Glenn's Show Prep

20 Delusional Conspiracy Theories Floated by Alex Jones

June 13, 2017
Staff

WRITER

Is Megyn Kelly legitimizing Alex Jones by giving him air time during an interview? That's what many are saying, including the family members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. The truth, though, is that he's already been legitimized.

"The president of the United States has legitimized Alex Jones. Roger Stone, by being a fill-in host for Alex Jones, has legitimized Alex Jones. Donald Trump, Jr., who has been on his show several times, has legitimized Alex Jones. Alex Jones is not this fringe character. The New York Magazine, New York Times, The New Yorker, they have also done profiles of Alex Jones," Glenn said.

Megyn Kelly is not doing a puff piece on Jones. As her released promo shows, she's holding his feet to the fire and exposing him to the American people.

What will Kelly expose? Alex Jones' delusional conspiracy theories which --- whether real or pretend --- have harmed the media, companies and, most importantly, the victims of horrible crimes.

Here are twenty of this most outrageous claims:

1. Sandy Hook Hoax

The Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was completely fake and manufactured with actors. "They have staged events before. But then you learn the school had been closed and reopened. And you got video of the kids going in circles, in and out of the building, and they don't call the rescue choppers for two hours. And then they tear the building down and seal it. And they get caught using blue screens. And an email by Bloomberg comes out in the lawsuit, where he's telling his people, get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a shooting. Yeah, so Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured. I couldn't believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey."

2. Animal-Human Hybrids

The government is breeding animals and humans together.

3. Aurora Mass Shooting

There's a "100 percent chance that the mass murder committed in Aurora, Colorado, was a false flag, a mind control event."

4. Columbine High School Shooting

The 1999 school shooting was an "extremely suspicious event that had globalist operations written all over it. Columbine, as we know it, was a false flag. I'd say 100 percent false flag."

5. Tucson Shooting

"The whole thing stinks to high heaven."

6. San Bernardino Shooting

A false flag because governments want to "blame the Second Amendment."

7. Orlando Pulse Nightclub Shooting

A "false flag to take your guns and speech."

8: Boston Marathon Bombing

This thing "stinks to high heaven, #falseflag."

9. Obama Married a Man

Obama married a man, Michelle Obama, "because he's obsessed with transgender rights."

10. Vaccines

If you take vaccines, "you'll become disabled or you will die."

11. Weather Control

The government has "a weather weapon that can create and steer natural disasters."

12. Las Vegas Police Shooting

It was "absolutely staged by the government."

13. Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster

Globalists caused the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster to serve as "a distraction from Iraq."

14. 9/11

9/11 was an inside job. Popular Mechanics debunked it, but only because they are part of the CIA.

15. Bilderberg

Bilderberg people go to the Bohemian Grove "to eat gold-wrapped, roasted babies." He offered a police officer $10,000 to disprove it.

16. Comet Ping Pong

Comet Ping Pong pizza "has a labyrinth of tunnels where children are used as sex slaves." He had to apologize for that.

17. Chobani Yogurt

Chobani Yogurt is importing rapists. He had to pay a settlement for that one.

18. Fluoride Poison

Fluoride is poison and it's killing us all.

19. Oklahoma City Bombing

Oklahoma City Bombing was "an inside job and a total false flag."

20. Fetus-Flavored Pepsi

Pepsi has tested new flavorings of fetuses. "I know that there are fetal tissues in a lot of the medical treatments in the vaccines, and they are in a lot of the cosmetics. That's confirmed. We know Pepsi is involved with companies that do use the fetal parts, and we do know that it's been tested in flavor enhancement."

"How can you you do an interview with this guy and normalize him?" Glenn asked. "You're not normalizing him, you're exposing him."

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

GLENN: Megyn Kelly is getting hit for this piece that she has done with Alex Jones. Now, what's happening? Well, the families of Sandy Hook are complaining that you're legitimizing Alex Jones. No, the president of the United States has legitimized Alex Jones. Roger Stone, by being a fill-in host for Alex Jones, has legitimized Alex Jones. Donald Trump Jr, who has been on his show several times, has legitimized Alex Jones. Alex Jones is not this fringe character. The New York Magazine, New York Times, the New Yorker, they have also done profiles of Alex Jones.

PAT: And nobody wanted to shut them down for it.

GLENN: Nobody wants to shut them down. But NBC and Megyn Kelly -- Megyn does an interview, where we play the audio. It comes up on Sunday. We played the audio yesterday. She's not doing a puff piece. She's not grabbing him by the throat and squeezing. But she is holding his feet to the fire, and she is allowing himself to hang himself with the American people, if that's even possible anymore.

In the interview, he says, "You know what story you're not covering is the animal human hybrid story, where the government is breeding animals and humans together." Okay. Thank you.

He also says in this -- and this is what's causing the controversy, that he has done -- you know, he's played devil's advocate and said that, "No, Sandy Hook victims, they weren't real victims. They were actors." But he says on the show that he was just playing devil's advocate.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Let's play the actual audio of what he said.

ALEX: They have staged events before. But then you learn the school had been closed and reopened. And you got video of the kids going in circles, in and out of the building, and they don't call the rescue choppers for two hours. And then they tear the building down and seal it. And they get caught using blue screens. And an email by Bloomberg comes out in the lawsuit, where he's telling his people, get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a shooting.

Yeah, so Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured. I couldn't believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey.

PAT: Unreal. Let me tell you something, that is not playing devil's advocate. That is not devil's advocate. That is his opinion. And he's pushing that theory forward.

GLENN: If I were a family member --

PAT: Man.

GLENN: And I don't know if you could do this for a public shooting, but I would mad enough that I would be with an attorney saying, "Can we sue him? Can we sue him? My child is dead. My child is dead."

PAT: And you're accusing me of faking it. That my child doesn't exist. Wow.

GLENN: That's absolutely incredible. That's not playing devil's advocate. Let me give you what else he has said. But he's now asking NBC, who is getting heat from both the right and the left and the families, getting heat for running this interview.

Alex Jones --

PAT: He's demanding they not run it.

GLENN: Alex Jones himself is demanding they don't run it.

STU: Which is evidence why you should run it.

GLENN: Why you should run it. He says that they need to cancel it because it's a hit piece. Because he's been taken out of context. Well, there's the context. Right there.

PAT: Yeah. That was in context.

GLENN: That's what he said. Okay.

He's also said, 100 percent chance that the mass murder committed in Aurora, Colorado, was a false flag, a mind control event.

PAT: So it's not just this shooting.

GLENN: Quoting: 1999 Columbine: School shooting was, quote, extremely suspicious event that had globalist operations written all over it. End quote.

Quote, Columbine, as we know it, was a false flag. I'd say 100 percent, false flag. Tucson shooting, quote, the whole thing stinks to high heaven. San Bernardino, shooting a false flag because governments want to, quote, blame the Second Amendment, end quote. Orlando --

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: -- false flag to take your guns and speech. Boston Marathon, this thing stinks to high heaven, #falseflag, end quote.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: He said that Obama had married a man, Michelle Obama, because he's obsessed with transgender rights, end quote.

If you take vaccines, quote, you'll become disabled or you will die, end quote. The government has, quote, a weather weapon that can create and steer natural disasters, end quote. He claimed --

PAT: You're not claiming you don't believe that.

GLENN: He claimed Las Vegas cop shooting was absolutely staged by the government. Quoting: Globalists caused the space shuttle Columbia disaster to serve as, quote, a distraction from Iraq.

And, of course, his all-time classic: 9/11 was an inside job. Popular Mechanics debunked it, but they only debunked it because they are part of the CIA.

He also believes that the Bilderberg people go to the Bohemian Grove, quote, to eat gold-wrapped roasted babies.

PAT: He actually offered a cop $10,000 if he could disprove that.

STU: How would you disprove --

PAT: I don't know. I don't know.

GLENN: Pizza place -- comic pizza --

PAT: They have gold all over their lips after they do it. It's impossible to disprove.

GLENN: What's the name of the place?

STU: Comet Ping Pong.

GLENN: Comet Ping Pong pizza, quote, has a labyrinth of tunnels where children are used as sex slaves. He's had to apologize for that.

The latest is Chobani yogurt is importing rapists. He had to pay a settlement on that. He said fluoride is poison and it's killing us all. That the Oklahoma City bombing was, quote, an inside job and a total false flag. The Gulf of Tonkin is a false flag.

STU: Of course. It all starts there, Pat.

PAT: It does.

GLENN: And my favorite, Pepsi has tested new flavorings of fetuses.

PAT: Well, listen to his case though, you haven't heard his case.

GLENN: All right.

ALEX: I know that there are fetal tissues in a lot of the medical treatments in the vaccines, and they are in a lot of the cosmetics. That's confirmed.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: That's confirmed.

ALEX: We know Pepsi is involved with companies that do use the fetal parts, and we do know that it's been tested in flavor enhancement.

PAT: Because there's nothing more delicious than a fetus. I mean, that's pretty well-known. Right? What is that?

GLENN: No. When you have an aborted baby, you think to yourself, I wonder if we can mix this in a drink to make it taste better. That's what you think.

PAT: If I combine this with some nutmeg, it's going to be delicious.

GLENN: Again, he said in there because they're training us to be cannibals.

Now, how can you you do an interview with this guy and normalize him? How can you do -- when the president has been on his show. The president's son has been on his show.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: The president's advisers have been on his show. You're not normalizing him, you're exposing him.

STU: Of course. We have gone -- this is a country that has -- its journalists go and interview Assad and Ahmadinejad. And Putin.

GLENN: Putin.

STU: She just interviewed Putin.

PAT: They go to prison and interview people on Death Row who have murdered --

GLENN: Charlie Manson.

PAT: Charlie Manson has been interviewed multiple times.

STU: Why on -- I mean, look, Alex Jones I think is terrible for the country. But why on earth can she not --

GLENN: Okay. Because -- I have an answer to this. And it goes to why I am thrilled to have this audience and to be able to talk to you every single day. Because there is something different about this audience. And this audience is growing. This hunger is growing. And I'll tell you what it is, coming up in a second.

The melting pot fails when we stop agreeing to melt

Spencer Platt / Staff | Getty Images

Texas now hosts Quran-first academies, Sharia-compliant housing schemes, and rapidly multiplying mosques — all part of a movement building a self-contained society apart from the country around it.

It is time to talk honestly about what is happening inside America’s rapidly growing Muslim communities. In city after city, large pockets of newcomers are choosing to build insulated enclaves rather than enter the broader American culture.

That trend is accelerating, and the longer we ignore it, the harder it becomes to address.

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world.

America has always welcomed people of every faith and people from every corner of the world, but the deal has never changed: You come here and you join the American family. You are free to honor your traditions, keep your faith, but you must embrace the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. You melt into the shared culture that allows all of us to live side by side.

Across the country, this bargain is being rejected by Islamist communities that insist on building a parallel society with its own rules, its own boundaries, and its own vision for how life should be lived.

Texas illustrates the trend. The state now has roughly 330 mosques. At least 48 of them were built in just the last 24 months. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex alone has around 200 Islamic centers. Houston has another hundred or so. Many of these communities have no interest in blending into American life.

This is not the same as past waves of immigration. Irish, Italian, Korean, Mexican, and every other group arrived with pride in their heritage. Still, they also raised American flags and wanted their children to be part of the country’s future. They became doctors, small-business owners, teachers, and soldiers. They wanted to be Americans.

What we are watching now is not the melting pot. It is isolation by design.

Parallel societies do not end well

More than 300 fundamentalist Islamic schools now operate full-time across the country. Many use Quran-first curricula that require students to spend hours memorizing religious texts before they ever reach math or science. In Dallas, Brighter Horizons Academy enrolls more than 1,700 students and draws federal support while operating on a social model that keeps children culturally isolated.

Then there is the Epic City project in Collin and Hunt counties — 402 acres originally designated only for Muslim buyers, with Sharia-compliant financing and a mega-mosque at the center. After public outcry and state investigations, the developers renamed it “The Meadows,” but a new sign does not erase the original intent. It is not a neighborhood. It is a parallel society.

Americans should not hesitate to say that parallel societies are dangerous. Europe tried this experiment, and the results could not be clearer. In Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, entire neighborhoods now operate under their own cultural rules, some openly hostile to Western norms. When citizens speak up, they are branded bigots for asserting a basic right: the ability to live safely in their own communities.

A crisis of confidence

While this separation widens, another crisis is unfolding at home. A recent Gallup survey shows that about 40% of American women ages 18 to 39 would leave the country permanently if given the chance. Nearly half of a rising generation — daughters, sisters, soon-to-be mothers — no longer believe this nation is worth building a future in.

And who shapes the worldview of young boys? Their mothers. If a mother no longer believes America is home, why would her child grow up ready to defend it?

As Texas goes, so goes America. And as America goes, so goes the free world. If we lose confidence in our own national identity at the same time that we allow separatist enclaves to spread unchecked, the outcome is predictable. Europe is already showing us what comes next: cultural fracture, political radicalization, and the slow death of national unity.

Stand up and tell the truth

America welcomes Muslims. America defends their right to worship freely. A Muslim who loves the Constitution, respects the rule of law, and wants to raise a family in peace is more than welcome in America.

But an Islamist movement that rejects assimilation, builds enclaves governed by its own religious framework, and treats American law as optional is not simply another participant in our melting pot. It is a direct challenge to it. If we refuse to call this problem out out of fear of being called names, we will bear the consequences.

Europe is already feeling those consequences — rising conflict and a political class too paralyzed to admit the obvious. When people feel their culture, safety, and freedoms slipping away, they will follow anyone who promises to defend them. History has shown that over and over again.

Stand up. Speak plainly. Be unafraid. You can practice any faith in this country, but the supremacy of the Constitution and the Judeo-Christian moral framework that shaped it is non-negotiable. It is what guarantees your freedom in the first place.

If you come here and honor that foundation, welcome. If you come here to undermine it, you do not belong here.

Wake up to what is unfolding before the consequences arrive. Because when a nation refuses to say what is true, the truth eventually forces its way in — and by then, it is always too late.

Shocking: AI-written country song tops charts, sparks soul debate

VCG / Contributor | Getty Images

A machine can imitate heartbreak well enough to top the charts, but it cannot carry grief, choose courage, or hear the whisper that calls human beings to something higher.

The No. 1 country song in America right now was not written in Nashville or Texas or even L.A. It came from code. “Walk My Walk,” the AI-generated single by the AI artist Breaking Rust, hit the top spot on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart, and if you listen to it without knowing that fact, you would swear a real singer lived the pain he is describing.

Except there is no “he.” There is no lived experience. There is no soul behind the voice dominating the country music charts.

If a machine can imitate the soul, then what is the soul?

I will admit it: I enjoy some AI music. Some of it is very good. And that leaves us with a question that is no longer science fiction. If a machine can fake being human this well, what does it mean to be human?

A new world of artificial experience

This is not just about one song. We are walking straight into a technological moment that will reshape everyday life.

Elon Musk said recently that we may not even have phones in five years. Instead, we will carry a small device that listens, anticipates, and creates — a personal AI agent that knows what we want to hear before we ask. It will make the music, the news, the podcasts, the stories. We already live in digital bubbles. Soon, those bubbles might become our own private worlds.

If an algorithm can write a hit country song about hardship and perseverance without a shred of actual experience, then the deeper question becomes unavoidable: If a machine can imitate the soul, then what is the soul?

What machines can never do

A machine can produce, and soon it may produce better than we can. It can calculate faster than any human mind. It can rearrange the notes and words of a thousand human songs into something that sounds real enough to fool millions.

But it cannot care. It cannot love. It cannot choose right and wrong. It cannot forgive because it cannot be hurt. It cannot stand between a child and danger. It cannot walk through sorrow.

A machine can imitate the sound of suffering. It cannot suffer.

The difference is the soul. The divine spark. The thing God breathed into man that no code will ever have. Only humans can take pain and let it grow into compassion. Only humans can take fear and turn it into courage. Only humans can rebuild their lives after losing everything. Only humans hear the whisper inside, the divine voice that says, “Live for something greater.”

We are building artificial minds. We are not building artificial life.

Questions that define us

And as these artificial minds grow sharper, as their tools become more convincing, the right response is not panic. It is to ask the oldest and most important questions.

Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of freedom? What is worth defending? What is worth sacrificing for?

That answer is not found in a lab or a server rack. It is found in that mysterious place inside each of us where reason meets faith, where suffering becomes wisdom, where God reminds us we are more than flesh and more than thought. We are not accidents. We are not circuits. We are not replaceable.

Europa Press News / Contributor | Getty Images

The miracle machines can never copy

Being human is not about what we can produce. Machines will outproduce us. That is not the question. Being human is about what we can choose. We can choose to love even when it costs us something. We can choose to sacrifice when it is not easy. We can choose to tell the truth when the world rewards lies. We can choose to stand when everyone else bows. We can create because something inside us will not rest until we do.

An AI content generator can borrow our melodies, echo our stories, and dress itself up like a human soul, but it cannot carry grief across a lifetime. It cannot forgive an enemy. It cannot experience wonder. It cannot look at a broken world and say, “I am going to build again.”

The age of machines is rising. And if we do not know who we are, we will shrink. But if we use this moment to remember what makes us human, it will help us to become better, because the one thing no algorithm will ever recreate is the miracle that we exist at all — the miracle of the human soul.

Shocking shift: America’s youth lured by the “Socialism trap”

Jeremy Weine / Stringer | Getty Images

A generation that’s lost faith in capitalism is turning to the oldest lie on earth: equality through control.

Something is breaking in America’s young people. You can feel it in every headline, every grocery bill, every young voice quietly asking if the American dream still means anything at all.

For many, the promise of America — work hard, build something that lasts, and give the next generation a better start — feels like it no longer exists. Home ownership and stability have become luxuries for a fortunate few.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them.

In that vacuum of hope, a new promise has begun to rise — one that sounds compassionate, equal, and fair. The promise of socialism.

The appeal of a broken dream

When the American dream becomes a checklist of things few can afford — a home, a car, two children, even a little peace — disappointment quickly turns to resentment. The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. Debt lasts longer than marriages. The cost of living rises faster than opportunity.

For a generation that has never seen the system truly work, capitalism feels like a rigged game built to protect those already at the top.

That is where socialism finds its audience. It presents itself as fairness for the forgotten and justice for the disillusioned. It speaks softly at first, offering equality, compassion, and control disguised as care.

We are seeing that illusion play out now in New York City, where Zohran Mamdani — an open socialist — has won a major political victory. The same ideology that once hid behind euphemisms now campaigns openly throughout America’s once-great cities. And for many who feel left behind, it sounds like salvation.

But what socialism calls fairness is submission dressed as virtue. What it calls order is obedience. Once the system begins to replace personal responsibility with collective dependence, the erosion of liberty is only a matter of time.

The bridge that never ends

Socialism is not a destination; it is a bridge. Karl Marx described it as the necessary transition to communism — the scaffolding that builds the total state. Under socialism, people are taught to obey. Under communism, they forget that any other options exist.

History tells the story clearly. Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba — each promised equality and delivered misery. One hundred million lives were lost, not because socialism failed, but because it succeeded at what it was designed to do: make the state supreme and the individual expendable.

Today’s advocates insist their version will be different — democratic, modern, and kind. They often cite Sweden as an example, but Sweden’s prosperity was never born of socialism. It grew out of capitalism, self-reliance, and a shared moral culture. Now that system is cracking under the weight of bureaucracy and division.

ANGELA WEISS / Contributor | Getty Images

The real issue is not economic but moral. Socialism begins with a lie about human nature — that people exist for the collective and that the collective knows better than the individual.

This lie is contrary to the truths on which America was founded — that rights come not from government’s authority, but from God’s. Once government replaces that authority, compassion becomes control, and freedom becomes permission.

What young America deserves

Young Americans have many reasons to be frustrated. They were told to study, work hard, and follow the rules — and many did, only to find the goalposts moved again and again. But tearing down the entire house does not make it fairer; it only leaves everyone standing in the rubble.

Capitalism is not a perfect system. It is flawed because people are flawed, but it remains the only system that rewards creativity and effort rather than punishing them. The answer is not revolution but renewal — moral, cultural, and spiritual.

It means restoring honesty to markets, integrity to government, and faith to the heart of our nation. A people who forsake God will always turn to government for salvation, and that road always ends in dependency and decay.

Freedom demands something of us. It requires faith, discipline, and courage. It expects citizens to govern themselves before others govern them. That is the truth this generation deserves to hear again — that liberty is not a gift from the state but a calling from God.

Socialism always begins with promises and ends with permission. It tells you what to drive, what to say, what to believe, all in the name of fairness. But real fairness is not everyone sharing the same chains — it is everyone having the same chance.

The American dream was never about guarantees. It was about the right to try, to fail, and try again. That freedom built the most prosperous nation in history, and it can do so again if we remember that liberty is not a handout but a duty.

Socialism does not offer salvation. It requires subservience.

Rage isn’t conservatism — THIS is what true patriots stand for

Gary Hershorn / Contributor | Getty Images

Conservatism is not about rage or nostalgia. It’s about moral clarity, national renewal, and guarding the principles that built America’s freedom.

Our movement is at a crossroads, and the question before us is simple: What does it mean to be a conservative in America today?

For years, we have been told what we are against — against the left, against wokeism, against decline. But opposition alone does not define a movement, and it certainly does not define a moral vision.

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

The media, as usual, are eager to supply their own answer. The New York Times recently suggested that Nick Fuentes represents the “future” of conservatism. That’s nonsense — a distortion of both truth and tradition. Fuentes and those like him do not represent American conservatism. They represent its counterfeit.

Real conservatism is not rage. It is reverence. It does not treat the past as a museum, but as a teacher. America’s founders asked us to preserve their principles and improve upon their practice. That means understanding what we are conserving — a living covenant, not a relic.

Conservatism as stewardship

In 2025, conservatism means stewardship — of a nation, a culture, and a moral inheritance too precious to abandon. To conserve is not to freeze history. It is to stand guard over what is essential. We are custodians of an experiment in liberty that rests on the belief that rights come not from kings or Congress, but from the Creator.

That belief built this country. It will be what saves it. The Constitution is a covenant between generations. Conservatism is the duty to keep that covenant alive — to preserve what works, correct what fails, and pass on both wisdom and freedom to those who come next.

Economics, culture, and morality are inseparable. Debt is not only fiscal; it is moral. Spending what belongs to the unborn is theft. Dependence is not compassion; it is weakness parading as virtue. A society that trades responsibility for comfort teaches citizens how to live as slaves.

Freedom without virtue is not freedom; it is chaos. A culture that mocks faith cannot defend liberty, and a nation that rejects truth cannot sustain justice. Conservatism must again become the moral compass of a disoriented people, reminding America that liberty survives only when anchored to virtue.

Rebuilding what is broken

We cannot define ourselves by what we oppose. We must build families, communities, and institutions that endure. Government is broken because education is broken, and education is broken because we abandoned the formation of the mind and the soul. The work ahead is competence, not cynicism.

Conservatives should embrace innovation and technology while rejecting the chaos of Silicon Valley. Progress must not come at the expense of principle. Technology must strengthen people, not replace them. Artificial intelligence should remain a servant, never a master. The true strength of a nation is not measured by data or bureaucracy, but by the quiet webs of family, faith, and service that hold communities together. When Washington falters — and it will — those neighborhoods must stand.

Eric Lee / Stringer | Getty Images

This is the real work of conservatism: to conserve what is good and true and to reform what has decayed. It is not about slogans; it is about stewardship — the patient labor of building a civilization that remembers what it stands for.

A creed for the rising generation

We are not here to cling to the past or wallow in grievance. We are not the movement of rage. We are the movement of reason and hope.

For the rising generation, conservatism cannot be nostalgia. It must be more than a memory of 9/11 or admiration for a Reagan era they never lived through. Many young Americans did not experience those moments — and they should not have to in order to grasp the lessons they taught and the truths they embodied. The next chapter is not about preserving relics but renewing purpose. It must speak to conviction, not cynicism; to moral clarity, not despair.

Young people are searching for meaning in a culture that mocks truth and empties life of purpose. Conservatism should be the moral compass that reminds them freedom is responsibility and that faith, family, and moral courage remain the surest rebellions against hopelessness.

To be a conservative in 2025 is to defend the enduring principles of American liberty while stewarding the culture, the economy, and the spirit of a free people. It is to stand for truth when truth is unfashionable and to guard moral order when the world celebrates chaos.

We are not merely holding the torch. We are relighting it.
