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.

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.

The Dark Truth Behind Queer Theory & Gender ‘Affirmation’ For Children | Liz Wheeler & Glenn Beck

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question? In this eye-opening conversation, Glenn Beck speaks with investigative journalist Whitney Webb about how the Elites, banks, and global systems have created modern forms of enslavement, all while the public remains largely unaware. They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family. This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
