Glenn gives a SNEAK PEEK of the 'Blueprints of Liberty' collection (2024)

In today's world, everyone seems to get a trophy, which makes the trophy absolutely worthless. Unless it’s fought for, unless it’s earned and struggled for, the trophy doesn’t belong to you. The same goes for freedom. I’ve never earned the freedom we enjoy in America. I fear I spent too much of my life squandering it. And for what? Ease? Money? Just to go along to get along? A trophy that everybody gets but was never earned?

We must not accept defeat. If we do, we are not worthy of the freedom that is worth fighting for.

I do not accept, nor do I want that trophy. I want one that means something, and that means standing up for something.

Defeat is not an outcome. Defeat is a choice.

We were given an opportunity on Thursday to stand for something: our republic. The weaponization of our government to snuff out Donald Trump’s campaign represents a greater attack against the foundational freedoms that forged our republic: the right to a fair and impartial trial, the right to free and fair elections, the right to defend yourselves against your accusers. Will you stand for it?

Now is the time to decide, and our decision may very well determine whether our republic is heading toward victory or defeat.

I will never say we are finished. I will never utter the words, “We have lost!” Because defeat is not an outcome. Defeat is a choice. It is the choice of the person who is pushed down and refuses to get back up. It is the choice of the person who backs down when pitted against seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The posture of defeat is the one who backs down when things get hard. Will you take that posture? Or will you stand for freedom and rise to the occasion that our republic demands?

It always sucks before you get to the summit. The question is: As you're driving your wagon train over the Rocky Mountains, do you press on? Do you actually have an unwavering belief in our republic? Do you really even know the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution? Do you know why we fight? Because if you don't know, you will lose.

Will enough of us call upon that unyielding spirit that has always been inside us? Will you stand for those values that we’ve been told our whole lives are self-evident? Apparently, they are not self-evident any more, according to our ruling elites.

Our country forged the greatest mission statement the world has ever witnessed, that all people are "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," where justice and freedom can be had by all.

That is the summit of the mountain we now face, and it is a summit worth pressing forward to reach. We are still on the side of the mountain. We have a long way to go, and last Thursday, they tried to knock us back down. We must ask ourselves today: Do we just go back down? Is this as far as we go? Or do we just say, "Press on, America."

We must press on. We must not accept defeat. If we do, we are not worthy of the freedom that is worth fighting for.

Did Dr. Anthony Fauci answer for the mismanagement of the Covid pandemic?

On Monday, Fauci sat before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability to answer lingering questions about how the pandemic was handled. Many of us, Glenn included, have serious concerns, such as:

• Why did he lie about gain-of-function research?
• Why did he try to cover up all the chatter among scientists that the virus DID come from a lab?
• Did he know the U.S. government cut a deal with Moderna on vaccines before the pandemic?

While some of these questions were partially answered, Fauci's lack of credibility and Congress's lack of direct questioning left much to be desired. The American people deserve the truth, but it's being kept from us.

That’s why BlazeTV teamed up with Free the People to release The Coverup, a docuseries available NOW for BlazeTV subscribers. You can watch the series now and get $30 off your BlazeTV annual subscription by using the code FAUCILIED.

Here are the top FIVE takeaways from Fauci's hearing:

It's June, and we all know what that means: pride month.

Rainbow banners snap in the wind and men in dresses and heels perform for children in drag queen story hours. Prepare for the tide of uncomfortable, cringe-worthy commercials and tweets from the mega-corporations pandering to the mob. If you need a refresher, Glenn covered the worst pride month commercials last year and ranked them.

Since then, some people—including many in Glenn's audience—have decided to take a stand. Americans nationwide have united against the woke mob and rallied against the mega-corporations through boycotts. The most successful of these boycotts were against Bud Light for their partnership with transgender icon Dylan Mulvaney and Target for their unsettling and overexposed pride clothing section, particularly marketed at children. This backlash was VERY successful, and Target and Bud Light have since reassessed their pride Month marketing strategy in light of YOU taking a stand.

Bud Light

In April of last year, Bud Light made the baffling decision to plaster infamous internet transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney all over their beer cans and hoist him up as a mascot in possibly one of the worst advertising disasters of all time.

Bud Light severely misread its core audience, and before long, a firestorm of ex-Bud Light fans had taken to the internet to voice their outrage. People started to call for a boycott, and it didn't take long for the effects to be felt. More than a year later, the ripples from the fiasco are still being felt. Bud Light officially lost the title as the number one best-selling beer in America to Modelo, a position they are not likely to reclaim. As Bud Light's sales continue to plummet, it is an important reminder: go woke, go broke.

Target

Last June, Target went full woke with their annual pride collection, which included rainbow onesies for babies and swimsuits with a "tuck friendly" option for transgenders. Glenn, along with many other conservative voices, called for a boycott to kick Target right in their wallet.

Just like the Bud Light boycott, the Target protest had immediate effects. Shortly after the backlash, Target began to roll back its pride collection, and in some stores the displays were pushed from the front to deeper within the aisles. This year, Target has muted the pride rainbow a bit by dialing back its pride collection. Target is no longer offering any children's clothes in the collection and will only be offering the collection online and in select stores "based on historical sales performance."

These are huge victories. Your protests were effective, and real change has occurred as a result. But now is not the time for a victory lap. Now is the time to double down and continue to make your voice heard through your wallet.

How we respond to Trump's conviction will determine the future of America.

Glenn's response was clear: he will NOT surrender to bullies and tyrants. Now is the time to stand back up, brush off the dirt, and push forward. We are at the point where we have to choose: do we lie face down in the dirt, or do we get back up?

That was Glenn's response, but the rest of the country had myriad reactions, revealing a lot about who we are as a nation. Here are 5 responses to Trump's conviction that show where our country is headed:
