Glenn: 3 HUGE lessons from the midterms & 1 path forward

The 2022 midterm elections didn’t go quite as well as Republicans hoped. But that means that — now more than ever — we just examine what happened, what went wrong, and how we still can save our republic. In this clip, Glenn shares the three biggest lessons he learned from election night. Plus, he explains the one path forward he believes still exists for conservative Republicans and for America…

GLENN: Okay. So what did we learn last night?

I think we learned three really important things. One, Ron DeSantis is the model.

Any Republican that is not willing to look at Ron DeSantis, and see what he did. And how he did it. And begin to model themselves after that. Is a fool.

An absolute fool. He is not angry. He -- he is not divisive. At least intentionally divisive. That's not his goal.

His goal is to be decisive. And decisive people are perceived sometimes, as divisive. Because a lot of people don't want to make changes. It is time to make changes.

20 points. The largest distance between he and a competitor, in the history of Florida. Twenty points. This was the story last night. And this is the path forward.

My question is: Are there any Republican G.O.P. governors that care to join him. Anyone.

Does anybody that is a governor, watching last night, and going, you know what, damn it. I really -- I need to step up my game.

Because that's what people are looking for. They're not looking for another mealy-mouthed person. They are looking for people that take decisive action.

And I will tell you, that's on both sides. Look at people who took decisive action, that we thought was divisive, because we don't agree with them.

A lot of them were reelected. Reelected.

Second thing: Our nation is spiritually lost

Completely lost. There's only one savior. And he's not on a ballot. And until we drop the manifest destiny arrogance of, God is on my side. We will continue to suffer defeat, hardships, and darkness.

And I mean as a nation. We are all going to pay for this.

We're all going to pay for it.

We must be on God's side, and that requires humility. And I didn't see anybody humble, yesterday. Did you? I don't see anybody humble today.

And until we humble ourselves we will have it done for us, and the humbling is going to be very, very painful. I believe that I found an answer last night to something I didn't want the answer to. I've said for 20-some-years alcoholics are going to be the ones to save this country. But we are -- we are just like an alcoholic. We just keep going back to the bottle and saying, I want more. No matter how damaging it is, I want more.

And I've said to you, alcoholics cannot be saved. You can't save alcoholics. They have to feel the ramifications of their own mistakes, and then want to live.

And some people, their bottom is death. And I truly believe now the answer is our bottom unfortunately with far too many people is death. The death of our nation, the death of our lifestyle, the death of our culture, the death of the Western way of life.

When you have no gas, no fuel, no heat, no meat, no control, no wealth, don't own anything, that's the death of everything that you know. And maybe then you'll wake up. I don't know. Third thing is Mitch McConnell was and is wrong. Lukewarm Democrats. Lukewarm Republicans are not going to defeat the Democrats. Just not being a Democrat is not enough. And Mitch McConnell should feel the ramifications of this loss. Mitt Romney said, just last week, he tweeted that a red wave was coming, it was all thanks to Mitch McConnell. Well, it turns out he was right. What was coming was all thanks to Mitch McConnell. This is not leadership, Mitch McConnell, Carl Rove, their ilk. They don't offer us anything. There is no vision there. This is thanks to Mitch McConnell.

I have a hard time not calling what he actually proposes, collusion. Where is the path forward? And what is it?

A slower trip to hell is this

Mitch McConnell said over the summer. We don't have to do anything. We just have to not be Democrats.

That's not enough.

Now, let me get off Mitch McConnell here, and ask all of the Republicans, where do you begin to declare who you are?

We need to declare who we are.

The Declaration of Independence didn't just say, we just don't have -- we just don't want to be like the king.

It's not what it said. It was clear. We're different. We want to go a way, that no one else wants to go. Because we believe certain things. Because we have spiritual wisdom.

We have spiritual wisdom. We know what's true. And what is not.

And with that spiritual wisdom, applied. We see things that are self-evident, that you don't!

We don't need to indoctrinate our people, we don't need to stop speech. We don't need to put people in jail, because they disagree.

These things are obvious, when you humble yourself, enough to fight for his will, and not our will.

What do we have now that are self-evident truths?

Seriously, what do we have? There's a portion of the Democrats, that will mouth the words -- all men are created equal. But they don't really live it. They don't believe it. They're just as likely to you know put somebody in -- you know for revenge purposes or whatever. They're just as likely to violate the Constitution as anybody on the left. And the left, they're experts at that.

I know what those truths are. I don't think I know. I know.

Because I know who I am, and I know who God is. And God is a God of the individual. The plan of darkness. The plan of Satan, if you will. Is the plan of collectivism. No individual salvation. No individual choices. We will not allow you to fail.

We will not allow you to feel the consequence of anything.

Because we'll tell you what to do.

Life, as long as the -- as long as the collective agrees, then you have the right to life.

I mean, that's if they agree, your life is worth living. Anybody certainly George Bernard Shaw?

We should just line people up, and ask them: Justify your life.

Collectivism believes liberty. As long as you believe, think, speak, and do what the collective tells you is part of liberty. Pursuit of happiness. No. There's no path for the individual to do what he or she believes, that she was sent here to do, let alone, just have your own business.

Because you're not going to keep any of the spoils. The God of this world, will tell you what to do. And you will praise the God of this world.

You know I know I shared Ephesians with you, a couple of days ago, but there's more to this. Let me just run through this, quickly. Because I want to add on to what I said, the other day.

Remember, in Ephesians, it says, look, you cannot -- I'm paraphrasing horribly. You can't live as the people of the world do. As the Gentiles do. You can't. In the futility of their thinking.

Think of that. The futility of their thinkingly. They are darkened in their understanding. And separated from the life of God. Is that true?

Do you believe that people are darkened in their understanding?

How can people not notice what's happening to their lives, because of the way they vote?

They're darkened from their understanding.

They're separated from the life of God. And listen, because of the ignorance that is in them, due to the hardening of their hearts.

Meaning, I'm not listening to you.

I won't listen to reason anymore.

I won't talk to you anymore.

I've hardened my heart to anything that is outside of my worldview. And it goes on opinion

Having lost all sensitivity. Wow.

Think of this. Just with what porn does on the internet. You lose all sensitivity. It's got to get worse and worse and worse. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality, as to indulge in every kind of impurity. And they are full of greed.

This describes today. And then he says, but that's not the way of life you learned.

When you heard about Christ, you were taught -- you were taught in him, accordance with the truth.

So you were taught the truth.

This is not about them. This is about us.

It's not good enough, just not to be them. Nowhere does God say, you know what, just don't be like that guy. Just don't be like those guys.

That's not what he says. He just says, you were taught better than that. You know, better than that.

He goes on, you were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires.

You were taught to be made new in the attitude of your mind. And put on a new self.

So he's really not judging those people. He's judging us. Have you forgotten?

You have to put off all falsehood, and all lies. Speak truthfully, to your neighbor.

For we are members of one body. He doesn't say, speak truthfully to the people you like. He says, to your neighbor, who you are supposed to love. And in your anger, don't sin. Don't let the sun go down when you're still angry. Don't give the devil a foothold.

Anyone who is stealing. Listen to this. Anyone who is stealing, must steal no longer. But must work. Now, that sounds like a Republican policy. You can't steal, you have to work.

But there's not a period after there. There is a comma!

Which the Republicans don't get.

You must work. Doing something useful with your hands, that you might have something to share with those in need.

It's not work, just so you can enrich yourself. It is work, so you can choose to share with others.

We have lost that. We have lost much of this ability.

So now, where do we go from here?

60 seconds.
(music)
Let me tell you a little bit about Goldline.

Yeah. I'm the crazy guy, you always hear on the radio. Hollering about how you need to buy some gold, before the world ends or something.

Kind of fine with that. Here's the deal: You need to look at investing at least a portion of your portfolio, anything that you have, into precious metals. I mean, real, physical, precious metals. Don't get paper gold. For the love of Pete, don't do that. It's not going to mean much. I got all this golden paper. And I have a vegetable.

Now? If you don't have actual physical gold, it's time for you to consider getting some gold or silver, or any precious metal. You don't have to put your entire portfolio. And that's madness. Even if you have some gold, it's worth considering whether or not you have enough. There's no more time-tested hedge against economic insanity, than gold. And that's where Goldline comes in. And to celebrate the launch of the new Mayflower, silver and gold round, they want to include, at no cost, five silver coins. Five copper coins. With every tube of the quarter ounce gold Mayflower commemorative. This is something that I designed. It is part of a series. Goldline is asking you to take advantage of this special today. I am as well. You don't get this kind of special very often. It's 866GOLDLINE. 866GOLDLINE or Goldline.com. Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Here's what you need to learn. This is the last thing, that we need to learn.

That you have everything you need. You have everything you need. You've been enriched in every way, with all kinds of speech and knowledge. You get that from God. You don't lack anything. You need a spiritual gift, you have it.

And God will keep you firm, until the end.

Because he is faithful, to things that are true.

We can't divide ourselves. We have to be united, in truth. And here's what's -- and here's what's great.

The message of salvation, that's -- I mean, that's crazy talk. To people who are you know on the other side, denying all reality.

But that's the point.

God said, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent. I will frustrate.

So where is that wise person, that we trust? That really is, truly wise now? In the ways of the world?

Is the world wise? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher?

There's no one that fits into those categories, and you're like, oh, yeah. I trust him.

He's really, really wise. Because the world is not wise.

God is wiser than huge wisdom. Weakness of God, is stronger than any strength. When we first started our spiritual life, how many of us were wise by human standards?

How many of us were really influential? How many of us were born to the right family, and had the right wealth?

Very few, I would imagine. Those of us who really converted, probably really struggled for a long time. Because that's how you find the truth.

Through struggle. And that's when you chose God, or God chose you. When you were weak. When you were lowly. When you were despised.

And that's why you have so much power. You have so much power, because you are weak. You are lowly. You're -- you're not part of the wise counsel, that everybody wants to be a part of now. You're not seeking fame.

If we seek the truth, the truth, no matter where it takes us, all will be better than well.

We will heal our nation. That should be our goal. That should be our path. Look to the people, who have done it politically. And that's clear in Florida. And then look inside of yourself and rely on God.

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 reveals how Trump can END Epstein files nightmare overnight!

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.
