5 predictions Glenn NAILED for 2022...and 2 he got wrong

A new year means it’s time to review Glenn’s predictions from last year, which he declared in January 2022. In this clip, Glenn runs through the 8 predictions he made one year ago, and most of them were SHOCKINGLY true. From COVID's future and a war on crypto, to tension in China and the left’s hatred of Elon Musk, listen to find out which 5 predictions Glenn absolutely NAILED and which 2 he got entirely wrong…

GLENN: So, anyway, for a long-time listener, there are things that I say. And I usually tell you, that I feel prompted to tell you. And they are usually the things that I don't want to tell you.

Like, hurry. You should be where, you know, you want to be.

Because there's coming a time, where you are where you are, and you're not going to move.

But every year, we just look at the news, and we say, okay. Without prompting, just what is it that we think the trends are showing us?

So let's go over this time last year, these are the things that I said would happen in 2022.

Stu, you be the judge. Okay?

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: COVID-19. Just sort of fades away. Despite the best efforts of government, authorities and the Davos crowd, to keep the pandemic going forever. The reality of herd immunity, plus vaccinations. Plus therapeutic treatments, will ensure that both infections, as well as hospitalizations will decline dramatically in 2021 and COVID-19 will fade into the background, very much, moving into an endemic phase in 2022.

For the most part, the pandemic will fade into a bad, muddy memory, like the way a nightmare can fade into just an unpleasant feeling for a couple of hours after you wake up from it.

STU: I think that's exactly what happened. Do you?

GLENN: Yeah. I think the only thing I missed here, was that it was going to start really turning. Right now, I think in 2023, by the -- by the end of this coming last year. And I'll get into my predictions next week, for this year.

But I think this is the year, where it really starts to turn ugly. And flips the other way.

STU: What do you mean? You're saying like a flaring --

GLENN: Like right now. Right now. I think there is this feeling in America, that of course those vaccines were not so good.

Even though -- even the people -- even from the people who took the vaccine. They're like, starting to question it. I think it's going to turn ugly, the other direction. You know, against the vaccines. And against the people.

STU: We'll see on that one. The prediction of it fading away, though, seems really exact to me.

GLENN: Yeah. It is.

STU: Just glancing at the stats. Which I don't pull up that often anymore. That's a good sign of it. That what you said, is true. And I think that it's to the point where it's hard to really remember. That 2020 era. Where like, you were --

GLENN: Yeah. It was everything. Everything.

STU: Everything was locked down. You were wearing masks everywhere. It seems like a bizarre memory from our past. So that one seems exactly right.

GLENN: Yeah. The next one is wars and rumors of war.

Whether it's Russia invading the Ukraine. Or China invading Taiwan or another Iranian cause blowup in the Middle East, 2022 is likely to see one or more wars of the word. From 2021. Erupting into a shooting war from 2022. First one I put was Russia versus Ukraine. Tremendous amount of digital ink had been poured into discussions of Putin's desire to protect Russia's so-called soft underbelly from threats within the EU. This narrative relies on World War II era geopolitics and reasoning. The reality is, there's currently zero countries that represent even a cursory threat to Russian territory. The answer to the question of why is Russia being so aggressive to Ukraine, is much simpler and it is often the case, when it comes to Putin's political motivations. It's entirely financial.

This one is based on commodities. Ukraine is rich in oil. Natural gas and rare earth minerals.

Go into the energy thing. And that they need to be able to have open pipelines set right to Europe. Yada, yada.

And that they would invade, and it would be most likely, that we would get into -- get involved in a shooting war. In Ukraine.

STU: Yeah.

News flash, that one happened.

GLENN: Right. The next one I said, was China versus Ukraine. Sorry, China versus Taiwan. It would seem almost laughable, just a few years ago. That China would even entertain the idea of a military intervention in Taiwan.

However, China may have a unique opportunity in 2022, that the world is massively distracted and distanced from Taiwan, because what will happen in Ukraine and Russia.

STU: And that one obviously did not happen.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: However, it does seem like it's on the docket, you know.

GLENN: Yeah. It is on the docket. You know, a year ago, that one was -- they weren't in Ukraine. They weren't in Ukraine.

STU: The Ukraine thing sets off a series of events that could easily lead to something like this.

GLENN: Correct. War on crypto. See what you think on this one. In 2022, central banks and government authorities will move into an active mode against cryptocurrencies. Most likely using some eye-catching headlines about protecting consumers, but to successfully use that approach, authorities need an event. A major crime syndicate, using crypto. A massive crypto exchange theft, affecting investors. Wow. This is written before 2022. This is 2021, you wrote these.

Wow.

GLENN: Yeah. Suddenly, crypto will become a bad guy thing. Something that government needs to step in and protect us from. First, we'll see laws that make owning or transacting with cryptocurrencies illegal. That will be enough for most people. Especially since central banks will be launching their own digital currencies, as a safe replacement. One that is, of course, tracked by Uncle Sam. Now, all of that didn't happen.

STU: Well, he got the SPF. FTX thing. So that was the -- the event, right?

And that happened late enough in the year, that they're not into deep legislation yet. But they are talking about --

GLENN: Yeah. And one of my predictions coming for next year, is -- we are going to have massive -- well, I won't tell you. Cryptocurrency and central bank currency is coming. But here's what I said: In 2022, central banking and government authorities will move into active mode against cryptocurrencies.

Based on eye-catching headlines about protecting consumers. I think that's accurate.

STU: Sure.

I mean, that one is well underway. Of completing.

GLENN: Yeah. The next one I said, market crash ahead.

Global equities experienced significant sell-offs in Q1 of 2019. Q1 of 2020. While COVID-19 got the blame for the sell-off, similar sell-off in early 2019 had no apparent cause.

From April 2020 to February 2021, the fed made more than $9 trillion of loans to the largest investment banks in the US.

And that's on top of the trillions of other stimulus in fed or Uncle Sam currency printing, that saw trillions more enter the economy over that time.

Consumer price inflation is virtually guaranteed, at the level four to six months from now.

So 2022, will be a choice between inflation, a market crash, or deflation.

During an election year. They say elections have consequences, but likewise, consequences have elections.

Given the probable consequence of a no-good choice place. Talking about the fed. And what are they going to do?

Keep raising up the rates? Are they going to let it crash, et cetera, et cetera?

I predicted a crash. I don't think we got -- you know, we didn't get a crash. But we did see, a significant weakening of the market.

Because of the fed. I think I got this one really wrong. Because the idea here is, this will be one more reason to sell your stock in the DNC's changes in 2022. Because I said, it would also, at the end of 2022 have significant consequences in the election. Which, no.

STU: Well, yeah. It did have -- certainly, changed the balance of power. Which was significant, I think.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: And it did go down certainly in 2022.

But I wouldn't describe it as a crash.

GLENN: All right. More in a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. Having pain in your life, isn't that uncommon. Millions of people have pain every day.

The inflation that hits your joints, whether it's from regular exercise to day to day living. Or just the effects of aging. It is awful. I used to be in pain every single day. Crippling pain. I just -- I couldn't do it.

Well, may I suggest Relief Factor. People told me, try Relief Factor. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It won't work on me.

It works on inflammation. And ibuprofen never works. Well, ibuprofen attacks one direction. This takes four different ingredients, and attacks it from four different directions. I think this is why this works for me. Seventy percent of the people who try Relief Factor go on to order more. So try the three-week Quick Start. See if it doesn't work for you. ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com.

Or you can call 800-4-Relief. 800-4-Relief. And get the 19.95, three-week Quick Start. It's ReliefFactor.com. Or call 800-4-Relief. Relief Factor, feel the difference. Ten-second station ID.
(music)

GLENN: So we're just going over the predictions that I made for 2022, to see if they were right or wrong. So far, one was wrong. But the rest were spot-on, don't you think?

STU: Yeah. You said, the market -- calling it a crash was definitely wrong.

But the tone of the year was certainly negative.

Yeah. So here's one, absolutely wrong.

Speaking of 2022 elections, it's hard to find a pundit or pollster at this point, who is not forecasting a major red wave over the course of 2022 mid-term elections. Given the Biden administration's insistence on supporting policies and programs wildly unpopular, it's not going to be surprising. Voter enthusiasm for democratic voters have never been this low.

Blah, blah, blah. And I said, it would be a major red wave. And then some. No. No.

STU: No. A little red trickle, maybe? They get the House, which is -- if they ever get a Speaker, will be important.

GLENN: That is just so bizarre to me. That one, still doesn't make sense. Other than the Republicans found a way to blow it.

They didn't push their people into going out, and voting early, et cetera, et cetera. They didn't use all the legal things that you can use to be able to help at the polls.

Everybody waited until the last minute. And just, their strategy was, we're not the Democrats. That's not enough. That's not enough.

Listen to this one. The establishment begins to kill Musk. Talking about Elon Musk.

The total outsider. Rebel.

Completely unapologetic about what he's achieved. He's male. He's white. He doesn't apologize for that.

These days, those things don't pass for unforgivable sins in the eyes of the woke elite.

You might expect an Ayn Rand type character, emerging. The leftist elite just will not allow them to survive.

Over the next year, we'll see a highly concentrated effort to destroy Musk.

His business, his reputation, his legal standing, and his wealth.

For his mark -- for his part, Musk has promised to fly a Noah's ark spacecraft to Mars, presumably including human beings, two by two. But if we're reading the tea leaves right, he might wish to accelerate his planned mission.

STU: That's -- I don't know if you saw Elon Musk posting the other day. He said, 12 months ago, I was person of the year.

I mean, it really has been a fall from grace, that is amazing, and so quick.

You know, even when he was saying, hey. I might move my factory to Texas.

And he opened up the factory, obviously before California wanted him to. After COVID.

And there was some -- you know, the left got a little annoyed with him at times. They totally turned on the guy. The guy who started the largest electric car in history. They've totally turned on him.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. And they will destroy him.

STU: I think he thinks he can push through this. Because he's so rich and powerful. He might. He might.

STU: Maybe.

GLENN: But 2023 will be the year, that we will find out.

Try this one out, manmade energy crisis will cripple Europe.

This is before the invasion of Ukraine. Another of the climate emergency narrative-driven realities will also rear its head in 2022.

The results will be devastating to the economies of Europe. And to a lesser extent, Asia.

Further, the happiest man on the continent right now, will be Vladimir Putin. Who will spend 2022 laughing all the way to the bank.

I mean, I think that one was a little accurate as well.

Next week, we will give you the predictions for 2023. On what is coming your way.

Hopefully, they'll be happier. I don't think they're going to be. Because I'm the one writing them.

But maybe -- maybe I'll be wrong. Maybe I'll be much, much more wrong.

Maybe I should start drinking again, and then write the predictions.

Everything is great. I love you so much. And my prediction will be that way the whole year.

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.
