Bill O’Reilly: Biden’s border mess is a DERELICTION OF DUTY

Biden’s failure at our southern border goes far beyond incompetence, Bill O’Reilly tells Glenn: ‘The President of the United States does not know what he’s doing.’ It’s the only way to explain why Joe hasn’t given Governor Abbott a SINGLE phone call about the issue, despite the fact that an estimated 3 MILLION migrants will enter Texas this fiscal year. O’Reilly predicts that Biden’s border mess is such a dereliction of duty, that it could be enough for Republicans to IMPEACH him next year...

BILL: Okay. And this is going to make you and Stu, push your chins up.

GLENN: Okay. Stu is out -- Stu is out having surgery. And so Pat is --

BILL: Oh, I'm sorry. He's okay, though?

GLENN: Yeah. He's fine. He was in a knife fight with a pimp. But he's all right.

PAT: Yeah. It's before.

GLENN: Yeah. I know. I know. Several times. But we usually don't talk about it. But go ahead. Biggest story of the week, Bill?

BILL: Yeah. So Waters asked the governor of Texas, Abbott, has the president of the United States Joe Biden called you, about the crisis on the border, since he took office?

What do you think the answer was?

GLENN: No.

BILL: Now, why is this important? Number one, 3 million foreign nationals are estimated to cross just into Texas. This year. This fiscal year.

And a president doesn't call the governor of the state, that has to deal with that? One time?

So everybody listening goes, oh, he's just incompetent. He doesn't know.

It's not that. And I keep telling everybody this. And few believe me. I think you do, Beck. But I'm not sure.

The president of the United States does not know what he is doing. He is incapable of assimilating -- word of the day -- information.

You can tell him something, and he'll look at you, and maybe he'll understand what you're saying. But two minutes later, he will forget it.

So Biden, who has not been to the border. Another unbelievable occurrence. When you add up the human toll of this, plus the narcotics traffic. That's killing hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. You add it up, this is a catastrophe!

GLENN: So, Bill, what is --

BILL: He won't even --

GLENN: What are we supposed to do? Because I don't believe the Constitution is a death pact. You know, it's is not a suicide pact. And this is an invasion, and the government is doing nothing.

BILL: Nothing.

GLENN: And the government has the constitutional responsibility for the border. Not the states. So that's what's kept the states out of it.

But, again, are we in a constitutional suicide pact? What should the state do?

BILL: No. Beck, you elect the president. He comes into office. Americans have this idealistic view of that.

Many times, you elect someone who is destructive to the country. All right?

I mean, many times, not a few. Many. So what happens now? Well, everybody can whine and complain, and talk about it. But what happens is this: In November, there's a course correction possible. Whereby the American people would say, I recognize what a disaster Joe Biden is. And I'm sorry, he's the president. And if I voted for him, I made a mistake. So now I'm going to correct that mistake. And I'm going to give Congress, the authority to deal with Biden.

That's our system. That's how the Founders set it up. So I fully expect that the Republicans will take both houses of Congress. I'll be shocked, if that doesn't happen. Because of inflation, primarily. And the economy.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: That's the driver of the vote. But second is the border. Now, once the Republicans take over, I can assure you, articles of impeachment will be drawn up in January and February 2023 against Biden on this issue. Dereliction of duty. You can read the message of the day, at BillO'Reilly.com. And I know you do. It's free. Everybody can read it. He's the commander of chief. This is dereliction of duty. Just like a corporal, or a sergeant, be if they were in the field, with the military unit, and they didn't follow orders, that's dereliction of duty. This is dereliction of duty. Does everybody get this?

Biden is president, but he's also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. So you can impeach on those grounds. Now, will he be convicted in the Senate?

Probably not. But it will be such a hammer blow to the country. The Trump impeachment were jokes. That everybody knew what that was. Set up by Pelosi. On any grounds at all. To embarrass Trump.

This is much more serious, because the numbers are there. The deaths are there. Verifiable. It's not a phone call to Zelinsky in Ukraine.

This is people dying every day, because their government will not stop the importation of deadly narcotics from Mexico. That's what this is.

And that is why, this is the story of the week.

GLENN: Okay. Let me -- let me take you here. You know, you say I would be surprised if the Democrats, you know, held control. I would be too. It's just, what is it going to look like as it gets there? The hounding of right-wing extremists in the media, and how this is the most extreme political party. The right. Political party, ever. They are -- they are not only just stirring it up like they have been. But they are now also enacting through Fiat, the -- through the agencies. All kinds of things, to -- to set up an encounter with extremists. And be able to isolate, and, you know -- and label people.

I mean, it's -- I've never seen anything like this.

BILL: No. It's desperation! And it's enabled by the media, who loves the story. But it's not going to lead anywhere.

Look, the next time, you hear Biden get out there and say, white supremacy is the biggest danger to this country. Number one, please read killing it is killers. Because the jihadists are -- are way more dangerous than the white supremacists. But here's the question you ask: If that's true, Mr. President, why hasn't the president made any cases against white supremacists or organizations, thereof?

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: None. Why! If it's that big a threat. If it's everywhere pervasive, you would think the FBI would be perp-walking him every day. Would you not?

GLENN: Yeah. I mean, you would at least feel like it did after September 11th, you know.

BILL: Yeah. I mean, this is such a propaganda ploy. And, you know, I'm going to submit to you most Americans know it. They know it's BS. They know it. And then when the Producer Price Index comes out. And, again, it's not reported. Nobody knows what it is. And says, hey. We're almost over 10 percent. That's passed on to consumers. That's three more months!

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: Of rising inflation, and that's up to November.

GLENN: Yeah. We haven't seen anything with inflation yet. People don't understand. It's still ahead of us. What you're feeling right now, is -- is in the past. What's coming is much worse.

BILL: You know what Biden is going to have to do?

GLENN: What? Price controls. That's what he's going to try to do.

BILL: Price controls. Absolutely.

See, Beck, you're much smarter than you look.

GLENN: No, I know. I know. I'm deceiving that way.

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: All right. Back in just a second. More with Bill O'Reilly.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
