We are less than a week from the 2024 election. In 2020 at this time, Glenn was busy warning about some of the dirty tricks the Left was “war gaming.” It involved everything from mass protests and street demonstrations to secession. Serious Democrats in positions of power and influence were strategizing behind the scenes. And in 2024, they’re doubling down. Glenn warns that we need to start preparing for what happens if Donald Trump wins on November 5 or if the race is close. Marc Elias, the Democrats’ main lawfare operative, has already declared that this election year is “the most litigious in American history.” Kamala Harris has bragged that they have “teams of lawyers” at the ready. Democratic congressmen have hinted they might not certify the election if Trump wins. And the media is declaring that Trump might try to steal the election. Asra Nomani, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and “Woke Army” author, has been tracking the foot soldiers’ plans for the election and the weeks after. She says Trump MUST win by a landslide or the fight “will go from the courts to the streets.” She uncovered an orchestrated effort by progressive institutions and organizations that are getting support from “like-minded ideologues in China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea.” Their end goal? CHAOS. Glenn asks a final, chilling question: Are the Left’s election war games connected to a recent revision in DoD Directive 5240.01 that addresses the use of "lethal" military force against Americans? Whatever may happen, Glenn is sure of one thing: Americans MUST VOTE as soon as possible. We cannot stay silent.

PROPAGANDA EXPOSED: No, Trump didn't call for Liz Cheney’s execution
Some in the mainstream media are claiming that Donald Trump (who survived 2 assassination attempts) called for the execution of former Rep. Liz Cheney by firing squad. But Glenn and Stu review the clip and explain why that’s an outright LIE. Trump was clearly suggesting that Cheney wouldn’t be a “warmonger” if she actually experienced war herself. But the media has become a propaganda arm for the Democratic Party, so it will keep on lying its way to the election …

GLENN: I was thinking about the Liz Cheney thing you talked about earlier.
Where Donald Trump -- who would have thought, Glenn. That, by the way, the source of all violent rhetoric was the person shot on stage?
It's odd!
Really, Shyamalan-esque, with that twist.
GLENN: Really weird. That's the only reason they're making a big deal out of this.
That and -- that and they want to say, he's a fascist, that will shoot everybody who disagrees with him.
STU: Right. It just seems like a strange approach, to say, well, you know, our closing argument is? He is going to shoot Liz Cheney!
He's almost been shot multiple times in front of our eyes. It doesn't seem like the right approach.
GLENN: And he wasn't given a gun, by the way. He was recommending -- he was talking about war.
Give her a gun. And have nine rifles, you know, target her.
Let's see how she feels then.
He's talking about war.
STU: It's a very standard. Honestly, liberal talking point about war.
And Trump has been this way consistently for a very long time.
He probably made that same point about Bush and Cheney in 2004.
Right?
I mean -- but I was thinking about this, as everyone was doing the Liz Cheney thing. And she's on stage, campaigning with Kamala Harris everywhere.
Can you imagine. We all have a use for a time machine.
Okay?
Sure, going back and killing Baby Hitler is something you might do from it.
But one thing I have to put in the rotation. If I had the time machine. Go back to 2004, 2005, and just tell Dick Cheney, what is going to happen in 2024. That he and his daughter are going to be the heroes of the left. What a freaking bizarre thing!
GLENN: Oh, he was Darth Vader.
STU: He was the most hated person in the world.
GLENN: He still is Darth Vader to them.
STU: Now that he's endorsed Kamala Harris. I don't think that is --
GLENN: You think he's going over to dinner at people's houses? You think they fully embraced him? No way.
STU: I don't know. Maybe. I kind of feel like --
GLENN: Of course. They're for -- they're for big business now. I mean, they are everything they ever said they were against.
STU: And I feel like, you know, the -- Dick Cheney's comments have been. He did endorse Harris.
Which is incredible.
GLENN: Incredible.
STU: But, you know, his comments weren't -- haven't been as egregious as Liz Cheney's. Who, again, we should remind everybody.
It's not like a Never Trumper. It's not like the person who is like, I don't know about this.
Liz Cheney voted for Donald Trump in 2020! This is a person who wanted Donald Trump to be president right now!
That was her vote. And here she is, as the most -- she's gone completely off the reservation. And I was thinking, how many -- how many of these stories can we tell like this?
Roseanne Barr would be one of them. Roseanne Barr couldn't stand you at one point.
GLENN: I don't think we need to --
STU: She's not on the phone yet. I can talk about this. She's probably asleep.
No. But she -- is it Arguing with Idiots.
GLENN: Yeah. Here it is. Here it is. Glenn Beck, he's a vampire and a death lover. That's what Roseanne Barr said about me.
STU: Right. It was used about, we always put quotes on the back of these books. Keith Olbermann. You know, many of these people still hate you.
GLENN: I'm proud.
STU: Whoopi Goldberg. Which, by the way, called you a lying sack of dog mess.
GLENN: Yeah, she's a piece of --
STU: Keith Olbermann.
Only in his wildest dreams could an actual suicide bomber hope to do as much damage to this country.
There's all sorts of great stuff like this. And we do this for several books in a row.
Roseanne was one of them. I want to say, RFK Jr. was another one, on one of the backs of the books.
GLENN: Oh, yeah. No. Yeah, I think he called for my execution.
STU: Well, he did want you dead at one point. I don't think he does anymore, though.
GLENN: No, he doesn't, and I kind of liked him!
STU: Yeah, it's just -- it's weird how this stuff happens. It really is.
GLENN: It is. That's what we were texting back and forth, yesterday, Roseanne and I. And I was like, weren't you a Communist at some point?
Didn't you -- weren't you, hey, go Marx!
And she was like, no, I went to the Occupy Wall Street thing, to see what they were doing.
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: And she said, and everybody roped me in to that movement.
She said, I saw them as rich kids, protesting daddy, who worked on Wall Street. She said, I hate the corruption in the big businesses.
She's like no commies, man. I want a return, right?
STU: I don't think that's right.
GLENN: I know!
I think that's revisionist.
STU: We will have to ask her about this. If my remembrance is correct here. She ran for the green party nomination, and did not win it. And actually did wind up being the nominee at the peace and freedom party, which is legitimately to the left of the Green Party.
It is an outward Socialist Party!
Now, a lot of people, sometimes you take a nomination because it's convenient. They've got a ballot and a line somewhere.
That stuff could happen, so it could be something like that. I don't know. But that's what I remember from the situation. You know, but who knows?
GLENN: Now she's the queen of the garbage people.
STU: That's crazy!
GLENN: I know. Crazy!
STU: Tulsi Gabbard.
Tulsi Gabbard was running Bernie Sanders' campaign in 2016 in Hawaii.
GLENN: By the way, I will take -- I will take one Tulsi for the entire Cheney family. That's a good trade.
STU: I like that.
I will -- some of these figures, that we've been embraced, I'm not a big fan of. Tulsi I like though. She's just really -- she's smart. I like how calm and balanced she is.
GLENN: Yeah.
STU: Even though, I don't think I agree with her on a lot of things.
And I am, I will say, concerned if Trump wins. That some of these people will have roles that are a little bit too large about --
GLENN: You know what he said about RFK?
STU: Yes.
GLENN: His people came out and said, he's not talking about a cabinet position. And he said RFK doesn't want one. He will put him in charge of studies and coming back, show us what the problem is.
STU: But what I liked about Trump's comments on this. Is I don't want him anywhere near the environment. Good. As long as --
GLENN: Good. And he's openly saying it. He's not trying to convince anybody -- which I absolutely love.
Let me ask you.
Who is the brain trust around Kamala Harris?
STU: I mean, it's --
GLENN: Right. You don't even know. You have no idea.
STU: Because all the people in the Biden administration hate her. Now, some of them I'm sure are trying to latch on to her now. But they've been leaking bad stuff about her for years. She has a couple of people around her. Her sister is a big one.
GLENN: Right.
STU: I don't know. Tim Walz?
GLENN: Right.
STU: He was a football coach once, sort of.
GLENN: You have Tulsi, you have RFK. You have Elon Musk.
STU: Uh-huh. Yeah. That's one. Another one. Like Elon Musk is a guy who is -- who has the biggest electric car company in the world.
Why?
Because he wants to stop global warming, so much.
GLENN: Right.
STU: He's building spaceships, so he can go to Mars one day, to avoid the potential output of global warming. And like, that's probably the one I'm most excited about it.
You know I can't stand the global warming stuff. But like, him with the idea of him just taking a butcher's knife to the size of the government.
And just going after waste, and all that. I think is legitimately really exciting. I mean, we can see a major, major change.
GLENN: Oh, I think, especially if you get the Congress. If they have the Senate and the Congress, massive change is coming.
Massive change. And change that honestly, the left used to say, they wanted.
You know, all that -- let's end the wars. Let's audit the Pentagon.
Let's make sure that big corporations aren't in bed with the government. I mean, this is all stuff.
Let's restore the Bill of Rights.
STU: Oh. That would be nice.
GLENN: I mean, that's all the stuff the Democrats used to be for.
I think most Democrats in the country, are still for that.
You know, they were talking about this suppressed voter that -- did you see the story?
Where is this? Yeah. AOC. AOC is encouraging female voters, who are decidedly siding with Harris. While more men are voting for Trump than previously.
She said, you should leave Post-It notes in bathrooms for these fearful women in red states.
This is real. Your vote is anonymous and confidential. Who you vote for, is your secret. No one knows, unless you tell them.
Like, really? You really think that women. This pisses me off.
STU: It would piss you off more if you were a woman.
Oh, they don't think I have enough pride in myself, to tell people who I voted for, honestly.
GLENN: And honestly, what they're trying to say is we know your husband is oppressive.
STU: Bad. What a surprising message from the left.
GLENN: He will beat you if you vote for Kamala Harris.
That's what she's saying.
STU: It's pathetic. It's the same type of message of, we will make sure black people can't -- don't need IDs to vote.
Right?
It's the same nonsense. It's just demeaning and disgusting.
You know, what -- they're like, where are the strong women on the right?
What women are you talking to?
What women are you talking to? That are terrified to tell their husband to vote.
What person is this? I don't know anybody like that. I don't know anyone like that.
GLENN: I know a woman who is afraid --
STU: There's more to this story?
GLENN: Yeah, who is afraid now, afraid to express who they're voting for. Broadway actress -- and I think I'm getting this name right.
Kari Melacos (phonetic), avid supporter of RFK.
She just pointed on -- posted on Instagram, that she's voting for Trump.
So all of her friends in show business, all of them saying, it's a no for me.
I'm so deeply disappointed in you. What a loss!
I met you performing at a fundraiser for Hillary. Was that just a show to further your career?
Wow, this deeply satisfies me.
STU: Oh, the career progress of being a Trump supporter on Broadway.
Oh, my gosh! The glory that comes in from that decision.
What kind of idiot even writes that?
GLENN: I'm not sure how you've reached this decision, or what brought you to this place.
But I'm sending you love and hope, that you will think of the rights of me, my husband, our daughter, and reconsider your position. You sold out your friends for a gig?
I'm completely shocked in reading this. Thank you for showing us who you really are.
What it is you value publicly! There's nothing worse than a wolf in sheep's clothing.
STU: None of these people are married to this woman, right? I don't think.
GLENN: Right.
STU: I'm not saying you don't get pushback, by saying who you vote for. Of course, you do. But like, if you're in a marriage, where that's going on. Probably not a good decision at the very least.
GLENN: Well, if you're in a marriage where you don't feel comfortable in saying who you are voting for.
STU: You're probably in an abusive marriage, or something close to it.
GLENN: Yeah, close to it, if not an abusive marriage. Or you're in a marriage that you won't work.
If you're afraid to tell your spouse anything, you're in a marriage that's not going to last.
STU: I don't tell her about my heroin habit.
Does that mean we're in a bad marriage?
GLENN: No, heroin is completely -- because that does good in the long-run. Really.
STU: It's a troubling sign, let's put it that way. It's a troubling sign, though.
GLENN: Troubling sing, yeah.
STU: By the way, I love this headline.
Because you mentioned, you know, to Congress. Can control Republicans.
This shocked me. This is from the New York Times. It's an eight-minute 41-second read, if you want to go through it. So A couple thousand words. Right?
Not a short story. Here's a headline: A unified Republican Congress would give Trump broad power for his agenda.
GLENN: Oh.
STU: Now, that's just describing our system of government. That's all that is.
That's all that headline says. Now, I find it fascinating for that reason. Because it doesn't tell you anything.
GLENN: Right.
STU: Of course, if Donald Trump wins and Republicans win back the Congress, he's going to have power, to implement his agenda.
That's literally how this works.
GLENN: Assuming the G.O.P. is not the G.O.P. of the past.
STU: Right. Right.
But they should, in theory, like tax cuts. That was part of his agenda. They got control of Congress.
What happened? They passed tax cuts. Yes, that's how this works.
But like, you could write this article, very easily the opposite way. A unified Democrat Congress would give Kamala Harris broad support for her agenda.
But that's not scary to New York Times readers.
GLENN: Right.
STU: Right stop they write it this way. Even though, it's obviously true both ways.
It's scary to the New York Times readers. So they write it this way, to terrify you for a victory for Trump.
GLENN: When was the last time you picked up a New York Times?
STU: Like a physical copy. It had to be at a hotel.
GLENN: Yeah. I was at a hotel yesterday.
And I picked up a physical copy. Oh, my gosh, it's worse. It's worse when you're actually reading -- sitting there.
You pick it up, and you read it. And the whole front page is like, clown country.
It is just crazy!
Trump’s response to Biden’s "GARBAGE" comment was EVERYTHING we wanted
Donald Trump has been giving us the campaign we’ve all been wanting, Glenn says. Instead of “vindicative,” it’s been fun and full of REAL joy, unlike the Kamala Harris campaign. Glenn reviews the latest example: Trump responded to Biden calling his supporters “garbage” by donning a bright orange vest and taking a ride in a garbage truck.

STU: Glenn, how are you? Nice outfit.
GLENN: Well, where is your costume?
STU: I'm going as you today. I'm sitting in your chair.
GLENN: Yeah. Don't get used to that, pal.
STU: No problem. That is not something you have to worry about.
GLENN: I'm going as --
STU: Your bag that you're wearing.
GLENN: I'm going as a Trump supporter today.
It's the greatest costume at the last minute. You know, you put a belt around it, and it's very stylish. It is a little hot to wear a garbage liner. It's a little hot.
STU: That's interesting.
GLENN: Yeah. They don't really breathe. They don't really breathe.
So, yeah. Yeah.
So, anyway, I was looking at what happened yesterday, with Trump pulling in, on the garbage truck.
Wearing the -- you know, the orange vest.
Which I've never seen him out of the blue suit.
I thought that thing was sewn on to his body, you know.
He comes out with the orange vest, right off Trump force one. And did you see his rally last night by any chance?
STU: I saw a chunk of it. I didn't see all of it.
I did see him in the vest. I saw him driving around in the garbage truck, with Trump on the side.
Smart -- I will say, the campaign for Trump in 2016 and 2020. I wasn't really impressed with. This one, I think was pretty good.
GLENN: I don't think we'll ever see a campaign like this again. I mean, think of the images we have. Donald Trump working at a McDonald's, and it worked. I mean, it actually wasn't a Michael Dukakis moment. Anybody else trying to do that, it would destroy them.
This worked for him. Then coming off the plane in a construction outfit, driving a -- a garbage truck, that wouldn't work for anybody else.
But it worked for him.
And then you have the image of him holding his fist up, after an assassination.
You're never going to have another campaign like this, ever. Ever.
STU: Yeah. And I keep thinking to myself, you know, these have worked. It looked pretty good.
I wouldn't keep pushing my lucky with them.
I feel like, one of them will eventually feel like Michael Dukakis. But, honestly, he's been able to pull off a couple of them.
GLENN: Yeah, every single one. Did you see Ramaswamy in the garbage truck?
He was picking up garbage, and he looked like a typical politician doing it.
Which, he's really not the typical politician.
He said, okay. I grabbed this can. And I put it in the back.
No offense to Vivek. I love him.
It didn't work!
With Trump, I don't know how these things are working. But they are.
And then he got on stage, and he was making fun of himself, you know, and he was dancing.
He's gotten better at dancing.
I mean, this honestly is the campaign.
I mean, yeah.
It's not -- he's not like, you know, me. On the dance -- thank God, he's not.
On the dance floor.
You know, but he's just -- he's hit exactly the right tone.
And they're hitting all the wrong tone. I mean, you know, they started out with, it's got to be a positive campaign. And look where they are. You know, calling Americans garbage. By the way, cut five. Here's what Trump said about that last night.
DONALD: 250 million Americans are not garbage.
(applauding)
This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said, what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage.
No way. No way.
And I actually mean it, even though without question. My supporters are far higher quality than crooked Joe or lying Kamala.
(applauding)
GLENN: You know, it's --
DONALD: Our response to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can't lead America if you don't love Americans. That's true.
GLENN: Amen. Amen. Amen.
And it's clear, isn't it? Isn't it becoming very, very clear, they don't like Americans?
I mean, look at everybody around them.
That they're not people that you would want to hang out with. Are they? Pragmatism there anyone on the Kamala side, on that time, that you're like, you know, they just seem like fun. You know. They just seem like fun.
Where on the other side, you have people who disagree with each other. You have -- you have Tulsi, on Trump's side.
You have RFK Jr. You have Elon Musk. I mean, it is kind of the cool kids club. And they're all fun. They're all having fun. Well, I mean, RFK is not exactly fun.
It hurts.
Every time he speaks, I grab my throat, it hurts.
STU: What are you talking about?
He's the most fun. The guy is putting whales in his car. He's just picking up bears on the side of the road, and strapping them to his steering wheel for some reason. He's got all the good stories.
GLENN: You know, just a normal day in America, when the headlines read, Biden bites babies at White House event. I mean, nothing to see here, right? Just a normal -- another day in America.
Okay. There -- there is also from Fox news, an exclusive report, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused the White House of releasing a false transcript of President Biden's remarks in which he referred to people as garbage.
Now, this is crazy!
We -- we saw the video!
And they release a transcript, that is not what he said. And then -- and then they tried to defend it, saying, well, no. He was just talking about the one comedian.
No!
No! He wasn't. He wasn't.
Go ahead. Here it is.
BIDEN: From Puerto Rico, where I am from. From my home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there, is his supporters. It's unconscionable.
STU: Yeah. But where is the possessive apostrophe in that? That is the debate.
I mean, they really are trying to say, that he was saying the garbage is held by only one supporter.
That was like their real argument on this, which is nonsense. Just say the guy is incoherent. And shouldn't be president of the United States. It would solve all your problems on this. You can't say this.
GLENN: You can't say that.
Because there's a deal. Shut up, Joe. Just shut up. Let's get through this. And maybe we'll help you build this library.
You notice? He can't raise the money for a presidential library.
Hmm. Yeah. You're the best president ever.
Did Biden call Trump supporters “GARBAGE” to SABOTAGE Kamala?
President Biden recently called Trump supporters “garbage”, although his handlers insist that he meant to say the MAGA agenda is “garbage.” But did Biden have an ulterior motive? Was this meant to sabotage Kamala Harris’ campaign as revenge for his ousting? Or did Biden just fumble his response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico? Glenn and Stu discuss. Plus, they review the latest election stats: Will the 2024 election be a landslide or a close race? And will Democrats believe it if Trump wins?

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors
GLENN: All right. So President Biden last night, I mean, I just -- I love the Kamala Harris speech. We will go into that, a little bit later on in the program.
The Kamala Harris speech is all, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.
He's a Nazi.
We should unite and put our divisions behind us.
By the way, he's a Nazi, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.
At the same time she's doing that, President Biden says this. Cut four.
BIDEN: From Puerto Rico where I'm -- in the state of Delaware, there are good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there, is his supporters. His -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.
GLENN: So that is a good, happy message for six days before the election.
STU: I've heard that a bunch of times since he said it. I hadn't paid attention to this next sentence. So he says, the -- every Trump supporter is garbage, but I can't believe their demonization.
He's just, I mean, look, he's -- I don't know. Is it -- that he's just so far down the dementia road, that he doesn't even know what he's saying at this point? But whatever.
GLENN: There's a chance he's trying to sabotage.
STU: There is something. It's not 0 percent chance he's trying to sabotage her campaign. Because this totally destroyed her day. Her big day in the sun. Celebrating the January 6th anniversary. The site of the January 6th speech.
GLENN: I know that's what everybody is talking about. At the grocery store. They're not talking about the prices of groceries and gas and everything -- they're just talking about what happened on the ellipse, on January 6th.
STU: That's the big thing people are discussing. And it's laughable. Whatever she tried to accomplish today. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a blessed event. I love Joe Biden today. I never felt better about the guy.
GLENN: Try cut five, please. Here's Trump.
DONALD: That's what it says. That's what it says.
So you have -- remember Hillary?
She said deplorable?
And then she said irredeemable. But she said deplorable, and that didn't work out.
Garbage, I think is worse. But he didn't know. Please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he knoweth not what he said.
(laughter)
GLENN: Tell me Trump hasn't been around the Bible lately, and people who believe in the Bible.
By the way, CNN said, it is just -- that happened because of his stutter.
Well, was he going to say garbage.
STU: Great garbage!
GLENN: So stupid.
This thing is going to come down to the wire. Now, I hope, that it is a landslide.
And there are some things out there, that make it look like it could be a landslide. At least in some states. But do you have any doubt, Stu. That in the swing states, this is going to come down to the wire?
STU: Yeah.
It might not feel like that afterward.
I think the -- there's a good chance that one of these candidates wins all seven of them.
I was looking at -- I can't remember whose model it was. It might have been Nate Silvers, who said the most likely outcome in his model, when it comes to the swing states, is someone wins all seven them. The number one outcome is Donald Trump winning all seven of the swing states. The number two most likely outcome is Kamala Harris winning all seven swing states.
GLENN: Well, of course. That's like the number three model is Daffy Duck winning all three. I mean --
STU: No. No, no. You don't have to win all seven. You can win four and lose three. The point is, it looks like, the way these things usually run. They're correlated. Right?
GLENN: Yeah.
STU: So you usually don't -- you can't just flip a coin on all the swing states. And say, well, this is what is going to happen. Usually, if one person wins, there's more likely a chance they will win the next state and the next state.
So at the end of the day, that won't feel like a close election. I think people will be like, oh, gosh. Trump won 310 electoral votes, that doesn't mean it's not a close election. But that doesn't mean it isn't a close election.
GLENN: Yeah. It will be a close election state by state.
Yeah, Biden won 306 last time. That felt like the closest election possible, right? He still won 306. It was 306 to 232 in the electoral account.
GLENN: They will be counting for weeks. Weeks. Unless it's an absolute blowout. Weeks.
STU: Be honest. There's a path of Kamala Harris winning this election. We find out pretty much on election night.
Because the first two states that will know, that really matter will be Georgia and North Carolina.
And if Kamala Harris wins those. If she wins those by three or four points. I don't want to say what the outcome of the election is.
Most likely that means that Trump has lost it. It's not impossible for him to win till.
If he loses Georgia and North Carolina. He's probably in really big trouble.
So we -- that's probably the most likely -- everyone is like, I want to know on election night. Do you?
Because the most likely we know on election night, is Kamala Harris does really well in Georgia and North Carolina.
GLENN: I don't know. I'm not sure that's true.
STU: As far as early -- early on that night, I would say yes.
If Kamala Harris wins Georgia and North Carolina, to me, you're at a 95 percent chance she's winning this election.
But if Trump -- if it's close, and then Trump winds up winning, or whatever. He can still go up to the blue wall, and pick out a few states.
GLENN: They will absolutely declare a win on that night. Both candidates will declare a win on that night.
This will be -- I lay it out in tonight's show, and it is fascinating to see what the Democrats have planned.
Because they have planned for all of this stuff. There's a five-step plan, after the vote!
Five steps that they are going to do to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get into office. And it's all laid out. It's amazing!
This is -- according to Mark Alias, this is going to be the most litigated election in all of human history!
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: That sounds like fun, huh? That sounds like real fun. We'll give you that tonight on my Wednesday night special that you don't want to miss.
By the way, everything that is going on now, with -- with Media Matters and the New York Times, they are setting up, the silencing of voices.
Across the spectrum of conservatives!
Our voices will be lost. And they could be lost, you know, during any kind of recount. Or any kind of -- they will start suppressing us hard. They already are!
I mean, our algorithms are so skewed against you finding our voice, it's unbelievable.
However, when this thing takes off. If there's any kind of anybody, saying that the election was tinkered with at all, unless it's the left saying it, if it's us saying that, that this election was stolen.
This election -- we have to look into this. We will be silenced. If the left is saying that, they will be amplified.
And the defense will be silenced.
That's what's happening.
That's what they have in play, right now.
You have to be the person, that can look at the news, and say, no. Wait. Wait. Wait.
Don't believe that.
Believe this. And that's what Propaganda Wars, my new book is all about.
You have a chance of losing us. You have a very good chance of losing contact with us, in the next couple of months, unless you are really going right directly to our source.
But you won't find us in your news feed. I'm convinced of it. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that the algorithms, if there's any question on this. The algorithms will silence us.
And I mean, everybody in the conservative world.
They will suppress our voices.
STU: Do you think there's any chance that there are aren't massive claims of fraud after this election?
GLENN: Landslide is the only way.
STU: Landslide one side or the other?
GLENN: Yeah.
Landslide on the other side, I don't think our side will believe.
STU: And I think the same thing applies with them. Don't you think?
I think they will -- you think they will believe it if Trump blows her out.
GLENN: What have Republicans done to cheat in this? We know --
STU: What factor is that?
You're talking about having evidence of further claims?
What does that have to do with anything?
GLENN: You're right. You're right.
STU: They will say it. If Trump wins a close election, they will say this election is stolen.
GLENN: Yes.
STU: Every election that I've experienced in my adult life, that they've lost, they've said that.
I'm trying to think of, is there an exception to that? Trump 2016, they lost. They said the election was stolen.
2012, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2008, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2004, they said it. 2000, they said it.
GLENN: Yeah. John Kerry. Al Gore.
STU: 1996, they didn't -- they won, so they didn't need it. 1992, they won, they didn't need it. 1988, I was 12. So every single election --
GLENN: Of your lifetime.
STU: -- of my lifetime as an adult, they have said that the election was stolen.
GLENN: And every -- every Republican, in my lifetime, because in '67, '68, I was three.
So every -- every Republican in my lifetime has been called a fascist or a Nazi. Every single time.
STU: Gosh. And how can they have any currency anymore?
GLENN: I know. I know.
STU: It's amazing, they're still doing this same playbook.
GLENN: Still doing it. Still doing it.
Things are changing though.
Things are dramatically changing.
Will the Left REGRET turning Tony Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico joke into a controversy?
The mainstream media melted down after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe of “Kill Tony” told a joke about Puerto Rico. The media used it as evidence that Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was about “hate” and akin to the 1939 Nazi rally at the same venue. But was this joke actually racist? Or was Hinchcliffe just doing his job as a roast comedian? Glenn and Stu review the joke, which even left-leaning comedian Jon Stewart admitted was funny, and make the case that it’s the Left that should be worried: “Whenever they try to take away your fun, [they] lose.”

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors
GLENN: So Tony Hinchcliffe. He is -- I'm sorry -- he's the guy that was on the Tom Brady special, right? The roast.
STU: Oh, my gosh. Yes.
And he was really -- really --
STU: Very funny.
GLENN: Almost mean. But very funny.
STU: But that's his job. Right? He strikes me as Jeff Ross. Who was also there, by the way. He says really uncomfortable things. Mean things. It's his shtick.
GLENN: If you are roasting, that's what you do.
STU: That's what you're supposed to do.
GLENN: People were like, oh, he was mean. That's what a roast is. You tear everything apart.
STU: Yeah. And some people watch that sort of world really quickly.
They know which comedians are coming up in that world.
I don't watch that very closely.
Oh, my gosh. This guy is amazing.
He has a huge following.
It was really uncomfortable.
Really mean. Really funny.
Like, that is his job.
GLENN: What is our -- what is our first rule.
STU: You don't cut funny.
GLENN: You don't cut funny.
If it's funny, it's funny. You leave it alone.
You don't cut funny.
STU: There at least used to be a situation. Where there might be an outrage on some of these things.
The comedian would rally to another comedian.
GLENN: Not this guy.
I would think somebody who is rallying actually to his defense is Jon Stewart.
Listen to this.
VOICE: Now, obviously in retrospect. Having a roast comedian.
GLENN: Wait. Wait.
Let's play what he said, first.
VOICE: It is absolutely wild times. It really, really is.
And, you know, there's a lot going on.
Like, I don't know if you guys know this.
There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.
Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
(laughter)
Okay. All right.
STU: The crowd reacts. Just like a roast crowd.
GLENN: A real big roast crowd.
STU: But like, everyone knows it's a joke.
Adults are familiar with this form of entertainment.
GLENN: Right.
STU: Right. And, oh, man.
GLENN: Oh, that's bad.
STU: And then you wait for the next one. And then you wait for the next group to get in.
GLENN: That's why he said, okay. All right. You'll get there. You'll get there. He said he's trying -- all right.
I know. But you'll understand this form here soon.
STU: And that moment, by the way, is that moment that roast comedians cherish.
That awkwardness is something you cherish in the moment. That is literally what you're going for.
GLENN: Right.
STU: You want that sound.
GLENN: It's mainstream Andy Kaufman.
You know how Andy Kaufman went and he wanted to make everyone uncomfortable.
This is mainstream. This is a roast.
STU: And it's tough.
I can understand why -- you can theoretically be critical of saying, I don't know if he's the right guy if he's going to do that there.
GLENN: When you have someone who is well-known, has a big following.
And is mainstream enough, like him. Where he was the funniest thing on that Tom Brady special. He was.
STU: Yeah. Yeah. There was a lot that was funny in it.
GLENN: That you would show up. You damn right.
STU: I wouldn't even use the word mainstream.
He's like cool. Very, very rarely do Republicans get people who are actually cool.
That's why Elon Musk is at some level interesting to the Republicans. Because like he's doing this amazing Tony stark character. He's actually on our side for once.
This guy is probably the funniest. Edgiest. Up-and-coming roast comedian there is.
You know, he is -- like stole that show, at times.
And, you know, remember, the Netflix Tom Brady special is one of the most watched things of the entire year.
Right?
This was a massive, massive cultural event.
He was one of the stars of it.
He's coming, and he's doing his shtick to a major audience in a party environment. It's totally, totally what he should do. And it would be expected to do in the moment.
GLENN: So now that's our opinion. Now listen to Jon Stewart.
JON: Now, obviously in retrospect, having a roast comedian, come to a political rally before election day, and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically.
But to be fair, the guy is just really doing what he does.
I mean, here he is, at the Tom Brady roast a few months ago.
VOICE: The great Jeff Ross, ladies and gentlemen. Jeff is so Jewish, he only watches football for the coin toss.
Ron, you look like the Nazi that kept burning himself on the ovens. Kevin is so small, that when his ancestors picked cotton, they called it dead-lifting.
(laughter)
JON: Yes. Yes. Of course. Terrible. Boo. Yes.
(laughter)
JON: There's something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. I'm sorry.
STU: He is.
JON: I don't know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and not him do roast jokes, that would be like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not having -- oh.
(laughter)
GLENN: Right?
STU: It's very, very funny. And exactly what's supposed to happen. And the fact that the media is -- they're all upset. AOC is like, I can't believe this racism.
Stop! Stop it!
I call her an adult, but she has the mind of a 3-year-old.
GLENN: You know what is amazing here, they have willingly stepped back into the Al and Tipper Gore category.
Where remember, Al and Tipper Gore. They were like, oh, we've got to have labels on rap music.
STU: Right. Right. Yeah.
GLENN: And they were so --
STU: They were mocked for it.
GLENN: They were so Karen-esque.
So Karen-esque.
And nobody wants to be around those people. Nobody wants to be around those people.
And look at what the left is doing.
Every step of the way, they're the ones that wreck the fun.
STU: Yeah. They are -- I mean, this is -- you sound like Bill Maher right now.
Which is shocking.
Because you guys shouldn't sound the same, but it's true.
I mean, when you suck the fun out of life, you don't win. It's not a winning long-term position.
You might win an election here or there. They might win this one. And that's terrifying to think about.
But they might. They might win, despite -- in spite of itself.
GLENN: Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.
STU: But it's true. I always think about this, when you talk about global warming.
If you can present to people, hey, why wouldn't we want clean water and clean air and a good environment?
You will get a lot of people, even some conservatives and moderates. They will say, you know, yeah. We should do those things. Like spending money on the environment is a good idea.
When you start saying, hey. You shouldn't have big-screen TVs.
And your air-conditioning should be set at 78.
GLENN: And no meat. Eat a bug.
STU: And no meat.
You lose. That's why I love when they go with that messaging.
Whenever they do that. And try to take away your fun.
You lose. That's what happens.
And it's like -- it's always why I'm skeptical of efforts to limit technology.
You know, like, when people are like, oh, well. We have to not do whatever.
AI or smartphones. Whatever.
Look, I don't like a lot of that stuff.
And would I think that the world would be a better place if we got rid of a lot of it. Sure.
But at the end of the take, when it's performing tasks in your life that makes your life easier.
It's just going to win.
You're not going to be able to stop it. And when you try to fight against that. People like having fun. People like having fun.
Why do you think the abortion messaging works for the left?
Because they like -- they like that sort of -- like the lifestyle of being able to be a little promiscuous and not be punished for it is something that connects with a lot of freaking people, particularly young women.
It does work with them. It's not necessarily, they're all like, I would like to end a lot of baby's lives.
What they like is going to bars and hooking up. And at the end of the day, not being punished for it. It's why you -- I remember you saying this a long time ago. When you were very young, you were pro-choice.
GLENN: Yeah. Keep your options open.
STU: Keep your options open.
GLENN: Really bad. Really bad.
STU: It's really bad.
And when you think about what it really means. Of course it's terrible.
But when you're given a permission structure, and you're young, and you haven't thought about these things a lot of the way, the permission structure is, this is legal. Is health care?
Well, of course, you can justify that.
If you buy that messaging, you can justify it. And it's why they use it. It's why it's effective, particularly on younger people. So I'm not surprised that that sort of stuff wins. When you're on the other side and you're saying, you know, jokes are bad, and stop being -- noticing.
Stop noticing, that the thing that the left is doing is completely insane. Like just saying girls can be boys, and boys can be girls by a few sentences.
GLENN: Let me play the AOC.
Because look at -- if this was our messaging.
If this is what we were saying in the last week of the election, would you think it was going well?
First, AOC.
VOICE: This was not -- this was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally.
I think I say very important for people to understand, that these are mini January 6 rallies.
STU: So bad.
VOICE: These are mini stop the steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn't go the way that they want.
Because Donald Trump, and that entire cadre of people up on that stage. Steven Miller, et cetera. Do not respect the law of the United States of America.
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: Okay. This -- these words may not age a week.
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: Because if they lose, if it doesn't go their way.
Producing staff, make sure we have all of these cuts.
STU: Uh-huh.
GLENN: Of saying exactly what Donald Trump is going to do.
All of them.
Make sure you have all of them.
STU: At the front of that rally, will be that woman.
And she will be sitting there. And she will be encouraging her social media audience to bail out the people who burn the cities down.
That is like, it is so predictable. And speaking of AI.
That argument is basically like, craft -- craft a liberal argument, to -- to criticize Trump's rally and tie it to January 6th. Enter.
And she's reading it.
It's pathetic. That is a pathetic. Mini January 6.
So in some ways, it would be adorable, if she was 11.
(laughter)
Right?
GLENN: Well, how about Mika from MSNBC. Here's what she said.
VOICE: I think a lot of people are seeing that rally, at Madison Square Valley. Seeing all those people. It doesn't mean he's going to win the race. But my point is that it's discouraging that so many people would gather and rally, to hate. To hate speech.
STU: That's not what it is.
VOICE: In America. It's discouraging, and it hurts. That people who have family in Puerto Rico. Who are Puerto Rican Americans who are American citizens, are hearing hate like that. It's discouraging.
STU: Can you imagine if this is an actual position? It's not. Imagine if she actually believed this.
VOICE: It's important to look at the situation. And it's not just, oh, my gosh. About the race. It's, oh, my gosh, how did we get here?
How did we get here?
STU: I can't take any more of this.
Are these the people that brought Eminem on stage last week. Eminem.
A person who rapped -- who built his career on domestic violence, rapping about domestic violence, as part of his act, and rapping about beating gay people, as part of his act.
You might find that distasteful. I find it distasteful. That being said, it's his act.
I understand it. I don't think he's -- I mean, he has had some legal problems. But I don't think he's actually bashing gay people.
I don't like his act.
But we all understand, it was his act. And they can bring him up, on that stage.
And I think as adults, we should all be able to look at that and said, look, he's said some things, that the party shouldn't want necessarily representing them. But what are you going to do?
Obviously, he's a rapper. That's his business. The same thing should be said for Kill Tony.
Right? He's up there. He's doing his thing. That is his shtick. Every adult, including even morons like AOC. And the idiots on Joe Scarborough's stupid show.
All know exactly what reality is. And they're pretending that they don't.
GLENN: And here's how you know the Democrats know this. Okay?
Because there are Democrats in swing states that are running commercials right now, with them, and Donald Trump.
With pictures of them, and assigning or something.
Anything.
He voted with Donald Trump.
He's middle of the road.
He doesn't lean all one way or the other.
Look, here's a picture of him and Trump.
They're running these things.
If you actually thought the man was Hitler, you wouldn't run those.
Your party wouldn't pay for that. This is all a sham! They're convincing you he's Hitler.
I think people like Mika is actually convincing herself, he's like Hitler.
GLENN: Well, and which was a fascinating thing. Considering she was partially responsible being the president of the United States.
They fawned over him, for a year. And brought him on.
And told him, the questions in advance, they told him.
They asked him, what they should hit. I mean, they were --
GLENN: Right.
STU: They were best buds.
GLENN: Yeah. Weren't they on the -- weren't they on his house, at one of the debates. Remember that?
STU: They're close friends for a long time.
