WHAT?! Biden APOLOGIZES for Calling Laken Riley’s Alleged Murderer “ILLEGAL”

President Biden made a big apology related to his mention of Laken Riley and her alleged murderer during his 2024 State of the Union address. But the apology wasn’t for calling Laken “Lincoln.” He instead apologized to the illegal immigrant accused of killing her for calling him “an illegal.” “When did we start worrying about the feelings of the killer,” Glenn asks. Glenn also looks back at how Democrats used to talk about illegal immigrants, and the difference is shocking …

GLENN: President Joe Biden, thank goodness. In step with the American people.

Apologized for describing the suspected killer of Lincoln.

A/k/a, Laken Hope Riley. I described him as an illegal immigrant during the State of the Union.

STU: I believe he just said "illegal."

GLENN: Oh, he did. He just said "illegal." And people aren't illegal.

STU: Human beings cannot be illegal!
All humans are legal!

GLENN: Illegal.

Oh, my goodness.

STU: I wonder if that applies to babies born in states that ban abortion. Is that process illegal?

GLENN: Babies born.

STU: In states that have banned abortion.

A Texas baby, that the mom really wanted to kill, just couldn't get around to it because of the law. Are those babies legal? Because they keep telling us everything about it is unconstitutional.

GLENN: Well, I'll tell you, I think, for instance, Manson. Charlie Manson.

You know, the guy with the swastika on his head.

STU: I remember him.

GLENN: Okay. He's not illegal.

STU: No human is illegal.

GLENN: Yeah. But what he did was illegal.

STU: Wait. Is that how the law works?

That human beings can have actions that are illegal. They're not illegal themselves.

GLENN: They're not illegal. If you do something. Let's say, thinking outside the box here.

Come into a country. And you're not supposed to be here. Okay?

And so you cross our border, illegally. No. You're still a legal human being.

But you've -- you've now come to cross purposes with the law.

STU: Right. So your actions are the thing that formed --

GLENN: Yes. Your actions are illegal. And shorthand, we would just call you illegal. Instead of having to explain it every time, to dummies.

STU: Although, you just did have to explain it to a bunch of dummies.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Mainly in the White House. Or in Congress. Or have a D after their name.

The D, by the way, does not stand for Democrat. It stands for dummy. So this guy killed Lincoln Hope.

She was a nursing student. He brutally killed her.

Kidnapped her. During the State of the Union address, he -- he was confronted by Marjorie Taylor Greene, who yelled, say her name. Say her name. Because he had never mentioned her name.

And that's when he called her Lincoln. Okay. No. Yeah. It's Laken, but good for you for finding a name that starts with an L.

STU: Look, he's confused with a college football coach. Of course that can happen.

GLENN: Yes, and it was another president, and he was thinking of Civil War.

STU: There you go.

GLENN: So that really upset the family of Laken.

Lincoln's mom, well, she had been dead for a long time, so she didn't even really notice it.

So here's what happened: Expect -- on itself plane on Saturday. Had to go to California to give a speech. Couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Anyway, so I'm on the plane. I land.

And I said, to somebody who was on the plane with me.

You have the headlines?

He said, yeah. Looks like President -- President Biden just apologized for the Lincoln Riley thing.

I said, well, it's only a couple days late, but at least he did it.

And then I got on to my own laptop, and started looking at -- and said, no. No. That's not what he apologized for. He apologized for calling him illegal.

It is -- I mean, I don't even -- what!

He is from Venezuela.

He crossed into the United States. Illegally.

He -- you know, of course, he was an undocumented person. He goes -- he comes here. He gets all kinds of help. They -- they catch him at the border.

They release him within an hour or so. They ship him to New York.

Where he gets free room and board.

I think he also gets a couple of extra free spaces in bingo up at the church.

And what does he do?

Breaks the law. Goes down to Georgia.

Breaks the law. Oh, well, I'm here. I may as well kill a woman.

This is a really bad guy.

And why is it the president had to apologize?

You know that was a setup.

Do we happen to have the audio by any chance?

No.

You know this was a setup.

He was on MSNBC. And the MSNBC anchor says, so do you feel bad at all? About calling him an illegal?

Now, why would you ask that?

Go ahead, here it is.

VOICE: During your response to her heckling of you, you used the word "illegal" when talking about the man who allegedly killed Laken Riley.

BIDEN: Undocumented person. I shouldn't have used the word "illegal." It's undocumented.

And, look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about on the border was that is the way he talks about vermin. The way he talks about these people polluting the blood. I talked about what I won't do. I'm not treating any -- any of these people with this disrespect.

Look, they built the country. The reason our economy is growing.

We have to control the border, and more orderly.

GLENN: Right. Right.

VOICE: So you regret using that word?

BIDEN: Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right.

This was the White House putting him in a softball situation, and tipping off the interview, hey, ask him about illegal.

STU: Yeah. 100 percent. These things do not just happen like that.

GLENN: No.

STU: Obviously, in reality, no one cares whether he said it was illegal. The fact that he didn't know the name was a bigger situation.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Than that. And the fact that he -- you can tell he was -- she was trying to goad him into talking about this.

She wanted him to mention this story. Which he would have never mentioned, if it wasn't for her.

If it wasn't for Marjorie Taylor Greene, he wouldn't have even mentioned it in that speech.

And look, it wound up drawing more attention, which is great.

But it's incredible, that that is where we are. Where we have to give the media giving him softball interviews.

At least he's doing interviews. He avoided the Super Bowl interview. At least he's doing interviews.

GLENN: He probably didn't have a lot guarantee, that it was going to be, what's your favorite ice cream?

So he's apologizing, that he would use the word "illegal" for somebody who is here illegally.

And didn't apologize for his role in allowing this guy to be here.

I love all of this -- this lefty bullcrap, that, you know, what about all the crimes that were done by illegals?

Yes. You mean citizens.

There's lots of crime done by citizens. Absolutely. But there's absolutely no reason to import people, who are criminals, into this country. So they can do crime.

We -- we should know who is here.

You know what, he's part of a pretty vicious gang. I don't think we let him in.

And you -- Mr. President, you, Mayorkas, and everybody else involved, who has been pushing these policies. Their blood is on your hands. Period.

Period. And there's a lot of blood on your hands. I mean, should we count the number killed in Ukraine?

Because that's directly responsible. You're directly responsible for that action, of Russia.

All you had to say was, we're not going to make Russia a part of NATO. That's all you needed to say. And you wouldn't say it.

You wanted the war. So her blood. The blood of everybody else, that has been injured or killed here in America, because you opened the border. Ukraine. Oh, all the people, really, at the Abbey Gate.

Of course, the 19 Marines. You know, that blood is -- there's a lot. I don't know if I can tally up all of the blood, but there's a lot on your hands.

Do you apologize for any of that?

STU: If you're in an interview talking about the Laken Riley situation, you think at the very least, if you're going to ask the question, hey, did you say illegal wrong? You would also mention, hey, what about mispronouncing her name?

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Right? It's almost directly related.

GLENN: Have you met her?

This is so crazy. When did we start worrying about the feelings of the killer?

Look what's happened!

Stu just brought up a very good point.

He asked about mislabeling the killer. Not about the callousness of not knowing her name. Nor, reaching out to the family, and consoling. How about that one?

STU: And, of course, when he did attempt to console from the stage. He made it about himself. Which he did every single time.

GLENN: Every time.

Really? Well, I know your son was I guess in the war. The war wasn't happening in Georgia. You know. This has and he didn't lose him in the war.

GLENN: I know that.

STU: He also lost him because of cancer. Which again, is terrible. But had nothing to do with the situation they were dealing with.

Cancer is a vicious killer. And so is this illegal.

He's a vicious killer.

More on this, in just a second. First, let me tell you about are of.

Some people seem to be born tough. Like Helen. You remember Helen?

She still here? Helen!

Yes.

STU: Hi.

GLENN: Hi, Helen, how are you?

STU: Wonderful. I'm really glad we're talking again. Any time I get a chance to talk to you, I'm very happy.

GLENN: Really. Well, why not stay in the greenroom. I can have you back every ten minutes or so.

STU: Great!

GLENN: Anyway, you have pain, right?

STU: Lots of pain. You know, the incredible surgery and shots I've been going through, seemed to leave marks.

GLENN: Really?

STU: And, yeah. The pain is excruciating.

GLENN: But had you had that female pain yet?

STU: Well, surprisingly, not really. I don't know what's going on.

GLENN: Really? That must be just you.

STU: It must be just me.

GLENN: Right.

STU: You know, I'm so feminine now. Everyone thinks immediately, I must be dealing with that, on a monthly basis.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But not -- nope.

No.

GLENN: Huh.

STU: Very male in that sense.

GLENN: Wow. Have you had the ovaries checked?

STU: You know, they can't find them anywhere.

I asked, can you put some in, so the next doctor will find them. They say, they don't do that yet.

GLENN: Wow. Okay. Well, follow the science.

STU: Hey. Just one good piece of information: You paid for my surgery. You paid for my surgery. Thank you so much.

GLENN: I paid for it? How did I pay for your surgery?

STU: Taxpayers are now paying for my surgery, which is great. I wanted to thank you, because of how much you pay in taxes.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: So just think about that -- it's come up on April soon. Think about how wonderful that will be.

GLENN: I used to think it's really great, that, you know, on April, I think to myself, maybe I bought a plane that's keeping the country safe.

STU: Nope!

You bought something much different.

And it's now in the medical waste bin.

So I love Miranda Divine from the New York Post. I love her.

I was reading this story today. I didn't know who wrote it. It was from the Post. I didn't know who wrote it.

And I went, it's got to be Miranda Divine.

She said -- about this interview on MSNBC.

The first question was gently to chide the president for using the word illegal. Not for the insult of getting Riley's name wrong, or the outrage of allowing her to kill her into the country.

Look, when I spoke about different things between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about was the border. The way he talks about vermin.

It was the same after the train derailment spilled toxic chemicals that sickened residents of East Palestine, Ohio.

Biden's studious indifference allowed Trump to ride into town with fresh water and concerned words, two weeks after the disaster.

Biden couldn't find it in him -- find the town for a year. His people said, he was too busy. But he's never too busy for long weekends in luxury vacations.

Biden likes to emote about his own tragedies, every chance he gets. And this has been misinterpreted as empathy. It's not empathy. It's narcissism.

If he had a shred of empathy, he would unwind his open border executive orders of January, February '21. And stop lying that it's the Republican's responsibility.

This is a classic example of Biden's border madness. Despite being listed in the Department of Homeland Security documents as an active member of the deadly Tren de Aragua gang. I'm not a gang member. So I don't know all of their cool names.

The Post reported, this man was set to be free, almost immediately after crossing the border illegally in September 22.

Put on a bus in New York. Bring on free room and board in a migrant shelter. He worked for DoorDash and UberEATS, with entry to the apartments of unsuspected New Yorkers to deliver food.

A disgrace for which those companies should be hauled over the court -- coals. He expressed his gratitude for America's generosity, by continuing to break our laws.

Multiple arrests in New York, and Georgia.

But no detention. No deportation. And the media bent over backward. Saying that the murder suspect, was from Athens.

No. Venezuela.

They're spelled differently.

As Trump says, they're not sending their best and their brightest to us, from Venezuela.

This is -- this is -- our perversion now of empathy, what we -- what we are doing now. Is replacing, well, good for evil. Evil for good.

Whoa, unto him. We -- we have now taken the victims, and put that title on the perpetrator.

And the bad guy now, is the victim.

There's more empathy on the left, and the president, for this illegal, than there is for the dead.

Or those she left behind. That -- that is not the country you want to live in.

And I'm saying that to Democrats.

You don't want to live in that country.

We've seen those kinds of countries come and go. And they're abominations. You have to stop misplacing the empathy.

We used to be a nation of -- of heroes, and those heroes were the people, who were the underdogs.

We've replaced the underdog. The underdog is not the individual. Not anymore. It's this big terrifying group, that says, I, as an individual have a problem.

And they've gathered themselves into groups, with clubs.

And if you don't listen to them, they're Goliath!

Leaving you the one who is supposedly holding them down. To be beaten, by this mob!

No. They're -- they're not the victim. They're not little David.

They're Goliath. The individual remains the underdog.

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Glad you're here. It's a Monday.

Bitcoin is over 72,000 now. 72,300. Amazing.

STU: Oh, is that it? Crypto is still dead. I want to make sure.

GLENN: No. Crypto is dead. Well, not right now.

But the moment it starts going down, it will be dead again.

STU: I saw so many stories about people who invested when it was 60 something thousand. And then they lost everything.

And those stories were everywhere. And I don't see them as often, when it goes up. That's such a weird thing.

GLENN: You know who lost?

The people who bought it at 60. Then pulled it out of the market. Now it's at 72.

STU: Yeah. Here's a true statement. Every single person, who has ever in the entire history of Bitcoin, bought it and held it to today, has made money. All of them.

100 percent of them. Congratulations to all of you. You people who decided to sell, oh, well, sometimes that goes wrong.

But if you decided to hold it, every single person who has ever done it in human history has made money. Oh, what a terrible investment.

Crypto dead. Let's write some more articles. Where are you guys?

Let's see it all over again. I can't wait until it goes down to 58, and we have the same cycle all over again.

I can't believe -- Bob toxin of southeast, South Bend. After seeing Pete Buttigieg's battle against underbridge lighting, decided to sell his Bitcoin and be lost 11 teen dollars. And now lives under that bridge, under that wonderful underscaped lighting.

And --

GLENN: This is why government needs to regulate it. Because people get hurt.

STU: Where is Elizabeth Warren when we did her?

Where are you, Liz. I haven't heard from Liz lately, on this stuff.

GLENN: You will. You will again.

STU: She's always blabbing about something. Just, it's infuriating.

Like, I mean, look, how many -- we're well over a trillion dollars in market cap.

How many times have we seen these things go to zero after we get to a trillion? Does that happen a lot? I don't know. It's pretty rare.

GLENN: Did pets.com get to a trillion? Then no. No.

STU: I'm pretty sure no. Pretty sure no.

GLENN: By the way, may I -- may I just point out the more perplexing story of the day, from Politico?

And that is, what's up with raw milk?

Now, normally, I'm not into my raw milk stories.

STU: No?

GLENN: Doctor says I'm getting too much of -- in my diet, of stories about raw milk.

How raw milk went from a whole food staple, to a conservative signal.

This story is fascinating to me. Because it's true. We're like switching places.

If you shopped at Whole Foods, 15 years ago, you were a Democrat. Had to be. Flaming liberal, okay?

Most likely, if you were eating at Cracker Barrel. Most likely, you voted for a Republican.

I don't know who the Democrats have become.

But we are people now, that enjoy Cracker Barrel and raw milk. And I've never -- have you ever had raw milk.

STU: No. I never have. We've talked about it a bunch of times. Never actually consumed it.

GLENN: Should get some raw milk.

STU: I have no interest consuming it, per se. But I know some people really like it.

GLENN: Why?

STU: I don't know.

I think Louis did a decent job with the whole pasteurization thing. That was the whole thing.

GLENN: Good old Louie, man.

STU: I thought he did the right thing.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, I mean, it was a progressive idea.

STU: It was.

As far as --

GLENN: The stats are. Do you know how many people have died?

STU: Oh, I can guess. How many people have died from raw milk, per year? Or what's the time period you're looking for?

GLENN: Give me from 19 -- I'm looking for it here -- 1998 to 2018.

STU: Oh, my gosh. Twenty -- well, 396,000. That's -- I'm just judging on the coverage of it.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: I don't know. Well, it seems like every one who has died.

GLENN: You actually were pretty close. 300 -- what?

STU: 396,000.

GLENN: It was three -- that's it. It was three.

STU: 300 --

GLENN: But your number had a three in it.

It started with a three. So did --

STU: Started with a three.

GLENN: Starts with a three, except it ends with the three.

It's only three. From 1998 to 2018, three.

While oysters have caused hundred deaths every year! And we still eat oysters.

STU: Right. Right. We eat lots of things that could be dangerous. And I don't think raw milk is dangerous.

GLENN: No. And I don't think that -- I don't think -- I was against it, when they were coming down on the Amish.

Leave the poor Amish alone.

I like to drink it right from the teat. Okay. I don't. I don't.

STU: No.

GLENN: But that's the way you want to drink it. Go for it. As long as it's not something else. Just trying to get milk, you know what I'm saying?

STU: I kind of want to get away from the process as much as I can, on this one.

It's one of those things insular want to think about. The more raw to me, the worse.

Because I would rather have more chemicals in it, frankly.

GLENN: In the summers, I live in a town, with a few dairy farms. I don't like driving by them with my windows closed. I just don't want to think about all of that stuff.

However, I hear raw milk is good, and really good for you.

STU: Yeah. Look, if you want to have raw milk, you should be able to have it. You need to know the risks, if there are any. I guess there are some.

GLENN: Three.

STU: Three people have died.

GLENN: 1998 to 2018.

STU: You have to believe though, more people have died from regular milk. Because so many more people drink it.

So I don't know. Same risk happens every time you go to the store and buy things. We all know something can happen.

And like, if you -- I don't understand why you wouldn't allow people to consume it, if they want to.

GLENN: And how did this happen?

How are we the raw milk drinkers? And they're -- Whole Foods stopped carrying it.

STU: Really? Well, remember, Whole Foods has gone through quite a transition.

GLENN: Who bought them? Amazon.

STU: That's right. Amazon. That's right.

GLENN: So now the lefties, I love my Whole Foods. Good thing we don't have any raw milk in here, that's dangerous. And I know because a giant global corporation owns Whole Foods, and they care.

STU: Right. Now, the person who owned it back in the day was a Libertarian. Big time Libertarian. And really believed in the mission of the company. I don't know if Amazon does, or if they just find it in a nice distribution center.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't think Amazon cares about anything, except where their drones can land. You know, I think that's pretty much -- that's pretty much here -- pretty much it.

STU: How many people have died from drones in 1998 to 2003.

GLENN: More than three. More than three.

STU: By the way, Obama was president for a part of that time.

We know it was more than three.
(laughter)

GLENN: Yeah. All right.

Speaking of -- speaking of corrupt government.

Can I just take you, just for a minute, to Liz Cheney?

And the January 6 committee.

Have you heard the latest?

Liz Cheney suppressed evidence, that President Trump pushed for 10,000 national guard troops to protect the nation's Capitol.

This is now verified, by the transcript of the deposition given, and now through Freedom of Information Act, released through the Federalist?

Mollie Hemingway, wrote this unbelievable piece this weekend. We're going to talk about it coming up in great depth with some of the players. But Cheney, and her committee, falsely claimed they had no evidence to support Donald Trump ever communicated with anyone, their desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.

Now, I've heard the opposite from people. And I thought the opposite would have been in the committee!

Right? Wouldn't you think?

If they had the opposite, and it was testimony, you would enter that, as, you know, you know, no.

Actually, people also said this.

They didn't!

They didn't. Only less than half of the information, they collected, was included in the released testimony and final report.

STU: It was obviously totally one-sided.

And you had no one representing the Trump side of this.

GLENN: None.

There's three witnesses that testified, and is in the -- not the final report.

But the actual treasure trove of everything that was gathered. This has now, Republicans put -- could have been on the committee, and decided they didn't want to be part of it, which was understandable.

Also did not give them a voice to bring these things up during the committee. To me, it was a complete waste of time. And we got nothing out of it. And it was just nonsense.

So I don't know that was the wrong move. But this is the type of stuff, that they could have caught, if they were in there.

GLENN: Yeah. But I don't know if it would have made. Did you see the latest, also on Liz Cheney this weekend?

She was instrumental, in the defense chiefs all coming up, and intelligence chiefs saying, Donald Trump in bed.

This looks like a Russian operative thing. And he was involved. That was her. She was organizing all of that.

Through the Cheney name. I mean, how do you believe anything, that comes out of Washington anymore?

STU: We should note that Liz Cheney voted for Trump in 2020.

Which is the most bizarre part, she voted for him. And turned into this person that seemingly has completely dedicated to the --

GLENN: To the big state.

STU: I don't know she's even doing now.

I don't know. Is that still under conversation?

GLENN: Good luck with that, with these things coming out.

STU: Yeah, well, this might be the thing you do. Within the race, blame everything on politics.

GLENN: Maybe she put it out.

Look how anti-Trump I was.

I mean, Nikki Haley. Yeah. She's a rookie. Look what I've done.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Glenn Beck Program. Glad you're here. Well. We started the hour with Joe Biden, making sure he was taking care of the illegal who killed Laken. And I mean, he's been so consistent on this.

I mean, Stu, could you imagine if we could go back in time and somehow or another, find like Chuck Schumer, or Biden talking about illegals?

VOICE: Can you scare an employer in this country, whether he's an agricultural worker or housewife, into not hiring an illegal, because the punishment is so high, that if you get caught, it's a huge embarrassment to your family. And you may just get hit with a fine that will kill you.

BIDEN: That's slightly what we should do.

VOICE: Because you can't catch every --

VOICE: No. You can't. And the last part of this is that the democratic position also recognizes. You have 11 million illegal aliens here. They have to have a way to earn their way into the deal. This isn't amnesty. They're required to take 11 year's worth. They pay a fine. They have to learn to speak English. They have to pass...

GLENN: That's -- now, imagine if we could find Chuck Schumer saying the same kind of stuff.

VOICE: When we use the phrases like "undocumented workers," we convey a message to the American people, that the government is not serious about combating illegal immigration. Which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong.

GLENN: Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Anyway, Stu, can you imagine if we could go back in time and find stuff like that?

STU: Yeah. I mean, we don't have those --

GLENN: Those capabilities. Just all in our imagination.

STU: Yes. That was a fascinating --

GLENN: That was 2009. 2009.

STU: I was going to say, he looked pretty old for the '80s.

GLENN: 2009.

STU: Who was president in 2009? Barack Obama?

GLENN: Barack Obama, talking about, if you're not going to say they're illegal, you're not going to stop it.

STU: He's, of course, right. And he's right in how people hear that. If you won't say that, you probably won't think it's illegal.

GLENN: Well, if anybody, I don't know how anybody who vote Democrat still think that the Democrats, that the Democrats are the ones that are fighting for the little man. The every guy. They're fighting for the labor unions. The closest they get to the little guy.

The labor unions. And then the big corporations.

They're only for big, powerful things. They're not for the individual.

STU: It's a fascinating thing. What a weird transition.

We just -- it just shows we're old. We've done this show long enough together, to see them completely switch sides on like 100 different topics.

GLENN: Can you imagine, if we were on talk radio, back in like 1970s.

We would be like, wait. Johnson.

Johnson would be the guy who stopped the Civil Rights Act. You know, I can't take it anymore.

If you were living in the '60s, you went through this transition. Where all of a sudden, without any rhyme or reason, they just are like, yeah.

I know I was the one using the N-word.

And I'm still proud to use it, you know, at my home and with my friends.

But I think we should help out these inferior races. I mean, how did they pull that off?

Just like they're doing now!

The same kind of transition. Right in front of our eyes.

Surgeon General warns parenting is HARMFUL, so give THE GOVERNMENT your kids?!

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has issued an advisory about PARENTING, declaring it HARMFUL for mental health. But his "solution" may be even more terrifying. Glenn reviews the Surgeon General's argument that the cost of parenting is causing high levels of stress. But instead of saying the solution is fixing the economy, Dr. Murthy suggests giving the government MORE control over your kids! Glenn speaks with Isabel Brown of ‪@theisabelbrown‬, who is just as furious. But she makes the case that all hope is NOT lost ... thanks to Gen Z.

GLENN: So, Stu, thank goodness the Surgeon General has come out with that warning.

That marriage and having children could be hazardous to your health.

STU: Everything that's good is bad, Glenn. They could just say that instead. Everything that's solid is liquid. What?

GLENN: Yeah. Up will be down. Down will be up. And everything that is solid will be liquid. That is where we are.

Now being a parent is hazardous to your health. And do you know why?

Because parents both have to, you know, work two jobs. And then take care of their kids. And it's so stressful. It cuts years of their life off.

So do you know what their suggestion is?

STU: Robots. Robot children?

GLENN: Right! Elon Musk. I told you, he was in on it.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: No. Their suggestion is: That you give the government more money, and they'll watch your kids for you.

Now, of all the ideas you could come up with, that one is the worse. I mean, just not having kids is really evil and bad if that's what your message is. But, well, if you're going to have kids, give them to us, to care for.

STU: Give them to us. Yeah.

I want to give it to the people, who came up with the Epstein client list.

Are those the people that I want to give my kids to.

I do feel like, that's how the matrix probably started. Right? Like you just start giving your kids over to the government, and suddenly, they're on giant wall with tubes going into them.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Well, listen to this. Did you hear -- here in Texas. In the Texas Spring Independent School District, these kids' preschool. Yeah. Preschool.

They started coming home, and they would not sleep at night.

And the parents are like, what the hell is going on with my kid? And then somebody else is like, what the hell happened to my kid? Then one of the can I see said, look, I got my sleepy sticker. Your what?

The teachers were actually giving the kids sleeping stick to hers put them asleep. So when you would come in, you drop your child off. They would go, who is going to sleepy sleep. Yeah, you are.

And they put a sticker on the kid. It releases melatonin and other kids, and put all the kids to sleep.

Are you kidding me? And these are the people that care about our children, more than you do.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Isabel Brown is somebody who I really. I tell you, I have seen the official birth of one star in my career that I think is massive.

And going to be --

STU: You know, when you say --

GLENN: Not you. It's Allie Beth Stucky. And I -- I have been watching this other talent for a while now.

And I think she is huge. I think she is one of the best commentators. And knows how to use the media probably better than anybody else.

Isabel Brown.

And she's the host of the Isabel Brown Show.

STU: It's the end of her career right here. When you get an intro like that from Glenn Beck, it's all over.

GLENN: You're dead. It's over, Isabel. Welcome to the program, how are you?

ISABEL: I am so great, Glenn. Huge fan of yours, and thank you for your kind words. What a wonderful way to start my Friday.

GLENN: Well, I have to tell you, I watch your stuff online.

And I just -- I mean, you really get it. You're very, very smart.

You're relatable. You know how the media works.

I mean, you have -- you have it all. You have it all.

So --

ISABEL: Thank you very much.

GLENN: You bet.

So let me talk to you about a couple of things that I just don't understand going on in society.

One of them is now the Surgeon General's warning, about how having kids can be hazardous to your health.

So give them to us. Kind of sounds like a bad idea.

ISABEL: One would think. Although, I say quite often, especially in speaking with my own generous, that we live in what's called the upside down. In this parallel universe, where lies have become truths. And truths have become lies. Just a few weeks ago, the United States Surgeon General, the top physician for our country did, in fact, actually put out an official health warning. A declaration, that parenting is hazardous for your health as a young adult. Because, get this, it makes you more lonely and isolated than if you never had children at all.

And instead, we're just alone. And I find this incredibly concerning. I was premed in college. And have 2 degrees in biomedical sciences.

And yearned to be a physician. I just got married at the end of June.

I'm thinking of about this next stage of my life as well.

GLENN: Why would you go into media like you are?

What is wrong with you? You had an out.

The rest of us schlubs could do nothing else.

ISABEL: It's crazy. But, you know, I'm in this phase of my life. I'm watching all my friends go through this.

And it is just alarming to me, the strategic advantage that the media are using to convince you that marriage and family, the most important bedrock foundation of our society, is somehow bad for you and going to destroy your life.

GLENN: Well, I've put the label on my children's foreheads.

Just to remind people.

If you're thinking about having a kid.

Look at my forehead. Surgeon General warning.

I think they should. I think they should all have it.

Also, the solution is, you know, if you're going to have kids. You know, because everybody is working, you know, two jobs. Their solution is, well, take some of the stress off.

Let us take care of them.

That's a horrid idea.

How about the idea of having a country where one income can actually support a family?

Instead of maybe three, or three and a half incomes, supporting a family?

That doesn't seem like a better goal?

ISABEL: One would hope. But unfortunately, it seems like our elected officials, in particular, are asking all of the wrong questions about how to fix all these ailments in society.

Their answer is always the same. More government. More regulation. More of the -- on your day-to-day life.

And the sad reality is, I really do believe that the United States of America is not the country that I grew up in.

It has the capacity to be. That's what we're fighting for every day. To go from the upside down, to right-side up, again.

If we keep continuing in this trajectory. We are leading in a race to the bottom for the developed world.

And I think it shows in our crime rate.
In our fertility rate, plummeting to an all-time low. In our marriage rates, currently standing at an all-time low. At the lowest they've ever been since 1867. We're starting to have the conversation, finally about nutrition and food and pharmaceuticals. And that's fantastic.

What's really disheartening to me, that so many of the people. Older than us. Older generation.

Haven't realized that these problems have been festering under the surface for decades because good people have sat down and been quiet and done nothing.

And I hope that it's not too late for us to tell the truth to the world, that desperately needs to hear it.

GLENN: So how do you think Gen Z is going to vote?

What is -- what is connecting with, you know, people under 30? That are going to vote?

ISABEL: I'm incredibly optimistic about Gen Z, which I often get a lot of scorn for. Particularly when I speak on cable television and mainstream media. I actually came out with a book in March. Called the end of the alphabet. How Gen Z can save America. Making the case that we are America's next great generation.

And they've been studying these trends for the past several election cycles, that are proving Gen Z is actually the most culturally and politically conservative generation we've seen since World War II.

There is a massive pendulum swing happening before our eyes. And I think we're first and foremost seeing that in this election. With young men, who are overwhelmingly politically conservative.

So when I'm saying these conversations happening on college campuses. And online, where I spend most of my time with my piers. What I'm seeing people struggle with is this sense of, we don't live in the same country.

That the people running for office claim we still do. They've been in office, longer than twice the time we've been alive. And they're wildly out of touch with the financial struggles we're dealing with.

With the cultural tug-of-war we're dealing with. I think what people are looking for, under 30, right now, more than anything is a sense of new generation of leadership. New ideas. Who is in touch with the cultural battles we're fighting today?

And being willing to just tell the truth when everyone in position of power, seem unwilling to do that right now.

GLENN: So that would go in favor of the people that Trump is surrounding himself with, I would imagine.

RFK Jr.

Even though he's an older guy.

You know, Tulsi Gabbard.

Elon Musk.

Is that translating at all in favor of Donald Trump?

ISABEL: It certainly is. It certainly is. And this idea of a unity party, I think is a fascinating idea from a young person's perspective as well. When you're seeing this Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Elon Musk, Donald Trump coalition start to build.

GLENN: Yeah.

ISABEL: It's almost in a sense, breaking the two-party system. Which I think has been a fearful conversation for a lot of people in politics, up to this point.

Because we don't know what happens after the two-party system. But in reality, it creates a much better opportunity for coalition and conversation for better ideas, to come to the surface. Rather than, the same four or five people, constantly pulling the strings of power, in both political parties.

If anything, it's really been an eye-opening experience since 2015, when we have had the curtain pulled back a bit, in the era of Trumpian politics. What we talk about in Washington, as a Uniparty, is absolutely real.

And all of the attacks we're seeing on young people right now is coming, really from a bipartisan perspective, in many ways.

The fight to ban TikTok, the fight to censor you from misinformation.

The fight to make you inject your arm with these crazy substances. We don't know what's going to happen, four or five years down the line. This is coming from both political parties.

And I think young people are speaking up to realize, it's time for something new.

GLENN: Right. You know, it's really interesting. They're conservative.

But it's almost the same thing as the hippie movement back in the '60s.

Except, this time, it's conservative. And it's like, look, we want to be natural.

We want to have freedom. We would like to have peace.

You know, we just want to get back to what's real. And in some way, except for the drug part. That's kind of what the hippies were. And don't believe anyone over 30 was what Nancy Pelosi is saying.

And now, I guess, it's you have to believe them, until they're at 90, or maybe 100.

But it's interesting to me.

I think Generation Z is the revolution. I mean -- are you familiar with the Fourth Turning of the pendulum?

ISABEL: I sure am, yes.

GLENN: Yeah. They are the hero generation. They are. They just haven't been given the opportunity to step up to the plate yet. But I'm telling you, they are going to save us.

ISABEL: Absolutely correct. And I love the hippie analogy. Because the truth is, Glenn, I don't know that the hippie movement really ever went away. The culture we're living in today, sure has changed a whole lot, since we thought about the rebelliousness of the 1970s and 1980s.

But truly, to be a punk rock radical, counterculture individual today, is to stick it to the man. And say enough to the establishment. Today, that just happens to look like, getting married and starting your own business. And saying no to a $250,000 degree in underwater lesbian basket weaving and going to church on Sundays. Eating real food. This is the type of revolution we're seeing with Generation Z. And it's so inspiring to see it take root and take place.

Because it's the same origin that our country was itself founded upon.

This idea of speaking truth to power, and fighting for liberty, to the next generation.

Our Founding Fathers, in 1776 were not 85 or 95 years old. Like we're seeing in Congress today.

They themselves were 18, 19, 21, 25 years old. So Vivek Ramaswamy often says, we're in the midst of a 1776 movement, and I couldn't see anything more obvious than that in 2024.

GLENN: We are. It's great to talk to you. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it. And I mean everything I say. I think you're a superstar. Don't go to medicine. We need your voice. I think your voice is very important. Isabel Brown. Thank you so much, appreciate it.

ISABEL: Absolutely. Thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet. God bless.

Ron DeSantis gives FEMA a MASTER CLASS with Hurricane Milton response

Hurricane Milton has hit Florida, thankfully as a Category 3 storm instead of a Category 5. But unlike what happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, it looks like Florida will have rescue and recovery efforts under control. Glenn reviews Governor Ron DeSantis' promise that under his watch, Florida won't see the embarrassing FEMA response that North Carolina did. “When there is no leadership, the people perish," Glenn warns. But DeSantis has shown what a true leader can do. Glenn also reviews a prediction he made years ago on Fox News that is coming true this election season.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Well, let me just say this. I don't know about you. But I was listening to DeSantis.

Let me see if we have the longer version of Ron DeSantis.

Giving the -- I don't have it. Giving the update, right before the hurricane hit.

It was pretty remarkable. Let's actually start on cut 13. As he's talking about looters and criminals.

VOICE: This is not going to be an opportunity, for folks to take advantage of people.

If you think you're going to go in and loot, you have another thing coming. If you think you're going to be able to go into somebody's house after this storm passes, if you think that you're going to be able to commit crimes, you're going to get in really serious trouble. And, quite frankly, you don't know what's behind that door in a Second Amendment state stop do not try to take advantage of people who are suffering because of the results of this storm. That goes for Helene, continually. But then, of course, that will be the case for Milton. I know we've already brought a lot of people. Held people accountable in post-Helene.

We will be very swift across all levels of government, to throw the book at people. And, of course, when you make these bad decisions. You're opening yourself up from property owners who may be inside that house.

GLENN: Did you hear what he just said? He is saying, justice will be served. It will be swift. But most importantly, we're the second responder.

The people behind that door, have a right to defend themselves and their stuff, so don't do it. That's an empowering leader.

That's somebody -- you know, we wouldn't have all of these -- these -- what? Conspiracy theories. All this. What are they calling it?

Disinformation.

It is not disinformation.

It's confusion, a lot of it. Confusion from what you've said and what you've done.

And then trying to explain in our own heads, what the hell is FEMA doing?

That's where it comes from. A lack of leadership.

When there -- when there is no leadership, the people perish.

That's exactly what's happening.

Notice, Florida has a strong leader, and they don't have this problem.

Here's what he said about FEMA now. Listen to this.

Cut three.

VOICE: Now, people have asked me about, is FEMA going to do this? Just let me be clear in Florida. We run the show. FEMA is not running the show.

We will utilize them to support some of the things we are doing.

But you are not going to see FEMA running amok in Florida. I know that's been out there on the internet. That is not going to happen.

I'm the sheriff that is in charge here. And we will make sure that we protect you. Don't worry about it.

GLENN: Okay. How can he say those things?

Well, he can say those things, because he's already you proven them to be true.

He's already taken before, when he was -- before he said that, he said, we have linemen from all over the country.

Already lined up, ready to dispatch, wherever the storm takes ground. Okay?

So he was telling people, we have this in place. This in place. This in place.

And we've seen this now three times with him, on major hurricanes.

So the people don't have to fear. What they were fearing in other states, was FEMA. And so what does he say?

And how could he possibly tell the federal government, mind their own business?

Because he's a believer in the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights does not have any FEMA in it. The Constitution doesn't have FEMA in it.

That's a very nice thing to keep the government safe. But it's want their responsibility. It is the responsibility of the state government.

Everything not mentioned in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that power all is -- resides at the state level, and with the individuals of each state.

So what he's saying here is, you're right.

You're not going to have a problem with FEMA here.

Because I'm running the show, as constitutionally mandated. I'm running the show. And we're not going any of that nonsense down here.

Look at the difference between a strong governor, somebody who knows the Constitution, is not doing what they did during COVID and saying, hey. I'm just going to take power. No, no, no.

Everything he's doing is constitutional.

When you have a strong governor in California, you had a nonconstitutional strong man. That's the difference between a strong man and a strong Constitutional leader.

And notice where there's chaos, and where there's none.

Will somebody please recognize on the left, that what's happening in Florida, is remarkable?

That this is the way constitutional republics behave. This is the duty of a good governor.

These are all the hallmarks of a really well-run state.

He even addressed yesterday, the -- the vote.

Don't worry, we're already working on it.

If there's a problem, we will make sure that everyone's voice is heard, for the election. The guy is on top of absolutely everything. And then, the local sheriffs take care of the rest.

As they're giving the -- the speeches on take shelter. Get out of town.

Here's what the Flagler County sheriff, Rick Staly said. Listen to this. Cut --

VOICE: Anyone who comes in, we will be checking to make sure that they're not a fugitive and not a sex offender. If you are a predator, you are not allowed at the shelter. If you are a designated under Florida law as a sex predator and you need shelter, you need to go to the sheriff at Perry Hall, and the detention facility. That's the county jail on Justice Lane, and we will accommodate you in the lobby of that building.

You've probably seen that before, I would guess.

GLENN: So what did he just say?

Despite what anyone on the left might say, at some point. Oh, my gosh. He was taking sex predators, and saying, you couldn't come to the shelter. No. No.

I believe God's house is a house of order. There is no chaos with God. Look at the difference between this and the border.

What's the difference?

Our border is chaotic. It's out of control.

Here he is, in a crisis situation, and what is he saying?

Everyone must take shelter. However, when you're going into these family shelters, if you're a predator, we will be checking everyone's papers.

Kind of like what we should be doing at the border.

We have no problem with you, if you need to take shelter, or you want to do it the right way.

But if you're a predator, we're going to take to check your papers.

If you are a predator, we know you're a human being, but you can't be with the families in the mix. Because you've proven yourself to society, that you are not trustworthy. So you need to report here, we'll be taking you to a detainment center, where you'll be safe. And our families will be safe.

Do you see the difference, when law and order and the Constitution is actually in play?

This is what -- I almost called him Ronald Reagan. This is what Donald Trump is -- is talking about.

We have to return to law and order. Constitutional law and order.

I did a show on Fox years ago, about the pendulum. Do you remember that pendulum show I did on Fox, Stu, by any chance?

And I showed how it swings left and right.

But it's actually not left and right. It's the we and the me. Those are the two ends.

When we go too far in the me direction, you get the 1980s. Me, me, me, me.

And everything is about me.

And I only care about my wealth.

And I don't care about anybody else. Okay? That's the -- that's the zenith of the me. Those are dangerous for people's souls. But those times are not usually dangerous for countries or civilizations. Because you can't gather a group of people, to say, yeah. Let's go get them.

Because it's all about the individual. Okay?

Everybody is like hurting. I mean, go ahead. Try to whip up all of the Libertarians in the country, to go and vote for one person.

Good luck with that. Okay?

The other side is extraordinarily dangerous.

It is the we. We're currently at the zenith of the we. It's starting to come back. That's. You feel it. It's an 80-year cycle. Okay?

From point to return. We are now at the end of that cycle, of the we. Those are dangerous. The last one we had was during World War II. The time before that, was the Civil War. The time before that, was the American Revolution.

So you have this cycle, that keeps cycling through. The problem is: And this is what I said on Fox. Is at some point, if you weaken society enough, you'll get a strong man dictator. And I said, at the time, could be from either side.

But somebody who will grab the pendulum, and say, we're not moving from here. Because what we have to do is too important and the ends justify the means.

It stops the pendulum from naturally swinging back the other direction. And we're right.

For about a 30, 40-year period. Maybe 20-year period. In the middle.

Okay? When it's perfectly balanced between me and we. That's when we're in the safest zone.

Where are we right now? Everybody, both sides, are worried the next guy could be a dictator.

Why is that?

Because we have crushed our underpinnings which are the Constitution.

Ron DeSantis, they want to call him a Nazi and a dictator. He's not demonstrating dictatorial tendencies here.

What he's doing is living exactly by the Constitution. You can have law and order, and the Constitution.

Anybody who says we need, you know, extra, nonconstitutional powers.

Or they want to change the Constitution because things are so crazy.

You're seeing how wrong that is, by watching Ron DeSantis.

By the way, one is saying, that we need to do stuff like this. The other slogan is. We will not go back.

We asked “60 Minutes” why they CHANGED Kamala’s answer on Israel

CBS News’ “60 Minutes” recently aired an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris about her 2024 presidential run. But keen-eyed social media users noticed that “60 Minutes” edited down her answer about Israel to cut out all the rambling and make her sound more coherent. However, it wasn’t just a simple edit. They appear to have copy-pasted an answer from another question! Glenn’s team reached out to CBS News for clarification, but has yet to receive a response. So, Glenn reviews what happened and how it appears to fit a growing trend: Kamala Harris is suddenly doing more interviews, but they’re more like propaganda pieces! Just this week, she had a beer with Stephen Colbert and was introduced as “the next president” by The View. But at least she answered one question honestly during that interview …

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: Okay. So yesterday, president Trump's campaign insisted that 60 Minutes. CBS News released an unedited transcript. They must release an unedited transcript, of vice president Kamala Harris' entire 60 Minutes interview.

Now, this came after her word salad about Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was cut from Monday's broadcast.

And it looks as though, it was a cut and paste job.

The dramatic edit was made after 60 Minutes correspondent, Bill Whitaker noted that it seems like Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

So her response to Monday night's show, was completely different. And far more coherent, than her rambling answer showcased in the preview clip that was released on Saturday.

So we wrote to 60 Minutes. We gave them until 9 o'clock Eastern to respond. We said, we want to give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you edited the clip down for time.

As often happens, in these pretaped interviews, but we looked into it for ourselves.

And sure enough, the answer she originally gave, and then CBS aired on Face the Nation, doesn't match what made it into their final edit of 60 Minutes, and it wasn't due to time.

Listen, here's her original answer.

VOICE: Does the US have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?

VOICE: The aid that we have given Israel, allowed Israel to defend itself, against 200 ballistic missiles, that were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel.

And when we think about the threat that Hamas, Hezbollah presents, Iran.

I think that it is without any question, our imperative to do what we can, to allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks.

Now, the work that we do diplomatically. With the leadership of Israel. Is an ongoing pursuit, around making clear, our principles. Which include the need for humanitarian aid. The need for this war to end.

The need for a deal to be done, which would release the hostages. And -- and create a cease-fire.

And we're not going to stop, in terms of putting that pressure on Israel, and in the region.

Including Arab leaders.

VOICE: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

KAMALA: Well, Bill, the work that we have done, has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel, that were very much prompted by -- or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

GLENN: What? What does that -- okay.

STU: Huh.

GLENN: Now, here's what it sounds like, on air.

With their totally unbiased editing magic marker, a day later.

VOICE: Does the US have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?

KAMALA: The work that we do diplomatically with the leadership of Israel, is an ongoing pursuit.

Around making clear our principles.

VOICE: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

KAMALA: We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.

GLENN: Wow!

STU: That's from a different part of the interview.

VOICE: -- ally in Prime Minister Netanyahu?

KAMALA: I think with all due respect, the better question is, do we have an important alliance between the American people and the Israeli people?

And the answer to that is yes.

GLENN: Sound more coherent? Sound more certain. Sound more presidential.

Yes! That answer, by the way, Stu was right. Is from a different part of the interview.

What we ask 60 Minutes to explain, their apparent in kind contribution to the Harris campaign. We said, greetings. An X user noticed severe edits to VP Harris' answer to the 60 Minutes interview regarding Netanyahu from the time the clip aired on Face the Nation to the final export yesterday.

That we attached both the edited and unedited.

It doesn't appear to be edited for time. Rather, a cut and paste answer from a different question.

Can you provide an explanation to the Glenn Beck Program and Blaze news, as to why this edit was made?

There are claims of bias and selective edits to makes Vice President Harris' answer appear more coherent. Our deadline is 9:00 a.m. Eastern tomorrow. We have not received, surprise, surprise, a response, from CBS News.

So are you getting anything, that is real?

Well, JD Harris pointed out. Or J.D. Vance pointed out yesterday, that, yeah. You -- you did get an honest answer from The View. Listen to what he said.

VOICE: But she walks into The View, and you would think that would be an interview. And you think that would be an easy question.

Really, propaganda. They said, can you name a single thing, where you disagree with Joe Biden?

Now, let's back up for a second. Because remember, Kamala Harris' entire campaign is to pretend that she hasn't been the vice president for the past three and a half years. You know, she stands up before crowds. And she will say on day one.

We will tackle the affordability crisis. On take one, we will secure the border. And you listen to her for five minutes. And you think, Kamala, are you going to vote for Donald Trump? Because you've been president for 1400 days. You haven't done anything.

(applauding)
So you think, after all this time, all this time, of thinking about how she would do things differently from Joe Biden.

She would have a well-prepared answer, for the interviewers on The View.

Well, they ask her one thing you would do differently from Joe Biden. You know what she says? I can't really think of anything off the top of my head.

GLENN: Wow.

VOICE: Now, in her defense, I'm not sure she could think of anything off the top of her head, whether about Joe Biden's policies or anything else.

GLENN: That is an incredible statement, that she made.

Now, Brian Stelter, who strangely is back on CNN.

STU: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: Said that he called The View, before she went on. Here's what he said. Cut two.

VOICE: She's also on The View tomorrow, talking to producers of The View last night.

They have some sharp questions for her as well. And let's remember, sometimes it's these non-traditional formats, that actually reveal a lot about a candidate.

GLENN: Uh-huh. So here is the View introducing Kamala.

VOICE: Please, welcome back the next president of the United States.
(applauding)

GLENN: Very sharp.

STU: Oh, yeah. Very sharp question.

GLENN: Very, very sharp.

STU: I will say, I agree with Stelter on that point though.

Oftentimes, it's not some big adversarial interview, where you get these good moments. I mean, this is the best moment of any of the things she's done so far. The thing that J.D. Vance was just highlighting.

Her admitting that, which is a massive strength for her campaign.

So far, she's been able to avoid responsibility, for Joe Biden.

And the fact that she just threw that out there, with no exceptions.

I mean, I don't know.

I think partially because she feels like she's in a safe zone.

She's able to kind of just let down her hair a little bit.

And blurt out things that are really helpful to her opponent.

GLENN: But can I ask. She's. Most of America is not in a safe zone right now.

I mean, you have the results of one hurricane. And another one, coming tonight.

Massive. Could be one of the biggest ones that has hit Tampa, in Florida. Of all time!

And she's last night, on Steven Colbert.

STU: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Drinking a beer with him. Listen to this.

GLENN: But elections are won on vibes.

They just want someone they can have a beer with.

GLENN: Would you like to have a beer with me, so I can tell people what that's like?

This was. Now, we asked ahead of time. I can't just be able to drink to the vice president of the United States. You asked for Miller High Life.

I'm just curious.

KAMALA: Okay. The last time I had beer was at a baseball game with Doug. Okay. Cheers.

VOICE: There you go.

There she is. Cheers for drinking a beer.

VOICE: It tastes like the city of Milwaukee.

KAMALA: The champagne of beers.
VOICE: There you go.

STU: How pathetic. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Like she's picking her beers based on swing states?

GLENN: Right. Right. Right.

STU: It's like, give me a break.

GLENN: But I really like that small brewery, right there in Nevada, and another one really in Arizona is very, very good.

STU: Don't sleep on Georgia and North Carolina.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Yeah. No. It's pretty pathetic.

GLENN: So what is -- you said this earlier.

What is the strategy change?

Why is it that she's suddenly doing all these interviews?

I think it is because they know they're in trouble.

I think there's been a shift in the polls.

And so she is doing all of these television shows, all friendly.

STU: Uh-huh. Not all -- well, yeah.

Look, there are -- nothing adversarial. You could argue 60 Minutes should be at least is a mainstream normal candidate type environment.

GLENN: Until they edit it.

STU: Until they edit it.

She did face the nation, I think too. Over the weekend. And then she did, of course, the podcast. She's done now the late night shows.

She did The View. She's going everywhere.

This is a massive change in strategy. They have been running this campaign for two or three months. The exact same way.

Keep her out of -- off TV. Just keep her on script, in front of an audience.

Get her in and out. Never have her face a question. The strategy was clear, for multiple months.

Now, all of a sudden, she's everywhere?

That is a massive change. This is a huge development in the campaign.

GLENN: So my gut would say, that the hurricane has changed an awful lot.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But I'm not sure.

I haven't watched. I have been so busy, all over, everywhere.

I haven't watched mainstream media.

Are they even covering?

Or are they just debunking. Saying. No. FEMA is everywhere.

These are crazy Trump supporters that are saying that. Is there any -- is there any peek behind the curtain, from the mainstream media?

STU: My impression is that they are covering the hurricane. And what's happening to people.

But they are not associating it with a bad response for Kamala Harris.

Or Joe Biden, or anybody else.

I haven't seen that type of coverage. Outside of conservative media.

But they are covering it.

I don't think they're hiding.

I have seen a lot of coverage about it. I had some theories about it. Run them by you.

You pick one. You kind of already selected one. Let me give it to you already. Why has Kamala Harris, all of a sudden, on TV, all the time, doing interviews everywhere?

One, could be public pressure finally getting to the campaign. We've been talking about it for months. Why isn't she doing interviews?

Why isn't she doing interviews? She's even being asked in the occasional interviews that she does, why aren't you out there anymore?

Maybe that finally got to her campaign. Possibility one.

Possibility two. Could be a planned shift in strategy.

Could be that she said, at the outset of this campaign. Let's wait. Let me get up to speed. On all these things.

She wasn't planning on doing a million interviews.

Maybe she's slow walking it.

And doing a blitz in the last month.

It was a planned change in -- change in strategy from the beginning of the campaign.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Possibility number three.

Could be Kamala Harris.

Frustration behind the scenes. Now pushing back against her handlers.

We have seen this. We saw it with Joe Biden. Of course, it was the same strategy with Joe Biden, no. Don't go out there. Don't do anything. He was behind the scenes saying, I can do it. You're not letting me go out there. You're not letting Joe be Joe. And he pushed himself out there.

And, of course, wound up blowing up his campaign.

Could be the same type of thing from Kamala. She may be thinking, you're restraining me.

That's why I'm not winning by more.

Number four, could be that they're looking at internal polls and indicators. And thinking to themselves.

We're in real trouble here.

Something has changed in the past couple of weeks.

Maybe it's the hurricane. Maybe it's something else. We're in real trouble.

Another possibility.

I mean, I'm just kind of throwing these things out there.

GLENN: I've got one for you.

STU: Okay. You've got another one?

GLENN: Maybe the polls are so good. They don't care. They're internal polling.

Now, I don't believe that.

STU: You think it's so -- why would you change strategies, if things were so good?

GLENN: Because I agree with the one, you know, she's like, look, I could be winning by a large margin. You're restraining me.

STU: So kind of the sister of that one. Yeah.

GLENN: And they think they're safe. So why not?

I don't believe that. But that is another possibility.

STU: Another possibility for you, pressure from donors.

You know, maybe donors are like, look, we're not giving you more money, until you actually go out there and get your message out there. We think it's important. That does happen with donors sometimes. It's kind of like, you see this in foreign countries, when there's a war going on.

There's a bunch of people who are kind of pressuring the administration to do X, Y, and Z. Could be the donors are coming to the table. Hey, you're not blowing them out. Because you're sitting back there. And everyone knows you're hiding.

GLENN: Could be. Let me get your answer on this, here in just a second.

First, let me tell you about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

It has been a year since the October 7th mask in Israel. By Hamas. One year since 1200 Israelis were murdered.

And more than 250 were taken hostage.

Did you see that Hezbollah is now saying, okay. Okay. Okay.

We give. Uncle. Uncle. Uncle. And Israel is saying to Lebanon. Until you completely renounce Hezbollah. We're not stopping.

I mean, they are fighting to win. Unlike we have seen anyone do, maybe since World War II.

The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is there, just purely as humanitarian. And letting the Israeli people know, that we are there.

And we are serving you. They have -- they have built bomb shelters.

They're providing flak jackets for people that are on neighborhood watch.

They're doing everything that they can, to support. Ambulances that are -- are bomb proof.

And bulletproof.

I can't believe you need those. But you do there. Let them know, you stand with them.

That we're not the same people, that, you know, we're around in the 1930s and '40s. Call to make your 100-dollar -- 150-dollar gift right now.

STU: So...

GLENN: Which one do you buy?

STU: The other one I put, the belief is maybe this campaign is actually hurting her.

And I certainly wouldn't select that one.

I think it's probably a combination.

But I do think that, they probably are seeing this, and seeing some internal indicators, thinking that they're seeing the beginning signs of trouble.

They probably are polling on the issue, and saying, and asking the question.

Internally.

Do -- is Kamala. You know, a version of essentially. Is Kamala Harris hiding?

Do you think Kamala Harris is not putting her positions out there?

Is she not speaking enough?

That stuff you can kind of test. And they might see negative reactions on this.

You look at this. You could say, it might be a tick ahead. You could say it's tied.

But they certainly don't believe that it should be tied.

They think Donald Trump is the worst person of all time.

GLENN: Right.

Well, here's another reason.

Here's Kamala Harris on Howard Stern. Listen to this. Cut 22, please.

KAMALA: To your point, I literally lose sleep. And have been over what is at stake in this election. I mean, honestly, I -- I end the day, pretty much every day, these days, asking myself, what can I do more?

STU: You know, there's a lot of reporting from inside the Kamala Harris campaign, about disappointment, that she is not doing more.

That she is not doing a lot of public events. That she is taking days off, all over the place.

Leading up to this campaign. And that also could be fueling this media blitz.

GLENN: Donald Trump is a machine, man.

STU: He's all over the place. And J.D. Vance is all over the place.

GLENN: Everywhere. Everywhere.

I mean, I went to North Carolina, then I went to Kansas City.

And I had to do the show in between all of those.

So I was just not getting much sleep. I was exhausted yesterday.

And I thought, how is Donald Trump holding this schedule for this long? And he's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The guy has not slowed down. It's amazing.

STU: It's hard to argue that about Trump.

GLENN: He is a machine. He is a machine.
