Left’s Playbook REVEALED in PATHETIC NYT Hit Piece on Alito

The New York Times is once again freaking out about Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Lat time, it was over an upside-down American flag that Alito’s wife flew over their house. But now, Alito flew a – GASP! – “Appeal to Heaven” pine tree flag outside his New Jersey beach home. This flag, the Times insists, is a popular symbol among Jan. 6 “insurrectionists.” But Glenn gives the New York Times a much-needed history lesson on both flags. Spoiler alert: They’re not “insurrection” flags. But why is the Times going after Alito NOW? Glenn explains how this hit piece reveals the Left’s playbook…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I don't know about you, Stu.

But I am gravely, gravely concerned, that we have somebody, anybody, let alone a Supreme Court justice who would fly a flag upside down.

I don't know what that means. Other than, we all have to kill each other for Donald Trump. But he did that. And now, he's flown another flag at his beach house. That has to stop.

STU: Yes. Well, the upside down flag, as we know, is a symbol of January 6th, Glenn. That is what it is. It's in the headline of the New York Times.

Sure, down in the paragraph of 18, they mentioned dozens of groups have been using this for a long time. To show distress for the country.

GLENN: Well, I hate to point this out.

But it does -- it's exactly, if your ship is in trouble, and you're at sea, you fly your flag upside down as a symbol, that we're in distress.

We're sinking. We've been taken over. Whatever it is. We're out of refreshments.

And you fly your flag upside down.
It means ship in distress. If you fly it -- this is all flag code, by the way. If you fly it upside down on your home or your building or whatever, it is a symbol that the nation is in distress.

Now, I haven't noticed. Any kind of advertise tress.

You know, I -- I just haven't noticed, if there's any problems that seem like, gee.

We should concentrate on that. Or maybe even bend a knee. And appeal to heaven.

But he did. He apparently thinks that the nation is in distress.

STU: Well, at least his wife did.

Which is seemingly who actually flew the flag upside down.

And also --

GLENN: Those damn wives, you know what I mean?

STU: And then also, I think in the days after January 6th, I think no matter what side of the argument you're on. The idea that the nation was in distress is probably a good take.

GLENN: You know, I don't know if people remember this. But everyone, including now some of the people that were just walking around the Capitol. They found this abhorrent.

They found what happened. It was -- it was -- it was not the darkest day, since the Civil War. It was maybe the darkest day since the left, in the 1980s.

Set off a bomb, inside the Capitol. That was a pretty dark day, and it was akin to that.

STU: Maybe the darkest day since a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer tried to assassinate 20 percent of the elected Republicans in Washington.

GLENN: Thank you.

STU: There's a lot of dark days you can point to. I don't know.

GLENN: Yeah, it wasn't a good day.

Nobody was proud of what was going on. At least I was. And all of my friends looked at that and said, that's not who we are.

And, yeah. I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat.

We were all offended by that. But the media has made this into, Republicans just loved it.

And that's just not true.

Anyway, anyone -- anyone -- you know, Democrats, if you really felt the way, I felt on January 6th. Which I think you did.

You could have flown your flag upside down because it shows a nation in distress.

And that's clear on that day, no matter who you voted for, the nation was in distress. The republic was at stake.

Can we all agree to that?

Now, they're trying to tie that to January 6th, and make that a symbol of January 6th.

It is not. When you tie it to January 6th, you now destroy another tradition of America.

I have flown my flag upside down before. I don't remember what was going on in the world. But there was something going on in the world. And I flew my flag upside down for about a week.

Now, I happened to have a flagpole that's in the mountains, and nobody would see it. But my family saw it. And I flew it upstairs.

I have also committed the crime that we now know, Justice Alito's beach house. They also flew another flag last summer.

First of all, they flew a 2022 Philly's flag. I don't -- I think we all are quite aware of the Philly's connection to January 6th.

But they then flew the appeal to heaven flag. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I'm going to let that sit with you for a while.

The flag that was the design came from George Washington.

And it's an appeal to heaven.

You know, so that's -- at least in the summer months, to fly that, I think we all know what he was saying, right?

Maybe, appeal to heaven. Maybe that would be it. By the way, let me just tell you a little bit about that flag. In case you don't know.

That's the flag with the pine tree, which is white. It's also red. Which I will get to in a second. But it's a white one, and it says appeal to heaven.

It has a pine tree on it. That was a symbol of New England since the 16th century.

Why? Because New England had big pine trees.

Why was that important?

Because they could build ships. And build them for England, or whoever.

And ship giant mass, which were hard to find, because nobody had the giant pine trees, that New England had.

So they would build these masts out of the trees.

And they would sell them. So it was a big business this the first place. So that's one reason the pine tree was there.

But also, after warring for decades, the leaders of five nations, the Seneca, the Kyuga, the Onedega, Oneida, and Mohawks. They had been warring with each other forever.

But there was a great leader. He was called the great peacemaker. He was with the Iroquois.

He convinced all of them to bury their weapons under a pine tree. The great peacemaker did that. So it is also the symbol of the tree of peace.

Isn't that interesting?

Now, it was so crazy, that symbol. That it actually was on the -- the currency, in the 17th century. So the 1600s. Also, it was on the coinage, produced by the Massachusetts bay colony.

And it became the symbol of the colonial iron resistance, as well as a multi-tribal support for independence.

Yeah. Now, where did that come from? Because it says on an appeal to heaven. Well, it's kind of interesting.

It comes from -- now, this, Stu. Buckle up. Because I'm about to mention a true rattle. And this will tell you everything you know. The phrase appeal to heaven, is an expression of the right. The right of revolution.

And that right of revolution. And the appeal to heaven, comes directly from that outrageous killer, John Locke.

STU: Wow!

That -- you want to talk about a controversial figure. I mean, this is --

GLENN: It's John Locke, right?

STU: If you like John Locke. You might like the enlightenment.

GLENN: Yeah. You might. You might. You might.

STU: And then how far does that go?

GLENN: So let me just -- let me just -- I have more.

Let me just boil this down.

This flag is first assigned as the people tree as trade. It's also a sign of peace among the Indians.

It is then added to that, the appeal to heaven, comes from John Locke.

And what he wrote, in 1690. It was -- was a -- a refute of the theory of the define right of kings.

So, I mean, everybody loves having a king, right?

Sure, of course. So this is an antiking flag. Now, when I say antiking, what I mean is, not necessarily a revolution.

You have a right to a revolution. But here's what this means.

And I quote. Where the body of people or any single man is deprived of their right. Or is under the exercise of a power without right. In other words, the divine right of the kings.

I'm king. So I make up all the rights. Because God tells me. If you were living under an exercise of power without right and have no appeal on earth. Meaning, you can't go to a judge. You can't go to anybody. Because of the divine right of kings!

I have no way to have anyone protect my right. Then you have the liberty to appeal to heaven. Huh.

How very controversial in the United States of America.

Now, let me tell you another reason why I believe Alito has an appeal to heaven, I always interpreted that flag as an appeal to heaven for common sense and for help. Please, Lord, help us.

And it would go right along with an upside down nag. Now, wouldn't it?

We're in distress. Can we please look to God, and beg for his mercy and guidance?

How unbelievably controversial is that? To say, from the people who tell us, democracy is about to be lost. To fly a flag that says, we're a nation in distress.

Now, you may not believe in God. But a lot of us do believe in God. And a lot of us now look at these problems. This distress, and say, there is no other answer, but to appeal to God for mercy and guidance.

So that might be the reason he flew those flags. Also, let me just tell you something else: Do you know what Alito did, a couple of summers back?

Do you know what he did? Do you know, Stu?

STU: I mean, I know it's bad. But, no. I don't know specifically what it is.

GLENN: Yes. It's horrible.

He's the guy that wrote the Dobbs' decision.

STU: Oh, no.

GLENN: Okay. So there's reason number one for the attack.

But also, let's look at it from Alito's point of view.

That decision was leaked, and led to people in the streets, trying to -- in front of their houses. Trying to kill Supreme Court justices.

I think he might also have another reason for saying it's a nation in distress.

Especially, since every single Supreme Court justice knows who leaked the decision.

Every single one of them. Review everybody in the Washington, who is -- who was part of the Supreme Court. Was part of the investigation. They all know who leaked the decision.

But no one paid the price.

If there's no judge, that can judge you on earth, because they're unrighteous, and not doing the things that they're supposed to be doing. Under the Bill of Rights.

You appeal to heaven, and according to that great, scandalous monster, John Locke.

That's your right.

Now, I'm going to take a quick break. And then I'm going to compare him, to someone else. That is, oh, so beloved.

And, of course, they don't like it, they don't like Alito, because his wife new a flag, and there are all these judges.

He would have to recuse himself now from everything.

Because, well, his wife had an opinion. And he flew a flag that sent an appeal to heaven.

Now, let me give you this from 2016.

Donald Trump is a faker. He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes to his head at the moment. He really has an ego. How has he want to be away with not turning over his taxes?

I can't imagine what this place would be like.

I can't imagine what the country would be, with Donald Trump as our president.

2016, during the election, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Hmm. That seems like she was involved and nobody was calling for her to recuse herself on anything. 2012, I love this one.

At one point, we talked about the lack of Medicaid funding for abortions for poor women. Because of 1980 Supreme Court decision, called Harris versus McRae.

She then said, that really surprised me. Frankly, I really thought at the time, that Roe was decided where there was a concern about population growth and particularly in the growth of populations, that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was then going to be set up for Medicaid abortion for funding.

So here in 2012, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is talking about eugenics, and getting rid of the growth of populations, that we don't want to have too many of.

I wish she was around, so I could ask her: Which population she meant. Is it black? Is it Hispanic?

Is it white? Who do you put in the ovens? Who is it that you sterilize?

Who is it that you wipe out, Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

So don't start with Justice Alito.

And if you want to fix the problem, if you really want to fix the problem, then name the leaker.

But you can't do that. Because I have a feel, it's a Supreme Court justice.

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.
