Tom Hanks has warned his fans that a company is using an A.I. version of him to advertise a dental plan — without his consent. Glenn has been warning about this day for years — the day when you can no longer trust your eyes and ears. But it won't stop at fake Tom Hanks ads. What happens when artificial intelligence is used to create a scandal or crisis — Putin or Biden saying they'll launch nuclear missiles, Donald Trump admitting to something that never happened? "We are at the 'if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit' moment with A.I.," Glenn says. We are in a crisis of truth, but it's not just from A.I. The Biden administration is telling us the truth doesn't matter and Glenn has the receipts.

GLENN: If you do not have Dark Future yet. You need to read it. We can solve problems, if we understand what's coming our way. And it's coming our way quickly.
I've been talking you to about AI. And also, deepfakes for a while now. I've been telling you for, I don't even know, ten years. Look out. When this time comes, you won't be able to believe your eyes.
Tom Hanks has just come out yesterday, or the day before saying that there is an AI version of him, promoting some dental plan. And he said, that's not me. They did -- they didn't ask me to use my likeness or anything.
But it is an AI. Tom Hanks saying, hey, this dental plan is great. I'm Tom Hanks, take my word for it.
STU: Wow. And he had nothing to do with it. It's all AI.
GLENN: He had nothing to do with it. It's all AI.
When that happens -- when that happens in a scandal. If that happens when you see something that Putin said, about we're going to launch the missiles.
Or -- or Biden say, we're going to do something crazy. You --
STU: It's terrifying.
GLENN: You don't have time. It might not be really.
STU: And what percentage of people, would accept, if they saw a clip of Joe Biden or Donald Trump saying something that was totally fake. A good percentage of the opponents would just believe it, right?
GLENN: Here's where we are.
We are at the glove. If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.
We're at that point, with AI.
STU: What do you mean?
GLENN: The genetic code. We knew. We could take DNA samples. And narrow it down. Right?
And in the O.J. Simpson trial. They said, it's like 20 people maybe in the entire world, would have this DNA code that we could mistaken for one of 24, maximum.
STU: The science said, pretty clearly, he was guilty.
GLENN: Correct, but nobody knew what DNA was.
STU: Right. Right.
GLENN: Nobody knew what -- what that meant.
Now, we're at the same place, to where, some people will never believe something that is real, and always believe things that are fake.
STU: Right. Like people -- they're not at that point, where they are able to separation fiction in that realm.
GLENN: Correct.
STU: And some of it is so hard to tell, by the naked eye.
But at this point, we still sort of have institutions holding that line.
GLENN: Do we?
STU: Right? I don't know.
GLENN: The laptop isn't real. It's Russian disinformation. When it comes to politics, I don't think there is.
If it's political, if it's a dental thing.
STU: Yes, it's still there.
GLENN: But if it's a political thing, I don't think you could trust them.
STU: Let's just say, a fake video came out, of Donald Trump blurting out the N-word. Like, I would say, most of the liberal commentators, and many of the journalists, would -- would say it's true, for sure. And immediately, that would 100 percent be the reaction. But once it was discovered, it would be false. I think many of them would still kind of stick at this time.
GLENN: I think they would stick to it, and say, that's the way he would have acted.
STU: Or they'll say, the media -- what you're hearing. Who knows? They're probably trying to cover for Trump. Whatever.
Some way to make it seem like, yeah. Keep your mind open. Maybe it is true.
GLENN: This is why the truth matters in all of our life.
First of all, who is somebody you look up to? Try imagine a person. Something that you think, that's a person I can trust.
How many people can you come up with?
Okay. That's a problem. How many heroes do you have from the past, that you go, I'm comfortable with the history.
I understand it. I understand the good side, the bad side.
Nobody can take that apart on me.
I'm that confident I know who this person is.
You are probably that person to somebody else. Whether that's your kid. Your wife. Your husband.
A friend. You are probably that person.
And you just thought of how many people you can trust. When that person goes down, you have great grave, grave damage.
Grave damage. Because you've taken a little bit of hope in people away. Please, please, clean up your life. Tell the truth.
Just tell the truth all times. Tell the truth. I've said to you for years. People will not know what the truth is.
Well, people. I was wrong. I'm right that people don't know what the truth is. What I missed was, the whole society is telling you the truth doesn't matter. And it does matter.
Let me give you an example. The Biden administration secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine.
Just today. President Joe Biden's administration reportedly secretly worried about corruption in Ukraine. Despite putting on a brave face for the public, over the situation.
Politico obtained a confidential US strategy document, in which US officials discussing objectives they have for helping Ukraine, rooted out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. The document warns that corruption in the country, could cause nations to pull their support from the country, as it battles the Russian military.
The report said, the administration wants to press Ukraine to cut graft, not least because US dollars are at stake.
The administration is reportedly concerned about being too loud about pressuring Ukraine to tackle its corruption.
Because they are worried that Republicans will use the issue to cut back spending. Use the issue? They would use the issue.
No. No.
The president should be concerned about your hard-earned money.
Everything -- everything that you have made, your entire life, or will make your entire life.
Every penny that you have put into Social Security and your taxes.
Every penny will not make a dent in one day of funding. To the Ukrainian people.
You've worked your whole life for that.
And they're just going to blow it?
How dare you. How dare you do that.
Are you more concerned about you, your special interests -- and I say this to Republicans and Democrats alike.
Are you worried more about you, your special interest, or what you think is important?
When your constituents say, no.
And if you're going to do it, can you at least do it responsibly.
Don't you have, even if you say, you know what, I'm sorry.
This is a representative republic.
So I am your representative.
I happen to -- you hired me to make the decisions for you.
And be informed.
And reflect you.
But you're wrong on this.
We have to do this.
Even if you believe that, don't they then have a responsibility to you, to do it effectively. And without corruption?
No. They don't take that seriously. What they take seriously, is the way it can politically backfire on them.
That's grotesque. Absolutely grotesque.
So now, we know that Joe Biden said, he went and fixed corruption over there. That he finally got the bad guy out.
When we've been saying, this is the most corrupt place ever.
He is so concerned about corruption, that during a war, when the Ukrainians are dying, he's worried that their politicians are so corrupt, they'll take the money, that should go to help them fight to keep their own country.
They'll take it, and waste it. They'll take it, and they'll keep it for themselves.
Wow. And you would send your son over there to do business, with the guy you know is one of the most ruthless oligarchs over there?
If my son was over there, first of all, he wouldn't be. But if my son was over there, and I knew he was with an oligarch who literally beheads people.
I would say son, no.
We don't work for him. You can take a job someplace -- do not work with that man.
That's the least I would say to him.
See, here's the thing. They say they care about democracy.
They don't. They care about controlling the votes.
That's nobody faces the machines. Nobody looked into the last election.
Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.
Nobody will actually pass anything, even though, we all, all of us, all of us, without getting political, about the last election. Or the next election. Just the election process. Do you want only people who are qualified to vote legally, be able to access the vote easily?
Do you want every legitimate vote counted, in a trustworthy situation?
I can't imagine that there is a -- a liberal, or a conservative, an independent, that would say, no to that.
You know who does?
Politicians who know how to work the system for themselves.
See, a democracy, a democracy is one man, one vote.
We don't have that. We don't have that.
Because the system is corrupt. But our Founders were smart enough to know, that it also doesn't work.
Because when the politician figures out, they can just give people money.
And that will make them vote for them. Then that politician is forever powerful. That's why we're supposed to have a representative government. A republic. So people can represent us, and say, no. You're being used over here. No. I'm sorry. That politician, no matter how much he gives you, should be stopped. We have such an important job to do. And this is not the time for sunshine patriots. This is the time, you were born for it. I hate to point it out. You were born for it. You're ready for it. If you're not, you should prepare. If you know our history, you know our Constitution, then have you thought about running for a position? I know that sucks. But have you thought about, there's so many racists now. That, Stu, just give me the Senate list, of the people that we have to have people running against.
STU: I mean, a couple names would be Roger Whittaker in Mississippi.
And Kevin Cramer in North Dakota. Both with very mediocre conservative voting records.
Both for election 2024.
There's no reason these people should not be primary.
You're going to win the state, if you win the primary. It's one of those type of situations. You don't have to worry about losing it. It's not like Maine.
Going against Susan Collins. Your primary winner might lose general. You're not going to lose either of those elections. Mitt Romney was the -- the number one target on this list. Luckily, he's retiring.
GLENN: Well, there would be a son of somebody, if it doesn't get in. It would be a son that runs.
STU: Please, you keep saying that. Please, stop saying that.
GLENN: I'm telling you, I think that's what will happen.
Anyway, you need to get involved. You need to stand up. And you need to say, at it people, retain. In Washington.
Who did this 45-day extension, with the CR.
So what are you doing today?
What are you doing today?
Bitching about it?
What is Kevin McCarthy doing today?
Is he actually moving forward on any of these things, where we're supposed to have passed, in 45 days?
If not, why the hell not?
