WATCH: 10 Times “Tampon Tim” Walz Told Us EXACTLY Who He Is

The media is trying to paint Kamala Harris’ VP pick Tim Walz as a lovable, folksy “midwestern dad.” But Glenn dug through the archives to find who Walz actually is. Glenn reviews 10 moments from Walz’s time as governor of Minnesota that prove he’s a radical socialist: He joked about investing in a “ladder factory” in response to Trump’s wall, he wants to protect trans kids’ “right” to genital mutilation, he had more COVID-19 nursing home deaths than Andrew Cuomo, he told Minnesotans to rat out their neighbors, he praised socialism as “neighborliness,” he wants no gas cars in Minnesota by 2035, his bathroom policies have garnered him the nickname “Tampon Tim,” he said it’s “ageism” to question Biden’s age, he denied shutting down schools, and he has no problem becoming a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants.

GLENN: Joining me today, is Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed. Pat, I listened to your show today. And Chewing the Fat with Jeffy. And you guys were on quite a roll with Tim Walz. You like him about as much as I do.

PAT: Oh, man!

Hmm. He's quickly risen to the top of my list of people that I dislike with a very intense disliking.

GLENN: Sure. What do you mean? You don't like -- I didn't get that impression from you, earlier at all.

PAT: I was a little subtle. Maybe I was too settle.

GLENN: Maybe.

PAT: Because I mentioned I disliked him with all the intensity of a trillion white hot suns.

Maybe that's not enough.

GLENN: I'm not sure what you were saying with that.

Now, could it be.

Could it be because he says things like this.

Cut 11, please. Here's Tim Walz.

VOICE: And I think seeing a plan that's out there, talking about it with folks. Knowing, that he's not going to do thinking.

He talks about this wall. I always say, let me know how high it is? 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory. That's not how you stop this.

PAT: Oh, jeez.

GLENN: Huh.

Is it because of stuff like that?

PAT: Yeah, it's stuff like that. And worse, actually. Stuff like that, and worse.

GLENN: Here's cut ten. Could it be this?

PAT: Uh-huh.

VOICE: And what we want to say, we're there to protect children. We're there to understand, in Minnesota, you're going to be protected. I want to be clear. I will never understand what goes into the thinking of these folks, to bully these children. They're not impacting them in one bit. And making it a living hell for children, for families, for adults. For folks just trying to bring themselves in.

So in Minnesota, we're making it very clear. We're not going to cooperate with these folks. We're not going to extradite people. We're going to say that this a place where you can come and make these decisions. I'm -- this is -- the community, the trans community is -- is as terrified as they've ever been. We've seen attacks across the nation, even here in Minnesota. And we're -- we're now saying, we have to be much more proactive.

We have to be much more aggressive about making sure folks are protected.

PAT: Yeah. Folks are protected in getting their noodles cut off. That kind of thing.

GLENN: Children are protected. Children have a right to have their noodles cut off. Or their breasts removed.

PAT: If they're six and don't feel comfortable. Cut off their noodle. Who am I?

Not nobody.

GLENN: Yeah. Who are you? What kind of monitor have you become? You know, I mean, it's really -- it's really, really bad.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: He's also -- you know, he was big on COVID. He was --

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Well, when I say he was big on that. He had more nursing home deaths in his state, than they had in New York. Under Cuomo.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: So, but he was -- it wasn't that he was a total dictator. It was just that he was a total authoritarian.

And locked everything down. But he went the extra mile. Here he is. Cut 28, now.

Here he is on -- on a new way, to be neighborly.
(music)

VOICE: Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety, stay-at-home hotline. The information you leave is considered public information. At the tone, please leave the following information. Your name, your callback number. How the stay-at-home order is being violated. And where the stay-at-home order was violated.

Thank you.

VOICE: Record your message at the tone. When you're finished, hang up and press pound for more options.

PAT: And that's, of course --

GLENN: So congratulations.

PAT: That's where you snitch on your neighbor. Hey, I just saw my neighbor pull out of their driveway. They're going somewhere. I think you need send a S.W.A.T. team right now. Please, because they left their house. They left their house.

GLENN: That's just being neighborly, isn't it?

PAT: That's all that is.

GLENN: It's just being a good neighbor. Here's cut 29.

PAT: But we can get out there, reach out, make the case. And for one thing, don't ever shy away from our progressive values.

One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness.

GLENN: Amen. Amen. Amen.

Now, they just don't understand how the left wants, you know, freedom.

And the right is just trying to take rights away.

You know, like they're not taking rights away H.W. Bush they want to take your guns.

They're not taking rights away, when they lock you in your house. And tell you, you can't go anywhere.

They're not taking any rights away. When they're saying, you have to inject this into your body.

They're not taking any rights away at all.

In fact, it's just good neighborly stuff. To be able to snitch on your neighbor.

That's so American. So folksy.

PAT: It is.

GLENN: So folksy. And not weird, I'll tell you that.

Not weird at all.

PAT: And when they tell you, that you shouldn't be driving SUVs. That doesn't -- that doesn't limit your choices on what you can drive.

Not at all.

GLENN: No. He's not taking away your right at all.

PAT: No. No.

GLENN: He's just saying, that there will be no gasoline cars in the state of -- by 35. That's all he's saying.

PAT: So is that a bad thing?

GLENN: In ten years, nobody is driving gasoline cars. Because he's also not taking your right away. He's not. He's definitely not when he says, we're going to shut down the oil industry. Giving you all kinds of choices. You can have solar panels. Or you can have, you know, wind-powered electricity.

PAT: There's two choices right there. What do you want?

GLENN: How many choices do you need, do you know what I mean? Man, it's just so crazy what people are saying about him. Now, so he's -- I would like to call him the name that people call him in the state occasionally, and that's Tampon Tim.

Which I think is very dignified, and shows what he's for, and that is: Tampons in boy's restrooms. You know, he -- you know, who are you to say, you shouldn't have -- you should use the restroom, you know, designated for the sex you were born with. That is so bigoted. So weird.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: So weird. This is folksy. You know, you have your boy, go in, and shove a tampon, up where he's bleeding.

That's normal!

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Hello!

PAT: If that's not Middle America, I don't know what is.

GLENN: No. No. And as he said, one man's socialism is another man's neighborliness. And, you know, when I think of a good neighbor, I think of Stalin. I think of Mao.

PAT: Yeah! Yeah.

GLENN: I think of the good neighbors that were turning Jews in, you know, in Germany.

I think of those neighbors. They were neighborly. National Socialist Party! Yeah, in Germany.

So it is -- it is. Some people would say, that's socialism, you know, where you rat on a neighbor.

Hey, there's a Jew living next door.

And other people just think that that's -- that's just neighborly. You know, that's not socialism.

It's just neighborly. And I love it.

He's also a man of truth.

If you look at cut 12 here, he was telling you the truth here the whole time. He was way ahead of the curve. Listen.

VOICE: I've spent a lot of time with the president. And he's great. We're chatting and talking. And I think we all get a little older. That's what happens.

But you also gain that insight, and I think, when it comes to those issues. Working across the aisle to get things done, you see the president just doing this with dignity, doing it with class. Getting up every day.

Doing the work. So I think he's just doing what he does, and I think it's incumbent upon all of us -- look, my mom is 88, still living on the farm, drives herself.

PAT: Is she the president though?

VOICE: Folks are able to do this. So I think this little bit of ageism that goes to this, if it's not that, it would be something else. They attack all of us on something. This is part of it.

PAT: That's right. That's all.

GLENN: Yeah. Absolutely. How folksy of him.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: He's not lying there. He's just being folksy. He's just telling a story.

And it turns out, that he was absolutely right. He's totally just like his mom, able to drive his car. You know, Tim, I want you -- when you get to Washington, you're not going to need a car. Because you'll have Secret Service driving you everywhere. Why don't you just hand the could you see over to Joe, of your car. And tell them just to -- hey. Joe.

Why don't you just take it. Park it in the garage. Around the corner.

You're going to be fine.

Because I don't think. You know, his mom could drive a car.

PAT: Sure. Yeah. She's 88.

That's older than Joe. She's 88. Now, she's not running the country.

GLENN: Exactly right.

PAT: But I'm sure she has just as important a position. And it doesn't -- it doesn't mess her up at all, getting old.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you, that there's a couple of other things that I think are really, really good. There -- Minnesota, there's room in the inn.

And in fact, let me just -- let me just play Tampon Tim here, on sanctuary cities.

Cut 13, please.

VOICE: Could you have done the schools differently. I think lots of parents are upset about what happened with the schools. Do you think you could have made any other choice.

VOICE: Well, just to be clear. 80 percent of our students miss less than 10 days of in-class learning. The vast majority of students were in. It depended again on population density. Many of these positions were being made by local folks, to be able to do what was necessary to keep them there.

I think again, in hindsight, if we could have known, that we would get vaccinations out as quickly as possible.

We prioritized teachers and the staff in school to get there. We're doing it differently now.

And since, May of 2021, almost every one of our students has been in, the entire time, and been doing that.

So I think with hindsight, at 2020, perhaps we could have tailored a little bit careers than that.

The fact of the matter, making the case that we couldn't have done anything, is simply wrong.

GLENN: Yeah. Simply wrong. By the way, that was about him shutting down all of the schools, which apparently never happened, Pat.

Never happened. Let's go to cut 13, please.

And that's --

VOICE: If the definition of that is that the federal government enforces immigration law, and local laughter, enforces local law. Then yes.

VOICE: Should cities be allowed to be sanctuary cities?

VOICE: Yes. Local control.

GLENN: Local control. Local control.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: I mean, he's not for local control on anything else. But when it comes to sanctuary cities. As he said, there is -- there is room in the inn, you know, for more Somalis and everything else.

And he has taken -- I will give you just a little track record, when we come back here, on Tim.

Because he has taken the state of Minnesota. And just, I mean, it's just taken off.

It's an entirely new state to him.

PAT: It's a rocket ride to the moon. With Tim Walz.

GLENN: You know, I think, Pat. Now, you can disagree with me.

But I think you put a team together, like Kamala Harris.

From California.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And bring in those California things right to America.

And then tampon Tim's Minnesota -- what he's done to that state.

My gosh. I mean, America is fixed.

PAT: Imagine kind of on a nationwide kale.

GLENN: Yeah. My dog is fixed as well. But it's going to be -- it's going to be fantastic.

GLENN: Now, J.D. Vance is weird.

Because he went to Yale.

And, you know, Walz said, look, I grew up in a small town, and its small town values.

And he said, yeah. J.D. Vance grew up in a small town, but he eventually attended Yale Law School. J.D. Vance talks about this in Hillbilly Elegy.

None of my hillbilly cousins went to Yale. Yeah, maybe because your hillbilly cousins either don't have the aptitude or the interest to go to Yale.

I mean, Yale is really not for everybody. You know, not everybody has to go to Yale. In fact, a lot of people would really hate Yale. I for one, went to Yale. And hate Yale. But gosh darn it, I just -- I won't give any money to Yale.

Why not?

Man, I'm weird. Anyway, J.D. Vance worked hard. That's something called meritocracy. And that doesn't happen in socialist countries.

No. Everybody has an equal outcome. Everyone is equally miserable. Well, I shouldn't say that.

Except for the people at the very top. They tend to get very, very rich and powerful. And not so folksy. You know, not quite so folksy.

So J.D. Vance just doesn't know anything about small-town America.

Because, you know, he went to Yale, after his.

Yeah. Yeah. He did. He earned a scholarship

Because he decided to work hard. He made that choice. You should watch the video or read the book. It's really interesting. Tampon Tim.

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.”

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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.

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.
