Glenn explains the simple answers to complex problems in a MUST WATCH monologue

I just want to talk to you here about the answers that are really, really simple. It’s not easy, but they are simple. Because our problems seem so complex, and I think that’s why everybody is having such a problem right now, because out of the day-to-day burdens, you know, some people are out of work, just going to the grocery stores, going to the grocery stores and seeing the price of food now, how much stress is that adding?

How much stress is that adding to already tough relationships or people who have addictions or just the guilt of life that washes over you? My gosh, it’s tough. Then you add on top of all of that stress, all of the national and global problems. You have unrest. You have war. You have disease. You have the division. I mean, the guy who is the nephew of the guy who died of the Ebola virus, he was black. He was on CNN and said if this would have been a white guy, they wouldn’t have let him die. Oh my gosh, you have got to be kidding me.

All of these things are happening right now, and they are so big, none of us can get our arms around. And it makes us feel small but in a bad way because sometimes it’s good to remember how small we really are. And I want to explain this. I think this is because we’ve stopped looking up.

We gather in our cities. We are surrounded by massive skyscrapers, monuments to man. And when I was in New York City just a couple of weeks ago, I was walking down the street, and I look up, and all these huge, huge buildings. And I was amazed at what man could do, but you don’t see anything other than planes, which another monument to man, you don’t see anything in the night sky because the lights of the city block everything out. Maybe you see the clouds, but that’s it.

But if we would just stop for a second and fix our eyes above the clouds, if we would look way up into the sky, and we would take the time to do what we used to do when we were kids and see the artistry, the canvas in the sky that is so grand and so vast, a brilliant masterpiece, something that we cannot get our arms around in a good way. Our cute little buildings pale in comparison. We look at our buildings, we’re like that’s nothing, look at what that is. And then you start to ask the hard questions.

This summer, I went camping with my kids at the ranch. I don’t know what it is, but, you know, we had warm, comfortable beds inside, but instead we went and put sleeping bags out on the ground. And we all smelled like smoke, and we all slept on a rock, but there was something good about it. And I think what’s good about it is that time sitting here cooking your food, smelling the smoke, and as the fire starts to go down, looking up and having conversations about the sky and then laying down in the sleeping bag at night and telling stories.

I mean, we told stories all night, and I told, you know, ghost stories all night like this. And being able to sit there and look up at the sky, eventually it becomes quiet, and it is humbling to look out into the universe and realize the earth is just a mere flicker in the sky to some planet even in our solar system, and humanity is just a tiny, tiny speck on that flicker.

Now you’re starting to feel small, but just wait, because when you see the planets, and they look so small, and you can identify the planets, when you compare the earth to the rest of the solar system, now you really start to feel small. I saw this this morning driving in. I saw this comparison and some of the pictures from the Hubble telescope, and I thought look at the earth compared to Saturn and Jupiter, okay? Now throw in the sun. Look at how small we are compared to the sun.

But even the sun is small when you look at another sun, Sirius, in another solar system in our galaxy. When you see our sun next to some of these other suns in our galaxy, you realize we are nothing, and what we see with our naked eye really is nothing. It’s scratching the surface.

Years ago, they launched something called the Hubble telescope, and it was put up there to get past all of the light pollution of the earth and really look up into the heavens. And it captures the images of the universe. It used an infrared camera recently to zero in on a very small space, a little area that’s right by the moon. There is the moon. You can see right next to it a little teeny area that appeared to be empty.

The area is one-tenth the size of the moon. So what could we find in the dark looking up in that little teeny space? Well, they took photographs of that tiny little area, and they zoomed deeper and deeper and deeper into the universe, deeper than anything ever before using an exposure time, leaving that camera open for 23 days, capturing as much light as they could. They captured color images, and then they began to really look at them.

The results are mind-boggling. Remember, this is an area that looks like it’s blank, a little empty space, even to the Hubble telescope, a sliver of the sky less than 1% of the size of the area of the moon. In that area, it actually contained 5,500 galaxies that we could see and count, not stars, galaxies, not solar systems, galaxies. Each of those little dots in that picture of the Hubble telescope, invisible to you and me, is the entire galaxy that contains billions of its own stars.

Look at how many galaxies there are, billions of stars and planets. One of the galaxies they found is so big that it contradicts the current scientific theory. They once said before they saw this a galaxy cannot be that big because it will just fly apart. This thing is absolutely enormous. They didn’t think it could even exist, yet it does. So even the very best minds in the world don’t have the answers. They don’t even have close to the answers, and yet we listen to them and build monuments to the men of the earth when really maybe we should spend more time in the dark by a fire with our kids looking up and pondering.

How many of these empty spaces are there? Imagine all that is just outside of the envelope of earth that we can discover—thousands more galaxies in each little sliver of space, trillions and trillions more stars. This is just one tiny empty space in the sky. Now we are beginning to feel how small we are. If the problems of the day make you feel small, oh, look up; get away from the cities and look up.

With every passing moment in the universe, it expands, which means we’re getting even smaller. We are small, but don’t mistake small for insignificant. We are also truly unique. There are so many things that divide us: color, language, race, income, you name it, whatever it is. When you think about it, we are in the most exclusive club in all of the universe. We’re humans. We’re earthlings. Life…out of trillions of stars and countless galaxies, to the date, we’re the only sign of life. There is nothing even close.

If we happen to find one of us, somehow or another we were transported onto one of these distant galaxies, can you imagine finding—I could meet President Obama. He would be out in space, and I suddenly join him there, and I’d be like, “My gosh, earthling…” We have everything in common.

Life is a ridiculously awesome miracle, and yet we don’t even notice that anymore. We don’t value life. With each passing day, we seem to devalue life, and we begin to believe our problems are so huge, they’re not even our problems. Our biggest problems in the world are still unbelievably small. And how many of us even get down—we never worry about the earth crashing into the sun.

I mean, you’ve got to be kidding me. If God can create all of this, if God can keep everything in order and built everything to stay in order, and none of us fly off the earth, the earth doesn’t spin out of control, how is it we don’t have faith that he could handle us making it to the next payday?

Life is a miracle. If you believe that some molecules just got together in some bowl of primordial soup, guess what, you may not believe in God, but you believe life is a miracle too because that’s even more miraculous than if a really smart something created us. The point is we have more in common than not. Why are we at each other’s throats right now? The bonds that bring us together are stronger than those that tear us apart.

If we would all just take the time to fix our gaze beyond the relatively feeble monuments to man and stop listening to those who seek to divide us, and if our voices are those divisive voices, we stop, maybe we can find a way back to each other. Minimum wage, income inequality, the name of a stupid football game, really? Republicans, Democrats, you’ve got to be kidding me.

We’re in the most unique club in the universe. Surely our existence amounts to more than what the minimum and maximum salary someone can earn is. Surely we can start to aim higher. Surely life is worth it.

I really truly believe as I spent the summer with my kids out by a fire a lot like this, except ours didn’t strangely have a yellow light bulb in it, and then when I went to New York, and I looked up in the sky that was covered by the lights of man, I really came to the conclusion that I think one of the reasons we can see the stars is they were placed in the sky to humble us, to remind us our huge problems are just tiny, tiny particles, easily handled by the one who spoke all of this into existence and to remind us to look up, because when we do, our solutions are very, very simple.

Just look past the buildings. Look beyond ourselves. Get the proper perspective on what really matters.

POLL: Does Brooklyn crash expose a cyber sabotage plot?

A Mexican Navy ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge has left the nation stunned, and Glenn is demanding answers.

Are recent devastating ship collisions—first Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in 2024, now Brooklyn in 2025—really just accidents, or is something far more sinister at play? Glenn recently warned that these incidents, both involving foreign vessels losing power near critical U.S. infrastructure, could be “shark bumps” by foreign adversaries testing our defenses through cyber sabotage. With the government and media quick to dismiss concerns, Glenn is calling for urgent investigations into possible hacking, independent audits of our ports and bridges, and a serious look at whether our enemies are exploiting vulnerabilities in our digitized systems.

Glenn wants to know what you think: Are these crashes coincidental, or are we under attack? Let us know in the poll below:

Could the recent ship crashes into American bridges be the result of cyber attacks by foreign adversaries?

Should the US government investigate these incidents for possible foreign interference?

Is our critical infrastructure adequately protected from cyber threats?

Are you concerned that foreign adversaries might be targeting US infrastructure through cyber means?

Do you think the media and government are properly addressing the security concerns raised by these incidents?

Glenn: Tapper reveals Dems’ Biden health fraud

Top Democrats knew Biden’s health was deteriorating but covered it up to keep power. Jake Tapper’s book finally lifts the lid on their deception.

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s new book confirms what we suspected all along: Joe Biden’s health was rapidly declining, and the Democratic Party establishment knew it. Rather than be honest with the American people, they chose to cover it up, to prop up Biden just long enough to survive the election cycle. And the media helped them do it.

For years, any mention of Biden’s cognitive decline was framed as a “right-wing smear,” a baseless conspiracy theory. But now, Tapper and Thompson reveal that Biden’s top aides privately discussed the need for a wheelchair after the election — because the man can hardly walk.

We had no functioning president for much of the past administration.

And while Biden’s closest aides were planning that, they and their allies in the press were publicly spinning the fantasy that Joe Biden’s halting gait was due to a heroic foot fracture from a dog-related incident four years ago. They said his frailty was due to his “vigor.” That’s not a joke. That’s a quote.

And while they said this, they were having special shoes made for him with custom-made soles to help him stand. They weren’t planning for a second term. They were planning how to prop him up — literally — just long enough to survive the election. That is a cover-up.

It doesn’t bother me that Biden might need a wheelchair. What bothers me — what should bother every American — is that his aides talked about hiding it until after the election.

Biden wasn’t leading

Needing a wheelchair in your 80s is not a moral failing. It’s human. I own President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s wheelchair — it sits in my museum. That chair represents the strength and resilience of a man who, despite paralysis, led this nation through World War II against a dictator who was gassing the disabled and infirm. He hid his disability out of fear the public wouldn’t accept a leader who couldn’t walk. But he led.

But Joe Biden wasn’t leading. He was a puppet played by faceless swamp creatures whose only concern was maintaining their iron grip on power.

Whatever you think of Tapper, the book reveals the chilling reality that we had no functioning president for much of Biden’s administration. Our commander-in-chief wasn’t just aging — he was declining. And the people around him — government employees, funded by your tax dollars — weren’t honest with you. They lied to you repeatedly and willfully because the truth would have guaranteed a second Trump term. That’s what this was all about.

Who signed the pardons?

Consider the implications of this revelation. We had a president signing documents he didn’t read — or even know about. We had an autopen affixing his name to executive actions. Who operated that autopen? Who decided what got signed or who got pardoned? Who was in charge while the president didn’t even know what he was doing?

Those are not minor questions. That is the stuff of a constitutional crisis.

The problem isn’t Biden’s age. The problem is that the people you elected didn’t run the country. You were governed by unelected aides covering up your elected president’s rapid cognitive decline. You were fed a lie — over and over again. And if anyone tried to blow the whistle, they got buried.

Don’t get distracted by the wheelchair. The chair itself is not the scandal. The scandal is that people inside your government didn’t want you to know about it.

They made a bet: Lie until November, and deal with the fallout later. That is an insult to the American people — and a threat to the republic itself. Because if your government can lie about who’s running the country, what else are they lying about?

We need further investigation and to hold these crooks accountable. If we don’t, it will happen over and over again.

The Woodrow Wilson strategy to get out of Mother’s Day

Stock Montage / Contributor, Xinhua News Agency / Contributor | Getty Images

I’ve got a potentially helpful revelation that’s gonna blow the lid off your plans for this Sunday. It’s Mother’s Day.

Yeah, that sacred day where you’re guilt-tripped into buying flowers, braving crowded brunch buffets, and pretending you didn’t forget to mail the card. But what if I told you… you don’t have to do it? That’s right, there’s a loophole, a get-out-of-Mother’s-Day-free card, and it’s stamped with the name of none other than… Woodrow Wilson (I hate that guy).

Back in 1914, ol’ Woody Wilson signed a proclamation that officially made Mother’s Day a national holiday. Second Sunday in May, every year. He said it was a day to “publicly express our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.” Sounds sweet, right? Until you peel back the curtain.

See, Wilson wasn’t some sentimental guy sitting around knitting doilies for his mom. No, no, no. This was a calculated move.

The idea for Mother’s Day had been floating around for decades, pushed by influential voices like Julia Ward Howe. By 1911, states were jumping on the bandwagon, but it took Wilson to make it federal. Why? Because he was a master of optics. This guy loved big, symbolic gestures to distract from the real stuff he was up to, like, oh, I don’t know, reshaping the entire federal government!

So here’s the deal: if you’re looking for an excuse to skip Mother’s Day, just lean into this. Say, “Sorry, Mom, I’m not celebrating a holiday cooked up by Woodrow Wilson!” I mean, think about it – this is the guy who gave us the Federal Reserve, the income tax, and don’t even get me started on his assault on basic liberties during World War I. You wanna trust THAT guy with your Sunday plans? I don’t think so! You tell your mom, “Look, I love you, but I’m not observing a Progressive holiday. I’m keeping my brunch money in protest.”

Now, I know what you might be thinking.

“Glenn, my mom’s gonna kill me if I try this.” Fair point. Moms can be scary. But hear me out: you can spin this. Tell her you’re honoring her EVERY DAY instead of some government-mandated holiday. You don’t need Wilson’s permission to love your mom! You can bake her a cake in June, call her in July, or, here’s a wild idea, visit her WITHOUT a Woodrow Wilson federal proclamation guilting you into it.

Shocking Christian massacres unveiled

Is a Christian Genocide unfolding overseas?

Recent reports suggest an alarming escalation in violence against Christians, raising questions about whether these acts constitute genocide under international law. Recently, Glenn hosted former U.S. Army Special Forces Sniper Tim Kennedy, who discussed a predictive model that forecasts a surge in global Christian persecution for the summer of 2025.

From Africa to Asia and the Middle East, extreme actions—some described as genocidal—have intensified over the past year. Over 380 million Christians worldwide face high levels of persecution, a number that continues to climb. With rising international concern, the United Nations and human rights groups are urging protective measures by the global community. Is a Christian genocide being waged in the far corners of the globe? Where are they taking place, and what is being done?

India: Hindu Extremist Violence Escalates

In India, attacks on Christians have surged as Hindu extremist groups gain influence within the country. In February 2025, Hindu nationalist leader Aadesh Soni organized a 50,000-person rally in Chhattisgarh, where he called for the rape and murder of all Christians in nearby villages and demanded the execution of Christian leaders to erase Christianity. Other incidents include forced conversions, such as a June 2024 attack in Chhattisgarh, where a Hindu mob gave Christian families a 10-day ultimatum to convert to Hinduism. In December 2024, a Christian man in Uttar Pradesh was attacked, forcibly converted, and paraded while the mob chanted "Death to Jesus."

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recommends designating India a "Country of Particular Concern" and imposing targeted sanctions on those perpetrating these attacks. The international community is increasingly alarmed by the rising tide of religious violence in India.

Syria: Sectarian Violence Post-Regime Change

Following the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024, Syria has seen a wave of sectarian violence targeting religious minorities, including Christians, with over 1,000 killed in early 2025. It remains unclear whether Christians are deliberately targeted or caught in broader conflicts, but many fear persecution by the new regime or extremist groups. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a dominant rebel group and known al-Qaeda splinter group now in power, is known for anti-Christian sentiments, heightening fears of increased persecution.

Christians, especially converts from Islam, face severe risks in the unstable post-regime environment. The international community is calling for humanitarian aid and protection for Syria’s vulnerable minority communities.

Democratic Republic of Congo: A "Silent Genocide"

In February 2025, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an ISIS-affiliated group, beheaded 70 Christians—men, women, and children—in a Protestant church in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, after tying their hands. This horrific massacre, described as a "silent genocide" reminiscent of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has shocked the global community.

Since 1996, the ADF and other militias have killed over six million people, with Christians frequently targeted. A Christmas 2024 attack killed 46, further decimating churches in the region. With violence escalating, humanitarian organizations are urging immediate international intervention to address the crisis.
