Transcript

[Glenn Beck]

If Donald Trump is not replaced by a guy who thinks like Donald Trump, we're not in for good times. The story matters. And so the progressives cut that out.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They don't care.

[Glenn Beck]

They don't care. The Democrats are just beginning to wake up now going, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is starting to look scary. If you're on the other side, they won't even talk to you anymore. If you chase the rich out, who's going to pay for that?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to another we'll do it live broadcast. Now. Today we have a, an interesting guest and his name is Glenn Beck. You know him, he has a dopey hat on. Don't hold that against him. What happened was 250.

[Glenn Beck]

250. America's 250.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, our hat's a thousand times better than yours. So he was in 7:11. It's not my hat. Some kid was giving him a hard time. He just grabbed a hat and now he's wearing it for us. Anyway, Beck, thank you for helping us out. We know you're really busy and mega success.

[Glenn Beck]

Well, it's good to see that. Good to see that you've mellowed some, Bill. You're not as cantankerous as you used to be. You're still that nice, lovable self.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We can, we can, Lovable guy. We can go into the Cantagris mode and we might get there during this long.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, we're not there yet.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Give me a little time, Beck. I just started with you.

[Glenn Beck]

Okay. All right, good. All right, good.

[Bill O'Reilly]

So the communism thing, you moved out of New York City had to be nine, ten years ago.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But you were living in Connecticut and you were here, and you basically said, enough of New York. I'm going to go down to Texas and the Far West. Why did you make that decision?

[Glenn Beck]

Because I saw where it was going. A, it was just in inhospitable to me and my family. I mean, you know, I don't know if you remember this, Bill, but there was a, an event. It was a movie in the park. And my family and I went and by the time the movie was over, I think I had six security agents on me. They had thrown wine at my wife, thrown things at my children, chanted at them. My children were genuinely afraid to be there. And I just said, this is not, I mean, I would never do that to the person that I thought was wrong politically or I despised politically. I never would have treated anybody like that. And then on top of it, you could see the direction that the city was going, I'm, I'm saddened to see it strangely go towards Islamists and socialism. But that, you know, that's the way it happened in, in Iran in 1979. And if we don't wake up, that's exactly the way it's going to happen in many of our cities here in America.

[Bill O'Reilly]

You know, I don't know if the American people are going to buy the radicalism of New York City, because it's a completely unique place here. So you're right, in a sense that de Blasio was a signal holder. He was the mayor for two terms and he was a communist. And when I say that, I mean that they don't believe in private property. They don't respect people who are successful. They want the government to run the means of production, which means housing and food and everything else. It's a classic Marxist play. Now, why do you think, though, in this eight and a half million city, why would people go, wait? I don't want the government telling me how to live and what to do and capping my potential. I really want what made America great competition.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think I, I, I have to tell you, Bill, there's a, there's a couple of things. First of all, you're going to lose all of those people, as you know. I mean, Dallas, Texas is going to be the home of the stock market. I'm convinced they're serious about it. And when it's weakened enough, it will become the home of the stock market. Florida is becoming the home of, you know, all New Yorkers that have been disenfranchised with what's going on. So you're going to learn you're going to lose all of the people that can pay your tax bill, and it's just going to go into worse and worse squalor. But as I was in New York, it is such a weird island. It seems like the center of the world. You are just one of 8 million living on top of each other. And it doesn't reflect the rest of America. I mean, I think the easiest place to make socialism work in mess in message, not actually work, but work in message, is a city like New York where, I mean, you've been trained. I remember living in New York and paying such high taxes. And I'm a guy who's, I'm not a socialist. I don't want the government. I, I believe if we want the government to do less, we have to do more. And I'm walking into my office on 6th Avenue. And it's just newspapers and garbage blowing everywhere. In any other city, I would have picked up that newspaper and I would have thrown it in the garbage. But I caught myself saying, how much money do I have to pay this stupid city for them to keep the streets clean? And that's when I first realized, oh my gosh, I'm changing. I got to get out of here. Because I'm not seeing myself as responsible. I'm seeing myself as paying the city to do it. And I don't want to live like that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Los Angeles is headed in that direction. San Francisco already there. Chicago is a different situation because of the gangs and the violence that has overridden any kind of political thing. And I do believe that I did not call it. I wrote a book called culture warrior about 12, 13 years ago where I predicted most of what would happen. But I didn't call this. And the reason I didn't call it was because I don't believe that after all that we've been through, it's 250 birthday for the USA, that there are people who don't understand the country, the rhythms of the country, the vibrance of the country, the opportunity. Now the people in Guatemala understand it because they're hacking through the jungle to get here. They got it. But we have a class of people who don't get it. They don't want to get it.

[Glenn Beck]

Bill, I've, I've, I've, I've been to your house before. You weren't there. I was stealing. It was at night. But I've been at your house before and I know that you, you collect history like I collect history. You know the story of America. Most Americans don't know the story anymore. They have no idea what the story is. You ask.

[Bill O'Reilly]

They don't care. They don't care.

[Glenn Beck]

They don't care. And, and human beings are story driven. If you don't know where you came from, you don't know where you're going. The story matters. And so the progressives cut that out. They knew in 1920, when they started after Woodrow Wilson, they knew we have to destroy the Declaration of Independence. We have to destroy the image of George Washington and our founders. And that was their first attempt. Those are the first two targets. And they went in, they changed our history books and they changed everything and started having us memorize dates and names to make history boring as snot. I mean, I know you were a history teacher. You, I, I can imagine your history that you taught was exciting and dynamic. You told the story that's not happening anymore. It's. It's beginning to happen again with homeschooling. It's beginning to happen again in some schools across the country, but mainly in red states. They're destroying our story, and that's critical to destroy a nation.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yet there was a tremendous backlash against communism after 1945 and the Cold War began. So there were McCarthy, the senator from Wisconsin. People were getting fired. They were hunting down people in Hollywood that espoused this progressive communist point of view. So it wasn't a clear line. There was resistance to this, but that resistance now seems to be evaporating.

[Glenn Beck]

So it. The progressives went. They changed from progressive because Woodrow Wilson scared the living daylights out of everybody. And so they changed from a progressive instead. They became liberal. They took that liberal chair away from the table and. But it was all progressives. The Republicans were doing the same thing, and they slowly bit at that apple. Then in the 1960s, when they had the cultural revolution of the 60s, they realized after they lost that because they were that, remember they were marching with you. You remember they were marching with posters of Mao and everything else. Think of the song Beatles revolution. And they want. There were the group of them that wanted that same kind of stuff. When they lost that, they realized they didn't have. They didn't have the boardroom, they really didn't have the education yet, and they needed those extra pieces. So they have been spending all of this time getting the boardroom, getting corporate, making sure they have all of the teachers and the, and the higher education institutions locked down. They thought they had everything. What they didn't have was the heart of red state America. And, and quite honestly, I think a lot of the people who were, who voted Democrat forever, who are now Trump supporters, who are now people who have always voted for Democrats, but they can't see them themselves as voting, you know, this week they came out 13 Democrats out of 257 in Congress. And not all 13 of these are actually in Congress yet they're running for Congress. Came out with a statement kind of like the Contract for America. Their promise to America that they're not communists, they're not socialists, they love America. They love, they love the free market system. And they came up, I think, with like, you know, 10 different points that sound like Ronald Reagan. I, I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that that is a legitimate move on their part, that that is heartfelt. I'm not sure, but I do think that Democrats are just beginning to wake up now going, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is starting to look scary. You said you weren't these kinds of people, and now we're seeing you really are.

[Bill O'Reilly]

See, I don't see that. I see more radicalism in the urban centers, not in rural.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I agree with you on that.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Okay, so disband the police. No border control, no immigration control. Let everybody vote. The big movement is now let everybody vote. Start in California. You know, basically dismantle it by sheer numbers of people who are disadvantaged or who are victimized. You know, the big victimization thing. And Obama was a flag waiver on that. Or is to this day, hey, you didn't do it. O'Reilly and Beck, you know, we did it and we just let you in the club, which is a bunch of bull. Now here's my next query. You and I are both media veterans. We know all the players. We've been to the highest part of the mountain, whatever it may be. The corporate media enables these progressives, okay?

[Glenn Beck]

They are these progressives, okay?

[Bill O'Reilly]

But let's just say this. You got a Disney corporation. The Disney Corporation runs amusement parks, everything, movies, you name it. Okay? Why would they want to dismantle a capitalistic system, okay, that brings them so much profit? I don't know. Why would you want to do that?

[Glenn Beck]

Disney, you know, I think you're seeing people like, what's his name, Wiener in San Francisco, who is a Democrat and, and huge lefty this weekend was shouted down and kicked out of the trans parade with true vitriolic hatred of him because he's Jewish and he won't, I guess, denounce enough of Israel even though he has denounced Israel. That's just not enough for them. So I think, just like politicians, Chuck Schumer is another one of them that got into bed with these people and thought, A, I can placate them or, or B, I agree with some of the stuff that they're saying, but I can co opt them and I can use them and I can bring them into my house, in my tent, and we can all play together nicely. Now they're in the position to, where Disney is, has been in this position for quite some time. They are. The, the, the, the inmates are running the asylum now. You can't get rid of that culture. That culture is the Disney culture. And what are you going to do? You'd have to shut the whole thing down and reboot.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But I don't understand how the board is happening. Okay, Board of directors Robert Iger is CEO. These people are making literally billions of dollars off entertainment. And they want to shut down the capitalistic apparatus. And they'll never admit it, but you don't parade out a View or a Jimmy Kimmel or even the Muir show, which has, you know, stacked with liberal Washington correspondence. Muir himself's a weatherman. But the whole structure is we don't like capitalism.

[Glenn Beck]

But, Bill, wait, how do you, let's just say, say you were the head of CNN and you had been there for the whole time and you had let this thing grow, and you now know there isn't. There's maybe five of us in this company, and we're at the top that, you know, actually believe differently than everybody else that's working here. And we also know everyone we're going to get to replace if we could hire them are coming from the same well. So it's the same philosophy that I'm going to replace him. What do you do? I think you stand and I was saying you personally, but I think these people are the kind of people that go, I'm just going to get mine. I'm just going to take my billions of dollars and I'm going to just check out when it's over. I don't care what happens in the future. I did my part. What else do you do? What would you do at cnn? How would you replace everybody?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Oh, I could do it, believe me, and it wouldn't be hard for me because I know what the, the deck is stacked. I know what they're doing.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. But look at, look at, at cbs, Barry Weiss, I mean, she's trying to do it, and she's having a hell of a time getting it done. Hell of a time.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But they haven't taken over completely yet. So once the new management comes in and they're friends of Trump, once they come in, Weiss's life is going to take a turn and it'll be a Custer's last stand in there. Everybody's going to go because they're not making the money that Disney makes. They're not doing well.

[Glenn Beck]

Are there enough people, though, in your opinion, that are coming up through the ranks that are actual journalists who have gone through journalism school and know what an actual journalist is supposed to be like. Are there enough of those?

[Bill O'Reilly]

Nobody has them. So what you have now is on every network, you have people who are just saying what they're told to say. That's what you have. There's no semblance of journalism other than the independent social media. And even there, you got to be very careful but every network, they are not people. People who go in like Mike Wallace or people like that, analyze the story, find out what the crux of the story is and how it applies to the American person. They don't do that. They're given a sheet of paper, okay? And they're saying, you do this and you can see that on the bookings. So all of the networks have Sunday morning shows. They don't book any meaningful people from the right ever. They just bring in the people who hate Trump. It's like a hate manifest.

[Glenn Beck]

And I know you are the same as I am. I would have booked people on the left all the time. I would have had people on the other. Yeah, I know, but you can't do that anymore. No one will come on if you're on the other side. They won't even talk to you anymore. So there's no but. That's the way it used to be.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But the rationale is like, he's so bad that we. Trump is so bad that we have got to counter him by doing foolish legislation like allowing foreign nationals to vote, like not having a border, like letting criminals out of jail because this guy is so bad. We have to counter that.

[Glenn Beck]

I don't think that that is what caused them to do it. I think it's what gave them permission to speed it up. I think this has been their plan the entire time. You know, they don't like America. They want to destroy America. So. But this gave them the rationalization to go after him.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Why are these progressives so anti American? We. What is it about our society that they don't like?

[Glenn Beck]

There is the actual progressive viewpoint, and I'm talking about the early 20th century progressive. The actual. Nobody's going to admit this kind of stuff, but what's in their. Their founding, in their history is a progressive is somebody who does not believe in the Constitution and in the Declaration of Independence, at least as written. And they don't like the idea that people can control their own lives. They believe, and I'm not assigning a nefarious feeling behind this, they just believe that experts are better equipped to tell everybody how to live their life. And the experts in the government should make the choice for everybody and narrow them down and nudge you into the right choices because they know better. So they don't like that. But beyond that, there are those now who have bought into every single negative about America without any kind of legwork on it, no history behind it. No, there's no reason behind a lot of this stuff. You can't reason with some of these people and say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You're right about slaves and the founding and all of that stuff. You're right about that. Now let's, let's go a little bit deeper. What about all the abolitionists? What about the fact that Gettysburg, we lost an entire Vietnam in the battle of Gettysburg, and those were mainly white people and half of them were fighting for the freedom of black people? Do you give any benefit of the doubt? How about the fact that we're the only country that stops slavery and fought that way, and we're the only country in the world that feels badly about slavery. You don't see Africa kicking themselves about selling slaves. You don't see anybody in Europe kicking themselves about buying slaves. We're the only ones. We're the only ones. They've just made this story into such a cartoon that for a lot of people, the only rational, reasonable thing, if you're getting only that part of the story, the only reasonable response is, I hate this country.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, they hate it because they feel that the oligarchs, as Bernie Sanders would put it, have exploited the masses, particularly minorities, and built their fortunes.

[Glenn Beck]

But Bill, how did that happen? How did that happen? Because this is one thing that I've really struggled with on capitalism is de Tocqueville was absolutely right in Democracy for America. In America. He said that eventually the rich and powerful will kick the door behind them so no one can follow the path that they did to become the rich and powerful. And that's what happened. And they did it through the power of government. They colluded with the government. So the only answer to this is not a bigger government. And it is to make sure that these corporations and these rich and powerful have no more of a say than the guy who's voting down the street. That's the way to fix it.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, Teddy Roosevelt fixed it in the sense that he knocked out the JP Morgans and Rockefellers and all of those people who were doing what you just described trying to make.

[Glenn Beck]

And then Wilson put them in, then Wilson put them in with the, with the Federal Reserve and codified it.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We're getting a little bit into the weeds. But there have been reformers like Theodore Roosevelt who saw that you can't have a country run by Putin esque oligarchs.

[Glenn Beck]

Correct.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And I don't see that, though, and maybe I'm blind to it, but I don't see that as a day to day factor in the lives of most Americans, most Americans work for companies. Companies supply them with a salary, with health benefits, whatever it may be. There's a structure and the companies provide through hard work of their employees, of course. Okay, A decent, decent, A standard of living that dwarfs most middle class countries around the world.

[Glenn Beck]

There are three categories that we don't talk about. And two of the three Eisenhower warned about. You have the educational industrial complex and that is almost an oligarch. I mean they, they are, it's not a single individual. It is a system that has so much money and they have so much control over our children. And, and the. In, in his farewell address, Eisenhower warned against this coming. He also warned about the military industrial complex, which I also think has too much power. But I would, I would also go with a pharmaceutical industrial complex. You know, look at what happened with COVID The, the things that I think people are seeing in their everyday life that they don't like is of Medicare and, or, I mean, sorry, medical care here, our health care is all screwed up. And why is that? Because the big pharmaceutical companies and the big insurance companies are all in bed with Washington and they've made this entire, all this laws, all these laws to benefit them and not the people. So I think you have a real, a real problem with that industry. You also, I think, have a real possible problem with the industrial, the, the military industrial complex. I mean, I, and I think people are seeing that or feeling that through these endless wars. I personally think that's coming more from the progressive State Department and some of our politicians. But I don't know what's the chicken and what's the egg here? Is it because we make so much money on those wars or it's because we want them and then they make so much money? I don't know.

[Bill O'Reilly]

But most of the wars that we engage in are good versus evil. And Iran's an evil country. I mean, let's face it. And they have killed millions and millions of innocent people and they will continue to kill them. And if they ever did get a nuclear weapon, they'd use a nuclear weapon to kill even more. So Trump understands that, tried to deal with them in a rational way, really tried to get some kind of control over this evil state. Trump never wanted to slaughter Persians in the desert ever. No, he wanted to make it so attractive for the mullahs that they would stop the madness. And they have not.

[Glenn Beck]

Right. I think this is proven that the crazies are in charge. So what does he do now, Bill? Because I don't know. What does he do?

[Bill O'Reilly]

He's got to do military action. However, I think at the last possible moment, the Mullers will sign the deal. They'll violate the deal down the road, but they'll sign it because they don't want to die themselves. Putin's in this category too. So you constrain Putin because you say to Putin you're going to die, and Putin doesn't want to die. Okay. But when you have a organization, which is what Iran is, that is going to say, kill the Jews. We're going to kill the Jews. We hate the Jews. We're like the Nazis. There's no difference between us. We're going to kill the Jews. I mean, and then you're sitting there going, well, how do we stop them from killing the Jews? There's only one way and that's force.

[Glenn Beck]

I think that Iran is the only example in modern day America that I can think of that is like the Nazi. You have to kill them all. You just have to kill all of the leadership of it. Those who are will be frightened by death, will give, and then you just need to have a trial and see who was serious and who wasn't. But you have to kill the entire leadership.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I think that that is on the way. But again, they are meeting and meeting and this. And we are close to the deal. I understand all that. Do you know anybody who hates Jews personally? Anybody?

[Glenn Beck]

I'm just trying to think. I'm trying to think of anybody on my outer circle because I don't know anybody in my inner circle. Sure. But I don't.

[Bill O'Reilly]

I live in, in New York. I live in the biggest Jewish community outside of Israel in the world. I don't know anybody who hates Jews. I mean, I'm looking to see.

[Glenn Beck]

It's incredible to me though, Bill, that we're getting a lot of people on our side now. And you know, when the ADL was calling me, you know, an anti Semite and everything else, it was because I was warning that this is coming. If you play footsie with it now, it will come. This is the way it always happens. Always. And what I didn't see coming is the right. I didn't see our side starting to say the same kind of stuff. I think there's a real evil that is growing within our own midst. It's worse on the left, but there are seeds of it in the right and we've got to stamp it out because that is the death knell. Once you turn against the Jews and you make it all the Jews fault and you got to round up the Jews because we got to kill them all. Once you do that, it's the end of your civilization.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Well, right. But I don't think that there is a drive in America to do that. I don't know. You know me, I'm not an ideologue. I don't follow this crazy stuff. Somebody's got a social media thing and they say something. I don't care what they say. If it rises, then I'll take them apart. But usually I just go, look, we all know what this person is. We know they're making money by being provocative. It lasts one day and then it's on to the next smear. But it's just an interesting fact that I was brought up in a neighborhood in Levittown on Long island where there are a lot of Jews and we didn't have any. There wasn't any strife among the children, you know.

[Glenn Beck]

But you. But look at the people that were the money behind Mamdani. They do look at the Islamists that are in New York.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Oh yeah, they do. No doubt about it. That wasn't a factor when I was growing up.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And it's really not much of a factor now. I just got back from London where I'm doing a special for News Nation about the collapse of the uk. And the collapse of the UK is directly. Okay, directly a Muslim intrusion.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Because they have let millions of Muslims into the uk. I don't know where they are. They don't know what they're doing. 60 Sharia courts in the UK. Crazy 6, 0. They handle civil stuff. But they still in the Justice Department. And you can see it. You can see it. You go up to everywhere road. They don't want you there. There are no police there. I had my crew there with security. But we get happy to get out of there and then we go over to the Jewish section that's scared to death. Now. That can't happen here because the numbers of Muslims here are very, very low. It could happen with another group. Okay, but not Muslims.

[Glenn Beck]

But I hope you're right.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Oh, it is not.

[Glenn Beck]

When the Muslims. When the Muslims will take their prayer rugs and pray in front of Jewish schools on the sidewalk, when you have all the mosques you need to pray inside. Why are you doing that? And the fact that the media doesn't ring the alarm, that only breeds more of it.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, well, the media is not going to do it because it would go against the progressive tenants and that.

[Glenn Beck]

That's where. That's how it started in London. It started in London. People are Just like ignore it, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. And they just kept leaving more and more people in now because of Donald Trump. We're not. But if Donald Trump is not replaced by a guy who thinks like Donald Trump, we're not in for good times. Bill.

[Bill O'Reilly]

No, look, but I don't think it's going to come from the Muslim world. The geography is too extensive. It'll come from other groups that like in California, I mean Ronald Reagan, two term governor and you know, you had Gray Davis, you had Arnold Schwarzenegger, you had all these people. And now you can't get one Republican elected in California because they've stacked beyond that.

[Glenn Beck]

You can't get an actual person that believes in the traditional American values elected very, very. I mean it's worse than not getting just a damn a Republican. You're getting socialists.

[Bill O'Reilly]

And the line that they use not only in San Francisco and la, but in New York City is you're a victim.

[Glenn Beck]

I think if we can get five more years after, there are four more years after this president's term expires, if we can keep this going for another five more years at this kind of speed, I think we have a chance of saving the nation. I think, you know, through divine providence. Our 250th anniversary is happening. People are engaging, some people are engaging back into the American story. We are doing a lot to revive, a lot to shore up, you know, traditional America. And if we can get back on our feet, we have a chance of surviving. I think if, if the Republicans screw this up or the Democrats somehow or another get the ride this socialist wave. I don't know if we make it again.

Are there any high profile Democrats that you feel are willing to fight the progressive Communists?

[Glenn Beck]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but John Fetterman.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Yeah, Fetterman, he's, I would say he's a libertarian. He's not a Democrat or a Republican.

[Glenn Beck]

Remember, he came in and he was, I mean, he had the label of Marxist on it. He loved Marxism and everything else. That wasn't, that wasn't true, or at least it's not true now. I mean, he's really shocked me and, you know, I, it'll be interesting to see if he is able to hold onto his seat in Pennsylvania. Yeah, if he is, that's really good news.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Is there anybody in the federal government now, in the Trump administration or in Congress that you feel sees the country clearly and is looking out for the folks?

[Glenn Beck]

I have to narrow things down because only in their, in their purview. I think Marco Rubio is doing an amazing job and sees it clearly. He sees the socialists to the communists or what it is. I think he sees the Islamist problem for what it is. He sees the Iranian problem for what it is. I think he's doing a great job on all of these things domestically. I, I, I think I like the vice president. I'm still out on this. I just want to watch him some more. But he's really good at vocalizing the things that need to be vocalized. I'd like to see what he's going to do on corruption. I was impressed with Tulsi Gabbard, what she did on her way out and what she was trying to do there. I thought she was in an impossible situation, but I think she was really good. I really like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I think, I think he's doing a great job.

[Bill O'Reilly]

What do you like about Kennedy?

[Glenn Beck]

I think Kennedy has been able to move things, for instance, the food pyramid. I mean, I think he's been able to move some things that seemed immovable, absolutely immovable. I like the fact that he's actually calling things out and saying, we have a problem. I'm not sure what the problem is, but we have to find the problem. I mean, it's clear. You know, when you go over to Europe, the food is just different. It really is different. And I've never noticed that until recently. The, the food is just cleaner and different, and you actually feel different after eating the food over in Europe for a while. I think we have a real problem with our food system that's not that complex. We just have to, we just have to say, stop putting so much crap in it. You Know, I never thought I would say, hey, we should follow Europe on a lot of things. And when it comes to our food and medicine, we should follow Europe. We should not, we should not be allowing so much stuff in our food. And I, I like the fact that he's moving that way, and I think he's doing it in a reasonable way,

[Bill O'Reilly]

but I don't know about reasonable. Kennedy's eating roadkill. Last time I saw him, he was scraping it up on a highway. I'm not sure that's gonna go. But sugar is killing Americans. And that should be a warning on every sugar product that, hey, think tobacco is bad. Hey, hello, diabetes. I know sugar is really. And with kids in between.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. And some of the, some of the things that we have done, you know, you got to remember it was John Rockefeller that actually helped put our healthcare system together. I mean, he really wrote the book on medicine in America. And so there's a lot of stuff that we did for petrochemicals that are not necessarily good. Petrochemicals brought us a lot of really good things. But I think we, we, we should re. Examine a lot of the stuff that we did in the 20th century. I mean, I'm, I'm very concerned about, you know, GMOs and everything else. I think those are not necessarily the right way to go.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Today Europe is, let's see, they may have good food back, but you don't want to live there because. No, I don't, because of the socialism. And what I found out when I went to London a few weeks ago was that all of these millions of Muslims and other immigrants from North Africa and the Middle east who came into England are initially prioritized for the national health care. So that means granny up in the Midlands who's got a condition and used to see her doctor, government doctor, every three weeks, now sees the government doctor every three months because the line in front of granny is so big she can't get in.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh, I gotta tell you, I was with Liz Truss when I was over in England a few months ago and Liz said, I just got back from England and she said Canada is worse off than England or Europe.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Canada is in real, real the national health care situation. Yep. So they have to come down to Tampa to get the knee replaced. Yeah, yeah. So that just shows you that it doesn't work, that if the government is going to run the means of production that does involve your health. Okay. You're not going to get what you think you're going to get, but it goes right over the head. Well, I'm going to get a free bus ride and my rent's going to be frozen for two years. And Mandani, who's going to pay that?

[Glenn Beck]

If you chase the rich out, who's going to pay for that? Mamdani, I think, had lived off his parents wealth forever. You've got a couple of, what was it? Somebody else that's a big socialist running a city that lived with their mother their whole life, never moved out of mom's house. I mean, they don't know how life

[Bill O'Reilly]

works, but it's the only explanation for them that are most accountable. Okay, so who's going to fix your water heater when it breaks? If all of the apartments in New York City are rent frozen, you think somebody's going to come with a little wrench and fix it for you, right?

[Glenn Beck]

They're not right Government will. I tell you, Bill, I am. I'd love to hear your opinion on this. You know when they say that women couldn't vote in America, they could vote. In the founding, the women voted. If you were a widow because you own the land, it was based on landowner. Do you have skin in the game? If you have skin in the game, you could vote. And I have to tell you, I think, you know, Franklin was right once. Once more. People are living off of the taxpayer instead of being the taxpayer. You're never gonna. You're never gonna get it back.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Decline.

[Glenn Beck]

Yeah, I. I mean, I really think that we should consider. If you're not a taxpayer, you. You don't vote. You're not allowed to vote.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Oh. Because I know they want to let people from Paraguay vote now. I know.

[Glenn Beck]

I know. I. But I think if you're. If you're only taking. Of course you're going to vote for more. Of course you are.

[Bill O'Reilly]

We all know that. And that was the open border scheme.

[Glenn Beck]

Yes.

[Bill O'Reilly]

That Biden put out there with his progressive cadre. And, you know, for four years, they loaded it up to 15 million, and now we got to deal with them. So we're going to take a break and then come back with our premium and concierge members. I'm not sure if Beck is one, but we have a better hat than Beck. So if you sign up for concierge membership, but you can buy Beck's hat, then you'll have an O'Reilly hat and a Beck's hat. Anyway, we're going to take a very, very short break, and we'll let the rest of you guys go live your lives. I think this was a very instructive discussion. And, you know, with O'Reilly and Beck together, that's pretty shocking that it was pretty instructive. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. We'll be back in a moment.
