Starting point is 00:01:48 There is the biggest story in America happening right now, and for some reason, it's not getting a lot of coverage. In fact, Katie Herzog, who is a blue checkmark on the left, said this is so bizarre. I've called 10 gas stations around Asheville, and not a single one has gas. One person laughed at me when I asked, and yet nothing on current gas shortages on NPR or other national news. sites. How is this not the biggest story in the U.S. right now? The local NPR station didn't even mention it on the last update. What? Well, it was covered. It was covered locally on a Fox channel. Here's what they said. It's the QT gas station on Selenese or on 9.30 at night. They are out of gas. Everybody sitting here is not getting gas. Everything except diesel is out.
Starting point is 00:02:45 what they just told me. This is going to affect everything in America.

Get out of pain. 70% of the people who try relief factor go on to order more. Why would you do that if it didn't work?

Starting point is 00:04:37 slash Glenn. Tomorrow night is a very important show if you want to look into the future. If you're brave enough to look into the future, uh, what is happening in the United States is already playing out, especially in one country in the world, uh, beyond the United States. They're ahead of us. I'll show you exactly what our future holds. Uh, coming up tomorrow night. You don't want to miss it.
Starting point is 00:05:04 If you want to be prepared, don't miss, uh, tomorrow night show. Don't miss a single episode of the Glenn Beck program. All right. Um, so we have, we have the oil pipeline. The gas pipeline that has been shut down.
Starting point is 00:05:21 it is the gas pipeline that serves major U.S. airports, including Atlantis Hartsfield-Jackson, which is the busiest passenger by traffic anywhere. This provides jet A fuel,
Starting point is 00:05:43 it provides gas, and it also provides diesel. This was hacked last Friday. It was hacked by a group Darkside. Darkside is in Russia. We know that. We don't have ties directly to the Kremlin. However, you don't do things like this without Putin's understanding or permission.
Starting point is 00:06:12 You would never, never attack. Do you think they're going to attack China? You think they're going to go after an ally? of course not that's why dark side never attacks former Soviet states so we know that it was
Starting point is 00:06:37 at least a Russian gang we don't have ties to Putin himself but we know the attack came from Russia we know who these people are here is what the White House said yesterday about the pipeline ransom listen to this
Starting point is 00:06:56 that victims of cyber attacks often face a very difficult situation and they have to just balance often the cost benefit when they have no choice with regard to paying a ransom. Colonial is a private company and will defer information regarding their decision on paying a ransom to them. Would the administration offer any advice on whether or not to pay a ransom? So typically that is a private sector decision and the administration has not offered further advice at this time. the rise in ransomware, that is one area we're definitely looking at now to say what should be the government's approach to ransomware actors and to ransoms overall. Stu, can I ask you a question?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yes. In the original episodes of 24, what was the one thing Kiefer Sutherland always said? Do not negotiate with terrorists. the United States doesn't negotiate with terrorists. We all know that. We all know that. This is critical infrastructure. Now, let me give you a reason why I think that all of this is being let play out.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I think the Biden administration is moving at a geriatric pace for a reason. it makes it so much easier to nationalize everything. It makes it so much easier when everybody is screaming about gas. They didn't create the problem, but they will exploit the problem. What was his response yesterday? His response yesterday is, well, this is, you know, covered in the stimulus package. This is why I need to have that, you know, $2.2 trillion infrastructure. Really?
Starting point is 00:08:54 is that it? I'm telling you I got up this morning and I was looking at the news, what's happening in Israel, what's happening all around the world, what is happening in our own country, with our own economy. And I thought, you couldn't plan this any better. You really couldn't. And I don't mean that, you know, gee, it just couldn't be planned any better. I mean, they did a really good job.
Starting point is 00:09:21 They did a really good job. You cannot convince me that this is all just, Inept people. They're not that many inept people. And yes, I've been to Target. I, this is going to affect the airports. It's going to affect the gas stations. It's going to affect prices. Well, gee, no big deal. The gas stations all along the East Coast are now beginning to run out of fuel. This is America's biggest petroleum pipeline, and they can't get it back online because of Russian hackers. If the United States of America cannot, we have such weak defenses that they cannot protect our private businesses from terrorists, and that's exactly what they are, terrorists from Russia, then what the hell good? is the federal government.
Starting point is 00:10:37 What is the reason we have government? We have government to protect our rights. We have a government to protect our property, to protect our way of life. It's like the police. We have the police because we can't police everything ourselves. We have the government because there are certain things we can't do by ourselves.
Starting point is 00:11:04 One of them is stopping cyber terrorism from Russia. Oh, this is a private sector. Is it? That's weird because you would think that the pharmaceutical companies would be a private sector thing too. But you had no problem marching in there and saying, I want to take the patents. North Carolina has declared a state of emergency. Today's emergency declaration will help North Carolina prepare for any potential motor vehicle fuel supply interruption. across the state and ensure motorists are able to have access to fuel.
Starting point is 00:11:48 This is according to the governor. This is the fourth day yesterday, day five today, of the largest oil pipeline or gasoline pipeline, fuel pipeline, in the east coast. I don't know if the president knows that, but that's where most people in America live. Meanwhile, they keep denying inflation. Last week I told you at Costco and Kroger, among other brands, began the process of serving size optimization. That's basically what they're saying is we're going to charge you the same price
Starting point is 00:12:28 but give you less. Paper towel rolls instead of being 235 sheets is 212 sheets. Your package of mac and cheese still provides four servings, but now instead of 12 ounces per serving, it's 10.1 ounces. Kirkland, the brand of whole salted cashews used to be 22 ounces, still in the same plastic container, now 20 ounces of nuts. The rest is air. This is the first thing that happens in inflation.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Serving sizes go down. It's been going on for generations. The only other thing you can do is, you know, reduce the product or raise your prices. Well, nobody wants to raise their prices. But actually, because instead of paying 10% more for those cash shoes, you're just getting 10% less. But you're paying the same price. So it's the same thing. It's just a trick. Is anybody else sick of tricks? Is anybody else just searching for somebody to be honest? God, I'm so sick and tired of having to try to figure out what everything means, everybody's trying to bamboozle you or trick you.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Did you see what was in? I'm going to talk about this next hour. Did you see the left? Democrats seem to believe Americans are so gullible and stupefied that friendly reporters can openly quote the left gloating about how they lie, steal, and cheat to get power. Time magazine article crowing about Democratic's successful conspiracy. to rig the 2020 election through aggressive lawsuits, complaints to corporate media, the ability to deploy rioters.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Remember that? Time Magazine quoted them, talked about a conspiracy, a whole group of people that had conspired together, the corporations and everybody else. Now, New York Magazine yesterday. It's out with an article quoting Democrats celebrating their successes. at lying to Americans about the true goals of the president their conspiracy elected.
Starting point is 00:14:52 The author claims a person close to the White House told her at his 100-day mark, Biden is the most liberal president we've ever had and the public thinks he's a moderate. That's a winning strategy to me. They're willing to accept that you're going to write this piece
Starting point is 00:15:09 so long as they know that swing voters in Colorado aren't going to read it. That's a quote. I am so sick and tired. You want to change the country? Then tell us what you want to change it to. Stop telling me that you're not a Marxist, only later to reveal that you are a Marxist,
Starting point is 00:15:33 and Marxism is great. You smeared me, you did everything you could to destroy me and my family for years. For what? So you Marxists could win? now the powers that be are lying to you about inflation. Why is inflation so bad? Because inflation screws you.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It screws the guy down at the bottom. It screws the business owner that is just trying to make it. It doesn't screw the banks. It doesn't screw big business. They're getting bailouts all the time. In the end, it really screws the little guy. who has played the game the way it's supposed to be. You pay your taxes.
Starting point is 00:16:31 You save your money. You went to school. You worked hard at your job. All of these things that are now in jeopardy because you might not believe in critical theory. I'm sorry, I don't think all white people are racist. I also don't think black people can't be racists. Sue me. Shut me down.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Go ahead. You play by the rules. You put your money in the bank. Your money, because they are printing money, is worth less. Yes, it says a dollar. I've got $100 in the bank. But if inflation is at 10%, you actually only have 90%. cents in the bank.
Starting point is 00:17:28 The way they are running, and this is not my estimate, the way they are running, experts believe that your $100 will be worth $52 in just a couple of years. Who wins? I'll tell you what it looks like. You want to know what it looks like? Look at Columbia right now. I haven't even started. I haven't gotten to a darn thing I wanted to get to yet.
Starting point is 00:18:07 It's going to be one of those shows, gang. Buckle up. Back in one minute, I'll tell you about what's happening in Columbia and then what's really happening here in America.

This is from Columbia. Bloody violent protests have raged on for 10 days now through Columbia,
Starting point is 00:19:56 leaving at least 26 dead and more than 900 injured. Demonstrations erupted in Bogota, Medellin, Kali, and other cities. April 28th, decrying President the President Dukes, I think, proposed tax hike that critics say will raise the prices of food and taxes for more middle-class workers. The plan is meant to unburden the government. from the COVID-19 financial strain. So what happened in Colombia? They decided to give people money
Starting point is 00:20:30 and give them a basic minimum wage. Just start paying things out. Just start printing money. Well, now here comes the Piper, and he demands his due. So what do they say? We're going to tax more. We have to tax more.
Starting point is 00:20:48 We're out of other schemes. We have to tax more. We have to tell you the truth now. You know when we told you that this wouldn't, nothing to worry about, this is going to get us out of the hole? We all knew, because 2 plus 2 does equal 4, we all knew that there was going to come a time when this whole thing could collapse on us.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Well, here it is. So now we have to tell you the truth. We have to raise taxes. That's coming, America. So now people are marching in the streets. But they're not marching in the streets just because of inflation, just because of high taxes, just because the government lied? No, no, no, they have a little help on the streets.
Starting point is 00:21:32 You see, they're also protesting the violent police responses. Oh, you mean it's not just America? Really? Isn't that interesting? Yeah, they've been protesting for a while for police reform and equity. Oh, well, that's great. We have so much in common. Listen to this. This is a guy, 34-year-old
Starting point is 00:22:00 tourism sector employee. Says the government doesn't want to listen to us and we just have no choice. I've been walking every day peacefully with friends. We can observe the undercover cops. They even tried to shoot us on Monday. I wasn't injured. I wasn't a militant before,
Starting point is 00:22:17 but we need money to live. We need to go back to work. We're supposedly a democracy. Here's a group of people that say, I want to go back to work. Meanwhile, in America, we pay you to sit at home. Oh, by the way, they did that too in Utah. In Colombia, they had a basic minimum income. Worked out well. I'm sorry, I am in a mood today. Lifelock.

Starting point is 00:24:12 intentionally to tear us down and destroy us. Look what they've done with the police. Look what they are doing with the police. Look what they're doing with our defense department. Our defense department, our CIA. All they care about is, you know, cisgender
Starting point is 00:24:30 people not getting the opportunity that others should have now. I mean, it's, it's, it's insanity what is going on. Insanity. Remember, I told you last summer. Think of this. I told you last summer. You haven't seen anything yet.
Starting point is 00:24:55 You will not recognize your country from this summer, said this last summer. You won't recognize your country that you're, living in right now next summer. We're not even in the summer and I don't recognize my country. Do you? Do you recognize? Do you recognize an administration that says after the biggest cyber hit on our nation's infrastructure to hit our oil and gas pipelines and shut down the East Coast, the colonial pipeline, do you recognize an administration that says, hey, this is a private sector thing, and they're just going to have to decide whether or not they pay the ransom or not? Do you recognize that? Because I certainly don't.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Do you recognize a country that will jail the people who are in the capital riot? I abhor what happened on January 6th, I abhor it. It is, it was foolish, it was reckless, it was wrong, it was illegal, it was the, the dumbest political move I've ever seen, let alone people died. I mean, I can't tell you how many ways that this was, this was wrong. However, do you believe the defendants are, do you believe they should be isolated? Do you believe they should be in solitary confinement? Do you believe they should be in a place where there is no ability for their attorneys to meet with them and discuss the trial? That's exactly what is happening.
Starting point is 00:26:54 We're going to get their attorney on probably, hopefully tomorrow. Are you kidding me? One prisoner says a prison guard beat him up so badly. He suffered permanent eye damage. Then there's Edward Lang, an observant Jew, who claims Gar's disparaged him as a false profit as he prayed for other inmates. What is happening to our country? A country that is now paying people more money to stay at home than you can get to work. The single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000.
Starting point is 00:27:51 with $57,327 in net income and benefits, then to earn a gross income of $70,000 with net income and benefits. You can make the equivalent of $70,000 by working a job making $29 and then taking the rest from the government. Does that sound like a country? that is going to get healthy? How many homes? They say inflation isn't happening.
Starting point is 00:28:34 How many homes could you build with $50,000 in lumber in 2015? We have a housing shortage, by the way. Housing shortage. The solution is, build more houses. Okay. In 2015 with $50,000 worth of lumber, you could build almost 15 houses, 14.7. Today with $50,000, you can build two. Two.
Starting point is 00:29:06 So don't tell me inflation isn't here. Oh, by the way, inflation definitely isn't here. I mean, it's definitely not here. You know, we covered the hidden indicator where they're just reducing the sizes of things by 10%. But charging you the same amount, that's not inflation. Yes, it is. That's hidden inflation. Let me tell you about the latest.
Starting point is 00:29:34 You know that stores are closing like crazy. People are, you know, out of work from their traditional job. There's one store that's actually booming. One brand store has opened more new stores than any other. Not only have they opened more new stores than any other so far, they're also set to open more new stores across the U.S. than any other by a wide margin. Do you know what that store is? Dollar General.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Dollar General is a discount grocery, drug, and variety store with locations in 39 states. Along with the family dollar and dollar tree, their footprint with U.S. customers has continued to increase since the financial crisis of 2008. The discount grocery category has grown from 15% of all grocery expenditures in 2008 to nearly 30% of all U.S. groceries expenses in 2019. Nearly 100% growth in 10 years. By the way, that's happening while everybody's doing their shopping also on Amazon. Then the pandemic hit. With its one-two punch of COVID-19,
Starting point is 00:30:53 the idiotic government response to COVID-19 led to a shutdown of the entire economy, lock people in their homes, forced small businesses to close their doors, maybe count this as a one, two, three punch. The government's next move in a you broke it, you bought it sort of way, pumps trillions of dollars into the company or into the economy by way of cash stimulus payments, extended unemployment benefits, canceled or deferred rents, forgave student loans, hundreds of billions in child care credits.
Starting point is 00:31:30 By the way, according to the American Enterprise Institute, the average U.S. household with two kids that lost a job during COVID-19 is eligible for $2,000 a month across all state programs and federal subsidies. That's $24,000 a year just in COVID-19 related benefits on top of whatever normal welfare you can receive. So, retailers are pushing back against the pandemic. CVS, Kroger, Rite Aid, Hivey, all stores have close. locations during 2020. What has the Dollar General store done? Over the past 12 months, they've had 240 new store openings in a 12-month period. But that's not even the big news. The big news is that Dollar General is on pace to open 1,035 new store locations by the end
Starting point is 00:32:28 of the year. That's two new dollar stores every day. from February 2020 till the end of 2021. The CEO says the demand is just there. Nearly half of all new retail store locations in the U.S. opening in 21 will be dollar stores. Half will be dollar stores. So what does that tell you? You ain't shopping at whole goods anymore. You're not shopping at a Wegmans.
Starting point is 00:33:03 it means consumers in America are changing their habits. They're looking for cheaper alternatives. This is the canary in the coal mine. In the coal mine, you don't know that gas is leaking until the canaries die. When you see that, get out. The government figures the consumer price index. You don't see the move from Smith. or Whole Foods or Wegmans to Dollar General.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Because to them, all of a sudden, the prices of groceries go down. So rather than seeing inflation driving prices up, they see the average grocery store receipt getting cheaper, and the CPI doesn't go up. But on the ground, what's happening is many shoppers already paying more out of pocket for gas a lot more soon for lumber, for food, for rent. They're looking for ways to make any kind of balance happen,
Starting point is 00:34:11 in their checkbook, people generally, if they're responsible, adjust to their new means. And when the price of everything is going up due to inflation, consumer behavior changes to reduce the cost. It means they voluntarily lower their standard of living, in this case, reducing their grocery costs by shopping at stores with fewer luxury items. The Congressional Budget's CPI is blind to all of them. intentionally. All they care about are the numbers. They don't care about actual people and they've rigged the system. There's no real inflation. It's maybe going to hit 3.4%. It's already at 10. If you calculate the way it was calculated when I was a kid, it's over 10. When Reagan was in office,
Starting point is 00:35:12 it would have been 10.4% if you calculated it the same way. The American consumer knows what's going on. And I tell you, the way this administration is acting, it's like they were acting before the election. Do you remember how we all said there's no ground game? How is he planning on getting elected? He's not going out. There's no momentum for him at all. There's no ground game.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And yet they were so arrogant. They just, they operated as if they knew they were going to win. Some would say, definitely not this broadcaster, would say they knew because it was rigged. They are acting like they are going to rule forever. They are acting as if no one really cares what the American public is saying about their policies, and Democrats are turning on their policies. Why don't they seem to care? Why do they keep going and doing all of this very unpopular stuff?
Starting point is 00:36:33 What do they know that we don't know? Bo lives in Ohio. He writes in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens. He said, Glenn, it took my dog Toby a few days to get used to the Rough Greens. But he seems to love it now. It's too early to see a change in his behavior yet, but I am seeing a few moves from his younger self. I'm definitely going to continue to see if he responds. more. Thank you, Rough Greens.
Starting point is 00:37:02 This is somebody who just tried the trial pack. You want to make sure that you get the trial pack. If you're not sure your dog is going to like Rough Greens, I mean, every dog I know of loves this stuff. It's like dog crack. Dog crack. And it is
Starting point is 00:37:18 a bag, a trial bag that will let you have your dog try it for, I don't know, a few days, depending on the size of your dog. This might be three days for my dog. For Stu's dog could be six months. Pats dog. it's a year and a half. But you can get the trial pack.
Starting point is 00:37:33 All you have to do is pay for the shipping and handling. Just try it. Make sure your dog will eat it. Then order a full bag of Rough Greens and begin the challenge. And you'll see 30 days, 60 days, 120 days. My dog is still changing on me. And he's been eating it for a year. You will meet the real dog inside of your dog that is just dying to come out.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Give them the nutrients they need. Put this on their food. Roughgreens. com, RUFFGreens.com slash back. Roughgreens.com slash back. This is the Glenn Beck program. Dude, do you hear the Jake Tapper audio yesterday with the White House official when Jake said, why is the president saying we should abide by CDC guidelines and then wear a mask
Starting point is 00:38:24 outside? Why is he doing that? Well, you know, he believes that, you know, it's still dangerous on the outside. Well, wait, but why is he? Why? Why does he believe that? Why does he believe that? Can you go into the numbers on the CDC guideline on the ability to catch it outside?
Starting point is 00:38:46 It's really amazing. David Lianhardt for the New York Times, who's actually done a lot of really good reporting on this sort of stuff, has talked about today a number that has been thrown around by the CDC, which is basically saying, like, they are saying now less than 10% of all cases. come from outdoor transmission. Less than 10%. Less than 10%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:09 You'd think to yourself. That seems like a small number. It seems like a small number. But a number that might legitimately still have you wearing a mask or social distancing because it's still obviously a part of this. It might not be the majority. Yes. But it's a part of this.
Starting point is 00:39:25 And it's wild absolutely true. It is less than 10%. I mean, that is a hard. That is absolutely. true, Glenn. The thing is, it's a lot. How much? Yeah, how much less than 10%?
Starting point is 00:39:39 So, we don't know exactly the number, but experts believe, now again, we're supposed to follow the science. According to the New York Times. Yes. New York Times. Yes. Yeah. Experts believe the number is likely more like 0.1% of cases are outside.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Wow. They have based this, there are a number on, there was a, there was a study. that happened in thousands and thousands of cases and there's 95 of them that were transmitted outdoors. Now there are no known super spreader events in the world that have ever occurred outdoors and there are no known
Starting point is 00:40:15 transmissions other than close conversations that have happened outdoors. So these 95 cases that they're talking about are actually from all from Singapore at construction sites and when you look into the details of it
Starting point is 00:40:33 Basically, they just said these came indoors and they were actually indoors, not outdoors. Are you assured that Joe Biden's not going to be on a construction site in Singapore anytime soon? I'm not. I'm not. He may think he's on one. There you go. Right now, I think he thinks he's on one. Let me tell you about Rough Greens.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Ever since Uno tried Rough Greens for the first time, he is a different dog. you're dog too right sue oh yeah i mean miles is miles was i mean practically dead you're talking about president miles is that who you're talking about yeah president miles president miles yes president miles has been able to run the country he's a little bit he's awake more often than joe biden um and a lot of that's because of rough greens uh without rough have you really seen a different have you seen a change oh yeah i mean first of all it's it is run to the bowl and you know miles doesn't run that much anymore, but it's a very slow walk to the bowl, which is more than normal. We don't have to carry him there, at least.
Starting point is 00:41:36 And yeah, you see a real difference in energy level. My dog, Piper is much younger, and you can tell. I mean, she wants to run around. She wants to play. You know, there's a lot of, the activity increase is noticeable. Yeah, same with Uno. Uno is nine, which is old for a German Shepherd. And he's acting like he was three.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I mean, it's really a change. Try a free bag of rough greens for your dog just to try out. you pay for is shipping, you get a little bag, make sure that they'll eat it, you put it on their food. If they love it, order a bigger bag and watch the results. 833, Glenn 33 or roughgreens.com slash back. I got a letter in from a fan and listener who is really struggling. 34 years old listens all the time and doesn't know what to do, doesn't know how to fight or.
Starting point is 00:43:05 or at least present facts to his friends. We go there in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about relief factor. Relief factor is something that is really going to change your life. It is a pain remedy that is real. And I say that kind of unbelieving because, you know, anything that works on inflammation, that's where all of our pain is coming from. But anything that works on inflammation has never really worked for me.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I don't know why. But it just doesn't. I mean, ibuprofen 800. Shut up. Geez, I already take that. I think, you know, ibuprofen 1,600. It doesn't make a dent with me. So I really didn't think that relief factor would work.
Starting point is 00:44:04 It did. And I still take it three times a day, every day. It is, it's a miracle in my life. It's a miracle in many people's lives. Try it. You might be part of the 70% where it just works wonders in your life. And you get out of pain, you get your life back. Just try it.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Three week quick start. You'll know in three weeks. Doesn't work in three weeks. It's not going to work for you. Relieffactor.com. Call 800, 500, 583,83, 84. It's relief factor. dot com.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Dear Glenn, my name is Frederick Morgan. I'm one of these young black Americans. 34 years old. I listened to Rush every day when I was in middle school. I truly believe in the conservative thought.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I am a conservative. But I can't fight some of the things my friends bring up. I try my hardest to fight it because I know that I'm right. I went to Florida State University. I'm a major in history. I'd love of your opinion, if you could, please tell me how I can fight this story that this country was built on slaves. When it actually truly was all the way up to Canada and the original 13 colonies, they did have indentured servants right alongside everyone else at the time.
Starting point is 00:45:39 I try to tell people this. I try to give them, you know, some information that will help change their lives. The whole thing about the Civil War, how many lives were lost, white lives, white lives. But it's just not enough. I need more history. I need more real history. Because what I was taught, obviously it just isn't enough. So he goes on and he's basically pleading for information.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Frederick, I got your email this morning. And I really appreciate you writing in. Let me see if I can help you. First of all, you're right about indentured servants. The first American slave happened in the 1600s. Now, that was an English slave. There was no America in the 1600s. It was English.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And that slave belonged to a black man. See, he was an indentured servant. It was a black indentured servant to a black man. And what indentured servant meant is, you know, it's kind of in a way when a company pays for your education into something and then, it's this, it's the military. You do what the military says and they'll pay for your education, but you work for them for at least four years. That's basically what indentured servitude was. It wasn't slavery. It was indentured servitude.
Starting point is 00:47:19 So this indentured servant, I guess, just didn't work hard enough to this man's liking. And so he went to court and he said, I think he owes me the rest of his life. Thus making him a slave with no chance of escape. That was a black man that sued for that privilege and won in an English court. So the first slave was black. The first slave owner was black. While the numbers don't compare because of just the volume, the per capita rate in many of the southern states,
Starting point is 00:48:09 slaves were held per capita in more black families than white families. Most people didn't have slaves. But most people didn't look at slavery at all. It's not that they didn't look at it and judge it great. They refused to look at it. For instance, we're doing that right now on many things, many things. And when your progressive friends say, well, they didn't stop slavery, no. Do you believe abortion is either good or bad?
Starting point is 00:48:47 That it's either a fundamental right that every woman should have to, kill her baby or it's a fundamental right of the babies to not be killed by their mothers. Either way, it doesn't matter. How come we haven't solved that? Why haven't you done everything you can to make sure that every woman has the right? Oh, you say you have. You've done everything you can, but you still have half the country or more believing it's wrong. So now what are you going to do? What needs to happen for you? If you believe that that is the right of every woman to be able to choose to kill her child. Every woman has that right. And she's enslaved to a system that says, no.
Starting point is 00:49:34 What are you doing to free her from that? We're doing everything we can. That's exactly what the founders did. They did everything they could. But at some point, you either have to kill people over it, and have another war, or you just believe in progress that we're going to make steps and eventually we will get through this. See, that's what progressivism is, except I think progressivism is actually on the side of evil because it was really started to make us a communist country or a fascistic
Starting point is 00:50:14 country because before the 1940s and the 1950s were communism and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, fascism revealed itself for the death machine that it was. When it first was proposed, people in America, many on the right and the left, Republicans and Democrats thought, you know, this is the way it should be. We should do that. But they didn't want the bloody revolution. They didn't want to kill people over it. So they decided we would just put it in step by step.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And eventually we'd get there. Now, yes, it's taken 100 years. But voila! we are here. So should they have had a bloody revolution in 1917 here in America? Well, I guess if you're an absolutist, you would say yes. But if you're an absolutist, then what happens to when you have control now of all three branches? You are just marching headlong into socialism.
Starting point is 00:51:18 What are you going to do with the 50% of the Americans that don't want to do that? that don't believe in that path. What are you going to do? Are you going to hope that progressivism will change them? Or are you going to scare them or shoot them? Because that's the choice that our founders had on slavery. Refer them to the Declaration of Independence, the first draft. You can find it online.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Look for where Thomas Jefferson's handwriting changes. Look for when Jefferson starts to print things out. not in cursive letters. Look where he capitalizes and underlines the word men. Why would he do that? He understood. He understood that slaves were men. That slaves had just a same equal right as everybody else to be free.
Starting point is 00:52:21 That's why he excoriates the king, King George, and explains how many times they tried to stop it. What makes you any different as a progressive than the founders? They did everything they could, including all new lands, the Northwest Ordinance, forbade any kind of slavery. It was not going to spread. In fact,
Starting point is 00:52:51 they did everything they could to shut it down, to slowly bleed it dry. If we were a nation that was built by slaves and over the 400 years of the slave trade, I think we imported about a million slaves. Why isn't Brazil built on the back of slaves, seeing that they took about 8 million? Why aren't they known as a country built on slavery?
Starting point is 00:53:29 We took the least. Americans took the least amount of slaves. for all the rest of the the Dutch slave trade we were the lowest on the totem pole why is it that we are the only ones why is it that we are the only one yeah well I took a civil war to stop it yes it did isn't that amazing
Starting point is 00:53:52 isn't that amazing we are the only country in the world where white people fought white people to free black people gee that sounds off racist, doesn't it? We killed 600,000 men and women and children in many cases on the battlefield. 600,000 in the Civil War. White people fighting white people to free black people. Help me out. Well, that wasn't what the Civil War was about. The Civil War was about the Union.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yes, it was. And the union was trying to abolish slavery. That's why they succeeded because they thought Abraham Lincoln was going to stop slavery. Well, he didn't did he when he first got in. He didn't care. He said the federal government doesn't have that power to stop it. It has to stop in the slave states. you might call him a progressive
Starting point is 00:55:09 but when they came out and said we reject this union and to join our new Confederate union you have to be not only accepting slaves you have to actively be involved in importing and expanding the slave trade we thought that was evil we thought that was wrong so yep we went to war
Starting point is 00:55:34 See, the problem with this is this is so easy. It's so easy to fight, but no one really wants to listen to it. Nobody wanted to listen to the plight of slavery, just like nobody wants to talk about abortion today. Nobody wants to talk about the fact that there are more people held in slavery today than in the entire 400 history, 400 years. 400 year history of the slave trade. Four hundred years of slavery. There are more held today in slavery than over that entire period. Why aren't we talking about that?
Starting point is 00:56:20 The reason is we don't talk about things that are important anymore. Don't you know that? That's why the media is not covering the colonial pipeline. They're not talking about the incredible attack on our infrastructure by Russians. Now, if Russia were a friend, I'll tell you this. If Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan were in office, we would be demanding that Putin would bring those people to justice. Can you imagine? You imagine if some group just attacked the infrastructure of Putin's oil regime. And they were Americans. And the American government said, we don't have anything to do with it.
Starting point is 00:57:08 I don't know anything about it. But they could prove it came from America. Do you think Putin would think that maybe we were involved and have some strong words for us? Because I know Ronald Reagan would have. I know Donald Trump would have. But the media has decided it's not important because the media is part of the destruction of America. And so is our educational system. So, Frederick, take solace in the fact that you have.
Starting point is 00:57:39 The first name that Frederick Douglass had, and Frederick Douglass was conned by people for a long time. He believed that the Constitution was a slave owner's paradise until he was asked, have you read it? When he read it, and then he read the Federalist Papers and he read the Declaration of Independence, he said, this is the greatest document of freedom. This is the greatest anti-slavery document ever written. You may not win with your friends. Don't try to win. Just try to be helpful.
Starting point is 00:58:24 But at the same time, Frederick, you might want to find some new friends. Let me tell you about Car Shield. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you don't own computer chip manufacturing plant. Because if you do, this commercial's not for you. based on the assumption that you don't own one, I'm going to further assume that you don't enjoy the prospect of having to pay thousands of dollars to replace one in your car, even if you can get one. This hasn't really hit yet, America.
Starting point is 00:58:55 It's about to. Your phones, your car, everything. They're not making computer chips. And Ford is saying we're not going to be able to fulfill production in this quarter. For a covered repair, man, you get one of those computer chips. before I had a three or $5,000 computer chip go down. A chip, a piece of plastic. That went down and it cost that much money.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Write my car off. But I didn't because I have CarShield. Car shield doesn't care about your car doesn't care about your savings. It doesn't cover it doesn't care about the computer chip shortage. When it goes, it goes. But Car Shield has me covered. And they can cover you as well. Call them right now, car shield.com.

Car shield.com code back deductible may apply. 10 seconds station. Welcome to the program. So riots in Jerusalem yesterday. Did you see that, did you see what? what happened yesterday in Jerusalem and the top Israeli diplomat in the United States,
Starting point is 01:00:28 he said yesterday the Western powers have inflamed the tensions in Jerusalem. You know, Stu, I mean, are we on the wrong side of everything now? Interesting wording. I thought what it inflamed Jerusalem were the rockets landing on it. That was kind of my thought about what was inflaming Jerusalem at this particular. moment. Right. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. We're not on the wrong side of everything. It's, it's just, you know, this is something we've had to deal with for a long time. And it's getting worse and worse and worse. It's, you know, this stuff is everywhere and you have to fight it off
Starting point is 01:01:07 everywhere. I mean, we were talked about the Disney thing yesterday where they're going through and teaching critical race theory and that like the colorblind society is a hateful relic of the past and asking for... How does that even make sense to anybody? How does a thinking human being actually make that work in their head? I don't know. I mean, the only thing is the sort of Ebram-Kendi construct of saying basically, you know, the only solution for past discrimination is current discrimination.
Starting point is 01:01:41 There is nothing you can do about the past. The past is gone. Tomorrow may never come. Let's concentrate on today. I mean, I mean, this is so easy to take apart. How does this stuff make sense to so many people? Are they just that dumb? I mean, I've met dumb people.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I have seen them in the parking lot of Walmart, and I have lived in New York City. So really, class doesn't make a difference. We are riddled with dumb people. And so maybe you just have to be that dumb. But just a few honest questions, tear all that apart, doesn't it? Yeah, but no one wants to act.
Starting point is 01:02:23 It's very difficult to get people in the mindset of wanting to ask or answer honest questions. It's very difficult. I mean, they just don't. The outdoor mask thing is a perfect example of it, right? There's never been evidence to support you should wear a mask outside, ever. I mean, it's never been a drop of evidence to say that that's a smart thing to do. Yet if you don't wear one in certain areas of this country, you will be harassed by people walking by you who will get in your face to explain to you why you're bad for doing that.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And while increasing the risk that there's actual transmission because they're in your face yelling at you. That's not sense. There's no science behind that. That's not common sense. That's just, I don't know if it's just tribalism or what it is. But it's not working. I think tribalism is a big part of it. It's not so much now, but it was under Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:03:16 you had to be against the vaccine. You had to be against everything that Donald Trump did, hydrochloroquine, all of it. And it was all tribalism. It had nothing to do with the truth. Now I just think those roles are set for everybody on COVID. And so you, I guess, self-select. However, I'm willing to look and live by the science, but I don't think the people in Washington are. Well, if you've been weeping tears of six,
Starting point is 01:03:48 sadness because you miss Shamani's Mother's Day sale. I have great news for you.

Starting point is 01:05:17 So glad that you have tuned us in today. It is Tuesday. The pipeline is still down. The White House has said that we should, that's a private sector thing. So whether they pay the ransom or not is really up to them. Okay. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Thank you for that help. Is that an issue to you? I mean, you don't think the government should have a little more guidance on. It is weird that like this is one of the things that happens often, not only by private companies, but also by, you know, city governments and state governments that they get hacked and they just live. literally just pay criminals to get their information back. What are we, what are we paying the federal government? Why are we paying taxes if they won't
Starting point is 01:06:00 protect us from outside forces? Isn't that their job? Seems like it to me. Protect us from outside forces. Yeah, it does to me. And we don't seem to take any of these things seriously after they happen. You know, you have hacks from sometimes state actors that we don't do anything about. I mean, we have a very serious possibility that a global pandemic was caused by a communist government and cover by the way of still still not unsealed the research files from right the Wuhan Institute of Virology so that people around the world can check them out and
Starting point is 01:06:32 see if maybe this was the cause still haven't done it or a year later still haven't done it no one seems to care no one seems to do much of anything about it and it's going to continue to happen unless we hold these people responsible we're busy working on equity right now that should we should be laser focused on equity that's what everybody is looking for yes not equality that's for sure I don't want equality I don't want equality I want equity which is something totally different and brand spanking new
Starting point is 01:07:00 in case you haven't been following this have you seen the Disney thing did you look into that at all Glenn over the past couple days I didn't look into it because it'll make my eyes bleed I know about it the Disney training but I did kind of make my eyes bleed I thought about you a little bit
Starting point is 01:07:13 and the eye bleeding here and I thought about how much to torture you over this because I know you you love and you hate Disney You have a love-hate relationship there. I love Walt Disney. I love what he stood for. I love what he built. I love how he built it.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I love the ideals, the original principles of Disney. I despise them now. Despise them. Well, this is going to help you probably down this road because they've started a brand new program for their employees. And it's called reimagined tomorrow. Because you're probably imagining tomorrow right. Now, as a white person, as like you are a racist and you don't like black people and you're hoping to go back to those good old days of slavery.
Starting point is 01:07:57 But what can Disney do to help me reimagine a place where white people are not in charge and where white people don't milk their advantage to keep people in chains? You know, I'm glad you asked that. And I'd like to get your reaction to some of these things, Glenn, to see how you feel about that. One module of the program is called allyship for race conscious. The company tells employees that they must take ownership of educating themselves about structural anti-black racism, and they should not rely on their black colleagues to educate them because it is emotionally taxing. Oh, I can imagine how emotionally taxing it is. White people are not emotionally taxed at all right now.
Starting point is 01:08:42 We are just living the sweet dream. And the document goes on to basically say, instead of, so you're not, we're supposed to have a conversation about race, right? That's what I was told. But not with people of color. But don't talk to people of color about their opinions on it because that is going to tax them emotionally. Instead, you should go, as the document advises, you should go talk to or go read things from black journalists and writers who can inform you about this, which again, to my eye, and I know as a man with white privilege, I don't have any role in this conversation. Sure. But to my eye, people. Making your journalists based on their skin color is racism.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Is it not? Excuse me. May I quote, ha ha, racist? Oh, yeah. It's a great cartoon. So thank you, yes. By the way, we should point out, this is from Christopher Rufo, who's done an incredible job.
Starting point is 01:09:37 I mean, one man wrecking crew. One man, it is. In destroying and exposing so many times in internal documents like this from schools and companies across the country. I think he's going to be joining us later this week to talk about this. Disney recommends that employees atone for their racism by challenging colorblind ideologies and rhetoric. I can't take it. Such as All Lives Matter.
Starting point is 01:10:06 I don't see color. And of course, white people must listen with empathy to black colleagues and not question or debate black colleagues' lived experience. Now, Glenn, correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm just thinking here for a second. First of all, I thought the utopian vision, utopian, we may never get there, but utopian vision of Martin Luther King was a colorblind society. So now that we must challenge colorblind ideologies and rhetoric, such as I don't see color. I mean, they are disclosing of Martin Luther King.
Starting point is 01:10:41 Yes, of course they are, because they believe the opposite of Martin Luther King. Because Martin Luther King was saying America, live up to your principal. and your values and your ideals. What they're saying now is all of those ideals, all of those principles are garbage. And the only way to fight racism is with racism. So two can play that game. That's what they're saying.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Two can play that game. And we're going to get the one up on you and we're going to crush you into the dirt. This is, you know, I'll show you this in action tomorrow, tomorrow night on our special. 9 o'clock, it happens. You can watch it a billion places, watch it at Blaze TV, watch it on YouTube. By the way, you're going to have to go seek it out on YouTube. Some reason or another, it's hard to find any of the videos of mine on YouTube being spread around anymore.
Starting point is 01:11:33 But you can just go to YouTube and watch it there for free. You can get it as a Blaze TV. But we're going to show you this happening in real time. They're just a little ahead of us, one country. And we'll show you the truth on that. By the way, Stu, I brought in the Disneyland Perspectus. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:51 So this is the actual prospectus that was typed out originally by Walt's secretary at his dictation over a weekend. This is what he brought to the banks and said, uh, I want to build a theme park. Nobody knew what a theme park was. Uh, they turned him down. He was asking for $18 million to build Disneyland. Can you imagine that? This is the Disneyland story.
Starting point is 01:12:17 I want you to see, are they living up to any of these ideals? The idea of Disneyland is a simple one. It will be a place for people to find happiness and knowledge. Okay, you could say critical race theory in a very twisted, absolutely polar opposite of Walt Disney sort of way. You could say, oh, yeah, we're just giving knowledge, yes. It'll be a place for parents and children to share. pleasant times in one another's company, a place for teachers and pupils to discover greater ways of understanding and education. Here the older generation can recapture the nostalgia of the days
Starting point is 01:13:01 gone by, and the younger generation can savor the challenge of the future. Here will be the wonders of nature and man for all to see and understand. Disneyland will be based upon and dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, the hard facts that have created America. And it will be uniquely equipped to dramatize these dreams and facts and send them forth as a source of courage and inspiration to all the world. So if America was built on slavery, you better damn well tear Disney apart. Because it was dedicated to the ideals, the facts, and the dreams. that created America.
Starting point is 01:13:49 So if you're saying that's slavery, tear the damn park down and I will help you do it. Disneyland will be something of a fair, an exhibition, a playground, a community center, a museum of living facts, a showplace of beauty and magic. It will be filled with the accomplishments, the joys and hopes of the world we live in, and it will remind us and show us
Starting point is 01:14:15 how to make these wonders part of our own lives. that was Walt's dream. That's what he built. That's not what any Disney Park represents today. If they are teaching their people, they have already allowed people to grow their hair any way they want, mustache, you could have tattoos.
Starting point is 01:14:35 I know this seems like a really small thing, but why was Disneyland so successful? Why did Walt Disney build a berm, a wall around Disney? It wasn't just to keep people from sneaking into the park for free. Why did he build a giant berm around that whole thing? He built it so you could enter a fantasy world. You could enter a world where the current world of stress,
Starting point is 01:15:07 the current world of problems would disappear. So would Walt want people with tats on their face? No. Why? because people view tats different ways. He wanted everything as clean and as generic as possible with all of the employees. He wanted people to represent the best of mankind without any reminders of the outside world. You want to take your vacation at a place that you're already so concerned is going to bankrupt your family?
Starting point is 01:15:48 I mean, if you were the federal government, you'd be borrowing from your great-grandchildren to be able to go to Disney. You're already stressed out about that. You want to go into a place that now is preaching to you what you should be instead of the hard facts, the ideals and the principles of this country that created the greatest country, the greatest flash of freedom in all mankind?

So yesterday the Biden administration came out and said, you know, what they did with Johnson and Johnson and the vaccines, that actually helped the credibility of the vaccines. That didn't stop anybody from coming out and getting the vaccines.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Well, other than the fact that we can look at the numbers and almost to the day that you said, hey, Johnson and Johnson, there might be a bad situation here with Johnson and Johnson. All of a sudden, everybody just decides, yeah, I'm not going to go get a vaccine. Really? To clarify here, Glenn, you said almost to the day, it was to the day. the exact day this occurred. There's a massive drop-off from not only Johnson and Johnson, but of course, also Pfizer and Moderna,
Starting point is 01:19:01 and people not wanting to take it as much. Now, it started to just sort of pop back up in the last few days. So, you know, multiple weak area of declines in vaccinations, obviously based on the fact that they pulled one off the market for no reason and then put it back on the market with not even a warning. Mm-hmm. Incredible. So, Stu, I have a country that may, it may actually be worse than what our country is doing to get people vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:19:35 Okay. You know, our country just says, hey, there might be a real problem. You know, people might die from this. Oh, but go get the vaccine. And if you get the vaccine, you got to still wear masks and social distance and never see anyone ever again. I think this might be, I think this might actually be worse. In Romania, they have decided to, that one of the health clinics, you know, they need the space to vaccinate people. So one of the health clinics is going to be Brand Castle.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Hmm? Brand Castle. You don't know what Brown Castle. Let me see if I get. Romania. Romania. What did it used to be called? Oh, Transylvania. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Yeah. Brand's castle known as Dracula's Castle. So kids, all we want you to do is go up a hill and go into castle and they stick you with needles. Oh, no, no, no. Apparently tourists think it's cool. I guess you get a T-shirt. I got, you know, I got vaccinated at Dracula's Castle. I kind of want that T-shirt. I don't know why. I do. I do kind of want the T-shirt. I do. I do kind of want the T-shirt. I do. I got vaccinated at Dracula's Castle. What'd you do with your weekend? Nothing.
Starting point is 01:20:55 It's almost worth flying over because the airline tickets have got to be cheap. They're always cheap inbound to Romania. But now is maybe even more. So you got that. Either that or you can go to Bucharest and get it at the National Library. Oh, you got to go to the Dracula Castle. You got to go to Dracula's Castle. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:19 I'm not going in. across the street to get it at the library. Are you sure you're supposed to be injecting that into my neck? Why would you be, I don't understand. I thought I was an arm shot. Why are there two needles going into my neck? And why is your head so close to me? All right.

Alcatraz Penitentiary, 945 a.m. Al Capone has let his guard down. It shortly after breakfast, as the man nicknamed Scarface, works his shift, mopping the prison shower room.
Starting point is 01:26:01 This guy once wore expensive suits and diamonds, but now displays the standard Alcatraz uniform of a blue chambray shirt, trousers, belt, and shoes. Capone is 37. He's the former head of a notorious Chicago crime syndicate that earned profits of more than $100 million annually. That's about $18 billion in modern currency. He lived without fear of arrest. He paid off the judges, police, and politicians to ensure his freedom. And while he was once the most feared mob boss in America,
Starting point is 01:26:38 reputed to have killed more than 30 human beings, he's now just another inmate in this escape-proof prison on a windy island in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Capone knows he has enemies here at Alcatraz. He has a reputation among the inmates for seeking special treatment from the warden. The warden is James Johnston, who has famously declared that his prisoners are entitled to food,
Starting point is 01:27:02 clothing, shelter, and medical attention. Anything else you get is a privilege. It's known as rule number five in the inmate regulation handbook. It's the reason Warden Johnston constantly denies Capone's favors. But that doesn't stop Capone from trying. In one instance, he attempts to avoid the way to the prison barbershop. Get to the back of the line, you bum, says a fellow inmate James Lucas, a 22-year-old Texan, known as a chronic hothead. Do you know who I am, punk? Snarls, Capone. Lucas grabs a pair of barbershears and presses the blade into Capone's jugular.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Yeah, I know who you are, greaseball. And if you don't get to the back of the line, I'm going to know who you were. That's just the beginning of Chapter 5 of Bill O'Reilly's new book called Killing the Mob. And Bill joins us now. Hi, Bill. How are you? Excellent read back. Very good. I was riveted. I wrote it and I was riveted when you were reading it.
Starting point is 01:28:10 Thank you very much. Tell the rest of the story because it's fascinating. He leaves the barbershop and what happens to him? Well, I get to speed up. The shears to his neck is after him. And he meets him in the shower with a razor and slices him pretty badly. And then Capone, that's it for his life. He deteriorates physically and mentally, gets out of Alcatraz, goes to Miami, and dies in his early 40s, which is justice because what a horrible, horrible human being he is. But the reason that we've highlighted Capone in killing the mob is he's the template for organized crime today. So what he did was he elevated.
Starting point is 01:29:02 we opened with Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, all those people, but he elevated criminality to an organized level in Chicago, and as you pointed out, took over everything. I mean, he bought the governor and the mayor, and, you know, he'd do whatever he wanted to do. And then once that was successful in the money, as you pointed out, billions of dollars in bootleg alcohol in today's prices, once that was proven to be successful,
Starting point is 01:29:30 then that's how the organized crime, grew in that template to organize, to come into cities, New York, Chicago, L.A., Philadelphia, Boston, buy up everybody, bribe everybody, and take over the rackets. Prohibition was repealed. Then they went in heavy to gambling, extortion, prostitution, vice, and the unions. So that's how it all evolved. And Al Capone, a famous name, but boy, what awful. Why did Elliot Ness go in? If anybody saw the movie, The Untouchables, it's just a great movie with Sean Conner and Kevin Costner.
Starting point is 01:30:13 But it's clear that in Chicago, everybody has been paid off. Why was it that Hoover didn't go after and use the FBI to go after these guys? Hoover took over the FBI in the 30s and assassinated literally. the FBI assassinated all the bank robbers. It wasn't like come out with your hands up. It was the FBI catches you, they can pull a bullet right between your eyes. And that's what happened to all of them.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, pretty boy Floyd, baby Faith Nelson. Hoover was in charge of that. But then when it came to the Italian mobsters, Diego would not investigate, would not put the FBI on their trail. Lucky Luciano, the first godfather, in New York. His private papers say, we have them. They mob had something on Hoover, but doesn't say what.
Starting point is 01:31:09 Now, everybody knew Jaeger Hoover, loved the ponies, he was a gambler, and he was gay. And so I do believe that the mob had something on Hoover, and that's why he didn't investigate. So with Al Capone so out of control, Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew that and was embarrassed that the federal government. government couldn't control this guy. So he sent in the Treasury Department, that's Elliot Ness. That's the untouchables, and I got Capone on income tax evasion. Which was not the, was that the plan originally? The movie he shows that that's... The order to Elliot Ness was get him on anything, you can get him on. Okay. Get him on anything. All right. I mean, so the guy files an income tax. Capone files his income tax as he made $3,000
Starting point is 01:31:55 a year, and he's right around in the best, you know, come on. Right. So, and that's what that's what the drug people do today. But here's the ironic part about all this. So Capone goes down, and then there's a TV show, The Untouchables. That was, do you remember that back, or were you too young for that? Oh, I do. I do. I do remember it. I remember it in a reruns back. Robert Stack plays Elliot Nass, and that's a Kevin Costor part of a movie. All right, so it's the same thing. The Untouchables, go after Elliot, go after Al Capone, get them. And then the series is all Italian bad gangsters.
Starting point is 01:32:30 Well, the real gangster, the Godfather of Chicago, Sam Giancana, did not like that TV show in the 50s. The producer of the show was Desi Arnaz. Luce! I love Lucy. He produced it. All right? So Giancana hand delivers a letter to Desi Annas says, hey, knock off the Italians, make the bad guys other ethnicities. where as writes a wise guy note back the same Giancana saying,
Starting point is 01:33:01 what do you want me to make him Jews? That day, Giancana takes a contract out on Desi Arnaz and hires the assassin. We have it all in killing the mob. And I'm going to tell you anymore because I want people to read a book, but Desi Annas came with this close to having a bullet in the back of his head. I mean, is that powerful the mob was. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:23 And Desi Arnaz was a very powerful person in television. people just think of him as, you know, Lucy's husband on I Love Lucy. He was the secret behind Lucille Ball's success. He, I mean, it was he and Lucy through Desi Lou that did Star Trek and the Untouchables and a million other shows that people know. And Arnese thought that he was, that he was invulnerable because he was so powerful, as you point out. Correct. But what Arnaz did not know. was that the mob controlled much of Hollywood
Starting point is 01:33:59 through a guy named Sidney Corshack, who was not a mobster, he was a lawyer. And the movies that we all saw in the 50s and 60s, a lot of the TV shows, they were all paying organized crime money to produce the shows because the organized crime control the unions, the cameramen, the lighting, the sound,
Starting point is 01:34:24 and they could shut down a production in 10, minutes. And nobody knew it. Americans didn't know that the mob was controlling the film industry, and the mob could walk in and say, we want you to put this guy in that part, and we're going to take 15% of your gross. They did it all the time. So who are the ones that really clean this up? You had Elliot Ness. What happened to him after Capone? He committed suicide. Uh-huh. In Pennsylvania. Do we believe it was suicide? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:02 Yeah. He, that was the apex of his career, and then he retired and just didn't have a very good life and took his own life. Wow. Gosh, that's sad. And then who was the... Go ahead. Go ahead. No, I guess I can think of three names.
Starting point is 01:35:21 I can think of Elliot Ness. I can think of RFCK, and I can think of Rudy Giuliani as the three guys that just were relentless. Were there more? No, because it had to be very, very centralized. Organized crime was so powerful in this country between 1946 and 62. They controlled everything. And is that because of the unions?
Starting point is 01:35:49 Yeah. And that's what the base, the power base was the unions. To this day, organized crime in New York, where I am, controls, many of the unions. And I have a thing in the United States of Trump where Trump and I are discussing if you want to build a building in New York, you've got to deal with the mob now, today, this very moment.
Starting point is 01:36:10 Oh, yeah. And we name all the names and all that. Bobby Kennedy is the hero of the book because Bobby Kennedy came as Attorney General, defied his own father, who had mob ties, Joseph Kennedy. His brother was kind of Prentice Pilot, agnostic about it.
Starting point is 01:36:26 And Bobby Kennedy went after the mob. with a ferocity never before seen at the federal level and did them huge damage. And then what he did led to Rudy Giuliani on the RICO statutes and new federal laws. And Giuliani hurt the mob bad in New York as a U.S. attorney in the Southern District. Hang on just a second. Let's pick it up at RFK here when we come back. We're talking to Bill O'Reilly about his new book. It is out today.
Starting point is 01:36:52 You can get a copy wherever. It is wildly successful already. 100,000 copies in five days leading up to the release of the book. Bill O'Reilly, killing the mob. More in just a second. Let me tell you about AMAC. Our greatest strength as Americans and as people lie in the bonds that we form with individuals and organizations around us.
Starting point is 01:37:16 We rise above things that life throws at us by standing with others like ourselves, drawing strength from one another. That's why I'm proud to tell you about AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. It's a membership group for people aged 50 and older, and it's now over 2 million members strong, and it's growing. Now, it has all of the discounts and travel stuff and everything else you might need that you would get from another senior group.

They've been pushing for years against the, the left's agenda. These are small government guys.

Starting point is 01:38:48 We're with Bill O'Reilly. His new book is out today. It's called Killing the Mobb Bill. The Kennedys, we know that Joseph Kennedy was a bootleger and involved with a mob. We know that the mob in Chicago was involved with funny business, if you will, on the election of 1960 that got John Kennedy into office. And we also know that he hung out with all the people that you would associate in popular culture, Frank Sinatra, et cetera, with the mob.
Starting point is 01:39:23 Why was his brother so anti-mob when the family had benefited from the mob and Jack was kind of living up the life with possibly the mob, at least in my opinion, you would know best. Excellent questions. Let's just start from the beginning. Joseph Kennedy, the patriarch of the Kennedy family. He was a powerful man. He was the U.S. ambassador to London before World War II. This was a very powerful, powerful person. He didn't bootleg. He didn't actually, he wasn't in the Capone business. But he did have and hold contracts to distribute wine for communion, Holy Communion. Okay. He was the one during prohibition that supplied the wine to the tens of thousands of Catholic churches in America. And you can imagine how lucrative that contract was. So that's how it got into he was a bootleger. He was not.
Starting point is 01:40:32 He was a shrewd businessman, all right? He also was a big Hollywood guy. running around with all the stars like Gloria Swanson and things like that. So he really, he really wanted to be president himself, but he kind of screwed that up when he was the ambassador of London, right? Yes, he was pro, not pro-Nazi, but he was soft on him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:56 So, anyway, the godfather of Chicago were friends. They would dine out in public. Then he went down the fountain blue to see Jancona, who owned a piece of that hotel, Miami. Beach. So the deal, as you accurately said, was that G. and Kna would deliver Illinois to JFK in the 1960 election, which G. Nekana did.
Starting point is 01:41:25 Richard Nixon knew it was a fraud, but Nixon never said a word, which leads to speculation about what they had on Nixon. Anyway, when JFK was elected president, the mob celebrated. they were so happy because now we have the presidency now we run it okay so Kennedy appoints his brother
Starting point is 01:41:52 Bobby as attorney general and Bobby goes after the mob with a ferocity never before seen in this country why did he do it his father was pounding him JFK didn't like it he goes Bobby can you just pull back a little Bobby
Starting point is 01:42:08 says no I'm going after Hoffa, I'm going after Giancona, I'm going after everybody. Where did this come from? My opinion of Bobby Kennedy is he was the only really good Kennedy that was actually trying, he believed
Starting point is 01:42:24 in something, and he was fighting for the right. What else is the answer besides that? Well, he was driven. Bobby Kennedy was driven. So I spent some time with Robert Kennedy Jr. Because I asked the same question that you asked, and I had no answer.
Starting point is 01:42:40 and we don't DeGuard and I don't depend on what other people have written that's why these killing books are so successful it's all fresh material so Bobby Kennedy Jr. told me in a roundabout way not in a direct way that his father
Starting point is 01:42:59 felt slighted by his grandfather because his grandfather clearly favored Joe Kennedy who was killed in World War II and the president J.F. where Bobby was kind of the outlier along with Teddy. Teddy was considered kind of the dunderhead of the crew.
Starting point is 01:43:19 Bobby was smart, but he didn't get a lot of attention. So the theory, and I believe it, is this little payback to dad from Bobby. That's quite the payback. Quite to payback. Well, you have to understand one thing. that Bobby Kennedy went in hating corruption. All right? He just couldn't abide it.
Starting point is 01:43:49 And there was so much corruption. But what Bobby didn't know is that Sam Giancona's mistress, Judith Exner, was also his brother's mistress, JFK. That fouled everything up. All right, we're going to get into that here. and just in a second. More with Bill O'Reilly. The name of the book is Killing the Mob. It's the latest in his series.

Starting point is 01:45:59 We're with Bill O'Reilly. His new book is out today, killing the mob. I highly recommend and urge you to buy it. It's a great read, really great read. Bill, we were talking about RFK and him going after the mob. Is this the closest we have? come since the 1930s of actually ridding ourselves of the mob? I mean, how much did he reduce it? About 50%. He caused the mob to basically restructure how it does business. And remind me to tell you
Starting point is 01:46:37 why the mob loves Joe Biden before we depart. Okay. So he reduced it by 50%. How did he do it? And why wasn't he killed by the mob. Okay, so by exposing Jimmy Hoffa as a mob stoop and showing how organized crime used the billions of dollars in union pension funds to bill Las Vegas and do other criminal activities, the secrecy of organized crime was exposed. Soon after that, Congress passed new laws called the RICO laws, which made it easier for the federal government to spy on the mob. For example, John Gotti, the last of the flamboyant dons, hung out in the Bergen, Fish, and Hunt Club in Queens. Well, the mob wired that place, picked up all the conversations with Gotti and his mob friends, and Gotti wound up in an Illinois federal penitentiary where he died.
Starting point is 01:47:46 You mean the FBI wired the place? Yeah. Yes. The Fed, well, it was under the direction of the U.S. attorney in New York, so it could have been somebody else, but we assume it was the FBI. But anyway, that all happened because Bobby Kennedy exposed the evil that was consuming America driven by organized crime. And remember, before 1958, when the mob controlled Cuba, They bought Batista, the dictator there, and they were building Las Vegas. Bugsy Siegel, LaFomingo Hotel was the first one.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Before that, the mob didn't do narcotics. All right? But Vito Genovese, probably the most evil human being ever to walk the ground in the United States. Wow. He was able to go up against Luciano, lucky Luciano the first godfather. And then they started the narcotics traffic, which has led to millions of deaths and ruined lives in the United States. Why do you say he was the most evil?
Starting point is 01:48:55 I mean, you're in quite, quite the evil company. How do you become? I mean, you've got to really go. I mean, it's like evaluating the Nazis. Who is the worst? All right. I did that in killing the SS. But Vito Genevice, he was the driver of the mob taking over the narcotics traffic.
Starting point is 01:49:19 And to this day, 80% of the drugs sold in the United States come from organized crime. And the opioid stuff and all that, that's the mob. So anyway, Bobby Kennedy's exposure of Hafa, and we take you through Haffa's assassination, minute by minute. I think there's the first time it's ever been done, basically put the pressure on a federal government to go after organized crime. but there has not been one president that has really devoted time to this issue. Not one. But the favorite president of organized crime of all time is Joe Biden. You want to know why?
Starting point is 01:50:05 I do know why, but go ahead. All right, Beck. So in 107 days, since Biden has dropped all of the Trump border policies, 400,000 plus foreign nationals have come to the United States. 400,000 people, many of them children. That means the border patrol and all the feds down there have to tend to those people, feed them, house them, process them, put them on buses wherever they want to go. What has suffered is drug interdiction.
Starting point is 01:50:42 They've stripped that and they're using that to process the migrants. So at this time in history, as we are talking on Tuesday, the 11th of May, more narcotics are in the United States of America than ever before. And the mob controls the distribution of drugs all over the country. They don't sell them anymore on the street. That doesn't happen. They franchise that out to the gangs. And the gangs are the ones committing all the homicides in Chicago, New York, L.A., U.S. town near you. Those drug gangs are who's killing to everybody. The mob does not sell the drugs.
Starting point is 01:51:24 It allows those people to do it in return for a massive payment every month to whatever family is controlling that area. They love Biden because Biden has clueless has no idea this is happening. And we did a search on Bill O'Reilly.com. I have very good investigators to try to find one article, one report that has told the American people what I just told you back. There has not been one, not one. And that's just stunning. Anyway, Biden carried the mob, I think, 80 to 20 or one in the last election. So wait, so wait.
Starting point is 01:52:07 But they also, are they still as deeply involved in the labor union? as they were, because he has revitalized the labor unions and has made all kinds of promises. Are they still in the business of labor unions? Depends where you are. So in the United States of Trump, I've got a chapter where Donald Trump tells me, as a builder in New York, he dealt directly with organized crime because if he didn't, he couldn't get his buildings put up because the concrete union is controlled by the mob out of Staten Island. And Trump was very candid about it.
Starting point is 01:52:43 Because I have those guys in my office and then we make the deal and that's who does it. So it depends where you are. Okay. But the labor unions traditionally have allowed gangsters, mobsters, to dip into the pension funds, get loans that are, of course, interest-free to finance whatever activity the mob wants to finance. That's what Hoffa did. One last question before we go, Bill. I know you covered this in killing JFK, but why did the mob, were they involved at all?
Starting point is 01:53:19 I mean, the rumors are always been, well, you know, Kennedy and Kennedy was killed by the Cubans and the mob. It was, you know, RFK, you know, that was a setup by the mob. It makes sense because of, you know, cutting into their business by 50%. Were they involved at all? No, because it doesn't make. sense from a business point of view. So if you read Kling Kennedy, that is what happened to JFK. Do you want to know what happened? Read killing Kennedy, we document the whole thing. Now, the mob wanted to kill JFK and RFK. They wanted to assassinate them, but the family dons,
Starting point is 01:54:04 the guys in charge, knew if they ordered to hit, it would get out. And then what was would happen, then the full way to the federal government would be war, almost like a declared war on organized crime. Their business would be wiped off the face of the earth. So they did not do it in either a case, in either assassination. What they did do, Beck, is have Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated. And we write about that in killing the mob. So Jack Ruby was a low-level mobster in Dallas, the carousel club. Okay? He had terminal cancer. He knew he was going to die
Starting point is 01:54:47 in a month. He killed Lee Harvey Oswald. There has never been a reason stated. Okay? Why did Ruby do that? Some people say, oh, he loved JFK so much. He just wanted revenge.
Starting point is 01:55:03 That's bull. All right? Ruby walked into a well-guarded, well-secured court house. Yep. and pulled his gun and shot him from 10 feet away. He did it because Oswald was signaling that he was a patsy. Remember that? I'm a patsy. Okay? Oswald said that.
Starting point is 01:55:24 And when he was walking and the cameras picked it up. What Marcello in New Orleans was really running Ruby, he was the godfather of New Orleans, Carlos Marcello. Okay. What he feared was that Oswald, Wall was going to blame the assassination on him and organized crime. Oswald was going to say, they paid me to do it. They made me do it.
Starting point is 01:55:51 And that's why Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald. And that's the first time that that's ever been put out there. We have it in killing the mob. We run it down, and that's what happened. I do have one more question. I know I said it was going to be the last question. You can have one more question. Isn't this the most fun you've had in months?
Starting point is 01:56:10 Now, it's just easy. Here's the question. You know, Bonnie and Clyde, they were, by the way, because I'm a Texan now, I know this. Bonnie and Clyde were killed by the Rangers, not the FBI. But. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The FBI provided all the intel. Okay.
Starting point is 01:56:33 It was the Rangers that killed them. Anyway, when you have, back in those days, some of these guys were beloved. Some of them were not. But there's always been this love, hate relationship. And, you know, kind of this Robin Hood kind of thing or romanticizing of all of this. And then when the FBI comes, and there's no trial for any of these, they just shoot them all. They assassinate.
Starting point is 01:57:04 Right. For Americans to live with that shows that Americans, had had enough. So what is the truth there? Were we romanticizing them just for a while and then we were sick of it or what happened? Okay. What do I have? Two minutes? Yes.
Starting point is 01:57:22 Okay. Less than. Americans hated the banks. Depression. Banks are throwing people out of their homes, foreclosing on farms, hated them. Bank robbers come in. The folks were helping the bank robbers. The press got onto it, made
Starting point is 01:57:38 the bank robbers Robin Hood, just like they did with Jesse James and Billy the Kid. Same thing. That sells papers. Okay? Fast forward to modern times. The Godfather. Bonnie and Clyde the movie, Beatty and Donaway, the Sopranos, all of that. These actors
Starting point is 01:57:54 are so powerful, so brilliant, so good that even though they're doing bad things in the movies and TV shows, they're sympathetic figures. Killing the mob tells you the facts about it. All of these people. Bonnie and Clyde were the worst.
Starting point is 01:58:10 They would put a bullet between a child's eyes if that child was inhibiting whatever they wanted to do. All right. And that is the value of killing the mob, the book. It's the truth for 300 pages about how one of the most evil institutions and to this. Killing the mob, I will tell you that it is a book you're not going to have an easy time putting down. It's really well written. It is, I mean, especially if you're a guy. I mean, if you're a guy mob and Nazis, I could watch documentaries and read books about them forever.
Starting point is 01:58:53 This is really well done. Bill O'Reilly, thank you. We'll talk to you Friday. All right, Beck. Thanks for having me, and I really appreciate it. You bet. So I have to tell you, earlier this broadcast, we talked a little bit about the transitory hyperinflation and what is being done on all fronts. It is really something that I hope I am wrong.
Starting point is 01:59:19 I hope that the Federal Reserve is right, that this is transitory hyperinflation. This is going to go away quickly. I don't think I am. And if you've listened to the program lately, I don't think you think I'm wrong either. The dollar is in serious trouble. And if you are not prepared when the hammer come down, you can lose a lot. Not just through inflation. but when we switch over to another currency, let's say we have digital U.S. dollars, they're going to offer you, they're not going to give you one to one.
Starting point is 01:59:52 They're going to offer you an amount of money for whatever you have in the bank and whatever you have in dollars. And then after that, they say those dollars are worthless. Get something of intrinsic value, and that is gold. Goldline is offering their special on graded Liberty, $5 coins.

Starting point is 02:01:07 I need to restore the natural order of things. I don't want to live in a world where liberal are the uptight ones, and conservatives do drugs and get laid. Once upon a time, the right were the ones offended by everything. They were the party of speech codes and blacklists and moral panics
Starting point is 02:01:33 and demanding some TV show had to go. Well, now that's us. We're the fun suckers now. We suck the fun out of everything. Halloween, the Oscars, childhood, Twitter, comedy. It's like woke kids on campus decided to be all the worst parts
Starting point is 02:01:50 of a Southern Baptist. And that's wrong, because it's cultural appropriation. If Democrats had always policed morality as hard as they do now, they would be down a lot of heroes. Bill Maher, who is
Starting point is 02:02:14 seemingly one of the only people on the left calling out the crazy, woke nonsense coming from the Democrats in the left right now. And one of the points he makes there is really important. It's not only wrong, it's not only oftentimes racist, and all this nonsense that goes along with wokeism,
Starting point is 02:02:31 it also makes for a really boring world, a world where you can never say anything and no one is entertaining and no one is interesting because they're all bland, woke dullards. And that might be the biggest offense of them all.
