Show Notes
Iran’s state news agency posted a 26-page letter addressed to the “honorable” people of America. Glenn breaks down why Iran posted the letter, who Iran hopes will read the letter, and how this letter exposes how desperate Iran has gotten. Glenn breaks down President Trump’s newest government website and his new declaration regarding artificial intelligence. Glenn speaks with journalist Chris Hansen about A24’s latest movie about him, "Primetime," which seems like a hit piece on his work on “To Catch a Predator.” Glenn calls out the subset of Republican men who are blaming women for all of their problems and advocating to take away women’s right to vote. After Glenn spoke about the epidemic of children cutting off their parents, subscribers sent in very similar stories. On a similar note, Glenn speaks on the abuse of the word “narcissist” to become a catch-all insult for anybody who disagrees with us. Glenn speaks with “No Contact” author Noelle Mering, who explains why people cut off loved ones over political differences.
