Is THIS why Hamas choose WAR with Israel NOW?

How did Israeli intelligence miss an attack of this scale that Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah had allegedly been planning for the past year? What is coming next as Israel moves to possibly eliminate Hamas once and for all? And why did Israel's enemies choose NOW to attack? Glenn speaks with "The Terminal List" author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr, who believes the timing is no coincidence, especially since the U.S. was pushing to influence Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel. Plus, he and Glenn discuss how the United States should respond to the war.

GLENN: All right. Jack Carr is the New York Times number one best-selling author. He is the author of the Terminal List series. He's also a former Navy SEAL, and he's been digging into Israel and Hamas, researching a book that is coming out next year.

And so I wanted to give him a chance to maybe share some of the things that he's learned to give us some perspective on why now, what -- what is it this mean?

If Iran is involved, does that mean Russia is involved. What are we headed for?

Welcome, Jack. How are you?

JACK: Well, it's great to be here. How raw, sir?

GLENN: I'm very good. I'm very good. I'm not even an enlisted man. So I'm certainly not served.

So, Jack, the -- Israel thought -- they were duped. They thought that Hamas had been tamed some. They cared about, you know, making money, and taking care of their people.

And Hamas did a really good job. In reading some of the articles that are out now. Did a really good job of duping them into this.

But Iran seems to be involved, even though our president says, there's no evidence of that.

Is there any evidence?

I mean, that makes total sense. And what does that mean?

JACK: Oh, yes. There's a lot to unpack.

But really, the Israel that Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran was dealing with last week, that's a different Israel than they're dealing with today most certainly. And we talked about being duped into something that was really a form of quasi-tolerance. Meaning Israel had tolerated a certain level of violence from Hamas, and they thought they could contain Hamas. They could live with that certain type of violence. They thought Hamas was tolerable, containable in Gaza. Not today.

That has all changed over the weekend. But also violence perpetrated on Israel, is something they have never seen before at this -- in these numbers, grandmothers, children. Women. Killed, raped, tortured. And a friend in Israel, who is with the operation forces there, has been texting me throughout the weekend and the last couple of days here. And he said, what we're seeing in these videos that are coming out, is not even the half of it. It's so much worse than what they're seeing. And they're in the thick of it now.

GLENN: So you look at some of these things, and you see that 900 Israelis died. Some of them were Americans.

They died. In horrific ways. It was an execution squad, really. And a kidnapping squad. As we -- we watch these things, we have to understand, the -- the population is only 9 million people. Over in Israel.

So that's like casualties of 30,000 people being tortured and raped and killed here in America. This is a huge impact.

However, the -- the way Israel usually deals with it. I think what people don't understand is that it has changed. Normally, they will go and then as soon as they respond, then the world starts to say, oh, you've got to stop the killing. This is horrible.

I don't think Israel is going to stop this time.

JACK: I don't think so either. And for the last decade, they've had the same kind of policies towards Gaza, that have been remaining in effect. It has been semi-working. But I think that they're going to look at those policies, realize those policies were a failure. All they did was to set up Hamas to do what they did over the weekend. And, of course, there's a few wild cards in there as well. Hezbollah in the north.

There's something between 100,000. 150,000 rockets pointed right at Israel. If that was acceptable last week. I don't just that was acceptable for much longer.

Because soon that becomes 200,000 rockets. 250,000 rockets. 300,000 rockets. Eventually buying time, where there are enough forces to really do some damage in Israel. So I think things have shifted across-the-board. And Hamas will look at this as their most successful operation in history.

But, I mean, what this has been, an opportunity, is a horrible word to use here. But that's really what it is for Israel, to hit Hamas so hard, it will take them texting to recover. And I don't think you can eliminate them totally as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan over 20 years, of trying to get with different factions over there, in those two areas.

They can certainly set them back decades.

GLENN: So this is really -- if you look at some of the videos. They were beheading people. One with a garden hoe. This is the same kind of stuff we had from ISIS. What is the difference between those two, if there is any. And where is the connection to Iran?

JACK: Difference is where they came from. We talked about terroristic tactics. What that means, that's focusing on civilian targets. Not focusing on military targets. That's really what differentiates us from our enemy. And why it's so important for us to maintain that high ground. But the question is: Why now?

Hamas, and, really, by proxy Iran and possibly Russia, chose the time and the place of this engagement. So that's the question geopolitically. Why right now?

And the question is, because Israel is so divided, they have issues with their judicial and executive branch. And so they're divided probably like never before. US is very weak. The world, Hamas, Israel, or Iran, Russia, saw our withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Saw the billions of dollars towards Ukraine. See the division here. See our leaders in the White House.

So there's a lot of things on the table with just those things.

And then we have the Israel, Saudi Arabia, just on the brink of essentially like a trilateral type of agreement, that deals with oil, increasing production, decreasing price, and a defense pact. I

You know, I think that's what it really is. I think that's what it is on the surface. I have no insider information here.

Is that it includes defense by nuclear weapons. So it would make -- possibly make Saudi Arabia the first nuclear power, in the Middle East, aside from Israel who doesn't talk about that sort of a thing.

Because on the other side, you have Iran, Russia, and China. And China is Iran's largest trading partner.

Two years ago, they signed a 25-year strategic partnership. So it is in China's interests, and Russia's interests to have Iran as the dominant nuclear power in the region.

So there's -- those are the two sides right there. US, Israel, Saudi Arabia. Iran, Russia, China. But I think what this does. What this Hamas incursion does really, is just delay possibly this agreement. I think it's going to happen. It just delays it. We'll see how long.

GLENN: Where would they be getting the nukes?

JACK: From -- well, from the United States. Yeah. So -- and after I talked about this last night, on a news hit, and someone sent me an article from the times of Israel, in which Netanyahu, actually says that that's a possibility on the table. I didn't know that before.

But so that was kind of nice to see that last night after I came off the air. But really, nuclear supremacy in the United States is what's on the table here.

GLENN: So we don't have a good relationship currently with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Or do we?

JACK: I think it's -- it is -- you never know what you're looking at from the outside. But what's drastically and logically what's happening behind closed doors there. Is that US, Israel, Saudi Arabia are going to lead the way with this trilateral agreement to really change the -- the nature of the Middle East going forward.

So that's -- that's on the table. And, of course, Iran doesn't want that. Of course, Russia doesn't want that. Of course, China doesn't want that.

STU: So if Iran was behind this. Is Russia?

JACK: And really manipulate them to get what you want, at the -- at the larger, more established power. So you can almost -- I was going to say, you almost feel sorry, that they're manipulated like that. But that's the way of the world.

GLENN: So, Jack, as I've been thinking about this. I mean, Israel is one of our strongest allies. One of our best allies. They're the most like us in the Middle East for sure, and the only ones that I think, you know, would fight on the right side. The other side is Barbaric and evil, I think. And, you know, I hate to abandon Israel. But I also hate to get roped into a war with Russia and Iran, and possibly do the things they want us to do.

Because I think -- and you would know better than I. I think they're doing to us, what we did to the former Soviet Union. We're bankrupt them. We're dividing them from the inside. We're roping them into wars.

And everybody knows we're on the brink of -- of destruction here. What should we do to help the Israelis?

Because I also feel strongly, we need to help them.
JACK: Right. And I don't think the -- I agree with your assessment. But the division seems to be coming. It doesn't take too much to divide us. A little prod here. A little comment there.

But we're pretty good at dividing ourselves from the inside, which is absolutely heartbreaking.

Obviously at the end of World War II, we surprised the world by saying we were going to essentially defend trade routes around the world, that was going to be a benefit for all countries, coming out of the Second World War, and we just moved to carry a battle group, to send a very strong issue to Iran.

So our administration says, that there's no evidence linking Iran to the attacks. We did move a carrier to send a pretty clear message to Iran and in support of Israel. So that's something right there.

But we do move traps around the world, quite frankly. Obviously from the end of World War II, up to today, is the major way we project our strength. And really keep the world safe. And protect trade. Has worked up to this point. But now we're kind of retreating from that.

We don't have as many ships as we used to have. China is obviously building up their Navy. So things are shifting geopolitically in the world, as far as the military powers go. No doubt about that.

How long will that take? Not exactly sure. But there is a shift going on. What else can we do to support Israel?

I'm not sure they need much from us. Meaning we put a carrier battle group right there, if things do escalate, and Hezbollah does more in the North.

And something spills over into Iran. And then perhaps. But gloves are off right now.

Israel restraint is out the window.

They have restrained themselves over the last at least decade, towards Hamas. Maybe towards Hezbollah.

Ever strange now, completely out the window.

And Hamas has really thought that other insurgent groups, thought of Israel as an occupying nation, a colonial nation for lack of a better term. And they looked to the past, to the French Nazi area. They looked to the British in Kenya or India.

But the difference is, and for some reason, Hamas and other groups don't recognize this.

The French has France to go back to.

The British had Britain to go back to. Israel doesn't have anywhere to go. They're going to stand and fight. They have no other choice

NAFTA, their president. President Herzog, he addressed the nation in the weeks of the attacks. Concluded his remarks with something along the lines of, this time the state of Israel will win. We have no other choice.

GLENN: Okay.

Jack, I want to take you one more place. Hang on for 60 seconds.

And then I want to talk to you about our readiness as a nation.

In Land O' Lakes Florida, Tunnel2Towers Foundation is building a community called the Let Us Do Good Village, which will have about 100 homes for the program participants.

Now, there are already two families that moved in, a gold star family, and a severely injured hero who served our nation, and more will come.

This is a special place where families will be able to come together and heal. It's a place where their children can grow up and experience life together, and it's all thanks to an amazing donation for the land on which it sits.

Of course, it's also thanks to your generosity. The Let Us Do Good Village.

It can be the first of many communities all over the country like it, that this is your opportunity to help America's greatest heroes and their families heal together and grow together.

With every mortgage-free home. The foundation makes good on its promise to do good. And a never forget the sacrifices you're heroes have made for our country and our communities. Donate $11 a month, at Tunnel2Towers, T2T.org. That's T2T.org.

Ten-second station ID.

So the White House, we're talking to Jack Carr, said the president will struggle to help Israel replenish stockpiles of ammunition, as it gears up for full-scale war against the Iranian-backed terrorists in the back region.

The congressional official told the Wall Street Journal that they expect Israel to request advanced US-produced GBU 39 small diameter bombs.
Small arms. Ammunition. And 122-millimeter tank rounds, mortars, and more.

The officials said, being able to supply Israel with enough to mere interceptors to replenish their Iron Dome was most worrisome. And the biggest problem the administration will face.

How -- how -- how prepared are we, or are we just giving everything away?

JACK: Yeah. That's a great question. And one that our enemies are certainly asking. And certainly watching. They're seeing untold billions go to Ukraine, along with arms. And in other places around the world, of course, as well. Which begs the question: Well, how able are we to defend ourselves in a one-front war? A two-front war? A three-front?

And the answer to that, if you're looking from the outside, is we're probably not as prepared as a decade ago, two decades ago, even three, when we really draw down -- drew down at the end of the Cold War.

So the other side of this though, is that we have experience as a tactical level. We bring it at the strategic level. We have to be so adept with the senior level military leaders and politicians, even bureaucrats. But at the tactical level.

We have the most experienced force that we have ever had. Because that tactical level. Those E2s, E3s, E4s, E5s, E6s, E7s. Those officers who are now majors and lieutenant colonels.

They were once brand-new officers in '01, '02, '03, fighting in Iraq, fighting in Afghanistan. And they're coming up the ranks. They don't have as much to work with. But they have experience. So that's what we have. And that's something we need to capitalize on.

But experience without some of those tools. It makes things a little more difficult. So it's certainly something that we need to be aware of, that the next administration, needs to be aware of.

And if you want to capitalize on this experience, not let it go to waste. You want to turn those lessons we've turned in the last 20 years into wisdom, going forward.

Well, now we need to equip those soldiers, sailors, Marines. That have the experience. Sacrifice so much. With the tools they need to defend the nation.

GLENN: Jack Carr. Thank you so much.

When does your new book come out?

JACK: Next May. It's on the books right now. But my first non-fiction which actually has the Hezbollah connection. It's called Targeted.

My first non-fiction. 1983. Marine Barracks bombing.

GLENN: Wow.

JACK: It's coming out next fall.

So two books in the works for 2024.

GLENN: Great. Thank you, Jack. I appreciate it.
JACK: Thanks so much, take care.

GLENN: You bet. Jack Carr.

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.
