Watch out, kids! You’re going to be a slave to debt unless this happens

Over the weekend, Glenn invited some friends over for dinner. (WARNING: Glenn will ALWAYS talk about his private dinners with friends on air). One of the guests is getting read to start college, and of course that triggered a discussion over the true value of a college education. The growing student debt issue is out of control - and no one seems willing to think outside of the box on how to fix it. Glenn shared some simple alternatives on radio this morning, and what could happen if things don’t change soon.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment

GLENN: I tell you, we had Mother's Day at the house on Sunday. And we had the Sheltons over, and their daughter is going to college this year. And, you know, she was looking at colleges. She was accepted to a bunch of colleges they were 50, $60,000 a year. And, you know, they can't afford that. So she is going to a community college for two years. So the conversation started talking about community college. And all the people there that were in their 20s were all saying the same thing. My friends who went to a good four-year college, they're all miserable. They don't have prospects, and they have this huge debt on their hands. Anybody that went to a two-year school, a community college and either ended it there or then transferred to the four-year, they're all, you know, looking at their first house. They're looking at jobs they can -- they're not underwater with debt.

PAT: That makes a lot of sense. Because two of my sons best friends. My son who got back from a church mission. One of his best friends went to Oklahoma for four years. And studied engineering. Wanted to become a petroleum engineer, which he now is. But has no job. The other of his best friends went to trade school for a few years. Met somebody at trade school. And the guy was impressed with him. Had him come out and do an intern with him for a while. He's now making $105,000 a year in central Texas. I think Midland. As a petroleum engineer.

[laughter]

So one of them went to school and accrued, you know, 150, 200,000 dollars' worth of debt. The other is paid up now and is getting paid. I mean, it's kind of amazing when you --

GLENN: I just -- you just don't send them to --

PAT: You really need to figure out what's best for you and not go down that road thinking a four-year school is the best way to go.

GLENN: If you want to be a doctor, four-year school, six-year, eight-year school, that's what you have to do. There's some things that you just don't have to have that for. And everybody goes to these expensive schools, and most kids go to find themselves.

STU: You can do that a lot more inexpensively. Ask Jeffy.

[laughter]

GLENN: Ask any of us. We all did it. We did it on our own dime making money.

STU: Yeah. It's weird because our field is a little bit different than I think some -- and obviously doctor. You need to know how to do your job here. So you go and you learn on the job. And that's the best way to learn this job.

PAT: And how many people have asked us, for years, should I go to broadcast school? The answer to me is always, no. Emphatically no. You want to pay $5,000 a year to go out --

GLENN: Pay me 1,000. I'll teach you more.

STU: Don't. No, you won't. You don't have the time. In theory, you would.

GLENN: Get me a bunch of kids to pay me $1,000. I'll teach them everything I know. I know nothing. Go out there and learn it on your own. Give me the check.

STU: So you're looking for a way to take people's money.

GLENN: No. I give them good advice. Don't listen to anybody like me. Don't spend -- do it your own. Here, give me your thousand dollars. Thank you very much. Here's what you do. There's a lot of people that will take you for a sucker, I just did. Learn from that.

PAT: That's an important life lesson. Yeah.

JEFFY: It does make you wonder why the government wants to get their hooks into the community colleges though by making it free.

STU: Well, it's just step one. Tom Hanks was just talking about this in a video yesterday. He was saying, I really hope this program sticks. This idea sticks. Free community college for two years. First of all, any idea sticks when it's handing free money to people. People will take that every single time. That's not an idea. That's purchasing someone. That's something different. But when it comes to free community college for two years, only if you work, I think is their -- if you work for it. Well, that becomes free community college for two years with no work. Then it becomes free community college for four years. Then any school you want for four years. Then free anything for all years. Like it's just immigration. Social Security is another example. Well, we need insurance for these widows, their husbands die early. You know, this is sad. This is why we'll make it after the age of death, we will start paying money. Because occasionally, there's this widow that lives really long. No one can plan for that. Now, it's, I got to get to retirement. Sure, I can work for another 20 years. I have to get to retirement so I can kick my shoes off on the beach and retire in some form of luxury. Now, when that was not the attempt of the -- the program at the beginning. They would never have been able to sell it if that sold it that way to that generation of people. But now we've had a long time of expecting thins from the government. Now those things some logical to even many conservatives.

GLENN: It's really interesting because you have a happier view of what I think they're doing.

STU: Wow. Really?

GLENN: You think they're just trying to bankrupt the country.

STU: Well, or make everybody dependent on government.

GLENN: Yeah, I think they are -- I think that's the goal. Enslaving them. Because once -- once they give you this for free, there's going to be work involved. And I don't think they're going to take away the work. I think you're going to have to pay these things back. Why is the federal government guarantees these things and then makes it the only thing you can't wipe off? You can go bankrupt. Wipe off houses, cars, everything else. But not your educational debt. You must pay your educational debt. Okay. All right. So now when people can't pay their educational debt. What do they have to do? Well, why don't you serve your country? I think our -- I think our children will be enslaved by this debt. And it's not just the educational debt. It's all of the debt. And, quite honestly, I think we're all going to be enslaved. You know, look at what's happening. Just with oil.

Canada is begging us. Take our oil. Take our oil. We're saying it's bad for the environment to put a pipeline across our country. Is it bad for the -- is that worse for the environment than loading up giant tankers in the Middle East and shipping them across the ocean?

STU: It's, of course, safer to go through the pipeline and at less cost.

GLENN: Not only less cost. Less fuel. Less carbon emissions. You're pumping -- those engines are running all the way across the ocean.

STU: Who do you have other than the senior editor at nature magazine or science magazine. One of the two. I can't remember which one it is. Who said just that, that actually preventing the pipeline is worse for the environment because these oil cents will be used anyway.

GLENN: Right. Think of this. We're paying to have all of that -- all of that oil shipped from Saudi Arabia, put on giant ships, all that carbon emission to get it over here. Then all that carbon emission to get it back for another load. While Canada is doing the same thing for China! Taking all that oil. Why don't we just try to keep it on our own continent?

STU: Yeah, there's no reason we can't be North American in energy.

GLENN: Exactly right. Exactly right. Between Mexico and Canada and the United States, we have more fuel than anybody else in the world by far. And what are we doing with it?

PAT: By far.

GLENN: So when we aren't paying our own debt, we won't tap our own resources, we won't sell our own land, we won't sell our own assets, we won't do anything to pay off our debts, at some point China will come knocking on the door and say, you owe me $7 trillion. Now, we can pay off that debt. But we won't. And they're just going to -- we're going to repossess. We want this area. This area. This area. Or, we want you to produce these things. And we'll all be making bamboo umbrellas for the Chinese. And we'll all be enslaved to that debt.

There was a time when both the Left and the Right agreed that parents have the final say in raising their children... Not anymore.

In the People's Republic of California, the STATE, not parents, will determine whether children should undergo transgender treatments. The California state legislature just passed a law that will require judges in child custody cases to consider whether parents support a child’s gender transition. According to the law, the state now thinks total affirmation is an integral part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare.”

We are inching closer to a dystopia where the state, not the parents, have ultimate rights over their children, a history that people from former Soviet nations would feign repeating.

The Biden admin has let in MORE illegal aliens than the populations of THESE 15 states

There are currently an estimated 16.8 MILLION illegal aliens residing in the United States as of June 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This number is already 1.3 million higher than FAIR's January 2022 estimate of 15.5 million and a 2.3 million increase from its end-of-2020 estimate. Even Democrats like New York City's Mayor Adams Mayor Adams are waking up to what Conservatives have been warning for years: we are in a border CRISIS.

However, this isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010. In the first two years of the Biden administration alone, the illegal alien population increased by 16 PERCENT nationwide, imposing a whopping net cost of $150.6 BILLION PER YEAR on American taxpayers. That is nearly DOUBLE the total amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

This isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010.

These large numbers often make it difficult to conceptualize the sheer impact of illegal immigration on the United States. To put it in perspective, we have listed ALL 15 states and the District of Colombia that have smaller populations than the 2.3 MILLION illegal immigrants, who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. That is more than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, and South Dakota COMBINED—and the American taxpayers have to pay the price.

Here are all 16 states/districts that have FEWER people than the illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.

1. New Mexico

Population: 2,110,011

2. Idaho

Population: 1,973,752

3. Nebraska

Population: 1,972,292

4. West Virginia

Population: 1,764,786

5. Hawaii

Population: 1,433,238

6. New Hampshire

Population: 1,402,957

7. Maine

Population: 1,393,442

8. Montana

Population: 1,139,507

9. Rhode Island

Population: 1,090,483

10. Delaware

Population: 1,031,985

POLL: Should the Government control the future of AI?

Earlier this week, tech titans, lawmakers, and union leaders met on Capitol Hill to discuss the future of AI regulation. The three-hour meeting boasted an impressive roster of tech leaders including, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and others, along with more than 60 US Senators.

The meeting was closed to the public, so what was exactly discussed is unknown. However, what we do know is that a majority of the CEOs support AI regulation, the most vocal of which is Elon Musk. During the meeting, Musk called AI "a double-edged sword" and strongly pushed for regulation in the interest of public safety.

A majority of the CEOs support AI regulation.

Many other related issues were discussed, including the disruption AI has caused to the job market. As Glenn has discussed on his program, the potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real, and many have already felt the effects. From taxi drivers to Hollywood actors and writers, AI's presence can be felt everywhere and lawmakers are unsure how to respond.

The potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real.

Ultimately, the meeting's conclusion was less than decisive, with several Senators making comments to the tune of "we need more time before we act." The White House is expected to release an executive order regarding AI regulation by the end of the year. But now it's YOUR turn to tell us what YOU think needs to be done!

Should A.I. be regulated?

Can the government be trusted with the power to regulate A.I.? 

Can Silicon Valley be trusted to regulate AI? 

Should AI development be slowed for safety, despite its potential advantages?

If a job can be done cheaper and better by AI, should it be taken away from a human?

Do you feel that your job is threatened by AI?
