today. Conditions apply. Hey, today's show is a must listen. It is setting truth really to where
00:00:35.500
it needs to be. And we cut through a lot of the stuff that even the even some of the non-corporate
00:00:41.500
media isn't telling you. And it's not that they're avoiding it or hiding it. I don't know how many
00:00:45.900
people understand it. And I'm talking about the banking regulation that was coming into play
00:00:51.520
last Friday. But also now it looks as though there's a compromise on a $1.9 billion stimulus
00:00:59.300
bill or reconciliation bill. Do not pay attention to the money. Pay attention to what's actually in
00:01:07.000
the bill. And I explained this and why this bill must not pass and how you can prepare yourself
00:01:15.040

00:01:34.420
their story of escaping from Afghanistan and the Taliban. And it is unbelievable. At the end of the
00:01:40.820
interview, one of my guys who is an Afghanistan veteran was in the room and I said, hey, I want
00:01:50.280
you to meet them. You're going to see something that I think every veteran needs to see. Tonight,
00:01:57.960
9 p.m. only on Blaze TV. Right after a brand new Stood as America.
00:02:12.920
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:19.980
Joshua, you are on the Glenn Beck program. Welcome.
00:02:23.180
Hi, sir. Um, you talked about the, uh, fines being placed, uh, by the federal government on
00:02:31.100
companies in Texas, um, companies anywhere in the U S. Yeah. Yes, sir. Um, does the executive
00:02:37.700
action by Greg Abbott to ban private companies from requiring employees or their customers be
00:02:44.100
vaccinated against COVID-19 protect you and other employees in the state of Texas? Uh, I don't know.
00:02:50.780
I have a feeling that's going to have to be decided by the Supreme court, but you are in luck
00:02:56.420
because I have somebody who has probably the best answer for you. And that is Ken Paxton,
00:03:03.160
our attorney general of the state of, uh, Texas. Ken, how are you? Hey, I'm doing well, Glenn. I hope
00:03:09.040
you're doing well too. Oh, it's been a while. Lovely. Uh, Ken, uh, I just had a call from somebody
00:03:14.240
who we've been talking about the vaccine mandates that are in this new reconciliation bill,
00:03:20.220
$700,000 fines. Uh, I mean, it's crazy stuff. Does the, does the governor's action protect
00:03:29.440
companies and employees in the state of Texas from having to comply with the federal government?
00:03:37.020
All right. So complicated question because it involves federal workers, which will be probably
00:03:42.240
treated differently than, uh, non-federal workers. And so it'll depend on who that mandate is going
00:03:48.840
after. It's harder for us to protect federal workers. Uh, it would have been, uh, easier if
00:03:54.360
our, if our legislature passed something that would have explicitly protected workers. But I can tell
00:04:01.060
you this, if they, if they seek to impose mandates on employees, like he's talked about doing, uh,
00:04:07.900
we'll certainly do everything we can to fight it. Oof. That doesn't sound, that doesn't sound good.
00:04:14.860
If it's in a federal law, if it was OSHA and it was a regulation, it would be different than if they
00:04:19.900
can, if they stick it into a statute of federal law makes it harder for us to, to win.
00:04:25.580
Well, they're, they're, they're throwing it into the reconciliation bill. And, uh, it's my
00:04:32.380
understanding that OSHA will be the enforcement arm. Yeah. And that doesn't surprise me because I
00:04:38.160
think we threatened them with lawsuits if they, if OSHA just did it without any federal law.
00:04:43.980
Right. So, I mean, I'd have to see how it's drafted. We're certainly going to look at it because
00:04:47.980
I don't want my people being, uh, controlled by the federal government being told that they,
00:04:52.600
they have no choice on, on vaccine. Okay. Let me, uh, let me ask you a couple of other
00:04:57.880
questions. Um, this is, uh, this is Jen Psaki at the white house yesterday. Cut five, please.
00:05:05.600
Why is the administration flying thousands of migrants from the border to Florida and New York
00:05:11.500
in the middle of the night? Uh, well, I'm not sure that it's in the middle of the night,
00:05:15.860
but let me tell you what's happening here. Um, it is our 429 AM. Well, very early in the morning.
00:05:22.080
Here we are talking about early flights earlier than you might like to take a flight. Um, it is
00:05:26.440
our legal responsibility to safely care for unaccompanied children until they swiftly can
00:05:31.820
be swiftly unified with a parent or a vetted sponsor. And that's something we take seriously.
00:05:36.320
We have a moral, a right obligation to, uh, to do that and deliver on that as a part of the
00:05:41.700
unification process. Our office of refugee resettlement facilitates travel for children
00:05:46.460
in its custody to their families or sponsors across the country. So in recent weeks, uh,
00:05:51.780
unaccompanied children pass through the Westchester airport, which I think is what you're referring to
00:05:55.760
and route to their final destination to be unified with their parents or vetted sponsor.
00:06:00.100
Is that what's happening? Stop. Is that what's happening, uh, on, on flights at 2 AM that are
00:06:05.340
just earlier than flights you would like to take? Well, I thought she tried to dodge that. Didn't
00:06:10.020
she initially? And then she has forced the answer. No, I know that's going on. I've seen it in Texas
00:06:14.440
where there are buses that show up in the middle of night in downtown Dallas. I've been told by
00:06:18.840
police officers that they, they unload the buses and these people disappear in the night. So this
00:06:23.900
idea that somehow they're going to some, you know, family member, their parents is probably not true.
00:06:29.620
And the reality is I think the cartels are heavily involved in connecting people across the country
00:06:34.060
because they, these people pay a lot of money to cross the border. Um, I think it's close to 8,000
00:06:40.040
could be more sometimes, sometimes a little less, but they're, they're, if they can't afford to pay
00:06:44.160
their, their indentured servants to the cartels for years. And then of course they're being connected
00:06:50.820
to the cartels. They're all working through the cartels. Fantastic. So what can we do? What can
00:06:57.840
states do? What can people do? This is, I mean, while we're being told we're going to be fired if we
00:07:03.860
don't have a vaccine, they're not even given a COVID test, let alone the double jab. Uh, and then
00:07:10.340
they're just released into our, into our streets. This is not about, this is not about COVID. This
00:07:17.180
is not about humanitarian. This is about power and control. That's all this is about. So, well, no,
00:07:23.740
you, you, you, you hit the nail on the head. That's true because if they really cared about COVID,
00:07:27.980
which, you know, let's just say you don't care about federal law and protecting the border the way
00:07:31.480
you're supposed to, you don't care about the cartels gaining power. You don't care about the
00:07:34.740
drug trafficking, people dying from fentanyl all over. This is all over the country, which is going
00:07:38.080
to happen more and more. You don't care about all the crime, the property damage, the cost,
00:07:42.680
the social, the economic cost of the country. But you have said that you're willing to fire
00:07:46.860
Americans. And if you're an American, you can't come back into the country if you have COVID.
00:07:50.800
So you're willing to put harsh restrictions on American citizens. But at the same time,
00:07:55.700
I was just on the border in Del Rio. They come across, they're not vaccinated, they're not tested,
00:07:59.860
and they're released. So there's no way that the Biden administration cares about COVID because
00:08:04.720
then not only they brought in, they're sent all over the country with COVID to spread it. So the
00:08:09.620
idea that they care about COVID at all, one inch, one amount is a lie. What'd you learn last week
00:08:16.920
when you were down with the ranchers? You know what? It was, it was interesting to talk to people that
00:08:22.860
are honestly scared to death. Their property and their cattle and their, their other animals are being
00:08:29.260
hurt. They're afraid for their families. They won't go outside at night. They carry,
00:08:33.560
you know, a weapon because they're afraid that they're going to get hurt. They don't know these
00:08:37.640
people. I don't know if they're terrorists. They don't know if they're cartel members. They are not,
00:08:41.240
they're not identifying themselves as who they really are. And so these people are at great risk.
00:08:45.500
And I'm, I'm talking Democrat, Republican, they don't care. They are afraid. And the Democrats will
00:08:49.880
often explain it a little differently. They'll say, well, we just don't understand why Joe Biden,
00:08:53.480
why he just doesn't get it. Well, I don't think that's it. I think he does get it. This is exactly what
00:08:58.480
they want. They want to bring as many illegals in here, whether they're terrorists, they are,
00:09:02.940
they are criminals, whether they're cartel. It doesn't matter. They want as many as they get.
00:09:08.060
My guess is they'll do about two and a half million a year. And if they do 10 million and they can hurt
00:09:12.640
the country as much as possible, especially the Republican States, that's what they're trying to
00:09:17.060
do. This is a, this isn't like an accident. It's not like it randomly happened when they, when they
00:09:21.500
said on the first day, we're not enforcing federal law. And then, you know, hundreds of thousands of
00:09:27.140
people are coming every month. That is not an accident. This is purposeful. They want this to
00:09:31.260
happen. And all the consequences with it are fine with them. All the bad consequences are, are planned.
00:09:37.440
So you filed the state of Texas with you, six different lawsuits against Biden. Where do we stand?
00:09:47.180
So the, the, the most, I think the most important one right now is, is the stay in Mexico because that
00:09:52.160
had the most significant impact. And so that one, we were successful in winning at district court. It
00:09:58.900
went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. We were successful. And the Biden administration was
00:10:03.740
ordered to implement the stay in Mexico program. As of today, my guess is they haven't done any of
00:10:10.120
that. And so we've sued them. We've, we've filed a motion to enforce asking the court to monitor them,
00:10:16.620
to give us, give them deadlines, to give us discovery. So we know exactly day-to-day or week-to-week
00:10:22.280
what they're doing, because they have to be held accountable. At this point, there's three branches
00:10:27.020
of the government. There's the state. They're ignoring the state's rights. They're ignoring
00:10:30.820
the other two branches. It is a, it is a presidency that just doesn't honor any part of the constitution.
00:10:37.460
And their, their view is, look, impeach me. And they know that won't happen. So they just
00:10:41.420
literally the constitution is meaningless to them. So then why, honestly, I don't understand then
00:10:47.960
if we are a state that believes in the founding documents, then the bill of rights, um, and we
00:10:57.300
are living by those and they are not, why is it that they can come in? For instance, you know, you said,
00:11:03.240
well, I don't know if I can protect, you know, for federal employees. I assume that you mean that too,
00:11:09.140
for, for private employees, but if, if they are going through with things that are clearly,
00:11:15.760
um, a violation of, of our bill of rights, why does federal law still trump a state law if they're
00:11:26.700
standing for the constitution? So here's what I'd say. We're in the process of sort of testing all of
00:11:33.680
this. Like we've never been here before. We, we came close to this under Obama, but usually,
00:11:38.400
you know, he would ignore federal law and try to implement his own laws and we would fight him,
00:11:43.960
but we would get a court order. He, they would stop. Um, usually it worked. I mean, it worked.
00:11:49.760
We want 80% of our cases against them. The difference here now is that there it appears,
00:11:54.380
and this is still, we're still in the process of seeing if the system can stay in place where we
00:11:59.180
can actually have a court order and get it implemented. So far that is not working, but that's
00:12:04.000
where we're going back. So I do think at some point, if we have this realization, look, there's
00:12:09.000
nothing you can do to make this president operate under the constitution. I think we have a whole
00:12:13.440
different question. And we're back to the declaration of independence saying, Hey, this
00:12:17.920
government needs to be reformed in a way that is drastic because the reality is they don't honor
00:12:23.960
any of the constitution. These rights are not from them. They're from God and they don't have a right.
00:12:28.260
Joe Biden have a right to ignore the first amendment like he's trying to do or the fourth
00:12:32.080
amendment or the 10th amendment is not up to him. It's up to us. The fourth amendment right now with
00:12:37.600
what they're doing with banking and everybody's looking at it and saying, you know, Oh my gosh,
00:12:42.400
$600 or $10,000. It's not about that. It is about control. It's the second half of the modern
00:12:50.320
monetary theory. It is about being able to control what people spend and do to be able to,
00:12:56.720
they think control inflation. That's the actual theory. And we're only doing one half of it right
00:13:03.500
now. But what is in this reconstruction bill is allowing the IRS is telling the banks that they
00:13:09.820
have to report to the IRS, all of our activity. That's a violation of the fourth amendment. And I
00:13:16.660
don't see any, I don't see any banks standing up and saying, no, we're not going to do that.
00:13:21.760
Look, we just had this whole issue with the airlines who were, including Southwest. And we
00:13:28.460
had a protest, the pilots protested, the employees protested two mornings ago. And I was out there
00:13:33.840
speaking and these companies tend to feel the pressure. Biden has a gun to their heads and
00:13:38.900
says, Hey, we're taking away your federal money. You're going to be punished if you don't do what
00:13:42.740
we said. So he's not doing this by, you know, there may be some companies actually want to do this,
00:13:47.340
but he's not doing this in a, you know, Hey, let's all work together. This is like,
00:13:51.440
we are threatening you. We're going to hurt you. And if you don't do what we say, I mean,
00:13:55.080
this is very much like a non-free country now. And this is the administration that is operating in a
00:14:00.560
way that we've never seen before. And, and the reality is, I think when we, when we went to
00:14:05.700
protest, Southwest airlines and some of these other companies said, okay, we're not going to fire
00:14:09.380
these people. So we can still, if we, if we're not afraid and we're willing to fight and enough
00:14:14.220
people aren't afraid and are willing to speak out even under threat of FBI investigation and
00:14:19.240
prosecution, which they have threatened parents, uh, who speak in front of their school boards,
00:14:23.760
we cannot shut up. None of us. I can't believe we live in these times, Ken, but we all have,
00:14:32.860
we all have our times. We were all called at this time to do what we're supposed to. And I guess this
00:14:37.960
gives us the opportunity to see who we really are supposed to be or who we allow ourselves to
00:14:44.220
become in our shame later. Ken, thank you so much. Absolutely. It's a time to fight. I hope,
00:14:50.080
uh, I think, I hope Americans will, will, will not put up with this and stand up and fight.
00:14:54.540
Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general, just so everybody is very clear. Uh, he doesn't mean go
00:15:01.780
grab a gun. If you think that's what he meant, you are a partisan hack. If you haven't gotten
00:15:08.940
yourself a rec tech yet, what are you waiting for? I actually have two. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. One
00:15:15.760
in my underground lair just in case they start coming. Oh yeah. I'll be, I'll be grilling and
00:15:23.040
smoking in the bunker. Anyway, um, you can make great, great food, uh, rec tech. It will grill.
00:15:31.480
It will smoke. It will even bake. It is the best in the grilling game, smart grill technology. It
00:15:39.100
tracks its own cooking, keeps the heat even all throughout while you're monitoring from an app
00:15:44.860
on your phone or in a device, not missing any of the fun. In other words, rec tech does all the work.
00:15:51.760
You get all the credit. It's fantastic. Fire up the computer or heck do it from your phone. Order a
00:15:57.100
rec tech for the holidays. No better way to enjoy it. Follow rec tech on social media. Sign up for
00:16:02.860
their newsletter. Rec tech with a Q at the end.com. R E C T E Q.com. This is the best of the Glenn Beck
00:16:12.780
program. The queen has been told by her doctors that she needs to stay on bed rest and cancel her trip to,
00:16:23.820
uh, Northern Ireland, which, Oh my God. Can you imagine losing the queen now and having Prince Charles?
00:16:35.020
She's got to be in her Rolls Royce going, excuse me. Do you have like some really spoiled mayonnaise I could
00:16:45.580
give my son right now? I'm just, no, mom wouldn't do that. I know. I don't think mom would do that.
00:16:53.660
Yeah. That would not. Queen might, the queen might, the queen might, the queen would be like, I've got to
00:16:59.720
protect England and my son will be a nightmare. Okay. Uh, let me, uh, that's wrong. The other thing is,
00:17:11.180
the job doesn't actually do anything. So I don't think it's all that important. Who holds it? Oh,
00:17:17.180
he'll destroy England. Will he? Oh, he has no power. Oh, he will. Just, he will. Just that thing
00:17:24.340
will be, you know, uh, uh, you know, the palaces, those things are going to be museums in no time.
00:17:31.820
I mean, like, but again, that wouldn't destroy the country. That would do nothing.
00:17:35.340
None of that, nothing related to the British Royal family means anything. That's, that's the summary
00:17:43.140
of all the stories about the British Royal family. I'll give you that, but it is a tradition that
00:17:48.460
yes, you know, I'm not paying for. So I like, you know what I mean? If I lived in England,
00:17:53.960
I'd hate them. I'd hate them because why wait, I'm paying. Wait, what am I doing? Hang on. No,
00:18:01.560
I don't think so, but I am American. So I kind of like it. We have a tradition of a monarchy. So
00:18:07.300
we're just going to spend, no, they're going to, no, I'm saying if you were in England, we're going
00:18:13.280
to, we're going to do what now? We're just going to buy them all this stuff. Yeah. That's what I
00:18:17.560
would be saying. Yes. And I'd be saying abolish the monarchy. I would be saying that, but since I'm a
00:18:22.340
tourist, I think it's kind of quaint and cool. This is a cool palace, right? It's really neat. I like that.
00:18:27.920
Look, they have guards. Let's try to make them laugh. That's our, I think it's an important
00:18:32.780
tradition that Americans started long ago and, uh, we, we can't lose those guys in the funny hats.
00:18:39.640
Can't, can't. What are our kids going to do when they go over to England? If they can't try to make
00:18:44.560
that guy laugh, just drink Guinness. And I'm about to tell my kids to start drinking. Uh, let me, uh,
00:18:52.900
let me give you a couple of things here. Uh, first, may I just, may I just say thank you
00:19:00.920
to in and out burger, the in and out. I knew I had you in and out burger. Didn't I? Yeah.
00:19:09.320
The San Francisco in and out burger was shut down after employees allegedly didn't check
00:19:14.300
for customers vaccine documents. Oh my gosh. You must be vaccinated because of, for all the
00:19:20.740
healthy activity you're about to participate in inside the in and out burger, you must be
00:19:25.940
protected. Right. In San Francisco, people have been required since August 20th to show proof
00:19:31.060
that they've been vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to, uh, enter some indoor places like
00:19:37.640
restaurants, gyms, and bars. I'm sure home Depot is fine. Still the fast food restaurant located
00:19:44.720
in Fisherman's wharf was forced to shut down on October 14th, but house now reopened with indoor
00:19:51.080
dining remaining unavailable. The company said a statement in and out chief legal and business
00:19:57.440
officer Arnie Weisensinger, uh, defended not having employees check their customers vaccine
00:20:03.820
status. Uh, now don't you want to hear this from more companies? We refuse to become the vaccine
00:20:10.320
police for any government. We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private
00:20:17.800
company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business. This
00:20:23.100
is a clear government overreach. Amen. That is fantastic. You know, there's an argument
00:20:28.700
to be made. If you want to come up with a vaccine mandate that you want to police, then use your
00:20:32.920
police to do it, right? You're forcing these companies to micromanage the health of everybody
00:20:40.880
that walks in the door. Some are being forced. Some are being forced. Not all of them. Yeah. And
00:20:46.260
that's the thing. There's so much of this you could just ignore. I mean, I look, we should fight
00:20:49.440
against it because it's wrong, but so much of this you can ignore. I was talking to, uh, I think it was
00:20:54.220
Ami Horowitz was in town and you know, Ami, uh, I love him. Great filmmaker, uh, does a lot of great
00:20:59.080
things. And we've talked to him a bunch of times and I asked him, I'm like, what's it like in New York
00:21:02.380
right now? That's where he lives. They've got these vaccine mandates to walk in the door of
00:21:05.960
these restaurants. I'm like, what's, what's real life like? He said, some places are doing it, but
00:21:10.940
in the vast majority, you just go in and no one says anything to you. You know what I mean? And
00:21:15.600
that's like, this is the thing, you know, we talk about all of this stuff so often and so much of it
00:21:21.440
is focused on the government policy, which is important, but there's a big element of this that
00:21:26.640
if you just don't do it, it doesn't happen. Well, as long as NPR hasn't convinced somebody
00:21:34.240
in your employee to rat on you to OSHA and someone will in a lot of these bigger companies,
00:21:39.120
but again, so much of this can just be ignored. You know, I mean, so much of this can just be,
00:21:45.640
you know, we have speeding mandates all over every single town and the people who want to go the speed
00:21:52.600
they want to go generally just go that speed. You know, I mean, and like, yes, sometimes they
00:21:58.120
pull people over, but like everyone kind of knows it's a joke. People go the speed that they think
00:22:03.880
is appropriate 90% of the time. And we sometimes give too much credence to government. You know,
00:22:10.680
we don't listen to them and this is the United States of America. We do what we think is right
00:22:14.460
most of the time. And sometimes people get caught up in overreach of government. So we must fight
00:22:19.960
back against it. I'm not saying we shouldn't, but we also should take, take responsibility for our
00:22:26.660
own actions and standing up against this stuff personally. It's not always just about what the
00:22:31.100
government does. Well, may I just say, friends, yes, friends, I'd like to open the scriptures right now.
00:22:42.920
You see friends, it was the 11th century BC in the land of Israel. Samuel had been the judge of
00:22:54.880
Israel and his sons who took his place had fallen away. They had fallen away. Amen. They had fallen
00:23:03.220
away. Now, friends, this was a judge. This was a judge, not the same thing as a king. The true king
00:23:13.340
of the Israelites was God. Amen. Hallelujah. Can I get a name? I didn't ask for hallelujah. Amen. Thank
00:23:20.880
you. The judges were the people who God used to rescue Israel from its enemies. And there were many,
00:23:29.480
many enemies. And the judges were usually held high in esteem. Can I get an amen? You can get an amen!
00:23:37.040
But the sons of Samuel straight away, oh, they wanted that evil lucre. They wanted their money.
00:23:45.560
They distorted justice in exchange for bribes. They forgot the way of life that God had given them.
00:23:54.220
And so the people, the people all gathered together. And they began to cry out for a king.
00:24:02.480
Give me a king! King! I don't, that's not how this. They said, give us a king to judge us. And Samuel
00:24:13.180
didn't want to do this. So he asked God for advice. And God said to Samuel, if the people ask for a king,
00:24:21.320
I mean, I mean, I mean, they're rejecting me, but, you know, they don't want me to be their king? Fine.
00:24:28.860
I don't have to be their king. Beat it. Or something like that. You see, the Israelites were stubborn and God knew it.
00:24:37.500
So he told Samuel to warn, hey, if you want a king, you know, to roll over you,
00:24:44.920
this guy's going to draft your sons into service, going to make your daughters work in the kitchen,
00:24:51.020
take the best crops, redistribute them, impose heavy taxes. You know, it's, just tell them that, will you?
00:25:00.460
So Samuel told the people, he said, we don't want to, we don't want a king.
00:25:07.140
And they said, we want to be like other nations. We want a king to fight our battles.
00:25:12.620
And so God warned the Israelites that he could not save them for the consequences of their choice,
00:25:18.740
that a king would do all of those terrible things.
00:25:22.740
And when they cried for freedom, God was like, oh, you want me now?
00:25:29.920
Oh, I thought you didn't want me. I thought you wanted a king.
00:25:32.320
Why don't you cry to a king to have him save you?
00:25:39.720
And when you, when you cry out for a king, you're going to get it.
00:25:45.820
And Israel received the king that they asked for.
00:26:02.320
It lays out universal truths about human nature.
00:26:08.140
We are all looking for someone to come in and save us.
00:26:14.100
And really, it's us that need to save ourselves.
00:26:19.160
If you want a king to save us, if you want somebody to ride in on their white horse to save us,
00:26:27.040
I'm warning you right now, that's the wrong way to go.
00:26:40.720
He's going to do all these things and subject our children to the flag and stuff.
00:26:45.340
And so, they voted for a different kind of king.
00:26:51.160
People will give up the burden of freedom for the ease of the moment.
00:27:15.040
If you want to be free, and you don't want a king to rule over you, that means you have to rule over you.
00:27:23.360
And you have to make some really tough decisions.
00:27:27.280
You can't say, you know what, give the power to keep all of us safe to a king.
00:27:31.420
Because once that power is given to that king, that power is not going to give it back.
00:27:41.720
You read stories in history, and it keeps repeating itself over and over and over again.
00:27:52.320
And you know, one time it was, the American experiment.
00:28:06.140
They were willing to die for the burden of a free conscience.
00:28:12.160
Where the Israelites rejected God as their king in the story,
00:28:15.080
the new Americans declared only God could be man's king and no other man.
00:28:22.320
Now, you would expect, when America falls back and we lose our way,
00:28:31.080
that we would fall back to the original factory settings.
00:28:44.320
It is the longest standing democracy or republic in the world.
00:28:48.320
Every free nation looks to us as the model of liberty.
00:29:01.640
The problems we have today is we are expecting and crying out for a king and a government to solve our problems.
00:29:10.320
Anyone who we agree with to give all the power so we can go back to our lives.
00:29:25.860
It means we don't want God as our king anymore.
00:29:28.540
And just like the Israelites, if we keep asking for a king, that is exactly what we will get and exactly what we will deserve.
00:30:01.420
You're just going along your average day and you think that, you know, I live in a stable country and these crazy things are not going to happen.
00:30:13.800
Even though people are saying, no, no, no, they're coming.
00:30:21.280
And now you're walking down the street and you hear the U.S. president say, we're pulling out of Afghanistan.
00:30:35.400
This is the true rescue story of a woman named Asma.
00:30:48.980
Tonight at nine o'clock, we're doing a special on this.
00:30:54.000
And I want you to hear just a couple of pieces.
00:31:03.520
I had plans like to go to the bank and withdraw some money and then go and meet my sister.
00:31:20.180
And because of too much traffic, I decided to get out of the car and walk.
00:31:45.600
I was stopping there and I was looking around myself.
00:31:49.220
Everyone starts screaming and everyone starts running.
00:31:58.440
What's amazing is on the other side of the planet, her sister was at home in the Washington, D.C. area.
00:33:14.620
Eventually, there were seven buses of schoolgirls at the Kabul airport at the gate.
00:33:41.840
While the rest of the bus and the girls didn't know what to do.
00:33:46.980
she did some heroic things that you have to see
00:33:53.200
I want to thank the people that have helped in recovery.
00:34:00.840
In the car on the way from Macedonia to Albania,
00:34:12.320
Was Gino, Chris, Soraya, and Al from the Nazarene Fund.
00:34:18.820
Coordinating remotely with the car and the DOD was Francisco from Arxis International.
00:34:29.400
Volunteers who worked from a rented conference room at the Willard Hotel in D.C.
00:35:00.500
It's something we have not done a show like this before.
00:35:15.760
He's the founder and executive director of Deliver Fund,
00:35:18.820
who is one of the partners that we partner with them
00:35:24.700
I just wanted to get an update on some of the stuff
00:35:27.640
that you guys are doing now and give us some good news.
00:35:31.620
Because I think people think that this is all stopped.
00:36:07.120
And that's an important thing for people to understand,
00:36:14.380
I mean, right, yes, women, but also young girls,
