How should America REACT to Hamas, Iran TERRORIST attacks on Israel?

Israel has declared war fir the first time in 50 years after Hamas terrorists attacked multiple cities and slaughtered hundreds of Jews in an event that the nation is comparing to 9/11. But how did Israel not see this attack coming? Glenn and his head researcher, former military intelligence analyst Jason Buttrill, break down what we currently know: "This was an Iranian-backed, Iranian-planned, Iranian-coordinated plot." So, how should we take the fact that the Biden administration just gave Iran access to billions of dollars? And where will this war go from here? Glenn warns that Iran and Hamas are serious about destroying Israel. So, maybe Biden should reconsider how much of our military resources he's throwing at Ukraine.

GLENN: Fabian, a friend of mine from Israel wrote in. On the Sabbath, it felt like 1973 all over again. We woke up to the distant thunder of missiles and Iron Dome interoceptors. Something big was on. But our devices were off, because of Shabbat.

And so only our neighbors and the security services knew how big this was. We walked to morning prayers. Not halfway through the local border officer, interrupted the service, to say, an exceptional event was unfolding. And we should get the children inside the house. Terrorists had infiltrated in large numbers. And were moving through the countryside.

And we started seeing our friends and our neighbors, wearing green uniforms, instead of holiday white, heading off to serve.

The Sabbath, overridden by the need to protect life. One stopped, and told us to go home. In the afternoon, we heard machine guns over the horizon a cell must have want to be close. It is ugly. It's as ugly as it has ever been in my lifetime. We're in total shock. The same kind of shock in 1973. The same complete failure of intelligence, complete inadequacy of border protection systems. Utter shock of the burning tank this enemy couldn't defeat. It's the same enemy we thought.

That also, we thought they would never dare something like this.

It's 1948, the Independence War. Villages invaded. Residents slaughtered wherever they were found.

Here were also the same enemy as now, village streets are full of bodies.

Women and children massacred in their homes. Teenagers made to go door-to-door to get the residents to open their house, so they could all be killed, execution-style, more easily.

Hostages, including soldiers, but also once again women, children, grandmothers, taken to Gaza to faces God only knows what fate.

Shock is still profound. And anger, lots of it. Grief has started mixing in, as the funerals have started today. As a dad, my four children are still small. The youngest is six. The oldest is 11. My oldest boy is eight. So when I think about them. I thank God, we don't live near Gaza. My children are safe now. I have no illusions about what could happen to them, if Hamas got their hands on them. Proud of my children. They are scared. We don't show them the images. We don't let them listen to the news. But we also don't lie to them. The thunder over the horizon is not really thunder. And they know it.

They see the neighbors in uniforms leaving the village to go serve. They know there's a war on. They know we were attacked. They know hundreds are dead. They grasp at the level of a child. But they know it. We tell them the truth without gory details. And always accompanied with our advice to trust God and the IDF. But we do tell them the truth. We tell them that it's okay to be afraid. And the best way to deal with fear, is to not pretend it doesn't exist. Or that scary things don't. The best way is to look fear straight in the eyes, and tell them, we're bigger than it is.

It's not going to get the better of us. Lo and behold all of this actually seems to help. They are brave. They're patient. Well-behaved for the situation. Yes, they have nightmares. They're cupid up in a locked house for way too long. And that gets loud. But I'm proud of them. I'm a proud Israeli father. Glenn, thank you for your prayers. For what it's worth, you, your family, and America, are in my prayers, daily. America is in its own dark and ugly times of its own right now. Much of it, it seems by design, and it might get worse before it gets better. But I have hope. May God bless and keep you. Fabian.

Jason Buttrill, who is our chief researcher also was military intelligence, is here to tell us how did they get in, Jason?

JASON: Well, Glenn, it was a -- it was an unprecedented event. I would say, possible, but only impossible if it was just a few random terrorists within the Gaza Strip. But that's not what this was. This was an Iranian-backed, Iranian-planned, Iranian-coordinated plot to pull this off.

They came in from multiple areas, they came in from the sea. Boats from the sea. They came physiological paragliders through the air. And they came through a very coordinated and sophisticated attack from the land. They first used drones to knock out observation towers along the border. They then fired a barrage of rockets to distract, across the border. And then they went in with explosives, IEDs on the border fences.

I was in this exact same area, and some of the exact same towns that were hit the hardest, when we opened up our -- our -- our embassy in Israel. And the IDF spokesman then. He's been making several announcements over the past weekend, predicted this exact same thing.

He said, if we're not. If we do not respond the way they're responding, they will come into these areas. They will hit these towns.

That's exactly what they did, and it's absolutely insane that we're seeing the response that we're seeing from western governments today, offering just random support, even though why they do it in the background is they, you know, give funding to -- to Hamas through Palestine.

I mean, the -- the reactions and the way that they responded, has been actually atrocious.

And what we should be doing, is there was a blueprint for this, Glenn.

This did not have to happen. There was a blueprint for this to not happen.

It was the Abraham Accords.

It was exactly what the Trump administration had set forth. I saw the state department talking about recently, how there had been unprecedented peace.

Well, yeah. Of course there had been. Because there was a good plan to do this. But you abandoned it. You abandoned it when you started going back to Iran and incentivizing them, to do what they're doing now.

And it was absolutely insane, how we saw over the weekend.

You saw how Kirby, and the rest of the State Department, were trying to backtrack furiously.

And say, oh, no. The 6 billion we ave did nothing. It was in a secure account in Doha. It was for health aid and humanitarian aid.

Well, what do you think they will divert their funds to? Once they knew they didn't have to divert all the other money, the billions to medicine and food. What did you think they would devote that money to? Terrorist attacks. That's what they did.

It's shameful. It's absolutely shameful.

GLENN: By the way, here is Iran. Iran was having a military parade.

And it aired on channel one, in Iran.

We got this from memory TV. Cut three, please.

We have come here to tell the elder of Khomeini, that Israel will be raised from the face of the earth.

Death to Israel.

The officials of the Zionist regime make a mistake. The Islamic Republic will raise Tel Aviv and IFA to the ground!

This is very clear, and we're going to go into where this all comes from.

You know, I've been saying for years, that the next Holocaust will come from Iran. They are serious about raising Israel.

And vanishing, the Jew. Here's the Hamas leader to the Jews. Also, from memory.

This is airing now on television, all throughout the Middle East.

This is our call to our resistance to our West Bank. To our people.

You're resistance abroad. Our strategic allies. The sons of this nation.

Today is your day.

We are on the verge of victory. Let us be partners in creating this great victory.

In conclusion, we say to the enemy, that is making threats and going on a rampage, your threats, rampage and arrogance did not, will not help you. We say one thing: Get out of our land.

Get out of our faces. Get out of our Jerusalem, and our Al-Aqsa Mosque. We do not want to see you on this land.

This land is ours. Jerusalem is ours. Everything is ours.

So I think it's pretty clear. You know, what they want. And I don't think it's a two-state solution. Maybe people will listen. Now, these same people say different things. You know, when they're speaking in English.

But that's why we go to memory, which is a -- an organization, that translates, all of the news, into English. So you can read the subtitles, you know exactly what they're saying.

And they are very, very, very clear.

Here is cut five. Hamas, a commander calling for more attacks.

Listen to this. In light of the continuous crimes against our people, and in light of the occupation's rampage, and its disregard for international laws and resolutions. And in light of the American and western support of Israel and the international silence, we have decided to put an end to all of this, with the help of Allah.

So the enemy understands, that the time it could go on a rampage, without it being held accountable is over.

We declare the beginning of operation Al-Aqsa Deluge. To say to the young people in the West Bank from the various organizations: Today is your day to sweep out the occupiers, and their settlements.

From all of our lands and the West Bank, to make them pay the price for their crimes over the lean years. Organize your attacks on this settlements, with all your means at your disposal.

Torch the earth, under the feet of the plundering occupiers. Kill, burn, destroy, and shut down roads.

Make the cowardly occupiers understand that the Al-Aqsa Deluge is bigger than they think.

The day has come, when anyone who has a gun, should take it out.

Now is the time.

If you don't have a gun, take up your cleaver or your axe.

Molotov cocktail. Truck, tractor, or car.

They also go on to say, all of those who are living now in western lands, this leads to the question, how many people are here from Iran? From Hamas? From Hezbollah?

From anybody who wishes us ill?

We know the -- according to the Border Patrol, that 80 -- 80 people that were on our most wanted terrorist list, 80 have come across the border, that we caught.

How many are on the terrorist list, that we didn't catch?

We're going to -- you know, I thought about it this morning. This is -- I've always heard the phrase, you know, elections have consequences.

This is the most consequential election of my lifetime, 2020.

We have depleted all of our resources. Because we have Joe Biden in power. The world is on fire.

The -- the oil shortage, that is here.

The munitions shortage that we have.

Let me bring Jason back in, in one minute, to talk just about how are we going to respond?

And what could we possibly give them. Because we've given them so much already, in Ukraine.

This seems to be, in my opinion, exactly what the Soviet Union, what happened to them.

They're doing to us, what we did to the Soviet Union.

Can you play cut eight, as we go back to Jason?

This is the Palestinian supporter's march in New York City.

Then we have the Palestinian supporter's march in Europe.

Same thing.

Europe is in trouble. I think we're in trouble because we don't know who is -- who is here.

And how are we going to be able to fight on two fronts, if we were to get involved in any kind of war?

Jason.

JASON: Sorry. Seeing that is absolutely disgusting.

That's the equivalent of during the -- during the World War II, if we had known about what was happening to Jews. And then people marching in the streets of New York, parading and glorifying the Nazis. That is absolutely disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.

GLENN: And may I just say, the same thing is true.

Hitler said what he would do to the Jews. So does Hamas. So does Hezbollah. So does Iran. So does Syria.

They're very, very clear what they will do to the Jews. Kill them all.

JASON: Yeah. Believe them. Believe them when they say they will do this. Our response is going to be limited. I mean, we don't really have the resources to really respond. We've never really directly responded anyway. We've provided weapons. We've provided basically, you know, a big stick in the background, to wave it around and make sure that nobody else gets involved.

And that's what we will do here.

We will sit probably off the coast. With an aircraft carrier.

I think there's always one inbound. But we will hope that Iran doesn't directly get involved.

They're indirectly involved right now. Because they're using a proxy. They're using Hamas. They're using another group called Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They're using those groups within the Gaza Strip to wage this war. That's what they're doing now.

Will they directly get involved? That's the question right now. And that's when we'll step in. I hope that does not happen.

But I don't -- I don't want to be like every other western analyst that is looking for this.

I've been trained in the same way, that they have, to look at this.

They never account for the wild card. They never account for the crazy man. They never account for the Hitler.

That's what we're looking for with Hitler right now. There is a wild card. Don't be fooled in thinking, this is not deeply religious. This is deeply religious. This is not about geopolitics with Israel. That's like what's so drastically different, than say something like Ukraine. This is drastically different.

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...

Transcript

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.
