The Trump Team is handling the media amazingly, and Glenn and Stu have the highlights. They review the first press conference for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and her big revelation about the mysterious New Jersey drones: the government knew about and authorized them. So, why did the Biden administration not tell us that?! It’s time for the truth to be revealed about this and much more, Glenn says, including about who was running the government during the Biden administration and who forced Joe Biden out of the 2024 election.

GLENN: Let's just first start with how I think how competent this administration is. All of the people that are being put into roles. How competent they are.
Let's start with an interview, with Stephen Miller.
With Jake Tapper. I mean, you can see the disgust in Jake Tapper's face. He's -- hmm, he's -- he's pretty transparent. Listen to this.
VOICE: How does President Trump make sure that the effort to deport people who are not in this country, legally, doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe borders, absolutely. But also, don't want to see even more higher prices in groceries.
VOICE: Well, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake. Just asking the question. That we should supply America's food. With exploitative illegal labor. Obviously that's what you're applying. One percent of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles, and small industrial towns, of course all across the heartland, as we've seen with the Biden flights. None of those illegal aliens are doing farm works. Those 30,000 illegal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into Springfield --
VOICE: Yeah. I'm talking about the --
VOICE: No, no, no. But I'm explaining this to you. It's important to understand.
VOICE: No, you're kind of changing the subject.
GLENN: Is he changing the subject?
STU: Not really. Yeah.
VOICE: You and your audience.
VOICE: I'm talking about the ones that could -- that work in the agriculture industry.
I'm not talking about the ones in the city, I swear.
VOICE: I'll do the whole answer!
The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not, full-stop, doing farm work.
They are not!
The illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua. They are not doing farm work. They are inner cities collecting welfare.
As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports.
Over time, as well, you will transition into automation, so you will never have to have this conversation ever again.
But there's no universe in which --
GLENN: Look how disgusted his face is. Jake Tapper.
VOICE: -- to flood our nation with millions of illegal aliens, who just get to stay here.
GLENN: I think that is a totally reasonable answer.
And I really think that we should start asking people about farm labor and cheap labor, and they're using that as a defense.
Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were in the 1850s, again.
Okay. So you have no -- no problem with exploiting people, as long as they're out picking your food. Okay. I've got it. I just want to understand where you're coming from. Because that is what they are arguing.
STU: It's amazing too. The media really hates Donald Trump. I'm not breaking news with that.
But they may hate Stephen Miller more. They can't stand him!
GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.
STU: And I will say, you may not agree with Stephen Miller's opinion on these things.
He knows this stuff really well.
GLENN: Oh, yeah.
STU: You're not going to -- he knows immigration issues. These are the issues that got him to the position that he's in.
And you're not going to get on there, and stump him on that stuff.
GLENN: And I think everyone needs to learn from what this administration is saying.
They've been saying for the last couple of days is: Are you okay -- I just want to be on the record with you.
Are you okay saying that we should exploit people for cheaper prices?
I just -- because it puts you -- it puts the Democrats where they have always been, since the 1800s. Yes.
It's going to affect our life, if we get rid of these slaves. Yes. It's going to affect my lawn care prices. It's going to affect my food prices. My orange prices.
Okay! That's fine.
I just want to make sure that I understand clearly, that that is where you stand. Because then we can take a conversation, honestly, now, and we can talk about two things.
Is that right for you to think that? Or does that kind of put you back into the old-timey days with slavery?
STU: Even if -- it's one of those things that even if it made the prices go up slightly.
It will be the type of thing that Americans will be okay with.
They didn't like the slavery thing. I think we're off that bandwagon.
GLENN: And it's different.
Because I have an Apple product. Okay. I have Apple products in my house. I know those are made by slaves. I hate that. But it's the best product. And how I justify it, in my head.
And this is exactly the thing they did in the 1800s, as well.
I justified in my head, well, I'll never be able to change China.
Not going to change China. And we are working to change China, in any way we can.
STU: Also -- context also matters there. A lot of the jobs that we -- again, slavery, it was a is specific thing. We compare a lot of things to slavery. To be clear, even illegal immigrants here, are not slaves. Typically. Some of them are. Some of them are, probably.
GLENN: But it's still exploitation of people for cheaper prices.
STU: And I will say, especially when you're talking about China, and products in other countries, you have to put context into it.
You know, the pay that they get there, if it were here, would be terrible! If it's there, lots of times, it's the best job in the area.
That's not always true. It's something that you have to consider.
GLENN: Yeah. So now let's go to the new press secretary.
Caroline Leavitt. She was I thought really, really good yesterday.
She did seem a little nervous.
When you're walking into a shark tank --
STU: To be expected, your first day. Right?
GLENN: Absolutely.
But I thought she did really well.
At first, she started the press conference with some breaking news about the drones. Cut three.
VOICE: And before I turn to questions, I do have news directly to the president of the United States. That was just shared with me in the Oval Office.
From President Trump directly.
An update on the New Jersey drones.
After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals, that enjoy flying drones. In the meantime -- in time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.
A statement from the president of the United States, to start his briefing with some news.
GLENN: How do you feel about that? That answer?
STU: I mean, you know me. I don't --
GLENN: That's where you were.
STU: That's kind of where I was. Kind of where I figured it would land. Now, those are words directly from President Trump's mouth. I don't know why he would lie about it.
GLENN: I don't think he would.
STU: I don't think he would. I'm not shocked where that lands.
GLENN: I'm not satisfied. And I know President Trump is not satisfied with these things either. That's a good opening statement. What I would like to see is the transparency of, here are the documents from the FAA approving these things. I don't need to know what they were testing. But here's what they said.
The -- the Biden administration decided to close that down, because -- or, you know, not tell you about this.
Not spread these to the American people.
I don't know why. Maybe it's they cause chaos.
But they were also very incompetent on a lot of things. So I don't know why it wasn't verified.
But I would like to see the documentation. It would help, because we don't trust anything anymore.
I do trust Donald Trump to tell us the truth. Because I do believe he -- he answers to us. I do believe that. He doesn't have an ulterior motive.
I think the -- I think the shooting, honestly, proved that out.
STU: For people -- I mean, you were -- I wouldn't say the biggest, you know, theorist of this.
But you were concerned and asked a lot of questions. There are people who are much, much more deeply into this, than you were.
What's the reaction from that side? Do they buy that?
GLENN: No.
STU: I mean, a lot of them like Trump.
GLENN: No. I think -- here's where I would go in my mind, is, well, Trump is saying that, because of national security.
STU: Okay.
GLENN: He can't say anything else. You know what I mean?
I think you've got to -- you will go down a road. And that's why I say, I would like to see the documentation. Just show me the documentation, so we can write these things off.
We're talking to comber next hour. And it's the same kind of thing.
I don't care if people are arrested anymore. I just want to know the truth. And I want to see it in documents. I want the proof of what was going on.
I want to know who was running the White House, and our country, in the last six months.
STU: I'm with you on that.
GLENN: I think that's really important.
STU: Huge one. We have these big things. We just kind of stop.
GLENN: Yeah.
STU: You know, the -- there is some news on this that broke the other day.
But like, the lab leak, COVID situation. Like just -- China just gets away with this. Is that how this works?
Like we just -- you know, 25 million people died in the world. And we will just be like, oh, man.
Remember that whole story of the Pangolins? Like we will try to shrug our shoulders, and let that go on.
We all lost a year of our lives, and we will be like, you know. What's the big deal?
I mean, I don't know exactly how you punish them. I know Trump is obviously very focused on.
Not only punishment, but also getting answers on this stuff. But we can't just let that go.
GLENN: I don't think he is. With the stopping all funding on everything to make sure for 90 days. We want to make sure that this is all in line with the agenda of the United States.
But also, I think it was over the weekend.
He stopped any communication from NIH, CDC. Any of these organizations.
GLENN: Yeah.
You are not to change your website. You are not to make any statements on, hey, we just did a research study. Nothing. You do nothing, until we get a handle on what's really going on.
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: I think that's really good.
STU: I'm not saying, that wasn't a Trump criticism.
GLENN: No. I know.
STU: It's a society criticism. We do tend to just move on from this stuff. China, especially here.
If the foundation of all of that chaos, was them letting this out of this lab. Which I believe it was, there has to be ramifications for that. Same thing with the last six months. Six months isn't long enough.
The last year, year and a half of the Biden administration.
Where we have multiple well-reported news stories, saying that at least six people, inside Joe Biden's inner circle, actively hid what he was doing behind the scenes, so that he could win that election.
That's not okay. We have -- something has to be done about what happened there.
We need to know. I want to know -- I want every single text, from those six people when they were planning that out.
GLENN: I want to know.
I want to know, not only who ran the government. But also, who actually forced him out?
STU: Uh-huh.
GLENN: Who was the one that actually. Was it Nancy Pelosi?
Was it Kamala?
Was it Barack Obama?
How did that actually come down?
STU: Oh, it will be incredible. Someone will actually write a book about it.
GLENN: I'm telling you, the corruption that has happened in the last four years, the American people may not understand it, but they've got a pretty good gut. They knew something is really wrong.
And it -- you know, I think Tulsi Gabbard, DNI position, if she -- I think she's going to be the one that has the hardest time getting through.
I think everything else, before this, was, you know, rookies. Compared to what they are going to do to her. And this vote is secret. Hmm.
I've got a problem with that. We'll get into that here in just a second.
But that DNI position is I believe, and Kash Patel's position at DOJ.
Those are two of the most important. Or FBI.
The two of the most important positions.
Because they will be. You will be able to see. And they can unlock doors.
And we have a chance at a church commission.
Which must happen!
