The BIGGEST PROBLEM with Jill Biden’s tap dancing Christmas video

Internet users roasted First Lady Jill Biden's 2023 White House Christmas video for a variety of reasons. But Glenn's biggest problem with the video wasn't its style, production quality, or tackiness. Instead, he wants to know: HOW MUCH did this cost American taxpayers?! Glenn also reviews the radical antiracist (read: "racist") views of the founder of Dorrance Dance: "THIS is who Jill Biden chose to tap dance at the White House? Oh my gosh!"

GLENN: Hi, Stu.

STU: Glenn, how are you?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. I am great! Especially since I saw the tap dancing, you know -- tap dancing, I don't even know.

STU: So you liked it.

GLENN: I liked it.

STU: So it's right up your ally. I for one, think Broadway generally sucks.

So I have no interest in the art form. Don't really get it. So to me, right off the bat, it's not interesting. But you love this stuff.

GLENN: I do love this stuff, I do. I don't like it at the White House. I would like to know: What did that video cost us?

Okay. The White House sent out Jill Biden did, a really creepy nutcracker video. If you happen to be watching Blaze TV. I will play a little bit over here.

But my problem with this, is not what I think everybody else's problem is.

STU: I think it's an interesting question. What is the problem with this video.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

Is it?

Oh, I've got one. Being on. So now a guy dressed as a flower comes out. Somebody else dressed as a rat, just in masks. And a girl is tap dancing. A black girl is tap dancing down the halls of the White House.

Here comes another black girl. He's also tap dancing. Now she's at the Christmas tree. Oh, my gosh! Look at. Look at.

Then you have Russian soldiers. Black Russian soldiers, I might.

STU: Black Russian soldiers. Is that what that is?

GLENN: Yeah. It's the nutcracker. It's the nutcracker. So they're dancing. Federal reserve.

Here's the thing. I would like to know. No, please keep this up. Because this is a very important thing. A, I would like to know how much did this cost the American people? Not impossible.

STU: I kind of doubt it though.

I would like to know.

GLENN: Maybe China. Maybe China helped to do that.

Okay.

I had a problem with this, because I wondered how much it would cost. And you look up, who did this?

And it's a Manhattan-based company. Now, Dorrance Dances, well, they're not exactly apolitical.

STU: No?

GLENN: No, they're. No, they're not.

STU: Are you sure?

GLENN: Oh, I'm positive.

Okay. Michelle Dorrance is the company's founder. And on their website, she says, I'm a white tap dancer with black cultural ancestors.

Now, I don't know what black cultural ancestors are.

I know what black ancestors are. Is it the same as a black cultural ancestor?

I don't know.

I'm a white tap dancer with black cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness.

Then she goes on to write a note on why anti-racism work is important to me.

I am easy for white audiences wanting to access and experience elements of black culture to swallow.

My whiteness is the reason you may have heard of me, before my two inspirations.

No, I've never heard of you. Okay? And neither has most Americans. Calm down, chickee.

It's imperative to me, and those who look like me to acknowledge that.

It is imperative to fight against racist norms that have defined American culture since our very origin. Amen, sister!

So what she wants to do is to make sure that the racial stereotypes, that they are overturned. And that's why, she's put together a video of black people tap dancing!

I mean, the only thing you didn't do was, holy smokes, I guess they're in the White House.

What are you thinking?

STU: I believe people of all races are allowed to dance.

GLENN: I know that. I've said that for a very long time.

STU: You have. Yes.

GLENN: I don't think tap dance is racist, but the antiracists do.

STU: Probably so.

GLENN: You're having a black person dance, what does that mean? I don't know.

He's good at tap dancing.

STU: Certainly, if Donald Trump had made a video like this, which he wouldn't have. But if he did, they would definitely accuse him of furthering racial stereotypes.

GLENN: So, anyway, the website goes on. It has a comprehensive antiracism section.

Dorrance Dance's website includes links to numerous far left organizations such as Black Lives Matter and Incite, Women of Color Against Violence. And the latter group, trumpets the anti-Semitic slogan, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, on its website.

They encourage visitors to get involved in abolition work.

Now, I am for -- are you an abolitionist?

STU: Yes.

GLENN: Yes.

Okay. I'm an abolitionist.

STU: I mean, there's an amendment to the Constitution, that largely took care of that problem.

GLENN: Slavery is still a problem.

STU: You talk about it. Certainly, when it comes to sexual slavery, and things like that.

GLENN: And also just flatout slavery. I'm an abolitionist.

STU: Absolutely.

GLENN: How do I become an abolitionist. Oh, I left out a word. Get involved in abolition work. What is prison abolition. How do I become a police abolitionist?

Okay. This is who Jill Biden chose to tap dance at the White House.

Oh, my gosh. It seems a little racist.

And then you read, oh, no. It's even more racist, than you initially thought.

Prison abolition movement considers immigrant detention centers, city and county jails, and count -- state and county jails, and state and federal prisons. Social evils that must be eradicated. Amen. I have been saying that forever.

Why lock anyone up?

There's no reason for anybody to ever be locked up.

STU: No human is illegal, Glenn!

GLENN: Amen, brother.

So she's also, you know, backing defund the police. New York, San Diego, Minneapolis, Dallas.

And there are links to several petitions, including defund and redistribute NYPD funding, by 500 million.

So they only want half a billion dollars, to be taken from the police. And then given to -- I don't know who -- I mean, it's fine for.

Another petition, demands that Gretchen Whitmer and Senator Bernie Sanders and the Justice Department free every black person incarcerated on marijuana-related charges.

Now, I don't know why you wouldn't let all the white people out too.

Or the Asians. Or the Hispanics.

I mean, why? What?

STU: Choose the bi skin color. That's the lesson we learned, from our mistakes of the past. Make sure you choose people by skin color.

GLENN: Right.

Now, she also has the tapdancing happy section of the site. Educate yourself, which has the New York Times 1619 Project.

STU: Of course it does.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then she promotes white fragility. Why it's so hard for white people to talk about racism. I don't know, because I keep hearing black tapdancers. You know, I don't know.

Would you like to throw some fried chicken or some watermelon in the scene too?

I'm not really sure.

I mean, you couldn't be more stereotypical of what people say is racist.

I don't think tap dancing is racist.

But everybody that's antiracist always was, oh, you're going to have them tap dancing, are you?

No. It just calls for a tap dancing section.

And this is the best person I could find.

It could be a white person. It could be a black person. It could be an Asian person.

I don't know. It doesn't matter to me.
But it certainly matters to you. But let's talk about intersectionality. Okay?

STU: I know what's on your mind.

Yes, intersectionality.

GLENN: Okay. We have to make sure that the people -- the people who have been oppressed, and stereotyped, we need to make sure, we don't stereotype them.

Like I am so sick and tired of hearing that effeminate men who are dancers on Broadway, are just dressed up as flowers, and dancing around.

And so what does she do?

She dresses an effeminate man dress up as a flower. And has her dancing around.

Oh, my gosh. I don't know.

STU: So is this is your problem with this?

GLENN: No. My biggest problem is, how much did we pay for this?

I want to know.

Because the money is going, I can guarantee you, to expand this poison in our society.

You know, from the river to the sea. Whatever.

STU: Yeah. Because that's the one I came back to as well.

People were asking. Well, what's -- what's the problem with this?

Basically, they're just asking, hey, what's the -- hey.

It's their way of wishing us a happy holiday.

Tave Marcus said this.

Good guy.

Good conservative.

And he said, you know, I don't know. Are we getting too offended over everything.

It's a bunch of people wishing us happy holiday.

There's something to that.

We can be oversensitive on this stuff.

GLENN: I have --

STU: The cost is where I came back to. That looked like it cost a lot of money.

GLENN: A lot of money.

STU: Maybe it didn't. Maybe it didn't.

GLENN: Really?

STU: I think the government is very efficient.

GLENN: Yeah. No. They had -- they had the military come in and stage that.

STU: I'm sure it was shot on an i Phone. No pros --

GLENN: This is unbelievable. Unbelievable.

I have no problem with them doing this. I have no problem with the way it looks. I didn't think of racism. I didn't think of anything.

All I thought of at first was, what did this cost us? And then I started looking into it. And then I see who is doing it.

And I'm like, oh, so we're also funneling money to antiracist propaganda, to racist people.

And she wants to make sure the stereotypes are broken. And so she has black people tap dancing!

I can't take it.

STU: I don't want my government using resources for this.

If you really want a stretch, right?

The very last second of this video, is a text screen, that says happy holidays or something.

That's about as much as I want from you.

I don't even need that. I don't need you to wish me happy holidays at all.

GLENN: Send a Christmas card.

STU: Right. I just -- you want to put some text on a tweet, that's fine.

That's about as far as -- deal with things you're supposed to be dealing with.

GLENN: Right, and I have no problem with just the Christmas thing. I mean, the Obamas, remember. They just put presents everywhere, and there was no reference to Christ.

And I think they took down the White House nativity.

STU: And the Mao ornament.

GLENN: And the Mao ornament, fine. Whatever.

STU: Not fine.

GLENN: No. I was upset about it. But it's not this.

This is -- they compare it to the hunger games. And it really kind of is.

STU: It has that theater in it. It's not my preference. Not my preference.

GLENN: Yeah. So now the Boston mayor has apologized. Because Michelle Woo defended the long-standing practice of having segregated holiday parties for those elected of color.

So -- so they sent out -- an email to all of the elected representatives and said, hey, we're having a holiday party for elected of color.

And the white people were like, we're having a, what?

And she has apologized. She has apologized for accidentally sending the invite to white people.

STU: Oh. Those darn white people.

You ever notice that all of the problems go back to these white people. All the time.

It's always white people.

GLENN: Right. And I guess it makes it better.

Like the Klan. They never sent any invitations out to black people. Okay?

STU: No. No.

GLENN: Not once.

Now, they were I'm sure, at their holiday parties.

Which wasn't really a party for the black person that might have been forced into attendance.

Okay?

But we ended segregation.

We thought segregation was bad.

And her apology was not for having segregated parties. But because I let the white people know. And that made them upset.

And I'm really sorry.

And, by the way, you're in Boston. Home of Harvard.

You're Asian. You're not really a person of color. Don't you know that?

You're white.

STU: Yeah. They get the worst part of that with Harvard. They get brought to the Supreme Court. Because they were so anti-Asian at Harvard.

I mean, that's -- that's amazing.

GLENN: Okay. Now, one last story, real quick.

A Louisiana woman with three husbands.

Who practices vikism.

Allegedly held a fourth partner captive as a sex slave, forcing her to denounce her Christianity. And offer her a puppy as a ritual sacrifice to the Viking gods.

I think I'm out. I think I'm out.

Okay. Happy holidays. Good night, everybody.

Why Peanut the Squirrel PERFECTLY summarizes the 2024 election

The internet was outraged after the euthanization of social media star Peanut the Squirrel by New York authorities, along with his housemate Fred the Raccoon. The pet squirrel was forcibly taken from his home in an all-out raid after a neighbor reported that he might have rabies. And somehow, it quickly turned into a rallying cry for the MAGA crowd against government tyranny. Glenn and Stu review the story, which proves we’re living in “Clown World,” as Glenn’s new book, “Propaganda Wars,” describes. Is this just a distraction, or is there a legitimate reason why this is the top story a day before the 2024 election? The truth is more shocking than Glenn and Stu expected …

GLENN: Do I think this is the weaponization of government?

Yes. Some anonymous person made a complaint. Apparently said, he might have rabies. The person came in without the permission of the people, and grabbed him, and he bit him.

Of course he did! My dog might bite you too if you are aggressive to my family.

What the hell is this? Now, I don't know about you. But I suspect Karen.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: That's what I -- that's who I suspect.

All Karens should be investigated today. And let me make this promise. If Donald Trump is elected, oh, all the Karens will be investigated. And probably, probably put in a camp someplace.

They're already building it, you know they are.

STU: This is an insane story.

GLENN: Insane.

STU: And it is so bizarre, when you're talking about the actual content of what occurred here.

You're talking about a squirrel and a raccoon, living as a pet. All of that. It is also one of the most egregious abuses of government power, I can ever remember.

It's like one of those things similar to -- like women's sports, where we talk about the transgender issue. There's a million different things that are really important about the transgender issue. Women's sports is not probably number one. The fact that a lot of medals get taken away.

It's dramatic. I have a girl, this might happen to. It's concerning. It's not the most serious part. It's the part that brings it home. Like the most. Right?

Moms and dads are like, wait a minute, my daughter will get hit in the face with a volleyball at 120 miles an hour. What are we talking about here? Right?

GLENN: Right.

STU: This is kind of in a weird way, sort of the same.

GLENN: It is! It is.

STU: You don't think about, it's a squirrel being killed. They get run over 9 trillion times a day.

GLENN: You know, can you stop just holding up the squirrel while you forget Fred the raccoon?

STU: I know, he's getting the shaft. Poor Fred.

GLENN: Poor Fred.

STU: But, I mean, if they will do this to a family, that is -- has documented all of this millions of millions of people. Followed this.

They see the squirrel is the little most adorable thing, jumping around. And the fact that they would do this.

GLENN: It's crazy.

STU: Knowing how visible it was. Just shows that they don't care. You think they care about you?

These people have millions and millions of people watching their daily life with this.

They took the squirrel and murdered it!

For no reason at all! In the most visible way possible.

They will not care about what your little complaint is.

Let me just point out, for no reason possible?

STU: No reason.

GLENN: Really? Okay.

Let me just quote Jen, early voter, Reuben from the Washington Post.

STU: Oh, God.

GLENN: Quote, the MAGA squirrel deserved to die. Now, I think this is both an absolutely ridiculous clown world story.

But I also think, it is a microcosm of everything this election is about.

Everything!

You know, they called Donald Trump vengeful.

They're going to get the MAGA squirrel, and kill him!

These people with peace in their hearts.

These animal lovers. The ones who just love the planet. Take an innocent squirrel.

That if he had a MAGA hat on, I can guarantee you, he didn't know what the hat was.

Not that he didn't know it was a MAGA hat!
He didn't even know it was a hat! And they kill him! This is nuts.

STU: Is that a squirrel joke?

GLENN: You've got a squirrel joke?

STU: You just said, it's nuts. You said, this is nuts. That's the ultimate squirrel joke. You made it, and didn't even realize it.
(laughter)

STU: I am really shocked by this, though.

I don't know -- I don't know, it's funny. Because I don't -- did the -- did the people who the parents -- did the parents of the squirrel, are their politics known at all?

Like, are they?

GLENN: I don't know. Apparently, she deleted this post, because she started to get hammered for it.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But Jen Reuben, Washington Post. She seems to know, it was a MAGA squirrel. I haven't asked the squirrels in my area, who they're for.

So there's no little teeny squirrel signs that I've seen for Trump, around any of the trees that I have in my house.

STU: I have heard that particular squirrel, peanut, supports lower corporate taxes.

So I'm concerned.

But it became a political issue. Not because --

GLENN: Everything is political!

STU: But not because -- as far as I know, these were like big MAGA people, who had a squirrel.

It's because the people who want your squirrel to live, are conservatives!

The people who don't want the government to have the power, to invade your home. And take your pets.

And murder them, for no reason, that's now a political issue!

Because the left wants the government to have that power!

They do. They want them to be able to do that. And they might say, well, I love my pet.

What are you talking about?

I love my pet, and I'm voting for Kamala Harris.

It doesn't matter, what you're advocating for is the power of the government to be able to do this stuff to you.

GLENN: And you believe that it will never do it to you!

STU: Uh-huh, which is selfish, by the way. Incredibly selfish.

That you don't care about anybody else, because you don't think it might happen to you.

That's not -- that's an incredibly selfish, instinct. You have that already.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Who did I see over the weekend, talk about, you know, people wonder how -- people just in Germany, just went full-fledged Nazi. And he said, look, what happened with COVID.

He's like, I'll bet you, at least 30 percent of our population, couldn't wait to turn a neighbor in!

Because it signaled their virtue.

STU: First among them, Tim Walz, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah. Put a hotline up. A hotline up.

STU: Report your neighbors.

If they're not handling an illness the way you want them to.

GLENN: That's unbelievable.

STU: This man, might be vice president, after he did that. Just that.

Forget the fact that he allowed cities to burn to the ground. And the other crap that he's been doing.

GLENN: Well, this time. This time, they're not taking any chances.

They have put the National Guard on standby, in Seattle, Washington.

Portland. And Washington, DC.

You know, all those deeply red areas.
(laughter)
A lot of tiki torchers, parades going on.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're worried about all the Trump supporters there.

STU: Well, Jussie Smollett is one of the first, that let us know, that MAGA country is not exactly where we think it is.

Sometimes it's downtown Chicago, sometimes it's Portland, Oregon. Right. That's MAGA country, for you.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, we have infiltrated all those areas with the squirrels.

So and they are pissed.

6 things Trump WILL FIX in a second presidential term

If Donald Trump is elected to a second term as president, many things will change. Glenn predicts that we will no longer be on a direct path to global war, the bureaucracy will be cleaned up, many illegal immigrants will be deported, the nonstop lies will end, migrant crime will go down, and the government will stop persecuting pro-life protesters. Even Californians are starting to wake up to the reality of leftist policies. But has America really had enough?

GLENN: I think Trump is doing an amazing job. He's giving us the campaign I hoped he was going to give us. But I really didn't think he would. You know, everybody bought into, including me, that he was going to be, you know. I lost the election. They're after me.

And kind of a -- you know, a grudge tour. Because I think I would have been tempted to do that. But he hasn't. He has been fun, funny. Relatable.

He's -- he's not doing any grudge stuff.

In fact, this week, he said, and I disagree with this. But he said, I even consider pardoning Hunter Biden.

You know, I hope not.

But, I mean, he's not holding grudges. He's just doing the work for the American people.

And I think that's because he's been out on the road, every day, for what? A year and a half?

He said, last night. Remember, he will become a dictator. He will never leave office.

He said, last night, this is kind of sad. We're six days away from the election.

And I won't be doing this stuff anymore.

I won't be traveling around. This has really been fun, to do this. Since 2016.

And last six days of doing it. So he's not going to be doing rallies anymore. I guess that's just because he -- he becomes a dictator, and a Nazi. And then he doesn't do rallies anymore. Because Hitler never did rallies.

Anyway, some of the things that this election is about, that it's really, really important. Because this will decide which way we turn.

For instance, war.

One vote, I truly believe is a vote for global war.

And not that Kamala wants it. Although, I actually think the people around her, do.

If you listen to her acceptance speech, it was like neocon central. I mean, I've never heard anything like it, from a Democrat. They were saying, we've got to go get them!

Scary. Really scary.

If you choose Kamala, I think not only do some of the people around her, want war. The machine wants war.

But also, she's so incompetent, that all of our enemies are going to come out of the woodwork.

Donald Trump, if he's elected on the other hand, I mean, he said, just yesterday, he is telling Benjamin Netanyahu, this war, you've got to be finished before I get into office because it's got to be finished.

We're done. We're done. He also said that with the Ukrainian conflict, that that will be done, as well. I believe both of those. And we have two people, on record. We have Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, who said they were going to end all the wars. He increased the wars.

He killed more people. Donald Trump, first president in probably my lifetime, that didn't start any new wars.

In fact, was ending them.

And that's just coming from strength. Now there's a story in the New York Times today, the U.S. Army prepares for war with China!

New vehicles. Face paint. And a 1200-foot fall. From the New York Times. A big and cumbersome army is trying to transform itself to deploy quickly to Asia, if needed.

Early one morning this month, 864 Army paratroopers bundled into a C-17 transport plane, and from a base in Alaska.

And took off for the great power war, exercise between three volcanic mountains on Hawaii's Big Island.

Only 492 made it. Some of the C-17s had trouble with their doors, while others were forced to land early.

A few of the parachutes, who did make it, or parachutist that did make it landed with sprained ankles or suffered head trauma.

And one 19-year-old private began to fall quickly when his chute didn't open. Good heavens!

So we're preparing for war, and we're telling everybody, how incompetent we are!

We're becoming the former Soviet Union.

That will end! Under Donald Trump.

Let's see. There's another story today. House COVID panel, refers Andrew Cuomo for potential prosecution.

Why? Stu, I know you -- hey. I know you love Andrew Cuomo, huh?

STU: I do. Oh, yes.

GLENN: What did he do that was so wrong?

STU: How many people do you have to kill, to be classified as wrong? What's the number on that?

I know Jeffrey Dahmer got a special. Maybe it has to be more than him.

The Menendez brothers seem to be under that line. Whatever the line is, he's above it, though.

The fact that when you take COVID positive patients. And shove them into nursing homes with the most vulnerable people.

You should be prosecuted for all sorts of things.

GLENN: Yeah. And what they're talking about here is not just, you know, killing people.

Cuomo was accused of engaging in conscious, calculated effort to avoid accountability for his handling of nursing homes. Where thousands of people died of COVID.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: So they will go after him, for really, basically, the cover-up.

So that ends.

By the way, colleges, must pay up for COVID-19 vaccine mandate injuries.

That's from the G.O.P.

That's going to end!

This whole -- this whole mandate crap?

It's over if Donald Trump comes in. In fact, I think Fauci and the entire CDC and the FDA, all of this stuff. Donald Trump said last night. That's what he's giving to -- to RFK.

To clean house!

Go in, and clean this up.

That is a huge, massive, massive change.

By the way, something else that will change. Probably the immigration status of a lot of people.

Those who came here illegally, are going to be removed, under Donald Trump can.

Now, so you know, the left pretends this is impossible.

The guy who exported more illegals, than any other president in history, was Bill Clinton! He -- he removed 11 million illegals from our country. And I didn't even know that fact. Did you? I had no idea!

So it has been done in the past. And it can be done again.

And, by the way, that was, you know, 25 years ago, with a smaller population, than we have now.

And nobody really noticed it.

So what's the problem this time?

Also, do you remember the German family. Their immigrants, they came here.

In exile.

Because Germany was banning homeschooling.

And they were going to take their children away. Because they were teaching them about God, and everything else.

And so they came here.

For exile. And Barack Obama wanted to kick them out.

Joe Biden has wanted to kick them out. And they live year to year. And they are doing really, really well.

Everybody in their community, they love these guys.

I think that will change. Their status, Joe Biden just gave them another year to stay here, before he kicks them out.

I think possibly, Donald Trump will give them the freedom to stay here, and maybe citizenship, if they want it.

I think they do, quite badly. The other thing that will end, the non-stop lies. Do you remember the gunman that shot the Jewish man, walking to a synagogue.

He was in Chicago's West Rogers Park neighborhood. He shot a guy walking in to the synagogue. The police arrest him. After there's a shoot-out. Okay?

With him.

The police say, well, we're not sure what the motive was.

Okay. It was a Jewish guy going into the synagogue, and his name is Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi.

Okay. I'm pretty sure -- I've got a guess on what the motive might be. A shooting of somebody going into the synagogue.

Might. Might. Could be wrong.

But, of course, police don't know at this point. So they won't say anything.

Even though, witnesses have said, he screamed, Allahu Akbar! We don't know what that means. He just was like looking at the trees going, God is great! That could be it. Oh, and also, another quick little fact, that has just come out.

He's an illegal alien. He came across our border illegally. So yet another shooting, that didn't need to happen, and won't, under Donald Trump.

There is a huge sea tile change in this country, that is happening. People have had enough. Even people in California, according to new statewide polling, Californians are posed to pass billions in new spending, and approve new spending powers, while also cracking down on crime!

This is a part that you need to hear. Statewide Public Policy Institute of California poll, found 73 percent of voters support Proposition 36. Which -- now, this is crazy. I want you to know.

This would allow for felony charges, for serial thieves and major drug crimes. Now, this is the opposite of what passed in 2014.

Proposition 47, that turned the drug crimes and the theft crimes into misdemeanors.

And it would also create a treatment mandated felony, crime class, that would allow individuals to complete mental health or substance abuse treatment, instead of going to prison.

But this proposition 47 was -- was sold to the voters of California. It's going to save us money.

Uh-huh.

It's going to reduce prison populations.

It did that. And we're going to invest the money in social programs, that will reduce future crime.

Yeah. Those things didn't happen. Increased crime?

Trial no-shows. People are just like, I'm not going to show up.

What are they going to do? And people committing the same crime, over and over and over again.

Once they are caught. Californians have had enough of this BS.

What do you think the rest of the country is going to say?

Also, I just want to throw this in. Stop drinking the poison that the rest of the Western world is -- is drinking right now.

Do you remember the guy, who in England, he went in to some dance recital class. And it was a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. He killed three children. Six, seven, and nine years old.

Six other girls and two adults were also injured. This is what caused all of the uprisings. Now, what was the government saying? What were the people saying?

The people were saying that this guy is a -- an immigrant that came in, and is not loyal to the crown. They're not loyal to the ideas of the West.

He's an Islamic terrorist. Well, everyone went crazy. You can't say that!

What are you talking about? He was just a good UK citizen, just gone wrong.

Uh-huh. And remember what they said, about the people.

The people who were marching in the streets, saying, this has got to stop.

They called them extremists, and Nazis, and everything else.

They said for months, that this was not a terrorist institute. Well, now that everybody has forgotten, they have decided to charge him with terror.

Not only was he found in cahoots with al-Qaeda and having al-Qaeda documents in his room, but they also found that he was making ricin for a bigger attack.

Now, this is something, the government knew, had to have known, at the time. But they allowed the press and government officials, to take their own citizens who were -- who were concerned about terrorists being in their neighborhoods.

And being swept off as heroes. They called them garbage.

There is a sea change coming. There is a sea change coming.

So those things are going to stop, immediately, under Donald Trump.

Now, if Harris wins, what gets worse?

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

'Yellowstone' Star’s Fight to Make America ‘Cowboy’ Again | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 234

Do you know why a cowboy takes his hat off before dinner? Forrie J. Smith from "Yellowstone" says it’s all part of the “cowboy culture.” In this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Forrie recounts his career — from cowboy to stuntman to beloved actor — and that one time he had to track down “illegals” wreaking havoc on his ranch at the U.S.-Mexico border. He and Glenn discuss the decline in American beef, how social media has created political silos, and the transgender agenda being pushed on America’s youth in public schools. “When you start messing with my children ... with my animals, you crossed a line,” Forrie says, which is why he isn’t afraid to ask the questions that make most actors' knees buckle. Will the 2024 election be secure? What will be done with all the fentanyl flowing across our open border? Forrie isn’t worried about what the rich and powerful think. As he says, they’ll come looking for him when disaster strikes because he can “survive with a knife.” With all his success, he’s most proud that everywhere he’s lived he’s been called a “good neighbor,” even by that one neighbor with “different politics,” who wants to relocate the rattlesnakes in the front yard when Forrie would rather just shoot them.

What everyone's MISSING about the New York Times/Media Matters THREAT against YouTube

The New York Times recently released something that Glenn describes as "nothing other than a threat to Google and YouTube to silence anyone who is disagreeing." The piece, titled "Election Falsehoods Take Off on YouTube as It Looks the Other Way", was based on research done by the leftist "watchdog" Media Matters, which Glenn has exposed over and over again as a propaganda arm of the uber-Left used to destroy conservative voices. Glenn reviews the article, which insists that YouTube must crack down on election "misinformation" about the 2020 election and prepare to do the same for the 2024 election. But there's one part of this story that Glenn says everyone is missing: The Times had to make a correction at the end of the article that turns this whole story into "nothing" ...

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So while they are doing this with Liz Cheney, you have the New York Times. Election falsehoods, take off on YouTube. As it looks the other way.

Now, this story, we've known has been coming now for about a week. And they finally published it today.

This is nothing other than a threat to Google and YouTube, to silence anyone who is disagreeing.

And I will give you -- I will give you the -- the one thing that everybody has missed on this. At the end of this story. Okay. So the YouTube -- this story from the New York Times is this: In June 2023, YouTube decided to stop fighting the most persistent strain of election misinformation in the United States, the falsehood that President Biden stole the 2020 election from Donald J. Trump. Now, I ask you first, if you just want to be a fair arbiter. Are they stopping all of the videos of Hillary Clinton saying in 2016, that he's an illegitimate president? That he knew he was an illegitimate president, that Russia had aided him in winning it?

Are they limiting those? Or demonetizing any of those videos?

The answer is no. It's just the 2020.

Within months, the largest video platform, became a home for election conspiracy theories.

Half-truths, and lies.

They in turn, became the source of revenue for YouTube. Which announced growing quarterly ad sales on Tuesday.

Now, what is that?

Why is that there?

Because that is the New York Times, through Media Matters, telling YouTube, we could boycott you, and your advertisers. We'll cause hell to rain down on you.

That's a threat, believe it or not, to Google. While Media Matters.

Based this entire story on Media Matters. You know who Media Matters is. Media Matters was started, with Hillary Clinton and George Soros.

It is nothing, but a -- a tool, used by the uber left, to destroy anyone who can make any kind of impact with conservative arguments.

That's all it is.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: While Media Matters is a progressive organization, that regularly criticizes conservatives, reporters and academics, frequently cite it as a source of YouTube misinformation, because it devotes significant resources to tracking the vast platform. They're not tracking the vast platform. They're tracking conservatives. Okay?

STU: No. They're coming up -- they start and reverse-engineer.

GLENN: Yes!

STU: Who do we want to destroy?

Find a way to destroy them. That's what they do.

GLENN: Right! And this is well-documented.

And at first, I really thought. When I was at CNN. And Media Matters was just starting. I really thought, okay. They don't know.

The media doesn't know. They get used to. In the old days, they get faxes. Now they get emails.

All of the reporters. All the networks. Even Fox.

They get something from Media Matters, every day. Says, these are the targets.

This is what's going on.

And they run with them. Now, back in 2004, maybe, you could understand that. Because they were new.

Now, everyone knows what they are. And here's the New York Times.

Kowtowing.

30 conservative channels are on YouTube, posted 286 videos, containing election misinformation.

Which racked up more than 47 million views.

YouTube generated revenue for more than a third of those videos, by placing ads before and during them.

Researchers found. Researchers, meaning Media Matters.

Some commentators also made money from those videos, and other monetized features available to members of the YouTube Member Partner Program.

Commentators included former elected officials such as Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Journalists like Tucker Carlson, who said the last presidential election was stolen. And popular pundits like Ben Shapiro, who said Democrats rigged the voting rules in 2020.

Now --

STU: I've heard him talk about that before. Ben Shapiro. In particular.

GLENN: Who you know he quoted?

This is an actual quote. Okay? The New York Times.

He was quoting the New York Times. That led him to that conclusion. The way they had -- you know, Marc Elias. And everybody, all the engineering because of COVID. And all of the lawsuits and getting things changed.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: That's what he was talking about.

STU: Right. He's not one that believes in Sidney Powell conspiracy theories. He's been very clear. That the technical rule changes, before the election, may very well have been the determining factor.

GLENN: Right. And he said, they rigged it. They legally rigged it.

They went in, and they did everything. And the Republicans were just asleep at the switch.

But he doesn't think that it was stolen. Now, that's very, very clear.

But notice the New York Times doesn't make that clear.

GLENN: Hmm. Shocking.

GLENN: Then he goes on, YouTube, which is owned by Google, has prided itself on connecting viewers with authoritative information about elections. But in this presidential context, it has acted as a megaphone for conspiracy theories.

A research director, at Media Matters, who led the analysis, said, YouTube is allowing these right-wing accounts and channels to undermine the 2024 results.

YouTube spokesperson said that the company reviewed eight videos, identified by the Times. And the ability to openly debate political ideas, even those that are controversial, is -- is appear important value. Especially in the midst of election season.

Most of the 30 channels are ineligible for advertising.

So they've already cut the money off.

Okay? You watch any of my videos. I don't make a dime on YouTube.

Don't make a dime on YouTube. Nothing. They have so suppressed our numbers. We haven't grown in I don't even know, five years. It's not even possible.

We're growing everywhere, by leaps and bounds. I am -- I am more -- the footprint, let's say it this way. That sounds very egotistical.

The footprint of this program is bigger than it ever has been. Okay?

We're growing in every metric, except for social media. Now, how does that happen?

How does that happen?

Most of the 30 channels are ineligible for advertising. Some had previously violated the company's content policies.

The spokesperson added this report, demonstrates our consistent approach to enforcing our policies.

But in June 2023, the platform reversed course, saying, creators were allowed to dispute the outcome of any past presidential race, as YouTube tried to offer a home for open discussion and debate during the ongoing election season.

Now, does that sound bad?

Does that sound bad? We can debate anything, in this nation. Anything.

And anyone who is trying to silence that debate. I don't even want to -- to silence Holocaust deniers.

Let them hang themselves with their own words. Okay?

You should be able to debate anything. It's the United States of America. So YouTube says, we're just trying to be a home for discussion, and debate!

Okay. YouTube declined to comment on how it would reimpose a ban on misinformation.

About the outcome of the race.

YouTube removed only three of the videos that Media Matters found and placed information labels on them.

To link to factual information, on 20 of them. Though most of the election labels were later removed.

Some of the commentators seized on the news of the events.

Mr. Trump's conviction on May 30th. On 34 felony counts. Cash Patel. Who served in the Trump administration.

Posted. On an independent television network. That the justice system was rigged against the former president, to interfere with the election.

Can you imagine this not being said by the Democrats, if the roles were reversed?

Of course. Of course they would say that.

The entire media would be saying that. That these are all rigged juries. They place them in Washington DC. Or New York.

You can't get a fair trial.

Blah, blah, blah. The New York Times goes on to say, well, no. That's true.

Mike Davis, a former Senate aid, who runs a judiciary advocacy group called the Article 3 project, claimed that Mr. Biden, his allies, and his aides, were behind Mr. Trump's convictions.

Mr. Davis said, Biden is behind the unprecedented indictments of Trump.

He responded to questions from the New York Times, with an attack on the Times reporting, on a post in X.

There is also a swell of misinformation. From 30 other YouTube creators in July, when republicans in the House passed the Save Act, which would require voters to provide proof of citizenship.

The bill did not become law. But it prompted inaccurate claims on YouTube.

That the undocumented immigrants voted en masse in 2020, and would do the same this fall.

In a Fox news appearance, Senator Ted Cruz, Republicans from Texas, said Democrats wanted more than 11 million undocumented immigrants to vote.

Democrat -- Democrat Party has decided that the voter fraud is good for them.

Okay. None of this is shocking at all.

What's shocking is the correction, at the end of the New York Times story.

They added this: A YouTube spokesperson said that the company reviewed eight videos identified by the Times. Ready?

Which was pointed out to the Times by Media Matters. Then the Times took those, and gave them to YouTube. And said, these are the ones we're talking about.

And those videos, according to YouTube, did not violate its community guide lines.

So this whole story is nothing!

Is nothing!

STU: Shocker.

GLENN: They came up with 30. They said, here are the eight worst, send these to the Times. The Times then took Media Matters at its word. Went to YouTube, with all these accusations and threats.

And YouTube watched them and said, well, they don't violate any of our guidelines. So what do we do?

STU: Hilarious.

GLENN: This is craziness.

STU: The failure. Imagine failing this often.

What kind of organization would ton exist with this level of failure.

GLENN: It's pathetic.

It's really embarrassing. It's really embarrassing.

It's not really failure. Even if your story is having an impact and you're embarrassing yourself, if you're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars coming into your bank account, I guess.

GLENN: I guess, if that's how you want to live your life. It just leads to misery.
