On his final full broadcast of the Biden era, Glenn takes a look at what’s coming to an end when Trump takes office on Monday, January 20th, and what’s hopefully coming next. This is the end of an era of lies and destruction, of pure madness and unquestioning obedience to the so-called “experts.” It’s the beginning of the end of diversity being twisted into a weapon. Trump has a long road ahead of him, but he has the opportunity to renew America and start a new Golden Era.

STU: Three days, Glenn! Three days!GLENN: Until the fundamental transformation of America.
STU: Yeah. No more of this guy. No more of her. No more of them.
GLENN: You know, but I think it's a lot bigger than that.
I was thinking about this today when I was driving in. That this administration exiting. Is not just another exit of a president. It's not the same. And it -- it wasn't like this in 16.
Although, we hoped it would be.
But it is this time.
Because the people and the feeling in the country, even among Democrats, is different now. We're about to turn the page. And enter a new era, or a new chapter.
We're really standing on the edge.
Monday is a moment far larger than politics. But it's only the beginning. It's not just the end of a presidency. Not the changing of the guard. It is truly the end of an era. An era marked by madness, by confusion. By division. Distortion. Deafening cacophony of chaos.
All of that has drowned out reason and common sense. And it -- you know, it didn't -- it didn't start yesterday.
As much as the left tried to make this all about words.
By twisting meaning. Redefining words.
Or using words, quite honestly, to use their words. In mis, dis, or malinformation.
This era is not going to be remembered by the words, but by the actions of those who spoke, the millions of those meaningless words. We can see right now the destruction of our economy. Our security.
The -- and really, really clear terms, in the homes and the hearts of California. That it is the action of people that matter more than simple words.
By their -- by their fruits, ye shall know them. The fruit of this tree is rotted, and people now are beginning to see that.
Now, like I said, this didn't begin four years ago. It turned it up to volume number ten, but this has been brewing for decades. It has been in our institutions, far longer than any of us realized.
Metastasizing in our culture, our institutions, and our hearts. And hardening our hearts.
It is an era that we leave on Monday, that put truth itself on trial. Can you even define what truth is, anymore?
We -- we went into this place, that was so absurd, we couldn't define something as fundamental and self-evident as, can you tell me what a woman is?
Historians are going to look back on this last era that we're now leaving, as pure madness.
But it's also a time, when it took everything in people, to question the powerful mob.
To speak the truth, that you believe. It was a -- it was a risk that at first, far too many people wouldn't do. Because they were afraid of being shouted down.
Cancelled.
Or much, much worse.
Common decency. The once unspoken bond that united us, was thrown out the window.
It became not only unfashionable. But absolutely unrecognizable.
And everybody was at each other's throats. Common sense. Our old friend, just dismissed. Exiled seemingly to the fringes of our society.
As if it were dangerous now. Or just wildly outdated. And we know that happen. We didn't know that yesterday. But we know that today.
And I mean, literally yesterday. How many words changed. How many things. Concepts. Huge truths that we knew.
We wake up one day, and it was completely being dismissed.
And we would be like, where did this come from?
We're leaving a time of breathtaking hypocrisy. Where those who deny corruption themselves take bribes from hostile nations, where the righteous call for unity, while sowing division.
This era, racism has been repackaged and sown back to us under the guise of antiracism.
Hatred, we're told me, is perfectly fine, as long as it's aimed at the right people.
And those right people, may be the wrong people, tomorrow!
Faith in God, has been replaced by faith in climate models. Sexuality. Identity.
In this last era they can't be we're now getting ready to leave. All of those religions had their own dog has. Their high priests. Their rituals. And above all, their lack of forgiveness.
Meaning, that they were anti-Christ. Teachings.
But somehow or another. Many of our churches embraced them, as the message of Christ.
There cannot be Christ in any message, that doesn't include forgiveness.
But this isn't where the story ends. We thought before this election, this might be where our story ends.
But here is the really unbelievable news.
God stepped in.
And if you don't recognize that, there is no hope for us.
God stepped in and did something none of us could do.
First of all, he saved the president's life twice. And if you think that was a Secret Service. You're nuts!
God saved him, twice!
God changed him.
And suddenly our society is waking up. This guy, who is not our savior, won!
And people started flocking to him, and willing to take bold stands and say, you know what, all this crap. It's wrong!
So this is not the end of an era, alone. It's the beginning of the end of that era. The end of unreasonable hatred of others. Not because they look different.
Simply because they voted differently.
They didn't think differently.
You know, there was nothing about actual diversity.
It was all about voting!
It's the end of unquestioning obedience to the so-called media. And experts, who demand that we followed them, without question, into the slaughterhouse. Hoping, I guess.
Hoping against hope, many of us, that if we would just comply, our turn on the chopping block would never come.
It's the end of the era of, my body, my choice.
In everything -- in everything else, other than killing your baby. You can kill your baby, my body my choice.
Well, it's not your body that's being killed. It's the baby's body.
Makes no sense. But, boy, oh, boy.
Not with masks. Not with vaccines.
Not with the basic right to just use your legs and leave your home!
It's the end of an era where we have to ask ourself, whose side is this government on?
Who is actually running this thing?
What is the actual plan that our leaders have? How -- how is this helping the average American?
Who is actually the president?
That ends on Monday. It's the beginning of the end. There's a lot of work to do.
But it's the beginning of the end of diversity, twisted into a weapon. Where diversity of thought, values, and spirit, were just disregarded. Replaced by a narrow, suffocating dogma, that demanded conformity in all ways. Even if you were conforming yesterday, and then somehow or another, through the ether, the mob decided what was true yesterday. Is no longer true today.
The mob would get you!
On anything you disagreed with. It's the end of the era where dissent was met not with debate. But with just now, meaningless labels. Racist.
Fascist. Bigot.
I think it's really important, that all of us recognize, this is not about Democrats. There are a lot of Democrats that actually woke up. It's not about Democrats.
It's not about Republicans. I think both of them stink, quite honestly.
I do, and that's the message of this new administration. And you see it with diversity of people, that are actually in this administration. We don't agree in lockstep on everything.
Far from it! The establishment in the Democrats and the Republicans do. But this isn't about Democrat, Republicans, liberals, conservative, independent.
This is truly about something much, much deeper that begins Monday.
It's older and far more grander than a political party. It is truly about the rebirth or the rediscovering of what it truly means to be free!
Monday marks the rebirth of something absolutely extraordinary!
Things we used to find self-evident. The freedoms guaranteed just in our First Amendment. The freedom to question our government.
They work for us!
We don't work for them!
The freedom to speak our mind! Even the most unpleasant and disruptive things. You are allowed to say! The freedom to worship. To live out your beliefs. To be who you are, without demanding that others speak, affirm, or even accept your truth.
You know, the one thing that we have forgotten in this last era, that I hope we are remembering. Is that this nation weren't built by people who all walked in lockstep.
They didn't agree on everything.
In fact, far from it. It was built by people who often vehemently disagreed on the path forward.
But they shared the common commitment to respecting each other's rights, and fulfilling their own responsibilities.
It was built on the idea, that disagreement, when handled with humility and respect, makes us stronger, not weaker!
Diversity of thought is important.
Diversity of skin color doesn't matter.
And so as we say farewell to an era of absolute chaos, it's really important that we don't say goodbye in anger or bitterness. And that is hard!
We can't alienate our neighbors, our assume the worst of those who see the world differently, if we agree on the rebirth of the Bill of Rights, and each responsibility that is tied to those rights.
Monday, I hope we recognize, that this is an end of an era this weekend. And Monday is an invitation to rebuild. To restore. To renew.
An era, a golden era. An era that is dawning. Just in front of all of us.
And it belongs to all of us. Not just those who won an election. Or share my view.
Or your view.
It's an era that can only succeed if we remember the lessons of the past. And commit to something better.
To restore hope. Not just in our institutions. But in each other.
Renew our faith. Not just in God.
Though, that's vital. But also in the idea that people, flawed, though they are, can be capable of incredible good. Seek restoration, not just of our economy and our government, but of our hearts, of our communities, of our families. Our shared understanding of what it means to be human.
And to be free! This weekend, I want you to bid farewell to all of the chaos. It's the beginning of the end.
There will be more chaos as we go. But as we lay it down, leave it behind.
Walk forward.
Leave your fear behind.
Walk in encourage. Not in hatred. But in love.
Because the truth is, this country has faced darker days than these.
I didn't think we would make it here, gang!
But every time this country seems to find the light just at the end. And we found it. But it's just flickering, still so fragile in mighty gusts of wind. But what will happen is not because of a president or Congress or a court. It will all happen because of you! So don't wait for anybody else. Lead the way.
Be the one who chooses faith over fear. Courage over conformity. Love over hatred.
Let's be the ones who our words are meaningless. But our actions speaks volumes. The that one shows the world, that freedom actually works. Not because it's easy. But because it is right!
