Russia’s MISSING nuclear submarine is capable of doing THIS

Glenn shares two news stories involving U.S. safety at sea that show how today’s current events may mirror those that led up to World War II. One of those stories, which involves a Russian nuclear submarine NATO recently said has ‘disappeared,’ will likely TERRIFY you. Glenn details just how powerful this missing submarine can be…

GLENN: My job is to warn you of things, that are coming. I don't think it is to tell you how to fix it. Although, if you -- well, let's talk about this. Are you a long-term thinker, or a short-term thinker?

STU: Try to be a long-term thinker. Many times, particularly at meals, I'm a short-term thinker.

GLENN: Yes. Okay. Me too. Ice cream is in front of me, very short thinking. Goldfish thinking, okay?

But if you're a short-term thinker, this next segment, your mood is not going to improve much.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: If you're a long-term thinker, in half an hour, your mood is going to improve a great deal. Because I don't have an answer.

Yesterday, I several times gave you a warning about something. And lo and behold, an answer appears, to show you a way to make that happen. And he'll be joining me, in just about 30 minutes.

So don't go anywhere. Now, do you ever remember merchant Marines?

I was a merchant marine. When I was a kid, I didn't even know what that was. What the hell is a merchant marine?

Is that some sort of offshoot of the marines? No, it was just someone working merchant ships. Merchant convoys. What are those?

Those are just like the big, you know -- those big, huge ships, that come in, with all the cargo on the back of it. Cargo ships. Those are merchant Marines, that are running those things.

Okay. We had a problem with merchant ships, back in the 1930s.

As things progress with the Russian war, the more this thing echoes, the buildup of World War II, I think we're somewhere between 1936, and 1938.

The invasion of the rhyme land, and the invasion of Poland. But it's interesting. Because headlines this week, have shown that a cabinet level secretary of the United States, has called for merchant convoys and armed escorts for the L&G ships going from the U.S. and Europe. That's natural gas or propane, okay? It was the Secretary of Energy, asking the Secretary of Defense, to provide increased security for private Naval vessels. Did you know that?

Now, they didn't use convoy, or escorts. But just want to make sure that the Pentagon is providing some security for these carriers, that are on their way to Europe. And they need increased security.

Now, how are we going to increase security, for liquid natural gas, with 80,000 tons of displacement, and by law, they can carry no armaments. No defensive system of any kind.

See, this is why Nord Stream was so serious. Because it's a private infrastructure. And if the Russians claim we did it. Then they can claim, well, our private infrastructure, is a target as well.

So the Naval responsibility, for all of our shipping responsibility, in the Atlantic Ocean, falls to a carrier group. A brand-new carrier, the most sophisticated carrier ever. The Gerald R. Ford carrier group.

You know, Gerald R. Ford does not instill confidence in me.

Now, this has been at sea trials, for the last two years. It's the newest of our carriers.

And it's been, some would say, plagued with issues. For their launch system. The electromagnetic launch system.

The elevators.

The radar system. It comes out of Norfolk, Virginia.

So riddle me this. Is it a coincidence, that suddenly and a few months early, based on previous announcement, the Gerald R. Ford has suddenly been declared, oh, it's combat ready?

Oh, no. You know what, we're going to deploy it. What time is it? Soon, in the Atlantic for the very first time.

When did they announce that? Literally the day after Secretary Granholm said, we need increased security in the Atlantic.

Suddenly, you know, the launching system and the radar, and all of the -- no, it works.

It's miraculous. You know what, it was just a lightbulb that was out. We just had to switch that one light. It's like a Christmas tree. We switched that one light bulb and everything went on. It's fine.

STU: Fixed the one light bulb, and all of a sudden, missiles hit their target.

GLENN: Right. Right.

Best guess is, this is all quietly and informally, the U.S. Navy, conducting training exercises, and they're going out and they're just coincidentally. They're just going to be doing a lot of these things.

You don't ride up next to the natural gas ships. That's it. U.S. Navy will open up, dedicated channels with L and G shipping companies. And they will proactively report any security concerns. Or unknown radar or sub contacts. And it won't be surprising if Shell and Chevron and Exxon all quietly decide, you know what, we'll sail right next to that carrier group. You know, it's great.

We have things to see. Ocean is a big thing. We don't see much. So we're going to do that.

Just watch the movie Greyhound. It's on Apple. Tom Hanks was in it. About the Allied convoy running through German U-boats. See, it's on Apple. You can watch it. It's really good.

But that's how it was happening in World War II. Submarines were coming out and sinking all the things that we were sending to Europe.

Which brings me to another coincidence. Oh, man. You're -- you're just not going to believe this. But one of Russia's nuclear-powered submarines has reportedly vanished from its arctic harbor.

And NATO says, it's concerned, it could be gearing up to test its advanced weapons systems. Now, it's in the Atlantic.

And it's a submarine. Pay no attention to the last story. Because it's really great. Advanced systems, in fact, the system is called the -- you're going to love this.

It is the Poseidon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's called the Poseidon. The missile system. But it is -- it is known as the Armageddon weapon.

I love that. Oh, yeah. So what is it?

Well, the submarine is -- is top shelf, brand-new. And it has the Poseidon torpedo, which is a nuclear torpedo. And this torpedo, is kind of strong.

I mean, just to put it into perspective, put it into perspective, for you, fat man, the fat man nuclear bomb, dropped on Nagasaki by the United States.

That was 21-kilo tons. Remember that?

Vaporize. Okay.

21-kilo tons. So a mega ton, is 1,000 kilo tons.

So what we dropped with fat man, was 21-kilo tons, so it would be 21,000 mega tons, right?

I think -- I -- it's a lot. Okay? It's a lot. 21-kilo tons. A mega ton is 1,000-kilo tons.

The estimates on the weapon of the apocalypse. Have ranged from two to 100 mega tons. One hundred mega tons.

Now, that's a lot. That's a lot. But here's the thing: They're not missiles like you know them to be missiles that just go up into the sky, and then vaporize the city.

These do something special. They're Poseidon. And so they are like drones, except not in the sky. They're underwater.

And these drones can go down, be launched from the sub. And then go down, and sit on the bottom of the ocean, let's say by a shoreline.

And one of them would do it. But they can launch many of these from one sub. And they all sit up and down the shoreline. And then they wait for the signal. And when the sub gives them the signal, they blow them up.

And it's capable of creating a 1600-foot tidal wave.

Now, the bad news is, wipe a lot of people out. The good news is, in some ways, I guess man made climate change, you know, affecting the oceans. When man puts something down. That's 7,000 degrees instantly.

Going to wipe out the shorelines.

STU: I'm against that kind of climate change for sure.

GLENN: I am too. I am too.

So they lost that submarine. It's out there some place.

STU: Well, they watch it.

GLENN: They were watching it. And then it disappeared. I love that. Coming from NATO. And they say. And this is a quote.

It disappeared. I don't think it disappeared. I would like you to try for another word.

Because I don't think it disappeared. I think you weren't watching it.

STU: Right. We were all turned around. There was a cake. There was a birthday that day. Everybody was singing happy birthday.

Candles blew out. We turned around, it was gone. And that new employee Vladimir, he had a happy birthday, but we did lose the sub.

So I would like to think, that maybe this submarine is out just -- you know, just trolling the waters, looking for the natural gas, that we're shipping.

But that's not what it does best. Not what it does best. So hopefully, their systems will work as well, as our catapult on the USS Gerald Ford.

STU: It's funny. I feel like people are acting crazy all the time. This is just a general idea -- general sense of the world right now.

Is that people are acting crazy. Part of that might be the craziness of the world.

Right? Like people are really unsure, as to what the future holds.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Unsure how to stop it. Unsure how to react.

There's nothing solid right now.

GLENN: Right. Whoa. It's almost like everything you thought was solid, is liquid.

It's true. You don't know -- you don't know any norms anymore. People are afraid to have conversation.

Because they don't know, and I have to say something that somebody all of a sudden is offended. And then my life is over. It's really not a good thing.

But the good news is, we've gone through this before.

The world has gone through this before. It doesn't usually end well. But in the end, good things happen.

In the end, after it's all over, good things happen. You just have to get to the other side.

EXCLUSIVE: Chip Roy Explains His FIERY Rejection of Spending Bill

According to the media, there’s a big fight going on between Republicans over the House’s new slimmed-down continuing resolution spending bill. Some, including President-elect Donald Trump, wanted the bill to pass. But others, like Texas Representative Chip Roy, argued that it still wasn’t ready. However, is the Republican “unity coalition” really crumbling, like the media claims? Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn to explain what’s really going on. He argues that he IS trying to give Trump and DOGE a 100-day “runway” to fix the country. But he makes the case that, by increasing the debt ceiling by $5 trillion without agreeing on other cuts, this bill gives bad actors the ability to be an “obstacle” to Trump’s agenda further down the line. Plus, he reveals to Glenn that he believes some of these bad actors LEAKED false information about his stance to Mar-a-Lago.

GLENN:

I think we have a great opportunity today. To show you how to have a -- tough conversation, with friends, friends. Where you deeply disagree on something.

But you know that their intent is good. They know my intent is good. Or our intent is good.

And we actually have the same end goal, but we disagree on the path. And we're going to walk away friends.

Chip Roy is joining us today. And, Chip, I love you. And I always will. And I agree with your, we've got to cut spending. We have to. But Liz Wheeler is with me. And we've been talking about it all morning. It's the -- the -- the -- the system of DOGE and Trump, the call-out to the world, in saying, you've got to surrender the Capitol. You know, the bad guys are in and about to take all the money.

Surround, and tell them, come out with your hands up. And that happened. And we scored a massive win, in an entirely new way.

Ask then you stood on principle, one we both agree with.

And it failed!

And so here's -- here's what Liz and I were talking about. Here's what we want to say to you.

And then get your response.

LIZ: Hi, Congressman Roy, this is the way I see it. I want your take on it. I love you. I think you're one of the best members of Congress. I disagree with you on the process that's happening. And I think that is the difference. The process. We elected Donald Trump to be a disruptor. Because Republican members of Congress for decades have been telling they're fiscal conservatives. They want to decrease the debt SEAL. It hasn't happened.

It hasn't -- it hasn't been done. And so Donald Trump comes in with Elon Musk, and uses this DOGE process to first identify these pieces of garbage in the first 1500-page bill. And take those things to the people. We took them to members of Congress. Congress said, okay. We'll listen to you.

So that new process was very effective.

And my question to you is: Once that process was proved to be effective. Which I think is exciting and wonderful.

How do we bridge this divide, with you, to say, okay.

Let's put some faith in this new process. And trust Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the Dow Jones process, to eventually address the debt ceiling, but get this done right now?

GLENN: And not blind trust. Chip.

CHIP: So appreciate you guys. Appreciate being on the show. Particular order. I have to go through a couple of things.

GLENN: Yep.

CHIP: Number one, it's important to remember that my job and my duty is to the Constitution, to God, and the people I represent. I told them, when I came to Washington, I would not -- I would not let the credit card and the debt ceiling and the borrowing of the United States without the spending restraints necessary to offset it.

GLENN: Okay.

CHIP: Right now, all we have are promises and ideas and notions. What I know, that neither of you respectfully no, and that none of your listeners respectfully no are the people that are in the room, that I was in with yesterday. And the day before, who are recalcitrant.

And do not want to do the spending cuts that we need to do.

That I believe the president and the DOGE guys. And everybody want to do.

My job, is to force that through the meat grinder. To demand that we do our damn job. Okay?

GLENN: Okay. So hang on. Okay. So wait. Wait. You're right. You're right. You're right. Go ahead.

CHIP: Number thee, when we were going through the bill, I'm glad the bill dropped from 1,550 pages to 116 pages. Three-quarters of Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it, have been out there spreading false facts that we supported a bad bill and didn't like the better bill.

That's not true. But let's be Lear. The 1400 pages that were cut out. It's a panacea.

There were some good stuff in there. There were some bad stuff in there. There was a lot of disinformation.

There wasn't a $70,000 pay raise. There was a 3,000-dollar pay raise.

I didn't support any pay raise. I didn't support a lot of the stuff in there.

But there's a lot of misinformation. And here's the thing: The 116 pages that were left, and I opposed violently the first bill. I was leading the charge on fighting and killing the first bill.

GLENN: And I love you.

LIZ: The second bill for 116 pages. Turned off -- turned off the pay go requirement. That we slash 1.7 trillion automatically.

And added a 5 trillion that are increase.

My view was, I could not support that, without a clear understanding of what cuts we would get, in mandatory spending next year. And undo any of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The undoing of the student loans. The undoing of the crap with the food stamps.

And everything else. I yield back.

GLENN: Okay. I yield back.

Chip, you're not in a hostile room. We love you. And we agree with your end goals. It's our end goal too. We didn't make that promise that you made to the people that voted for you. So we have more wiggle room here.

But you say -- I think our big difference is, you say, I know the guys in the room.

You're right. You do. And we -- we ceded that earlier today on the show.

You are -- one of us is wrong on trust.

I don't trust any of the weasels in Washington.

But I think Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have earned enough trust, to get a grace period, here for the first -- maybe the first year.

Or at least six months.

To turn the economy around, and also reduce the size of the government.

And totally flip this thing.

And I know, as somebody who is -- you know, run a company, mainly into a ground. But run a company, and have to switch it, in the middle, and totally reshuffle. That -- that actually costs money, while you're doing it, to bridge the gap.

Because you have to fill up holes while you're filling in the gap.

You don't trust the people in the room. Neither do we.

But we do trust the system that worked on Wednesday with DOGE and Donald Trump.

Where do we disagree?

Can you give them --

CHIP: We don't disagree. And yesterday morning, I was making that precise argument in a room full of conservatives and then a follow-up room with people who will call it, less conservatives.

GLENN: Republican. Yes.

CHIP: And so we were making this argument. And then someone infamously. Something leaked out of the room, somehow out to Mar-a-Lago. That I was being resistant. Because I was negotiating trying to get the agreement to achieve the objective that you just said. I was trying to get, okay. In fact, yesterday morning, I made the argument to a group of conservatives. We need to give the president runway. We need to give him his first 100 days. We need to appreciate JD, and Vivek, and all the people -- and everybody involved. For the president to achieve the objective.

But to get there. We have to make sure that the guys in the room, that are an obstacle to that, don't have the ability to block it.

Because information flow matters. And when those guys tell the president, they can't achieve X.

Then the president will not achieve X. Our job was to force and demand, guys, we need actual understanding of what the cuts will be.

And because otherwise, we're asking us to accept a 5 trillion-dollar limit in our credit card increase. In exchange for nothing!

Literally, in exchange for nothing, but -- but hope.

So our job was to force that change.

Unfortunately, while I was trying to make the argument that we needed something in order to get the votes, someone leaked that down to Mar-a-Lago, and the president reacted.

But now I have to now manage that.

GLENN: Right. I know. I know.

CHIP: They're trying to enforce change in town.

GLENN: So hang on.

We have to leave this. Because I'm going to run against the clock.

I could talk to you all day about this. You were in a meeting this morning about J.D. Vance. Can you tell us anything about that meeting?

CHIP: That meeting happened, because despite what happened yesterday, I'm trying to get this done. Last night, talking to JD, we worked to get this meeting done. We had some good progress this morning.

But there still remains people concerned about spending. That we can work out, what agreement we can reach. On what spending cuts. We can actually get next year, in exchange for giving the vote on a debt ceiling increase.

So it remains fluid. Progress was made. But we have to keep working on it.

And I left that meeting to talk to you. Soil get an update in a minute.

GLENN: Thank you for that, by the way.

I hear there is a new bill that may be coming today.

Is that the one you're talking about?

Or is this another bill that could be another nightmare?

CHIP: Despite other people leaking crap, I refused. I can't say, because it's not been decided by the speaker.

And it's not right to talk about things they're talking about in private meetings.

GLENN: Yeah, but it's -- it's this speaker. I mean, is he really the speaker anymore, Chip, really?

CHIP: We need to hear what bill we need to get forward. And I can't talk about the private meetings. But, look, I'm going to keep fighting for what I promised people that I represent.

I'm going to fight to cut spending. I am going to represent article one.

I'm going to support the president's agenda, but we've got to do that together.

GLENN: Okay.

Chip, thank you.

I think we can -- I think we agree, but I await to see what that means to you. Because we may just have to agree to disagree on this.

But I love you. And I still want you to replace Cornyn.

CHIP: The short version is, for inflation's sake, we cannot increase the debt ceiling $5 trillion without knowing what we're getting for it.

And I don't think anybody should disagree with that.

GLENN: But you don't disagree that Elon Musk and Trump and Vivek are serious about gutting the system.

CHIP: I believe that is their objective. I believe there are obstacles to that objective. And I need to know the sincerity of how we deal with those obstacles, both structural, and human. And we have to figure that out. And that's my job.
