"White Women for Kamala" Zoom Call Takes a RACIST Turn

A Zoom gathering called "White Women for Kamala" apparently broke the app. Nearly 170,000 people, including celebrities like P!nk and Megan Rapinoe, reportedly gathered to discuss the best ways for white women to support VP Kamala Harris' 2024 presidential campaign. But things quickly went beyond "cringe." Comedian Bridget Phetasy, herself a white woman, joins Glenn to explain why the entire premise of the call is rooted in racism: "It is actually white supremacy. You have to believe you are better than everyone else and that it is up to you to lift up all these poor people who can't help themselves and speak to everybody like toddlers...it's insanity!"

GLENN: All right. Let me see. I want to play a couple of things, here. Just a couple of pieces of audio, that I don't know. I'm a little uncomfortable with.

Here's white women for Kamala. Cut one, about women's privilege.

VOICE: White women. I mean, here we are. I have to admit when I was writing stuff down. It was like, parents for Kamala. I don't know. Why is it so difficult, as Glenn was saying, to acknowledge and address ourselves as white women?

But here we are. And I am so proud for all of us to be together, as women, as white women. We are the ones that have the privilege, of course. And we too have had to fight and continue to fight for equality, our self hood, our freedom.

But we have whatever privileges are male -- white male counterparts, and have the good sense to bestow upon us. And then whatever else it is we have managed to take for ourselves, often being led by as many have said earlier tonight.

The leadership of our sisters of color, who have fought and fought and continue to fight, for their righteous place on God's green earth.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Yeah. So white women have the privilege. They're now apparently, the -- the ruling class, I think. I think that's what she was saying.

And they wanted to make it very clear, when they started this Zoom call. One of the influencers, really wanted to make sure that nobody makes any mistakes on this phone call. Cut four.

VOICE: I'm going to share some do's and don'ts for getting involved in politics online. Don't make it about yourself. As white women, we need to use our privilege, to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or speaking for BIPOC individuals. Or God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat. And instead, we can put our listening ears on. So do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for a systemic change. As white people, we have a lot to learn, and unlearn. So do check your blind spots.

GLENN: Uh-huh. Okay. All right.

Well, let's -- let's bring on Bridget Phetasy. And please, please, check your blind spot, Bridget, if you will. Please.

BRIDGET: Please acknowledge that I'm the most powerful person on this call right now.

GLENN: Yeah, you are. You have all the white woman privilege. And you're -- you really are going to be the one that turns this whole thing around. You white women.

BRIDGET: Glenn, do you understand that it's up to me and my people, to save the world.

Literally, save the world.

It is up to us, if we don't get it together, the world will end.

GLENN: Yes. Yeah.

They said that. I know you know that. They said that yesterday. That it's up to white women. Oh, my gosh.

Do women -- I mean, are there a lot of women, that think this way? That are like, you know, fine with, I just have -- I have so much to learn. And so little to say, and so much to unlearn.

But I'm the most powerful person here. What are you talking about?

Oh, my gosh.

BRIDGET: Right. It's such a weird humble brag in a strange way. It's like at the same time you're saying, you are -- you know, I was saying this yesterday, to you, actually.

In talking to my friends about this. You have to have the worldview. You have to start with the premise, that it's -- it's actually white supremacy. You have to believe you are better than everyone else.

And that it is up to you, to lift up all of these people, these poor people, who can't help themselves, and speak to everybody like they're toddlers. We need to put our listening ears on. And talk to all --

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

BRIDGET: It's insanity. But I do think it's a way for people -- I mean, what is more important, than saving the world, while also somehow humbling yourself and recognizing your privilege?

It is -- it's still all ego. It's so gross!

It's so gross!

GLENN: Is this --

BRIDGET: I have strong feelings about this.

GLENN: Is this popular? Is this going to, Bridget?

BRIDGET: I mean, I don't know. It's weird. Just, I went off line for a couple of days, just to take a break. And I came online, and it was like 2016 with flavors of 2020 all over again. And this didn't -- it didn't work in 2016. You know, all of this -- like, I feel like, oh, we're just going to run a very unlikable politician, that people have openly said that they don't like. We're going to AstroTurf the entire media with, oh, look at how cool this person is, with celebrities and white dudes for Harris, and white women for Kamala. Weird, weird Zoom calls.

We are going to make it seem like it's all very popular. Except, it's not.

And then they will be out marching in their -- in their little pink hats. You know, the day after the election. You know, I don't think.

This feels like, it feels like -- I don't know. It feels manufactured to me. All of it.

GLENN: Okay. So let me ask you this.

You heard that everybody is now calling Trump and J.D. Vance weird.

And I think it's weird, that everybody started saying it, at the same time.

And I think, Bridget, that this is the new strategy where he was a danger to the republic. People are so sick and tired of hearing all of this.

And they just want somebody just to be normal with them. And so I think it's a way to have, you know, Donald Trump or whoever say, the woman is a socialist.

And then they go, you know, they're just weird. They're just weird.

I mean, I'm more like you. We're just laughing it off. That seems to me, to be a dangerous strategy, for the right.

BRIDGET: It's very dangerous. I'm -- I'm obsessed with this weird thing.

This morning, I was going down all these rabbit holes, for numerous reasons. One was clearly, the memo went out. And this is blatant AstroTurfing. Then there's this strange weaponization of the word weird by a party that has generally, that has been cool coated. It has been Lady Gaga was weird.

And her little monsters. And this was something that was always very left-wing dominated. We're going to make weird cool.

So they were the ones who said, no.

You can't use weird.

But then there was all this language of ableism that came out. And you couldn't say crazy. And you couldn't say insane.

And I was looking at all the list this morning. And it's weird, it's either been retroactively removed, which I wouldn't be surprised by. But it might have been the one word, like, hey. What can we call him that we won't get yelled at for?

And weird isn't on any of these lists, strangely. And as I'm talking to my editor at the spectator about -- we were texting. And he was saying, to win the general, you have to seem normal. And it's whoever is normal, and now they've made weird, this, you know, this step to creepy.

Like one step away from creepy. But I don't know if you should be doing it, if you have guys like Sam Brinton. And Rachel Levine on your side.

You can't. That seems like a bad idea for the left, to make weird one step away from creepy. Because they have way more weird people, that represent them.

Than I would say, the mainstream right-wing.

GLENN: If I may, however, you know, it's always the happy warrior, that America wants to be with.

And so if they are -- if they are seen as almost mocking themselves. You know, Karens for Kamala. And they're not taking themselves so seriously. Even though, on the call, they took themselves like God-like seriously.

And they're calling them weird.

And then you say, really? That's weird?

How about the dude that is stealing women's suitcases that you had watching over our nukes?

And then they -- their response is, see, I mean, you're just bigoted and hatred. Full of hatred. I mean, you're weird. But you're also bigoted.

And we just have -- I keep coming back to what she said, at the very end of that phone call. With Barack and Michelle.

Or big Mike.

She said, and we're going to have a lot of fun with this, aren't we?

And it was so fake. But I think that's what they're going for. Just laugh their way through this.

It will just be fun. We'll just have fun.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I think they realized a couple of things. Which is -- it's smart of them to course correct.

They seem to have leaned back into, okay. America isn't horrible, like we have we've been saying, and preaching, and academia. And we will reembrace the American flag.

They seem to have been saying, like, they realized, you know, the -- the RNC, for whatever Idiocracy, it might have seemed like, it was fun.

It was like people having fun. And I was saying this on Twitter. They're like, oh, look. What they're projecting.

They're projecting fun. This thing that Americans like to have. And generally have. And I think that they're realizing, they're not seen as the fun party.

They're seen as the scold now.

And the -- the authoritarians who are checking everyone's language.

And so I don't know. It's -- they're not going to believe -- that's not. You can't be. You can't say this is a weird paradox. You can't say this is the end of democracy.

And, oh, look how weird J.D. Vance is. That doesn't -- that doesn't carry this -- they're trying to walk this tightrope. And I don't think they'll be able to do it.

You can't be calling everybody bigoted. And racist.

And that this is a fascist takeover of America. And then be like, look at how weird he is. Yucka, yucka, yucka, it's not -- it's like weird. It's -- that's weird.

GLENN: Yes. It is -- it is awfully strange.

However, it might work, for a limited time. You know, that was the thing that I think the G.O.P. had going for, this year.

Was, it was full of joy. And it was fun.

And, you know, it was like a respite from the end of the world.

And it was still serious, had its serious moments when it needed to be. But it was fun. And I think that's what gave the wind in the sails of the Republicans in Donald Trump.

And I think that's what they're going for. I could be wrong. I want to hold for one minute, if you will, Bridget.

I want to ask you how would you -- if you're Donald Trump. How would you handle Kamala Harris. What would you do in a debate?

What would your strategy be? We'll go back to Bridget Phetasy in just a second. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

Jeffrey wrote in about his experience with Relief Factor. He said, I just wanted to send a message of thanks. I am free of pain in my knee and lower back. Which means I can keep my auto detailing business going. And let me tell you, it was touch and go trial.

Now I'm back. Riding my motorcycle. At 71. Thank you, Relief Factor. Jeffrey, I'm glad you got your life back. And I love to hear that you're working hard and in business and having fun. I have experienced the same kind of stuff. And Relief Factor has helped me in -- I mean, saved my hands. Saved my ability to write and paint and everything else.

Relief Factor is 100 percent drug-free daily supplement that helps your body fight pain naturally.

Developed by doctors. It uses a unique formula of natural ingredients. That addresses the inflammation in our body, where pain starts. Go to ReliefFactor.com. Or call 800-4-Relief.

(music)
Bridget Phetasy is the spectator contributing editor and columnist. She's the host of walk-ins welcome. And the host of the weekly Dumpster fire, which I absolutely love.

I was on her show yesterday. And we were talking. And it was -- it was an odd -- it was a very odd interview. I was in a weird space with you, yesterday, Bridget.
(laughter)

BRIDGET: It was so fun. I still love talking to you.

GLENN: Did you?

Yeah. Was it -- at you release this already?

BRIDGET: No. No. No.

GLENN: It wasn't odd. Just spilling into people's houses.

BRIDGET: No. I would definitely let you know, if you were going live. No. It will be cleaned up.

And, yeah. I thought -- I thought it was great.

GLENN: Oh, wow. Yeah. I really enjoyed it.

I always enjoy you.

Anyway, Bridget, tell me about -- you know, Donald Trump has to switch, fighting strategies. Because she's a different fighter than -- than Joe Biden.

So he's got to come to a whole new world. What would your approach be, or recommendation on debating her and taking her on?

BRIDGET: Gosh, I'm not. Some brilliant adviser to the people.

But I --

GLENN: No. But you're a white woman. And you have all the power in the world.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I'm obviously the most knowledgeable person on this call. As we mentioned.

I just want to -- put your listening ears Donald Trump.
(laughter)

Maybe you should talk to her like she's a toddler.

I don't know.

I think -- you know, they get away with not having to focus a lot on stuff that she -- she is basically now saying, oh, I lied about everything I said if 2020.

You know, now it's like, all of -- she's totally pivoting. I think you call her out on that constantly. And try to nail her down on what she actually believes.

Because I don't -- does anyone really know? It seems like she was quite radical.

I believe she's -- you know, she's from California. So I know what they've done to that.

GLENN: She's from -- she's from Berkeley, and her mom and dad were both Berkeley professors. So she's not just from California.

She's not the average Californian. She is way off the deep end.

BRIDGET: She's from Commie-fornia.

GLENN: Yeah. So she was -- she was saying the other day that -- and the press was helping her. That Donald Trump was accusing her of -- of having these certain viewpoints. What was it, Stu? They said that she was being accused of? And it was her stated policy.

STU: Oh, being -- she was accused of wanting to ban fracking.

BRIDGET: Oh, yeah.

STU: She said multiple times on debate stages over and over again.

GLENN: Right. But that was Donald Trump accusing her. Go ahead.

BRIDGET: Yeah. I love when the right-wing pounces on things that have been spoken in direct quotes by that person.

GLENN: Yeah.

BRIDGET: There is --

GLENN: I mean, it's just --

BRIDGET: I also think the right-wing needs to stay away from, you know, the commentary, the commentators, the childless thing. There's a lot of women who wanted to have kids, who couldn't. I think there are a lot of independent women who have been pushed -- you know, there is literally men boxing women right now. Men boxing women.

And you're calling other people weird? People who support this?

Like, focus on the erosion of women's rights on -- on the left in policy.

It's not just -- I think you have to stay away from the like -- all that childless stuff.

That's not good. That's not helpful. It turns people off. It turns people away.

He's got to pivot. He has to kind of get some substance from that.

I actually think he's really smart, and even if a lot of the right-wing doesn't agree. And even moderate on abortion. He was kind of doing the right thing to win a general election.

And now he's going to have to really -- he's going to have to step it up. But I really think all you have to do is keep forcing her to reiterate what she believes.

GLENN: Well, she likes. She believes in Venn diagrams. And she likes yellow school buses. But who doesn't? Bridget Phetasy. Thank you so much.

Host of walk-ins welcome. You can find her podcast, every day.

Bridget Phetasy. Thank you so much, Bridget. I appreciate it.

BRIDGET: Thank you for having me. Bye, Stu.

GLENN: God bless. Goodbye.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

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

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

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

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

It's going to change rapidly.

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

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

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

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

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

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

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

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

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

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

Okay?

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

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

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

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

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

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

Okay?

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

But it goes down.

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

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

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

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

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

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

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

Okay?

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

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

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

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

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

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

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

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

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

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

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

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

Okay.

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

Reasoning, creativity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

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

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

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

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

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

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

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

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

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

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

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

That's going for happen by December.

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

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

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

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

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

This is like an alien life form.

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

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

Okay?

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

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

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

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

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

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

We should act like it is terrifying.

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

I think! In my opinion.

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

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

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program, sir! How are you?

BILL: Welcome. (inaudible)

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: I get it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: Wow!

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

BILL: Probably my fault, but the president --

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

BILL: And I don't either.

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

BILL: It's ridiculous.

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

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

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

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

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

No cabinet member does.

All the decisions come out of the West Wing.

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

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

GLENN: I believe that.

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

But this is the easiest fix. Somewhere so easy.

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

GLENN: Right. Oh, I know.

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

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

GLENN: That's every day.

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

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

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

GLENN: Not going to happen.

BILL: That's it!

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

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

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

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

GLENN: So here's the thing, Bill.

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

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

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

It's all about credibility and justice.

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

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

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

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

But he did campaign on it.

BILL: Right.

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

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

GLENN: Oh, I know.

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

A guy like Donald Trump runs it all.

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

GLENN: Oh, I know.

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

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

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

And vice-versa.

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

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

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

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

The FISA court.

The fact that they're now saying, hey.

You know, we need to hold Brennan accountable.

We're like five or six days away.

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

I mean, all these things are out today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

And they knew the Russia dossier was phony.

And they did it anyway.

If I have that Justice Department.

Then you can get those guys.

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

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

How do we not have that Justice Department?

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

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

I want those two men indicted.

You can't do that, at that level.

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

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

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

GLENN: Right.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trying to cut waste.

Dealing with Iran effectively. And hopefully dealing with Putin.

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

He has to deal with Putin now.

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

GLENN: How is he going to deal with it?

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

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

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

Okay?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GLENN: I know. It's crazy.

BILL: What in the world.

GLENN: I was wrong about you being dead.

BILL: What is happening?

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

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

GLENN: Okay. I love you.

BILL: Stu is still breathing.

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: So that's good. Right.

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

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