5 SCARY stories about freedom from Glenn’s Europe vacation

Glenn is back from a two week vacation, but it wasn’t all sunshine and roses. In fact, his time spent in both Scotland and London, England, showed him just how far Europe has succumbed to far-left policies. And some places, he says, may have moved beyond the United States: ‘No one is screaming freedom over there.’ In this clip, Glenn details 5 stories —like the 15 minute cities, the ‘Terra Carta,’ no air conditioning, and more — that taught him so much about the dire situation facing our neighbors across the sea…

GLENN: I think I want to start -- I think I want to start with what I learned over in Europe.

That takes us down the road of dark future even more.

ESG is -- is really, truly just the beginning.

I went over to Scotland, and London. For the last two weeks. It's been a week in Scotland. Met with the -- a wonderful couple of scholars over there.

I'll talk about later. And really, began to understand, A, how far Scotland has already gone.

Scotland, that's Braveheart. Freedom. No one is screaming freedom over there. They're already implementing 15-minute cities. Fifteen-minute cities. Are cities that are so bizarre.

Are cities where you walk. Where you don't drive. Everything that you want is within 15 minutes.

Because the car is going to be eliminated.

And I need that's hard to believe, but it is true.

And I'll lay this case out for you, as the show goes on.

But we are headed toward a zero carbon world. That's what they're pushing.

That will mean the end of almost everything as you know it.

They're implementing these 15 minute cities. Already, they're on the path to eliminate the airports. There will only be two airports in Great Britain one in Heathrow, that's in London. And the other I think in Glasgow up in Scotland. That's it. Everything else, you're going to have to take a train for. And it will have to be an electric plane.

Your cars and moving from city to city, is going away. This is so evident when you come over to England or Scotland. You see it already in play. The cars, the taxicabs are all being replaced by electric. And the cabbies hate it. Hate it.

First of all, we were over there. And it was 80 degrees.

There is no air-conditioning, to speak of. In -- in England or Scotland.

None. None. Now, normally, they have cooler temperatures.

But it's -- the exact same as it is in Seattle.

It reminded me so much of growing up in Seattle.

It's the same weather. And in the summer, you'll have really hot days. And that's why people have air-conditioning, in their cars and their homes, in Seattle.

Many days, you can just open up the windows. Because it gets cool at night. Same thing with London.

But it's 80 or 90.

And last summer or summer before, it was up at 100.

When you're in a city, baking at 100.

When you're at a theater or restaurant. You are seeing a show. And there are a thousand people, sitting on top of each other, in one room. It gets really hot, really fast.

No air-conditioning.

And that's not just because they can't retrofit the buildings.

It's because air-conditioning is a thing of the past.

And when you say you can't retrofit the buildings, it was very interesting, because I went to Windsor castle.

That's the home where Charles and the Queen used to live.

It was the only place that felt like America. It had plenty of air-conditioning. You know how in some cities, especially New York, you're walking around on a really hot day? These stores will actually opening their doors, so when you're walking by on the sidewalk, you feel this push of cold air. It makes you want to go into the store, and get cool.

That's how they attract people. No.

Not in England. They don't do that. Except at the palace of the king. Who, by the way, I believe it was him or, you know, maybe one of his staff or sons. I don't know who it was. But the royal helicopter landed at Windsor castle. And I thought, that's interesting. You would think that helicopters would be a thing of the past. As would air-conditioning, if you truly cared about the planet. By the way, I learned this too.

I don't pay attention to England. Pat is here. You know the Magna Carta, what was that, Pat?
PAT: What was that? It's like the forerunner to our Constitution.

GLENN: Yeah. Right. It was the first document for the rights of?

PAT: Man.

GLENN: Man. Okay. Did you know that king Charles has introduced something new called the Terra Carta?

PAT: No.

GLENN: Yeah. I didn't know that either. The Terra Carter.

PAT: Really?

GLENN: What is -- terra is Latin for? Earth.

PAT: Earth. Jeez.

GLENN: Earth. This is the rights of the earth charter, okay?

And they usurp the rights of man.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: So it --

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: They say it goes hand in hand with the Magna Carta, but it doesn't. The earth has rights that cancel out some of man's rights.

Is this how far this is going. By the way, the White House has just approved and supports the new proposal, as do all of the key players in the UN.

They are already acting as if this is a done deal. But the United Nations has released now, and everyone seems to be on board. And it's coming at us like a freight train.

Our common agenda.

Our common agenda.

Now, can I ask, have -- have you voted for anybody at the UN?

Because I have never voted for anybody at the UN. They've never called me up, and said, hey. We're the UN.

We're doing a survey. We're coming up with a common agenda. What do you think? What should be on our agenda?

Because I think in America, they might have found. A lot of them would have said, to get rid of the United Nations.

But their common agenda is an expansion. And a major expansion of Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030.

Its foundation is essentially the great reset, but with several massive editions. Including, a plan to give the United Nations sweeping emergency powers.

You -- this is The Great Reset on steroids.

The -- I really -- I love the emergency powers. The emergency platform would give the United Nations, the ability to actively promote and drive an international response, that places the principles of equity and solidarity at the center of its work.

The UN, along with its stakeholders of the world, including academics, governments, private sector actors. Meaning, global corporations. And international finance institutions, will be there to ensure there's a unified global response to whatever that crisis might be.

Now, it's weird. Because I went to the -- I went to the London School of Economics. Which a lot of people will associate with Hayek, uh-huh. The London school of Economics should be associated with George Soros, okay?

I have some pictures I will show you, probably on television, this week. But I learned a lot. I learned a lot. And I went to the bookstore, and I just picked up a couple of books. These were all in the same section.

It seems to be the same series. One was hurricane season. One was just called emergency. And my favorite is: Drive your plow over the bones of the dead. That's one of my favorite. So I have some reading to do in front of me. They seem to be preparing for an emergency of some sort.

Now, they also in this, have a digital compact. A global digital compact. I'm quoting. Part of our common agenda proposal calls for massive public collection, use of data and global regulations. It also calls for a robust accountability criteria, and standards for digital platform and users to address disinformation, hate speech, and other harmful online content.

End quote.

So, in other words, the UN is taking a role of governing speech online, including social media. Now, there's a ton, I could tell you about this.

But this is what we talk about in the book Dark Future. Sustainable and equitable rules for technology.

Now, we're telling you about the World Economic Forum. I'm telling you today, there is more information today out now from the United Nations that backs all of it up.

The one thing I learned -- I learned so much.

I learned so much.

One thing I learned is, the English are very concerned about the United States.

I had somebody behind the counter. I was talking to him. And he said, where are you from the states? I said, Texas. And he said, how are things? And I said, in the United States? And he said, yeah.

And I said, not as bad as you might think in some places. Worse than you would think in others.

And he said, we watched the news over here closely. Another couple of guys gathered around the counter, and they were looking at me and listening and nodding their heads. He said, we're very concerned about the future of America.

And I said, well, you should be.

But you should also be concerned for your future as well.

Because we're all connected now.

And I paid the bill.

And as I walked out, he looked at me. And it was so heartfelt, it was so odd.

He looked at me and he said, hey. Please be careful over there.

They're very concerned.

GLENN: There's a difference between a revival and an awakening. We are in a revival right now, but that doesn't necessarily lead to anything. Except, oh, I have to re-learn those principles. But that doesn't mean you apply them in your life. Okay?

That's an awakening. There's been two great awakenings in American history. One brought us the American Revolution. The second one brought us the Civil War and the freedom of slaves.

We have the possibility of going into a third great awakening. That's the only thing that will save us. If you don't know the difference between a revival and an awakening. Let me give you the negative print of a godly awakening. Our kids right now, they don't have any purpose. They don't have any meaning.

They look at everything, and it doesn't -- it's not real. None of it is real. It's money. It's fame.

It's -- you know, it's ever changing truths and definitions. And they have no purpose in their life. Okay?

So they're looking for that. Because man has to have purpose in his life. Man has to search for meaning.

So they're searching for meaning. And they found a group of people that actually mean something. And they're willing to die for it. And it's ISIS.

And so they're like, at least these people believe in something. They believe it. And they're willing to die for it. I'm going to stand with them. And they put that twisted understanding into action. That's the -- that is -- that's an awakening. It's just an awakening to the dark side. And that one is already happening. It has to happen on the good side. And let me speak directly to young men: Look, you are inheriting a very loud, angry, cynical and worst of all spiritually starving and malnourished society. And you are being sold a future of cheap pleasures and hollow heroes and screens with blue light that just rob you of your strength, one distracted second after another.

And in the middle of all that noise, may I just give you one piece of instruction. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praise-worthy, seek those things.

Don't admire them. Don't nod at them. Seek them!

Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things. A man who will do that. A boy. A young man who will do that, will become different. Noticeably different.

He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel.

He will become a curator of -- of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.

When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope!

When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he'll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep!

You want to know what the secret of becoming strong is, or becoming trusted, or becoming the kind of man that your future wife, your future children, your future nation can depend on?

Here it is!

You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. If you seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily. Like the steel glow of a blade being forged.

That's who you'll be.

The world has a plentiful, seemingly never-ending supply of angry boys. We don't need any more addicted boys.

We don't need any more distracted boys. The world needs men. Whole men. Clear-eyed men.

Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms, trying to own them!

Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser. Fill your days with work, hard work, that makes you stronger. Fill your home with beauty that lifts every soul who walks into it.

Have your home a place where people walk in and go, man, I say so great here. I just love it here. I don't know what it is about your house. I just love it. It's the spirit that's there! Because you built it! You protect it.

Protect your integrity like a watchman on the wall. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. And when you fail, and you will, stand back up again.

Because a man who seeks the virtuous, is not a man who never fails. He just -- he just becomes a man who refuses to stay on the ground.

If you seek things that are lovely and pure, trustworthy, praiseworthy, you'll become a kind of man this age almost never produces. A man whose very existence is a rebuke to the darkness.

That's your calling. That's why you were born.

Not to be lost. Not to play video games. Not to give up. Not to say, there's no hope. Not to end up in the trash bin of human history because you've -- you've taken so many drugs, you can't stand up straight anymore.

You're not destined to be alone.

You were destined for great things. You are destined to find an amazing woman!

Believe me. I didn't think I would ever find an amazing woman. Because I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think I was worth it.

And until I started understanding how God works. That, yeah. I'm not worth any of the stuff that I have.

When you realize, it's all a gift. It's all a gift. And even if you work your brains out, you may not ever get all the things that you want. But you're going to have everything you need. Once you realize, carefully selecting friends makes a difference. My mother used to always say, show me your friends. I will show you your future.

It's true. Be careful who you select as friends. Watch your language. Watch what you're putting into your brain and what's coming out of your mouth. Because the brain is so amazing. It's being turned to mush. Did you know that there is a new study that just came out. I have to tell you about it next week, maybe.

New study going out. It is -- it's AI. And it has access to social media, and they have found that the AI -- the AI that is scrolling through social media all day, just to keep updated on everything that's going on in social media. It's getting brain mush. It's actually becoming dumber. It's become less effective!

It's a machine. What do you think this, flesh and blood, this thing is going to do?

We say life is meaningless. And life is the only thing that has any value. And yet, we spend all of our time, on things like social media. And that has absolutely no value.

But we think that's life.

I'm not that smart. I've just lived a long time. And I've made so many mistakes.

And I decided at one point, I'm going to stop saying, it's somebody else's fault. I'm going to start saying. Maybe -- what did I do to create that?

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

Why is it that I always find myself involved with these same kind of people?

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

What you think, it's like -- it's like think of yourself as a -- as a beacon. It's just -- you're a beacon. Your GPS pin, that is constantly saying, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

Except, it's transmitting more than just your location. It's -- it's transmitting what you're looking for, who you are. And it's attracting other dropped pins to you. It's saying, "I like this. I think this way. I believe these things. I am afraid of these things."

Whatever it is, you're thinking. It's constantly putting that out.

And saying, here I am. Is there anything else like that?

Anything else that can reinforce that? Anything else that can live like this?

Because that's me. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

That's why you keep finding yourself in exactly the same situations. Nothing will change, if nothing changes!

And the only thing that you can change, is you!

Seek the things, that have virtue.

Seek the things, that have beauty in music, in -- in art, in life, in architecture, in clothing! Whatever it is. Look for real, lasting beauty and value.

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

Universally true. Find the things that uplift. Seek those things!

And you will change your life and your world!
