SHOCKING 7-year-old video sheds new light on Ukraine/Russia war

A clip from 2016 has resurfaced and it's shocking. In it, Sen. Lindsey Graham tells Ukrainian soldiers that "2017 will be the year of offense" against Russia. So, was this a lie, or was the plan to start a war thwarted? Glenn questions how odd it is that before Trump took office, American war mongers were talking about a Ukrainian/Russian war and then right after Trump left, the war began. Have American politicians been planning for this war for 7 years? Did Trump's presidency delay it?

GLENN: So people are moving because of people like me.

I think from Washington State. They're fleeing the Pacific northwest.

To California. And then Oregon. And Washington.

And they're going to -- they're going to Idaho.

Now, normally, I don't I don't like it when people move to California.S is

To my state. And I know, you know, people in Idaho are like, no. Californians, please.

However, the state is already one of the most conservative states in the union.

58 percent are G.O.P.

Voters.

But the people that are moving in, they're moving because of politics.

And they're registering at 65 percent G.O.P.

So they're more conservative than the people of Idaho.

And I say bring it on.

STU: It's already a conservative state.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

STU: Now, there will be no -- every Republican will lose 80 to 20 in Washington and California instead of 16-40. But who cares.

GLENN: Yeah. Sixty-five percent of the people who are moving in, are registered Republicans. 12 percent are Democrats.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: That's remarkable.

PAT: Wow.

STU: We are sifting ourselves a little bit into --

PAT: Yeah, we are.

PAT: I'm okay with it now. Whatever.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: I feel like -- I feel like that's what I want to do. But it's really bad.

STU: Is it though?

GLENN: Well, it's not bad for us, per se. It's bad for the country.

STU: Is it though? The first one get on the air.

Because I don't know.

I mean, I feel like, you know, look, it's okay to self-select at some level with people who generally see the world.

I mean, I don't need someone who will agree with me on the exact tax cut policy that I want. I would like someone who thinks men are men, and women are women.

It's hard to talk to people who can't address basic reality.

GLENN: People are blaming conservatives for self-sorting.

Theory saying, this is horrible. Well, you know what, this is where I'm torn.

No. It's really pretty horrible. When you are living in a state, that forces your children to learn, that there is no right or wrong.

Male or female.

And white people are bad. I mean, I wouldn't want to live in a state where they're teaching black people are bad. Or Asian people are bad. No race. What do you say about that?

You feel like you have no choice, but to move.

And I think it's bad for the country, long-term.

But I tell you, I'm -- you know, in Texas, I'm here for a reason. I didn't want to live in New York anymore.

STU: Yeah. And like, I don't know. Was that a good choice or bad choice?

Do you like getting pelted by eggs on the way to work every day?

GLENN: No. I don't. No, I really don't. G.O.P. does not solve all the problems.

I want to play something that a friend of mine found. Because he's Bulgarian. And so he watches news from former Iron Curtain countries.

He found something on their news in Ukraine. And it comes from 2016.

It's Lindsey Graham, and John McCain.

Talking to Ukrainian soldiers, that next year, is the year for offense. Offense.

With Russia. Listen to this clip.

VOICE: Your fight is our fight.

VOICE: 2017 will be the year of offense.

All of us will go back to Washington, and we will push the case against Russia.

Enough of our Russian aggression. It is time for them to pay a heavier price.

GLENN: 2016.

STU: Hmm.

VOICE: Our fight is not with the Russian people. But with Putin.

Our promise to you, is to take your calls to Washington.

Inform the American people of your bravery. And make the case against Putin to the world.

STU: Wow. Talk about a warmonger. That guy has never met a war, he wasn't in love with.

GLENN: But hang on just a second.

Isn't it fascinating, that you are standing there in 2016, right after the election.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And you're speaking as though the war is going to begin the next year.

PAT: Uh-huh. And it's already -- the decision Sharia law already made.

GLENN: Already made. We will go to war with Russia.

STU: It will make the case. His decisions are certainly made. Not the nation's.

GLENN: Sure. But isn't it weird, after Donald Trump. We didn't really hear anything about Ukraine. We heard Russia, Russia, Russia. But we didn't hear anything about Ukraine.

Then as soon as Donald Trump is out. The first thing that happens is Ukraine.

STU: Yeah. But caused by a Russian invasion, yes.

Russian invasion.

GLENN: Was that Russian invasion not only wouldn't have happened with Donald Trump, because of who Donald Trump was.

STU: I think that's true.

GLENN: But is it also because the Russians knew exactly what the warmongers were going to do, under the Biden administration.

STU: Maybe.

Who knows. It's possible.

I will say, this is 2016.

This is after Crimea.

This had heated up quite a bit, already.

There's some reason for them to be talking about it.

PAT: It's two years later.

It's two years after Crimea. So...

GLENN: And why is 2017. I'm convinced it's because they thought Hillary Clinton was going to get a win.

STU: Win. Yeah.

GLENN: Then when she didn't, the train has already left the station. And we're just going to do it anyway.

And had no idea that perhaps -- I would love to play this clip for Donald Trump.

And get his point of view.

Was there a movement, to go in to Ukraine, by the left and the right, when you first got in?

Because somebody in his administration would know if that was -- if that was trying to be wielded against.

But, you know, that was -- remember one of the problems that they had was they said, that Donald Trump was too pro-Russian. And I mean before -- there was a computer sending signals to his bank.

No. There's not. That was a complete fabrication. However, he was sending the message, we're not going to be hostile.

We're not hostile. We just want to be friends with everybody.

PAT: Well, and that was our -- that was our position, that we were not going to allow Ukraine into NATO.

And that position went away.

They just went back on that, completely.

So I thought it was kind of reasonable, for Russia not to want Ukraine, to be part of NATO.

STU: And angry when we failed a promise.

There was a promise to them. That was part of the agreement back in the day.

PAT: It was.

STU: So, I mean, look, there's been lots of problems on both sides for a very long time.

It does seem like there was an agenda in place, people wanted to execute. And Trump certainly got in the way of that.

I mean, that clip there is a great example of it. They 100 percent at that moment believed Hillary Clinton was going to be the next president of the United States.

GLENN: No. That was December.

It was after the election. It was December.

STU: It was December.

So, yeah. So that's interesting. They already knew.

GLENN: Right. But I think they thought that the train was already -- had already left the station.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Deep State. Everything was happening.

You know, the State Department. And they just didn't think that I think, that they thought, it couldn't be stopped.

STU: At that time, you remember the early versions of the Trump administration.

Would be maybe more -- have more -- have more affinity for that type of thing. Right?

They had a lot of generals in control.

Remember, that was the early version of the Trump administration, had maybe more -- more likelihood, to take that seriously.

GLENN: And it also --

STU: But it didn't work. Obviously, Trump did not go along with McCain.

GLENN: Right. But the Deep State started pushing Russia, Russia, Russia. That Russia interfered.

Putin was behind it.

That the presidential election had been hijacked by Russia.

I mean, they immediately went and made Russia, the bad guy.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Even though, I'm not saying, they are the bad guy. They are the bad guy.

But they immediately made -- they pinned all stuff that wasn't true, on Russia.


PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: I mean, they've had it out for Russia.

And it's amazing to me. How, does it seem that anybody is actually representing you?

PAT: Not really.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: Not really.

GLENN: Right?

And so people buy into conspiracy theories.

Because you have to try to explain it.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: Why is no one else standing up for America?

And how much have things changed since that presidential debate between Obama and Romney.

Where Obama told Romney, that the 1980s called and they wanted their Russian policy back.
That you shouldn't be considering Russia even an enemy at that point. It was al-Qaeda, that was the enemy. Not Russia.

Well, that's interesting, how much that has changed over the last few years.

GLENN: Well, I think the Russia thing, came from the Clinton and Biden camp.

I really -- I mean, think they've been making money with Russia and Ukraine on the side. Dirty money for a long time.

And I think this was part of their plan. The whole time, quite honestly.

But I could be wrong.

How Charlie Kirk BEAT THE LEFT at its own election games

Much of the credit for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory should go to Turning Point USA founder and CEO ‪@RealCharlieKirk‬, Glenn says. The Left has dominated get-out-the-vote efforts for years. But in 2024, Charlie Kirk was able to beat them at their own game. Charlie joins Glenn to explain his winning strategy and why he believes Trump would have lost states like Wisconsin if they hadn’t targeted new voters so intensely. Glenn and Charlie also discuss how “this was the election of the podcast.”

GLENN: All right. The first person we have to thank, or the first thing that we have to thank is God.

God worked miracles in this country, this last week.

And we would be remiss and really poor children, if we didn't recognize his hand in this election.

It is incredible, what has happened.

I told you before, I've -- I can find a million ways, this thing flies apart. But there's only one way, we hold it together.

And that's God.

And I think we've all witnessed that. Now, on the human level, one of the guys who I don't think has gotten enough credit yet, but will get all the credit he deserves.

Is Charlie Kirk.

Charlie started something called Turning Point USA. I know you know of it. To have

He is the host and founder of -- the founder and CEO of turning point. Also, the host of the Charlie Kirk show.

But this guy, I don't know what we would have done without you, Charlie.

I mean, you really turned the vote out. Thank you.

CHARLIE: Well, Glenn, first of all, you said it correctly. Glory be to God. We were a couple millimeters to the entire country going to bedlam. You so perfectly said, throughout the entire campaign, I have this -- the spirit of paranoia, are we really going to do this? Are they going to come up another sneak attack? Are they going to do another COVID? And every corner and every turn. So glory be to God. God is not done with this land.

GLENN: That's true.

CHARLIE: And second, I wish I could take credit for this. But it's American people. And I know it sounds cliche and I know it sounds generic. But the American people stood the most intense propaganda political hurricane of American history. There's never been anything like it. It was worse than 2020. It was worse than 2016. Calling us Nazis and fascists. And, you know, saying that Donald Trump was going to -- you know, put people in camps and all that.

The American people weighed their options, despite Kamala Harris spending Donald Trump three to one, and made the right choice.

Look, we played a small role. And we did it in two ways. We said, on this election, we want to try to lose by less with younger voters.

And then we will create the most sophisticated, low propensity, get out the vote, turnout machine in -- in modern political history for the right.

And here was our series of cases.

First, on the get out the vote.

Which is that we believed that there were millions of people that were Trump supporters. That were not Trump voters. The people that would say, yay, Trump! And they would be with them.

But they weren't putting a ballot in the box.

They weren't casting a vote.

We tested the theory of the case.

When I started to go to Trump rallies. And I would ask people, and I would take a lot of selfies with people who are super nice and they love the country. And one out of 30 people, I would say, hey. Are you ready for the vote?

And they would say, oh, yeah. I think so.

I would get this kind of, you know, half answer.

And so I went back to my team. I said, guys, I think there's a lot more in this reservoir than we realize.

And so we compared with the data. With the Trump campaign. Which we were allowed to do, thanks to an FEC ruling back in the spring.

And we said, guys, let's beat the left at their own it became.

Let's engage in early voting. Even though it's a flawed system, in a way that's never been done before.

Because, again, there's actually more days to get low likely voters to go vote. If you have 30 days, you can then get someone who is not as easy to persuade the vote, because then you can get five or six touches on them.

We hired well over 1,000 full-time people into the greatest ground force that's ever done.

We raised tens of millions of dollars. Praise God from our donors. And we pitched them on this thing, saying, hey. The road to the White House will be going through these states.

We know that. We will be the first registered voters build relationships and communities. And then drive a turnout machine over a 30-day period to get Donald Trump across the finished line.

And the states we primarily focused on was Arizona and Wisconsin.

We spent work of course in Pennsylvania, in Georgia, but in really, Arizona, Wisconsin.

And in Wisconsin, I can tell you, that if it wasn't for our effort. Donald Trump would have fallen short.

We chased in excess of over 70,000 low propensity voters in Wisconsin. Donald Trump won by 28,000 votes.

Here in Arizona, as we are speaking, we still have 850,000 votes still to count. We realize it could take at least 90 days to count our ballots here. It's a joke. It's really something else.

GLENN: I know it is. I know it is.

CHARLIE: But by St. Patrick's, we'll find out who won that race in Arizona.

But Kari Lake is down 44,000 votes here in Arizona, and she might -- she might fall 10,000 votes short, or win by ten thousand votes.

But thanks to our effort and the team, we closed an eight-point polling gap for Kari Lake.

And so, look, basically what we did, we took this movement that Donald Trump created, that Donald Trump led, and we added machinery to the movement.

And we were able to successfully turn Trump supporters into Trump voters.

GLENN: You know, Charlie, I've been -- you know, obviously looking at this, forever.

And we've never had a G.O.P. that could get out of its own way.

We've never had one that was competent.

We never had a plan other than, hey. We're just better.

And we -- we lost it. Every time. Because we were either stupid. Or we just couldn't get out of our own way. And get people to the polls.

This time around, I felt real confidence, that the G.O.P. had these issues covered, at the polling places.

That it was going to be secure. That if it wasn't, they had the attorneys, and they had he have been of else out there.

Just like the Democrats do, and we were going to catch the bad guys, if the bad guys showed up.

So we had that confidence. And we also had confidence because of what we were doing. That we were going after the -- the low propensity voter.

That we -- you know, I've said for years. Hey, somebody should get a bus, like they do.

And put people on a bus, and take them to the polls.

Somebody should do this.

CHARLIE: Oh, we did that.

GLENN: I know you did. I know you did. And that made all the difference in the world.

CHARLIE: Well, thank you, Glenn. And let me say one thing. Which, again, our theory of the case was that okay. The RNC would limit some of the shenanigans. Which, by the way, we didn't completely eliminate. Without that, we would have Senator Mike Lee from Wisconsin.

But one of the ways to offset the shenanigans and the tomfoolery, is you outnumber there.

And so you have so many ballots in the volume of the system. That, you know, their midnight drops in Milwaukee are just not going to be sufficient. And it turns out, that that was a correct way of looking at it. And I want to say, one other thing, though. This was very, very difficult work, and your team deserves enormous credit.

Not just the full-time staff. You'll love this, Glenn.

We do this thing called commit 100.

Where we say, hey, if you're across the country. And you're tired of listening to talk radio and watching TV and seeing your country fall apart.

If you will be able to fly yourself to Arizona, we'll put you up in a hotel room for a week or two.

And we will give you the mobile technology to go chase ballots. We have over 2,000 people from across the country, that were working neighborhoods in Arizona to go chase ballots.

2,000 volunteers from across the country. On top of, in Arizona, our 600 full-time people, on the ground

So we blanketed the state. And Arizona, again, it's my passion.

It's that that is performing of the seven battleground states, and we're still counting votes.

It's the greatest swing of any battleground states in 2020.

And it should give your audience a lot of renewed confidence.

Is that we are catching up to how the left has gamified our elections.

They turn it into a game. Who can get the most amount of pieces of paper in the box? And we were -- we're still dealing in an antiquated mindset, where we believe that elections were just about worldview and values and issues. Back in, like, 2004.

The left, they changed all the rules. And that made them permanent in COVID. And between 2022 and especially in 2024, we learned the rules. We caught up. And then we beat them at their own with game. And that is what is so promising and encouraging. That we were able to add this machinery, to a once in a generation movement. And I will add one other thing. Is that some people were saying, it was a landslide.

It was. However, Glenn, we're talking about Donald Trump. The final canvases will come out. He won Wisconsin by 30,000 votes.

Pennsylvania, one point. Michigan, point and a half.

Without the turnout operation, without the voter integrity operation, the Trump campaign, and the RNC, you could make an argument -- and also, the second layer is that we did 25 points better with younger voters.

We won the youth vote in Michigan. We almost won -- yeah. Go ahead.

GLENN: What do you attribute that to, other than, you know, your work. And the work of others?

Do me a favor do you -- how much do you put into Elon Musk, RFK, Joe Rogan? Theo Von? Yeah.

CHARLIE: Yeah. First of all, Elon Musk is an American hero. And that guy is the best of America, who decided to just put everything on the line, for his country.

And I can't say enough good things about him. And, by the way, President Trump deserves so much credit for doing this long form podcast. This was the year -- this was the election of the podcast. And Democrats were unbelievable.

GLENN: This is the end of the -- I said this the week before he went on Joe Rogan. I said, you watch. He'll go on Joe Rogan. 100 million people. And it will be the end of the mainstream ahead.

This will -- this will show everybody for 2028, there's no reason to do a debate on ABC.

There's no reason to do an interview with CBS.

Why? Why would you do that?

Everything changed, this time.

CHARLIE: That's exactly right.

And I attribute a lot to that. And in addition, Donald Trump was able to -- he was able to sit for three hours, with no notes and go deep on the issues and have a total command of the subjects.

GLENN: I know. I know.

CHARLIE: Here is the new standard though, and Democrats have to know this.

You will never win another presidential election, if you nominate another candidate who is unable to do long form podcasting.

People won't trust you. End of story. And if you do not have a candidate, who can go deep and that can think on their feet and have memory recall and be personable and charming and affable, the American people will reject that. Long gone are the days of 7-minute, 60-minute interviews, right?

Or, you know, ten-minute Meet The Press, where you have five questions, and they're prepared.

Now, you have to earn the vote. Because people are going to listen to you for three hours and see your tone and inflection. And whether you mean it.

And so Donald Trump excelled in that. And Joe Rogan deserves such credit for having the platform, and to his credit as well, he was very fair. He wanted to broker a fair deal where Kamala was invited and Donald Trump. The other thing I will say though.

And I think you will appreciate this, Glenn. With younger voters.

Is that there was that pent-up rebellion energy, amongst young Gen Zers for how they were treated during COVID.

During COVID, they had their proms cancelled. Their graduation. Summer classes. A lot of their friends committed suicide.

They were part of this generation that was hyper propagandized by the left wing woke stuff during the summer of Floyd.

And they realized that it was lies. And that it was misrepresentations, and then they get their news from podcasting. And podcasting comes out, talking about how great Donald Trump was and how awful Kamala was, because that was the right framing. And the generation started to tilt right.

And so -- what was so remarkable, is that Democrats, they didn't see this coming.

They were so confident.

They were so cocky. That younger voters were going to continue to support them.

Again, you could make the argument.

If it was for the mass movement of younger voters in some of these states.

Donald Trump might not have won. And, again, the Sunbelt was a separate story.

We did very well in the Sunbelt, 4 or 5-point margins.

But the Rest Belt was one and a half, 1-point margins. We're talking about 30,000 votes here. So all of these things add up, in a very significant way.

And it also should give your audience such hope.

There's almost no documented case of a generation that becomes more liberal, as they get older.

So the fact that this generation is the most conservative voting generation since 1988. That means that the future is only going to get redder.

It's only going to become more conservative, as they own property and get married and have children.

So our starting point is the best starting point for our political movement since Ronald Reagan.

And credit to Donald Trump. And please, sorry.

GLENN: And I think that it is only going to grow from here, if Donald Trump can tick off the things that are on his list to do.

GLENN: So, Charlie, we were talking about what -- you know, why Trump won. Why did Kamala lose?


CHARLIE: Well, that's interesting. And, again, I will say, the narrative should be that Trump won more than she lost. However, she was unable to do the basic, as we said, long form podcasting. She misread the room. And I think the interesting story that should be explored is, where did all the money go? The most funded campaign in history. A billion dollars.

Now, $20 million in debt.

And I have a personal axe to grind here.

Because, you know, we were one of the groups that the media was setting up to fail. Okay? Let's just be honest. There were so many articles written in the last couple of months. Trump team takes big risk outsourcing GOTV to Turning Point and Elon Musk.

You probably saw the stories, right, Glenn? It was every major outlet.

GLENN: Oh, yeah, I did.

CHARLIE: And they were setting us up to fail, and we would get on the phones with these reporters. And we would say, hey, we're doing real things.

Maybe you guys should be more nuanced. And they said, well, the Kamala team has the most sophisticated get out vote operation ever, and their ground game. And they're knocking on tens of millions of doors, and we would tell them. And this was true. I said, never conflate results and activity.

The Kamala team was doing a lot of activity. But they weren't producing results. So the Kamala ground game was completely overrated.

Somebody made a lot of money, and misled a lot of people, and a lot of Democratic donors.

So let's just be honest on the issues. Let's just also on the issues though.

Is that Kamala Harris and the entire regime, they were trying to continue to occupy a country that they resent.

And that, as a basic operating formula, is almost an impossible way to hold on to political power.

You can't continue to govern a country when you disdain the people that you are pathed to oversee.

And, I mean, we can go one example to the other. I'm sure you cover this on your show.

But Star County, Texas. Which has not voted Republican. In over 100 years.

The most Hispanic county in America, Donald Trump won.

I mean, there was this multi-racial reckoning against the Democrat Party.

Young, old, black, Hispanic.

And finally, Kamala Harris and her entire team, they -- they -- they did everything they possibly could to not defend their own positions. But try to make it a referendum on Donald Trump.

Now, Donald Trump refuted quite a gift.

He received quite a gift. Because for the first time since Grover Cleveland, he was able to embrace the advantages of being an incumbent and the advantages of being a challenger.

So think about it. You can say, how great my record was. And how terrible the person currently in office is. If you think about that analytically, that's almost an impossible. It's impossible to beat that. Because you could be incredibly -- you could be very, very critical. So that wins you points. People like that in politics. At the same time, you can also have a sterling record to run on. So it's not just hypothetical. So Donald Trump leaned into the best of all circumstances. Being a challenger and also an incumbent. And, yeah. And also, Kamala Harris didn't have a primary. That's another thing that I said.

Don't -- when I try to implement a candidate without a primary, don't assume that all the Democrats are going to support you. I have many other thoughts on this.

GLENN: Well, I've got just about 30 seconds here, before a break. So good time to just take a breath. I do want to go back to that.

But I -- I also want to go back to Hispanics.

Because they have alienated themselves with everybody. Now, they're talking about how Hispanics are anti-black. And I've heard black are anti-Hispanics. I mean, they're just -- they're at war with themselves.

I don't know how they come back from this. But, you know, vampires, you always think are dead. But they come back.

3 reasons Glenn is "REALLY HOPEFUL" about Trump's second term

After winning the 2024 election, Donald Trump declared that he will usher in a "new golden era of America." Glenn explains 3 reasons why he is "really hopeful" about Trump's second term: With Elon Musk's help, "we actually have a chance of cutting our budget"; With a strong America, the whole West can escape the global elites' plans; and with JD Vance and his "American miracle" backstory, America can remember who we really are.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I will tell you, that I -- I find one of the most hopeful things, you know, when Donald Trump said, we're going to enter a new golden era of America, I believed him. He -- he could have said that in 2020, and I wouldn't have believed him, as much as I believe him now.

And that's because, we have -- we have a team of people, that are not just all politicians, cut exactly the same way, et cetera, et cetera.

And usually, you want people who are thinking like Donald Trump.

But in this particular case, to be able to bring in somebody like Elon Musk, that's one of the most hopeful things for our country, I've heard maybe in my lifetime.

Because I know that guy can cut. I know that guy will find the waste, in our government.

And he's not a government guy.

He's just a businessman. And he's going to look and go, we don't need any of those people.

Redundant. Redundant. Redundant.

Get rid of it.

We actually have a chance of cutting our budget. And being reasonable.

And I also that know Donald Trump is going to cut regulation.

I mean, he cut more regulation his first term than any other president. But they added so much regulation.

He will have to cut more of it now. And he will.

I mean, to get this economy roaring again, I think he's going to cut red tape like nobody's business.

And we could have a true rebirth of freedom, and the rebirth of the American dream. And I find that really hopeful.

I'm tired of thinking that my kids will be struggling. And they will be eating, you know, paper dolls, or whatever they have to eat.

Because even cannibalism. There's no more food left so they have to eat paper dolls.

I mean, I don't know what is coming. But I'm tired of thinking that.

I'm really hopeful today. I'm glad to hear Stu just chime on that, and go, yeah. I'm with you, Glenn.

STU: You know, Glenn, I am -- I am hopeful.

But I -- there's another full I am, which is spiteful. And I'm trying my best not to embrace that part of my inner -- inner workings today. But you're right.

I think it is -- look, there's a lot of good that could be done. We talked a little about what was unfortunately a missed opportunity maybe of 2022 last night. Where if things had gone a little bit better in 2022, we didn't even need a red wave, but just a little better of an election. You could be looking at a filibuster-proof majority, with Donald Trump going in. And that would have maybe been better.

Remember, we still have the House. We have to get over the hump.

I think that will be a real challenge over the next couple of weeks.

GLENN: And honestly, the Senate.

We've got to get. If Cornyn becomes the new McConnell, it's a nightmare. It's a nightmare.

STU: The work never ends.

GLENN: Cornyn cannot be the head of the Senate. He cannot become the new Majority Leader.

STU: And, you know, this will be an interesting one, and one of the first things Donald Trump is going to decide here.

As he has a very packed next couple of months, doing all of this transition, and getting all these people ready for these positions. He has a ton to do.

But this Senate leadership race will likely go to Cornyn or Thune, unless Donald Trump takes a strong stand and puts his thumb on the scale for someone like Rick Scott.

And I don't know -- I don't know what level of priority that is for him.

GLENN: I know. He really likes Rick Scott, doesn't he?

STU: I think so. So he may very well do it. I hope he's aggressive on that one. There's so much for him to do.

And look, it will be a real challenge for all these things he's wanted to do.

For all the -- the project 2025 things he was supposedly had planned.


GLENN: Thank goodness. Thank goodness, they -- they -- we lied enough to make sure that nobody knows that his whole plan is project 2025.

STU: Oh, do you remember when we said, it was just a think tank. White paper.

That the Heritage Foundation has produced every year since 1984.

Oh, that was a real scam on that one.

It works so well.

GLENN: Oh, man. They bought that lie.

STU: Think of all the things they tried, Glenn.

Just with Kamala. You had project 2025.

You had Trump is Hitler. You had actually we're joyful. You had J.D. Vance is weird. Like, all of these things. These are all just cataclysmic failures. None of them did anything.

They were all embarrassing failures.

GLENN: Yeah. Over the weekend, I heard the worst on J.D. Vance.

That he's going to inflict his mommy issues on all of us.

I'm like, what kind of monster are you?

I mean, the guy is like a miracle. I -- I tweeted last night, let me see if I have this. Because I just thought. You know, we really need to be grateful to the Lord.

For this miracle that we saw last night.

But also, you know, there's a lot of people that worked their butts off. Charlie Kirk, you know --

STU: Charlie is going to be swimming in money after this.

I can't even -- I can't even imagine.

GLENN: Oh, I know. I know.

STU: You want to talk about a person who has increased his profile. And is going to be very much rewarded. Is going to be Charlie.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Between Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk.

Really responsible for the turnout operation. Which seemingly outmaneuvered the entire democratic machine.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: In state after state.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: Again, we will all look at this and say, at the end of the day, he will come out probably 312 electoral votes. It will not look like it's that close of an election. But truth of the matter is, all of these states are pretty close.

These are all -- he basically swept seven states with by pretty narrow margins.

And that is a -- I mean, turnout has to be a part of that story.

Pretty amazing.

GLENN: And that is Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk.

Let me go through the list that I put on.

And I would love to hear any editions from you.

Thank you, Charlie Kirk for everything you did to serve and save the republic.

Elon Musk, thank you for your vision and your courage to defend a man's right to be heard.

And to speak.

What that guy did is absolutely heroic. Heroic.

He knew he was going to be taken apart.

And even when they said, we're -- we're possibly going to deport you. When they were going down, they put him in jail, deport him. He still goes forward.

Amazing. RFK, for make America healthy again.

Tulsi Gabbard, for just her courage, and her honesty. And her willingness to be humble.

Joe Rogan for putting the stake in the heart of the mainstream media. That thing is dead now. That is dead.

And they're only going to make it worse. All they have to do is go, okay.

Wait a minute.

Can we take a week here, and just look at, what did we do?

What have we been doing, that's not working?

But they won't do it.

They're so deep in their own lies, that they'll never find their way out of it.

Because there's no humility there either.

I mean, if you're not humble. You will never fix it.

Which reminds me.

Let's make sure we are humble.

Make sure that we are humble. Or we will lose it again. We've been given a second chance. It's like America, you know, was on the table, and our heart stopped. And somehow or another, it just started beating again. Let's -- I don't know. Let's -- let's stay away from the fatty foods for a while. Maybe get some exercise. J.D. Vance.

Look at what J.D. Vance brought to the table. He showed us that even the most disadvantaged, can take charge of their own life. And create their own miracle. Their own American miracle.

He couldn't have happened in any other country, but America. And we had forgotten that that is who we really are.

That that can happen in this country.


STU: Can I -- can we go a little bit more on J.D. Vance for a second?

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: We're told VP picks don't really matter. And I think that's typically true. Normally, it isn't that big of a factor.

I think in this election, we will look back at it as a massive factor. Number one, J.D. Vance outperformed every vice presidential candidate I've ever seen in my entire life.

He was absolutely incredible. He took a total beating at the beginning. Everybody said he was terrible.

But he went on, and made serious arguments in unfriendly places. Over and over and over again.

And absolutely destroyed Tim Walz, in the one time, that they were debating each other directly.

And the same way, that it will be looked back. I think it's a really good pick for -- for J.D. Vance.

It will be the equivalent -- whatever the opposite side is, when it comes to Tim Walz. A truly horrible, horrible decision, that Kamala Harris admittedly made while she was sleep-deprived. She literally has admitted that.

It showed, he was terrible from the beginning. And, Glenn, you know, it's funny when you look at the polls cast. The -- the -- the correction after that first debate, when Donald Trump seemingly fell behind a little bit. That whole comeback comes almost to the day of that debate.

Glenn Beck’s POWERFUL message to Democrats after Trump’s win

Donald Trump's 2024 victory has taken many on the left by shock. How could the majority of Americans support a fascist, racist, xenophobic felon who promised to be a dictator "on day one"? Well, maybe that's not what they support. Glenn reviews 2 New York Times op-eds that are perfect examples of what the legacy media has convinced half the country to believe about Trump and his supporters. Then, he explains what Trump supporters actually believe, and it couldn't be any more different.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So one of the op-eds in the New York Times today is Trump's America.

His comeback victory signals a different kind of country.

From the New York Times.

In her closing rally on the ellipse last week. Kamala Harris scorned Donald J. Trump as an outlier who didn't represent America.

That's not who we are, she declared.

In fact, it turns out, that may be exactly who we are. At least most of us. The assumption that Mr. Trump represented an anomaly, who would at last be consigned to the ash heap of history was washed away Tuesday night by a red current that swept through the battleground states. And swept away the understanding of America, long nurtured by its ruling elite of both parties.

No longer can the political establishment write off Mr. Trump as a temporary break from the long march of progress.

Populist disenchantment with the nation's direction and resentment against elites proved to be deeper and more profound than many in both parties had recognized.

While tens of millions of voters still cast their ballot against Mr. Trump, he once again tapped into a sense among many others, that the country they knew was slipping away, under siege economically, culturally and demographically.

To counter that, those voters ratified the return of a brash 78-year-old champion willing to upend convention and take radical action, even if it offends the sensibilities or violates old standards.

Any misgivings about their chosen leader was shoved to the side. As a result for the first time in history, Americans have elected a convicted criminal as president. They handed power back to a leader who tried to overturn a previous election, called for the termination of the Constitution, and aspired to be a dictator on day one, and vowed to exact retribution against his adversaries. To Mr. Trump's allies the election vindicates his argument that Washington has grown out of touch.

And America is a country weary from overseas wars. The Trump presidency speaks to the depth of marginalization felt by those who believe they have been the cultural wilderness for too long, and their faith in this one person who has given voice to their frustration and his ability to center them in American life.

Rather than be turned off by Trump's flagrant, anger-based appeal. Along the lines of race, gender, religion, national origin. Especially transgender ideology.

Many Americans found them bracing. Rather than be offended by his brazen lies or wild conspiracy theories, many found him authentic. Rather than dismiss him as a felon, found by various courts to be a fraudster, cheater, sexual abuser, and defamer, many embraced his assertion that he's been the victim of persecution.

This election, quoting, was a CAT scan on the American people. And as difficult as it is to say, as hard as it is to name.

What it revealed, at least in part, is a frightening affinity for borderless corruption.

That is from the former strategic adviser to president George W. Bush.

The fact that Trump was able to bounce back from so many legal and political defeats over the four years, anyone which would have been enough to wreck the career of any other politician was a testament to his remarkable resilience and defiance.

But it also was owed in part to the failures of President Biden and Ms. Harris. Then they go on for two paragraphs about, oh, boy.

They were bad.

But then they're right back into Donald Trump.

The coalition that elected them, wanted them to unite the country.

And they failed to do so. And their failure resulted in further disillusionment with our country's politics and empowered the Trump base.

Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign, to see American democracy, as a failed experiment. Said historian and author of Strong Man. Let me say that again. Trump has been conditioning Americans throughout this campaign, to see American democracy as a failed experiment.

No. I've never heard him say that. I've never heard anybody that supports him say that.

A victory for Trump would mean that this vision of America, and the recourse to violence as a means of solving political problems, has triumphed. She continued.

Talking to Mr. Short. Whoever Mr. Short is.

Predicted another four years of chaos and uncertainty.

I would anticipate a lot of volatility. Personnel, but also significant boomerangs on policy.

Not boomerangs from Biden/Harris. But boomerangs from himself. You'll have one position one day. And another position the next.

Okay. So they go on, and they really, truly do not understand what's happened.

Now, this is self-imposed ignorance.

Because it's really not that hard to figure out. And I do believe it comes from a misunderstanding of what our country is.

They're looking at our country, the way Woodrow Wilson defined it.

And that is, an administrative state. What is in the American soul is something entirely different.

GLENN: All right. So who are we?

What is it that we fight for? We see America more in the tradition of the Founding Fathers.

Now, I know if you're somebody on the left, if you're somebody, especially, you know, in the elite government. Or, you know, somebody who went to Harvard. You might roll your eyes at this.

Because you think this is all trite. But many Americans believe this. We believe that the American spirit is a force that inspires teams.

It also has fueled revolutions.

It's also driven some of the greatest innovations and achievements the world has ever seen.

We believe that. We believe in the American individual.

Now, you might say that you do. But I don't think you do. Because you want somebody to tell all of the individuals, exactly what they must believe, what they must live. What they must eat.

What they must drive. What they must teach their children.

We don't believe that. We don't believe that. And it's not just for us. It is for people who want to live a transgendered life.

I don't care if you want to live a transgendered life.

I feel to you for you.

I do. I feel for you. I feel your pain. The pain that you must have gone through, your whole life.

I don't want you to go through that pain. But don't force me and my family to lie about science because you feel bad.

You might feel horrible. I know I did as an alcoholic. As somebody who has -- who actually considered suicide, I know what feeling bad feels like.

But only the truth will set you free. I can't -- I can't further the lie. Because it only will hurt more people.

Now, the American spirit, this is what brought settlers across the oceans. Across rugged mountains, that nobody thought.

They risked life and limb, just to get away from the big European state. That told them, you'll never make it.

You can't do it. Your family is worthless. Insular have the right credentials.

They crossed oceans to get away from that. To put that into perspective, that is almost like going to the moon today.

These were people who were like, screw it, man!

This is the spirit that took on the tyrants and the empires. That declared that there were such thing as free men and free women.

And distant rulers and aristocrats. And those in the black robes.

They don't determine our destiny. We do!

And it's something that transcends race and religion or class.

You know why a lot of people -- a lot of people, that you say are racist, I know racism exists. But not the way you think it does!

You think we're all born racist. I -- I don't believe that!

You have to be taught how to hate. You have to be taught how to hate the other side.

Many of us believe, that is what you're teaching, with antiracism. Only racism you believe, can stop racism.

So I have to be taught to hate, to stop hate!

It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense.

We're just looking for common sense. We're looking for science!

And reason. To be fixed firmly in her seat.

When we say, we believe that America is exceptional. Why do you think we say that?

Because we're arrogant?

Because we're white. Because what?

Because we believe in God! It's none of that.

What makes us exceptional is this American spirit. It's not chance. It's not entitlement.

It's through toil and courage and vision. Of ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.

That's what makes us exceptional! We are exceptional because the rest of the world has been told, shut up, and sit down!

You cannot do that. What makes us exceptional is that we say, who are you to tell me that?

You don't control my life. You don't control my vision.

You don't control my every movement.

I believe we can do extraordinary things.

That's why every -- why every American should embrace Elon Musk.

And every American did embrace, at least the spirit of Elon Musk, until politics were introduced. I wasn't against Elon Musk in his cars, and everything else. When he was, quote, on the other side. I don't think he's changed. He still believes all that stuff about global warming that I don't believe.

But I didn't wish him ill. I didn't want him deported. I didn't want him shut up. I didn't want to destroy his company.

I rooted for him to go to Mars. I still root for him to go to Mars. You know why? Because that's an ordinary person, who has an extraordinary vision, who can articulate that vision and execute it. I want man to win!

Our Founders knew, that governments left unchecked, would accumulate power, at the expense of the individual.

We have been on this road, that you and the New York Times may say, is traditional.

You may say, it's -- it's accepted, it's the way we are.

Well, but that is a perversion. We switched train tracks about 1916.

We developed this new idea. That man cannot rule himself.

This is actually an ancient idea. But it was new in America. Man cannot rule himself!

Man has to have an overseer. A government. Somebody in the government. Somebody preferably not elected.

Just a faceless bureaucrat. That could nudge people, the right way.

We don't want to be nudged. We're much more direct than that. You don't understand who Americans are. We are frank and blunt.

We're polite. We don't want to argue about politics. We don't want to argue about sex.

We don't want to argue about religion. We don't want to argue about any of that stuff.

So we're polite in polite company. Most of us were taught, you don't talk about those things. Why?

Because it deepens the division.

Just, you be you, boo. I'll be me. But we can't -- we can't have those conversations anymore.

And we need to. Because that's who we are. I'll fight for your right to be whoever it is you think you are.

Oh, you're a marshmallow. A unicorn, that turns into marshmallows at night. Okay. Hey, she's not a marshmallow. That's right.

She's not. But she has a right to believe that. She wants to say that. She has every right. Shut up. Sit down.

But you want me to say, no, she is a unicorn that turns into a marshmallow at night. No! No!

I'll fight for your right to say what you believe.

But I'm also going to fight for everybody else's right including mine, to say you're wrong.

This system of government that started with Woodrow Wilson is ancient. We call it progressivism now. But it was -- it was the tool of the tyrants, going all the way back, I'm sure to cavemen.

This government has become corrupt!

Corrupt. We should all be on the same side!

If Donald Trump was taking money from China, and he was enriching his children, because they were meeting with the Chinese, and then trying to influence him, I would want them to go to jail!

Because I don't want corruption! You don't take foreign money, on the down low!

I think we're being consistent.

But you don't because you fundamentally misunderstand.

You keep quoting the Constitution. But I don't think you understand the Constitution. This is a framework, that is designed to empower people, and restrict the government.

You interpret the Constitution, as something that empowers the government, and restricts the people.

Only one of us can be right. And if you actually read the document, you'll know which one is true!

That's what leads us back to American exceptionalism.

All right. More in a second.

I just -- I feel like, we need to explain, to the left. In a very clear way. In a very kind way.

I'm trying to be kind.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what we want. We don't want to control your life.

We have no desire to be in your bedroom. We have no desire, nor will we round groups of people up.

That's what progressives did, with FDR.

Not constitutional conservatives!

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: So none of us had any sleep last night. And so you'll have to excuse us. It's a little -- we're a little delirious. And my apologies, and this is sincere. My apologies for not starting off the program with, thank you, Lord. Thank you to the almighty for giving us, not what we deserve, but giving us mercy. Which we do not deserve.

We witnessed a miracle, last night. With everything that was going against us, everything that -- I mean, this -- this shouldn't have happened last night.

I mean, I'm glad it did. But they have spent half a billion dollars just on abortion. Half a billion dollars, on the abortion message.

Yes. The -- the -- the direction of our country, is -- is completely in the wrong direction.

And enough people woke up, enough people saw that, and stood up, and -- and were willing to be called Nazis and everything else.

And they just didn't care. And I -- I think, that was a miracle.

And God was gracious, yesterday.

He is not -- he is not done with America, apparently. He's just not done. So thank you, Lord. Thank you.

PAT: I agree with that whole-heartedly. Whole-heartedly.

GLENN: Pat, hi. Thank you.

PAT: Welcome, good to be here. I also have just one other little message, if I may.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

PAT: And it goes a little something like...
(music)
(laughter)

GLENN: Okay. All right.

PAT: Now, just that. It's another --

GLENN: See, that's wrong. That is just really, really wrong. Especially physical you did it -- if you did it again. Then --

STU: Don't do it again.

PAT: I shouldn't do this again.
(music)

GLENN: Oh, my.
(music)
(laughter)

GLENN: So, you know, what the problem is, that sounded a bit gloaty.

PAT: We don't want to do that. We want to be gracious winners.

STU: I can sense that towards the end.

PAT: Because if you did that a third time. It would probably be misconstrued.
(music)
(laughter)

GLENN: Wow! Wow.

STU: Beautiful --

PAT: Thank you. Thank you.

I've been working on it.

GLENN: I was going to say, that is a beautiful voice, that you have.

STU: Oh, you know what, Pat, if I may. If I may.

PAT: And you may.

STU: I love that Tim Walz gets a mention in that.

PAT: Oh, my gosh,, yes. Had to be.

STU: I love --

PAT: I don't ever want to see -- yeah. Let Minnesota deal with it. I don't want to.

STU: Good luck, Minnesota.

PAT: Oh, my gosh.

GLENN: Can I tell you something, it was almost a perfect night, when we thought for a second, they may lose Minnesota.

PAT: Yeah. Yeah.

GLENN: It was like, oh, my gosh.

STU: Yeah. They won Minnesota by four points.

PAT: Wow.

GLENN: Four!

STU: Four! That's it.

PAT: Wow.

STU: He almost got Minnesota. He almost got New Jersey too!

PAT: Are you projecting 312? That's what we've got, the countdown. Eventually, it will be 312 to 226. That's a big win.

STU: I think that's right. Yeah.

PAT: That's a big win. And he's up by, what? 5 million in the popular vote. Thank heavens.

STU: Now, that will shrink a lot. That will come down.

PAT: Do you think he's not going to win the popular vote? He's going to win it, right?

GLENN: Shut up, Stu! Shut up!

STU: Gosh. I mean -- I think so. I think so.

PAT: Please say it's so.

GLENN: Stu's about to call a Georgia. He's about to call Georgia.

STU: What are you talking about?
(laughter)

STU: I legitimately -- there are so far, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, along with Alaska, which some places still haven't called.

PAT: Well, that's ridiculous.

STU: But assuming he sweeps all four of those states, he gets to 312. I think there's a possibility that he could lose either one of them. But I do not expect it. I do not expect it.

PAT: Even CNN has it 276. So it's over. It's over.

STU: And the celebration. And the anchor. And Glenn's 14 seconds of calm, coherent thinking, all of that came behind, before we really gave a full update on this.

I mean, Georgia. If you look at the swing states. North Carolina, Donald Trump by three. Georgia, Donald Trump by two. Pennsylvania, Donald Trump by three. Michigan, Donald Trump by two. Wisconsin, Donald Trump by one. Arizona, 63 percent of the vote in, Donald Trump by five.

Nevada, 86 percent of the vote in, Donald Trump by four. So he would swing -- if he -- he would get all seven of the states.

PAT: Wow! Wow!

GLENN: So, Stu, you would say then, that the polls were actually pretty accurate.

STU: Yeah. I think they were pretty good. Now, everybody is going to remember one poll which is the Selzer poll in Iowa, which missed by about 60 million points.

PAT: What an embarrassment for her. What -- it was literally 17 and a half points, she missed by.

GLENN: Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

She did what we were saying none of the others did. And that is, release the outliers. That were way, way, way out. That was part of polling, if you want to be honest.

Now, that's what Stu has just said. Pat, how would you respond to this?

STU: What do you think?

PAT: To the actual outcome of the election? You mean. Something like.
(music)
(laughter)

PAT: Maybe something like that.

GLENN: Something like that. That would be wrong, of course, if --

PAT: Of course. Of course. Especially -- you can't. You just can't.

GLENN: And you can still speak, which is crazy.

STU: Incredible.

GLENN: The -- the -- he's got like iron or US steel vocal cord.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: The -- the -- we haven't done a gloat fest, I think since maybe John Kerry?

PAT: I'll bet it's -- I mean, there's been no reason to. So...

Yeah.

STU: I think we did them in the Tea Party wave election of 2010, I believe. A gloat fest was mixed in there. 2014, maybe, which was a good year for Republicans. But that's probably been the last time.

GLENN: It's been a while. It's been a while. And gosh, it doesn't feel good. Does it? Not at all.

I'm sure, the calls haven't come in yet. But I'm expecting the calls to come in and say, hey, stop gloating. Stop rubbing it in their face. And you're right. You're right.

STU: So do you think the Democrats will take a smart lesson from this and realize, maybe they've overstepped their -- their -- maybe they outran their coverage a little -- their coverage a little bit, when they decided to say, hey, maybe all boys can play girl's sports.

PAT: Right. Right.

STU: And we should be, let's say, taking money from taxpayers and use it to fund transition of criminals in prison? Do you think maybe they'll learn the lesson there? Or do you think it's going to be --

PAT: And what if they thought, hey. I wonder if next time we should nominate someone who at least got one vote from Democrats.

STU: Lessons. Wow, that's a good one, Pat.

We should on write a little book for them, and they can learn some lessons. Like maybe run a campaign that wins votes.

PAT: Right. Right.

GLENN: I predict a -- a historic movement of reflection on the media's part today.

STU: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

GLENN: That would be --

PAT: Really. Yeah.

GLENN: I mean, it's historic, because you get your butt kicked this badly. You destroy your credibility this much.

And I can guarantee you, there won't be any self-reflection at all.

STU: Oh, I think so.

I disagree with that. Actually, I think that stuff is true. There will be a reflection from the media. And they will decide, if only they had called him Hitler one more time. They would have won. If they could have just --

GLENN: Did we call him Hitler enough?

STU: Yeah. If they would have just said fascist, a few more times. Would have just left a few more on the field.

GLENN: I told you. I told you, we should have gone with Pol Pot.

No one is afraid of Hitler anymore.

STU: I mean, that is just.

GLENN: And Pennsylvania will be the killing fields!

STU: No. I think they needed maybe three more handmade's tale references.

If they just come up with a couple more of those.

If they just come up with the red robes, and the red hats. You more time.

This could have gone another way.

PAT: What if they brought up abortion another couple of times? What if they did that? January 6th. Maybe.

STU: Maybe they could have got another one of their donors to try to kill the president again!

Maybe that would be -- it happened twice!

GLENN: Eighth time is the charm.
(laughter)

STU: Unbelievable.

GLENN: It is -- it is unbelievable.

And, you know, I -- think, well, I know, we would have been on the air today, saying, okay.


So what do we do?

What did we do wrong? How are we not connecting? We would have been crying in our soup, you know. Assuming we could afford soup.

But we would have been really depressed today. But there would be self-reflection, and then we would be going, what did we do wrong? How is this message not getting heard? And what are we doing that is -- that is making people not come to this message?

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: They're not going to spend any of that time. None of that.

STU: I think we would have just said, you know, it's because that other side are so hateful, and they don't understand. That's what they're saying. Everybody is a racist and a sexist.

PAT: And they'll break out Russian interference or something. I mean, they will make some kind of excuse for this.

GLENN: They already are, gang. They already are.

STU: I flipped on Morning Joe. President whole thing. All they're doing is coming up excuses, in realtime. And it's every single thing you would think it would be.

PAT: Wow.

STU: There's no reflection. No moment of sanity.

GLENN: Hang on, I just have to -- I just have to play cut one, please. Cut one. MSNBC.

VOICE: Kids watching for the first time election results. They should know that we never had bomb threats, before Donald Trump became a presidential candidate.

STU: What! The Weather Underground was blowing up stuff all over the place.

PAT: My gosh.

GLENN: They didn't threaten. They actually exploded the bombs.

STU: Right.

GLENN: That's the difference.

PAT: Wow!

GLENN: And another super, super favorite. This who couldn't even CNN.

Cut two.

VOICE: Donald Trump is not running for two years.

Kamala Harris has been running for 170. 170 days.

STU: Oh, yeah.

VOICE: So one of my questions is particularly with her candidacy is whether that was just enough time to introduce herself to the country.

STU: Introduce herself. She's the vice president.

PAT: My gosh. It's unreal. It's unreal.

STU: Unreal.

VOICE: Or whether she could have used a little more time.

STU: A couple more weeks.

GLENN: Hang on one last thing I want to play.

And that is, what's coming. They're on to us, guys.

They're on to us. They know, and here they are. Ratting us out.

What our plans are. Cut six.

VOICE: The historians in the future, are allowed to write books.

Boy, that question is open.

PAT: Yeah.

VOICE: And the people who are allowed to go on television, and say what they think, in the future.

Which again, that question is open this morning.

STU: No. It's not.

VOICE: In the future, historians will look back on this day and say, this is the day that America made the choice between freedom and democracy on one side, and authoritarianism and dictatorship.

GLENN: Yes. And we voted for freedom.

STU: Yep.

GLENN: And democracy. And the republic. So congratulations, America.

And, Pat, I don't want to hear that song anymore. Not a single note. No more.

STU: Which song?

PAT: I'm just reflecting on.
(music)

GLENN: All right. Okay. Okay. Stop it right now.

No more of that.
