If you want to know who Kamala Harris and Tim Walz really are, look at who they’ve picked to work in their campaign and administrations. Glenn and Stu review Team Harris-Walz’ pick for Climate Engagement Director, Camila Thorndike, who has called oil and gas WORKERS dangerous for the environment. So, why did she join the Harris campaign, which is now saying it WON’T ban fracking? If that wasn’t disturbing enough, Glenn and Stu introduce you to a man who’s helping shape Minnesota’s schools under Tim Walz. The propaganda machine insists that Critical Race Theory is harmless and barely used in our schools. But you have to hear what this appointee said about “deconstructing” the U.S. for yourselves. While the government lies to you, Glenn brings on Justin Haskins, the co-author of his new book, "Propaganda Wars," to explain how to cut through the propaganda and find the truth.

GLENN: We were talking last hour about the new appointee for Harris' campaign. She's a global warming extremist. That says, if you are in the oil and gas business, at all, you're a terrorist. You're an eco-terrorist.
She is somebody who is so extreme, on global warming. She doesn't like capitalism. She doesn't like oil and gas or anything like that.
So why would she join the Kamala Harris campaign, leave Bernie Sanders' legislation team, and go and be the spokesperson on economic -- or I'm sorry. On ecological issues.
Why would she join Kamala Harris? Because an extremist would say, she's changing everything she's doing.
She's saying, she's not even going to go after fracking anymore. That she's going to approve new oil leases.
STU: She's opposed to the green new deal.
GLENN: Right. She's a traitor to everything I believe.
That's what she should say. But she didn't. She joined on.
And then said, no. Kamala has really changed her mind. She's -- she's not going to do any of those things. Okay?
You have to ask why. Why?
So we went into that yesterday. Now, let me -- or earlier today. Let me go into the education czar. What's the title.
STU: Yeah. It's he actually is one of the people helping implement the framework, or curriculum.
For the new ethnic studies standards. In the state of Minnesota.
GLENN: Okay. Remember, you were told by the propaganda machine, that CRT is nothing. First of all, it's not anything. It doesn't even happen. It doesn't exist. We're not even doing that.
STU: Just a bunch of academics talking. We got to that phase.
GLENN: We got to, okay. It's in there. But it doesn't mean what you think it means. It's totally harmless.
Now, we don't even talk about it anymore.
Remember, this came in under Biden Harris.
This came into our schools.
They didn't dare release it, under Donald Trump.
But they put it into our schools, after the election.
Now, what does it mean?
Well, it certainly doesn't mean an end to the United States of America.
That's what Tim Walz would say. Then if that's true, why would he hire this guy?
STU: And it's Brian Lazinski.
He is an associate professor of Urban and Multicultural Education in St. Paul.
He was helping, with not just the ethnic studies, but also the social studies standards. Citizenship and government. Economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies. This comes from Stanley Kurtz, by the way.
He did a great job reporting on that.
GLENN: Amazing.
STU: Let me give you his thoughts now on CRT. And what its role is in the schools. But also, what it actually means. And what he believes about it.
VOICE: And we're also sometimes lying on ourselves, when people say, like, oh, we can.
We use Critical Race Theory in school.
We don't use Critical Race Theory in school.
The first tenant of Critical Race Theory is that the United States, as constructed, is irreversibly racist.
STU: Hmm.
VOICE: So if the nation state as constructed is irreversibly racist, then it must be done with. It must be overthrown, right?
And so we can't be like, oh, no. Critical Race Theory is about telling our stories. It's not about that. It's about overthrow.
It's insurgent. And we need to be, I think more honest about that.
And it's funny that they -- they don't understand Critical Race Theory.
But they actually tell some truth, when they're like, yeah. It's antistate.
You can't be a critical race thirsty. And be pro-US.
STU: Hmm.
GLENN: Okay. It's an antistate theory.
That says that the United States needs to be deconstructed period. Right?
That's -- and so I think -- I think it's an interesting argument there.
And that's why I'm a critical race thirsty.
STU: Oh. that's why he's a Critical Race Theorist.
Because the overthrow of the government, and the insurgency and all.
Now, you might say, if you had a picture taken with you at a party with this man, you know, you will deny that.
You will --
GLENN: You would say, I didn't have any idea who that guy was.
STU: I had no idea who that guy was. Think about the prospect of not only associating yourself with him. But also promoting him to design the curriculum for the students of Minnesota.
This guy is out there.
He's a teacher. He's a football coach.
A hunter. He's America's dad.
What you just heard is who Tim Walz actually is.
What he's telling you is that he's America's dad, but that's who he really is. That's what he wants.
His education department chose that guy, to design your kid's classes.
GLENN: So the first thing to avoid propaganda, is to constantly ask why. And be willing to accept the truth.
So there are so many Democrats right now, that won't accept that, why?
Because they'll hear it from me. Or they'll hear it from Fox News.
So it's a convenient way just to dismiss it.
But there's the audio of the guy, Tim Walz, put in charge of the history and critical race curriculum, in Minnesota schools.
JUSTIN: Right. Yeah. I think what's so important about propaganda wars is we want to equip people with the ability to figure out these things on their own, all right? We don't want people to rely just on shows like this. We need people to become trusted sources of information in their own lives. Teach people how to be citizen journalists. This is what we desperately need. And what you find, when you go to the original sources over and over and over again, what we discovered and what we outline in this book, is that there is a propaganda industrial complex, that it goes well beyond just what's in the media. That there is a vast network of left-wing groups. And big money organizations.
And others. Many of whom, people listening to these shows.
As active listeners as they may be. Have never heard of these organizations. Now, you brought up the education thing. This is really interesting.
So in the first chapter of the book, where we just talk about how screwed up everything is, it's called welcome to the clown world.
We talk about this nonprofit organization called education trust west.
That's the name of it. Education trust west.
They are one of these people that believe that there's all this racism, inherently in mathematics. They believe that public education has a responsibility to inject social justice ideology, into every subject, including mathematics.
They said, and this is a direct quote. That finding -- not this first part of it is not the correct quote. But finding the correct answer to a math problem, is, quote, white supremacy culture.
Unquote. Now, they've been distributing these workbooks all over the company.
In California. In Georgia. In Ohio. Are those far left-wing states. California is. But not Georgia and Ohio.
These things are everywhere. Now, we get into who these major players are. Not just these organizations. But who is funding them.
Where do we get their money? Because they're not selling their money to the public. Well, they just so happen to get their money from a little organization.
Just a tiny, little one. Most people have never heard of. Call the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So they're pumping all of this money into these textbooks that are teaching kids at the local level, that racism is everywhere.
You're a white supremacist, if you're trying to get people to find the right answer.
This is everywhere. So what you have to do, and what we try to show people in this book, is that you have to find the sources of this misinformation.
It's not just enough to say, well, that's crazy. That's the kind of thing that happens in Portland. Well, yeah.
That does happen in Portland. But it's also happening in Portland. It's also happening in Georgia.
And it's because these organizations exist everywhere. The network is vast.
George Soros and people like that are pouring hundreds of millions and billions of dollars worldwide, into these kinds of efforts.
And if you don't know who they are. You don't know what to look out for.
GLENN: So one of the biggest questions I have gotten asked over the years, and I hear it asked very seldom now. And I wonder why.
Used to be, why do these people do this? Why would Bill and Melinda Gates do this?
Why would they teach that math is racist? Because you have to now start to think, unlike Americans used to think.
Americans used to think. Well, we all want what is best.
You now have to understand what the elites think is best. Is best for them. Not for you.
They are teaching our children, to be slaves.
They are teaching them not to ask questions. Let me ask you: If you believe that math is racist, therefore I don't really have to do it. It's racist to ask me to do it. It's racist for me to try to figure it out on my own.
How do those people build bridges? How do those people even -- even measure a wall to make a house?
How do you do the basic stuff that you have to do? If you can't do math.
You -- Elon Musk what he did, it already kind of looks like magic to me.
But I know it's all based in science.
But if I find out that science and mathematics is racist, I can't do what Elon Musk -- I can't even explain, what Elon Musk is doing. It does become magic.
These people are training a whole continent. In fact, the whole world. The Western world, to be slaves.
You cannot think for yourself. Why would they do that? Because they have control.
They want the money. They want the power.
And they actually believe and so do I, in many ways, that if they control AI. They win.
Once they control AI, and Putin has said this. Whoever gets it first. Controls the world.
They're putting all of their eggs in that basket. And we unfortunately, have been saying to ourselves, you know what, AI. Why even learn that?
AI will teach you. You can just go online and just say, hey. How do I build a bridge? And it will show you.
So why do I even have to learn math? Why do I have to learn to read, when I can just say, AI. What does this say?
What is that about? Can you write a paper on that for me?
We're being taught to rely, not on technology. On those who control the technology.
