Glenn CALLS OUT Mitt Romney’s ‘REPREHENSIBLE’ behavior

The far-left hates the U.S. Constitution, which is exactly why they also dislike Senator Mike Lee. And now, the mainstream media is spewing lies about the Utah Senator, accusing him of supporting unconstitutional efforts to change the outcome of the 2020 election. But this couldn’t be FURTHER from the truth. In fact, in this clip, Glenn and Stu read text messages from Sen. Lee that prove the media's claims are false. So, why then does Mitt Romney continue to antagonize his GOP colleague? It’s ‘REPREHENSIBLE’ behavior, Glenn says. ‘SHAME ON YOU,' Mitt Romney.

GLENN: There's a story out, that is a love letter to Mitt Romney.

And it really pisses me off. Really pisses me off. Do you have it up on your --

STU: Yeah. I have it up on your -- the appeal carried the unmistakable whiff of desperation.

GLENN: Okay. This is talking about Mike Lee on Tucker Carlson, just a couple of days ago.

STU: That it was delivered on live television, only heightened the dramatic tension, according to the New York Times.

A Utah Republican, senator Mike Lee was publicly begging a fellow Utah Republican senator Mitt Romney, for a simple act of solidarity.

GLENN: Now, hang on.

Do they spell begging, S-H-A-M-I-N-G?

STU: No. That's a different word.

GLENN: That's a different word. Huh. Because I thought it was more like shaming.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay.

STU: He wanted an endorsement for his campaign, one that in Mr. Lee's telling could amount to no less than an act of salvation.

GLENN: Wait. What?

STU: That would be a very strange thing, if Mike Lee said that, that way. I would be curious to see his wording on that. As he battles for his political survival against an unexpected fierce challenger, the independent candidate.

Evan Owen McMuffler. That's his new name apparently. Please, get on board, Mr. Lee said, looking into the camera, and addressing Mr. Romney by name on Tuesday night. Help me win reelection. Help us do that. You can get your entire family to donate to me.

Now, that sounds like a joke.

GLENN: He is -- he was shaming Mitt Romney.

He's not begging. He's shaming Mitt Romney. This is the first time, I believe, where this has happened. Where a junior senator won't support the reelection of the senior senator, on the same team, supposedly.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And so Romney is like, you know, I'm friends with both of them.

No, you're not. I know for a fact, you're not friends with Mike Lee. Mike might say he is friends with you. Because Mike is much more Christian than I am.

But believe me, if I were ever a friend counselor for Mike, I would be saying, he's no friend of yours. And I think -- so you're not friends with Mike Lee.

STU: Right. And the way this is worded. They're saying it's an act of desperation. They're saying, hey, help us get elected. You can get your entire family to donate to me. That's not someone who is desperate and begging. That's someone with a smirk on his face, pointing out the absurdity of the situation.

GLENN: They hate Mike Lee.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Let me translate. Let me translate. They hate the Constitution. They hate it.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And Mike stands up for the Constitution, every single time.

STU: He does.

GLENN: Even when he's like, it's killing me.

Oh. I have to do this. And he doesn't want to. But that's what the Constitution says.

STU: Uh-huh. You're right.

And it goes on. Mr. Lee, and Mr. Romney were and evidently rage antagonists in the lingering drama of January 6th, 2021. Question mark?

That's my question mark. They put a period there.

GLENN: Wait. Wait. So Mitt Romney was for the January 6th?

STU: I don't think so. But I know Mike Lee wasn't. Mr. Lee played --

GLENN: I didn't know that about Mitt Romney.

I'm surprised that Mitt was for the January 6th.

STU: Passionate proponent of it.

GLENN: Apparently. Wow.

STU: Because Mike Lee was not.

But they disagreed with this analysis. They said, Mr. Lee played a key role in support of President Donald Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 election and cling to power.

GLENN: This makes me angry.

STU: It's insanity.

GLENN: It's not insanity.

It is an out-and-out lie.

STU: Yes.

GLENN: I know. I talked to Mike Lee, on January 6th. I talked to Michael Lee, before January 6th. We talked about how this is a very dangerous situational. And there comes a time. And that time was that day.

Done. You don't make the case. You don't make the case. You have to make the case.

And the time to make the case, was over.

STU: Yeah. December 14th is the -- is the date, in the Constitution, by the way.

GLENN: Mike knew that, was not for any of this.

Was not trying to -- oh, I can't take it.

STU: Now, what they're trying -- I guess they're pointing to.

Is these texts from Mike Lee. And I was like, I looked at these texts at the time.

And as someone who also did not think January 6th was a good thing. And also knew the date of December 14th.

GLENN: So you disagreed with Mitt Romney?

STU: Yeah. I guess so. I did not have a problem with him. So I wanted to go back and look at them. They're saying, he's a stalwart proponent of this theory. Okay?

GLENN: What theory?

STU: That you could overturn the election.

GLENN: No.

STU: No. I mean, obviously not.

GLENN: He was a stalwart proponent of get to the bottom of it. But you have very little time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And if you can make the case, make the freaking case.

STU: So I went back to. This is the CNN article talking about it. January 3rd, Lee texted Mark Meadows saying, the effort could all babbling fire badly. Does that sound like a stalwart proponent of a theory?

GLENN: Start at the beginning. Go to the earliest text. It's the day after the election.

STU: Yeah. What was the election date. I don't remember. But it was November -- so this is November 7th. Immediately in the aftermath of this.

I think that may have been the date that they announced Biden as the winner, I can't remember. November 7th, Lee offered his unequivocal support for you. Meaning the Trump administration, to exhaust every legal and constitutional remedy at your disposal.

GLENN: Those are pretty important words. When you're talking about Mike Lee.

You're talking about Nancy Pelosi. That means nothing.

STU: That means nothing. Right. Mike Lee cares about the Constitution, cares about the law. So he said legal constitutional remedy at your disposal, to restore American's faith in our elections.

GLENN: That's not even saying -- that's not saying anything -- that's saying, what do we have to do, we should pursue it to the letter of the law, to restore faith in our elections.

STU: That is exactly how the system is set up. You have the window to challenge these things.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

STU: Within the bounds of the law.

GLENN: Correct.

STU: Now, moving on to a little bit later. Let's see.

GLENN: He was for Sydney. What's her?

STU: No, yeah. This is -- okay. Here we go. Over a few days in November, Lee lobbied Meadows to get attorney Sidney Powell access to Trump. This is what they accuse him of. Sidney Powell -- this is the text he sent. Sidney Powell is sending -- saying that she needs to get in to see the president, but she is being kept away from him.

Lee wrote to Meadows on November 7th. Apparently, she has a strategy to keep things alive, and put several states back in play. Can you help her get in? Now, that's not a stalwart proponent of a theory.

Sidney Powell was a respected member of the legal community at this time.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: And he doesn't even know what the theory is. She uses the word apparently. He doesn't even know what it is. But he's like, hey, she wants to get in there. Can you help?

GLENN: So I had her on the air, around that time. And I remember, what is the case? And she kept saying, we have this and this and this. And we'll keep presenting.

And I said to her on the air, you know, you have to make the case -- make the case. If you have it, make the case.

STU: Right. And we asked Sidney Powell to her face, on the air. Hey, you know the date is coming up in December, right? Where this is the end. Will you have the evidence, and present it by this date?

She said, yes. She would. She did not have that evidence. Said the same thing to Rudy Giuliani, by the way. He said he would be able to run it. He was not able to do it.

We all knew the rules going in. You might not like the rules, but those were the rules. And we talked about it at the time.

So now we get to the position, where Sidney Powell is now trying to reveal her case on this. And Mike Lee, the -- the supposed stalwart supporter of this, sees the case, and says, he's, quote, worried about the Powell press conference. This is in November. November 19th.

GLENN: That's the press conference. This is after we -- I think had her on the air.

And when I watched the press conference, I said, I don't think they have anything. They're saying the same thing they said a week ago. I don't think they have anything.

STU: Right. Then Lee texted Meadows. The potential defamation liability for the president is significant here.

For the capable and for the president personally. Unless Powell can back up everything she said, which I kind of duty she can. Mark Meadows replied, I agree, very concerned.

So like, this is -- they're painting Mike Lee as a supporter of this.

This is it don't have to 19th. This is along before anything even close to January 6th.

On December 16th, Lee goes to Meadows and asks for guidance. If you want senators to object, we need to hear from you, on -- on that. Ideally getting some guidance on what arguments to raise.

I think we're now past the point, where we can expect anyone will do it without some direction and some strong evidentiary argument.

Again, he's saying, you guys have not provided the evidence to support the objection. This is not a guy, who was a fighting for January 6th. And then he also said on January 3rd, Lee argued to -- this is to Meadows. I only know, this will end badly for the president. Unless we have the Constitution on our side. And unless these states submit new slates of Trump electors, pursuant to state law, we do not.

He is saying, we do not have this, unless you do it somehow weekly.

GLENN: See, to the New York Times, that doesn't mean anything. Because none of their politicians care about the -- they'll talk about the Constitution. I'm a big supporter of the Constitution.

And then they disregard it. With Mike Lee, it means something. And, you know, I -- I -- I spoke to him. On that day.

There are -- you know, I just can't -- I spoke to him on that day. He was not a supporter by any stretch of the imagination of what happened.

And Mitt Romney, you are absolutely -- you and your allies are reprehensible. Reprehensible.

How you can say that you are honest in all of your business dealings, is beyond me. Because you know this is not true. Shame on you. Shame on you.

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 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.
