Will Trudeau’s emergency powers stay FOREVER in Canada?

Ever since the ‘Freedom Convoy’ began in Canada earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has relied on his ‘emergency powers’ to not only squash the truckers’ ability to protest, but to withhold their financial freedom too. So, now that police mostly have cleared Ottawa, will Trudeau’s emergency powers be a thing of the past? Not necessarily. Glenn details the latest in this clip...

GLENN: Hello, America. It's the Glenn Beck Program. What really happened in Canada yesterday?

Did parliament actually vote to extend these emergency powers as Draconian as they are?

Yes. And a big no.

I'll explain in 60 seconds. The way they're hiding stuff from people is unbelievable, just to throw you off the track. Relief Factor is our sponsor this half-hour. When you're living your life in a lot of pain. It can be easy to give up hope. Don't. Don't.

There is an answer out there for you.

I know how it goes. I've been there. I was in massive pain. It's one of the reasons why I moved to Dallas. To get away from the cold. Boy, that was stupid. Did you hear we have snow coming tomorrow?

STU: What is happening?

GLENN: Global warming.

STU: I know. Give me more of it.

GLENN: I hear from people all the time. We're in the same boat that I was in.

Living in pain. Relief Factor was created by doctors to help your body reduce inflammation. And that is the key. And they have four different ways to attack it. Four different ingredients.

Each work together, with your body, as it fights against the effects of aging and exercise and daily living. So three-week Quick Start. Try it. 19.95. It's a trial pack. 70 percent of the people who go on to order it, order more.

Try it. ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com. Or 800-4-Relief. Relief Factor, feel the difference.

I feel like every day, I should start with this. Every hour should start with this. The government's new directive in Canada, called the emergency economic measures order, goes beyond asking banks to simply stop transferring funds to protest organizers.

The government says, banks need to stop doing business with some people altogether. The order says, that banks and other financial entities, like credit unions, co-ops, loan companies, trusts, cryptocurrency platforms, and insurance companies, must stop providing any financial or related service, to people associated with the protests.

A move, that will result in frozen accounts, stranded money. And canceled credit cards.

They're also ordering the insurance company, to suspend policies on any vehicles, that are part of an unlawful public assembly. The financial institutions, can't handle cash. Issue a loan. Extend a mortgage. Or facilitate any transaction of a designated person. While the emergencies act is in place.

Yesterday, they voted in parliament, to keep it in place.

Now, that's what you will hear.

And you will go, wait a minute. So are Canadians, really for this? Is that who Canadians really are?

No.

Trudeau did not have the votes, to get this extended.

So he played a little political game.

He said, well, if you're not going to support this. And -- and help me, keep this emergency measures order, which will put these people, in their place.

I'll view that as a vote of no confidence.

And I'll quit.

Oh. No. Who is going to take their toys and go home?

Now, what does that mean, I mean, here in America.

STU: I mean, this sounds kind of good. It sounds kind of wonderful, actually.

Yes, you should quit.

GLENN: Unless. Unless you're in front of a parliamentary system. And you're a liberal.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Now, imagine we were under a parliamentary system. And Joe Biden was like -- and we interpreted that as, I'm going to quit.

If we had a parliamentary system, that would trigger elections, immediately.

STU: Elections. So if you're in power in Canada. You're not in a position right in Canada, to want new elections.

GLENN: You're going to lose everything.

Imagine elections today. I don't think -- Joe Biden could say. And we would interpret that as, I'm going to nuke Kansas.

And the left would say, we're okay with that. We're okay. We're okay.

STU: They would be.

GLENN: They probably would be.

GLENN: Texas. For sure.

STU: But like, right now. If Joe Biden were like, I'm going to launch snap elections, the left would obviously get slaughtered in those elections.

GLENN: Slaughtered. So that's what happened.

So then a conservative said, after they voted for -- against the no-confidence vote. And you can have your toys, and you just stay with us.

Because if you don't stay with us, we're all going to go buh-bye too. Because we're going to be forced to.

What happened?

A conservative stood up and said, because Trudeau does not have the numbers to continue this emergency order.

And so someone -- a conservative stood up and said, I would like to move, that we vote on those two separately. We have the no-confidence vote. And now let's vote on -- and gosh darn it, they were all out of time this week.

STU: They wanted to do it.

GLENN: They wanted to do it. The Speaker was like, oh, shoot! All of you on time.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And so they couldn't -- they couldn't do that. So that means, it is still in a state of emergency.

I'm telling you, this is going to go on, until they have made it impossible to dig it out.

They are making all of these financial rules, permanent.

In Canada. Here's Trudeau yesterday.

VOICE: The emergencies act is not something to undertake lightly.

And it's something that needs to be momentary, temporary, and proportional. That's why every single day I'm receiving briefings. And we are reflecting on how much longer the emergencies act needs to be in place. We don't want to keep it in place, a single day longer than necessary.

GLENN: No. Of course not.

VOICE: But even though the blockades are lifted, across borders right now. Even though, things to be resolving very well in Ottawa. This state of emergency, is not over.

There continues to be real concerns about the coming days.

But we will continue to evaluate every single day.

Whether or not it is time and we are able to lift this state of mammalian.

GLENN: That is great.

That is exactly the way Hitler took power.

STU: The enabling it?

Yeah. Sure.

GLENN: He went and he killed a bunch of SS. I'm sorry. SA people. These were the brown shirts. They were on his side.

He said, they were just getting out of control.

And there were plots against the regime.

And I know I violated the Constitution. But I have to do it. I had to do it. And I would do it again.

So arrest me, and kick me out as chancellor. But I did the right thing for the republic. And gosh darn it, guess who embraced him?

The German people. You know, he did kill his own people. And we've been crying out for somebody to kill those people, or take them off the streets. So he can't be that bad a guy. Sure, he violated the constitution. Let's not worry about it this time.

And there was an emergency powers act, that had to be enacted because you never know when the bad guys are coming.

STU: I thought, we had all decided the enabling act was bad.

GLENN: You think?

STU: I thought we were like, let's not enable the leader of a country to kind of do whatever they want and call it an emergency that extends forever. Kind of thought we were in agreement on that. Apparently not.

GLENN: Well, not for good reasons.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Okay. If the leader has good reasons, you know, like fear. Then it's okay.

STU: What are they going to do?

Let's remember what we're talking about here.

A bunch of people in trucks, parked for a couple of weeks. What happens if there's an actual crisis?

GLENN: Well, there was one. There was one in Vancouver. Or in the -- in British Columbia, where 20 eco terrorists took over, threatened lives. Put four people in jeopardy. Because they were shooting some sort of tear gas.

STU: Flares.

GLENN: Yeah. Flares into cars, where people were. They didn't do anything about that. That's fine.

STU: But I'm not saying that -- I'll throw -- I'll just throw one out. You're looking for a specific, that I can't give you. So I'll just give you a generalized possibility.

Like, what happens if a giant World War were to break out in the next couple of weeks?

In that outlying possibility, how do these governments react? Let me put it another way.

Start here. We know that Russia has gone into two regions of Ukraine. Okay?

This is something that we said was a red line. And obviously is no longer a red line. They've done this. Let's just say, they continue to go through Ukraine. What are the odds of that?

Seeming, at this point, pretty high, right? They go to continue and go for all of Ukraine. It's not zero percent. It's not 100.

GLENN: No, it's probably 30 percent.

STU: Yeah. That strikes me as about correct.

GLENN: It could be 70.

STU: It could be 70. But they definitely seem like they are doing something.

GLENN: They will at some point. They will at some point.

STU: Basically, telling everybody.

That speech they went through -- it's always been ours. So we're not taking it. Because it's not a country. Right?

We're not invading a country, because it's just our country.

GLENN: Yes. Yes.

STU: You know, so they decided to go for all of Ukraine. Somewhere between 30 and 70 percent.

So what happened -- what are the odds of this spiraling out of control?

Right across, you've got Poland, Lithuania. You have all these places that are NATO countries.

GLENN: They just went in.

STU: Yeah, they go for the whole thing, and then, let's say, spills over. Maybe they continue to go. Maybe a couple of soldiers decide to fire rockets, and start a wider conflict.

And if that happens, then we're pulled into a war with Russia. That's only a couple of believable steps away from where we are right now.

GLENN: Okay. So I don't think we're going to be pulled in. No troops will be pulled in. We don't need those anymore.

Vladimir Putin was right, when he said about three years ago, we're already in World War III. You people -- meaning us, just haven't woken up to it.

Your leaders keep denying it. But World War III is going to be fought with ones and zeros.

So when we -- for instance, the pipeline could trigger this. And journal any just pulled the pipeline off.

That's going to mean prices for heating. And natural gas. Going to go through the roof.

In Europe. Putin responded this morning, with, well, there's $2,000 a month, for your energy per household. That will just cripple Europe.

So that may just soften everybody up, and go. Just let them have it. Just let them have it.

I don't know.

The other thing is -- and this may have targeted this.

If we do this to them, I know, if Joe Biden is serious about these financial restrictions, that will mean that Putin will take on, in my opinion, the ones and zeros campaign. And he will target our financial institutions.

He could go after our -- our -- you know, electrical grid, whatever.

But if he goes after our financial institutions, The Great Reset, will immediately be triggered. Guarantee it.

Because that's what they're looking for. That's what they're expecting. In December, they did a war game.

Where a country, like Russia, targeted our financial -- the Western financial markets. And it started to take it down.

What did we do?

They had to trigger The Great Reset immediately, take everybody who was saying, hey. This is a real problem.

And here's what they're really doing. And we have to really -- that's what they're planning on doing. Take them off the air. Silence the voices. It will happen that fast.

STU: And that's. So what are we -- how do you prepare for this? Because you just listed off five or six major ways, this could go down.

And is it even plausible to try to prepare for all of them, or even half of them?

How do you prepare --

GLENN: So I think you have to -- I think you have to change the way you look at things.

So let me take a break. And then we'll come back. And I'll give you -- I'll give you something that I felt in prayer, just a week ago. Or early -- maybe it was a few days ago.

Yeah. It was like last Thursday. And it changed my thinking, entirely. On how to prepare.

I'll give you that. And then, how do protest?

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.
