Glenn's Show Prep

You won't believe the cool stuff Glenn plans to show off at this special event in Dallas, TX - find out how you can get involved!

September 22, 2014
Wilson

Writer

One of the biggest hits at the 'Man in the Moon' event last year was the Mercury One Museum. Attendees got to see some incredible pieces, including several Bibles from important moments in American history, Joseph Smith's pocket watch, The Disneyland Prospectus, and more. This year, Glenn (of course) is planning to go even bigger as the 'Miracles and Massacres Museum' comes to Mercury One's Gods, Guns, and Giving 2014 event on October 10th and 11th. A the event, Glenn plans to debut the Normandy flag he purchased at auction earlier this year as part of the museum. On his TV show Monday night, Glenn spoke to historians and curators helping with the museum, and gave a preview of what attendees could expect.

Glenn: Coming out of Studio 19 to our backstage area. Reid Moon, how are you sir?

Reid: Great.

Glenn: Good to see you. This is Jeremy Boyd. He is in charge of my library. This guy has one of the best collections of amazing stuff you’ve ever seen. We are going to put together for the first time in I think in 18 months another $50 million worth of rare artifacts, and it’s going to happen here at our studios in Las Colinas. It’s happening on October.

Jeremy: Tenth and 11th.

Glenn: Tenth and 11th. We want you to come. Bring your family. Bring your class. Bring your school. Bring your church. Bring whoever. But you’re going to see the history of the world like you’ve never seen before. I want to get to this last, but show me some of the stuff that you have.

Reid: Sure. Right here, in 1832, Samuel Francis Smith wrote 'My Country, ‘Tis of Thee', or America as it’s known. When he is 84 years old, somebody came up to him and said, “Can you write that out for me?” And when he is 84 years old, he wrote it out, 60 years later, and this is a handwritten copy.

Glenn: This one is so amazing.

Reid: Okay, in the early 1960s, we don’t have the social media like we—

Glenn: Right, we don’t have Facebook.

Reid: So this, a little old lady in Chicago sees Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV. Two hours later, she goes down to Western Union, says, “Can you send a telegram to Jack Ruby?”

Glenn: This is the telegram. Look at this. Dallas, Texas, courthouse basement, Dallas. “Congratulations—you had the courage to do what the rest of the world would like to have done. Mrs. G F Gage…East 68th Street.” That’s a little dark. Real quick, this?

Reid: Okay, many people have seen the movie The King’s Speech. This is the King’s speech. You open it up, for his coronation, here’s all the wording. This is an invitation to the coronation. This is what the king said.

Glenn: This was what the movie…this is what he was…so this was actually done?

Reid: Yes.

Glenn: Let’s see, we’ve got to do a couple of other things. I mean, this is a ticket for the Zeppelin, the Hindenburg. This is a hand-marked script from Orson Welles. This is unbelievable, Mother Teresa. She went to the UN. This is UN week in New York. I love this. She said—this is the first time Mother Teresa goes to the UN—“I felt like fish out of water in that crowd of businessmen and leaders. I never feel like that with crowds much greater—but closer—of our kind—the lepers, the dying, the unwanted, the helpless, the unloved, the lonely.” I just think that’s amazing. Real quick, explain what this is if we have time.

Reid: Well, if you come to the museum, you will learn the full story, but this is actually a purchase order for 8,000 cubic yards of stone to put the Statue of Liberty on.

Glenn: But when you hear the full story, it will blow you away, blow you away—a piece of American history you’ve never heard before and true heroism. I mean, the guy is amazing. Now, let me show you this. So Reid comes in. I say, “What do you have?” There’s like $1 million worth of stuff on this table right now. I say, “What do you have?” And he said, “Oh, it’s just a simple book, right? It’s the New Testament.

But sometimes it’s who wrote in the Old Testament or who it belongs to. You’ll see that there’s writing, very faded, but there’s writing all the way through this New Testament. And the guy who had it was a linguist, and so he’s correcting this version of the New Testament, the Greek in it. It was owned…J.R.R. Tolkien. How amazing is that? Reid, I can’t wait to show more of this stuff and thank you. We’ll see you in a couple weeks.

I want to show you what else we’re working on now. We’re going to take you down to Stage 33. Sorry, this is very messy. I don’t like it this messy, but we’re busy, okay? Get off me. Okay, so going into Stage 33. Let me just get ahead of you here. And here on Stage 33—hey, Justin—this is…right now, we have just kind of made this into…we just cleared out this set, and some of the stuff is kind of out in the hallway.

This is going to be our first 4-D experiment. I someday want to build a museum, an American history museum, but I want to build it in a way that kids will never, ever forget. So we are doing something in this studio. It will be our first history museum exhibit that will hopefully come to life for you. This is going to be the beaches of Normandy and you’re going to come in. In fact, these will be risers right basically where you are now, risers, and these walls are going to come to life in several different layers so you will feel like you are landing on the beaches of Normandy.

In fact, the designers have told us that they think that it might be a little too intense for small children and some combat veterans, if you have issues at all, that this might be a little too intense, because we want you to feel like you are in war. My Uncle Leo landed on the beaches of Normandy, and what he described to me, I want to bring to life, and I want you to feel it.

And this room, the only exhibit in this room will be the Normandy flag, the flag that actually landed on all of the beaches on D-Day. We want you to see it. And then you’ll go out, and you will see $50 million worth of artifacts. They have many of them not been seen. All of them haven’t been seen for at least 18 months, including the pilgrims’ Bible, the one that was brought over on the Mayflower.

Last time we brought some of these things out of the vaults, people actually stood there and wept because they are so moving just to see them. Bring them to life, and it hopefully will be an experience you and your family will never forget. Get your tickets now. They’re going fast. Grab them online. Come down to our studios and meet us.

Some of them are going to be hosted…some of the tours will be hosted by Reid. Some will be by Brent Ashworth or myself or some of the other people that we have, lots of volunteers to help walk you through history, but we want you to come to our studios in Las Colinas just outside of Dallas, Texas, the Mercury Studios.

Go to MercuryOne.org. All of the proceeds go to help fund Mercury One so they don’t have to worry about, you know, paying any of the salary for anybody. This is what takes care of it every year. Go see our museum. Find your tickets now, MercuryOne.org.

Trump’s secret war in the Caribbean EXPOSED — It’s not about drugs

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

The president’s moves in Venezuela, Guyana, and Colombia aren’t about drugs. They’re about re-establishing America’s sovereignty across the Western Hemisphere.

For decades, we’ve been told America’s wars are about drugs, democracy, or “defending freedom.” But look closer at what’s unfolding off the coast of Venezuela, and you’ll see something far more strategic taking shape. Donald Trump’s so-called drug war isn’t about fentanyl or cocaine. It’s about control — and a rebirth of American sovereignty.

The aim of Trump’s ‘drug war’ is to keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

The president understands something the foreign policy class forgot long ago: The world doesn’t respect apologies. It respects strength.

While the global elites in Davos tout the Great Reset, Trump is building something entirely different — a new architecture of power based on regional independence, not global dependence. His quiet campaign in the Western Hemisphere may one day be remembered as the second Monroe Doctrine.

Venezuela sits at the center of it all. It holds the world’s largest crude oil reserves — oil perfectly suited for America’s Gulf refineries. For years, China and Russia have treated Venezuela like a pawn on their chessboard, offering predatory loans in exchange for control of those resources. The result has been a corrupt, communist state sitting in our own back yard. For too long, Washington shrugged. Not any more.The naval exercises in the Caribbean, the sanctions, the patrols — they’re not about drug smugglers. They’re about evicting China from our hemisphere.

Trump is using the old “drug war” playbook to wage a new kind of war — an economic and strategic one — without firing a shot at our actual enemies. The goal is simple: Keep the hemisphere’s oil, minerals, and manufacturing within the Western family and out of Beijing’s hands.

Beyond Venezuela

Just east of Venezuela lies Guyana, a country most Americans couldn’t find on a map a year ago. Then ExxonMobil struck oil, and suddenly Guyana became the newest front in a quiet geopolitical contest. Washington is helping defend those offshore platforms, build radar systems, and secure undersea cables — not for charity, but for strategy. Control energy, data, and shipping lanes, and you control the future.

Moreover, Colombia — a country once defined by cartels — is now positioned as the hinge between two oceans and two continents. It guards the Panama Canal and sits atop rare-earth minerals every modern economy needs. Decades of American presence there weren’t just about cocaine interdiction; they were about maintaining leverage over the arteries of global trade. Trump sees that clearly.

All of these recent news items — from the military drills in the Caribbean to the trade negotiations — reflect a new vision of American power. Not global policing. Not endless nation-building. It’s about strategic sovereignty.

It’s the same philosophy driving Trump’s approach to NATO, the Middle East, and Asia. We’ll stand with you — but you’ll stand on your own two feet. The days of American taxpayers funding global security while our own borders collapse are over.

Trump’s Monroe Doctrine

Critics will call it “isolationism.” It isn’t. It’s realism. It’s recognizing that America’s strength comes not from fighting other people’s wars but from securing our own energy, our own supply lines, our own hemisphere. The first Monroe Doctrine warned foreign powers to stay out of the Americas. The second one — Trump’s — says we’ll defend them, but we’ll no longer be their bank or their babysitter.

Historians may one day mark this moment as the start of a new era — when America stopped apologizing for its own interests and started rebuilding its sovereignty, one barrel, one chip, and one border at a time.

Antifa isn’t “leaderless” — It’s an organized machine of violence

Jeff J Mitchell / Staff | Getty Images

The mob rises where men of courage fall silent. The lesson from Portland, Chicago, and other blue cities is simple: Appeasing radicals doesn’t buy peace — it only rents humiliation.

Parts of America, like Portland and Chicago, now resemble occupied territory. Progressive city governments have surrendered control to street militias, leaving citizens, journalists, and even federal officers to face violent anarchists without protection.

Take Portland, where Antifa has terrorized the city for more than 100 consecutive nights. Federal officers trying to keep order face nightly assaults while local officials do nothing. Independent journalists, such as Nick Sortor, have even been arrested for documenting the chaos. Sortor and Blaze News reporter Julio Rosas later testified at the White House about Antifa’s violence — testimony that corporate media outlets buried.

Antifa is organized, funded, and emboldened.

Chicago offers the same grim picture. Federal agents have been stalked, ambushed, and denied backup from local police while under siege from mobs. Calls for help went unanswered, putting lives in danger. This is more than disorder; it is open defiance of federal authority and a violation of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause.

A history of violence

For years, the legacy media and left-wing think tanks have portrayed Antifa as “decentralized” and “leaderless.” The opposite is true. Antifa is organized, disciplined, and well-funded. Groups like Rose City Antifa in Oregon, the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club in Texas, and Jane’s Revenge operate as coordinated street militias. Legal fronts such as the National Lawyers Guild provide protection, while crowdfunding networks and international supporters funnel money directly to the movement.

The claim that Antifa lacks structure is a convenient myth — one that’s cost Americans dearly.

History reminds us what happens when mobs go unchecked. The French Revolution, Weimar Germany, Mao’s Red Guards — every one began with chaos on the streets. But it wasn’t random. Today’s radicals follow the same playbook: Exploit disorder, intimidate opponents, and seize moral power while the state looks away.

Dismember the dragon

The Trump administration’s decision to designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization was long overdue. The label finally acknowledged what citizens already knew: Antifa functions as a militant enterprise, recruiting and radicalizing youth for coordinated violence nationwide.

But naming the threat isn’t enough. The movement’s financiers, organizers, and enablers must also face justice. Every dollar that funds Antifa’s destruction should be traced, seized, and exposed.

This fight transcends party lines. It’s not about left versus right; it’s about civilization versus anarchy. When politicians and judges excuse or ignore mob violence, they imperil the republic itself. Americans must reject silence and cowardice while street militias operate with impunity.

Antifa is organized, funded, and emboldened. The violence in Portland and Chicago is deliberate, not spontaneous. If America fails to confront it decisively, the price won’t just be broken cities — it will be the erosion of the republic itself.

URGENT: Supreme Court case could redefine religious liberty

Drew Angerer / Staff | Getty Images

The state is effectively silencing professionals who dare speak truths about gender and sexuality, redefining faith-guided speech as illegal.

This week, free speech is once again on the line before the U.S. Supreme Court. At stake is whether Americans still have the right to talk about faith, morality, and truth in their private practice without the government’s permission.

The case comes out of Colorado, where lawmakers in 2019 passed a ban on what they call “conversion therapy.” The law prohibits licensed counselors from trying to change a minor’s gender identity or sexual orientation, including their behaviors or gender expression. The law specifically targets Christian counselors who serve clients attempting to overcome gender dysphoria and not fall prey to the transgender ideology.

The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The law does include one convenient exception. Counselors are free to “assist” a person who wants to transition genders but not someone who wants to affirm their biological sex. In other words, you can help a child move in one direction — one that is in line with the state’s progressive ideology — but not the other.

Think about that for a moment. The state is saying that a counselor can’t even discuss changing behavior with a client. Isn’t that the whole point of counseling?

One‑sided freedom

Kaley Chiles, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado Springs, has been one of the victims of this blatant attack on the First Amendment. Chiles has dedicated her practice to helping clients dealing with addiction, trauma, sexuality struggles, and gender dysphoria. She’s also a Christian who serves patients seeking guidance rooted in biblical teaching.

Before 2019, she could counsel minors according to her faith. She could talk about biblical morality, identity, and the path to wholeness. When the state outlawed that speech, she stopped. She followed the law — and then she sued.

Her case, Chiles v. Salazar, is now before the Supreme Court. Justices heard oral arguments on Tuesday. The question: Is counseling a form of speech or merely a government‑regulated service?

If the court rules the wrong way, it won’t just silence therapists. It could muzzle pastors, teachers, parents — anyone who believes in truth grounded in something higher than the state.

Censored belief

I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained by God. I believe that family — mother, father, child — is central to His design for humanity.

I believe that men and women are created in God’s image, with divine purpose and eternal worth. Gender isn’t an accessory; it’s part of who we are.

I believe the command to “be fruitful and multiply” still stands, that the power to create life is sacred, and that it belongs within marriage between a man and a woman.

And I believe that when we abandon these principles — when we treat sex as recreation, when we dissolve families, when we forget our vows — society fractures.

Are those statements controversial now? Maybe. But if this case goes against Chiles, those statements and others could soon be illegal to say aloud in public.

Faith on trial

In Colorado today, a counselor cannot sit down with a 15‑year‑old who’s struggling with gender identity and say, “You were made in God’s image, and He does not make mistakes.” That is now considered hate speech.

That’s the “freedom” the modern left is offering — freedom to affirm, but never to question. Freedom to comply, but never to dissent. The same movement that claims to champion tolerance now demands silence from anyone who disagrees. The root of this case isn’t about therapy. It’s about erasing a worldview.

The real test

No matter what happens at the Supreme Court, we cannot stop speaking the truth. These beliefs aren’t political slogans. For me, they are the product of years of wrestling, searching, and learning through pain and grace what actually leads to peace. For us, they are the fundamental principles that lead to a flourishing life. We cannot balk at standing for truth.

Maybe that’s why God allows these moments — moments when believers are pushed to the wall. They force us to ask hard questions: What is true? What is worth standing for? What is worth dying for — and living for?

If we answer those questions honestly, we’ll find not just truth, but freedom.

The state doesn’t grant real freedom — and it certainly isn’t defined by Colorado legislators. Real freedom comes from God. And the day we forget that, the First Amendment will mean nothing at all.
