Glenn recently traveled to Mar-a-Lago to attend a PragerU event, but got a chance to talk with President-elect Donald Trump as well. Glenn discusses everything he can about the shocking conversation they had, which covered a wide range of topics: What’s happening to South Korea? What’s really going on with the Russia/Ukraine war? Do Biden and the Democrats want that war? How much of a threat is Iran? Why is Trump worried about ‘nuclear proliferation’? Glenn also explains what made this meeting very different than the others he has had with presidents and why he now believes it was a blessing that Trump lost in 2020: He’s a changed man now and he’s coming back with laser focus to change everything FAST.

GLENN: So I don't know where to even begin with -- I just had the most amazing, surreal experience at Mar-a-Lago, last night. Just surreal.
I was there to help raise money for Prager University. And Dennis Prager, who, by the way, let me give you an update on him.
He was severely injured. He fell in the shower. Hit his head, and it snapped his neck back.
And he has injuries to his neck.
And he is making progress. And only Dennis would be as positive. I mean, somehow or another, he's still like, huh? I'm doing great.
And it's going to be a long process to get him back. But he had been -- he wasn't able to breathe on his own. But that is over. And he spoke for the first time, here the last couple of days. And he's fully there. His body just isn't working. But he has a long road.
But he is -- he is doing better.
And believe me, he appreciates and can feel your prayers. He obviously wasn't there last night.
But he still is in the hospital.
So we were there, raising money for Prager U. Who they're just doing amazing things.
If you want to give for education, what they're doing now, on education, and Prager U. And the impact that they're having, is incredible.
Just incredible.
Dennis Prager. You know, Rush Limbaugh, when my generation, and maybe the generation, you know, after me, when we would go, people will remember Rush Limbaugh, if they read about the history of, you know, people who made some impact.
But even Rush Limbaugh, for his important and his legendary and as game-changing as he was, will eventually be forgotten.
I don't think Dennis Prager will because of Prager University. That thing is making a huge impact. And well worth your support, and it would I think make Dennis feel a lot better, knowing that they raised a lot of money last night.
And they really need your help. They have huge plans. Just go to DennisPrager.org -- it's PragerUniversity.org. And if you have some money that you would like to invest in the future, that's a great place to invest.
So I get to Mar-a-Lago. And I have a few minutes with the president. And I ask him, what the hell is going on with South Korea, North Korea, China, Syria, Ukraine, Russia?
He is laser focused on this. And, again, he reiterated to me, the nuclear proliferation that is coming, is going to be our biggest problem.
He said, we had Iran, absolutely crippled.
He said, I hope we can get them there quickly. He said, but nukes are up for sale now.
North Korea has them. And he said, I don't have any -- you know, evidence that they've sold them. But they are up for sale. And he said proliferation of nukes are coming.
And Russia is still the biggest threat. I asked him -- I just want to be really careful. Because it wasn't. It was just a personal conversation.
But I asked him about the next 40-some takes. I said, I'm very concerned that Biden or whoever is the president of the United States right now, the military industrial complex. Barack Obama. I don't know who it is.
Wants war. And he didn't get into who was the president or anything else. He just said, this man is so incompetent. He said, he has absolutely no idea the history of even Ukraine, let alone Russia.
He said, this -- this -- this should never have happened.
And he said, it is a meat grinder.
He said, when this is all over, and the world can see what's happened, he said, North Korea -- I asked him about the North Korean fighters.
I said, you know, are they good?
He said, Glenn, it's a country of 5 million soldiers. He's like, it's a religion over there.
Their state is the religion. Their supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, is like their God. If he says, you're going to war and you are going to fight and tie, he says, 5 million. And they'll just keep coming.
And he said, it -- the way he described it to me, it almost sounds like colonial days when everyone was just in a line. You know, and, you know, okay. We want to be fair.
We will wear the red coat so you can see where to aim. We are just going to stand in a big line.
I got the impression that that's almost how North Korea.
They have so many people, that wave after wave is coming. And he said, there's no respect for life. None.
He said, it's unlike anything modern. The modern world has seen in a long time.
He said, I don't remember exactly how he said it. But basically, they don't even have tourniquets.
He said, if the guys are shot in the legs, they bleed to death. And people are just walking over them.
He said, you're wounded, you die.
There's no medics coming for you.
You just die because they got plenty of soldiers behind you. And he said, it is bloodshed like the world cannot imagine.
And I asked him, I said, I -- I think everybody wants peace.
And he said, hmm. I think so too.
And he kind of hedged his -- at least this is my impression, that he kind of -- my impression is, we're going to pay a very, very high price.
With Putin. Because we have violated every single red line, with Vladimir Putin.
Everything he said, don't do, we have done.
And I personally think -- this is my opinion. I didn't express this to the president.
But I personally think, one, they want war.
I don't know who they is.
The military-industrial complex. The Biden family to wipe out the corruption.
Ukraine is nothing, but a money-laundering system. That's all it is.
It's money being laundered. I don't know where it's going. Why isn't anyone concerned on how much money we're sending over? All these weapons.
They're being sold on the black market to our enemies.
What the hell is happening? Why is this happening?
And so my personal opinion is, either they're trying to wipe out -- remember, the Hunter Biden thing is for ten years.
For crimes that he's never even been accused of.
Statute of limitations runs out in five years, on most things.
Except for like murder, human trafficking.
Treason.
Things like that.
But he's been -- never before in American history, has this ever happened.
Never before. A blanket pardon for anything he did, from 2014.
Gee. When did he go over to Ukraine? 2014.
And so I don't know if they're just trying to buy their way out of trouble. They want a war to destroy all of any evidence, or anybody involved.
I don't know.
But somebody wants war. And it might just be the military-industrial complex, just saying, you know, we really need to upgrade our military. So let's just give them all this old stuff. And we'll make new stuff for you, America.
It could be that.
It could be the State Department. The State Department. And I won't give you his response.
But I said, you realize, you have the opportunity, because we did talk about how this endless wars are just insane.
And I said, it's the State Department. It's the -- and you can -- you can stop that nonsense.
You can just fire them all.
And get people in here, who don't think the same way Woodrow Wilson did over 100 years ago.
He's very well aware of that.
And things are going to change. I was -- everything we talked about, he was laser focused.
I mean, you know, I've met with presidents before.
I met with Ronald Reagan
I met with George H.W. Bush. I met with George W. Bush. And I met with Donald Trump.
I have more confidence in Donald Trump now, than any other president I've met with. The guy is super, super informed.
It is a blessing, honestly.
It is a miracle, that he lost in 2020. And I say that, you listen to this show. You remember what I was saying. We're all doomed. We're all going to die. Okay?
The country is over if we don't correct this in four years. We would not have had this president, the man he is today, if it wasn't for his loss in 2020.
He had four years to go, okay. What did I do wrong? How did they get me?
How did they thwart me? How do I stop it? And how do I reverse this machine, while dismantling this machine? He is laser focused on that.
And if he said it once to me, he said it a thousand times. Glenn, it's going to be breathtaking. It's coming. Change is coming.
And it is coming fast. They are not going to know how to deal with it.
I'm filled with confidence, and, again, I say this with the caveat, that, you know, the left will never say.
But I say this with the caveat that I would say on any president. As long as he's constitutional. As long as he's following the Constitution and the laws, he -- he is going to be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time.
Because he's at least going to give it a college try. I mean, he's -- he's going for it.
We talked about his appointments. And what he had planned. There's some things that -- well, recommend take a one-minute break.
GLENN: So when we're looking at the world stage, everything that's happening is happening because America vacated the leadership role. I hope Americans realize, without the consequences, at least so far, how close we are to seeing what happens to the world, if America leaves the world stage.
And I don't want to be the world's policeman. I don't want to be involved in foreign wars.
The president doesn't want to be involved in foreign wars. He wants to end them. He wants us to concentrate on us.
But somebody has to be there, to say, knock it off!
And he's the guy -- he's already doing that. It's conversations of some conversations he has recently. And the world is being put on notice.
I'm back, very soon. You might want to change your behavior. Because everything you have been doing, is not going to happen anymore.
And I wish I could express the things that he expressed to me. Because he would be so excited.
He would like, oh, my gosh. This is fantastic.
STU: Isn't this sort of hopeful about the whole Russia, nuclear war stuff too.
Why would Vladimir Putin with eight weeks left, start what winds up being a nuclear war, when he's got somebody who is going to be a lot more sane in office, just a few weeks away.
GLENN: So because this is my impression.
Because he's being backed into a corner by Joe Biden. Every red line. He does not want to do it. But he's getting pressure from the hard-liners, in his country.
STU: Right.
GLENN: To use just even tactical nukes. Which we don't know what that would cause.
STU: Yep.
GLENN: And what our response would be -- if he drops a tactical nuke, Joe Biden will launch. He will. He will. He will.
STU: Put that's a massive step. Tactical nuke. That will be a massive thing. Why would he do that, knowing that this whole situation changes?
GLENN: Again, things are so dynamic.
Look at what's happening.
I wish I could get the president on the phone, to just have the conversation, he explained it so well.
STU: Sure.
GLENN: Look what's happening with Turkey. With Syria. With Iran.
Ukraine, Russia, North Korea, China. And South Korea.
They're not disconnected. Okay? They're all connected.
STU: Uh-huh.
GLENN: To each other. And he is -- he is confident that the Middle East will be solved. He's like, we'll get the Abrahamic Accords back.
They've dealt with me before, in the Middle East.
They know.
He said, everything else around the world is so on the edge. He was really pissed.
He was like, none of this -- I just would like to remind you, none of this was happening four years ago.
STU: Yep.
GLENN: He said, this is all because of incompetence, stupidity, and a complete misunderstanding of how the world works.
And he -- he, again, reiterated, nuclear war is -- I mean, every time I see him. And he must have said it three times last night. Nuclear war is real.
And it is endgame changing. And he said, at all costs, we have to avoid that.
