THIS Stealth "REPUBLICAN" Move Could Give Democrats a HUGE Election Win

A stealthy ruling by a little-known court in Texas could hand the largest Republican state over to the Democrats in upcoming elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Glenn to expose the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which is supposedly made up of 9 "Republican" members. But it recently voted 8-1 to take a major power away from the Texas Attorney General that falls directly in line with the work of George Soros to "reform" state judicial systems. So, what gives? Paxton explains what this decision could lead to and what Texans can do to push back before it's too late.

GLENN: Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

KEN: I'm doing well, thanks for having me back.

GLENN: Yeah. We have so many things to talk about. But I think the most important thing that I want to get to first, is the Court of Criminal Appeals. Texas is a weirdo state. And most states, I think 40 -- 48 of them, don't have this.

It's -- it's like a Supreme Court, if I'm not mistaken, but what is it its jurisdiction?

What do they do exactly?

KEN: We are a little weird. I think there's only one other state like us. That has a bifurcated system. Where some of the kids employ to the Texas Supreme Court. All the civil cases. And if you have on your final appeal, for a criminal case, it's the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

It's split. And most Texans are not aware of this nine member court that is all Republican.

And most Republicans, even the most educated, don't know who is on that court.

GLENN: So this is becoming very, very important. And especially -- and you will know this in really deep red states. States like Utah.

Just because, it says Republican.

Does not mean they're not Republican. In Texas, a lot of times, Democrats just switch to Republican because they know they can get elected with an R behind their name.

And then you also have these horrible Republicans, who are, you know, Republican in name only, as we know it to be RINOs. And that's who is really on -- there's some that are good.

But there's a few of these guys on this court. And it is stopping the attorneys general office now, from prosecuting any kind of election fraud.

Which is a new thing, is it not, Ken?

KEN: Yeah. So this statute was passed by the legislature legally, under their Constitutional for the past legislation, and direct the attorneys general to do whatever they wanted to do, and they did that in 1951. We prosecuted literally.

We had almost a thousand cases being prosecuted when they struck this down two years ago.

It was suddenly struck down two years ago. Was suddenly struck down out of the blue.

And they made the argument that it was unconstitutional, violation of the separation of powers, because I'm the executive branch, for me, as attorney general to be in court.

It's their right -- every court prior to them.

Every case. Really, every attorney general of the country, is violating the Constitution.

And has since the founding of our country. If this nine member court, that voted eight-one, out of the blue, struck this law down.

GLENN: How did that happen?

KEN: I think, honestly, it's nine members. Nobody knows who they are.

We have one good one, Kevin Uri. And they waited until two days after the filing deadline, two years ago, to run against them. So we could not put up candidates, the last time.

So they got two year passes, the company forget about it.

They nominated to have me out. And because George Soros is put DAs in the liberal counties, I believe he is funding, along with a group called Texas for Lawsuit Reform, funding these candidates.

To ensure that we can't prosecute voter fraud in Texas.

GLENN: Okay. So there were -- there's a three-pronged approach going on here in Texas to turn Texas blue.

The first thing is George Soros coming in, and getting the DAs and all the big counties.

The second thing is get rid of our attorney general, and get somebody that won't fight back.

And the third thing is the Court of Appeals.

And I could -- I could probably flip those last two. And make the Court of Appeals. And then coming after you. And trying to get you out.

As the -- as the -- the final step.

They've already gotten out the first step done.

They have the Court of Appeals thousand.

They failed on getting rid of you. But if this doesn't change in the Court of Appeals, you can't bring up any fraud charges, for anything, this Houston, Dallas, or wherever it is.

But these main DAs are the only ones that can bring up fraud charges.

Well, if they're Soros people, that's not going to happen.

KEN: And they are Soros people.

I watched Soros unelect Democrats that were prosecuting all kinds of different crimes.

He came in, and put progressives in, who won't prosecute much of anything, including -- so they've got that in place. I believe right now, they have Court of Criminal Appeals in place, and they are coming after me again.

I have another trial, just like Trump in April. That has been sitting there for 9 years, in Court of Criminal Appeals, out of my home county.

Which is Republican, to Harris County, which is Democrat.

And the Democratic judges, all the way up, obviously, Democratic jury, and why did they do that?

Because after nine years, they decided they still needed to get rid of me. Because the impeachment didn't work. The election -- the attempted knocking me out in the election. And even having the federal government come after me, none of that has worked.

GLENN: It is amazing to me, this legal warfare. And I heard about this, maybe eight years ago. That they were starting to looking into ways to go against anybody who stands against them with the court system. And I thought, well, that's interest. But, you know, we have judges and we have juries and everything else.

It doesn't matter. If they pick the court, it doesn't matter.

KEN: That's exactly right. And think of for this. The criminal case. They moved me into Harris County, where my stances are much less at winning. And especially, if we have a democratic jury pool. And democratic whys. And then the Court of Criminal Appeals, has the final say.

I would say, my chances aren't very good.

I think they've done the same thing to Trump. They've put him in places like New York or Fulton county, where the process is slanted against you, heavily. And it's also obviously very expensive. Trump has resources that I obviously don't have.

That's the other thing, they try to drain you financially so you cannot run. And unfortunately, it's not just Democrats. This is the Karl Roves, you know, slash Bush wing of our party.

And it involved the Dick Weeklies of the world, the Texas Lawsuit Reform.

And other liberal groups that seem like they're Republican, but they're not -- they're not on our side.

GLENN: So the Texas for lawsuit reform, correct me if I'm wrong. Used to be, conservative.

It was a conservative group. But now the billionaires are involved, and Dick Weekley is one of them.

He's a construction guy, if I'm not mistaken.

And he and Karl Rove, and another guy, gosh, what's his name.

Dennis --

KEN: Calabrese.

GLENN: Calabrese. These three kind of really make the meat of the Texas lawsuit reform. One goes out, raises a lot of money.

A couple of them do actually. The other guy is the strategist.

And if I'm not mistaken, didn't Calabrese -- didn't he go -- he was part of the no bail action, wasn't he?

KEN: Yeah. So he was helping to work -- I think it was the trimming foundation.

Arnold's Foundation. Very progressive group on criminal matters. He was working with them, until he was accused of tax evasion.

Went to federal prison. But then he also was sued for taking some of their money. And there was a judgment against him, for I think eight and a half million dollars.

And then suddenly, that judgment gets paid and he's back with Dick Weekley, and Texas for Lawsuit Reform.

GLENN: Who paid that eight and a half million dollar judgment?

KEN: I have no idea.

GLENN: Maybe it was Hunter Biden's art friend.

KEN: You can guess.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. So he goes back to work, now he's for embezzlement. He's a criminal for embezzlement. He was part of the move to get all of these -- all of the bails dropped.

Why is a so-called conservative group and conservative like Dick Weekley. Why are they bringing him in?

KEN: Well, that's a good question. Except, if you look at where they're headed.

They've focused on taking out Republicans. They tend to fund now -- they'll refund Republicans.

But they'll give them so much money they're beholden to them. And they're not necessarily a conservative group anymore.

Their original purpose was to stop -- and now they've branched into all kinds of things. They're supporting -- they're putting millions of dollars behind the speaker, who is controlled by the Democrats.

And then they -- they give all of -- all of his people, you know, millions of dollars. And they control the Texas legislature. And it ends up not representing the voters.

Because now the voters, they don't even need their money. The House members don't even need their money.

So much of it is coming from Texas for lawsuit reform, and a group called ART, Associated Republicans of Texas, which Karl Rove is -- so they all work together.

GLENN: Karl Rove, we know him. Quite well.

He's -- all right. So who are the judges that are going up for election this year?

And this is going to be a tough up. Because nobody knows what the Court of Criminal Appeals is.

When you look at judges, you don't know -- you don't know how -- who these judges are. Nine out of ten times, and people will look, and they will go I don't know.

It's a Republican.

It's an independent. I don't know.

I'll vote for -- and you just guess. So you have three people coming up.

And Texans have got to know these names.

KEN: That's exactly right.

I think this is the most important election I've ever been involved in. Even in my election.

These three judges. We can't turn this court. We will not be able to prosecute border fraud. And we will be Georgia.

We will be Arizona.

We will be Wisconsin.

We will have the same result.

I was able to stop that with my great team last night.

But this is where we're headed in the next couple of years.

If no one cares about voter fraud, actually, gets to prosecute it.

So Gina Parker.

The three people we want to elect. Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck.

I'm going to repeat them one more time.

Gina Parker. David Schenck and Lee Finley. And it starts -- voting starts February 20th. This coming Tuesday. Early voting.

GLENN: Oh, jeez.

KEN: It's really critical, that people on your show, from Texas, spread the word.

And if you're not from Texas, realize, if we don't hold on to Texas. I mean, we are in trouble nationally. We can't win elections nationally.

GLENN: This is the number one thing that people say to me, you know, Glenn.

If we can't go after voter fraud.

If we can't clean it up. And I mean clean it up on our side, if there's any.

And their side.

Just fair voting.

If we can't prosecute this. If we can't go after it. Then we have no trust in the elections. And how do you have a republic?

Well, you don't. You don't.

In Texas, this is the solution to this.

If you can get three people. Gina Parker. Lee Finley. And David Schenck.

If you can get those three on to the board of criminal appeals, Court of Criminal Appeals, there's a chance that this thing could be overturned.

And the attorney general, didn't you have almost 400 cases, of voter fraud here in Texas, going on?

KEN: So we had over 600 counts that we were prosecuting, at the time they struck down.

All those got dismissed. We had a 392 investigation. Had to be halted because of this decision, out of the blue with no -- totally surprising us. So, no, we're not prosecuting. There's not a single case, in Texas, that is being prosecuted. Not a single voter fraud case by a single DA in this state. Maybe there's one. Maybe there's two. I can guarantee, you this is not being prosecuted in Texas anymore.

GLENN: God, it's bad. That's really bad. That's really bad.

KEN: So we can fix it.

If this election goes the right way, we'll still be down 5-4. But we'll be sending the message to the legislature, fix this. And the Court of Criminal Appeals will realize, we're coming to get the next one, if they don't fix this.

GLENN: Well, the same money behind these guys, if this is accurate, would be the people behind the Speaker of the House who is just a nightmare. A nightmare.

KEN: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. You will see money spent on these races for the first time, by the other side.

Because they know that we're getting the word out. So you'll see these TV ads, supporting these incumbent, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals judges. I've never seen money spent in these races. But we will see it.

And Texas for Lawsuit Reform. And other groups affiliated with them, are going to be involved.

GLENN: Stu, we need something like a jingle for Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck. We need something -- I don't know how.

I don't know how you make those names stick. We need a jingle that we can play every day.

KEN: I'll work on it.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. Good. You'll work on it. We'll work on it too, Ken.

I don't know how. As an audience, can somebody come up with something catchy that helps people remember. Because you have a week. You have a week to do this.

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’s SOLUTION to the DOJ’s Epstein Files fallout

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

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.
