Glenn Goes to Bed Early, Misses Greatest Super Bowl Ever

Early to bed and early to rise makes and man healthy, wealthy and wise. According to Ben Franklin, that is.

In Glenn's case, it also makes a man miss the greatest Super Bowl of all time: The first time a quarterback has ever won five Super Bowls. The first overtime ever in a Super Bowl. The greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.

Watch the complimentary video above or read the transcript for details.

GLENN: I have such fear of, you know -- of missing out --

PAT: On the Super Bowl?

GLENN: On everything. I always -- I have that. What is that? FOBO? Is it FOBO or something? Fear of missing out. FOMO?

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: You never heard that?

PAT: Yes. But I heard some other FOBO things. Something else.

(laughter)

GLENN: So, anyway -- all right.

PAT: Or maybe that's FOOBOO. That's one of those. We probably don't want to go there.

GLENN: Let's not go there. Let's move on.

Anyway, I always have the fear of missing out. Of just like, "Oh, man, that could have been historic."

JEFFY: Right.

GLENN: Last night, I go to bed, and, of course, it is the greatest Super Bowl of all time.

JEFFY: Tremendous.

PAT: Yeah, when you went to bed, it was, what, 21-3 or 28-3? Or whatever.

GLENN: Yeah, something.

PAT: I almost gave up on it at that point too. Because I was like -- I was sort of rooting for the Patriots. I didn't really care that much. But my only interest in it really was where BYU was concerned.

GLENN: Yeah, it was really -- it was really -- I mean, I thought it was colossally boring.

JEFFY: The first half was --

PAT: It was. For three quarters, it was boring. And then at 28-3, the Patriots started their comeback. And it turned out to be -- they're already calling it the greatest Super Bowl of all time now.

GLENN: Now, he is the only one that has won five Super Bowls, right?

JEFFY: Correct. Correct.

GLENN: He was tied at four with Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.

PAT: And Terry Bradshaw.

GLENN: So he's the only one to win five. I mean, I don't know anything --

JEFFY: I mean, that's tremendous.

GLENN: He's no longer in doubt as the greatest --

PAT: No, he's -- I mean, you got to say, five Super Bowls --

GLENN: This is it?

PAT: -- and his statistics, he's probably the greatest of all time. And we should probably remove the probably.

JEFFY: Yes, we should.

PAT: The greatest of all time.

JEFFY: I think we should.

GLENN: Back in a minute.

(OUT AT 8:31AM)

GLENN: You guys are bad people.

PAT: Why? I --

JEFFY: Oh, come on now.

PAT: You're talking about the coin toss?

GLENN: I'm talking about the coin toss. And I bring it up off air. And I think -- I think that was great moment.

PAT: I thought it was really sad. I thought it was really sad.

GLENN: He's 91.

PAT: I know. And they put him in a bad position.

GLENN: No, they did not.

PAT: There was no way for him to look good there.

GLENN: He just got out of the hospital.

PAT: I know. That's why they should have given him some help. What they needed to do was have the president, his son, and his father. They could have had W. and H.W. And W. could have flipped the coin.

GLENN: Why? If I were W,. I wouldn't have done it.

PAT: Why?

GLENN: This is my dad's moment. This is my dad's moment.

PAT: Your dad's moment is passed, and he wasn't -- he's not healthy enough to have that moment right now. He's just not. He just got out of the hospital.

GLENN: You can't handle -- you can't handle the ravages of age.

PAT: No. It's hard. It's hard to see him that way.

JEFFY: Pushed out in the wheelchair.

GLENN: But it was good to see him. He was alert. He knew what was going on.

PAT: I'm not sure that's true.

GLENN: Oh, yes, he did. When the referee turned, he said --

JEFFY: Yeah, the first time, he did -- he went to reach for the coin.

(laughter)

GLENN: Yeah, he was like, where's my coin?

JEFFY: And the referee walked away. He was left hanging out there in his wheelchair waiting for the coin.

(laughter)

GLENN: He said -- he said -- you can read his lips.

PAT: That was nice. Thank you, Jeffy.

JEFFY: No. Thank you.

GLENN: You could -- you could read his -- so mean.

(laughter)

So mean.

PAT: It was not pleasant.

GLENN: It was not good.

PAT: I'm glad most people didn't see that.

JEFFY: Come on now. That's not wrong.

GLENN: I mean, you can talk about Donald Trump making fun of the handicapped guy. Look at you.

JEFFY: I watched it on the television. They showed him.

GLENN: Yeah, so bad. So bad. I thought it was a nice moment.

PAT: He couldn't flip the coin. That's the problem.

GLENN: Yes, he did.

PAT: No. It rolled off his thumb and rolled on down on the ground. It rolled.

GLENN: All right. So here's -- can we say something nice?

PAT: Yes.

JEFFY: Yes.

GLENN: And I mean this in a nice way, except it made me realize that -- Barbara hasn't aged a day.

JEFFY: She looked great.

PAT: No, she looked the same in 1989 as she does today.

GLENN: Right? And that's amazing.

PAT: It is. It is.

GLENN: Because we didn't realize she looked 90 when she was 40. But she really --

PAT: So now that she's 90, she looks 40.

GLENN: Right. It didn't work out for her when she was younger, but now --

PAT: Now it's perfect.

GLENN: She can get all of the guys that are still aware. You know, if they ever go on like a single's cruise after, God forbid, he passes on, and they're on a single's cruise. And she'll be like, "She's the one." Because she looks 40.

JEFFY: Yeah, yeah.

GLENN: But she's the same age as he.

JEFFY: They had a great reception.

PAT: They really did. You would accept that.

GLENN: The music they played was just really, just noble.

PAT: It was nice.

GLENN: It was a nice moment. A nice moment.

PAT: It was a little bit sad. But it was nice. Because it's hard to see him, you know, age this way. And he's sick.

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: I think the two of them -- I think the two of them -- who in politics is not sick?

I think the two of them though -- I love them as a couple. They always have struck me as the kind that will go out at the same time.

PAT: Uh-huh.

JEFFY: Boy, that's possible.

GLENN: It is. When she went into the hospital, when he was there --

JEFFY: When she stayed.

GLENN: No, they checked her in.

JEFFY: They put her in, yeah.

GLENN: Because she was getting sick too. And I thought, oh, my gosh. Is the Lord going to take both of these at the same time? Which in some ways, it's hard on the family, but great for them. Great for them.

PAT: Very Notebook-esque.

GLENN: Brutal, just brutal.

Anything else you want to make fun of? Anything else?

PAT: I am not making fun of him. I am not making fun of him. I just think they put him in a bad situation, and they could have made it better for him, but they didn't.

JEFFY: Yes. But I guess maybe that's the best position they had for him. Right?

PAT: I guess.

GLENN: Tell me the deal -- tell me the deal. See, look, there he is -- picture of him flipping. It did not roll out of his hands. He's throwing it up.

PAT: No, it really kind of did.

JEFFY: No, it really kind of did.

GLENN: Look at it. He's flipping it up. It's going up in the air. Look at it.

PAT: I saw it yesterday. There was a lot of flip in that coin.

JEFFY: No, there was not. There was not a lot of flip --

GLENN: Anyway -- anyway, can you tell me the deal with the egomaniacs that came out without their NFL Hall of Fame jackets at the beginning? There were like three guys that wouldn't wear the jackets.

PAT: That wouldn't wear the jackets?

GLENN: Yeah. Did you guys notice that?

PAT: No.

GLENN: Do you see when the Hall of Famers came out?

PAT: I must have missed that.

JEFFY: From the black universities?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

JEFFY: Yeah. There were -- Jerry Rice didn't wear his.

GLENN: Two or three.

JEFFY: And there was someone else too. Yes, you're right.

GLENN: Yeah. And they didn't wear their NFL Hall of Fame jackets.

JEFFY: Hall of Fame jacket, yeah.

GLENN: And it was amazing to me to see how the older guys came out, and they were just like, "Hi." And the younger guys, all showboats.

JEFFY: Yes.

GLENN: All showboats.

Just -- at first, they refused to wear the jacket. It appeared as though they were like, "Are you kidding me? Look at this outfit. I'm not messing with it."

PAT: I'm not messing with this.

JEFFY: I mean, that was for sure Jerry Rice. I mean, he danced out.

GLENN: Yeah. The other one too. The two that didn't --

JEFFY: I got to see --

GLENN: Yeah, the two of them that did, they both walked out, and they were both showboats. Both showboats.

PAT: I completely missed that. I must have been getting food or something, which was pretty continual.

GLENN: You, at the -- really? I'm fascinated by that.

PAT: Yeah, it was pretty continual. I know. Isn't that surprising?

GLENN: Yeah, that was a little shocking there.

PAT: Yeah. So brought up the new Hall of Fame guys?

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Kurt Warner and LaDainian Tomlinson, those guys?

JEFFY: What Glenn is talking about is they brought out the Hall of Fame players history from black universities that have played such a prominent role in the NFL over the years. It was really good.

PAT: Oh, like guys in the Hall of Fame that went to black-only universities?

JEFFY: Yes.

GLENN: My father-in-law said -- he was watching it with us. And he said, you know, when I was growing up, when I was growing up, he said, "You couldn't find a black guy on the football team." He said, it was -- it was a big deal to be black.

He said, "Now find the white guys."

PAT: Now you can't find the white guy. Yeah, it's harder. Much, much harder.

GLENN: Yeah.

JEFFY: You know, Lambarni, Elvin Bethea, Mel Blunt, Roosevelt Brown, Willie Brown, Buck Buchanan, Harry Carson, Willie Davis, Richard Dent, Bob Hayes, Claude Humphrey, Len Ford.

PAT: Wow. Legendary.

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: All I keep thinking -- when I see these old guys, all I keep thinking is them walking out to this and thinking, jeez, if I could have just waited ten or 20 more years to play football, I wouldn't be, you know, working at the -- at the pet store right now.

PAT: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: I mean, the guys who played football when it was really playing football and now are just leading an ordinary life.

PAT: If you played in the '50s and '60s, you really wish you were born a little bit later and played today.

GLENN: Don't you think in the '70s too?

PAT: '70s, I think the salaries really started to kick in, in the '70s. Because while it was hundreds of thousands instead of millions, it was still commensurate with, I think, what they have today. You know, if you were to adjust for inflation, you would find that $400,000 in 1978 was like 4 million today, probably. I mean, they made a lot of money in the '70s. But the '50s and '60s guys made nothing.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

With Elon Musk’s announcement of Grok 4, humanity is closer than ever before to creating AGI – artificial general intelligence – which would change everything. Glenn Beck breaks down what’s coming in the next year with AI, which even Elon Musk called “terrifying.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Let me tell you the biggest story of the day.

And I think it is the biggest story possibly of all mankind, as of today.

It's going to change rapidly.

I don't know if anybody -- did either of you guys watch the Elon Musk thing last night?

STU: No, I did watch a few minutes of it.

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

GLENN: Okay. So the xAI team was there to unveil Grok 4. This is the latest intelligence, and let me be very, very clear.

Last night was not your typical tech launch. This is a moment that demands everyone's full attention.

We are now at the crossroads, where promise and peril are going to collide. Okay?

I have explained to you, for years, AGI.
AI. AGI. And ASI. Narrow intelligence is what we've always had.

General intelligence is the next step. And that is, it's better that man, one -- one, you know, like Grok. Can do everything. That you can do.

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

When you hit AGI, the road to ASI could be overnight.

Okay?

We need to understand what's at stake here. Because Grok four brought us closer to that second stage, than ever before.

Grok four is a powerhouse. They demonstrated it last night.

It surpasses the expertise of Ph.D.-level sailors in all fields.

It can get 100 percent on any -- any test for any field, mathematics, physics. Engineering.

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

This is a system that tackles problems, so intricate, they -- they go beyond our existing knowledge base.

Okay?

Let's say there is -- let's say, we have a fusion reactor. And the magnetic containment system goes down. I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point.

But it goes down.

And the top minds all on earth are like, I don't know what to do. Grok 4 can step in, model the physics, design new material, stabilize the system, and avert catastrophe. And it can do it about that fast. Now, this is the capability, that Musk says is just around the corner.

Mark my words. You know, how many -- how many years did I say, between 2027 and 2030, we would start to see this?

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

GLENN: For years. Right? Yeah, always the window.

And everybody, even Ray Kurzweil said, oh, that's way too optimistic. We may be 2050.

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

Grok shows us 2026 or 2027 is when we're going to hit it. This is the last year, that we have, before things get really weird.

Okay?

Last night, Elon Musk is touting this -- this AI.

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

And I'm quoting. This is one of them.

It's somewhat unnerving to have created intelligence that's greater than our own.

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

Now, this is a man who has launched rockets, you know, into orbit.

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

You know, after he sees the results of it. He says, you know, it's really -- in a way, quite terrifying to see what it's doing.

But we just have to make sure that it remains good!

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

Now, the key point in the announcement was the mention of ARC-AGI.

I had never heard of ARC-AGI. I had no idea what it was. But I noticed AGI. And I went, uh-oh. That sounds important. So this is the gold standard. The bench mark testing for artificial general intelligence.

Okay.

As I've said before, AGI. Artificial General Intelligence is a machine that matches all human cognition, across all domains.

Reasoning, creativity.

Problem solving. Not just specialized tasks like playing Go or analyzing x-rays. Everything. For instance, Musk said by mid-next year to the latest end of next year, it will be able to create a full length movie, just from a text prompt.
And do it all at once!

So, in other words, it will say, create a movie, and you just explain the Godfather.

It will do the casting. It will do the writing. It will do the filming, if you will. It will -- score the music, and it will happen that fast.

Almost in realtime. We are nowhere near the computational power now, to do that separately.

But this will do it all at once. It will make a movie with all of it, simultaneously.

So the arc AGI system is the benchmark on how close we are to AGI. Remember, scary things happen at AGI.

Terrifying things happen at ASI. ASI could be a matter of hours, or days after we hit AGI.

Grok 4 scored 16.2 percent on the ARC-AGI scale.

Why is that important? You're like, well, only 16 percent away.

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

And that -- they took that test, last time with Grok three.

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

We're at 16 percent. Remember, these things are not linear. The next time, we could be at 32, we might be at 64.

We are on the verge. This is the last year of -- I can't believe I'm saying this. Of normalcy. Okay?

This year is -- we're going to look back at this year, probably two years ago, gosh, remember the good old days, when everything was normal.

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

Everything you and I talked about last night, Stu, about what we're doing in January, make -- put -- does it make it even more critical that that happens like, oh, I don't know.

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

GLENN: You are going to need to know your values, your ethics, your rights.

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

It lacks the full autonomy and the generalized reasoning of a human mind. But it is the closest that we've come.

It's a system that can adapt, innovate, at a level that outpaces specialized AIs by a wide margin.

This is a milestone. This is not a destination, but it's something that should jolt everybody awake. So here's what's coming over the next six months. By December 2025, that's this Christmas!

December 2025, he believes, Musk, that Grok 4, will drive breakthroughs in material sciences.

So, in other words, imagine a new -- brand-new alloy, that is lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel.

And it revolutionizes aerospace and everything else, or a drug that halts Alzheimer's progression, tailored to a person's DNA.

Grok will drive breakthroughs through material science. So brand-new materials that nobody has ever thought of.

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

And chemical engineering, putting together chemicals that no man has ever thought.

That's going for happen by December.

Imagine a chemical compound that makes carbon capture, economically viable. The climate change stuff, that's over.

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

Musk said something that he never thought. He believes that within the next year, by 2027, Grok 4 will uncover new physical laws.

So that will rewrite the understanding -- our understanding of the entire universe.

That there will come -- like there's gravity. Hey, you know what, there's another law here that you never thought of. Wait. What?

That, he says, will come by 2027. This is going to accelerate human discovery, at an unprecedented scale.

I told you, at some point. I said, by 2030. It might be a little earlier than that.

Things will be happening at such a fast rate, you won't be able to keep up with them.

And it will accelerate to the point to where you won't even understand what all of this means.

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

In six months, Grok 4 could evolve into a system, that dwarfs human expertise in economics, defense, all of it.

Now, again, it's a bit terrifying to quote Elon Musk. Why?

Because we don't know, what else comes with this.

This is like an alien life form.

We have no idea, what to predict. What it will be capable of.

How it will view us, when we are ants, to its intellect.

Okay?

It is a tool, but it is also Pandora's box.

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

My feeling is: What I've been saying forever.

2027 to 2030, I'm leaning more toward the 2027 now.

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

And as Musk said himself, two times, it's terrifying!

We should act like it is terrifying.

Or risk losing the control of the future, that we're all trying to build. That's the biggest story of the day.

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O’Reilly’s SOLUTION to the DOJ’s Epstein Files fallout

Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn Beck with his plan for how the Trump administration can fix the Epstein Files fallout "overnight." Plus, he explains why he believes there's only one way that former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan get indicted by a grand jury.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program, sir! How are you?

BILL: Welcome. (inaudible)

And right off the bat, I have to correct you.

GLENN: Yeah. You're not alive. What know.

BILL: I mean, you know -- you don't know that?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. No. I -- I thought you were dead. Anyway --

BILL: You were dead to me, oh!
(laughter)
I --

GLENN: I get it.

BILL: That's just another brick in your wall, Beck.
(laughter)

GLENN: It's good to talk to you, Bill.

Tell me -- you had a conversation with -- with President Trump, what, a couple of months ago, and I talked about --

BILL: Yeah. St. Patrick's Day, he invited me to sit on a cabinet meeting, which he does sometimes.

And he said, look, we've got files, Kennedy, King, Epstein -- what do you think? And I said, well, first Kennedy you've got to put out pretty much everything, which he did. King, he didn't. I don't know why. Because that's important too.

And then on Epstein I said, you have to be careful here, because this is now being used in political precincts. Both sides want to destroy anybody that was associated with Epstein. And the problem is that a federal investigation. They don't make a determination whether you had a -- what kind of relationship you had with Epstein. They just said, so-and-so had lunch with him.

Or maybe so-and-so had -- saw him at a party. And I said, any name of a human being associated with Epstein, in any way, that person is going to be destroyed. Because you know, the press is not going to put anything into context.

So I said, but it's very important that the Justice Department tell the folks what they know.

And you don't have to get specific with anything.

But you have to say, this is the information that we've compiled. And that's not hard.

And I don't know why the Trump administration is not doing that.

GLENN: Wow!

So, first of all, it's your fault, that we're not getting any names. We learned a lot here.

BILL: Probably my fault, but the president --

GLENN: You know what, I think you're right. I don't want all the names of the people. I want to know --

BILL: And I don't either.

GLENN: Right! I want to know the Justice Department has sorted through the things, and then have gone through. And said, this is criminal. This is not. These people are being indicted, et cetera, et cetera. But to come out and say, there is nothing there, I mean, it's -- it's at least --

BILL: It's ridiculous.

GLENN: It's mass incompetence, at least from Pam Bondi. How could she come out and say, it's all sitting on my desk?

And then when she doesn't release it, she says, well, that's because the FBI in New York is thwarting this process. There are people up there, that are trying to keep this from me.

And then she makes no arrests on that. We never hear about that again.

And then now all of a sudden, there's nothing to see.

BILL: Well, listen, Pam Bondi does not make decisions on her own.

No cabinet member does.

All the decisions come out of the West Wing.

So what I believed happened was, Trump was so obsessed with the big bill, with Iran, with Putin, with China.

That this -- they didn't even think about this. Okay?

GLENN: I believe that.

BILL: And it slowly began to unravel. And then I caught it by surprise.

But this is the easiest fix. Somewhere so easy.

BILL: So if I'm in charge, and that would be a great thing for everyone, except you, Beck -- but every other American, if I were in charge, tremendous. You would be in Botswana. Right.

GLENN: Right. Oh, I know.

Yeah. Yeah. I would be the ambassador of the white farmers in -- in South Africa if it were up to you. I know. I know.

BILL: No. You would be wandering around going, I am Glenn Beck. And they would go, who? That's what you'd be doing.

GLENN: That's every day.

BILL: So this could happen within the hour. Pam Bondi announces a press conference for tomorrow.

At that press conference, sitting next to her, is Merrick Garland, everyone.

You had this stuff for four years! Now, I understand that Mr. Garland has gone native and is living in a -- well, we can find him. We can pull him out of there, and have him and Pam, sit there and answer questions in a general way about what evidence the Justice Department of the United States has compiled.

GLENN: Not going to happen.

BILL: That's it!

Well, if it's not going to happen, then President Trump is going to take a hit.

But he's calculating that this will say that it's that night important.

But I don't know why you would not do it.

I just don't know. And I'm usually pretty good at predicting what the president does or does not do.

GLENN: So here's the thing, Bill.

I think he keeps focusing on Epstein. It's not that big of a deal.

It's not about Epstein. It's about justice.

It's about, can we trust the people -- correct!

It's all about credibility and justice.

And he's not seeing that. And I don't know how he's missing that. Because I agree with you.

He's been so busy on so many other things.

BILL: That's right. That's right.

GLENN: This is not at the top of his priority list.

But he did campaign on it.

BILL: Right.

And I don't know if there's anybody inside the White House.

He looks to be annoyed, when this subject comes up.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: And here's the -- what works -- you have to understand.

A guy like Donald Trump runs it all.

If he's annoyed, nobody will want to annoy him more. Okay?

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: That's how it works. The older arch is, because Epstein got favorable treatment.

By the feds, in the first go around in Florida, that there's a deep suspicion about this case.

But if you break it down, if the Biden administration had any dirt on any Republican associated with Epstein. It would have been out.

And vice-versa.

If the Republicans had any dirt on any Democrats. Now, we know that former president Clinton, was involved with Epstein to some extent.

I don't know if that was a factor, okay? I don't know.

But your right for once. You're right. It's about credibility. It's about the American people trusting that we do have equal justice for all!

So what do you -- what do you make of now the Russia gate thing, coming out, today. Or yesterday.

The FISA court.

The fact that they're now saying, hey.

You know, we need to hold Brennan accountable.

We're like five or six days away.

Weeks away from him, you know, slipping past the -- the statute of limitations.

I mean, all these things are out today.

There's that. There is also the -- let's see here.

The Secret Service -- I think this happened a year ago.

But it's being reported as if it's news.

Secret Service suspends six agents assigned to protect Trump during a Butler assassination attempt. I mean, all these things are coming out. Like, look, we're busy on all these things. And I do believe they're busy on these things.

But it's like the Keystone Cops are in charge of the PR on this. It's bad.

BILL: Well, there's a lot of politics involved in both of those cases. Number one, in order to get Comey and Brennan to get indicted by a grand jury. Federal grand jury, and that's the only passage, you would have to have a whistle-blower, saying, yeah, these guys abused their power. I worked for them. And they absolutely wanted to get Trump.

And they knew the Russia dossier was phony.

And they did it anyway.

If I have that Justice Department.

Then you can get those guys.

If you don't have it, they will not be even indicted by a grand jury.

GLENN: So how is it that we do not have that Justice Department?

How do we not have that Justice Department?

BILL: Well, look. I don't know whether they have a whistle-blower or not, okay?

And if they have a whistle-blower, I want the case to go forward.

I want those two men indicted.

You can't do that, at that level.

As far as the Secret Service is concerned, monumental screw up. Everybody knows it. They fired the morons in charge of it. That woman -- I was embarrassed listening to her, trying to explain.

They didn't know what the deuce was going on. But this was across-the-board, in the Biden administration.

You know, it was a year ago Sunday, this upcoming Sunday.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: And it's just another example of how the Biden administration was the second worst administration in the history of this country. People have no idea how bad it was.

Every single agency was chaotic. Nothing worked. And this is just part of that. And we'll have a slew of stuff on Sunday. Nothing really meaningful.

I mean, they suspended the Secret Service agents, as they should have. They fired the director as they should have. The guy was a nut.

I don't know if there was anything more to that. I doubt it.

I'm more interested in the guy in the bushes. Because they don't know anything about him. I would like to know a little bit about him.

But again, the federal government, it doesn't really matter. It's the government. They never want to tell us stuff, Beck, never.

We always have to pull it out of them. It's almost like Russia or something. Come on!

GLENN: Right. Yeah. Let me ask you, let me take you back again to the Epstein thing.

I noticed yesterday, there were these people who were on the left. Who were taking tweets of mine. That say, look. These things don't make sense. On the Epstein thing. And they just have to be answered. And not anti-Trump at all.

And yet, the anti-Trump people were retweeting that, and they're trying to -- they're trying to get the right to fight against itself again and split people away from Donald Trump, where I don't think this Epstein thing is -- is splitting people from Donald Trump, at least at this point.

And I -- you know, I -- my wife stopped me from answering some of those tweets, yesterday.

Because it's never good, when you -- when I tweet in anger. Which I did.

But -- or was going to. What did you think about how this is being used against the right to try to separate us even more?

BILL: Everything is political. Everybody knows that for you.

But the MAGA people, from the mail I get. And I get a voluminous amount of mail. They're not happy.

GLENN: Oh, I agree. I'm not happy.

BILL: Now, are they going to throw President Trump under the cliché-ridden bus? No. Because to them, the greater good is being served by a fair tax bill.

Trying to cut waste.

Dealing with Iran effectively. And hopefully dealing with Putin.

That's another thing, that's on Trump's plate.

He has to deal with Putin now.

Has to. And that will be the next big story.

GLENN: How is he going to deal with it?

BILL: Lavrov and Rubio, are in Indonesia, as we speak.

And I assume that Rubio is delivering a message. That you either stop, or we're going to just absolutely crush you economically. Which the United States can do. By saying. No bank does business with Moscow.

And if you do business, no matter what bank you are, we're going to put you out of business.

Okay?

GLENN: Yeah. I've only got a couple of seconds. But didn't we already do that under Biden?

BILL: No! We didn't do the banks. We did the sanctions. And the sanctions they can always get around, because China is going to buy as much oil from Russia as possible.

You stop the banks, from doing all business with Moscow? Who is going --

GLENN: Isn't that what the SWIFT thing was all about?

When we kicked them off of SWIFT, wasn't that what that was all about?

BILL: No! Because they can still do a huge business with countries buying their oil.

And they got to pay Putin and Russia for the oil, and that has to go through the banking system.

If you stop the banking system, he can't get paid.

GLENN: Hmm, it's amazing. I'm glad I'm not the president right now. I think he's made some very brave decisions, and he is walking a tightrope. I mean, the world is on edge. And I pray for --

BILL: He looks very tired to me. Very tired. I haven't talked to him in a while, which is unusual. But you're right. You're absolutely right. That's the second time you've been right in this conversation. My God!

GLENN: I know. It's crazy.

BILL: What in the world.

GLENN: I was wrong about you being dead.

BILL: What is happening?

GLENN: It's good -- it's good to talk to you, my friend. Is everything okay? Is everything going well?

BILL: Everything is all right, Beck. We are not only successful, but that's old news. We've been that way for 50 years, but I appreciate you having me on your fine program.

GLENN: Okay. I love you.

BILL: Stu is still breathing.

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: So that's good. Right.

But I've got a big book called Confronting Evil. Of course, we sent it, and of course you denied getting it. That comes out September 9th, so put me on a dance card.

GLENN: Well, we'll have you on. And you can also find Bill and his YouTube page. YouTube.com/BillOReilly. Or is it The Walking Dead?
(laughter)
He's not even laughing. Maybe he hung up. Bill O'Reilly, great to have him on.
