Is this the END of Iran’s reign of terror or the start of something WORSE?

Israel has begun a series of very precise attacks on Iran. Glenn Beck explains why he doesn’t believe this is the start of another endless war for America. In fact, it’s “unlike anything else we have faced before” thanks to many factors, including the extremist beliefs of the leaders of Iran.

GLENN: Let me just say this, because I have quite a monologue. I spent about three hours about 1 o'clock in the morning, I started it.

And I will tell you, maybe some anger therapy might have been better. But I took it all out on a monologue. And I will unleash that on to all of the -- on to some people that I actually still refer to as friends.

I just don't know what the hell people are thinking.

But let's -- let's start with why this war is not Iraq. Yet, why it terrifies me.

First of all, I hate war. I used to be, you know, in my youth. A little more war happy. I wasn't going to fight it. And, you know, we should do that happen. We should go.

We have to police the world. No! We don't have to do any of that. We shouldn't do any of that. And I have learned from my first 30, 40 years of my life, that what I was for was absolutely wrong.

The State Department was wrong. Neocons were wrong. All of them, wrong.

For one, it's not only wrong for America. But it's also -- I've seen too many people come home broken. Or not come home at all.

And those that do come home. Nobody seems to care about them.

And I just think it's absolutely abhorrent the way we treat our soldiers. And I've watched our country, send generation after generation off to foreign battles with no clear ending.

Many times, no clear enemy. Tell me who our enemy was, besides Osama Bin Laden, for 20 years.

Who was their enemy?

Well, it's the ideology of -- what is that ideology?

You can't even say it! And then we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. We were told we can't afford to wait. And so we went. And in the end, whether you believe the cause or not. It became another drawn out conflict. Another wound in our national spirit. And far too many American families were touched by it. Once again, the world is holding its breath. Israel yesterday, struck Iran.

Hard, precisely, and quietly.

And before the screaming starts from the headlines, the chambers of the UN, the cable news panels. Let's stop and ask ourselves, a few hard questions, shall we?

First of all, is this America's war. The answer is no.

Should we be there fighting it?

Answer, no. Has Israel asked us to fight their war?

Answer, no.

Is this another Iraq, or is it something entirely different?

Well, let me tell you what makes this moment, unlike anything else we've faced before. First, this was not a call to war. This was not a land invasion.

This -- this is not a campaign to topple a regime and then sit around a culture that doesn't want what we have. Even though Iran, the Iranian people are good people. The Persians are great people! And they do want a life like ours.

But this is targeted. This is surgical. This was preemptive. Not against an idea. Not against a guess.

Against the very real, very stated intentions of a regime run by men, who do not think like we think.

Okay?

They do not want what we want.

We choose life. They literally choose death.

That is as clear as it is. Do you choose life, or do you choose death?

That is a culture of death? So I want to start with the clerics of Iran. The ayatollahs. The supreme leader. The mullahs. The puppet masters of the so-called Islamic republic. And their Sharia law.

I have said this for years and years and years. If you don't understand this, you don't understand Iran.

These are Twelvers. They are followers of a branch of Shiite Islam, that believes not just in the return of the Messianic figure, but also that his return, can or must be, in their words, hastened or accelerated. And the only way to do that is to, quote, using their words, wash the world in blood.

Okay. I think I'm out. That's the first stop of the train. And I'm like, I'm going to get off here please. Let me say this again. The highest religious leader who actually is in charge of the entire country, the one who commands the revolutionary guard, who funds the terror groups by Hezbollah and Hamas. The ones who train children to chant death to America in the streets.

Believe the world must be engulfed in destruction and flames, to usher in the end times.

And they mean that, the same way, we mean that.

And that this is the regime trying to build a nuclear bomb. Now, I have a problem with this.

Because I've been talking about this since 2000, maybe 2002. Oh, they're very close to a bomb. They're very close to a bomb. You know, I stopped listening to John Bolton a long time ago.

It was kind of a cute oldie thing you bring up for a little while. I don't know if you know they're close to the bomb. I don't know if anybody knows they're close to the bomb.

Maybe. I will tell you what Benjamin Netanyahu told me in like 2010. I am meeting with him. And I am like, are they close to the bomb?

I don't know. But when we believe they are truly close to a bomb. It doesn't matter what the world will say. We will go in and do it ourself, if we have to. They cannot have a nuclear weapon.

Okay. So they want a nuclear bomb. Because they want to wash the world in blood.

Now, contrast that with the doctrine of mutually assured destruction, that has kept peace between nuclear superpowers for over half a century. The Soviets, they didn't want to die. Okay?

The Chinese Communist Party, they don't even want to die. Even North Korea, as crazy as that fat guy is. He doesn't want to lose power and his life.

But Iran, they're not afraid of death, because they have all their virgins coming their way. They see martyrdom as a promotion.

They don't want to win a war. They want to ignite the good old end of days.

So ask yourself: What happens when those beliefs collide with the power of a nuclear warhead?

By the way, you should answer this now.

Because we have to answer this when France topples to the same kind of radicals. And when England topples to this same kinds of radicals.

Do we go to get these weapons?

Because you do not want these regimes with these weapons. Now, all that said, I don't want my son going off to war. I don't want America again to play the policeman, or be dragged into another theater of blood and sand. Enough is enough. It doesn't work.

But I also do not want to be the father who has to tell his children, yeah. We saw them coming.

You know, I knew what they believed.

We saw what they were building. But we didn't do anything.

Well, who are we to say?

When the only country most effected by this, did something last night. Surgically.

They are the -- they are the tip of the spear.

They're the ones that are going to get speared first.

Vaporized first. And they're the ones that are like, you know what, I don't care what the rest of you guys say. I'm taking care of this. And they did something surgical.

Holy cow!

I've never seen anything like it!

War is changing!

I have to tell you, what Israel did, matters.

Now, I got on the social media spheres last night.

And I just gave a few opinions, and none of them were bloodthirsty by any -- but, boy. I have to tell you.

I am a warmonger and a Jew lover, I found out, from a lot of people. I have listened to you for years. And I've always known you were a Jew lover.

Holy cow, you haven't listened to me for years then. Okay?

Or you've just been closeted in your hatred. But what Israel did, matters.

Because they didn't wait for the mushroom cloud. They struck. Not to conquer. But to prevent.

Tell me the last time, our country even -- that I can say. I used to say this all the time. Look, we've never been in it for oil or land or anything else.

And I don't know if I believe that anymore. We've done a lot of really bad things. Okay?

A lot of really bad things.

Every country does. But are you telling me, our government. We haven't done a war or two recently. Where we haven't had greedy eyes on the wealth of a nation?

Where is the greedy eyes on Israel?

What did they do? They killed their top scientists. And they killed the leaders of their military.

And then they took out the installation that was making the bomb.

Boy. That's -- wow.

Isn't that horrible?

Let me be really, really clear.

That is really good. But it doesn't mean that it's -- you know, the Middle East isn't going to spiral out of control.

And it doesn't mean our streets in Europe, or in America, are going to get more peaceful.

Okay?

It may spiral out of control.

And I hope not.

But let me quote Thomas Jefferson poorly.

But after he stopped the -- our first foreign war, with the Barbary pirates. Which were Islam. Which were coming on the seas. And taking everybody's ship and their stuff, and then they were enslaving or killing any infidel. Because, you know, you're not a Muslim.

And if you won't submit, I can either kill you or use you as a sex slave or some other kind of slave. And he really didn't understand that. And, you know, everybody is like, we've got to get out of that war!

And so we did. But he said, at the end. You know, I've got to warn you.

It's our first foreign war.

But if we don't understand the ideology that these people have, it will be our last war. As well.

And I think we are going to find. I mean, look what's happening in Europe. Look what's happening in our own streets. With the Palestinian crap.

Where do you think that all comes from?

If you don't think we're going to eventually have a war with Islam, you are mistaken. And I don't want one, because I think it is going to be ugly. But just look at the state of Europe.

Now, I don't want to rush into it. I don't want it. I pray that it never happens.

But not every preemptive strike is in Iraq. Not every enemy is rational. And not every country has people in it, that don't want what we -- they don't think like we think. The Persians think like we think.

And they have spent two decades slow walking this game, smuggling uranium, building enrichment centrifuges. They have funding proxies. They're slaughtering protesters in their own streets.

The difference is now, Israel felt the clock was up. And Israel knew, if they waited, there would be no second chance.

So the world can criticize all they want. They can lecture all they want. They can threaten resolutions. Israel stood alone, and they didn't do it out of vengeance. But because the alternative was unthinkable. Again, let me say it for the third time: I hate war. I do not want us to get involved in another war. I love peace!

But peace does not come from pretending evil does not exist. You know, you're not being asked to rush the gates!

You're being asked, can you just stop holding the gates open, for these people?

And that's exactly what is happening on our streets, in our universities.

In our business. In our government.

We are holding the door open!

Every time somebody else comes across our border.

Every time you say, I don't want to get rid of those people, we have 8,000 people, that we know of!

That are here. That are Islamists. That are also on the terrorist watch list. 8,000 people here.

You remember what 19 did?

If you don't think we're going to be fighting this at some point. Because we can't seem to get serious. Nobody will even say, I can't tell you how much trouble I'm going to be in, for saying, Islamists are evil!

It's evil. I'm sorry.

You're 45, she's nine! Nope! I'm not going to condone that. That's evil.

We cannot present -- we cannot pretend that evil does not exist.

And, you know, what happens is, you know, have to stop it coming. You know, you have to stop it, before it gets a bomb.

And I hope Israel can do that, and I pray for the people of Israel. I pray for the people in Iran. My gosh. They're on our side.

They want these monsters gone. And I was so happy to see how surgical this strike was. I mean, I've never seen anything like it.

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.
