Bill O’Reilly: How Progressives are DESTROYING YOUR FREEDOM

By Staff, Glenn Beck

August 26, 2022

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Correct.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Correct.

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

GLENN: I know.

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

GLENN: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: I know.

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

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

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

GLENN: He did.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is the game plan of the FBI?

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

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

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

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

You ready for the worst, Glenn?

GLENN: Sure.

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

GLENN: Do you know that for sure?

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

GLENN: I know. I know.

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

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

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

GLENN: Yeah. You would have.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: So wait. Wait. Wait.

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

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

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

GLENN: Yeah.

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

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

And they shouldn't. So, yes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

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

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

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

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