Trump’s response to Biden’s "GARBAGE" comment was EVERYTHING we wanted

Donald Trump has been giving us the campaign we’ve all been wanting, Glenn says. Instead of “vindicative,” it’s been fun and full of REAL joy, unlike the Kamala Harris campaign. Glenn reviews the latest example: Trump responded to Biden calling his supporters “garbage” by donning a bright orange vest and taking a ride in a garbage truck.

STU: Glenn, how are you? Nice outfit.

GLENN: Well, where is your costume?

STU: I'm going as you today. I'm sitting in your chair.

GLENN: Yeah. Don't get used to that, pal.

STU: No problem. That is not something you have to worry about.

GLENN: I'm going as --

STU: Your bag that you're wearing.

GLENN: I'm going as a Trump supporter today.

It's the greatest costume at the last minute. You know, you put a belt around it, and it's very stylish. It is a little hot to wear a garbage liner. It's a little hot.

STU: That's interesting.

GLENN: Yeah. They don't really breathe. They don't really breathe.

So, yeah. Yeah.

So, anyway, I was looking at what happened yesterday, with Trump pulling in, on the garbage truck.

Wearing the -- you know, the orange vest.

Which I've never seen him out of the blue suit.

I thought that thing was sewn on to his body, you know.

He comes out with the orange vest, right off Trump force one. And did you see his rally last night by any chance?

STU: I saw a chunk of it. I didn't see all of it.

I did see him in the vest. I saw him driving around in the garbage truck, with Trump on the side.

Smart -- I will say, the campaign for Trump in 2016 and 2020. I wasn't really impressed with. This one, I think was pretty good.

GLENN: I don't think we'll ever see a campaign like this again. I mean, think of the images we have. Donald Trump working at a McDonald's, and it worked. I mean, it actually wasn't a Michael Dukakis moment. Anybody else trying to do that, it would destroy them.

This worked for him. Then coming off the plane in a construction outfit, driving a -- a garbage truck, that wouldn't work for anybody else.

But it worked for him.

And then you have the image of him holding his fist up, after an assassination.

You're never going to have another campaign like this, ever. Ever.

STU: Yeah. And I keep thinking to myself, you know, these have worked. It looked pretty good.

I wouldn't keep pushing my lucky with them.

I feel like, one of them will eventually feel like Michael Dukakis. But, honestly, he's been able to pull off a couple of them.

GLENN: Yeah, every single one. Did you see Ramaswamy in the garbage truck?

He was picking up garbage, and he looked like a typical politician doing it.

Which, he's really not the typical politician.

He said, okay. I grabbed this can. And I put it in the back.

No offense to Vivek. I love him.

It didn't work!

With Trump, I don't know how these things are working. But they are.

And then he got on stage, and he was making fun of himself, you know, and he was dancing.

He's gotten better at dancing.

I mean, this honestly is the campaign.

I mean, yeah.

It's not -- he's not like, you know, me. On the dance -- thank God, he's not.

On the dance floor.

You know, but he's just -- he's hit exactly the right tone.

And they're hitting all the wrong tone. I mean, you know, they started out with, it's got to be a positive campaign. And look where they are. You know, calling Americans garbage. By the way, cut five. Here's what Trump said about that last night.

DONALD: 250 million Americans are not garbage.
(applauding)
This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said, what he and Kamala really think of our supporters. He called them garbage.

No way. No way.

And I actually mean it, even though without question. My supporters are far higher quality than crooked Joe or lying Kamala.
(applauding)

GLENN: You know, it's --

DONALD: Our response to Joe and Kamala is very simple. You can't lead America if you don't love Americans. That's true.

GLENN: Amen. Amen. Amen.

And it's clear, isn't it? Isn't it becoming very, very clear, they don't like Americans?

I mean, look at everybody around them.

That they're not people that you would want to hang out with. Are they? Pragmatism there anyone on the Kamala side, on that time, that you're like, you know, they just seem like fun. You know. They just seem like fun.

Where on the other side, you have people who disagree with each other. You have -- you have Tulsi, on Trump's side.

You have RFK Jr. You have Elon Musk. I mean, it is kind of the cool kids club. And they're all fun. They're all having fun. Well, I mean, RFK is not exactly fun.

It hurts.

Every time he speaks, I grab my throat, it hurts.

STU: What are you talking about?

He's the most fun. The guy is putting whales in his car. He's just picking up bears on the side of the road, and strapping them to his steering wheel for some reason. He's got all the good stories.

GLENN: You know, just a normal day in America, when the headlines read, Biden bites babies at White House event. I mean, nothing to see here, right? Just a normal -- another day in America.

Okay. There -- there is also from Fox news, an exclusive report, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accused the White House of releasing a false transcript of President Biden's remarks in which he referred to people as garbage.

Now, this is crazy!

We -- we saw the video!

And they release a transcript, that is not what he said. And then -- and then they tried to defend it, saying, well, no. He was just talking about the one comedian.

No!

No! He wasn't. He wasn't.

Go ahead. Here it is.

BIDEN: From Puerto Rico, where I am from. From my home state of Delaware. They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there, is his supporters. It's unconscionable.

STU: Yeah. But where is the possessive apostrophe in that? That is the debate.

I mean, they really are trying to say, that he was saying the garbage is held by only one supporter.

That was like their real argument on this, which is nonsense. Just say the guy is incoherent. And shouldn't be president of the United States. It would solve all your problems on this. You can't say this.

GLENN: You can't say that.

Because there's a deal. Shut up, Joe. Just shut up. Let's get through this. And maybe we'll help you build this library.

You notice? He can't raise the money for a presidential library.

Hmm. Yeah. You're the best president ever.

Did Biden call Trump supporters “GARBAGE” to SABOTAGE Kamala?

President Biden recently called Trump supporters “garbage”, although his handlers insist that he meant to say the MAGA agenda is “garbage.” But did Biden have an ulterior motive? Was this meant to sabotage Kamala Harris’ campaign as revenge for his ousting? Or did Biden just fumble his response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico? Glenn and Stu discuss. Plus, they review the latest election stats: Will the 2024 election be a landslide or a close race? And will Democrats believe it if Trump wins?

GLENN: All right. So President Biden last night, I mean, I just -- I love the Kamala Harris speech. We will go into that, a little bit later on in the program.

The Kamala Harris speech is all, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.

He's a Nazi.

We should unite and put our divisions behind us.

By the way, he's a Nazi, he's a Nazi. He's a Nazi.

At the same time she's doing that, President Biden says this. Cut four.

BIDEN: From Puerto Rico where I'm -- in the state of Delaware, there are good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there, is his supporters. His -- his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.

GLENN: So that is a good, happy message for six days before the election.

STU: I've heard that a bunch of times since he said it. I hadn't paid attention to this next sentence. So he says, the -- every Trump supporter is garbage, but I can't believe their demonization.

He's just, I mean, look, he's -- I don't know. Is it -- that he's just so far down the dementia road, that he doesn't even know what he's saying at this point? But whatever.

GLENN: There's a chance he's trying to sabotage.

STU: There is something. It's not 0 percent chance he's trying to sabotage her campaign. Because this totally destroyed her day. Her big day in the sun. Celebrating the January 6th anniversary. The site of the January 6th speech.

GLENN: I know that's what everybody is talking about. At the grocery store. They're not talking about the prices of groceries and gas and everything -- they're just talking about what happened on the ellipse, on January 6th.

STU: That's the big thing people are discussing. And it's laughable. Whatever she tried to accomplish today. Whether it was intentional or not, it was a blessed event. I love Joe Biden today. I never felt better about the guy.

GLENN: Try cut five, please. Here's Trump.

DONALD: That's what it says. That's what it says.

So you have -- remember Hillary?

She said deplorable?

And then she said irredeemable. But she said deplorable, and that didn't work out.

Garbage, I think is worse. But he didn't know. Please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he knoweth not what he said.
(laughter)

GLENN: Tell me Trump hasn't been around the Bible lately, and people who believe in the Bible.

By the way, CNN said, it is just -- that happened because of his stutter.

Well, was he going to say garbage.

STU: Great garbage!

GLENN: So stupid.

This thing is going to come down to the wire. Now, I hope, that it is a landslide.

And there are some things out there, that make it look like it could be a landslide. At least in some states. But do you have any doubt, Stu. That in the swing states, this is going to come down to the wire?

STU: Yeah.

It might not feel like that afterward.

I think the -- there's a good chance that one of these candidates wins all seven of them.

I was looking at -- I can't remember whose model it was. It might have been Nate Silvers, who said the most likely outcome in his model, when it comes to the swing states, is someone wins all seven them. The number one outcome is Donald Trump winning all seven of the swing states. The number two most likely outcome is Kamala Harris winning all seven swing states.

GLENN: Well, of course. That's like the number three model is Daffy Duck winning all three. I mean --

STU: No. No, no. You don't have to win all seven. You can win four and lose three. The point is, it looks like, the way these things usually run. They're correlated. Right?

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: So you usually don't -- you can't just flip a coin on all the swing states. And say, well, this is what is going to happen. Usually, if one person wins, there's more likely a chance they will win the next state and the next state.

So at the end of the day, that won't feel like a close election. I think people will be like, oh, gosh. Trump won 310 electoral votes, that doesn't mean it's not a close election. But that doesn't mean it isn't a close election.

GLENN: Yeah. It will be a close election state by state.

Yeah, Biden won 306 last time. That felt like the closest election possible, right? He still won 306. It was 306 to 232 in the electoral account.

GLENN: They will be counting for weeks. Weeks. Unless it's an absolute blowout. Weeks.

STU: Be honest. There's a path of Kamala Harris winning this election. We find out pretty much on election night.

Because the first two states that will know, that really matter will be Georgia and North Carolina.

And if Kamala Harris wins those. If she wins those by three or four points. I don't want to say what the outcome of the election is.

Most likely that means that Trump has lost it. It's not impossible for him to win till.

If he loses Georgia and North Carolina. He's probably in really big trouble.

So we -- that's probably the most likely -- everyone is like, I want to know on election night. Do you?

Because the most likely we know on election night, is Kamala Harris does really well in Georgia and North Carolina.

GLENN: I don't know. I'm not sure that's true.

STU: As far as early -- early on that night, I would say yes.

If Kamala Harris wins Georgia and North Carolina, to me, you're at a 95 percent chance she's winning this election.

But if Trump -- if it's close, and then Trump winds up winning, or whatever. He can still go up to the blue wall, and pick out a few states.

GLENN: They will absolutely declare a win on that night. Both candidates will declare a win on that night.

This will be -- I lay it out in tonight's show, and it is fascinating to see what the Democrats have planned.

Because they have planned for all of this stuff. There's a five-step plan, after the vote!

Five steps that they are going to do to make sure that Donald Trump doesn't get into office. And it's all laid out. It's amazing!

This is -- according to Mark Alias, this is going to be the most litigated election in all of human history!

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: That sounds like fun, huh? That sounds like real fun. We'll give you that tonight on my Wednesday night special that you don't want to miss.

By the way, everything that is going on now, with -- with Media Matters and the New York Times, they are setting up, the silencing of voices.

Across the spectrum of conservatives!

Our voices will be lost. And they could be lost, you know, during any kind of recount. Or any kind of -- they will start suppressing us hard. They already are!

I mean, our algorithms are so skewed against you finding our voice, it's unbelievable.

However, when this thing takes off. If there's any kind of anybody, saying that the election was tinkered with at all, unless it's the left saying it, if it's us saying that, that this election was stolen.

This election -- we have to look into this. We will be silenced. If the left is saying that, they will be amplified.

And the defense will be silenced.

That's what's happening.

That's what they have in play, right now.

You have to be the person, that can look at the news, and say, no. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Don't believe that.

Believe this. And that's what Propaganda Wars, my new book is all about.

You have a chance of losing us. You have a very good chance of losing contact with us, in the next couple of months, unless you are really going right directly to our source.

But you won't find us in your news feed. I'm convinced of it. I hope I'm wrong. But I'm convinced that the algorithms, if there's any question on this. The algorithms will silence us.

And I mean, everybody in the conservative world.

They will suppress our voices.

STU: Do you think there's any chance that there are aren't massive claims of fraud after this election?

GLENN: Landslide is the only way.

STU: Landslide one side or the other?

GLENN: Yeah.

Landslide on the other side, I don't think our side will believe.

STU: And I think the same thing applies with them. Don't you think?

I think they will -- you think they will believe it if Trump blows her out.

GLENN: What have Republicans done to cheat in this? We know --

STU: What factor is that?

You're talking about having evidence of further claims?

What does that have to do with anything?

GLENN: You're right. You're right.

STU: They will say it. If Trump wins a close election, they will say this election is stolen.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: Every election that I've experienced in my adult life, that they've lost, they've said that.

I'm trying to think of, is there an exception to that? Trump 2016, they lost. They said the election was stolen.

2012, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2008, they won. They didn't have to say it. 2004, they said it. 2000, they said it.

GLENN: Yeah. John Kerry. Al Gore.

STU: 1996, they didn't -- they won, so they didn't need it. 1992, they won, they didn't need it. 1988, I was 12. So every single election --

GLENN: Of your lifetime.

STU: -- of my lifetime as an adult, they have said that the election was stolen.

GLENN: And every -- every Republican, in my lifetime, because in '67, '68, I was three.

So every -- every Republican in my lifetime has been called a fascist or a Nazi. Every single time.

STU: Gosh. And how can they have any currency anymore?

GLENN: I know. I know.

STU: It's amazing, they're still doing this same playbook.

GLENN: Still doing it. Still doing it.

Things are changing though.

Things are dramatically changing.

Will the Left REGRET turning Tony Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico joke into a controversy?

The mainstream media melted down after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe of “Kill Tony” told a joke about Puerto Rico. The media used it as evidence that Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was about “hate” and akin to the 1939 Nazi rally at the same venue. But was this joke actually racist? Or was Hinchcliffe just doing his job as a roast comedian? Glenn and Stu review the joke, which even left-leaning comedian Jon Stewart admitted was funny, and make the case that it’s the Left that should be worried: “Whenever they try to take away your fun, [they] lose.”

GLENN: So Tony Hinchcliffe. He is -- I'm sorry -- he's the guy that was on the Tom Brady special, right? The roast.

STU: Oh, my gosh. Yes.

And he was really -- really --

STU: Very funny.

GLENN: Almost mean. But very funny.

STU: But that's his job. Right? He strikes me as Jeff Ross. Who was also there, by the way. He says really uncomfortable things. Mean things. It's his shtick.

GLENN: If you are roasting, that's what you do.

STU: That's what you're supposed to do.

GLENN: People were like, oh, he was mean. That's what a roast is. You tear everything apart.

STU: Yeah. And some people watch that sort of world really quickly.

They know which comedians are coming up in that world.

I don't watch that very closely.

Oh, my gosh. This guy is amazing.

He has a huge following.

It was really uncomfortable.

Really mean. Really funny.

Like, that is his job.

GLENN: What is our -- what is our first rule.

STU: You don't cut funny.

GLENN: You don't cut funny.

If it's funny, it's funny. You leave it alone.

You don't cut funny.

STU: There at least used to be a situation. Where there might be an outrage on some of these things.

The comedian would rally to another comedian.

GLENN: Not this guy.

I would think somebody who is rallying actually to his defense is Jon Stewart.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Now, obviously in retrospect. Having a roast comedian.

GLENN: Wait. Wait.

Let's play what he said, first.

VOICE: It is absolutely wild times. It really, really is.

And, you know, there's a lot going on.

Like, I don't know if you guys know this.

There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.

Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
(laughter)
Okay. All right.

STU: The crowd reacts. Just like a roast crowd.

GLENN: A real big roast crowd.

STU: But like, everyone knows it's a joke.

Adults are familiar with this form of entertainment.

GLENN: Right.

STU: Right. And, oh, man.

GLENN: Oh, that's bad.

STU: And then you wait for the next one. And then you wait for the next group to get in.

GLENN: That's why he said, okay. All right. You'll get there. You'll get there. He said he's trying -- all right.

I know. But you'll understand this form here soon.

STU: And that moment, by the way, is that moment that roast comedians cherish.

That awkwardness is something you cherish in the moment. That is literally what you're going for.

GLENN: Right.

STU: You want that sound.

GLENN: It's mainstream Andy Kaufman.

You know how Andy Kaufman went and he wanted to make everyone uncomfortable.

This is mainstream. This is a roast.

STU: And it's tough.

I can understand why -- you can theoretically be critical of saying, I don't know if he's the right guy if he's going to do that there.

GLENN: When you have someone who is well-known, has a big following.

And is mainstream enough, like him. Where he was the funniest thing on that Tom Brady special. He was.

STU: Yeah. Yeah. There was a lot that was funny in it.

GLENN: That you would show up. You damn right.

STU: I wouldn't even use the word mainstream.

He's like cool. Very, very rarely do Republicans get people who are actually cool.

That's why Elon Musk is at some level interesting to the Republicans. Because like he's doing this amazing Tony stark character. He's actually on our side for once.

This guy is probably the funniest. Edgiest. Up-and-coming roast comedian there is.

You know, he is -- like stole that show, at times.

And, you know, remember, the Netflix Tom Brady special is one of the most watched things of the entire year.

Right?

This was a massive, massive cultural event.

He was one of the stars of it.

He's coming, and he's doing his shtick to a major audience in a party environment. It's totally, totally what he should do. And it would be expected to do in the moment.

GLENN: So now that's our opinion. Now listen to Jon Stewart.

JON: Now, obviously in retrospect, having a roast comedian, come to a political rally before election day, and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically.

But to be fair, the guy is just really doing what he does.

I mean, here he is, at the Tom Brady roast a few months ago.

VOICE: The great Jeff Ross, ladies and gentlemen. Jeff is so Jewish, he only watches football for the coin toss.

Ron, you look like the Nazi that kept burning himself on the ovens. Kevin is so small, that when his ancestors picked cotton, they called it dead-lifting.
(laughter)

JON: Yes. Yes. Of course. Terrible. Boo. Yes.
(laughter)

JON: There's something wrong with me. I find that guy very funny. I'm sorry.

STU: He is.

JON: I don't know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and not him do roast jokes, that would be like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not having -- oh.
(laughter)

GLENN: Right?

STU: It's very, very funny. And exactly what's supposed to happen. And the fact that the media is -- they're all upset. AOC is like, I can't believe this racism.

Stop! Stop it!

I call her an adult, but she has the mind of a 3-year-old.

GLENN: You know what is amazing here, they have willingly stepped back into the Al and Tipper Gore category.

Where remember, Al and Tipper Gore. They were like, oh, we've got to have labels on rap music.

STU: Right. Right. Yeah.

GLENN: And they were so --

STU: They were mocked for it.

GLENN: They were so Karen-esque.

So Karen-esque.

And nobody wants to be around those people. Nobody wants to be around those people.

And look at what the left is doing.

Every step of the way, they're the ones that wreck the fun.

STU: Yeah. They are -- I mean, this is -- you sound like Bill Maher right now.

Which is shocking.

Because you guys shouldn't sound the same, but it's true.

I mean, when you suck the fun out of life, you don't win. It's not a winning long-term position.

You might win an election here or there. They might win this one. And that's terrifying to think about.

But they might. They might win, despite -- in spite of itself.

GLENN: Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.

STU: But it's true. I always think about this, when you talk about global warming.

If you can present to people, hey, why wouldn't we want clean water and clean air and a good environment?

You will get a lot of people, even some conservatives and moderates. They will say, you know, yeah. We should do those things. Like spending money on the environment is a good idea.

When you start saying, hey. You shouldn't have big-screen TVs.

And your air-conditioning should be set at 78.

GLENN: And no meat. Eat a bug.

STU: And no meat.

You lose. That's why I love when they go with that messaging.

Whenever they do that. And try to take away your fun.

You lose. That's what happens.

And it's like -- it's always why I'm skeptical of efforts to limit technology.

You know, like, when people are like, oh, well. We have to not do whatever.

AI or smartphones. Whatever.

Look, I don't like a lot of that stuff.

And would I think that the world would be a better place if we got rid of a lot of it. Sure.

But at the end of the take, when it's performing tasks in your life that makes your life easier.

It's just going to win.

You're not going to be able to stop it. And when you try to fight against that. People like having fun. People like having fun.

Why do you think the abortion messaging works for the left?

Because they like -- they like that sort of -- like the lifestyle of being able to be a little promiscuous and not be punished for it is something that connects with a lot of freaking people, particularly young women.

It does work with them. It's not necessarily, they're all like, I would like to end a lot of baby's lives.

What they like is going to bars and hooking up. And at the end of the day, not being punished for it. It's why you -- I remember you saying this a long time ago. When you were very young, you were pro-choice.

GLENN: Yeah. Keep your options open.

STU: Keep your options open.

GLENN: Really bad. Really bad.

STU: It's really bad.

And when you think about what it really means. Of course it's terrible.

But when you're given a permission structure, and you're young, and you haven't thought about these things a lot of the way, the permission structure is, this is legal. Is health care?

Well, of course, you can justify that.

If you buy that messaging, you can justify it. And it's why they use it. It's why it's effective, particularly on younger people. So I'm not surprised that that sort of stuff wins. When you're on the other side and you're saying, you know, jokes are bad, and stop being -- noticing.

Stop noticing, that the thing that the left is doing is completely insane. Like just saying girls can be boys, and boys can be girls by a few sentences.

GLENN: Let me play the AOC.

Because look at -- if this was our messaging.

If this is what we were saying in the last week of the election, would you think it was going well?

First, AOC.

VOICE: This was not -- this was a hate rally. This was not just a presidential rally. This was also not just a campaign rally.

I think I say very important for people to understand, that these are mini January 6 rallies.

STU: So bad.

VOICE: These are mini stop the steal rallies. These are rallies to prime an electorate into rejecting the results of an election if it doesn't go the way that they want.

Because Donald Trump, and that entire cadre of people up on that stage. Steven Miller, et cetera. Do not respect the law of the United States of America.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. This -- these words may not age a week.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Because if they lose, if it doesn't go their way.

Producing staff, make sure we have all of these cuts.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: Of saying exactly what Donald Trump is going to do.

All of them.

Make sure you have all of them.

STU: At the front of that rally, will be that woman.

And she will be sitting there. And she will be encouraging her social media audience to bail out the people who burn the cities down.

That is like, it is so predictable. And speaking of AI.

That argument is basically like, craft -- craft a liberal argument, to -- to criticize Trump's rally and tie it to January 6th. Enter.

And she's reading it.

It's pathetic. That is a pathetic. Mini January 6.

So in some ways, it would be adorable, if she was 11.
(laughter)
Right?

GLENN: Well, how about Mika from MSNBC. Here's what she said.

VOICE: I think a lot of people are seeing that rally, at Madison Square Valley. Seeing all those people. It doesn't mean he's going to win the race. But my point is that it's discouraging that so many people would gather and rally, to hate. To hate speech.

STU: That's not what it is.

VOICE: In America. It's discouraging, and it hurts. That people who have family in Puerto Rico. Who are Puerto Rican Americans who are American citizens, are hearing hate like that. It's discouraging.

STU: Can you imagine if this is an actual position? It's not. Imagine if she actually believed this.

VOICE: It's important to look at the situation. And it's not just, oh, my gosh. About the race. It's, oh, my gosh, how did we get here?

How did we get here?

STU: I can't take any more of this.

Are these the people that brought Eminem on stage last week. Eminem.

A person who rapped -- who built his career on domestic violence, rapping about domestic violence, as part of his act, and rapping about beating gay people, as part of his act.

You might find that distasteful. I find it distasteful. That being said, it's his act.

I understand it. I don't think he's -- I mean, he has had some legal problems. But I don't think he's actually bashing gay people.

I don't like his act.

But we all understand, it was his act. And they can bring him up, on that stage.

And I think as adults, we should all be able to look at that and said, look, he's said some things, that the party shouldn't want necessarily representing them. But what are you going to do?

Obviously, he's a rapper. That's his business. The same thing should be said for Kill Tony.

Right? He's up there. He's doing his thing. That is his shtick. Every adult, including even morons like AOC. And the idiots on Joe Scarborough's stupid show.

All know exactly what reality is. And they're pretending that they don't.

GLENN: And here's how you know the Democrats know this. Okay?

Because there are Democrats in swing states that are running commercials right now, with them, and Donald Trump.

With pictures of them, and assigning or something.

Anything.

He voted with Donald Trump.

He's middle of the road.

He doesn't lean all one way or the other.

Look, here's a picture of him and Trump.

They're running these things.

If you actually thought the man was Hitler, you wouldn't run those.

Your party wouldn't pay for that. This is all a sham! They're convincing you he's Hitler.

I think people like Mika is actually convincing herself, he's like Hitler.

GLENN: Well, and which was a fascinating thing. Considering she was partially responsible being the president of the United States.

They fawned over him, for a year. And brought him on.

And told him, the questions in advance, they told him.

They asked him, what they should hit. I mean, they were --

GLENN: Right.

STU: They were best buds.

GLENN: Yeah. Weren't they on the -- weren't they on his house, at one of the debates. Remember that?

STU: They're close friends for a long time.

Banned CNN panelist reveals SHOCKING behind-the-scenes of Mehdi Hasan MELTDOWN

CNN has banned conservative commentator and 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky over a joke that the network has called “racist.” But Ryan joins Glenn to expose CNN’s hypocrisy. Girdusky’s quip to MSNBC host, Palestine supporter, and fellow panelist Mehdi Hasan that “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off” was enough to get him removed. But Hasan was allowed to call Girdusky a Nazi?! Girdusky also notes that the other CNN panelists had no issue with constantly telling jokes about white people or comparing Trump to Joseph Goebbels. But there was one decision that CNN made that convinced Girdusky to just speak his mind, even if it meant getting fired …

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Ryan Girdusky. You might have seen him. He was the guy. What did he do two weeks ago. We were on, going, yeah. Well, I think he's right about that?

STU: The problem -- he's a major problem. Because he keeps winning arguments at CNN.

And he's not supposed to do that.

He's supposed to be the idiot foil for the rest of the panel.

GLENN: Yeah. So now he's been banned on CNN. Because they're just after the truth.

That's all they want.

Ryan joins us in just a second or two.

Ryan Girdusky is on with us.

He's the founder of the 1776 Project PAC and a political consultant. Welcome, Ryan.

How are you?

RYAN: Good. Thanks for having me.

It's been one crazy 12 hours.

GLENN: I'll bet it was. For people who didn't hear it, let me play what happened on CNN.

VOICE: If you don't want to be called Nazis --

VOICE: You're called. Stop calling --

VOICE: Table.

VOICE: People are sitting there.

VOICE: By me -- I didn't call you an anti-Semite.

VOICE: I'm a Palestinian, I'm used to it.

VOICE: Yeah, well, I hope your beeper doesn't go off.

VOICE: You just said he should be killed.

VOICE: On live TV.

VOICE: Guys, let me just stop.

GLENN: So there's this fake outrage, of you said I wanted to be killed.

And Ryan immediately apologized. Okay. Fine. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry. It was wrong. But the other guy doesn't apologize to you for calling you and people like you, a Nazi.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: In my book, that's worse than a Hamas member. I mean, they're in the same category. But what's worse?

RYAN: Well, the funny thing, it sounds much funnier in re-listening it than it was live. Because it was going crazy. Well, also the crazy thing was, he also said -- Trump sounded like Goebbels.

Now, I never met him before. I had heard a lot about him. But he was making accusations, that I was calling him an anti-Semite. That I was doing all these things to him. I had never spoke to him before. I didn't even know who he was.

And going on to that show, I decided like so -- so what happens if you don't do cable news, the producers text you all the topics, a few hours in advance. And they could range from people things you know anything about. Things you don't know anything about.

So I was -- so one of the topics they just changed it.

It was two segments on the Trump rally. Because obviously it's the most important thing in the world. They actually scrubbed the thing like war.

So then, we were going on, to do segment at the end, with Brian Stelter about trust and accuracy in the media.

And I just about lost it. And I was like, here's what I'm going to do. Here's what I said to myself, going to the show.

I was going to tell him, you're fake news.

You owe everyone on CNN an apologize for Russia. For Russia gate. For COVID.

For the Stormy Daniels. This is our last episode. Because they will never have me back. After I do what I do.

This was just a throwaway line. Because what happened, I got on set.

The woman sitting next to me. She was outraged. I was speaking to her.

She was making comments.

Like white man. Whole run into the show.

And looked just like -- it freaking irked me. I would never say opposite racial things like that.

But if I did, I wouldn't even make it to the show open.

But it was just like the double standard.

Then I said on the show, that people in the media -- everybody that attended the Trump rally was a Nazi. Abbey said that wasn't true. Totally true.

Abbey has falsely corrected me on things that I said was true, and she said, it was the Ferguson effect.

Which was very clearly -- even though, she was --

GLENN: That's what it was.

RYAN: So, anyway, I did the thing.

It was a throwaway line. Go to commercial. Then throws his mic on the table. Storms out of the place. I'm not going to be on with him. Abbey is like, can you please step aside?

Because Allison was like, he needs to leave. And I was like, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass. I hope you don't get in trouble from corporate. I told the producer, I hope you don't get in trouble. Because it wasn't very lovely to me. And I'm a professional.

And that was that. I was like, okay. Cool.

And you would have thought, you know, I was responsible of the Hindenburg disaster, the way people are responding to it.

I'm like, calm the freaking hell down. I said to somebody, who by the way, always stands up for terrorists.

You know, or sits there -- and kowtows to terrorists, that -- and terrorist-funded countries, that they are -- that, you know, that it's a joke. Whatever.

Like, grow a pair. Like, I don't know. I'm a man. If you sit there and make a joke at my expense and you apologize, I'm over it in 30 seconds.

I'm not going to go storm off and act like, you know what.

GLENN: Right. So go ahead.

STU: Ryan, people probably don't know a lot about this guy. Mehdi Hasan. You know, is he -- I'm sure you've looked into him, a little bit more since all of this has gone down.

He does seem to be well-known for conveniently taking the side of terrorists over and over and over again. What do we know about what his beliefs are?

RYAN: I don't know him. I genuinely don't watch cable news.

I don't watch MSNBC.

I watched him a lot. I don't watch MSNBC. Unless it's an election where they're losing or all crying on set.
(laughter)

RYAN: So I don't know what he's all about. I genuinely don't -- I Googled him a couple of -- maybe a couple of years ago. He said that nonbelievers are all cattle and animals.

And that gays are pedophiles.

And he apologized. And stuff.

But that's basically all you need to know. Is like where they're coming from.

And I think that he was doing a show with the nation of -- I think it was Qatar.

I don't know.

I don't want to say anything.

He was doing a show with a foreign country, at one point.

He was booted off MSNBC.

Whatever. I don't know.

But literally like, I don't know.

I don't want to sit there and say more.

I can't --

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

It seems like, when you're talking about --

RYAN: It's not great. It's not great.

STU: Right. When you're talking about rhetorical flourish of sorts. You know, you can put your comment and him calling you a Nazi in roughly the same category.

RYAN: Right.

STU: It's an overstatement, sure. You're making a point.

It's a debate. But when someone comes after you, and calls you, the worst -- member of the worst group of people that anyone can ever imagine.

Like it's sort of normal to come back and be a little prickly about the situation.

RYAN: Well, also, the thing is they will never know what it is to be a conservative in the media. They will never. The only Democrat in probably the history of the world, know what it's like to be a Republican is Joe Biden. In the one month that they all sat there and said, you have to get out, and the whole media was against him.

They do not know what it's like to show up at your show, where the hosts are biased. And the guests are biased.

And it's three on one screaming at you constantly. And you're like, hey, I read the statistics somewhere, and it doesn't really matter.

Because what's important is the narrative. That's all they care about. It's the narrative. And the narrative and the narrative.

If you sit there and you shoot against the narrative for so long, it is -- you know, they have to get rid of you.

I don't care. It's not like I was going on CNN anyway.

I do school board elections with the 1776 Project.

That's what I do. This is just like something I did for -- well, three and a quarter episode, if you think about it.

GLENN: You were only on three and a quarter episode?
RYAN: Of Abby's show, and then the other show is on twice.

RYAN: I did maybe five and a quarter shows in like three weeks. All of them went viral.

STU: That's amazing. Yeah. I was going to say, I think every single one of them went viral. I thought you were on all the time, because every single time, I turn on Twitter, you're going viral for this.

RYAN: No. I was on -- I was on the whole network, less than a full six episodes.

And, you know, whatever.

I didn't care. I want to give credit to some person, to the booking person at CNN, who originally talked to me.

They said, they are looking for a Republican. You are a Republican, who will apologize for being a Republican.

It ain't me.

That's not what we're looking for.

You can come on.

I said, okay. Great. I told them flat-out who I was, that's I was very open and honest.

I'm not going to apologize for being a Republican. I'm not going to attack Donald Trump. Not on CNN. My grandmother would kill me.

That is not going to be me. And so like, whatever. That's all fine. And they let me on. So I'm lucky to have the opportunity.

Probably could have handled it differently. But at the end of the day, I'm not a Nazi. And the fact that one guest gets to call another a Nazi. And the other can't flip it in a joke. That was funny, by the way.

STU: Objectively a funny line. It is a little roast comedian. Like we just had this experience with the MSG situation. It's in that category, which they might not like, but objectively a funny line.

GLENN: So can I ask you, when producers called, they said you were a little reluctant to come on the air.

Why?

RYAN: When they called about, what?

GLENN: Coming on the air here.

RYAN: Well, like, listen, I didn't want to -- not that I don't want to amplify the story. I don't think it's a story. In 24 hours, someone will find something else to be outraged with.

I don't -- I went to a party literally like a few days ago. A conservative party, and every four seconds, some stranger I didn't know yelled at me, the Ferguson effect!

And I was like, great. And I'm like, okay, great. Now I will be called beeper for the rest of my life. So I didn't want to talk about this forever.

So I said, okay. I will do a few shows today. And then none after this.

And that will be that. And I was like, listen, I have a moment where I can talk about my PAC. My school board election. And mention it while I'm doing it. And that will be that.

I just don't think anyone really care about it, come in a couple of weeks.

And wait. One other thing, by the way, that other segment that I was on. This is the most insane story in the world.

I was on the segment with the Ferguson effect. The two women next to me. Ashley Allison. I don't remember the other girl's name. We only spoke about five minutes together.

We did a segment. For 25 minutes. Almost a half an hour. The one looked at, the one I don't remember. Her -- she looked at Ashley Allison, right on set, points at me, and says, what's his name?

And she goes, I have no idea. We've been on this show 30 minutes before our names were publicly announced. And didn't sit there and say, oh, hi, nice to meet you. Yada, yada, yada.

Lot of just mean girl nonsense like that. So, anyway, I just wanted to --

GLENN: So the 1776 Project.

Is that the 1776 project that was banned or stopped immediately after Biden got into office?

RYAN: No, no, no. It's a PAC to flip school board elections. We've done almost a thousand school board elections in three years.

We put money directly into school board races. To support conservatives for a myriad of issues. Everything from testing standards to, you know, enforcement of school rules.

To CRT, to the trans issue. There's one school board in Texas. That we literally booked every single seat in.

So we have done this.

We have races coming up in Maryland and Arizona next week.

We have hundreds of thousands of dollars into those races. And we're trying to sit there and to get conservatives elected across the country, to protect kid's public education.

GLENN: How do you feel about the election?

RYAN: You know, I'm nervous. I think Trump is doing well. I wrote something for my Substack, two days ago.

The craziest thing in the world. And this will drive you nuts.

In a 2020, the census admitted that they got the data wrong.

And they gave extra seats, Congressional seats to Rhode Island, Colorado, and Minnesota. Over Texas. Was supposed to get one extra. And Florida was supposed to get two.

If Trump wins the Sunbelt and loses the three Rust Belt states, he will lose the election 270-268. Had they not misallocated those seats, he would have won 270 and 267. So things like that, at this point, playing in my head, driving me crazy.

He will win one Rust Belt state. He just has to win Michigan, Wisconsin or Pensacola. Pennsylvania -- Pensacola.

Now, Pennsylvania. I'm thinking of Florida now.

I think things look good. Republicans are voting like their life depends on it.

Just brace into a little bit more, and we just need to get some independents along the way. And he should win one of those states.

GLENN: Let me ask you: What's your take on the support behind Kamala?

RYAN: I think a lot of it is people who hate Trump. I think a part of it is also the AstroTurf, female empowerment nonsense, that she's just so great.

And I mean, look, she went from being Selena Meyers on beat, to being a girl boss in 24 hours in the media.

Everybody remembers. And this is where they hid her for so long. This is why she's keeping her hidden. She has a billion dollars. It's a lot of money. She has all these unions. A lot of effort. What she doesn't have is a lot of support, but she's harping on this fascism and Naziism thing. Because she's got one group. One group that can put her in the White House. And that is suburban moms and dads. Who are very scared of it. And they don't have to worry about tax cuts. Because they make a lot of money. They don't live in a high crime neighborhood.

Their kids go to good schools. They are insulated in a very comfortable bubble.

A lot of them live in places that look like the 1950s.

It means nothing to them.

But Hispanics. Blacks. Muslims. Jews.

People who have a lot of stake on the line, they're living -- deal with 2020. And act towards.

They're increasingly voting for Trump.

That's why she's harping so heavily. That if you don't do this.

If you don't vote for me. You're a bad person. You're a bad white person.

You're a bad mom. You're a bad suburban person.

You're a bad person. You have to vote for me.

That is her closing methods. I don't know how effective it will. These people all vote. They all vote.

The noncollege educated. White working class. Blue-collar guy out in Pennsylvania

There were 2.66 million of them in 2016, who were not even registered to vote.

A lot have registered since then.

Twenty percent of all early votes Republican, are first-time voters. It's got to stay that way, and it's got to increase.

Yeah, that was the data that was released yesterday.

GLENN: Wow.

Ryan, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Hope we talk again.

1776 Project PAC founder, political consultant, and a guy who should wear this as a badge of honor. Now banned from CNN, for telling the truth and telling a joke.

EXPOSED: How HARMFUL chemicals end up in our food

Why are so many potentially harmful chemicals, including food dyes and ingredients that aren't allowed in Europe, EVERYWHERE in the American diet? From cereal to Doritos, much of the food in our supermarkets contains stuff that is likely causing our epidemic of chronic illnesses. So, why does the FDA allow food manufacturers to include all this? Glenn heads to the chalkboard to expose how the system works ... and it sure looks like bribery.
