Why THIS Miller Lite commercial makes Glenn ‘SICK AND TIRED’

After the HUGE Bud Light controversy concerning Dylan Mulvaney, you’d think every other beer company in America would do EVERYTHING possible to avoid a similar catastrophe. Yet, a months-old ad from Miller Lite has now gone viral too. And this particular commercial makes Glenn ‘SICK AND TIRED!’ Why? Because it goes against nature, of course. He explains the ‘scientific, biological’ truth in this clip…

GLENN: Miller Lite, you would think has -- has been awake, or let me say it.

Have not been in a coma, for the last month or so.

STU: I would think. I don't know how much of their product they've consumed. Likely, they have been sober at times.

GLENN: I think it would take a medical coma, to not know what happened to Bud Light.

STU: It's been an incredible gift to them.

GLENN: Yes. Theirs skyrockets. And Bud loses its number one status.

Big news. If you're in the beer industry.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Well, they have put together a new -- a new ad.

And can -- can we -- can we play the ad please?

VOICE: Here's a little known fact: Women were among the very first to brew beer ever, from Mesopotamia, to the Middle Ages, to colonial America, women were the ones doing the brewing. Centuries later, how did the industry pay homage to the founding mothers of beer? They put us in bikinis. Wow.

GLENN: Yes. Wait. Just a bikini lady.

VOICE: Look at it. It's wild! It's time beer made it up to women.

So today, Miller Lite is on a mission to clean up, not just their (bleep), the whole beer industry's (bleep).

Miller Lite has been scouring internet for all this (bleep) and buying it back so that we can turn it into good (bleep) for women brewers! Literally --

GLENN: Wait. Okay. Stop.

STU: So stupid. It's so stupid. I can't.

GLENN: I can't -- I can't take it.

First of all, that was a very nice poster that she took down and shredded. And I don't appreciate that.

STU: Yeah, and just to give you some science behind it. There's absolutely no way you're getting more benefit out of shredding a document than I guess turning it into some sort of fertilizer for beer, than the electricity used to just shred the document. There's no way that's a worthwhile transaction.

GLENN: I was just going to say that. No, it's good for everything.

STU: No. No.

GLENN: I would also like to point out.

Now, this came out before Bud Light. And then it kind of went away.

And here's my thing. What were you doing for the last month, if not trying to make sure that never saw the light of day again?

STU: Right. They've been deleted off -- it should have been deleted off the YouTube page. Right.

GLENN: Oh, if I'm Miller. I go and see if we can buy an EMP to shut down and erase and fry all the chips.

So, you know, they say the internet is forever.

Hmm. Not with an EMP.

STU: You want to be like a future draftee of the NFL deleting your old tweets.

That's what you want to be. Hiding your history, because you're right.

This has been a huge boon to Miller Lite and Coors Light, and all these other brands that are not Bud Light. As they cut their sales by 25 percent. The current number is. It was as high as 25.

So they come out with this. Which is just again, it goes on to tell you, they will take the -- they literally claim. I can't imagine this is true.

But they claim, at Miller Lite. They're going on I guess e Bay.

And buying up old cardboard cutouts of bikini models for beer ads. And then having them sent to them.

Which, again, all of the emissions and all the other stuff associated with this, is just a side hustle here.

But it goes all the way to them. Then they're taking it, and they're composting it. Shredding it and composting it. And then using it -- transporting it to somewhere else again. Where they will make beer that will be transported somewhere else.

GLENN: Oh. There's nothing better than cardboard beer. I will tell you that right now. If you can take that and mix it with some crap, and you just let it steam in a pile for a while.

STU: That's the original formula for Miller Lite.

GLENN: And you mix it into -- may I just say. So what you're saying is that men said horrible things and took horrible pictures of women to sell beer.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: So you're now making that up, by saying horrible things about men to sell women beer?

STU: Uh-huh. And also, I will say, horrible things about women. You're saying horrible things about women too.

Because what you're doing is denying their agency to live their lives.

You see, men didn't put women in bikinis. What happened is individual women sent in their head shots and body shots to try out to attempt to get the jobs, this woman in a sweater is now criticizing. By the way, I don't know if you've noticed this, Glenn.

They treat these women as so much -- they take in their agency, so much, in this ad. They have actually blurred out their faces in the ad.

I don't know if you noticed that. The bikini picture, because you weren't looking at her face in the bikini picture.

GLENN: Kudos. Did you find that out through Lisa?

STU: No, I had to watch it like 46 times. And eventually, oh, my God. Their faces were gone!

But these are individual women, who made individual decisions based on what they wanted to do.

Now, we can be critical of that as a career goal. But if you're in a model, getting into a national ad campaign, probably a big deal. Probably something you're proud of.

But this woman in a sweater, says, you shouldn't be proud of it.

In fact, it wasn't even you doing it. Men put you in the bikinis.

GLENN: Well, I have to tell you, I like the fact that she looks like mom.

Because I've wanted my mother to make all of the choices in my life.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And that could just keep going on. You know, I just -- I think every guy loves that. I think every woman loves that. When mom comes in and tells them exactly what to do.

But I have a bigger problem with this. And we'll get to that in 60 seconds.

GLENN: So let me ask you something. Do men actually exist anymore? I mean, have we phased them out entirely?

STU: We phased out women entirely. You think we've phased out men entirely?

GLENN: Well, I think so.

If you're not crying and you're not thinking, maybe I too can get pregnant. I don't think you exit in today's world. Okay?

If you are a woman, who is a strong woman, but is a woman who is like, I don't want your corporate job. I don't want this. Or that. I'm not going and playing by those rules.

You're not really a woman either. Now, here's the good news.

If those men and those women, that don't play by those rules, get together. They'll have children, the other ones won't.

And we win. But -- but why wait that long? Why wait that long?

I am so sick and tired of having to deny the natural state of things.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: The natural state of things is men, like women.

Women like men noticing them. Not being creepy about it, but noticing them.

STU: That's part of the human attraction situation, that set up all of procreation and civilization, sure.

GLENN: Now, there's a reason sex feels good. Because that's God saying, right? You like that, you should do that more.

STU: Do this, dummy.

GLENN: Because you're trying to have children. Okay.

STU: This is science, by the way.

GLENN: Totally science. This is a science driven show.

Now, I gave up on Sports Illustrated, the swimsuit edition, a long time ago.

And it was the only edition of Sports Illustrated, I was ever interested in. Okay?

But I gave up on it, when they started putting fat people on the cover. Now, nothing against fat people. We're part of the fat community.

GLENN: No, I'm the king of the fat people. But I'm the kind of fat people that I don't think exist anymore.

The kind of fat people that you're kind of embarrassed that you're fat. I mean, it's not enough to get you to stop eating.

STU: No. Of course not.

GLENN: Right. But you're not happy when it's beach time.

You know, you're like, I'm not going to the beach. Nobody wants to see me in a swimsuit. And good heavens, man, I can see my reflection in the ocean, I'm not going.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: Okay? I'm that kind of fat person.

But we've graduated now to a more enlightened fat person like Lizzo.

Or -- right? Lizzo is the fat -- very good flautist, I might say.

STU: She's quite a good flautist. She is quite the flautist.

GLENN: But she is a fat flautist.

STU: A flautist.

GLENN: And I don't want to see her in all of her fatness.

STU: Even if she's flouting?

GLENN: I don't -- well, if she has clothes on, yes.

STU: You want to see her flouting in clothes?

GLENN: Well, no. I don't want to see it. But I'll look at it. Okay? I'll look at it.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: I don't know what happened to the people who are like, I'm not in a bikini. I -- I look good in a bikini. I should wear a bikini.

Because I don't see those people anymore. I just see people like men, wearing a bikini. And they shouldn't be in a bikini. Because they're men. Let alone, fat men.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I would like to break this down here, with Miller Lite. As this is unnatural.

Everything that is happening goes against nature. Just want to throw that in. Just, you know -- just some scientific biological truth. Just mic drop there. I'm just saying.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Epstein's "Blackmail Videos" Being Used for Leverage RIGHT NOW?

What was Jeffrey Epstein's operation all about. If he was at the center of a massive blackmail operation to compromise those in positions of power, who is in possession of that information now? Glenn Beck and ATF Whistleblower John Dodson analyze the details of this situation and give their thoughts on what is the most likely reality surrounding Epstein.

WARNING: How America Elects a Socialist President in 2028 | Glenn TV | Ep 444

The rise of Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old socialist who just won the Democratic primary for mayor, is not just a political earthquake shaking New York City — it’s a warning for the rest of America. Backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Democratic Socialists of America, Mamdani promises free everything, to tax the rich, and to dismantle capitalism. There’s nothing new about this tired strategy, but the media is propping him up as a new political genius. And with Democrat leaders lining up behind him, it’s clear: This radicalism isn’t fringe anymore. It’s the Democratic Party’s future. Mamdani’s rise is part of a larger movement that’s rewriting America’s values. Glenn Beck explains how New York is the prototype for the Left’s socialist makeover of America. Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Standford, gives a terrifying prediction on Mamdani’s mayoral race chances and warns the revolution is coming for mainstream Democrats. He also dives into MAGA’s frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files.

INSIDE Trump’s soul: How a bullet changed his heart forever

“I have a new purpose,” then-candidate Donald Trump told reporter Salena Zito after surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Salena joins Glenn Beck to reveal what Trump told her about God, his purpose in life, and why he really said, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”, as she details in her new book, “Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America's Heartland”.

GLENN: Salena, congratulations on your book. It is so good.

Just started reading it. Or listening to it, last night.

And I wish you would have -- I wish you would have read it. But, you know, the lady you have reading it is really good.

I just enjoy the way you tell stories.

The writing of this is the best explanation on who Trump supporters are. That I think I've ever read, from anybody.

It's really good.

And the description of your experience there at the edge of the stage with Donald Trump is pretty remarkable as well. Welcome to the program.

SALENA: Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I was thinking about this, as I was ready to come on. You and I have been along for this ride forever. For what?

Since 2006? 2005?

Like 20 years, right?

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

SALENA: And I've been chronicling the American people for probably ten more years, before that. And it's really remarkable to me, as watching how this coalition has grown. Right?

And watching how people have the -- have become more aspirational.

And that's -- and that is what the conservative populist coalition is, right?

It is the aspirations of many, but the celebration of the individual.

And chronicling them, yeah. Has been -- has been, a great honor.

GLENN: You know, I was thinking about this yesterday, when -- when Elon Musk said he was starting another party.

And somebody asked me, well, isn't he doing what the Tea Party tried to do?

No. The Tea Party was not going to start a new party.

It was to -- you know, it was to coerce and convince the Republican Party to do the right thing. And it worked in many ways. It didn't accomplish what we hoped.

But it did accomplish a lot of things.

Donald Trump is a result of the Tea Party.

I truly believe that. And a lot of the people that were -- right?

Were with Donald Trump, are the people that were with the Tea Party.

SALENA: That's absolutely right.

So that was the inception.

So American politics has always had movements, that have been just outside of a party. Or within a party.

That galvanize and broaden the coalition. Right? They don't take away. Or walk away, and become another party.

If anything, if there is a third party out there, it's almost a Republican Party.

Because it has changed in so many viable and meaningful ways. And the Tea Party didn't go away. It strengthened and broadened the Republican Party. Because these weren't just Republicans that became part of this party.

It was independents. It was Democrats.

And just unhappy with the establishment Republicans. And unhappy with Democrats.

And that -- that movement is what we -- what I see today.

What I see every day. What I saw that day, in butler, when I showed I happen at that rally.

As I do, so many rallies, you know, throughout my career. And that one was riveting and changed everything.

GLENN: You made a great case in the opening chapter. You talk about how things were going for Donald Trump.

And how this moment really did change everything for Donald Trump.

Changed the trajectory, changed the mood.

I mean, Elon Musk was not on the Trump train, until this.

SALENA: Yeah.

GLENN: Moment. What do I -- what changed? How -- how did that work?

And -- and I contend, that we would have much more profound change, had the media actually done their job and reported this the way it really was. Pragmatism

SALENA: You know, and people will find this in the book. I'm laying on the ground with an agent on top of me.

I'm 4 feet away from the president.

And there's -- there's notices coming up on my phone. Saying, he was hit by broken glass.

And to this take, that remains part of this sibling culture, in American politics.

Because reporters were -- were so anxious to -- to right what they believed happened.

As opposed to what happened.

And it's been a continual frustration of mine, as a reporter, who is on the ground, all the time.

And I'll tell you, what changed in that moment.

And I say a nuance, and I believe nuance is dead in American journalism.

But it was a nuance and it was a powerful conversation, that I had with President Trump, the next day. He called me the next morning.

But it's a powerful conversation I had with him, just two weeks ago.

When he made this decision to say, fight, fight, fight.

People have put in their heads, why they think he said it. But he told me why he said that. And he said, Salena, in that moment, I was not Donald Trump the man. I was a former president. I was quite possibly going to be president again.

And I had an obligation to the country, and to the office that I have served in, to project strength. To project resolve.

To project that we will not be defeated.

And it's sort of like a symbolic eagle, that is always -- you know, that symbol that we look at, when we think about our country.

He said, that's why I said that. I didn't want the people behind me panicking. I didn't want the people watching, panicking.

I had to show strength. And it's that nuance -- that I think people really picked up on.

And galvanized people.

GLENN: So he told me, when he was laying down on the stage.

And you can hear him. Let me get up. Let me get up.

I've got to get up.

He told me, as I was laying on the stage. I asked him, what were you thinking? What was going through your head? Now, Salena, I don't know about you.

But with me. It would be like, how do I get off the stage? My first was survival.

He said, what was going on through his mind was, you're not pathetic. This is pathetic.

You're not afraid. Get up.

Get up.

And so is that what informed his fight, fight, fight, of that by the time that he's standing up, he's thinking, I'm a symbol? Or do you think he was thinking, I'm a symbol, this looks pathetic. It makes you look weak.

Stand up. How do you think that actually happened?

SALENA: He thinks, and we just talked about this weeks ago. He -- you know, and this is something that he's really thought about.

Right? You know, he's gone over and over and over. And also, purpose and God. Right? These are things that have lingered with him.

You know, he -- he thought, yes.

He did think, it was pathetic that he was on the ground. But he wasn't thinking about, I'm Donald Trump. It's pathetic.

He's thinking, my country is symbolically on the ground. I need to get up, and I need to show that my country is strong.

That our country is resolute.

And I need people to see that.

We can't go on looking like pathetic.

Right?

And I think that then goes to that image of Biden.

GLENN: You have been with so many presidents.

How many presidents do you think that you've personally been with, would have thought that and reacted that way?

SALENA: Probably only Reagan. Reagan would have. Reagan probably would have thought that.

And if you remember how he was out like standing outside.

You know, waving out the window. Right?

After he was shot.

GLENN: At the hospital, right.

SALENA: Had he not been knocked out, unconscious, you know, he probably would have done the same thing.

Because he was someone who deeply believed in American exceptionalism.

And American exceptionalism does not go lay on the ground.

GLENN: And the symbol.

Right. The symbol of the presidency.

SALENA: Yeah. Absolutely. And I think that affects him today.

GLENN: So let me go back to God.

Because you talked to him the next day. And your book Butler.

He calls you up.

I love the fact that your parents would be ashamed of you. On what you said to him.

The language you used. That you just have to read the book.

It's just a great part.

But he calls you the next morning. And wants to know if you're okay.

And you -- you then start talking to him, about God.

And I was -- I was thinking about this, as I was listening to it. You know, Lincoln said, I wasn't -- I wasn't a Christian.

Even though, he was.

I wasn't a Christian, when I was elected. I wasn't a Christian when my son died.

I became a Christian at Gettysburg.

Is -- is -- I mean, I believe Donald Trump always believes in God, et cetera, et cetera.

Do you think there was a real profound change at Butler with him?

SALENA: Absolutely. You know, he called me seven times that day. Seven times, the take after seven.

GLENN: Crazy.

SALENA: Talked about. And I think he was looking for someone that he knew, that was there. And to try to sort it out.

Right? And I let him do most of the talking. I didn't pressure him.

At all. I believed that he was having -- you know, he was struggling. And he needed to just talk. And I believed my purpose was to listen.

Right? I know other reporters would have handled it differently. And that's okay. That's not the kind of reporter that I am.

And I myself was having my own like, why didn't I die?

Right?

Because it went right over my head.

And -- and so I -- he had the conversation about God.

He's funny. I thought it was the biggest mosquito in the world that hit me.

But he had talked profoundly about purpose. You know, and God.

And how God was in that moment.

It --

GLENN: I love the way you -- in the book, I love the way you said that as he's kind of working it out in his own he head.

He was like, you know, I -- I -- I always knew that there was some sort of, you know -- that God was present.

He said, but now that this has happened.

I look back at all of the trials.

All of the tribulations. Literally, the trials.

All of the things that have happened. And he's like, I realized God was there the whole time.

SALENA: Yes. He does. And it's fascinating to have been that witness to history, to have those conversations with him. Because I'm telling you. And y'all know, I can talk. I didn't say much of anything.

I just -- I just listened. I felt that was my purpose, in that moment.

To give him that space, to work it out.

I'm someone that is, you know, believes in God.

I'm Catholic. I followed my faith.

And -- and so, I thought, well, this is why God put me here. Right?

And to -- to have that -- to hear him talk about purpose, to hear him say, Salena. Why did I put a chart down?

I'm like, sir. I don't know. I thought you were Ross Perot for a second.

He never has a chart. And he laughed. And then he said, why did I put that chart down?

By that term, I never turned my head away from people at the rally. That's true.

That relationship is very transactional. It's very -- they feed off of each other.

It's a very emotive moment when you attend a rally. Because he has a way of talking at a rally. That you believe that you are seeing.

And he said, and I never turn my head away.

I never turn my head away.

Why did I turn my head away?

I don't remember consciously thinking about turning my head away. And then he says to me, that was God, wasn't it?

Yes, sir. It was. It was God.

And he said, that's -- that's why I have a new purpose.

And so, Glenn. I think it's important, when you look at the breadth of what has happened, since he was sworn in.

You see that purpose, every day.

He doesn't let up.

He continues going.

And it brings back to the beginning of the book.

Where you find out, that there was another president that was shot at in Butler.

And that was George Washington. And how different the country would have been, had he died in that moment.

And now think about how different the country would be, had President Trump died in that moment. There would be --

GLENN: We're talking to -- we're talking to Salena Zito. About her new book called Butler. The assassination attempt on President Trump. And it is riveting.

And, you know, it is so good. I wish the press would read it. Because it really explains who we are, who Trump supporters are. Who are, you know, red staters. It is so good at that. She's the best at that.
