Is Donald Trump’s midterm advice working for Republicans?

What is former President Donald Trump urging Republicans to focus on as the midterms approach? CRIME. People are afraid to walk outside, he says. So, how is that advice faring so far for GOP candidates? In this clip, Glenn and Stu discuss some of the most contested midterm races: the races to pay attention to, what candidates are choosing to focus on, and how the matchups look so far…

GLENN: Trump is imploring the G.O.P. to focus on crime, as midterms near. He says, people are afraid to walk outside. And that is true, in many parts of the country.

And it is working, in Wisconsin, isn't it?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. Ron Johnson and Mandela Barnes. And the big thing the Johnson campaign has hit Barnes on, is his -- you know, flirtations many times over with the -- the defund the police crowd. You know, he did an event with Ilhan Omar.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. You want to talk about being clueless. Yeah.

STU: Yeah. So they've been hitting them hard on this.

And especially in Wisconsin, which has gone through a real rough couple of years. People might remember. This is a situation, where it's really damaging. Barns' candidacy. And I think this is a message that is working across the country. That's just the highest profile of it. Johnson has worked out a pretty consistent lead there. And usually, Johnson wins when all of the polls says he's down by a couple of points. And he winds up winning. Now the polls are saying, he's up by a couple of points. Things are looking pretty good there for Johnson.

GLENN: Also, it looks pretty good in Arizona. CBS you.gov survey, show that Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs are tied now, 49-49, which I -- I'm surprised by. Especially -- I think that will change, especially since during the debate, Katy Hobbs was asked, you know, do you have any specific lessons that you might have learned from the Hispanic community? Which I think is a ridiculous question.

STU: It is a ridiculous question, I will say.

GLENN: No. She couldn't. No, she couldn't come up with anything.

She kind of struggled, you know, a bit here and there. And then she said, well, I -- I have a sister-in-law who is a Latina, and then tried to say a few words in Spanish. It didn't go well. It didn't go well.

STU: It's funny. It's such a random question.

GLENN: What would you say?

STU: I would say, I don't categorize the lessons I learn by race. Now, I can say that. She can't say that.

GLENN: A Democrat can't say that.

STU: She can't say that. I think that's a totally legitimate response to that question. Why the hell would I think, you know, what lessons have I learned from Latinos today? Like what weirdo thinks that way?

GLENN: You know, I have actually thought that. I have thought, there's a really good lesson --

STU: So you're the weirdo. I don't think you think that way generally.

GLENN: No. I wouldn't have thought of it, like I've got to learn a lesson. But what have I observed?

I've observed, God and family are center in their families. And their families do pretty well.

You know, they may not be at the top of the economic spectrum in America. But they do pretty well. They're families. They know what their priorities are. And I think that's great.

STU: That answer also not available to Katy Hobbs. She can't say that she cares about the nuclear family.

GLENN: No. She can't. She can't.

All right. So Blake Masters also looks like he's narrowing the lead. Kelly with 51, and Masters, 48.

STU: This has been narrowing for weeks.

GLENN: Yep.

STU: They pulled all the money out of Arizona. At least from the McConnell side of things. Which I think was a big mistake.

You know, I think McConnell does want the majority.

So he what I come back in. Hopefully, there are also talks about Peter Thiel, who has been a big supporter of Masters, coming in with an influx of cash, late in the campaign, which would be really, really helpful right now.

Because, look, Masters has the debate tonight. This is the big one, is tonight.

GLENN: I wish I could get that on TV. I would love to get that. Probably get it online.

STU: Probably can.

It's a big one. Really, there hasn't been a side-by-side, with Masters and Kelly.

GLENN: And I think Masters might cream him.

STU: I think so too. He's pretty smart.

GLENN: Yeah. Pretty smart?

STU: You know, I mean, we talked to him.

He's a smart guy -- he's got a really good history -- worked as an entrepreneur.

Worked inside the tech industry.

Kind of like -- I think he'll be more impressive to Arizona voters, than what the media has presented.

The media has presented him as this crazy person, who is just this lunatic. You know, come out, his eyes bulging out.

He's going to be doing all these crazy things. And Mr. Election denial himself. I mean, we've talked to him a bunch of times. That's not him at all.

I mean, he just seems like a really smart guy, that wants to do the best thing for Arizona. So I think him being side by side with Kelly, will help, if he has good performance today.

GLENN: Ron DeSantis.

STU: Doing really well.

GLENN: He's doing really well.

Eleven-point lead over Charlie Crist, which -- really?

Only 11 over Charlie Crist.

STU: How could you possibly vote for Charlie Crist at this point?

GLENN: I know. I have no idea. No idea.

STU: Now, an unnamed Democrat, there's plenty of people who might support that. But Charlie Crist obviously just goes wherever he can grab for power.

GLENN: Charlie Crist. You can talk Charlie Crist out of supporting himself.

STU: 100 percent. If it would give him the slightest advantage, he would vote against himself.

GLENN: He would. He would.

STU: I also looked at this too, this poll is important. In this, I believe entirely, before the hurricane.

So and he has had rave reviews of the way --

GLENN: Yeah. Even President Biden yesterday. You know, what's really great about the way he's handled things.

He doesn't dismiss global warming. Really? That's not --

STU: That has nothing to do with this.

GLENN: By the way, he has long coattails. The same poll shows three Republicans seeking cabinet posts, dug double-digit leads. Double digit leads.

That is -- I mean, this is Florida, man. This is Florida. That's not a deep red state.

STU: Yeah. People forget, Ron DeSantis won as the governor by 0.4 points. He did not run away with that election, by any means.

In fact, every big statewide election, where you think of Republicans.

Rick Scott, won very, very narrowly.

That's the way this works. You don't win by double digits, as a Republican by Florida. Maybe until now.

GLENN: So we have to talk to the woman who is running for the governor of Oregon.

I think she might win.

Now, she's still, you know, in the back. Let's see. Christian Drazin, who last week, oh, my gosh. Last week in four consecutive polls, took the lead. Did you know that?

STU: Yeah. Now, this is the race that we talked about yesterday. There's an independent that grabbed a large chunk of the vote there. Almost 20 percent.

So it's sort of like, if you go back to the Ross Perot type election. There's a real split here.

That's the type of thing, that hurt George H.W. Bush back in -- back in the day. I think it's helping here, the Republican. And there's a real chance here.

GLENN: Can I tell you something?

Her opponent in a -- in a debate, I think it was yesterday.

Called for the construction of a meth stabilization center.

She wants safe havens.

STU: It's called Portland. I mean, we've seen this in action over the past couple of years.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Oh, Michigan. I mean, can you imagine, with everything going on in Oregon, crime, drugs, everything else. You're like, I think we should build a safe haven for meth users.

I mean, God help you, Oregon. If that woman wins, you're in deep trouble.

STU: This really is the separation between Republicans and Democrats right now. The Democrats want safe havens for meth users. Republicans want safe havens for people who are around -- who have to deal with the meth users.

GLENN: Safe havens for people.

STU: For people. You know, so they don't have to get attacked in the street. By the meth users you're trying to give is safe spaces to.

GLENN: That's really what it should be. Safe havens for people who want to go to work. Raise their children. Not get stabbed. Or have their kids die on fentanyl. That's a safe haven. That's a Republican safe haven.

STU: Yeah. And, again, that message connects with people right now.

Everybody feels this way. We're spinning out of control, no matter what major city you live near. When you go down into the middle of it.

It seems like no one is really trying anymore, to really keep you safe.

GLENN: Yeah. So there is hope, because of that. Real hope. But I -- I showed a chalkboard last night. I'll talk about it here, in about 15 minutes. And you can find it at Blaze TV.
It's a really important show.

And I think it's not just sobering. It also gives you the answer, okay? Because the guy who made this chalkboard, forty years ago, he was with the KGB. He said, here's how you do it from the inside. Because we were going to do it.

So here's how the Soviet Union. This was before the Soviet Union collapsed. He said, here's the plan.

And I got to tell you, I'm not saying the Soviets are doing it, or the Russians are doing it. Although, they'll pile on. But it is exactly what is happening to us. And he said, it's a 20-year plan.

And the only flaw -- the only way, this can be stopped, and I'll let him tell you next hour, via videotape.

He's long dead.

But it is -- it's an answer you know. It's an answer you know. And it's an answer that everybody -- yeah. It will. Yeah, it will.

This was the thing that the Soviets felt was their biggest danger in this.

Also, it is -- it's remarkable, as a time line. Because they said it was a 15 to 20-year plan.

How long have we been going through this, Stu? Really, it's like September 11th. Right after that?

It's about a 20-year plan. And he said, that has -- it has to be 20 years. Because it has to get the next generation.

It has to be in the schools. And the kids have to be demoralized. And confused. And everything that our kids are right now.

And he said, because that generation is the one who is really going to push it through.

And he -- he laid out four steps.

I showed it last night on TV.

Four steps. And we're at the end of the third step. And the fourth step is, totalitarianism. And there's different ways that can go, but totalitarianism. So there's really only three steps to disaster. And we are at that line of disaster. This is like last call. Last call.

So important that you hear it. And I think it will give you great hope. At least it does me. Debating on whether I should tell you a story. I'm going to think about it.

There's something that -- something that's very personal, to me.

That happened to me about two years ago. And while it was terrifying to think about it, at the beginning, it actually totally changed my perspective.

And by the end of a conversation, I was like, I feel so much better. I -- I like, really have hope. Let me think on that. But I think this will give you hope. I really do. So you can watch us on BlazeTV. Join us, please. I'm almost out of time.

There is, I don't know if you saw this. This came out September 30th. A consortium of four private groups, worked with a Department of Homeland Security. And Department of State, to sensor massive numbers of social media posts, they consider misinformation during the 2020 election.

Then its members got rewarded with millions of federal dollars from the Biden administration. The election integrity partnership is back in action again, for the midterm elections, raising concerns among people who believe in, I don't know, freedom. That a chilling new form of public/private partnership to evade the First Amendment prohibition of government censorship may be expanding.

What they did in 2020, is they set up this service. That allowed federal agencies like home land cyber security, infrastructure, security agency, which I've never even heard of. And the state's global engagement center, to file tickets. They could go to this public/private thing. And the government agencies could say, I want to write a ticket. That's misinformation. You should remove it.

And they would.

They also -- listen to this. They also gave our empowered, with federal agency-like power. To the Democratic National Committee. Common cause, and the NAACP. So they could write tickets as well. And have people censored.

We were on that list. And I was specifically named. I want you to know, it's a matter of time. Please, it is so important. And I know you're -- I know how hard you work for your money. And I know every dollar counts. But if you believe we can help you through things, please, subscribe to Blaze TV and do it now.

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.
