'Greatest risk of a terrorist attack in 20 years': Senator SLAMS 'atrocious' Biden move

White House officials have admitted that they're concerned about terrorists illegally coming across our southern border. But what is President Biden's plan? A spending package that DOESN'T even secure the border! Instead, it tries to tie our border funding to Ukraine aid and Senator J.D. Vance is having none of it. Sen. Vance joins Glenn to tear into Biden's "atrocious" proposals, including another one that would tie Israel aid to Ukraine and Palestinian aid: "Joe BIden is effectively using dead Israeli children to sell this package to the American people." And just as concerning, he says, is the fact that "too many Senate Republicans are going along with it."

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Senator J.D. Vance. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

J.D.: Good, Glenn. How you are doing?

GLENN: Good. Thank you for standing up for this. This is, in my opinion, disgusting what is happening. Tying these two things together. And the way we're financing Hamas and Iran, is really stomach-turning.

So thank you for standing pick up. Tell us what you're doing.

J.D.: Yeah. I appreciate it, Glenn. Look, the problem here, is that Joe Biden sees a political opportunity in 1400 murdered Israelis. The terrorist attack happened. Of course, this is a very terrible thing. We lost a lot of Americans in that terrorist attack.

In my view, we want to power the Israelis to do as much as they can to degrade Hamas.

That's on the one hand. On the other hand, you have a non-stop Ukraine conflict.

We already poured $120 billion into Joe Biden, would like to pour another 60 to $80 billion on top of that.

It is, I think actively contrary to America's interests, to food and fuel prices in the world to have this war continue.

And so Joe Biden has figured out, that he can use the Israeli conflict, to sell the American people on indefinite war in Ukraine.

And, in fact, he's delivered a supplemental spending package to the Senate, that would do exactly that.

Combine Israel and Ukraine. So it makes those of us who are pro-Israel. Makes it harder for us to oppose the package. Unfortunately, Glenn, this is the important part. Too many Senate Republicans are going along with it. When you combine these packages, you put pro-Israel conservative senators in a bind, because they don't want to send another $60 billion to Ukraine.

And Joe Biden is effectively using dead Israeli children to sell this package, to the American people.

We need to separate the packages. Have a separate debate. Because they're separate countries, that raise separate questions and problems for our country.

That is the reasonable thing to do. And we shouldn't be going along with Joe Biden's politicization of the Israel tragedy.

GLENN: But how are you going to do that?

You have people like Lindsey Graham. Who thinks this is just gangbusters. This is just the greatest.

Because now you can get both. There are those, honestly, JD, can you tell me, what does victory in Ukraine look like?

I can tell you what victory in Israel will look like. And end of Hamas.

Possibly an end to the nuclear bomb-building capability of Iran, at the most extreme.

What does winning look like in Ukraine?

The death or the overthrowing of Putin?

J.D.: Well, we have no idea, Glenn. And this is the problem with the Biden administration's policies. They haven't articulated, what are we trying to accomplish in Ukraine?

How long will this take to accomplish it? And how much money will it cost us to do that?

The answer is. And when you talk to them in private settings, they will tell you, Glenn. They really have no idea how this will end. Their hope is that if they kick the can down the road another six months, maybe the Ukrainians make a strategic breakthrough. Maybe the Russians just get tired of fighting.

Maybe the tooth fairy intervenes. Something is supposed to happen.

That makes it possible to bring Russia to the negotiating table.

They know, there was no victory for Ukraine, if you define it as pushing them completely out of the territory, that Russia controls.

So they're just hoping. And I don't think we should be spending $60 billion of American taxpayer money, on top of 120 billion we've already spent. On a hope of Joe Biden and his foreign policy advisers.

It's disgraceful. And it's disgraceful, too many Republicans go along with it.

I will say, one final point here. Obviously Lindsey Graham and I disagree very stridently on the Ukraine question, but even a lot of my Republican colleagues, who are pro-sending money to Ukraine. They want to defy the packages. Because they recognize, it's a slap in the face to Israel

To tie their fate to the Ukrainian war.

GLENN: Aren't we also tying the border security to the Ukrainian funding?

J.D.: That's exactly right. And this is just another example of Joe Biden trying to take things that are politically popular for conservatives. Package them together. And then use that to sell the interminable war in Ukraine.

By the way, Glenn, if you read the fine print on the alleged border security package. It actually gets much worse.

What we're really doing is funding and facilitating Joe Biden's open border.

We are sending resources to communities that are housing illegal migrants.

We're spending a lot of money to transport migrants from the Southern border, all across the country.

There is nothing in the package for real border security. So it's not just that it's a political ploy by Joe Biden, to call something border security. So we can support Ukraine.

When you read the fine print, it doesn't even accomplish border security. It's really, really atrocious, what this guy is trying to do. And, look, I expect it, right?

I disagree with Joe Biden. I didn't vote for him. I'm not going to vote for him. What is ridiculous is if Republicans go along with it.

So the encouragement I make, Glenn, to you, to your audience, because you have a huge audience.

And the voters actually have a voice, and their representatives to them.

Call into DC, and tell them, divide the packages.

Do not hold up the border. And do not hold up Israel's security on Joe Biden's Ukraine war.

GLENN: I have to push back on this one.

And I hope you have a good answer.

But I for one, asked my audience to call. And be polite.

And they called, a couple of weeks ago. And Sean Hannity, asked his people. And Levin, and everybody else.

We called the House. And the weasel Republicans, actually used that, as an excuse to not do what we felt were the right things.

They said, we had these people calling us. And saying all kinds of things.

I can guarantee you, that it was only the odd duck, in my audience that would have done that.

They wouldn't have called them names, and threatened their family.

Maybe that happened.

But that is -- that is not the American people.

That is not the people who support the rule of law. And the Constitution.

So when you say, call the Senate. What is that going to do?

J.D.: Look, Glenn, I understand people have you frustrations. It actually does matter.

And here's the thing. These guys were going to be weasely, no matter what people did. They were just looking for an excuse to not do anything.

GLENN: Right. Exactly right.

J.D.: But I guarantee you, that the calls did not hurt Jim Jordan's speaker candidacy.

They helped. It's just unfortunately, the weasels were going to find a way to kill Jim Jordan's speakership candidacy anyway.

It really does matter. Trust me. I sit in these lunches with my colleagues. Folks I agree with and disagree with.

When they have the American people motivated about an issue, it does affect them. And it does matter. You know, I was one of the first people to endorse Jim Jordan's speaker candidacy.

I think we got a very good speaker. Congressman Johnson gets through this afternoon.

So despite the fact that I supported Jim Jordan, it was pretty clear early on, that they were never going to let Jim Jordan become the Speaker.

And it had nothing to do with us calling.

In fact, I think calling, actually did help us a bit.

GLENN: Okay. So call all of our Republicans.

We need all of them. And then some Democrats too. Don't we?

J.D.: You know, to divide the packages. To actually force us to have a separate debate.

We need 41 Republicans to stand tall, and say, we're not going to do Joe Biden's bidding for him. We're not going to accept this combined package.

100 million-dollar payment. Which, by the way, a lot of open border funding.

So no. I actually think we need Republicans to stick together.

Even if they are pro-Ukraine funding. We need the message to be, we're not holding the American southern border. And we're not holding Israel's security hostage, to the Ukraine war.

GLENN: Yeah. All right. So we don't need all of the Republicans, which helps. Because you'll never get the Romneys of the world.

Okay. So call your Senator.

When does this vote go down?

J.D.: Well, look, it probably won't go down for a couple of weeks here. It's unclear when leadership will try to move this package. But right now, the fight is to divide it. So we have separate votes.

That's what I'm trying to work towards now.

GLENN: Okay. So call your senator today.

And I know when I ask you that. I know. Because I would be rolling my eyes.

You're in the car. And please don't roll your eyes. Keep your eyes on the road. But I would be rolling my eyes as well. I would be like, oh, really, that's going to help.

But we have to do all the things that we do, and then leave the rest up to God.

Do what you're supposed to do.

Do what the system requires. Don't.

And I don't have to say this to you, my audience.

Don't do anything stupid. Don't make threats.

You'll only hurt our cause.

Hello, January 6th.

Please, don't do any of that. I don't mean to insult you or your intelligence on this.

But please call your senator, and tell them to separate. Because you're getting a bogus border bill.

Yeah. Something is wrong with the administration, and their -- how can they be sending money over to Israel.

And then saying, oh, you have to stop. You have to stop.

Don't do anything yet.

There's something wrong with this. I think it's just an act to get the money to Ukraine. And we're headed towards World War III. And the last thing we should be doing, is lumping all of this together.

J.D.: That's exactly right, Glenn.

By the way, if you have Hamas terrorists, who are obviously attacking the Israelis. But are also planning attacks in the United States of America. How does it make sense to facilitate their migration all across the continental United States.

You cannot have real border security, if you're paying people, to move themselves from the southern border, to you all across America.

That will facilitate an open border. And it will actually promote acts of terror in our country. I hate to say it, Glenn. Because I hate to be alarmist about this stuff. I think we're at the greatest risk of a terrorist attack in this country that we've been in 20 years.

GLENN: I agree.

J.D.: And the reason is, Joe Biden has let in a lot of designated terrorists, and then paid money to have them flown across the country.

GLENN: We have had -- we know -- we've caught -- I think it was 400 people that are on the -- on the watch list or the terrorist list. Four hundred, we have caught.

How many people have come across, that we didn't catch?

I mean, we know there are people that wish us ill, that have come into this country. And it's only a matter of time. And when you see the streets, in these Palestinian marches, where they are saying, gas the Jews. Gas the Jews. There's only one solution.

That's not a group of people, or at least a few of the people, that are friendly to our country.

Those are people that do really bad things. Geo

J.D.: That's exactly right, Glenn. And, by the way, a lot of these folks came into the country, and feel no gratitude towards it. And they're importing the ethnic and religious hatreds of their old country into the new one.

This is why we should have -- I really believe this, Glenn. We should have actual screening for people, even legal immigrants, to come into our country. To actually confirm that they share some of our values.

And that if we bring somebody from Palestine, for example.

They're not going to come here, and want to kill Jews and the Westerners because of something they were taught in their own country. If you're an American, become an American. Or stay out of your country.

GLENN: Amen. I can't believe that that will probably cause you a headache today. Because it is absolute common sense. J.D. Vance. Thank you so much, sir.

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.

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.
