Chalkboard Quiz: Did You Cheer or Jeer on These Obama, Hillary and Trump Issues?

Where do you stand on the bombshell report from the Washington Post that Trump leaked classified intel to the Russians? If true, was it treason? Should he me impeached or step down? Does it even matter if Trump is or isn't qualified to handle sensitive information?

RELATED: Should Mike Pence Ask for the Resignation of the President If Trump Was Negligent?

In analyzing the report, Glenn first asked a series of important, revealing questions. How would you answer?

Enjoy this complimentary or read the transcript for details.

GLENN: All right. Let me talk about the Washington Post. And let me just say, the media and the DNC are celebrating today because they smell blood in the water. And they think this is going to take Donald Trump out. And indeed, it might.

Those on the G.O.P. side and the -- let me put a category out there, the always Trumpers, the ones where Donald Trump could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and they would still be for him, they would still say, "Well, Hillary Clinton." I don't care about Hillary Clinton.

Those people are also not even willing to listen to what the Washington Post actually is saying. They're going -- they're going to read the stories that are combating the Washington Post story without actually reading the original source.

Imagine -- imagine reading the -- the -- all of the professors talking about how bad the Constitution is or how bad the Declaration of Independence is, without actually reading either one of those. Do you think you would get the truth?

You can't argue a story unless you've read the original source. So we did. Last hour, I spent the time to go over the original source, the Washington Post, and to go over the audio of the Trump White House response.

Let me break this down to you: There's some questions that we have to ask ourselves first. For instance, one of the questions we have to ask ourselves: Did you cheer or jeer when President Obama said the 1980s want their policy back?

I, for one, I cheered. Remember, Mitt Romney said, "I cheered." When Mitt Romney said, you know, I want this -- you know, the biggest geopolitical foe of ours is Russia, I cheered. And when Obama said this...

OBAMA: Governor Romney, I'm glad you recognize that al-Qaeda is a threat. Because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia. Not al-Qaeda. You said Russia. In the 1980s or now, calling to ask for their foreign policy back.

(chuckling)

GLENN: So were you happy? Yes or no? I was not happy with President Obama. And nobody in this audience was happy with President Obama. The mainstream media and the Democratic Party, yes, they were. They thought that was great. They denied that Russia was a threat. We didn't.

Next question. Did you say anything like Hillary shouldn't be around classified information? She's not qualified to be around classified information if she doesn't understand how to use classified information. How did you feel?

VOICE: Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

GLENN: Okay. "Intended" was the word there.

Okay. So let's just -- when Hillary Clinton -- when people said Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to be around classified information, if she handle it this way, she can't be the president of the United States. I agreed with that. I said, yes. The mainstream media said no.

Did you think that it -- by the way -- and we could go deeper on that. Just the word "intended." Did you think it was right that the mainstream media went and -- our investigators went in and said, "Well, what's her intent?"

No, we said, "What's the law?" Not what's your intent? What's the law?

Did you think it was treason or, you know, on the road -- did you say, "This guy is out of control, "when this moment happened with President Obama?

(inaudible)

GLENN: Okay. Remember this? The mic was on. And everybody on the right had a cow because he put his name -- he put his hand on the knee of Medvedev and said, "Look, this is my last election. I'll have more flexibility after the election." Yes, transmit to Vladimir.

And we all said, "Vladimir!" You're -- you're -- you're saying you'll transmit this to Vladimir? Did you think that that was on the road to treason? I didn't think it was treason, but I certainly highly questioned it. I questioned it. The mainstream media and the DNC did not.

Now, what does this tell you? This tells you that we have switched places. Because now -- now we're the ones -- when I say "we," the right -- we're the ones saying, "Yeah, the 1980s want their policy back. Don't you understand?" The Republicans -- the Republicans are saying, "The Russians are our friends." And the Democrats -- the Democrats, the people who have never been against Russia, even when it was the Soviet Union, we're the ones now saying -- we're the ones saying, "It doesn't matter. And that's not what he intended. And, yes, maybe he leaked a little classified information to the Russians." And it's the Democrats saying, "He's not qualified to be president if he doesn't know how to handle sensitive information."

Is it treason when Obama said, "I need more time. Transmit to Vladimir?" The Democrats now have a problem with talking to the Russians. And Donald Trump is saying, "I'm just -- I'm just talking to the Russians." So we've switched sides.

Now, in 2011, I showed you a chalkboard that said, "The left, the communists, the fascists, the anarchists, and the Islamists will work together to cause chaos and destabilize the Middle East, Europe, and the western world." Can we all agree that a lot of that is happening right now?

They're not plotting. I've said back in 2011. It's not that they're all working together to -- to plot and say, "Oh -- okay. You do this. And then I'm going to do that." But they are seeing mutually beneficial opportunities. And they each think that they're going to destroy the other one in the end, but they have a common enemy: The United States. And so what are they doing? They're causing chaos.

Before I get fully into the Washington Post, let me talk a little bit about chaos. Because chaos is exactly what we're feeling right now. This is the underlying problem in America.

It is chaos in everything we do. Because we've disrupted everything.

Stu, how many genders are there?

STU: The two.

GLENN: Thank you.

JEFFY: What?

GLENN: Thank you. Two.

PAT: Why the hate?

JEFFY: Thank you.

PAT: Why?

JEFFY: Thank you.

PAT: Why the hate?

GLENN: Listen to what's happening here. Even in jokes, when I ask that question, there are people all across going, I don't know. Is the number up to 92 now?

JEFFY: It might even be more.

GLENN: It might even be more. I know it was 82. And then I thought I saw 92, but I'm not sure anymore. Two is the answer. Two genders is the answer.

Now, if you want to change that, good, then you can change that. But you have to build a case over time. Otherwise, it causes confusion, otherwise known as chaos.

If I hold my finger up like a gun, is that dangerous?

JEFFY: Whoa, whoa.

GLENN: No. Well, yes.

PAT: Yeah, it's a lookalike firearm.

JEFFY: Thank you.

GLENN: Yeah. What is that doing? It's causing chaos. We can't trust the president. We can't trust the media. We can't trust our police. We can't trust our schools. What is that causing? Chaos.

Everything that we're doing, even those things that we do with good intent, is causing chaos. It is causing us to question everything. Even in a game of tag, you have home. Just get home. Go to home base. Let me take you home.

Do you understand your home? Do you understand what's going on? Do you understand your kid's homework? Do you understand Common Core, as you're trying to help them out? How about, do you understand what they're even saying online? Do you understand what's going on online? Do you feel comfortable that your kids and your family is safe from the outside influences, even in your own home? Because I don't.

I feel like we're keeping chaos at bay. Do you remember -- do you remember what I talked about when I talked about the Twelfth Imam. The Twelfth Imam will return.

Now, he is, according to Twelvers, and you don't have to believe this. You just have to believe that they do. The people in Iran, some of them, the ones that are in charge, believe in something called the Twelfth Imam. The Twelfth Imam is going to crawl out of a well at a time of great bloodshed when the world is washed with blood. And the way to get him to hasten the return of the promised one is to create chaos.

Let me hasten the return of the promised one. Well, that -- if you look at their holy scriptures and what they believe and you look at our holy scriptures and what we believe, in the book of Revelation and you invert them -- if you take -- if you take the Twelfth Imam's scriptures of the prophecy of the end time and you read them, you're reading the inverse of book of Revelations. You're reading the manual of the bad guy.

The bad guy -- it's almost as if they took the Book of Revelation -- and you could make a case that it wasn't prophecy. That that's what they did. I don't know. But you could make the case that they just took it and just said, "We're going to screw with those Christians. We're going to be the bad guys."

And that is caused by chaos. So the people in the Middle East have reason for chaos. Russia, as we have told you, one of the main advisers to Putin. His symbol of his political party is the ancient symbol of chaos.

So now, how do we reduce chaos? On this particular story, how is it we are to behave? What will get us through this story? How can we understand this story? How can we make sense of this story? How can we make -- how can we move forward with this story?

It's not that hard. And I'll give that to you. And how the media is also missing a greater point on what they exposed over the weekend.

Give you that coming up in a second. First, this.

Unveiled: Trump’s High-Stakes Gamble to Win the Rare Earth Race Against China

The United States is in a new “Space Race” that may be more important than the first one. This time, the race is against China to get more rare earth minerals. Glenn explains why these minerals are so crucial for our future as technology and artificial intelligence grows in complexity, as well as how the trade war between Trump and China might go. Plus, Glenn discusses how we got here in the first place: addicted to buying Chinese goods with an inflated dollar.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: China is hitting back. They are dumping our -- our T-bills. Our Treasury bills. Taiwan stocks, wobbling. Consumers, people like you and me, bracing for higher prices. University of Michigan survey says inflation fears are spiking. It's Nixon. This is Nixon.

But take a step back. Trump is not stirring the pot. What Nixon did was he took us off the gold standard, so we could spend more money.

And to make us -- this is what he promised the world, that he would make us consumers, not producers.

So we would consume, what everybody else was producing.

So in a way, that was his plan. And he got it! But it cracked the system for, you know, the average person.

Nixon's tariffs lasted four months, it didn't fix the core. Trump is going bigger and bolder. He says, he will bring jobs home.

Could it backfire?

Yeah. Yeah. Tariffs might add another one to 2 percent to prices. Maybe three to five on your Walmart card. Because everything from Walmart is coming from China.

The Peterson Institute, by the way, has run the numbers. Higher yields could strain our 2 trillion-dollar deficit. Make mortgage prices higher.

The retaliation from China is real. And China is not blinking, and neither are we!

Now, do we stumble into recession. Stagflation like the '70s? I don't know. In the '70s, real wages fell 5 percent in a year.

Here's the flip side. If Trump pulls this off, if we start setting things right, where we mean what we say, and we mean what we say, we get everything under control. We're not just spending. And we have no real assets that we actually are sitting on.

If wages rise, one to 2 percent, like the IMF predicts. If supply chains come home, we could see something new. Not a return to 1971. But a system where the middle class isn't crushed, where houses don't cost your soul.

And where the top 1 percent don't control almost everything. Even Bernie Sanders. Would agree with this.

But, no, no, no, no. But he's not. He's busy with Coachella. Get to that here in a second. Here's the thing, history is a very tough teacher. Nixon's shock showed good intentions and sparked long fires. Inequality. Debt. A hallowed out heartland.

This is a very big stakes game. But what has a higher cost is not trying to fix the system.

That's a slow bleed, and we're almost out of blood. It's been 50 years to prove the point. This doesn't work.

This system is broken. But it's not dead. Imagine a world where our children's jobs actually pay enough, where America is not just buying, but it's building.

That's the gamble. And that is the next generation's new American dream. So we're at a crossroads like we were in 1971.

Hopefully, we're wiser. Trump is not Nixon. He has a history map. Scars and all.

Will he fix what is broke? I don't know.

Things are getting a little dangerous.

And tough. This is where the big boys play. This is why Trump earns the big money, even though he doesn't actually take a paycheck for any of this.

This, we're playing the highest steaks of a game.

Here's the latest from China.

And I don't know how many people are really focusing on this.

But this is the ball game.

China now says that they're going to cut us off on rare earth minerals.

Now, we have plenty of rare earth minerals.

There is a new space race. Do you remember when JFK said this?

VOICE: We choose to go to the moon in this decade, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

GLENN: Apparently, even harder than saying decade, not decade.

Anyway, I digress.

So this was really important, because it was a space race. This would change the world. Whoever got to space first, got to the moon first, would change the world.

But there's a new race, and it is just as game-changing. This one is even more critical.

And that is the race for rare earth minerals. The tiny elements that power everything, in our future.

Right now, China has just pulled a giant gun, and they're holding it to our head.

They are threatening to cut off all exports of rare earth minerals.

And if we don't act, with a JFK kind of moon shot, we will lose the AI race. We will lose quantum computing race.

We will lose every technological leap, that is just over the horizon. Rare earth minerals are not just elements in rocks in the ground. They are the back bone to our modern world. Everything from high-tech, weaponry, that will defend our skies, to the smartphones. That are in your pocket.

To the wind turbine. Eye sores. That the left loves so much. And mean nothing. And the quantum computers, that will redefine what is possible.

Here's the deal: In 2024, we produced 45,000 metric tons of rare earth oxide concentrate from the US. Mostly in the mountain pass in California.

Sounds great. But we only refined about 6500 metric tons of usable material.

66 thousand -- yeah. 6,600 metric tons is our demand every year.

So we're close, and yet so far away. Because 70 percent of what we need still comes from China. And Beijing knows this. And this month, they've halted all exports.

Saying, it's in their national interest to stop.

We knew this was coming. We've talked about this for a long time. Do not be held hostage.

They are weaponizing the rare earth minerals. So what's at stake, and what do we do?

We'll do that in 60 seconds. First, out on the wind rustled prairies can still exist in this country, between the veins and the arteries of American cities and towns, and even just some wild spots in the roads.

They still exist. The men and women who have always made sure that America's supper was waiting for them on the table. They're our farmers and our ranchers, and every day through toil and sweat, they raise the cattle and the pigs and the chickens. And all of the food that we have. So you don't have to.

So I don't have to. So we can go to the grocery store, and fill our baskets.

But every year, there are fewer and fewer of them.

Meat gets shipped in from overseas. Giant meat packing plants drive the small farms and the small ranches out of business.

But don't worry, Bill Gates is here. And Good Ranchers are here.

They are working to change it. They sourced 100 percent of their meat from American farms and ranches. Just real beef, real chicken, real pork.

Born and raised, and harvested right here in the United States.

So when you subscribe to Good Ranchers. You are putting your money behind American agriculture.

I want you to GoodRanchers.com. Subscribe and get your choice of protein for a year. Stand with American ranchers and farmers. We need these guys to survive.

It's GoodRanchers.com. GoodRanchers.com. American meat delivered. Ten-second station ID.
(music)

GLENN: Okay. So everything we need, batteries for our cars. Chips. Everything that we need for quantum computing for AI, et cetera, et cetera. It comes from rare earth minerals. China now produces 270,000 metric tons a year.

That's 70 percent of what the globe consumes every year. We're second at 45,000 tons.

But we're at the mercy of their refining. It's like we have lots of oil. But no refineries.

I can't just pour raw barrels of oil into my car. I need somebody to refine it.

And we don't make refineries. Here is the danger of globalism. We gambled on a world where everybody plays fair. Where supply chains are just a matter of efficiency. But globalism has left us exposed.

And we are -- we are handing all of the power over to China, and that power is the power to choke us to death.

It was a reckless bet. We all knew this was bad. We have -- we have everything that we need. Mountain Pass in California. Bear Lodge in Wyoming. Round Top in Texas.

We have the talent. MP Materials, Rare Element Resources, already stepping up. MP Materials invested $2 billion to get 6500 metric tons refined output. They're ramping up. Rare Elements Resources says with $500 million, they could have a full-scale plant running in 18 months. We have all of the pieces we need. We just need the will.

Experts estimate ten to $15 billion, to make sure that our full domestic supply chain, refining plants. Alloyed production. Magnet factories. Everything. Everything is done here.

And for the money that it would be a rounding error in the federal budget. We spend twice that on stupid crap, every year.

If we can fund the carbon study, you know, carbon footprint studies on I don't know. Turtles. And elves. I think we could probably fund this.

Because the time line is so important. If we use the mandate that we found in November, we could be self-sufficient in five years!

In five years, the whole world will be different.

Without a push from the federal government, we're looking at eight to ten years, and that's way too late. We lose. We lose.

This is about the future right now.

We need somebody, and President Trump to stand up. And define what is important to our future. What are the important things that we have to do, and we have to do right now?

Because jobs coming back, is not enough. The right jobs, have to be here.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Ben Shapiro & Glenn Beck Reveal the TURNING POINT for the Media

The Legacy Media’s time is up and New Media outlets like BlazeTV and the Daily Wire are rising to take their place. Ben Shapiro joins Glenn Beck to make the case that he can pinpoint the exact day that Joe Biden killed the Legacy Media: his disastrous 2024 debate against Donald Trump. “In that moment, the Legacy Media died,” Ben says. “The entire American public was subjected to the reality that these people lie with an agenda. And you can’t put that genie back in the bottle.”

TV

Does This Tape Prove LBJ Killed JFK?

The tape alleging that LBJ ordered JFK's assassination appears to be REAL. Glenn invited the tape's owner, Shane Stevens, to confirm that the digital recording he gave to Alex Jones back in January, 2025, matches the original tape. So, for the first time, he played the chilling confession from the original source live in the studio.

Trump Exposes Globalist Lies: Is This the End of Their House of Cards?

President Trump has made it clear: the globalist “house of cards” is trembling under its own weight. But we have a choice: are we going to fear it, or are we going to face it?” Glenn argues that Donald Trump is facing it with a controlled fire, getting rid of all the underbrush and giving us a chance to rebuild and rethink how we live. “We cannot continue to rely on far-off enemies.” We CAN make things again – new things. We can stand on our own two feet. But in order to do that, we must reject the lies and embrace the truth, which many people who hate Donald Trump seem reluctant to do. Why, Glenn asks, do they still give Democratic politicians the benefit of the doubt when they lied to us about ESG, DEI, globalism, COVID’s origins, and so much more? And on top of that, they were “literally stealing from you” through USAID and NGOs?

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So it has been a little frightening this week. And you're looking at things.
And, you know, Donald Trump might seem calloused to some.

Because he will just say, you know, hey. Stop freaking out. Stop freaking out.

And it's easy to say that, as a negotiator. If you're negotiating in a company. And you can say to your staff, behind closed doors. Listen, we are going to do some stuff.

But I'm negotiating. Don't freak out. Anybody freaks out. We will lose the negotiation.

Don't freak out. He's been trying to do that.

But he has to say it on a global stage. Where everybody is watching him.

So he's trying to say, don't freak out. I've got this.

I've got this.

And it's required us to have faith.

And, you know, that's hard to give to a politician. Any politician.

Especially if you didn't vote for that politician. If you don't like Donald Trump. You're not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

You will think he's destroying the country.

And it's really interesting. Because those who didn't vote for Donald Trump, because they thought he would destroy the country, most likely voted for the last administration.

And it didn't matter that they were literally on the take from one of our enemies.

Literally making millions of dollars, taking money, to influence decisions, from China.

It didn't matter that they were lying. They were cheating. That they were literally stealing from you, now we know, through USAID.

Through all of these NGOs. They were literally stealing from you.

Let alone, lying to you!

Remember when I told you about The Great Reset? Something ESG.

DEI.

All these things that we now are very, very well aware of, and we know. They are absolutely true.

They were implemented by the same people who said they were conspiracy theories.

I mean, that's the one thing I can't get past is the people. How do you get past?

How do you hate Donald Trump so much, that you can still run to the people who have lied to you over and over again?

About things that do matter. You know, when Donald Trump said, I have the biggest -- I had the biggest crowd ever!

It doesn't matter. If he's telling the truth or lying.

Does that matter?

No. We're not. We're not. We're not. Trying to undermine capitalism and go to a global government through ESG and DEI and the World Economic Forum.

That lie matters. That one matters. That one will matter for generations.

That one matters to your children and your grandchildren.

But for some reason, some people will just continue to dismiss that.

I want to remind you, that while we're in this situation, with China. First of all, China is the source of COVID.

Did you see this week, what they came out with, on -- that Biden covered up something we reported on, almost, I mean, within a couple of months of COVID.

We said, you know, we've been doing our homework on this. And there was an event with the global army. And all of the armies around the world, that were kind of war gaming and getting together. And our troops were there too.

And it was all in Wuhan. And they came home, and they were sick.

Remember that? And we were like, that might have been the first kind of outbreak of this.

And everyone called us conspiracy. They just -- they just released the documents that show that Joe Biden that afternoon. It was try.

And they buried it.

So we're dealing with a country like China. Really, really bad. You know that, and I know that.

We are dependent on China now! And that can't happen.

Do you remember what COVID was like, when everybody was like, oh, you can't get that. You can't get that.

You can't get surgical masks, because they're all made in China.

How many times did we, in 2020, 2021, 2022 say, I've never seen this in the United States before.

Wait a minute. There's a shortage of, what?

Okay. We weren't used to that.

Don't forget that. Don't forget that.

Especially when it comes to things like medication and rare earth minerals.

You may not know exactly what rare earth minerals are. Or your friends might not know.

But rare earth minerals are what -- it's going to control the world!

You don't have access to rare earth minerals, you can't make batteries or chips.

Okay? Nothing! China is buying them up from all over the world.

And we have created this country, where we can't even mine our own rare earth minerals, and underneath some of our mountains, we have more rare earth minerals than every place in the world combined!

But our government has shut that off. Now, why?

Again, may I remind you of what we just came out of.

The Cloward and Piven strategy. Cloward and Piven were these two university professors, back in the '60s. And when I first brought them up, back in the early 2000s, everybody was like, that's crazy.

She's just a sweet old lazy lady.

She didn't mean any of that stuff.

Yes, she did. Yes, she did.

She was the one at the White House, with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. That did the motor voter law.

That was her. Why?

Get people, everybody who is registered for a license. Get them registered to vote.

The whole thing -- her whole plan with her husband, Cloward and Piven, the whole thing was to collapse America. Economically.

Overwhelm the system, and collapse it economically.

We're dealing with that reality.

Okay?

Whether it's intentional or not.

We all know, we all know, you look back -- I look at this world, and you see, my gosh.

It's just a sprawling, chaotic system, that we've all been swept up in.

And it has strangely worked in many ways, until it doesn't work.

Because of his something like COVID.

And then all falls apart.

And you look at everything that we're doing. The endless wars.

The draining of our spirit.

And our resources. With these endless wars. Government spending like there's absolutely no tomorrow.

Printing money, until it feels like Monopoly cash. Globalism, that has left us leaning on our enemies, for things as basic as medicine and rare earth minerals.

Elites in our universities. And now running our schools. That are destroying our children, by teaching them to be victims.

And not teaching them how to empower themselves, by learning how to think!

Worst of all, the global governments. The World Economic Forum.

The WHO. The United Nations.

All of those things that have said to us, for years. No. We're not doing that. We're not doing that.

And now we know that they have been doing that. And with our help, from the elites in our own governments. And they have redesigned the world.

They have infiltrated a compliant press, that denies the truth.

They are continually defying common sense.

And they are defying the -- the will of the people. Openly.

Openly. Destroying our nations.

Destroying our history.

Our unity. Now arresting those who dare stand against them.

Whether it's the guy down the street on the school board or at the school board meeting. That is like, hey. You guys are all crooks. What are you doing to my kids?

Those who are protesting rape gangs in England.

Actual leaders running for higher office against the machine in France and Romania.

They tried to do it here.

This is all a house of cards.

And it's trembling under its own weight. And deep down. Every single one of us know it.

One way or another.

We all know it. Whether you're in denial or not, that's up to you. Even those on the left, the ones who have been loudest about keeping it going, all along. The ones who are now protesting and burning Tesla. Unless you're a useful idiot. Unless you're someone who is like, yeah. Our side is always right.

I will burn down a Tesla factory.

Unless you're just a useful idiot, you know, this is not about what's right and wrong.

This is about keeping the decline of this nation, and the entire West, on that path.

Because the elites, some of those that are tied to the last president, and his circle. Pushed this idea, of the Great Reset.

Which is a managed decline.

They see the cracks, just as much as I do. They're trying to control the fall, so they can control our future.

They know there's too much money to be lost. So let's get together with all the big banks. And the big corporations.

And finding out more and more. Our CIA. And everybody else.

And we will manage this collapse, keep the people down. Keep the people quiet. And then we will control everything, and we will reset. That's -- that's not -- God didn't give you the right to do that! God didn't give anybody for anybody to do that to a whole population of people!

So this is what we've been fighting against. And now Donald Trump is standing up and saying, that is so deep and metastasized. To save it, we have to turn this thing 180 -- this is the world's largest aircraft carrier, ever in the imagined nation of mankind. It's like an imperial stormtrooper ship. You know, of a -- of a -- you know, of an aircraft carrier.

Practically half a continent. And you have to turn that thing around!

So let me talk to you about fear.

Just that, should scare the hell out of all of you. Every single one of us, it should scare our children and our children's children. It should scare everybody within the sound of my voice. Because you know it's true!

There is trouble, whether it's intended or not, this doesn't work anymore!

Okay?

And basis we got off common sense. And common values.

Now the question is: Are you going to fear it, or are you going to face it?

And that's really what this election, I think was about. At least for me!

I see one guy who is willing to stand up and say the truth, and then actually follow through with action.

I don't see politicians follow through with action. He is actually not afraid of doing it! I'm not afraid of the truth.

You shouldn't be afraid of the truth. The truth will set us all free!

It's scarier to pretend it's not there!

Yeah. It's going to be tough. It's going to be really tough. We have some hard times ahead of us. There's no sugarcoating.

Nobody should sugarcoat that.

But it's, what is the goal at the end?

Is it for the elites to control everything?

Or is it to give you power?

Because both of them are risky. Both of them could end in violent revolution.

Both of them could fail.

But I know which side I want to win. I want the side that says, hey. These values are worth fighting for, and trying to save.

And it might be our World War II. It might be our Great Depression.

It might be our Civil War. But I would rather take that on, then pass it on to my children. Because I would have my children to have the opportunity sooner rather than later to be free.

The system has been running on fumes. And when it finally sputters out, we're going to feel the jolt, one way or another.

What's been happening this week, is dedicated people, who know what's going on. That says, okay.

I don't want the pain.

But I would rather take it on my shoulders now, than pass it on my kids.

Because we might be able to save it now, if we're honest about what we're facing.

Let me carry the load. Let me mess with the mess that we've made. So they don't have to!

Because a controlled fire is good!

Forest fires are good too, in the end. Long run. But a controlled fire is good.

It gets rid of all the underbrush. And it actually replenishes the soil, so something good could grow. And some controlled burns are going to happen. We have a chance here to rebuild, to rethink how we live.

We cannot continue to rely on far off enemies. We have to start looking closer to home. To our own soil.

To our own hands. To our own people.

We can make things again.

Not the things we made in the past.

We're never going back to those days.

Something new and better is on the horizon.

But we can grow things.

We can stand on our own 2 feet. It's time to say, you're 25 years old. You're not a kid. Adolescence now. Adolescence now lasts until you're 25!

In George Washington's time, you were an adult when you were 13!

Are we getting better or weaker? This is not going to be easy. But what is the -- what's at the end, will either be completely bogus, or real again.

And somewhere inside of me, I know we're not done yet.

World has been through collapse before, empires fall, systems crumble.

But the ones who make it, are the ones who dust themselves off.

So I am for one, willing to take the hit.

I am willing to grit my teeth. Because I believe in what's on the other side.

And I know it's -- you can say it's easy for you to say, Glenn. But I only succeed when you succeed.

I get paid a salary because you have the money to buy things that we advertise. So if you don't succeed, I don't succeed.

I lose everything too. I just want to encourage you to pray on this, this weekend.

And -- and find the strength to at least face the truth. And turn the page.

Because it's not just about survival.

It's a new start!
