How Glenn’s European vacation led to a MASSIVE revelation

Glenn explains how his recent vacation to Europe led him to uncover a MASSIVE revelation about what America — and the world — is facing. ‘There it was, standing and staring the world in the face and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen it before,’ he says. This discovery will teach us who the greatest internal threat is, no matter what country you’re living in, Glenn teases. Plus, he describes how conversations with local Europeans made him realize that Americans are NOT ALONE in feeling like our country’s stability, justice, and principles are dangerously at risk…

GLENN: So there's a -- there's a few things that I want to share with you. I really missed you last week. I thought about you all the time. And really, honestly, if I could take people on vacation. My wife wouldn't like this. But if I could take people on vacation, I would, I would. Because, you know, for the first couple of days, it was really, really nice. And I didn't -- I didn't bring my phone. Which I don't ever bring. I didn't bring my iPad. Nothing. And it was really, really nice. And then we went on history tours. And that's when my wife was like, oh, boy, he's back. And that's when I just couldn't wait to tell you some of the things that I learned. Let me give you a couple of the things. First of all, the entire world is feeling the way you're feeling about your country right now. The entire world is feeling like this. PAT: Feeling about the US? Or feeling the same way about their country? GLENN: About their country. Everybody is feeling the same thing. Something is not right. And it is the elites. It's not the people, it's the elites. And it's corrupt. They're all in league with each other. They're completely out of touch. And they're taking us to hell. I don't care who you voted for, what language you speak. I believe the entire world -- the population feels this way. Nobody is reflecting this. Nobody in the press is reflecting. Let me tell you right now, the whole world feels like you do. Now, most of the world, I don't think is paying attention to all of the details. And they're not seeing. Because they're being convinced by their press. And their elites. It's somebody in their country, and the other side, whichever side is not in power, is the problem. And so they're being split, just the same way we are. Well, I spoke to people yesterday. I mean, all last week. Most people, they didn't even about the farmers that are protesting, just north of their own country. But they did know about Ukraine. Couldn't tell you all the details of it. But they all said to me the same thing. What you guys are doing, is crazy. Because we all know. I mean, that is so corrupt. Where is your money going? They all knew. They couldn't name ESG. Because nobody over in Europe has explained ESG. Nobody has written a book over there about it. Nobody is allowed to speak about stuff, over there. They couldn't name it. They couldn't name The Great Reset. Or ESG. But they knew all of the elites were driving to exactly the same place in our country and their country. The government by, of with be and for the people. Has damn near perished from the earth. They are, as we are. Hoping for its swift return. I couldn't believe how many people I met, that may not have really liked Donald Trump, but they all said to me, but he wasn't one of them. And that's why they got him. They were looking for me to say, right? They all knew, Donald Trump was not part of the Kabul. Not part of the elite. Not part of the club. And that's why they all felt, and said they knew this is why Donald Trump was taken down. Many that I spoke to, weren't aware of the gender insanity in America. That seems to be -- it is other places. But it is really an American idea. They could not believe it. They thought they misunderstood. They couldn't believe it, when we spoke about it. One guy said to me, that America had left its post, and the world will quickly realize how important American stability and American justice was. And the -- the comment was, we pray for you, to return. We pray for the people of your country, to wake up, and clean up your own corruption, because we need somebody to support us, as we try to do the same in our country. Because we're all in the same mess. So the first message I have for you is, this is not an American problem. And you need to understand that. Because that's what's keeping us at each other's throats. It's not an American problem. The most important thing that happened to me while I was on vacation, and I -- I think I'm -- I mean, I'm going to talk to my guy who runs TheBlaze today, about, I think I need to go back and spend a couple of weeks, just filming some things, and -- and teach history -- every -- if you don't know history, you won't know the future. And we have -- I really thought I would learn an awful lot about Michelangelo. Et cetera, et cetera. And I did. I learned about art, and architecture. I had these really great people that we had hired to take us around and show us everything. And as art and architecture came alive to me, I realized, wait a minute. This is the way people used to tell stories. So each of these paintings. Each of these buildings. Were built in such a way, or placed in such a place, to be seen to tell a story. Because back then, most people couldn't read. We know this from the carving of the knights of templar. The cathedrals of Europe. The paintings of Leonardo da Vinci. Botticelli. Michelangelo. The Sculpture. David. I completely understood in a way I've never understood. It's almost as if these things spoke to me, in a way that I've never heard or thought about before. All week, my guides kept answering relentless questions. At one point, one turned to me and went, are your children like this? And I said, yes, actually. And she said, wow. That's good. I was asking questions that she kept looking at my wife going, oh. And we would stop, because she would always say, we've got about two hours, unless you ask questions. And it would end up being four hours. And we still wouldn't have completed everything. And she didn't understand. She thought at first, they were unrelated questions about things. Art. Architecture. People. History. But what she didn't know. I was going home every night. And I was reading more about another topic, that I saw was directly aligned. With what I was learning. And so the -- before I left, I said to her, I want to talk to you about, not just medieval and renaissance. But the parallels of the 20th century, and today. And I shared with them, what I had found. And at first, they didn't understand. And it was kind of a language barrier. And then, they were like, oh, no. But that's not possible. You would need this, this, and this. And because I had done my homework, I presented the -- this, this, and this to them. And then they couldn't unsee it. Then they were like, oh, my gosh, how did we not see this is this How is this -- really? Hang on. I have to look that up myself. They couldn't believe them. Part of them didn't want to believe them. But there it was. Standing and staring the world in the face, and I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it before, nor has anyone else. I've looked it up. One person kind of went in this direction, and were quickly shut down. One. About 50 years, 70 years ago. I can tell you, who our greatest internal threat is, no matter what country you're living in. I can tell you what they're building. Because they told us, beginning in the 11th century. This discovery of mine, it's not genius. It's not genius at all. It's not really even a discovery. It's out in the open. Just like the early progressive movement was out in the open. Just as The Great Reset was out in the open. But it wasn't until I personally understood Woodrow Wilson. It wasn't until then, that I could -- that I could explain, wait. This is why progressivism is such a threat. This is why you should care. When I first began learning about Wilson and the Progressive Era, the number one question to me, all the time was, how? How did we get here? How did we get from a country, where we all thought we kind of believed the same thing, to this. You notice, you don't hear that question anymore. You don't hear, how did we get there? Why? Because I believe we answered that question, by teaching the Progressive Era. Once you understood, what progressives really were. And their history. It explained how. The next question was, so what do they want? The answer to that is The Great Reset. But what is the question, that you hear from people, when you tell them, about the Progressive Era, or you tell them about The Great Reset. What is the only question, I think that is left? Why? Why -- why would they do that? I mean, that doesn't make any sense. Why would they do that? It's not a new question. And to fully understand and -- and see the why. In the coming days and weeks, I'm going to let them tell you. Not just in their actions and their words. But their manifesto, that has been carved in stone. I can't believe we missed it. See, this is why they've destroyed our education system. This is why they destroyed history. Because history teaches not just about the past. I don't care -- I won't be able to tell -- actually, I will. But the names will not be important. They won't be important. It's the ideas. The dates, that something was done, doesn't mean jack squat. It's what they did. And that's why history has to be destroyed. It teaches you about your future. Now, here's the other exciting thing. Along the same history-soaked streets, laid the answers to our biggest problems as well. And when I said, well, wait a minute. That was positioned here, because of this, this, and this. At first, they said, no. Well, yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. The answer is embedded there as well. My question to you, over the next few months is going to be, will we repeat history, and lose thousands of years of progress, at least 1500 years of progress? Will we bury our heads in our sand? Will we be led by our emotions? Will we be led by our ignorance? Or will we save the progress, root out the evil, come back together, and build another incredible renaissance. It will be up to us. But the first message I want to give you today is this: You are not alone. Not just here in America. Not just in Canada. Not in Sweden. England. Italy. Germany. Poland. Ukraine. You are not alone. We have a ton in common. And our enemy is not the one we're being led to believe it is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here it is!

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

That's who you'll be.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You're not destined to be alone.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But we think that's life.

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

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

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

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

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Seek the things, that have virtue.

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

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

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

And you will change your life and your world!
