Could Elon Musk END the left’s 'CENSORSHIP REGIME'?

Thanks to the far-left striking against another private individual — this time the Libs of TikTok creator — Elon Musk's attempts to buy Twitter now is more important than ever. Glenn Greenwald, Author of 'Securing Democracy,' joins Glenn to discuss the far-left's 'censorship regime.' It has 'become a very powerful tool in the hands of the corporate media,' he explains, and it's one of the only tools they have to shut down voices that oppose it. Which is why Elon Musk — who Greenwald says wants to 'overturn the censorship regime and reinstate a framework of free speech' — is making the left PANIC.

So we have Glenn Greenwald joining us now. Hi, Glenn.

GREENWALD: Hey, Glenn, how are you?

GLENN: I'm very good, thank you so much for joining. I don't even know where to begin. I guess I want to start with Taylor Lorenz, and the Washington Post, exposing the person behind the Libs of TikTok. I would love to hear your opinion. Mine is, this has nothing to do with anything other than that particular thread was popular. And the Libs of TikTok was making it --

GREENWALD: And conservative.

GLENN: Right. And conservative. So it's got to be shut down.

GREENWALD: Exactly. You know, this is my view on it is: If you want to have some kind of journalistic debate in the abstract about whether it's newsworthy once a person accumulates a certain level of influence on social media and begins to do things like appear anonymously on cable shows, like she has on Fox. That it somehow is journalistically justifiable to tell the public, who the person is. Who has become so influential. I wouldn't agree with that. I don't think that's a proper way, especially for corporate giants. Media giants. Like the Washington Post. Owned by Jeff Bezos. To be spending their time unmasking private citizens. But if you wanted to argue that you can fit that within the definition of newsworthiness, that's something I could swallow. Even though I wouldn't agree with it. If it would be really applied consistently. Meaning that today, I could go and find out the real life identity of some popular trans woman, who has a following -- a big follower account on Facebook. And expose her. Even though she claims her anonymity is not necessarily for her safety. Or maybe tomorrow, Fox could send a camera crew to the homes of Taylor Lorenz' parents and siblings, in order to ask questions about her, the way she did, to the family members of this private person behind this Twitter account.

But, of course, that would never be permissible. If any of that happened, the media would have a complete meltdown. They would declare some sort of National Day of Mourning. If anybody did that to Taylor Lorenz or Black Lives Matter activists or a trans person on social media, this is nothing more than an attempt to punish private citizens for having the wrong political ideology. Under the guise of journalism. So this whole extract debate about what is newsworthy. It's just a fraud. It's a pretext to cover for the fact, that this is a political operation, designed to punish somebody for making their voice heard with views that the media dislikes.

GLENN: Is this any different than the Twitter story with Elon Musk?

GREENWALD: I think in a lot of ways, there are similarities, in that, one of the things that has happened. The censorship regime that has grown so quickly, on these Silicon Valley monopolistic platforms like Facebook and Google. And Twitter. You know, I think people have forgotten that the real cascade, the first time it was done, was only three years ago, in 2018, or 2019, when these corporations united and decided they were going to ban Alex Jones and Milo Yiannopoulos from the internet. Deperson them all at once. And most people cheered, because most people don't like those two figures. And they ignored the precedent. And we tried to warn them that the president was going to create a censorship regime. And I think what has happened, the censorship regime has become a very powerful tool in the hands of the corporate media. Because it lets them silence dissidence to their orthodoxies, and people who compete with them, who develop a large audience. Liberals of TikTok has a larger audience than a lot of media people do. She's more popular. She's more influential. They want to silence her. So I think that's one big benefit. But the other big benefit of it is it's become a very valuable way of propagandizing the public.

I don't know if you saw, I reported on it yesterday, a bunch of former intelligence and national security officials issued a letter denouncing attempts in Congress to rein in the monopolistic power of big tech by saying, it's important that big tech have this power centralized in their power. The sense of the internet. Because that's how we advance U.S. national security interest. And a lot of power centers, see this as an important tool to enforce liberal orthodoxy and to be able to punish and silence and censor and banish any dissidence from it.

GLENN: Let me switch again. Talk to you just about everything. You're so plugged in. I don't know if you saw this story, I'm sure you did. About the CIA tracking Trump phones, and this seemingly -- this seemingly goes all the way back to 2014. It's my understanding CIA cannot do that, inside of America. Does anybody care?

GREENWALD: I do not think they do. Because the reality is that the contrived and fraudulent scandal that to me natured U.S. politics for five years, basically during the entire Trump presidency, and the capable, which was Russiagate. Was cooked up by the CIA. They were the ones who wanted to manufacture that false political scandal, as a way of undermining and subverting a president who they disliked, who nonetheless had been elected by the American people.

And before the 2020 election, when they were so desperate, to ensure Trump wasn't reelected, they did the same thing.

The completely false and fraudulent claim, that the Hunter Biden laptop and emails that reflected Joe Biden's business activities in China and Russia, were Russian advertise information. Despite being a complete lie. Was used by big tech to censor that reporting right before the election. Was used by the media to discredit it. And that also came from the intelligence community. Because many of the same intelligence officials that I just said, signed that letter for big tech, were the ones who signed this letter that this was Russian disinformation.

For me, this is, Glenn, the most important and the most undercover story of the last five or six years, is the increasing use of whatever you want to call it. You know, the security state, the deep state. The CIA-led blob. That increasingly, their attention is not directed to foreign countries or adversaries, or even foreign populations, which by charter, where they're required to operate. But instead, is being -- the dark guards of these agencies are being used inward, domestically to manipulate U.S. public opinion. And U.S. elections. And I can hardly think of anything more dangerous, than discriminate unelected power factions in Washington now seeking a major role, in trying to dictate how the American public thinks, and how they vote. And the outcome of elections.

GLENN: So some of the reaction to some of these things. For instance, the Lorenz and the Twitter, you know, insanity over Elon Musk. Says to me, that they are afraid. Really afraid. And people are starting to wake up.

Are we starting to turn a corner, or is that wishful thinking? Where are we?

GREENWALD: Yeah. I think that's a great question. Because if you look at every metric, there is no doubt that public faith and trust in mainstream, large media corporations is at their lowest level ever.

Nobody watches cable news. Because they don't find any value in it. They don't trust the -- the hosts with one exception. Which is Fox. It still has an okay audience. But CNN and MSNBC are completely dying.

For all these new heralded liberal digital outlets, you know, Buzzfeed and Huffington Post, Vice, and all of those are completely collapsing.

I mean, they're disintegrating rapidly. They probably won't exist anymore. It's kind of like a complete consolidation where only the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal actually commend their audience.

So they know the public has completely turned against them. Then at the same time, what you see, the rise of independent media. You know, there's a time when I would say, just a short time ago, the most influential voice in the United States and the media was yourself.

Looking at your audience. And the influence that you have. And you still have a lot of that. I would say, now the most influential media person is someone who completely is disconnected from any media corporation, or even the discourse they produce. Which is Joe Rogan. If you look at the sites that are growing, as opposed to collapsing, the way mainstream media outlets are. It's all of the independent sites that promise free speech, that promise heterodox news.

And, of course, the people who work inside media organizations are looking at this, and they're petrified. And they want to keep hold of the only things they still have, which for the moment are the ability to censor the internet, using big tech platforms. So when Elon Musk comes and says, I want to overturn the censorship regime, and reinstate a framework of free speech, of course, they panic. That's one of the few weapons they have left, to perturb the little power they have. And also the ability to banish their competitors. People of independent media. Is also something they're really desperate to keep as well.

And it does make me optimistic, but at the same time, power centers don't lose power without a huge fight.

GLENN: Right.

GREENWALD: And even though Elon Musk is the most powerful or the richest man in the world. If he were really serious about buying Twitter and really serious about allowing freedom of speech, allowing Trump back on the platform. Allowing views that are banned now to be heard. I think he would be in for a kind of a fight from the media, from the intelligence community, from the government. Unlike anything he's ever seen.

GLENN: Oh, I agree.

And I will tell you, that I think we're dealing with people that kind of had the attitude, if I can't have it, no one will.

GREENWALD: Yeah. There's so much bitterness. And professional jealousy. A columnist at Substack. And a writer. Super interesting guy. Mostly on the left, Glenn. Very independent-minded. Freddie Dabor (phonetic) wrote an article about six months ago, basically saying that the reason that these people in the media are so vindictive and they love to destroy people's lives. Like you just saw Taylor Lorenz do, by unmasking this woman, to the applause of most of her colleagues is because they absolutely have a very miserable existence. You know, they work for gigantic media conglomerates. They -- these media conglomerates. Are not doing well. Nobody is consuming their product. Which means, the pay is bad. The work conditions are bad. They're required to turn out eight to ten kind of trivial, superficial articles, a day or 20 a week.

Just to keep the content bill grinding. They're reaching middle-age. They have no job security. No one trusts them. No one likes them. The work is unfulfilling.

That's why they're so angry. And I think a lot of it is exactly what you said. That if you find success, outside of their constraints, their corporate constraints, they despise you.

That's why they're so happy to see Julian Assange being imprisoned from his journalism, even though he's broken more major stories than anyone. Because she's he's not part of their club. And if you succeed like Joe Rogan has, or anyone else, you become their target. Because that's the only thing they have left is that anger and rage, about how the public has turned against them.

GLENN: You -- or, there was a Twitter story out from Jared Rabell (phonetic). He said, I boarded a plane today with my son. And mid-flight, the pilot announces that the mask mandate is over. Flight attendants pulled over their masks, sneezed directly into their hands, while screaming, this is MAGA airspace! My son turned to me in tears and said, I don't know what to do.

Then after posting that, he got messaged from the New York Times. A journalist. That said, I would like to talk to you over the phone about what happened on your flight this evening. Can you please give me a call at this number, or let me know how I can reach you. Hope this isn't coming too late for your day. Thank you. They didn't know that it was a joke.

GREENWALD: Imagine how completely detached you have to be from just basic American conservatives. Or just ordinary people who don't -- who aren't affluent liberals who live on the coast. To believe a story like that. That conservatives are so vindictive, that they would not only celebrate the elimination of masks, which is a very reasonable thing to do. But then to start purposefully sneezing into their hands, to try to declare this is my -- how much of a caricature you have in your head, about half the country, in order to believe that. The satire was, you know, extreme. It was designed to be immediately recognizable. And the New York Times reporter, believes it. Because that's what she believes about conservatives. So this gigantic breach we have between the elite, affluent, liberal, postal elites. And the entire rest of the country. At least in my lifetime. Has never been wider. And it's one of the main reasons why no one trusts them.

Because they live in a different world and speak a different language. And their lives are completely removed from those people's experiences.

GLENN: Glenn Greenwald. If you could hold for one more minute. I just want to ask you one more question.

And that is, what is the thing that we should really be paying attention to? What is the thing that is keeping you up at night, like this is so critical that we pay attention to. We'll do that in 60 seconds.

Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins books. The, you know, knowledge -- knowledge is power. And you need to really understand what's going on. Right now, they're blaming inflation on everybody. And you can blame inflation on the incredible spending, in Washington, DC. On both sides.

But the one that you really have to worry about is the Federal Reserve. People think, oh, the Federal Reserve. That's part of the government. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's a corporation owned by the biggest banks in the country.

They're bailing themselves out. They're -- they're printing money like there's no tomorrow. It is the creature from Jekyll island.

It is critical for every family to understand, what inflation is. How it works. What causes it. How you stop it. And what the fed's role is, in all of this. These books aren't going to last for long. I asked the Tuttle Twins, if they would make this one for free. Because I think every family needs to have it. It's the creature from Jekyll island. The Tuttle Twins. And you can get it now at TuttleTwinsBeck.com. While supplies last. The Tuttle Twins. And the creature from Jekyll island. TuttleTwinsBeck.com.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Glenn, I am -- I am torn on stories between SEL and what's happening in our schools, to our kids.

And The Great Reset. And ESG. I don't know where to go. What is the story, or stories that you think everybody needs to pay attention to this?

GREENWALD: Well, you know, we -- you could obviously make a case on multiple different stories, as sort of the most important. I come at it from more of a civil libertarian perspective. That's how I started writing about civil liberty abuses, on American soil in the name of the War on Terror. So for me, there's a second War on Terror, that has been launched. Not with -- with very little fanfare. In the name of January 6th, that is entirely domestic in nature. And it's entailing a whole variety of rollbacks of civil liberties. The way the January 6th defendants have decreed it. When you think of the January 6 riots has been, I mean, unprecedented.

GLENN: I agree. Yeah.

GREENWALD: And it's creating all kinds of precedence about being able to turn protesters into felons, about the ability to punish people for their political views. And then at the same time, we have an actual foreign war as well, which is ostensibly between two other countries on the other side of the world, which the United States is increasingly involved in. Biden announced $500 million today, every kind of ten days. There's another $750 million just flowing to Ukraine. Weapons being bought. Given to Ukraine.

GLENN: It's bad.

GREENWALD: And, again, whatever you think of that war. With each war, there's always civil liberties rolled back. Kind of suppression of dissent. And these two parallel wars. The domestic War on Terror, against the Trump movement, in the name of January 6th. And the war against Russia, that the West is waging, is making me very concerned about people essentially losing site of everything the government is doing.

GLENN: 100 percent agree. And I am so afraid, we are getting into a war. Of convenience here. To be able to enact all kinds of things. That, you know -- that we're collapsing our economy, at the same time. And this is only hastening that. It is -- it's an interesting time to be alive.

Glenn Greenwald. Thank you so much. We'll talk again.

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.
