Did Senate Republicans Just CAVE on Cutting Inflation AGAIN?

“It’s déjà vu once again,” Blaze News senior editor Daniel Horowitz tells Glenn. While Senate Republicans are planning on cutting a few hundred billion dollars in their next budget, they STILL passed a $340 billion budget blueprint. “Everyone hates inflation,” Horowitz argues, “except, they don’t want to actually reform or cut anything that’s driving it … What’s causing the current and future inflation are these programs!” Meanwhile, President Trump is asking for a balanced budget. “Now is the time,” Glenn says, for Trump to demand of Congress: “you HAVE to find these cuts!”

GLENN: Daniel Horowitz, how are you?

DANIEL: Doing all right but it is Daja vu once again.

GLENN: Is there any bright side to what is happening with the budget, first of all?

DANIEL: I guess they are planning to cut a few hundred billion so it is better than nothing. Although it should be pointed out that republicans are going to spend another 200 billion that I think we all say we want. The military, immigration enforcement, and then you know, $4.5 trillion to extend tax cuts and another $2 trillion to enact Trump's proposed tax cuts which we shouldn't count at pending but in the short term we have to print more to deal with the deficit. This is the overall problem that republicans get themselves into. When democrats are in problem we say it is terrible. But when republicans get in, we are not on the same page. They don't understand the mutual exclue sievety of their arguments. If this is literally Obamacare 2.5. They hated Obamacare but loved the aspects of it that made it expensive. Everyone hates inflation but they don't want to reform or cut anything that's driving it. Right now, we are at a point where we cannot achieve our parents standard of living. It is that bad. According to DLS we are spending, a family of four, about $15,000 more a year than pre-COVID. The average family got $11,000 in sim stimulus checks but they are paying $15,000 more every year. Over the next 10 years $89 trillion in spending and that assumes there isn't a recession, no wars, and no disasters.

GLENN: That's unsustainable. Here is what nobody is talking about. First of all, the spending will lead to more inflation. We have got to get the spending under control. We also have to cut the regulation. We have to cut taxes and make them better than any place else in the world. We have to get serious or we are at the doorstep of the funeral home. We are already there. We are walking towards the casket. You cannot keep funding our debt. No one wants our debt anymore. And so interest rates on the debt are already at a trillion dollars a year. If we don't change our course it will be $1.5, $2 trillion, and then it is an out of control debt spiral.

DANIEL: And people forget where we have record treasuries to offload on the market, the nuance is rolling over at higher rates. Precisely that time there is decreased and ends. Central banks are buying gold. The yields are moving in the opposite direction. I think republicans have a golden opportunity. Let's say no one cares about kids and grandkids even though they say they do. This is a now problem. I think republicans have failed to communicate and complete their sentences that what is causing the current and future inflation are these very programs. When they say I don't want to cause any pain to the district. The pain of the cost of the living is greater than the amount of subsidies they are getting in welfare. I will tell you this notion there is a free pot of trillions of waste, fraud, and abuse divorced from significantly revolving or cutting major programs, is simply not true. We are lying to ourselves. We are setting ourselves up for failure.

GLENN: Well that's the one hope that I have because, you know, I am seeing the cuts. We are not anywhere close to a trillion. We should be cutting about $2 trillion at bare minimum. And not over 10 years. Over this year. Or just not going to make it. The one thing that I do have hope for is that maybe we going to really start shutting down agencies which isn't going to cut $2 trillion but it will begin to make significant impacts toward a trillion and two trillion. We aren't going to find half a trillion. Things like USAID won't be found everywhere. I was disappointed with the statement from the Pentagon that we will not make cuts but reinvestment we have to make cuts in everything. There cannot be a sacred cow.

DANIEL: No, especially if you want to fulfill the president's comment to wall off social security and Medicare. You could do that. But then you really have to go aggressive on housing and transportation. And then obviously Medicaid and food stamps. Trump's message if I were him it would be we are going to get rid of the foreign labor, and the 4.5 billion Americans out of the labor force working age to come back and join the economy, and lower regs, lower taxes. Why we are going to ease up welfare. There is no shortcut to that message. The waste fraud and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid is the third party gripping the mild man. We have to kid out the mild mild middleman. The notion you can have painless condoms in Gaza causing inflation. Those aren't it. That's a policy problem. Illegal immigration is a policy problem. That does have a physical cost. But that's not fundamentally where the money is. I think people are being dishonest and setting themselves up for failure. Hence when republicans come to craft the budget, we can't get them on board for $1.5 trillion in cuts over 10 years.

GLENN: Donald Trump says he wanted a balanced budget. This is so far away from that. I wish he would start pushing the political nuclear buttons on members of Congress. He has the clout and the nation's attention. He has the attention of the GOP. They know. The Mitch McConnell's of the world have now power. Now is the time to say Congress, I am going to explain to the American people that you can't find these cuts. You have to find these cuts. Now. He needs to be step up to the table and be the Donald Trump. This was the one black hole we saw in the first administration where he will start to implement this vision we are talking about. The cuts to the federal workforce reflect this sort of vision. What he needs to do is then connect the dots to legislative affairs and make it clear that this is the budget I want to come up beside it and then he has got to threaten primaries against those guys. What wind up happening is the opposite. He leads it to Congress. They are about to cut the things.

GLENN: The time to do it is now. Push Congress up against a wall. The minute she leaves in three years and 11 months, the minute he leaves, and if we lose to somebody who is not the same mindset, all this stuff is over. It is just reversed. The country cannot take these swings this far back and forth.

DANIEL: Part of where we are where we are is because republicans always said they had offsets. But when they are in power, they would backload the savings and frontload the increased spending whether it is tax cuts. And democrats come in, erase that with interest, and you are left with the bad and not the good. This is why you either have to front load the cuts or at least front load structural reforms or evolution to the state in a way that makes it harder for democrats to claw back. One Ic I had I would love to pitch is Trump doesn't want to dwell the debt setting. Congress has a low that we will increase the debt ceiling but the next time you need two 3rds of the state legislators to do it. That would bring the fight to the grassroots in the red states and finally make us make those decisions. Yes, democrats can come in and claw that back. Once you give that to the state it is a lot harder to do. We need enduring victories.

GLENN: I want to ask you about the regulations being cut. Are we cutting there deep and fast enough? Because Trump, I want success for America. And I believe in his plan. But it isn't going happen if we can't turn the economy back on. The economy we took a wrecking ball to it for the last four years. We were intentionally shooting it in the chest. We have got to make some bold moves. I want to take to you about regs and honestly, why are we just going for these tax cuts and they say, yeah, we will make these permanent. Why aren't we going for the 15/15/15 plan? More in just a second.

GLENN: Daniel, I don't know if you are following the cuts and regulations, et cetera, but have you seen any plan yet for de cuts in regulations?

DANIEL: Again, I think much like with the federal workforce, and the programs, a lot of this is the bigger more transformational change you will do is ultimately requiring Congress. I am thinking of things like, first of all, the entirety of the grand new deal but things like the 2005 energy act. Global warning needs to be excreted from the government. What republicans have done is this hybrid. Where, yes to drilling and oil and gas but at the same time we are going to indulge this global warming lie and subsidize the economy that crowds out real energy sources.

GLENN: Stu, give me the stat you gave me earlier.

STU: Since 2000, we have gone from 76.8% of energy from fossil fuel to 76.5%. We have improved 0.3%.

GLENN: Don't call that a scam.

DANIEL: But we crowded out you can imagine the hundreds of Billions of dollars of misallocated resource. Trump promised to get rid of the new green deal. Why isn't that in the budget reconciliation? A lot of republicans love it in their district. Electric vehicle plans or solar panel transmission lines. Nobody wants to sacrifice anything for a net good.

GLENN: We have seen 30 days of what I think has been miraculous. I have never seen a president move this fast. But we are new the point where the rubber has to neat road on significant changes. And Donald Trump knows this. He told me. I have a 100 days to get all of this working because if I don't the economy isn't going to turn around by the mid terms and that will kill us. The only way to do that is to make massive cuts. The inflation is just going to go higher and hire and massive regulations and taxes. I think the republicans think that it is a I don't know a smorgasbord where they can pick and choose. No, no, no. All of this is one meal. If you don't have one of them it won't work. Am I wrong?

DANIEL: I think that's a brilliant point. Republicans have done six rounds of tax cuts. Every time they come in they cut taxes but forget the other half. We are paying the piper. Back then we were like a young teenager and able to get away with it. Eat that $230 billion in annual interest on the debt. For the last 15 years before COVID we had pretty low inflation. That is over with. To me there is four legs to it. The regulatory action is spending taxes. And I think we feed need to wean them off foreign labor. Think about all these federal workers. A lot of agencies are going have computer techs that are cut. You try finding a job where every company only hires in India.

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...

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.
