Here are the TOP 10 UNBELIEVABLE things Glenn's audience did in 2023

January 04, 2024

WRITER

Glenn has often said that his audience is the most generous in the world, and you have continued that legacy in 2023.

From Maui and Afghanistan to Israel and Armenia, this audience has helped countless men, women, and children all over the world. What YOU have done this year through your generosity is, as Glenn says, nothing short of miraculous. Here are ten extraordinary feats made possible by YOU.

Maui

This August, horrific wildfires raged across Maui, destroying the historic town of Lahaina along with thousands of acres of forest and claiming more than 100 lives. In response to this tragedy, which is now confirmed to be the deadliest wildfire in U.S. history, Glenn and Mercury One rallied the troops to support the Maui wildfire victims as they begin to heal and rebuild their lives. Through your support, Glenn's audience raised over $1.2 MILLION!

PreBorn

Long-time listeners of Glenn's show are familiar with PreBorn, a paid sponsor of the program. PreBorn is a pro-life organization that helps mothers in crisis pregnancies choose life by introducing them to their babies through free sonograms. Preborn also helps support mothers throughout their pregnancy up to two years after their baby is born. This year alone, PreBorn has saved over 28,000 babies from abortion.

Following Glenn's 40-day series on Biblical covenants, Glenn was inspired to commemorate his series by funding PreBorn for an entire 40 days. Glenn pledged the first $100,000, funding PreBorn for 20 days, and challenged his audience to raise the additional $100,000 for the following 20 days. This audience more than DOUBLED the $200,000 goal, saving thousands of babies and giving mothers hope.

Glenn is a collector of all things historical, as his long-time listeners know, and over the years he has amassed an incredible collection of artifacts and documents. Mercury One has started the intensive process of taking high-quality 3D scans of these artifacts to make them available to everyone. This includes invaluable pieces of American history such as the third-largest library of American founding documents, and the largest collection of documents from Jamestown, and the Pilgrims in the world. This is not light work, and it is only made possible with the generosity of Glenn's audience.

Nigeria

On April 30th of this year, Glenn and The Nazarene Fund launched a new mission in Nigeria known as Operation Lego. Operation Lego's primary objective is to collect irrefutable evidence and intelligence to target individuals and rings involved with the illicit trade of organ harvesting, human trafficking, child abduction and exploitation, baby factories, and ritual killings. This work has already led to the arrest of six human traffickers, the rescue and aftercare of 32 children, and the rescue of 15 pregnant women who were continually raped by their captors, who then killed their babies to sell their organs on the black market. This practice is referred to as "baby factories," and YOUR support is rescuing women and children from this evil industry.

Afghanistan

Currently, The Nazarene Fund is supporting 125 widows, children, and Christians in hiding within Afghanistan. This monthly support includes food and other necessary supplies. They are also supporting evacuations out of Afghanistan into safehouses in Pakistan, and from there into countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and Turkey for permanent resettlement. YOUR support has enabled the rescue and resettlement of these Christian families who are under constant threat from the Taliban.

Israel

After Hamas' October 7th terrorist attacks, The Nazarene Fund chartered a flight from Tel Aviv to Nashville to bring home US citizens trapped in the country while the Biden administration took weeks to bring American citizens home. The Nazarene Fund also provided funding for the relocation of six Israeli families to the U.S.

Iraq and Syria

This ongoing outreach is where The Nazarene Fund got its roots. In Syria, the Yazidi people are captured and kept as slaves in a giant prison camp called Al-hol. The Nazarene Fund locates and liberates prisoners from Al-hol and relocates them to Australia and Canada. Just this year alone, 190 people have been rescued from these terrible conditions.

Armenia

Since the conflict in Azerbaijani forces began targeting Armenians in the historically Christian and highly contested Nagorno-Karabakh region in September, Armenians have attempted to flee their historic homeland in droves, fearing for their lives. Over 100,000 people have fled the battlefield and areas of conflict, creating a desperate situation along the Armenian-Azerbaijan border. The Nazarene Fund is on the ground in Armenia assisting Christian families flee the carnage. So far they have successfully evacuated 127 individuals.

Asia

In Asia, The Nazarene Fund has Operation Renaissance, which is dedicated to assisting Christian families and other minority groups with food, medicine, and legal assistance across Asia. Operation Renaissance assisted over 1,590 Christian families fight against persecution and discrimination with cases including but not limited to kidnapping, workplace abuse, and sexual assault.

Around the world

With the generosity of this audience, The Nazarene Fund has been able to provide aid and support to people all over the world, including the evacuation of 180 Kurdish workers in June, $200,000 of emergency aid for the victims of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rattled Turkey, safe houses for at-risk Yazidi women and their children fathered by ISIS fighters, and protection for former ISIS captives who are witnesses against ISIS for crimes against humanity proceedings.

What happens if Trump wins from prison?

If Donald Trump is sentenced to prison time, it will be the first time in American history that a former president and active presidential candidate is thrown behind bars. Nobody knows for sure what exactly will happen.

With the election only a few months away, the left is working overtime to come up with any means of beating Trump, including tying him up in court or even throwing him in jail. Glenn recently had former U.S. DoJ Assistant Attorney General and Center for Renewing America senior fellow Jeff Clark on his show to discuss the recent resurrection of the classified documents case against Trump and what that could mean for the upcoming election. Clark explains that despite the immunity ruling from the Supreme Court this summer, he thinks there is a decent chance of a prison sentence.

What would that even look like if it happened? This is a completely unprecedented series of events and virtually every step is filled with potential unknowns. Would the Secret Service protect him in prison? What if he won from his jail cell? How would the American people respond? While no one can be certain for sure, here's what Glenn and Jeff Clark speculate might happen:

Jail time

Can they even put a former president in prison? Jeff Clark seemed to think they can, and he brought up that New York County District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, had been talking with the New York jail system about making accommodations for Trump and the Secret Service assigned to protect him. Clark said he believes that if they sentence him before the election, Trump could be made to serve out his sentence until his inauguration, assuming he wins. After his inauguration, Clark said Trump's imprisonment would have to be suspended or canceled, as his constitutional duty as president would preempt the conviction by New York State.

House arrest

Another possibility is that Trump could be placed under house arrest instead of imprisoned. This would make more sense from a security standpoint—it would be easier to protect Trump in his own home versus in prison. But, this would deny the Left the satisfaction of actually locking Trump behind bars, so it seems less likely. Either in prison or under house arrest, the effect is the same, Trump would be kept off the campaign trail during the most crucial leg of the election. It doesn't matter which way you spin it—this seems like election interference. Glenn even floated the idea of campaigning on behalf of Trump to help combat the injustice.

Public outrage

It is clear to many Americans that this whole charade is little more than a thinly-veiled attempt to keep Trump out of office by any means necessary. If this attempt at lawfare succeeds, and Trump is thrown in jail, the American people likely will not have it. Any doubt that America has become a Banana Republic will be put to rest. How will anyone trust in any sort of official proceedings or elections ever again? One can only imagine what the reaction will be. If the past is any indication, it's unlikely to be peaceful.

POLL: What topics do YOU want Trump and Harris to debate?

Does Kamala Harris stand a chance against Donald Trump in a debate?

Next week, during the second presidential debate, we will find out. The debate is scheduled for September 10th and will be hosted by ABC anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. This will be the second presidential debate, but the first for VP Kamala Harris, and will feature the same rules as the first debate. The rules are: no notes, no chairs, no live audience, and the debater's microphone will only be turned on when it is his or her turn to speak.

This will be the first time Trump and Harris clash face-to-face, and the outcome could have a massive effect on the outcome of the election. Trump has been preparing by ramping up his campaign schedule. He plans to hold multiple rallies and speak at several events across the next several days. He wants to be prepared to face any question that might come his way, and meeting and interacting with both voters and the press seems to be Trump's preferred preparation approach.

With the multitude of issues plaguing our nation, there are a lot of potential topics that could be brought up. From the economy to the ongoing "lawfare" being waged against the former president, what topics do YOU want Harris and Trump to debate?

The economy (and why the Biden-Harris administration hasn't fixed it yet)

The Southern Border crisis (and Kamala's performance as border czar)

Climate change (and how Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement)

The "lawfare" being waged against Trump (and what Trump would do if he were thrown in prison)

Voting and election security (and how to deal with the possibility that illegal immigrants are voting)

3 ways the Constitution foils progressive authoritarianism

ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / Contributor, Kevin Dietsch / Staff, Pool / Pool | Getty Images

This is why it is important to understand our history.

Over the weekend, the New York Times published a controversial article claiming the Constitution is a danger to the country and a threat to democracy. To those who have taken a high school American government class or have followed Glenn for a while, this claim might seem incongruent with reality. That's because Jennifer Szalai, the author the piece, isn't thinking of the Constitution as it was intended to be—a restraint on government to protect individual rights—but instead as a roadblock that is hindering the installation of a progressive oligarchy.

Glenn recently covered this unbelievable article during his show and revealed the telling critiques Szalai made of our founding document. She called it an "anti-democratic" document and argued it is flawed because Donald Trump used it to become president (sort of like how every other president achieved their office). From here, Szalai went off the deep end and made some suggestions to "fix" the Constitution, including breaking California and other blue states away from the union to create a coastal progressive utopia.

Here are three of the "flaws" Szalai pointed out in the Constitution that interfere with the Left's authoritarian dreams:

1. The Electoral College

The New York Times article brought up the fact that in 2016 President Trump lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College, and thus won the election. This, as Szalai pointed out, is not democratic. Strictly speaking, she is right. But as Glenn has pointed out time and time again, America is not a democracy! The Founding Fathers did not want the president to be decided by a simple majority of 51 percent of the population. The Electoral College is designed to provide minority groups with a voice, giving them a say in the presidential election. Without the Electoral College, a simple majority would dominate elections and America would fall under the tyranny of the masses.

2. The Supreme Court

President Biden and other progressives have thrown around the idea of reforming the Supreme Court simply because it has made a few rulings they disagree with. Glenn points out that when a country decides to start monkeying around with their high courts, it is usually a sign they are becoming a banana republic. Szalai complained that Trump was allowed to appoint three justices. Two of them were confirmed by senators representing just 44 percent of the population, and they overturned Roe v. Wade. All of this is Constitutional by Szalai's admission, and because she disagreed with it, she argued the whole document should be scrapped.

3. Republicanism

To clarify, were not talking about the Republican Party Republicanism, but instead the form of government made up of a collection of elected representatives who govern on the behalf of their constituents. This seems to be a repeat sticking point for liberals, who insist conservatives and Donald Trump are out to destroy "democracy" (a system of government that never existed in America). This mix-up explains Szalai's nonsensical interpretation of how the Constitution functions. She criticized the Constitution as "anti-democratic" and a threat to American democracy. If the Constitution is the nation's framework, and if it is "anti-democratic" then how is it a threat to American democracy? This paradox is easily avoided with the understanding that America isn't a democracy, and it never has been.

Kamala Harris' first interview as nominee: Three SHOCKING policy flips

Anadolu / Contributor | Getty Images

On Thursday, Kamala Harris gave her first interview since Joe Biden stepped down from the race, and it quickly becameclear why she waited so long.

Harris struggled to keep her story straight as CNN's Dana Bash questioned her about recent comments she had made that contradicted her previous policy statements. She kept on repeating that her "values haven't changed," but it is difficult to see how that can be true alongside her radical shift in policy. Either her values have changed or she is lying about her change in policy to win votes. You decide which seems more likely.

During the interview, Harris doubled down on her policy flip on fracking, the border, and even her use of the race card. Here are her top three flip-flops from the interview:

Fracking

In 2019, during the 2020 presidential election, Harris pledged her full support behind a federal ban on fracking during a town hall event. But, during the DNC and again in this recent interview, Harris insisted that she is now opposed to the idea. The idea of banning fracking has been floated for a while now due to environmental concerns surrounding the controversial oil drilling method. Bans on fracking are opposed by many conservatives as it would greatly limit the production of oil in America, thus driving up gas prices across the nation. It seems Harris took this stance to win over moderates and to keep gas prices down, but who knows how she will behave once in office?

Border

In her 2020 presidential bid, Harris was all for decriminalizing the border, but now she is singing a different tune. Harris claimed she is determined to secure the border—as if like she had always been a stalwart defender of the southern states. Despite this policy reversal, Harris claimed her values have not changed, which is hard to reconcile. The interviewer even offered Kamala a graceful out by suggesting she had learned more about the situation during her VP tenure, but Kamala insisted she had not changed.

Race

When asked to respond to Trump's comments regarding the sudden emergence of Kamala's black ancestry Kamala simply answered "Same old tired playbook, next question" instead of jumping on the opportunity to play the race card as one might expect. While skipping the critical race theory lecture was refreshing, it came as a shock coming from the candidate representing the "everything is racist" party. Was this just a way to deflect the question back on Trump, or have the Democrats decided the race card isn't working anymore?
