GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. We're glad you're here. So yesterday, I tweeted and put something on Instagram. A video of my wife and I went shopping at Costco yesterday. And I just tweeted, not saying you should go to Costco. But I'm not not saying it either.

Just assuming like a dummy, that people would understand, that I'm concerned about the banking system.

And, you know, just a good idea to stock up on aspirin and children's Tylenol and allergy medicine. And things that you will need, if there's a breakdown of the supply chain, you don't want to be without medicine and toothpaste and things like that.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: So that's what I did yesterday. And then immediately, it caught fire with, Glenn Beck is suggesting that there will be so much unrest due to Trump being indicted. That people should stock up on essentials.

STU: You suggested that?

GLENN: That's what I suggested apparently.

So that was what I really was worried about. Had nothing to do with the banks. No. Uh-uh. Had nothing to do with that.

STU: I feel like that was in the news. People might have heard about it.

GLENN: Yeah. It might have been something I have been known to talk about, being prepared.

And speaking of that, I have the results of this audience, and I think it's going to shock you.

This audience, we took a poll of 10,000 audience members.

How prepared are you? Now, we took this last week. Stu, you didn't get a chance to participate, darn it. So for mainly entertainment purposes, I thought we would have you take the poll.

How much food do you have saved with a long shelf life? I only order takeout.

Maybe until the end of a workweek. At least two weeks' worth of food.

My food stockpile can last several months. That's three. I'm good for at least a year.

STU: I mean, definitely at least two weeks. I would say, question is, can I get to several months? And I think --

GLENN: Three?

STU: I will go with that one. I think I can get to that one.

I do have -- I had placed an order a couple years ago, My Patriot Supply. Got some stuff.

GLENN: For what? Like your 48-hour kit from My Patriot Supply?

STU: No, it was a couple of big boxes. Lots of packages in there.

GLENN: Do you even know where they are? Oh, boy.

STU: Yes. Loosely.

I know kind of where they are. I can find them in a pinch.

GLENN: Okay. How much bottled water do you have stored in case of an emergency? Tap water doesn't count. None, I would be dead within three days.

I have a large pack of plastic water bottles from my kids' soccer games that could last a couple of days.

STU: Definitely at least this high.

GLENN: I have a few Costco-sized water bottle packs that could last a week or two.

My water stockpile could last several months.

I'm good for at least a year.

STU: There's a big gap between a couple weeks and several months. I -- I feel like I'm falling in that window quite a bit.

GLENN: Yeah, I know.

STU: Because I do have a few of those big water cooler jugs, you know, that I kept. We had a water cooler, we don't have it anymore.

But I kept a bunch of the extra bottles, just in case. Because I was thinking about you. You were always talking about having --

GLENN: So when let's say power goes out, you'll be able to not fill those right away.

STU: No. They're filled. They're sealed. When they were first delivered.

GLENN: Good for you. You probably have a better water supply than I have.

STU: I knew it. I'm the one who is prepared around here.

GLENN: Well, anyway.

How many of the following basic supplies do you have? A flashlight with extra batteries?

STU: Probably, yeah.

GLENN: I'm battery central, man. My wife has like batteries.

Batter-powered solar-powered radio.

STU: Solar-powered radio.

GLENN: Or battery-powered radio.

STU: I might have that.

GLENN: Cell phones and chargers.

STU: Yeah. Cell phones and chargers. Yes, I've got cell phones and chargers.

GLENN: And matches.

STU: We have a few lighters. Does that count?

GLENN: Yeah. Well, I guess.

It doesn't say lighters, but matches.

STU: Yeah. I think I was pretty good on that one, you know.

I mean, this is -- I'm basically a prepper, is what we're learning.

GLENN: How secure is your home or shelter? Not prepared at all. I have a fireplace and firewood.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: I do have a fireplace.

GLENN: Yeah. But it's gas, isn't it?

STU: I do have a gas fireplace.

I do have -- like one of those outdoor fire pits. Does that count?

I got a propane tank. We can slide that right in the house. What would go wrong?

GLENN: No, it doesn't.

I have an alternative source of heat to cook food, like a charcoal grill or camping stove. There you are.

STU: I have a gas grill.

GLENN: In addition to a heat source, I have a backup generator in case of power outages.

I have a very -- I have a little backup generator. We lost power. And I was able to power the refrigerator for eight straight hours. We didn't lose our food.

GLENN: There we go. I have an entire bunker ready to go, if power goes out.

STU: Well, I have that. That's Glenn's house. We think of Glenn's house as our bunker.

GLENN: I have guns, if I wouldn't have lost them in that fishing accident.

STU: That's why I was happy you lost them in the fishing accident. Because now I can come over, and you probably won't shoot at my early.

GLENN: How strong is your emergency fund?

This one is really very important.

Because if the banks go down, which do not panic.

All you have to do is prepare. If you have enough money for a few days of what it would cost to, you know, get gas, and food, or whatever.

You should have that in cash.

It would be great to have, you know, your monthly bills, in cash for a month. Okay?

But you should have some cash, just in case there's a banking holiday. Hmm, I love that.

STU: I mean, the bank collapses. I mean, I'm not paying bills. What are they going to do?

Just tell them the bank collapsed. Sorry, I can't make those payments.

GLENN: Okay. How strong is your emergency fund? I don't have an emergency fund. My emergency fund can cover one to two months of expenses.

This is not cash on-hand, this is what you would have in the bank.

STU: Oh, okay.

GLENN: Three to five months of expenses, six to eight months of expenses, a year's worth of expenses.

STU: I mean, I could go easily into multiple years. I got it all stored over at FTX. I don't remember. I haven't checked in a while though.

GLENN: How much do you have invested in silver, gold, or extra precious medals? None. I bought half a gram of silver just for kicks, precious medals are a small part of what I have, precious medals medium, or precious medals large part.

STU: You know, I --

GLENN: This is entertainment purposes.

STU: Entertainment purposes. My Social Security number, is that the next question on this?

GLENN: Yeah. How many of these barter skills do you know?

I was bad on this one.

Carpentry, sewing, auto repair, medical expertise, or zero.

STU: When do you get to talk on radio?

GLENN: Zero. Yeah, that's zero.

I had to punch zero on that one. How much emergency fuel do you have stored for your car? None. I need an extra gallon of gas in the garage. I have enough extra gas to last a month.

Gas stored for the last six months.

STU: What are you supposed to do with extra gas?

GLENN: You put it in -- you know, you put it in plastic containers, okay? Big, red plastic containers.

STU: And then what?

GLENN: You fill them up.

And then over about a two-month period, you cycle through that gas. So if you need gas instead of --

STU: I've read horror stories of them. Because I lost power, I had to get gas from the generator. And then I did that. And then I had -- once the power came back on, I had leftover gas.

And then I was like, well, what am I supposed to do with that gas?

Then I went online. I made the mistake of searching for what I should do. And it was like, your house will burn down, if you keep this gas anywhere within 500 feet of your home.

That's basically what they said.

So then I just started running my car in the driveway, burning gas, and filling it back up. That's legitimately what I did.

GLENN: Is that what you did?

STU: I just ran my gas in the driveway for like eight straight hours. And just kept filling it up, until I burnt it up. Added it directly into the atmosphere.

GLENN: If you have a shed or something like that, just keep it in the shed.

STU: Then the shed burns down. That's what online said.

GLENN: Then there will be an explosion.

How well can you use a paper map? Hopeless without an i Phone?

Could possibly navigate to the other side of the neighborhood.

Navigate around a new city.

Can handle long hall road map trips with a paper map.

I'm -- I'm Bear Grylls. Drop me in the middle of a Mongolian desert with a map and a compass, and I could find my way back to civilization.

STU: I mean, I am probably not to that level, but I can read a paper map.

I will say, this is the same thing that will happen with AI.

I was thinking of you the other day, when I was thinking of this.

Because what happened from maps to GPS, is about -- is about what's about to happen with our writing skills?

GLENN: Everything. Everything.

STU: Everything. You're not going to do any of it anymore.

You're going to click ChatGPT. It will write something up.

GLENN: You will go. I need report. Yes, we got it.

STU: Idiocrasy is going to happen.

GLENN: Yeah. It will happen. It will happen.

Did you actually take it, and click on it?

STU: Oh. I thought you were doing it.

GLENN: Oh, I was doing it for me. I'm Mad Max, by the way, 100 percent. Even with no skills. No skills.

STU: Anyway, I'll quickly go through it.

GLENN: You go through it, 10,000 people took the quiz in this audience. Where do you think most of this audience is?

STU: I mean, I would think, you would think this audience, super well prepared, right?

GLENN: So 1.7 are toast. Okay?

STU: That's their category.

GLENN: You won't survive if your kitchen table breaks. It's like, I don't know what to do. I had to eat the children.

So that's 1.7 that took it, not prepared at all. Thirteen percent could survive a mild disaster. They've tucked, you know, some finances away for emergencies. They have useful tools or skills. And, you know, a little bit of food.

Most of this audience could survive a big disaster.

In fact, 69.8 percent of this audience, congratulations, you have some investment in precious metals, an emergency fund, some food and supplies stockpiled.

Maybe an extra generator. Even though, you may not be a prepper, you've taken steps to prepare for hard times, which will protect you and your loved ones for weeks, even months.

That's 70 percent of this audience. Then there's this -- Mad Max category of 15 percent, 14.7 percent.

Fifteen percent of this audience is Mad Max. You're one of the few people who could actually survive a nuclear apocalypse.

STU: Right.

GLENN: There -- there's a few that I'll bet you, in the general population, I can't even imagine.

What? One percent. Less than 1 percent. Your bunker is stocked with food, water supplies to last you months.

Silver, gold, emergency fund, will help you cruise in times of financial distress. You can secure more goods because you have learned a bunch of barter skills. You are Mad Max. It's great.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Now, if you haven't taken this test, you can just take it for yourself now.

But we have the ultimate preparation guide, which is filled with really easy, do this. Do you have this?

Just a checklist. And you can go as far as you want on the list, but it is a really easy guide to be prepared for whatever may come your way.

Go to GlennBeck.com now, and see how prepared you actually are, and then prepare.

If you want that list, you can find it at GlennBeck.com. I think it's no longer on the front page.

So I think you have to go down and click on, what is it? Extra stories or something like that. If you just go to the front page, you'll --

STU: Load more content.

GLENN: Yeah, load more content. Elton. It's right before my big fat face with radio and TV on it. Hit that, and then you'll find it on that second page.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

With Elon Musk’s announcement of Grok 4, humanity is closer than ever before to creating AGI – artificial general intelligence – which would change everything. Glenn Beck breaks down what’s coming in the next year with AI, which even Elon Musk called “terrifying.”

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

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

It's going to change rapidly.

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

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

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

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

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

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

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

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

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

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

Okay?

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

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

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

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

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

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

Okay?

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

But it goes down.

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

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

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

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

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

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

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

Okay?

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

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

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

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

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

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

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

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

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

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

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

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

Okay.

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

Reasoning, creativity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

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

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

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

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

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

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

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

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

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

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

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

That's going for happen by December.

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

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

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

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

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

This is like an alien life form.

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

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

Okay?

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

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

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

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

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

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

We should act like it is terrifying.

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

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O'Reilly reveals how Trump can END Epstein files nightmare overnight!

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

GLENN: All right. Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program, sir! How are you?

BILL: Welcome. (inaudible)

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: I get it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Wow!

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

BILL: Probably my fault, but the president --

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

BILL: And I don't either.

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

BILL: It's ridiculous.

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

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

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

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

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

No cabinet member does.

All the decisions come out of the West Wing.

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

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

GLENN: I believe that.

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

But this is the easiest fix. Somewhere so easy.

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

GLENN: Right. Oh, I know.

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

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

GLENN: That's every day.

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

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

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

GLENN: Not going to happen.

BILL: That's it!

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

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

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

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

GLENN: So here's the thing, Bill.

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

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

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

It's all about credibility and justice.

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

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

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

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

But he did campaign on it.

BILL: Right.

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

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

GLENN: Oh, I know.

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

A guy like Donald Trump runs it all.

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

GLENN: Oh, I know.

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

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

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

And vice-versa.

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

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

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

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

The FISA court.

The fact that they're now saying, hey.

You know, we need to hold Brennan accountable.

We're like five or six days away.

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

I mean, all these things are out today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

And they knew the Russia dossier was phony.

And they did it anyway.

If I have that Justice Department.

Then you can get those guys.

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

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

How do we not have that Justice Department?

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

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

I want those two men indicted.

You can't do that, at that level.

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

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

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

GLENN: Right.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trying to cut waste.

Dealing with Iran effectively. And hopefully dealing with Putin.

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

He has to deal with Putin now.

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

GLENN: How is he going to deal with it?

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

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

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

Okay?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: I know. It's crazy.

BILL: What in the world.

GLENN: I was wrong about you being dead.

BILL: What is happening?

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

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

GLENN: Okay. I love you.

BILL: Stu is still breathing.

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: So that's good. Right.

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

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