These 3 UNUSUAL factors make the 2024 election the WEIRDEST Glenn has ever seen

"This is the most bizarre primary I have ever seen in my lifetime," Glenn says. With only a year left before the 2024 election, Glenn and Stu review the very unusual state of the race: The leading Republican candidate, former president Donald Trump, is facing multiple lawsuits that could land him in prison, the leading Democratic candidate, President Biden, is tanking in the polls, and we could see a rematch between two presidents. So, can Trump win from jail? Will the Democrats kick Biden out of the race? Glenn gives his thoughts ...

GLENN: So we've been talking about the New York Times polls, that has come out. And give me a snapshot from that, just to recap, Stu.

STU: Basically, it was a poll of swing states.

Which, in my view, it's a better way of doing these polls, than like a national number.

Because in reality, we all know that, you know, Donald Trump is going to win Idaho. And the fact that they can pull a few votes out of that, to make it a national number isn't all that important, right?

GLENN: I am worried about Texas, quite honestly.

Lots of new people in Texas. If they can -- I mean, if there's any kind of fraud in this state. And, by the way, look, they're challenging Ted Cruz.

STU: Well, they challenged Ted Cruz before, and they won. They have Beto O'Rourke. That threw more money out of it, and he still lost.

And, again, when it comes to the fraud thing, that's almost a separate topic. Right?

I'm looking at -- you can only look at this, at what is actually going to happen. If they do some trickery, what will they do?

There's no way you can predict that. When it comes to these six states, excuse me.

You have a situation, where Joe Biden is losing five of them.

And by some of them, very large margins. Nevada by ten to Donald Trump. Nevada, of these swing states, is probably one of the more difficult ones for Republicans to win.

One of the more blue states out of these.

Georgia. You have Trump by six. Arizona, Trump by five. Michigan, Trump by five.

Pennsylvania, Trump by four. If Donald Trump wins Pennsylvania by four points, he will win the election.

And then finally Wisconsin. Which is actually polled. It's been one of those states that has in polling, off more than almost every other state.

Almost always, Wisconsin seems to look more positive for Democrats. Than it winds up being in the actual election. That's important to remember. But Wisconsin here, it's Biden plus two.

Now, the other candidates, they did DeSantis and Haley in these polls as well. Both DeSantis and Haley win Wisconsin comfortably actually. And neither DeSantis nor Haley lose any state against Joe Biden.

Any of these six. That's not been something that's been talked about as much. There are two states, in which DeSantis is even with Joe Biden. But both Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis either win or are tied in these states.

This is the most bizarre, just the most bizarre primary I've ever seen in my lifetime.

STU: So weird.

GLENN: I mean, you've got a guy who they're doing everything they can, to put him in jail.

He may be in jail by the time the -- the election comes around.

And I don't know honestly know if that will help or hurt him. I really don't know.

STU: Think about --

GLENN: It's crazy. Just that.

STU: Think about all the things that are strange.

You have a guy who may go to prison. It may help him. It may hurt him.

The leading candidate is not participating in the debates. That's a weird thing, right?

The leading candidate is a former president of the United States.

That's really weird, right?

When it's not consecutive terms. It's happened.

But it's pretty odd.

On the democratic, you have a guy that is overwhelmingly disliked by his own voters. In this poll. More than half of Biden's voters say he's too old to be president.

GLENN: Listen to this.

His approval on the economy, in the battleground states. The economy, his approval is 39 percent.

STU: That's catastrophic.

GLENN: With 57 percent disapproving. CBS, and I think it was CNN, just took a poll, about, where we are in the wrong direction? Right direction?

Seventy-four. In one poll. And 75 percent in another poll, say we're on the wrong track.

That's historic.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: He has 9 percent strong approval, on the economy.

And 48 percent registering strong disapproval. It's worse than a five-to-one ratio of strong, you know, anti on the economy.
,
Five to one.

Also, separate polling for Gallup going back seven decades. Republicans have never been before enjoyed a larger edge on the primary issue of the day, the economy.

Seven decades. Seventy years. They've not seen polling like this.

STU: Through Reagan.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Think about that.

GLENN: Yeah. 40 percent of people that are polled right now, say they're afraid their income is not going to be able to cover the House and the food, because of inflation. And they know who is responsible.

They are blaming it on Bidenomics.

Real -- real incomes -- declining real incomes make the stables of life, difficult to finance. And housing affordability has never been worse.

This is according to Goldman Sachs. The first time in history, the average apartment rent is $2,000 a month.

The average apartment. Up from 1600 when Biden took office.

Battleground state voters overwhelmingly blamed poor policies for this financial squeeze.

71 percent now say it's government policy that has not been contributed to this rise in rent, with 50 percent blaming the government a great deal.

That's -- that's pretty significant.

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I would say it is.

And, you know, when you look at the economy. There are some interesting breakdowns, when you look at the economy. They're all bad for Biden. There's nothing there.

Even people who didn't like Trump, are saying, well, look, at least the economy was good when he was president. If you go back, Glenn, 30 or 40 years, the only two times that people were really optimistic on the economy overall, were like 1998 to 2000. The end of that -- the Clinton era. When the internet was kicking it in. Right before the recession, that started, by the way, when Clinton was president. But people didn't know that during the election. And then secondarily was the period '17 to 2019. Sorry 2018 to March 2020. The cutoff was March 2020.

Understandably.

GLENN: We talked about it. Everything was going so well, that only some catastrophic event at the end of his term. And lo and behold, a catastrophic event.

STU: We did see one. Listen to this, Glenn. This is an interesting breakdown from the Times on the economy. A pound of bacon costs an average of $7.08 in the US. 21 percent than when Biden took office.

GLENN: 21 percent.

STU: The price of coffee beans has risen 33 percent.

A gallon of gas is 72 percent more expensive. And because inflation affects everyone, it can damage the public more than anything else.

In parentheses, yes, the inflation has fallen sharply this year.

But most prices have not fallen.

Only their rate of increase has. This is something we made a point on this a hundred times. When you can see they're trying to baby -- spoon-feed this to their actual Democrat audience here. And saying, hey. The reason why this stuff isn't working here.

Is the rate might be coming down a little bit. But the prices are still increasing. It's a rate of rate of increase.

But listen to the -- I thought this was fascinating. A president can't do much to bring down prices in the short-term.

Yet, Biden has taken steps to reduce energy prices. Again, this is a Democrat talking to other Democrats.

Think of it from that perspective.

GLENN: We're in Alice in Wonderland.

STU: He approved an enormous new oil project on federal land in Alaska, while enacting billions of dollars of subsidies for clean energy.

Again, we know that doesn't bring down. But the Alaska thing is kind of interesting.

He's been strangely unwilling to brag about the Alaska Project. As Matthew Eglesias noted in a recent Substack newsletter: Biden seems more focused on avoiding criticism from climate activists, than on winning over swing voters who can help reelect arguably the most climate friendly president ever.

Again, Democrats speaking to Democrats.

Ignore some of the context here.

GLENN: My eyes are bleeding. I feel like the guy in Casino Royale, where blood is just trickling out the side of my eye, you know.

STU: You think about it from just a political standpoint.

You have this one thing in Alaska. You would think in this moment, you are touting that to swing states. Right?

You're going crazy. Making it a much bigger deal than it actually is.

There's a similar dynamic on immigration. Undocumented migration to the US has surged after Biden took office, partly in response to his welcoming campaign rhetoric. That's one way to put it.

GLENN: Listen to that. That's Democrats to Democrats. They don't say that mainstream. What rhetoric?

No. We were not inviting -- they sent a strong message. Yeah. Uh-huh.

STU: Many Americans are unhappy about the surge. Although, Biden has since taken steps to reduce the surge. Again, not how I would describe it. However, although Biden has since taken steps to reduce the surge. He rarely emphasizes these popular steps. These are steps that poll well with the American people. He seems more focused on progressive activists than swing voters. So what does that mean, Glenn?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: Why wouldn't he tout -- politically speaking, go to the middle, say, I swear I'm doing stuff. I know you don't see it, but I swear I'm doing it.

Instead, he's worried about criticism from crazy left-wing activists.

GLENN: Because crazy left-wing activists put him into office.

It was the unions. And the crazy left-wing advocates. That are the ones who are also backing him up with muscle.

That's why he's now saying, you know, Israel. You should be nicer to Hamas.

We -- maybe you should slow down. Because he's lost. Or in danger of losing the people, that are behind.

Did you notice the signs?

Did anybody look at the signs that were on the streets of Washington, DC, or New York or every place else this weekend?

STU: You're not talking about the ones where they're painting the Stars of David on the street?

GLENN: No. No. No. Where they killed that woman?

No. I'm talking about the printed signs about a free Palestine. The bottom of it, go look at the pictures.

Provided by the socialist worker's party.

Okay?

This is a socialist-run thing.

So you've got all of that, wrapped up into the Palestinian thing.

He cannot afford to lose his muscle.

He can't afford to lose those advocates. Because those are the strongest. What's going to happen. Is you will have those people, or you're going to have the people that are like, you know what. I'm not even going to vote.

Because that's the way, I think that's the way, your supporters are getting on Biden.

If they don't flip. They're just not motivated.

Because he's not doing anything good. For them.

STU: How much of this is Biden guarding his flank for a challenger, like a Gavin Newsom. Like someone else who will come out of the woodworker and say, you know what.

GLENN: Oh, I think a great deal of it. A great deal.

Listen to this from Axlerod.

STU: David Axelrod. The former -- Obama administration official.

I don't remember his exact role.

GLENN: It's very lately to change horses. And a lot will happen in the next year. That no one can predict. And Biden's team says his resolve is firm to run. I'm justly proud of his accomplishments.

However, his poll numbers send tremors of doubt. Not bedwetting. Legitimate doubt.

Trump is a dangerous, unhinged demagogue, whose brazen disdain for the rules, norms, laws, and institution, or democracy. Should be disqualifying.

But the steaks of miscalculation here are too dramatic to ignore. Only Joe Biden can make this decision.

If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the democratic party.

What he needs to decide, is whether that is wise. Whether it is in his best interest or the country's.

STU: Wow.

GLENN: He's got to have somebody behind him.

STU: He's a power -- he's a big, you know, group of connections inside the Democratic Party.

This isn't just some guy saying this. This is a big deal.

GLENN: Oh, no.

This is Axlerod. This is Axlerod.

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.”

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 reveals how Trump can END Epstein files nightmare overnight!

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.

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.
