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!

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.

5 videos that reveal the WOKE GARBAGE being taught to our kids

School today is not like it used to be...

Glenn recently covered how our medical schools have been taken over by gender-affirming, anti-racist, woke garbage, and unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Education at all levels has been compromised by progressive ideology. From high-level university academics to grade school, American children are constantly being bombarded by the latest backward propaganda from the left. Luckily, in the age of Zoom classes and smartphones, it's harder for teachers to get away their agenda in secret. Here are five videos that show just how corrupt schools really are:

Woke teacher vandalizes pro-life display

Professor Shellyne Rodriguez, an art professor at Hunter College in New York, was caught on camera having a violent argument with a group of pro-life students who were tabling on campus. Rodriguez was later fired from her position after threatening a reporter from the New York Post, who was looking into this incident, with a machete.

Woke professor argues with student after he called police heroes

An unnamed professor from Cypress College was captured having a heated discussion with a student over Zoom. The professor verbally attacked the student, who had given a presentation on "cancel culture" and his support of law enforcement. The university later confirmed that the professor was put on leave after the incident.

Professor goes on Anti-Trump rant

Professor Olga Perez Stable Cox was filmed by a student going on an anti-Trump rant during her human-sexuality class at Orange Coast College. This rant included Professor Cox describing Trump's election as "an act of terrorism”. The student who filmed this outburst was suspended for an entire semester along with several other punishments, including a three-page apology essay to Professor Cox explaining his actions. Orange Coast College continues to defend Professor Cox, citing the student code of conduct.

Unhinged teacher caught on video going on left-wing political rant

Lehi High School teacher Leah Kinyon was filmed amid a wild, left-wing rant during a chemistry class. Kinyon made several politically charged remarks, which included encouraging students to get vaccinated and calling President Trump a "literal moron." Despite her claims that the school admins "don't give a crap" about her delusional ramblings, a statement from Lehi High School reveals that she "is no longer an employee of Alpine School District."

Far-left Berkeley law professor melts down when a Senator asks her if men can get pregnant

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Berkeley Law Professor Khiara M. Bridges was asked by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley to clarify earlier statements involving "people with a capacity for pregnancy." The senator's line of questioning is met with a long-winded, frantic rant accusing the senator of being transphobic. When Sen. Hawley tries to clarify further, Professor Bridges makes the outrageous claim that such a line of questioning somehow leads to trans suicides.

Woke ideology trumps medicine in America's top 5 medical schools

Progressive ideology has infected our most prestigious medical schools and is seeping into our medical system.

As Glenn covered in his latest TV special, "diversity, equity and inclusion" (DEI), and leftist rhetoric have overtaken science and medicine as the focus of medical schools across the nation. The next generation of doctors and nurses is being force-fed DEI and "anti-racist" nonsense at the expense of slipping standards. This has led to a decline in people's trust in the medical industry and for good reason. Woke ideology has already been the driving force behind at least one medical malpractice case, and more are undoubtedly on the way.

All of this is being spearheaded by universities, which have integrated DEI practices into the fabric of their programs. Our top medical schools now require students and staff to participate in mandatory DEI and "anti-racist" classes and training and are adjusting the standards to reflect this new shift in focus. Here are 5 statements from the top American medical schools that show that medicine is no longer their primary focus:

“As members of HMS, we each have a responsibility to create an inclusive community that values all individuals. Barriers to inclusion may include assumptions we make about others that guide our interactions. Recognizing our Unconscious Bias is a critical step in developing a culture of equity and inclusion within HMS and in our partnerships with other communities.”

“We openly acknowledge the role of structural forces of oppression as primary drivers of the disparate health outcomes. We believe that working to reverse the underrepresentation of historically excluded groups is critical in achieving equitable health outcomes. While this is an ongoing journey for our program, here are some of the tangible steps we have taken to achieve an inclusive culture”

"Courses are being revised to be more inclusive and informed by the key principle of race as a social construct and a social determinant of health. We are training faculty that Anti-Racism is not an add-on to a course. Anti-Racism is a pedagogy - a manner of teaching, designing courses, and measuring learning outcomes. We make sure that the classroom environment is inclusive by holding space for respectful conversation and ensuring that we address any “classroom ruptures”– a disorienting dilemma or situation when a bias or microaggression that may occur, providing real time opportunities for professional development, learning, and growth. Racist actions and remarks are never tolerated at Columbia University and will be dealt with following established protocols."

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.

Top 5 MOST EVIL taxes the government extorts from you

"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." -Ben Franklin

The injustice of taxation has been a core issue for Americans since the very beginning of our country, and it's a problem we have yet to resolve. This belief was recently reignited in many Americans earlier this month on tax day when the numbers were crunched and it was discovered that the government was somehow owed even more hard-earned money. As Glenn recently discussed on his show, it's getting to be impossible for most Americans to afford to live comfortably, inflation is rising, and our politicians keep getting richer.

The taxpayer's burden is heavier than ever.

The government is not above some real low blows either. While taxes are a necessary evil, some taxes stretch the definition of "necessary" and emphasize the "evil." Here are the top five most despicable taxes that are designed to line the IRS coffers at your expense:

Income Tax

"It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." -Ben Franklin

On February 24th, 2024 we hit a very unfortunate milestone, the 101st anniversary of the 16th Amendment, which authorized federal income tax. Where does the government get the right to steal directly out of your paycheck?

Death Taxes

Dan Mullan / Staff | Getty Images

"Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes" -George Harrison

Not even in death can you escape the cold pursuit of the tax collector. It's not good enough that you have to pay taxes on everything you buy and every penny you make your entire life. Now the feds want a nice slice, based on the entire value of your estate, that can be as much as 40 percent. Then the state government gets to stick their slimy fingers all over whatever remains before your family is left with the crumbs. It's practically grave-robbery.

Payroll

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." -John Marshall

What's that? The nice chunk of your paycheck the government nabs before you can even get it to the bank wasn't enough? What if the government taxed your employer just for paying you? In essence, you make less than what your agreed pay rate is and it costs your employer more! Absolutely abominable.

Social Security

VALERIE MACON / Contributor | Getty Images

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." -Ronald Reagan

Everyone knows the collapse of Social Security is imminent. It has limped along for years, only sustained by a torrent of tax dollars and the desperate actions of politicians. For decades, people have unwillingly forked over money into the system they will never see again.

FICA

Kevin Dietsch / Staff | Getty Images

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." -Thomas Paine

FICA is the payroll equivalent of Social Security. Your employer has to match however much you pay. It means it costs your employer even more to pay you—again, you'll NEVER see that money. At this point, are you even working for yourself, or are you just here to generate money for the government to frivolously throw away?
