Breaking News: Al Gore Relinquishes Legacy to Global Warming and Swimming Fish

How Al Gore sleeps at night shall remain a discussion for another day. For now, the topic is on the former vice president's legacy.

In a recent interview on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace challenged Gore's claims --- made over a decade ago --- while promoting his film An Inconvenient Truth:

Wallace: In 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie. You said unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within ten years, and you called it a true planetary emergency. We're 11 years later, weren't you wrong?
Gore: Well, we have seen a decline in emissions on a global basis. For the first time, they've stabilized and started to decline.

How convenient for Gore to change the parameters of his catastrophic prophecy that didn't come true.

Incredulously, Gore continued and somehow made this claim with a straight face:

Gore: I went down to Miami and saw a fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. The same thing is true in Honolulu.

Gore --- and President Obama --- made the same claim in 2015, as reported and debunked by the Miami Herald.

"Do people not care about how [they're] remembered?" Glenn asked Monday on radio. "I just think everything is going to come undone with all of this stuff. Lies only stand for so long. The truth eventually comes out."

It may not happen within the next five, 10 or 20 years --- even 100 years --- but eventually, everybody will make fun of Al Gore.

"At some point, Al Gore's children to great-grandchildren are sitting in class going, oh, jeez. I'm not brining up my stupid great-grandfather," Glenn said.

Enjoy the complimentary clip or read the transcript for details.

GLENN: I don't think so.

Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here.

There's a book out called Mistakes Were Made, But Not By Me. We've talked about it a couple of times. I went and I earmarked some things in this that are -- the book is trying to understand cognitive dissonance and why we -- why we have such an aversion to making an apology or -- or saying, yeah, that was my fault. When we claim we are hungry for people to do that. We are in our own lives don't do that. Some amazing stories out of this book I want to share with you, and how they apply to our life.

Also, we want to get to the big news. There is big breaking news out of Miami that is stunning and I'm -- I'm not sure why the media is not -- don't laugh.

PAT: No, I'm -- it's only so I wouldn't cry. That's why.

GLENN: It is -- you know, Al Gore was on television yesterday telling a story. And it's more than a story.

PAT: It's heart-wrenching.

GLENN: It's heart-wrenching. And it's news. It's hard news. And why the media won't cover this is beyond me.

PAT: It's a cover-up. It's a cover-up.

GLENN: Call Alex Jones. Wait until you hear the latest from Al Gore. We begin there, right now.

(music)

GLENN: Welcome to Monday. So glad that you are with us. Let's start with Al Gore breaking some pretty amazing news yesterday on Fox. Listen to this.

MEGYN: In 2006, you made the following comments as part of your publicity for the movie. You said unless we took, quote, drastic measures, the world would reach a point of no return within ten years, and you called it a true planetary emergency. We're 11 years later, weren't you wrong?

AL: Well, we have seen a decline in emissions, on a global basis. For the first time they've stabilized and started to decline.

GLENN: Stop for a second.

PAT: He always changes the parameters there. Because he was -- the question was, you said we had to take drastic measures. Now, everybody knows drastic measures have not been taken. They've not been taken. And we're still not in a crisis.

GLENN: Well, here's the deal. Here's the deal: He is using the 2008 financial crisis and the global recession that we have been in as a good thing.

PAT: Uh-huh. That's true. That is true.

STU: That is the best proven way to reduce emissions is economic catastrophe. It happened in the Soviet Union.

GLENN: Yes. Yes. Yes.

PAT: Still, those were not drastic measures. You know, the economic downturn did not cause drastic changes.

GLENN: But it's also not the way carbon emissions work. You don't stop driving your car and then tomorrow, the earth is like, oh, I can breathe for a --

PAT: Exactly. And he would admit that, right?

STU: Of course. It's up to 200 years, between 80 and 200 years usually for CO2 to dissipate out of the atmosphere.

PAT: It's crazy.

GLENN: So if we stopped it all, it would still take a minimum of 80 years.

PAT: If you stopped all cars --

GLENN: It would still take a minimum of 80 years to impact the earth.

STU: So it's got nothing to do with -- by the way, leveling off because of, largely, a financial crisis. And some other factors. But, still, this is not like some incredible downturn.

PAT: No. Nothing drastic has happened.

GLENN: So he's saying that we're not seeing the results that he predicted in the movie. Because we've had a leveling off. Which he said, the only drastic measures happening today would be able to stop them.

AL: Well, the responses over the last ten years have helped.

PAT: Have helped.

AL: But unfortunately, regrettably -- a lot of serious damage has been done. Greenland, for example, is losing 1 cubic kilometer of ice every single day.

I went down to Miami and saw a fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. The same thing is true in Honolulu.

GLENN: Wait. Wait.

PAT: Wait. In Honolulu. I missed that the first time. It's Miami and Honolulu, where fish are swimming in the streets on sunny days.

GLENN: Fish.

PAT: That is heart-wrenching. Heart-wrenching.

GLENN: Now, how did the news media miss this?

PAT: I don't know.

GLENN: As you were driving your car in Miami, I want to hear from you now. Are you seeing the fish swimming in the street next to you on a sunny day?

PAT: And why are Americans in America hiding that? Why won't they tell America?

GLENN: They're hiding it. Are they all working for Halliburton?

PAT: Of course, they are. Of course, they are. They must all be on the payroll. Fish are swimming in the streets, on sunny days!

GLENN: How many global warming supporters -- people who say, I support Al Gore. How many of them had to die to cover up the video footage of the --

PAT: Too many.

GLENN: -- fish swimming in the streets of Honolulu and Miami?

JEFFY: Got to be video footage. Right? Got to be.

GLENN: Got to be.

PAT: When you take out your cell phone if that was happening in Dallas, I would get my camera out and shoot that.

STU: Now, of course, fish, as you may know, live in water. Occasionally when it floods in various areas, there are fish that could be theoretically on a street.

PAT: Not on a sunny day, for the love of heaven, Stu.

STU: But the Miami is an interesting addition. This was actually something Barack Obama has talked about as well.

JEFFY: Yeah.

STU: This is in 2015. He says, I think -- this is in 2015. I think as the signs around climate change is more accepted, as people start realizing that even today you can put a price on the damage that climate change is doing, you know, you go down to Miami. And when it's flooding at high tide on a sunny day and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets, you know, there's a cost to that.

PAT: How much does it cost?

JEFFY: Yeah.

PAT: How much does that cost for the fish?

STU: Well, there's a fish toll to cross the street.

JEFFY: Thirty-five cents.

PAT: Fish on land. I think that is -- yes, there is a toll.

GLENN: And here's the problem, fish don't have pockets. They have no place -- if you don't have a toll tag -- they don't have a toll tag --

(laughter)

-- to where they get the sun pass. Where they can just --

PAT: This is unbelievable. Do we have Miami residents who are willing to fess up to this cover-up?

GLENN: Now, there's a difference between -- there's a difference between when there's a storm, when there's a tornado, when there's a flood, and just the other day, I saw fish swimming in the streets on a sunny day.

JEFFY: Not to him.

GLENN: I know. Not to him.

STU: By the way, the title of the story that I read that story from: Do fish really swim in Miami streets? Well, not exactly.

(laughter)

And it's the Miami Herald, by the way.

PAT: So great.

GLENN: When did that come out?

STU: 2015. And Gore was also talking about it in --

GLENN: And he's still talking about it --

STU: So this is still one of his lead arguments. The other one being that he called the flood in New York City.

PAT: Yeah, that's a big one. Because that is a prediction come true. That's a straight-out lie. It's a straight-out lie.

STU: I mean, it's a straight-out lie. But the levels this man has to go to, to accomplish this lie is fascinating. Because he said -- well, in the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, he shows the World Trade Center memorial site being flooded. And he's like, this is what would happen.

PAT: And if Greenland were to melt, it would --

STU: Well, this is the point because he starts with that. And his new pitch is, see, I told you, the World Trade Center could flood, and it happened way before I said. That's his new pitch for the sequel of the Inconvenient Truth.

PAT: And according to some of the research from Dr. Maslowski in some summer months.

GLENN: I was actually reading something that quoted a Dr. Maslowski.

PAT: Really?

GLENN: And I'm like, shut up. It can't be the same guy. It's not. There's another Dr. Maslowski.

STU: That's another long-time Al Gore quote if you're a long-time listener. So he -- so he says this.

PAT: Yeah.

STU: First of all, what he predicted was not a temporary two-day flood from Sandy, which he's trying to take credit for now.

PAT: As of Greenland melted, come on.

STU: He predicted a permanent flood of these areas. A permanent flood caused by the entire melting of the Greenland ice shelf. So there's no ice in Greenland at all anymore. Okay?

It all melts. Falls into the sea. The sea level rises 20 feet, and then these areas are flooded like this. He's taking credit as if that prediction was right. Now, what's amazing about it, is he plays a clip from the movie to explain how right he is.

Legitimately, the sentence -- it's either the sentence before or the sentence after it, explains that what he is saying is not true. It talks about how Greenland would have to melt, or half of west Antarctica would have to melt, and half of Greenland, for this to happen. Which we know has not happened, as he just explained in that clip, where he says, what is it? 1 cubic kilometer or whatever he says.

PAT: Whatever it is. Yeah, which is also kind of picking and choosing his stats. Because it's growing in some areas. The ice is growing in some areas and melting in others. That's what happened -- it happened in the '30s. It happened in the '50s. When it warms up on the planet, Greenland melts a little bit. And then in some other places, it actually increases its ice mass. So he's always doing this. Picking and choosing his numbers and changing the parameters of things.

GLENN: I'm just so glad that we're not like that. That we'll admit that we're wrong when we're wrong.

PAT: Yeah. He will not. He's got too much invested in this.

GLENN: Yeah, I know. But you're going to end up -- do people not care about how you're remembered? I mean --

PAT: No, because the media helps him with how they're remembered. Look how celebrated this guy is. He's nothing, but a charlatan and a liar. But he's celebrated --

GLENN: But how is the media going to be remembered? I just think everything is going to come undone with all of this stuff. Lies only stand for so long. The truth eventually comes out. It may not be in the next five years or 20 years. But eventually, everybody is like -- everybody makes fun of Al Gore. At some point, Al Gore's children to great-grandchildren are sitting in class going, oh, jeez. I'm not brining up my stupid great grandfather.

STU: I don't know. I'm less and less confident of that fact every day.

PAT: Look at how Woodrow Wilson is remembered.

STU: It's starting to turn around. So that's positive.

PAT: It's starting to.

GLENN: It's taken 100 years, but he was the president of the United States.

STU: Yeah, but he's been dead for 100 years. He doesn't care what happens to him now. I mean, he may have cared at the time.

JEFFY: Al Gore should have been the president of the United States, I'll tell you that.

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.
