Don't miss
Glenn questions why suspects in the UK air-base incident were released despite reported indications of Iranian involvement.
The brief
The program opens with a debate over plans for a large Muslim village, including a mosque, themed sections, and streets named after historical conquerors.
Glenn frames voting as a defensive choice, urging dissatisfied Americans to participate rather than risk what he describes as Marxist or Islamist movements gaining power.
The episode then turns to the Genius Act, where Glenn distinguishes its provisions from a central bank digital currency and rejects the idea that it authorizes the Federal Reserve to create one.
A UK air-base incident becomes the central security question: Glenn cites reported indications of Iranian involvement while asking why the suspects were released.
The discussion closes by revisiting whether authorities may have tracked the suspects to identify higher-level figures, while expressing distrust of British officials.
