There’s apparently a major national security threat that’s being hidden from the American people … but it sounds a lot like, “Russia, Russia, Russia!” Glenn reviews what we currently know about the threat, which is possibly a Russian plan to put nuclear weapons in space. But should we be concerned? Glenn and Stu point out the odd timing of the warning, which comes as Congress is debating another FISA renewal.

GLENN: Now, there is a giant warning that came out yesterday.

Excuse me. A giant warning about a national security threat.

It's Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia.

Now, the security threat is a weapon in space. Now, I've heard this story before. It's a space-based weapons system. And Russia apparently has it. And it's a national security threat.

It's a destabilizing foreign capability. And President Joe Biden should declassify all the information about it. Now, sources familiar with the situation, says that Russia wants to you put a nuclear weapon into space. Not to drop a nuclear weapon on to earth. But rather, possibly use it against satellites. It's very concerning. Very sensitive. It's a big deal. Wow.

Okay. So, Stu. Who made this -- who broke this news? What's his name? What's his name?

STU: Mike Turner. Mike Turner. Was it?

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Mike Turner, he's the chairman of the House committee. He would know.

He's also a Russia hawk.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Somebody that, you know, is for all the war and the spending. Against Russia.

So -- but let's not hold that against him. No.

STU: Well, you know, does -- he's -- I mean, my first instinct, hearing this, yesterday, was not that Russia is a good actor. Or that they are not threatening us with terrible weapons of all sorts.

But --

GLENN: They're an enemy.

STU: But the timing of this breaking news, seems a little suspicious, considering, that we are in the middle of this push for funding.

That would push back against Russia.

And it seems like when you're trying to get $60 billion through, this is a very convenient time to release this information.

Again, I'm not downplaying the threat of Russia.

I think it is real.

But that still -- it's hard to -- like, when it first came out. An immediate, imminent threat. Everyone is panicking.

As the leaks come out. Okay. They want to put nuclear weapons in space. But they're not in space currently.

It's not like, look up, here comes a missile. They haven't deployed any of this.

And also, even if they did deploy. It would be a threat against our satellites. It would be incredibly serious. But also not what was pitched at, as initially with the urgent release, and everyone panicking.

I don't know. It seems like the timing of it, is a tad suspicious, no?

GLENN: A little bit. Well, and you think that's because of --

STU: They want it pushed through $60 billion of funding. Of course, to do that, you need to recognize how big of a threat Russia is.

GLENN: All right. So let me give you another completely unrelated story.

Because that was my first thought. And I do think that plays a role.

But listen to this. The House of Representatives, have delayed a vote on reforming the controversial surveillance tool, shortly after lawmakers warned of a national security threat.

The chairman of the House of Representatives' permanent select committee on Wednesday, published a at the same time, requesting Joe Biden declassify information, regarding an unspecified security national threat.

We're all going to die. Congress had been considering a compromise bill to reform Section 702 of the FISA Act, but now the process has been postponed.

Quote, in order to allow Congress more time to reach a consensus on how best to reform FISA in Section 702, while maintaining the integrity of our critical national security programs. The House will consider the reform, and reauthorization bill. At a later date.

The committee has made available to all members of Congress, information concerning a very serious national security threat.

Wow!

Now, here's -- here is let's see.

I think this is Christopher Wray. I don't have the name of the person who said this. Boy, stories are written so horribly now. I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with the fact, that FISA is up for review.

Any time you start talking about FISA reform, you know, the Intel community has its way of bringing out the Bogeyman. Oh, that's -- Eli Crane of Arizona.

Huh. Now, that seems kind of important. Because how are things going on the FISA bill?

How are people feeling today, about the FISA bill?

Supposed to come up next week. And congressmen were ready to unleash the dogs from hell. On the FISA bill.

But now, because we have a national security threat. I mean, we've got to continue to spy on Americans.

You know, if we really want to know what's going on in space, with Russia.

Well, you've got to give -- you've got to give me leeway to spy on Americans.

Uh-huh. Now, is it possible that they're doing this?

Yeah. Absolutely.

Is it possible they're way ahead of us?

Of course. Did you hear about the new bombers?

These are great. The new B-52H Stratofortress, came out recently, and, well, it looks exactly like the one in the 1960s.

But, you know, it was -- it was redone. Well, that's not good enough.

We're going to redo the stratobomber. Now we have B-52Js coming out. So we have planes that are about 80 years old. That we are refurbishing, so we can fly them.

So you know, they're going to have something new, called instrument panel.

I don't even know how to describe it.

Instrument panels thousand. Without all the buttons, and the old gauges.

It's going to be like, you're looking at a glass panel. And they're all behind this glass panel.

The 1960, Stratofortress.

So the B-52s, will have that newfangled technology.

I think they call it like a computer screen or something. It's very technical.

So that's -- that's what we're doing.

At the same time, the Biden administration has put $1 million into studies, aimed at denying there are only two genders.

We're more concerned about the two-gender thing, than we are about our own security. We're more concerned about equity and inclusion, than our national security.

God only knows what's happening in the Pentagon now.

God only knows what is happening on our border today.

But you know what is really important. At you hear what happened in Louisville, Texas?

Can we just play this real quick, so you can see it, Stu.

This it is. This it is. That's a male teacher, showing up in a pink dress, pink high heels. And a pink hat. And he's -- he was ready to -- ready to teach. So in drag.

STU: How did that work out?

GLENN: Well, it's Texas. So I'm hoping not too well.

But then again, it's Texas 2024. So who knows. But let's make sure we study this, even more.

We really need to just pay attention to those things

We need to be on the cutting edge, of transitions.

Of gender mutilation surgery.

We have to be on the cutting edge of getting rid of our police.

And reimagining police work, entirely.

We've got to be on the cutting edge of this new idea, that there are no borders.

You know, I don't -- I don't understand how the big issue with Democrats is Joe Biden's mental capability. It's not his mental capability, that has destroyed the country. He's not running this.

He's doing an executive order about once a week now.

Who is writing that?

Because I don't see him going. I've got to -- sporadic.

Writing complex executive orders. Coming up with them.

No. Who is running our country?

We're being destroyed. Bit by bit.


STU: Just -- and, you know, not to put too fine a point on it here.

Are you supposed to wear pink in February. I mean, is that even appropriate.

Is that the right tone?

GLENN: As long as he wasn't wearing white shoes.

STU: Okay. Okay.

GLENN: If he's wearing white shoes, it would be a huge fashion faux pas. Ladies can wear pink. And look at that picture. Yes. Who looks at that and says, that's anything but a woman?

STU: It's funny, because one of the things that keeps happening, the news -- you mentioned the news does not write articles that make sense anymore. I can't even understand what's going on.

GLENN: I can't.

STU: The Houston megachurch situation that happened while I was out.

I was reading a New York Times story about it. And had no idea, about whether an actual man or an actual woman performed the shooting.

Because they kept saying woman, but then they said the male pronoun thing in Paragraph 12.

They eventually got to that after the Palestine thing in paragraph nine.

But like, I couldn't tell if they were saying, it was, actually, a woman. Or if it was a male, who identified as a woman. But they had to call them a woman.

And I went through this entire thing. And you know how I figured it out, Glenn? You know how I figured it out? If it was a woman or not.

I looked at the picture of the person. And immediately knew.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Knew immediately. It was a woman. Knew immediately what the situation was.

Because as a rational person with eyes. You can tell almost all the time.

So I don't know. It seems like one of those things, if the media was actually honest with us. We wouldn't know what's going on in these situations. But they're not. They're not.
