Is SAVING Ukraine worth CRIPPLING the West's economy?

There’s something that MUST be said: America has a price we’re not willing to pay in return for Ukraine’s freedom. We’re not willing to risk U.S. troops or to start a nuclear war. It doesn’t mean we’re not compassionate, Glenn explains…we’re rationally compassionate. And now there’s another huge, potential consequence at play that NO ONE else is talking about: The end of the West's economy. Glenn explains why we must not destroy America — and, specifically, U.S. energy — in the process of stopping Putin and Russia. So, until our current leaders start opening up our own oil reserves, we might be able to help Ukraine. But we cannot save them.

STU: So you went through a lot of the detail, of what you see coming here, in the last segment.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But take out the detail for a second. To boil your theory down here. Oil is going to spike to levels that are incredibly damaging to our economy.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: And because of that, we are going to continue to buy Russian oil. Maybe try to buy Iranian oil.

GLENN: We're negotiating with them, right freaking now. The Iranians.

PAT: That's insane.

GLENN: And, by the way, it's not damaging our economy. It is the likely depression that we will go into, and possibly the end of the West. Because of economic catastrophe. That is coming our way.

STU: But other than that.

GLENN: But other than that. So listen, I know everybody is -- I feel the same way. You know me. This audience, at least knows me.

You know. I mean, I see the suffering in Ukraine. And the Ukrainian eyes. I see the decency of those people. I see the willingness to be free. Nobody is standing up for freedom anymore.

We -- we're the last hope of the world!

Okay?
I don't want those people to suffer, and I don't want Putin to win. You cannot teach him that lesson.

But let's have the real conversation here. The one that no one is having. We have already set a price on helping the Ukrainian people.

Have we not? For instance --

PAT: Yes. We're not willing to spend American lives.

GLENN: Correct. Are you willing to go in -- now, ask yourself this question?

Are you willing to go in with troops, full force for the Ukrainian people?

PAT: No. Nope.

STU: Yeah. We've said no to that. We've even said no to a no-fly zone.

PAT: I don't know that any Americans want to do that. I haven't heard any Americans advocating for that.

GLENN: All right. So we've already established what we are. We're just haggling on price. Okay? That's the truth.

PAT: That is the truth.

GLENN: We are haggling on price. And we say American blood. And, quite honestly, treasure and security. Because of all the risks on that. We've already said no.

PAT: We've just done it too much. As it does.

STU: That's not just American lives. And we don't want to get into a war with Russia. That's not just American lives.

PAT: You're talking Armageddon.

STU: That's Armageddon. That's end of the world type stuff.

GLENN: So, again, if you believe any of that. Or for your own reason. Whatever your reason is. If you're saying, no, I'm not willing to send troops over there. You've had -- you've said, there's a price to that freedom. Okay?

PAT: Right. Yeah.

GLENN: So that makes you not compassionate. If you believe that, that makes you already, in the eyes of some.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Me too.
Not compassionate. How can you say that, when the suffering is going on?

So that takes that argument off the table. Take that emotional argument off the table. You mean you're not willing to do everything to save these people?

No. Clearly as a country, we're not. Because we won't send our own troops in to help them. Okay?

So enough of the bullcrap of the emotional side. Now, let me ask you. We've already had one price established. You are not willing to send in troops. U.S. troops. Into Ukraine.

That's price number one.

Here's the other option, that we are now going down, without having the conversation.
Are you willing to -- within a year, face a depression, a depression.

And possibly, the complete destruction of the western economy.

Food crisis, like we haven't seen since the Dust Bowl.
Are you willing to pay that price? Possibly, you lose your job. You lose your money.

And your family is struggling for food.

And energy prices, that make it so you cannot really afford any gas. Because it's $8 a gallon. And I'm not talking about California. I'm talking about everywhere.

Are you willing to pay that price? For the people of Ukraine?

I know this sounds horrible. But it has to be said.

Are you willing to go through that?

PAT: No.

STU: Well, we're --

PAT: But what brings that on?

GLENN: Hang on just answer the question here.

PAT: Yeah. No. No.

STU: We -- you know, we are obviously have to prioritize our own people. Right?

GLENN: Correct.

STU: And so we do not have -- we're not part of NATO. They're not part of NATO. They don't have an agreement to defend them. We can help they believe defend themselves. That's what I think their role is here. If there is one.

GLENN: If you're conservative, the answer is very easy for you. Because you believe in the lifeboat theory.

You -- it was horrible. But you had to -- if you were the Titanic, and you were in a lifeboat, now, this isn't the same necessarily, if there were three people in the lifeboat.

But if you were in a lifeboat, and it was -- and it was filled, you can't go back and get more people. No matter -- you're listening.

There are screams. And it is horrible. And everyone will drown. That's why we believe in border security.

We can't help the rest of the world, if we drown. Because everybody is coming here.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Okay. So it sounds like it's not compassionate. But it is rational compassion. Okay?

You can't kill yourself, trying to help somebody else.

STU: And it's not as if we're not doing anything here. We're doing a lot.

GLENN: Okay. Here's what brings this on, Pat.
The world revolves -- the entire -- we learned this in 2008. The world revolves around 100-dollar a barrel oil.

It can handle spikes. It can handle 120.

As long as there's an end to that. You know what I mean?
But the -- the --

PAT: As long as it comes back down to 60. Or 40.

GLENN: Yeah. So the -- so the collapse in '08. The last straw to break the camel's back. And let me ask you this question: Do you think we're stronger today, than we were in 2008?

STU: No.

GLENN: Do you? Okay.

So the straw that broke the camel's back on our economy in 2008, they say -- and I believe, would have tanked the western banks and economic system entirely.
That price, was $140 a barrel.

Sustained for how long? A few weeks? A couple weeks

PAT: Yeah. Not very long.

STU: A couple weeks, yeah.

GLENN: We -- by cutting off oil, right now. And remember, we're all saying, we have to really hit them.

We're already at $120 a barrel. Okay?

Already at $120 a barrel.

And we are currently negotiating with Iran, to supply the world with the 10 percent of oil, the oil needs.

Let me ask you this question: Who is more dangerous to the American homeland. The American people. The American way of life. Vladimir Putin, or Iran?


STU: I think you believe it's Iran.

GLENN: A. Let me rephrase it. A fully financed Aruba.

STU: Over a long period of time, I think you would -- you may turn the tables to Iran. But with 13,000 nuclear weapons, I still think Vladimir Putin is a bigger risk.

GLENN: I agree. I agree. A bigger risk. But he is -- he has not been hell-bent on wiping out the American way of life. We have had him in a cage.

Now, lately -- don't know.

STU: And this is the question. Have you turned over a new leaf?

GLENN: Correct.

PAT: That's what everybody is saying. This is not the Putin of five years ago. You keep hearing that.

GLENN: Okay. So let's say you cut off all their oil.

We collapse.

And maybe Russia collapses.

But we don't take Putin out. It's just a disaster. Nobody has -- nobody has any money.

We've collapsed the banking system. You still have Putin in Russia. And you have a richer ayatollah in Iran. And you have the western world, begging them for oil.

This is not a good scenario.

We haven't made anything better by that, okay?

STU: No.

GLENN: We just have to have the discussion here. Because everybody is pushing for crazy things.
They're pushing for let's do no-fly zone. Are you out of your mind?

That could end in nuclear war.

To save the Iranian people. Are you willing to be in a war where one nuclear missile is launched against the United States?

STU: Oh, God no. Nuclear missiles. No.

GLENN: Yes. No.

GLENN: So are you willing to fight for them, and do a no-fly zone?

If one missile is launched to Poland. No. It doesn't matter. Right?

One missile launched to -- to Russia. In Moscow. No.

The answer is no. We don't want nuclear war.

Let's start looking at the actual consequences. And stop looking at it, like fat Americans, who are like, we control the world. We have all the power. We don't anymore. That has changed. It can change. I will listen now. Now that I'm looking at what's happening, and I've figured out that missing piece, remember I'm like, wait a minute.

Something is wrong.

What's wrong is, it's a trap. You are dealing with Marxist revolutionaries, that are running this country, right now.

They want to collapse it, for their own Marxist reasons.

But you also have The Great Reset, that wants a collapse so they can reset, have it collapse, right into their arms.
Okay?

You have forces inside the house. Wanting this collapse.

So are we going to go along with it? The only way -- the only thing we should be saying is, open up the oil fields and the gas lines here in America.

PAT: Absolutely.

GLENN: You cannot do these kinds of sanctions, and sheave yourself at the same time. We are empowering -- we are empowering China.

Who is the winner in this?

China. China.

You look at -- who we're empowering in the Middle East.

Iran.

And why?

Because of some F-ing idea, that we're going to get off all petroleum, to help heal the planet.
There will be nothing left of the American and the western society.
Unless you open up not the strategic reserves. That's the craziest thing I've heard. You're on the brink of World War III. And you want to take our military, strategic oil reserves, and just pass it out, so we can go to the movies.

PAT: So we can have an extra two days.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

PAT: It looks like two days.

STU: I mean, it's not even a good idea, when normal times are going on. But when you're in a situation, where war is already breaking out.

And we have allies, one border away, from where missiles are flying. That's an insane idea.

GLENN: So I want the Ukrainian people to know, I am with you. I am with you.

I would collapse Russia, and Iran. So fast, with oil. If we weren't killing ourself.

But I'm sorry, Ukraine. Until the people in this country stand up and absolutely at the gates of the White House, demand that we open up our own reserves. We cannot help you.

We cannot help you.

STU: What does that mean, you can't help? What do you mean, we're going to do nothing? We're already doing stuff.

GLENN: We're on the road to destruction.

STU: But the issue with help in Ukraine. You're right. Compassion is compassion. And I love compassion.

GLENN: You can't shut down all of Russia's oil. I know. It drives me crazy.

But listen. I was for shutting down Russia's oil.

I had been for it. But now, when I see, the missing piece. Something is wrong. Something is wrong.

Here's what's wrong. It's a trap!

That's what's wrong. We cannot do that. We can supply them with arms. We can supply them with food. We can send over doctors. Whatever they need, we can do that.
But we cannot collapse ourself, and put ourselves in their position.

Ready for God knows who. Iran, or China.

Just to take it all.
No!

No!

This government is not on the right side. And when I say that, I don't mean the Iranian -- Ukrainian people. What I mean, is that they're on the wrong side of the American people.

Until they secure us first, no.

No.

The 5 most important things to WATCH FOR on Election Day 2024

The Daily Caller recently highlighted "5 key bellwethers to watch on Election Day" 2024: the early results in Pennsylvania, the margins in Virginia, how Muslims in Michigan vote, how suburban women vote, and how Trump does in Iowa. Glenn and Stu discuss just how close this election may be, despite the momentum for Trump. Plus, Glenn and Stu discuss the odds that this election will be a blowout and whether Stu's electoral map prediction will be as accurate as it was in 2020.

GLENN: It is Election Day. If you haven't voted, if somebody in your family hasn't voted, get them out to vote.

As long as they're -- you know, they've done their homework. There's always a moron in there.

No. Don't. You know what, you don't -- you shouldn't vote.

Now, there's -- according to the Daily Caller, five key bellwethers to watch on Election Day. I want to go over them with Stu.

Because Stu is the guy who watches all these numbers.

And yesterday, you predicted a Trump victory.


STU: Yeah. Very hesitant Trump victory.

I'm very undecided.

GLENN: You didn't do that in 2020.

STU: No. In fact, 2020 got the electoral count exactly right. 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden. And everyone hates you, when you say that.

GLENN: I know. I know.

STU: But, you know, I -- that's what I thought was going to happen.

It wound up coming true. But this time, I'm not nearly as sure. I don't have a really strong opinion. I got to the -- we did our show last night on Stu Does America. Our final predictions.

And it got to those swing states. And, you know, a couple of them I have a vibe on.

You know, a couple of them, I'm kind of just guessing. I hate to say it that way. But it's kind of where you are.

You're taking your vibes. You're kind of encapsulating 18 months of campaigning into a feeling. And I think a lot of people will do that today. I would not bet money on who will win.

She can win this election. But, also, there's a good chance that one of these two candidates, you know, sweeps all seven of these swing states, and winds up with what feels like an easy victory.

It won't be. You know, I don't think it will be an easy victory.

If you start seeing someone taking out states, those fringe swing states. You know, New Hampshire, Virginia for Trump.

You know, going the other way.

Texas for Kamala. Florida, for Kamala. Iowa for Kamala. If that stuff starts happening. That's a blowout.

These type of swing states. If they all go to one of the two candidates. I don't think it will be much of a blowout.

I am very, very undecided on it.

My final count was 291 electoral votes for Trump.

As I was putting it together, as a final prediction for the show. I reversed myself on two or three states, multiple times.

And that is not -- when you're doing that. You know.

I've been watching this obsessively for 18 months.

And on -- an hour before I go to the air, I am reversing states nap tells you that we don't know. Because I don't know.

GLENN: So here are the things.

And I would like to hear your point of view on this.

Are these the things you should watch for: Early returns for Pennsylvania. It is probably one of the most important states, likely a tipping point. You lose this one.

I mean, you could gain --

STU: You could do it. But it's hard. Especially for Trump.

Kamala needs it, you would think.

If Trump can get it, he's probably winning this election.

GLENN: Right. This is why Kamala was out knocking doors last night. Quote, unquote.

Knocking doors. Somebody else was knocking the door. Kamala supporter.

STU: Oh, the part where, hey, Kamala. Kamala goes -- they won't to film you coming out. We go back in, and I can knock on the door again?

The fact that that sort of stuff is happening. What a perfect last-minute encapsulation of the Kamala Harris campaign.

GLENN: Yeah. Just fake. All of it fake. So Pennsylvania.

80,000 votes in Pennsylvania, decided 2020. 90,000 Amish in Pennsylvania. Also, 80,000 truckers in Pennsylvania, that didn't really turn out last time because a lot of them were on the road.

The G.O.P. has been all over that. Make sure they have -- you know, ballots, mail-in ballots.

Also, just this weekend on the other side, the Harris campaign knocked on almost a million doors.

$807,000 doors were knocked.

In 2020, in Pennsylvania, Democrats had the advantage of more than 1.1 million mail-in ballots.
They knew, a couple of weeks before, we are going to win.

Today, the Democrats only have an advantage of 400,000. That's a 700,000-vote swing. That they're down -- and that is good, if people show up today, to vote.

Virginia is also another one. Harris is probably another one that will win Virginia.

If Donald Trump picks up Virginia, that's a big deal. If he loses Virginia, under five points, that's also a big deal.

STU: Yeah. If he can keep it within five points, I think he's probably going to win the election.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. And we should bank that pretty early, shouldn't we?

STU: Yeah. Polls close relatively early. It's not one of those states that takes a month to count. Typically.

Again, Florida is the gold standard, which is shocking. They actually fixed their system. Theater ones that will give you the first result.

Florida is also not the best bellwether. We've seen this before. In 2022, was a big situation, if you remember correctly.

Because DeSantis won by so much. That everyone was like, oh, my gosh.

This is a Republican wave election. Because they were one of the first results.

And it did not wind up panning out in other states. Sometimes Florida is a little bit different. And since they're the first kind of like big state, we hear about --

GLENN: Yeah.

If it goes poorly, Florida, for Donald Trump, it will be a bad night.

STU: Well, the polling is interesting there, Glenn.

GLENN: I know.

STU: Because we kind of thought now, that because of what DeSantis has done in Florida, that this is just a bright red state.

Look, Rick Scott is up by three points in Florida in a lot of these polls.

Donald Trump is up by four or five points in some polls in Florida.

I think he is going to win. But it will be a heck of a lot closer than DeSantis when he won by, what was it? Nineteen.

GLENN: Yeah. I have to tell you, the other thing that is disturbing.

The Cruz campaign called us to get him on the air today.

They are concerned about Texas. And you should be concerned about Texas.

It is close. It is very close.

They have spent millions and millions and millions of dollars. And Ted Cruz has done it all on his supporters and himself.

The -- they've been outspent like crazy, because of Mitch McConnell.


STU: Yeah. And George Soros.

GLENN: And George Soros. Yes.

STU: McConnell not giving money to Cruz is a factor.

But Democrats are targeting this with hundreds of millions of dollars.

GLENN: So another thing to watch for is the Muslims in Michigan.

If they don't show up. Or they're voting third person. Or they're not voting for Trump, which I find that hard to believe. But you had the mayor of the biggest Muslim community in Michigan come out and endorse. Along with a lot of the imams, endorse Donald Trump. I find it hard to believe.

STU: Yeah. If Trump will be like, hey, we will win this election.

If we get the Muslim vote, I think he's -- you know, probably -- that's not the position you want to be in.

GLENN: No. But --

STU: He'll take them. He'll take 10 percent. Take it.

STU: Yeah. For sure. For sure.

GLENN: The pitch to suburban women.

Now, this goes down to Iowa.

I think if he loses Iowa, it's -- it's going -- it could be a rough night.

He's not counted out.

STU: He's not mathematically eliminated.

But if he loses Iowa, there's no way he's winning this election.

GLENN: You don't think so?

STU: I don't think so. That doesn't mean mathematically he can't win. He definitely theoretically could win. In an environment where they lose the state, again, this makes no sense to me.

Kim Reynolds won that state by 19 points, two years ago, in a bad year for Republicans. We've seen increases all over the place, in Republican registration.

That's not -- I'm -- as I mentioned to you off the air. I'm super skeptical of trying to take anything out of early vote.

Particularly this year. When you're comparing early vote to the COVID year, God only knows what you're getting.

I'm not surprised at all, that Democrat's early vote numbers were down. They were all terrified. They wouldn't go outdoors at the time that this election was taking place.

GLENN: I know. But you are -- people are motivated, or not.

STU: I agree.

GLENN: And I don't think -- I think where the hidden number is, in these polls, is the lack of motivation for Harris.

People will talk a good game.

I'm for Harris.

STU: And some even show her enthusiasm higher than Trump's, which doesn't make any sense to me.

GLENN: No way.

STU: That's even shown in some polls.

GLENN: No way. No way.

STU: Look, we all that know it's not Kamala enthusiasm.

The correct way to look at it is anti-Trump enthusiasm.

That sort of does connect with me.

I do sort of see Democrats feel that way.

Not that I do. But I'm saying, as far as they do.

We know they hate him.

We got it. They're really wanting to keep Hitler out of office. We've got it.

GLENN: They're hypnotized.

STU: When comes to early voting, though. The numbers coming up for Republicans.

I think it can be partially explained by the fact that Trump discouraged the early vote in 2020, and now he's encouraging it. So I'm not surprised to see those numbers come up.

And I'm not surprised to see them come down for Democrats. Because in 2020, there was COVID. And they were all afraid to go to restaurants, let alone, go out to vote.

So I'm not at all surprised by that. I'm not saying that that means bad things.

Obviously, I predicted Trump to win.

PAT: But here's what the Republicans are counting on.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: In the polls for people who are planning on voting today, he is up by 16 points.

If that would hold, it -- it would be hard for the Democrats to pull this off.

You disagree with that?

STU: You may be right. Just, I don't have a spreadsheet out to make a prediction out like that.

I have not -- I don't know.

It's possible, you're right.

I don't know. There's so many factors that go into this. And the other part of it, that we don't know at all.

From early voting.

One important thing. We have no idea, who any independents voted for.

We have no idea who anyone voted for.

But we assume the Republicans vote for the Republicans and Democrats vote for Democrats.

Independents, we have no indication, whatsoever.

Right? We have no indication from early vote what independents did. So in an election that is this close, kind of an important nugget of information.

GLENN: I know. I know.

You're basing it all on numbers, facts, and figures. I'm basing it all on gut.

And we've lost the ability to predict the American people, long ago!

But, you know, I'll explain it at the top of next hour. Why I feel as strong as I do.

With the one caveat. I don't know if I can predict the American people anymore.

I don't know.

I mean, our education system has turned out morons and idiots. That don't even know what it means, to be a republic, versus a democracy.

So nobody knows our institutions.

Nobody knows why this was founded this way.

So maybe they don't get it.

2024 Election: Will the Amish FLIP Pennsylvania for Trump?
RADIO

2024 Election: Will the Amish FLIP Pennsylvania for Trump?

It’s Election Day 2024 and a lot of signs are pointing towards a Trump win. One of the biggest is in Pennsylvania. Glenn reviews how Trump’s “Unity Party” has gathered all kinds of strange bedfellows, including the Amish, the Orthodox, and the hippies in Pennsylvania. As the Amish especially go out and vote in droves, will this be enough to flip Pennsylvania red? Glenn explains why he’s feeling optimistic …

GLENN: All righty. Welcome to the program.

Well, I have a lot of stuff to go over. In fact, a lot of -- a lot of good news to share with you today. But first, let me -- let me just talk to you about this weird time that we're living in.

Where we have the Amish, the orthodox, Jews.

And the hippies. All coming together.

I don't think in my lifetime, I've seen a wider, bigger tent, for a presidential candidate than this.

Have you?

The Amish, the Orthodox Jew. And the hippies.

It's like a joke. They all walk into the voting booth. The Trump coalition has created the most interesting bedfellows.

Honestly, this is the seed, to bring us back together. If this campaign can bring these people together, including RFK Jr. His running mate. Tulsi Gabbard.

Elon Musk. This is an exciting time, to live in America.

Standing in one line together, there's a linen-pant-wearing, anti-Big Pharma, RFK-loving hippie type. An orthodox rabbi. An Amish man who traveled there in a buggy with a horse!

This may be the only time in history, that I think these groups have come together before, seriously.

New poll from Nishma Research showed 93 percent of ultra orthodox voters are now voting for Trump.

Have you seen the videos that came out with the -- with the ultra orthodox going out and doing like car parade?

And, I mean, it's -- it is bizarre.

STU: I mean, to your point, you never thought you would see the Amish, and the world's greatest tech mogul, voting for the same candidate.

Right? It really is bizarre.

GLENN: It's crazy. And then you have the crunchy type, wearing a make America healthy again hat. With the, you know, oil diffuser bracelet that she had to wear. It is nuts!

STU: I saw an article the other day. I can't remember who it was featuring.

They were calling it the crunchy conservative vote. Which is not something I've ever heard before.

GLENN: I think I'm actually --

STU: Oh, you're totally there.

You are so crunchy these days. This is a man, when I first started.

Back in the day. Back in the day, when I first started. As an intern for the Glenn Beck, you know, morning show.

My main job was going directly to Dunkin' Donuts to get them some sort of egg, cheese, bacon thing.

On like a doughnut. We don't even make that, sir. You will!

Glenn demands it!

And now you're a crunchy conservative. How have the mighty fallen.

GLENN: Yeah. I would have drank that weed killer with you. I really would have. I would have.

So Trump lost Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes. How many Amish people are there in Pennsylvania?

90. 90,000.

And they are impressive. In Pennsylvania's 11th district, 2,000 Amish people just registered to vote.

And they're coming out for Trump.

If you're like, I don't know.

It's raining. I don't know if I can go stand in line. These people hitched up their horse, after feeding their horse and scooping their poop out of the stall. Hooked them up to a buggy. And then went out on the open road, with crazy drivers in the morning.

To vote! I don't know. I think we can do it. I think we can.

I think we have the technology. But maybe that's just me. Listen to this. Nick Johnson on YouTube.

He just interviewed an Amish man. Listen why they're turning out to vote.

VOICE: The Amish community is more energized. There's more people going to be out voting.

More Amish people out voting, most certainly. I can say that -- a big part of Pennsylvania and the Amish business.

Amish community is no longer farming community.

Where most of the business folk. We understand the importance of having a sound economy.

But, you know, the past four years, you know, I think most people can say, it looked like they were making more money.

And at the end of the day, they were making less.

GLENN: These guys, I mean, you know, they're paying attention. They're paying attention.

STU: It's incredible that the entire country went through what the Amish have went through. It's all hit us the same way. That's incredible.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

So no matter what anybody says, this MAGA movement, is very, very diverse.

It's very diverse.

I'm hoping, that the independents, have been being picked up.

Because, I mean, that's what this thing is. It's no longer. They're just clinging to their God and their guns.

It's not that.

It really. Have you seen the Trump ads lately?

The Trump ads are all about. Instead of just saying, make America great again.

It's, we don't have to live this way.

We are a great nation. A great people. That can rebuild!

But the choices right now, are we going to rebuild? Or are we just going to turn the lights out?

That's the choice! Today is the day, that I believe we prove Thomas Jefferson right.

He said, trust the American people. Now, the left does not trust the American people. I mean, you can't even have -- you can't raise a squirrel from birth, without the government coming in, kicking down your door with guns. And beheading the squirrel.

I mean, that's nuts, gang. That's nuts.

I know. The squirrel joke.

STU: The squirrel joke.

GLENN: Okay. That's crazy.

STU: It is!

GLENN: So trust the American people. One side does not trust the American people. That's why they lie to you, all the time. Because they don't think that you can handle their truth. They don't think that you will agree, with what they believe, because they're the elite. You're the unwashed. Uneducated.

Thomas Jefferson said, the opposite.

Trust the American people. They will get it wrong from time to time.

Even at great measure, they will get it wrong.

But they will eventually figure it out, and correct the mistake. I think America is on the verge of correcting the mistake.

And I don't mean the Biden/Harris administration.

I mean the mistakes of going down this road, where all we do is pick ourself apart.

Say that we're a washed up country. Only look at the scars. Only look at the bad things.

I have no problem looking at the bad things of America. I don't!

I think it's healthy to do that. I think it's healthy to leave the scars. You don't go to a plastic surgeon. That's what they did. By tearing down the statues.

They went to a plastic surgeon, and said, remove all the scars.

No!

Leave them. That scar teaches us, and future generations, don't do that.

That will leave a mark. Well, not if you erase all the marks.

I feel very optimistic today.

Roseanne Barr PREDICTS what will happen if Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election

The “Queen of the Garbage People”, Roseanne Barr, joins Glenn a day before the 2024 Election with her predictions about what will immediately happen after the new president takes office. Whether it’s Trump or Harris, she believes something big is about to change. Roseanne also comments on some of the biggest stories ahead of the election: Biden is “the gift that keeps on giving,” she declares, after he referred to Trump supporters as “garbage”. Meanwhile, NBC and Saturday Night Live may be in hot water for featuring Kamala Harris, “the change person that’s done nothing in 4 years”, allegedly without inviting Donald Trump. Roseanne also explains what turned her into a Trump supporter and how Elon Musk stands for the 2 things the Left hates.

GLENN: Birthday girl Roseanne Barr is on with us. Hey, Roseanne.

ROSEANNE: Hi, Glenn, how are you doing?

GLENN: Good. How was your birthday yesterday?

ROSEANNE: It was fantastic. It was a great birthday. I had all my kids. It was just great. All my kids and seven of my ten grandkids.

GLENN: Jeez.

ROSEANNE: And we had a lovely karaoke party. And everybody was really on it. It was great.

GLENN: That's great.

So you're the queen of the garbage people. How are you feeling?

ROSEANNE: Oh, I am. I just -- I'm feeling royal.

GLENN: Yeah. I bet you are.

I --

ROSEANNE: Yeah. It was the greatest -- you know, sometimes. I think I told you before. Sometimes I wonder if that -- well, first, I think it's Jim Carrey in a mask.

But that Biden guy, he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Isn't he?

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. It's crazy. It's crazy. Even -- even Saturday Night Live, did something on that. Well, they -- you know, they did an ad campaign for Kamala. Did you see that on Saturday, by any chance?

ROSEANNE: No. I can't stay up that late. What happened?

GLENN: Oh, they just did this advertising campaign. One of the FCC commissioners came out and said, this was a clear violation.

It was honestly, the open. It started with every lie about Donald Trump. You know, I'm trying to kill Liz Cheney. And all of this stuff.

And then Kamala Harris was actually on. Not funny. But actually on it. You know, doing a -- a very pro, hey, I'm the change person.

Which that is just bizarre. Just bizarre.

ROSEANNE: Yeah. The change person that has done nothing in four years.

GLENN: Yeah. So Roseanne, when you were on TV, we've talked about this.

When you were on TV, ABC did not want you to do, you know, didn't want you to have anybody that was a Trump supporter. And you thought, well, that's exactly what is -- would be going on, around this table.

Somebody has to do it. And when --

ROSEANNE: I had a conversation, for when they asked me to come back. And they wanted to hear my ideas, of course.

I went out to lunch with Bob Iger.

At a really lovely place there in Beverly hills.

I can't remember the name. But it was really good.

And I told him, you know, I want to bridge the divide.

Because I thought it was so -- well, the reason why I said I would do it. Is because I felt like our country was in peril. And that my voice could be useful. In reminding people, that, you know, we don't all have to think exactly alike.

Because this is a free country. Where we have liberty and freedom of speech.

And that was what I felt like was being compromised.

And I was scared. So I came back for that. And I told Bob Iger.

I intend to show a Trump hater, and a Hillary hater, in the same family.

But they still love each other, you know.

They still love each other. Because they're family.

Oh, everybody loved that.

At first, until -- until it happened. And I guess, these people their -- they're in weird positions. Like, their publicist. Their publicist -- those are real censors.

And once they got the publicists in there, and then they start -- you know, you start getting the writers.

And I wanted the writers from my original show because they knew me.

So you have a lot of them. And I got Tom Warner. He hired one of these woke -- he hired a few wokes to come on there.

And, you know, I -- I felt like, well, you've got to include them, because they're a voice in the whole apparatus too!

GLENN: Right.

ROSEANNE: But the way the woke beat everybody in the writers room down, you know, it was hard to go in there. But I still did it. Because I was like, well, this show is for the viewer. Not fort writers. You know.

GLENN: Right.

So you didn't know that it would turn out the way it did.

Is that what -- what turns you into such a Trump supporter?

ROSEANNE: Well, because I ran for president in 2012. And a lot of the ideas that I had, Trump started talking about. In 2015.

And I was -- my narcissism kicked in, as well as, my -- you know, joy that somebody else could see, we have the ability to solve every problem, that plagues our nation.

GLENN: Yeah.

ROSEANNE: And that should be done.

And so, you know, I -- I -- I loved his thinking.

I could see that it was very visionary.
And, you know, ultimately, very healing. It made an us out of everyone in our country. Rather than an us and them, like -- like, you know, the panderers are -- are making money selling, because it is us.

GLENN: Do you find it -- find it almost -- I mean, honestly, I find it hard to believe that this election is this close.

With everything that has gone wrong in this administration.

ROSEANNE: I know.

GLENN: I mean, what is it -- what is it that half the country is missing?

ROSEANNE: Well, they're voting for their jobs.

It's less than half. It's about -- I think -- I think they say 34 percent or something like that.

But they all work for the government. So when Trump talks about reorganizing the government, they think, you know, they're going to lose their job.

Because, you know, a lot of us that go down to the DMV, or any of these other government job sites, you know, you're treated like crap.

And nobody knows what the hell they're doing.

And they're just arrogant as hell. And stupid. A lot of them.

Not all of them. But, you know, that's why they vote that way. Because they're arrogant. And they're voting for what they consider their own self-interest, above the country.

But the fact is, I say, once they figure out, that the Democrats have taken their retirement and their benefits away, because they sent it to Ukraine, they're going to be really pissed.

And then they'll be Trump supporters too.

GLENN: Do you think the Elon Musk.

I mean, boy, be they're after that guy.

ROSEANNE: Oh, yeah. If Trump doesn't win, they will take down Elon number one. He's their big energy. Because he's for freedom of speech. And, of course, two things I say they hate is, one, dialogue and, two, humor.

GLENN: Uh-huh. They always have.

ROSEANNE: It is true.

GLENN: They always have.

ROSEANNE: Yeah.

GLENN: The idea that if Trump doesn't win -- you know, I think we're looking at a time, if he wins, the mainstream media, I think is over.

Because there won't be a government to save them, and bail them out. And they've lost everything. If she wins --

ROSEANNE: I know. And that's great. That is great.

Because then, the people -- and actual journalists thinking about the country.

Will replace it. And they already have. The Joe Rogan thing. I told Joe, congratulations.

You killed the legacy ahead. And that happened.

GLENN: He did. He did.

However, if she wins, I think we're doomed.

I think the --

ROSEANNE: If she wins, you know, I will reference the movie that I reference.

And everybody should watch planet of the apes.

It's a very popular movie. But it's about a militarized police force that comes and locks you up for saying the wrong things.

That's what it's basically about. It's about fascism. And if she wins, number one, or two, there will be another lockdown immediately.

There will be a lockdown. You know, because they've got to get their -- they have to get their ducks in a row for what they're doing.

Which is siphoning public money, and putting it into private pockets. That's what they're about.

That's what Marxism is. And I wish that people would understand it. And, you know, I ran as a socialist in 2012, because I lived in a socialist state. Hawaii.

And we -- us farmers, we tried to get Monsanto, the hell out of there, with their Roundup.

Well, that's what spurred me on, to see how a socialist state existed. You know, what it does.

And what it did. When I was studying about how we were going to grow organic and heirloom crops there.

Because I'm a farmer there.

GLENN: Right.

ROSEANNE: So it was about Roundup and Monsanto and everything.

So I said, wait a minute. This is a socialist state, and I gave this speech.

This is a socialist state.

So, of course, the state would be about helping the health of children.

Right?

So they did some studies on the effect of Roundup on the children of Hawaii. And so, you know -- and, you know what, there wasn't one study.

And I said that.

This state -- this state of the people has not done one study about the long range effects of the taking of this island.

And they just freaked out.

But I said, this is what it is.

When the state owns the universities and when Monsanto, becomes part of the state, and finds the universities, you're not going to get any studies about what Roundup does to your kids.

Hello. There you go right there. And it was like -- I wanted to see for myself, how things work on the left.

Because I already had my suspicions. Because to me, as a socialist, all those years.

The only thing I kept on hearing was how we had to keep killing the Jews in Israel.

That's what happened while I was a leftist.

And when I was a leftist with my parents, who were leftists. Socialists.

It never was that.

Then everybody was pro the Jewish people getting, you know, access back to their -- you know -- you know, their homeland.

And they were called the indigenous of Palestine at that time.

They had Palestinian.

All this stuff they turned around.

Because they just. Well, they just rewrite everything. Like Monsanto rewrites all the rules of science.

So that you don't actually have a control group.

Which is the entire basis of science!

GLENN: You know, it's amazing to me, how really, the conservative and liberals have switched places on almost everything.
ROSEANNE: Yeah. Totally.

GLENN: It's crazy, how we're not with the big business. They are. We're not for big war. They are.

ROSEANNE: Yeah. We're not for forced injections by, you know, people that are -- headquartered in Germany. Hello! I'm telling you.

GLENN: I know. Roseanne, it's good to talk to you. Happy birthday.

ROSEANNE: Thank you so much. I'm 72, and now I feel like I can really do everything I want finally.

GLENN: That's great. Great.

ROSEANNE: So, you know, I've put a lot of my energy to try to save our country. And I'm not going to quit.

And my prayer is that everybody wakes up. That God wakes them up.

When they want to be woke up or not.

And they will just listen to what I'm saying. Because I think I'm very smart. And that they will vote for Trump.

Thank you, Glenn!

GLENN: Thank you. God bless you, Roseanne.

Thanks. Roseanne Barr.

Why Peanut the Squirrel PERFECTLY summarizes the 2024 election

The internet was outraged after the euthanization of social media star Peanut the Squirrel by New York authorities, along with his housemate Fred the Raccoon. The pet squirrel was forcibly taken from his home in an all-out raid after a neighbor reported that he might have rabies. And somehow, it quickly turned into a rallying cry for the MAGA crowd against government tyranny. Glenn and Stu review the story, which proves we’re living in “Clown World,” as Glenn’s new book, “Propaganda Wars,” describes. Is this just a distraction, or is there a legitimate reason why this is the top story a day before the 2024 election? The truth is more shocking than Glenn and Stu expected …

GLENN: Do I think this is the weaponization of government?

Yes. Some anonymous person made a complaint. Apparently said, he might have rabies. The person came in without the permission of the people, and grabbed him, and he bit him.

Of course he did! My dog might bite you too if you are aggressive to my family.

What the hell is this? Now, I don't know about you. But I suspect Karen.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: That's what I -- that's who I suspect.

All Karens should be investigated today. And let me make this promise. If Donald Trump is elected, oh, all the Karens will be investigated. And probably, probably put in a camp someplace.

They're already building it, you know they are.

STU: This is an insane story.

GLENN: Insane.

STU: And it is so bizarre, when you're talking about the actual content of what occurred here.

You're talking about a squirrel and a raccoon, living as a pet. All of that. It is also one of the most egregious abuses of government power, I can ever remember.

It's like one of those things similar to -- like women's sports, where we talk about the transgender issue. There's a million different things that are really important about the transgender issue. Women's sports is not probably number one. The fact that a lot of medals get taken away.

It's dramatic. I have a girl, this might happen to. It's concerning. It's not the most serious part. It's the part that brings it home. Like the most. Right?

Moms and dads are like, wait a minute, my daughter will get hit in the face with a volleyball at 120 miles an hour. What are we talking about here? Right?

GLENN: Right.

STU: This is kind of in a weird way, sort of the same.

GLENN: It is! It is.

STU: You don't think about, it's a squirrel being killed. They get run over 9 trillion times a day.

GLENN: You know, can you stop just holding up the squirrel while you forget Fred the raccoon?

STU: I know, he's getting the shaft. Poor Fred.

GLENN: Poor Fred.

STU: But, I mean, if they will do this to a family, that is -- has documented all of this millions of millions of people. Followed this.

They see the squirrel is the little most adorable thing, jumping around. And the fact that they would do this.

GLENN: It's crazy.

STU: Knowing how visible it was. Just shows that they don't care. You think they care about you?

These people have millions and millions of people watching their daily life with this.

They took the squirrel and murdered it!

For no reason at all! In the most visible way possible.

They will not care about what your little complaint is.

Let me just point out, for no reason possible?

STU: No reason.

GLENN: Really? Okay.

Let me just quote Jen, early voter, Reuben from the Washington Post.

STU: Oh, God.

GLENN: Quote, the MAGA squirrel deserved to die. Now, I think this is both an absolutely ridiculous clown world story.

But I also think, it is a microcosm of everything this election is about.

Everything!

You know, they called Donald Trump vengeful.

They're going to get the MAGA squirrel, and kill him!

These people with peace in their hearts.

These animal lovers. The ones who just love the planet. Take an innocent squirrel.

That if he had a MAGA hat on, I can guarantee you, he didn't know what the hat was.

Not that he didn't know it was a MAGA hat!
He didn't even know it was a hat! And they kill him! This is nuts.

STU: Is that a squirrel joke?

GLENN: You've got a squirrel joke?

STU: You just said, it's nuts. You said, this is nuts. That's the ultimate squirrel joke. You made it, and didn't even realize it.
(laughter)

STU: I am really shocked by this, though.

I don't know -- I don't know, it's funny. Because I don't -- did the -- did the people who the parents -- did the parents of the squirrel, are their politics known at all?

Like, are they?

GLENN: I don't know. Apparently, she deleted this post, because she started to get hammered for it.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But Jen Reuben, Washington Post. She seems to know, it was a MAGA squirrel. I haven't asked the squirrels in my area, who they're for.

So there's no little teeny squirrel signs that I've seen for Trump, around any of the trees that I have in my house.

STU: I have heard that particular squirrel, peanut, supports lower corporate taxes.

So I'm concerned.

But it became a political issue. Not because --

GLENN: Everything is political!

STU: But not because -- as far as I know, these were like big MAGA people, who had a squirrel.

It's because the people who want your squirrel to live, are conservatives!

The people who don't want the government to have the power, to invade your home. And take your pets.

And murder them, for no reason, that's now a political issue!

Because the left wants the government to have that power!

They do. They want them to be able to do that. And they might say, well, I love my pet.

What are you talking about?

I love my pet, and I'm voting for Kamala Harris.

It doesn't matter, what you're advocating for is the power of the government to be able to do this stuff to you.

GLENN: And you believe that it will never do it to you!

STU: Uh-huh, which is selfish, by the way. Incredibly selfish.

That you don't care about anybody else, because you don't think it might happen to you.

That's not -- that's an incredibly selfish, instinct. You have that already.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Who did I see over the weekend, talk about, you know, people wonder how -- people just in Germany, just went full-fledged Nazi. And he said, look, what happened with COVID.

He's like, I'll bet you, at least 30 percent of our population, couldn't wait to turn a neighbor in!

Because it signaled their virtue.

STU: First among them, Tim Walz, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah. Put a hotline up. A hotline up.

STU: Report your neighbors.

If they're not handling an illness the way you want them to.

GLENN: That's unbelievable.

STU: This man, might be vice president, after he did that. Just that.

Forget the fact that he allowed cities to burn to the ground. And the other crap that he's been doing.

GLENN: Well, this time. This time, they're not taking any chances.

They have put the National Guard on standby, in Seattle, Washington.

Portland. And Washington, DC.

You know, all those deeply red areas.
(laughter)
A lot of tiki torchers, parades going on.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're worried about all the Trump supporters there.

STU: Well, Jussie Smollett is one of the first, that let us know, that MAGA country is not exactly where we think it is.

Sometimes it's downtown Chicago, sometimes it's Portland, Oregon. Right. That's MAGA country, for you.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, we have infiltrated all those areas with the squirrels.

So and they are pissed.
