processors? Well, the processors are shutting down. And so I think right now this week, people understand we need to revive. the processing, and it's going to become more acute when you go to the supermarket, it's going to be like Soviet Russia. You're going to go to buy chicken wings, and they're going to say, sorry, no chicken wings. Take a pound of chuck roast.

And so we won't have famine here, because what will happen before that happens is we'll be importing meat. The poor countries will realize, you know what, we can eat beans and rice, and we'll sell our beef to the Americans. Yeah. And that's already starting to happen. We're getting meat from, like, Africa or somewhere. And we can stop all this nonsense.

That's crazy. If we would pass the Prime Act, here's what it does. It's real simple. It says, if you've got a farmer and a processor and a grocery store and a consumer who are all in the same state, as long as we're not crossing state lines with this transaction, as long as everybody is, abiding by state laws and state regulations in that transaction, then the USDA can't put a farmer in jail for selling a hamburger to somebody. This will never, you know this as well as I do, Thomas. This turns the Commerce Act back on its head, back on the way that it should be.

Yes. In the Great Depression, they turned it upside down. This would turn it right side up. And the federal government will never, never give into that. Never. There are two groups that are opposing this. Obviously, the lobbyists in D.C. that represent the big meat packers. Okay, that's one big group.

But also. Which is a, it's corrupt. The meat industry is absolutely corrupt. And some of these organizations are disguised as farming organizations that are supposed to represent farmers. But they're actually financed by the processors. And I can tell you, they flip the table. on the farmer when they get to Washington, D.C., and they act like they're representing the farmer,

but it's all about the meat processor. This is why they got rid of country of origin labeling on beef and pork five years ago. And you had the farmers who were against getting rid of the country of origin labeling. If you're an American farmer, you want your stuff labeled in the supermarket. Right.

But if you're a meat processor, you'd be just as happy to get that animal from Mexico, grind it up, put the USDA, a DA label on it and sell it in the supermarket and have people think it was made in USA. Okay, Thomas, let me ask you this question. Are you introducing this bill again? Yes. In fact, I introduced it last May.

I had, before this week, I had 24 co-sponsors. Six of them are Democrats. And this week alone have picked up eight co-sponsors because people are calling their congressmen and they're saying, what's your solution? and if you don't have a solution, sponsor the Prime Act. Boy, call your congressman then and tell them to do the Prime Act. Tell them to do this because this changes so much, so much. If this change actually is passed, this would change a lot of regulation.

There could be nothing better that could happen. This is profound change if they would pass this. So call your congressman and tell them to, do the Prime Act and they may not even understand they may not even you know they'll they'll pass anything i mean they're not even there um but if this is brought up this would be really good really good and i'll tell you why it's good it can't be temporary it can't be temporary this is not an emergency thing just for this virus yeah this gets the meat processing back in the hands of americans and and people the small mom and pops they will invest they'll hire more people they'll expand

their production and instead of everything going across one bridge we'll have a hundred or a thousand bridges between the farmer and the table that's the way i mean you redundancy redundancy to get this program on the air there is there are three lines that are running um on this program right now one of them is is being used to bring my voice to you but two others are redundant we have an uplink that takes this thing in New York, in Denver, and also Los Angeles. Redundancy. If it's something important, you have redundancy. We don't anymore.

And it's wrong. And that's the one thing we should take from this. All right, Thomas, let me change the subject here. I've got to take a quick break for one minute. And then I'll come back. I want to ask you about an economic empowerment zone and why we're not pushing for the entire United States to be an economic empowerment zone, which would suspend so many of the regulations, and it would empower people to invest and create jobs just when we need it.

I think the entire country should be made that. I'd like to hear your response. And if there would be any thought of anybody in Washington being able to do that. We'll do that in a second. First, let me talk to you about American financing. getting a fresh start doesn't always have to take forever. Getting out of debt doesn't always have to take forever. Saving money doesn't have to take forever.

American financing, when you think about a mortgage thing, you'd be like, oh, my, you've got to be kidding me. I hate that process. American financing makes this super, super easy. I mean, you can close online. It's so easy. It's not like the old days when you had to see people in person. If you pay a mortgage rate over 4%, you're paying too much.

You can save, imagine if you could save $300 on your mortgage every single month. How could you use that money to pay down debt or to pay something else that you have to have? You need to be fiscally responsible right now. They can save you possibly. If you do a consolidation loan and you have high interest credit card debt, you would be saving $1,000 a month. Please make a 10-minute phone call just to see if there are any options for you to save money. American financing.

Get out of debt. American financing at 800-906-2440. They're waiting for your call right now, 1-800-906-2440, or go to Americanfinancing. It's Friday. Thomas Massey's with us for a few more minutes. Let me go to station identification for 10 seconds. American financing. NMLS-182334.

or www. nmLS consumer access.org. So, Thomas, you know, the thing that bothers me is that everyone on the left is saying, I mean, even the head of the UN said, we got to use this to reshape the world into something that, you know, is more useful. Nobody on the right, everybody else is like, I want to go back to normal. I don't. I want, okay, if we're going to redesign things, let's redesign things. why hasn't anyone talked about making America the entire country an economic,

what did I just call it, economic zone? Empowerment. I can't remember it. Empowerment zone. Which suspends some of the stupid regulations and empowers people to invest and create. Would there be any? Let's absolutely. Any appetite for that?

Hey, Glenn, I want to send back this 60-day free trial of socialism. I don't like it. I'm done with it. Right. And it's not free. The impacts of it are going to be a long time. I worried when we got started on this that the little taste of socialism that everybody gets was going to be sold when this is all over as the thing that saved us. Instead, we need to unleash American ingenuity and entrepreneur.

And Donald Trump is the guy that could do it. He understands regulation. He understands business. And he actually listens to the small business person and the small entrepreneur. I mean, he's the guy that could understand it and do it. And it would be the complete opposite of socialism. And it would have immediate effects on the economy, immediate effects. They would be immediate.

For instance, you know, in the last segment we talked about my prime. that would reduce one small regulation within the USDA. I put that on social media. A guy got a hold of me. He said, I used to process me. The regulation got too big. I shut it all down. He said, in five weeks, I can be going again.

Five weeks. So that's the kind of, you know, if you try to do this with big companies, they're going to say, well, it'll be a year, two years. Of course, of course. Not that there's anything wrong with big companies, but a lot of them, rely on these regulations to keep the little guys out. Let me tell you something. I built a radio studio, only a radio studio in New York City.

It took me a year to do it the way New York City, because there's so many regulations, a year to do it. I built a television and radio digital studio, a large one in Texas in five weeks because of regulations. Okay, five weeks, a year versus five weeks. And I built them the same way. I just didn't have all of these regulations. When you, there's a reason why Texas created over 50% of all jobs in America during the last recession because we're more free. If you do an economic empowerment zone over the entire country, you do things like U.S.

or I mean, the Prime Act, you will jumpstart the heart of this. nation quickly. Thomas Massey, thank you so much for joining. Thanks, Glenn. You can find him at massey. Dot house.gov. Okay, I want to talk to you about Father's Day. And I don't see, because, you know, if you're a guy and you're listening to us,

and you're like, I know Father's Day, get a tie. Here's something you can do, okay? Just suggest to your children that you want a rec tech. And you know that, you know, hey, we've all got other things we have to pay for. but there's a contest for Father's Day. Just enter me in this contest. Well, they're going to get to the website and they're going to go like, dad really wants one of these things. Why don't we just get him?

Yes, yes. And who knows? You might win one. But I think you'll probably get one for Father's Day if you ask. RecTech Grills. I want you to go to R-E-C-E-C-Grills.com.

We have to do this today. Do you have any tweets on what's new in Glenn's studio? We should look for that. This one is a really cool one. And we have a chance for you to win a brand new copy of my book. And we are going to be, you know, I'll autograph it for you and send it out to you. All you have to do is identify something new in my studio. I'm in my art studio.

So there's always something new and art. so we don't we don't count that. But I try to put a historic object. Today, I don't even know how I would describe it if I saw it. I would be like, I don't, I'm not sure what that even is. And if it didn't have the label on it from the auction house, I would never believe that this is what it is. I mean, it makes no sense to me, but.

The way to play along at home, by the way, is to use the hashtag Glenn's Studio. Every day you can do this whenever if you're watching Blaze TV, as soon as the broadcast starts up, you can look around. And as soon as you see it, tweet it right away, the first person who gets it right gets a signed copy of the book, arguing with socialists. I'm trying to get to this, the hashtag here.

Just need to skip one of the trending hashtags that's kind of in my face right here, which is hashtag I believe Biden. Oh my gosh. Remarkable from these people who told us to believe all women nine million times. Like last week. And you were a horrible person. You were a horrible person if you even said, I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to condemn anyone because I don't know.

I wasn't there. You were a horrible person if you didn't condemn Kavanaugh. It wasn't enough just to say, well, I mean, she might be telling the truth. She might not be. I don't know. I don't think there's enough evidence. No, no, no, no. No.

Oh my gosh, those people, I just thought. Do you want these hashtags real quick while we're here? Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Some, a lot of guesses on photos. The Mao statue again, that was there already. The black plunger looking thing in front of Chairman Mao. Yes. That's it?

Yes. Okay. That is it. He's walking to the back of the studio now. Yeah, I got to show this to you. This is unbelievable. This is from the late 1700s. and it looked kind of like a plunger thing.

But I don't know if you can see as I open it up. I'll try to get it into the light. There, I think you can capture it there just a little bit. It opens up. It's like a big pair of tongs almost. Yeah. Okay, it's made out of steel or iron. And if you can see inside, I wish I could get a close up on this,

there is a pattern on it. Well, it is, this is a 1700s waffle iron where you would make one waffle, you'd pour the batter on, you'd close it, and you'd hold it over the fire, and then you would turn it over and hold that on the fire, and it'd make a waffle. But what the pattern is inside is remarkable. This pattern inside is the seal of the United States. States. This is the great seal, the eagle

and everything from the United States. And you would make your waffle with the great seal on it. Is that crazy? It's pretty detailed for waffle making. But 17-00. It really is.

Do we have any idea who used it? Was there a historical figure who used it? Yeah, me. I made waffles in my fireplace last night. Really? Did you actually? No. No. You got a try using it. No, I would not. That's a solid, uh, that's a good Instagram live. This is insane. Yeah, this is insane. I mean, I don't know how you'd make that. I mean, it's, anyway,

I'm just glad I was born in this entry. Yeah. Even with everything that is going on today, uh, I'm glad I was born today. Although, I mean, I, you know, I know the country is opening up today. And this is going to sound really weird, but I am, I'm an odd guy. So I, I, I, I know this is going to sound, I'm not anxious to go back. I'm not. I'm not. I have a, I have, you're not interested in going back to the, to the life of before. I mean, obviously, yeah, I don't. We're all okay with losing the deaths, but as far as the actual, I'm a little like Willie, little like Willie Wonka. I don't think I want to open the. these gates again. I'm fine with my umpalumpas and my family and we're having a good time.

You know, I have my next door neighbor are my two daughters and son-in-law. And yeah, it's a plural marriage. What? No, I'm kidding. So they live next door. My grandkids left next door. So we've all kind of quarantined together. And working from home, I finish the show.

And before I start working on something else, I'll just take a stroll and I'll walk over to their house and I'll be like, hey, you know, the grandkids, what's happening? And, you know, spend 20 minutes with them and then do it again later or they'll come over. And I have to tell you, I am not looking forward to it. And I'm not a, like your wife is, she's very, she's an extrovert. And she has got to be around people where I, I don't, I don't really have that desire. I don't like going out to restaurants. I don't, I just don't, I don't like it.

I don't like it. Yeah, there are definitely things I'd like to hold on to here. I mean, we've been doing more like, you know, family walks and those types of things. And there's, you know, there's not the constant running around to 9,000 different sports teams for the kids. And some of that stuff is, is nice. I do miss the restaurants and the movie theaters and concerts and things like that, those fun weekend things. And travel, you know, I mean, there's no travel going on. You know, I keep thinking of myself.

This has to clear up eventually because the last trip of my life cannot be to CPAC. I refuse to let my last trip on Earth to be to CPAC. It was a great time, but that can't be it. But you know what? This summer, I'm going to go to the ranch and we're going to drive. I'm not going to get into an airplane. We're just going to drive. And it's not because I don't want to get into an airplane.

I just, I am enjoying this slower pace of life. And I think part of it is my kids. are not running around. We're not getting to the end of the week and saying, honey, I haven't even had a chance to talk to you this week. I mean, that is the way it has always been where we're just so busy.

You're just like, I've wanted to tell you something since Tuesday. And we just had a second. That's not happening. Yeah. And I love that. And all the disclaimers apply here. Obviously,

you know, we know there's a lot of people in different positions. It depends on what industry you're in right now. I mean, you know, if I was, no, no, no, if, first of all, if I were in an apartment, if I didn't have a good marriage, if all of those disclaimers, I am very fortunate. I'm very fortunate. Yeah, I think the way to look, you know, not to mention like, you know, you have all of these people who are out of work and all these terror, not to mention the obvious virus. There's all these terrible consequences that come along with this, obviously. But I do think people will mind this experience to find nuggets that they want to keep. You know, there's going to be, there's going to be that process I think people go to and say, like, you know what, we've been doing these daily walks at night.

Like, let's keep those up. You know, I think there's going to be things like that that people take out of this. Right. It's not like, I'm not Robert Redford where I'm like, you know, this is saving the planet. We should keep doing this. No, there's horrible things that are happening because of this. I get that. But there are a few things that I actually like.

One of them is I don't live. in Virginia where you people are not being allowed out until what, June 10th? June 10th. I mean, that is... That is crazy. My belief is that's the latest in the country. I think that is still true. I know New York is even less than that.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they were the first. That was their first thing. June 10th. And they're sticking to it. Yeah, I mean, I guess there's an argument to be made. I've thought about this as we've gone. Do you, would you rather have someone say, okay, in two weeks, we're going to re-evaluate

this and keep extending it for another two weeks, or would you rather have a date far out in the future, and then maybe if things go, well, they shorten it. You know, I mean, there's some level of psychological weirdness there that maybe they're going for, but honestly, you know, Governor Blackface. I think he's just going for, I just want to control the state a little more. Yeah, no, it's, I don't think people like being told what to do. I think this is actually really if Donald Trump is as smart as I think he is on reading the American people.

And if he takes advantage of opening things and relaxing regulation and he can do things to get the economy going back, I think this will really hurt this push for socialism and big government. because I think people in all walks of life are not liking this at all. No, well, everyone obviously just can't stand this life. I think people realize that some of it is necessary and some of it we've had to deal with. You know, a lot of people are trashing Trump for his approach to this. And it's weird. A lot of people on the left who actually theoretically should like his approach,

who are arguing for longer shutdowns. Those are people who are bashing Donald Trump. And then the people who are normally big-time Trump supporters are the biggest skeptics of the things that, Trump's, Trump has done. I think honestly, he's walking very difficult line with not, with a limited amount of information. And I think he's actually handled this relatively well. I think so, too. You do? Yeah, because I think that's a minority opinion for whatever reason. But, you know, look, I don't think it's been perfect. He's in an impossible place. Yeah.

It's an impossible place. Yeah. I know, I did a big show on Stu Does America this, this week. Stu does Sweden. And, you know, the entire country felt violated. But I, I, I, I felt it was the right thing to do. And it was the next day that Trump actually started tweeting about, like, hey, you guys keep saying Sweden. Well, look at Sweden. And it's been, I would say, mixed in Sweden. The results, there's some good things.

There's some things I like about, you know, recommendations over government edicts, which, by the way, is what we did nationally. We didn't actually have government edicts nationally. It was some states have gone overboard, but the national issues were just recommendations. But you look at Sweden and, like, their results have not been that great. and, you know, people will point out they have a higher death per capita than us, which is a little unfair as far as a different comparison of countries. But one of the most fascinating things I found going into that

is that Sweden did not close their economy down, as people know. They only limited gatherings to, first it was 500, then they lowered it to 70, and then they lowered it to 50. They had some other, they didn't close all schools. The younger kids' schools stayed open. They had some differences than us. But despite of all the praise they've received, for keeping things open more,

their economy is in just as much shambles as ours is. In fact, their own government projects our GDP to drop less than theirs. The Swedish government projects that our GDP will go down less than the Swedish GDP. You know, their cinemas, which they kept open, movie theaters,

they stayed open. Well, they kept them open, except that their box office receipts dropped 99.5%. So is that open? I mean, I don't even know. Like, yes, I guess theoretically someone could have gone. Yeah, there's, let's pick this up on Monday because we're out of time.

Let's pick this up on Monday. Go through the stats on Sweden because there's a lot of things that we can compare and go, you know, here's one thing I really hate about our approach. But if you look at Sweden, this is actually really bad for the small businessman the way Sweden did it. So, you know, I don't know. how we could have done this any better than we did. And I don't think now is the time to kind of review that because everybody's making about politics. But we get into that.

Also, I promised a truth expose of the worst experience I've ever had at Home Depot. And I mean, I've been fuming about it for a week, but I don't want to just, I can't shortchange Home Depot on this review for, you know, for just two minutes. And there's nothing they can do to repair it. So I'm not asking or threatening or anything. I'm just going to, I'm going to expose them for one of the worst managerial decisions I have ever seen. And I think part of it is because, hey, we're open. We're the only place you can go.

So screw you, pal. It was bad. And I want to have some time to talk about that on Monday. so Home Depot, I don't want to shortchange you. All right. Let me tell you about our sponsor. It's a relief factor. Relief factor.

If you are in pain, please try this. Try it. You've got nothing to lose. Yeah. Okay. If it doesn't work, you're out $20. But $20 on the gamble, when 70% of the people who take it go on to order more month after month,

70% of the people will say it's working for me. I don't know. pretty good bet um try it just for three weeks if it doesn't work for you in three weeks it's probably not going to work and they're honest about that and open about it and i love that about them it's relief factor go to relief factor.com i have my life back because of relief factor i take it three times a day been taking it for two years it reduces inflammation and that's the biggest problem that we have yeah if you look at me all that puffiness strangely not inflammation uh strangely donuts and ice cream but inflammation inside my body is what causes pain relieffactor.com takes that away

for me 800, 500, 583, 84. It's relief factor.com. This is the Glenbeck program. We're so glad that you're with us this Friday. As parts of the country open up and things go back to, quote, normal. I don't, I'd really interest to hear what you have to say about going out. And what that experience is going to be like tonight. We're not, I don't have any plans to, to go out this weekend. I've got kind of like an M. Knight Chomelon,

the village kind of thing happening in my house where I'm like, no, don't go past the gates. Nothing. It's, there's nothing past the gates. In fact, there's monsters right around the corner right on the street at front of the house. So how do these door dash people keep getting in getting here then? How are they okay? Yeah, it's weird.

Well, you saw, I am legend. You saw that. And these DoorDash people, they're just like Will Smith in that movie. They go out and they know we're in here. I, on the other hand, after tonight's episode of Stu Does America, I will be going out to dinner. That's right, America. You can do that now in very limited ways. But I'm doing it not only tonight, but also Saturday night because my wife is dying.

So are you? So are you happy about that? Are you glad? Are you doing this for her? Or, I mean, because you wouldn't go into it. Like, I want to go see movies again. I love going to see movies. But I'm not going to a crowded movie theater.

If it was open and it was crowded, no. Yeah, I mean, I'm no COVID skeptic guy. So I'm taking it very seriously. However, like, you know, I think this is a sensible step. I've read ungodly amounts about this thing. And the outside part of this, I think, is really encouraging. So that is where, you know, where we're going to be dining tonight.

Yeah, outdoor eating only right now in Texas. Yeah, good. All right. Have a safe weekend. Enjoy it. We'll see you Monday. You're listening to Glenn. If you are a dog owner, you probably know that a good diet is vital for both his health and overall happiness.
