Why sending MORE money to Ukraine could end in DISASTER

The far-left and the Biden Administration are DESTROYING America’s money supply. Not only are they blindly transforming our energy supplies, handing out government subsidies like candy, and encouraging other world governments to do the same, but we also continue to send millions of U.S. dollars to Ukraine. ‘We’re hemorrhaging money,’ Glenn says, and it’s only getting worse. Now, President Biden says we are helping to pay pensions in Ukraine too. But what about the social security mess in our own country? So, what ARE they doing?! In this clip, Glenn explains why America’s financial situation is DIRE and why, if we continue to funnel even more money into Ukraine, it could end in disaster…

GLENN: I want to just talk to you a little bit about something that is extremely concerning to me today.

And that is this -- I'm just going to say it this way. This coming war with Russia, and now possibly China.

We are setting the world up, and we are on the wrong side.

The right side is settle this.

Let's have peace.

The -- the -- what happened in World War I is happening again.

You have the elites who want to redesign the world. And they're going to do it, one way or another. They think war is the way to solve this problem, to get away with all of the big changes they need to make.

And it is rapidly coming upon us. And at the same time, we are bleeding out on a table. And it's intentionally -- it's intentional, that all of this stuff is happening. It's not paper cuts anymore.

We are severing arteries. And we are bleeding out on the table.

Let me take just one thing.

Somebody called out last hour. And they were in Kansas. And they said, Kansas farmers are selling their farmland for solar panels, and these companies are coming in.

Okay. Solar panels are great. But you would have to take almost all of the land from Maine to Florida, all the way over to probably the Missouri.

To ever to be able to have enough solar panels to be able to power the United States of America.

So solar panels are not the way. Maybe they play a role. But they're not the way. And so they're selling our farmland, to have solar panels.

Meanwhile, that means, we're paying our farmers not to farm.

I'm sure there are government subsidies that go with this, if you have solar panels, on your farm.

Meanwhile, because there's a lack of food, we're now announced on Friday, by the president, paying for food subsidies, all over the globe.

We're also paying coal fire plants, to not create energy. If you have a coal fire plant, I want you to see if it has plans on shutting down.

And why is it shutting down. And what are they planning on doing with the coal-fired plant?

Hmm. So they're shutting down coal-fired plants. We're paying them, not to create energy.

Okay. But we're also doing this, all across the globe, with USAID. We're paying people, to shut down their power plants. Although, we have -- we know, because of AI.

We know, we're going to have a much bigger demand for electricity, than even today, in the short horizon.

But we're shutting things down, because we're creating a new world. Well, what are we creating it with?

Well, we've got the solar panels. And we've got some experimental things, which we are paying for.

Government is subsidizing all of this stuff.

And then if you'll put any of that experimental stuff in your house, they're paying for that. So they're paying for the creation, and we're paying for the buying of that creation.

And we'll pay you, with your house, to change to electricity, from things that already cost you less money, like natural gas. When we know, we're not going to have the electricity. We're paying you.

And then, we're paying you to buy a car, that's an EV. We'll give you an 8,000-dollar bonus.

We'll give you $8,000 to do an out of tax money. The government is subsidizing buying these electric cars.

At the same time, they are paying for all of the charging stations, all across America.

Does this sound at all, like an idea, that will work?

When we are hemorrhaging money?

It doesn't sound like it to me. Let's go to Brian in Ohio. Hello, Brian.

Brian, are you there?

CALLER: Yeah. I am. Thanks for taking my call. Thanks for taking my call. And I've listened to you for a long time. And I have the same beliefs that you do.

One of my concerns are that both me and my wife, we have worked for a long time. We have been married for 35 years.

We've paid into Social Security, and over the past several years, we probably put 15 to 20 grand into Social Security. Plus, what we've put into 401(k). And my biggest concern is, the fact that, you know, it's a slush fund for them to send to Ukraine.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

CALLER: Am I going to get that back?

GLENN: No.

CALLER: And I -- and that's our concern. Because that's a lot of money. That we --

GLENN: Put away.

CALLER: That we have taken out of our taxes. And that we deserve to have -- you know, to pay for our retirement. Which we would have rather been put into our 401(k). Not that we're -- you know, we've done a very good job of, you know, saving and doing whatever.

But that's a lot of money.

GLENN: It's a ton of money, Brian.

But when -- how old are you, may I ask?

CALLER: Fifty-five, one, 56.

GLENN: So we're in the same area. I'm 59.

CALLER: Yeah.

GLENN: I knew the chances -- the odds of getting Social Security were very, very slim. So I haven't bet on it. But I am in a different position than most people.

CALLER: Yeah.

GLENN: And those that have to rely on it, we're entering a time, to Stu, we were just talking off the air about Social Security.

It's worse off than you think it is. But yet, Biden is sending all this money. They are going to be paying for their retirement packages. Their funds in Ukraine.

Out of our money. While our Social Security is -- is collapsing.

This has got to be put on the plate, with the House and the Senate.

People have got to respond to this. And stand up. And say, stop spending all this money in Ukraine.

We are going bankrupt quickly. And it doesn't matter, they will just print more. And that will -- we know the results of this. We're in a death spiral, if we don't have Congress stand up and stop it, right now.

STU: Yeah. I mean, this latest report that came out from the CBO, is stunning. It's stunning how fast this is going out of control.

If you go back to the Obama administration. Coming out of the financial crisis.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Right?

So 2009, worst year. $1.4 trillion deficit. Really big. Now, of course, after that -- the financial crisis starts to fade.

Those deficits come down quite a bit, as he goes on in his administration. But $1.4 trillion was in that first year, a real catastrophe.

GLENN: And almost a trillion of it, three-quarters of a trillion, that was just in the bank bailout.

STU: There's all sorts of -- all those bills made it much, much worse.

It did eventually come down. That $1.4 trillion number. That was catastrophic. That was catastrophic.

In that time, right after -- right during the financial crisis. What is our budget deficit this year, when we don't have any of that going on? Right?

We passed COVID. We're beyond that now. Not talking about COVID. Because obviously COVID is a totally different thing. We're past that right now.

What is our budget deficit supposed to be this year?

The exact same amount. $1.4 trillion. The same number as the financial crisis number. And that is the best year in the next ten years of projections that they released. Our best outcome, 1.4 trillion-dollar deficit. It goes 1.4 to 1.5.

All the way down to $2.9 trillion. That's our projections right now. Just --

GLENN: And projections are always wrong.

STU: Always wrong.

This is the CBO. By the way, I should point out, in that projection, they say that the Inflation Reduction Act will help us. Will lower the deficit, that's their projection.

GLENN: They're always wrong.

STU: So obviously that's completely ridiculous.

Just since Biden has been in office, he has added 6 trillion dollars. $6 trillion.

To the -- to the debt. Just since he's come in with the stuff that he's passed.

That's not like, okay. Well, COVID spending from Trump. Or -- you know, preexisting programs or any of that.

This is just what the differences are from their own CBO. From when Biden comes into office, and now.

$6 trillion. And one more on this, Glenn. The $1.4 trillion number I was talking about. The worst-case scenario for Biden.

Or excuse me, for Obama, when he came in. Now is our current deficit. That goes up to $3 trillion. By the time that hits $3 trillion. 1.2 trillion of that, will just be interest.

Impossible to change, and at the whim of interest rates.

The entire budget deficit from the economic collapse of 2008, 2009, is just going to be interest at the end of the day.

GLENN: This is why I'm telling you, they are marching toward war.

They are marching toward war.

Because it will -- they will have to reset the entire global economic system, and they'll have to just wipe out debt. That's -- that's what will happen.

Except, we're going to be in the position of Germany in the end. The world is going to say, it was your fault. Not on war. But on everything.

Because we've already said that to them, for the last 20 years. Every ill comes from the United States.

So we will be the ones, paying reparations. It -- we -- we have got to stop this quick march to war. You need to be on the phone, with your senators. And with the House, and saying, stop the spending in Ukraine.

Enough is enough.

The president is over in Ukraine, today.

We just had Kamala Harris say this. Now, this is -- think of -- think of all the times, that we could say, that China has committed crimes against humanity.

We know they killed millions of people, and we never said anything.

We know what they're doing with the Uighurs. We have footage of it. We have evidence of what they're doing in these camps. Crimes against humanity, with China.

We say nothing.

Here's our vice president, making an official declaration, in Germany, this weekend.

VOICE: The United States has formerly determined, that Russia has committed crimes against humanity. And I say, to all of those who have perpetrated these crimes, and to their superiors who are complicit in these crimes, you will be held to account.

In the face of these indisputable facts, to all of us here in Munich. Let us renew our commitment to accountability.

GLENN: Stop. Oh, my gosh.

Do you notice every time she opens her mouth, her lips -- her mouth is really dry, and you can hear it? Never noticed that with her before.

She knows the gravity of this statement.

What did she just say?

Russians committed crimes against humanity.

We tie all of those crimes.

I can guarantee you, to Vladimir Putin.

We would never say this about China.

We're just saying it now about Russia.

And, by the way, the Russians have said, you send over a single western airplane, that's the last straw. That's the last straw.

China is now siding and sending all kinds of stuff up to Russia, for Ukraine. And we had the balls to look at them this weekend, and say, don't you do it.

That's a line you don't want to cross.

We're now threatening China as well?

Today, you need to get on the phones, and you need to burn those phone lines down.

You need to get on the phones, to anyone in Washington, and let your voice be heard.

I will not send my son or daughter, to fight in any war.

Under this administration. Or for -- against Russia and China. Stop it.

Those funds need to stop. They got to come here, to the United States. He should not be in Kyiv today. The president should be in Palestina, Ohio.

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.
