O'Reilly's Takeaways From Comey Testimony: 'He Destroyed Any Sense of His Nobility'

Bill O'Reilly joined Glenn on radio Tuesday to analyze the headlines of the day. Top on the list was James Comey's testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

"What did you pull out of Comey's testimony last week? Give me two highlights that you thought people didn't really understand, or the news media didn't get right," Glenn asked.

O'Reilly offered his opinion, including one bombshell.

"The amazing thing is when he dropped the bomb --- and it certainly was that --- that he is a leaker, that he took notes that he wrote on an FBI computer and gave them to The New York Times," O'Reilly said.

O'Reilly, who live tweeted with more than three million followers during the testimony, took note.

"My head bolted up, and I immediately tweeted, 'That's huge. That's enormous. He just admitted that he's a leaker.' The head of the FBI, going to The New York Times, a paper that hates the president? So there's got to be vitriol there. He didn't go to some neutral place," O'Reilly said.

The second takeaway: Comey straight up called Trump a liar.

"He did that because he was truly insulted, Comey, that Trump said the FBI is chaos, that it was mismanaged. So, look, I understand the emotion there. But, you know, that was a pretty big thing for an FBI chief to do," O'Reilly said.

GLENN: The one, the only, Mr. Happy Pants himself, Bill O'Reilly joins us, beginning right now.

(music)

GLENN: From BillO'Reilly.com. The one, the only, Mr. Bill O'Reilly. Hello, Bill.

BILL: Beck, you back to work, huh? After, what, an eight-week vacation?

GLENN: Wow, I was going to start with something nice, but you go right for the throat.

BILL: Yeah, no. Everybody missed you Beck. People were just stumbling around here in New York City going, where's Beck? Where is he?

GLENN: Right. Right.

So how have you been, Bill? How is your summer going? Hello.

STU: That was it --

GLENN: There he is. Wait. Wait. We lost you for a second. How has your summer been going?

BILL: Everything is good. Just a lot of stuff going on that I have to deal with every day.

GLENN: Like you have to take the dog out to walk. You've been on quite a vacation.

(laughter)

BILL: I'm tweeting. And tweeting makes me nervous because I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing. But this is amazing.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: We do live tweets. We're going to do them today in a Sessions hearing. And we did it with the Comey hearing. You heard about that on your vacation.

GLENN: Yes, I did. I watched it. Yeah, I did.

BILL: More than 3 million people were following my tweets.

PAT: Wow.

BILL: And I don't even know what tweets are.

GLENN: Right. Right. Right.

BILL: You know, but I have the machine in my hand, and I'm watching and then I write little comments like, he's lying, or this is ridiculous, or this is a pinhead right here.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: Whatever. 3 million people.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

BILL: And then I understand that one of the Trump sons then was retweeting what I was tweeting, which I don't know what that means either.

GLENN: Right. You have to check the machine for that.

BILL: There was a whole avalanche of things that happened. So that's my life.

GLENN: Well, sounds -- sounds -- sounds good.

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: So today -- so today you're going to be doing this with Sessions. And what should we expect? Less on the tweets, more on the actual substance.

BILL: You know, Sessions is going to have his rap down, number one. He knows what's coming. So he's got to explain the three meetings that he had as a senator with the Russian people. So he's got -- you got to do that.

GLENN: That's easy.

BILL: So number one, you're looking at a predictable set of Q&A at the top. But then it will get interesting because he has to then say, okay. What do you know about Comey's firing? What did you know about that?

And that's where it gets interesting. Because, you know, you figure Sessions was in on the discussions to sack Comey. You figured that. And how he phrases that, how he puts that, you know, why was he fired, what was the real reason, then you get into interesting territory.

GLENN: What did you pull out of Comey's testimony last week? Give me two highlights that you thought people didn't really understand, or the news media didn't get right.

BILL: Well, the amazing thing is, when he dropped the bomb -- and it certainly was that -- that he is a leaker, that he took notes that he wrote on an FBI computer.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: And gave them to the New York Times. Because, you know, that's what he did. He did it through an intermediary. A friend of his.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: But if you looked at the senators, they didn't even follow up on it. I don't even think they were paying attention. It was like they were somnambulant. And I bolted up. My head bolted up. And I immediately tweeted, "That's huge. That's enormous. He just admitted that he's a leaker." The head of the FBI, going to the New York Times, a paper that hates the president. So there's got to be vitriol there. He didn't go to some neutral place.

GLENN: Yeah, it did show that he wasn't the innocent little Boy Scout.

BILL: No. He's a double dealer.

GLENN: He's a political player. He knows exactly how that works.

BILL: Absolutely. Absolutely.

GLENN: Yeah.

BILL: And it just destroyed any sense of nobility that he might have had because he was trying -- and every senator -- oh, you're the biggest senator. Paul Revere has nothing on you. You know, all of this crap. All right. And then, oh, by the way, I'm a leaker. I did a leak, that I wanted the president of the United States to look bad and hurt him.

And I went, "Whoa." So that was the biggest thing.

GLENN: What was the second --

BILL: Second thing was he called Trump a liar straight out. And he did that because he was truly insulted, Comey, that Trump said the FBI is chaos, that it was mismanaged. So, look, I understand the emotion there. But, you know, that was a pretty big thing for an FBI chief to do.

GLENN: So, again, you didn't pull what I pulled out. And this is the biggest thing of all, especially with the news that's coming from Bloomberg today. And that is the Russians are coming.

We spent all last week with everybody, talking about Comey and Trump and Hillary Clinton, when we should have been talking about the Russian hack. I don't know if you saw the report that came out today from Bloomberg. It's an exclusive. Thirty-nine states. Now, it didn't affect the election. But as Comey said last week, it will affect 18 or 20 if we don't do something.

They got into 39 states. That's double the amount that has been previously known. And they got into the actual counties -- or, sorry, statewide systems, thinking that it goes statewide up, instead of at the grassroots. That's the only thing that saved us, was they were thinking like Soviets, and not thinking like Americans.

And they -- they hacked in, as many as 7 million voters in Illinois. Could have had their registration wiped clean. That's -- that's significant.

BILL: Absolutely. That's a huge thing. The reason I believe that that didn't get more attention --

GLENN: Sounds sexy.

BILL: And I don't think the Bloomberg thing is going to get a lot of attention either. But you're very smart to point it out, because it is frightening how dependent we are on this technology. And how this technology can be used by criminals, and that's who these Russians are. To, you know, harm a nation.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: But people I think know that. I think they know that espionage was --

GLENN: Yeah, but, Bill, this was different. There was no evidence that they were trying to work for Trump or for Clinton. They were just trying to cause chaos.

BILL: Chaos. Don't you think most Americans know that?

GLENN: I do.

BILL: Don't you think they know?

GLENN: I do. But I think we need to stop all this political nonsense and start focusing on, okay. Wait a minute -- that -- in any -- tell me during Ronald Reagan, that wouldn't have been called an act of war.

BILL: Different world now.

GLENN: It is a different world.

BILL: The primary goal of the opposition party, the Democrats, and the media, the national media, their primary goal is not holding Putin accountable for anything. It's destroying Donald Trump. So anything that doesn't play into that narrative is shunned to the side.

GLENN: So then shouldn't we as, you know, defenders of what we believe is true, shouldn't we then be saying, "Okay. Stop -- watch the other hand. Don't pay attention to this. Pay attention to this, because this is going to actually affect our republic, where the -- where the nonsense of, you know, did Donald Trump -- was he in collusion, that's nonsense. This is important?"

BILL: But here's the problem with a story like that: You don't have any other follow other than what Bloomberg has put out and what we really already know, that Putin and his hackers were trying, as you put -- create as much chaos in our election. Is that an act of war? You could say it's a hostile act. I mean, I don't know whether it rises to the fact that we start to, you know, lob...

GLENN: No, I'm not saying that we do. But I know that in any other time period, that would have been an act of war.

BILL: Yes. I'll cede that point to you, Beck. And it pains me to do it.

GLENN: You seem -- may I say something, getting away from the grind every day, you seem happier than I've possibly ever even suspected you could be.

BILL: Happier.

GLENN: Yeah. You seem almost, dare I say it, less morose.

BILL: I don't have to commute into New York City every day. So that is enormous.

GLENN: Yes.

BILL: The rest of it, I'm not going to comment on. Although, I will tell you that over a 20-year period at Fox News, I worked as hard as a human being could possibly work. And now I don't have to work --

GLENN: No, I saw you. I saw you arrive and I saw you --

BILL: So, you know, those things make you a little more buoyant. Word of the day, "buoyant."

GLENN: Yes. Buoyant. We'll say it with you.

BILL: So another good observation from Beck, after an eight-week vacation. He's refreshed. And ready to go.

(chuckling)

JEFFY: And more buoyant.

GLENN: Yeah.

When is your vacation up, Bill?

BILL: I never go -- I mean, I have -- somebody has got to keep an eye on this country.

GLENN: Right. Right. So let me go here. It came out last night that Donald Trump may be considering -- may be considering dumping the -- the special counsel Mueller. What do you think of that idea, and what will happen if he does?

BILL: Well, number one, I really don't analyze gossip, and that's what that is. So that would be a bad move if Trump did that.

PAT: Very.

BILL: I don't think he will.

I think there's mischief afoot. Mischief afoot. I think that these kinds of things get out there for a reason.

GLENN: Well, okay. Hang on. Here's how it came out --

BILL: Yeah, I know how it came out.

GLENN: Yeah. The head of NewsMax met at the White House, left, went to PBS. Said it on the air.

BILL: Right.

GLENN: So somebody in the White House was talking to him --

BILL: But Ruddy was clear -- head of NewsMax, Christopher Ruddy. I know him. You know him. He's an honest man. He was clear that nobody told him that. He just surmised it.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

BILL: Or he took something -- or this is a deduction of his.

GLENN: Hang on just a second. Wait. Wait. Wait. Just a second. I've been to the White House. I've been in the Oval. You've been in the Oval. That's a condition of even being in the Oval. You can't ever quote the president.

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: You can say I felt that this might have been what he was thinking. Even if he said it to you. That's the way you have to phrase it.

BILL: You know, I just don't -- I just don't analyze gossip and stuff like that.

GLENN: All right. All right.

BILL: To me, if there is an official announcement -- there's something going on because Spicer dealt with it too in a coy way. "Coy," another word of the day. C-O-Y, coy.

Spicer, who is a zombie of the greatest order, you would -- you know, he -- when he starts to play those kinds of games, well, we didn't really say that. But, you know, let's see what happens -- you know that they're trying to create mischief. Which is what the Trump White House does. It plays like a cat and a ball -- plays -- you know, and throws these things out. I don't think that's a good thing for President Trump. I think he probably disagrees with me on that. But they do this, you know, to be provocative. I don't know why. But right now, I don't think Mueller is going anywhere.

GLENN: Okay. We'll be back with Bill O'Reilly. And he's got a book or something for Father's Day that will be great. And it's at BillO'Reilly.com. It's Killing fill in the blank. And your father will love it. Who are you killing this time, Beck?

BILL: You, Beck. You. You. But I'm going to miss you probably more than anyone.

GLENN: Oh, I feel like the end of Wizard of Oz. That is so sweet. Why are you going to miss me? Are you going away?

BILL: No. But I -- in the book, if you --

GLENN: Oh, if I get offed --

BILL: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. All right. At least we know how it ends.

BILL: No, but I would never do that because I'm your biggest defender, and you know it.

GLENN: The killer was Bill O'Reilly.

Barack & Michelle tried to END divorce rumors. It DIDN'T go well

Former president Barack Obama recently joined his wife Michelle Obama and her brother on their podcast to finally put the divorce rumors to rest … but it didn’t exactly work. Glenn Beck and Pat Gray review the awkward footage, including a kiss that could compete for “most awkward TV kiss in history.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Now, let me -- let me take you to some place. I think kind of entertaining.

Michelle Obama has a podcast. Who knew?

She does it with her brother. Who knew? It's -- you know, I mean, it's so -- it's a podcast with two brothers. Right?

And -- and it -- they wanted to address the rumors, that they're getting a divorce. And this thing seems so staged.

I want you to -- listen to this awkward exchange on the podcast.

Cut one please.

VOICE: Wait, you guys like each other.

MICHELLE: Oh, yeah. The rumor mill. It's my husband, y'all! Now, don't start.

OBAMA: It's good to be back. It was touch-and-go for a while.

VOICE: It's so nice to have you both in the same room today.

OBAMA: I know. I know.

MICHELLE: I know, because when we aren't, folks things we're divorced. There hasn't been one moment in our marriage, where I thought about quitting my man.

And we've had some really hard times. We've had a lot of fun times. A lot of adventures. And I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to.

VOICE: Okay. Don't make me cry.

PAT: Aw.

GLENN: I believed her. Now, this is just so hokey.

VOICE: And welcome to IMO.

MICHELLE: Get you all teared up. See, but this is why I can't -- see, you can take the hard stuff, but when I start talking about the sweet stuff, you're like, stop. No, I can't do it.

VOICE: I love it. I'm enjoying it.

MICHELLE: But thank you, honey, for being on our show. Thank you for making the time. We had a great --

VOICE: Of course, I've been listening.

PAT: What? No!

GLENN: They're not doing good. They're not doing good.

Okay. And then there was this at the beginning. And some people say, this was very awkward. Some people say, no. It was very nice.

When he walks in the room, he gives her a hug and a kiss. Watch.

Gives her a little peck on the cheek.

PAT: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

GLENN: Does that --

PAT: Does that look like they're totally into each other?

GLENN: Well, I give my wife a peck on the cheek, if she walks into a room.

PAT: Do you? If you haven't seen her in months and it seems like they haven't, would you kiss her on the cheek? Probably not.

GLENN: No, that's a little different. That would be a little different. But I wouldn't make our first seeing of each other on television.

PAT: Yeah, right, that's true. That's true.

GLENN: But, you know, in listening to the staff talk about this. And they were like, it was a really uncomfortable -- okay.

Well, maybe.

PAT: I think it was a little uncomfortable.

GLENN: It was a little uncomfortable.

It's still, maybe. Maybe.

But I don't think that rivals -- and I can't decide which is the worst, most uncomfortable kiss.

Let me roll you back into the time machine, to Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Do you remember this kiss?
(applauding)

GLENN: He turns away, immediately away from the camera. Because he's like.

PAT: He was about to vomit. Yeah.

GLENN: It was so awkward. When that happened, all of us went, oh, my gosh. He has only kissed little boys. What are we doing? What is happening?

He doesn't like women, what is happening?

And then there's the other one that sticks out in my mind of -- and I'm not sure which is worse. The Lisa Marie or the Tipper in Al Gore.

VOICE: The kiss. The famous exchange during the 2000 democratic convention was to some lovely, to others icky.
(laughter)

GLENN: That's an ABC reporter. To some lovely, others icky.

And it really was. And it was -- I believe his global warming stuff more than that kiss.
(laughter)
And you know where I stand on global warming.

That was the most awkward kiss I think ever on television!

PAT: Yeah. It was pretty bad. Pretty bad.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So when people who are, you know -- these youngsters.

These days. They look at Barack and Michelle. They're like, that was an awkward kiss.

Don't even start with me.

We knew when we were kids, what awkward kisses were like.

PAT: The other awkward thing about that.

She claims, there was not been one moment in their marriage.

Where she's considered reeving him.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: She just said a while ago. A month or a year ago, she hated his guts for ten years. She hated it.

GLENN: Yeah. But that doesn't mean you'll give up.

PAT: I guess not. I guess not. Maybe you enjoy being miserable.

I don't know.

GLENN: No. I have to tell you the truth.

My grandmother when I got a divorce, just busted me up forever. I call her up, and I said, on my first marriage.

Grandma, we're getting a divorce.

And my sweet little 80-year-old grandmother, who never said a bad thing in her life said, excuse me?

And I said, what?

We're getting a divorce.

And she said, how dare you.

I said, what's happening. And she said, I really thought you would be the one that would understand. Out of everybody in this family, I thought you would understand.

And I said, what?

And she said, this just -- this just crushed me when she said it.

Do you think your grandfather and I liked each other all these years? I was like, well, yeah.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Kind of. And she said, we loved each other. But we didn't always like each other. And there were times that we were so mad at each other.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh.

STU: But we knew one thing: Marriage lasts until death!

PAT: Did she know your first wife?

GLENN: Okay. All right. That's just not necessary.

No, Trump’s tariffs ARE NOT causing inflation

The media is insisting that President Trump's tariffs caused a rise in inflation for June. But Our Republic president Justin Haskins joins Glenn to debunk this theory and present another for where inflation is really coming from.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Justin Haskins is here. He is the president of Our Republic. And the editor-in-chief of stoppingsocialism.com.

He is also the coauthor with me at the Great Reset, Dark Future, and Propaganda War.

So, in other words, I'm saying, he doesn't have a lot of credibility. But he is here to report -- I don't even think you're -- you're -- you were wrong on this, too, with the tariffs. Right?

JUSTIN: Well, at some point, I was wrong about everything.

GLENN: Yeah, right. We are all on the road to being right.

But this is coming as a shock. You called yesterday, and you said, Glenn, I think the tariff thing -- I think the president might be right.

And this is something I told him, if I'm wrong. I will admit that I'm wrong.

But I don't think I'm wrong.

Because this goes against everything the economists have said, forever.

That tariffs don't work.

They increase inflation.

It's going to cost us more.

All of these things. You have been study this now for a while, to come up with the right answer, no matter where it fell.

Tell me what's going on.

JUSTIN: Okay. So the most recent inflation data that came out from the government, shows that in June, prices went up 2.7 percent. In May, they went up 2.4 percent. That's compared to a year prior. And most people are saying, well, this is proof that the tariffs are causing inflation.

GLENN: Wait. That inflation is -- the target is -- the target is two -- I'm sorry.

We're not. I mean, when I was saying, it was going to cause inflation. I thought we could be up to 5 percent.

But, anyway, go ahead.

JUSTIN: So the really incredible thing though. The more you look at the numbers. The more obvious it is, that this does not prove inflation at all.

For starters, these numbers are lower, than what the numbers were in December and January.

Before Trump was president. And before we had any talk of tariffs at all.

So that is a big red flag right at the very beginning. When you dive even deeper into the numbers, what you see is there's all kinds of parts of the Consumer Price Index that tracks specific industries, or kinds of goods and services. That should be showing inflation, if inflation is being caused by tariffs, but isn't.

So, for example, clothing and apparel. Ninety-seven percent, basically.

About 97 percent according to one report, of clothing and apparel comes overseas, imported into the United States.

GLENN: Correct.

JUSTIN: So prices for apparel and clothing should be going up. And they're not going up, according to the data, they're actually going down, compared to what they were a year ago. Same thing is true with new vehicles.

Obviously, there were huge tariffs put on foreign vehicles, not on domestic vehicles. So it's a little bit more mixed.

But new vehicle price are his staying basically flat. They haven't gone up at all. Even though, there's a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and car parts. And then we just look at the overall import prices. You just -- sort of the index. Which the government tracks.

What we're seeing is that prices are basically staying the same, from what they were a year ago.

There's very, very little movement overall.

GLENN: Okay. So wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait.

Let me just -- let me just make something career.

Somebody is eating the tariffs. And it appears to be the companies that are making these things. Which is what Donald Trump said. And then, the -- you know, the economist always saying, well, they're just going to pass this on in the price.

Well, they have to. They have to get this money some place.

So where are they?

Is it possible they're just doing this right now, to get past. Because they know if they jack up their price, you know, they won't be able to sell anything. What is happening?

How is this money, being coughed up by the companies, and not passed on to the consumer.

JUSTIN: Yeah, it could be happening. I think the most likely scenario, is that they are passing it along to consumers. They're just not passing it along to American consumers.

In other words, they're raising prices elsewhere. To try to protect the competitiveness with the American market. Because the American market is the most important consumer market in the world.

And they probably don't want to piss off Donald Trump either, in jacking up prices. And then potentially having tariffs go up even more, as a punishment for doing that.

Because that's a real option.

And so I think that's what's happening right now.

Now, it's possible, that we are going to see a huge increase in inflation. In six months!

That's entirely possible.

We don't know what's going to happen. But as of right now, all the data is suggesting that recent inflation is not coming from consumer goods being imported, or anything like that.

That's not where the inflation is coming.

Instead, it's coming from housing.

That's part of the CPI at that time.

Housing is the cause of inflation right now.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. It's not housing, is it?

Because the things to make houses is not going through the roof. Pardon the pun. Right?

It's not building.

JUSTIN: No. No. The way the CPI calculates housing is really stupid. They look basically primarily at rent. That's the primary way, they determine housing prices.

GLENN: Okay.

JUSTIN: That so on they're not talking about housing costs to build a new house.

Or housing prices to buy a new house.

They are talking about rent.

And then they try to use rent data, as a way of calculating how much you would have to pay if you owned a house, but you had to rent the same kind of house.

And that's how they come up with this category.

GLENN: Can I ask you a question: Is everybody in Washington, are they all retarded?
(laughter)
Because I don't. What the hell. Who is coming up with that formula?

JUSTIN: Look. I mean, sort of underlying this whole conversation, as you -- as you and I know, Glenn.

And Pat too. The CPI is a joke to begin with.

GLENN: Right.

JUSTIN: So there's all kinds of problems with this system, to begin with.

I mean, come on!

GLENN: Okay. So because I promised the president, if I was wrong, and I had the data that I was wrong, I would tell him.

Do I have to -- out of all the days to do this.

Do I have to call him today, to do that?

Are we still -- are we still looking at this, going, well, maybe?

JUSTIN: I think there's -- I think there is a really solid argument that you don't need to make the phone call.

GLENN: Oh, thank God. Today is not the day to call Donald Trump. Today is not the day.

Yeah. All right.

JUSTIN: And the reason why is, we need -- we probably do need more data over a longer period of time, to see if corporations are doing something.

In order to try to push these cuts off into the future, for some reason. Maybe in the hopes that the tariffs go down. Or maybe -- you know, it's all sorts of ways, they could play with it, to try to avoid paying those costs today.

It's possible, that's what's going on.

But as of right now, that's not at all, what is happening. As far as I can tell from the data.

GLENN: But isn't the other side of this, because everybody else said, oh. It's not going to pay for anything.

Didn't we last month have the first surplus since, I don't know. Abraham Lincoln.

JUSTIN: Yes. Yes. We did. I don't know how long that surplus will last us.

GLENN: Yeah. But we had one month.

I don't think I've ever heard that before in my lifetime. Hey, United States had a surplus.

JUSTIN: I looked it up.

I think it was like 20 something years ago, was the last time that happened. If I remembered right.

It was 20 something years ago.

So this is incredible, really.

And if it works.

You and I talked about this before.

I actually think there is an argument to be made. That this whole strategy could work, if American manufacturers can dramatically bring down their costs. To produce goods and services.

So that they can be competitive.

And I think that advancements in artificial intelligence. In automation. Is going to open up the door to that being a reality.

And if you listen to the Trump administration talk. People like Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce. They have said, this is the plan.

The plan is, go all in on artificial intelligence.

Automation. That's going to make us competitive with manufacturers overseas. China is already doing that.

They're already automating their factories. They lead the world in automation.

GLENN: Yeah, but they can take half their population, put them up in a plane, and then crash it into the side of the mountain.

They don't care.

What happens to the people that now don't have a job here? How do they afford the clothes that are now much, much cheaper?

JUSTIN: Well, I think the answer to that is, there's going to be significantly more wealth. Trillions of dollars that we send overseas, every year, now in the American economy. And that's going to go into other things. It's not as though -- when this technology comes along, it is not as though people lose their jobs, and that's it. People sit on their couch forever.

The real danger here is not that new markets will not arrive in that situation. And jobs with it. The problem is: I think there's a real opportunity here. And I think this is going to be the fight of the next election, potentially. Presidential election. And going forward.

Next, ten, 20 years. This is going to be a huge issue. Democrats are going to have the opportunity, when the AI revolution goes into full force. They will have the opportunity like they've never had before.

To say, you know what, we'll take care of you. Don't worry about it.

We're just going to take all of the corporate money and all of the rich people's money.

And we will print trillions of dollars more. And you can sit on your couch forever. And we will just pay you. Because this whole system is rigged, and it's unfair, and you don't have a job anymore because of AI. And there's nothing you can do. You can't compete with AI. AI is smarter than you.

You have no hope.

I think that's coming, and it is going to be really hard for free market people to fight back against that.

GLENN: Yes.

Well, I tend to agree with you.

Because the -- you know, I thought about this.

I war gamed this, probably in 2006.

I'm thinking, okay.

If -- if the tech is going to grow and grow and grow. And they will start being -- they will be responsible for taking the jobs.

They won't be real on popular.

So they will need some people that will allow them to stay in business, and to protect them.

So they're going to need to be in with the politicians.

And if the politicians are overseeing the -- the decrease of jobs, they're going to need the -- the PR arm of things like social media. And what it can be done.

What can be done now.

I was thinking, at the time. Google can do.

But they need each other.

They must have one another. And unless we have a stronger foundation, and a very clear direction, and I will tell you. The president disagrees with me on this.

I said, he's going to be remembered as the transformational AI president.

And he said, I think you're wrong on that.

And I don't think I am.

This -- this -- this time period is going to be remembered for transformation.

And he is transforming the world. But the one that will make the lasting difference will be power and AI.

Agree with that or disagree?

JUSTIN: 1,000 percent. 1,000 percent. This is by far the most important thing that is happening in his administration in the long run. You're projecting out ten, 20, 30 years ago years.

They will be talking about this moment in history, a thousand years from now. Like, that will -- and they will -- and if America becomes the epicenter of this new technology, they will be talking about it, a thousand years from now, about how Americans were the ones that really developed this.

That they're the ones that promoted it, that they're the ones that does took advantage of it.
That's why this AI race with China is so important that we win it.

It's one of the reasons why. And I do think it's a defining moment for his presidency. Of course, the problem with all of this is AI could kill us all. You have to weigh that in.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. Right.

Well, we hope you're wrong on that one.

And I'm wrong on it as well. Justin, thank you so much.

Thank you for giving me the out, where I don't have to call him today. But I might have to call him soon. Thanks, Justin. I appreciate it.

The ONLY Trump/Epstein Files Theories That Make Sense | Glenn TV | Ep 445

Is the case closed on Jeffrey Epstein and Russiagate? Maybe not. Glenn Beck pulls the thread on the story and its far-reaching implications that could expose a web of scandals and lead to a complete implosion of trust. Glenn lays out five theories that could explain Trump’s frustration over the Epstein files and why Glenn may never talk about the Epstein case again. Plus, Glenn connects the dots between the Russiagate hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop cover-up, and the Steele dossier related to the FBI’s new “grand conspiracy” probe. It all leads to one James Bond-like villain: former CIA Director John Brennan. Then, Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA operations officer, tells Glenn why he believes his former boss Brennan belongs in prison and what must happen to prevent a full-blown trust implosion in American institutions.
