Biden's Amazon BOOK BAN and 13 MORE times the Left accused the Right of doing what THEY’RE doing

Rep. Jim Jordan has revealed an alleged attempt by the White House to pressure Amazon into censoring books that didn't fit its COVID-19 agenda. And yet, the Biden administration has had the gall to accuse the Right of "banning books" (aka removing inappropriate books from children's libraries). Glenn reviews this and 13 more times the Left has accused the Right of doing exactly what it has been doing.

GLENN: In today's Glenn Beck morning newsletter, which is free at GlennBeck.com. You will find these stories. And I will touch on these. Just the headlines. And then we will go back to them.

Jim Jordan chose Amazon files, federal censorship efforts to digitally burn books.

Effective G.O.P. attorney generals face politicized ethics charges. Democrats trying to strip all opponents of representation, in court.

Biden's DOJ continues to abuse the face act.

Completely unjustified medical journal retracts major studies critical of the abortion pill, ahead of the Supreme Court clash.
Montana parents face arrest after refusing to go along with daughter's sex change.

Virginia Democrats trying to pass a bill, to make bipartisan election oversight, a hate crime.

Let me -- let me start with this.

Stu, look up the definition of fascism, for me, will you?

People, when they hear fascists. They think concentration camps.

And that usually is the way they end.

Because you have to have -- you know, you have to get rid of the political people that disagree with you.

Because unless you're in a free state, you can't have people who disagree with you, speaking out.

Okay?

That's the definition. That's the first definition of freedom, is being able to speak your mind.

Well, you can't do that.

And it starts with intimidation.

It starts with suggestion. Then intimidation. And then shove and shoot.

So you have to have these concentration camps. But that's not -- that's not in the definition, if I'm not mistaken of fascism, Stu.

STU: Give you the dictionary definition. A political philosophy, movement or regime, that exalts nation and often race, above the individual.

It's just so --

GLENN: Say it again. Say it again.

STU: Exalts nation and often race, above the individual.

Gee, who is doing that right now?

Tell me who is elevating race above the individual right now?

Tell me. Tell me with a straight face, that is the right. It is insanity to believe that. It's insanity. Every single person on the left is constantly telling us, that the skin color is the most important thing about you.

We're -- it's constantly told to us, that it's defining your entire life.

Your skin color tells you whether you're oppressed or not. Or whether you're a good person or you're not.

And we're the ones somehow.

It's so amazing how this happened. But it is a philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race, above the individual, and that stands for a centralized autocratic government, headed by a dictator, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

I don't know. Which party is about to lose their candidate from being on the ballot at all.

Which one is that?

A suppression of opposition.

Oh, my gosh. I -- you're never going to get to any of your points if you don't turn off my microphone.

GLENN: Yeah. I know. I think this is fine.

It's incredible. And it doesn't include, the biggest part of the actual mechanics of fascism, which is public/private partnerships.

Businesses are allowed to be businesses, unlike in -- in communism.

They're allowed to be private businesses.

Unless you disagree with the state. Then they'll intimidate you.

And eventually, just take you out.

Somebody else will get your business.

And you're gone.

Public/private partnership.

Okay. Now, I just -- I -- I want to drill into your head, whatever they say that we're doing, they're doing.

Okay. Good example. They just -- they call us fascists.

Could you read that one more time, Stu.

STU: Sure. A political philosophy, movement, or regime, that exalts nation and often race above the individual. That stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by dictator. Severe, economic, and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

GLENN: Okay. You can see why they have to stand on nationalism.

Okay? When we say, we're proud to be Americans, and we hold America high in our esteem, it's not at the expense of the individual. In fact, it's because of the -- the defense of the individual.

We're nationalistic. Okay. Paragraph everything that the Constitution says. Everything that at least that I believe. And I think the vast majority of people, that are -- that claim to be conservative.

That truly are conservative. It's because of the Declaration of Independence.

The Constitution. And the Bill of Rights. Which is all about the individual. They're about collective salvation. So if you're not a collectivist society. Or you're not pushing for collectivism.

You can't be a communist or a fascist.

You can't! So everything they say we're up to, they're doing.

And, I mean, just, they said Donald Trump was just killing us overseas. And none of our allies had any respect for us. Well, I think I can check that one. They say that we're nothing, but religious zealots, that would force our religion on children in schools. Who is doing that?

We're asking for school choice, so the individual can choose if they want that or not.

They're -- they've come up with this new woke crap. And LGBTQ, which is a religion!

A religion requires excommunication, if you don't go along with the high priests.

They demand that you stick to the dogma.

There is no questioning of it. Which one has the religion that they're putting in schools?

They say that we're going to have a dictator. Well, public/private partnerships. Silencing opposition. Environmental and social regulations. Medical tyranny. We've got that.

The right is just in bed with big business.

Really? Name the corporation that stands by the right, and -- and waives that flag. Name the corporation.

It certainly isn't Coors. In bed with big business.

That we don't really care about the lives of the poor, and the immigrant.

And yet, with what they're doing, the immigrant is being used and built by the drug cartels. The women are being raped.

Every day, sold into slavery. We don't care?

Don't care about the poor. Really?

Is your definition of caring for the poor, what's happening in LA? What's happening in San Francisco?

Because I think, you don't care for the poor. We're going to make -- you know, they just want to -- they're going to throw you back in chains to the African-American.

Who is doing that?

I just want to overthrow the government. You know, those people on the right. They have no respect for the Constitution. They want to overthrow our system of government. You can't even name our system of government. You keep calling it a ten months. It's a republic.

Well, they just want chaos in the streets. We do.

You were the one with -- what was it? CHAZ in Seattle. You were the one that was trying to get rid of all of the police. And reimagine how we're going to take care of people in the streets. We're the ones that want chaos in the streets.

They don't care about national security. You've had 10 million people coming across-the-board. We all know they're terrorists.

Yeah. But they don't really care. I mean, you know, they -- they're terrorists themselves, you know.

Well, really. Well, I guess if that's true, which it absolutely isn't. At least we're not farming it off to Hamas, and Hezbollah, and Iran.

You support terrorists. You support the terrorists on the streets here in America. They're just going to take away your choice. My body, my choice.

Really? Unless it's anything other than an abortion. You know, they just want to make sure that white people get the jobs.

Well, you've lowered the standard at the FCC. I'm sorry. The FAA. Lowered the standard at the FAA to the point to where if you are "Happy", black, trans, whatever the flavor of the month is, they don't have to have the same test scores even. They don't even have to test and have the same amount of competence, to be an air traffic controller if they're not white. I don't think that's a good idea. Which one is hiring just solely on race?

Now, here's the -- here's the last one. We're Nazis. In Florida, they've been banning books.

Really?

Really?

We know that's not true. We know that came from the left. But, again, if we know that the left accuses us of things that they are doing. Let me give you this. Jim Jordan yesterday, revealed internal documents, revealed the sub -- sorry, the sub -- the subpoena of Amazon, highlighting the Biden administration's efforts to address propaganda and misinformation in books, for the online retailer.

Okay. Wait a minute.

They say, that I'm responsible for misinformation and propaganda.

I will correct anything that I get wrong.

You show me where I'm wrong, I will correct it.

It's not a matter of opinion. It has to be a matter of fact.

Show me where I'm wrong.

They don't. They can't.

I -- I am not for the banning of any voices.

I want to make sure that everybody -- those who disagree with me. They should have a space in society. And should be heard. None of this digital ghetto stuff.

They say, we're burning books, or we're banning books.

And yet, now we have the documents. The effort. Reminiscent of the Twitter file.

It starts with an email, in 2021. From a White House official. Seeking the opportunity to discuss the high levels of propaganda, and misinformation and disinformation. Of Amazon.

Now, why were they so upset with Amazon.

Well, because Amazon believed retailers are different than social media communities.

And provided their customers with access to a variety of viewpoints. For the Biden administration. Letting Americans, actually, read the other side, is unacceptable.

This is a country, that despises Naziism.

And yet, you can buy Mein Kampf. You can't in Germany. Here you can. You can buy Mein Kampf. You can read Mein Kampf out in the open. It doesn't make you a Nazi. It makes you someone who wants to understand what happened back then. What was this guy even saying?

Without even being able to read the insane ramblings. You have no idea what he was even really talking about.

You have no idea, you can be duped into anything.

You can be duped, that, you know what, the Germans really didn't know. Yes, they did.

It's in Mein Kampf!

But here, we can't argue about science anymore.

You can't have those books on sale online on Amazon. So after the meeting, one staffer asked, is the Biden administration asking us to remove books. Or just concerned about the search results in order, or both?

Amazon, after the meeting, moved not to promote books questioning the vaccine. So you're not going to find it.

Wow. Who is censoring? Who is burning books?

Who is silencing people. And the left will just say, well, that's just because it was about the vaccine. Oh, okay.

So if you're right, then you're okay with censorship.

Because I'm not. I'm not cool with that. I really would love to hear the other side. And how, you know, The Great Reset. And all of the things that are coming out from Klaus Schwab.

ESG. Everything else. How that's not true.

I would like to read those things. I have read those things.

Why are you so afraid, of someone else?

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.
