3 RADICAL moves Democrats could make in the 2024 election

2024 is off to a fast start with the beginning of election season only weeks away and Democrats are already playing dirty. Glenn reviews the latest legal challenges against former president Donald Trump's 2024 campaign, including the Maine Secretary of State's attempt to take him off the ballot — even though he hasn't even been CHARGED with insurrection! "This should tell you everything you need to know about the Democrats," Glenn says. But he doesn't believe they'll stop there. Glenn predicts 3 radical moves the Democrats could make as we get closer to November. Will they throw Trump in jail? Will they kick President Biden out of the race? And will they run someone even more radical — Michelle Obama? — in his place?

GLENN: Well, welcome, Stu. How are you?

STU: Glenn, very well.

I think you're amazingly accurate here, when you point out, that we're in that situation, where we are hitting the -- the ground running here.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

STU: We jump in. You come back from holiday break. And you're less than two weeks away from Iowa.

We launch into basically full-out election mode, immediately.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.

STU: We have lots of technical --

GLENN: It's a new year. It is a new year.

STU: New year, new buttons. So you go right into this. I think so many people, you spend the previous year kind of like figuring out what the field looks like. What's this race? What this is? Right. And it's got to be one of the strangest races anyone has ever looked at before. We have one side saying, all they care about is democracy, as they're trying to get the other guy removed from the ballot.

GLENN: I have to tell you. I -- I accidental believe that this is their strategy. First of all, I don't know if you heard about Rudy Giuliani. He's broke now. They've wiped his savings out. He is absolutely broke.

STU: There was a ruling against him for nine figures, right?

GLENN: Yeah. And so he's broke. And that is -- that is the lesson. The lesson is: We'll bankrupt you. We'll destroy you. We'll smear you. You will not survive.

And the process, really is also the punishment. It doesn't matter if they win or not. It really doesn't. They'll just keep going.

With Donald Trump, the way these states -- I mean, I could not believe that they're invoking the 14th Amendment. And saying, well, you know, a part of it insurrection. He's not even been charged with an insurrection. Not even been charged.

So they're taking him off, because of an insurrection.

Something he was never even charged with.

STU: In any -- they have 91 charges against him.

None of them are insurrection.

GLENN: None of them are.

So now you have two states taking him off the ballot.

And there's 30 lining up.

STU: Yeah. Plenty of them are going to try to do it.

GLENN: Let me tell you something: This should tell you everything you need to know, about the Democrats.

It should tell you how radical, they actually are. They're saying that they want to preserve democracy. But this isn't true.

Let me tell you what I think is going to happen.

If this goes through, and Donald -- it will make Donald Trump more and more popular. I have no idea how they're going to arrange these things.

It's going to throw everything into chaos. Joe Biden's numbers are going to continue to go down.

And the Democrats have something that the Republicans don't. Thank God.

And that is, the superdelegate. The superdelegate is something that the -- the Democrats came up with, after they saw Ronald Reagan elected.

Here's this guy who was out of step with the party. Was not playing ball with the party. But his grassroots effect just took off. And they couldn't control him.

And the Democrats saw that, and they said, we can't have that happen to our party. We can never have that.

Well, for many, many years, there's never been anybody -- you know, it's like Al Gore or Bill Clinton. Oh, jeez. Which one? Which one?

It's not that big of a choice. They didn't have a Bernie Sanders, that could stand up and actually do grassroots. Well, Bernie Sanders did.

Bernie Sanders was not in their camp. That's why, you saw all of the horse trading and everything else, that was going on, during the 2016 election.

They took him out. Now, that was still not the full superdelegate thing. You're going to see it this year. I really believe the Democrats are going to do their superdelegate, which can vote differently than the public. So it's a -- it's a hand-selected group of people, that the party elites select, and if they feel for the party or for democracy's sake, the people have been duped. They can override their vote. And I think you're going to see the poll numbers going down so horribly, that you're going to have to have somebody else besides Biden. And you can't have his vice president.

And there's no way you can start a campaign now. It's too late. It's too late. You can't even get people on the ballot.

Although, they're strangely trying to get somebody else off the ballot. But you can't even get anybody on the ballot at this point. Superdelegates stand in, and they say, you know what, for the good of the country we need somebody that can unite us all, and that would be Michelle Obama.

STU: Wow. Wow. You're starting off the year with this.

GLENN: Because, I mean -- it just makes sense to me. It may not happen.

But it just makes sense to me. Okay is this to ever

STU: It's amazing.

Because it shows the state of where Biden is, right?

There's a new poll out today, showing that Trump is winning.

GLENN: Clobbering him.

STU: Even with Hispanic voters. And young voters.

GLENN: And black voters.

STU: He's making massive inroads with these people. That are supposed to be just democratic groups.

We talk about them forever. They just take them completely for granted. Right? They show up every single time. They vote 80, 80-70, 80-90 percent for Democrats. And they don't really think about them again.

That is not -- at least in the polls, is changing, in a big way. And at some point, you wonder, are they just going to -- are they really going to go down with the ship. With Joe Biden?

Are they that dedicated to this man?

GLENN: Honestly, what is your choice at this point?

STU: And then you get to where you are with Michelle Obama or someone similar.

GLENN: Right. Am I wrong?

Do they have another choice at this point?

STU: I think Gavin Newsom wants it to be Gavin Newsom.

GLENN: Yeah, but how do you get him on to the ballots everywhere. How does that happen?

STU: It would have to be something within the party. By the way, that's an important thing to understand with the Trump part of this thing as well.

If these states tell the Republicans, they're not going to put him on the ballot. The Republican Party can still make this happen for Donald Trump as the nominee. The question is in the general election where it becomes a problem. They can change all their own rules. They can do all sorts of stuff to make sure that Donald Trump gets this election. If what people believe, is that he's way ahead, and they're just trying to get him off the ballots. It's a different process when it comes to the Republican Party. But when it comes to the actual final ballot, that's a big, big deal.

GLENN: This is Soviet-union stuff. I mean, the next step. Honestly, the next step is to put your opponent in jail.

STU: They would never try that, Glenn.

GLENN: Yeah. They are.

STU: It's fascinating.

GLENN: And it's all under the context of an argument for democracy.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: It's all in this context that the media completely accepts, with no sense of irony at all about it. It's all about an effort to preserve democracy. If you trust democracy, then just beat Donald Trump. Just beat him.

Convince the American people, he's the worst option.

GLENN: They can't.

STU: Your 90-year-old guy who can't get through a sentence will be much better.

GLENN: They can't.

STU: They obviously believe that they can't. Even if they could, they don't believe that they can. Because if you believe actually in democracy, which I don't think that they do. At least the elements of democracy that exist in our constitutional republic. If they actually believed in those things, they would just come out and win.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: I mean, look, I went through a weekend, this weekend, Glenn, where the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Arizona Cardinals. And the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions, basically blowing up what started as a promising season.

And watching that, the end of that Cowboys game was horrible for Eagles fans.

Because it -- and Detroit Lions fans. It looked like the Lions should have won. There was a controversial call, blah, blah, blah. And people -- my Eagles friends are like, can you believe that call?

Beat the Arizona Cardinals, then you don't have to worry about it. Right? Go out, and win the games on your schedule.

And you don't have to worry about the calls on the other games.

This is what the freaking Democratic Party should be able to understand. Come out and win. Beat the guy you say is Hitler.

And you don't have to worry about throwing him in prison. Just beat him!

GLENN: They're just moving too fast.

Look at. You have a situation now. Did you see the poll numbers with the youth on Osama bin Laden right now?

It is crazy. It is crazy.

It is 26 percent believe that he was not -- not only had good ideas.

But what he did was right. Okay?

It's astonishing. What's happening. Now, why is that happening?

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Because of lack of education.

We lived through it. And we did not show it, all the time. We don't even teach it anymore.

So all we're teaching is anti-American stuff. They don't know who Osama bin Laden really is. And what do you get? You get this!

Their agenda in schools is working. We've already lost one generation. We may lose two. Okay?

If that happens, and we don't turn it around. America as we know it is gone for a while, on earth.

It will be found again. God will not be thwarted. May not happen in this country. But God will not be thwarted. These freedoms belong to him.

You sit here and you look at what they're doing, they know they can't get all of the things they need passed, passed.

So at the end of progressivism is either a peaceful transition or revolution. They're now choosing, I think, revolution if possible.

If needed. They will not give this up.

But they -- they think they had all of the tools, the thing they didn't count on was the American people.

They didn't count on the middle of the country, actually believing in something, that they don't even understand.

They didn't count on a Donald Trump, or Ron DeSantis. Or Vivek Ramaswamy.

They didn't expect the Tea Party.

And for the people who invented the internet. They had absolutely no idea, the monster, that they unleashed, when they put people and said, you can't talk, on these media outlets.

When the internet was ready. So now, what are they going to do?

They have to effect the election, and they're also trying to take Donald Trump off of the ballot everywhere.

Because they want turmoil in the streets. They have to have it. They have to have 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 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.

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.
