GLENN: I mean, huge, massive corner. People just bowing down as this

gentleman walks through the hallway. "Could I get you something, sir? Do you

need anything? Do you need anything, sir? What can I do for you today, sir? You

are a god, sir." That's what is said to him, whispered in the hallways as this

man walks down the hallway. And yet he can't find his way down about a block to

these studios. He has somebody, an assistant most likely, an assistant to the

assistant dial the phone number so he can come on and speak. Ladies and

gentlemen, the one and only, the man, the man who has actually made two women on

The View walk off. He's a god among men.

O'REILLY: (Laughing).

GLENN: Bill O'Reilly. Hello, Bill.

O'REILLY: Finally got the intro right, through all this time.

GLENN: All right. So really people were high fiving you on The View?

O'REILLY: It's unbelievable. Not on The View.

GLENN: I mean, not on The View, yeah.

O'REILLY: I mean, I keep a low profile of my private life as you know, and I'm

walking around and going to my usual deli and this, that and the other thing.

And everywhere I go people are yelling out the windows, the cars and

GLENN: They really, they really think because I think that the audience was with

you.

O'REILLY: The audience

GLENN: In The View.

O'REILLY: in The View was with me.

GLENN: Yeah.

O'REILLY: Which was amazing. But outside I mean, my God.

GLENN: I know. But here they are in The View on The View, and the audience at

The View I believe was with Bill and they really, they just don't get it, do

they? They really don't get it?

O'REILLY: No, it's very you know, I knew when I went over there I'm writing a

newspaper column about them this week. You know, when I walked in and I've done

this show, I don't know, ten times before? I've been on there a lot over the

years because I'm friends with Barbara Walters. But I ran into Goldberg in the

GLENN: Me, too. Me, too.

O'REILLY: hallway. I get this dirty look from her, this strange kind of look.

And I went, uh oh. And I think that the genesis of this whole thing didn't

really have to do with the Muslim situation. It has to do with President Obama.

And they, Behar and Goldberg, are such zealots for the president. I mean, they

just love him. And they attribute his decline in popularity to guys like you and

me. Now, of course

PAT: I have nothing to do with it.

O'REILLY: Right but, you know, attributing to you would have some validity. But

me, I've been pretty benign about Obama although, you know, my new book,

Pinheads and Patriots, if you read the book, it really takes the Obama

administration apart for basically not being efficient and for making bad

decisions.

GLENN: Let's not let's not encourage people that have Marxist or nonfreedom

loving tendencies to become more efficient.

O'REILLY: No, but I stay out of that. I deal with the socialism business and I

actually mention your name a couple of times in Pinheads and Patriots, but I

largely stay out of that debate. Because it's been there, it's been declared.

People can make up their own mind. But what I get into very heavily in Pinheads

and Patriots

Glenn Beck is seen here on GlennBeck.TV, a feature available exclusively

to Glenn Beck Insider Extreme members.

GLENN: Say the name of the book one more time.

O'REILLY: Here's what they did. Here's what the Obama administration did and

here's how it's affecting you.

GLENN: And you can find that in, what's the name of the book?

O'REILLY: (Laughing). Don't be a pinhead, Beck. Don't be a pinhead.

GLENN: I'm a patriot. You're the pinhead.

O'REILLY: So I took and said, look, he spent $800 billion in stimulus money,

okay, and here's how it's affected you. Your job security is worse now than it

was before they spent it. That's true. So when I went on The View, that was the

undercurrent of it all, that they here's this big bad O'Reilly walking onto the

show and he's damaging our guy, President Obama. I'm almost positive that was

the underlie. Because when we started to talk about the book, I'm not going to

mention the name of it again.

GLENN: Pinheads and Patriots.

O'REILLY: But we started to talk about it, okay? I said the president has

distanced himself from the folks, and here's a good example, the 9/11 mosque

deal. That's how it came up. And then when I said Muslims killed us on 9/11, I

was surprised. I mean, I don't think that's an explosive statement. I just

don't.

GLENN: Well, I think it's a not coming not in a conversation. You have been on

the record forever. We all have. We know that all Muslims are not killers and

O'REILLY: Right. How many times over ten years do we have to do this?

GLENN: Yeah, we get it. So in conversation it can come out that way and so it's

not. You correct it. You say, all Muslims? Bill O'Reilly, all Muslims? Of

course, not all Muslims and then you go on.

O'REILLY: And who would think that other than zealots? Nobody.

GLENN: Nobody.

O'REILLY: So they use that, they use that to make this display which blew up

right in their it just blew up right in their faces.

GLENN: Oh, can I tell you something? When Joy Behar stood up, she was clearly

grandstanding. And then Whoopi is just pathetic. And they both walk off. And you

know when they really lost? They lost well, first of all, Barbara Walters being

reasonable saying, well, that they are just doing the wrong thing. And then they

lost when they walked back on the set. When they walked back on the set and they

were like, "He apologized." Like, oh, shush, he did not.

O'REILLY: Right, right. But it ignited something in the country, and this is the

power of the Internet, by the way. I mean, we had a huge audience watching it on

our show

GLENN: Why would you say?

O'REILLY: And the View gets a couple of million people watch them, too.

GLENN: Right.

O'REILLY: But the Internet just picked it up and ran, wow. But it ignited in the

country this backlash against political correctness and people are just that's

why I was getting high fived and that's why I was, you know, all my sandwiches

and sodas were bought for me because they just said enough. We have had enough

with these people like Behar and Goldberg who just seize upon anything to call

you a bigot, to, you know, brand you. And it is un American, it is unfair, it is

not charitable. Whatever, people have had I. They have had it. And I will gladly

lead this anti PC movement. I'm anointing myself as the leader.

GLENN: I don't think that you do that in a constitutional republic.

O'REILLY: You don't what?

GLENN: I don't think that you just make yourself king.

O'REILLY: I'm not king. I'm just leading the anti PC movement, you know?

GLENN: Okay, here's the thing. Oh, jeez, are you going to have tea parties and

little groups that meet all over? Because I hate the people who do that. Anyway,

Bill, you should watch the show in two nights because unbeknownst to me but I

think you're right about what that whole thing was on there, that it's anti PC.

I'm doing a special here in a couple of nights on the roots of political

correctness and it will blow your mind. It will blow your mind.

O'REILLY: Good. Well, then you can be the co leader of the anti PC movement.

We'll be co leaders.

GLENN: I don't

O'REILLY: Now, did you tell the folks about the big event coming up the night

before Halloween out in Connecticut? Did you tell them?

GLENN: Oh, yeah, we're doing the Pinhead and Patriot tour.

O'REILLY: I think it's the Bold Fresh Tour. You don't want to confuse it.

GLENN: How many books do you have to write? Jeez, man.

O'REILLY: You've got more books than I have. I'm trying to contribute to

society, not just, you know, write them.

GLENN: (Laughing).

O'REILLY: Anyway, Beck and I are going to be at Mohegan Sun, the big Indian

casino in Connecticut and we want everybody to mobilize and come up there to

come see us because it's a great show. The BoldFreshTour.com has for details.

GLENN: And it's on Halloween eve.

O'REILLY: You don't have to come in costume.

GLENN: But you are, right? You are coming as a hate mongering bigot?

O'REILLY: I've got the Joy Behar wig.

GLENN: What? I was right then, a hate mongering bigot. Anyway, Bill, one last

thing. Would you do me a favor? Go to TheBlaze.com today.

O'REILLY: I read the article already on this pinhead.

GLENN: Did you see the video?

O'REILLY: I didn't see the video.

GLENN: Oh, go read go watch the video. It's on The Blaze. And look at this guy.

Have you ever heard of him? Because this

O'REILLY: No, I never heard ever him.

GLENN: This is your kind of guy you are the guy who took down Sami Al Arian.

O'REILLY: And ward Churchill.

GLENN: Right.

O'REILLY: Yeah, this is another nut.

GLENN: This guy's amazing. What he was just saying recently, they have him on

videotape.

O'REILLY: Right.

GLENN: He's a guy who is a professor at Lincoln college in Pennsylvania. Just a

few days ago he was out and they have him on videotape and he's saying, we have

to take Israel apart. If we can do it peacefully, you know, if that's even

possible, great. Otherwise, rise up. And I mean, he's a dangerous guy.

O'REILLY: Yeah, I'm going to probably use a little bit of that on The Factor

tonight. You going to do something on it tonight?

GLENN: No, I don't have time to.

O'REILLY: You got too many mourn things to do?

GLENN: I've got so many important things to do.

O'REILLY: I don't know how you get through the day, Beck. The world, the weight

of the world on your shoulders like that?

GLENN: I'm going to be I know. I've got to talk about a little more Woodrow

Wilson tonight.

O'REILLY: Woody's coming back again?

GLENN: Woody. We have the Woody block, we have the Woody moment. All right,

Bill. Oh, wait, wait, wait, one more thing.

O'REILLY: Yeah.

GLENN: Did you see the Nancy Pelosi video?

O'REILLY: It's my talking points memo. Great minds think alike.

GLENN: Could you please address in your talking points memo tonight how wrong

you are about they are Mott Marxist socialists?

O'REILLY: I'm not listen. I'm not

GLENN: No, seriously what part of that sounds like the free market system?

O'REILLY: Why are you, why are you saying I'm wrong? I just don't care about

what their overall philosophy is. It doesn't matter to me. What matters is what

they do. So now you have the Speaker of the House saying, well, you know what?

He have to correct the unfairness here. And, of course, that means government

intervention in the private sector. So okay, now we have this one saying this

and then we're going to lay it on out there.

GLENN: This is the reason, this is the reason why you've been number one for

4,000 years.

O'REILLY: Yeah. You're more philosophical, see? I'm more methodical.

GLENN: No, you are just, you are hiding in the bushes. That's what.

O'REILLY: I'm not hiding anywhere, Beck. Are you kidding me, man?

GLENN: You are hiding in the bushes. You are just, you're camouflage. They never

see you coming. They never see you coming.

O'REILLY: The View ladies saw me coming and they fled in terror.

GLENN: All right, Bill, Good talking to you.

O'REILLY: As always.

GLENN: Pinheads and Patriots in stores everywhere now and we'll see you, when is

it? Let's see.

PAT: Halloween eve.

Imagine a global health crisis. Everyone is ordered to "stay-at-home" and only to venture out for "essential" purposes. Travel is regulated by government surveillance, with only permitted workers allowed to go into the city. Inflation is at historic levels, and basic necessities, such as food and gasoline, become invaluable commodities.

Sound familiar?

As the COVID pandemic begins to recede into our cultural memory, it is harrowing to remember the sheer breadth of power we surrendered to our government in order to "keep us safe." We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale in the west, and we would be even more naive to believe that we aren't at risk of repeating it in the future: the government's manipulation of a crisis to secure its complete control over its people.

We would be foolish to think that the pandemic wasn't a repetition of an age-old tale

Filmmaker Matt Battaglia published a first in what is likely to become an emerging genre of post-pandemic apocalyptic literature, bringing to life the harrowing consequences of what could happen if we continue to surrender our liberty to the government for the sake of "safety and security."

Battaglia's graphic novel, House on Fire, brings this world to life in an even more vivid dimension through pictures, telling the story of a single day of a man living in this apocalyptic world that doesn't seem too distant from our own.

The setting

Imagine there is another global pandemic of a respiratory virus that is similar to COVID. The government implements COVID-like lockdowns and restrictions from their 2020 blueprint, but this time, the regulations are here to stay. After all, this pandemic isn't the only threat allegedly facing the American people. The future of our planet is at stake. On top of the pandemic regulations, our government restricts the types of food available for consumption, implements individual carbon quotas, mandates electric vehicles, eliminates gas-powered heating, cars, stoves, etc.

Of course, the pandemic and climate change policies require major government funding, so the President uses his emergency powers and executive orders to push through a multi-trillion-dollar proposal that secures the funding necessary to finance the "clean and safe transition." Yes, inflation will be an issue, but that is a small price to pay to secure our health and the future of our planet. Don't forget to include foreign aid for our warring allies in the multi-trillion-dollar packages as well.

Inflation is a small price to pay to secure the future of our planet.

Now fast forward 20 years of living under these all-too-familiar draconian policies. This is Battaglia's apocalyptic world where we meet our nameless main character, causing the reader to question whether our world could devolve into Battaglia's in such a short amount of time.

The plot

Battaglia's story begins with our character kissing his wife goodbye and leaving their country home on a one-day mission to the city in search of a cure for his wife's most recent bout of the illness that is, presumably, a result of the pandemic.

All of the themes that contribute to the apocalyptic nature of Battaglia's world are familiar to us, disturbingly so. Our character drives through country roads, passing by gas signs that list $20 per gallon prices. His radio reports on another invasion of Poland, while country fields transform into steeple-like towers of run-down factories, like old monuments to former industries of a time long past.

Our character reaches the city limit, a border-like security checkpoint where he is required to scan his identity card to enter the city, the likes of which we see in China today. Masks required. He then drives through empty streets of a once bustling city, save for several suspect people who seem to blend into the crevices of alleyways and corners, shrouded by their masks.

Finally, our character meets with his "contact," who gives him some type of canister, supposedly a remedy for his wife's ailment. He barters with several cuts of meat, a rarity more valuable than inflated cash in this "Green New World." From this point onward, things take a turn for our character—for the worst.

Glenn's warning

Many of these scenes bring to life themes that Glenn has been warning about for years, from the government's use of a pandemic to seize control over its people, the depleted dollar and record-high inflation resulting from government spending and foreign conflicts, the Great Reset's goals to eliminate meat, gas-powered products, and other "high emissions products." All of these will be done in the name of seemingly righteous goals: "health," "safety," "security," and the "future of our planet" come to mind. However, we won't realize our freedoms will be a faint memory of the past until it is too late.

All of these measures will be done in the name of seemingly "righteous" goals.

House on Fire's poignant ending leaves the reader with a terrifying yet vitally important question: are the issues plaguing our society latent within society itself, or do they stem from the troubles within our own souls? Does society mold the human soul, or is society, as Plato puts it, the human soul "writ large?"

Battaglia's short yet powerful graphic novel brings to life many of the themes that Glenn has been warning his listeners. It is sitting on his desk, and we hope it will sit on yours too. It gives the reader a glimpse into our society after years of decay and oppression, calling on the reader to halt its progression before it's too late.

Elon Musk chimed into Glenn's conversation about foreign policy with PayPal's founding COO David Sacks on the most recent installment of the Glenn Beck Podcast.

Musk tweeted, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day!" He hit the nail on the head, as Glenn and Sacks discussed the deterioration of U.S. foreign policy and the rising probability of war with Russia and China.

Glenn asked Sacks, "How likely do you think it is that we'd be headed towards war?" Sacks responded that he has been warning about the imminent threat of war since the Ukraine situation started and lamented that we have entered into a "proxy war of choice" with Russia.

"We engaged in a series of actions going back to 2008 that the Russians have viewed as highly provocative," Sacks said, decrying the continued expansion of NATO into Ukraine. Russia has continually warned the U.S. against expanding NATO into Ukraine, yet the State Department "crusaders" have persisted in their NATO-driven objective, which is "unacceptable to the Russians," Sacks said, "in the same way the Soviet Union trying to put nukes in Cuba was unacceptable to us in 1962."

If NATO expansion isn't enough to provoke a response from the Russian bear, our ongoing and escalating aid to Ukraine certainly is. As Sacks explained, "We're not just providing [Ukraine] with money and weapons. We are providing them with intelligence, we have commandos on the ground" and we are even directing Ukrainian soldiers on how to use our weapons on how to hit specific Russian targets. As Sacks said, "We are providing the kill chain" for Ukraine.

To put this in perspective, that would be equivalent to Russian soldiers instructing Taliban members on how to use Russian weapons to hit specific U.S. camps in Afghanistan. In that situation, wouldn't we accuse Russia of engaging in an act of war? The term "proxy" is increasingly diminishing in its relevance towards the U.S.'s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. We aren't engaging in a "proxy war" anymore. As Sacks said, "We are effectively a co-belligerent in this conflict."

It is no wonder that we are driving Russia into China's arms while both Putin and Xi continue to forge ties with sworn enemies of the U.S., including Iran and North Korea. If we continue to "poke the bear," it is only a matter of time before Russia finds its confidence with its newly-forged allies to retaliate against its aggressor.

Musk rightly said, "US foreign policy is bronze tier on a good day." But U.S. foreign policy has not even had a "good day" in some time. We are not only jeopardizing our own international reputation with ongoing aid to Ukraine; we are jeopardizing the whole world order by marching NATO increasingly toward war. Elites in the Biden administration and the military industrial complex may benefit from aggravating Russia towards war, but it certainly doesn't benefit anyone else, in the U.S. and abroad.

There are few tools in the conservative's kit to fight back against the elites' dangerous agenda. However, Musk mentioned one of these vital tools in a comment he tweeted on Glenn's interview with San Fransicko author and Twitter Files contributor Michael Schellenberger back in January: "Citizen journalism is vital to the future of civilization."

As Glenn continues to give people a platform to speak out against the elites, it is encouraging to see Musk continue to help make Twitter a platform where people can voice their challenges to the machine's agenda.

Here are the TOP 5 things you NEED to know about Trump's potential indictment

Brandon Bell / Staff, Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

Trump's potential indictment is one of the most historically significant events in our nation's history—and no, that is not a hyperbolic statement.

If Trump is federally prosecuted, by a state-level District Attorney no less, then America may be entering a new territory past which there is no return: the weaponization of our judicial system against the top political opponents to the ruling class. As Glenn has said, weaponizing our judiciary is something we see in banana republics. Is America about to become one?

With all of the news and hype around Trump's potential indictment, it is easy to lose sight of the core issues that truly give this story historical significance. Here are five core aspects of this story that have the potential to transform our nation going forward.

1. Trump committed a misdemeanor, NOT a felony. 

The allegations against Trump pertain to "hush money" given to the porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 Presidential Campaign. Trump's advisor Michael Cohen gave Daniels $130,000 of his own money after Daniels threatened to publicize her alleged affair with Trump just days before the 2016 election. Cohen wrote off the money as "legal fees" under his campaign finance funds. Trump then reimbursed Cohen for the expenses once he was in the White House.

Trump has maintained that he never had an affair with Daniels and that he is the victim of an extortion scheme. But that is besides the point. New York DA Alvin Bragg is potentially indicting Trump based on mislabeling the "hush money" as "legal fees" under campaign finance laws.

Even NBC acknowledges that mislabeling campaign finances is a "misdemeanor," not a felony, yet Trump is being prosecuted as if it were. The only way the "crime" could be turned into a felony is if the mislabeling was done to cover up another crime. Yet, as NBC admits, it is unclear whether Bragg has evidence of another crime that Trump was trying to cover up.

If you are thinking, "Wait, this is old news, right?" you would be correct. There is a reason why no one has prosecuted Trump based on the Stormy Daniels hush money in the seven years since it occurred—because there simply is no federal case. So why has Alvin Bragg decided to prosecute Trump now? Well, for one thing, Trump announced he is running for President again in 2024, and the Left simply can't let that happen.

2. Hillary Clinton committed the SAME crime. 

The double standard of Trump's potential indictment is made even more clear when compared with Hillary Clinton, who committed the same misdemeanor.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential campaign "misreported" funds received from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that went towards the infamous Steele Dossier, which aimed at linking Trump to collusion with the Russian government (which was proven to be a complete farce). Clinton's campaign wrote off the Steele Dossier funds as "legal services"—sound familiar?

She and the DNC paid the Federal Election Commission $113,000 to the Federal Election Commission, and the issue was swept under the rug. Yet Trump is being accused of the SAME misdemeanor—mislabeling campaign finance funds—and he is being threatened with federal prosecution.

3. Trump's possible indictment is "very conveniently" timed to overshadow the Biden family's corruption. 

On March 16, 2023, the House Oversight Committee released a scathing memorandum detailing the illicit business dealings between the Biden family and the Chinese state-owned energy company, State Energy HK Limited.

According to bank records subpoenaed by the committee, the Chinese energy company wired $3 million to Delaware-based Robinson Walker LLC two months after Biden left the White House in 2017. At the time of the wire transfer, the business account only had $159 thousand. Now it had over $3 million.

The very next day, Robinson Walker LLC wired over $1 million to a company associated with James Gillar, a business partner of Hunter Biden’s.

Over the next 3 months, Robinson Walker LLC would send incremental payments to multiple members of the Biden family and their companies, including Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's brother, James, and Beau Biden's ex-wife, Hallie. The transfers included another "mysterious" recipient titled simply, “Biden." Who could that possibly be?

Let's get this straight: Trump's potential misdemeanor-turned-felony is making front-page news while Biden's DOCUMENTED business dealings with a foreign entity and enemy to the United States are being swept under the rug. How "convenient" for Biden.

4. Weaponizing judiciary 

This week, we published a poll to see what YOU think of Trump's potential indictment, and most of you overwhelmingly believe our judiciary is being weaponized against anyone on the right side of the aisle—and you are absolutely correct.

Glenn aptly pointed out that using the judiciary to attack political opponents is something we see in banana republics, but now we are witnessing it in the U.S. before our eyes. As Glenn said, the strategy in banana republics is, "Show me the man, and I will find you the crime." They want Trump GONE, and now they are trying to conjure up the crime to do it.

It is very telling that conservatives are fearful of protesting Trump's potential indictment. As Glenn said, we all want a peaceful response. However, conservatives are now taking pause before peaceful protest after seeing the DOJ ruthlessly prosecutethousands of individuals on January 6, even those who never reached the capitol grounds. Is protesting Trump's indictment worth the risk of arrest?

The fact that this question arises in people's minds is extremely indicative of our current political climate. Our judiciary has been weaponized against conservatives, and now we have to think twice before publicly standing up for our beliefs. Sounding more like a banana republic?

5. This is the FIRST time a U.S. President has been federally prosecuted. 

If Trump is federally indicted, it would solidify the judiciary's ability to become a weapon against political opponents, even up to the position of a U.S. President. This should give all Americans grave concern. This issue is much bigger than Trump; it is about whether we want to live in a nation whose ruling power can use its judicial system to go after its opponents.

Consider, for a moment, if the tables were turned. What if a Trump-appointed DA federally indicted President Obama for a state-level misdemeanor that resulted in throwing him in prison? Is that the "America" you would want to live in? It would arguably cease to be "America" as we know it and devolve into an ungovernable shell of what it once was.

This harrowing possibility is materializing beneath our very noses. There were many events that led up to the fall of the Roman republic into an empire, but it was the singular event of Caesar crossing the Rubicon that tipped the republic past the point of no return. Could this be our Rubicon moment? Are we, like Cicero, witnessing our republic mutate into something unrecognizable before our very eyes?

Though prosecuting Trump may yield some political vengeance and satisfaction for one side of the aisle in the short term, it poses an insurmountable threat to both sides of the aisle in the long-term trajectory of our country.

On Thursday's radio program, Glenn mentioned how important this week's stories are concerning the trajectory of our nation. From growing fears of bank collapses to the possible indictment of a U.S. President, the way these events unfold will have a seismic shift in the future of our country.

Glenn wants YOU to be informed with all of the news stories that are unfolding so that YOU can prepare for the future. Glenn considered his show prep from Thursday so important, he wanted all of his listeners to have it. That's why we're making Glenn's Morning Brief newsletter from March 23, 2023 available to you now. Scroll down to view all of the stories.
