THIS is how the press is losing their power

You know what I'd love to see? I mean, don't hold your breath on this, but I think it would go a long way to healing wounds both in the country as a whole, but especially between the White House and the press. If we could get, I don't know, say 100 plus newspapers or something, to all get together and publish editorials admitting that they gave President Obama a pass when they probably shouldn't have, and yes they're attacking President Trump in ways they would never have even dared in the previous administration. Just admit that, and then maybe we could move forward in honesty.

Maybe the press would have a rebirth in credibility. Heck, maybe the Trump administration would stop calling you "Fake News."

Well, 100 plus newspapers have actually gotten together to make a coordinated statement that will be published in three days. But instead of making any kind of attempt at healing wounds, they've actually decided to do the exact opposite. Led by the Boston Globe, over 100 papers will designate August 16th to attack the President's attacks on them. I'm sorry, but the media in this country gets even more clueless and out of touch by the second. I didn't think it was possible, but they're actually getting dumber.

Now, do I like it when the President attacks the media? Of course not. But the media hasn't done themselves any favors here. They must think we're too stupid to recognize the difference between what Trump has said about the media and what Obama actually did to them. In 2009 Brenda Lee, a reporter with White House press credentials, was dragged away from the press area by the Secret Service for asking the President about traditional marriage. Was there a joint discussion among the media to support reporters in the White House press pool? In 2015 the Obama State Department kicked a conservative journalist out of an Iran nuke deal event for apparently nothing more than being a conservative journalist. Did you ever hear about a media-wide support campaign for the Obama administration not to silence the press?

No one's gonna care if the media suddenly has their feelings hurt.

And those were just the minor cases of attacks on the press. The Obama Justice Department launched an all-out war on the media. They seized phone records from reporters at the Associated Press. They put Fox News reporter James Rosen on surveillance, tracking his movements and seizing his personal emails. Can you imagine if Trump did that today to Jim Acosta? The media would be calling for impeachment. But they barely lifted an eyebrow to eight years of being pushed around, silenced and - in the case of Ben Rhodes and the Iran Deal - straight up lied to and turned into a propaganda machine.

No one's gonna care if the media suddenly has their feelings hurt. I don't like what the President says about the media, in fact, I hate it. But I also hate their blatant one-sided reporting and lack of consistency. 100, 500… they could get a thousand publications to write attack editorials on Thursday. It won't do what they want it to. It's really only going to make things worse. We need to be focused on repairing damage, not adding to it. How about this? Start with an admission of guilt and an apology. Only then will you have the credibility to do your jobs properly.

Get THE DOCUMENTS for the 'Parental Advisory' Glenn TV special

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

11. South Dakota

Population: 923,484

12. North Dakota

Population: 780,588

13. Alaska

Population: 732,984

14. Washington DC

Population: 674,815

15. Vermont

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!
