Glenn Has Hugest, Most Special Show Ever — And Mexico Paid for It

February 10, 2016

Writer

It don't get much better than this, folks. Glenn had the most fabulous, most special show ever on Wednesday following the New Hampshire primary. He didn't provide a whole lot of detail on how the show was special --- it just was because he said so. And --- drum roll, please --- China and Mexico paid for the whole shebang. It was "uge."

"Oh, my gosh, this is huge. It's spectacular. It's special. New Hampshire is such a special place. The people are special, and I'll always remember them," Glenn proclaimed.

When asked by co-host Pat Gray if it was the greatest show God ever created, Glenn answered with certainty and bravado.

"I would say that this show that I'm doing --- I'm going to make this show great again --- and I'm going to be remembered as the greatest show host that God has ever created," Glenn said.

Not only was the show "uge," but it was paid for by other countries and businesses.

"This is a beautiful door. And I've made Mexico pay for this door. They paid for this door," Glenn revealed. "I told them they had to pay for it. And look at this beautiful door. That's the way it works. That's the way this show works."

The other fantastic thing that made this show so good, so fast and so strong --- Glenn's new look. He was killin' it with a new sunburned, racoon-eyed look.

"I look good, don't I? Do I look good, beautiful, handsome? The most fabulous guy ever?" Glenn asked.

Actually, he looked a little like Donald Trump during his New Hampshire victory speech.

"Here's what happened," Glenn explained. "Last night I was watching the Donald's speech and I fell asleep in a bed. And I got up this morning and here I am."

Glenn fell asleep in a bed? A regular bed or a tanning bed?

"Let's move on to the show," Glenn said. "We have a beautiful show. A magnificent show. Probably the greatest show that God ever created for you on today's program."

(music)

GLENN: Oh, my gosh, this is huge. It's spectacular. It's special. New Hampshire is such a special place. The people are special. And I'll always remember them.

PAT: Would you say that this is the greatest show that God has ever created?

GLENN: I would say that this show that I'm doing -- I'm going to make this show great again. And I'm going to be remembered as the greatest show host that God has ever created.

STU: You're going to do a show so good and so fast and so strong, believe you.

GLENN: What?

STU: You're going to do a show so good.

GLENN: Yes, so good.

STU: So fast.

GLENN: So fast.

STU: And so strong.

GLENN: And so strong.

STU: Believe you.

GLENN: Believe you.

PAT: No, you would say believe me.

GLENN: Believe me. Okay. I'm going to do a show so good, so fast, so strong. Believe me.

JEFFY: There you go.

PAT: Wow, I do. How could I not?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know.

PAT: How could I not?

GLENN: Ask me how I'm going to do the show.

PAT: How are you going to do the show?

GLENN: I'm going to get Mexico to pay for it.

PAT: How are you going to get Mexico to pay for it?

GLENN: I'm going to get Mexico -- look, it's called we got a show. And we're going to do this show. It's going to have a beautiful -- come here. I just want to show you something.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: I just want to show you something.

PAT: Okay.

GLENN: This is a beautiful wall. Wouldn't you agree this is a beautiful wall?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: And look at this door.

PAT: It's a beautiful door.

GLENN: This is a beautiful door. And I've made Mexico pay for this door. They paid for this door.

PAT: Did they pay for it because you told them they had to? That's a beautiful door.

GLENN: I told them they had to pay for it. And look at this beautiful door. That's the way it works. That's the way this show works.

PAT: Did you just come in legally through that beautiful --

GLENN: I came in legally through that door. And anybody can legally come through that door. As long as I say -- the damn Muslims will stay out of that door, I'll tell you that. We'll keep those damn Muslims out of that door.

PAT: Of course. Because, look, it's called we have a country. And we got to be safe.

GLENN: We got to be safe. And we're going to start winning in this room --

PAT: Just until we understand what's going on. When we figure out what's going on, then Muslims can come back on.

GLENN: Because we don't know what what's going on.

PAT: What's going on? I don't know.

GLENN: I don't know what's going on.

STU: Kind of a vague idea to reverse that policy.

PAT: We'll figure out what's going on. Then we'll let Muslims come back in through that big, beautiful door.

STU: What --

GLENN: It's called we have a show.

JEFFY: It's called management.

GLENN: Can I say this? Do you see that wall? It's beautiful.

STU: It's fine.

GLENN: 18 feet. Probably 18.

PAT: No. Twenty feet maybe.

GLENN: Twenty feet. That's a 20-foot wall here. And I want you to notice. Not only here, but over here. What do you call this?

PAT: I call that a door.

GLENN: What kind of door?

PAT: A beautiful door.

GLENN: That is a beautiful door right here.

PAT: People can come in and out of that door.

GLENN: Beautiful wall, beautiful door. Guess who paid for that?

PAT: Mexico and China.

GLENN: Mexico.

PAT: Just Mexico on that one. Because you said they were going to pay for it?

GLENN: I said they're going to pay for it.

PAT: And they did.

GLENN: Right. That door over here, you know who paid for this door?

PAT: No.

GLENN: Look at this door. We have three days -- actually we have four doors. See this door, this is a beautiful door, right? Know who paid for that one?

PAT: It's a beautiful door. Mexico.

GLENN: Nope. Home Depot. I walked into Home Depot and I said, you're paying for that door. And they said, what do you mean we're paying for that door? And I said, you're paying for that door. You see this one over here, this is a beautiful door.

PAT: Right.

GLENN: Beautiful door. This is the fourth door in this room. See this one. Know who paid for this one?

PAT: That big, beautiful door.

GLENN: That door.

PAT: That's actually a smaller beautiful door than the other big beautiful --

GLENN: Yeah, it's a smaller door. You know who paid for that one?

PAT: Lowe's. Because you told them too.

GLENN: Lowe's paid for that. I walked in and said, you're paying for that door.

STU: Because you have a trade-in balance with Lowe's, where you've been paying them.

GLENN: That's exactly right. They need my money at Lowe's. So I go into Lowe's and I tell them, you know what, this door, you're paying for this door.

PAT: At first I bet they said, no, we're not. That's ridiculous.

GLENN: At first they called the police. But then they paid for the door because I said to.

PAT: Because you said to. Okay.

GLENN: So, anyway --

PAT: I would vote for you for best show.

STU: Yeah. Although I did want to ask one show detail, which is you look a little different today.

GLENN: What do you mean I look different. It's radio show.

STU: Well, we broadcast on TheBlaze TV as well.

GLENN: I look good, don't I? Do I look good, beautiful, handsome? The most fabulous guy ever?

STU: Yes, but it's different.

GLENN: What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying.

PAT: You look a little like Donald --

GLENN: Here's what happened. Last night I was watching the Donald's speech and I fell asleep in a bed. And I got up this morning and here I am. So maybe it's my hair --

STU: You fell asleep in a bed?

GLENN: Let's move on to the show. We have a beautiful show. A magnificent show. Probably the greatest show that God ever created for you on today's program. I really liked the humility of Donald Trump last night. I thought it was really good. I thought -- I like the way he thanked and said congratulations to the other people that lost. It was really nice.

PAT: Wasn't that nice?

GLENN: It was heartfelt. It was uge. It was uge. And sincere. And here it is.

DONALD: You know, when I came out, I heard the end of Bernie's speech, and I heard some of the beginning.

(booing)

DONALD: No, no. First of all, congratulations to Bernie. In all fairness, we have to congratulate him. We may not like it. But I heard parts of Bernie's speech. He wants to give away our country, folks. He wants to give away -- we're not going to let it happen. We're not going to let it happen. I don't know where it's going with Bernie. We wish him a lot of luck. But we are going to make America great again, but we're going to do it the old-fashioned way. We're going to beat China, Japan. We're going to beat Mexico at trade. We're going to beat all of these countries that are taking so much of our money away from us on a daily basis. It's not going to happen anymore.

PAT: It's not going to happen anymore. I love that. You know what else isn't going to happen anymore? Drugs. They're not going to happen anymore.

GLENN: Drugs aren't going to happen anymore?

DONALD: And by the way, for the people of New Hampshire, where you have a tremendous problem with heroin and drugs. You wouldn't even believe it. You see this place and you say, "It's so beautiful." You have a tremendous problem.

The first thing always that they mention to me, "Mr. Trump, please do something. The drugs, the heroin, it's pouring in, and it's so cheap because there's so much of it. And the kids are getting stuck. And other people are getting stuck." We're going to end it. We're going to end it at the southern border. It's going to be over.

PAT: Wow. It's going to be over. Drugs are going to be over.

GLENN: He's going to end it. It's beautiful. Well, he's going to end it at the border. The southern border. Northern border, it will pour in on the northern border. Southern border, not going to pour in anymore.

PAT: Well, there isn't going to be a big, beautiful wall.

JEFFY: People are still going to get stuck. Younger people, older people, they're still going to get stuck from the --

GLENN: No, he's going to end that. He's going to end that. Don't ask for any details. But he'll end that. He's a guy that can get a sunburn in a snowstorm, so he can do things that most people can't do.

PAT: And nobody mentions it.

GLENN: That's the weird thing. That's the weird thing. Nobody seems to want to talk about the odd sunburn that he had from the snowstorm.

STU: So it's like freezer burn?

GLENN: It might be freezer burn. HEP he might have been wearing snow goggles and opened the door and freezer burn on his face.

STU: So you think it's right if people were to mention like a really odd appearance thing that is really --

GLENN: No, I just think that it would be something that somebody might say.

STU: Should bring up?

GLENN: You know, you walk out and you look like you've just been freezer burned. You would think that somebody might casually just say, "Did he look odd?" Here's the thing. My wife walked in last night and she said, "What the hell happened to Donald Trump?" And I said, "What do you mean?" And she said, "Look at him." And I said, "Okay. So it's not just me?" She's like, "No, really. What happened to him? Is he really angry, except for the raccoon part around his eyes?"

JEFFY: Did you see your wife before you left this morning, after you fell asleep in a bed?

GLENN: No, I don't know what you're talking.

JEFFY: Oh.

GLENN: So do you have the part about Donald Trump where he said, "I want to thank all of the other guys. And, you know, look, we got to do it." You didn't get that?

PAT: No.

GLENN: It was really -- go back and look at his speech, and we'll play it later. It was amazing how he talked about the other people. And he begrudgingly said congratulations to everyone else. And okay. There I said it. You didn't hear that? Did anybody notice that?

JEFFY: Well, that's what he did with Bernie there too.

GLENN: Yeah, he said, we got to do it. We don't like it, but we got to do it. But it was even worse when he talked about the other people. He was like, there. Okay. We got it done. We had to do it. Where there was just no -- there was just no graciousness.

PAT: Well, there's none in him.

JEFFY: Yeah.

The Woodrow Wilson Mother's Day loophole

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.

POLL: Starbase exposed: Musk’s vision or corporate takeover?

MIGUEL J. RODRIGUEZ CARRILLO / Contributor | Getty Images

Is Starbase the future of innovation or a step too far?

Elon Musk’s ambitious Starbase project in South Texas is reshaping Boca Chica into a cutting-edge hub for SpaceX’s Starship program, promising thousands of jobs and a leap toward Mars colonization. Supporters see Musk as a visionary, driving economic growth and innovation in a historically underserved region. However, local critics, including Brownsville residents and activists, argue that SpaceX’s presence raises rents, restricts beach access, and threatens environmental harm, with Starbase’s potential incorporation as a city sparking fears of unchecked corporate control. As pro-Musk advocates clash with anti-Musk skeptics, will Starbase unite the community or deepen the divide?

Let us know what you think in the poll below:

Is Starbase’s development a big win for South Texas?

Should Starbase become its own city?

Is Elon Musk’s vision more of a benefit than a burden for the region?

Shocking truth behind Trump-Zelenskyy mineral deal unveiled

Chip Somodevilla / Staff | Getty Images

President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have finalized a landmark agreement that will shape the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations. The agreement focuses on mineral access and war recovery.

After a tense March meeting, Trump and Zelenskyy signed a deal on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, granting the U.S. preferential mineral rights in Ukraine in exchange for continued military support. Glenn analyzed an earlier version of the agreement in March, when Zelenskyy rejected it, highlighting its potential benefits for America, Ukraine, and Europe. Glenn praised the deal’s strategic alignment with U.S. interests, including reducing reliance on China for critical minerals and fostering regional peace.

However, the agreement signed this week differs from the March proposal Glenn praised. Negotiations led to significant revisions, reflecting compromises on both sides. What changes were made? What did each leader seek, and what did they achieve? How will this deal impact the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations and global geopolitics? Below, we break down the key aspects of the agreement.

What did Trump want?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Trump aimed to curb what many perceive as Ukraine’s overreliance on U.S. aid while securing strategic advantages for America. His primary goals included obtaining reimbursement for the billions in military aid provided to Ukraine, gaining exclusive access to Ukraine’s valuable minerals (such as titanium, uranium, and lithium), and reducing Western dependence on China for critical resources. These minerals are essential for aerospace, energy, and technology sectors, and Trump saw their acquisition as a way to bolster U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. Additionally, he sought to advance peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war, positioning the U.S. as a key mediator.

Ultimately, Trump secured preferential—but not exclusive—rights to extract Ukraine’s minerals through the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, as outlined in the agreement. The U.S. will not receive reimbursement for past aid, but future military contributions will count toward the joint fund, designed to support Ukraine’s post-war recovery. Zelenskyy’s commitment to peace negotiations under U.S. leadership aligns with Trump’s goal of resolving the conflict, giving him leverage in discussions with Russia.

These outcomes partially meet Trump’s objectives. The preferential mineral rights strengthen U.S. access to critical resources, but the lack of exclusivity and reimbursement limits the deal’s financial benefits. The peace commitment, however, positions Trump as a central figure in shaping the war’s resolution, potentially enhancing his diplomatic influence.

What did Zelenskyy want?

Zelenskyy sought to sustain U.S. military and economic support without the burden of repaying past aid, which has been critical for Ukraine’s defense against Russia. He also prioritized reconstruction funds to rebuild Ukraine’s war-torn economy and infrastructure. Security guarantees from the U.S. to deter future Russian aggression were a key demand, though controversial, as they risked entangling America in long-term commitments. Additionally, Zelenskyy aimed to retain control over Ukraine’s mineral wealth to safeguard national sovereignty and align with the country’s European Union membership aspirations.

The final deal delivered several of Zelenskyy’s priorities. The reconstruction fund, supported by future U.S. aid, provides a financial lifeline for Ukraine’s recovery without requiring repayment of past assistance. Ukraine retained ownership of its subsoil and decision-making authority over mineral extraction, granting only preferential access to the U.S. However, Zelenskyy conceded on security guarantees, a significant compromise, and agreed to pursue peace talks under Trump’s leadership, which may involve territorial or political concessions to Russia.

Zelenskyy’s outcomes reflect a delicate balance. The reconstruction fund and retained mineral control bolster Ukraine’s economic and sovereign interests, but the absence of security guarantees and pressure to negotiate peace could strain domestic support and challenge Ukraine’s long-term stability.

What does this mean for the future?

Handout / Handout | Getty Images

While Trump didn’t secure all his demands, the deal advances several of his broader strategic goals. By gaining access to Ukraine’s mineral riches, the U.S. undermines China’s dominance over critical elements like lithium and graphite, essential for technology and energy industries. This shift reduces American and European dependence on Chinese supply chains, strengthening Western industrial and tech sectors. Most significantly, the agreement marks a pivotal step toward peace in Europe. Ending the Russia-Ukraine war, which has claimed thousands of lives, is a top priority for Trump, and Zelenskyy’s commitment to U.S.-led peace talks enhances Trump’s leverage in negotiations with Russia. Notably, the deal avoids binding U.S. commitments to Ukraine’s long-term defense, preserving flexibility for future administrations.

The deal’s broader implications align with the vision Glenn outlined in March, when he praised its potential to benefit America, Ukraine, and Europe by securing resources and creating peace. While the final agreement differs from Glenn's hopes, it still achieves key goals he outlined.
