The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Josh McPherson & Bianca de la Garza ｜ 10⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.380 Today's podcast is a little disturbing. We have yet another example of the left accusing Donald Trump of something they plan on doing and have already done.

00:00:10.280 Is it true the Harris-Biden administration have given the green light for the military to use force against American citizens?

00:00:16.200 We find out late in the show. Yeah, they have just passed that.

00:00:20.740 Josh McPherson is also here. He's a pastor of Grace City Church.

00:00:23.920 He has a great sermon on why Christians need to actually speak up and vote this election.

00:00:28.940 Plus, Bianca De La Garza, she is from Newsmax. She joins us.

00:00:33.040 She talks about her new book that exposes how the White House press secretary gets loaded questions that fit with the media's agenda.

00:00:41.160 You'll want to get her new book paired nicely with my new book, Propaganda Wars, which is on sale now at glensnewbook.com or wherever books are sold.

00:00:48.380 Plus, on the full show, we have the co-host of a six-part series on red-pilled America that tells you stuff about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris that you've never heard before.

00:01:02.640 It will help you decide who to vote for.

00:01:05.560 All that and so much more on today's show.

00:01:07.460 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Podcast.

00:01:10.160 Starts in 60.

00:01:11.120 In most cases, the secret to success in buying or selling a home is having the right real estate agent.

00:01:17.400 I mean, you know, you have to have a decent house.

00:01:20.640 You have to have a decent house.

00:01:21.680 Even the best real estate agent, you know, is like, I can't sell it.

00:01:25.380 It's not simple.

00:01:27.880 You have to find somebody who knows how to find a good home for you that's in your budget or somebody that can get out and get the best possible price for the house that you live in.

00:01:37.480 Even if it is the Munsters, those are important, but there's so much more to it.

00:01:43.080 At least there is when you go with a group like Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:01:46.180 The agents we work with take their jobs seriously.

00:01:49.220 They know the best practices to elevate your real estate experience to the next level.

00:01:54.560 When you go with Real Estate Agents I Trust, you're going to be working with the best people in the business.

00:01:58.460 People who sometimes literally work around the clock to get you into the right home and get your home sold or both.

00:02:04.980 But don't take my word for it.

00:02:06.180 Contact them today.

00:02:07.500 Find out for yourself.

00:02:08.760 Interview one of these real estate agents.

00:02:10.440 I think you'll see a difference.

00:02:14.800 The name says it all.

00:02:19.020 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:31.140 So I'm taking you through Kamala Harris' statement yesterday with all of the propaganda tools at her disposal to scare the American people that Donald Trump is Hitler. 0.69

00:02:46.440 He's literally Hitler. 0.89

00:02:48.440 And he's going to change the military and have them swear loyalty to him and not the Constitution.

00:02:55.200 That he's going to come in and clean house and make it his own private army.

00:03:00.360 Now, I've told you often that they telegraph what they're doing.

00:03:08.580 And I noticed this 20 years ago.

00:03:10.760 Whatever they would accuse the right of doing, I would always say, look to see if they're doing that.

00:03:15.600 And they always were.

00:03:17.800 Okay?

00:03:18.740 They're taking Donald Trump.

00:03:20.140 He's getting foreign influence.

00:03:21.660 Well, we know now that the Harris administration is working with the British government to get her elected and to silence people like Elon Musk.

00:03:32.860 Okay?

00:03:33.120 We know that.

00:03:33.680 We talked to the British prime minister yesterday about it or the former.

00:03:38.460 So that's what they're doing.

00:03:41.440 Everything they say that we're doing, they're doing.

00:03:46.000 For instance, the latest, of course, we've been saying this for a while, but they used to say it, turn down the rhetoric because you're going to get somebody killed.

00:03:55.740 Okay?

00:03:56.960 Wow. 0.78

00:03:57.520 Saying somebody is Hitler is definitely going to get somebody killed because we all grew up.

00:04:04.840 Maybe it was just me, Stu.

00:04:06.220 I don't know if you did this.

00:04:07.820 Because I feel like a weirdo if it's just me.

00:04:10.340 But I remember having talks with my friends and going, if you could go back in a time machine and kill baby Hitler, would you kill baby Hitler?

00:04:19.040 It's one of the, like, it's not even just friends, right?

00:04:21.720 That's just a big academic ethical study, right?

00:04:25.240 Like, would you go back and do this if you could, knowing what he became?

00:04:28.340 Right.

00:04:28.580 And the answer I've always embraced was no, because the baby isn't Hitler yet.

00:04:35.020 Mine always was, yeah, if you can abort him, because that's totally fine. 0.75

00:04:38.380 Any abortion is great. 1.00

00:04:39.920 So, yes, only if you can abort him.

00:04:42.140 Okay, good, good.

00:04:43.580 So, in a culture where that's a philosophical question that has been asked for, you know, decades,

00:04:52.600 and the answer to some is, yeah, of course, going to grow up to be Hitler. 1.00

00:04:57.960 Of course, I'd kill baby Hitler. 0.99

00:04:59.240 When you have an administration standing behind the seal of the vice presidential office with the flag, the White House behind him, not the White House, but a White House that everybody will probably think is the White House, 0.99

00:05:14.920 making an official-looking statement that this guy is Hitler and is going to turn the army into his own private army. 0.69

00:05:27.700 We're not talking about a baby. 0.99

00:05:29.700 Now the question becomes, to those who believe that, if you had a chance to kill Hitler before he came to power, or kill him early, would you? 0.99

00:05:41.040 Of course you would. 0.99

00:05:41.920 If you think he's Hitler, of course you would. 0.99

00:05:45.680 If you try to kill Hitler, Tom Cruise makes movies about your life. 0.95

00:05:50.260 Right. 0.92

00:05:50.600 That is the result.

00:05:51.540 Yeah. 1.00

00:05:51.720 It's a good thing to kill Hitler. 0.99

00:05:54.480 That is legitimately what our entire world, outside of a good chunk of the Democratic Party, seems to believe. 0.98

00:06:01.380 Those people align with Hamas, the people I'm talking about. 0.96

00:06:03.620 Right.

00:06:04.540 It's like, everyone says that was a good thing.

00:06:08.080 Valkyrie is a story about a hero.

00:06:10.220 Yeah.

00:06:10.600 A man who tried to stop Adolf Hitler.

00:06:13.080 Yeah.

00:06:13.420 This is a guy, now going back to the Trump situation, who has almost been killed in front of our eyes multiple times during this campaign,

00:06:20.880 and their closing argument is, he's Hitler.

00:06:23.540 Right.

00:06:24.360 While saying he's got to turn down the rhetoric.

00:06:27.000 Right.

00:06:27.260 He's got to turn down the rhetoric while you're calling him Hitler after he's almost been murdered in front of our eyes multiple times.

00:06:32.700 Okay.

00:06:32.920 So, now, what was the whole message here?

00:06:36.760 The whole message that she gave yesterday, behind official trappings of the president and the vice president of the United States,

00:06:47.000 so it looks like an official, not a campaign statement, which even as a campaign statement would be very, very bad.

00:06:54.420 What was her main message?

00:06:55.960 Well, that Trump is Hitler, of course, but also that he's going to come in and purge the military.

00:07:03.580 He's going to make it his own private army if he does.

00:07:08.540 Well, just going with the theory that whatever they say we're going to do, they've done.

00:07:15.040 What was the first thing that happened when Joe Biden got into office?

00:07:18.840 What was one of the first things, an order that went through for the military?

00:07:24.180 What was one of the first things he did?

00:07:25.440 Do you even remember?

00:07:28.100 Most people don't.

00:07:30.600 A global stand down of our military.

00:07:34.440 Now, I've never seen that in my life.

00:07:38.020 A global stand down of our military.

00:07:41.540 So, in other words, basically, unless you're in a combat situation, stand down.

00:07:45.800 We're shutting everything down.

00:07:47.680 Why?

00:07:48.100 Because they needed to find the extremists that were in the military.

00:07:54.740 They purged the people who were against the vaccine, who were saying things against anybody on that side.

00:08:05.660 They purged themselves of anybody that was talking about Donald Trump because they labeled them extremists.

00:08:12.340 So, they whittled down our army to make it what?

00:08:16.880 To make it what?

00:08:21.220 A personal army that would defend and keep their loyalty to the Constitution?

00:08:29.440 The Constitution guarantees my free speech.

00:08:31.880 I can serve in the military and be a Harris supporter under Donald Trump.

00:08:37.580 That doesn't make me an extremist.

00:08:39.200 That makes me an American.

00:08:41.020 And we should all be fighting for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

00:08:43.960 So, they did that.

00:08:46.420 But they know that if he wins, he's got to fire the top end of the military.

00:08:52.780 He's got to clean the Department of Defense out.

00:08:55.860 He's got to clean the Pentagon out.

00:08:58.100 Of all of the DEI hires, of all of these things that are destroying our military, all of the people that were not held accountable, they all have to go.

00:09:07.920 So, as soon as he begins to clean house, what do they say?

00:09:12.340 He's purging the military with anyone who disagrees with him.

00:09:16.940 He's making his own Hitlerian army. 0.93

00:09:20.720 This does two things.

00:09:22.320 It increases the chance that he's assassinated.

00:09:25.600 And it destroys the credibility of the United States military to citizens.

00:09:34.340 Now, they also say that he's going to authorize laws where he will be allowed to kill his personal enemies.

00:09:47.540 First of all, that is unconstitutional.

00:09:50.440 That is what the Supreme Court ruled.

00:09:54.060 If it is outside of his official duties, well, his official duties do not allow him to kill his enemies with the CIA.

00:10:07.620 That's what they say he's going to do.

00:10:10.280 Well, now, hang on just a second.

00:10:13.200 If that's what they say he's going to do.

00:10:18.360 Hmm.

00:10:21.520 Have they done that already?

00:10:24.060 Have they used the intelligence arm to destroy their foe or to attempt to kill him?

00:10:36.620 I don't know.

00:10:40.780 But Donald Trump is very clear.

00:10:42.840 He cannot do that.

00:10:44.140 And if he tried to do that, people like me and all constitutionalists would stand up and say,

00:10:50.580 that's against the Constitution.

00:10:52.480 The president does not have that right.

00:10:56.840 The other thing is, they say the first thing he's going to do is purge the military of Trump supporters.

00:11:03.640 They've already done that. 0.84

00:11:04.780 And he's going to have the military kill citizens. 0.97

00:11:10.300 Okay. 0.79

00:11:10.660 This brings me to Robert F. Kennedy's response.

00:11:14.980 Listen to this.

00:11:15.680 Cut nine.

00:11:16.180 President Harris said today in her post, in her speech, he said that President Trump was going to turn the U.S. military against the American public and use the public.

00:11:29.000 Well, what's interesting to me is that the Biden-Harris administration has done something two weeks ago that has never been done in American history.

00:11:40.360 Which is to send, exactly, lethal force to send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law to make it legal for the U.S. military to be used, to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil.

00:11:59.220 Isn't that what she said Donald Trump would do?

00:12:05.260 Technically, now it's legal for the U.S. military, under this directive, it will become legal for the U.S. military to shoot and kill Americans who engage in political protests because they disagree with policies in the White House.

00:12:20.680 He left because he finds the Democratic Party, Biden, Harris, and their ilk, to be dangerous to the Republic now.

00:12:44.780 Here's a guy that doesn't agree with Donald Trump on everything.

00:12:47.240 In fact, probably a lot of stuff they disagree on.

00:12:50.680 But they agree that the Democratic Party has become dangerous because of these things.

00:12:56.300 Now, I want you to know, this again goes back to the book, Propaganda Wars, using the steps that we have at our own disposal and you have.

00:13:07.300 I don't want to repeat that without the statement, I'm not sure that that is true.

00:13:14.240 The directive he's talking about is Directive 5420.01.

00:13:22.160 Now, what is that?

00:13:23.360 That is a DOD directive that was just renewed.

00:13:27.360 Now, this was an old Cold War directive that allows intelligence, our intelligence services, to spy and share information with local police on Americans, okay?

00:13:43.320 That's from the Cold War when, you know, McCarthyism and everything else.

00:13:47.140 So, that directive was still at the DOD, but they just renewed it.

00:13:51.980 Now, my staff is not good enough to read all of these laws and to know exactly.

00:14:02.240 So, I'm going to Constitutional Scholars.

00:14:04.140 I hope to have an answer by the end of the show, but we believe that the shoot-to-kill directive was not in the original bill.

00:14:15.360 It was added to this bill, which would make RFK right.

00:14:21.000 But they just pulled that old bill and renewed it.

00:14:24.280 And bill is not the right term.

00:14:26.040 Yeah, no, it's bill.

00:14:26.500 It doesn't go to – it's just a presidential directive, okay, for the Department of Defense, which would make it legal to shoot-to-kill on the president's order.

00:14:38.080 So, they say that Donald Trump is going to do this.

00:14:44.160 No, he doesn't have to because you just did this.

00:14:49.560 And why would you just do this?

00:14:52.080 If you're so against that idea, why would you do it?

00:15:00.900 I don't know.

00:15:02.540 I can't come up with a good reason.

00:15:10.420 Unless you want an actual civil war.

00:15:14.920 And I believe some in this country do.

00:15:19.900 Choose life.

00:15:22.080 You may not like Donald Trump, but these are dangerous, dangerous lives that will put our country into chaos.

00:15:39.520 Do not follow chaos and lies.

00:15:44.720 My Patriot Supply.

00:15:48.480 If it feels like our country is unraveling right now, it is.

00:15:54.940 And we have two weeks, really, to prepare somewhat.

00:16:01.360 You don't know what's going to happen in November.

00:16:06.520 The first week of November could be a nightmare.

00:16:08.300 Could be fine.

00:16:08.880 Um, January, December.

00:16:12.560 Could be a nightmare.

00:16:13.280 Could be fine.

00:16:13.960 We don't know.

00:16:15.260 Please prepare.

00:16:16.400 We live in crazy, crazy times.

00:16:19.300 I want you to get My Patriot Supply, their three-month emergency food kit.

00:16:24.620 MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:16:25.740 They give you three months of food for each member of the family.

00:16:29.120 So, order one for each member of the family.

00:16:32.040 It's really, really good.

00:16:47.100 Please order your three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply and do it now.

00:16:52.600 Hopefully, we're not going to need it this time.

00:16:55.040 But there are so many things that hang in the balance.

00:16:58.500 It's just a good idea to prepare.

00:17:01.980 MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:17:03.120 That's MyPatriotSupply.com.

00:17:05.660 Now, back to the podcast.

00:17:08.400 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:13.980 Josh McPherson is a guy I found online, I don't even know how long ago.

00:17:22.940 And I just, I love his sermons.

00:17:25.040 He's the lead pastor of Grace City Church, founder of Stronger Man Nation,

00:17:29.460 which is a movement to help men get stronger every day in every area of life

00:17:34.200 and helping dads raise boys to be stronger men, which is one of our problems in society today.

00:17:40.380 We are teaching everybody to be weak and helpless.

00:17:42.800 And that is not the way God would have us be.

00:17:46.060 Josh, welcome to the program.

00:17:47.720 How are you?

00:17:48.300 I'm very good, Glenn.

00:17:49.280 Thanks for having me.

00:17:49.920 Thank you.

00:17:50.580 So, I have been hearing from a lot of Christians that are saying,

00:17:57.120 I just can't vote for either.

00:17:58.940 Yep.

00:17:59.120 And I don't even know how to, I don't even know where to start on that.

00:18:05.000 Yep.

00:18:05.280 This is so clear to me that we are not battling Democrat-Republican.

00:18:10.180 That's right.

00:18:10.280 We are truly battling light and dark, life and death, good and evil.

00:18:15.880 Yep.

00:18:16.080 So, how do you convince people?

00:18:20.540 It's what COVID revealed in terms of our shallowness of thinking in relationship to our role as citizens in our nation.

00:18:28.200 This election is revealing at a deeper level.

00:18:30.640 I think Christians have been misled and wrongly discipled in relationship to their responsibility as citizens of heaven to be engaged here as citizens of earth.

00:18:43.160 And so, we've had bad teaching like, well, the kingdom of God is spiritual, not physical.

00:18:47.660 Nowhere in the Bible does it ever say the kingdom of God is spiritual.

00:18:50.900 The closest it gets is Jesus saying, my kingdom is not of this world when he's speaking to Pilate.

00:18:56.140 And he's not using that as an excuse to disengage from the world.

00:18:59.260 He's using it as an apologetic to lean into the world.

00:19:01.660 He's saying, my kingdom is not of this world, which means I'm above your pay grade.

00:19:06.280 Right.

00:19:06.420 I don't have to answer your petty questions.

00:19:08.420 The kingdom of God does not hover, Glenn, a mile above the earth.

00:19:11.180 It lands in our sex lives, in our marriages, in our dysfunctional family systems, in our relationships, in our entertainment, in our food, and yes, in our politics.

00:19:21.020 It's when Jesus says, my kingdom is not of this world.

00:19:22.980 What he's saying is, my people have the authority from heaven to step into the broken systems of earth and be salt and light.

00:19:30.560 The most basic text in the Bible, when Jesus explained how we're to think of ourselves as Christians, you're light.

00:19:36.500 Light exposes lies in darkness.

00:19:39.360 You're salt.

00:19:39.880 Salt works against the natural decay of sin in the world.

00:19:43.940 And right now, pastors are trying to convince Christians to be salt while they're still in the box. 0.64

00:19:48.800 And people think that that means to be – it adds flavor.

00:19:52.320 No, it stops corruption.

00:19:54.800 That's right.

00:19:55.120 It stops the corrupting of the meat.

00:19:57.740 That's exactly right.

00:19:58.440 And that's the way it was used back then.

00:20:00.580 Yeah, there's this, like, demonic gaslighting that says that Christians shouldn't be political.

00:20:06.060 I have a fundamental conviction that we cannot be biblical unless we are political.

00:20:10.460 The entire storyline of the Bible is a story of God against governments, rogue empire governments, tyrannical, abusive, heavy-handed, oppressive government systems like Egypt, like Persia, like Babylon, like Rome.

00:20:21.620 And the story is those – because when you remove God from a society, what replaces it typically is that which is biggest and most powerful, namely government.

00:20:29.760 God calls governments to submit to his rule of law just like he calls individuals.

00:20:34.920 And it's the church's job to function as the conscience of a society.

00:20:39.620 And when the church goes silent, a culture loses its conscience and a government loses its mind and everyone suffers.

00:20:46.620 I can't understand when we have – I mean, when we have one party that is putting up abortion vans for free abortions.

00:20:57.780 I mean, I wouldn't go to a concert that was doing that.

00:21:00.880 No.

00:21:01.180 Let alone a political party.

00:21:03.280 No.

00:21:03.420 Here's what I would say to Christians to wrestle with seriously. 1.00

00:21:07.340 I did five sermons to my church.

00:21:10.560 You can see them online if you want, at gracesearchurch.com or Josh at YouTube.

00:21:13.420 I'll tweet them out today.

00:21:14.940 Okay.

00:21:15.160 I wrote a small PDF to help people think through three questions.

00:21:18.100 Should Christians vote?

00:21:19.460 How should I think about politics?

00:21:21.360 And then how should I vote as a Christian?

00:21:23.360 And so I can walk through that grid quickly.

00:21:25.300 Should Christians vote?

00:21:26.060 Here's the deal.

00:21:26.500 Forty million Christians didn't vote in the last election.

00:21:29.360 The last election was decided by 42,000 votes.

00:21:32.420 Jeez.

00:21:32.820 Your vote matters.

00:21:33.940 When the salt stays in the box, the meat rots.

00:21:37.040 When Christians hold their voice back, culture goes into massive decline. 1.00

00:21:42.120 Do you think people wish the church would have got more political in 1933 when Hitler squeaked 0.92

00:21:48.440 through in an election and 12 years later, 11 million people were dead?

00:21:52.100 And you know what the church did?

00:21:53.780 It stayed silent, and then it went into cahoots.

00:21:57.440 The church abdicated its voice.

00:21:59.200 Yep.

00:21:59.520 And then aligned with evil out of fear.

00:22:01.700 Yep.

00:22:02.100 And deception.

00:22:03.100 And millions of people died.

00:22:04.660 Perished.

00:22:04.800 I have a distinct sense that there are millions of Christians the world over praying to God

00:22:11.440 almighty that Jesus Christ would wake up his church in America.

00:22:14.680 Because if America goes off the rails, we haven't seen anything like it historically.

00:22:18.320 I've heard it from a Chinese dissident that was in prison in China just because she believed

00:22:26.240 in Jesus.

00:22:26.780 She said, you know what we were praying for in China?

00:22:28.660 Yeah.

00:22:28.820 We were praying that you would be humbled so you would wake up to who you really are.

00:22:33.740 That's right.

00:22:34.080 Should Christians vote, here's what I would say.

00:22:35.720 God made three spheres of human sovereignty, the family, the church, the state.

00:22:39.900 If Christians won't lead their homes, Satan will. 1.00

00:22:42.200 If pastors won't lead their church, they become synagogues of Satan.

00:22:44.820 And when it comes to our constitutional republic, we need to almost stop using the word democracy.

00:22:50.280 We don't want a democracy.

00:22:51.520 We are a constitutional republic, which means we're guided by the moral absolutes outlined

00:22:56.620 in the constitution, and then we vote for men and women to represent us to make laws

00:23:00.640 that reflect the values of that constitution.

00:23:02.720 If we fail to do our duty in this constitutional republic, we are failing our children, and

00:23:08.620 we will pass on to them a social inheritance that will bury them.

00:23:14.000 So when I think about whether or not I should vote, if godly voices don't rise up to speak

00:23:20.580 in this moment, godless voices will, and we'll be held responsible for what happens next.

00:23:26.360 Christians need to carry a burden for what God will hold us accountable for. 1.00

00:23:30.720 So I look at it like this, Christians, and I want to be sensitive to those who are like, 1.00

00:23:37.700 well, I don't want to be partisan.

00:23:39.220 Brother, listen to me.

00:23:40.260 Sister, listen to me.

00:23:41.300 You cannot follow Jesus and not be accused of being partisan because Jesus draws lines

00:23:47.460 and Jesus takes signs.

00:23:48.740 Look, I haven't asked the GOP into my heart.

00:23:51.880 I'm a Bible guy.

00:23:53.120 I'm a Jesus guy.

00:23:53.980 That's my lane.

00:23:54.760 If a political party happens to step into that lane, I'm cheering them all the way.

00:23:58.740 If they step out of that lane, I'm prophetically calling them to obedience and submission to

00:24:02.320 God's word.

00:24:02.700 So this isn't me cheering on one particular party, but let's be honest.

00:24:06.460 One political party is explicitly advocating openly for demonic, horrific, perverse sin,

00:24:13.640 and the other is not.

00:24:15.380 That's the bottom line that you have to wrestle with.

00:24:17.600 And so what I find most Christians, I find very few Christians going, I'm going to vote 1.00

00:24:21.840 for perverse evil, but I hear a lot saying, but I can't vote for their side because, you

00:24:26.100 know, I don't agree with them one way or another.

00:24:28.480 Here's the deal.

00:24:28.980 You don't do it anywhere else in life.

00:24:30.640 Was your spouse perfect when you married her or him?

00:24:33.360 No.

00:24:34.100 You married him anyways.

00:24:35.840 We don't apply the same standard we're using with Donald Trump to anywhere else in life.

00:24:40.140 So no matter who's running for office, unless it's Jesus, you would have to hold your 0.91

00:24:43.580 nose and vote at some point.

00:24:44.680 So here's what I would say for Christians to consider who are on the fence.

00:24:48.180 Think of politics in terms of three tiers.

00:24:50.400 Tier three is in the category of opinions.

00:24:53.200 In this category, we discuss and we decide.

00:24:56.960 This is where the Bible is silent on these issues.

00:24:59.200 And this is like, should Taiwan be granted favored trading status?

00:25:03.720 Should feds raise their lower interest rate? 1.00

00:25:07.380 Should the post office use planes or horses to deliver the mail?

00:25:10.320 I don't know, but let's discuss and let's decide.

00:25:13.340 The Bible doesn't speak to it.

00:25:14.620 I'm not going to stick my nose into it.

00:25:15.880 That's tier three.

00:25:16.560 Tier two is in the category of wisdom, okay?

00:25:19.580 We should debate and discern.

00:25:21.500 The Bible speaks to it, but not clearly how we should go about it.

00:25:25.000 So we agree on the goal, but we debate how the means.

00:25:28.200 So should we care for the poor?

00:25:30.080 Yes.

00:25:30.860 We should all agree on that.

00:25:32.160 How do we do it?

00:25:33.060 Let's have a good debate.

00:25:34.520 Let's pull each other in from the extremes.

00:25:36.340 Walk in the middle.

00:25:37.480 Find the path of wisdom.

00:25:38.660 We can robustly disagree and debate and then go out and have a beer afterwards.

00:25:41.560 And that's honestly, that's where we were at one point in our nation.

00:25:45.280 That's Reagan and Tip O'Neill, right?

00:25:48.200 Where it's like, no, yes, what?

00:25:50.420 Are you kidding?

00:25:51.200 Hey, I'll buy you a drink.

00:25:52.100 Yeah.

00:25:52.240 Because they had the goal in common.

00:25:55.460 They vehemently disagreed on how to accomplish it, but the goal was the same.

00:25:59.480 There was a like-minded shared vision and value set for life, okay?

00:26:03.660 So what's happened now, and most Christians are working from that framework, tier three 0.99

00:26:07.780 or tier two politics, it's opinions or it's issues of wisdom, which makes them feel uncomfortable

00:26:13.560 to speak prophetically to it.

00:26:15.460 Here's the problem.

00:26:16.300 There's a third category, tier one.

00:26:18.560 And tier one, if the first was to have opinion, the second is to have wisdom.

00:26:23.560 Tier one is, this is the realm of obedience.

00:26:26.220 This is where we declare and divide.

00:26:28.080 This is thus saith the Lord kind of things, okay?

00:26:31.120 Where the Bible is spoken clearly to it, and to discuss, we don't discuss and debate this

00:26:35.380 stuff.

00:26:35.940 We submit to God's word and we say, yes, God, and we obey.

00:26:39.860 These are issues like the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage, national sovereignty,

00:26:45.220 the moral law of God, the rule of God, religious freedom, jurisdictional respect.

00:26:50.680 These kinds of things are the grid through which we think as Christians, where God has clearly

00:26:54.780 and plainly, without stuttering, spoken, where we must say, thus saith the Lord, not because

00:27:00.000 it's our opinion, because what we're calling a culture to submit themselves to God himself,

00:27:04.560 right?

00:27:05.000 When we get into that category, tier one, a Christian is obligated, I believe, to engage. 1.00

00:27:10.160 And here's the problem.

00:27:11.160 In politics past, most of the ticket represented tier three and tier two.

00:27:15.340 And so Christians were reticent to go, thus saith the Lord, fed should lower the interest 0.99

00:27:19.220 rate.

00:27:19.660 I agree.

00:27:20.440 Don't stick your nose where God doesn't speak clearly.

00:27:22.500 Yeah, right.

00:27:22.960 What's different about this election is almost every issue on the table represented on the

00:27:27.180 ticket is a tier one issue, thus saith the Lord.

00:27:32.060 And if the church does not step up and speak boldly into this moment, the vacuum we create

00:27:37.180 will be filled, I believe, with the godless and the demonic.

00:27:40.680 And then we will be responsible for having been silent in a moment when Jesus needed us to

00:27:45.320 speak up.

00:27:45.760 So there's two things that come through my mind almost every day.

00:27:50.420 One, we will be held responsible for all of these are God's rights, not ours.

00:27:56.060 We were put in charge to protect them.

00:27:58.320 That's right.

00:27:58.640 Okay.

00:27:58.900 Or to elect the government to protect God's rights.

00:28:02.240 That's right.

00:28:02.580 For future generations.

00:28:03.980 That's right.

00:28:04.540 And if we lose these rights here, it's not just here.

00:28:08.860 That's right.

00:28:09.260 It's the entire world could be cast into darkness.

00:28:12.700 That's exactly right.

00:28:13.500 And we will be held accountable.

00:28:17.460 What did you do?

00:28:18.540 That's right.

00:28:18.820 And saying, well, I just couldn't vote for either one is not going to be an acceptable

00:28:22.880 answer.

00:28:23.300 That's right.

00:28:23.960 Think about the moral dilemma some Christians are having about who to vote for right now.

00:28:29.360 Yeah.

00:28:29.440 It's nothing in comparison to the moral dilemma you'll be facing if we have an openly rogue,

00:28:38.160 demonic, evil government that is using the force of law and military to make you disobey

00:28:46.540 God's law.

00:28:47.580 You will have much bigger moral dilemmas to face and cross then.

00:28:50.840 Correct.

00:28:51.180 So better to deal with these little ones, hold your nose and vote rather than do I need

00:28:55.920 to stand up and do something more than just pray in this moment like Dietrich Bonhoeffer

00:28:59.420 had to wrestle with in 1940s.

00:29:01.460 Yes.

00:29:02.160 The other thing is when people say, well, my vote doesn't count.

00:29:06.640 Not true.

00:29:07.220 For the first time in my life, I look at that as a completely different statement.

00:29:12.500 That's right.

00:29:13.040 That's saying I'm not going to be held responsible.

00:29:17.480 That's right.

00:29:17.920 At this time, this is like 1933.

00:29:20.580 That's right.

00:29:20.960 At this time, if you don't stand and it goes awry.

00:29:26.340 That's right.

00:29:27.640 He's not going to accept that I just didn't vote because I didn't think my voice mattered.

00:29:32.480 No.

00:29:32.740 It doesn't.

00:29:33.260 It may not.

00:29:33.720 In Texas, if you want to vote for a Democrat, it may not count here in Texas because it's

00:29:39.460 going to go, hopefully, it will go red.

00:29:41.440 That's right.

00:29:41.760 But it does count in your first citizenship.

00:29:45.760 But when I think about, well, my vote doesn't matter.

00:29:48.480 Here's what I say.

00:29:49.180 No, no, no, no.

00:29:49.920 It matters because I'm not voting to appease a candidate or a party.

00:29:53.360 I'm voting in response to God's commands.

00:29:55.980 I'm voting before a holy God.

00:29:57.480 I am voting to be obedient to my duty to be an active citizen of heaven in the current

00:30:03.040 citizen I'm abiding in here on earth.

00:30:04.780 So when I think about Doug Lynn, I think, no, no, I'm voting for the sake of keeping my

00:30:09.480 conscience clear before God so I can look in the mirror and say, kids, I preach sermons.

00:30:14.080 I talk to friends.

00:30:15.000 I wrote stuff.

00:30:15.940 I joined my friend online.

00:30:17.280 I did everything I could to move the needle for the sake of our nation.

00:30:20.260 Friends, don't vote.

00:30:21.440 So if we take this pragmatic approach, well, it doesn't matter.

00:30:25.340 One, we've already ceded the battle.

00:30:27.480 No, no, it does matter.

00:30:28.980 It does matter.

00:30:29.640 If not only for you to say, I will not be shaped in silence by the lies.

00:30:34.200 You know, Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

00:30:37.040 Yeah.

00:30:37.240 You know, I'm trying to think of that.

00:30:39.040 Oh, yeah.

00:30:39.360 Live not by lies.

00:30:40.500 So good.

00:30:41.260 And in the essay, he said, look, here's the deal.

00:30:43.280 You may feel small in the face of this massive, tyrannical, totalitarian regime, but you're

00:30:50.780 not as small as you think.

00:30:51.700 You're only small as the silence you embrace, right? 0.92

00:30:55.060 He said, so if you stand up, they may shoot you in the head in the street, but only you

00:30:59.800 can secede or turn over your freedom.

00:31:01.960 So you can die a free man in the street, or you can live as a prisoner in your apartment.

00:31:07.160 You can be freer in prison than you are compromising your values living at home.

00:31:12.180 And so what he said was, essentially, silence in the face of lies is itself a lie.

00:31:18.600 Silence in the face of lies is to perpetuate and participate in that lie.

00:31:23.120 We are in a spiral of silence right now that Dietrich Bonhoeffer talked about.

00:31:26.680 Eric Metaxas talks about it, which means the less we speak up, the higher the cost for

00:31:31.480 the ones who do.

00:31:32.860 We're seeing it.

00:31:33.700 We're seeing that right now.

00:31:34.880 You're streaming the best of Glenn Beck.

00:31:37.140 To hear more of this interview and others, download the full show podcasts wherever you

00:31:41.080 get podcasts.

00:31:43.620 Bianca De La Garza is with us now.

00:31:45.580 Bianca, how are you?

00:31:47.320 I'm so good.

00:31:48.700 Good morning, Glenn.

00:31:49.620 Great to be with you.

00:31:50.500 And congratulations on your new book as well.

00:31:53.060 Thank you very much.

00:31:54.100 Thank you.

00:31:54.540 So you have written now exposing the White House press secretary and the media.

00:32:01.860 Tell me what you found watching them.

00:32:05.700 Well, you know, I think it's pretty obvious at this point, and especially in this truncated

00:32:10.420 election, right?

00:32:11.720 When they're telling you Joe Biden is the best he's ever been.

00:32:15.700 And then all of a sudden there's this coup.

00:32:18.140 And now Kamala is the best, which obviously last night's town hall just adds to more evidence

00:32:23.840 that she is.

00:32:24.680 She is the one who's unfit for office. 1.00

00:32:26.640 You know, we actually were able to see something, I think, even more fascinating as members

00:32:31.740 of the media and as members of the media who actually aren't the propaganda arm of this

00:32:37.800 administration.

00:32:38.880 And that's really so.

00:32:39.580 So I think what I'm bringing to this book and what I bring to my audience every day,

00:32:43.180 sort of like you, is just sort of cut through the echo chamber.

00:32:47.780 Yeah.

00:32:48.080 Yeah.

00:32:48.400 I mean, it really is.

00:32:50.180 And it's dangerous.

00:32:50.980 It's at the point now where people are actually voting with disinformation.

00:32:56.800 And, you know, you said something last night that I thought was really relevant.

00:33:00.140 When she came out yesterday at the Naval Observatory with those flags flanking her, that was live

00:33:05.640 on my broadcast.

00:33:06.840 Now, if I'm not a real journalist and I can't decipher exactly what that is and tell my audience,

00:33:11.760 then right there, something in the process fails.

00:33:14.240 The free and fair press that we need to exist as a society, it actually breaks down and we

00:33:19.320 become closer to communism.

00:33:20.940 Right.

00:33:21.060 And most people will see those things and not notice them and not understand that the

00:33:29.100 subtle propaganda there is saying this is an official government statement about the

00:33:35.800 danger of Donald Trump.

00:33:37.720 And there are so many reasons why that's dangerous.

00:33:41.840 But you said when you're when you watch them in the press room, you're seeing the press actually

00:33:47.680 try to get the speaker or the press secretary to to verify the story they want to write.

00:33:59.260 What do you mean by that?

00:34:01.480 Right.

00:34:02.000 They feed her and it's, you know, Kareem Jean-Pierre.

00:34:05.220 So, you know, we're not really dealing with, you know, brain trust here.

00:34:08.260 Mensa, they feed her exactly a narrative.

00:34:11.420 And she willingly, of course, wants to take this up.

00:34:14.960 So, you know, when we take the White House press briefing live, for instance, and we're

00:34:18.620 listening to the questions that are being asked, of course, she won't call on people,

00:34:22.400 usually outlets.

00:34:23.300 Very rarely will my esteemed colleague, James Rosen, get in a question because she knows

00:34:28.260 it will actually be fact based and something she'll have to be able to answer.

00:34:32.100 But I believe what they're doing is they have the narrative that they're overlords at all

00:34:37.080 of these networks, big media, paid media are instructing them to do.

00:34:41.620 So when they they ask her, you know, it was a perfect example when they were trying to

00:34:45.300 sell this cheap fakes on us.

00:34:46.460 And I write about this in one of my chapters and she was trying to walk back and she got

00:34:50.380 caught with the neurosurgeon.

00:34:51.680 We all remember that if Biden had seen that.

00:34:53.960 One of the reporters in the room was like, well, do you think this is part of a Russian

00:34:56.840 disinformation?

00:34:57.580 She's like, that is a very good question.

00:35:01.040 I mean, it's all so circular and so poisonous.

00:35:05.500 And so they give her the question that they want to write.

00:35:08.220 She gives them, in turn, the administration's, you know, lies. 0.76

00:35:12.000 Right.

00:35:12.200 And she did that just recently when somebody I think was in a town hall, somebody on, you

00:35:18.980 know, Charlemagne the God, they called in and they said, you know, I think he's going

00:35:24.500 to round people up.

00:35:25.420 I think Donald Trump is going to round everybody up and put them in camps.

00:35:28.800 And she said, you bring up a very good point.

00:35:32.460 What?

00:35:32.900 What?

00:35:35.260 They're all in concert.

00:35:36.960 They're all in tandem.

00:35:38.300 And it's working.

00:35:39.140 It's working for them.

00:35:40.560 Or so they thought until, well, enter Donald Trump.

00:35:45.240 And, you know, I sort of have a theory in the past few years, and I think you've probably

00:35:48.700 been watching this, and I'm sure it's in Propaganda Wars, that we've had some really

00:35:52.260 big mile markers, Glenn.

00:35:53.700 We've had the Hunter Biden laptop, which is real, which they censored in just in the nick

00:35:59.820 of time.

00:36:00.280 Right.

00:36:00.520 They just get those 51 spies.

00:36:02.480 That's how they operate.

00:36:03.580 They get these sort of letters from these officials that aren't really officials.

00:36:06.860 But we also had Elon Musk buying X.

00:36:09.260 So we have now sort of, and now he's the target, of course, you know, the OJ.

00:36:13.040 You can't give out money.

00:36:14.220 You can't do this.

00:36:14.940 Because we now have, we're saying, you know what, old press, you want to be propagandist?

00:36:21.480 Fine.

00:36:22.080 We're going to find our own way.

00:36:23.480 Americans are resilient.

00:36:24.860 I believe there is hope for this country.

00:36:26.900 The time draws near for this election.

00:36:28.620 We are in the fight.

00:36:29.400 I'm on the front lines.

00:36:30.420 That's why I wrote the book, Incoming, because it is my duty.

00:36:33.120 I've spent almost 30 years in this industry.

00:36:35.440 The people who hold the microphones, they are the conduits, the gatekeepers to this information.

00:36:40.980 When they fail to do their job and ask the right questions, that is when we are in these

00:36:45.520 times which we can no longer sit back on the sidelines and say, this is going to be okay.

00:36:50.140 No, we have to get in the fight, Glenn.

00:36:51.420 You know, I'm going to talk about something later this hour about what I think is coming

00:36:57.160 for the next election in 2028, if we still have free and fair elections.

00:37:02.640 And we're going to know that that is true or false, I think, by this weekend.

00:37:06.560 But I'll talk about that later.

00:37:07.800 But the journalists, I mean, do they have no soul?

00:37:14.060 How do they flip-flop so quickly?

00:37:16.860 Like when the week before Kamala becomes the nominee, they're saying she can't become the

00:37:23.060 nominee. 0.82

00:37:23.420 She's absolutely horrendous. 0.98

00:37:25.100 And then they edit their own work and their own words and to come back next week, like

00:37:32.020 they never said any of that stuff.

00:37:34.460 And they're like, she's the greatest, isn't she?

00:37:37.280 How does that happen?

00:37:39.160 Yeah, I got a kind of interesting take on this.

00:37:42.040 So I had never been to the White House Correspondence Dinner in all my years of covering.

00:37:46.640 And I had never gone.

00:37:49.100 This year, I knew I was writing the book.

00:37:50.640 I got an invitation.

00:37:51.620 I said, I'm going to go and just check it out.

00:37:53.180 And you know, I saw them, they were like fawning to get selfies with Fauci, like a line, like

00:37:59.360 he was a rock star.

00:38:01.000 They were, you know, Mayorkas came by. 1.00

00:38:03.220 I got a moment with him.

00:38:04.600 They are, they're able to, I think, put their moral compass, their integrity.

00:38:10.860 I don't think they have any left, but I think it's because they're more interested in being

00:38:14.380 part of the club.

00:38:15.580 And Glenn, if you're in the club, you want to stay in the club.

00:38:17.980 Yep.

00:38:18.320 I tell you, my wife and I have only gone to the White House Correspondence Dinner once.

00:38:21.600 Um, and, uh, my wife and I, we left early, uh, and my wife and I were walking to our

00:38:28.900 hotel afterwards and I looked at her and I said, I don't know how you feel, but I feel

00:38:33.780 like I've just been in a Lifetime, uh, movie, you know, one of those movies on Lifetime where

00:38:38.900 I'm just going to go back to the hotel and rock back and forth in the shower.

00:38:42.600 Uh, I just, it felt like something so dirty.

00:38:46.120 It was, uh, and you can't get clean, right?

00:38:49.520 You can't.

00:38:50.360 In fact, it was so, to watch the machinations, it's actually how I opened the book.

00:38:54.600 I call it the legacy media lion's den, because I felt like as a, as a truth teller in there,

00:38:59.500 I was in a lion's den because they were just, you know, they were people whose politics I

00:39:03.620 abhor.

00:39:04.140 There are journalists that, and I put air quotes that are out there, you know, making

00:39:08.360 their multi-million dollar checks to actually just sling whatever the talking points or

00:39:12.980 the press release comes into their email.

00:39:14.720 It's lazy journalism.

00:39:15.940 It's not knocking on doors.

00:39:17.380 It's not working sources.

00:39:18.680 And yet they're floating around in these, you know, gowns and this sort of faux air kiss.

00:39:23.600 And I, I couldn't, I saw it all.

00:39:25.300 It was so clear to me what, why our media has lost its way and why Donald Trump says fake

00:39:31.640 news.

00:39:31.920 And, you know, I'm also a mom, my daughter's 18.

00:39:35.180 And so it's really, really important for me that she uses critical thinking, question

00:39:40.620 everything, not just look at things.

00:39:43.180 And, and the social media, you know, Glenn has sort of, you know, made this sort of generation

00:39:47.640 of journalists.

00:39:48.560 And I think younger people just sort of looking through images and it can be really alluring

00:39:53.440 to look at things and look at celebrities.

00:39:55.720 And I don't, you know, I know it's a hard machine to come up against, but we have to arm

00:40:00.660 our kids with education and not indoctrination.

00:40:03.740 Let me switch topics here for just a second.

00:40:07.220 What does your gut tell you on what's going on right now?

00:40:11.560 What's coming election night and after?

00:40:15.960 I'm so encouraged by the early voting numbers.

00:40:19.440 Okay.

00:40:19.760 So I will say that.

00:40:20.840 And that's a lot of the focus.

00:40:22.480 We'll be talking about some of this today and how all the math quants, and I'm an English

00:40:26.640 person.

00:40:26.980 I'm a writer.

00:40:27.560 I'm a journalist.

00:40:27.980 I don't propose to, you know, have these math, you know, proxies as they use them and

00:40:32.020 call them.

00:40:32.480 But I'm very encouraged, very encouraged.

00:40:34.600 And I see people who have lost everything in North Carolina come out and in droves because

00:40:38.940 that right there shows sort of the heart and soul of America.

00:40:42.940 I think what's coming is if the trends continue, I think it's very positive, but I think we

00:40:47.900 can't get complacent because I also know that these are very sort of demonic forces that

00:40:52.820 will know if their power is actually being threatened, which it is.

00:40:57.440 You know, Hillary Clinton came out. 0.53

00:40:59.000 We're talking about Section 230.

00:41:00.700 Kamala last night talking about filibuster, get rid of it. 0.92

00:41:03.400 They will do something that is dirty.

00:41:05.080 So I think we just have to have our guard up, if you will, and I think we have to make

00:41:08.960 sure people get to the polls, people who maybe, well, everyone else is voting.

00:41:13.320 What comes after?

00:41:14.580 I see actually a revival.

00:41:17.420 I saw Donald Trump with a lot of prayers last night in Georgia, last two days on my show.

00:41:22.840 I'm on live from noon to two.

00:41:24.880 I saw the Latino roundtable.

00:41:26.640 I'm Mexican-American.

00:41:27.700 I saw people lay hands on him.

00:41:28.860 I saw people lay hands on him in North Carolina.

00:41:30.600 There's a powerful sort of sense of getting back to our instincts as human beings, not

00:41:36.960 left or right, Glenn, but about like moral compass, what we are doing.

00:41:40.080 And that's my hope.

00:41:41.460 And I'm holding on to that, but I really, I don't see something that's going to be violent

00:41:45.200 or nasty.

00:41:45.840 I just don't.

00:41:46.480 I think the left wants to say it.

00:41:48.300 The left wants to call this.

00:41:49.940 Yeah.

00:41:50.180 I hope you're right on that.

00:41:51.520 Um, as you are Mexican-American, um, they really misjudged the Hispanic community, didn't

00:41:59.720 they?

00:42:00.240 Unlike?

00:42:01.320 Big time.

00:42:02.700 Yeah.

00:42:03.120 Big time.

00:42:04.180 And, you know, I've been, um, you know, keeping in close contact with, um, I have some good

00:42:08.920 friends, my friend's a pastor down in Roma, Texas, and, um, he's taken me down to the

00:42:13.020 border several times.

00:42:14.020 And yeah, they did because, you know, the culture of Latinos, they come here and they are, they're

00:42:20.260 American, they're proud to be new Americans.

00:42:22.000 My dad came here, my family went through the process.

00:42:24.480 Once they get here, they're full on to like the American dream baby.

00:42:27.720 And they, they have thriving businesses.

00:42:29.700 They've done incredible things.

00:42:31.460 And for them to see Venezuelan gangs just walk across the border and now threaten children. 0.91

00:42:35.960 And, and now we have blood, this administration has blood on their hands.

00:42:39.420 I think they, they, they did sort of just pander to the Latinos for a long time, but they 1.00

00:42:44.360 did it to the black community as well.

00:42:46.120 And I love that sort of Obama's comments are getting such blowback because.

00:42:50.260 You know, they just don't get it.

00:42:52.760 They don't get it.

00:42:53.980 And they, they know that they've been running this for so long that at some point, I think

00:43:00.000 the fact that Donald Trump is, is kind of connecting with Latinos, it just blows their 0.98

00:43:04.920 mind.

00:43:05.240 And that's why they're clamping down even harder.

00:43:07.380 That's why we're seeing like the Atlantic, you know, uh, bogus piece.

00:43:12.400 Uh, we, we've been talking to, uh, Bianca De La Garza.

00:43:15.320 Um, she is on, uh, Newsmax every day.

00:43:19.040 She has a new book out called incoming on the front lines of the left's war on truth.

00:43:25.220 It's a nice one, two punch on, uh, propaganda.

00:43:29.360 Uh, we are in a very different place, um, as Americans and everything is about to change,

00:43:35.900 hopefully in a good way.

00:43:37.700 Uh, pick up the book, wherever books are sold.

00:43:40.060 It's called incoming Bianca.

00:43:42.460 Great talking to you.

00:43:43.320 I hope we talk again.

00:43:45.060 Oh, uh, thank you so much, Glenn.

00:43:46.820 I really appreciate you and your audience and all you're doing as well on the front lines

00:43:51.060 and congrats on your book as well.

00:43:52.620 Thank you very much.
