What is Black October? Glenn breaks down the newest tech term describing the last 10 days, which exposed a major flaw in the software that runs almost every website. What was the security flaw? A back door that allowed hackers to use cheap AI tools to break in and steal personal data from places like schools and doctors' offices. Glenn breaks down how serious this is with a digital DEFCON alert posture. Glenn reacts to a foreign campaign ad that says grandparents need consent before hugging their grandchildren. The family of Blackfeet Chief John Two Guns White Calf are asking the Washington NFL team to restore his face on the Washington Redskins logo, claiming that they were never asked before it was removed in 2020. Glenn makes a terrifying prediction if Democrats take back control of the House and Senate.
