What Everyone's Missing About the Ed Sheeran-Macklemore Drama | Guests: Danny Burmawi & Orlando Salazar | 9/16/26

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) was confronted by TMZ and explained why she's boycotting Ed Sheeran as the drama surrounding his tour and Macklemore's removal continues. Since then, every opening act and Sheeran's touring band have dropped out of the show. Glenn breaks down the Left's hypocrisy in this instance, the impossible situation Ed Sheeran was placed in, and how almost nobody is thinking about the hardworking people who will be left empty-handed if the tour gets canceled. Glenn explains how both the Rose Garden unsealing of a Russian assassination-network indictment and the public acknowledgment of U.S. space weapons look like a coordinated warning signal to Moscow and China. Former Muslim Danny Burmawi joins to discuss why he proudly identifies as an "infidel" as he breaks down the dangers rooted within Islam. Does Senate candidate James Talarico (D-Texas) have a chance at turning Texas blue? Glenn, Jason, and Rikki go through some of the worst Talarico statements that should end his campaign in Texas. Voz Media founder and CEO Orlando Salazar joins to discuss whether Hispanics can be convinced not to be one-issue voters on immigration enforcement. Learn more about your ad choices.

Glenn tells the story of a 19th-century librarian, Nikolai Fedorov, who claimed humanity's number-one goal was to defeat death, an idea that has since been carried throughout history and is still being chased by powerful men today. Glenn warns that the danger isn’t wanting to cure death, but it lies in what the people who are steering the ship will do to anybody who stands in their way.

Is the American dream of starting a business still obtainable? Glenn shares success stories of multiple businesses that started from the ground up and are now worth billions.

The four biggest AI labs are now calling for regulation to slow the growth of artificial intelligence agents. Glenn explains how AI has stopped being a search engine and has become an unsupervised instrument, but does that give developers the power of control? Glenn tells the story of the famous GM “streetcar conspiracy,” which shows how regulation always hurts smaller businesses and boosts already-growing big operations. Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, appeared on CBS’ "Face the Nation," where he claimed he’d be willing to give up the AI technology to the “right combination of governments.” What is going on with oil production and the price of gas? Glenn warns that darker days are coming and what you need to watch for. Glenn tells a story that has never been told before and discusses the unity Americans felt the day after 9/11.

As the Western world collapses, Malmö, Sweden, falls to radical rule and Minneapolis begins to mirror it with foreign flags, community checkpoints, and ideologically controlled streets. The farmer watches the West fracture as foreign peacekeepers expand, new borders appear, and the Reclamation Nations move to manage America’s decline. But as America slips into a muted calm, an unseen intelligence begins quietly shaping who eats, who moves, and who receives lifesaving medicine. What emerges is a chilling new order built not by armies, but by code.

One year ago today, a lone gunman took the life of TPUSA founder and president Charlie Kirk. Where are we as a country, as a political party, one year after Charlie was assassinated? When it first happened, there was a sense of unity. What happened to that? Glenn tells the story of a monument meant to celebrate Bunker Hill that went incomplete until children and a children’s author took it upon themselves to raise the money to finish it. Glenn shares what he learned in the moment that he was told Charlie Kirk was shot. Glenn also reacts to the moment he found out Charlie Kirk had passed when he was on with Megyn Kelly. Glenn also looks back 25 years to September 10, the day before the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers. Was that the last ordinary day in America? Glenn reminds us that if you want to save this country, you need to love it, and he challenges his audience to treat this September 10 differently than we have for the last 25 years. Glenn takes calls from listeners to gauge how they feel one year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
