What EVERY American Should Learn From ‘Cabrini’

Glenn Beck is stunned by the new film, “Cabrini.” It’s “one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen,” he says. But it also tells a story that all Americans should learn from, one of true “feminism,” and not the toxic leftist version that Hollywood pushes. Glenn discusses this with the film’s director, Alejandro Monteverde, whose previous film, “Sound of Freedom,” became a surprise box office sensation. Monteverde also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made and describes how he took influence from “The Godfather” and “Batman” to tell the story of a Catholic nun.

GLENN: If we were anywhere south of the border, this next to the best, I mean, I think I would probably have girls screaming outside of the windows going, oh, my gosh.

You talk to him!

Big, big star in South America and Mexico.

I will introduce him as only a white man can, as Alejandro Monteverde, which is not the way he would say it. But better than the way George Bush would say it. It would be like Alejandro.

Anyway, Alejandro, how are you, sir?

ALEJANDRO: How are you? Thank you for having me on your show. It's a great honor. And, by the way, I met George Bush, after -- you know, when he gave the State of the Union speech.

He picked two immigrants to get into this country, and I was one of them.

GLENN: Wow.

ALEJANDRO: He spoke. He did spoke like what you said.

GLENN: Alejandro was here.

Anyway, so, Alejandro, you are one of the great reasons we love immigrants. You are a guy, big, big star, all over South America, and Mexico.

And as an actor, but you have become, I believe, one of the best filmmakers, in the world.

I saw your movie Cabrini, when it was. I don't even know if it was locked down yet.

And halfway through, I said to one of the producers. I feel like I'm in the screening room with -- with the group that made the godfather.

You know, sitting next to --

ALEJANDRO: Wow. That is one of the most amazing compliments. Because when I worked with my cinematographer, that was one of the inspirations, the Godfather.

GLENN: I'm telling you, you guys nailed that. It is one of the most beautiful films I have seen. But not for an artsy reason.

It just captures a mood, like I've only seen in the godfather.

So you hit that.

The movie Cabrini. You're welcome. The movie Cabrini. Tell the story of St. Cabrini. Because a lot of people don't know her.

ALEJANDRO: Well, you know, just to short, to summarize, she was a warrior. She came here to America, in the late 1800s as an immigrant, a woman with nothing.

With a dream. With a big mission, to build hospitals, and -- and help those in need.

And the ultimate -- Amy Rockefeller, or Vanderbilt. Even though, at that time, when she arrived, she faced a lot of racism against the Italians, and discrimination.

But that's the beautiful (sic) of this country. That did not stop her from building one of the greatest hospitals that New York has ever seen.

GLENN: No.

And, actually, by the end of her life, I believe it was the largest hospital network in the world. I mean, it -- what she accomplished was amazing.

And she became an American shortly after she got here. A few years after she got here. But it shows a woman.

ALEJANDRO: She was an American. Then the first American saint. Which was also very powerful.

GLENN: Yeah. The way you have predicted her. Tell me about the lady who plays her. This movie, Cabrini, by the way. My highest, highest recommendation. This is an incredible movie. So inspirational.

So well-done.

This -- this will show you, how far independent films have come, from conservative media. This is -- you know, put out by Angel Films.

You remember how bad Christian movies were?

This is -- I wouldn't categorize it as a Christian movie.

It's just a movie about this wonderful Christian.

But it is brilliant.

So please, go see it. It's out tomorrow.

Anyway, tell me --

ALEJANDRO: Thank you. Thank you, first of all. It's truly an honor to -- coming from you.

It means a lot.

The reason we -- we -- you know, this is a woman that also divide death itself. Morality, every single day.

She was able to steal, literally decades of life.

They told her, she had two to three years to live.

She kept fighting and fighting.

Look at the amount of faith.

If somebody tells you, you have three years to live, but you have a dream that it will take you 20 years to make. That will put a lot of faith in yourself, to begin with. I needed an actress, that was able to have the power of her eyes from going from a loving eyes, love a child. That is abandoned to the streets, to -- to rapidly change, to have this defiant eyes, to defy all these challenges that were put in front of her.

You know, she fought all the way from the most dangerous criminal. The pain that was prosecuting little girls. To facing, you know, very powerful politicians.

GLENN: Right. And the pope.

I mean, the scene with the pope, where she's like, I'm going to seat pope. And everybody is keep her away from the pope. And he's finally like, I'm not going to mess with this woman. Go ahead. Send her in.

ALEJANDRO: Yeah. She fires me all the time. We take noes too easy nowadays. Somebody takes no, and walks away. She was able to convert a no to a yes. She was able to build bridges. To even be able to work with people that disagree with her.

That's what I think is the problem now, that so relevant to America. Because right now, we're such a divided country.

We should be able to work together, even though we're divided. And she understood that. That we don't have to agree.

But there's people dying outside.

You know, there's -- let's go and help.

And she lives her life for others.

GLENN: Can I go down, just an odd road, perhaps with you?

There was one point, where I leaned over to the producer.

And I said, that's Batman, looking over Gotham. Right?

ALEJANDRO: Yeah! She was wearing a cape. She was wearing a cape.

GLENN: Yes. Did I do these things?

Because there were several places, where I was like, that's a hero shot. That's a hero shot that I've seen. Did you intentionally do that?

ALEJANDRO: Yes. Everything was designed, very intentionally in this film because of COVID.

You know, this, we had to use COVID to our advantage. You know, the movie kept being pushed and pushed and pushed. So we used all that time to keep designing and designing, designing the subtext.

There's a lot of subtext in this film. She lives a very heroic life. She was wearing a cape. So we wanted to present her visually as a hero. As a hero that you see in Marvel movies. But she was a real hero.

GLENN: So well done.

And is it true that -- because I think this is what makes the movie so visually appealing, is it was meant to be shot in black and white, right.

And what happened?

ALEJANDRO: Yes. The whole time the movie was black and white. And when you shoot black and white, it allows you to become operatic. You know, Orson Wells. Citizen Kane. You know, all those films. It's a wonderful life. All those films. It allows you -- Orson Wells used to say, it is impossible, to have bad acting in black and white.

Black and white, allows you to do everything. But most importantly, the reason why I wanted to shoot it on black and white.

Was because she was wearing black. And I didn't want it getting in the way of her story.

Then I thought, well, everybody will be dressed like her.

Black and white. For the entire year and a half, I designed the movie black and white, which is very operatic. Very cinematic. Very orchestrated. Almost like if you're looking in a movie, on Broadway.

So -- and then a week before we started to shoot, Eustace Wolfington, who was the -- person behind -- behind all of this. I called it the Cabrini movement.

He flew in. And I said, well, he came in for two reasons. Either, he's firing me.

Or he's telling me, it's not going to be black and white. That is the only two reasons. Everything else, you can tell me on the phone. Why is he flying in to see me.

And it is the second one.

It's not going to be black and white.

But this point, I already designed the movie.

When you designed the movie for black and white. Like Citizen Kane.

You take a lot of creative licenses. And it was too late to go back.

And if -- you know, I didn't know if it would work. So when I finished the film.

I went into a deep, deep depression for two weeks.

Because I didn't know if this movie would work. Because I had shot it. Designed it from black and white. Would have shot it in color. Though, it was the most dark -- I went into a dark place for two weeks.

GLENN: Jeez.

ALEJANDRO: And then I saw the first cut, and I was like, oh, it worked!

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

ALEJANDRO: So it was a risk.

GLENN: It is the most visually stunning movie, that does not detract -- you know, sometimes people do it for art's sake. And blah, blah.

This is just visually stunning and helps tell the story.

I mean, Alejandro, you don't need this from me. But I truly believe, you are one of the -- if not the best director around today, you are going to be legendary. I believe. And it's just a matter of -- it's just a matter of time.

You are just -- it's brilliant.

ALEJANDRO: Truly. Because we've been in a fight.

And I want -- you know, I've never heard that. And more coming from you, it's shaking my heart.

But I want to say something. You know this very well.

You know, if we don't -- if we don't have the big billboards. You know, we're competing against Dune.

So the only way a movie like this can survive, is if enough weekend people will see it, otherwise we'll be kicked out of theaters. So I cannot tell you how important it is, that people come out on opening weekend. Because they are our billboards. The billboards is the word-of-mouth. People coming out of the theaters and sharing their experience, their cinematic experience with audiences. You know, our audiences are the billboards.

GLENN: Well, I will tell you, I saw it in a studio projection room, and I went home. And I've been telling my family about this movie ever since. And we will all be in the movie theater, tomorrow.

I can't wait to see it again.

It is so good.

ALEJANDRO: Thank you so much.

I can wait for you. There are two or three -- I wonder if you'll be able to spot them. I think you will, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah. Alejandro, thank you so much.

And keep up the good work.

You are fantastic. Really, and Cabrini is a piece of -- really, a piece of art. It really is.

ALEJANDRO: And I'm so grateful. So grateful for your support. But thank you so much.

GLENN: You bet. Alejandro Monteverde.

Filmmaker, and I really mean this.

I think he is -- he's going to be remembered with all of the greats. I have been a fan of his, when he started making smaller movies.

And he made Little Boy, which I thought was just fantastic, captured the spirit of America in World War II like very few people can do. And he also is responsible for the -- the Sound of Freedom. And now Cabrini. And this is amazing, and a great, uplifting story. You will just love it.

Find it at a theater. Like he said, this weekend, is really important. Because they -- the reason why Sound of Freedom Know did well is because more movie theaters open up. On the opening weekend, if they have a big opening weekend, then more theaters will go, you know what, I'll give that a try. And if you don't support these things, on the opening weekend, and you will -- just go to support filmmakers. We have come from really bad movies, to brilliant, brilliant pieces of work.

And this is the best I've seen from a conservative. And it's one of the best I've seen from anyone.

It's called Cabrini. See it this weekend.

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

GLENN: Let me tell you the biggest story of the day.

And I think it is the biggest story possibly of all mankind, as of today.

It's going to change rapidly.

I don't know if anybody -- did either of you guys watch the Elon Musk thing last night?

STU: No, I did watch a few minutes of it.

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

GLENN: Okay. So the xAI team was there to unveil Grok 4. This is the latest intelligence, and let me be very, very clear.

Last night was not your typical tech launch. This is a moment that demands everyone's full attention.

We are now at the crossroads, where promise and peril are going to collide. Okay?

I have explained to you, for years, AGI.
AI. AGI. And ASI. Narrow intelligence is what we've always had.

General intelligence is the next step. And that is, it's better that man, one -- one, you know, like Grok. Can do everything. That you can do.

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

When you hit AGI, the road to ASI could be overnight.

Okay?

We need to understand what's at stake here. Because Grok four brought us closer to that second stage, than ever before.

Grok four is a powerhouse. They demonstrated it last night.

It surpasses the expertise of Ph.D.-level sailors in all fields.

It can get 100 percent on any -- any test for any field, mathematics, physics. Engineering.

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

This is a system that tackles problems, so intricate, they -- they go beyond our existing knowledge base.

Okay?

Let's say there is -- let's say, we have a fusion reactor. And the magnetic containment system goes down. I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point.

But it goes down.

And the top minds all on earth are like, I don't know what to do. Grok 4 can step in, model the physics, design new material, stabilize the system, and avert catastrophe. And it can do it about that fast. Now, this is the capability, that Musk says is just around the corner.

Mark my words. You know, how many -- how many years did I say, between 2027 and 2030, we would start to see this?

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

GLENN: For years. Right? Yeah, always the window.

And everybody, even Ray Kurzweil said, oh, that's way too optimistic. We may be 2050.

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

Grok shows us 2026 or 2027 is when we're going to hit it. This is the last year, that we have, before things get really weird.

Okay?

Last night, Elon Musk is touting this -- this AI.

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

And I'm quoting. This is one of them.

It's somewhat unnerving to have created intelligence that's greater than our own.

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

Now, this is a man who has launched rockets, you know, into orbit.

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

You know, after he sees the results of it. He says, you know, it's really -- in a way, quite terrifying to see what it's doing.

But we just have to make sure that it remains good!

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

Now, the key point in the announcement was the mention of ARC-AGI.

I had never heard of ARC-AGI. I had no idea what it was. But I noticed AGI. And I went, uh-oh. That sounds important. So this is the gold standard. The bench mark testing for artificial general intelligence.

Okay.

As I've said before, AGI. Artificial General Intelligence is a machine that matches all human cognition, across all domains.

Reasoning, creativity.

Problem solving. Not just specialized tasks like playing Go or analyzing x-rays. Everything. For instance, Musk said by mid-next year to the latest end of next year, it will be able to create a full length movie, just from a text prompt.
And do it all at once!

So, in other words, it will say, create a movie, and you just explain the Godfather.

It will do the casting. It will do the writing. It will do the filming, if you will. It will -- score the music, and it will happen that fast.

Almost in realtime. We are nowhere near the computational power now, to do that separately.

But this will do it all at once. It will make a movie with all of it, simultaneously.

So the arc AGI system is the benchmark on how close we are to AGI. Remember, scary things happen at AGI.

Terrifying things happen at ASI. ASI could be a matter of hours, or days after we hit AGI.

Grok 4 scored 16.2 percent on the ARC-AGI scale.

Why is that important? You're like, well, only 16 percent away.

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

And that -- they took that test, last time with Grok three.

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

We're at 16 percent. Remember, these things are not linear. The next time, we could be at 32, we might be at 64.

We are on the verge. This is the last year of -- I can't believe I'm saying this. Of normalcy. Okay?

This year is -- we're going to look back at this year, probably two years ago, gosh, remember the good old days, when everything was normal.

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

Everything you and I talked about last night, Stu, about what we're doing in January, make -- put -- does it make it even more critical that that happens like, oh, I don't know.

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

GLENN: You are going to need to know your values, your ethics, your rights.

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

It lacks the full autonomy and the generalized reasoning of a human mind. But it is the closest that we've come.

It's a system that can adapt, innovate, at a level that outpaces specialized AIs by a wide margin.

This is a milestone. This is not a destination, but it's something that should jolt everybody awake. So here's what's coming over the next six months. By December 2025, that's this Christmas!

December 2025, he believes, Musk, that Grok 4, will drive breakthroughs in material sciences.

So, in other words, imagine a new -- brand-new alloy, that is lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel.

And it revolutionizes aerospace and everything else, or a drug that halts Alzheimer's progression, tailored to a person's DNA.

Grok will drive breakthroughs through material science. So brand-new materials that nobody has ever thought of.

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

And chemical engineering, putting together chemicals that no man has ever thought.

That's going for happen by December.

Imagine a chemical compound that makes carbon capture, economically viable. The climate change stuff, that's over.

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

Musk said something that he never thought. He believes that within the next year, by 2027, Grok 4 will uncover new physical laws.

So that will rewrite the understanding -- our understanding of the entire universe.

That there will come -- like there's gravity. Hey, you know what, there's another law here that you never thought of. Wait. What?

That, he says, will come by 2027. This is going to accelerate human discovery, at an unprecedented scale.

I told you, at some point. I said, by 2030. It might be a little earlier than that.

Things will be happening at such a fast rate, you won't be able to keep up with them.

And it will accelerate to the point to where you won't even understand what all of this means.

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

In six months, Grok 4 could evolve into a system, that dwarfs human expertise in economics, defense, all of it.

Now, again, it's a bit terrifying to quote Elon Musk. Why?

Because we don't know, what else comes with this.

This is like an alien life form.

We have no idea, what to predict. What it will be capable of.

How it will view us, when we are ants, to its intellect.

Okay?

It is a tool, but it is also Pandora's box.

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

My feeling is: What I've been saying forever.

2027 to 2030, I'm leaning more toward the 2027 now.

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

And as Musk said himself, two times, it's terrifying!

We should act like it is terrifying.

Or risk losing the control of the future, that we're all trying to build. That's the biggest story of the day.

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O’Reilly’s SOLUTION to the DOJ’s Epstein Files fallout

Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn Beck with his plan for how the Trump administration can fix the Epstein Files fallout "overnight." Plus, he explains why he believes there's only one way that former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan get indicted by a grand jury.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program, sir! How are you?

BILL: Welcome. (inaudible)

And right off the bat, I have to correct you.

GLENN: Yeah. You're not alive. What know.

BILL: I mean, you know -- you don't know that?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. No. I -- I thought you were dead. Anyway --

BILL: You were dead to me, oh!
(laughter)
I --

GLENN: I get it.

BILL: That's just another brick in your wall, Beck.
(laughter)

GLENN: It's good to talk to you, Bill.

Tell me -- you had a conversation with -- with President Trump, what, a couple of months ago, and I talked about --

BILL: Yeah. St. Patrick's Day, he invited me to sit on a cabinet meeting, which he does sometimes.

And he said, look, we've got files, Kennedy, King, Epstein -- what do you think? And I said, well, first Kennedy you've got to put out pretty much everything, which he did. King, he didn't. I don't know why. Because that's important too.

And then on Epstein I said, you have to be careful here, because this is now being used in political precincts. Both sides want to destroy anybody that was associated with Epstein. And the problem is that a federal investigation. They don't make a determination whether you had a -- what kind of relationship you had with Epstein. They just said, so-and-so had lunch with him.

Or maybe so-and-so had -- saw him at a party. And I said, any name of a human being associated with Epstein, in any way, that person is going to be destroyed. Because you know, the press is not going to put anything into context.

So I said, but it's very important that the Justice Department tell the folks what they know.

And you don't have to get specific with anything.

But you have to say, this is the information that we've compiled. And that's not hard.

And I don't know why the Trump administration is not doing that.

GLENN: Wow!

So, first of all, it's your fault, that we're not getting any names. We learned a lot here.

BILL: Probably my fault, but the president --

GLENN: You know what, I think you're right. I don't want all the names of the people. I want to know --

BILL: And I don't either.

GLENN: Right! I want to know the Justice Department has sorted through the things, and then have gone through. And said, this is criminal. This is not. These people are being indicted, et cetera, et cetera. But to come out and say, there is nothing there, I mean, it's -- it's at least --

BILL: It's ridiculous.

GLENN: It's mass incompetence, at least from Pam Bondi. How could she come out and say, it's all sitting on my desk?

And then when she doesn't release it, she says, well, that's because the FBI in New York is thwarting this process. There are people up there, that are trying to keep this from me.

And then she makes no arrests on that. We never hear about that again.

And then now all of a sudden, there's nothing to see.

BILL: Well, listen, Pam Bondi does not make decisions on her own.

No cabinet member does.

All the decisions come out of the West Wing.

So what I believed happened was, Trump was so obsessed with the big bill, with Iran, with Putin, with China.

That this -- they didn't even think about this. Okay?

GLENN: I believe that.

BILL: And it slowly began to unravel. And then I caught it by surprise.

But this is the easiest fix. Somewhere so easy.

BILL: So if I'm in charge, and that would be a great thing for everyone, except you, Beck -- but every other American, if I were in charge, tremendous. You would be in Botswana. Right.

GLENN: Right. Oh, I know.

Yeah. Yeah. I would be the ambassador of the white farmers in -- in South Africa if it were up to you. I know. I know.

BILL: No. You would be wandering around going, I am Glenn Beck. And they would go, who? That's what you'd be doing.

GLENN: That's every day.

BILL: So this could happen within the hour. Pam Bondi announces a press conference for tomorrow.

At that press conference, sitting next to her, is Merrick Garland, everyone.

You had this stuff for four years! Now, I understand that Mr. Garland has gone native and is living in a -- well, we can find him. We can pull him out of there, and have him and Pam, sit there and answer questions in a general way about what evidence the Justice Department of the United States has compiled.

GLENN: Not going to happen.

BILL: That's it!

Well, if it's not going to happen, then President Trump is going to take a hit.

But he's calculating that this will say that it's that night important.

But I don't know why you would not do it.

I just don't know. And I'm usually pretty good at predicting what the president does or does not do.

GLENN: So here's the thing, Bill.

I think he keeps focusing on Epstein. It's not that big of a deal.

It's not about Epstein. It's about justice.

It's about, can we trust the people -- correct!

It's all about credibility and justice.

And he's not seeing that. And I don't know how he's missing that. Because I agree with you.

He's been so busy on so many other things.

BILL: That's right. That's right.

GLENN: This is not at the top of his priority list.

But he did campaign on it.

BILL: Right.

And I don't know if there's anybody inside the White House.

He looks to be annoyed, when this subject comes up.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: And here's the -- what works -- you have to understand.

A guy like Donald Trump runs it all.

If he's annoyed, nobody will want to annoy him more. Okay?

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: That's how it works. The older arch is, because Epstein got favorable treatment.

By the feds, in the first go around in Florida, that there's a deep suspicion about this case.

But if you break it down, if the Biden administration had any dirt on any Republican associated with Epstein. It would have been out.

And vice-versa.

If the Republicans had any dirt on any Democrats. Now, we know that former president Clinton, was involved with Epstein to some extent.

I don't know if that was a factor, okay? I don't know.

But your right for once. You're right. It's about credibility. It's about the American people trusting that we do have equal justice for all!

So what do you -- what do you make of now the Russia gate thing, coming out, today. Or yesterday.

The FISA court.

The fact that they're now saying, hey.

You know, we need to hold Brennan accountable.

We're like five or six days away.

Weeks away from him, you know, slipping past the -- the statute of limitations.

I mean, all these things are out today.

There's that. There is also the -- let's see here.

The Secret Service -- I think this happened a year ago.

But it's being reported as if it's news.

Secret Service suspends six agents assigned to protect Trump during a Butler assassination attempt. I mean, all these things are coming out. Like, look, we're busy on all these things. And I do believe they're busy on these things.

But it's like the Keystone Cops are in charge of the PR on this. It's bad.

BILL: Well, there's a lot of politics involved in both of those cases. Number one, in order to get Comey and Brennan to get indicted by a grand jury. Federal grand jury, and that's the only passage, you would have to have a whistle-blower, saying, yeah, these guys abused their power. I worked for them. And they absolutely wanted to get Trump.

And they knew the Russia dossier was phony.

And they did it anyway.

If I have that Justice Department.

Then you can get those guys.

If you don't have it, they will not be even indicted by a grand jury.

GLENN: So how is it that we do not have that Justice Department?

How do we not have that Justice Department?

BILL: Well, look. I don't know whether they have a whistle-blower or not, okay?

And if they have a whistle-blower, I want the case to go forward.

I want those two men indicted.

You can't do that, at that level.

As far as the Secret Service is concerned, monumental screw up. Everybody knows it. They fired the morons in charge of it. That woman -- I was embarrassed listening to her, trying to explain.

They didn't know what the deuce was going on. But this was across-the-board, in the Biden administration.

You know, it was a year ago Sunday, this upcoming Sunday.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: And it's just another example of how the Biden administration was the second worst administration in the history of this country. People have no idea how bad it was.

Every single agency was chaotic. Nothing worked. And this is just part of that. And we'll have a slew of stuff on Sunday. Nothing really meaningful.

I mean, they suspended the Secret Service agents, as they should have. They fired the director as they should have. The guy was a nut.

I don't know if there was anything more to that. I doubt it.

I'm more interested in the guy in the bushes. Because they don't know anything about him. I would like to know a little bit about him.

But again, the federal government, it doesn't really matter. It's the government. They never want to tell us stuff, Beck, never.

We always have to pull it out of them. It's almost like Russia or something. Come on!

GLENN: Right. Yeah. Let me ask you, let me take you back again to the Epstein thing.

I noticed yesterday, there were these people who were on the left. Who were taking tweets of mine. That say, look. These things don't make sense. On the Epstein thing. And they just have to be answered. And not anti-Trump at all.

And yet, the anti-Trump people were retweeting that, and they're trying to -- they're trying to get the right to fight against itself again and split people away from Donald Trump, where I don't think this Epstein thing is -- is splitting people from Donald Trump, at least at this point.

And I -- you know, I -- my wife stopped me from answering some of those tweets, yesterday.

Because it's never good, when you -- when I tweet in anger. Which I did.

But -- or was going to. What did you think about how this is being used against the right to try to separate us even more?

BILL: Everything is political. Everybody knows that for you.

But the MAGA people, from the mail I get. And I get a voluminous amount of mail. They're not happy.

GLENN: Oh, I agree. I'm not happy.

BILL: Now, are they going to throw President Trump under the cliché-ridden bus? No. Because to them, the greater good is being served by a fair tax bill.

Trying to cut waste.

Dealing with Iran effectively. And hopefully dealing with Putin.

That's another thing, that's on Trump's plate.

He has to deal with Putin now.

Has to. And that will be the next big story.

GLENN: How is he going to deal with it?

BILL: Lavrov and Rubio, are in Indonesia, as we speak.

And I assume that Rubio is delivering a message. That you either stop, or we're going to just absolutely crush you economically. Which the United States can do. By saying. No bank does business with Moscow.

And if you do business, no matter what bank you are, we're going to put you out of business.

Okay?

GLENN: Yeah. I've only got a couple of seconds. But didn't we already do that under Biden?

BILL: No! We didn't do the banks. We did the sanctions. And the sanctions they can always get around, because China is going to buy as much oil from Russia as possible.

You stop the banks, from doing all business with Moscow? Who is going --

GLENN: Isn't that what the SWIFT thing was all about?

When we kicked them off of SWIFT, wasn't that what that was all about?

BILL: No! Because they can still do a huge business with countries buying their oil.

And they got to pay Putin and Russia for the oil, and that has to go through the banking system.

If you stop the banking system, he can't get paid.

GLENN: Hmm, it's amazing. I'm glad I'm not the president right now. I think he's made some very brave decisions, and he is walking a tightrope. I mean, the world is on edge. And I pray for --

BILL: He looks very tired to me. Very tired. I haven't talked to him in a while, which is unusual. But you're right. You're absolutely right. That's the second time you've been right in this conversation. My God!

GLENN: I know. It's crazy.

BILL: What in the world.

GLENN: I was wrong about you being dead.

BILL: What is happening?

GLENN: It's good -- it's good to talk to you, my friend. Is everything okay? Is everything going well?

BILL: Everything is all right, Beck. We are not only successful, but that's old news. We've been that way for 50 years, but I appreciate you having me on your fine program.

GLENN: Okay. I love you.

BILL: Stu is still breathing.

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: So that's good. Right.

But I've got a big book called Confronting Evil. Of course, we sent it, and of course you denied getting it. That comes out September 9th, so put me on a dance card.

GLENN: Well, we'll have you on. And you can also find Bill and his YouTube page. YouTube.com/BillOReilly. Or is it The Walking Dead?
(laughter)
He's not even laughing. Maybe he hung up. Bill O'Reilly, great to have him on.
