During the Trump-Harris ABC News Presidential Debate, moderator David Muir "fact checked" Trump when he said that crime is on the rise. Well, it turns out that Trump was RIGHT. Everything Trump said in response to the "fact check" has now been proven true: Crime IS up and the numbers now show it after a shockingly large FBI "stealth edit" of the 2022 data. So, will ABC News apologize? Probably not. Glenn discusses how the mainstream media has become a propaganda arm of the government and progressives.

GLENN: I want to talk to you. I found this book from mom squad.com. It is the Ten Commandments does is and voting.
It is so good.
We were just going to talk about what the FBI is doing. They released in footnotes, a change to the -- the crime stats.
A massive change to crime stats.
And you're looked at Kamala Harris. They're lying, over and over and over again, about Donald Trump.
And people will say, well, Donald Trump lies too!
I want you to know, there are three types of lies.
This is from your candidate should avoid three types of lie. The ten commandment is thou shall not bear false witness.
Okay?
Your candidate should avoid these three types of lies. The -- the easiest way to know if your candidates are honest. Is to look for the lies they tell.
And the way they tell them.
There are three main types of lies. Commission, omission, and paltering.
So commission is outright lying.
Deleting facts that are important, like CBS seems to be doing, is also another form of lie.
And paltering. Paltering is not as common as a lie, but it is the slipperiest one. Because paltering is using a series of truthful statements to say something false.
Okay? So how do you find -- because you have to vote for one of these two people. So how do I balance?
A lot of people say, well, they both lie.
All right. So let's do this. According to -- according to this Ten Commandments and voting pook. Candidates should be honest.
This is already a big ask. Chances are your candidates have been dishonest about something at some point.
Keep that in mind. So has everybody. This is not about perfection. This is intent.
Are your candidates trying to mislead you?
Is Donald Trump trying to mislead you?
I think the answer to that is absolutely, no.
He's not trying to mislead you.
Can you think of a lie he's told?
He's -- well, I guess -- well, you know. I had more people at that -- at my inauguration.
STU: I mean, look.
GLENN: But that's harmless.
Still.
Are they trying to be honest?
Are their motives honest and pure?
Are their policies backed by their belief?
That's one I know for sure, Donald Trump's policies are backed by his belief.
Do they follow through on their promises?
He has. How often are they dishonest.
Okay. I want to show you something that this whole system, is so corrupt. Fox. Or I'm sorry. The FBI has now come out and changed.
Covertly changing the crime stats. Okay?
Democratic operatives and the liberal media have claimed that crime is going down.
You know, and they show you the FBI data.
Well, the FBI has screwed with the numbers.
The Crime Prevention Research Center, reported that the FBI stealthily changed its crime data for 2022. A year in which cities like Phoenix, New York City, and Los Angeles, failed to submit any crime data.
And then they said, this is a finished report and crime is down.
Well, now, they say, well, okay. It didn't fall by 2.1 percent. It's actually -- it's actually up.
The 2022 violent crime rate has been updated for inclusion. There were 80,029 more violent crimes. 1600 more murders.
7,780 more rapes.
33,000 more robberies. And 37,000 more aggravated assaults.
Okay. That sounds like a big miss, doesn't it?
But here's where it gets insidious. They just put this in the footnotes. They didn't make a big deal out of it.
They continue to mess with the numbers. How many times have they gotten the unemployment rate wrong, so you get the headlines of, we're good?
And then a month later, they're like, we're not so good. Okay?
They give tells me a talking point that crime is actually down, when we all knew -- if you believe your own eyes. And don't listen to the media. You know what's true already.
And let me show you how Donald Trump is made to look like a conspiracy theorist.
Or a madman.
And how the media actually helps them do it.
This is from the debate. ABC.
DONALD: Crime is down all over the world, except here. Crime here is up and through the roof. Despite their fraudulent statements that they made, crime in this country is through the roof. And we have a new form of crime. It's called migrant crime.
And it's happening at levels that nobody thought possible.
VOICE: President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country.
DONALD: Excuse me, the FBI defrauded -- they were defrauding statements. They didn't include the worst cities. They didn't include the cities with the worst crime.
It was a fraud. Just like their number of 818,000 jobs that they said they created turned out to be a fraud.
GLENN: He was right!
STU: It's notable.
It wasn't Kamala Harris fact-checked on him that.
It was the moderator doing it.
GLENN: Well, she was making faces. He's crazy. What is he saying?
STU: She just didn't know. The moderator didn't know what the line was, and that was a report that was released by the FBI. But it was not complete.
And now we know what the result is.
GLENN: This, by the way, is the largest percentage increase that we've ever seen.
Okay?
The largest percentage increase that we've ever seen.
In the last -- yeah. Since they've been releasing these statistics.
They have -- they have gone up, a little bit. And corrected by just a refraction of percentages.
GLENN: As far as the correction goes.
Got it.
When they have the -- the correction. It will go up just a little bit.
It's never done anything like this.
This was intentional!
Again, to give her talking points.
You'll notice, CBS, another liar. CBS will not release the transcripts.
Of two shows!
STU: This is incredible.
GLENN: They will not release the transcripts. You know when they will release them, if they have to?
After Donald Trump is elected. Okay?
Because they'll be forced to do that. But this is exactly the same thing with the Joe Biden laptop.
Nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. Oh, wait. I guess that is true!
After the decision has been made.
They're holding this for as long as they possibly can get away with it.
Why?
Because people are voting today!
If you had the information, that CBS had edited her -- her answer.
And made her look better. By pulling an answer from some other question, and putting it there. Instead of her meandering around it. In a word salad.
Would you be less likely to vote for her. Or more likely to vote for her?
Would you trust the media more or less?
It's -- it's quite remarkable.
By the way, here's some good news.
The trust in the media is at the lowest ever.
And the trust of the Supreme Court is actually up to be higher than it was before the Dobbs decision.
So while they're trashing the Supreme Court, people are looked at that argument and going, I don't think that's true. I have faith in the Supreme Court. It went down. And now it's back up.
I find that interesting, and a little bit inspiring.
STU: Yeah. That's -- that is positive.
And, you know, you get to that point. Where you watch, I think people and the media, the way they respond to these things.
And you lose -- you lose faith a little bit.
I mean, watching.
Watching this sort of stuff go on.
It's really depressing.
At times. I was watching an interview last night. The way she's so evasive.
It really became, you know, really became depressing.
They're talking about the crime stats, situation.
That was -- a media firestorm, at the time.
That, you know, he's misquoting it.
It wasn't just at the debate. This happened several other times. And the fact-checking.
You have to step in. You have to correct his facts. You know what their spin is now?
Why are we talking about 2022 crime statistics? That's way in the past. That's way in the past.
Now, it was important a few weeks ago. When she was winning debate points.
Because the moderator made Donald Trump look like he was lying.
But now we're at the position. Come on. 2022. Let's look to the future.
GLENN: That's the way it is. Every single time.
STU: It is. Every single thing they can do.
You're just at that point now, where they will do anything to get him out of -- make sure he's not office. Anything they can do to get Kamala in.
We're beyond the part where they will report on truth. And, look, I'm as skeptical as anybody on the mainstream media.
There are times, where they will report things. And they will check a box here or there.
To say, no, we covered that.
We're not in that period. When you're within a month of the election, they're not even going to try to pretend they're doing journalism anymore.
It's over. That period in your life is over.
This is not where we are anymore.
They are now going to say anything they can. At every single turn.
To the extent, all they're talking about today, in the Brett interview is that he was mean.
Right?
You got nothing out of that?
The first adversarial interview for -- and I don't even want -- I don't think adversarial is even fair.
GLENN: No.
STU: This show, would be adversarial. Her coming on this show.
Her going on that show, is the normal thing candidates do with -- with journalists.
J.D. Vance has done 60 interviews like that.
Donald Trump has probably done 15 or 20.
Kamala Harris has done one.
And the only thing you can come up with is he was mansplaining.
That's it!
Any possibility of actual coverage is over in this period.
GLENN: The mainstream media is not mainstream media anymore.
It's government propaganda.
It is an arm of the democratic party, that is doing propaganda.
That's all it is.
Next Tuesday, is that the 22nd?
Next Tuesday, my book, propaganda wars, comes out.
It shows you how to look beyond that. To be able to judge, which story is true?
How do I know a story is true? What do I -- how -- how do I decipher through all this bullcrap and what's coming next.
It's Propaganda Wars. It really is an important tool.
You can get it now. Wherever you buy your books.
You can order it. It comes out next Tuesday.
I've done the -- the book -- audiobook. And so you can get that as well.
But I would get this in paper.
Any book that you ever think is important, you should buy in paper.
You can buy it digitally. But I do two things.
I usually listen to the audiobook. And if it's worth keeping, I buy it again in paper.
Because, you know, things can change overnight.
