Election results: Ohio enshrines ABORTION, marijuana into law?!

Election night 2023 didn't go as planned for many Republicans. In Ohio, voters enshrined abortion rights into their state constitution and legalized recreational marijuana. And Virginia voters handed Democrats full control of their state's congress. So what happened? Glenn and Stu give their take. But it wasn't all losses for conservatives. Glenn speaks with Dom Theodore, program director for The Glenn Beck Program, about an amazing victory in Michigan against an out-of-control township board.

All right. Do we have Dom on? Dom Theodore. He's the program director of this program. He's actually the guy who saved my career about 20 years ago. And told me, what are you doing, listening to everybody else?

Your show sucks when you listen to everybody else.

Why don't you do what you want to do. And I was like, you know, I will try that because they will fire me anyway.

And now here we are, all these many years later. Dom, how you are?

DOM: I say it worked out for you, pretty well.

GLENN: Yeah. It did. It did. So, Dom, let's talk about what happened in Michigan last night.

Something miraculous happened in your township.

DOM: Yeah. It's really one township over from where I live.

And I think this audience is -- it's the DCP-run Goshen battery factory. That the state of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer tried to shove down our throat locally. And continues to, by the way.

But what's happened, there were a number of local officials, that early on, kind of signed on to that project in a shroud of secrecy. They used secret code names for it. Like project elephant. And they kept the community in the dark. Well, the community eventually found out about it. But, of course, by that point, after the board had committed resources. And taken votes.

And, you know, supported Goshen.

And it was really too late for the public to respond.

And so the public went into action.

And signed recall petitions for all the board members for green charter township.

Eventually, a couple of them had resigned. So there were only five left, that didn't resign.

And last night, every single one of them was replaced. And the recall election. We clean swept all five of those seats.

In addition there was another seat for the township supervisor, in Big Rapids Township, unlike the green charter township board, the Big Rapids Township listened to the public.

And everyone except their supervisor, Bill Stanik, had decided to go with what the public had -- had wanted. Which was not supporting Goshen. The only one that wouldn't change his mind was Bill Stanik.

He also was recalled last night, and replaced.

GLENN: So what does this mean?

Because you have a Chinese communist company, coming in here, to build batteries. It's -- it has in its charter, that it has to have, you know, a young communist club.

And all kinds of crazy stuff. But Whitmer brought all of this stuff in. Jammed it through. The town councils. They all said, okay. So is this going to stop it?

Or -- or -- or what is this?

DOM: Here's the worst part, they did all this without tax dollars. That's the thing. The money that lured them here. And is paying for most of this, is Michigan tax dollars. So, so that's the worst part.

There's a development agreement in place that the previous board left over. And obviously, the new board is going to look at that. With -- with an attorney. And see what the options are, as far as getting out of it.

There are a number of things that Goshen in the past, has basically been able to come in and steamroll over the community. And against the public's wishes.

You know, it's interesting, the former township supervisor, Jim Chapman, completely refused to take a public survey at any point. Because he knew that this would be the result. And, by the way, Glenn, the margins weren't even close. We won by 70 percent in most cases.

GLENN: Jeez.

DOM: It's clear the community didn't want this project. Never wanted this project. And now we have a board with fresh eyes, as you said. That will look at every option on the table. And see how they can get out of the development agreement. And possibly some other remedies as well.

But what they're going to find now, the township boards are not going to roll over like they had been.

GLENN: Good. Good.

Well, congratulations, Dom. I know you guys have worked really hard on this.

And standing up to not only Whitmer and all the state's machinery. Also the machinery of the CCP is not easy. And here's good guys winning. Keep it up.

DOM: It wasn't me. There were so many people involved in the community. All came together.

And we can use everyone's help. And ProtectMecosta.org, because there's still -- there's actually a lawsuit as well, to try to stop them.

So there's a C3, you know, nonprofit set up, to help tax deductible donations at Protect Mecosta, as in Mecosta County, M-E-C-O-S-T-A, dot-org, if people would like to donate.

GLENN: Thank you very much. Appreciate. God bless.

So that's some good news.

Some good news, taxpayers went and said, no to higher taxes. All over the country.

If I were not the guy that I am, and, you know, hadn't done my homework. Wasn't paying attention in Ohio.

I would have voted against -- or for the -- the abortion proposition. Because to me, the way it was worded, is so misleading.

It was, you know, the -- the state is going to be able to have. It will be in the Constitution. Somebody can get in the way of your wife's miscarriage. You know, and have to manage that for her.

What are you talking about?

It was horrible, the way it was worded. And I think there were a lot of people that fell for it, quite honestly.

It wasn't honest. However, it could be that people just are cool with abortion. I don't know.

I don't know.

STU: And if that's the case, then we are going to deserve everything our country gets. You know, that is where this is going to end sadly.

But you're right, the wording was completely ridiculous. Bringing up things like birth control. Which no one was fighting against.

Fertility treatments, which no one was fighting against. Miscarriage care, which nobody was fighting against.

There was one really interesting -- I can't remember the exact wording of it. But the right to be able to keep your own pregnancy. Which, is there a movement of people just walking out of the street, pointing at pregnant bellies and saying, end that one. I don't know. Maybe there is.

GLENN: Never. I've never seen it.

STU: I've never heard it. I've never heard it.

GLENN: So now in the Constitution is the right to abortion. And another measure that they voted for, to legalize marijuana. Margins on both ballot measures, not even close. Abortion and marijuana both won by double digits. Congratulations.

STU: By the way, totally expected. Not a surprise at all. It was something we talked about yesterday, that was going to happen. It's unfortunate. And now Ohio is basically California on abortion. And I know, look, while some people are --

GLENN: Some are not for the -- the constitutional vote over the summer.

STU: That was the vote that mattered. We knew this would happen once the first one happened. Look, if -- there are people that are certainly to the left of us. When it comes to the life issue. And maybe the people of Ohio are in that category. But they're not as far left as California and New York and Illinois, and now they have the same loss. And it's constitutionally enshrined.

So it will be hard to remove. But that is what this is all about. The point is changing people's minds over a long period of time.

It won't always be done with the law. You can't just depend on votes. You have to be able to convince people over a very long period.

It's important. Because what we're talking about is children living.

And I know it's a quaint, little idea, that we shouldn't be talking about anymore. But we kind of think the children should be alive.

GLENN: Looks like the Democratic Party held on to the governor's mansion in Kentucky. The Senate in Virginia.

They managed to flip the Virginia House.

The biggest win came in two ballot measures in Ohio. We just told you about.

One race in the Virginia house was really close. And I don't have -- can you see if they've called this race yet?

Susanna Gibson. Did it go to Susanna Gibson. Or did it go to David Owens. It was too close to call in the middle of the night.

But Susanna Gibson, if you remember, was the nurse practitioner, who people talked about because she made videos of her performing all kinds of things by request for payment.

In her bedroom.

STU: It appears that Owen did win that race.

GLENN: Owen did win it. Not the her.

STU: And probably the porn issue is a difference here.

It's only about a 3 percent race. About 900 votes, give or take.

It was the difference in this race. So probably, I don't know, maybe -- maybe she will lose by 20 points. The porn thing got her close. My guess was, the difference was, this scandal that came out.

GLENN: You have the Mississippi governor, Tate Reeves. The second term for of him. The Democrat conceded last night.

The assembly in New Jersey remains solidly blue. It was a democratic clean sweep. Long Island goes Republican, so we got Long Island.

Colorado voters rejected property tax measures backed by the Democrats.

In Maine, they voted against a new state utility. And they said, they wanted to change their Constitution. And put it -- remains in the Constitution, but for some unknown reason, at least to me. They took it out of the printed Constitution.

And it's all of the tribal obligations.

That Maine has. That, you know, 200 years ago, they made to the Native Americans. And the people there.

But it's full of white people. So you would expect this.

STU: Oh.

GLENN: They said, hey, we should put that back in our Constitution. So we all remember what we -- where we came from.

And our obligations.

So those racists up in Maine, they voted to restore that.

STU: White people are the worst. Am I right?

GLENN: No.

Whitmer and Jackson Lee. Okay. So here it is.

It's Whitmire, actually. It's senator John Whitmire, running for the mayor's role in Houston. Running against Sheila Jackson Lee.

STU: Exciting. Exciting race. They will go to runoff there.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

GLENN: So you're going to have one of the two.

You know --

STU: Yeah. Whitmer would probably be the better one.

GLENN: Over Sheila Jackson Lee?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: Just for comedic -- just for comedic purposes.

STU: That's true. We don't live in Houston.

So for our purposes, Sheila Jackson Lee would be a better mayor.

Because we would get constant --

GLENN: I cannot believe that Sheila Jackson Lee is actually being considered by a good number of people in Houston. That's insanity. All of this. All of this, just goes to show you, that we are not a nation.

You know, it's not an open-and-shut case.

Everyone knows it will be close. But I don't think that it is actually running in our favor.

When comes to -- you know, the poll numbers.

I don't think -- I mean, I don't think this is an open-and-shut case. By any stretch of the imagination.

STU: In what way?

GLENN: For any of these presidential candidates.

STU: I think that's definitely true. It's not easy to win presidential elections. Now, you do have a very, very weak candidate running for reelection. At least currently in Joe Biden.

Which makes it possible for --

GLENN: Possible.

STU: But it's not obvious by any means.

And I was looking at the Texas results. And he this voted on -- voted here in Texas. Fourteen different propositions.

Only one did they reject.

They said yes to all 14 of them, except one. And that that one was raising the mandatory requirement age for state judges.

So the -- the state Constitution would be amended to increase the mandatory retirement age. From Texas judges from 279 to 75. So the one thing they rejected from all of these. Like creating funds for water.

And creating funds for internet.

And all these other things. The only other thing that Texas projected. Was no more old people. Please. No more old people.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

With Elon Musk’s announcement of Grok 4, humanity is closer than ever before to creating AGI – artificial general intelligence – which would change everything. Glenn Beck breaks down what’s coming in the next year with AI, which even Elon Musk called “terrifying.”

GLENN: Let me tell you the biggest story of the day.

And I think it is the biggest story possibly of all mankind, as of today.

It's going to change rapidly.

I don't know if anybody -- did either of you guys watch the Elon Musk thing last night?

STU: No, I did watch a few minutes of it.

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

GLENN: Okay. So the xAI team was there to unveil Grok 4. This is the latest intelligence, and let me be very, very clear.

Last night was not your typical tech launch. This is a moment that demands everyone's full attention.

We are now at the crossroads, where promise and peril are going to collide. Okay?

I have explained to you, for years, AGI.
AI. AGI. And ASI. Narrow intelligence is what we've always had.

General intelligence is the next step. And that is, it's better that man, one -- one, you know, like Grok. Can do everything. That you can do.

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

When you hit AGI, the road to ASI could be overnight.

Okay?

We need to understand what's at stake here. Because Grok four brought us closer to that second stage, than ever before.

Grok four is a powerhouse. They demonstrated it last night.

It surpasses the expertise of Ph.D.-level sailors in all fields.

It can get 100 percent on any -- any test for any field, mathematics, physics. Engineering.

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

This is a system that tackles problems, so intricate, they -- they go beyond our existing knowledge base.

Okay?

Let's say there is -- let's say, we have a fusion reactor. And the magnetic containment system goes down. I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point.

But it goes down.

And the top minds all on earth are like, I don't know what to do. Grok 4 can step in, model the physics, design new material, stabilize the system, and avert catastrophe. And it can do it about that fast. Now, this is the capability, that Musk says is just around the corner.

Mark my words. You know, how many -- how many years did I say, between 2027 and 2030, we would start to see this?

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

GLENN: For years. Right? Yeah, always the window.

And everybody, even Ray Kurzweil said, oh, that's way too optimistic. We may be 2050.

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

Grok shows us 2026 or 2027 is when we're going to hit it. This is the last year, that we have, before things get really weird.

Okay?

Last night, Elon Musk is touting this -- this AI.

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

And I'm quoting. This is one of them.

It's somewhat unnerving to have created intelligence that's greater than our own.

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

Now, this is a man who has launched rockets, you know, into orbit.

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

You know, after he sees the results of it. He says, you know, it's really -- in a way, quite terrifying to see what it's doing.

But we just have to make sure that it remains good!

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

Now, the key point in the announcement was the mention of ARC-AGI.

I had never heard of ARC-AGI. I had no idea what it was. But I noticed AGI. And I went, uh-oh. That sounds important. So this is the gold standard. The bench mark testing for artificial general intelligence.

Okay.

As I've said before, AGI. Artificial General Intelligence is a machine that matches all human cognition, across all domains.

Reasoning, creativity.

Problem solving. Not just specialized tasks like playing Go or analyzing x-rays. Everything. For instance, Musk said by mid-next year to the latest end of next year, it will be able to create a full length movie, just from a text prompt.
And do it all at once!

So, in other words, it will say, create a movie, and you just explain the Godfather.

It will do the casting. It will do the writing. It will do the filming, if you will. It will -- score the music, and it will happen that fast.

Almost in realtime. We are nowhere near the computational power now, to do that separately.

But this will do it all at once. It will make a movie with all of it, simultaneously.

So the arc AGI system is the benchmark on how close we are to AGI. Remember, scary things happen at AGI.

Terrifying things happen at ASI. ASI could be a matter of hours, or days after we hit AGI.

Grok 4 scored 16.2 percent on the ARC-AGI scale.

Why is that important? You're like, well, only 16 percent away.

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

And that -- they took that test, last time with Grok three.

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

We're at 16 percent. Remember, these things are not linear. The next time, we could be at 32, we might be at 64.

We are on the verge. This is the last year of -- I can't believe I'm saying this. Of normalcy. Okay?

This year is -- we're going to look back at this year, probably two years ago, gosh, remember the good old days, when everything was normal.

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

Everything you and I talked about last night, Stu, about what we're doing in January, make -- put -- does it make it even more critical that that happens like, oh, I don't know.

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

GLENN: You are going to need to know your values, your ethics, your rights.

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

It lacks the full autonomy and the generalized reasoning of a human mind. But it is the closest that we've come.

It's a system that can adapt, innovate, at a level that outpaces specialized AIs by a wide margin.

This is a milestone. This is not a destination, but it's something that should jolt everybody awake. So here's what's coming over the next six months. By December 2025, that's this Christmas!

December 2025, he believes, Musk, that Grok 4, will drive breakthroughs in material sciences.

So, in other words, imagine a new -- brand-new alloy, that is lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel.

And it revolutionizes aerospace and everything else, or a drug that halts Alzheimer's progression, tailored to a person's DNA.

Grok will drive breakthroughs through material science. So brand-new materials that nobody has ever thought of.

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

And chemical engineering, putting together chemicals that no man has ever thought.

That's going for happen by December.

Imagine a chemical compound that makes carbon capture, economically viable. The climate change stuff, that's over.

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

Musk said something that he never thought. He believes that within the next year, by 2027, Grok 4 will uncover new physical laws.

So that will rewrite the understanding -- our understanding of the entire universe.

That there will come -- like there's gravity. Hey, you know what, there's another law here that you never thought of. Wait. What?

That, he says, will come by 2027. This is going to accelerate human discovery, at an unprecedented scale.

I told you, at some point. I said, by 2030. It might be a little earlier than that.

Things will be happening at such a fast rate, you won't be able to keep up with them.

And it will accelerate to the point to where you won't even understand what all of this means.

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

In six months, Grok 4 could evolve into a system, that dwarfs human expertise in economics, defense, all of it.

Now, again, it's a bit terrifying to quote Elon Musk. Why?

Because we don't know, what else comes with this.

This is like an alien life form.

We have no idea, what to predict. What it will be capable of.

How it will view us, when we are ants, to its intellect.

Okay?

It is a tool, but it is also Pandora's box.

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

My feeling is: What I've been saying forever.

2027 to 2030, I'm leaning more toward the 2027 now.

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

And as Musk said himself, two times, it's terrifying!

We should act like it is terrifying.

Or risk losing the control of the future, that we're all trying to build. That's the biggest story of the day.

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O’Reilly’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.
