Will Biden’s border crisis TRANSFORM America FOREVER?

A crisis on our southern border has been ongoing for years now, only getting worse when President Biden took office. Now, with the end of Title 42, the border crisis may escalate to the worse levels this nation has EVER seen. Texas Rep. Chip Roy tells Glenn that the state is ‘under siege.’ So, is Governor Greg Abbott doing enough? Rep. Roy and Glenn discuss what SHOULD be done to end this crisis NOW and how the rush of migrants into America could fundamentally change our country forever…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: We have Chip Roy on with us.

Hello, Chip. How are you, sir?

SPEAKER ONE: Well, Glenn, our state is under siege. And I think the American people are (?) forcing Republicans to take action. But this administration is leaving us stranded.

GLENN: So I don't understand formative we were just talking about Abbott.

I sure would like Abbott to start leading a little bit more than he is. I know he is starting to ship everybody out from Texas to other states.

But that just hurts other states as well. This is an invasion. You can't have four hundred thousand people coming in every month.

And expect to keep your country. You can't. So --

SPEAKER ONE: There's something like 30,000 apprehensions over the last three days. Trying to get (?) a few folks down at the border. Giving me, you know, sort of the latest and greatest.

Or latest and most terrible. And what I'm hearing right now. Is the PBS and national guards folks. The are actually on the front line. Trying to turn away and hold people back. Jocular. Good.

SPEAKER ONE: While Border Patrol is especially (?) by basically kind of order of the DHS. So we've had this kind of flip, where it's actually Texas folks trying to keep them from crossing.

And Border Patrol pulled back to process.

GLENN: So we -- you're the second source we have on this now. So I believe we just had somebody else on. That that's the word they were if we go to.

And they believed it when they saw it. (?) so if you're if we go to that as well. Maybe then the governor (?) is taking charge of the border.

SPEAKER ONE: Well, look. I think it's all a tough call here. I do think the and DPS. Have been trying to throw everything they have (?) you're either striked over. And literally danger to turn away. And return people. And basically force your way in front of Border Patrol.

We don't have the resources. We don't have enough people. We don't have enough folks. And so it's hard. Right? They'll just move to another place. And Border Patrol will usher them in.

And, by the way, this is (?) which they crapped on this last week. Instead of giving more resources to the.

And instead, they're passing freaking (?) gambling bills. That's your freaking (?) you should have given more support to the governor. And didn't do it.

GLENN: So I just talked to Wade Miller. For citizens renewing America. (?) and he said, that if the calls other states, they can send resources down.

SPEAKER ONE: Certainly. I just (?) is probably correct on that. I know Wade well.

And I think there's a number of states I know that are willing to support. I'm confident Florida. Would support.

And look, by the way, God bless Florida. They just passed legislation. They passed the sneakily verify bill. They passed other strong immigration (?) that DeSantis signed. Then they just had a court strike down these migrants. With nothing more than hell. Please show up one day.

Not a required notice to appear. So at least they put an injunction on that for two weeks. So they want to help.

Look, we have to do everything we can, in Texas. I want a call (?) who don't have that

We need all states to kind of work with Texas, to step in the breach. Because Border Patrol, DHS. They're pulling back.

I want to be clear, the Border Patrol agents on the line, they want to do their job.

It's the freaking it's to at DHS that are holding them back.

GLENN: We were just talking about China's invasion plan, for Russia.

And it was to send a million people over the border. To surrender their guns. And to surrender to the Russians.

After 5 million people across the border. And surrender. Russia is overwhelmed.

And it collapses. And they win without firing a bullet.

This is exactly that strategy, if you believe somebody is trying to collapse the United States of America. And I happen to believe that.

SPEAKER ONE: Well, one thing we know for sure. I got reports yesterday from Chinese nationals.

They're running across.

We know that Border Patrol is now being pulled back to due process. They're unable to process between ports of entry.

We know (?) we know we have people from all sorts of places. You know, connected. Foreign terrorist agents. (?) we know exactly what's happening in terms of the border.

And we know exactly what, you know, evil a lot of people around this world want to do.

The problem is, what people haven't come to friendships yet.S is we don't give a rat's rear end (?) and they want to undermine our country. They are literally at war with the American people.

They're undermining our nearly. They're spending us to Tet. They're opening up our borders for (?) from fentanyl to terrorists in China. And you can only conclude that it's purposeful. There's no other logical conclusion.

GLENN: Chip, I will tell you. Next week, I am laying out a plan. A constitutional plan, that we have talked to scholars and attorneys.

And attorneys general about it. And it is something that we do to fight back.

But it is time for Americans to really dig into the Constitution and into their state Constitutions. And find out exactly what could be done. Because we're -- we're in an endgame here. At some point, this will overwhelm.

I mean, I've said it -- look at the growth of Texas. Of Houston.

Of Austin.

At some point, these cities are no longer Texas cities. And I contend they already aren't. They're no longer Texas cities.

When we had massive immigration at the turn of the century, through Ellis island. You were at least given, you know, the -- the books on how to become an American.

They were stressing, you have to fold in. And become an American. That's not happening.

You cannotted amillions of people, to your population. Without -- that don't know, nor care anything about your history.

When our population doesn't know or care about our history. Or our system of government.

You will change fundamentally. And you will never be able to go back to a -- a constitutional republic.

Because no one will know what it is.

SPEAKER ONE: All of this is purposeful. From the education system. To the borders. From what they're trying to do to attack our financial security. Just go down the line. And there's literally no other explanation for it.

We have to, you know, stand up and hold the line.

And I applaud you for going down that road.

We have to do it as a free people. We won't just sit back and allow these tyrants in Washington, to undermine our God-given freedom. That's what's occurring.

I want to be clear. I'm not going to allow that. As a free citizen. I'm going to protect my family. My children, (?) from the tyranny of this out of control government.

Right now, as a member of Congress. My duty is to move the ball (?) it may be too little too late approximately Republicans for 20 years. Have pissed (?) because they were in the hip pocket of the gosh darn chamber of Congress. Well, finally (?) we've finally passed a strong Border Patrol bill. And I'm proud of it.

It's a good bill.

GLENN: What does it -- what does it say, what does it do?

PAT: So the bill is -- literally, Glenn. I wouldn't enabling up. It is the strongest Border Patrol bill ever passed. It would make very clear, that the secretary. A future secretary that is not corrupt for a border. (?) for any reason he or she sees fit. That's a really important edition. It's like Title 42. But across-the-board. And not related to health.

Number two, it would fix all the (?) it would fix the unaccompanied children problems. It would fix the family unity separation problems created by courts.

Examine most importantly, it would require, it would be (?) very specific in the statute. Overtaking other laws. It would say, you may not release, period. Unless someone is having a legitimate claim being adjudicated. And I'm sorry. Not unless -- you may not release period. But you must be detained, or you must be in Mexico. While a legitimate is a asylum claim is being adjudicated. Period.

That's (?) the end of it. It's a good bill. It has E-Verify. But only if we pass the policy changes. It has more -- you know, again some of this is set up for a future Republican president. If our country can even last 18 months. And God, ladies and gentlemen, elected. (?) I'm not sure we can.

If we don't throw ourselves in front of this train now. Which raises (?) and the president.

It races questions about what the states do. And it raises questions (?) about the debt ceiling and the spending fight.

I don't see how I as a responsible Texan. Can move forward either the debt ceiling bill. Or spending bill.

If we don't address the border crisis. It's an absolute (?) security.

It's endangering Texans. We'll see how this unfolds. We have to use (?) by September or both.

To secure the border, as well as other things.

You know, stop pistol braces. Stop the World Health Organization. Stop the spending of money we don't have. Recklessly. Stop the stupid production act tax credits. In view of the fact we did most of those things, in our bill that's passed and sent oar.

Although, we still need to address (?) the pistol braces. And the border.

GLENN: So let me ask you. I just talked to Mike Lee about an hour ago. He said, Congress, you did your job. And you put the rains act in the budget.

And I said to have, just shooting from the hip (?) I think that's worth even raising the debt ceiling some compromising on this. To get the rains act.

I think that reigns in the US (?) government agencies in a way that would be extraordinary.

Do you agree with that or not?

SPEAKER ONE: Yeah, totally. (?) any regulation that has economic impact. Or impact greater than $100 million. Then it has to go to Congress for approval.

Roughly that's the dumb speak version of it. So it would (?) the bureaucrats can do. Without congressional engagement. We've ceded too much authority to him.

So, yes. It's an extremely. (?), yes. I get slapped around from Twitter. From the conservatives who I understand they're frustrated. Because they're -- they're assuming we're doing what Republicans have always done.

We're not. The speaker's agreement in January. What we did in the debt ceiling fight. What we did in the border bill. This border bill is righteous. Conservative. And strong.

The debt ceiling bill we passed. Is awesome. It's chalked full of all sorts of great stuff. That we sent over to the Senate. The question is: Too we have the back bone to not (?) blink when we get up to June. Deals can be made to move the ball down the field. (?) those Inflation Reduction Act, (?) hip pocket of liberal elitists. 90 percent of the dollars going to corporations. They make over a billion dollars. That funds the construction of the gas industry. You'll have a grid that's undermined. Your freedom is taken away.

All to enrich liberal elitists. The reigns acts. All these things. (?) they're good stuff.

Let's be clear. Our border is on fire. They're literally destroying every aspect of our way of life.

Not even talking about the woke weaponized (?) over the Pentagon, for example. So we'll have to take these fights through.

And Lord willing, land the plane with a Republican president. And get in and gut this place.

GLENN: I will tell you, there's not a chance that I will be in Washington any time soon. But the next time you're in Dallas, I owe you the biggest Fred Flynn stone dinner I can find. Thank you. (?)

VOICE: Just keep it up be with man. The American people are on to it. (?) I hope it's not too late.

If you're listening to this, we have to get engaged. We have to do this. Do it for your kids (?) fought for this country. (?) of bastion. You know. Don't just talk go enforcement just wave the flag on July 4th. Dadgum it. (?)

GLENN: Representative Chip Roy from the great state of Texas. And anyone who says dadgum it, you listen to him

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.

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.
