WORLD'S TOP RAPPER Ben Shapiro just got OUT-RAPPED

Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro's rap song "Facts" has topped the iTunes charts. But while Ben has taken the title "World's #1 Rapper," Glenn is ready to dethrone him. Ben joins Glenn to discuss the success of "Facts," why he donned the now-infamous hoodie, and what he believes the biggest threat to the nation is.

GLENN: I believe I could say rap legend. Ben Shapiro. Welcome to the program, Ben. How are you?

BEN: Yo. Yo. Yo. Sup, homes?

GLENN: Hey, I would respond, but I'm a little uncomfortable.

How are you doing, man?

BEN: You know, it's -- it's been a journey. It's been a journey. There's so many iterations of my art over time.

From playing classical violin, now to this. There's just so many genres that I have yet to explore.

GLENN: What are you going to do next?

BEN: Heavy metal. Rock. There's --

GLENN: See. While you're dabbling in this kind of stuff, I'm learning new languages. I'm learning currently.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Which is like rap legend Ben Shapiro. I just said that.

And the people who speak that language, know it. But anyway, some of us are serious.

BEN: It's amazing.

Listen, it's just a testament to the magic of magnetic personality.

My insane levels of rizz, as they say. The kids say. Charisma.

Everyone -- everyone can't get off the rap train now. It's a sensation. And we will not be denied that number one status on Billboard number one. Even Billboard said now by the way, that we probably will make the digital song download number one this week, just in time for the Grammys.
(laughter)
I can only hope that next year, we get inspiration for a Super Bowl halftime show.

GLENN: Oh. Oh, that's so funny. Will you be showing your nipples on that?

If you do get into the halftime show. Okay. And America thanks you.

BEN: I'm going to say no on that. Something has to be left to the imagination. That's really my message.

GLENN: Yeah. So I'm wearing my -- I'm wearing my hoodie today. You were wearing your hoodie in the video, and you look good.

Whenever I see you -- you look -- I put the hoodie on.

And I either look like Kenny, or I look like the Emperor from Star Wars.

I cannot make it -- I don't. It's strange. But I can't make it cool.

Yeah. It's very strange.

BEN: Yeah. I didn't know that I could do it either.

The way it happened. We were film that portion of the rap, as I normally do. And I said, do we have a hoodie in the office.

Actually, we do. Somewhere in the back there, we have a hoodie that we want marketed. So I said, bring it out.

GLENN: I love the way you said it. Bring it out.

BEN: -- that is possible on Planet Earth right now. We have sold more of those hoodies. It's basically funding my entire mortgage at this point.

GLENN: That's funny. Hang on just a second. Let's play a little bit of the rap.
(music)
(laughter)
So funny. So funny.

BEN: The joy that my art brings to others, is really the reason I can begin.

GLENN: So, Ben, let's change the subject here for a second. What is the biggest threat to our country, right now?

BEN: I think the biggest threat to our country, is that there's a widespread conspiracy theory that is held on virtually every side of the aisle.

Which is that, success in a -- in a free market, free system, is somehow emblematic of exploitation.

You see mostly on the left. What basically what DEI is, is the theory, that the powerful in society control everyone else and that you can tell who the powerful are, by their -- by their success.

And then you can group them by race. And so DEI basically says, that if you're a white male, you're on the top of the power hierarchy. You're unfairly exploiting others. And, therefore, you need to be brought low.

That crosses with anti-Semitism obviously. Because once you start talking about groups that are disproportionately successful in the United States, you get into Asians, into Jews. It gets into really ugly territory.

But I also -- there are some elements of this on sort of the far right. The idea that everything is conspiracy.

Everything is a group of elites who are seeking to keep you under -- under the boot.

And success is, therefore, belonging to this elite cadre of people.

Now, it doesn't mean there aren't institutions that aren't run by people, who have your worst interests at heart.

The media are run by people who do not agree with your vision of America, the universities.

But we're talking broadly speaking. The implication that success is unachievable in a free market society, or in a free speech society. That is innervating to the American public.

It makes us see each other as enemies. It's really ugly. It's destroying us domestically.

I think it's destroying us in terms of foreign policy as well. That sort of -- it's that ideology, I think.

GLENN: So I tell you, I don't know exactly what you're pulling -- there's a couple of things, like this horrible ruling, I think. About Elon Musk. And the attacks on Elon Musk.

They're trying to destroy him. But that's because he doesn't agree with policy. I have no idea with people making money, and being successful.

My problem is with the elites that are. It's not a conspiracy. We know who they are.

The World Economic Forum, and all of the leaders around the world, that are saying things like we have to ban meat.

We have to -- we have to take control of private property.

And we have to do public/private partnerships.

I mean, those people, that's not a conspiracy. Is it?

BEN: No, I agree. That's why I was distinguishing between institutions that are absolutely doing it. And they're saying it openly. I distinguish between sort of the conspiracy theories, and the actual people saying it. The WEF is not hiding the ball. They're saying exactly what they want to do, and they're doing it out loud.

And they say, they control certain businesses. They control governments.

Again, they're doing it right out in the open. That's why it's not a conspiracy, when people say, the right is so focused on the WEF conspiracy theory.

It's like, that's not a conspiracy, when you just say the thing.

But that's a little bit different, than a sort of -- I think internalized sense that we're getting from a lot of Americans, on all sides. The political aisle.

That success is not possible in the United States.

Which I don't think is reality. I think success is possible. I think there can be institutional obstacles to that success that are largely discriminatory.

But, you know, again, this is an amazing country.

And I think it's worthwhile for us to remember. Just how amazing this country was. What makes it amazing, is the fact that we have a shared set or we used to at least have a shared set of Judeo-Christian values, and free market principles. That have created the largest commercial republic in the history of mankind. The most powerful military in the history of mankind, and the most powerful spreader of morality and decency in the history of mankind.

Like, we are all part of that project. There are obstacles to that project.

So they're not insuperable.

And I think telling people, that -- they will lose. Whatever is the next thing that happens politically, will cause them to be cast into the outer darkness forever.

I'm not a big fan of catastrophism in this country. Just, I don't think -- when we say, that the next election is the last election, I don't believe that.

I think it's really, really important. But I think it's also more important to build up from the local level. And I prefer that we all start to focus on that, as opposed to the catastrophic thinking, that if the next election doesn't go the way we want then Civil War is going to break out or something.

GLENN: Now, as America's leading catastrophist.
(laughter)

GLENN: I do feel like that was a little pointed.

BEN: I don't mean it to be. It really is not about -- it really is not about, you know, the idea that there aren't serious threats lurking around the corner. But I think that it's easy, and not just lurking, like here.

Listen, we live in a country where a percentage of the population, doesn't know the difference between men and female. And that's the serious crisis that's present right in front of us.

We're in a country, where, again, a significant percent of the population believes that free market capitalism is actually evil and wrong. It needs to be curbed.

That's a serious crisis right in front of us. I guess the point that I'm making. Is that in our personal lives, in our daily interactions, the things that we should be focused on, are what brings us success.

And I think that we can -- we can fight the crazies that are political, at the same time, that we build success from the local level.

And what I prefer conservatives to do. Is we can do both at the same time. We walk and chew gum. And I think there's been a lot of focus, that's been poured into there's a crisis that faces us. And, yeah, there's a crisis we have to fight. Because, otherwise, we won't be able to do things on a personal level, that we want to do.

But what I'm seeing right now, is people are feeling enervated about things like getting -- about things like getting a job. Or if I work hard, will I succeed?

And we have to keep saying to people, over and over. That if you work hard, you will succeed. We are going to make sure that nobody stops you from succeeding, if you work hard and make the right decisions.

GLENN: Okay. Right. I understand what you're saying there.

I'm surprised that you picked that. I'm glad you did. Because I hadn't thought of it the way you're thinking. I would say, most people right now, would say biggest thing, the biggest problem that we have to address quickly. Is the border.

BEN: Yes. On a political level, absolutely the border. 100 percent the border.

And when we're talking about the crises that face us right now. I think this is a crisis that defines not just this year, but maybe this generation.

Not just on America's Southern border. All over the world. This mass migration of peoples from areas that are not particularly friendly to Western values into places -- obviously breaking politics in Europe.

But the United States's idea that we can have an open border, that is being openly pursued by Joe Biden.

I mean, there's just no question that Joe Biden has crafted the policy that is specifically designed to keep our borders open.

I was just down on the border. And I was talking with the head of the Border Patrol Union.

And he was showing me the border.

I mean, we went 25 miles without seeing a single border patrol agent.

And that was in the area that did not have border gates. That did not have border wall.

That was on the Native American reservation in Arizona. And that place is so unoccupied by Border Patrol.

That when we sat there at night. We looked out the window of the car, there was a drone flying over us, monitoring us.

I assumed it was an American drone. It was not. It was a Mexican drug cartel drone, that was monitoring our car.

Because -- and it was on American territory. And I asked the Border Patrol agent.

Why don't you shoot it down?

He said, we would have to get direct permission from Alajendra Mayorkas directly, to shoot that down. So as not to create the international incident on the border.

So the drug cartels are in control of the border.

They are playing this game, that is fully taking advantage of what Joe Biden is doing. So to understand what Joe Biden has done.

The basic answer is: Joe Biden has now declared that if you say the magic words with regards to asylum, you will be allowed into the country.

Not only that, border patrol's first duty is to take you at the border.

And to process you and release you into the interior of the United States.

So what the drug cartels are doing, is they will literally drive up in a truck, yards from the border.

Unload a bunch of illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrants will literally walk across the border where we were.

There was a sign, with a button on it.
And if you push the button, it says, push for Border Patrol help.

Like they're bellboys. And you push the button. The border patrol all rushes over to do what Joe Biden wants them to do, which is busing and administrative duty.

That leaves the border wide open for the actual scary people. Because there are two groups of people, right?

There are people who shouldn't be in here, because they don't actually have legal asylum claims. They may be on the welfare system.

But they're not necessarily people who are seeking to do violent crime or smuggle drugs or something. And the drug cartels make money from coyote-ing them up, obviously.

But the drug cartels are making the real money from smuggling fentanyl over the border, from smuggling people with criminal records over the border, terrorists over the border.

And Joe Biden is leaving those swaths of the border completely unoccupied so that he can process more people who are claiming asylum.

I mean, it's not a shock that the criminals who beat up the cops in New York the other day, they were claiming asylum. That's literally what they said. They said, we are here. We are claiming asylum.

They don't have a legit asylum claim. And that's purely on Joe Biden. Because under Donald Trump, we had a remain in Mexico policy, which means, if you arrive at the border and said, I claim asylum.

You say, great. Now you wait in Mexico.

And then we will adjudicate your case, and then your case will be adjudicated. They wouldn't have an asylum claim, and they would have to go back home. Well, that's a pretty good incentive not to show up at our Southern border. Joe Biden has done precisely the opposite.

GLENN: Ben is obviously, with the Daily Wire.

And he has a new documentary out about his trip to the border, and shows you all these things.

And you can watch it on -- on the Daily Wire, if you are like me, and you are a member of the Daily Wire.

Ben, as always, great to talk to you.

BEN: I appreciate talking to you. And keep the spark alive, for the hip-hop in your heart.

GLENN: I will. Will do. Will do.

Thank you so much, Ben Shapiro.

STU: Quickly, if you are -- want to keep the hip-hop spark alive in your heart. And want to have the hoodie that you're wearing, where would you go to get that? GlennBeckMerch.com?

GLENN: Yeah. Thank you for saying that. GlennBeckMerch.com. Yeah. It is my hip-hop label. Sick, twisted freak.

STU: It's a good hoodie, actually.

GLENN: It's actually, we were just introducing them. They're the sick, twisted freak. For anybody who is -- a listener. A long had much time listener of this program.

You especially recognize sick, twisted freak.

A lot of new listeners are coming this.

Why is he calling me that. It's a term of endearment.

It really is.

Who is listening to this every day.

Except, somebody who is like, I -- you know what I mean?

So you can get the sweatshirt now.

It's available at GlennBeckMerch.com.

You know, I'm -- I'm a little upset. Not at Ben. I love Ben. But I'm a little upset at Tom MacDonald, who has been on this program before. And, you know, he's the weight behind Ben Shapiro. And speaking at weight, who is better at weight than me, really? Honestly.

And I'm thinking to myself, you know, Ben, you really missed the boat here. Tom, by going -- by going with Ben, and Ben is great and everything. But you missed the legend, okay. That I am.

I mean, I have been doing rap for, well, forever honestly.

STU: Really?

GLENN: Since The Sugarhill Gang.

STU: Did you precede The Sugarhill Gang?

GLENN: No, I was right there with the Sugar Hill.

You know, my own interpretation of rap, which Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro.
(music)
Facts.

Let's look at the stats. I've got the facts, my money like Lizzo, my pockets are at that time. Homey, I'm epic. Don't be a WAP. Dog, it's a yarmulke, homey, no cap.

Look at the graphs, look at my charts, you're blowing money on strippers and cars. Which really doesn't work.

You're going to go to prison, and I'm on television. Dog, no one knows who you are. Keep hating on me, on the internet. My comment section, all woke Karens. I make racks off compound interest.

You all live with your parents.

Nikki, take some notes. I just did this for fun. All my people download this. Let's get a billboard number one.

I mean, Tom, you could have had it. You could have had all that --

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.
