Missing Titanic submarine, Vegas aliens, & more INSANE news

Glenn and Stu recap several stories that seem too INSANE to be true, starting with the tragic situation regarding the OceanGate submarine which went missing during a trip two miles down to the Titanic wreckage. The idea was ‘nuts from day one,’ the guys say, especially considering the weak mechanical parts the submarine used to function. Plus, Glenn details an interesting new Toronto restaurant, and for some reason, he’s not THAT surprised about potential aliens landing in one Las Vegas backyard…

GLENN: Well, CNN has their new -- what was that plane that crashed?

GLENN: The missing plane.

GLENN: MH280. Something like that.

STU: It sounds right.

GLENN: And it is now the Titanic sub. They ran out of air today. And so we believe, unless they are above water some place and haven't found them.

STU: I don't even think that matters, honestly. Because I was watching a video on how this was built. They screw them in from the outside. So they could be floating the whole time. And I don't think there's any way they're getting out of there. I could be wrong on that. Maybe there's a hatchet or some way they could escape in an emergency. I don't know.

GLENN: Can you imagine? Did you see the inside of that?

STU: Oh, my gosh. It looks terrifying. Even if it was working, I wouldn't want to go inside of it.

GLENN: I know.

STU: It's this little tiny tube. You can't stand up. It's basically, you're scrunched up in this little tiny cylinder, that's 2 miles down on the ocean. It was nuts from day one.

GLENN: No way. Yeah.

STU: And did you see the clip they had from 60 Minutes? Where they are like, yeah. We bought this part at Camping World. Camping World!

GLENN: That's nothing against Camping World.

STU: It's a great organization I'm sure.

GLENN: But 2 miles under the ocean. Probably should -- I would feel better --

STU: We have the clip. Oh, we should play this. Because have you seen how they control it?

GLENN: No.

STU: Oh, you got to watch this.

VOICE: It's an experimental, submersible vessel, that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body. And could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death. Where do I sign?

GLENN: Wow.

VOICE: Oh, take your shoes off. That's customary. Okay.

VOICE: Inside, the sub has about as much room as a minivan.

VOICE: So this is not your grandfather's submersible?

VOICE: We only have one button. That's it.

VOICE: It should be like an elevator. It shouldn't take a lot of skill.

VOICE: The Titan is the only 5-person sub in the world that can reach Titanic depths. 2.4 miles below the sea. It's also the only one with a toilet. Sort of. And yet, I couldn't help noticing how many pieces of this sub, seemed improved.

VOICE: We can use these off the shelf components.

VOICE: I got these from Camper World. We run the whole thing with this game controller.

STU: Come on! Now we run it with a game controller, and it's not even the name brand. It's like a knock-off game controller. It is not even like the real PlayStation controller.

GLENN: Could we at least get one by Sony? Even if it's a Sony with two Y's or two N's. That would be Sunny, but it will be closer.

STU: Really, it was nuts to go down there in the first place. And they -- this CBS 60 Minutes report, they try it a bunch of times. They can't get it to work a bunch of times. They eventually do go down and come back up. It did happen. They were talking several of these times, they would lose contact underneath the water. They would be underneath for three hours. They would lose contact for two and a half of them.

GLENN: It looks dangerous enough. I don't need that stress.

STU: Yeah, and to see a boat.

GLENN: There's a lot of them up above.

STU: Lots of boats. Go anywhere near water, you're going to see them. And look, I understand.

GLENN: If you're signing that. If you're signing that kind of release, that he read at the beginning.

You know, they all knew. That doesn't lessen the pain. I can't imagine what horror they went through.

STU: I don't even want to think about that.

GLENN: I don't want to think about that.

STU: You saw the inside and how they were sitting. You can't even stretch your legs. You're in this little tiny cylinder. Just being down there for hours and hours on end, would be really tough to deal with, then knowing all this is happening. It's a terrible story. Of course, CNN is exploiting it for every single advertiser dollar. You know, they're doing everything they can here to talk about it constantly.

GLENN: It's crazy.

STU: It's really dark.

GLENN: Hey, there's a couple of things I want to discuss. One is, you know, I've said, we just need to look at things and say, hmm. I'm excited to see how that works out.

You know, if I would have seen that clip before they went down, I probably would have said, hmm.

That's going to be exciting to see how that works out with that game controller. Here's one. Toronto, the Casey house is a specialty restaurant now with swanky multi-course dinners, and specialty cocktails. And all of the food, everything is prepared by people living with HIV.

Now, I mean, unless they're bleeding on the food, which I don't think is happening.

STU: Right.

GLENN: But I don't know. It doesn't seem like something, you know, that you -- would be a big selling point. You know what I mean?

Hey, your chef has HIV. Okay. I'm cool with that. He hasn't chopped a finger, has he?

You, but that's your -- that's your -- I mean, that's like, hey. Everybody in the kitchen has HIV. No.

I -- keep that to yourself.

STU: Right. Really any disease. You don't have to tell me about the diseases of anybody preparing my food. Please don't. Please don't.

GLENN: Yeah. Oh, man. Everybody has the plague, but they're all in space suits in the kitchen.

Okay. Can you get somebody else?

STU: This seems like a concept that's unlikely to be franchised.

GLENN: Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how that works out. Because maybe it does.

STU: There you go.

GLENN: Let me take you one thing.

Last night, and you can watch it on YouTube.com at Glenn Beck. I think you have to have at Glenn Beck.

STU: YouTube.com/GlennBeck. Let's put it that way.

GLENN: Right.

STU: You weren't listening apparently to our long conversation about this, but if you do YouTube.com/GlennBeck, you should get there.

GLENN: I thought was listening to that. Anyway...

STU: That's what you always think. You always think you're listening, you just are not.

GLENN: What were you saying? Anyway, so go to YouTube. Watch last night's special. Our Wednesday night's special, it was very different for us. Stu and I were both on vacation.

And there's a lot of news, that, you know, we've been talking about all week. But I didn't know some of the other things that were happening. Because two weeks, no news. No news at all for me.

And wow, wow, just in two weeks. There were some things.

So we played, you know, two truths. One lie.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And I think I did pretty well.

STU: You did incredibly well. I will say, they gave me the list of things to read you to. The first one was not highlighted on which one was fake. And I didn't know half of them.

GLENN: It's weird. I know the writers. Our writers well enough to know.

And I also -- I was only surprised by the press. That was the only thing. They asked hard questions, apparently.

A couple of times. And I couldn't believe that.

STU: That couldn't be true. That would be the press doing their job. That was really your analysis on it.

GLENN: Right. There was one we didn't get to.

STU: Yeah. This was two truths and a lie over the past couple of weeks. The US has 12 or more alien spacecraft.

US officials suggest Extraterrestrial medicine may unlock the future of cancer treatment. And crashed Las Vegas UFO witness terrified by 8-foot creatures in his backyard. Quote, 100 percent not human.

Which one is fake of those three?

GLENN: I hope that one is fake. Because that's the least interesting of the other two.

I could see -- I mean, I just read some place, about how AI is going to attract aliens. And they'll be able to communicate with us now. Because they're so smart. And AI will be communicating. And so we will get a lot of our medicine. So that could be possible.

The one, I will go with one that I hope is not true. And that is the 8-foot alien, but I bet you it is.

STU: Crashed Las Vegas UFO witness was actually in reality, terrified by 8-foot creatures in his backyard, claiming they were 100 percent not human. That is a real story.

GLENN: And what were they? Do you know?

STU: I don't know. I don't know what they were.

GLENN: Well, no need. Hey, producers, no need. When we're talking about 8-foot aliens. Well, I don't need any more information on that.

STU: No more information. The US does, in fact, have 12 or more alien spacecraft, say military and intelligence contractors.

Now, I don't -- again, we haven't seen these, but this is what the officials are saying. Kind of crazy.

GLENN: Okay. You know what is crazy? You know, as big as Hunter Biden getting off, these are huge epic, never before happened, stories in America.

Donald Trump being indicted. Okay? Huge. The government coming out and saying it has 12 alien spaceships, I don't know. I think that ranks high enough to be something that you might hear talk of. You know what I mean?

STU: You think. But no. Didn't even infiltrate your vacation.

GLENN: What is it about the alien thing that you just don't care about?

STU: It does seem like they're preparing us for something. Doesn't it?

GLENN: It does, doesn't it?

STU: It does. By the way, seven of our last 11 presidents were alien.

GLENN: I would be relieved. I would be so relieved.

STU: Oh. We already kind of dealt with it then. Maybe we're okay.

GLENN: And I would be like, that makes sense. Thank you.

STU: No wonder they acted that way.

GLENN: Yes. That makes sense. They are aliens. Great, you can eat me now. I'm fine.

At least I can be eaten.

Not screaming -- like, what the hell is going on?

I will know. It's an alien. And I'm food to him.

STU: And unfortunately, the one thing that you would be excited about, that some extraterrestrial medicine that was curing cancer. That's the one that is not real.

So we got the aliens here. They're 8-foot. They're in your backyard. But they're not doing anything positive for us.

Don't worry.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

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

Transcript

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

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

It's going to change rapidly.

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

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

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

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

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

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

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

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

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

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

Okay?

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

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

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

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

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

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

Okay?

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

But it goes down.

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

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

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

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

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

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

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

Okay?

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

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

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

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

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

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

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

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

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

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

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

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

Okay.

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

Reasoning, creativity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

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

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

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

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

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

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

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

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

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

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

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

That's going for happen by December.

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

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

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

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

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

This is like an alien life form.

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

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

Okay?

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

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

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

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

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

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

We should act like it is terrifying.

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

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O'Reilly 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.
