uh more pain-free life um and a better life because we put rough greens on our dog's food
00:00:24.460
this is something that naturopathic dr dennis black came into my studios one time i was talking
00:00:28.980
to me about and i said look i my dog won't eat anything uh but if you can put something like
00:00:34.420
ketchup on his food and make him eat it it'll be a wonder to me well he wolfs it down but then
00:00:40.640
i saw the benefit of all of these vitamins and minerals and antioxidants and probiotics
00:00:46.160
he changed as a dog it became much more active much healthier the vet was thrilled and so are we
00:00:53.520
so is he roughgreens.com slash back roughgreens.com slash back or call them now at 833 glenn 33 that's
00:01:24.040
what you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn
00:01:47.440
hello america it's friday and you know one of the best things about owning your own uh content your
00:02:02.340
own show is when i feel like it uh much to the chagrin of my sponsors i can say i just want some time
00:02:10.960
just to talk to you and so i'm getting rid of all the commercials for the next half hour so you and i
00:02:16.880
can have a talk because yesterday i was driving through the rains uh the rain uh to visit a friend
00:02:22.920
and it was a powerful storm just coming down in buckets it was dark and stormy and that was on the way
00:02:30.640
there then i went into my friend's house and i came out about three hours later and it was bright
00:02:39.440
and beautiful and it looked like a completely different neighborhood nothing had changed
00:02:43.600
except the storm had stopped and the clouds began to part
00:02:47.280
on the way back i was driving through this farming community
00:02:52.640
as it was bright and sunny i saw people no longer cowering or running into their homes or their stores
00:03:00.480
or avoiding the storm but they were back to work as if nothing had happened and they had recognized
00:03:07.020
that the storm the water that came from that storm was a blessing that storm made it so we could go on
00:03:15.820
growing and feeding and helping ourselves our families and others and as i was driving through the canyons
00:03:24.220
i began to think and i got home and i wrote some things down that i want to share with you
00:03:30.460
because this week has been both the best of weeks and the worst of weeks we have seen the lies that
00:03:39.740
many of us knew were lies laid bare for the world to see and many americans finally going wait a minute
00:03:46.700
what we have seen the brave step forward with nothing to hide yet a ton to fear
00:03:54.620
but we've also seen the depths of man's depravity the arrogance of the elite and the corruption
00:04:04.460
of justice we have witnessed the illusion of power
00:04:11.980
so i wanted to take a minute today and just shatter that illusion and remind you of the reality
00:04:25.340
but first i want you just to take a second and breathe breathe deep
00:04:33.580
and then breathe in the spirit of the brave leaders who have carried us through the moments of triumph
00:04:39.100
and uncertainty breathe in washington at valley forge lincoln who died to set men free breathe in the spirit of
00:04:55.500
fdr who fought the monsters overseas that actually believed in inferior races and useless life
00:05:03.980
he stood despite his wheelchair the very thing that made them believe he was weak and useless
00:05:11.740
made him strong and determined to see our ship through the storm
00:05:18.940
breathe in the times we felt strength and hope from jfk and ronald reagan as the world
00:05:24.860
inched closer to nuclear annihilation breathe in the brave americans like martin luther king
00:05:33.180
who dared to remind us of our highest ideals that all men are created equal and doing it while
00:05:40.140
knowing it may cost him his life but knowing in the end it would set free the powerful force of an entire
00:05:48.860
race and in doing so would smash the shackles of racism racism of all involved white black brown red yellow
00:05:58.620
so breathe in the spirits of their resilience and their stories that remind us of the strength
00:06:19.900
and yet in the face of overwhelming odds we're renowned for rising from the ashes of defeat stronger
00:06:32.700
too many of us now doubt that this american unity that we found in the rubble of pearl harbor or the
00:06:39.420
twin towers will be true again as we deal with what approaches
00:06:52.300
the forces of darkness may feel powerful and in charge right now
00:06:56.540
but they are merely the whispers and the shadows and the echoes of ancient lies
00:07:04.300
they will be defeated again but only when the truth is no longer held captive by fear
00:07:12.780
our nation is the epitome of freedom the birthplace of freedom by being the birthplace of opportunity a beacon for
00:07:21.660
for those seeking the liberty to steer their own destiny
00:07:27.580
the alluring prospect of freedom is not just a lofty ideal but it is a living testament to the human
00:07:35.020
spirit one that stands antithetical to the constraints of marxism and other failed ideas
00:07:42.780
our great country rebukes such a doctrine that undermines the human essence the inherent right
00:07:50.860
to independence the power to define one's own course
00:07:57.260
we're a nation built on the pillars of compassion and justice
00:08:01.180
and in these trying times we seem to forget that compassion is our virtue
00:08:12.940
because if it's left unchecked if if compassion is detached from eternal truths this virtue will morph
00:08:25.260
we have to strive to find a balance nurturing empathy and compassion while adhering to the truths
00:08:32.620
that have guided us thus far the freedom to carve our own path also implies the responsibility to contribute
00:08:42.460
to work to strive for excellence not just personal gain but to uplift our brothers and sisters
00:08:53.340
the american dream isn't solely about achieving personal success in fact i don't think it's attached to that at all
00:09:01.260
it's about charting your own course and about lifting all those around us nurturing the collective good
00:09:07.260
we will lose our path if we don't recognize that it is high time that we restored our self-evident truths
00:09:18.940
regarding gender family blind justice integrity and our basic human rights these principles are the
00:09:28.060
foundation of our society and if we reinstate them we will pave the way for the next great chapter of the american narrative
00:09:37.260
the freedom of speech and thought they're pillars upon which our society rests the ability to question
00:09:47.100
to seek truth to challenge norms define our human nature since birth we as children have an inherent
00:09:57.180
curiosity and that should never be stifled or restricted our capacity to ask why what how
00:10:06.940
that is the thread that weaves the very fabric of our being human and our drive to learn explore and grow
00:10:27.660
laden with complex questions and potentially tougher answers but if we rally behind our bill of rights we
00:10:39.020
uphold personal responsibility and acknowledge that we are not infallible that neither the corporations the
00:10:47.740
elites the latest algorithm nor governments are omnipotent we can navigate this storm together but we must simply
00:10:58.460
acknowledge god remains god and we are not nor ever will be him
00:11:04.860
kindness and understanding and the willingness to pray to embrace disagreement
00:11:17.260
we've always been a nation that not only tolerates but fights for the rights of those with divergent views to
00:11:24.140
express themselves this is uniquely american this value is a testament to the strength of our commitment to
00:11:43.660
we must remember the virtues and the values that set us apart on this continent
00:11:49.660
let us be guided by our shared commitment to the freedoms that we hold dear
00:11:58.620
it's only this way that we can build a better future for all americans
00:12:02.380
there is a new horizon waiting for us it beckons us to recalibrate to renew ourselves
00:12:12.140
and to chart a course that is reflective of the diverse the vibrant and resilient spirit that has
00:12:19.500
always been quintessentially american it's it's our unity not our diversity unity is our strength
00:12:28.700
our commitment to the freedom of the individual to seize the opportunity that is just over the
00:12:42.540
with unity and the individual with these we'll write a new invigorating chapter in our shared american
00:12:51.180
story it's not going to be some internet mob some angry misguided malcontents who march and
00:12:58.540
burn and destroy nor a puffed up army of government administrators or an all-powerful executive
00:13:06.540
but it will be us us as individuals in our own way in our own lives simply by uniting under the banner
00:13:14.780
that we still hold these ideas as self-evident truths that all men are created equal that they're
00:13:23.180
endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights and that among these are life liberty in
00:13:28.860
the pursuit of happiness and that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men and let
00:13:34.860
me emphasize that this same government in the next line derives their just powers from the consent of the
00:14:11.740
Make a commitment to speak only the truths that unite us
00:14:37.220
And those things are those self-evident principles.
00:14:41.740
But if you can't say that all men are created equal
00:14:57.560
If you can't speak the words that those words are true
00:15:04.860
and the highest ideals that any country has ever espoused,
00:15:22.180
Whatever the government may have done from time to time,
00:15:59.840
I haven't seen a just power in quite some time.
00:16:22.880
Breathe in the times where we were at each other's throats
01:28:37.200
All of this was just as obvious than it is now, but
01:28:42.100
the Obama campaign doubled down on these facts.
01:28:45.020
When he ran for president, um, he in 2008, Barack
01:28:50.540
Obama and every house Democrat member in Florida fought
01:28:55.500
the proposal to conduct to the Clinton Obama primary by
01:29:01.220
And here's the quote, the state's U S house members objected
01:29:06.340
to the proposal and Obama campaign manager, David Plouffe
01:29:09.760
said there was deep concerns, real deep concerns about the
01:29:21.580
So when did the left have a change of heart on this?
01:29:25.580
Because they clearly knew then what the rest of us know
01:29:30.200
today, and it wasn't just four years later that U S news
01:29:36.280
and the rest of the mainstream media had no issues at all
01:29:42.480
Four years later, voter fraud is proven election manipulation
01:29:49.500
They even in this article detail a case where party activists
01:29:53.120
were convinced, I'm sorry, were convicted of voter fraud for
01:30:00.260
Listen to this quote, two veteran democratic political operatives
01:30:04.540
said voter fraud is an accepted way of winning elections.
01:30:11.280
Now, do you think they had to come to Jesus moment?
01:30:15.180
And now they just don't agree with that statement.
01:30:17.460
It was the broad consensus that mass mail-in voting was less secure.
01:30:24.700
Jimmy Carter said it, but now it's part of the most secure system in
01:30:32.420
How, how, what was done putting drop-off boxes all across our
01:30:43.800
Now, the question is, what have we done since 2020 to make sure it
01:30:49.540
Well, let me show you if you happen to be watching Blaze TV, the states
01:30:53.760
that have made changes to secure their election process.
01:30:57.500
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana,
01:31:02.320
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas,
01:31:07.280
Now, look at the states that stayed the same or got worse.
01:31:14.140
Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland.
01:31:19.160
Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Maine, Michigan,
01:31:24.080
Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, Nevada,
01:31:39.480
These are the states that have gotten worse since.
01:31:47.020
There's a report from VotingRightsLab.org that shows from 2021 to 2023,
01:31:53.540
only 23% of election laws passed have been to harden and secure elections.
01:32:02.460
That means 77% of all election laws passed in the last three years, since 2020,
01:32:17.000
The left is winning, and we haven't even started or recognized it.
01:32:25.320
Now, Donald Trump in 2016 won by 80,000 votes in three states.
01:32:36.880
But if I throw that map up again, all three of those states are now worse off than they were in 2020.
01:32:49.700
Because it looks like a dereliction of duty, quite honestly.
01:33:01.400
Now, this has been in the works for a long time,
01:33:03.740
and I want to introduce you to some of the operations that are now happening.
01:33:14.640
unless we stand up in our communities and get involved and informed.
01:33:26.900
Donald wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens.
01:33:29.620
He said, I've never seen my dog lick the bowl clean.
01:33:34.400
And it's because she's looking for any remaining traces of Rough Greens.
01:33:48.620
and he ran to the bowl, which he never used to do.
01:33:53.200
It's a supplement developed by naturopathic doctor Dennis Black
01:34:01.180
This is filled with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants,
01:34:06.200
and all the stuff that is healthy for your dog.
01:34:08.900
Folks at Rough Greens are so confident that your dog's going to love it.
01:34:15.960
You pay for the shipping, and the rest of the bag is free.
01:34:20.980
If it does, just keep taking the bags of Rough Greens
01:34:25.560
putting just a little scoop of Rough Greens on top of your dog's food.
01:34:41.240
And in Texas, we grow a little different variety of people.
01:34:52.120
It seems like the only parts of Tom that aren't getting older were his,
01:34:59.100
the only parts that were getting older were his backs, his back and his hips.
01:35:06.460
they started giving him a lot of grief throughout the day.
01:35:08.440
He was finding it harder and harder to get up in the morning
01:35:10.820
and get his way into work and do the things that he loved.
01:35:18.120
the back and hip pain went pretty much away and they've stayed away.
01:35:26.760
Developed by doctors and hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor
01:35:32.400
Find out if that's you and you can get your life back.
01:35:56.080
One of the things that really makes me angry about the GOP
01:36:18.380
the left has been building this electoral machine for years,
01:36:23.440
How can the other side in Washington be this clueless?
01:36:34.820
The problem is the mainstream media refuses to cover it,
01:36:39.800
and Republican conservatives refuse to believe it's happening.
01:36:53.900
In fact, I'm telling you this so you're not blackpilled.
01:37:04.280
but you're not doing anything to help move the ball that way.
01:37:14.220
I'm going to give a huge tip to the organization Restoration of America,
01:37:18.400
who has been doing an amazing job at uncovering the left's election strategy.
01:37:26.280
How the Voter Participation Center aims to cement Democratic rule
01:37:36.780
Now, that seems kind of disturbing and alarming.
01:37:43.800
even know who or what the Voter Participation Center even is?
01:37:56.480
in the wake of the Republican victories headlined by George W. Bush.
01:38:00.100
Back then, their name was Women's Voices, Women's Vote.
01:38:54.960
But did they have any connections to the Clintons?
01:39:06.060
They're just trying to get everybody registered,
01:40:16.560
Now, that does not sound very nonpartisan, does it?
01:40:28.900
that's why they need those 87,000 IRS agents, right?
01:41:02.520
it was no secret that the goal of all its efforts
01:41:20.660
While the GOP was counting on Joe Biden's low polling numbers
01:41:30.740
if you happen to be watching Blaze TV right now.
01:41:37.220
for more than 360 million registration mailings
01:41:46.680
Half of those 360 million registration mailings
01:42:09.480
You know, you watched him on stage in the debate,
01:42:29.400
82% of those landed in the mailboxes in October
01:42:37.980
700,000 people had already mailed in their ballots.
