Bill O’Reilly: How Progressives are DESTROYING YOUR FREEDOM

The Progressive Left knows the midterm elections could HALT their current progress, Bill O’Reilly tells Glenn, which is why they’re doing everything they can to push voters toward Democrat candidates…even if American cities become further destroyed as a result. It’s all part of a ‘MASSIVE TAKEOVER,’ O’Reilly explains, to diminish YOUR personal freedoms. In this clip, O’Reilly gives several examples of recent attempts to do just that. Plus, he and Glenn discuss the decision our citizenry must make in the coming months and whether the far-left can be stopped before we no longer recognize our nation…

GLENN: Jeez, where do want to start the biggest story of the week?

BILL: Well, you know, I wanted to start in a more generalized capacity. Because you have the midterm elections, which could put an end to some of the madness. And so the progressive left, which has made unbelievable strides under Biden knows that. And now they're working in conjunction with the media, to put out these phony polls, that show the Biden administration surging in popularity, and the Democrats, and the generic ballot, beating the Republicans, and all of this.

This is not true. But it could have an effect, if it's not countered by people like you and me.

Because we live in a country, where half of the voters don't know anything. And I'm not being supercilious, Beck. Arrogant. I'm not. It's just a fact. They live this a world of their own. A world they create out of cyberspace. They don't pay attention.

GLENN: Correct.

BILL: They don't understand the big picture. They don't understand that gas costs more, and so does bread. But that's all they understand. And so they're subject to unbelievable propaganda.

But if Americans and the Republican party start to really up the urgency of this.

GLENN: Well, part of this is because of Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell has been hurt to say that all we're going to do is just keep pointing out how bad the Democrats are. That way, we won't lose anybody. Are you out of your mind?

BILL: I don't know what he says. They don't care what he says.

There isn't a central force in the Republican Party right now, at all.

And really, there isn't in the Democrat Party either. Because Biden is not in control of this situation. But the Democratic machines allied with the media. Out of K Street out of Washington. Where these political action committees operate. They are well-organized. And the Republicans aren't. So there isn't this urgency of message.

I mean, when you get a poll in Los Angeles. It shows that a progressive leftist is well out in front of a guy who says, look, I'm going to clean up the town.

And that poll is probably accurate. And you say to the people of Los Angeles. Okay. If this is what you want. This is what you've got. You better get a gate. And you better get a gun or security guards. Because this is totally out of control. And you're voting for it. You're voting for more of it.

That's the big story. There comes a point in history. And you know that I'm the history guy.

Where a citizenry has to make a decision. A collective decision.

GLENN: Correct.

BILL: To you and me, it's so clear, right? It's so clear. There isn't two sides of the story, like there might have been with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. There aren't two sides to the story. This is a massive government takeover of everything in this country, to diminish your personal freedom. That's what this loan thing is all about.

GLENN: I know.

BILL: But if the government wants to run education, Pre-K to post graduate. They want to run it all. So they can indoctrinate, just like you did with the Tuttle Twins said. Thus, students from cradle to when they're out.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: This is a massive step towards that. We will pay, if you go along with us, if you agree with us. We'll pay for a lot of your education. They want to run personal protection. Second Amendment.

They don't want you to have personal protection. This is the federal government. But most of all, they want to run the economy, to tell you, the American citizen, what you can and can't have.

This is all tied in, to the progressive vision. I'm not a conspiracy guy. I mock most conspiracies. But you can see, how this has happened in the past, in other countries. And how it is now being attempted in the United States.

GLENN: Yeah. I -- I have never really liked. This is the most important election in our lifetime. Because I've heard it my whole life.

This could be the last midterm election, under the United States of America as we know it.

The Constitution by 2024, could be gone, if there's no speed bump in Congress. There's -- we've got to stop this.

The -- the -- the executive orders, Bill.

I've -- I've always been against executive orders, when they are just -- they're -- I mean, we're writing -- we're not legislating anything anymore. And I don't like executive orders.

Now, I think executive orders have to be stopped. They just have to be stopped.

Because we are in a dictatorship. When a president can do what he's trying to do, that's a dictatorship.

BILL: But you're not going to stop it, unless you have a Republican president elected in 2024. There's no mechanisms to stop it. So the Founding Fathers, they wanted a certain type of government, but they realized, all of them, in their personal letters and papers. That this won't happen.

GLENN: Okay. So let me go. Talking about personal papers, the redacted version of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant affidavit, is supposed to be made public. Now, redacted. Are we just going to see a bunch of pages with nothing, but black bars over it?

BILL: Yeah. I mean, look, what you can expect to see, is a generalized rationale towards the search. You're not going to get any names. You're not going to know what the person -- the grand jury that Trump took. You're not going to know any of that. I don't even think you'll get specific documents that they're looking for.

GLENN: There's nothing here. That's a nothing burger.

BILL: Right. There's nothing in this whole thing for me.

GLENN: I know.

BILL: All right. This is just -- you know, it's another example of a government trying to destroy an individual, in this case Donald Trump.

So the government -- the Biden administration is trying to destroy the man, because they know, that he still has a massive amount of support.

And the Republicans who hate him, are siding with the Democrats. Which is really, look, I know Trump better than anyone knows him. And I understand the eccentricities of the man. That he did some damage to himself and the country, by being immature and undisciplined. And I told it to him, more times than you can even imagine. But he governs the country well.

GLENN: He did.

BILL: And that is not in dispute, if you look at the border, if you look at the economic deals that he made.

GLENN: But, again, it can't be done by executive order.

It has -- I mean, we wouldn't be having this problem if we had Republicans with a spine.

Let me switch topics here. The FBI is losing credibility so rapidly. We have the FBI, not only with the Mar-a-Lago thing.

But we also have the FBI agents, whistle blowers at the highest levels, according to Grassley. Saying that the FBI was ordered not to talk about Hunter Biden. It was -- they were ordered not to look at any of that.

The -- Mark Zuckerberg was on Joe Rogan. And he talked about how the FBI came to him. And said, you know, there's going to be some Russian disinformation coming out. You know, don't run with it. So we have that.

Plus, we also have the story, that the people who stole Ashley Biden's diary, which I'm all for them being arrested. They stole her diary. But this has really damning information in that -- in that diary.

They arrested those two people. But nobody is looking into the Hunter Biden thing. No arrests have been made on this, at all.

What is the game plan of the FBI?

BILL: Okay. It doesn't really matter, Beck suspect preponderance the House becomes Republican in November. Okay. When that happens, and they're all sworn in, in January. The first thing the Republicans will do, is hold hearings on the FBI.

And then these whistle-blowers will come in, and they'll say, what they are going to say under oath. And that will be the end of the FBI's reign of power. Because it will then be destroyed and charges -- actual charges might come from that. That's number one.

GLENN: But I have to tell you Bill. I'm concerned. I think we're a country. The United States of blackmail. They have been monitoring these congressmen and everything else. And, you know, these congressmen are not the best moral character. Are you sure that of the -- the intelligence agencies, and, you know, look at the power that the FBI had under Hoover.

BILL: Yeah. I mean, I know it, because I wrote Killing the Mob. And everything is in there. But different age now. So that's the FBI. But here's the worst FBI.

You ready for the worst, Glenn?

GLENN: Sure.

BILL: They didn't even look into, who leaked the Alito memo.

GLENN: Do you know that for sure?

BILL: Yeah. Because if they had, they wouldn't have made an arrest. There are only maybe 20 people.

GLENN: I know. I know.

BILL: And probably out of those 20, over maybe six or seven.

GLENN: But doesn't that -- doesn't that also fall to John Roberts. Because they do have their open at least security, that can hire out, to investigate.

BILL: I guess. I don't know. But I do know, that if Trump were president. And this happened, you would have an arrest already.

GLENN: Yeah. You would have.

BILL: Okay? So when you see something that simple, all right? That blatant, that you have a person inside the Supreme Court. Not a lot of them. All right?

And they can't find that person who leaked that memo in a historical fashion. Which makes us a banana republic, if we can't even keep secrets at the Supreme Court level. We're a banana republic. And so, it is a terrible thing.

But there is a resolution to this, if the House goes Republican.

GLENN: All right. Back with more. Bill O'Reilly here in just a second. If you're a sensible person, which I know you are. You know you're never a single disaster away from losing the things that are precious to you. You wake up in the middle of the night to a house fire. What do you won't be?

I mean, this just happened to a neighbor of mine. They had a house fire. Lost everything. They had sprinklers in the House. They thought that would save them.

GLENN: Well, it stopped the fire. But it destroyed everything in the house, including the house. You know, taking pictures out, that are just now garbage. Once things are destroyed, they are gone. Now, you don't have to have a fire in your house. Just time destroys many of our photos. If you have videotapes or anything like that. Man, they're going to be gone soon. Those tapes are meant to last ten years. Everything from my childhood, to my kid's childhood, is on films and tapes and photographs. Preserve them now.

Bill O'Reilly, a guy who knows how inflation works. Too many dollars chasing too few goods.

So the economy is overheating. We have to slow down the economy. How do we do that?

You make sure that people don't have the money to spend. What Joe Biden did with this -- with this bailout of people, student loans, is absolutely incredible.

Bill, talk to me a little bit about the fallout of this. What you think -- if it's going to stand.

Nancy Pelosi flip-flopping, and what it's going to do with the economy.

BILL: Well, I can't predict the economy. Nobody can. We still have the big consumer engineer in this country. People are out, as in Yankee Stadium for the Mets game on Tuesday.

Fifty thousand people there, spending money and buying, you know, 8-dollar hot dogs. So I can't predict the economy.

The loan forgiveness thing will be obliterated if there is a Republican president in 2024. That will go. It's a ten-year expenditure. I estimate the expenditure, if the Democrats continue to hold power, to be at about 700 billion. The country cannot afford, obviously to keep running up this kind of debt. Biden is not going to stop. The only reason they do this, is to buy votes anyway. Most of the money is wasted.

It's so complex. People don't understand who is going to get the loan. How it's tied into the Department of Labor. I mean, it's just unbelievable.

GLENN: So wait. Wait. Wait.

You -- you say that this is going to -- has to wait until the next president. Do you not think this is going to go to the Supreme Court?

BILL: No. It won't get there. Biden will veto any attempt to rein it in. But, you know, it's only really two years away now. This is how fast time goes. I want to tell your audience, Beck. Because I know you have a very smart and big audience around the world. A couple things, I did an interview with Newt Gingrich this week on BillO'Reilly.com. Everybody should watch that interview.

The way I interviewed these people, is totally different than anybody else. And, you know, that.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: And I got a lot of micro information, about really what's happening. Because Gingrich, he went through this. Right.

The whole thing, in the contract for America, and all that. So if you really want an astute analysis, and get away from the propaganda. You see on television, and paper news, watch that. The second thing is that people are getting hopeless now.

And they shouldn't. So, yes.

There are states like mine, New York, and California, and Illinois. Almost irredeemable at this point.

But also states like Florida and Texas, and other places, that are wise enough. That are saying, you know, we want our freedom. We want to hold on to our personal freedom.

I mean, people in California and New York. I'm shocked. They don't seem to respect their own personal freedom.

They want a government to tell them, what they can and can't do. Every single facet of life. I've never seen anything like this, ever. Why do you want to sacrifice your personal autonomy to an incompetent boob like Joe Biden? Why would you ever want to give Nancy Pelosi power over you, or Donald Trump, or any other politician?

You know, you've got to fight for your independence. And we're not there. Because that message is being suppressed.

STU: Well, that message also, you know, Newt Gingrich had the contract for America.

I had been ringing the bell in Congress and the Senate for a year. Contract for America. How about a new one? And they won't do it.

BILL: It's not going to happen -- it's not going to happen this time around, there's no central leadership, like Gingrich brought to the House.

STU: Yeah. Well, then Kevin McCarthy should definitely not be the guy in the House. He should definitely not -- if he can't get that done, then he should definitely not be the leader of the House. Period.

BILL: Whatever. I don't follow that very closely, because I don't -- I know the games that are played.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

I want the American people to wise up, to see what is happening, in a non-paranoia way.

And discuss it with their children, their families, their friends, and say, you know, this is bad. This is way worse than you think it is.

When the powerful corporate media allies with the progressive left, as it has, there's trouble.

GLENN: Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

If you watched his No-spin Zone for years, he's still doing No Spin News every night, BillO'Reilly.com.

Has THIS Islamist organization BROKEN state laws for YEARS?!

A new report accuses CAIR Action, the political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, of breaking state laws with its political activism. Glenn Beck reviews this story...

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So let me go over what is -- what's happening with -- with CAIR.

You know, the Founding Fathers were obsessed over accountability.

Because they knew one thing. You know, they did. They must get suggestions from people on, you know, through tweets. They studied every single system of government.

Every single republic that survived. That didn't survive.

Why didn't it survive?

They studied all forms of government. They were trying to come up with something that could -- could set people free.

And they -- they worked really hard on putting our checks and balances in place, because they knew, once power slips into the shadows. They knew, once power slips into the shadows, once influence becomes unmoored from law, what rises is not a republic.

It's a machine. And that's what you're seeing right now. We're not living in a republic. We're living in a machine.

We -- I think we're staring at one of the largest unregulated political machines operating in the United States ever! Okay.

There have been a couple of groups that are doing sweeping investigations, two watchdog groups. One of them is NCRI and the Intelligent Advocacy Network.

And they have concluded now that the political arm of CAIR, he known as CAIR action, has been operating nationwide with no legal authority, to do the things it has been doing for years now.

They're not allowed to raise money. They've been raising money. Coordinating political campaigns.

Not allowed to do it. Endorsing candidates. Not allowed to do it, they're doing it. Mobilizing voters, shaping policy, functioning as a national advocacy network.

They don't have the legal authority to do any of it. And no one has said anything.

Now, according to the report, CAIR action doesn't just have a paperwork problem.

Investigators found, state by state, that it lacks the license, the registrations. The charitable authorizations, required to legally solicit money.

Excuse me. Or conduct political activity, in any of the 22 states in which it operates. Think of that!

I know how serious this is, because I remember what it took to get the license in each and every state, for Mercury One.

So we could operate. We could raise money. We could do things in those states. It's a lot of work. And if you don't do it, you go to jail. And they find out pretty quickly.

Okay?

22 states, they operate not one, zero legal authorization.

In Washington, DC, the city where CAIR action is incorporated, the department of licensing and consumer protection told investigators, they have no record of CAIR action ever obtaining the basic business license required to solicit funds or to operate.

Imagine how long would you last in business, especially if you were controversial.

How long would you remain in business, if you never had a business license?

You think somebody would figure that out?

In a sooner time than I don't know. A couple of decades!

This report means, that the organization if true, is engaging in unlicensed inner state solicitation.

It has exposed itself to allegations as serious as deceptive solicitation. Wire fraud and false statements to the IRS. These are big things.

And this is not political rhetoric.

Are these phrases written in black and white. In the law.

And by investigators. In California, one of CAIR's most active hubs. The state attorney general has said, the state attorney general of California has said, same pattern here!

The state of California, to say, yep. That's what's happening here.

CAIR action has never registered with California's charitable registry.

Never filed the required CT1 form. And has no authorization whatsoever to request donations. But they've been doing it in California anyway.

Fundraising, selling memberships. Issuing endorsements. Mobilizing voters. All of that has been done by CAIR action. There's no record of any license. Any permission, ever. Going to CAIR. From California. That's according to their attorney general.

Wow!

That's pretty remarkable, huh? How does that happen?

It's not just the coast. It is also happening to the Midwest, the South, the Mountain West. Every state hosting its own CAIR action fundraising page, complete with the donate now and become a member portal, despite no trace of the legal filings required to operate. That's bad!

Now, here's where the stakes rise.

Because CAIR action presents itself openly, as the political arm of CAIR National.

Investigators are now warning that any unauthorized fundraising or political activity.

Could become CAIR's national responsibility as well.

So, in other words, the parent, CAIR itself, might be held responsible.

Meaning, this is want just a rogue subdivision.

This could implicate the entire National Organization of CAIR.

Now, this is happening at the same time it's coming under national scrutiny. It's also Texas.

And I think Florida have designated the group a foreign terrorist organization. Members of Congress are now asking the IRS, the Treasury, the Department of Education to investigate all of its partnerships, all of its financing, all of its influence operations. I mean, I think they're going to be in trouble.

How long have we been saying this?

But every time, I have pointed out anything about CAIR, I have been called an Islamophobe, which shuts everything down. That is a word, developed by people like CAIR, to shut people down, so you'll never look into them.

So what happens next?

First of all, the reports have to hold up.

Regulators now have an obligation. Not a choice. An obligation to act!

State attorneys general in these 22 states, they might pursue fines, injunctions, criminal referrals.

All of them need to take action!

The IRS, needs to take action. Investigate tax exempt fraud. Treasury Department may review foreign influence or money flow violations.

Anything coming from overseas.

Oh, I can't imagine it. They're so buttoned up, right now.

DC regulators may determine whether CAIR actions entire fundraising operation has been unlawful from the beginning.

But here's the deeper question. And it's not bureaucratic. This one is constitutional.

Can the United States tolerate an influence machine, that operates outside of the legal framework, designed to prevent corruption, foreign leverage, and untraceable money?

If I hear one more time, talking about how AIPAC has just got to be investigated. Fine. Investigate.

I'm not against it.

Investigate.

Why aren't you saying anything about CAIR?

It feels like it might be a tool in the hands of a foreign operation.

Why aren't you saying anything about this?

Because here it is! It's not like, hey. I wonder why.

This is it! This is it! This isn't about silencing CAIR. Muslim Americans are -- that are full citizens, they have every right to speak. Every right to vote. Every right to organize. Participate in public life. No question! They can disagree with me, all they want.

But no organization. None! Not mine. Not yours. Not theirs. None. Should operate a nationwide political network, in the shadows and be immune from all of the guardrails that every other group must follow!

That's called a fourth branch of government!

That's how a fourth branch goes.

By the way, CAIR has placed all kinds of people in our Department of Homeland Security. Et cetera, et cetera. This organization has done it!

This is -- you cannot have a fourth branch of government.

They must abide by the laws.

No -- you can't have a branch that nobody elected. Nobody oversees.

Nobody holds accountable.

We talked about this yesterday, on yesterday's podcast. So what needs to happen is total transparency. CAIR action has to release its filings. Its donor structure. Its compliance records, if they exist. Equal enforcement under the law. I don't want them prosecuted in special ways.

Look, if AIPAC is doing the same thing. AIPAC should be prosecuted exactly the same way.
I want it equal. I want constitutional rule.

If conservatives, if Catholics, pro-Israel, environmental, Second Amendment groups, if they have to comply by the state law, so does CAIR action.

And if CAIR action has to do it, so do the Second Amendment groups and environmentalists, and pro-Israel and conservative groups. The law cannot be selective. It can't be!

I don't know how that's controversial in today's world. But somehow or another, they will find a way.

The Feds have to review all of this. If the report is accurate, the IRS and the Treasury have to determine whether false statements or unlicensed interstate solicitations have occurred.

Americans deserve to know what exactly, who is influencing our elections. Who is shaping our policy? Who is raising money in their state?

Especially physical the organization claims political authority, that it doesn't legally possess.

Because history will teach us one unchanging lesson. When a republic stops enforcing its own laws, someone else will always step in to fill that vacuum because power abhors a vacuum!

Unregulated, political power abhors a free people. So while it's about CAIR, it's not about Muslim Americans. It's not about religion.

As always, at least on this program, we try to make it about the rule of law.

One standard for everyone or no standard at all!

And that more than anything, will determine whether or not our institutions remain worthy of the freedom and responsibility that we have entrusted to them.

Glenn Beck WARNS Democrats Will Return with VENGEANCE in 2026 | Glenn TV | Ep 473

America is entering a year of historic upheaval from Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the spiritual shock that followed, to Trump’s tariff revolution, China’s rare-earth war, collapsing energy grids, AI displacement, and the looming fights over Taiwan and Venezuela. Glenn sits down with BlazeTV hosts ‪@deaceshow‬ and ‪@lizwheeler‬ along with his head researcher Jason Buttrill, to break down the biggest stories of 2025. Plus, they each give their most explosive prediction for 2026 that could shape our politics, economy, national security, and civil rights in ways Americans have never experienced before.

Trump Just SHATTERED the “Expert Class” - And the Deep State is in Total Panic

For nearly a century, Washington DC has been ruled by an unelected “expert class” operating as an unconstitutional fourth branch of government — accountable to no one, removable by no president, and shielded from all consequences. Glenn breaks down why Trump’s firing of the Federal Trade Commissioner could finally dismantle the 1935 precedent that empowered technocrats, how Ketanji Brown Jackson exposed the Supreme Court’s embrace of expert rule, and why America cannot survive a government run by people who never face the voters and never pay for their failures.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So President Donald Trump fired the federal trade commissioner Rebecca Slaughter. Federal Trade Commission is an administrative position. I mean, this is under -- the head of the federal trade commission is a cabinet member.

And if the justices uphold Trump's firing of Slaughter, that will overturn a precedent that was horrible, that was set in 1935. Remember, 1935, we're flirting with fascism. You know, everybody thinks. Because they haven't seen the horrors of fascism yet.

Everybody thinks fascism is neat, blah, blah. So what they do is they say that this is an independent person. And the president can't fire them. Because they're, you know, an independent agency.

Well, wait. That would make a fourth branch of government. Our Constitution is really clear.

There is no such thing as a fourth branch of government. Right?

So that's what they're deciding. Now, here is Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is talking about how we really need to listen to the experts. Cut four.

VOICE: Because presidents have accepted that there could be both an understanding of Congress and the presidency. That it is in the best interest of the American people to have certain kinds of issues, handled by experts. Who, and I think you -- in your colloquy, Justice Kagan, have identified the fact that these boards are not only experts, but they're also nonpartisan. So the -- the seats are actually distributed in such a way, that we are presumably eliminating political influence because we're trying to get to science and data and actual facts, related to how these decisions are made.

And so the real risk, I think, of allowing non- -- of allowing these kinds of decisions to be made by the president, of saying, everybody can just be removed when I come in, is that we will get away from those very important policy considerations.

VOICE: We will get away from US policy considerations, and it will create opportunities for all kinds of problems that Congress and prior presidents wanted to avoid, risks that flow inevitably, just given human nature, the realities of the world that we live in.

GLENN: Okay.

Now, remember, what she's saying here is, we have to have experts.

We have to have experts. We have to have experts that don't really answer to anybody. Okay?

They're appointed. And then they're just there. This from a, quote, judicial expert, who cannot define a woman, because she's not a doctor.
She's not a scientist.

She needs an expert to define a woman.
That's how insane her thinking is. Okay?

Now, I would just like to ask the Supreme Court, when you want things run by experts, do you mean things like the State Department, or the counsel of foreign relations, that have gotten us into these endless war wars for 100 years?

Because these are the things that Woodrow Wilson wanted. He wanted the country run by experts.

Okay. So is it like the Council of Foreign Relations, that keep getting us into these endless wars.

Or is it more like the Fed, that directs our fiscal policy, that has driven us into $38 trillion of at the time. We have all powerful banks. That strangely all belong to the fed. And endless bailouts for those banks. Are those the experts that you're talking about?

Or are you talking about the experts that are doctors, that gave the country sterilizations, lobotomies, transgender surgeries. You know, or should we listen to the experts, like the ones that are now speaking in Illinois, to get us death on demand like Canada has, with their MAID assisted suicide, which is now the third largest killer in Canada. MAID, assisted suicide, third largest killer in Canada. Experts are saying, we now need it here, and they're pushing for it in Illinois. Or should we listen to the experts? And I think many of them are the same experts strangely, that brought us COVID. Yeah. That was an expert thing. They were trying to protect us. Because they need to do this for our protection. So direct from the labs in China with the help of the American experts like Fauci. We almost put the world out.

Should we listen to those guys?

Or the experts that brought us masking, and Home Depot is absolutely safe. But Ace Hardware wants to kill grandma. Which are the experts that we want? That we want to make sure that we have in our lives? That they don't answer, or can't be fired by anybody. Because I'm pretty full up on the experts, myself. I don't know.

But you're right. These experts would keep the president in check, and they would keep Congress in check. And you in check!

And the Supreme Court, which would be really great. You know, and you know who else they would keep in check? The people.

So, wow, it seems like we would just be a nation run by experts, and our Constitution would be out the window, because that's a fourth branch!

And if you don't believe me, that, you know, these experts never pay a price. Can you name a single expert?

Give me a name of an expert, that gave us any of the things that I just told you about.

Give me the name. I mean, give me the name of one of them. Give me the name of one of them that went to jail. Give me the name of one expert that has been discredited.

You know, where your name will be mud in this town. Do you know where that came from?

Your name is going to be mud. It's not M-U-D. It's M-U-D-D, that comes from Dr. Samuel Mudd. Okay? He was a docks man. He was an expert. He was that set John Wilkes Booth' broken leg. He made crutches. He let him stay there for a while. He claimed he didn't know him, but he did know him.

In fact, one of the reasons they proved it.

Is because when he pulled the boots off -- when he pulled both of his boots off, right there, in the back, you couldn't have missed it. It said "John Wilkes Booth."

He's like, I have no idea who he was.

Yeah. Well, you knew him in advance. This was a predetermined outpost where he could stay. It's clear you could know him.

The guy was still discredited, we still use his name today. Your name will be mud in this town.

And we think that it's like dirt, mixed with water kind of mud. No, it's M-U-D-D, Dr. Mudd. The expert that was so discredited, went to jail, paid for his part of the assassination of -- of Lincoln.

Give me the name of one of the experts in the last 100 years, that has brought us any of the trials and the tribulations. The things that have almost brought us to our knees. Give me the name of one of them. Can't!

Because once an expert class, they don't answer to anyone. So they never go to jail.

Wow! Doesn't that sound familiar. People never going to jail!

There's a rant that's going around right now, that I did in 2020. And everybody is like, see. He's talking about Pam Bondi.

No, no. I got to play this for you, a little later on in the program. But I want to get to the experts and what the Constitution actually says about that. Because you don't need my opinion. What you need are the actual facts. So you can stand up and say, yeah. I think Ketanji Brown Jackson is an idiot. Okay?

And she's really not an expert on anything. Especially the Constitution. You need the facts, on what the Founders said. Because the Founders would be absolutely against what they did in 1935.

Because that just -- what does it do?

It just sets up a fourth branch of government.

EXPLAINED: Why the Warner-Netflix/Paramount Merger is DANGEROUS for All of Us

The biggest media merger in modern history is unfolding, and Glenn Beck warns it’s the most dangerous consolidation of power America has faced in decades. With six corporations already controlling 90% of the nation’s news and entertainment, a Warner-Netflix or Warner-Paramount megacorporation would create an unstoppable information cartel. Glenn exposes how “too big to fail” thinking is repeating itself, how global elites and “experts” are tightening their grip, and why handing our entire cultural narrative to a handful of companies is a direct threat to freedom. The hour is late — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

GLENN: By the way, it's never good when you consolidate power. It's never good.

And what is going on now, with this Netflix Warner Brothers paramount stuff, I don't care if Larry Ellison is a conservative or not.

No one should have that much power.

I did a show, gosh, four years ago. I don't even remember when I did it.

We looked it up. In the 1980s. 19 percent of American media was owned by over 50 companies.

Forty years later, 90 percent of the media is watched and controlled by six companies.

National Amusements, the Red Stone Family controls CBS, CMT, MTV, Nickelodeon, gaming and internet. Simon & Schuster Books. That's all one.

Disney, ABC, ESPN, History Channel, Marvel, Star Wars, video games and print.

TimeWarner controls CNN, Warner Brothers, HBO, Turner, video games, internet, and print media like TIME. Comcast, MSNBC, NBC.

CNBC, Telemundo, the Internet.

New Corp. Fox. National Geographic. Ton of others. Sony, with a ton of movies, music and more. The big six. They're valued at nearly $500 billion.

Now, this is something I put together five years ago. So I don't even know. This is probably not even valid even today.

And now we're talking about Netflix, Warner Brothers. Paramount, into all of these one giant corporation. It's wrong! It's wrong!

We can't keep putting all -- everything into the hands of just a few! It's what's killing us!

We've got to spread this around. We can't -- the government cannot okay mergers like this.

They're big enough he has

What happened -- what happened when the banks went under, or almost went under in '08. What did they say the problem was?

They said the banks are too big to fail.

Too big to fail.

Because they were providing all of the services, everybody needs. All the time. And there's only a handful of them.

So if they fall, then everything falls.

Right?

That was the problem. So what did we do to fix it?

We made them bigger!

We let them merge with other banks, and gobble up other things!

And started taking on the local banks.

And so now, your banks that were too big to fail. Are now even bigger. And their failure would be even worse!

What is wrong with us?

Seriously, we're not this stupid.

We're not this stupid.

I think we're just this comfortable.

We just think the experts have a plan. No. The experts don't have a plan.

Their plan is stupid. Their plan is to make it bigger.

Every time it fails. Make it bigger. Push it up.

Make it more global.

No. Haven't you seen what the entire world is like?

The entire world is over-leveraged. The entire world is on the edge.

The entire world is being redesigned.
So what do we do? We don't allow them to make things bigger! We need to start taking more individual and local control of things. They're making it bigger. Which will make the problem bigger. And make the problem so big, you won't be able to do anything about it, because all the experts. All of the heads. They'll all -- there will be six of them. And they will all be sitting in one room.

And they will all be making the instigations. And with them, making those decisions will be all the heads of all the countries around the world, that you're not going to have a say in any of that. They're already trying to do it with the WEF.

But if -- if the Supreme Court says, no, experts matter. And the president can't fire them. You will not have any control over anything!

We're at this place, where we can back out. We can turn around.

We can do it.

It's not too late. But the hour is growing very late.

I don't know about you, I don't like being this.

Up to the edge, you know what I mean?

I would rather have lots of breathing room, between me and the edge of the cliff.

But we don't have that anymore.

Everything has to be done right.

And we have to pay attention.

And the worst thing we can do is make things bigger.

Dream big, think small.
