Will Congress ARREST anyone over DELETED Jan. 6 files?

House Republicans have discovered that just DAYS before Republicans took control of the House in 2023, the Democrat-run Select January 6th Committee deleted over a terabyte of data from its records. Rep. Barry Loudermilk, who leads the committee reviewing the previous committee’s investigation, joins Glenn to discuss what the Republicans are doing next. Many of the files, he explains, are still password protected. But he details what was in some of the unlocked files that had been deleted: “[These] were critical to the investigation.” But is anything going to come of this, Glenn asks? Will anyone be arrested or subpoenaed for what may be an illegal attempt to hide the facts from the American people?

GLENN: We have representative Barry Loudermilk.

There's a story we have been trying to get to this week.

And we just kept putting it off. Putting it off.

And I was going to have it next hour. I was going to try to do it hour three, of the podcast. But I have Kari Lake on in half an hour. So stand by for that.

But Barry has been looking into the January 6th committee, and the deleted files that contain critical information. They deleted them before the G.O.P. was able to access them.

Now, they have recovered them. But we're looking for the password.

And the password is: Never.

Barry Loudermilk is with us now.

Congressman, how are you?

BARRY: Good, Glenn.

It's good to be with you again. Hey, we haven't tried the password never. It could work.

GLENN: Could do hate Trump.

Could do scam.

I mean, I could go all day on those.

Barry, what is the significance of these files?

BARRY: Well, that is what we don't know. All -- we know at this point, is they were recovered from what -- a series of hard drives, that were given to us. That were the hard drives of the computers on the select committee of January 6. At one point, in my communications with Benny Thompson who was the chairman of the select committee, regarding videos that he omitted that they must keep.

That were critical to the investigation. And these were the videos of the depositions, which even Liz Cheney, in her recent book says was so important that we videotaped. So the American people could see the truth.

But they decided not to preserve those. We were communicating with them about that, as well as documents that he sent to the White House, in DHS, instead of keeping them and giving them to us.

In his response to me, as to what happened to these documents. Why didn't he keep them.

He mentioned that they handed over four terabytes of digital data to us.

The problem is, we only had less than three terabytes of digital data. So when we found out, that these videotapes were missing, that we searched for those. They didn't exist. He admitted to not keeping those.

I don't know where those are. We're still trying to find those.

GLENN: You know, can somebody check?

I'm pretty sure the NSA has a really big storage cloud in Utah. Can we maybe knock on the door and say, hey, are you a lending library? Can we see some stuff?

BARRY: That is a possibility there. We've even gone to the House recording studio, who is when you normally do a deposition, and you have it recorded, video recorded. You just call the House studio. This is what they do. They bring the equipment. They record it.

And they keep it. And they make it available to you. And when they're ready to archive it, you get it from them. What the Select Committee did was different. Because when Bennie Thompson told us, he didn't keep any of these, we just went to the recording studio. And said, can you give us copies of them?

And they said, well, we didn't have any. Because they didn't allow us to have any.

In fact, they only borrowed our equipment.

They wouldn't even use our people to do the recording.

So that sounded to me like, wow. This was planned from the beginning.

So we hired. Trying to figure out where these one-plus terabytes of data were, we hired independent, outside computer forensics company, to take those hard drives. And do a low-level scan of them.

And as you would expect, a hard drive that someone uses. You will find some deleted files.

Now, you see files that were deleted early on in an investigation.

You know, it's doing work.

You delete duplicates.

You get rid of it.

What highlighted to us. Were files.

Particularly, some that were deleted.

That they recovered.

That were deleted literally just days or hours before the Republicans took control.

One of those documents that was not password encrypted for some reason.

It was found in the recycle bin.

Was related to the depositions that were sent to the White House.

So there's a deleted file, that was deleted on January -- or January 1st, 2 days before the Republicans took control.

Related to documents that we know that they had, that they sent away. And we didn't have access to.

There were also 117, I believe, the number of documents, that were password-protected and encrypted, that we had seen the file names. We can see what type of file it is. And those names don't match anything that we already have.

So they are unique documents, that I believe we haven't seen before. But we can't get into.

So how critical they are?

We don't know. I just want someone to give me the password.

GLENN: Don't we have people that do that?

I've seen it in movies and stuff. You put a little box over the password.

Like password is cake.

All right. So, anyway, that's my password, by the way.

I'm going to change it now.

We're talking to chairman Barry Loudermilk from Georgia.

The conservative Republican from Georgia.

Is any of this illegal?

I mean, aren't you supposed to preserve documents?

I know if this happened. And Congress wanted information, that was on my computer. And I just went whoops, I deleted it all.

I think my butt would be in a chair in front of you guys. And I would be in trouble.

Wouldn't I?

BARRY: You could be. Yes.

Because if you deleted it, at a point, when you knew that Congress was looking for it.

Or you know the courts were looking for it.

Yes. You're free to delete anything you want today.

Once you know --

GLENN: And they did know.

BARRY: And they did know. We sent them letters of preservation.

The clerk's office has rules regarding what should be preserved. And video depositions are a part of that.

GLENN: So why is nothing happening.

BARRY: Well, we -- we got to know exactly the extent of where things are.

And my number one priority is getting the document, so we can -- you know, not only the passwords for these documents.

But getting the documents from the White House, and Homeland Security, that they have.

And so we are -- for lack of a better term, working with the White House right now.

The four depositions, they have, that are -- these are House documents. They are not executive branch. These are documents owned by the House of Representatives.

They are White House employees who testified before the committee. And the chairman sent those to the White House.

We had requested them. They didn't respond. Requested them again. They responded and said, okay. We'll send them to you once we redact them. So we sent them four documents, so heavily recontacted. It was literally pages of --

GLENN: Look, Barry. What do you think of this. Let me just offer.

I can get on the air now. I can probably find somebody that goes by the name of like, you know, one eye. And he can have that thing, hacked open, you know, pretty quickly.

And we would do it in the Capitol. You know, under supervision and stuff.

But I think we can get that done.

I cannot believe with the power and the might of the United States of America, we can't open up those files.

Hmm.

BARRY: We're going to be looking at. We've contacted some different terms, if you will. That have technology, to try to get into -- some of them say, with the new encryption standards.

They may not be able to. But we're looking at doing that.

In the meantime, we're just trying to find somebody that has the passwords.

I asked Benny Thompson for them. Just a simple letter. Saying, we found those documents.

Not making an accusation there.

We just -- they're encrypted. Don't know why you encrypted them.

We need the password.

He responded with a three-page letter. I think he used ultra MAGA in it. A year or ten times.

Making all kinds of accusations. I have no idea what you're talking about.

GLENN: Yeah. Seems like obstruction.

BARRY: Which could be the case. It could be that he doesn't bank what the committee did for two years.

Sometimes, he knows what those password are.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

Talking to Representative Barry Loudermilk about January 6. There's one other thing I want to hit quickly.

This whole pipe bomb story is falling apart quickly. I mean, all of the January 6th narrative. Is falling apart. Any update on the pipe bomb thing. I mean, this week, we -- we saw the video of an undercover Capitol Police man, who is supposedly, just a passerby at the beginning. Now we find out, it's Capitol Police. He spots it. Then goes over to the Secret Service.

They finish their sandwiches. Let kids walk by it.

Before they get out of their car. And -- and, you know, then send the robot out to disarm it. What the hell is going on with this?

BARRY: That's a good question. We've been working with Representative Thomas Massie in Kentucky. This is something he wanted to take on, as a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Weaponization Committee.

So we've been working closely with him, pulling video records. Doing some investigative work ourselves.

And, you know, we released in the last -- couple of weeks. It was an undercover Capitol Police officer.

Even before we knew that. We had video of the person, who placed the pipe bomb.

You can watch him place it. The night before, and it was obvious, that he was putting it in a place, to be found.

GLENN: Yes.

BARRY: The Secret Service has the vice president elect, Kamala Harris, at that building. They were there, sitting literally feet away from this pipe bomb, and never saw it. I mean, they're supposed to be doing sweeps of the building, before you bring somebody there. And that pipe bomb had sat there from the night before.

GLENN: If you look at the pipe bomb.

If you look at the pipe bomb. It was like designed we mega mind. I mean, it's so clear.

It's got the kitchen timer on it. It is so clear, that it was meant to be found, and that it's a pipe bomb, that my dog would have sniffed it out.

How did they miss it?

Except, they did find it. Twenty minutes before the vote was supposed to go down on Capitol Hill. Wow! And that's where the timer was stopped. It stopped at 20 minutes.

Before the hour, or whatever.

Wow, what a coincidence that is!

And why is it that Kamala Harris, we didn't even know where she was? And anything about this, for a year.

And how is it that this is the greatest scandal and the darkest day in American history, and yet, the people that would gain the most, from saying, there were two pipe bombs. They planned on blowing up buildings.

Haven't said a word about it.

Why?

BARRY: And the FBI pulls resources from the investigation, and moves them over to helping prosecute the people that were there on January 6th.

It seems to me, a lone pipe bomber would be more dangerous, that's still out there. Than people who have already, you know -- even if they did something wrong, which there were people that did.

GLENN: Yes, I agree.

BARRY: But there are other people, that they're spending an awful lot of resources, what should be misdemeanor charges. That you'll pull resources from investigating a pipe bomb, to go after these folks.

Then there's the issue of the gallows. You know, the infamous gallows, that Biden is using in his campaign right now.

GLENN: Yeah.

And they were -- they were built the night before, in front of the police!

BARRY: 6 o'clock in the morning.

Why didn't someone tear that down?

I mean, with all the security, with all the police, with US park police.

The FBI, Metropolitan Police, the US Capitol Police, in droves. All around that area. That morning.

GLENN: And we have it all on tape.

Yeah. And we have it all on tape. And we can't find the guys that built it, can we?

BARRY: Well, the FBI sure hasn't.

GLENN: Yeah, that's weird.

BARRY: Independent investigative reporter, that's doing tremendous work.

Much like Steve Baker has been doing this. Has been working on this, and he has more leads than the FBI did.

GLENN: Yeah, that's weird.

BARRY: Let me tell you, Steve has done a tremendous job.

We've spent a lot of time with him. Of course, he's been in our office, looking at videos.

He's doing a great service to the American people, by exposing some in-depth corruption. Our prayers are with him, and our support is with him as well.

GLENN: Thank you. I will say, everybody at the Blaze. And I ask the audience to do the same.

Pray for him. Because we're expecting him to be arrested any day, and we don't even know the charges. And they won't tell him the charges. And all he did was investigate.

He was there just as a reporter, investigating.

And now that he's exposing things, all of a sudden, oh, they -- they're going to file charges.

So any day. Thank you so much for your help on that and everything else. I appreciate it. God bless.

BARRY: Well, the American people deserve to know the truth.

GLENN: They sure do. Congressman Barry Loudermilk from the great state of Georgia.

SHOCK POLL: The % of Young People Who Support SOCIALISM is Insane

New polling reveals a shocking truth: young Americans aren’t just open to socialism... they overwhelmingly want a socialist president in 2028. Glenn Beck and Justin Haskins break down five alarming surveys showing massive ideological shifts among voters ages 18-39, including young Republicans. Why is socialism exploding in popularity, and what does this mean for the future of America? Are we on the brink of a political transformation or potentially even a national crisis?

Property Taxes are OUT OF CONTROL - And Here's Why! | Guest: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott

Texas Governor Greg Abbott joins Glenn Beck to expose why Texans are being crushed by skyrocketing property taxes — and how local governments, not the state, keep driving homeowners deeper into financial distress. Gov. Abbott breaks down his five-point plan to impose strict spending limits, force voter approval for tax hikes, reform out-of-control appraisals, empower citizens to slash taxes themselves, and eliminate school district property taxes for homeowners altogether. Glenn argues that property tax is morally wrong because it prevents Texans from ever truly owning their land, and Abbott lays out his strategy to fight both parties in the legislature to finally deliver lasting relief.

Joe Rogan & Glenn AGREE: We just got CLOSER to civil war

Joe Rogan recently warned that we may have gotten to Step 7 of 9 in the lead-up to civil war. Glenn reviews the 9 Steps and explains why he believes Rogan nailed this one. But Glenn also lays out what Americans MUST do to reverse this trend...

GLENN: So if you take what Fetterman said yesterday about how people are cheering for him to die on the left, and then you couple it with something that was on the Joe Rogan show on Tuesday. He was saying that the reaction to the death of Charlie Kirk makes him think that the US is closer to Civil War than -- than he thought.

Now, let me quote him. He said, after the Charlie Kirk thing. I'm like, oh, my.

We might be at seven. This might be he step seven on the way to a bona fide Civil War. Charlie Kirk gets shot, and people are celebrating.

Like, whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

You want people to die that you disagree with?

Where are we now on the scale of Civil War?

Well, let me go over the scale of Civil War, because it's sobering.

Now, none of this has to be true. If we wake up and decide, I don't want to do this anymore!

Okay?

Here's step one.

Step one. Loss of civic trust.

Every civil conflict begins when people stop believing that the system is fair. Are we there?

We're so far -- we're so far past the doorway, we are comfortably asleep on the couch on this one. Gallup and Pew both show trust in Congress, the media courts, and the FBI government are now at record lows.

The Edelman Trust Barometer classifies the US now as severely polarized. Majority of Republicans distrust federal elections. Majority of Democrats don't trust the Supreme Court.

Americans are really united on one thing, and that is the other side is corrupt!

When faith in the rules collapses, the republic begins to wobble. But that's step one. Step two, polarization hardens into identity!

Political disagreement is normal!

Identity conflict is fatal!

But that's what Marxists push. Identity politics. This is when politics stopped being about policy, and started being about who you are as a person.

Have we crossed this one into step two?

I mean, we're neck deep into this. A study on this, from PRRI.

It's a survey, found 23 percent of Americans believe political violence may be necessary to save the that I guess.

I think that's an old study. Americans now sort themselves by ZIP code into ideological enclaves. The big sort: Universities, activists, corporations. Everybody is promoting oppressor versus oppressed.

And that -- does what?

It puts us into incompatible tribes. Opponents aren't wrong anymore. The opponent is dangerous!

If I go back and you look at civil wars, Lebanon, before 1975. Yugoslavia, before 1991. That's -- we're doing that. Okay?

Step three. Breakdown of the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers are kind of like the referees of society. It's the media, political parties, churches, civic leaders.

When they fail, extremism fills the vacuum. Okay. Where are we on this? Have our gatekeepers failed us?

Yeah. I think both parties, especially the left, you know, everything I predicted that the left was going to be eaten by the extreme left, and then the communists and the socialists is now happening.

They've lost control of the fringe of each party. Media transformed, you know, from referees into team coaches. Tech platforms. It's outrage for profit. Universities are not there to cool things down. They heat them up.

Churches. Churches are useless. Useless.

When the referees leave the field, the game devolves into a brawl. And the refs are gone off the field. So there are only nine steps. We're at step four. Here's step four.

Are you ready for this one?

Parallel information realities.

Civil wars don't require different opinions. They require different realities.

I remember reading about Germany, at the beginning of, you know, the Nazi era. How the two new newspapers. One was propaganda for the government.

And the other one, it was the last one that was kind of the holdout.

And they said, you could read them, and they would cover the same thing.

But they had almost no information was the same. Except, that happened yesterday.

Here's what they said. And then everything else was different. That's exactly -- I mean, step four is complete!

We can't agree on facts, right?

Crime rates. Border numbers. Inflation. Election security.

Two Americans can watch the same video. And see opposite truths.

Social media algorithms are creating customized political universes.

Digital echo chambers. Deepfakes. We're just at the beginning of that. And both sides accuse the other of running disinformation machines.

Why? Because we don't have a shared reality. So if you don't have a shared reality. How do you settle any dispute?

On the nine steps, we're up to number five. Coming in at number five.

Loss of neutral rule of law.

This out of the nine steps with, five is the pivot point.

It's not corruption, it's the belief that the law is no longer neutral.

Are we there yet?

Let me tell you the CBS you.gov poll. 67 percent say the justice system is used for political purposes.

I think that's low. January 6 defendants given years in prison, 2020 rioters were released. High profile political figures, prosecuted or shielded based on party.

FBI whistle-blowers alleging pressure to inflate domestic extremism numbers. States like Texas, directly defying federal directives, on border enforcement.

And now, leading the way, with the federal government.

History is really cold and unforgiving on this point.

Once the people believe justice is political! Remember, this is the turning point.

The republic stands on borrowed time. Once you no longer believe that justice is achievable. Step six.

Are we there?

I think we are.

Step six. Normalization of political violence!

This is where violence stops shocking the system. Are we there?

Remember, where violence stops shocking the system. Look at evidence just from Virginia. What they just voted for.

He was calling for the death of a -- a political opposition.

Calling for his children to be killed.

Was called on it, never apologized.

Never said anything other than, yeah. I know. He dug it deeper.

Was anyone shocked by it? Apparently not. They elected him. Here's the evidence. 2020 riots.
574 events. $2 billion in damage. Was anybody outraged by that? Or was it downplayed and excused?
Assassination attempts. Assassination attempts against the president. Supreme Court justice.

Fistfights. And mob actions on college campuses. To silence speakers. Rising to do for punching a fascist or stopping genocide. Depending on the ideology. Online chatter discussing Civil War, national divorce, and revolution.

When violence becomes part of the political language, a nation crosses an invisible line. We're now up to step seven out of nine.

This is where Joe Rogan said, are we at step seven?

The rise of militias and parallel forces.

When a state loses he is monopoly on force.

Countdown accelerates. So where are we on this one?

I think we're seeing, maybe early signs of this.

You're starting to see the -- the states kind of organize these mobs, you know, to go after ICE.

Right?

Armed groups, right-wing, left-wing radical secessionists. Anyone.

Once they start forming their own police forces. Or their own option forces, then you have -- then you have everything really falling apart.

Entirely!

I don't think we're there, yet!

But we're starting to see the beginnings of this.

Step eight. The trigger event.

Civil Wars don't begin with a plan. They begin with a spark.

So where are we?

We're not here yet. The conditions are right. Potential triggers, disputed election in '26 or '28.

Political assassination or major attack.

Supreme Court decision that ignites mass unrest.

Financial crisis or dollar crisis.

A state federal standoff turning violent!

Nothing is ignited yet, but the room is soaked in gasoline. So we don't have seven. We're on the verge of eight, at any time. And here's nine.

This is the point of no return.

When police, military, or federal agencies split, even if no one calls it that, well, where are we?

Well, I just read a story about how with the Mamdani election in New York, a good number of the police force is going to leave. And they're going to go join police forces elsewhere. You also have the tension between the state National Guard, and the federal directives, the state guard and the state directives. Law enforcement recruitment is at crisis lows. The distrust of the FBI, DOJ, CIA. Tens of millions of Americans. I always really respected those institutions. I have no respect for them now. If you have states openly defying federal rules on immigration, drug laws, sanctuary policies.
Whistle-blower claims of internal politicization.

All of these things are in play for the first time in 150 years, people can imagine!

So I give this to you, not to be fearful of, but to know where you are. As a map!

Know where you are.

And hopefully, it might wake some people up, if you chart America on, on the nine step model of Civil War. Steps one through four, completed!

Step five, happening!

Step six, happening! Step seven, beginning! Step eight, just waiting for it. And step nine, avoidable, only if step eight, never happens. Again, I'm not telling you for doom purposes, this is diagnosis. This is a doctor going, I want you to look at the chart.

And this is a doctor saying, I want you to look at -- do you see what's happening to your body?

If you don't stop this habit, you are going to die. You don't have to die. You can stop smoking and drinking right now. You can start exercising. But if you don't, you are going to die.

The question is, are we the nation that says, nah, that's not going to happen to me. Or are we the nation that wakes up and sees our chart and says, good heavens, it's way far more gone than I thought it was. But I feel something in the air.

I'm going to change my behavior. The nation that refuses to look and wake up and stop calling their neighbors enemies, is the nation that fails!

We have to strengthen these things that have already fallen. And, you know what, the easiest one to do is?

Church. Where are you ministers and pastors priests and rabbis?

Where the hell are you?

I think there's going to be a special section for you, when you cross over to the -- because you're doing things in the name of God!

So when you get to the other side, I think there's going to be a special section for those who remained silent. While his rights were being taken away.

You don't own that right.

I don't own that right.

The Lord gave us those rights, and said, protect them!

By you, being the representative, the voice box, if you will, of the Lord, to shepherd his people. By you not standing up and saying, hey, by the way, we have -- we have a moral responsibility to protect these rights for the next generation! By you refusing because you're afraid. Because I think, there's no politics in the Bible! There's no politics in the Bible. Really?

The whole thing is about politics. Is about the moral way you have to live your life.

Calling things as you see them. Calling them back to eternal principles.

He didn't tell anybody how to vote. Render to Caesar what is Caesar's.

But there are certain principles that you have to have, or you lose not only this citizenship, but the next citizenship. The one that really matters. And, boy, if you are doing it because you're a coward, you are in the wrong business!

Get out of the pulpit, and go to work at Jack in the Box.

Democrat “SMOKING GUN” on Trump & Epstein gets DESTROYED by facts

The House Oversight Democrats recently released "new" emails allegedly proving President Trump lied about his knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. However, Glenn points out a glaring issue with these emails that destroys their entire narrative...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, let's dive right into the Epstein Maxwell emails. My gosh, Stu!

Why are they trying to cover up that Donald Trump had sex with children!

STU: I mean, it's just clear, as -- as day, in the emails!

GLENN: Yeah. No.

STU: He spent hours with one of the victims. What else could have possibly have occurred in that arrangement? We don't know!

GLENN: And it's -- it's one of the victims, Stu. One of the victims!

STU: One of the victims, that's all we know. One of the victims.

GLENN: Let me read what Jeffrey Epstein wrote. I want you to realize that the dog who hasn't barked is Trump. Victim redacted. Victim spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned. Police chief, et cetera.

Okay. New information, just released. Or is it?

Because in 2011, 2011, that was released and everybody knew it. It's been out floating around. Here's the change: In 2011, this is what it read.

I want you to realize that the dog hasn't barked is Trump. Virginia spent hours at my house with him.

Why would you redact a name that is already out in the public square!

It's already out!

The memo is already out. The email is already out. It's been out for years. Why would you redact that name now?

Well, because it makes it all of a sudden, new and shiny. Shiny and new. If you don't know who said it, you see victim, and you're like, oh, you see victim. Who is the victim?

I don't know. But when you know it's Virginia, you know this has already gone to court. This is -- she already testified about this!

He didn't partake in any of this, any sex with any of it. It's true. He didn't partake in any sex with us, and I'm quoting, this is from the testimony. But it's not true, that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me. Have you ever met him?

Yes, at Mar-a-Lago, my dad and him. I wouldn't say they were friends, but my dad knew him, and they would talk. Have you ever been in Donald Trump or Jeffrey Epstein's presence with one another? No!

What's the basis of your statement that Donald Trump is a good friend of Jeffrey? Jeffrey has told me that Donald Trump is a good friend of his.

He didn't partake in any of -- any of the sex with any of it. He flirted with me.

It's true, that he didn't partake in any sex with us. But it's not true that he flirted with me.

So I don't understand that. But she goes on. Donald Trump never flirted with me!

Okay. So what -- what's new about this?

This is the same girl, this is the same person that -- didn't she work at Mar-a-Lago?

Or she was going to get a job at Mar-a-Lago.

STU: Yeah. I believe she did at one point.

GLENN: Yeah. So we know they know each other. We know they know each other.

We know that at Mar-a-Lago, Jeffrey Epstein would come, and he was poaching the employees. The girls there. To go work for him.

And Donald Trump went to him. And said, "Hey, man. Stop it. Stop poaching people from me. That's not cool. Don't do it." And then he said, "Oh, yeah. All right." And then he did it a second time. And he's like, "You know what, you're out. I don't want you here anymore. I asked you not to do it, and you did it." Now, that doesn't mean that he knew what was happening to the girls or what was happening or anything else.

And even if it did mean something was happening with the girls, he was saying, "Hey. Stop it! Don't take any of the girls or the women here.
Don't do it." I don't believe he knew anything about any of this. But God only knows! And really, God only knows!

This is not new news. Donald Trump, he might end up beating Bezos as the richest man on the planet! When all is said and done!

Because, again, the -- they're presenting this as new fact, a giant scandal. Stu, I don't know if you know this. This is -- this breaking news is a giant scandal.

STU: Yeah. I've heard democratic representatives saying that over the past 24 hours. Yeah. We need to investigate this.

This is shocking stuff. It's a massive scandal. Even ABC News, I heard, pushed back against this. And said, well, what scandal? What are you implying occurred here?

We know who the victim was. We know the victim. Like why. Why did you even redact that name?

And they're like we always redact name of victims.

Do you really? When they're already out publicly?

Not to mention, this particular victim is not even alive.

You know, she sadly died. I mean, it's a terrible, terrible story.

GLENN: Terrible story.

STU: Yeah. She passed away.

A suicide. It was at least the report I believe. But she has a posthumous book coming out. But like a terrible, terrible story.

But, you know, to act as if you have to protect her identity when, number one, she's dead.

GLENN: Is ridiculous.

STU: Number two, everybody already knows who she was, including the news sources, who also have a policy, you would think.

And ABC has a policy. They redact, that was in this type of situation. But it's already been out. We already knew who it was.

So they redacted to make it look like he's with other people who have not already told us nothing bad occurred! You know, and it is an absolutely awful tactic. And at least --

GLENN: I think litigation should follow again. I think he should sue them again. Anyone who is presenting this as new information.

ABC did their job. Congratulations for ABC. They did their job.

They pointed out, this is not new information.

Why would you redact. Why are you releasing this now? And you're redacting a name this -- this email is already out!

You're presenting this as a new scandal.

And you redacted that name. This is completely dishonest. The news media shouldn't even run with it. They shouldn't even run with it. They should have said, old news. Old news. And if you did run with it, you should have handle it had like ABC handle it had. Wait a minute. Why did you redact name.

What do you mean that there's a new scandal. She already testified exactly opposite of what you're believing Jeffrey Epstein over the victim right now. I just want to make sure you understand the Democrats right here. You're taking the name of Epstein, over the victim.

Oh, okay. All right.

STU: And Epstein doesn't even say that anything occurred.

GLENN: No.

STU: There's not -- it's just -- it would be something you would have to jump to a conclusion, to accuse Donald Trump of something like this.

And we know what happened, because the victim said nothing!

Said, it was nothing!

GLENN: Right.

STU: In fact, it wasn't even a flirtation. Which, by the way, even that, you might have thought was creepy. It wasn't even a crime.

It wasn't even flirtation. So it's a disgrace in every single way.

GLENN: All right. So let me take you here. Let me take you here.

If you remember when the shutdown first started, what did the Democrats say, the reason why they did the shutdown?

Not them! Why Mike Johnson and everybody else wouldn't negotiate!

Why wouldn't -- why wouldn't the Republicans negotiate?

Because the heat was on, to release the Epstein files.

And they didn't want to have to do that. So they shut the government down!

Okay?

They wouldn't negotiate. You didn't hear any of this? Oh, it's so arrogant.

STU: It doesn't make any sense at all. That's probably what they said.

GLENN: I know. I know. So the government is open, and what does Mike Johnson do yesterday?

He said the House is going to vote on a bill to release all of the files related to the late financier, convicted child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein next week. He said on Wednesday that a discharge position to bypass leadership and force a vote on the bill, hit the benchmark for needed signatures. It's been decided by him to expedite the vote for the bill, which under the current rules could have been delayed until at least early September.

So he says, as soon as that petition hit, the needed 218 signatures, I brought it up. Unanimous consent. Let's go! Release it.

So he's pushing this forward. Good, Mike!
Release all of it. Thank you!

Get it out. Lance this boil.

I mean, if anybody thinks that you're ever going to get the truth on this in the first place, it's madness. It's madness. Everybody -- I mean, so many important people were involved in this, and it was in the hands of the Democrats for the longest time. Okay?

So they had all of this information. You don't think it was all picked through? And if there was anything about Donald Trump, you don't think that would have come up between 2020 and 2024?

There's nothing in there about Donald Trump. These people are so stupid. This time, we've got him, boys. This time, we've got him.

No, you don't. This time, it's like Wile E. Coyote. This time, we've got the Roadrunner!

No. You're never going to catch him on this. It doesn't work. The guy was the most investigated person in the history of the world, and you've got nothing! Now, it's good to come out.

But if you think you're going to catch a bunch of people on the left, you're not going to. Because they had it, you know, in their possession.

You don't think all of the names were taken out? You don't think things were destroyed, if there was anything? I believe there was something. But I don't believe there's any names in it anymore. You're not going to get the truth on this one. You're just not going to get the truth, but release everything that we have. Everything!

Oh. Oh, by the way, also in the Epstein emails. How come nobody is talking about this one, Stu?

This one is from Michael Wolff, to Jeffrey Epstein. And then Jeffrey Epstein responds.

So Michael Wolff writes, "What's the thumbnail on Nes Baum (phonetic) Foster?"

And Jeffrey Epstein writes back, "Nes Baum White House Counsel, dot, dot, dot, Hillary doing naughties with Vince."

Now, Vince Foster killed himself, you know, and then killed himself at the White House. And then drug himself across the street to the park.

I mean, I don't know -- the Vince Foster thing is so old. And it doesn't -- but why is nobody talking about that one?

Why is no one talking about that?

Also, this the Jeffrey Epstein email bundle, ABC, you don't feel that's necessary to bring that one up?

Huh. Interesting.
