Summary

Greg Gutfeld, Fox News host and author of "The Plus: Self-Help for People Who Hate Self-Help," admits he is the last person who should write a self-help book. Regardless, he gives Glenn his solutions to save America and his advice on drinking while tweeting (spoiler: don't do it). He discusses his evolution on Trump, his prediction for the election, and what it means to be an agnostic-atheist. Plus, he shares what he calls his first great epiphany: “Cancel culture is the first successful work-around of the First Amendment." Greg also reveals his secrets on how to stay "plus" when the world is a big fat "minus" right now and encourages Glenn not to despair: "If you read my book, you'll feel a lot better."
