The speech Glenn wanted to give in D.C.

About halfway through Glenn's speech at the "Stop Iran Deal" rally on Wednesday, music started playing to let Glenn know his time was up. He pressed on, and with the crowd's encouragement, the music stopped until Glenn finished his remarks.

But it wasn't the full speech.

On radio Thursday, Glenn revealed to his listeners he'd cut out about 30 percent of what he'd originally prepared.

"The speech I wanted to give in Washington yesterday, because of time I had to edit on the fly as I was speaking. And I want you to hear the words that need to be said," Glenn said.

While apologetic to Tea Party Patriots for exceeding his allotted time, Glenn said he felt it was important to deliver the speech as closely as possible to the way it was written.

"I don't believe I wrote this speech," Glenn said, describing how he'd planned to spend an entire day writing the speech, but the words just flowed and after about fifteen minutes, he was like "okay, I think I'm done."

"And I think it's important that you hear it," Glenn said.

GLENN: We live in really confusing times. The world is suffering under the delusion of peace and prosperity. We've been told that the world is safer and the world economy is safe and that Islamic killers are men of peace.

The confusion that we all feel comes from the abandonment of truth. A truth that's been chased out of the public square, our media, our university, and many of our churches. But God's timing is always divine. Know this, if we fail to restore the truth, God will.

So let's speak the truth. Let's share God's truth to the powers of the earth. I don't think it's a coincidence that when Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Congress last year about Iran, the Torah portion that was studied that week in synagogues all over the world, that millions of Jews learned, was the story of Esther. It was God's message to us.

America, like Esther, has a special role. And we can either recognize it and know that we were born for times such as this and we can stand up and save lives, or we can lose our role and our life.

But once again, God's timing is perfect. As we debate what we're going to do with Iran, this week's Torah portion, we're told that the story of the early Israelites, we're told of the story where Moses stood on the edge of the Promised Land and commanded God's people to choose life over death. He warned them, "If you choose darkness and death, you will be swept from your Promised Land."

I believe we face the same choice today. Choose life and light or death and darkness.

But I actually have somewhat renewed hope that we will choose correctly because, honestly, I feel something is happening in America and around the world. I can't put my finger on it yet, but I know it's good. I know that we're no longer fooled by those who have made good evil and evil good, with Planned Parenthood. We're not fooled by those who call for the killing of our cops.

While we get into bed and run guns in Benghazi, to those who now rape children and sell them into slavery, we realize now that we've been silent for far too long, that we have been told you into some kind of a sensible slumber. And you might feel yourself surrounded by those people today, but there are millions around the world that are waking -- they're shaking themselves and their families. That are coming back into line with eternal principles. Because there's a hunger for truth, unvarnished and authentic.

We accept even to the point that we're not going to like the truth, and we know it's not going to make us comfortable, but we can no longer deny the truth. We return to eternal principles, to stand with God, and in Iran's case, with his chosen people. And make no mistake, that's what the deal with Iran really is all about.

Even though they're not coming for the Jews first, this time, evil has quenched its thirst for blood with the extermination of Christians. Just a few years ago, there were 2 million Christians in Syria. It's now down to 400,000. And the world is silent. There's a genocide already underway. But it's of Christians.

Make no mistake, it will also kill the Muslims that aren't Muslim enough, the homosexual that is homosexual, the women, the children that are just women (sic). Evil will get around to the Jew because it always does.

Who are we?

The world took a vow after the slaughter of innocents in World War II, and we said, "Never again." Well, good God Almighty, never again is now.

Two weeks ago, 30,000 people -- 30,000 came to the same streets that gave birth to a movement that ended the evil of segregation. We marched on the same streets that Martin Luther King marched, and the city of Birmingham said it was the largest march in the city since 1963. It was a civil rights march, but it was more. It was a unity march. People from all backgrounds, all different faiths, all different colors, joining to take a stand, to stand up for victims being slaughtered by terrorists supported by Iran, to rescue those children that have received the mark of the Nazarene, the mark of death.

Our Statue of Liberty cries out to those people. They are the tired, the poor, the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. They are the tempest tossed, but our American government won't take them. We'll transplant entire Somali Muslim communities here, but we stand silently by while Christians are crucified. And even worse, we will fund Iran's goal of vaporizing Israel. In minutes, Iran will be able to accomplish more than Hitler did in a decade.

And those in Washington are giving us this false choice: You take this treaty, or it's war. This is exactly what the world was told just before the breakout of World War II. And the sane and the rational, the educated, were so desperate to avoid war that they sent Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of England to meet with Adolf Hitler. And evil wore its mask. It played the game and spoke the words the world was eager to hear.

I own the letter that Neville Chamberlain wrote to the Hitler youth upon his return to England, explaining to the Hitler youth that their leader Hitler wanted peace just as much as everyone else.

And on his return, the masses cheered as Chamberlain stepped from his airplane and held up that document and announced, "Peace in our day!" Just as it was then, so is it now: A lie.

There can be no peace with people who chant for your death, chant for the death of Jews, chant for the death of anyone. Chamberlain's Accord only gave evil more uncontested time to build the Nazi weapons of death and genocide. Peace in our day was the lie that Hitler promised the West, and it is the lie the ayatollahs whisper today.

And today, our acceptance of this lie -- I don't even know, is it made out of ignorance? Wishful thinking? Desperation? Loyalty to parties? Or is it collusion? We could debate it, but it doesn't matter really which it is. What matters is that the world hears someone -- anyone say, "This is a false premise, and it is a lie."

The only one that can choose war are those who wish to cover the world with their corrupted ideology that Allah is our God and that Allah demands the death of all those who will not submit. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is the God of spirit over flesh. He's a God of love and light over hatred and death.

Today, we must each of us choose the God of life over the false God of death. We must not cower, and we must not compromise. I find it beyond unreasonable or beyond irresponsible to not take seriously when somebody says, "I'm going to kill you." When somebody says, "I'm going to wipe the Jew or the American off the face of the earth," you need to believe them because history shows us time and time again, they mean what they say. To choose to ignore is to cast our lot with what will be a global war that will plunge the world into darkness and death, that will wash this world in blood, unlike anything mankind has ever seen.

So it's not just unreasonable to dismiss or ignore these warnings, it is evil. And all those who make good evil and evil good. To those who excuse or, worse, partner with this evil, they need to know, they're going to be remembered as the Neville Chamberlain or, worse, the Mussolinis of this age. You will not be remembered well.

Yet, those few who choose to stand and most times mocked, ridiculed, or ignored as they stand against the tide of this insanity, I want you to know, you'll be remembered by your children and the world's grandchildren as the righteous men and women of courage. I want the Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I want him to know that I stand with his law, not those that are passed in the chambers of corruption and graphed in greed and iniquity in our capitols all across the country and in Washington, DC.

But what's more, I no longer am going to fight against something. And I ask you to join me, to fight for something. To fight for life. To fight for decency. To fight for the women who are devalued. The homosexuals, who have a right to live. The Jew that has the right to live. Fight for the children who are crucified and who are raped up to ten times every single day, fight for those people. Fight for the light because the light will conquer the darkness.

I pray that my voice somehow or another will get to the prisoners of religious conscience who have been left to rot by. Us. That somehow or another my voice is heard by the freedom fighters who were abandoned by us when they rose up for what was right in Iran. Somehow, that our voice can slip through the bars of the gulags and the torture chambers and the prisons and the rape rooms, to let our brothers and sisters who feel alone, be it in Iran, in Syria, in Tel Aviv or the capitol of Israel, Jerusalem, somehow or another they hear our voices so those who feel vanquished and abandoned know that they are not forgotten. Let them hear us today say that, while there are 34 or 41 senators now who have sold their sold souls to darkness for party or 30 pieces of silver, whatever it is, there are millions of Americans and more around the world that are calling upon the ultimate power in the universe, the Almighty God. And no matter where evil lurks, be it in the councils of power in Washington or Iran or anywhere else in the world, evil needs to be put on notice. The mighty arm of God is rising up, and evil will be defeated.

You should, if you're on the wrong side, you should -- boy, this season of chaos right now, but know it is going to be very short-lived. Because we know how the story ends. Now, God doesn't pick sides. Because all of us are God's children. But he does require us to choose sides.

Rest assured, one way or another, evil's days are numbered, as are the days of those who rule are fear, terror, death, backroom deals and corruption. Everybody should be put on notice today. You can play your games. You can count your votes. You can -- to those who say that they're going to drive the Jew into the sea, you might think you've won, but understand this: First of all, you haven't seen America for who we really are in over 70 years. And you have no idea who God is.

You've poked this bear one too many times. America may be delayed, but God's not going to be delayed. To those in the prisons and the rape rooms, they should know their prayers have been heard. Your tears and cries for help will be answered. He is going to comfort the poor in spirit. He will heal the sick. He will mourn with those who mourn. He will open up the doors of the prisons and the rape rooms. And here's the message to America, he's going to do these things with or without us. Which side are you on?

Know if you choose the wrong side now, you're going to pay a heavy eternal price. And make no mistake, treaty or none, the nation of Israel is going to stand.

No Jew in Europe would have believed in 1944 that God would use that never-ending night to hold true to his promise and restore the nation of Israel in just a few short years after, but that's exactly what he did. His ways are not our ways, and he's going to do the same thing again in his time and in his way. This era of confusion and error, these days of darkness, they're going to end because our God is a God of covenants. But that's a double-edged sword. We as a people must understand, God's going to keep all of his promises, not just the ones we like.

He has told us clearly he's going to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. I want you to understand that this too shall be fulfilled. Our actions as a nation and as individuals, what we do today will seal our fate. So we have to be very, very clear. We shall serve no king other than God.

I beg all those with eyes to see and ears to hear, that I believe this is the last call to return to our roots. We are dangerously close to the end of that hedge of protection. We must choose life because the hour is later than we think and the morning will come. And I warn anyone who wishes to stand on the sidelines, anyone who just wants to claim ignorance, anyone who even wants to say, "I don't know what to do. I'm helpless." Not to stand is to stand. Not to speak is to speak. There aren't going to be any spectators in this struggle. And God is not going to hold any of us blameless.

We're told by the people in Washington that we have to give in on this treaty and just about everything else. We have to give in or the world will abandon us. First of all, I don't think that's true. But if it is true, good.

We're supposed to be that shining city on the hill. That's who we are. That's our purpose. We're supposed to be the light in a world of darkness. We're supposed to be the ones that take a stand for morality when no one else will. We're supposed to be the ones who will fight for those who cannot protect themselves.

So while everybody else is freaking out, I say, "Let the world abandon us." Because if that's who they are, America is going to be better off standing alone.

There's a really powerful quote from Maimonides. He has the wisdom of the ancients. It's the message that each individual stand. Each individual that stands now is responsible for the entire world.

He said, "A person should always look to himself as equally balanced between merit and sin and the world as equally balanced between merit and sin. And if he performs one sin, he tips the balance and that of the entire world to the side of guilt and brings destruction upon himself. On the other hand, if he performs one good deed, he tips the balance and that of the entire world to the side of merit and brings delivers and salvation to himself and others."

I think this is what's meant in Proverbs 10, where it says, "A righteous man is the foundation of the world." I wish I could explain this so people could really hear it and understand what I mean. But this is a time of giants. This -- it's now for a new generation of men and women that the world will look to, those who are going to move beyond the empty words and broken promises. It is time to stand and act, to bend the arc of history towards truth and justice and love, to tip the balance of the entire world to merit, and save it.

Bill O'Reilly asked me the other night why I -- "Why are you going? Why are you going to speak in Washington at this rally? This has already been decided."

I want to remind people that you don't need to have a vote on the floor of the Senate or in the halls of Congress to change the world. To be the foundation of the universe, all you need is a conscience and the stamina to perform one good deed and then another and then another. While the world hangs in the balance, we have to be good.

Too many members of our government lack the courage to choose life. But we, the people, will rise up and choose life for ourselves and life for the planet. To the vulnerable victims of an enriched and emboldened Iran, let the message go forth, "We will not abandon you." We resolve now to perform acts of charity and kindness each and every day on a global scale to tip the balance toward merit.

If political maneuvers in Washington can't be relied upon to bring salvation and healing to those in needs, then our hope belongs exactly where it always should have been in the first place, in the redeemer of the world, and then acting as he would act, with billions of acts of goodness and kindness performed by you and me and others of good faith in this country and beyond. More acts of goodness and kindness, this is our commitment. This is the plan of action, to choose life for ourself, to choose life for the victims of Iran in this terrible deal, to choose life for the world during a dark time.

You know, we have seen dark times before. The dark time of the civil war, it's reported that Abraham Lincoln overheard one say, "I hope the Lord is on the Union side." Abraham Lincoln had a sharp rebuke. He looked at him and said, "I'm not concerned about that at all because I know the Lord is always on the side of right. It's my constant anxiety, it's my constant prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."

That's the choice we have to make today, to be on the Lord's side and declare that no matter what, no matter what a few people in our government might decide, we, the people, will stand with Israel because we choose principles over party. We choose love over hate. We choose light over darkness and life over death. We choose that, even in our own lives, knowing that it will be changed forever.

We choose that with the understanding of history, that that road less traveled is one fraught with difficulties and many times jail time and death. But we choose it with confidence because the outcome has already been decided because our God is just. And our God is a God of mercy and our God is a God of life. Our God is a God of power and strength. He's a God that speaks the truth. And he's a God that keeps his promises.

POLL: Does Brooklyn crash expose a cyber sabotage plot?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

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

NurPhoto / Contributor | Getty Images

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

Aldara Zarraoa / Contributor | Getty Images

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

Yawar Nazir / Contributor | Getty Images

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

LOUAI BESHARA / Contributor | Getty Images

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.
