What is happening in France? Glenn comments on the ongoing political unrest across the seas and explains how it relates to what Americans are struggling with. Leftists are trying to claim the protests in France are fueled by angry college students, but Glenn explains how France’s street violence is actually being fueled by rising living costs, which are leading to unsustainable debt and political extremes, which are then being manipulated and encouraged by outside agitators. Foundation for Defense of Democracies Senior Envoy for Europe Simone Rodan-Benzaquen joins to break down how the riots in France stem from far-left impunity and failed immigration policy. Critics of President Trump are accusing him of being a traitor after making a diesel fuel deal with Russia, but Glenn points out the hypocrisy of that viewpoint. Glenn and Jason discuss the latest bombshell information given to them by DataRepublican, which exposes leftist organizers discussing how they’re connecting with "the people who give political legitimacy" and how they want to "brief governors." Was this summer the last time Glenn could take his children to see France before it fell? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 2026 midterm elections are not looking good for Republicans, journalist Mark Halperin warns. But is it time to panic? Is there still a way for conservatives to win? And is that even the best-case scenario for the Right, especially with the 2028 presidential elections in mind? Mark and Glenn discuss what Republican candidates must immediately start doing to combat Democrats who are hammering them on high gas and food prices, the war in Iran, and corruption claims. The Democratic Party is much weaker than it seems, Halperin says. But it’s not enough for Republicans to just condemn socialism while the DSA and Islamists take over the party. Mark and Glenn also discuss the Trump administration’s raid on Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in D.C., the real reason for Abdul El-Sayed’s popularity, and the Democrats’ new attempts to claim that Trump will steal the election.   GLENN’S SPONSORS            PreBorn: PreBorn invites mothers considering abortion to meet their baby through an ultrasound.

Glenn monologues on how banks are quietly denying services to customers who hold "controversial" political beliefs, labeling them "reputational risks."

A recent report accuses multiple banks of flagging words like “MAGA” and “America First,” alongside Christian organizations, pro-life groups, and firearms businesses, working alongside the Biden administration to target what they deemed “reputational risks.” Glenn warns that once this type of fascist behavior is accepted, it’s only a matter of time until everybody is put on a list for one reason or another.

Despite his radical Islamist connections, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) is ahead in almost every poll. Glenn explains why he believes El-Sayed will win his Senate campaign, largely fueled by young voters tired of seeing the elite get away with everything while they struggle to make ends meet. The European Parliament officially passed a resolution calling for an EU-wide strategy against “Islamist entryism” and the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Despite the resolution including no bans, critics are labeling it Islamophobic. Freelance writer and former DSA member Jake Altman joins to expose the true dangers that the DSA poses to America. Glenn takes a call from a Michigan citizen who shares how terrifying it is watching Abdul El-Sayed manipulate voters into thinking he’s a good person.

Is China shutting down its border after the pneumonic plague lab incident that led to multiple hospitals being quarantined? Glenn breaks down what China’s latest border move means and explains why nobody should panic. Glenn explains how socialism is like a charming but dangerous boyfriend, which always ends in disaster. Why do socialists think socialism will end differently this time when it’s always failed? New York City’s first lady, Rama Duwaji, proudly animated a portrait of a Palestinian artist who praised the intifada and Hamas and pushed Anne Frank diary denialism. Glenn explains how this shows how quickly history can be rewritten and how what was once unfathomable becomes palatable. Glenn tells the story of a Guatemalan girl who rose from the dead during her wake, showing that sometimes people are saved not by machines or doctors, but by those who refuse to give up. Investigative reporter David Steinberg joins to discuss the raid on Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home in D.C., what the raid could have been intended for, and whether anything will come of it.
