Glenn: How can John Fetterman’s staff LIVE WITH THEMSELVES?!

It’s clear — to anybody with eyes — that John Fetterman currently does not have the ability to serve effectively as Pennsylvania’s next Senator, Glenn says. And the Democrat candidate’s debate with Dr. Oz last night proved it. In fact, Glenn says the debate was ‘DISGUSTING,’ because no one on Fetterman’s staff stopped it before he embarrassed himself on live television: ‘How can that staff live with themselves?’ In this clip, Glenn and Stu dissect the debate and what Pennsylvania voters SURELY must be thinking after it…

GLENN: Did anybody feel like they needed to take a shower, after the debate last night? It was so uncomfortable and so -- it was almost inhumane.

STU: Disgusting.

GLENN: It was disgusting. It really was. Suboptimal, if you're a politician. Disgusting, if you're a human being.

I -- it is -- it is clear Fetterman does not have the ability to be able to -- can you -- I mean, what is he going to do? You think he's going to go around and talk to senators and make a good case for his point of view? He is nothing, but a place holder, to be told what to vote on. Not somebody who is being brought in for his intellectual capabilities. He's just a vote. He's a puppet. And it -- and it was disgusting how -- how that staff can live with themselves, is beyond me. How do you -- how do you put a guy -- you don't walk out -- when you see this guy, operating at that level, you don't say, come on, guys. This is just -- this is just wrong. This is just wrong. This is the best candidate in all of Pennsylvania. Really?

STU: The entire campaign staff, should have walked out. Should have walked out and resigned weeks ago. If he insisted on going through with this. You know, from a political standpoint, under no circumstances, should they have agreed to this debate. They should have come up with some excuse.

We're not going to debate Dr. Oz. He lives in New Jersey.

We'll never find him in one of his mansions. He's having too much crudités. Whatever you wanted to say, to avoid this night happening, you needed to say, if you wanted your candidate to win. But that ignores the moral consequence of what they've done.

They put a man, embarrassed him in front of the entire country. They allowed this guy, to go up on stage. Which obviously. Obviously, anyone with eyes, could have told you, that that should not have occurred. They should not have put him out there. They should have months ago, said, look, we were really hoping for the best.

We were hoping, he could recover from this. The doctor said there was a chance. It didn't happen. We needed to change candidates, and put somebody else in.

GLENN: You know what is really bad? The media is still covering.

They're saying that this guy can recover, from these strokes.

More than he is. That's not true. The media is lying to you. Ask any doctor, or anyone who has ever had a stroke in their family. You have about six months to improve. Wherever you are, at the end of that six months, is pretty much where you'll be. You might make a little progress here or there. But nothing that is remarkable.

That's where you are. So this is who this guy is going to be. At his best!

This is who the guy is going to be. And really? You think that's appropriate to send him, into a deliberative body, at this time, in our nation?

It's reprehensible.

STU: Glenn, you and I have watched some of the biggest debates, over the past 20 years. Some of which, Republicans have done really well.

They've -- I remember, watching them, and being -- you know, celebratory. Like this was incredible. Wow.

I really wanted Dr. Oz to win that debate last night. I did not feel good about watching it at all. It was disturbing to watch.

GLENN: Oh, I almost turned it off.

STU: Yeah. It was hard.

GLENN: It was so hard to watch.

I wanted Dr. Oz to win. And I think he clearly did.

STU: Clearly.

GLENN: But to watch. This was a wounded animal.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And the moderators did everything they could, to cover -- cut his time. You know, okay. Well, hang on just a second. Well, I want to ask you again.

Well, you didn't answer the question. I mean --

STU: It tells you everything you need to know about the Democratic Party.

GLENN: Let me just play a couple of cuts, in case you missed it. Here's Fetterman. This is his opening statement.

Cut one.

VOICE: What qualifies you to be a U.S. senator?

You have 60 seconds.

VOICE: Hi. Good night, everybody. I'm running to serve Pennsylvania. He's running to use Pennsylvania.

GLENN: Hello, got a night, everybody.

STU: And that was him saying good night to the campaign.

GLENN: You can say, okay. All right.

STU: You could say, maybe he meant good evening.

It's weird, because they keep telling us, he will just stumble over word. That's not what we saw last night. Yes, we saw a lot of that, I should be clear. But there were times that he could not grasp concepts.

GLENN: Here he is, calling out -- being called out on his fracking stance. Listen to this.

STU: Yeah. This is a great example.

VOICE: I absolutely support fracking. In fact, I live across the street from a steel mill, and they're going to frack, create their own energy, in order to make them more competitive. And I support that. Living closer to anybody else in Pennsylvania, for fracking to myself. I believe that we need independence with energy.

And I believe that I've walked that line my entire career. I believe Democrats --

GLENN: Mr. Fetterman, I do have a specific question. Which you can continue on this topic.

But you have made two conflicting statements regarding fracking.

In a 2018 interview, you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all. I never have. But earlier this month. You told an interviewer, quote, I support fracking. I support the energy independence, that we should have here in the United States.

So, Mr. Fetterman, please explain your changing position, 60 seconds.

VOICE: I've always supported fracking.

STU: That's not even the worst part of that.

GLENN: No, no, no. So they ask him. Here it is. Cut three.

VOICE: I do want to clarify something. You're saying tonight, that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking, but there is that 2018 interview that you said, quote, I don't support fracking at all. So how do you square the two?

GLENN: This is the fourth attempt.

VOICE: Oh. I -- I do support fracking. And I don't -- I don't -- I support fracking, and I stand, and I do support fracking.

STU: I mean, I -- breathless watching that. That's maybe the single worst moment in any debate, I've ever seen in my life. And, Glenn, that has nothing to do with auditory processing.

GLENN: No.

STU: That is a man who cannot come up with, I changed my mind. I don't remember that interview. Maybe I was misquoted. I don't know what the -- the context of that comment was, but I've always supported fracking. Anything other than just repeating yourself, multiple times over. Stopping. Reversing yourself. And then saying it again.

That is not -- that has nothing -- that's brain function. Anyone would know, to say something that would justify that comment. There are things, right?

Look, I had a change of heart on this. In 2018, I was a little skeptical. And I've changed my mind. In 2018, I don't know what that interview is. I don't remember what that interview is at all. I don't know what that quote is, I will have to look it up, after the debate. There's 100 things you can say in that moment to get out of it, he can't come up with one of them.

GLENN: So it is not brain function. It is not brain function. As a father of a daughter, who has strokes, Mary can tell you everything you need to know about the Federal Reserve. Okay? She can tell you you need to know about money printing. Everything else. Because she's asked me about it.

STU: Sure.

GLENN: She processes things much differently. Language. So it takes her -- when I taught her, you know, about the fed, it took me three days to find the way to explain it to her, until she got it. Then she gets it.

And then she's got to translate it. And she'll say several times. I'm looking for the word. It's not -- no. It's not -- it's not.

And she'll get very frustrated. Because she -- she can see it in her head. But she cannot spit it out.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: She can't do it. But that doesn't mean, that you should serve in the Senate. This is a senior statesman.

Okay? This is the guy, who has to make the case, to his people in his state, why he voted a certain way.

If he can't make the case, on the floor, back home, on television, what good -- I mean this nicely. What good is he?

STU: As a senator.

GLENN: He is only a vote. That's all he is.

He is not somebody who can persuade people. Or explain things.

Nothing. That is a big part of the job. You know, if you had a president, who just could not communicate at all, for some reason.

STU: What a crazy scenario. Explain this. It sounds too foreign. To understand.

GLENN: Right. But he could not communicate at all. But he was fully lucid. He would not make a good president. Because he has to be able to communicate.

STU: Right. It's a crucial part of the job.

GLENN: It's a crucial part.

STU: And I make the Biden joke.

But to be clear. And I, again, think Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible president.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: And he really does have these issues that we've talked about over these years. But when you watch a 20-minute speech from Joe Biden. What you'll see, is 13 or 14 minutes of basic coherence. You will see a significant piece of time, where Joe Biden is communicating somewhat okay.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: You will understand what he means. You can understand what he's going for. And then Biden has his couple of moments there, that are terrible.

And he loses where he's going. And he just stops, and says, come on, man. Whatever. We've talked about it 100 times.

Joe Biden is light years away -- or ahead of where John Fetterman is. Fetterman was the entire time, like that.

GLENN: So here's the question: When someone can't explain themselves, from confusion or whatever, it leads to really bad things.

For instance, let me play what the president just said this week, about the bailout for student loans. Listen to this.

BIDEN: You probably are aware, I just signed a law that was challenged by my Republican laws. The same people that look at PPP loans for up to close -- in some cases, five, $600,000. They have no problem with that. The individuals in Congress, got those. But what we've provided for.

If you go to school. If you qualify for a Pell grant. You qualify for 2000 -- I mean, excuse me.

You qualify for $20,000 in debt forgiveness. Secondly, if you don't have one of those loans, you just get 10,000 written off. It's passed. I got it passed by a voter too.

GLENN: Stop. He didn't get that passed. It wasn't passed by a vote or two.

STU: Called it a law.

GLENN: Yeah. It's not a law. It was an executive order. So, is he lying? Is he confused? Or is he being told something, that isn't true?

Is he being told, no, Mr. President, you have the right to do that. You don't remember?

They passed that law. It was close. But you won it by a couple of votes. All of those are possible.

He may be being lied to. And just used, as a puppet. He may be confused, at that moment. Or he may be lying. We should know which one.

STU: There's not another possibility though. It's one of those three. All of them are terrible.

GLENN: It's one of those.

STU: But honestly, we've come to the point, where my standards are so low. I'm cheering for the lying.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: That is where we are with this country, with this leadership.

GLENN: You're not going to fix a country, if you're cheering for the lying option. You're just not.

GLENN: There's a difference between a revival and an awakening. We are in a revival right now, but that doesn't necessarily lead to anything. Except, oh, I have to re-learn those principles. But that doesn't mean you apply them in your life. Okay?

That's an awakening. There's been two great awakenings in American history. One brought us the American Revolution. The second one brought us the Civil War and the freedom of slaves.

We have the possibility of going into a third great awakening. That's the only thing that will save us. If you don't know the difference between a revival and an awakening. Let me give you the negative print of a godly awakening. Our kids right now, they don't have any purpose. They don't have any meaning.

They look at everything, and it doesn't -- it's not real. None of it is real. It's money. It's fame.

It's -- you know, it's ever changing truths and definitions. And they have no purpose in their life. Okay?

So they're looking for that. Because man has to have purpose in his life. Man has to search for meaning.

So they're searching for meaning. And they found a group of people that actually mean something. And they're willing to die for it. And it's ISIS.

And so they're like, at least these people believe in something. They believe it. And they're willing to die for it. I'm going to stand with them. And they put that twisted understanding into action. That's the -- that is -- that's an awakening. It's just an awakening to the dark side. And that one is already happening. It has to happen on the good side. And let me speak directly to young men: Look, you are inheriting a very loud, angry, cynical and worst of all spiritually starving and malnourished society. And you are being sold a future of cheap pleasures and hollow heroes and screens with blue light that just rob you of your strength, one distracted second after another.

And in the middle of all that noise, may I just give you one piece of instruction. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praise-worthy, seek those things.

Don't admire them. Don't nod at them. Seek them!

Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things. A man who will do that. A boy. A young man who will do that, will become different. Noticeably different.

He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel.

He will become a curator of -- of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.

When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope!

When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he'll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep!

You want to know what the secret of becoming strong is, or becoming trusted, or becoming the kind of man that your future wife, your future children, your future nation can depend on?

Here it is!

You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. If you seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily. Like the steel glow of a blade being forged.

That's who you'll be.

The world has a plentiful, seemingly never-ending supply of angry boys. We don't need any more addicted boys.

We don't need any more distracted boys. The world needs men. Whole men. Clear-eyed men.

Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms, trying to own them!

Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser. Fill your days with work, hard work, that makes you stronger. Fill your home with beauty that lifts every soul who walks into it.

Have your home a place where people walk in and go, man, I say so great here. I just love it here. I don't know what it is about your house. I just love it. It's the spirit that's there! Because you built it! You protect it.

Protect your integrity like a watchman on the wall. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. And when you fail, and you will, stand back up again.

Because a man who seeks the virtuous, is not a man who never fails. He just -- he just becomes a man who refuses to stay on the ground.

If you seek things that are lovely and pure, trustworthy, praiseworthy, you'll become a kind of man this age almost never produces. A man whose very existence is a rebuke to the darkness.

That's your calling. That's why you were born.

Not to be lost. Not to play video games. Not to give up. Not to say, there's no hope. Not to end up in the trash bin of human history because you've -- you've taken so many drugs, you can't stand up straight anymore.

You're not destined to be alone.

You were destined for great things. You are destined to find an amazing woman!

Believe me. I didn't think I would ever find an amazing woman. Because I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think I was worth it.

And until I started understanding how God works. That, yeah. I'm not worth any of the stuff that I have.

When you realize, it's all a gift. It's all a gift. And even if you work your brains out, you may not ever get all the things that you want. But you're going to have everything you need. Once you realize, carefully selecting friends makes a difference. My mother used to always say, show me your friends. I will show you your future.

It's true. Be careful who you select as friends. Watch your language. Watch what you're putting into your brain and what's coming out of your mouth. Because the brain is so amazing. It's being turned to mush. Did you know that there is a new study that just came out. I have to tell you about it next week, maybe.

New study going out. It is -- it's AI. And it has access to social media, and they have found that the AI -- the AI that is scrolling through social media all day, just to keep updated on everything that's going on in social media. It's getting brain mush. It's actually becoming dumber. It's become less effective!

It's a machine. What do you think this, flesh and blood, this thing is going to do?

We say life is meaningless. And life is the only thing that has any value. And yet, we spend all of our time, on things like social media. And that has absolutely no value.

But we think that's life.

I'm not that smart. I've just lived a long time. And I've made so many mistakes.

And I decided at one point, I'm going to stop saying, it's somebody else's fault. I'm going to start saying. Maybe -- what did I do to create that?

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

Why is it that I always find myself involved with these same kind of people?

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

What you think, it's like -- it's like think of yourself as a -- as a beacon. It's just -- you're a beacon. Your GPS pin, that is constantly saying, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

Except, it's transmitting more than just your location. It's -- it's transmitting what you're looking for, who you are. And it's attracting other dropped pins to you. It's saying, "I like this. I think this way. I believe these things. I am afraid of these things."

Whatever it is, you're thinking. It's constantly putting that out.

And saying, here I am. Is there anything else like that?

Anything else that can reinforce that? Anything else that can live like this?

Because that's me. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

That's why you keep finding yourself in exactly the same situations. Nothing will change, if nothing changes!

And the only thing that you can change, is you!

Seek the things, that have virtue.

Seek the things, that have beauty in music, in -- in art, in life, in architecture, in clothing! Whatever it is. Look for real, lasting beauty and value.

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

Universally true. Find the things that uplift. Seek those things!

And you will change your life and your world!
