Glenn: "It's when you're in trouble that people begin to see your true character"

Have you ever criticized Vice President Biden or opposed the objections being thrown at Mitt Romney? If you have, according to Biden, you’re a “squealing pig.”

It’s odd that the Democrats constantly seem to be name-calling those who criticize them or, much less, defend themselves against inaccurate accusations. After all, this is the party of “diversity and inclusivity,” isn’t it?

“These are lovers of all opinions, all lifestyles, all choices as valid – Joe Biden is the Vice President of the United States.  He's calling us pigs now.  That's fantastic, isn't it?  He's so inclusive,” Glenn said. “Actually it is fantastic, because it shows their desperation.  It shows who they really are.”

But that's not who Americans are.

The true character of a person is hard to see when things are going well for them. But in times of desperation, that’s when you see who a person really is in their core. When someone finds themselves in trouble their true character can be seen.

“We don't have to worry about the name calling nonsense because name calling doesn't matter.  Sticks and stones may break my bones, but calling me a pig really is ridiculous,” Glenn said.

The more hate, insults, and lies this administration throws at conservatives the more trouble they are in. The White House is showing us what kind of shape they’re really in because there is no validity or substance to the things they are spouting out across the nation about conservatives, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, or their policies.

“Heading into the home stretch they've never been questioned, they've never had their back pushed up against the wall, they've never had any of these things happen to them,” Glenn pointed out. “They don't know how to deal with it.”

However, the Tea Party and true conservatives have been under attack since day one – from both parties – first by the Bush administration, then by this one.

“You know who you are,” Glenn told listeners, “and you've known who they are for a long time.”

It’s obvious that the Obama administration is in trouble. But what kind of shape are we in? What kind of shape are Americans in? That’s the question Glenn answered this morning.

“I think we’re in better shape that in any time, since 9/12/2011,” he said. “Do you remember the feeling of unity and resolve that we had?”

9/12 is a day that all Americans remember – a day America came together no matter the differences that were between them.

“People are beginning to come together. We used to care about each other. On that day we did literally care about each other. We turned to God. We had a common goal and purpose. That's what Americans always do in a time of crisis:  We come together.  We've come together.  We've turned to God,” Glenn said.

As Americans look ahead and see the challenges that lie ahead, it’s clear that we are at a crossroads.

“We're looking at the choices carefully and we're choosing the paths that lead us back to the road the founders put us on, at least many of us are,” Glenn noted. “Not everybody.  Admittedly there's a chasm in America.”

As divided as the country may seem, the overwhelming majority of Americans generally stand on the same side of the major issues.

“Don't forget every poll, every single one done over the course of years has shown that conservatives outnumber liberals at least two to one, and a full 79% of Americans are not liberals,” Glenn reminded listeners.

Liberals may act like they are in the overwhelming majority, but they’re not – it’s not even close. This is why they’ve worked to influence and gain control of the mainstream media, and why they alienate and ridicule those bold enough to speak out against them.

They want you to feel alone. You’re not.

Internal polling is showing that if the election were held today, Mitt Romney would win. While a lot can change in the next two months, more and more people are waking up and coming together to get this country back on track.

“This doesn't mean that we're not going to face some hard times,” Glenn told listeners.

There are still a lot of challenges ahead, and Glenn pointed out that many of us are already seeing it at the grocery store.

The point Glenn is making, however, is that Americans will come together and we will make it through the challenges that lie ahead. For the last few years, Glenn has been telling people that his audience will lead the way towards restoring America.

“You're part of the group that will save the nation. We will hold it together, Glenn told the audience.

“You will be a shelter from the storm. You will be a blessing to your neighbor, to your family, to your state and to your country, because you've done the hard work. You know what we're facing.  We're facing freedom, real freedom that will come at a cost, or slavery – free stuff.  The good news is there's a lot of Americans that have had their fill of the free stuff promised because they see the freedoms going away, and more importantly, they also know you can't keep paying for this free stuff:  it won't work.  It never does.”

The Biden admin has let in MORE illegal aliens than the populations of THESE 15 states

There are currently an estimated 16.8 MILLION illegal aliens residing in the United States as of June 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). This number is already 1.3 million higher than FAIR's January 2022 estimate of 15.5 million and a 2.3 million increase from its end-of-2020 estimate. Even Democrats like New York City's Mayor Adams Mayor Adams are waking up to what Conservatives have been warning for years: we are in a border CRISIS.

However, this isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010. In the first two years of the Biden administration alone, the illegal alien population increased by 16 PERCENT nationwide, imposing a whopping net cost of $150.6 BILLION PER YEAR on American taxpayers. That is nearly DOUBLE the total amount that the Biden administration has sent to Ukraine.

This isn't the same border crisis that Republicans were warning about back in 2010.

These large numbers often make it difficult to conceptualize the sheer impact of illegal immigration on the United States. To put it in perspective, we have listed ALL 15 states and the District of Colombia that have smaller populations than the 2.3 MILLION illegal immigrants, who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration. That is more than the entire populations of Wyoming, Vermont, and South Dakota COMBINED—and the American taxpayers have to pay the price.

Here are all 16 states/districts that have FEWER people than the illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.

1. New Mexico

Population: 2,110,011

2. Idaho

Population: 1,973,752

3. Nebraska

Population: 1,972,292

4. West Virginia

Population: 1,764,786

5. Hawaii

Population: 1,433,238

6. New Hampshire

Population: 1,402,957

7. Maine

Population: 1,393,442

8. Montana

Population: 1,139,507

9. Rhode Island

Population: 1,090,483

10. Delaware

Earlier this week, tech titans, lawmakers, and union leaders met on Capitol Hill to discuss the future of AI regulation. The three-hour meeting boasted an impressive roster of tech leaders including, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and others, along with more than 60 US Senators.

The meeting was closed to the public, so what was exactly discussed is unknown. However, what we do know is that a majority of the CEOs support AI regulation, the most vocal of which is Elon Musk. During the meeting, Musk called AI "a double-edged sword" and strongly pushed for regulation in the interest of public safety.

A majority of the CEOs support AI regulation.

Many other related issues were discussed, including the disruption AI has caused to the job market. As Glenn has discussed on his program, the potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real, and many have already felt the effects. From taxi drivers to Hollywood actors and writers, AI's presence can be felt everywhere and lawmakers are unsure how to respond.

The potential for AI to alter or destroy jobs is very real.

Ultimately, the meeting's conclusion was less than decisive, with several Senators making comments to the tune of "we need more time before we act." The White House is expected to release an executive order regarding AI regulation by the end of the year. But now it's YOUR turn to tell us what YOU think needs to be done!

Should A.I. be regulated?

Can the government be trusted with the power to regulate A.I.? 

Can Silicon Valley be trusted to regulate AI? 

Should AI development be slowed for safety, despite its potential advantages?

If a job can be done cheaper and better by AI, should it be taken away from a human?

Do you feel that your job is threatened by AI?

Glenn wrote this essay on September 12, 2001. Are we the same people now?

ED JONES / Contributor | Getty Images

Twenty two years ago today on September 12th, 2001, Glenn wrote an essay called "The Greatest American Generation." These were his visceral thoughts immediately following the 9/11 attacks. This beautiful essay calls upon the American spirit to rise to the occasion to pull us through what was one of the darkest days in our nation's history. He called us to unite around the common vision that unites us as Americans.

Yesterday, Glenn revisited this essay, wondering if we are the same people who could have pulled through that dark hour. Do you still believe the things that he wrote in this essay? Or have we become a people too divided to overcome a tragedy of the magnitude of 9/11? Consider these questions as you read Glenn's essay below, "The Greatest American Generation," published on September 12, 2001.

I've always believed that the greatest American generation is the one that's living, in the here and the now. The question is not if this is the greatest American generation. The question was when were we going to wake up? I remember staying at my grandparents' house in the summer when I was small. Every morning my grandmother would open the attic door and call up, "Kids, time to wake up." For me she'd have to do this a couple of times before I'd lumber out of bed and cross the cold, squeaky wooden floor. But finally, I would. And she'd be there in the kitchen ready with breakfast. My grandfather was already outside in the henhouse because there was work to do. They were hardworking, good and decent people. Seemed to me that they were from not only a different time but a different place. They weren't.

The spirit of our parents and our grandparents isn't from some foreign place. It hasn't died out. It's a flame that flickers in all Americans. It's there and it's ready to blaze to life when we're ready to face the challenges that now lie at our feet. It's what sets us apart. It's what built this country. It's why our borders still teem with the poor and the tired and those yearning to be free, burned with zeal in the hearts of millions of immigrants from every corner of the Earth who came here in search of a better way of life. The flame that Lady Liberty holds is the American spirit which burns deep within all of us, no matter what our race, gender, our religious background. And today the world is watching us. It's really nothing new. It always has.

Since the dawn of man people dreamt of a better life, dreamt of a better way, of freedom. But it was Americans that finally found a way to build it. And out of all that we've built, the powerful machines, the computers, the weapons of mass destruction, hardware and software that we spent millions on every year to protect and keep the plan secret, our biggest seeming secret, the one the world wants most of all, isn't a secret at all. It's something we freely give to the rest of the world. And while it seems self‑evident to us, for some reason it can't be duplicated. Yet it can be passed on from person to person, torch to torch. It's the American spirit.

If you weren't trapped in one of those towers or on a plane or in the Pentagon, then you have great reason to humbly give thanks today, not for our lives but because we're the lucky ones. God hasn't forsaken us. He's awakened us. Standing at the bottom of the stairs, he's gently called out, "Kids, it's time to wake up! We've been given another chance."

Thousands of years ago in Babel, the great civilization in their arrogance built a tower that reached the sky. It crumbled and they were scattered. Our heart and steely symbols of power and wealth may have crumbled, but we have not been scattered. Americans aren't ever going to scatter. Let the world recognize through our actions today that those firefighters in New York are not the exception. They are the rule. Americans don't run from burning buildings. We run into them. It was a beautiful fall morning on the edge of the land created through divine providence. Coffee shops were open. Children were on their buses and people easing into another typical workday when America's greatest generation heard the voice: "Kids, it's time to wake up."

Several times we've ignored the voice. We've drifted back into twilight sleep muttering, "I know, I know, in a minute." But finally we are awake and out of bed, for there is much work to do. The task before us is much more daunting than what our grandparents and parents faced, but we are stronger, a more prepared nation. The torch has been passed. We are the greatest American generation. The American spirit is alive and well. Our flame has not burned out. It had just been dimmed while we were asleep."
