Glenn reveals new plans for reaching Millennials, those who speak a different language

September 25, 2015

Editor

With a studio audience on set Thursday night, Glenn introduced two members of his staff he believes have great potential, who can reach people he can't reach - Millennials.

"We have to understand that people have different languages," Glenn said. "We have maybe the same heart, we have the same principles, but we don’t necessarily speak the same language."

Glenn told viewers to keep an eye out for videos with Lawrence Jones and Audrea Taylor, directed to Millennials, coming out next week.

On a related note, Glenn mentioned the first movie he's going to put out is going to be all done in Spanish, adding, "We have to start speaking other people’s language not expecting them to understand our language."

GLENN: I just want to talk to you guys about how the millennials are not—you’re action oriented, which is different. I grew up having a system. You had to go through the system. You had to get these things done. There is no system for millennials anymore. You see it, you just go. That’s a huge difference. Isn’t it?

LAWRENCE: It is. I think the young people today, they just want to be a part of something. They want something to say that I changed this. I want to be a part of this. I see this happening, and I need to go, just go. A part of what we’re doing is, Audrea and I, is making sure that young people see issues that they may not understand, they just need the information but not how Glenn does it sometimes or how like you do it or the more seasoned.

AUDREA: I think that’s really the key of what we’re getting at, when you connect the dots for millennials of what’s happening in the world and then you connect that to this is how we make a difference, this is how we change the world. Millennials want to make a difference, but we don’t understand what’s happening. Our passion and our heart and what you’ll see on Monday is we want to connect the dots for millennials because I will tell you there is hope for the millennial generation. That’s the key for our nation and for the world because we have these compassionate hearts, and we’re action oriented. We want to make a difference, and we will.

GLENN: Yeah, you need to have the facts. Explain what we’re going to release on Monday.

LAWRENCE: We’re going to release three videos. The first is going to be on the Iran deal. A lot of young people see it on TV, but they really don’t know what it’s about. Then the next is going to be on Planned Parenthood, giving them the facts on why was Planned Parenthood really founded. Who are the key players behind Planned Parenthood? Is it really true that it was founded by Margaret Sanger, who definitely hated anybody that wasn’t white? We’re going to give them that information, and then Audrea, what’s the last one?

AUDREA: The last one is on the clock kid, the bomb kid. What we’re doing is we’re taking these issues, and we’re breaking them down in short videos, all the facts you need to know about them. These are things that live online. They’re short. They’re concise. We need to communicate to the millennial generation the way we communicate, and so we’re really excited about breaking down these issues and doing that.

GLENN: Are these going to be on TheBlaze or GlennBeck.com?

LAWRENCE: TheBlaze is sharing, but it will mostly be on GlennBeck.com.

GLENN: Okay, these two are my little lambs. I am trying to shepherd them without affecting them at all because I think that they have—why do you laugh at that?

LAWRENCE: It’s too late.

AUDREA: We’ve already been affected.

GLENN: Infected would be a better word. I just think you have such great potential, and you guys can reach people that I can’t reach. You just speak a different language. We understand through—once Jesus left and the apostles were like okay, now? Now? He’s like no, I’m going to send something. Just wait. I’m going to send something to you. What he’d sent was the spirit that changed their language.

We have to understand that, that people have different languages. As we talked before we went on the air today, our first movie that we’re going to put out, we think is going to be the first one, is going to be all done in Spanish. It’s because we don’t speak the same language. We just don’t speak the same language. We have maybe the same heart, we have the same principles, but we don’t necessarily speak the same language. We have to start speaking other people’s language, not expecting them to understand our language,

Who will be Kamala Harris' VP pick?

Over the weekend, President Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and put forward his endorsement behind his Vice President Kamala Harris.

Glenn recently predicted that Biden would step down due to the mountain of pressure within his party to do so. But now that we are here we are faced with an all-new line of questions, like, who will be the candidate on the Democratic ticket? Who will be their pick for vice president?

As of now, the answer to the first question seems to be Kamala Harris, who received the support of the president and several prominent democrats. It's still too early to call for certain, and Glenn doesn't think it's likely, but assuming Kamala becomes the Democrat nominee, who will her VP pick be? There are endless possible options, but there are a 5 big names that could prove beneficial to Harris' campaign:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Governor Newsom has spiked in popularity within his party since his taking office in 2019 due to his scathing criticisms of President Trump and other Republicans. Newsom has been a popular contender as a possible Biden replacement, and a future presidential bid seems likely.

His widespread recognition may be a boon to Kamala's ticket, but the California governor comes with a dark side. Newsom was famously nearly recalled as Governor in 2021, hanging on to his office by a narrow margin. He also faced criticism for his hypocrisy during the COVID lockdowns, attending large gatherings while the rest of his state was locked inside. There's also the issue that both Newsom and Kamala are from California, meaning that if they were to appear on the same ticket, that ticket would lack geographical balance and would potentially lead to a Constitutional issue that would force the duo to forfeit all 54 of the states' Electoral College votes.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro

Another prominent Democrat Governor, Josh Shapiro has also been floated as a potential VP pick. Governor Shapiro has become a viable pick due to his well-received performance as Pennslyvania's Governor. The governor has good support within the swing state due to his handling of the I-95 bridge collapse, the train derailment in East Palestine, which had effects on his state, and the assassination attempt on the former president last week. Shapiro would bring much-needed support from the swing state if he was put on the ticket.

That being said, Shapiro has little time to build nationwide name recognition before the DNC in August and the November election. This would be Shapiro's debut on the national stage, and he would find himself in the most unforgiving situation possible.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg

Former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and opponent of Biden during the 2020 Democratic primaries, "Mayor Pete's" name recognition might be what Kamala needs on her presidential ticket. Buttigieg rose to popularity during the 2020 election due to his youth and status as "openly gay." Buttigieg has served as the Secretary of Transportation during the Biden administration for the past four years and has formally endorsed Harris.

Nevertheless, Buttigieg has some dark spots on his resume. The East Palestine train derailment disaster has besmirched his reputation as Secretary of Transportation. And while his youth may work in his favor when compared to the other elderly members of our federal government, it also means Buttigieg lacks the experience and prestige that other politicians enjoy.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

Yet another governor of a crucial swing state, Whitmer was elected in 2018, two years after President Trump was elected, helping secure the state for the Democrats. Whitmer is known for her strong opposition to Trump, both during his presidency and his reelection campaign. Whitmer serves as co-chair for the Biden-Harris campaign and as vice chairperson of the DNC, which gives her influence over the Democratic party, something that would come in handy as a Vice President. Gov. Whitmer also established the Fight Like Hell PAC, which is dedicated to helping Democrats get elected and to stopping Trump by any means.

On the other hand, in a statement following Biden's resignation from the election, Governor Whitmer stated that her role “will remain the same.” It is also worth noting that if she were to be chosen as Kamala's VP, that would make their ticket all-female, which may foster some "woke points," but is politically risky.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear

Andy Bashear has seemingly beaten the odds twice, having been elected and reelected as the Governor of Kentucky, despite the deep-red nature of the state. Beshear, who has moderate tendencies, would be a boon to the Harris campaign as he has a track record of reaching rural, typically conservative regions where Democrats tend to struggle. He is also known for his propensity to talk about his Christian faith and willingness to work with Republicans, which are traits that might help win over moderates.

But, like Gov. Shapiro, Bashear has very little time to whip up national support and recognition. He also is unlikely to be very much help for the Harris campaign in winning over important swing states.

Five times Glenn had J.D. Vance on his show and where he stands on key issues

We finally have an answer to the long-awaited question of who Trump will pick for his running mate, and it's none other than Ohio Senator and friend of the show, J.D. Vance. At the RNC in Milwaukee, Trump officially accepted the party's nomination as the Republican candidate and announced J.D. Vance as his running mate.

Glenn has had Senator Vance on the show several times to discuss everything from DEI to the Southern Border. If you are looking to familiarize yourself with the next potential Vice President, look no further, here are five conversations Glenn had with Trump's VP pick:

How RFK's example can help our nation in the wake of Trump's attack

How did you feel last Saturday when you heard the news that a former president of the United States narrowly avoided an assassin's bullet by a mere few inches? Were you angry at the media for their constant demonization of Trump and his conservative contingency? Did you blame the left for curating a political climate that fostered an assassination attempt?

In his immediate reaction to the news, Glenn pointed us back to a similar moment in American history: April 4th, 1968—the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

"The best speech I've ever heard given was by RFK Sr. on the day Martin Luther King was killed" - Glenn

Robert F. Kennedy, the father of current independent presidential candidate RFK Jr., was en route to Indianapolis when he heard the terrible news. His security team, expecting violent outrage across the country, asked RFK Sr. to turn around and head back to safety. But as Glenn said, RFK Sr. believed in the good in people and demanded to give his speech. He arrived in Indianapolis Park late in the day, and he addressed the crowd of predominantly black campaign supporters.

There were no riots in Indianapolis that night.

The message RFK Sr. gave that night wasn't one of vengeance, hatred, or hopelessness, but of calm and goodness. He appealed to the best in people. He called for people to set aside their differences, anger, fear, and confusion and instead express love and compassion towards one another. RFK Sr. asked for wisdom and the pursuit of justice so that we might be resolute in our unity as the country faces another difficult chapter.

What we need in this country is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another.

Glenn has made a similar plea to our nation—a plea for unity and not to lash out in fear and anger. Don't use this time to blame your friends and family who disagree with you politically for what happened or to tell them "I told you so!" Instead, reach out with compassion and grace. This is a turning point in American history. Let's turn it upward, away from hatred and violence and towards unison and compassion.

Remembering Corey Comperatore: The man who died at the Trump rally protecting his family

Fortunately, President Trump walked away from his attempted assassination with very minor injuries. The bullet that wounded Trump's ear could have just as easily ended his life, and his survival is nothing short of a miracle.

Sadly, that miracle didn't extend to everyone attending Trump's ill-fated Pennsylvania rally. Three other people were shot. David Dutch and James Copenhaver, both Pennslyavia residents, are thankfully in stable condition. Corey Comperatore, however, tragically died after being shot while protecting his wife and daughter from the hail of gunfire.

“Corey died a hero."

Camperatore, a 50-year-old loving father and husband from Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania leaves behind his daughter Allyson, his wife Helen, sister Dawn, and many other friends and family. Camperatore was a man of service, having spent 43 years as part of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company and had worked his way to becoming the fire chief when he stepped down to spend more time with his daughter.

Corey's friends and family have nothing but good things to say about him, and judging by their testimonies, Corey's final heroic act was consistent with how the volunteer firefighter lived his life.

According to many people who knew Compertore, he was a true patriot who loved his country. He was a fan of President Trump. Compertore was very excited to attend Saturday's rally, which he expressed in his last social media post.

During his speech addressing the shooting, President Biden expressed his condolences to the Comperatore family, stating that "He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired.”
