Glenn: Why you MUST stand now & draw a LINE IN THE SAND

It’s time we PEACEFULLY draw a line in the sand, Glenn says, and declare to the world we’re only willing to do things the right way. In this clip, Glenn describes how one group of pastors and churches are doing just that. So what will YOU do to stand? Because we were all born for these times, Glenn says, and we’re currently being tested. So, can you be the person you were born to be?

GLENN: So I want you to write this down. Because you're going to have a hard time finding it, if you're Googling. It took me a while to find.

It is Acts529.com. Acts529.com. It's called the Acts 5:29 Statement. And it is vitally important that your church, your pastor, your rabbi sign this document. And here's what it is: The Acts 5:29 statement. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states, Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free speech or free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of the people to peacefully assemble, or to petition the government for a redress of grievances. During the covid-19 pandemic, representatives, who were elected to secure our God-given rights, clearly transgress their lawful authority, in executive action. That prohibited pun meetings, or mandated the wearing of masks. And social distancing.

Good's word directs us, not to forsake the assembling of ourselves technology. Hebrew 10:25.

This verse is a divine injunction. We must obey God, rather than the arbitrary decrees of men.

As a national coalition of pastors and churches, we reject any presidential or gubernatorial decree requiring us to disobey the will of God. We will resist any attempt by a federal state or local official to restrict or prohibit the free exercise of our religion or place restrictions thereon.

The end of all the civil government being -- the end of all civil government, being the good of society, we affirm our submission to lawful civil authority, as instituted by God himself.

But when rulers exceed the scope of their constitutional and God-given authority. They act contrary to their office, and the public good, and affect the ruin and misery of society.

We -- we do not need the permission of civil authorities, to obey what God has commanded. Nor does the church need the approval of civil authorities to serve and worship our God, in the way he has prescribed.

The Greek word translated, church, is ecclesia, which means the assembly. Our identity, as the church of Jesus Christ, means that we are by nature, an assembly. We assemble to hear the word preached. Partake of the sacraments, and fellow Shin with one another. The apostle's teachings are unambiguous in this regard. Civil magistrates have no authority, to dictate what churches may or may not do. The Constitution of the United States is the highest law in our land.

In 1803, in Marbury versus Madison, the Supreme Court ruled, any law repugnant to the Constitution is null and void.

We are on solid constitutional footing, in our refusal to comply with restrictions on public worship. Again, the first amendment states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Any law, order, or mandate, that infringes our God-given right to worship according to conscience, violates the First Amendment and is unlawful. We the undersigned hereby affirm the preceding statements. You can sign this, if you're a pastor, priest, rabbi. You can also sign this, and if you're just a congregant, you should send it to your pastor. Your priest. Or your rabbi.

It is time that we take a stand. It is time that we do things the right way. And peacefully draw the line in the sand. You can arrest us if you want. But I know who I serve. I will not violate the conditions of my first citizenship, to meet the demands of my second citizenship.

I am first a member of a kingdom. A kingdom of God.

And he is my only king. He is my only ruler. I have agreed to live under the laws of the Constitution. And to protect and to support that Constitution. That's what I have to do, to really secure my citizenship, in the United States of America. Support the Constitution. And defend it, if called upon.

But when you go extra constitutional. When you're asking me to do things that you constitutionally don't even have the authority. But instead, the Constitution bars you from doing that specific thing, I will not violate. You can't ask me to, because you're in violation.

You're in violation of your second citizenship. I'm holding true to it. And it is all of our responsibility to stand up. This is the first thing that I have seen on covid, that is an act, that all of us can take. And it is drawing a line in the sand, at our churches. You will not violate our churches. You will not tell us what we can and cannot do, in our churches.

This is not just about covid. This is also about what I can read. What my church can say from the pulpit. Because if you think they're going to stay out of the church, the church, what they are building right now.

The left is building a church. This is a theocracy, that they're building. It looks a lot like fascism. But fascism always has some sort of religion attached to it. Something that you are to believe, thank be proved, that you are to believe.

We're going to reimagine the police. How? Where? When? What does that look like? Any test results from that? When do we reevaluate if that works or not?

You're asked to just sit down, shut up, and believe. And if you have any questions, that's the dark side that is giving you those questions. Don't ask those questions. Don't even think about those questions.

That is an old style church. I mean, when I say old, Dark Ages-style church.

We need to start standing together. So go to Acts529.com. That's Acts529.com. You can send it to your pastor easily. You can sign the statement. You can share it, and you can email officials.

January 1st, 2023. They are going to be emailing all of the officials. Local, state, and federal jurisdictions, to inform them, that these churches are standing.

Well, that's going to put me on a list. Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. You know, there's also another list, called the Book of Life. Yeah, that one is going to be checked too. I wonder what you're doing, or failing to do, I wonder if that helps your name on the book of life. Because in my book, that's the only one that matters.

It's time for our pastors, to find their strength and to find their purpose.

You know, we're all being tested. And I've always looked at this as a good thing. We're being tested right now, can I actually do what you're supposed to do? Can you actually be the person that you were born to be?

Not the person -- oh, I don't know. I don't want to do that. No, I don't want to be one of those people.

Because I don't. I don't want to do any of this. I really don't.

Dr. Rob Schneider the other day, feels exactly the same way. He's like, I got money. I can just go away. I can just go away. Live a happy life. Just unplug, and be fine. By the time they get to me. It will be long time down the road. Probably be dead. Wouldn't mind it.

I was born and so were you, for this time. And all that is required is for us not to go over the cliff with the rest of society.

And that just means you have to stand up, and draw a line in the sand. And say, no. I'm not going there.

Because this is how crazy it's gotten. Here in a very small town, in Texas, Roanoke. Over the weekend, there was a -- a trans -- a family friendly trans show.

It wasn't family friendly. It wasn't. No. You want to take your kids to that. Fine.

I don't get it. But okay. Fine.

You want to have your kids put money, give money to them for their dancing.

Okay. I don't know exactly what you're teaching your kids. But you apparently don't. Or if you do, what the hell is wrong with you?

You know, Biden is going to give this big gun speech this week. He's bound and determined to take AR-15s off the market. Okay. Okay.

Well, not in my town. Not in my town. Because my town gets the Constitution. But all right. That's what you want to do.

I would have to call you somebody, like a dictator. Because that's what dictators would do. Change the Constitution. Change the Constitution.

You want to do that, you believe you have -- you're in the majority, go ahead.

Change the Constitution. It allows you to do that. Just amend it. By the way, the Second Amendment, no longer applies. Go for it. A dictator just goes around that. We had people that were Antifa, dressed all in black, with the black masks and everything else. That were actually using ARs, from the roof of a garage. They were taking sniper positions, in this little town over the weekend. Did anybody on the left say anything about that? Did they have a problem?

How about this one? If you're thinking, I don't -- I don't want to be one of those people. I'm not going to sign that. I'm not going to send it to my pastor to sign.

The Satanic Temple is scheduled to host an event in September, at a Pennsylvania high school auditorium. According to the TST's flyer, that's The Satanic Temple's flyer, the back-to-school fundraiser is a family friendly night filled with arts and crafts, science experiments, live demos, refreshments, and fun for all ages.

Northern York County School District previously voted 8-1 to reject a resident's request to form the TST-sponsored after-school Satan's Club. But they had to let them have a little party, you know, there. To have a fundraiser.

Hmm. Do they? If you don't think, that we are fighting evil, unlike anything you've ever seen before, in your life. Then you -- you don't get it. We're not fighting -- we really are not fighting. Boy, this rings so true to me now. We don't fight flesh and bone. We are fighting principalities. Princes of the air. We are fighting evil. We are.

Tell me what line can be crossed, after man boy love. Minor attracted adults. After we mainstream pedophilia, what -- what is the next line, okay?

What is it?

Because I don't see one after that one. If that's the where we're, no, I'm not going. I'm not going.

And so I will stand against all of these incursion into my life, because I have certain rights. And they're guaranteed to me, through the Constitution, and God. God gives them and guarantees.

The Constitution is to guarantee that government won't do anything about it. And, you know what, they will continue to take and take and take, until we all put our differences aside, and march together, and say, you know what, we still hold these things to be self-evident. And we're not going away. And you're not going to frighten us. Oh, you're going to put us in jail. I don't like it. I don't like it. But if that's what it takes, but that's not going to work, unless we all stand together. Start with the pledge. Acts529.com.

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’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.

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.
