Glenn: Don’t Let Russia Succeed in Dividing Us

An old episode of “The Twilight Zone” shows a sleepy, small town that becomes a place of chaos and terror overnight simply because people are afraid.

That’s what’s happening in America – but instead of aliens from outer space sowing doubt and creating divisions among us, we have Russian intelligence, our own flawed leaders and the double-edged sword of technology.

Russia has been working to undermine the U.S. for years, and now cyber warfare is giving them a huge boost. But if we resist division and stay united as Americans, we will avoid playing into Russia’s hands.

“They need us to be pitted against each other,” Glenn said on radio today. “We’re being played like a fiddle.”

GLENN: Two things happening in the world right now, one is create chaos. We've been watching this for 15 years. I've been warning you that our enemies are going to do everything they can to create chaos. Chaos is -- if you believe in the Mahdi, the only way the Mahdi returns, you wash the world in blood and create chaos. That's number one.

Russia is doing it. Some in the Middle East are doing it. And, quite honestly, some people in the United States are doing it. The second thing that is happening is divide and conquer. You've got to divide America. A house divided against itself cannot stand. And it's happening right now under our nose, and many of us are participating in it, without even realizing it.

Chaos is the name of the game, and we're falling for it over and over and over again. Now, listen to this story: Facebook revealed this month that Russia purchased $100,000 worth of political ads, during the 2016 campaign.

Now, this is the way it's been reported. And you think all of these were pro-Trump. But they weren't. Yesterday, the details emerged. And it's a funny thing when you start looking at the details, how it completely changes a story.

What was it that Russia was actually doing? Who were they actually supporting? The answer is everyone and no one. Anything that would stir up chaos and anything that would divide, they were for.

In 2015, Russian Facebook ads had supported and condemned Black Lives Matter. Now -- now, listen to this. Some of the ads were pro-Muslims and pro-immigration. The very next day, those same groups would post negative Muslim ads and anti-immigration rhetoric.

They didn't care. Trump, Russia, Hillary, the right, the left, they're playing all sides.

What we're doing now is, we're separating ourselves. We're saying, "You're just trying to make this about Hillary Clinton. You're just trying to make this about Donald Trump." No. No. No.

It's about chaos and divide and conquer. You think the Russians actually cared who became the president of the United States? I mean, in terms of heads of states, the president of the United States is one of the weakest authority figures in the world.

The Founding Fathers made sure that was possible. And it was on purpose. The Russians know this. They're not afraid of the president. They're afraid of the American people.

The American people -- do you know that -- out of all of the Russian plans of invasion of the United States during the Cold War, there was only one place that was not a part of a plan. All of the plans, we can come over the polar cap. We can bomb them first. We can come through the oceans. Where -- how are we going to do it? There's only one place that they said we're not going there, and that is Texas.

Why? Because they knew Texans were united. Texans also were armed. And they knew Texans would fight to the last man, because they were united.

So the Russians are doing nothing other than dividing us, regardless of who becomes president. Now, this goes a lot deeper than just the election. As early as last week, Russian intelligence were using the NFL take a knee controversy to continue their chaos campaign.

Senator Lankford of Oklahoma said in a hearing yesterday that the Russians were talking -- taking both sides of the argument and talking out of both sides of their mouth.

They are -- they've taken to social media, and they are taking a knee and linking arms. Standing up for the veterans.

And make sure you take a knee and stand against Trump. Make sure you take a knee and stand against a racist America.

All they're doing is enflaming the divisiveness. They need us to be pitted against each other.

We're being played like a fiddle. And while the collusion narrative continues in the media, a foreign intelligence service is actively trying to split us apart. The Russians have been doing this for decades. But never on the scale like this. Because they've never -- technology has opened up an entirely new era in espionage. And the scary part is: This is only the beginning.

And we're already being duped. Look how easy it has been to turn us against one another. Imagine what they'll be able to do to us in the next two to five years, if we don't wake up.

Don't add fuel to the fire. Everyone I know hates the way Facebook and Twitter -- you know, people are talking on Twitter and Facebook. Everybody I know. And the -- the most noble say, "That's why I don't use it anymore."

Okay. Well, that's one way to go. But nature abhors a vacuum. Silence in the face of evil is evil itself. You can't just go silent anymore.

Your silence is aiding and abetting. You need to pump positive out into the world, no matter how hard they come at you. No matter what they say to you. No matter how many times you've been torn apart. You say, good. Simple. True things that are peaceful, that are kind, that are servant in their nature.

And I promise you, if you do that, you will heal the nation. But you have to find and follow the great masters of healing. Because right now, chaos is the name of the game.

And it only works if we're all dead asleep.

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!
