Check out Glenn's exclusive DNC live stream coverage with Mario Nawful (2024)

The FBI's 2025 budget is $11.8 billion, and what do we have to show for it?

Former President Trump was nearly assassinated over a month ago, and we still haven't learned anything new about the shooter or his motives. What is the FBI doing with all the money it spends besides arresting reporters and listening to our phone calls? Recently, Glenn had former FBI agent and whistleblower Steve Friend on his show to discuss what exactlythe FBI is up to, and — spoiler alert — it's nothing like how they are portrayed in the movies. In fact, according to Friend, it's a whole lot less like Jodie Foster and a whole lot more like the DMV with guns and badges.

So what IS the FBI up to?

Last night, Monday, August 19th, was the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

The event made headlines for the violent, anti-semitic protests that were held outside the convention center, but what went on inside was just as crazy. Glenn covered the event live on X and pointed out many of the insane things being touted by the Democratic party. Here are the 10 CRAZIEST quotes from the opening night of the DNC:

The spin specialists in the campaign and the media are working overtime to convince America that she’s 'just like you.' She is not.

The progressive-socialist-globalist cabal has selected Kamala Harris as its puppet of choice to usher in the new world order, and the elites are trying everything in their power to convince you that she’s a moderate. Do not fall for it.

This is the same Kamala Harris who did so terribly in the 2020 presidential race that she had to drop out a month before the Iowa caucuses without ever earning a single pledged delegate. But in their current pecking order, it’s her turn. She has the proper left-wing extremist record, and more importantly, she’s a compliant team player with the cabal.

In the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots, Harris used every possible euphemism for “defunding the police” without saying the word “defund.”

The Democratic Party’s showrunners know they’ve got time to figure out how to spin Kamala’s extremism because the mainstream media is doing all the smoke and mirrors work for them. White House officials recently told Politico that Harris’ reputation as a far-left-wing crusader is an unfair holdover from positions she took when she ran for president in 2019. They say those positions don’t really represent who she is. One senior White House official said, “That [2020] primary was a distorting experience for a lot of people.”

Politico just accepted that and moved on instead of asking the obvious question: Does this mean Harris was simply lying about everything during that campaign?

During those debates and primaries four years ago, Harris clearly favored decriminalizing border crossings and even providing illegal aliens with taxpayer-funded health care.

She sponsored the No Ban Act, which would have limited the president’s ability to keep specific immigrants from entering the United States. It’s clear that Harris had a very left-wing position on immigration that would have essentially established complete open borders.

Then she became vice president and Biden dumped the job on her that no one wanted: trying to figure out what to do about the border. She royally failed that assignment. That’s not my assessment — though I agree with it. That was the official assessment of Numbers USA, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that monitors border security policies and grades members of Congress on their immigration voting. They gave Harris an F-minus.

It has now been two and a half years since Harris’ last visit to the border. During the Biden-Harris administration, at least 7.3 million illegal immigrants have been allowed into the country. Meanwhile, according to a recent House Judiciary Committee report:

Under the Biden-Harris administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States.

The report found that Border Patrol has encountered migrants on the terror watch list from 36 different countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, but soon as Harris took over Biden’s campaign, the media went into damage control mode for her on the border issue — to the point of trying to convince us she was never really Biden’s border czar. It is such blatant gaslighting because it’s so easy to disprove, yet the media did it anyway.

Nowhere near the center

Of course, running interference for Kamala Harris is not new. The media did the same thing in 2020 when Joe Biden announced Harris as his running mate. George Stephanopoulos said, “Harris comes from the middle of the road.” The Los Angeles Times called her “centrist.” The New York Times called her a “pragmatic moderate.” But the Washington Post took the cake, calling her a “small-c conservative.”

Here are Kamala Harris’ true colors. According to GovTrack, Harris’ Senate record was to the left of socialist Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). GovTrack also found that Harris joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to other Senate Democrats. Harris and the media may not want you to know what her positions and agenda truly are, but there is the historical record.

She was the first senator to co-sponsor Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All bill to end private health insurance. In the aftermath of the 2020 George Floyd riots, Harris used every possible euphemism for “defunding the police” without saying the word defund, but everyone knew what she meant. Harris went on to co-sponsor the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, which would have limited legal protections for police officers.

In 2004, when Harris was district attorney of San Francisco, she refused to pursue the death penalty against the man who murdered a San Francisco police officer. At the officer’s funeral, then-Senator Dianne Feinstein gave a eulogy during which she criticized Harris, who was in attendance, and hundreds of police officers gave a standing ovation in agreement. You must be an extremist when Dianne Feinstein of all people slaps you for being too far left on an issue.

Harris was a “proud” original co-sponsor of the Green New Deal in the Senate, the most authoritarian legislation in U.S. history. She co-sponsored a bill to ban oil exploration across 1.5 million acres of federal land. She has made “environmental justice” a central part of her climate plans for America. She sponsored legislation to set up a committee exploring reparation payments for black Americans. She is against voter ID requirements. She wants to pack the Supreme Court and eliminate the Senate filibuster.

She bragged about gaining access to gender reassignment surgeries for California prison inmates when she was the state attorney general. She champions the Equality Act, which would allow men to compete in women’s sports.

Abortion-obsessed

And she is borderline obsessed with abortion. She has attacked crisis pregnancy centers as vice president, calling the free help they offer women “predatory practices.” As a senator, she voted twice against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. In March, she became the first sitting vice president to visit and celebrate a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic as part of her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour.

According to new reporting by the Daily Signal, when Harris was California’s attorney general, she had the home of pro-life journalist David Daleiden raided by state Justice Department agents who seized video evidence that potentially incriminated employees of Planned Parenthood. Why? Because Daleiden had recorded undercover conversations with these employees in which they allegedly discussed selling body parts of aborted babies. According to this Daily Signal report, the raid on Daleiden’s home happened just two weeks after Planned Parenthood officials had a meeting with Harris. Daleiden’s attorney, Steve Cooley, said:

There’s no doubt in my mind that Kamala Harris, as attorney general, personally ordered the raid on David Daleiden’s home. This was an effort to seize the videotapes that Mr. Daleiden had made during the course of his investigation. That was the primary purpose of that raid, to basically suppress his activities with respect to exposing the illegal sale of fetal body parts.

He later added, “I think a Kamala Harris presidency would be incredibly dangerous for civil rights.”

Kamala Harris is no moderate. The spin specialists in her campaign and in the media are working overtime to convince America that she is moderate and relatable to regular Americans. They’re trying to convince you that she’s “just like you.” She is not. You find out who politicians really are by what they do, how they vote, what legislation they support. You find out what their real priorities are by who they spend time with and the places they visit.

Harris’ record could not be clearer. She has never called herself a socialist, as far as my research team can find, but her record screams socialist. This is who she is. She has been immersed in America’s far-left subculture, an identity she fully embraces.\

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Apparently, we’re supposed to believe that the entire country became excited overnight for Kamala Harris’ presidential bid. Small donations reportedly skyrocketed. ActBlue, the left’s main small-donor fundraiser platform, reported $27.5 million in donations within the first five hours of her announcing her campaign two weeks ago.

Just a few hours later, that number nearly doubled to $46.7 million. ActBlue said the haul was its biggest fundraising day of the entire 2024 election cycle. After 24 hours, ActBlue was reporting over $90 million for Mrs. Yellow School Bus.

Are we supposed to buy that the nation suddenly decided to line the coffers of the least popular Democratic presidential candidate of the 2020 election? Harris was so bad during the 2020 primary that maybe a dozen people voted for her. But now she’s igniting passion and shattering fundraising records over at ActBlue. Call me crazy for saying that sounds a little suspicious.

ActBlue piqued my interest back during the "Summer of Rage.” My research team investigated the fundraising of Black Lives Matter. We noticed this little disclaimer on ActBlue’s website under a section titled “The Fine Print”:

In the event that a campaign or committee (a) fails for 60 days to cash a check from ActBlue which includes your contribution (after ActBlue makes repeated attempts to work with the campaign to ensure all checks are cashed), or (b) affirmatively refuses a contribution earmarked through ActBlue, your contribution will be re-designated as a contribution to ActBlue. Contributions to social welfare organizations which are similarly not cashed or affirmatively refused will be kept by ActBlue and used generally to support its social welfare activities. Contributions to charitable organizations which are not cashed or affirmatively refused will go to ActBlue Charities.

In other words, if a recipient never cashed the check, ActBlue could do whatever it wanted with the money. Doesn’t that sound kind of shady? What’s to stop a coordinated effort to refuse funds in one area then re-channel those funds to their pet projects? If we’re talking dark money here, this has the potential to be as dark as it gets.

The aforementioned text was still on ActBlue’s website at the end of July. The verbiage changed on August 1, amid the “record-breaking” fundraising campaign for Harris. Now why would they do that?

Perhaps because details like the following are starting to come out. According to investigative journalist James O’Keefe, Maryland resident Cindy Nowe “allegedly contributed over 1,000 times to ActBlue in 2022, totaling $18,849.77.” That means she would have needed to donate to ActBlue at least three times a day, every day, for the whole year.

Nowe denied ever making those contributions beyond an initial donation.

It gets even more nefarious. On June 8, a similar person’s name and address were used to donate through ActBlue five times, and all five donations were for the same amount.

The name was used to donate 19 times, and every single donation was for either $5.26 or $5.27. Oddly specific numbers, aren’t they? It almost looks like they changed the number by one cent just to avoid some kind of trigger or something.

I asked Federal Election Commissioner Allen Dickerson on the radio about this case and others just like it.

“My team conducted its own research, finding donations to ActBlue under names that differ only by a single letter with identical contributions,” he said. “Citizen journalists across the country have found similar trends, and we’re seeing similar cases pop up in more states all over the country.”

What is going on? Money controls this election. It dumped a sitting president and installed a new candidate. Now it’s being shot out all over the place in ways difficult to explain. This isn’t some random conspiracy theory. The data is right there. It even got the attention of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and an assortment of House Republicans.

Authorities have fined ActBlue at least twice for facilitating illegal contributions. If money controls this election, data from the FEC shows that Harris has only been running for president for a couple of weeks, yet her funding destroys Donald Trump’s! How could she enter the race this late and still out-fundraise a candidate who has been fundraising the entire time?

According to the FEC under “Transfers from Other Authorized Committees,” all the money raised during Biden’s candidacy has already been transferred to Harris.

How is that even remotely fair? How is it legal? Harris now has the money that people gave to Joe Biden. Millions of Democrats voted for Biden in the primary. Then there was a coup, and then the coup money went to Harris. These are the people who claim to be “defenders of democracy.” They are anything but.
