Financial expert WARNS: Left wants a trajectory LIKE VENEZUELA

Americans continue to suffer financially, and many of them — including Glenn — may be wondering: Is now the time to pull assets from today’s tumultuous stock market? Carol Roth, financial expert and author of ‘The War On Small Business,’ joins Glenn to answer similar questions. And while Roth cannot give financial advice based on YOUR individual situation, she does provide insight into market trends and give tips for how to hedge your portfolio. Plus, Roth and Glenn discuss Biden’s recent letter to oil companies, in which the president warned his ‘emergency authorities’ may take over if they don’t do as told. But that’s similar to how Venezuela’s downfall began, Roth explains, and now the median net worth there is ZERO DOLLARS. And unfortunately, she says, it seems that’s the trajectory today’s far-left wants to take too…

GLENN: Thank you. Now I feel so much safer, now that the federal government has had the last word there. Carol Roth, welcome to the program. How are you, Carol?

CAROL: Oh, you know, just watching the market implode, and, you know, watching the lies come out of the White House. So just another day under Building Back Better, Glenn. How about you?

GLENN: I know. Oh, great.

Let me ask you a question: I've taken money out of the stock market. But I also have gotten burned before, by taking it out. And missing the upside, et cetera, et cetera. And my guy, who watches over my investments. He's like, Glenn, Glenn, it's going to come back. I'm like, I know it will come back. But, you know, I'm nearing 60. So if it's back in ten years, I'm going to start needing that money. Should have any money? I took about 50 percent out. Should you have any money in the market at this point? Have any idea of what's coming?

CAROL: Yeah. So, you know, obviously this is not financial advice. And I think that you did the right thing by talking to your financial adviser. Because obviously it makes a difference. If you're closer to retirement. Or if you're somebody who is younger or has the time to wait it out. The reality is, we don't know. If I knew, and I had this crystal ball, I would be on a yacht on the Mediterranean, and not on your program, as much as I adore you. But that's what I would be doing.

GLENN: Yeah, no, I know. I wouldn't have a program.

(laughter)

CAROL: So the reality is: You know, they show you over long periods of time, that people who take money out of the market, tend to miss the biggest up days in the market. You know, in these bear market situations, there are these kind of bull rallies that happen. And if you miss the ten best days of the market, over, you know, a ten or 20-year period, that ends up killing the returns that you get on your portfolio.

GLENN: Correct.

CAROL: So I do think, especially if you have a longer time horizon, that you should not panic. You know, you never want to be the one selling when the market is down. As you want to be buying. Not that I'm saying to buy today. But you should be also hedging your portfolio. And maybe realigning it. And I think it's a good time to maybe look at the types of investments you have in your portfolio. If you are looking at these high-flying growth companies. With weak balance sheets, you know, that don't make any money. You know, those are the ones that will struggle. If they have these rock solid balance sheets. They generate tons of cash. They're in an industry that can pass price increases on to the consumer. You know, those are the ones that will survive, and they're ultimately going to thrive. So, you know, that's the type of thing you should be talking to your financial advisor about, is maybe repositioning the portfolio right now.

GLENN: So what's really crazy, because of ESG. Right now, would be the time -- if I'm not mistaken. You know Wall Street. But right now would be the time that you would think, you've got to get into oil and gas. Because they'll make a killing. They'll invest. And we'll start to really boom. And they'll make a killing on it. But that's not true anymore. Because the market is not free. Oil and gas, is it even smart to do that now?

CAROL: So it depends on your perspective. I'm the follow the money kind of person. And obviously, like you said, the ESG push president the green push. The decarbonization push is so entrenched. You know that they're going to throw more money at that. And they've been keeping money from these sort of traditional areas of investment. So the question you have to ask yourself. And, again, I wish I could tell you the answer. I can only tell you what to think about in terms of the question. Is do you think that we're going to see a reversal, of course? Because right now, part of the reason that everything is so expensive, is because we have had all this capital being directed away from the industry. And there's severe underinvestment in all types of fossil fuels and traditional energy sources. So the play that you're going to have to go through in your mind is do you think that something is going to change? Or eventually here, we get some temporary relief. And then the green people continue to march on, and, you know, completely kill our -- our dependence on fossil fuels.

GLENN: What's frightening is that letter that came from Biden yesterday, where he said to the oil companies, I have emergency orders, where I will begin to direct this. This is what Hugo Chavez did. And it was over for Venezuela.

CAROL: Okay. So let's go back into whatever it is -- 50, 60 years ago. Venezuela was the fourth wealthiest country in the world. And like you said, their powers that be, said, we have wealth inequality. We need to hand this over to the government. We'll make sure that you are all rich. And they nationalized oil and a bunch of industries. Do you know what the median net worth in Venezuela is today, Glenn?

GLENN: Oh, I don't -- I'm afraid. No, I don't.

CAROL: It's zero. I'm not making this up. This comes from the Credit Suisse report on world wealth. The median net worth -- they went from the fourth wealthiest country in the world, to a median net worth -- not even an average -- a median of zero. The midpoint of the country's net worth is zero, because they nationalized the oil and gas industry. And the wealth, and that is the trajectory they want to take us down here.

GLENN: So, Carol, is it unreasonable to say. I mean, you know, Biden is lying to us about gas and oil and ESG and all of that stuff. He's just out and out lying to us. Is it unreasonable to say, that that's the way you get people to own nothing, by 2030?

CAROL: I mean, it's certainly one huge element of it. I mean, just think of. If we had, you know, some retraction of our energy. Where one day a week, we couldn't, you know, have enough energy to power electricity. Or to get us to where we need to be. And we all had to move to four-day workweeks. Think of the productivity that we would lose. Think of how our GDP would shrink. Think of the rolling consequences of that, throughout the economy. And, yeah. That's a really good way to start killing the ownership of people. But, Glenn, they have so many different ways they are trying to attack you, and make sure you don't own anything. That's just one of the tools in their pockets.

GLENN: Oh, I know. I will tell you, I'm up here in my ranch. I live in a town of very, very small. The next biggest town over is 5,000. And it is -- it's all ranchers. It's all farmers. And regular people. Dairy men. And they're all terrified. I mean, they can't buy water. Water is already at a premium, and now the state of Washington and the state of Idaho is talking about taking down the dams, which would destroy the energy here. And it would destroy all of the water. I live in a desert. Okay? It's a high-mountain desert. A lot of farms and cattle are here. And on top of that, they're also expressing to me fear, that they'll even be able to keep their land.

CAROL: I think these are real concerns. And I hope the place you're in is gulch, because we've been looking for it, for quite some time. But the reality of it is, the wealthiest people in the United States. You know, the Bill Gates. The Harvard hedge fund. They have all been buying up, not only land, but water rights. So it's something that we do need to keep a very close eye on. Because the question is, you know, why do they think this is such a good investment. You know, they're looking for return on their investment.

GLENN: Right.

CAROL: So what do they think is going to happen with the prices, that they're making investments, in farmland, and in water rights. An area. You know, it's one of those. I'll call it a dark gray swan. Because obviously we've talked about it. But really, not enough people are focused on it. And to the extent, you have this rationing of water, on top of everything else. I mean, I can't even imagine that scenario, and the social unrest that comes with that.

GLENN: So we have 30-year mortgage rates. They were, last week, 5.5 percent. This week, they're now at 6.28 percent. And the fed raised the rates yesterday. What is this going to mean?

CAROL: Oh, I do think they came down a little bit today. But, yeah. It's still very high. This is a very challenging question, and the challenging question is because we have such a supply and demand imbalance, in the housing market. Again, because of all of the idiotic things, that the powers that be have done over the past couple of decades. So we have an undersupply, that's estimated four to five plus million houses. And that's what has supported, you know, these high prices in housing. Plus, you have all of these corporate buyers who are flush with cash, who are coming in. And they are buying up -- talk about you will own nothing. They are buying up housing. The thing that makes people gain general racial wealth. And they're doing it with all cash. So they don't need a mortgage. And sometimes they're not looking. They're not even doing an inspection. So they're getting very, very favorable outcomes. So, I mean, yeah. In terms of what happens with the housing industry. The mortgage rates are going to keep first-time buyers. And people who are just able to afford out of the market even further. You know, they were already hurt, because of the inflated asset bubble. Whether that means -- we'll certainly see some cooling off. I don't think we'll see a 2008, 2009 type implosion. Because we just don't have enough houses. And I don't think right now people are overleveraged.

GLENN: So let's -- let's -- let's continue this conversation here in a second. Let me take one minute to break. But, you know, Canada said already. One out of every four houses, I think it is, is underwater. Or they can't -- they can't afford to keep their mortgage. And if it goes up, I think another point, they said, it will be like 50 percent. The people won't be able to -- so is Canada different from us? Because that sounds like a 2008. We'll get to that question here in just a second. By the way, Texas leads the nation. Texas leads the nation in homes being sold to companies like BlackRock. More homes in Texas are being sold to these corporate raiders than anyplace else in America. That's got to make you feel good.

All right. Let me tell you about the Tuttle Twins book. This is the way that you can teach your kids about business and economics and how to start their own business. And why you should be an entrepreneur. Our kids are not being trained to accept risk at all. There is no risk. It's due to them. They want it, and why risk? You know, the federal government should bail me out, if I've made a mistake. Well, you can't run a capitalist system, with people who are risk averse. You just can't. So get this book from the Tuttle Twins for free. Today and tomorrow, are the last day you can get it. The Tuttle Twins and their spectacular show business. You'll get it for free. Just pay for the shipping at TuttleTwinsBeck.com. The cost of shipping. You're going to -- everyone should have this. If you are a parent -- if you are a grandparent. They have all kinds of different books. This one you can get for free for all different ages. But this one is so important. I wanted to make sure that you can get it just for the price of shipping. This ends tomorrow. So please, get this book now. TuttleTwinsBeck.com. That's TuttleTwinsBeck.com. Ten-second station ID.

GLENN: So over one in five Canadians expect rising interest rates to have significant negative impact, one in four say that they will be forced to sell their home, if interest rates increase any further. So it's not as bad as I thought it was. One in four. Is Canada different than we are. They don't have a shortage of homes?

CAROL: So Canada has a massive shortage of homes. They have a very different scenario, than we have here. Because they have even more foreign investment, that has come in, particularly from China, on an even lower supply of homes. So there's a great chart. And I was trying to find it during the break. And I'm going to have to circle back on that one. But I'll put it back into my Twitter stream. But there is this incredible chart, that shows the median income for Canada, versus home value. Versus the US. And the home values, compared to the incomes in Canada, are so out of whack, vis-à-vis, where the U.S. is. That absolutely, they're knew, much more in an area of a crisis. And I have friends who are in Canada, and they go, yeah. My house is worth all this money, but I can't sell it, because where am I going to go? I have nowhere else to go and downsize into. So that is a really big issue, that is different for them, in a bad way, versus here in the US.

GLENN: Carol, there was a -- this really nasty socialist extremist group that we exposed, that is pretty much running the agenda of the White House. At least I think, they gave the president a list of ten or 20 things. And he's done almost all of them verbatim, except for the last one on the list is, just declare a national emergency. And it's on climate. And it makes me so nervous to see him so willing to say to the gas and oil companies yesterday, that this is an emergency. And he will declare an emergency, and just take things over. That's what he's been saying and leading to for climate change. I think this is going to affect an emergency with food as well. And then eventually, jobs. What does it mean, that the fed rate has now -- or the fed growth is down at 0.0? I think that's intentional. So we don't have a month headed towards a recession. But what are we facing?

CAROL: I mean, we are facing a bunch of people who are completely disconnected with reality. And like you said, they may be the puppets of nefarious actors. It makes absolutely no sense. And it's so frustrating. Because, yes, we do have an emergency. And they're the ones that caused it. And they could get us out of this emergency. They could shore up economic security. They could shore up national security. By just doing a 180 on policy. It's pretty clear, if you're saying, there is an emergency here. We need to do something. But it's not just an emergency today. It's an emergency for the long-term. So it would be really great, to say -- for them to say, you know what, we understand. Maybe we got this wrong. Or, you know, we're in a different situation. If they don't want to admit that they're wrong. And we're going to continue the green agenda. But we don't want to have fossil fuels, come out of Venezuela or the Middle East. Or these countries that will do it in a fashion that is less clean. And we want to lead the way with the clean fossil fuels, and we're going to become the leader. And we're going to shore up your economic security. We're going to shore up national security. We're going to shore up the security for our allies. And that's the plan going forward. And I don't care. Take credit -- pretend this is your brainstorm, and none of us knew this. If you want the credit for it. I don't care. I just want to make sure we don't have all those things, that you talked about. The food insecurity. The rolling blackouts. The social unrest that comes with that. And that leading us into full-scale global war. I mean, that is potentially where we are headed. And he could change all of that today.

GLENN: The problem is, people keep saying, they won't admit that they're wrong. But I am -- and maybe it's the cynic in me. But I've just seen too much. I don't believe they are wrong. I think they're getting the results, that they want.

CAROL: Yeah.

GLENN: This is -- this is too -- too perfect, in destroying the country.

CAROL: Yeah.

GLENN: You know what I mean? You -- you can't be wrong this consistently.

(music)

CAROL: What would I be doing differently, if you were trying to do it intentional?

GLENN: Yeah. Exactly right. Carol Roth, thank you so much for being on with us. We'll talk to you again, next week about cryptocurrency, et cetera. You can follow her on Carol J. Roth, on Twitter. Or find her website. CarolRoth.com. Back with Mo Brooks and the economy, next.

“Miracles CAN happen”: Glenn’s Thanksgiving message after the 2024 election

The events of the 2024 election have given Glenn a new outlook on Thanksgiving this year. For years, he has been begging freedom-loving Americans to stand up for what’s right and return to God. And this year, you did! You gave Donald Trump a strong mandate to gut the Deep State and fix our broken nation. And then, there were the “miracles” of Trump surviving multiple assassination attempts and an endless bombardment from the media and our justice system. This Thanksgiving, there’s a lot for us to be thankful for!

GLENN: So, Stu, how old were you in 1985.

STU: I was nine.

GLENN: You were nine. So you were probably just -- you remember Reagan, clearly.

STU: Yeah. I mean, back to the future, one of my all-time favorite movies.

1955.

'85. That was the year it took place. I remember that distinctly.

GLENN: And you have real memories of the Cold War.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

Of course, Rocky IV, the movie that ended the Cold War. You can accept the time line in your life.

GLENN: Right. So there was a guy that I don't know if you would have remembered.

He was a comedian and he came from around the Iron Curtain, and he and his family got out of the former Soviet Union.

He became a huge hit at the time, because we really didn't see former Soviet citizens.

And especially ones that could tell jokes. And his name was Yakov Smirnoff. Do you remember him?

STU: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Do you remember him? I just saw something from him, the other day, about Thanksgiving. And I haven't seen this. I don't know if I even say it in 1985, but it's worth listening to.

Here he is. Yakov Smirnoff, just fresh from the Soviet Union, talking about Thanksgiving. Listen to this.

VOICE: It's Thanksgiving. And I will tell you, it's my favorite holiday. I like parades without missiles.

When I first was explained about Thanksgiving in America. I said, wait a minute. It doesn't make sense.

I mean, for every freedom. And all the opportunities you've got here. The only thing you have to say is thanks?

It just didn't seem like it was enough.

My parents and I had our first Thanksgiving dinner. In the little apartment in New York.

And we joined hands. And my father said a prayer to good food and our health.

And then something happened.

Instead of releasing our hands. We couldn't let go.

We kept holding on to each other, tighter and tighter. As we realized, we were together. And we were free.

Really free.

And here we were, three who don't even people, looking for a way, we could possibly show our appreciation.

And we couldn't.

Now, I know what it is.

It's thanks.

Good night.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: If you're watching it, you can see that he tears up at the end. There's no words to express thanks. And we have lost -- we have lost that.

The deep, deep gratitude for our lives. I have felt it overt last year. Unlike I've ever felt gratitude for my freedom. My safety. My family's safety.

Being born here. And now, especially after the election, you know, God -- miracles can happen in your life all the time. Just quote, chance encounters. Is it a chance encounter?

Or is that an answer to a prayer? Is that Divine Providence?

Miracles come, when there's really no other explanation. When something that just, you all have agreed that just can't happen. Happens.

Donald Trump, getting shot at. So close, that the camera picks the bullet up.

Speeding toward his head. And just before it goes into his head. He moves his head, in a way he never is it before.

And it clips his ear. Instead of going right into the temple.

That doesn't happen. That doesn't happen. To have a politician, or a guy, who is constantly beat on. Constantly smeared.

Had more investigations done on him, than I -- and I believe this to be true. I would love to see an actual study on this.

Somebody who had more investigations, more spies on him.

More -- you know, going through the trash and everything else.

More than anyone else in human history, by far! Because every spy agency, in the world, did that!

And then they went back and said, there's got to be something else!

For him to just continue to stand, and then when somebody tries to kill him, his first response is, stand up!

And then, for him not to be angry, but instead, to be humbled.

What are the odds there? For him to continue to go on, and, in fact, continue to stand.

Do you know -- his plane was targeted.

His plane was targeted.

We know that there are surface to air missiles. We know that he was going to be targeted by foreign entities, that are here.

For him to just get on his plane every time, the man knew he was risking his life.

For him to run the campaign, that he ran, in the last he eight months. You remember what it was like?

It was all, you know, they're after me.

And all of this stuff. Because they were after him. But did you notice, after the assassination attempt, when he could have said, instead, he had a much more uniting message.

And a happier message.

And a positive message.

And then for all of these people to building out of the woodwork. And start to say. You know what, this is evil.

I heard more talk from people who are not Christians!

More talk from people going, there is something seriously wrong.

And I think it's evil, what's going on.

America woke up. I've been doing this for 50 years. On the radio. Almost 50 years.

I've been -- I've been doing this, warning people for 24 years.

I didn't think you would wake up. Stu brought it up, you know, our theme is, you know, stand up.

We wrote that theme four years ago, because if you don't stand up, we're done.

And we put that on, and I tried to make that an encouraging thing to convince people, you've got to stand up right now. We're going to lose everything.

It's okay to stand up.

It's the only way. You stood up!

After 24 years of the same message, coming from me, in different ways! Where I had lost hope.

I mean, I said to you, all last year, we've got to find God!

We've got to -- we've got to be people, where God thinks, you know what, they're worth saving.

I said to you over and over again. I can come up with a million ways, this is going to go wrong. But there's on me one path for it to succeed.

And that is God.

And he showed up!

He showed up! He's not done with us.

He should be. Honestly, he should be. With everything that we do, for as -- for as big of a miracle as that is. I think a lot of people.

I mean, I heard it right after the election. Wow!

That was a miracle. And people meant it as a literal miracle.

That was a miracle. Yeah! It was.

Next week, will we even remember it, by next Thursday?

Or will we make the holiday that was built to humble ourselves and to thank God for our blessings.

Will we even remember the massive miracle?

Stu, would you agree, one of the miracles you've seen in your life for America.

I mean, that was a miracle. That that happened.

In the way that it did. All of a sudden, the messaging was right. All of the right things fell into place.

You know, for the first time ever, the G.O.P. was serious on their ground game.

I mean, all of these things that happened.

STU: I thought you were just referring to him turning his head.

GLENN: Yeah. And that. All of that.

From that moment on, all of that was a miracle.

Let's not forget that next week. He's not -- he's not done with us.

You know, I heard somebody say to me, on Election Day, I feel really good. I feel really good.

I'm cautious, but I feel really good. And here's why: Why would he recognizing the miracle of the assassination attempt. Why would he save Donald Trump, only to not save it now?

I couldn't think of a reason.

Other than, I don't understand the mind of God.

Think of this miracle.

If Donald Trump would have won in 2020. It would have been more of the first term.

We wouldn't get what we're about to get now.

We wouldn't get the reduction of the government. We wouldn't get possibly the closing down of some agencies, of cutting these agencies in half. We wouldn't have gotten those things.

We wouldn't have Elon Musk. We wouldn't have Vivek Ramaswamy.

We wouldn't have known. Remember, they didn't start cutting our children, until the Biden administration.

None of us had any idea about all this transgender stuff, because that and DEI, if you brought it up, it wasn't being done at least as openly.

But it was all set to go.

It wasn't being done, until Biden got in.

And then when we said, what the hell is all this?

They said, it was a conspiracy theory. And it took us three years, to go, no, it's not.

It's not a conspiracy theory, and it's deadly. It took us three years, before the doctors even started to turn.

It took COVID to wake people up. There is no bad!

There really -- my father used to say this to me. Glenn, there is no bad.

It's what do you do with the bad things that happen to you.

You can either wallow in. And say, oh, that was bad.

Or you can recognize, that sucked!

But what did I learn from it? What did I take?

How can I take that and turn that into a blessing?

COVID was a blessing in the end. Because it woke people up!

Tomorrow, I have some surgery, then I go on vacation.

It's not a big surgery. It's just, I have facial surgery, again.

Because I guess I'm out of room on my face, for more cancer. So they have to take some cancer off my face. So I can grow new cancer.

I don't know what -- this never ends.

But this is my last chance to talk to you before Thanksgiving.

And this is my last chance before Thanksgiving to sincerely thank the Lord for showing up, for sincerely blessing our country.

For showing me a miracle. Two. One that I saw in North Carolina where people were standing because God told them, come from across the country.

I know you don't know anybody.

I know you don't think you're going to be able to make a difference.

But just go.

And they got in their cars. And they drove across the country. And those people were put to work in ways, that I couldn't have served!

Maybe you couldn't have served. But they actually did it! And God worked a miracle. And then he worked this.

Please, even if it is just holding the hands around the table. Just for an extra minute, there is nothing that we can say to him.

More meaningful than just thank you.

Thank you, Lord, for an incredible experience.

Thank you for letting us live at this time, to be in your service. Thank you for waking us up.

Thank you for giving us the reason to stand. Happy Thanksgiving.

How to interact with TRUMP-HATING family members this Thanksgiving

Sunny Hostin of “The View” recently argued that people may be justified in refusing to see their Trump-supporting relatives this Thanksgiving because he’s just that bad. But that’s a terrible message, Glenn says. Politics should NEVER come before family. Glenn responds to a post from BlazeTV and “Fearless with Jason Whitlock” contributor Shemeka Michelle, who is dealing with a similar situation – friends refusing to speak to her because of her support for Trump.

GLENN: So the holidays are -- are such an important time for us to be able to come back together at the table. And there are people on all sides saying, I can't -- I can't get back together with my family.

Let me tell you something.

My family has my traditional family. You know, from way back when I was growing up.

My family.

And now, my family extended and -- and even, you know, with me and my kids.

We've gone through really rough times.

The last few years, have been just deadly.

To my family.

And we are in the struggle of holding absolutely everything together.

And it is hard. But it is worth it, in the end.

My biggest fear, honestly, is becoming my dad. I always wanted to be my dad, in many ways. Because he was always very open-minded. And he was really, really brilliant.

He always questioned everything.

He was very tolerant. And he was hard-working. But in the end, he just became very, very bitter.

And the family -- I mean, he just blew up the family at the end.

And my biggest fear is becoming my father. And I just -- I was awake all last night. Just thinking about that.

All -- tossed and turned for maybe three hours. Just thinking about that.

Because our family is -- we're just having problems.

And all I want is my family to be together.

Be together for the holidays. Be together for Christmas.

And even if we're mad at each other or whatever.

Still, just family is the only thing that you have at the end of your life. That's it.

And so people are now encouraging others. The ladies The View.

At least they disagreed on this. On skipping family Thanksgiving.

Play cut 12.

Let me just play this real quick.

VOICE: Whatever your reason is. I would never let my politics be the reason I don't show up to see my family.

VOICE: I'm going to disagree. I completely understand her point.

Because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump. Is just a different type of candidate.

From the things he said, and the things he's done. And the things he will do. It's more of a moral issue for me. And I think it's more of a moral issue for other people.

We're just -- you know, I would say it was different when let's say Bush got elected. You know, you may not have agreed with his policies.

But you didn't feel like he was a deeply flawed person -- deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality.

STU: Yeah. They called him a terrorist all the time.

VOICE: They called him flawed.

GLENN: Okay. Stop.

So the going back and forth on this. First of all, if -- if -- no matter which side you're on, I think we can say, it's a moral issue. On both sides.

You can say, it's a moral issue.

He's Hitler. Well, he's not. Well, if you really believe he's Hitler. It's a deeply moral issue.

But it was a deeply moral issue on our side too. Your candidate was for killing babies, all the way up until and in some cases, after birth. There can't be a bigger moral issue.

Your candidate was going after people, because they disagreed with them.

They called Catholics. And parents, showing up at parent meetings. At school. And called them terrorists.

It was a deem moral issue for us too.

You're -- you're mutilating children.

So don't take the moral high ground, that you were the only ones that thought it was a moral issue.

We did are too.

We just disagreed. Now, what does that have to do with me being your father. Or your uncle.

Or your brother?

Your dad?

What does -- what does that have to do with thinking?

Because this too shall pass.

But what won't pass ever, throughout all of the eternities, is our relationship with one another.

We have become so small, that -- that we think that this is the -- this is the most important thing.

It's not.

Do you know who sha Mika Michelle is?

STU: She's on the Jason Whitlock show.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: She posted something the other day. She said, I have a, air quotes, friend who wasn't sure how to hold space for me.

Those are quotes.

As someone who supported Trump. After the election, she stated she needed to protect her peace, and we haven't spoken since. When she comes to her senses, and I know she will, should I welcome her back with open arms?

Because honestly, I'm thinking about giving her the finger, like, F-U.

After we've been through, you sided with baby killers, and those willing to castrate kids.
Go to hell. She asked for thoughts.

And so, Shemika, if I may, I understand how you feel. I really do. I really, really do.

But I think maybe because my family has been divided politically for so long, because of what I do.

You know, it started way before -- you know, it started with Barack Obama.

No. It started with George Bush.

And so I've been going through this the whole time. That I've built in a little bit more armor.

Whatever. Whatever.

It doesn't -- whatever.

This is not important.

Not going to argue with you.

And I'm not going to try to change your mind.

I'm going to try to be a peacemaker.

Last -- one of the holiday. No. It was during the holiday reunion.

There were two members of my family that vote radically different than me.

And see life, radically different than I do.

But I love them. They're good people.

I just love them.

And they were like, you know, uncle Glenn. We can talk to you.

We just want to understand some things.

And I'm like, good. Because I want to understand some things too.

And we just had a really good open conversation, where neither of us were trying to win, we were just trying to understand each other. Because we knew in the end, we will always be related to each other. And I don't have enough family to blow them off.

You know, it's not like my grandfather. I think my who can't understand mother had 18 children. Fourteen of them lived.

And I don't have that. I have two sisters. I have a few nieces and nephews.

I have two grandchildren. I have four children. I don't have enough!

They're all valuable to me. I would ask, and it's -- it will be easier for us because we're -- we're the winners this time.

So it will be easier for us to say, you know, get over it. What's the big deal?

It's still a big deal to people. And you really have to understand, you know, if you've read my book. Propaganda Wars.

You know the brainwashing that's gone on.

I mean, we talk about it, in the book.

And we show you, how to dismantle that in your own life, to make sure you're not a part of it.

You're not spreading it. And it hasn't affected you.

How to find the truth.

These -- these -- actually feel sorry, for not the ones who know what they're doing.

But for the ones that actually believe that they're going to round people up that disagree with them. Because I will be on the front lines. And I think you could probably say this true.

If they started rounding people up because they disagreed. I will be on your side. I will stand with you. I will be with you. They start with the Bill of Rights, and it's in gross ways. I am with you.

I'm for the Bill of Rights. I'm for all of your rights.

I hope you're for all of mine. We're going to disagree on policies. We're going to disagree on how to get there. But my there, should be your there.

I believe all men are free. All men are created equal. You know, you come into this world equal. You leave equal. You leave with nothing!

Except what you've done in your life. And how you lived your life. Who you worship. How you worshiped. Did you serve?

Did you ask for forgiveness? Did you work that forgiveness in your life?

I have more stuff in my life to apologize for than to Pat myself on the back or say, well, thank you. That was a great went I did. I have many more things to apologize for, than any of that. We're all flawed. We're all just trying to figure it out.

We don't want to control people's lives.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Be the peacemaker. Blessed be the peacemakers.

But remember, peacemakers are the ones who stand up for other people's long-term peace. You may have to say things that are true, that are tough.

GLENN: Don't give any ground on truth, but there might be other ways to say the truth, that they can hear it. And you don't have to say everything.

But if you want to be a peacemaker in your life, you have to stand for what is true, universally true.

So others -- our children, our children's children can have peace in their day. That's what it means to be a peacemaker.

But it comes to your family, don't ever listen to anybody who says, don't talk to your family.

That's what cults do.
