Bill O’Reilly doesn’t agree with the death penalty, but that doesn’t mean the sentence given to the Parkland, Florida killer earlier this week is enough. In fact, Bill O’Reilly says those responsible for such heinous crimes should do far more than sit in a cell for their lifetime: They should do daily, HARD LABOR instead. Plus, O’Reilly explains the corporate media’s latest ‘phony story’ being ‘jammed’ down our throats AND he gives his thoughts on Biden’s recent comments about Saudi Arabia…

GLENN: What is the biggest, most important story of the week.

BILL: There is no doubt about it. My appearance on the nation, with Chris Cuomo. Did you see that?

GLENN: Nobody saw that, Bill.

BILL: Actually, Beck, you're misleading your final -- that got the highest rating they've ever gotten on news nations.

GLENN: So that means every cameraman, might have been watching.

BILL: Anyway, as you know, it goes all out on social media. It goes everywhere. It goes to the Kremlin. So why was this important?

Number one, the big story that day, was another bogus, phony story. That the corrupt corporate media, jammed down the throats, of the American public.

That is some anonymous source said, Trump ordered him or her, to move a box, in the basement of Mar-a-Lago. That contained documents.

Phony story. And you know the story, right?

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: You saw it everywhere, right?

GLENN: No, I didn't.

BILL: The front page of the Washington Post. I don't know if the front page of the New York Times has been played up big. And all the liberal networks, played it up huge.

Okay. So he gets on, Cuomo. And he goes, oh. Oh.

What about this?

And I proceed to explain to him, in a very gentle way, because you know how I am.

How this is totally phony. And maybe you want to be a little skeptical, thinking about Cassidy Hutchinson. You remember Cassidy Hutchinson. You remember that, Beck?

GLENN: I don't.

BILL: Okay. January 6th committee, brings in this woman, works in the White House, who said that Trump lunged for the backseat of the presidential limo and grabbed the Secret Service agent. Remember?

GLENN: Right. Right. Yes.

BILL: How many days was that blanketing the American media? All right? Eight, nine days? Okay. It wasn't true.

And the January 6th committee, could have called, the two Secret Service agents, in the car, to come in. And testify under oath. They did not, did they?

No. So why this is the most important story, is it shows you that the media corruption is getting worse in America. Not better.

It doesn't matter how many stories are phony. Two years of Russian collusion. And it's not a Trump story. I mean, he was involved in it. Because they hate him, and they want to get him.

But it's a story that Americans cannot get honest information.

GLENN: Okay. Is the January 6th committee voted this week. They subpoenaed. It was unanimous. What a surprise.

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: They're going to subpoena to testify Donald Trump. Is he going to testify? Will he testify?

BILL: No. Of course, he's not going to testify.

GLENN: I would love to see that.

BILL: Well, he said on social media about an hour ago. I got a note from him this morning. And he said, I want to go and testify.

I don't know if that's a good idea. But look, if he wants to go, then go.

GLENN: Yeah. Let him go. Let him about it. It sure would be fun to watch. Because he has a lot to say. He has a lot to say. Let me give you a couple of ear stories. One juror just could not do it. She said, I think he was mentally ill. The Parkland shooter got a life in prison, instead of the death penalty.

BILL: Yeah. This is near flaw in our system. I don't believe in capital punishment.

Because I'm a Roman Catholic. And I do not believe in abortion. I don't believe that the state should be taking the lives of anyone.

However, in cases -- in heinous cases, where a human being kills or inflicts massive damage on another human being, life in prison is not enough.

It's not enough. So there should be different circumstances, like life in prison at hard labor.

You see what I mean? So that these people, they don't just sit there in their cot and watch TV. That they have to go out, and they have to work every day. And really make a punishment something that people dread almost as much as being dead.

You with me here?

GLENN: Yeah. I tell you, I am pro-life. You know that of me.

But I am pro-innocent life, and I've struggled with the death penalty, back and forth. I don't want to -- I don't want to take another life.

But I will tell you, that there are people that should just -- you've broken the contract with -- with humanity.

BILL: Let's make them suffer, okay?

GLENN: I don't want to torture people. But anyway.

BILL: It's not torture. It's not torture. Because you have to worker every day, at hard labor, for the rest of your life. No parole.

That, I submit to you, Beck. Would cut down on this heinous violence. Because most of these people, they don't care if they live or die. All right?

They don't care.

But facing hard labor for the rest of their life, that will make them care.

GLENN: Okay.

Let me take you to what happened with Saudi Arabia, this week.

BILL: Oh, yes.

GLENN: Tell me your thoughts, Joe Biden, apparently goes over. He says, he didn't even talk about oil. None of this is true. Of course he talked about oil. He talked about -- according to sources that were there. He made a condition. And said, you know, you're only going to do 200,000-barrel -- or 100,000-barrel reduction.

They made that agreement. And you're not going to do it before the election. Which is exactly what they tried to get Trump on doing.

Saudi Arabia got a pissed off. They made it 200,000 barrels, instead of one.

Biden threatened them earlier this week. And said, there's going to be retaliation. I can't tell you what. But there will be. And Saudi Arabia yesterday, came out with an unbelievable letter against the president.

BILL: Yes. I could tell you what the retaliation is. Hunter Biden is buying a condo.

GLENN: I would gladly send him to Saudi Arabia.

BILL: Yeah. That's the retaliation. You handle Hunter. Look, here's the two most important points of the Saudi Arabia situation. I know you don't know this. Because you're a very busy and important man. But I interviewed Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, this week. And he had an amazing amount of insight into Saudi Arabia and Putin, vis-à-vis Biden. Two things about Saudi Arabia.
Number one, they obviously do not fear Joe Biden, and they want to embarrass Joe Biden. And in doing so, they've thrown in with Putin, which is just -- every American should not ever go to Saudi Arabia. Don't go through there. They're on the blacklist.

But number two, what is worse about this, is that the Biden administration, not Biden himself. But the Biden administration went to the poobahs in Saudi Arabia, and said, hey. Don't make the announcement until after the midterms.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: I mean, really? Come on. Really.

That's the worst part of it. That these people -- in the White House, they don't care about us.

They have -- they don't care about us. The stock market is down 3,000 points since June.

I mean, and this guy runs around, Biden, and goes, oh, no. There's not a lot of inflation. Yeah, but where you live there isn't. But every other human being in the country is getting pounded. So, again, we go back to, why would any American vote Democrat November 8th? Why would anybody?

GLENN: So tell me what your gut is saying about the election? Is it stronger than it was last week?

BILL: Every day, it's getting better for the Republicans. Every day, the Republicans don't say anything. It's getting better. As soon as they start to say stuff, then it gets bad. They just shut up for the next three and a half weeks.

GLENN: Now that is Mitch McConnell's, and I don't understand it. Why do you say that?

BILL: Because the Republican Party has no central philosophy or leadership. Okay?

You would agree with that, wouldn't you?

GLENN: Yes, I would, absolutely.

BILL: So just keep quiet. Let them destroy themselves.

The Democrats are so bad. I mean, it's -- I don't know how it could be worse. With the border, crime, economy. How could it be worse. How?

GLENN: We could be at war. Which we will be.

BILL: We'll not be at war, Beck.

GLENN: Yes, we are.

You'll be on the program, saying, Glenn, you saw this one coming. I didn't believe it.

BILL: Okay. Number one, I would never say the word Glenn.
(laughter)
STU: You just did. You just did.

GLENN: Thank you very much, Stu. You just did. And that's the first time I think he's ever said -- uttered the word Glenn.

BILL: I had to do it. I was going to spell it out. I want a minute at the end of this interview for Legends.

But, look, let's -- and I mean this literally, those of you, people of faith, please pray that there is not a war in the world.

Because it's not like World War II anymore. It then collapses economies across the board. I mean, it's just inconceivable.

But one of the things that Pompeo told me, which I did not know, was that war games are going auto now. Within the Biden administration.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: In case Putin does do a little nuke action. The war games. And Pompeo said this. So I'm not making -- speculating.

It's based upon, we would then vaporize, Russia's ability to communicate all of their social media. Everything would go dark there. Almost immediately.

GLENN: So I will tell you, I -- I know somebody who is, you know, around the White House. I know somebody there.

BILL: Yeah. It's the chef. We know you know the chef.

GLENN: Yeah. And he is very well aware of these games and has been involved.

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: And is telling me the same thing. And I know Pompeo has better sources than I do. But I have a pretty good source inside the White House, that says, it's frightening. It's terrifying.

BILL: Well, if Putin does it, Russia comes off the map, as far as communications are concerned. There won't be a new response from NATO. But there will be that kind of response.

And you know that Russia would probably hit back, but we are a thousand times more powerful.

Again, I don't want to be too self-aggrandizing, but in Killing the Killers, I just lay out all the unbelievable weaponry that was developed during the Trump administration, that is deployed now. And Putin has got to know, that if he ever did that, that Russia then goes dark. And if that happens, Putin himself becomes in grave, grave danger.

So that's why I don't think he will do it.

GLENN: Somebody -- it was my son actually who told me.

He said, dad, didn't the Duma -- weren't there people in the Duma that were saying that we have to -- that they want Russia to pull out? And I'm like if it happened, it was a death sentence. I didn't look it up. Have you heard that?

BILL: There's Russia. But if you open your mouth, it's like the Crosby, Stills, and Nash song. Step out of line, they come and take you away.

So the Duma is essentially a rock group in Russia. It just goes and gives concerts.hat is the biggest, most important story of the week.

BILL: There is no doubt about it. My appearance on the nation, with Chris Cuomo. Did you see that?

GLENN: Nobody saw that, Bill.

BILL: Actually, Beck, you're misleading your final -- that got the highest rating they've ever gotten on news nations.
