New York KICKS kids out of school for illegal immigrants?!

It has been a crazy past few days with one of the most insane news cycles Glenn has ever seen. But topping the list is a story out of New York City: A school has forced students to stay at home so it can temporarily house illegal immigrants. This, Glenn believes, is a sign of what's to come for the rest of the country if the Biden administration's border insanity continues. How does he know? Because he's seen it firsthand and documented it in the newest Blaze Originals documentary: "The Real Story of Colony Ridge." Glenn also runs through some other highlights from this crazy news cycle: The SEC has approved Bitcoin EFTs for institutional investing; Chris Christie has dropped out of the race; Bill Belichick has "parted ways" with the New England Patriots; The Red Cross is helping fuel the border invasion; and another shocker for the week: Dr. Fauci has admitted that the 6-foot distancing rule "sort of just appeared" out of nowhere.

GLENN: Let me just see if I can run down some of the stories yesterday. Bitcoin was approved for institutional investing.

That came from the SECC. Fifteen institutional investors were given permission to start selling Bitcoin. And including it in their retirement funds, et cetera, et cetera.

That's huge. That's why Bitcoin is going to break 50,000 here, probably in the next few minutes. There was the block of the budget, by 16 Republicans. Chip Roy, one of them. Who are saying, you -- you don't do something about the border, we're never going to pass a budget.

Never.

And God bless them for that. We have Mike Lee coming on about that in just a minute.

Chris Christie dropped out.

Gavin Newsom, we find out now, has a budget crisis. He refuses to call it an emergency. But if he will dip into the emergency funds, he then has to call it an emergency where he can't get any of those funds. It's $37 billion.

And yet, he's announced just earlier this week, or was it last week, that he's going to be covering health insurance and sex changes with the California health system? So you have that going for you.
Belichick was fired.

STU: Basically, they parted ways.

GLENN: Parted ways.

STU: I don't think they would fire him after the nine Super Bowls they went to.

They're parting ways. He will probably go coach somewhere else.

I don't know if I thought he would leave there, other than just retiring.

We're talking about probably the greatest NFL coach of all time. Arguably.

GLENN: Isn't Alabama kind of a big deal football?

STU: Arguably the greatest college coach of all time.

Also, Nick Saban leaving, which apparently was a great surprise, and the same day.

I guess it was one day apart, technically. But in the same 24-hour period certainly.

GLENN: Then we had the debate, a town hall.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: We had Fani Willis.

That story broke. You know about that, right?

She was having an affair with some attorney, who then she said, I'm appointing you special counsel.

On the Trump thing. Except, she can't do that. She needs permission to do that. It has to go through a board.

STU: Board, yeah.

GLENN: She never went through the board to do it. So she did not follow roar.

He's making like $650,000 on his special counsel.

They're sleeping together. He's going through a divorce. She's being called as a witness. That's the real ethical woman, Fani Willis, that is going after Donald Trump.

Then you also had Fauci yesterday, come out and say, the lab leak theory is not a conspiracy theory.

Excuse me. What.

The 6-foot distancing, we just made that up.

STU: I still see the posters for that all over the place. They're still just hanging over there, as remnants of that era.

No science on that particular claim.

GLENN: Nope. Nope.

Then you have the kids in New York, getting kicked out of their own school for illegals.

What -- what -- what would you do as a parent?

Wait. My kid has to move? My kid has to go someplace else, because their school has been taken over by illegals?

No. I don't -- no. I don't think so.

Then you had Hunter Biden show up yesterday.

That was bizarre. He shows up in Congress. And just -- and just sits there.

And everybody starts yelling at him. And then -- and then in an even more bizarre move. He gets up and leaves in the million dollars of it.

Then you had a couple of really disturbing things happen.

You have Poland, kind of teetering right where we are, on the constitutional republic line. Listen to this. This is the polish Prime Minister. Announcement he made yesterday.

VOICE: For the first time, since the dark days of totalitarian rule, we have political prisoners in Poland.

They are the former interior minister, Mariusz Kaminski, and his deputy.

Both are democratically elected members of the Polish parliament.

Both fought against companies during their visit to the Polish president at the presidential (inaudible).

They were detained by the police, and then taken into custody. This happened even though both received a presidential pardon, as the prerogative of the president allows under political constitutional law, in 2015.

The entire process, which culminated in the detention of two politicians took place in flagrant violation of the rule of law.

GLENN: Wow!

And to make that even better, I don't know if you saw the Canadian Mounties or whoever they are.

The Canadian police arresting the idealist. This is horrifying. Journalist is going and asking, I don't know, the interior secretary or something.

Why Hamas is not on the terrorist list, for Canada.

Listen to this.
(music)

VOICE: Why is your government supporting Islamonationalists?

GLENN: Watch this.

VOICE: You're under arrest for assault. You're under arrest for assault. Police.

VOICE: What are you talking about, man.

VOICE: You're under arrest for assault.

VOICE: You bumped into me.

VOICE: You pushed into had he.

VOICE: I have my credentials here. And you just bumped into me.

VOICE: Police, you're under arrest.

VOICE: What is your name.

VOICE: You're under arrest.

VOICE: Why am I under arrest.

He -- he --

GLENN: Okay. Stop. They take him away!

STU: Jeez.

GLENN: Now, this is a journalist that is walking down the street.

The police officer was intentionally standing right where he was walking. He saw him coming. He must move. The guy had the microphone.
And he bumps into him because he's walking backwards.
So he doesn't see him. But he just bumps into him.

And he's arrested for assaulting a police officer.

Holy cow. Meanwhile, as we told you last week, the Red Cross, if you're giving money to the Red Cross, you should stop right now.

In my opinion, you should stop. How could I say that?

Red Cross does a lot of good things. Yeah. They're also passing out fliers on how to get to America. All over South America, and Latin America.

Excuse me. What -- what -- what are you doing?

What are you talking about.

You're organizing?

Well, they're helping. You also have friends of the train. I don't remember what it is in Spanish. They're doing it.

And the United Nations is also aiding and abetting.

And -- and pushing people towards our border. We're going to have 10 million new people, here in America.

Just from the last four years. That's an invasion. Meanwhile, our Congress, and our president will do nothing. Nothing.

There were 15 or 16 Republicans, yesterday, that stood up and said, no.

You don't get a budget, without the border.

You secure the border, we'll talk to you about the budget.

But no. And now, everybody is, oh, my gosh. We're not going to have a budget.

We'll shut down the government. We should shut down the government. What is the government doing to help you.

What is the government doing to protect and defend the Constitution. What is the government doing to protect the borders.

The government is out of control. We shouldn't be giving them another time.

Make them work for it. Make -- force them to do their job.

I'm only asking for the Constitution to be followed. I'm not asking for anything radical.

Follow the Constitution. And execute your job!

And anyone who is not following, or worse, usurping the Constitution fire them. Or try them, if they've committed a crime.

My gosh. What is wrong with us.

Meanwhile, Houston, one of his top five city now.

Isn't it?

It's the fourth or fifth largest city in the country. Massive, massive city. It's growing by leaps and bounds, but it's growing with illegals.

You're going to lose Texas. I will lose Texas as a red state. You will. It's only a matter of time, period. Why do you think they're bringing all these illegals in?

Two things. One, elections. And number two, Cloward and Piven.

Overwhelm the system.

That's what's happening in California.

Gavin Newsom, you think he's going to be put in.

Gavin Newsom, he has a -- he has a budget deficit now of $37 billion.

Why.

Because he's doing the same thing they're doing in New York.

Get out of here. We will put some illegals in here.

Can you imagine, if you have your own business. And you can't afford health insurance.

You can barely afford it. You're just at the bottom of the barrel.

And your tax dollars are going to give sex change operations to illegals. I think -- I think I would lose my mind.

I think I would lose my mind. I would definitely lose my house.

I would sell my house, so fast, and get out of that state.

That's -- that's true insanity.

You can't make the budget, and so what is he cutting?

What is he cutting?

Tell me, Stu. How this one makes any sense at all.

What is Gavin Newsom cutting now that he has a deficit of 37. Sorry. $37 billion.

It will be 68 billion, if he does nothing.

Okay.

So he's taking $13 billion from his rainy day fund. Reserves. Which you're not supposed to touch, unless you declare an emergency.

But he won't declare an emergency. He is taking 8.5 billion, for programs. Deferring some spending to the future.

And spreading it out over more years.

8.5 billion in spending cuts.

Half of those cuts are for housing.

Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Hold on. You're going to cut housing, and yet, millions of people are coming across the border. And you already have a housing crisis in California.
How does that work?

Then the other thing he's doing, is he's cutting on many of the promises, on climate change. Now, if you're Gavin Newsom -- remember, this is the World War II of this generation.

How is he possibly doing that?

Hmm.

What are the things he's cutting?

Well, he said, I won't cut free kindergarten. Because he just added that.

I won't cut health insurance for all low income adults, regardless of their immigration status.

So he's married to those two things.

But he does want to delay a planned minimum wage increase for health care workers.

So wait a minute. I thought that was going to help everybody. Everybody wins in that.

Why would you -- if that only helps people make money, and it doesn't harm the businesses, why would you do that.

Why.

Then, he is going to cut 40 million from a program.

That helps local and regional governments fight the impacts of extreme heat.

$23 million for a pilot program, to deploy zero emission trucks that transfer goods from ports.

Six hundred million in spending for programs to help motorists replace gas vehicles with hybrid and zero emission versions.

If you actually believe this is the end of the world, why would you you cut those things?

Why?

And this is the guy people say, they're going to run. Okay.

If -- if America is that insane, well, then we deserve what we have coming to us, I guess.

So what does all of this mean? And what is truly the big story of yesterday, and today?

We'll tell you in 60 minutes. When it comes to being prepared for disasters. There is no time like the present. If God forbid, if you find you and your family where food is hard to come by.

(music)
So the biggest story today, is this.

I want you to imagine. Play the audio of the mother outside of the New York school.

Where her kids and all the kids have been told to leave. Because school needs to be occupied now by illegal immigrants.
(music)

VOICE: How does it feel? You feel good? I hope you feel good!

GLENN: So her kids can't go to school because the school is now occupied by illegal immigrants.

Okay. Imagine yourself in that situation.

Now, if you've ever been to Brazil, I want you to imagine something else.

If you've been to Brazil or Rio, you know, it's wealth. And like, I have no clothing poverty.

Okay. And they live right on the other side of the fence.

It is despicable.

Awful.

It's poverty like Americans have never seen before.

But that's what we're talking about. If we bring the third world here, without a plan, without ways for them to realize the American dream.

And we just keep giving stuff. Or worse, we let people prey on them.

We're going to be a third world country.

That is your future.

Living where you live, and right on the other side of the fence, is massive poverty.
How do I know?

I've been to Colony Ridge in Houston.

And that is what it is. Across your fence is wild like never before seen poverty. It's not all of Colony Ridge.

But it is -- it is going to be popping up everywhere. Currently, it's in Houston.

But these developments, when unscrupulous people, not doing anything illegal. See the opportunity, to make millions of dollars.

They're going to do this, repeat this, all over America. What is Colony Ridge?

It is the name of a development, just outside of Houston, Texas.

About 30 minutes outside of Texas. So your community distance.

And it is -- in many parts of it, third world feeling. Okay.

Are the people happy? Some of them are. Some of them are really unhappy.

What is the whole story?

Because the New York Post didn't get it right. I don't think The Daily Wire got it right. We tried really hard to get this right.

And you will see the truth of Colony Ridge. And it's be the about the Texas development.

It is about you and your neighborhood.

If you don't stand up. If Congress doesn't stand up and say, no budget. If there's no border security, then this will come to your community. It may already be there.

Bill O'Reilly predicts THIS will be Charlie Kirk's 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.

Should people CELEBRATING Charlie Kirk’s death be fired?

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?

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

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

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.
