Glenn: No more right and wrong, just political agenda

I want to talk to you a little bit about the truth tonight and if it matters, and I want to start with a story that is getting very little play in the mainstream media.

In fact, this is the way it’s reported by the Associated Press, and I just want to give it to you, an incredible story. “Authorities are investigating the rape of a 13-year-old girl in Central Texas who was assaulted by several men, some of whom used cell-phone cameras to record the attack. Court records filed in Austin indicate the girl ran away from home June 29 and was approached by a car with three men inside.

The girl was driven to an apartment about a mile away. Records say up to 10 men were at the apartment, with some taking turns having sex with the girl. She told police that some cheered…Two men have been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child. Twenty-four-year-old Juan Lozano Ortega and 26-year-old Edgar Guzman Perez were in custody Thursday, each on a $30,000 bond, after being arrested a day earlier.”

That’s the end of the story. That’s all they thought. That’s the best they could do, no other details that they felt were important enough to share because they’ve got other things to do, I guess. But there’s a little bit more to this story. If you take the Associated Press story and throw it out, there’s more, more that you probably should know.

First of all, she was a runaway. Did she run away from her parents? No, she was living in a place called The Settlement Home for Children. The Settlement Home is a place for…it’s a placing agency for foster children, so this isn’t some spoiled brat teenager mad because I didn’t get an iPhone, mom, for my birthday. This is a child who has been rejected her entire life. At 13, she probably understands she’s most likely going to age out of the foster care system in and out of homes, in and out, in an out.

So she runs away from The Settlement Home. She hitches a ride with three men she didn’t know, first mistake. They take her to this nearby apartment complex. The young girl is escorted into an apartment, only to find ten other males inside waiting for her. The next few hours have to be described as hell on earth, thirteen grown men up against one frightened 13-year-old girl, taking turns one after another after another after another.

Demented animals, and they reveled. It was a party for them, taking out their cell phones and recording all of it, one cheering another one on as they viciously raped a helpless 13-year-old girl, a girl with no family, no one really looking for her, no one coming to help, alone in the world, surrounded by men. Well, this gruesome attack goes on for hours and hours, all the way through the night and into the morning.

I just spent time with Elizabeth Smart. She told me when I was out in Utah she didn’t think she would live to see that morning. I’ll be you this 13-year-old girl didn’t think she’d see another sunrise. Well, finally they had enough, and they called off the attack. And one of these animals was kind enough to let her use his cell phone so she could call her foster brother, but her foster brother, not being a brother or a man, refused to help.

So, surprisingly, they had the compassion to drive her to a nearby neighborhood. They kicked her out of the car. They told her you gotta go find someplace else. Go find someplace else to go. She did find someplace else to go. She actually met a woman who brought her to another apartment, another apartment complex where this man was waiting for her.

Unbelievably, this 13-year-old girl was sexually assaulted yet again in the same 24 hours asking someone for help. Well, of the 13 attackers in the first attack, these two have been arrested. What the AP and the rest of the media haven’t bothered to point out is that these two and the other 13 appear to be all of them illegal immigrants. The others are still at large. Where is the outrage? Where’s Al Sharpton? Where’s Barack Obama?

Shouldn’t the president give a speech and say something like this girl could have been my daughter, after all, my daughter is just turning 14? Boy, he could give that speech, couldn’t he? How about the speeches on the dangers of letting illegals live in the shadows? How about the speeches of let’s just be good to each other? Where are the marches – no justice, no peace?

It’s not going to happen, because see, nobody really actually cares about people anymore. It’s really only about politics. It’s not about Trayvon Martin. They had to make him look like a little 13-year-old boy when he wasn’t. Why? Because it would help them get elected or reelected or get them to cause trouble or get them to get more power. But you see, this little 13-year-old girl, you don’t have to doctor a picture of her to make her look 13. She is 13.

Does anything even matter anymore? Does the truth matter? Is there such a thing as right and wrong? I don’t even recognize us anymore. I’m in our New York City studios today, New York City that has Michael Bloomberg as the mayor and soon could possibly have Anthony Weiner of all people, a man – do you think Anthony Weiner should be – look at this. Should he be anywhere near elected office, let alone leading the largest city in North America, one of the largest on the planet?

You know what’s really amazing is people are actually saying oh, you know, we shouldn’t pay attention to this. One week, one week before his big redemption video or interview goes to print in People magazine, he posed for pictures. There he is. That’s the pictures from People magazine, but as this was being printed, he actually starts up a sexually charged online relationship with a 22-year-old progressive activist.

He didn’t even try to hide it. He used his own name most of the time – the arrogance and the insanity of the rest of us. And here’s the biggest disgrace – this is still being defended. It’s all being defended by people. Andrew Sullivan actually came out and said sexting shouldn’t exclude anyone from public office. Really? Sexting shouldn’t?

Let me read it to you. “In this new Internet age someone has to be the person who makes sexting not an excludable characteristic for public office. If it becomes one, then the range of representatives… we can choose from in the future and present will be very, very different in experience and background than the people they are supposed to represent.” Andrew, may I just point out, I don’t think it’s sexting.

I mean, if he was sending, you know, explicit pictures and you know, hey, honey, I’m so hot and bothered by you right now, can you put the kid down early tonight so we can have animal sex on the kitchen table, I wouldn’t care. That’s up to him. It doesn’t matter. And if he wants to do animal sex with somebody else, I don’t care either, but he shouldn’t be trusted with our cities. It’s the fact that he lied about it. It has nothing to do with this sexting. He’s lying while asking us to trust him.

Is there no right or wrong anymore at all? Any? Is there any concept? Everybody else is doing it. Just accept it. Why not? Let me show you Slate.com and what they’ve said. “Anthony Weiner’s sexts don’t make him look like a sexual predator or even a freak. They make him look very, very ordinary.” Really? Wow, I mean, do you have a girlfriend that you’re trying to put into your Chicago love nest? What does he call it, a fallout shelter?

He calls this some bizarre name, someplace where they could go and just live out their wildest fantasies. Do you have a high heel fetish? Because I don’t. I mean, if that’s normal, I’m so proud to be abnormal right now. Spending all of your free time telling a stranger on the Internet that oh, you’re so hot, I love you, and sending naked pictures of yourself while you know, your wife is just down the hall, you know, with your firstborn kid, just a year old – that’s normal? Really, is it? I don’t think so.

We’re witnessing a society that is completely detached, and we’re detached from anything because we have an agenda. Why didn’t we tell the girl, why didn’t we tell the story of the 13-year-old girl? Because of an agenda. The second rapist was black. The others were illegal immigrants, so we don’t tell a story. That’s not a good story. That doesn’t help us with our agenda.

Right now MSNBC, they’re praising her for her courage. Imagine that, praising her for her courage – really, the people who fancy themselves as warriors fighting the good fight against the war on women? You want a war on women? It’s this guy, and they’re praising her staying with him. She’s been humiliated how many times? How many times does she have to have…not just once but twice. She’s not a woman – that’s pathetic. It’s pathetic.

I’m all for forgiveness in a relationship. I’m all for that. Nobody’s perfect, etc., etc. This guy is a sexual predator. That’s who he is. He’s a freak. He’s out of control. If she wants to do it, fine, but I’m not going to praise her for it. And look at me, I’m not attacking her. I’m just saying what are you thinking? What are you thinking? If this is my sister, get away from the monster. This guy relentlessly objectifies and corrupts all young women. He does. I mean, and they’re fine with it.

Let me give you another story. How about Nancy Pelosi’s progressive pal? This is the Mayor of San Diego. He’s refusing to step down despite the fact that he’s groping women at the office. He can’t even be trusted with women in the office. We’re a people who have no shame. We have absolutely no shame. He won’t step down. Nancy Pelosi was asked how she feels about him, and she says, you know, what happens in San Diego should be left to city residents. Oh, should it? Is it Vegas now, San Diego is? You have no opinion.

America, we have got to get a hold of our children, and I don’t know how we do it in a country – I mean, we look like the old fuddy-duddies. You just don’t understand sexing. Yes I do. Yes I do. Got it. The future of American Progressives, we are in deep, deep trouble. The ones we are growing, the 22-year-old Weiner sexting partner, she said that Weiner could send all of his naked pictures, all of them that he wanted as long as he kept legislating the way he was.

But if we continue to disregard right and wrong, and it doesn’t matter what anybody does – this is so far beyond anything that Bill Clinton ever did. We make fun of countries like Italy and France because they elect perverts and liars. What are we doing? This is our fault. And New York will probably elect this guy, and we will go the way of those countries. And those countries are on a timetable. They’re on critical – they’re on life support now.

No one’s going to be able to trust anything. The truth doesn’t matter. We turn from the truth, and they’re perverting absolutely everything.

How Trump is WINNING at the Panama Canal

MARK SCHIEFELBEIN / Contributor | Getty Images

Despite the doubts of the nay-sayers, Trump's Panamanian plans have already borne fruit.

Shortly before his inauguration, President Trump drew national attention to the Panama Canal. He reminded Americans of just how important the canal is for the U.S. and highlighted the Chinese influence that has been slowly taking control of the vital passage ever since America handed it over to Panama.

President Trump was immediately mocked and ridiculed by the Left, who called him delusional and an imperialist. However, earlier this week, Trump's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, made a trip to Panama and spoke with the Panamanian President, José Raúl Mulino, and Rubio made some serious headway. As Glenn has explained, Trump's boisterous talk is part of his strategy. Invading Panama was never the goal, just one of several options to get what America needed, and after Rubio's visit, it seems like America's needs will be met.

Here are the TOP THREE takeaways from Marco Rubio's visit to Panama:

1. Marco Rubio makes headway

On February 2nd, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martínez-Acha and President José Raúl Mulino where they discussed critical regional and global challenges, including the canal. Rubio drew attention to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal in which the U.S. promised Panama ownership of the canal on the condition of its guaranteed neutrality. Rubio argued that China's growing influence qualified as a breach of the treaty and that it gives the U.S. the power to take necessary measures to rectify the faults, given Panama doesn't act. As of this week, reports say Panama agreed and promised to take immediate action to purge Chinese influence from canal operations.

2. Panama is ditching China's Belt Road

After his meeting with Rubio, Panamanian President Mulino agreed that Panama would step away from China's "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI). The BRI is a Chinese effort to establish China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. In 2017, Panama signed on to this initiative, and China's influence in the small nation has exponentially grown. However, after Rubio's visit, President Mulino has not only stated that Panama will not renew its agreement with China, but moreover, the country will also look for ways to back out of the agreement early. This is a massive win for the Trump Administration and the American people.

3. The Chinese may lose their ports on the canal

Shortly after Rubio left Panama City, two lawyers spearheaded the effort to kick out a Chinese company that controls two major ports on the Panama Canal. The Chinese company—CK Hutchison Holdings—has operated one port on both ends of the canal since 1997, which could potentially give China a massive degree of control over traffic. After analyzing the contract, the Panamanian lawyers argue that the contract is potentially in violation of the Panamanian constitution and should be revoked. It is unclear if the constitutional issues relate to the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, but even on its own merit, this is a huge victory for America.

Top 15 jobs AI is TAKING OVER

The AI takeover has begun.

Last week, Glenn delved into the World Economic Forum's 2025 summit in Davos, where our malevolent overlords focused especially on AI and how it can replace millions of workers worldwide. We are at the precipice of a monumental change in how the world is run—WEF founder Klaus Schwab called it "The Fourth Industrial Revolution"—and in time, AI will augment every one of our lives.

Already, AI is taking jobs. Thousands, if not millions, of tasks are slowly being delegated to it. The affected fields are largely data entry, admin tasks, and clerical work, along with graphic design and some customer support roles. However, as AI becomes more sophisticated, the scope of its abilities will only grow. The WEF is all for it, and last month they released a shocking chart

that revealed what jobs were already feeling the pain. Check out the top 15 jobs that are already disappearing:

3 stories that prove USAID is a criminal organization

Kevin Dietsch / Staff | Getty Images

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has one mission—to eliminate government waste—and it's starting with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID is a federal agency that, on paper, is responsible for distributing foreign aid to conflict-ridden zones across the world. However, for years, Glenn has revealed that the USAID acts more like a second CIA, but without the regulation or oversight under the State Department. Elon Musk concurred, describing the federal agency as not merely "an apple with a worm in it" but rather "just a ball of worms."

Don't fall for the left's narrative calling USAID a "humanitarian" organization. Here are the top three stories that reveal just how corrupt the USAID really is:

1. USAID has funded terrorist organizations and Osama bin Laden

In 2023, USAID provided "assistance" to nearly 130 countries, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, Jordan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Yemen, Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, Nigeria, South Sudan, and Syria (which is currently run by a terrorist that received aid from the Obama-era CIA). Under Obama, USAID gave funds to an organization known as the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA), which was known at the time to help finance Jihadist groups and had been labeled by the U.S. Treasury Department as a "terror-financing organization."

The ISRA also funded and gave shelter to the 9/11 mastermind, Osama bin Laden—U.S. taxpayer dollars sent straight to the perpetrator of the deadliest terrorist attack in history and the most lethal attack on U.S. soil.

2. USAID "loses" funds that happen to end up in individuals' pockets

MANDEL NGAN / Contributor | Getty Images

A recent investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) revealed that in 2016, Chemonics International colluded with a USAID subcontractor to massively overcharge a USAID project to pocket extra funds from the project's bottom line. Moreover, the USAID project used "self-reported" performance metrics, which made it impossible to verify the actual progress of the project and how the funds were being used.

Even the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic has USAID's sticky fingerprints all over it. In 2014, USAID provided $38 million to an EcoHealth Alliance project called "Predict-2." One of the subcontractors, Ben Hu, headed the Wuhan Institute of Virology's gain-of-function research and was one of the first three people infected with COVID-19 in late 2019. That means U.S. taxpayer dollars were likely used to fund the very research that gave rise to the COVID-19 pandemic.

3. USAID operates as a second "CIA" with no accountability

The CIA isn't the only agency that meddles in the political inner workings of foreign powers. USAID has conducted similar operations since the 1950s. USAID notoriously sowed dissent in Cuba to grow U.S. influence, and they even taught South American police forces Nazi torture methods. In the late 1990s, 300,000 Peruvian women were forcibly sterilized in a "poverty reduction strategy" that received $35 million in funding from USAID.

More recently, USAID's foreign influence has grown significantly under former Obama adviser, Samantha Power, called USAID America's "soft power arsenal." Under her leadership, the organization meddled in the political affairs of several nations, including Ukraine, Ethiopia, and, Bolivia. Several domestic, left-leaning influence groups, such as the Tides Center, received several grants and aid.

Top THREE reasons we NEED the Panama Canal

Is Trump seriously planning a military conquest of the Panama Canal?

In the weeks leading up to the inauguration, Donald Trump launched the Panama Canal into the national spotlight. The canal is one of the most important passages in the world, and its continued operation has been critical for both the U.S. military and economy since its construction.

Since America relinquished sovereignty of the canal, China has asserted its authority in the region. The Chinese Communist Party has been growing its influence in Panama and neighboring Latin American countries, convincing them to join their "Belt and Road Initiative," an effort to poise China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. Panama in particular is quickly becoming a Chinese puppet state. There are currently over 200,000 Chinese living in Panama, a Chinese company runs two of the canal's five major ports, and another Chinese company provides telecommunication service for a large portion of the canal. The government of Panama has even gone as far as cutting diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

It's clear that the Panama Canal is under serious threat of falling into Chinese hands, but President Trump doesn't intend to let them move in. Here are the top three reasons we need the Panama Canal:

1. The canal was built by the U.S.

Without the United States, neither Panama nor the Panama Canal would exist. In 1903, after Colombia refused to allow the U.S. to build a canal across the isthmus of Panama, President Teddy Roosevelt devised a controversial plan. He supported a Panamanian independence movement, which swiftly overthrew the local Colombian government. Meanwhile, he stationed a U.S. warship off the coast, preventing Colombia from sending military forces to retake Panama.

The moment Panama declared its independence, the U.S. recognized it and struck a deal with the new government: the U.S. would control the Canal Zone, while Panama would receive $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000. Construction of the canal took over a decade, cost $375 million, and resulted in thousands of American casualties, making it the most expensive U.S. construction project of its time.

Fast forward to 1964 when tensions between the U.S. and Panama over the canal erupted into a riot. President Lyndon B. Johnson decided it was time to transfer control of the canal to Panama. However, this proved more complicated than expected. In 1968, General Omar Torrijos, a known ally of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, seized control of Panama in a coup. Negotiations over the Canal stalled, as many Americans opposed giving such an important asset to a controversial figure. It wasn’t until 1999, following the deployment of 27,000 U.S. troops to facilitate yet another change in power, that the Canal was officially handed over to Panama.

2. The canal is vital for the U.S. economy

IVAN PISARENKO / Contributor | Getty Images

The U.S. relies heavily on the Panama Canal for commercial shipping. Between 13 and 14 thousand ships use the Panama Canal every year, which is roughly 40 percent of the global cargo ship traffic. Additionally, 72 percent of ships traversing the canal are either heading toward or leaving a U.S. port.

The time ships save using the Panama Canal reduces shipping costs massively. For example, when the canal first opened in 1922, it was estimated that a ship’s journey from Oregon to the UK, was shortened by 42 percent, reducing costs by 31 percent. If the Panama Canal was blocked or destroyed, or if American merchant vessels were denied passage, the effects on the U.S. economy would be tremendous.

3. The canal is a key defense point for the U.S. military

Historical / Contributor | Getty Images

Similarly, the canal is key to the U.S. military and national security. The canal shaves off approximately 8,000 miles of the voyage between the Pacific and the Atlantic. If U.S. Navy ships were denied access in a time of crisis, the extra time required to bypass the canal would be disastrous. Conversely, if the U.S. can keep the Panama Canal from being used by foreign aggressors, it would provide a massive advantage in future conflicts.

A foreign enemy could easily exploit the canal's current vulnerability. This was proven in 2021 when a cargo ship accidentally blocked the Suez Canal for a week, paralyzing global trade. Imagine China intentionally sabotaging the Panama Canal, considering it controls ports on both ends, owns a bridge that spans the Canal, provides its telecom services, and has the second-largest fleet of ships using the route.
