EXPLAINED: Putin’s ‘traditional’ values are NOT OURS

The world you grew up in is not the world you’re living in today, Glenn explains. And now, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine complicates things further. Glenn shares two stories that show just how important it is to proceed with caution whenever you want to ‘get on a bandwagon.’ So, though Putin may say he’s fighting for traditional values, those are not the same values conservatives in America cherish today. ‘The band may be playing what sounds like your song,’ Glenn says, ‘but important notes WILL be missing.’

GLENN: All right. I want to -- I want to talk to you a little bit about -- I -- I really, truly believe this audience is going to play a role in saving the nation. I don't know how that happens.

But I felt that so strongly after 9/11. After '08. And it wasn't about those times. It was about, I think maybe these times. It was the future. That you're listening for a reason.

And "reason" is the operative word.
The -- the world has become unreasonable and unstable.

It is not the world, as I told you, yesterday. Not the world, that you grew up in.

And you have to think out of the box.
It's really difficult, especially for people like you and me, that feel very alone. Feel like nobody is standing up. Nobody is listening to us.

Nobody appreciates what we're talking about.

We're not talking about overthrowing the government. We're saying, let's restore. We need refounders.

We need people to restore the values and principles, that have united, not only America. But the western world, for generations.

There's real problems, we should clean those problems up.

But let's not throw away, the good parts of our society.

And we're throwing them away. And, quite honestly, we're celebrating evil now. Our country, and the West has become so decadent. And, quite honestly, I think evil is running a lot of it.

And there's a lot of people that just can't see it.

And there's a reason for that. Things happen slowly over time. You're boiled slowly, so you don't really notice it. You have a normalcy bias. You look for the things that are the norm.

And you dismiss warning signs, because you're freaked out, and the normalcy bias is something that is in all of us. It is honestly, a blessing.
Because when we're in bad situations, we can function.

Otherwise, if we didn't have that natural normalcy bias, we wouldn't be able to function, in very stressful situations.

But just because that's a natural thing. It's a protection of us. Don't let it rule you.

And that's what's happening.
All over the world. Quite honestly.

Look at what the world is saying. The world is saying two things. The elites are saying, more power for us. More control for us.

We know how to fix everything. And we're going to do it, either as a nation state. China, or Russia.

Or Turkey. Or we're going to do it through a great reset.

And the global will be won. America. England. The EU. Japan.

Those are the two choices for the elites.

What are you hearing from Brexit, to the yellow vests, to the Tea Party, to the Canadian truckers?

You're hearing the same thing. Leave us alone. And stop telling us, our country sucks.

Stop telling us, that we're the problem of -- of all the world's ills.

Like, you people had nothing to do with this. You elites. You've been running the damn thing.

And we're to blame.

Get out.

That's really what we're saying. Leave us alone. Leave us alone.

We know our friends and neighbors can do a better job at running things. And you're running from whatever capital you're in.

That's the feeling. There's also the feeling, that it has -- we're open-minded people. We are don't even decent people that will live -- we will tolerate so much, tolerate so much.

We're not hateful people, unless we're taught to hate. But there's a feeling like, is anyone going to stand up, for two plus two is four?

Is anyone going to stand up for marriage? Is anyone going to stand up for hard work? A work ethic?

Is anybody going to stand up for real education?

Real history?

Who is standing up for these things?

Will anybody stand up for God, for the love of Pete?

That's also happening in varying degrees, on the God thing, all around the world. And our churches have pretty much sold us down the river. Where are our churches?

You know, I was having dinner with somebody last night. And we were talking about how -- how close to the edge we all are.

And where is leadership?

And after dinner, I was talking to a friend while we were walking to the car. And I said, you know what, we need a Martin Luther King. But where the hell are they?

We need somebody who understands the American ideals and principles and values. The Bill of Rights. That can talk common sense. And also understands, that individual freedom comes from God.

There is no one on earth, that is a champion for individual freedom.

Now, I bring this up, because we feel alone. And there is a great urge, to see ourself, in other people.

And when you see people, like the Canadian truckers. When you see people like the Ukrainians. That are suffering. And you have a tyrant.

A, it's part of America. To want to be involved. It's -- that's in our blood. We go to help. Okay?

Who is going to defend freedom, if it's not us. Nobody. Everybody else will stand and watch. So that's in us. And it's a good thing. It's a good thing. But you have to be really, really careful. Really careful.

There is a game being played. And as Steve Deace said last night on my TV program, the lowest stakes, we're playing. The lowest stakes we're playing for is the freedom, and the existence of the western way of life. Those are the lowest stakes, guys. This could all be over, quickly. Let's walk with reason. And let me show you how some really smart guys.

And some really bright populations, really destroyed themselves.

And were misguided.

Let me start with the French Revolution.

I will tell you the story with about the day that Thomas Jefferson, and -- and Thomas Paine, went to visit George Washington.

Now, if it wasn't for Thomas Paine, we wouldn't have the Declaration of Independence.

If it wasn't for Thomas Jefferson, nobody would have written it. It wouldn't have been written the same. And I don't think it would have been nearly as powerful. Because that came from him. And if it wasn't for George Washington, we wouldn't have won. We wouldn't have been able to hold it together.

He was the guy that everybody trusted. So here are the three. Some of the three biggest heroes in our -- in our history.

They get together. And they disagree on the French Revolution. Thomas Jefferson. And Thomas Paine say, this is our fight.
How can you sit here -- you like have a son.

You have almost a son, that came over from France. To help. And now, they need our help. And you won't go?

It's not our fight. It's not the same.

Yes, it is. The people are crying out, under the -- the tyrant of the king.

They want freedom. Yes, they do. But it's not the same. It's not our fight.

Thomas Jefferson was calm enough to not say anything stupid. But Thomas Paine was just a -- he was a -- he wrote and stirred people up, for a living.

And he said to George Washington, out of all the people, out of all the people, that would sit around on their hands, when people are crying out for freedom. And those people are French. I never would have thought it would be you, sitting around and doing nothing.

I'm going to France. I recommend president Washington, that you go to France.

Washington said, we're never going to France. And if you decide to go, that is your right to do that.

But I'm warning you, you're walking into a situation, that is not the American Revolution.

It is different.

And if you get in trouble, you can write all you want, but this government will not go bail you out. You're making your choice now. Thomas Paine went. He wrote all kinds of things in support of the French Revolution. Until the guillotines came out. And then he realized, wait a minute. This is not the same fight. Because they were missing something.

Their understanding of God and the church was wrapped up into the king. So they not only believed -- didn't believe in church. They were antichurch. And anti-good. Because, remember, they had been taught, God appoints the king. They knew that wasn't true. So God must not be true.

That's why the guillotines came out. He almost lost his life.

He never spoke to president Washington ever again. A very bright patriot. That didn't see the subtle difference.

Now, let me tell you another story.

After World War I, the churches had so discredited themselves, because, again, the church said, this is what God wants.

God wants us to go in and battle. And God will protect us. Well, God didn't protect the Germans, did they? Did God do that? Were they fine?

No. They lost. And then they were humiliated. So the churches, kind of did what our churches are doing. They're just kind of like, hey. You know, hey, come on Sunday. Hey, come back. We're going to do a stage show.

They did whatever they had to do. Very few remained faithful. We know that, because after Hitler took over in 1933, it was just around 1934, that most of the Christian churches, were meeting to get rid of the Old Testament, because it was, quote, too Jewish.

Now, how did they get to Hitler?

They got to Hitler, because the Weimar Republic, was promising people an escape. They could do and say anything. It was a new world.

And so while we had the roaring '20s. They had the roaring orgies. It was drugs, as much as you wanted. Easy to get. The hierarchy had been overthrown. Now the kids were in charge. And the old people were out. The old people didn't understand.

Homosexuality, wasn't just -- wasn't just okay. It was embraced.

The old traditions of a man and wife, being married. Erased.

The churches were ridiculous. There -- all traditional values had been flipped upside down.

Why do they say that -- why do they say that Hitler was -- this was a Christian movement?

He wasn't a Christian. He hated Christians. He put priests and all kinds of Christians. Dietrich Bonhoeffer into concentration camps. The ones who were really speaking about God.

Why -- why is this a Christian movement?

It's not. But he said the right things, to a desperate people, that wanted to have their traditions restored.

And he said, what happened to us? This isn't us.

This isn't us. Where is God?

Where is decency?

Where is living, like we should?

Where is the idyllic German that has a strong body and a strong man, and can conquer anything. We're in a new era.
Wow. That sounds exciting. Especially if you've lost all of those things.

So here's the thing. Whenever you want to get on to a bandwagon, in times of great confusion, be very careful. The band may be playing what sounds like your song, but either a few notes. Important notes will be missing, or there's extra notes.

That everyone says, wow. I know those extra notes are on the page. But they're not going to do that. They're just like me. When you look at Putin. And say, yeah. He's standing up for traditional values.
There are extra notes on his page.
You can be for the people in Ukraine, and still know that Putin is a bloodthirsty killer, who says he's standing up for your values, but don't we hear that from a lot of dirtbag, two-faced politicians here as well?

I'm going to -- you just give us the White House. The House, and the Senate.

And we are with you, on your values. No, you're not.

How many times are we going to be lied to, by powerful elites?

And then when another powerful elite comes in and says, I'm with you. And then we say, yeah. That's right. They've been lying to us. But we believe you, this time.

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.
