THESE 2 stories have Glenn QUESTIONING zoomers

Glenn reviews two stories that make him question the state of today's young adults: McDonald's released Happy Meals for adults (complete with toys) and young couples are bragging about being "DINKs" (Double Income, No Kids). Maybe it's time for Gen Z to grow up, start a family, and get some common sense ...

GLENN: Wow. So I'm sorry. I'm very distracted right now. Because Buddy the Elf brought in some chocolates.

And I can't open them.

I can't -- they're --

STU: I mean --

GLENN: Do you have to be old money to know how to open these things? Because they're fancy chocolates.

STU: They have the gold wrapper on them. So, yes.

GLENN: My gosh, you can't -- there. Now it's open.

STU: Wow. This is --

GLENN: I mean, there's only so much time to open a box of candy. If they make it impossible to open, they just pound it open.

STU: There are shards of sharp plastic, all over the studio now. But as you were taking that off, you saw clearly, a sticker type of thing that was wrapped around the outside. It was obviously how you opened that package.

You don't want to slam it against the desk, like an insane person.

GLENN: I wasn't insane.

That is a regular way, that when you wrap chocolate, like you -- like it's -- like an old CD. That's how you you open it.

Would you like some chocolate?

STU: I'm okay.

I'm afraid that I would be eating plastic shards, if I were to ingest any of this.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

STU: Now, how many times have you done it? That seems like it's not the first time you smashed a package of chocolates against the table to open it.

I mean, you really wanted some chocolate there.

GLENN: No. Less about the chocolate, more about the packaging.

STU: You're just --

GLENN: You don't get to the point to where you're opening something. And it's been so sealed, that there's no way any human could ever open it?

STU: Oh, I definitely got to that point before.

GLENN: Yeah. I can't take it.

STU: Not international radio.

Not on intermittent radio.

GLENN: Oh, well, I'm not ashamed of who I am.

STU: Maybe you should be.

You know, I feel like that's a lesson we've learned lately.

I just need to tell the world who I am. Maybe you shouldn't.

You know, Glenn, maybe the way you just acted should be closeted.

You know, I'm just saying.

GLENN: You're sitting there with a bottle of whisky. And you're telling me to behave myself.

You see what I just did to the chocolates.

You know how much I want that whisky right now?

STU: I will say, because I have some whiskey right here. And it's such a beautiful bottle, I didn't want to open it.

GLENN: It's not that beautiful. Let's open it.

STU: Glenn is looking at me, in a way that is disturbing.

I feel like a protective parent, and you're Jared from Subway. That's what I feel like.

GLENN: What is it? It's like 12-year-old whisky. So...

STU: It's a very wrong conversation. But I will say, I -- I like taunting you over alcohol. Because I think it's really funny.

GLENN: I just want to smell it. I love the smell of good whisky.

STU: That's what is making me freak out. You really want -- I'm putting this away.

GLENN: No, no, let's leave it up here.

STU: I'm not going to leave it up here for you.

GLENN: I will smash that thing open.

STU: Look, at the very end of your career, too I want this to end in some alcoholic binge that gets us all sorts of ratings?

GLENN: I don't want to drink it. I just want to smell it.

STU: It's just one sip.

It's just touching my lips. That's not drinking.

This is what happens, Sara, you know.

GLENN: Hang on a second. You okayed a whiskey -- knowing that whisky -- you okayed a whisky sponsorship on this program.

STU: It's good whisky.

GLENN: And come on, let's be serious.

Why did you take that whisky sponsorship?

Yes. It's good whisky.

STU: It's great.

GLENN: No. No.

STU: And I did know it would torture you. So it's a small part of it.

GLENN: Now it's sitting here. And you're like, oh, my gosh. I can't torture you. You see what I did to the box of candy? Open that bottle of whisky now.

STU: Those are glass shards if you break the bottle of whisky, Glenn.

GLENN: Again, I don't want to drink it. I just want to smell it. I love the smell of whisky.

STU: You also love the taste of whisky, that became a major problem for your life. .

GLENN: Not really. That wasn't the problem. It was, I love the effects of whisky.

STU: Which you remember well?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: That's the problem.

It's amazing to -- to --

GLENN: Okay. But let me ask you something: Which is a bigger problem.

Alcoholism. Or being somebody that is excited about this story, and you're an adult.

McDonald's is bringing its adult Happy Meals back into circulation.

Even containing six individual toy options, the chief of marketing and customer experience officer, references the success of last year's cactus plant flea market box, and notes that it was something that would be revisited because fans told us, they wanted to celebrate that quintessential childhood experience again.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: So they're giving you the little Happy Meal, where the golden arches are the handle.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: With the little toy in it.

That none of us had for more than five minutes. Because it was crap.

And which adult -- I want to talk to the adults that are like, you know what, I'm really happy. I can really -- relive that experience. And see what McDonald's has left for me.

As a toy.

As an adult, who gets a toy.

I don't know.

I think I would rather be an alcoholic.

STU: It's an interesting point.

You know, the worst part about the Happy Meal for adults.

They have full sized meals for adults.

That you can just have that are bigger and more of the stuff that you like. Unless you're going for some weird -- I'm going back into a cocoon of childhood.

GLENN: And, you know, with what Disney has done. When I heard adult toys in a Happy Meal box.

I -- I --

STU: I can picture some psychopath out of the McDonald's parking lot, smashing open a plastic box with adult toys inside it.

GLENN: Daddy, why is your box vibrating?

Shut up!

STU: I'm going to smash another bumper in the parking lot.

Do you think though, that this is a thing that is -- has made a real comeback?

I feel like there's a time. Maybe I'm just misremembering this. I feel like there's a time, where it would be embarrassing, to want to jump into all the childhood behaviors of your past.

GLENN: Yes.

Our grandparents would have slapped us across the face.

STU: That's kind of how I would picture it, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

STU: It seems like now.

I don't know. This is offensive to some.

Maybe. But the dish -- the real passion for Disney World and Disneyland for adults, is interesting to me.

Like, it's a great place.

I get it. And I know that right now --

GLENN: No. First of all, it's the spawn of Satan. So you can't --

STU: I noticed that. But I know a lot of people, even conservatives. Who still go back there.

As adults, you know, a lot.

Like multiple times a year.

GLENN: That is because -- wait a minute. Because that brings back innocence.

It brings back.

STU: A Happy Meal brings back innocence.

GLENN: It brings back crap, that you had -- you gave --

STU: Don't besmirch McDonald's. Rob --

GLENN: Has he -- how big of a house does that fat clown need? He's always raising money.

Hey, finish my house.

Finish my house.

Enough, okay?

You gave that box. That happy meal. Because it kept your kids quiet. So it didn't drink during the day.

STU: I don't know if your experience is exactly the same as everyone else's experience. Mister please open that whisky bottle so I can smell it.

GLENN: I'm just -- I'm just saying.

STU: But do you find that -- is it something where the world has become so dark? That they're looking for --

GLENN: I. No. No.

Nobody is growing up. When I was 18 years old, maybe 17.

I remember coming back home from school. And -- and I had a bowl of cereal. And I'm sitting on my couch. And I'm just watching TV.

And there's nothing on. It's like soap opera time of day. There's nothing on.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: So I keep flipping around. And the best thing that was on, believe it or not, was Mr. Rogers.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: Now, my dad happened to come home early that day. And I'll never forget, he came up the stairs. You know, we had those split level houses.

And he came up the stairs, and he came up the stairs. And he came around. And he's like, hey. And he saw me eating cereal on the couch, watching TV, which he was disgusted by already. He was like, do something with your life.

STU: Do something with your life.

GLENN: So he came. And I'll never forget. He walked past the TV. And then he turned around to see it, because Mr. Rogers had the little puppets with the king and the kingdom.

He looked at it. And he looked at me.

And he looked back at the TV. He watched it for about 40 seconds. Then he looked back at me and said, what the hell is wrong with you?

I think that should be said to every adult who is excited about the Happy Meal. You need a parent or a grandparent, that would -- that is in your life, that will just say you to, what the hell is wrong with you?

STU: Okay. I could see that. I could see -- there's -- I feel like that was the approach back in the day.

GLENN: No. That's the approach that should be today.

I'm very excited. What are you going to say? I'm very excited to celebrate this -- this quintessential childhood memory.

Out of all the memories we had, as a family, you pick the crappy 2-cent toy?

STU: There's some anti McDonald thing going on with you.

GLENN: I love McDonald's? I love McDonald's.

STU: No. You? What?
(laughter)
No.

GLENN: You are...

STU: No. I mean, but I do feel like there's this anti you've been bashing them a lot lately. I don't like it. I don't like it. I get defensive.

GLENN: You know why? Because they reduced the size of the Filet-O-Fish.

STU: Well, that makes sense. This all tracks now.

GLENN: Yeah.

It's like they're becoming like Dunkin minis. You know what I mean?

Where I got to eat two of them, to equal one.

STU: Right.

GLENN: And I'm pissed because, yes, I am fat. But I feel fatter, if I have to order two of them.

Then you're just like, then you're just like, oh, my gosh.

You know, you order minis by the box. Okay?

You don't say, I need 36 doughnut holes.

You say I want a box of minis, please.

STU: The world needs your knowledge and wisdom on these topics. It really does.

Are you familiar with the term DINK?

Are you familiar with the term DINK?

GLENN: No. But I'm relating it to you, right now.

STU: All right. That's fine.

It means dual income, no kids.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: So we had a video, we were showing yesterday. We watched it on The News and Why It Matters. These two people talking about what it means, because they're DINKs. And they're bragging about it. And one of the -- the fat guy who is -- there's a very small woman, and very large man in the video. I don't know -- oh, we have the video? Here's the video.

VOICE: We're DINKs. We're going to get asked daily when we're planning on having kids.

VOICE: We're DINKs. Of course we're going to go out to eat every night after work.

VOICE: We're DINKs, we don't have to ask our family for financial help or to watch our kids when we want to go out.

VOICE: We're DINKs. We're going to go to Costco and buy all the snacks in bulk that we want.

GLENN: Okay. Okay. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Okay. Let me tell you why they're DINKs. She's beautiful, he's a fat Gila monster. There's no way she's going to have sex with him. So there's no children in their future.

STU: Right. That's why they're DINKs? She's happy with his income.

GLENN: She's like, I am so -- leave your clothes on. Turn the lights on. Leave all the clothes on.

STU: Really. I had not thought about that. She has brilliantly convinced him there's some new ideology between a dual income and no kids.

GLENN: Yes. Yeah. When they first got married, he was probably okay.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Then he just let himself go. And she's like, I can't have sex with him.

STU: What if we create a whole new thing?

Actually I'm morally --

GLENN: DINKs.

STU: Yeah, we love being DINKs. It's a way better way to live.

GLENN: Let's go eat.

STU: I love that.

I have a huge problem, with these points. Largely because, the big fat guy doesn't understand that children, largely. The biggest part of the role of children is to get you access to more snacks.

It's the best snack highway you're ever going to find.

Do you know how many kinds of mac and cheese I've had over the past ten years? It's incredible!

GLENN: The world needs your knowledge. See. This guy is not only fat, he's stupid. He's stupid too.

SHOCKING: "Several boats a week" dropping off UNVETTED illegals on California beaches

The Biden-Harris administration claims that illegal immigration is down, but San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond joins Glenn to expose the reality in southern California. From September 2023 to June 2024, Border Patrol dropped off 155,000 illegal immigrants into the county, he argues. But although this suspiciously stopped right before the election heated up, Desmond says that tons of illegals are still being shipped out of the city every day by bus to Arizona and every week by plane to Texas. And to make matters worse, “several boats a week” have been dropping off UNVETTED illegal immigrants into San Diego County for months. We have no idea who these people are, he argues, and thanks to California’s sanctuary state laws, local law enforcement can’t do anything about it.

GLENN: Let's see. We have Jim Desmond on with us.

I look at what's happening at our border. And they keep saying that they've gotten it under control.

Now they're trying to convince people, that it's, you know, lower numbers coming across, than when Trump was in office.

This is absolutely not true. So we have the supervisor for San Diego.

He's on with us. He is the county supervisor, and he has information on Border Patrol. On something that is, you know, now apparently happening, again on our border.

Welcome, Jim.

JIM: Glenn, thanks for having me this morning.

GLENN: You bet. So tell me what the Border Patrol informed you of.

JIM: Well, the numbers are down, but from record highs.

GLENN: Yes.

JIM: We still have more capacity. More people coming across the border, than we can actually handle here in San Diego County.

Or in the San Diego sector.

And what happens, you know, from September of last year. Until June of this year.

The Border Patrol dropped off over 155,000 people. To send sound bite streets of San Diego County.

GLENN: 155,000?

JIM: Yes. Absolutely.

They dropped off over that nine-month period of time.

And we had to absorb them. Or most of them left. And went to other parts of the country.

So they were just dropping off the excess here. In our -- in our transit stations here in San Diego County.

That stopped in June.

But what they have been doing every since, is we're still taking more people in that we can manage here.

There's about three buses a day. That they're taking migrants. Border Patrol is taking migrants in Yuma, Arizona, which is right outside the California/Arizona line. So about three buses per day, and they have about three to four flights per week, leaving San Diego, going to Texas.

Primarily McAllen, Texas.

So it's just smoke and mirrors. What they're doing is they're taking these numbers. They're no longer putting them on our streets.

Which is very in the open. And press and everything else.

Had access to that. And they're hiding them by busing them to Arizona or flying them to Texas.

GLENN: Well, I want to thank. I want to thank them for that. This is -- I mean, if -- if Trump doesn't win, what do you think is coming our way, Jim?

JIM: Well, I think it will go back to where it was before. Where we got several hundred dropped off each day, here in San Diego County.

And unfortunately, we became the number one spot for border crossings.

Or the number one spot for fentanyl.

We're up in one of the top spots for human trafficking.

You know, all of these things we don't want.

It's in June, right before the election, as far as the street drop-offs. That was the most visible thing that we could see.

I think unfortunately, we will go back to the mayhem we had, in the last -- you know, previous months. Where they were just dropping off more and more people, here in San Diego County.

That's what I hear.

GLENN: So you are a county supervisor.

What can you do, if anything?

JIM: Not much. Other than reporting it. What's happening.

And of you with the other things, what's happening here, in San Diego County.

We're getting several boats. A week. Just, where people run up on to our shores.

With boats. And smugglers. And people just getting off the votes. And walking into the -- our neighborhoods. And they just abandon the boats on the beach.

Those people aren't even checked or go through Border Patrol.

They're not fingerprinted. We have slightly no idea.

And that's been happening for months. And if you remember 9/11, was only a couple dozen people. Well, two votes say couple dozen people, coming on to our shores.

And that's happening, you know, several times a week, where we have these people, just completely unaccounted for.

GLENN: It is crazy. Let me play something here that came from Dr. Phil.

This -- he is talking to a special agent with ICE.

It's cut ten.

VOICE: So you're telling me that DHS has acknowledged that Venezuela, for example, is empty in their prisons. And their rehabilitation centers, with the understanding that you get out, if you leave here, and go to the United States?

VOICE: Yes.

VOICE: And DHS has in writing said, we know that's happening. We know they're coming here. We're processing them in. And have no idea where they are?

VOICE: Correct.

VOICE: How many people are we talking about?

VOICE: Millions, and in just Venezuela alone.

GLENN: How does a country survive that? How does a country survive that? How does San Diego survive that?

JIM: We don't. We're getting overrun.

And to be honest with you, the state of California, say sanctuary state.

Which means, that our local laughter cannot enforce immigration law.

So even these people that are getting off the boats and walking into you're neighborhoods.

Local laughter can't do a thing about it. They pull somebody over.

They can't ask them about their immigration status. And so, you know, we're a sanctuary state because of that. There's very little, you know, locally, that anybody can do about this stuff.

So that -- one of the issues. The other thing, that the federal government just did to us, recently.

They gave us $19 million for a migrant processing center, here in San Diego County.

Right after the -- right after the June drop-offs.

They gave us $19 million.

And that's FEMA dollars. That could have been going to hurricane relief.

Right now, we're not using that money at all.

But it's 19 million FEMA dollars, sitting in our pockets, waiting for a migrant center. Which probably, if Kamala wins, we will have to put up right away.

GLENN: Jeez. God bless you, Jim.

Thank you for breaking this news. I appreciate your courage. Thank you.

JIM: Glenn, thanks for putting it out there. I love it.

GLENN: You bet. That's county supervisor from San Diego. Jim Desmond, who posted, I think it was, what?

Last night, or the night before, about what's happening now. They are flying them out.
Flying them out!

Congratulations, Arizona. You get some. Texas, you get some.

STU: It's like Oprah.

Everyone has some under their chair. Congratulations.

GLENN: Actually probably -- kind of like literally that.
(laughter)
Oh, man.

STU: Disturbing.

THESE Harris & Walz picks reveal how global elites are LYING to you

If you want to know who Kamala Harris and Tim Walz really are, look at who they’ve picked to work in their campaign and administrations. Glenn and Stu review Team Harris-Walz’ pick for Climate Engagement Director, Camila Thorndike, who has called oil and gas WORKERS dangerous for the environment. So, why did she join the Harris campaign, which is now saying it WON’T ban fracking? If that wasn’t disturbing enough, Glenn and Stu introduce you to a man who’s helping shape Minnesota’s schools under Tim Walz. The propaganda machine insists that Critical Race Theory is harmless and barely used in our schools. But you have to hear what this appointee said about “deconstructing” the U.S. for yourselves. While the government lies to you, Glenn brings on Justin Haskins, the co-author of his new book, "Propaganda Wars," to explain how to cut through the propaganda and find the truth.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: We were talking last hour about the new appointee for Harris' campaign. She's a global warming extremist. That says, if you are in the oil and gas business, at all, you're a terrorist. You're an eco-terrorist.

She is somebody who is so extreme, on global warming. She doesn't like capitalism. She doesn't like oil and gas or anything like that.

So why would she join the Kamala Harris campaign, leave Bernie Sanders' legislation team, and go and be the spokesperson on economic -- or I'm sorry. On ecological issues.

Why would she join Kamala Harris? Because an extremist would say, she's changing everything she's doing.

She's saying, she's not even going to go after fracking anymore. That she's going to approve new oil leases.

STU: She's opposed to the green new deal.

GLENN: Right. She's a traitor to everything I believe.

That's what she should say. But she didn't. She joined on.

And then said, no. Kamala has really changed her mind. She's -- she's not going to do any of those things. Okay?

You have to ask why. Why?

So we went into that yesterday. Now, let me -- or earlier today. Let me go into the education czar. What's the title.

STU: Yeah. It's he actually is one of the people helping implement the framework, or curriculum.

For the new ethnic studies standards. In the state of Minnesota.

GLENN: Okay. Remember, you were told by the propaganda machine, that CRT is nothing. First of all, it's not anything. It doesn't even happen. It doesn't exist. We're not even doing that.

STU: Just a bunch of academics talking. We got to that phase.

GLENN: We got to, okay. It's in there. But it doesn't mean what you think it means. It's totally harmless.

Now, we don't even talk about it anymore.

Remember, this came in under Biden Harris.

This came into our schools.

They didn't dare release it, under Donald Trump.

But they put it into our schools, after the election.

Now, what does it mean?

Well, it certainly doesn't mean an end to the United States of America.

That's what Tim Walz would say. Then if that's true, why would he hire this guy?

STU: And it's Brian Lazinski.

He is an associate professor of Urban and Multicultural Education in St. Paul.

He was helping, with not just the ethnic studies, but also the social studies standards. Citizenship and government. Economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies. This comes from Stanley Kurtz, by the way.

He did a great job reporting on that.

GLENN: Amazing.

STU: Let me give you his thoughts now on CRT. And what its role is in the schools. But also, what it actually means. And what he believes about it.

VOICE: And we're also sometimes lying on ourselves, when people say, like, oh, we can.

We use Critical Race Theory in school.

We don't use Critical Race Theory in school.

The first tenant of Critical Race Theory is that the United States, as constructed, is irreversibly racist.

STU: Hmm.

VOICE: So if the nation state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with. It must be overthrown, right?

And so we can't be like, oh, no. Critical Race Theory is about telling our stories. It's not about that. It's about overthrow.

It's insurgent. And we need to be, I think more honest about that.

And it's funny that they -- they don't understand Critical Race Theory.

But they actually tell some truth, when they're like, yeah. It's antistate.

You can't be a critical race thirsty. And be pro-US.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Okay. It's an antistate theory.

That says that the United States needs to be deconstructed period. Right?

That's -- and so I think -- I think it's an interesting argument there.

And that's why I'm a critical race thirsty.

STU: Oh. that's why he's a Critical Race Theorist.

Because the overthrow of the government, and the insurgency and all.

Now, you might say, if you had a picture taken with you at a party with this man, you know, you will deny that.

You will --

GLENN: You would say, I didn't have any idea who that guy was.

STU: I had no idea who that guy was. Think about the prospect of not only associating yourself with him. But also promoting him to design the curriculum for the students of Minnesota.

This guy is out there.

He's a teacher. He's a football coach.

A hunter. He's America's dad.

What you just heard is who Tim Walz actually is.

What he's telling you is that he's America's dad, but that's who he really is. That's what he wants.

His education department chose that guy, to design your kid's classes.

GLENN: So the first thing to avoid propaganda, is to constantly ask why. And be willing to accept the truth.

So there are so many Democrats right now, that won't accept that, why?

Because they'll hear it from me. Or they'll hear it from Fox News.

So it's a convenient way just to dismiss it.

But there's the audio of the guy, Tim Walz, put in charge of the history and critical race curriculum, in Minnesota schools.

JUSTIN: Right. Yeah. I think what's so important about propaganda wars is we want to equip people with the ability to figure out these things on their own, all right? We don't want people to rely just on shows like this. We need people to become trusted sources of information in their own lives. Teach people how to be citizen journalists. This is what we desperately need. And what you find, when you go to the original sources over and over and over again, what we discovered and what we outline in this book, is that there is a propaganda industrial complex, that it goes well beyond just what's in the media. That there is a vast network of left-wing groups. And big money organizations.

And others. Many of whom, people listening to these shows.

As active listeners as they may be. Have never heard of these organizations. Now, you brought up the education thing. This is really interesting.

So in the first chapter of the book, where we just talk about how screwed up everything is, it's called welcome to the clown world.

We talk about this nonprofit organization called education trust west.

That's the name of it. Education trust west.

They are one of these people that believe that there's all this racism, inherently in mathematics. They believe that public education has a responsibility to inject social justice ideology, into every subject, including mathematics.

They said, and this is a direct quote. That finding -- not this first part of it is not the correct quote. But finding the correct answer to a math problem, is, quote, white supremacy culture.

Unquote. Now, they've been distributing these workbooks all over the company.

In California. In Georgia. In Ohio. Are those far left-wing states. California is. But not Georgia and Ohio.

These things are everywhere. Now, we get into who these major players are. Not just these organizations. But who is funding them.

Where do we get their money? Because they're not selling their money to the public. Well, they just so happen to get their money from a little organization.

Just a tiny, little one. Most people have never heard of. Call the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So they're pumping all of this money into these textbooks that are teaching kids at the local level, that racism is everywhere.

You're a white supremacist, if you're trying to get people to find the right answer.

This is everywhere. So what you have to do, and what we try to show people in this book, is that you have to find the sources of this misinformation.

It's not just enough to say, well, that's crazy. That's the kind of thing that happens in Portland. Well, yeah.

That does happen in Portland. But it's also happening in Portland. It's also happening in Georgia.

And it's because these organizations exist everywhere. The network is vast.

George Soros and people like that are pouring hundreds of millions and billions of dollars worldwide, into these kinds of efforts.

And if you don't know who they are. You don't know what to look out for.

GLENN: So one of the biggest questions I have gotten asked over the years, and I hear it asked very seldom now. And I wonder why.

Used to be, why do these people do this? Why would Bill and Melinda Gates do this?

Why would they teach that math is racist? Because you have to now start to think, unlike Americans used to think.

Americans used to think. Well, we all want what is best.

You now have to understand what the elites think is best. Is best for them. Not for you.

They are teaching our children, to be slaves.

They are teaching them not to ask questions. Let me ask you: If you believe that math is racist, therefore I don't really have to do it. It's racist to ask me to do it. It's racist for me to try to figure it out on my own.

How do those people build bridges? How do those people even -- even measure a wall to make a house?

How do you do the basic stuff that you have to do? If you can't do math.

You -- Elon Musk what he did, it already kind of looks like magic to me.

But I know it's all based in science.

But if I find out that science and mathematics is racist, I can't do what Elon Musk -- I can't even explain, what Elon Musk is doing. It does become magic.

These people are training a whole continent. In fact, the whole world. The Western world, to be slaves.

You cannot think for yourself. Why would they do that? Because they have control.

They want the money. They want the power.

And they actually believe and so do I, in many ways, that if they control AI. They win.

Once they control AI, and Putin has said this. Whoever gets it first. Controls the world.

They're putting all of their eggs in that basket. And we unfortunately, have been saying to ourselves, you know what, AI. Why even learn that?

AI will teach you. You can just go online and just say, hey. How do I build a bridge? And it will show you.

So why do I even have to learn math? Why do I have to learn to read, when I can just say, AI. What does this say?

What is that about? Can you write a paper on that for me?

We're being taught to rely, not on technology. On those who control the technology.

CBS News EXPOSED its REAL agenda with 60 Minutes editing scandal response

After 2 weeks of criticism, CBS News has finally released a statement on its “60 Minutes” editing scandal … and it was very snarky. CBS News insisted that its editing of Kamala Harris’ answers wasn’t “deceitful.” It also claimed that the 2 cuts of Harris’ response to a question about Israel were from the same question/answer segment, and not taken from another part of the interview. But Glenn still has a few questions: Why did it take so long to put this statement out? Why was it so snarky? And will CBS News release the interview’s full transcript? If you’ve had enough of the mainstream media’s games, Glenn and Stu share the most effective way for you to let your voice be heard.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So 60 minutes, finally came out.

Now it's been what? Twelve days. Fourteen days.

STU: A couple of weeks, yeah.

GLENN: A couple of weeks.

And there's been one question. Hey. Why is one answer different in the promo, than the answer you aired the next night, in the special, from Kamala Harris?

Kamala Harris was asked a question, and she gave this long convoluted answer pop Face the Nation. From that interview.

Then when it aired the next day, on CBS. The whole interview. It wasn't anything like that.

So people have been saying, can you release the transcript and release the video footage?

They always do that. For the full unedited interview, go to 60minutes.com, right?

They always do that, at least the transcript. So we've been asking for the transcript. You've been asking for the transcript.

The government has been asking for the transcript. Of the unedited interview.

So 60 minutes takes them two weeks to respond over the weekend with this. Sixty minutes gave an excerpt of our interview to face the nation, that used a longer section of her answer, than on 60 Minutes.

The statement claimed. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response.

It was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide-ranging 21-minute long subject.

Then they said, but remember, Mr. Trump pulled out of his interview with 60 Minutes. And the vice president participated.

So, wow. Is that -- why was that last line necessary in answering the other question?

That shows, they have an agenda. Why wouldn't they release this?

It's taken them two weeks.

STU: I really don't get it. Other than, there's something there, they're literally trying to hide.

GLENN: Clearly. Clearly.

STU: You can argue, in some way -- like, if someone demanded to us release a transcript of something.

Screw you. We will do what we want.

Like you could see sort of an indignant response. It's our material.

We will release what we want.

That's not the argument we're making. They're not making any argument. They're not even addressing why.

They keep saying, well, we edited to make a 20-minute segment. Well, you have 45 minutes with her.

What happened to the other 24 minutes. Why didn't you release that? You didn't to have put it in the show, even. As you point out, you could put it online.

GLENN: So here's what you need to do. You need to email. Or write snail mail.

I would suggest email. Email the stations. Make it to the general manager.

You look for your local CBS television station.

And you ask them, why they are not demanding for their own local audience. To be informed on what looks like CBS news election interference.

Here's why you write that.

Because a letter has to be saved. Any complaint like that, has to be saved for the FCC.
That's how you get their license pulled.

You don't do it, you know, nationally. CBS news doesn't have a license. But the local stations have licenses.

And those local stations will call up to CBS. And say, what are you doing to us?

Release that information.

So if you want results on this, call -- I'm sorry.

Write snail mail. Or email the general manager of your local CBS station. Do it today.

GLENN: Big news, tomorrow, I'm releasing my next book. Propaganda Wars. How the global elite control what you see, think, and feel.

We all know that we're watching propaganda. It dominates every part of our lives now. From our children's biology textbooks to presidential debate stages.

But what most people don't understand is how powerful and well-organized this propaganda scheme has become. Who are the main players that are transforming our un.

What do they have planned?

What can we do to stop them?

Find out tomorrow. Join me in the fight to take our country back.

Preorder propaganda wars now at GlennBeck.com/books or Amazon.

Wherever you get your books.

It's out tomorrow.

The -- the audiobook is tremendous, I think.

It's really, really good.

This one will tell you how to stop things.

For instance, not in this book. But let me give you one of the things that will be helpful for CBS.

We were just talking about it a minute ago. You want to stop the propaganda. Well, it seems like you can't get any answers from CBS, right?

Even Congress won't give it. They won't give an answer to Congress.

So they're hiding something. So how do you get to CBS?

CBS cares about its local affiliates.

And if the local affiliates are squeezed, they will report that to the -- to the FCC. Because they have to! So I want you to write a letter to your local CBS affiliate. Your local television.

CBS affiliate. And write it to the general manager.

CC the FCC.

So they know, there's record of this. Because all of those letters have to be saved for their renewal of their license.

And if there is an overwhelming number of letters, addressing this propaganda. And using language, about your local community.

We don't care what the rest of the country might be thinking. But we believe this is propaganda from the network.

How can you, as a local station stand by, and allow this to happen. We demand answers, from CBS.

They won't give them, the answers.

Well, you should be asking for those answers.

Otherwise, you're not serving your community. Make sure you put that in.

You're not serving your community. That's how license challenges come up.

And there isn't anyone who is a general manager, who likes to see a letter like that.

No one. Because that just gives the FCC ammunition. You just want the FCC to walk in. See your public file. And go, okay. You're good.

You don't want anything that just makes that sticky. They will call if you're starting to give them lots of letters. They will call CBS and say, can you edit this please, because this is killing us?

STU: It's a similar approach, that many took toward -- and you discussed earlier about Bud Light. It wasn't called Bud Light.

It was a tweet to Bud Light. It was talk to the distributors. And that made a real difference in that moment.

GLENN: Yeah, it was the distributors that broke the back finally. Because, remember, the distributors said, we're not going to take Bud Light.

We're not going to take it. The local bars, we're not going to take it.

And so once those distributors fall apart, they're in trouble.

STU: And it's important to understand, with 60 minutes. This is a supposedly -- a news organization.

A news program.

The news program.

GLENN: Right. Right.

STU: We are not asking them, hey. You need to ask tougher questions of Kamala Harris.

Obviously, I feel like they should.

But it's their editorial control on that aspect.

What we're asking for is what actually occurred.

We've got a presidential election decision to make. Can you tell us what went on here?

And I will be honest. At the beginning of this. They edit.

GLENN: We always do.

STU: I try to give the benefit of the doubt, whenever necessary.

Or wherever possible.

Because, you know, I'm a conservative.

And my personal political bias, is to want one side to win.

So I try to question that all the time, so I'm not just randomly. There's so many people, on the freaking internet.

Saying, everything that is good for their side.

I don't want to be that person.

GLENN: I don't either.

STU: So at the beginning of this, I kind of suspected.

60 minutes edits this stuff all the time.

You're right. They will typically release larger portions. Or context alone.

GLENN: Especially if there's a problem or question.

STU: Journalists would react that way.

We're not asking for them. We're not micromanaging the way they ask questions.

Or why didn't they follow up on this. We can complain about that all day.

We just want to know what occurred.

There's a 45-minute interview. In which they aired 21 minutes. Why are we not knowing what happened in the other 24 minutes?

Why? What happened there?

At the beginning, I was skeptical, it was something really bad for the Harris campaign. The way they're acting here, the fact that after all this pressure, they haven't just said, okay. Here it is. Just look at it.

We didn't do anything wrong.

You might have thought we made a wrong editorial choice, but it's all right there. The fact that they haven't done that in 2 weeks, makes me think, something really bad happened.

Something where she really said something, that might really damage her campaign.

And I don't know -- I don't know what to think, other than that.

This is bizarre behavior from an organization that is supposed to be protecting its journalistic credentials.

GLENN: And, you know what, it may not even be on that question.

That question --

STU: I know. It might not at all.

GLENN: Yeah. But that leads us to believe, if they're editing that question, what other questions did they -- did they do anywhere?

You need the full transcript. And the full tape.

STU: Exactly.

GLENN: Like you said, 41 minutes.

Here's what really doesn't make sense to me.

You have a woman, that is not doing interviews.

At the time, this aired. She had just started giving interviews.

So it's her first major interview, since. Who was it? ABC, I think.

STU: Dana Bash did one, with both of them. Remember that?

GLENN: Right. So it's her first major network solo interview. All right?

STU: Solo.

In a time, where everyone wants to see it. I mean, we watched it. I don't want to watch -- I'm not watching it, if Joe Biden is giving an interview. I've seen it.

Been there, done that. I've got it. I and everyone else in America. Even her supporters, wants to know where she actually stands on things.

So why would you have a 40-minute interview.

You have 41 minutes in an hour.

Okay.

And why would they only use 21 minutes with all of the setup and everything else.

That's probably. They probably used. I'll be generous.

They used 16 minutes of her actually speaking.

Okay?

Why wouldn't you -- why wouldn't you want to drive traffic even to your -- your website?

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Why wouldn't you make the entire thing.

It's not your Sunday, typical 60 Minutes. Why wouldn't you make the whole thing. Just that we sat down for an hour long interview. And you'll see it this week, on 60 minutes. Why wouldn't you do that?

STU: And I watched that whole hour, Glenn, as I mentioned. They had Tim Walz on for a second, which is moderately defensible. It's kind of a strange choice. When you have more material from Kamala Harris. Why wouldn't you air that. Instead of a Tim Walz interview, which no one cares about.

But he's on the ticket. Okay. Kind of defensible. The last 20 minutes of the show, was some produced piece about whether the Arizona election was stolen in 2020.

Like I -- and obviously, with the very heavy tilt, that it was not. And look at all these poor people that -- like campaign workers. Who got bad tweets sent to them. And things like that.

Like, you want to cover that. Right?

I don't see why it's really relevant right now. All right. Maybe you think it is.

But the idea that you would bump 15 minutes of a Kamala Harris interview with this context around it.

To air a pre-produced piece about what happened in the 2020 election in Arizona. What the hell is that -- that's the most insane decision of all time.

You want to throw stupid Tim Walz on there for a few minutes. Maybe you can defend that. Indefensible.

To leave 24 minutes on the cutting room floor of Kamala Harris.

When you're airing that. Air that another week. This is a prime time special.

This makes no sense at all.

GLENN: I would post your letter to the GM or the vice presidents of your local CBS stations.

I would post them on X.

Let people see that.

STU: Yeah. Tag us as well.

GLENN: Yeah. Tag the FCC. Make sure you tag the FCC.

STU: Note, as Glenn noted. The words, community, standards.

GLENN: Yeah. You're not serving your community.

STU: Serving your community.

GLENN: This is not helpful to our local community.

Because that's the directive, that they have to hit.

The SHOCKING TRUTH about Trump's McDonald’s appearance

Donald Trump recently stopped by a Pennsylvania McDonald’s to make French fries and work the drive thru. But, according to the media, this is actually a big scandal! It’s McDonaldsGate! - McGate? - And Glenn is here to expose it all: Did you know Trump didn’t ACTUALLY get a job at McDonald’s?! And those customers he served were – gasp! – screened beforehand! Can the media be any dumber, Glenn asks? Of course the customers were screened before meeting a man who has already survived 2 assassination attempts! But did the media see the crowd outside the venue? And do they really want to bring up “authenticity” when Kamala Harris is Trump’s opponent?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. I have to get to this McDonald's gate. McDonald's gate is really bad, Stu.

STU: I know. What do you mean?

It was a nice moment. Here's a guy, who is a billionaire. Who goes through, the McDonald hiring process.

GLENN: Please, do not spread any more mis or disinformation.

Here's the audio of Trump, managing the drive-thru at a McDonald's. Okay?

DONALD: Well, that's a good-looking group. Hold on, everybody. This is not a normal situation.

What a good-looking family. How did you produce those good-looking kids? Oh, they look -- how are you?

Nice to see you.

Thank you very much.

Thank you!

And there will be no charge, is that okay? Oh. You're doing some extra stuff.

This is all on Trump.

I'm allowed to do that, right?

VOICE: It's everything you've ever said it would be.

DONALD: It better be. I made it myself.

GLENN: Now. As could you tell as that is. Here's, quote, working, end quote, the fryolator.

STU: Okay.

VOICE: Bring that one up. I will take care of these.

STU: He's training.

GLENN: And he's making fries. Making fries.

Okay. Now, I found out, after I was bamboozled, by this video.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: I found out today, from the press, that he didn't actually work at McDonald's.

STU: What did you mean? I just saw it --

GLENN: This was a, quote, publicity stunt.

STU: What do you mean a publicity stunt? I --

GLENN: No. No.

They -- the people in line, they were all hand selected. So they weren't just strangers driving up to the drive-thru.

STU: They weren't?

GLENN: No. No.

They checked to make sure they were the right people. And you know what I mean by right people.

STU: No.

GLENN: People without guns.

STU: Oh, my gosh. So they screened.

GLENN: They screened them. Has that ever happened to you at a McDonald's drive-thru.

STU: Glenn, I have to tell you, I worked at McDonald. That was my first job. At no point, did they screen customers to come up and make sure that they were people I liked, or supported me in any way. These were just random people who walked into the McDonald's. And came up and put in the order, that they wanted at that time.

GLENN: And I bet you, had to go through an application --

STU: Yes.

GLENN: -- situation.

STU: I had to do an interview.

GLENN: You didn't just walk in and say, I'm here to work at a McDonald's.

And then they hand you the apron. That's the way it happened with him!

STU: So he didn't take the test beforehand.

GLENN: He didn't take the McDonald's test.

STU: Well, they have a little, hey. Review thing.

If I remember back in the day.

GLENN: So it's kind of a test like, are you crazy? Are you going to shoot us?

STU: No, that's not required at all.

They didn't care about that. They just wanted to make sure that I could make the fries. This is a disgrace!

GLENN: It's a disgrace. Yeah. Yeah.

STU: After all I went through to get that job, he walks in there. By the way, you have to get up in the organization to be working the drive-thru. It's not the first thing he's doing.

GLENN: Skips all of it. Skips all of it.

STU: This is unbelievable.

GLENN: He is practically the president of McDonald's.

STU: How did they uncover this stuff?

GLENN: Good journalism. Good journalism.

STU: I guess so. And they're not saying the video is AI.

GLENN: No. It's real video.

STU: What a scam. I'm voting for Kamala Harris.

She's the only honest person who seeming has worked for McDonald's. But has no evidence of it whatsoever.

GLENN: No. We don't think that she worked for McDonald's.

She just doesn't have.

By the way, here is the crowd, in front of the McDonald's.

Look at this. My gosh.

STU: Thousands of people out there.

GLENN: I mean, thousands and thousands of people out there. I've never seen an election like this.

I mean, it is -- it is crazy. Is that not just nuts?

But it goes on and on and on.

STU: It really is an impressive crowd.

Look, Donald Trump does not have a problem to get crowds to go see him.

They love him.

GLENN: People stand across the street for McDonald's.

STU: I wish I was dedicated enough for he never to do that happen.

I can't think of anything. Maybe if they were releasing a new McFlurry. I might do something like that.

GLENN: By the way -- because I want to be fair and balanced. Let me put in this message. Cut five, please. This message from Kamala Harris.

KAMALA: And, look, we all see sing Happy Tunes and Merry Christmas. And wish each other Merry Christmas. These children are not going to have a Merry Christmas.

GLENN: Oh, no.

KAMALA: How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we!

STU: Wow, that connects with me.

You know, that really pushes me toward her campaign. You know, I'm just like, wow. I also despise all of our traditions, and things that make me feel good about our country.

GLENN: Thank goodness, somebody has finally said it.

STU: Gosh, I feel so in line with Kamala Harris.

Now, that video is so would pop

I don't know why she doesn't bring it back up. It just connects.

Your Christmas memories are disgusting. She's revolted by your holiday.

GLENN: How dare you.

STU: Yeah. That's great.

GLENN: Here's cut 12.

KAMALA: Should never again, have the privilege of standing behind the seal of the president of the United States.

STU: God.

KAMALA: Never again!

STU: This is the typical Democrat mistake.

KAMALA: Never again. Never again.

STU: I have not heard word one from Hillary.

This is what -- you get more desperate from everyone behind. You're not being assertive enough. And now she's out there screaming with that voice.

GLENN: Do you have that one, where she's saying it like -- this was spontaneous.

STU: Oh, it was?

Okay.

GLENN: You just had the one up with like 12 boxes.

To the control room.

Yeah. Play this.

KAMALA: Behind the seal of the president.

GLENN: Look at.

KAMALA: Never again. Never again.

STU: Wait. It seems like she's saying the same thing in venue after venue after venue.

GLENN: Yeah. But she brings that anger with her all the time.

STU: She emphasizes things the same way.

That's strange.

GLENN: Yeah. He should never stand behind the seal of the president of the United States.

Never again! Never again!

STU: Such a dumb, dumb season.

Right?

It's like, I can't believe they're doing --

GLENN: We were the dummies. We fell for Donald Trump actually --

STU: That's what I meant, of course.

GLENN: Yeah. Such a dumb season.

How could we be that. Stupid.

STU: Are you a little surprised?

Because I think Democrats really looked at Hillary Clinton thing that should have been -- they should have won.

2016, they should have won that election. And blew it.

GLENN: They did no introspection.

There was no thought. Like, how did we lose this?

STU: See, I thought there was.

And that's why we started with joy. Right?

I know it was BS.

GLENN: No. I think they started with joy. Because I think that was actually said about the Republican Party.

Everybody was saying that.

STU: Saying what?

GLENN: They were saying, it was so joyful.

It was like happy, at the Republican convention.

STU: So they just copied them.

GLENN: And they were like, we can't let them have joy.

STU: You might be right.

I thought it was more related to the sort of approach that Biden brought to the table. And Hillary as well.

Which was this constant top five -- five alarm fire, sort of, oh, my gosh, get on the edge of your seat. Democracy is crumbling.

Blah, blah, blah. And they stayed away from that messaging for the first month or two of her campaign. Which was interesting.

GLENN: Here's the other thing.

And Donald Trump has captured it. I mean, this is a huge -- huge change.

Donald Trump has captured the magic, the -- the joy. The fun.

You know, while she's like.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: While she's doing that, he's having fun.

STU: Yeah. I feel like they tried the joy thing. Got a little burst.

It faded. Now they're realizing it's empty calories.

Now they're like, well, what do we do? And their only other page of the playbook is scream with the loss of democracy.

And I don't think that connects with the American people.

I really don't.

I feel like people are like, all right. We got it.

They might have really disliked everything that happened around the election.

January 6th, all those things.

But come up with an argument. Come up with an argument that's not just you repeating the same things you've been saying, every day since 2015.

Right?

It's not even since 2020.

It goes back to his initial things. He was stealing elections. Russia was helping him steal elections. Democracy is going to die. Vladimir Putin is going to come in and fix the voting. I mean, it's been constant. People are just bored of it. Bored.

And they don't believe it!

GLENN: Well, they don't believe it this time. Because she's so credible. Like yesterday when she went to church.

Yeah, did you see? She does this every Sunday. Here's cut four.

STU: Does she?

GLENN: Yeah. She walks in just to a church. And just kind of...

I'm just there to seek Jesus. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I shouldn't have brought that up. Because it makes me think of saying Merry Christmas, for one.

STU: This is revolting. Celebrating the birth of Jesus say disgusting thing. But let me go to church real quick. It's so fake.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: So fake.
