EXPLAINED: How far-left AGENTS OF CHAOS are destroying us all

A recent poll from the State Policy Network Survey shows that Americans are BEYOND worried about nearly everything: Food affordability and shortages, inflation, rising energy prices, and possible nuclear war. But living in this kind of fear is destructive to not only our health, Glenn says, but our country as well. So what’s causing the fear? In this clip, Glenn uses recent stories to show how far-left ‘agents of chaos’ are to blame. They’re only concerned about their own power, he explains, and they’ll shut down anyone who disagrees. So it’s time to call them out. ‘There’s a great evil happening in our country,’ Glenn says. ‘And it’s easy to define. We just have to start saying it out loud.’

GLENN: Let me give you a couple of stories here that I think are -- say everything that you need to say.

There's a new poll out. The state policy network survey. And they are asking, in this national poll, what are you concerned about. And they found that 68 percent of the people are concerned about, you know, being able to afford their food.

They are concerned about inflation -- inflation. They are concerned about rising energy prices. And job loss.

However, the researchers found that 71 percent say they worry about international conflicts escalating into a nuclear war.

70 percent are worried, that there will be food shortages. 88 percent of respondents say they're concerned about energy shortages.

79 percent say they worry about the collapse of the US government. We are more concerned today about what shoe is going to drop next. This is the reason America has always been successful.

The people have been good. As a nation, we're not making good choices.

So that's faltering. We have always been blessed. Because we have an endless supply of cheap energy. That's going away.

We've had people who wanted to work and innovate. Where is that attitude?

So we are now worried about the things that are causing our instability, but we're doing a lot of the instability-making, you know. If your kids aren't out working, if you're not holding down that moral fort in your own life, and in your own family. Your kids are going to get lost, to riots in the streets, and everything else.

And the collapse of the US government happens, and that's the final straw. People put money into America, over most places in the world. Because we're stable.

But we're unstable now. Now, I want you to listen. Because there is a -- there is somebody that commented on this. Who is with the new state policy network. And -- and he is with the morning consult.

And he said, if fear comes from political issue, like climate change. You can see these symptoms come out. And how people talk about the issues or debate it.

Often debates that are just shouting matches are people trying to find a way to release the anxiety they feel. Mental health issues are another consequence of long-term fear.

Given the rise in mental health conditions, and the way we engage in political discussions in the US, it might be fair to say, we aren't dealing with our fears, particularly well.

And listen to this: And need to find ways to cut off sources, that feed them, for political gain or profit.

What -- what does that mean, exactly? What are you -- huh?

Now, I don't know exactly what he meant by that. But my mind goes immediately to, we have to censor people.

That is the worst thing we can do. The reason why we have conspiracy theories, is, one, nobody is being held accountable. Two, everybody seems to be dirty, because they're not transparent.

Three, when questions -- or answers to questions don't make sense, and no one will show you any kind of transparency. You know, hey, I learned this. You know, in second grade math. Show your work. When they won't show their work, and you don't have trust, and their answers don't make sense. I'm sorry.

There's got to be another answer. And when you ask, is there another reason, this is going on?

They silence you. It's the worst thing that can happen. If you want an open society, to quote George Soros.

So protecting speech from Government Interference Act. This is something the Republicans in the House oversight committee, have tried to pass. They're trying to pass it now.

And it prohibits political activity by federal employees, to prohibit the use of official authority to influence or coerce any interactive computer service. Or to remove or suppress lawful speech. Well, the Democrats are very upset about this.

They say, this is the Putin Protection Act. I am so sick of hearing this.

This will just empower election deniers. COVID deniers. And white supremacists.

Shut up. Shut up.

We seem to have done fine since Woodrow Wilson. We had a little blip in the '50s, where we were putting people like Dalton Trump in jail. For what he believed.

But other than that, we've been pretty good. With freedom of speech.

Let me give you -- let me give you some examples. Nike has the unmitigated gall, to send a letter to the Portland mayor, at the end of the day, wheeler, and city officials, ask community Nike store.

Now, this thing has been closed for months. Why?

Because you don't arrest anybody who is stealing. So people come in, and your private security, cannot touch or stop anyone.

You can only report it to the police. But the police aren't showing up. So they've gone and said, hey. We are so with BLM, and the all things that have destroyed law and order in this country. We are so with you. We will continue to fund that.

But could we fund some police too?

Oh, good. Some private Nike police. Wouldn't that be great?

So they want to directly fund full-time police officers.

Well, the city is saying, no. You can't do that. Because, why?

We have a shortage of police officers. We're already paying them over time, just to do regular stuff. We don't have enough to then put them at the Nike story.

And Nike is saying, well, I can't open a store in your -- I mean, we already have been closed two years. We want to come back, Portland, but it's too dangerous for our employees, and we're hemorrhaging product.

Now, let me ask you. What's the problem there? What's the cause of that problem?

The cause of that problem is all of the ridiculous bullcrap about the police being reimagined.

About -- about defending the perpetrator. Well, I don't know. How did they grow up? What kind of hassles have they had in their life?

Shut up! Breaking the law. Justice is blind. I don't care if you're a leper, that's just been healed by Jesus. And I should really like you. You broke the law, you're going to jail.

No. We know that. We know that our police, are not able to do their job, because the left has turned America against the police.

Did you know that 50 percent of murders in the US are going unsolved now? 50 percent.

If there's somebody you want to off, now would probably be a good time. At least even odds. Okay?

50 percent.

Now, it's called homicide clearance rates, when they clear a murder. You know, the rate at which they're solving them.

It dropped from 71 percent, to an all-time low of 50 percent. Okay. This is according to the FBI.

All right. So what's the problem with that? Well, they would like you to understand between 1919 -- sorry, 2019 and 2020, law enforcement solved 1200 more homicides than the previous year.

Wait a minute. I thought it just dropped. Well, I mean, they're solving more crimes, but homicides increased by 30 percent.

So they're not, they're overwhelmed. And why are they overwhelmed?

Because there's not enough qualified police. Why is that?

BLM. And all that bullcrap, that you knew was bullcrap. And so did your neighbor, who is a Democrat, and voted Democrats.

But wouldn't say it, couldn't say it, because they were all wrapped up in politics.

So we have abandoned common sense. And now, murder rate is up. And you've got even odds. Fifty-50 chance of getting caught, if you kill somebody.

Huh. Huh.

By the way, national clearance rates for rape, were 30 percent.

So you've got a 70 percent chance of getting away with rape. Assault, 47 percent.

Robbery, they catch you about 27 percent of the time.

Burglaries, theft, and arsons. Have the lowest clearance rate, between 14 and 21.

You go ahead. Keep your store open there in Portland. You can't do it!

You can't do it.

So, what is causing this?

It is being caused by all of the lies, that we have been told, and we have told ourselves.

Well, society can go on.

I mean, yes. We shouldn't have allowed that. But we're reimagining things.

No. You don't need to reimagine law and order. We've been working on the law and order thing, for a long time.

What works? Well, not gulags. Not -- not police, that will just beat you on the street corner.

We don't want any of that. We want equal justice. Now, we've not gotten there. Because there's always somebody, that somebody has a problem with.

Well, I don't like them, because of their race.

Okay. Are we solving that? No.

Because what's happening is, more people are being made racist, just against a different race.

I thought the objective here was to stop racism. That's not the objective. You know it, and I know it.

Because this antiracist nonsense states that. But we don't talk about that. You can't, or you'll be silenced.

More in just a second.
(music)
So how are you sleeping? Huh?

After all that, how are you sleeping?

If your wife has been sharpening knives and she's not too happy with you, if she heard today's show and she is like, 50 percent chance. That is worth it.

Don't take Relief Sleep. Okay. Stay awake. Sleep at work or something. But if you are desperate for a solution to your sleep, may I recommend Relief Sleep. This is coming from Relief Factor. It's amazing. And just like regular Relief Factor, that you take for pain. Relief Factor sleep is 100 percent drug-free.

I have -- I have never taken a sleep product, where you don't feel it the next day.

I've had -- what the? Melatonin, right?

It doesn't work for me. You know, I take handfuls of it, and it doesn't do anything for me. Relief sleep does. I know from experience.

Sara is looking at me like, you probably shouldn't take handfuls of it. I don't know. More is always better. Oh, take two. Why not take four.

Anyway.

There might be a reason why I'm an alcoholic. Let's not think too long on that. Your first bottle of relief sleep is 19.95. Twenty minutes to get the feeling of complete relaxation and contentment. As you drift away at night, you'll wake up in the morning, refreshed. You do not feel this in your system.

Unleash the power of great sleep by calling 800-4-Relief. That's 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. Or ReliefFactor.com. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
All right. Let me play -- let me play a couple of things here. Let's first hit the -- hmm. Let me go with the woman who has lost her children, to fentanyl because of the border.

VOICE: 100,000 die every year, and nothing is being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up! Not down.

And you talk about children being taken away from their parents! My children have been taken away from me.

GLENN: Stop. This is -- this is a woman testifying yesterday in front of Congress, two of her children were killed by fentanyl. Two.

The -- the problem with fentanyl is just the beginning. We are in a replay of the opioid wars.

That Britain did to China. They're doing it to us. And they're on our border. Shipping of these things to the drug cartels. And it's coming in, like never before.

And our government and our press is telling us, the border is secure.

It's not secure. And you know it, or our children would not be dying from fentanyl overdoses at the rate they are.

The border is not secure. We know it. And I don't care who tells you. The G.O.P. or the DNC. It is an out-and-out lie.

I don't accept it. Children are dying. America is being destroyed from within. Our government is complicit in the trafficking of the drugs. But also the trafficking of humans.

The trafficking -- you know, we know Iran has sent terrorists, that we have by chance caught. That are on the FBI's most wanted list for terrorism.

We haven't even begun to pay for the open border through terrorism. But mark my words, it's coming.

We must stop accepting the lies. And have the courage to say, it's just not true.

I'm sorry. The emperor has no clothes.

More in just a second.
(music)

GLENN: I am so happy to have the sponsors that I do. And to be in a -- you have put me in a position, to where I can choose my sponsors.

And I turned down much more than I accept.

The Tunnel2Towers Foundation is an extraordinary charity. They are the best of us. They have taken a terrible event of 9/11, where 3,000 people died. And they have dedicated themselves for the last 20-plus years.

To keep that story alive. But also, help the war heroes, the people who have lost their lives. Lost limbs.

The police officers and the fire department, that are critically injured or die. They take care of those families.

But they also are teaching our -- our elementary school kids and our high school kids and probably many more, what 9/11 really was, discovering heroes. It is a great program.

Please, donate, and help them do their job. Eleven dollars a month is what they're asking at T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

STU: Head over to BlazeTV.com/Glenn. And subscribe now with the promo code Glenn.
(OUT AT 9:29 AM)

GLENN: We better make up our minds on war, pretty quickly.

China is now considering arming Russia.

Did you know that Biden quadrupled US troop presence in Taiwan.

Quadrupled it?

Also Biden in talks with Poland to increase our boots on the ground in Poland.

Russian state TV is declaring the United States has declared war over on Russia.

And all of the things I just said to you, have happened in the last seven days.

We are marching towards real trouble.

When will they consult with us? Or Congress?

When? Have you made up your mind, and are you comfortable with the outcome, that it might mean sending your kids overseas?

Tonight, is a time for choosing. Are we willing to risk an all-out war in Ukraine?

I don't want the government to continue this escalation. But I do want to understand their side of it. Tonight, on the Wednesday night special, I'm talking to real lions on both sides.

I have invited Jerry Boykin. The -- what? Two-star general Jerry Boykin to join me. He is for the weapons and what we're doing in Iran -- or, in Ukraine.

And I have Andy Biggs on.

And he disagrees with even the funding of it. I want to hear those two separately.

I want to talk to each of them. Get Jerry's, you know, pros and cons.

And get Biggs' pros and cons. And let you actually decide. Hopefully, this debate will be strong enough, that maybe even I would change my mind. I don't know.

The debate, is it time to stop arming Ukraine tonight?

9:00 p.m. BlazeTV.

Use BlazeTV.com/Glenn, and promo code Glenn, and you will save.

STU: Right.

After a brand-new Stu does America!

I think it's interesting -- I'm interested to hear Jerry Boykin's perspective on this. Because I think to summarize it as, does he agree with what the Biden administration is doing, is probably completely unfair.

GLENN: No. But I believe he believes that we need to show force here. I don't know how far. But he is hawkish on this.

STU: Right. Yeah.

He -- he believes admission is important. And there's something to gain there for the good of the United States.

GLENN: Right.

So I want to know where that -- where does that line end with him?

STU: And what are we doing wrong, right?

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

STU: Even if that mission is correct, what are we screwing up?

GLENN: By the way, the work that we're doing now at Blaze TV is so incredibly critical. You know, we don't ever talk about this.

But as far as people touched -- you know, people that are hearing, watching. Listening. Podcast. Radio. Television. Internet. All of this stuff.

I'm having the best year of my career.

And that is saying something. You know, when we left -- oh, you'll never be. That's not the same. Fame has changed, or -- or exposure has changed.

We're not seeing just these few people on TV. You have a whole host. But we have expanded our reach, dramatically in the last about three years.

And I can't --

STU: And our waistlines.

GLENN: And our waistlines. And I cannot thank you enough, for helping us build this network. We are just starting to do what I think are the work, that this network was born to do.

So join us, please. And, by the way, there's all kinds of extra things that you get. And we're working hard on coming up with some new things. We just started one, a couple of months ago, called off the record. It is a private Q and A, exclusively only for Blaze TV subscribers.

And the reason why we do it, only for Blaze TV subscribers, is because I don't want -- I -- it's not for public consumption.

It's for us. And I want you to feel comfortable, asking any question.

And I want to feel comfortable answering any question. So whatever topic is on your mind. We'll address it.

Today at 4:00 p.m. Eastern, I'm going to be doing this for the Blaze TV subscribers. I hope that's you.

If not, join us. BlazeTV.com/Glenn. Use the promo code Glenn and save.

But all our hosts do this from time to time. Today is my turn to do it.

And I hope to talk to you, today. 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

Only for Blaze TV subscribers.

Okay. I -- I want to -- I want to go back to what we were talking about. You know, the -- the -- the problems, that you are worried about, according to this new survey, are enormous.

And I think reasonable.

We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. People can't live like that.

It's very -- it's destructive to our health, and our country.

We can't live like this. So what is the cause of all of this?

Well, I would say the cause of it, is a lack of trust.

Why? Because we have a lack of faith in the truth of God. The eternal truths. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. Love your neighbor. All that stuff is out.

And we are going -- we are worshiping, literally, I believe, doing ancient Moloch rituals in our lives.

Evil thinks it's winning. It's not going to. But thinks it's winning. And it is causing chaos. Now, who are the agents of chaos?

Well, I will tell you, the ones who are the agents of chaos, are fighting to limit speech.

That will only make things worse. Okay.

So some of the problems that we are facing, let's start with medicine. You hear that Amazon is now buying up huge medical company and -- Amazon will have control of your medical records. That doesn't seem like a good thing to me.

Because they always seem to miss all of the bullets. But Amazon, its original investor. One of its original investors was the CIA, only?

They also are the cloud for our Pentagon and everything else.

And where is -- where are our doctors going?

The American College of OB-GYN. Is now banning pro-life doctors.

So, again, this is like banning your free speech. They don't want any diversity. They say this is all about diversity. But not where it counts.

Where it counts is what people think, and who they are!

That's real diversity. Skin color makes no difference. I don't -- I can't believe, we're people who grew up with Martin Luther King, I have to explain this to you.

It's the content of your character. That matters. You care about skin color, you have become the racist.

So now, they're -- imagine where this is going.

Now if you're pro-life, the college of OB-GYN doesn't want you.

What will that lead to, when there's no one in that crew saying, wait a minute, can we -- can we step on the brakes here for a second?

The FBI, medicine. FBI came out, this is Christopher Ray. When was the last time Christopher Ray just got up on the stand and just vomited information?

Well, he did yesterday. He reiterated, FBI has done a lot of stuff. And we think it's really, the most likely that the Chinese lab leak was the one that caused that.

Excuse me?

Excuse me? People were canceled for that. People's lives. Doctors. Their entire careers, destroyed.

Because that is absolutely not true. And how dare you. You racist!

How dare you. Let's just keep going back. How dare you for saying that, because you're a racist. Oh, my gosh.

How -- how dare you say this about abortion. Because it's racist.

How dare you. How dare you say that the border is a mess. You racist!

All of it treks back to the same agents of chaos.

All of it!

When -- when are we going to get this, and all of us, Republican, Democrats, and independents say, to hell with politics. I don't care about politics.

This is a universal lie. So the reason why he -- they're now coming out and saying, yeah. Chinese lab leak, I think, because they're playing a war game with China.

If China wasn't thinking about arming Russia, they would be saying this. They would still be saying.

We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. They're not looking for the truth. Where is the truth with Fauci, and the Wuhan lab?

Where is EcoHealth? And the Wuhan lab. No mention of that. No, no, no, no.

Just the lab in Wuhan. Just the Chinese. Think Chinese. Think Chinese. That's racist.

And Elon Musk came out yesterday and said, yeah. And the Chinese said that he was breaking the pot of China, which is an expression for the Chinese of don't bite the hand that feeds you.

And they want him to stop drawing attention to the origins. Uh-huh. Fauci is still saying, no. We'll never know. We will never know.

Agents of chaos. They have one thing in common. They're all looking for their own power, and they're all trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them.

What is causing the stress in your life?

According to the latest poll everything!

Because you don't know what will happen tomorrow! Well, that's crazy conspiracy.

Really?

Because if I told you ten years ago, that they were going to say that men could have babies too, you would have said, how dare you say that. You're just using hyperbolic language. And you're going to get everybody stirred up.

And now?

You're silenced if you say that's not true.

Nine-year-old child taught by Debra Rosenquist, at Terryville Road Elementary School, Long Island, identifies as a girl, but was being called a boy's name and given male pronouns in class. The damning lawsuit now wielded by her parents, claims that the teacher started call the fifth grader Leo, using he/him pronouns in class, October 21, unbeknownst to the girl's parents.

It was only months later, in January 22, when the girl was caught drawing a picture of a suicidal girl with the words, I want to kill myself, that the parents finally went, wait a minute.

What -- over what?

And went to school.

They said that they had heard their child being called Leo by her friends before. But that was in reference to an astrological sign. And they didn't associate it with the male. Oh, my gosh.

It was then that the parents believed something wasn't right. They decided to look into her. They found that this teacher, on the day when the school asked pupils and teachers to wear blue in support of two police officers who were shot and killed, the teacher instead wore a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.

Gee, let's trace it back again. Can it be traced back?

Oh, yes. They revealed that Rosenquist had not only gone beyond the curriculum, teaching children about transgender. But actively encouraged the fifth graders to try being gay. Superintendent Jennifer Quinn and the school's principle both admitted to the parents in a meeting, that they knew Rosenquist was peddling this mentality in the classroom.

But because she was -- because she was tender. Tenured, they couldn't do anything about it.

Gee, teacher's unions. Huh.

She was putting books into the classroom, that were not in the curriculum, an LGBTQI2. I'm neither. She read to students also, When Aidan Becomes a Brother, which is about transitioning surgery and hormones.

She was telling the kids, that -- by the way, that book has just been banned in Florida. Oh, the outrage.

She was telling the kids, try -- try being gay. Just try being gay. Just try it out. Who knows, you might like it.

They transferred the girl to another class. But apparently, she was being bullied there, because I -- quote, I would want to kill myself too, if I didn't know if I were a boy or a girl. Literally, what is she?

This is from the kids. Literally, what is she?

Boy, girl. One day her name is Leo. And the next day her name is like, what? What is it? I don't know. What to call it.

They have dehumanized a child and taught that it, is a proper pronoun, for people you don't know the sex of.

It! There's a great evil happening in our country. And it is easy to define. We just have to start saying it, out loud.

Confronting evil: Bill O'Reilly's insight on Charlie Kirk's enduring legacy

Bill O’Reilly joins Glenn Beck with a powerful prediction about Charlie Kirk’s legacy. Evil tried to destroy his movement, Bill says, but – as his new book, “Confronting Evil,” lays out – evil will just end up destroying itself once more…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Mr. Bill O'Reilly, welcome to the program, how are you, sir?

BILL: Good, Beck, thanks for having me back. I appreciate it. How have you been?

GLENN: Last week was really tough. I know it was tough for you and everybody else.

But, you know -- I haven't -- I haven't seen anything.

BILL: Family okay? All of that?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Family is okay. Family is okay.

BILL: Good question good. That's the most important thing.

GLENN: It is.

So, Bill, what do you make of this whole Charlie Kirk thing. What happened, and where are we headed?

BILL: So my analysis is different for everybody else, and those that know me for so long. About a year ago, I was looking for a topic -- it was a contract to do another book. And I said, you know what's happening in America, and around the world. Was a rise in evil. It takes a year to research and write these books.

And not since the 1930s, had I seen that happen, to this extent. And in the 1930s, of course, you would have Tojo and Hitler and Mussolini and Franco and all these guys. And it led to 100 million dead in World War II. The same thing, not to the extent.

But the same thing was --
GLENN: Yet.
BILL: -- bubbling in the world, and in the United States.

I decided to write a book. The book comes out last Tuesday. And on Wednesday, Putin lobs missiles into Poland.

Ultra dangerous.

And a few hours later, Charlie Kirk is assassinated.

And one of the interviewers said to me last week, your -- your book is haunting. Is haunting.

And I think that's extremely accurate. Because that's what evil does.

And in the United States, we have so many distractions. The social media.

People create around their own lives.

Sports. Whatever it may be. That we look away.

Now, Charlie Kirk was an interesting fellow. Because at a very young age, he was mature enough to understand that he wanted to take a stand in favor of traditional America and Judeo Christian philosophy.

He decided that he wanted to do that.

You know, and when I was 31 or whatever, I was lucky I wasn't in the penitentiary. And I believe you were in the penitentiary.
(laughter)
So he was light years ahead of us.

GLENN: Yes, he was.

BILL: And he put it into motion. All right? Now, most good people, even if you disagree with what Mr. Kirk says on occasion, you admire that. That's the spirit of America. That you have a belief system, that you go out and try to promote that belief system, for the greater good of the country. That's what it is.

That's what Charlie Kirk did.

And he lost his life.

By doing it!

So when you essentially break all of this down. You take the emotion away, all right?

Which I have to do, in my job. You see it as another victory for evil.

But it really isn't.

And this is the ongoing story.

This is the most important story. So when you read my book, Confronting Evil, you'll see that all of these heinous individuals, Putin's on the cover. Mao. Hitler.

Ayatollah Khomeini. And then there are 14 others inside the book. They all destroy themselves.

Evil always destroys itself. But it takes so many people with it. So this shooter destroyed his own family.

And -- and Donald Trump, I talked to him about it last week in Yankee stadium. And Trump is a much different guy than most people think.

GLENN: He is.

JASON: He destroyed his own mother and father and his two brothers.

That's what he did. In addition to the Kirk family!

So evil spreads. Now, if Americans pay attention and come to the conclusion that I just stated, it will be much more difficult for evil to operate openly.

And that's what I think is going to happen.

There's going to be a ferocious backlash against the progressive left in particular.

To stop it, and I believe that is what Mr. Kirk's legacy is going to be.

GLENN: I -- I agree with you on all of these fronts.

I wonder though, you know, it took three, or if you count JFK, four assassinations in the '60s, to confront the evil if you will.

Before people really woke up and said, enough is enough!

And then you have the big Jesus revolution after that.

Is -- I hate to say this. But is -- as far gone as we are, is one assassination enough to wake people up?

JOHN: Some people. Some people will never wake up.

They just don't want to live in the real world, Beck. And it's never been easier to do that with the social media and the phones and the computers.

And you're never going to get them back.

But you don't need them. So let's just be very realistic here on the Glenn Beck show.

Let's run it down.

The corporate media is finished.

In America. It's over.

And you will see that play out the next five years.

Because the corporate media invested so much of its credibility into hating Donald Trump.

And the hate is the key word.

You will find this interesting, Beck. For the first time in ten years, I've been invited to do a major thing on CBS, today.

I will do it GE today. With major Garrett.

GLENN: Wow.

BILL: Now, that only happened because Skydance bought CBS. And Skydance understands the brand CBS is over, and they will have to rehabilitate the whole thing. NBC has not come to that conclusion yet, but it will have to.

And ABC just does the weather. I mean, that's all they care about. Is it snowing in Montana? Okay? The cables are all finished. Even Fox.

Once Trump leaves the stage, there's nowhere for FNC to go. Because they've invested so much in Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

So the fact of the matter is, the corporate media is over in America. That takes a huge cudgel out of the hands of the progressive movement.

Because the progressive movement was dependent on the corporate media to advance its cause. That's going to end, Beck.

GLENN: Well, I would hope that you're right.

Let me ask you about --

BILL: When am I wrong?

When am I wrong?

You've known me for 55 years. When have I been wrong?

GLENN: Okay. All right. All right. We're not here to argue things like that.

So tell me about Skydance. Because isn't Skydance Chinese?

BILL: No! It's Ellison. Larry Ellison, the second richest guy in the world. He owns Lanai and Hawaii, the big tech guy and his son is running it.

GLENN: Yeah, okay.

I though Skydance. I thought that was -- you know them.

BILL: Yeah.

And they -- they're not ideological, but they were as appalled as most of us who pay attention at the deterioration of the network presentations.

So --

GLENN: You think that they could.

BILL: 60 Minutes used to be the gold standard.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

BILL: And it just -- it -- you know, you know, I don't know if you watch it anymore.

GLENN: I don't either.

So do you think they can actually turn CBS around, or is it just over?

BILL: I don't know. It's very hard to predict, because so many people now bail. I've got a daughter 26, and a son, 22.

They never, ever watched network television.

And you've got -- it's true. Right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

They don't watch --

BILL: They're not going to watch The Voice. The dancing with this. The juggling with that. You know, I think they could do a much better job in their news presentations.

GLENN: Yeah. Right.

BILL: Because what they did, is banish people like Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly.

Same voices, with huge followings.

Huge!

All right?

We couldn't get on there.

That's why Colbert got fired. Because Colbert wouldn't -- refused to put on any non-progressive voice, when they were talking about the country.

GLENN: I know.

BILL: Well, it's not -- I'm censoring it.

GLENN: Yeah, but it's not that he was fired because he wouldn't do that. He was fired because that led to horrible ratings. Horrible ratings.

BILL: Yes, it was his defiance.

GLENN: Yes.

BILL: Fallon has terrible ratings and so does Kimmel. But Colbert was in your face, F you, to the people who were signing his paycheck.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

BILL: Look, evil can only exist if the mechanisms of power are behind it.

And that's when you read the front -- I take them one by one. And Putin is the most important chapter by far.

GLENN: Why?

BILL: Because Putin would use nuclear weapon.

He wouldn't. He's a psychopath.

And I'm -- on Thursday night, I got a call from the president's people saying, would I meet the president at Yankee stadium for the 9/11 game?

And I said, when a president calls and asks you to meet them, sure.

GLENN: I'll be there. What time?

BILL: It will take me three days to get into Yankee stadium, on Long Island. But I'll start now.

GLENN: Especially because the president is coming. But go ahead.

BILL: Anyway, that was a very, I think that Mr. Trump values my opinion. And it was -- we did talk about Putin.

And the change in Putin. And I had warned him, that Putin had changed from the first administration, where Trump controlled Putin to some extent.

Now he's out of control. Because that's what always happens.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: It happened with Hitler. It happened with Mao. It happened with the ayatollah. It happened with Stalin. Right now. They get worse and worse and worse and worse. And then they blow up.

And that's where Putin is! But he couldn't do any of that, without the assent of the Russian people. They are allowing him to do this, to kill women and children. A million Russian casualties for what! For what! Okay?

So that's why this book is just in the stratosphere. And I was thinking object, oh. Because people want to understand evil, finally. Finally.

They're taking a hard look at it, and the Charlie Kirk assassination was an impetus to do that.

GLENN: Yeah. And I think it's also an impetus to look at the good side.

I mean, I think Charlie was just not a neutral -- a neutral character. He was a force for good. And for God.

And I think that -- that combination is almost the Martin Luther King combination. Where you have a guy who is speaking up for civil rights.

But then also, speaking up for God. And speaking truth, Scripturally.

And I think that combination still, strangely, I wouldn't have predicted it. But strangely still works here in America, and I think it's changed everything.

Bill, it's always food to talk to you. Thank you so much for being on. I appreciate it.

It's Bill O'Reilly. The name of the book, you don't want to miss. Is confronting evil. And he takes all of these really, really bad guys on. One by one. And shows you, what happens if you don't do something about it. Confronting evil. Bill O'Reilly.

The difference between debate and celebrating death

There’s a big difference between firing someone, like a teacher, for believing children shouldn’t undergo trans surgery and firing a teacher who celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk. Glenn Beck explains why the latter is NOT “cancel culture.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I got an email from somebody that says, Glenn, in the wake of Charlie's assassination, dozens of teachers, professors and professionals are being suspended or fired for mocking, or even celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.

Critics say conservatives are now being hypocritical because you oppose cancel culture. But is this the same as rose an losing her job over a crude joke. Or is it celebrating murder, and that's something more serious?

For many, this isn't about cancellation it's about trust. If a teacher is entrusted with children or a doctor entrusted with patients, publicly celebrates political violence, have they not yet disqualified themselves from those roles? Words matter. But cheering a death is an action. Is there any consequence for this? Yes. There is.

So let's have that conversation here for a second.

Is every -- is every speech controversy the same?

The answer to that is clearly no.

I mean, we've seen teachers and pastors and doctors and ordinary citizens lose their job now, just for saying they don't believe children under 18 should undergo transgender surgeries. Okay? Lost their job. Chased out.

That opinion, whether you agree or disagree is a moral and medical judgment.

And it is a matter of policy debate. It is speech in the public square.

I have a right to say, you're mutilating children. Okay. You have a right to say, no. We're not. This is the best practices. And then we can get into the silences of it. And we don't shout down the other side.

Okay? Now, on the other hand, you have Charlie Kirk's assassination. And we've seen teachers and professors go online and be celebrate.

Not criticize. Not argue policy. But celebrate that someone was murdered.

Some have gone so far and said, it's not a tragedy. It's a victory. Somebody else, another professor said, you reap what you sow.

Well, let me ask you: Are these two categories of free speech the same?

No! They're not.

Here's the difference. To say, I believe children should not be allowed to have gender surgeries, before 18. That is an attempt, right or wrong. It doesn't matter which side you are.

That is an attempt to protect life. Protect children. And guide society.

It's entering the debate about the role of medicine. The right of parents. And the boundaries of childhood. That's what that is about. To say Charlie Kirk's assassination is a good thing, that's not a debate. That's not even an idea. That's rejoicing in violence. It's glorifying death.

There's no place in a civil society for that kind of stuff. There's not. And it's a difference that actually matters.

You know, our Founders fought for free speech because they believed as Jefferson said, that air can be tolerated where truth is left free to combat it.

So I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, at all. I don't think you do either. I hope you don't. Otherwise, you should go back to read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Error can be tolerated where truth is left to be free to combat it.

But when speech shifts from debating ideas to celebrating death, doesn't that cease to be the pursuit of truth and instead, just become a glorification of evil?

I know where I stand on that one. Where do you stand?

I mean, if you go back and you look at history, in colonial matter -- in colonial America, if you were to go against the parliament and against the king, those words were dangerous. They were called treason. But they were whys. They were arguments about liberty and taxation and the rights of man.

And the Founders risked their lives against the dictator to say those things.

Now, compare that to France in 1793.

You Thomas Paine, one of or -- one of our founder kind of. On the edges of our founders.

He thought that what was happening in France is exactly like the American Revolution.

Washington -- no. It wasn't.

There the crowds. They didn't gather to argue. Okay? They argued to cheer the guillotine they didn't want the battle of ideas.

They wanted blood. They wanted heads to roll.

And roll they did. You know, until the people who were screaming for the heads to roll, shouted for blood, found that their own heads were rolling.

Then they turned around on that one pretty quickly.

Think of Rome.

Cicero begged his countrymen to preserve the republic through reason, law, and debate. Then what happened?

The mob started cheering assassinations.

They rejoiced that enemies were slaughtered.

They were being fed to the lions.

And the republic fell into empire.

And liberty was lost!

Okay. So now let me bring this back to Charlie Kirk here for a second.

If there's a professor that says, I don't believe children should have surgeries before adulthood, is that cancel culture, when they're fired?

Yes! Yes, it is.

Because that is speech this pursuit of truth.

However imperfect, it is speech meant to protect children, not to harm them. You also cannot be fired for saying, I disagree with that.

If you are telling, I disagree with that. And I will do anything to shut you down including assassination! Well, then, that's a different story.

What I teacher says, I'm glad Charlie Kirk is dead, is that cancel culture, if they're fired?

Or is that just society saying, you know, I don't think I can trust my kid to -- to that guy.

Or that woman.

I know, that's not an enlightening mind.

Somebody who delights in political murder.

I don't want them around my children! Scripture weighs in here too.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Matthew.

What does it reveal about the heart of a teacher who celebrates assassination?

To me, you go back to Scripture. Whoa unto them that call good evil -- evil good and good evil.

A society that will shrug on speech like this, say society that has lost its moral compass.

And I believe we still have a moral compass.

Now, our free speech law doesn't protect both. Absolutely. Under law. Absolutely.

Neither one of them should go to jail.

Neither should be silenced by the state.

But does trust survive both?

Can a parent trust their child to a teacher who is celebrating death?

I think no. I don't think a teacher can be trusted if they think that the children that it's right for children to see strippers in first grade!

I'm sorry. It's beyond reason. You should not be around my children!

But you shouldn't go to jail for that. Don't we, as a society have a right to demand virtue, in positions of authority?

Yes.

But the political class and honestly, the educational class, does everything they can to say, that doesn't matter.

But it does. And we're seeing it now. The line between cancel and culture, the -- the cancellation of people, and the accountability of people in our culture, it's not easy.

Except here. I think it is easy.

Cancel culture is about challenging the orthodoxy. Opinions about faith, morality, biology.
Accountability comes when speech reveals somebody's heart.

Accountability comes when you're like, you are a monster! You are celebrating violence. You're mocking life itself. One is an argument. The other is an abandonment of humanity. The Constitution, so you understand, protects both.

But we as a culture can decide, what kind of voices would shape our children? Heal our sick. Lead our communities?

I'm sorry, if you're in a position of trust, I think it's absolutely right for the culture to say, no!

No. You should not -- because this is not policy debate. This is celebrating death.

You know, our Founders gave us liberty.

And, you know, the big thing was, can you keep it?

Well, how do you keep it? Virtue. Virtue.

Liberty without virtue is suicide!

So if anybody is making this case to you, that this is cancel culture. I just want you to ask them this question.

Which do you want to defend?

Cancel culture that silences debate. Or a culture that still knows the difference between debating ideas and celebrating death.

Which one?

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

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.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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.
