The Glenn Beck Program - Seven Deadly Worldviews ｜ Guest： Steve Deace

00:00:00.000 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:13.600 One of the quintessential movies of 2019 is The Joker.

00:00:21.380 And one of the great lines in the movie is when Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck says,

00:00:28.020 is it just me or is it getting crazier out there?

00:00:33.040 As we wind down 2019, a lot of us are thinking that right now,

00:00:37.420 knowing that with an election looming, we're going to get even more crazy in 2020.

00:00:42.280 Today, though, on the Glenn Beck Program, we're going to peel the curtain back.

00:00:46.180 What is the origin, and if I could use this term, genesis for a lot of the crazy we're seeing?

00:00:52.020 That's what we're going to be discussing here today on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:58.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:00.640 Hey, you want a New Year's resolution that you can actually keep?

00:01:03.980 Resolve to help protect your identity and personal information with LifeLock Identity Theft Protection.

00:01:09.820 LifeLock will alert you to potential threats to your identity.

00:01:13.400 And they'll see more than what you can see by just monitoring your own credit,

00:01:16.820 like information on the dark web.

00:01:18.440 And if you have a problem, LifeLock's U.S.-based restoration specialists

00:01:22.660 know the steps to help resolve your case.

00:01:25.460 After all, only one in five identity theft victims who had accounts open in their name

00:01:30.640 discovered their theft through a bank or a credit card company.

00:01:34.080 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:01:38.000 But LifeLock is the New Year's resolution that's not only easy to keep,

00:01:42.020 it'll help you protect what you've worked so hard for.

00:01:44.740 I've worked with LifeLock for years, and I've had LifeLock for years because of the best in the business.

00:01:49.100 So get LifeLock now for up to 25% off your first year with promo code BECK at LifeLock.com.

00:01:56.440 Promo code BECK for up to 25% off at LifeLock.com.

00:02:11.080 And greetings.

00:02:12.100 You're going to find out today that they're so desperate for holiday help around here,

00:02:17.700 they're going to basically let anybody fill in.

00:02:21.040 To some of you, we'll be a tad familiar because on Blaze TV,

00:02:24.900 we do the show after Glenn Beck each day from noon to 2 Eastern.

00:02:29.700 You can get that at Blaze TV.

00:02:31.460 You can get it at Blaze Radio.

00:02:32.860 You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.

00:02:37.040 For the rest of you, my name is Steve Dace, and my team with My Daily Show is here with me.

00:02:43.180 We're going to be filling in for Glenn Beck over the next couple of days.

00:02:46.480 You'll hear and see if you're watching on Blaze TV.

00:02:49.220 You'll hear across the country as well the voice of Todd Erzin as well as Aaron McIntyre.

00:02:56.540 And what we want to do here today and tomorrow is, you know,

00:03:01.500 this is the time of year when I think a lot of us are kind of looking at the big picture.

00:03:09.600 Not so much the day-to-day news of what's happening.

00:03:12.560 In fact, a lot of times we're trying to get away from that.

00:03:18.200 And we're looking at larger themes.

00:03:21.260 Looking back on the year, you get those notes in the mail,

00:03:23.980 the Christmas updates from friends and family that you didn't talk to enough all year round

00:03:29.160 and get updated, and maybe you send those out as well.

00:03:32.100 There's a lot of retrospectives this time of year.

00:03:34.880 Look backs on the year that was.

00:03:37.280 The famous people who passed away.

00:03:39.180 What were the major stories?

00:03:40.500 The biggest movies.

00:03:41.820 The biggest cultural trends.

00:03:44.360 We want to take an even bigger picture view

00:03:47.140 as we fill in over the next couple of days.

00:03:51.520 And we are debating things.

00:03:54.440 I don't have to tell if you're Glenn's audience.

00:03:56.320 I don't have to tell you this.

00:03:57.280 This is not breaking news to you.

00:03:58.560 It's not a spoiler alert.

00:03:59.840 We are debating things.

00:04:02.220 That if you are the generation ahead of me, I'm 46.

00:04:06.360 Todd, what are you, 46 as well?

00:04:08.040 47.

00:04:08.920 And then Aaron, you're 26, right?

00:04:11.080 Correct.

00:04:11.460 All right.

00:04:11.680 So if you're the generation ahead of us,

00:04:14.820 we are debating things now

00:04:17.780 and mainstreaming things now

00:04:19.980 that would have been unthinkable in your lifetime.

00:04:25.240 And in your lifetime,

00:04:27.380 you've lived through some cultural upheaval.

00:04:30.220 If you're the generation ahead of us,

00:04:31.920 you live through the 60s.

00:04:33.520 You live through marches and bra burnings,

00:04:36.560 sexual revolutions.

00:04:37.500 But there was this notion, though,

00:04:40.280 that in your youth,

00:04:43.080 you challenged the status quo,

00:04:46.720 the pre-existing authority.

00:04:48.840 And maybe in your generation,

00:04:50.460 you went further than others have.

00:04:52.320 But there was still this notion

00:04:53.840 that eventually you would grow up.

00:04:56.940 You would come home to some form

00:04:59.900 of normalcy, of tradition.

00:05:03.100 It might look different than other generations.

00:05:05.880 It might be zanier than other generations.

00:05:08.440 But there would still be some foundation there

00:05:12.160 once you were done pushing the envelope.

00:05:15.480 You wanted to push the edges of the envelope.

00:05:19.060 You didn't want to rip it open.

00:05:22.680 And you're living now long enough to see

00:05:26.000 that the generations behind you

00:05:29.380 are just bypassing the envelope

00:05:33.520 pushing altogether.

00:05:35.860 In fact, they're debating,

00:05:38.840 if I could use my Beavis and Butthead voice,

00:05:42.340 what's an envelope?

00:05:44.020 That's what they're debating now.

00:05:46.340 What's a person?

00:05:50.140 What's a male?

00:05:52.440 What's a female?

00:05:54.800 What's a border?

00:05:56.600 Do we know what that is?

00:06:00.560 What's a dollar?

00:06:04.280 What's anything?

00:06:06.540 What does anything mean?

00:06:11.940 And you can see the angst.

00:06:15.740 You can see it in what's popular

00:06:17.720 in our cultural trends.

00:06:19.840 The number one movie of the year,

00:06:22.280 which is great, by the way,

00:06:23.820 but its subtitle is Endgame.

00:06:28.040 All right?

00:06:29.100 I've already quoted from The Joker,

00:06:31.700 which is nihilism on parade.

00:06:35.840 Glorified.

00:06:36.440 And if there's any movie line

00:06:39.800 that best summarizes American culture

00:06:44.260 in 2019,

00:06:46.480 it's when Robert De Niro's

00:06:49.400 Johnny Carson wannabe character

00:06:51.440 looks at Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

00:06:53.000 and says,

00:06:53.320 what is this?

00:06:54.220 What is the point of this?

00:06:55.580 You're trying to make a political statement?

00:06:56.860 I mean, he's a baby boomer, right?

00:06:58.620 He's from an era

00:06:59.780 where you did provocative things

00:07:01.740 to make points,

00:07:03.140 where Alice Cooper

00:07:04.280 did Welcome to My Nightmare

00:07:05.640 when he was in his 20s,

00:07:07.580 and now he runs like a youth ministry

00:07:09.720 for wayward kids in his 70s.

00:07:11.780 He eventually grew up,

00:07:13.400 came back to some form of normalcy,

00:07:15.080 albeit with too much eyeliner,

00:07:16.760 but he came back

00:07:18.040 to some form of normalcy.

00:07:19.960 And now you're like,

00:07:21.580 these generations

00:07:22.580 aren't going to come back from the brick.

00:07:23.980 They're going to go way over it.

00:07:25.780 They're going to take us over it as well.

00:07:28.660 And so that's Robert De Niro's character

00:07:31.120 in The Joker.

00:07:32.500 He's like,

00:07:32.720 hey, I did some of this crazy stuff too

00:07:34.180 when I was your age.

00:07:35.360 Went a little too far.

00:07:37.180 Smoked a little too much weed.

00:07:38.580 Drank a little too much.

00:07:39.700 But, you know,

00:07:40.400 we were trying to make a political statement.

00:07:41.820 What are you doing here?

00:07:42.700 What's your point?

00:07:43.680 What do you believe in?

00:07:44.380 And when Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

00:07:47.720 looks into the camera and says,

00:07:49.460 I don't believe in anything.

00:07:55.540 That, folks,

00:07:57.800 as you have lived through

00:07:59.220 rape hoaxes of Supreme Court justices

00:08:01.980 you didn't like

00:08:02.740 or they didn't like

00:08:04.240 and Russian collusion hoaxes

00:08:06.160 and Ukrainian hoaxes.

00:08:08.460 It's a hoax a minute nowadays.

00:08:11.360 Jussie Smollett hoaxes.

00:08:12.600 Now we've got people

00:08:13.980 that are now doing hoaxes.

00:08:16.020 Well, my kid got beat up

00:08:17.520 for being a right winger.

00:08:19.020 Those are two stories now.

00:08:20.820 Those hoaxes aren't true.

00:08:23.560 It's hoaxes galore.

00:08:24.940 That might be the new villain

00:08:25.860 in the Bond movie,

00:08:26.940 hoaxes galore.

00:08:28.720 And you're wondering,

00:08:29.900 how did we get here?

00:08:32.340 That is,

00:08:33.680 that's the mantra

00:08:36.160 of America in 2019.

00:08:38.580 I don't believe

00:08:40.960 in anything.

00:08:43.540 Now,

00:08:44.380 we didn't get here

00:08:45.720 overnight.

00:08:47.800 This has been

00:08:49.180 decades

00:08:50.680 in the making.

00:08:52.840 And what we're going to do

00:08:54.540 over the course

00:08:55.220 of this program

00:08:56.060 is,

00:08:57.960 is we're going to peel back

00:08:59.700 the curtain.

00:09:01.640 We're going to let you see

00:09:03.160 the spirit of the age

00:09:04.620 operating

00:09:05.300 behind the curtain.

00:09:06.320 that

00:09:08.160 the chaos

00:09:09.840 you're witnessing

00:09:10.760 is not coincidental.

00:09:13.220 It's coordinated.

00:09:15.460 That

00:09:16.100 this has been

00:09:17.420 long in the making

00:09:18.880 to deconstruct

00:09:20.020 Western civilization,

00:09:21.160 of which America

00:09:22.900 is its last

00:09:24.240 line

00:09:24.880 of defense.

00:09:26.360 Because really,

00:09:27.260 what we call

00:09:27.840 American exceptionalism

00:09:29.280 really is

00:09:30.260 Western civilization.

00:09:32.720 And there has been

00:09:34.040 a coordinated movement

00:09:35.980 over the last

00:09:36.640 few decades

00:09:37.240 to walk us

00:09:39.320 through a systemic

00:09:40.100 process

00:09:40.640 to undo us.

00:09:42.680 Todd,

00:09:42.840 the word you like

00:09:43.460 to use is

00:09:43.980 iconoclastic,

00:09:45.100 right?

00:09:45.440 Correct.

00:09:45.840 That's your term.

00:09:47.040 And that's just

00:09:48.300 a nice,

00:09:49.200 fancy term

00:09:49.900 for people

00:09:50.640 who want to

00:09:51.160 shatter the stained

00:09:51.900 glass windows

00:09:52.620 in your culture.

00:09:54.000 That's just a nice,

00:09:55.280 fancy term

00:09:55.960 for the people

00:09:56.980 that just want

00:09:58.080 to watch the world

00:09:58.740 burn.

00:10:00.180 And we're going

00:10:00.920 to walk you

00:10:01.560 through this process

00:10:03.040 today.

00:10:04.460 What are

00:10:05.440 these worldviews

00:10:06.720 that are competing

00:10:07.460 with the founding

00:10:08.620 worldview

00:10:09.340 of this country,

00:10:10.940 the Judeo-Christian

00:10:11.840 worldview?

00:10:13.180 Where did they

00:10:14.000 come from?

00:10:15.560 How did they

00:10:16.380 get here?

00:10:18.020 And where do

00:10:18.880 they want to

00:10:19.400 take us?

00:10:20.720 And we're going

00:10:21.040 to walk you

00:10:21.460 through a bit

00:10:21.960 of a cultural

00:10:22.780 devolution

00:10:23.520 flowchart

00:10:24.500 today.

00:10:25.940 From step one

00:10:26.960 all the way

00:10:27.640 to step seven,

00:10:29.220 they're called

00:10:29.980 the seven

00:10:30.840 deadly

00:10:31.620 worldviews.

00:10:33.040 And we're

00:10:34.180 going to

00:10:34.420 introduce you

00:10:35.360 to what's

00:10:36.320 happening to

00:10:37.100 your culture

00:10:37.720 and what

00:10:38.400 they're doing

00:10:38.880 to it right

00:10:39.700 now when we

00:10:41.000 return on the

00:11:57.580 these final two

00:11:58.340 days of 2019

00:11:59.620 in place of

00:12:01.500 Glenn.

00:12:02.120 We do the

00:12:02.820 show after

00:12:03.540 Glenn Beck

00:12:04.100 here on

00:12:04.480 Blaze TV

00:12:05.020 radio and

00:12:05.660 podcast,

00:12:06.400 noon to

00:12:06.680 2 Eastern.

00:12:07.960 And today

00:12:08.580 we're going to

00:12:08.980 talk about

00:12:09.840 how did we

00:12:11.220 get here

00:12:11.860 as a people?

00:12:13.000 Why is it

00:12:13.500 getting crazier

00:12:14.240 out there?

00:12:14.800 And what are

00:12:15.660 these seven

00:12:16.460 deadly worldviews

00:12:17.440 that I teased

00:12:17.940 earlier?

00:12:18.540 Now,

00:12:18.940 before we get

00:12:19.340 to those,

00:12:20.320 we've got to

00:12:20.660 quickly line up

00:12:21.600 though,

00:12:22.300 or lay out,

00:12:23.340 what's the

00:12:23.820 worldview that

00:12:24.820 founded the

00:12:25.340 country?

00:12:25.820 What is that?

00:12:27.620 And a

00:12:29.220 worldview is

00:12:30.020 simply how you

00:12:30.860 see the world

00:12:31.620 and your place

00:12:33.300 in it.

00:12:33.980 How you

00:12:34.820 choose to

00:12:35.820 answer the

00:12:37.140 biggest questions

00:12:37.960 in life.

00:12:39.300 Why am I

00:12:40.200 here?

00:12:41.300 Where am I

00:12:42.160 ultimately heading?

00:12:43.840 What is the

00:12:44.500 purpose of my

00:12:45.560 life and

00:12:46.060 human life

00:12:46.780 in particular?

00:12:49.360 Why is the

00:12:50.280 world the

00:12:50.900 way that it

00:12:51.440 is?

00:12:52.500 Why am I

00:12:53.640 the way that

00:12:54.160 I am?

00:12:55.320 And then what

00:12:56.040 can be done

00:12:56.480 about that?

00:12:57.560 Those are

00:12:58.080 the factors

00:13:00.000 that make up

00:13:00.680 your worldview,

00:13:01.360 how you

00:13:01.700 answer those

00:13:02.320 questions.

00:13:02.880 We all

00:13:03.480 have a

00:13:04.220 worldview.

00:13:06.380 We all

00:13:07.020 do.

00:13:07.480 It's just a

00:13:07.980 matter of

00:13:08.420 what we

00:13:08.920 plug in

00:13:09.460 to those

00:13:10.260 blank spaces

00:13:11.520 to fill in

00:13:12.280 the blanks.

00:13:12.780 That's the

00:13:13.280 only difference

00:13:13.880 is what we

00:13:14.280 plug in

00:13:14.600 there.

00:13:15.440 Now,

00:13:15.860 your country,

00:13:17.060 the one

00:13:17.280 that we

00:13:17.540 live in,

00:13:19.080 was founded

00:13:20.020 on a

00:13:20.400 principle

00:13:20.760 that rights

00:13:23.520 come from

00:13:24.080 God.

00:13:25.480 And as

00:13:25.840 G.K.

00:13:26.800 Chesterton said,

00:13:27.400 it was the

00:13:27.660 only country

00:13:28.120 ever founded

00:13:28.740 upon a

00:13:29.200 creed.

00:13:30.100 And what

00:13:30.400 was that

00:13:30.760 creed?

00:13:31.060 It's the

00:13:31.380 opening

00:13:31.740 mission

00:13:32.560 statement of

00:13:33.060 the

00:13:33.160 Declaration

00:13:33.600 of

00:13:33.840 Independence.

00:13:34.240 We hold

00:13:34.700 these truths

00:13:35.140 to be

00:13:35.440 self-evident,

00:13:36.200 that all

00:13:36.720 men are

00:13:37.180 created

00:13:37.540 equal,

00:13:38.560 endowed

00:13:39.020 by their

00:13:39.480 creator

00:13:40.060 with

00:13:41.200 unalienable

00:13:42.160 rights,

00:13:43.500 preexistent

00:13:44.380 rights that

00:13:45.360 cannot be

00:13:45.760 taken away.

00:13:46.980 These are

00:13:47.300 rights that

00:13:47.680 existed before

00:13:48.360 government did.

00:13:49.740 Therefore,

00:13:50.040 government cannot

00:13:50.520 grant that

00:13:51.380 or take away

00:13:52.240 that which it

00:13:52.720 did not grant.

00:13:53.460 That's why

00:13:53.800 your constitution

00:13:54.360 begins with

00:13:55.060 the words,

00:13:55.880 we the

00:13:56.180 people,

00:13:56.940 in order to

00:13:57.760 form a more

00:13:58.260 perfect union.

00:13:59.060 The constitution

00:13:59.900 was made by

00:14:02.060 the people

00:14:02.580 for the

00:14:03.220 people,

00:14:03.840 not the

00:14:04.200 people by

00:14:04.820 and for

00:14:05.320 the constitution.

00:14:06.140 Of course,

00:14:08.100 if you

00:14:08.220 can have

00:14:08.440 God-given

00:14:08.840 rights,

00:14:09.240 then we've

00:14:09.620 got to

00:14:09.840 have an

00:14:10.080 understanding

00:14:10.440 of who's

00:14:10.920 God.

00:14:13.180 Now,

00:14:13.760 your founding

00:14:14.120 fathers came

00:14:14.860 out of an

00:14:15.280 era where

00:14:16.500 they believed

00:14:17.780 in general

00:14:18.680 there was

00:14:19.380 only one

00:14:20.100 true living

00:14:20.680 God,

00:14:21.160 the God

00:14:21.480 of the

00:14:21.720 Bible.

00:14:22.680 Now,

00:14:23.080 they had

00:14:23.380 varying

00:14:24.020 viewpoints

00:14:24.560 on what

00:14:26.080 that God

00:14:26.560 commanded

00:14:27.320 of them

00:14:27.920 and expected

00:14:28.660 of them

00:14:29.200 and what

00:14:29.840 they must

00:14:30.240 do in

00:14:31.540 response to

00:14:32.860 that.

00:14:34.200 You had

00:14:34.640 the intellectual

00:14:35.180 curiosity of

00:14:36.060 a Thomas

00:14:36.420 Jefferson,

00:14:37.360 you had

00:14:37.560 the theological

00:14:38.480 fidelity of

00:14:40.480 a Benjamin

00:14:40.900 Rush or

00:14:41.400 a Patrick

00:14:41.840 Henry,

00:14:42.840 and then

00:14:43.560 you had

00:14:44.140 the inquisitiveness

00:14:45.220 to religious

00:14:48.340 cynicism of

00:14:49.120 a Thomas

00:14:49.480 Payne.

00:14:51.260 Not very

00:14:52.400 much unlike

00:14:52.920 the day and

00:14:53.800 age in which

00:14:54.360 we live

00:14:55.100 today.

00:14:55.600 If you

00:14:55.920 were to

00:14:56.380 come over

00:14:56.740 to the

00:14:57.040 Blaze and

00:14:57.520 Blaze TV,

00:14:58.520 you'd see

00:14:59.040 a whole lot

00:15:00.000 of personalities

00:15:00.700 that are

00:15:01.580 kind of

00:15:02.260 modern-day

00:15:03.060 emulations

00:15:03.840 of all the

00:15:04.600 caricatures I

00:15:05.280 just laid

00:15:05.660 out.

00:15:06.060 There was

00:15:06.740 a lot

00:15:07.100 of diversity

00:15:07.760 of thought.

00:15:09.220 But what

00:15:09.920 they ultimately

00:15:10.520 understood is

00:15:11.920 that they

00:15:13.280 were, if

00:15:14.420 they were

00:15:14.620 going to

00:15:14.900 have self

00:15:15.380 government,

00:15:15.860 they had

00:15:16.080 to be

00:15:16.260 accountable

00:15:16.620 to something

00:15:17.420 larger than

00:15:18.140 themselves.

00:15:19.160 And that

00:15:19.700 something was

00:15:20.280 going to be

00:15:20.820 the one

00:15:21.460 true living

00:15:22.380 God, where

00:15:23.700 our rights

00:15:24.100 come from.

00:15:26.180 And, you

00:15:27.920 know, we're in

00:15:28.160 a time of

00:15:28.660 year where

00:15:29.640 people have a

00:15:30.440 different opinion

00:15:31.060 of what to

00:15:31.720 celebrate this

00:15:32.320 time of year.

00:15:32.800 If you're

00:15:33.740 like me, you

00:15:34.580 believe Jesus

00:15:35.180 is the reason

00:15:35.900 for the

00:15:36.240 season.

00:15:37.220 You may

00:15:37.820 light the

00:15:38.260 menorah this

00:15:38.920 time of

00:15:39.320 year.

00:15:40.080 But ultimately,

00:15:41.540 there is a

00:15:42.500 time and place

00:15:43.160 for us to

00:15:43.620 have those

00:15:44.600 debates.

00:15:45.120 and they're

00:15:48.060 necessary.

00:15:48.940 And it's

00:15:49.500 probably the

00:15:50.120 most important

00:15:50.720 debate of

00:15:51.280 them all.

00:15:52.960 Who is

00:15:53.580 God?

00:15:56.240 But ultimately,

00:15:57.420 we can't live

00:15:58.280 in a civil

00:15:58.760 society with

00:15:59.620 people of

00:16:00.900 pluralistic

00:16:01.420 viewpoints unless

00:16:02.600 we understand

00:16:03.440 to render

00:16:04.020 unto Caesar

00:16:04.600 that which is

00:16:05.240 Caesar and to

00:16:05.720 render unto

00:16:06.060 God that

00:16:06.580 which is

00:16:06.880 God's.

00:16:08.400 And so this

00:16:08.880 is what your

00:16:09.300 founders understood.

00:16:10.380 This is why

00:16:10.720 they put clauses

00:16:11.500 in the

00:16:11.740 Constitution like

00:16:12.580 no religious

00:16:13.420 test for

00:16:13.940 office, for

00:16:14.480 example.

00:16:15.120 Because the

00:16:15.960 state colonies

00:16:16.600 were almost

00:16:17.220 all chartered

00:16:18.180 by churches.

00:16:19.240 Well, how

00:16:19.600 were they

00:16:19.800 going to

00:16:20.100 navigate?

00:16:21.600 Quakers in

00:16:22.200 Pennsylvania,

00:16:22.940 Catholics in

00:16:23.460 Maryland,

00:16:24.900 Presbyterians

00:16:25.860 and Episcopalians

00:16:28.300 in Virginia

00:16:29.100 and Baptists

00:16:30.540 in Georgia,

00:16:32.720 Congregationalists

00:16:33.680 in Connecticut.

00:16:34.260 How were they

00:16:34.600 going to do

00:16:35.040 this?

00:16:35.580 And they

00:16:35.940 realized early

00:16:36.820 on that the

00:16:37.800 only way to

00:16:38.640 just go right

00:16:39.880 down the same

00:16:40.400 road of these

00:16:41.980 Christian sects

00:16:43.300 killing each

00:16:43.840 other on the

00:16:44.380 battlefield as

00:16:44.940 they had in

00:16:45.500 Europe for

00:16:45.900 hundreds of

00:16:46.340 years.

00:16:47.000 The only way

00:16:47.420 to win the

00:16:47.820 game was to

00:16:48.400 not play and

00:16:49.540 simply say you

00:16:50.700 are the master

00:16:51.380 of your own

00:16:52.080 conscience and

00:16:53.260 you are

00:16:53.580 accountable to

00:16:54.260 your ultimate

00:16:54.840 master for your

00:16:55.640 conscience, not

00:16:56.600 to the state.

00:16:57.640 And the state

00:16:58.420 is not here to

00:17:00.080 play master over

00:17:00.880 your conscience.

00:17:02.600 The state is

00:17:03.380 here to protect

00:17:04.260 and defend your

00:17:04.840 God-given

00:17:05.200 rights.

00:17:06.480 And one of

00:17:07.120 those, chief

00:17:07.920 among those, is

00:17:08.820 your own

00:17:09.060 conscience.

00:17:09.380 And this is

00:17:11.900 how we can get

00:17:12.380 people here on

00:17:12.960 our show, for

00:17:13.500 example.

00:17:14.300 I'm an

00:17:14.700 evangelical.

00:17:16.060 Todd is a

00:17:16.620 Catholic.

00:17:17.600 Our forefathers

00:17:18.740 slaughtered each

00:17:20.020 other for hundreds

00:17:20.640 of years on the

00:17:21.460 battlefields of

00:17:22.100 Europe.

00:17:22.620 We have some

00:17:23.420 deep theological

00:17:24.340 disagreements, and

00:17:25.240 if you listen to

00:17:25.940 our show on a

00:17:26.680 daily basis on

00:17:27.800 Blaze TV, radio,

00:17:28.680 and podcast, you

00:17:29.320 know that without

00:17:30.360 killing one another,

00:17:31.780 we're not shy about

00:17:32.820 airing them.

00:17:33.320 We even went

00:17:34.180 through the

00:17:34.980 500th anniversary

00:17:36.040 of the Reformation

00:17:37.040 two years ago, and

00:17:39.580 had this all out in

00:17:40.760 the open, correct?

00:17:41.460 We did.

00:17:41.780 It was fun.

00:17:42.360 Yep.

00:17:42.620 So I'm an

00:17:44.060 evangelical, you're

00:17:44.920 a Catholic, Aaron's

00:17:46.260 a millennial, it

00:17:47.060 doesn't get more

00:17:47.620 disparate than that,

00:17:49.020 right?

00:17:49.580 Okay, he's still

00:17:50.380 trying to figure out

00:17:51.340 as cynically and

00:17:52.200 bitterly as he

00:17:52.800 possibly can his

00:17:53.700 way in this world.

00:17:55.000 Did I have you

00:17:55.520 pretty much tagged?

00:17:56.320 Yeah, that pegs

00:17:57.340 me.

00:17:57.680 All right, so we

00:17:58.720 managed to do this

00:18:00.200 out in the open

00:18:00.980 as grown men.

00:18:02.020 We don't hide our

00:18:02.960 convictions.

00:18:03.320 And theology from

00:18:04.900 one another, where

00:18:05.820 we agree, we

00:18:06.400 agree, where we

00:18:07.000 don't, we

00:18:07.340 don't.

00:18:08.660 But that's in the

00:18:11.420 sacred arena.

00:18:13.300 In the civic

00:18:14.180 arena, you've got

00:18:15.460 to leave room for

00:18:17.660 differences.

00:18:18.720 Otherwise, you're

00:18:20.880 not going to

00:18:21.180 tolerate those

00:18:21.780 differences.

00:18:22.560 And when you

00:18:22.800 don't tolerate

00:18:23.360 those differences,

00:18:24.420 that's when you

00:18:25.300 get a lot of the

00:18:26.740 worst pages in

00:18:27.520 your history books.

00:18:29.300 And that's the

00:18:30.260 code that our

00:18:30.860 founders cracked.

00:18:31.560 That's why we

00:18:32.940 have withstood

00:18:33.980 all of the

00:18:35.800 trials and

00:18:36.400 tribulations against

00:18:37.440 liberty and

00:18:38.020 freedom of the

00:18:38.540 last 240 some

00:18:40.120 odd years.

00:18:40.720 It's why we

00:18:41.640 have withstood

00:18:42.380 them here in the

00:18:42.940 United States of

00:18:43.540 America.

00:18:44.440 We came up with

00:18:45.820 a system that

00:18:47.180 said that is

00:18:48.900 for another

00:18:50.140 sector of the

00:18:50.920 culture to

00:18:51.400 hatch out.

00:18:52.080 And we're going

00:18:52.740 to give you the

00:18:53.320 freedom to have

00:18:53.980 those debates and

00:18:55.940 to disagree with

00:18:56.720 one another.

00:18:57.160 But you are not

00:18:59.260 to use the

00:18:59.880 coercive power of

00:19:00.960 government to

00:19:02.020 infringe on the

00:19:02.880 God-given rights

00:19:03.580 of somebody else.

00:19:08.880 That's the

00:19:09.560 worldview that

00:19:11.520 established America.

00:19:13.620 It's why we had

00:19:14.580 the Ten Commandments

00:19:15.400 posted in every

00:19:16.080 classroom.

00:19:17.200 It's why they're

00:19:17.920 still posted at the

00:19:18.680 U.S. Supreme

00:19:19.200 Court, which is

00:19:20.340 banning them from

00:19:21.100 public buildings

00:19:21.780 today.

00:19:22.180 It's why your

00:19:24.440 politicians say

00:19:26.560 so help me God

00:19:27.480 when they take an

00:19:28.240 oath of office.

00:19:32.060 That's what

00:19:34.260 permitted the most

00:19:35.400 flourishing by one

00:19:36.680 culture of human

00:19:38.200 achievement in all

00:19:39.840 of human history is

00:19:40.840 that worldview.

00:19:42.200 And it is that

00:19:43.160 worldview that is

00:19:44.680 under attack, but

00:19:45.580 not now.

00:19:46.300 This has actually

00:19:46.980 been going on for

00:19:47.760 quite a while.

00:19:49.040 It's just becoming

00:19:50.200 so prevalent now,

00:19:51.360 so systemic

00:19:52.560 now, that we

00:19:55.620 are forced to

00:19:56.480 have existential

00:19:58.180 debates and

00:19:59.200 questions that

00:20:01.240 go beyond the

00:20:02.540 jobs numbers and

00:20:04.600 the price of gas

00:20:05.920 or what the

00:20:06.940 deficit is or

00:20:09.140 even what the

00:20:09.620 crime rate is.

00:20:13.700 I mean, America

00:20:14.860 has been introduced

00:20:15.660 to black

00:20:16.540 nationalist

00:20:17.600 anti-Semites

00:20:18.960 in New York

00:20:19.920 City and on the

00:20:20.500 East Coast in

00:20:21.000 the last couple

00:20:21.500 of weeks.

00:20:22.560 We didn't even

00:20:23.240 know this existed

00:20:24.140 10 minutes ago.

00:20:25.160 And now it's in

00:20:26.160 the headlines

00:20:26.640 several times.

00:20:28.300 How did we get

00:20:29.960 here?

00:20:30.480 What are these

00:20:31.300 worldviews?

00:20:32.800 And why do they

00:20:33.820 hate the one that

00:20:34.460 founded America?

00:20:35.600 We'll begin

00:20:36.300 explaining them to

00:20:37.060 you when we

00:20:38.020 return here on

00:20:38.880 the Glenn Beck

00:20:39.300 program.

00:20:39.700 You're listening to

00:20:52.280 Glenn Beck.

00:20:53.640 Mortgage rates are

00:20:54.620 so low right now,

00:20:55.980 it is truly the

00:20:56.760 right time to

00:20:57.440 review your

00:20:58.200 financial goals and

00:20:59.640 set the course for

00:21:00.680 your family's future.

00:21:01.900 My choice is

00:21:02.860 American Financing.

00:21:04.140 They're a family-owned

00:21:05.000 national mortgage

00:21:05.940 banker with a salary-based

00:21:07.560 mortgage consultant,

00:21:08.520 so they're in it

00:21:09.460 for you.

00:21:10.020 If it's your goal to

00:21:11.180 purchase a new home,

00:21:12.380 maybe you could use a

00:21:13.320 little more space, or

00:21:14.420 you're downsizing.

00:21:15.360 They can help.

00:21:16.200 If you're looking to

00:21:16.960 consolidate debt into

00:21:18.320 one low payment or just

00:21:19.940 reduce your interest

00:21:21.060 rate to pay less over the

00:21:22.540 life of your loan,

00:21:23.520 American Financing can

00:21:24.680 save you thousands of

00:21:26.300 dollars.

00:21:29.160 urge you, get into a

00:21:30.380 fixed rate.

00:22:30.700 give it a shot.

00:22:32.400 Okay?

00:22:32.600 But we're not going to

00:22:34.200 give much hope that it

00:22:35.640 will actually show up that

00:22:36.580 you like this, but you

00:22:38.240 You can also email me.

00:22:39.340 If we get into anything

00:22:41.840 you have questions about,

00:22:43.120 please feel free to email

00:22:44.100 me.

00:22:44.640 Steve at SteveDace.com.

00:22:47.060 Because we're going to

00:22:47.640 teach some philosophy and

00:22:50.040 some history here today.

00:22:51.840 And over the course of the

00:22:52.540 next couple of days that

00:22:53.260 we're filling in for Glenn,

00:22:54.280 we're going to give you

00:22:54.880 guys kind of what are the

00:22:56.600 twin pillars, if you will.

00:22:59.380 The Two Towers, although

00:23:00.620 we're more with Gandalf the

00:23:02.260 White than Isengard and

00:23:03.980 Mordor, but kind of the

00:23:05.260 Two Towers of our show.

00:23:06.880 Tomorrow, how do we

00:23:08.220 actually do what we

00:23:09.840 believe?

00:23:10.400 And we're going to talk

00:23:11.040 about the Ten Commandments

00:23:12.040 of Political Warfare.

00:23:13.340 But before we get to

00:23:14.080 application, we first have

00:23:15.380 to talk about foundation.

00:23:17.480 What are we up against?

00:23:20.000 Right?

00:23:20.180 Any general will survey the

00:23:22.980 battlefield before he sends

00:23:24.120 soldiers in, if he can.

00:23:25.700 You'll do recon.

00:23:26.380 Even God sent in Hebrew

00:23:29.340 spies to scout the land.

00:23:31.860 So we're going to give you

00:23:33.240 a chance through us to

00:23:35.480 scout the land.

00:23:37.320 We're going to take you

00:23:38.240 through the seven

00:23:39.240 worldviews in order that

00:23:42.340 they have deconstructed

00:23:43.860 your culture to bring you

00:23:45.640 to the point and bring us

00:23:46.680 to the brink that we are

00:23:48.100 at heading into the end of

00:23:50.080 2019 right now.

00:23:52.300 Some of these terms are

00:23:53.540 going to seem a little,

00:23:54.440 you know, college.

00:23:57.280 Don't let that intimidate

00:23:58.320 you.

00:23:58.820 OK, well, first of all, I

00:24:01.700 barely made it out of

00:24:02.740 community college and found

00:24:04.040 out when they kicked me out

00:24:05.340 of school, they don't give

00:24:06.100 degrees for playing super

00:24:07.480 tech mobile an entire

00:24:08.400 semester.

00:24:09.080 So if I can learn this

00:24:10.400 material.

00:24:11.560 All right.

00:24:11.960 So can you because I'm

00:24:13.020 going to make it as about

00:24:13.980 as simple as possible for

00:24:15.140 you, because that's what it

00:24:15.860 had to be for me.

00:24:17.180 All right.

00:24:17.700 So we're going to start with

00:24:18.920 the help of a good friend of

00:24:19.840 our show, Dr.

00:24:20.580 Jeremiah Johnson.

00:24:21.400 Some of you may have seen

00:24:22.120 him on Fox News the last

00:24:23.360 few years, and he is with

00:24:25.080 Houston Baptist University.

00:24:27.000 He's also the head of the

00:24:28.080 Christian Thinkers Society,

00:24:30.020 correct, Aaron?

00:24:30.620 That's correct.

00:24:31.040 Christian Thinkers Society.

00:24:32.540 All right.

00:24:32.760 You're going to hear his

00:24:33.640 voice in some of these

00:24:34.740 intros as well.

00:24:35.900 We're going to give you a

00:24:37.000 look, a brief look at the

00:24:38.420 very first worldview that

00:24:40.060 began all of this, and

00:24:42.060 it's called Gnosticism.

00:24:43.720 Well, it'll be based on

00:24:56.600 knowledge.

00:24:57.120 Truth is, the fact that it's

00:25:00.440 your own faith, your own

00:25:04.140 beliefs, and your upbringing.

00:25:06.860 We think about Gnosticism, of

00:25:08.840 course, it's based on the

00:25:09.940 Greek word gnosis, which means

00:25:11.700 knowledge, or indeed salvation

00:25:14.080 through and by knowledge, in

00:25:16.820 short, salvation through a

00:25:18.280 special knowledge, knowledge

00:25:20.600 that is, as it were, esoteric,

00:25:22.860 and it can be acquired, listen,

00:25:24.740 only by a specific few elite

00:25:27.460 thinkers.

00:25:28.440 I think it's a privilege to

00:25:29.480 call yourself a Scientologist,

00:25:30.740 and it's something that you

00:25:31.380 have to earn.

00:25:32.160 Being a Scientologist, when you

00:25:34.540 drive past an accident, it's not

00:25:36.580 like anyone else.

00:25:37.940 As you drive past, you know you

00:25:39.720 have to do something about it,

00:25:40.840 because you know you're the

00:25:42.840 only one that can really help.

00:25:44.260 The esoteric special knowledge,

00:25:47.360 these individuals who have come

00:25:48.600 up with, if you will, a key

00:25:50.960 that unlocks truth.

00:25:53.100 How do we sift truth from

00:25:55.540 belief?

00:25:57.000 How do we write our own

00:25:57.980 histories, personally or

00:25:59.120 culturally, and thereby define

00:26:01.200 ourselves?

00:26:02.620 How do we penetrate years,

00:26:04.240 centuries, of historical

00:26:05.880 distortion, to find original

00:26:09.180 truth?

00:26:10.000 Well, greetings everyone.

00:26:10.820 Thank you for joining me today

00:26:11.960 as we do a tremendous,

00:26:13.560 incredible study on the

00:26:15.720 Hebrew alphabet and God's

00:26:17.460 words.

00:26:18.240 Now, not just God's word, the

00:26:19.460 Bible, but the individual words

00:26:20.960 and letters of the Old

00:26:22.420 Testament.

00:26:23.000 We've seen iterations, both in

00:26:25.060 modern times and historical

00:26:26.260 times, but it is at its essence

00:26:28.580 salvation just for a privileged

00:26:31.040 few.

00:26:32.000 Jehovah's Witnesses hold the

00:26:33.500 cross in contempt, feeling that

00:26:35.700 it is nothing more than a pagan

00:26:37.340 symbol used by apostate

00:26:39.140 Christendom.

00:26:40.180 When he executes judgment over

00:26:41.860 the world at Armageddon, he

00:26:43.820 will destroy all but the

00:26:45.100 faithful Jehovah's Witnesses.

00:26:46.640 Today, I've got a message

00:26:47.740 prepared for you on who are the

00:26:49.560 144,000?

00:26:50.920 That's a good question.

00:26:51.800 Who are the 144,000?

00:26:54.580 And it's ultimately very

00:26:56.080 self-righteous and haughty.

00:26:58.080 And make no mistake, there is no

00:26:59.620 place for faith and there's no

00:27:01.280 place for grace and Gnosticism.

00:27:03.200 When we think about the world of

00:27:05.540 the Bible, that is the world of

00:27:06.840 Jesus and Judaism, we think

00:27:08.160 about the New Testament, 138,000

00:27:10.380 Greek words.

00:27:12.040 The beauty of the Greek New

00:27:13.200 Testament is it was written in a

00:27:15.240 common tongue, a common language,

00:27:17.160 a rather elemental Greek language

00:27:19.180 that, guess what, could be

00:27:20.860 understood, appreciated,

00:27:23.480 assimilated by the entire world.

00:27:25.900 These things were not hidden to us,

00:27:27.860 we hear in the epistles, but they

00:27:29.260 were revealed for all.

00:27:30.380 In fact, in Acts 4, Peter said that

00:27:32.760 you all are witnesses of the fact,

00:27:36.060 the historical fact, of the

00:27:37.420 resurrection of Jesus Christ from

00:27:39.060 the dead.

00:27:39.800 Indeed, the gospel is good news for

00:27:41.720 the whole world, not an esoteric view.

00:27:45.120 So that's a brief look at Gnosticism,

00:27:48.520 which is this idea that there is some

00:27:52.380 unattainable or ultimate secret source

00:27:56.020 of knowledge that only a special few

00:27:57.880 can gain access to.

00:28:00.180 One of the first acts of the U.S.

00:28:02.300 Congress, when this country was

00:28:03.740 merely a foundling, was the

00:28:05.580 commissioning and distribution of

00:28:07.140 Bibles.

00:28:09.360 Take a little shot at my Catholic

00:28:10.800 buddy over here.

00:28:11.560 It was actually Geneva Bible,

00:28:13.080 because they viewed that as the best

00:28:15.740 way to continue the themes of the

00:28:18.400 Protestant Reformation.

00:28:19.400 As long as the Czech Claire's in the

00:28:23.220 New Year, I can tolerate such things.

00:28:26.000 So that was one of the first acts of

00:28:27.840 the U.S. Congress, was the

00:28:29.040 commissioning of Bibles and the

00:28:30.220 distribution of them.

00:28:31.920 It was one of the main textbooks.

00:28:34.980 When children were educated,

00:28:38.100 executed, that's a Freudian slip for

00:28:40.000 what we're doing in too many of our

00:28:40.880 kids today.

00:28:42.040 But when children were educated at

00:28:44.260 the founding of the country, one of

00:28:46.100 the Bible was a primary textbook.

00:28:47.660 One of the foundational textbooks in

00:28:49.880 the 13 colonies, then the 13

00:28:51.720 states, was what's called the New

00:28:53.520 England Primer.

00:28:55.540 I mean, kids were literally taught

00:28:56.660 the alphabet in the New England

00:28:57.880 Primer with A is for Adam, whose sin

00:29:01.000 stained us all.

00:29:02.400 This is how they were taught in the

00:29:04.960 public schools.

00:29:06.940 You want to blow your mind?

00:29:09.480 Go online next commercial break or

00:29:11.920 after the show.

00:29:12.760 You're going Noah Webster's dictionary

00:29:14.460 here, aren't you?

00:29:15.260 See, we've been doing this all too

00:29:16.300 long.

00:29:16.540 It's almost like we share a brain

00:29:18.720 now, okay?

00:29:19.920 Like you even knew I was going to

00:29:20.820 take a shot at you when I mentioned

00:29:21.980 the Bible distributions probably.

00:29:23.660 You knew that was probably coming.

00:29:24.440 That's the day that ends in Y.

00:29:25.180 Yes, yeah.

00:29:25.880 And you'll get me back later, I'm

00:29:27.040 sure.

00:29:27.900 But one of the, I forgot, what was I

00:29:32.920 going to say?

00:29:33.360 Webster.

00:29:33.720 Thank you.

00:29:34.180 Noah Webster.

00:29:34.800 If you want to blow your mind, go

00:29:37.280 online and Google Noah Webster's 1828

00:29:40.320 dictionary, his very first edition, and

00:29:43.640 you can go in there and type in words

00:29:45.680 on this site that will tell you what

00:29:48.900 Noah Webster himself hand wrote in his

00:29:51.720 1828 dictionary compared to how we

00:29:55.520 define them today.

00:29:56.660 And then words that are in our everyday

00:29:58.960 language in the news that are part of

00:30:03.100 how we do public policy in America today.

00:30:05.740 We're not even in Noah Webster's 1828

00:30:10.700 dictionary.

00:30:12.960 We go into much more detail on these

00:30:15.160 worldviews and topics on our podcast.

00:30:17.900 We've got more time.

00:30:19.440 So today we kind of want to give you

00:30:20.760 practical examples of what all these

00:30:22.940 worldviews are to make it as, this

00:30:25.720 information as accessible to you as

00:30:27.720 possible.

00:30:28.440 If you want to know what Gnosticism is

00:30:30.900 in the 21st century in America, turn on

00:30:34.300 the History Channel.

00:30:37.560 I spent a good amount of time Saturday

00:30:39.640 night because LSU was just destroying

00:30:42.900 Oklahoma and there was nothing else on

00:30:44.660 waiting for the other college football

00:30:46.640 semifinal to come on.

00:30:48.780 And I probably watched about an hour and

00:30:50.880 a half of the History Channel doing

00:30:53.860 another, you want to talk about stuff

00:30:55.700 that ends and why another endless, you

00:30:59.340 know, montage of shows called Ancient

00:31:02.200 Aliens.

00:31:04.820 And do you guys know where this whole

00:31:07.700 theory really comes from?

00:31:10.280 It comes from a Swiss hotel manager

00:31:14.120 named Eric Von Donegan.

00:31:16.540 I know I used to believe in this stuff.

00:31:19.400 I used to study this stuff.

00:31:20.760 I used to be into the occult and all of

00:31:22.520 this secret origin stuff.

00:31:24.220 So I'm pretty well versed on it.

00:31:26.360 Eric Von Donegan was a Swiss hotel manager

00:31:28.960 when he wrote Chariots of the Gods 50

00:31:31.560 years ago.

00:31:32.540 And he's he is now the mastermind behind

00:31:35.940 all of the programming on the History

00:31:37.800 Channel, which says there's there's only

00:31:39.720 some very special information that only

00:31:42.800 the special few would know that aliens

00:31:45.200 came here and seeded the earth and we

00:31:47.520 come from them.

00:31:48.440 And if you're not special, then we can't

00:31:50.660 get back to that knowledge and and acquire

00:31:53.120 it all for ourselves.

00:31:54.160 That's what Gnosticism looks like in your

00:31:58.880 culture today.

00:32:01.900 Aliens are the History Channel at Christmas.

00:32:08.800 More of the Glenn Beck program here in a

00:32:10.580 moment.

00:32:12.280 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:32:18.140 It's time to get back into gold because

00:32:20.280 there's a reset coming and maybe you should

00:32:23.680 do your own homework and consider gold or

00:32:26.200 silver.

00:32:26.860 One eight six six gold line is the number

00:32:29.360 I would call.

00:32:30.320 You might want to spit yourself out of the

00:32:32.680 system.

00:32:33.180 And the way to do that is to have something

00:32:35.320 in hard gold or silver.

00:32:38.200 Now, you might think you were not able to

00:32:39.580 afford gold.

00:32:40.680 That's not true.

00:32:41.760 I asked them specifically.

00:32:43.520 And I think they're the only ones that do

00:32:44.860 this specifically to do an accumulation

00:32:47.060 special.

00:32:47.840 Now, this is not you getting in debt.

00:32:49.460 This is you doing.

00:32:50.680 It's like a layaway.

00:32:51.720 A hundred dollars a month and you send

00:32:53.880 a hundred dollars a month and they just

00:32:55.640 keep building your gold portfolio.

00:32:57.580 Nobody else does that.

00:32:59.500 Accumulation special.

00:33:00.700 Get started for as low as a hundred dollars

00:33:02.600 a month.

00:33:03.420 Please find out if gold or silver is right

00:33:05.360 for you.

00:33:06.300 Please batten down the hatches.

00:33:07.940 One eight six six gold line.

00:33:09.460 One eight six six gold line.

00:33:11.740 Get started for as little as a hundred

00:33:13.340 dollars a month.

00:33:14.680 One eight six six gold line or goldline.com.

00:33:18.040 So let's dig in, gentlemen, the crew here

00:33:31.920 from the Steve Day show.

00:33:32.820 Let's dig in a little bit more to the first

00:33:34.660 of the seven deadly worldviews known as

00:33:37.200 Gnosticism.

00:33:38.320 The idea that truth cannot be made plain,

00:33:41.900 right?

00:33:42.140 The founding father said, hey, we hold these

00:33:44.520 truths to be self-evident, that the idea that

00:33:48.000 we're created in the image of God, that our

00:33:49.900 rights come from God is so obvious.

00:33:52.120 It's as obvious as the nose on our face.

00:33:54.060 It's a self-evident truth.

00:33:55.140 Everyone knows this.

00:33:56.840 They close the Declaration of Independence by

00:33:59.860 proclaiming their intentions to the world.

00:34:02.340 They want transparency.

00:34:05.580 They want what Madison described as the governor

00:34:08.700 of the universe, God.

00:34:10.600 They want his judgment upon their actions.

00:34:14.020 Because if they're righteous, they think God

00:34:16.680 will bless it.

00:34:17.440 And if they're unrighteous, they don't have any

00:34:19.460 shot of being successful anyway.

00:34:21.400 Doesn't get more transparent than that.

00:34:23.840 John Hancock, the legend of signing his name so

00:34:27.200 large that even Mad King George would be able

00:34:30.200 to read it.

00:34:32.340 That's transparency.

00:34:34.460 They walked out of the Continental Congress

00:34:37.020 and just a plain woman walks up to Ben Franklin

00:34:39.540 and says, hey, what kind of government do you

00:34:40.940 all give us?

00:34:41.340 And he looks at her and says, maybe the greatest

00:34:44.120 thinker in early American history, just walking

00:34:46.740 down the street and says to her, a republic, if

00:34:49.980 you can keep it.

00:34:51.760 This was to be made plain.

00:34:53.200 They wrote letters written for people with an

00:34:57.000 eighth grade education at the time, because that

00:34:59.020 was the age either you had to learn a trade, a

00:35:00.820 skill, daddy's business, or you went off to

00:35:03.000 college.

00:35:03.380 It's why so many of your founding fathers

00:35:05.000 graduated from Ivy League schools at 16.

00:35:08.000 They wrote this for people.

00:35:09.160 They wrote those Federalist letters.

00:35:11.100 They wrote them for people with an eighth grade

00:35:13.560 education.

00:35:15.940 This was to be made plain to everybody.

00:35:18.060 They gave us a free press so the truth could be

00:35:20.400 made plain.

00:35:20.920 They gave us free speech so that we could plainly

00:35:23.780 speak the truth.

00:35:25.020 They commissioned and distributed Bibles so that

00:35:28.980 you could know the God where your rights come from.

00:35:32.580 Now contrast that with we all came from these

00:35:42.580 aliens we can't name.

00:35:43.880 We don't know.

00:35:44.540 Eric Von Donegan even says his book is made up of 268

00:35:48.680 questions, and he's just asking questions.

00:35:51.480 And when you point out that his archaeology and

00:35:53.900 scientific research is bunk, well, I mean, I'm not

00:35:57.280 saying it's true.

00:35:58.560 I'm just asking questions.

00:36:00.380 You know, there's a famous figure in history that

00:36:03.520 used that exact tactic to introduce Gnosticism to

00:36:07.780 this world.

00:36:08.920 And the serpent was craftier than all the other

00:36:12.200 creatures in the garden, and he approaches Eve with a

00:36:16.100 question.

00:36:17.760 Did God really say?

00:36:22.020 Are you sure?

00:36:23.940 Are you sure that's male?

00:36:26.380 Are you positive that's a female?

00:36:28.200 Are you sure?

00:36:30.460 Well, I mean, we all know all truth is, you know,

00:36:32.460 everything's relative, which, of course, is a

00:36:34.120 completely contradictory statement because that is

00:36:35.960 an absolute.

00:36:36.540 So there's already one thing that's not relative, but

00:36:38.340 we know that anyway, right?

00:36:40.000 And this, gentlemen, this is the mustard seed, if I

00:36:44.140 could use that expression this time of year.

00:36:45.920 This is the mustard seed that has become the

00:36:48.940 blooming onion that is the layers of our culture

00:36:51.900 today, Todd.

00:36:53.620 Well, and it's so important to, and Steve will tell

00:36:57.180 you that there's a reason why we're going through

00:37:00.320 these in the order we go through and starting with

00:37:02.980 Gnosticism, because this is ultimately about that

00:37:07.180 God-killing question.

00:37:08.520 We laugh at the Van Donagans.

00:37:10.540 It's easy to joke about it, but we've done that at

00:37:13.480 our own peril.

00:37:15.140 Now, I joke about it now, but I used to take it

00:37:16.760 seriously.

00:37:17.860 And joking about it now is because they count on

00:37:20.380 that on some level because they're above us and we

00:37:23.520 just can't hope to understand.

00:37:25.360 We need to appreciate them for what they believe at

00:37:29.060 their level and take it seriously, because that's the

00:37:32.160 very, because we haven't taken it seriously.

00:37:34.300 It's the very reason we're talking about what an

00:37:36.580 innie and what an outie is right now.

00:37:38.240 It's absurd that we've gotten to that place, but

00:37:40.500 we, they've taken them, look at Tom Cruise and what

00:37:43.340 he believed in that intro about stopping at a

00:37:45.520 track.

00:37:45.880 They believe it.

00:37:46.840 Only because I'm a Scientologist do I know what

00:37:49.160 to do.

00:37:49.780 No one else could know what to do unless they have

00:37:51.980 the special knowledge that I have been special

00:37:54.140 enough to acquire.

00:37:54.740 But look how far that mindset has gotten to

00:37:57.000 deconstructing our culture because they're deadly

00:37:58.800 serious about it and they are God killers at their

00:38:01.580 heart.

00:38:01.880 Yes, and just very briefly, I mean, there are

00:38:05.120 elements of every single one of these deadly

00:38:07.700 worldviews found in the next worldview that we are

00:38:11.140 going to look at every, you know, leading up into

00:38:13.760 into the last one.

00:38:14.860 And there's a reason, as Todd said, why this is the

00:38:17.280 first.

00:38:17.660 It is foundational to every single other deadly

00:38:20.180 worldview.

00:38:21.320 Yes, we're going to reject thousands of years of

00:38:23.480 human history because we have a new special

00:38:25.840 knowledge about what gender is, about what sexuality

00:38:28.600 actually is.

00:38:29.460 And by the way, we're the people we've been waiting

00:38:31.840 for because we have the special knowledge.

00:38:34.180 Very well said.

00:38:34.820 More of the Glenn Beck program here next.

00:38:48.720 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:38:51.140 We continue our countdown of the seven deadly worldviews

00:41:16.200 being our new normal.

00:41:18.160 We're going to teach you some philosophy and history today.

00:41:21.260 So we already talked about the very first deadly worldview, this idea that

00:41:25.080 there's only special knowledge for a special few, that the truth is not really

00:41:30.420 out there, that you have to be on a certain road to go through certain

00:41:34.640 gatekeepers in order to acquire it.

00:41:37.340 It's exclusive, not in the way that things that contradict each other cannot be

00:41:42.600 mutually true, but exclusive only to select company.

00:41:46.480 And as Pearl Jam once sang on the Vitalogy album, it's not for you.

00:41:52.460 Okay?

00:41:53.380 Now, we come to the second.

00:41:55.180 And this is the one that trips us up as a species.

00:41:59.360 This is where, when faced with fallacy and error, when faced with something we know just

00:42:05.160 doesn't, something about that doesn't seem right.

00:42:08.240 So how do we react to it?

00:42:11.380 Because if we react wrong to that which is wrong, then two wrongs, as my mama taught me

00:42:17.940 growing up, do not make a right.

00:42:20.540 Let's discuss, with the help of our friend, Dr. Jeremiah Johnston from Houston Baptist

00:42:25.000 University and the Christian Thinkers Institute, let's discuss legalism.

00:42:43.180 I think doing the best that I can based on what I understand that to be for myself.

00:42:54.020 Do you believe that if you please God, then you will go to heaven?

00:42:59.440 Yes.

00:43:00.600 When we talk about legalism, the first thing that I want our viewers to appreciate is the

00:43:04.740 fact that legalism, at its essence, is as bad as liberalism.

00:43:08.800 They both are terrible as it relates to faith, because it is faith or grace plus something else.

00:43:15.380 And there's a fourth point about grace, and that is that it can be resistant.

00:43:22.200 If we don't build our lives around these seven principles, then we're going to have these

00:43:28.620 root problems, we'll have surface wrong attitudes and surface problems, and our life will be

00:43:34.540 one continuous failure.

00:43:37.380 Ultimately, with legalism, you establish your own righteousness, your own standing before

00:43:42.240 God by simply coming up with your own man-made religious system, which is a list of rules

00:43:48.420 that you live by, that you abide by, and that you indeed judge your neighbors through.

00:43:53.300 Was it a fermented wine that Jesus drank or that he made?

00:43:56.580 Remember when we went to the wedding feast?

00:43:59.180 First miracle.

00:44:00.320 It was a big thing about Dungeons and Dragons, and people actually got absorbed in this stuff.

00:44:04.740 They took on those roles, and they began doing horrible things.

00:44:08.760 It was almost like an invitation to demonic possession.

00:44:11.520 Ariel, I cannot let this dance happen.

00:44:15.700 Wren McCormick made a lot of people stop and think.

00:44:18.420 I object to that kind of music, and I think you know why.

00:44:21.120 Because people fornicate to it.

00:44:22.960 I never said that.

00:44:23.780 That's what you told the church board.

00:44:25.220 That was not meant for your ears.

00:44:26.880 It makes you better than other people.

00:44:29.240 You don't do certain things, so you are a better example of Christ than others.

00:44:33.900 God hates Australia, land of the sodomite damned.

00:44:38.740 We boil Christianity down to a list of rules, do's and don'ts, and this is not at all the

00:44:44.920 essence of the Christian faith.

00:44:46.960 Christianity is the beauty that we are not perfect, we are forgiven.

00:44:52.180 There is no place for legalism.

00:44:54.040 In fact, Jesus' toughest words were reserved for the righteous, legalistic Pharisees, those

00:45:00.460 that thought they had no need of a Savior, and those that were quick to judge and quick

00:45:05.300 to speak up and condemn the world around them.

00:45:07.900 And I think it's interesting and notable that in almost every place we see the historical

00:45:12.820 Jesus teach in the Gospels, and keep in mind, over 30 times we hear that large crowds traveled

00:45:18.220 with Jesus, there was always a Pharisee in the crowd.

00:45:21.920 I think of the scene in Matthew 22, 37, where the nomikos, the professor, the expert in the

00:45:27.000 law, wants to ask Jesus, what is the greatest commandment?

00:45:29.980 And that Pharisee is trying to trap him, and Jesus quotes the Shaman, said, we should love

00:45:33.760 the God with our heart, soul, and mind.

00:45:36.840 So the beauty of the Christian faith is that it meets us exactly where we're at, and it

00:45:41.660 saves us right where we're at.

00:45:43.880 It saves us out of the unimaginable experiences.

00:45:46.740 We don't have to do performance because we trust in Christ's performance on our behalf.

00:45:50.920 So here's how this plays out.

00:45:56.580 Here's how legalism is playing out in our culture today.

00:45:59.560 And it's how we helped set the stage for the rest of the other five deadly worldviews that

00:46:05.060 we're going to talk about here later in the program.

00:46:07.220 And it's how we respond to error and fallacy.

00:46:13.680 Do we respond with intuition, opinion?

00:46:20.500 You know, right now in the American right, there's a big tactical debate that's taking

00:46:27.700 place.

00:46:29.540 And the tactical debate comes down to, well, there's two tactical debates.

00:46:33.820 There's one that I think is an edifying conversation that is long overdue that, you know, I've been

00:46:40.200 trying to have that conversation throughout the course of my entire career in conservative

00:46:45.000 media, starting from when I started at WHO radio.

00:46:48.300 Ronald Reagan was the first sports director there here in Des Moines, Iowa, where I live.

00:46:53.580 Okay.

00:46:54.160 This conversation of what ultimately is the purpose of the conservative movement.

00:46:58.980 And that has played out.

00:47:01.100 If you've followed the David French, Saurabh Amari debate throughout the course of this

00:47:04.960 year, that that's been the debate that they're having is, are we here to manage decay?

00:47:10.660 Are we here to get, you know, conscience clauses and exemptions to drag queen storytime hour?

00:47:17.180 Or are we here to defeat it?

00:47:19.000 Which is it?

00:47:20.160 I think that's a worthwhile debate.

00:47:22.520 The other, because here's the thing you, we only get to be better as a movement by having

00:47:28.120 that debate.

00:47:29.060 We don't, you may disagree vehemently, but it doesn't make you worse at being a conservative,

00:47:34.420 meaning you're trying to conserve.

00:47:36.220 That's the root word of a word is always what a word means.

00:47:39.600 So if you're a conservative, that means you're trying to conserve that which has proven to

00:47:44.400 be true and beautiful for the human condition for this and future generations.

00:47:48.500 That's what you're, that's why you're a conservative.

00:47:50.900 You're trying to conserve those things.

00:47:51.980 So the, the French Omari debate, regardless of which side of it you're on or how frustrated

00:47:57.280 you are with the other side of it, you only, we only get better as a movement because that's

00:48:02.960 the right debate to have, meaning it's edifying.

00:48:05.820 It elevates the, the purposes and principles we're supposedly all here for.

00:48:10.020 Does that make sense?

00:48:10.480 This other debate, I don't believe does that and I think it's destructive and it's, and

00:48:17.660 it really comes down to how much rot gut and Saul Alinsky-esque tactics that the left has

00:48:25.940 used against us, right out of a book dedicated to Satan, literally, how many of those should

00:48:32.500 we adopt in order to fight fire with fire?

00:48:34.820 How much reprobate should we be?

00:48:39.780 How low should we go?

00:48:43.480 And what ends up happening for those of us that say, I'm not, I'm not watering down my

00:48:51.440 beliefs at all.

00:48:53.700 Um, what is the point of that?

00:48:56.040 What is, what is, what is, what is the point of giving cultural Marxist 50, pick a percentage,

00:49:02.680 60, 70, 80, 40, pick a number, pick a number above 10.

00:49:07.040 What is the point of giving them that?

00:49:09.980 And then fighting them.

00:49:11.460 Um, um, um, it's a losing battle.

00:49:13.680 These people hate this movement hates America.

00:49:16.200 It hates Western civilization.

00:49:18.040 It's fine with tearing all of this down.

00:49:20.200 It's fine with all of the, the, the, the venom that we could spew like a water hose, a fire

00:49:26.780 hose all throughout the culture.

00:49:27.900 It doesn't care.

00:49:29.020 It doesn't care if you fight their boycott with a boycott and their cancel with a cancel.

00:49:33.580 We're just, you know, zero times zero is zero.

00:49:36.100 We're just going to spread hate to fight hate.

00:49:38.480 I'm not doing any of that.

00:49:41.200 Well, then that means you're not really a conservative.

00:49:44.380 You're not really a Christian, Steve.

00:49:47.980 If you won't conform to my fallacy in response to a fallacy, then you're not really a blank.

00:49:58.720 That's what legalism does.

00:50:01.980 I get those emails all of the time.

00:50:05.280 Now, thankfully I grew up in a home where I didn't have the best dad, you know, and on

00:50:09.440 a given day there in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shout out to wood AM.

00:50:12.100 I saw you guys tweeted at me earlier today.

00:50:13.940 I listened to that station growing up.

00:50:15.160 So it's a little surreal for me.

00:50:17.240 But you know, on a given day coming home from Jackson Park, junior high or Rogers high school,

00:50:21.300 man, I didn't know if we were going to Cedar point, Disney world or get to get beat.

00:50:25.720 Because your guess was as good as mine.

00:50:28.600 When you grow up like that, you learn not to need a lot of affirmation from other people.

00:50:34.140 So thankfully, I don't.

00:50:36.360 You can flood my compartment with all of your player hate.

00:50:39.760 Frankly, I feed off of it.

00:50:40.840 It just convinces me I'm doing the right thing.

00:50:42.720 So I'll do it even more.

00:50:44.220 All right.

00:50:44.400 But that's this notion that you've got to dress like me or look like me, speak like me, think

00:50:51.420 exactly like me in order to have access to this larger and supposedly unifying truth, meaning

00:51:02.220 people from disparate beliefs, groups, languages, customs come together around this shared belief.

00:51:09.300 Not that I have to go through your accessorizing in order to plug into it.

00:51:17.380 Todd and Aaron, I'm going to let you guys respond to that here in a moment on the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:25.220 All right.

00:51:25.740 I want to tell you what I'm getting my wife for Christmas because she sent me an email.

00:51:29.460 And if you don't believe what I say is true, when I tell you about the commercials, ask my

00:51:34.640 wife about all of the stuff that we use that you hear me talk about.

00:51:38.320 And with X chair, I have an X chair.

00:51:40.600 I have one in the studio.

00:51:41.580 I have one in my office.

00:51:42.460 And my wife sent me an email and said, I want an X chair for Christmas.

00:51:46.740 And so what happened?

00:51:48.060 I'm laying my head down on my pillow at night and she says, you know, they're a hundred dollars

00:51:53.700 off.

00:51:54.000 I'm like, I know, honey, I read the commercials every day.

00:51:57.220 So don't believe me?

00:51:58.780 My wife does the best chair I've ever sat in.

00:52:01.860 And she sits in my office chair as well.

00:52:04.320 She knows right now you'll save a hundred bucks off the model of your choice.

00:52:08.620 Plus, if you use the code X wheels, you're going to receive a free upgrade to the X wheel

00:52:13.240 blade caster.

00:52:14.560 High performance wheels for your chair.

00:52:16.560 It's X chair Beck dot com.

00:52:18.300 That's X chair Beck dot com.

00:52:20.260 Or call one eight four four four X chair.

00:52:22.900 X chair Beck dot com.

00:52:24.520 All right.

00:52:32.720 Back here on the Glenn Beck program.

00:52:34.060 We're the crew from the Steve Day show.

00:52:35.460 Noon to two Eastern right after Glenn Beck on Blaze TV radio and podcast.

00:52:39.800 You can follow us on Twitter at Steve Day's show.

00:52:43.400 That's D E A C E.

00:52:45.060 For those of you listening around the country on radio that have never heard of us before

00:52:48.240 or don't know how to spell the name or pronounce it.

00:52:51.100 I could be spelling it and pronouncing it wrong for all I know.

00:52:53.560 It's just it could be Dece.

00:52:55.600 I was just told it was Dece.

00:52:56.820 Other members of the family pronounce it Dece.

00:52:58.160 So there's a Gnostic mystery for you as well.

00:53:01.560 All right.

00:53:01.900 Let's talk legalism, though, before we go to the next seven next of our seven deadly

00:53:05.720 worldviews.

00:53:06.240 Gentlemen, your thoughts on how we watch this play out today where we feel and almost adjust

00:53:13.040 and you're seeing this more, too, with more of, you know, the fake news sites on the right,

00:53:19.460 almost like it like we're kind of proud now to replace your lie with a lie of our own

00:53:26.260 making.

00:53:26.720 That's really what legalism is.

00:53:28.860 Yeah.

00:53:29.640 And well, and it's only getting exacerbated by social media and how quickly we go after

00:53:37.020 one another for any breach.

00:53:40.620 But you saw in the movie Footloose how it usually comes across as something stern like that.

00:53:47.300 And we're talking about fornication, but it's more it's rightly and easily mocked when you

00:53:52.320 talk about the church lady.

00:53:54.540 That's really what it is.

00:53:55.660 This is really Spinal Tap.

00:53:56.900 Oz goes up to 11.

00:53:58.380 That's that's legalism right there.

00:54:01.120 And it's not.

00:54:02.440 And you should and you should laugh at that.

00:54:04.320 But then you should have the appropriate answer.

00:54:05.960 And the answer to that is what it should look like, what it should feel like.

00:54:10.280 Steve often uses a word.

00:54:11.380 What does the word all mean?

00:54:12.680 Oh, it actually means all that the gospel is for everybody.

00:54:16.600 And if you don't have somebody in your parish who looks and feels a little bit more along

00:54:21.340 the lines of locusts and wild honey, and that should make you a little uncomfortable.

00:54:25.140 That's a good thing.

00:54:26.380 Our churches are too homogeneous.

00:54:28.600 Steve has talked about that a lot on the show on a regular basis.

00:54:31.320 That look and feel of authenticity of John the Baptist is a sign that you are not part of a legalistic community.

00:54:37.880 Yeah, to me, I think you can tell that you can grade a movement's integrity by the way it handled its contrarians.

00:54:44.400 Yes.

00:54:44.720 Right.

00:54:45.460 You know, and it's OK.

00:54:47.640 We need to tolerate contrarianism within the conservative movement more often as well.

00:54:51.780 Not everybody has to have the same talking point, the same song sheet, talk about the exact same topics and have the same pro team GOP spin, you know, and this idea.

00:55:01.960 That's what that's why I love working here at the blaze.

00:55:04.260 There aren't, frankly, too many places you could work in conservative media and do what we do if we're just going to be brutally honest about that.

00:55:11.000 And that doesn't mean your contrarians are always right.

00:55:13.560 I'm wrong quite a bit.

00:55:15.040 All right.

00:55:15.400 I'm a I'm a natural contrarian, but at least listen to your contrarian.

00:55:20.140 And several years ago, when I first started getting serious about my faith, I'd been serious about politics for many years before.

00:55:26.020 But when I first started getting serious about my faith, one of my listeners sent me a CD.

00:55:30.880 We were still listening to those back then, Aaron, of John MacArthur.

00:55:33.720 Fifty reasons why a Christian should not be involved in politics.

00:55:37.240 And I'm like, I'm not listening to this.

00:55:38.500 This is garbage.

00:55:39.080 And then I realized, you know, if I don't listen to this and let this guy who's been doing this a lot longer than me challenge me, am I just as bad as exactly the the the the kind of non-critical, indoctrinated leftist thinker that I'm trying to impact?

00:55:51.820 Yes, is the answer.

00:55:52.840 So I listened to that and I found about 48 of his reasons I could easily debunk.

00:55:58.580 But there were a couple of that were very difficult for me to get around.

00:56:01.780 And and I iron sharpened iron and it made me better at what I'm doing today because I let that test me.

00:56:10.100 And I think it's OK for us to be tested.

00:56:13.160 Not everything has to come out of the same echo chamber all of the time, Aaron.

00:56:16.440 Yes. And there's a reason why Dr. Jeremiah Johnson in the intro to legalism said that it's almost as as bad as liberalism.

00:56:24.480 And I think you can go a couple of different ways there, whether it's, you know, liberalism politically or especially theologically, because it's very different.

00:56:32.620 It's it's not really. It really isn't.

00:56:34.680 It's just two sides of the same coin at the end of the day.

00:56:38.140 And that's what we deal with every single day.

00:56:40.540 It isn't always the church lady.

00:56:42.060 It is. It isn't always footloose either.

00:56:44.980 It is faith plus something else means you get access.

00:56:49.020 You get a seat at the table to the special club.

00:56:51.360 And again, as I mentioned briefly before the end of the last hour, every single one of these deadly worldviews has an element of the previous deadly worldview.

00:56:59.180 How do you know what is the plus after faith?

00:57:02.960 Well, you've got to have a special knowledge.

00:57:04.500 So that's that, you know, again, all of these things are related.

00:57:07.640 But again, legalism can often take the, you know, look like something like you often point out when when somebody tries to disagree with you.

00:57:16.700 But I caucused for fill in the blank.

00:57:18.840 Right.

00:57:19.120 On that day, many will come to me saying, Lord, Lord, I caucused in the name of or I caucused for, you know, fill in the blank with your favorite politician.

00:57:26.980 Right.

00:57:27.600 And they'll say, depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.

00:57:30.600 I never knew you.

00:57:31.220 It's people people use to get out of jail.

00:57:33.120 I did this.

00:57:34.600 Can't I be a part of your group?

00:57:35.900 Why don't you agree with my group on on things like this?

00:57:38.920 What's either politically or theologically?

00:57:41.040 People use this faith plus something else to get out of jail free.

00:57:45.040 Yeah, I get that.

00:57:46.020 I still get that.

00:57:47.060 So many disagrees with my take on the politics of the day.

00:57:49.940 And people will email me.

00:57:52.400 Well, I voted for Ted Cruz.

00:57:54.020 For those of you that don't know, I worked for the Ted Cruz presidential campaign in 2016.

00:57:58.380 Well, I voted for Ted Cruz in the primary.

00:58:00.660 I'm like, OK.

00:58:04.160 What is that supposed to mean to me?

00:58:05.940 Is that so I automatically.

00:58:08.300 So if you didn't, then if you voted for Rubio, then I'm to assume that you're a ne'er-do-well.

00:58:13.800 You're from Lake Wobegon.

00:58:15.360 If you voted for John Kasich.

00:58:16.820 OK, that part is probably true.

00:58:18.540 Well, let's just be honest about that.

00:58:20.100 All right.

00:58:21.400 Little legalism never hurt anybody, did it?

00:58:26.540 But I mean, but the assumption that I hey, hey, I got the Ovaltine secret Dakota ring.

00:58:33.180 Right.

00:58:33.400 And then, you know, Rafi, because all it says is by more Ovaltine.

00:58:39.500 OK, I mean, just there's that somehow we have in the club.

00:58:43.760 I'm with you.

00:58:44.540 You know what?

00:58:45.100 And so that's why you should take my opinion more seriously.

00:58:47.500 I should take your opinion more seriously if it's a serious opinion, regardless of who

00:58:52.800 you are, how many Twitter followers you do or don't have or, you know, how many you have

00:58:57.720 the same God given rights that I do just because there's a microphone in front of my face and

00:59:01.960 not in front of yours.

00:59:03.360 And if you voted for the same person I did or you didn't, none of that should be relevant,

00:59:08.020 Aaron.

00:59:08.140 But we use these all of the time because we want to, like, belong to a club.

00:59:12.980 Yes.

00:59:13.360 And and I think there's this needs to be brought up in the conversation of legalism as well,

00:59:18.560 specifically theologically for for those of us who go to legalism is not your if you

00:59:24.640 have a conviction that you don't want to dance to the music that they're talking about in

00:59:27.900 footloose.

00:59:28.520 Yeah.

00:59:28.700 By all means, follow that.

00:59:29.680 If you think twerking is bad, that's not legalism.

00:59:31.440 Well, yeah.

00:59:32.180 But conviction, foisting your own convictions upon others, if it's not explicitly stated

00:59:37.620 in the Bible or your, you know, whatever you use as a we use that as a framework, obviously,

00:59:42.760 for our faith, you know, that's that's something completely different.

00:59:46.240 So I think that's valuable.

00:59:47.160 Yeah.

00:59:47.300 If you've got a real convert conviction that twerking is bad for culture, that's not legalism.

00:59:51.480 Be more specific.

00:59:52.300 Defending traditional marriage.

00:59:53.920 That's not legalism.

00:59:54.740 That's legalism.

00:59:55.220 Right.

00:59:55.520 Saying that you don't love God as much as I do if you don't hate twerking as much as

00:59:58.760 I do.

00:59:59.780 That's what legalism is.

01:00:01.680 OK.

01:00:02.340 All right.

01:00:02.520 We'll come back.

01:00:03.100 Our next of our seven deadly worldviews coming up right after this year on the Glenn Beck

01:00:06.480 program.

01:00:06.940 Stay tuned.

01:00:17.760 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:00:20.080 If you experience pain on a daily basis, I know exactly how you feel.

01:00:24.880 It can be debilitating.

01:00:26.460 It can control your life.

01:00:28.120 The aches are easy to understand when it really hurts to do the basic chores emotionally.

01:00:33.360 The effects of pain can be just as dramatic.

01:00:35.660 I have spoken to so many people in this audience that have started to take relief factor.

01:00:39.620 The change emotionally is as dramatic as the physical relief, maybe even more.

01:00:44.440 As you might know, Tanya and I started taking relief factor several months ago.

01:00:47.400 After about 10 days, subtle changes started to become significant.

01:00:50.780 And I've been able to stop taking all prescription pain medications, all pain medications entirely,

01:00:55.860 and stop the terrible side effects of those awful drugs.

01:00:59.160 Many on my team here at The Blaze are faithful takers of the 100% drug-free relief factor.

01:01:04.620 And we have had great success in taking our lives back.

01:01:07.700 Try it.

01:01:08.200 Get a three-week quick start package for only $19.95.

01:01:11.360 Take it as directed.

01:01:12.860 That's less than a dollar per day.

01:01:14.460 And if it works on you like it has with me, you're going to get your life back.

01:01:18.760 Relieffactor.com.

01:01:31.540 All right.

01:01:31.960 Back here on the Glenn Beck program, we are the crew from The Steve Day Show,

01:01:34.760 noon to 2 Eastern, right after Glenn Beck here on Blaze TV radio and podcast.

01:01:38.640 I'm Steve Day's Aaron McIntyre totters in here with me as well.

01:01:51.960 Look us up and like us on Facebook.

01:01:53.720 If you have any questions about what we're talking about here today with these seven deadly worldviews

01:01:57.940 that are responsible for the brink of cultural extinction that a lot of us feel we're on right now,

01:02:05.260 feel free to email me, steve at stevedace.com.

01:02:09.480 And we're talking about these worldviews because we're watching them play out in our headlines every day.

01:02:15.480 Our good buddy Josh Hammer over at the Daily Wire, I saw him tweet out a couple of days ago.

01:02:20.900 I don't know if you two saw this.

01:02:22.400 He said something along the lines.

01:02:23.620 It's getting really difficult for him as a conservative Jew.

01:02:27.480 It's getting difficult for him to tell the difference between the social justice aims of reform Judaism and the Democratic Party platform.

01:02:34.300 Because there isn't a difference because that's their worldview.

01:02:38.180 The Democratic Party platform is the manifestation of worldviews.

01:02:45.760 A lot of them, the worldviews we're talking about today, just as a lot of people with more of an orthodox kind of faith,

01:02:53.340 meaning they believe more in the traditional viewpoints.

01:02:55.460 You look at the Republican Party platform.

01:02:57.080 That's why it looks like that, because we can't escape our worldview.

01:03:02.920 As we're talking about the seven that have been unleashed on America in this postmodern age.

01:03:08.460 Now, the first two set the stage for the five to come.

01:03:12.400 We're going to get to those five next with number three, because now that we have deconstructed God,

01:03:18.700 now that we've pulled a Nietzsche and declared God is dead and we have killed him.

01:03:23.780 Now that we have deconstructed the God that our rights come from,

01:03:27.380 well, Blaise Pascal is still correct that something has to fill that void in our culture's heart.

01:03:33.580 Something nature abhors a vacuum.

01:03:35.800 Something will step forward to take the one true God's place.

01:03:40.140 And it begins with our third worldview, dualism.

01:03:48.700 The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.

01:03:55.760 And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he shall have power.

01:03:59.560 The Dark Lord knows no.

01:04:06.520 For neither can live while the other survives.

01:04:10.900 The Emperor has been expecting you.

01:04:14.640 I know, Father.

01:04:15.940 So, you have accepted the truth.

01:04:21.000 I've accepted the truth that you were once Anakin Skywalker, my father.

01:04:24.860 That name no longer has any meaning for me.

01:04:28.660 It is the name of your true self.

01:04:30.540 You've only forgotten.

01:04:32.040 I know there is good in you.

01:04:34.320 The Emperor hasn't driven it from you fully.

01:04:37.020 Search your feelings, Father.

01:04:39.140 You can't do this.

01:04:40.280 I feel the conflict within you.

01:04:42.240 Let go of your hate.

01:04:43.040 It is too late for me, son.

01:04:47.460 Dualism goes back to Plato, the great classical thinker, and even Neoplatonism, which actually

01:04:53.840 underlays much of what we heard about and learned about in Gnosticism.

01:04:57.900 And it really divides reality into two levels or two compartments, if you will.

01:05:02.040 Heaven above, which is light.

01:05:03.740 It's beautiful.

01:05:04.660 It's perfect.

01:05:05.460 And this carbon copy below that is quite bright.

01:05:07.960 It is imperfect.

01:05:08.880 It is dark, murky world.

01:05:10.780 This holy river came from the river in heaven that we call the Milky Way.

01:05:17.740 They say that Milky Way actually is a reflection that you see in those waters which are still

01:05:23.220 beyond.

01:05:23.840 We have many gods.

01:05:25.420 In the trees, there is God.

01:05:27.280 In the river, there is God.

01:05:29.100 Even underneath the earth, there is God, the goddess of earth.

01:05:31.840 But those gods are not like the critical God, because they are still traveling in the cycle

01:05:39.800 of birth and death.

01:05:41.140 Out of this arises transcendentalism.

01:05:44.180 What is imminent or preeminent?

01:05:46.420 Is God transcendent?

01:05:47.780 Is God imminent?

01:05:48.840 This is the big question of dualism.

01:05:50.740 Is God something we can attain to?

01:05:53.060 Is it in some perfect sphere?

01:05:54.680 Or is he down here in the murky, imminent world?

01:05:56.920 Well, the beauty of the Christian faith is God is both.

01:06:00.440 God is imminent and God is transcendent.

01:06:03.440 We don't have access to him as if he was a scientific specimen, but he is imminent.

01:06:09.560 He is present in our life, and he is indeed transcendent.

01:06:13.900 He created the world.

01:06:14.900 He sustains the world, Colossians tells us, in his very hand.

01:06:18.680 And so I think it's very important that we understand the nature of God as presented

01:06:23.960 in the Judeo-Christian motif that presents God as both transcendent and imminent.

01:06:30.060 So you see dualism in Aaron's montage there.

01:06:33.940 You saw and heard clips from Harry Potter.

01:06:36.980 You saw and heard clips from Star Wars.

01:06:41.060 If you remember the old George Burns, some of you that are in the older generation remember

01:06:44.860 the old George Burns, Oh God, You Devil Movies.

01:06:47.280 The classic, you know, Jiminy Cricket, angel on one shoulder, devil on the other.

01:06:53.360 It presents itself one of two ways, that either evil is just as powerful as good,

01:06:59.140 that the devil is just as powerful as God, for example.

01:07:01.940 And then they are each vying for equally, with an equal amount of power and ability and

01:07:07.980 access to you and I's affections.

01:07:10.460 Another way that it presents itself is it has a tendency to take the divine and just place

01:07:16.640 it into the circle of life, we'll call it.

01:07:20.500 How's that?

01:07:20.980 That's a song we all know if you grew up in our era, right?

01:07:24.580 Okay.

01:07:25.120 And that, by the way, the live action version of that this year, I thought was fantastic

01:07:28.580 of the Lion King.

01:07:29.440 But basically it takes the divine and brings it down to our level or us up to his, depending

01:07:35.540 on the way you want to look at it, Mr. Babel, and puts us all in this circle of life so

01:07:40.560 that essentially there's what we would call oneness, or this idea that there's not really

01:07:49.140 mutually exclusive truth out there, that things that are totally contradictory can both be true.

01:07:57.520 And really, the only bad thing there is in this point of view is to believe that there

01:08:05.320 actually is exclusive truth out there.

01:08:08.180 Now, of course, those that believe in this love exclusive truth when it comes to gravity.

01:08:17.020 Right?

01:08:18.420 I mean, they're not standing at the top of a building.

01:08:20.660 And, you know, the leftists are telling us, well, you know, I'm not sure Jesus ever lived

01:08:27.760 when they're writing those columns for Salon this time of year, or they're writing for

01:08:31.560 Vox this time of year.

01:08:32.900 And if you did, he was really just a social justice warrior, Che Guevara in Jewish rabbi

01:08:38.660 first century Palestinian garb.

01:08:40.440 Right?

01:08:40.840 Okay.

01:08:42.300 I noticed, though, that they're totally fine with using their quote unquote oneness to water

01:08:48.460 down what you believe and the beliefs they don't like.

01:08:52.360 But if you were to tell them, you know, I thought about it, I prayed about it for a while,

01:08:56.320 and I don't really think gravity is really exclusive.

01:08:59.400 So I'm going to invite you to jump out of this plane while it's in the air.

01:09:04.460 Oddly enough, weird as it may be, they're suddenly going to find they're not only enamored,

01:09:11.920 but enthralled even by the notion of rather exclusive truth that doesn't just get stirred

01:09:19.140 up, Todd, in the witch's brew of blah, meh, that they prefer.

01:09:24.660 Well, the reason they get pushed to that point, though, their hubris in separating into categories,

01:09:31.100 tribalism, if you will, and that's a very topical world these days.

01:09:35.440 Much earlier in the game doesn't allow for, Steve talks about hypocrisy, and rightly so,

01:09:40.040 but early in the game as a Christian, you do need to get comfortable with paradox.

01:09:44.680 And the only way to do that is realize God's God, and you're not.

01:09:47.920 Doesn't mean stop asking smart questions.

01:09:50.540 But I'm talking about what arguably is the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job,

01:09:55.520 and there at the end, after this very long conversation that is very much platonic in many respects.

01:10:01.960 But what does God finally, what bond does he drop?

01:10:04.460 To sum it up, to quote the great prophet, The Rock, shut your hole and know your role.

01:10:10.360 All right, as the Stephen Curtis Chapman song says, God is God, you are not.

01:10:15.600 So I will entertain your questions for a while, but ultimately there has to be an authority.

01:10:20.400 Don't you do this with your own children?

01:10:22.740 Right?

01:10:23.180 Amy and I entertain our children's challenges to a point, but then ultimately there is an authority

01:10:28.760 in the home, and they're not you.

01:10:31.440 And so this is why I've said to our children from the time that they could communicate with me.

01:10:35.240 I let this go on for a while.

01:10:36.980 The moment it becomes disrespectful or disobedient, I look at them and say, who am I?

01:10:42.900 You're dead.

01:10:44.100 Who are you?

01:10:46.340 Not dead.

01:10:47.240 Yep.

01:10:48.300 Ultimately, that ultimately is the answer.

01:10:51.340 And if you understand paradox, you can get comfortable there.

01:10:55.360 If you don't, you never will.

01:10:57.280 You need to have to answer everything.

01:10:58.960 The more I grow in my faith, the more mind-scrambling questions I have, and that's a fantastic thing.

01:11:05.760 Right.

01:11:06.220 Are we seeking answers because we want a better idea of who the God is and whose image we're

01:11:13.680 all made, or because we want to replace him?

01:11:16.960 Dualism wants to replace him.

01:11:21.280 That's the difference between healthy skepticism and postmodernism.

01:11:27.340 We'll come back.

01:11:28.420 Our next deadly worldview as we continue here today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:11:32.640 Next.

01:11:32.940 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:11:41.100 Eleven student groups, including the Harvard College Democrats, signed a petition accusing

01:11:45.760 their school paper of showing cultural insensitivity for contacting ICE for a comment after a protest

01:11:51.960 against the agency on campus.

01:11:53.640 That's it.

01:11:54.040 They just reached out for a comment.

01:11:55.380 Thankfully, there is something we can do about the madness and the destruction of our civilization

01:11:59.740 by these woke activists.

01:12:00.840 It's as simple as the service you use every day.

01:12:03.440 Switch your mobile carrier to Patriot Mobile.

01:12:06.060 Patriot Mobile is the only cellular service that donates a portion of your monthly bill

01:12:10.980 to organizations fighting against things like this.

01:12:14.080 Right now, Patriot Mobile is bringing back their buy one line, get one line free for six months

01:12:19.200 if you make the switch.

01:12:20.180 It's really easy.

01:12:20.980 You keep your number, you keep your phone, or buy a new one.

01:12:23.260 Get reliable 4G LTE nationwide service for as low as $25 a month while helping to preserve

01:12:29.340 the country we all love.

01:12:30.580 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Beck or use their U.S.-based team at 877-367-7524.

01:12:36.880 PatriotMobile.com slash Beck.

01:12:38.640 877-367-7524.

01:12:47.420 Well, let's get right to it here.

01:12:48.860 The Steve Dace crew, Steve Dace show crew, filling in for Glenn Beck here today on the

01:12:52.820 Glenn Beck program, today and tomorrow.

01:12:54.320 And today we're talking about the seven deadly worldviews that are vying for really the soul

01:13:00.680 of America.

01:13:01.140 I hate to make it sound that apocalyptic, but it's where we're at and you're watching it

01:13:05.780 play out right now every time you go and do this while trying to watch the news.

01:13:11.900 All right, let's go to the fourth deadly worldview, which needs no introduction because it has

01:13:17.600 been the dominant one of the era every generation tuning into this was born into, Darwinism.

01:13:24.480 I think we were evolved.

01:13:39.840 There's two things that determine us, our environment and our genealogy.

01:13:45.720 Charles Darwin is so dangerous because ultimately, when we look at Darwinism, it tends to reduce

01:13:52.400 humans to animal status.

01:13:54.700 You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery

01:14:00.860 Channel.

01:14:01.760 Do it again now.

01:14:02.500 You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery

01:14:08.660 Channel.

01:14:09.580 We have two worldviews which are essentially at war with one another.

01:14:13.140 A worldview that says all people are made in the image of God, therefore I can act sacrificially

01:14:18.500 to love the neighbor who is made in the image of God.

01:14:21.400 But the conflicting worldview is that really comes out of the cut and thrust of Darwinian

01:14:26.440 evolution, that there is no purpose to life.

01:14:29.280 The universe doesn't owe us any meaning.

01:14:31.760 It could be that there is no meaning of life, and if so, that would be just tough.

01:14:36.200 Because I think that we can all make them whatever meaning we choose to make.

01:14:40.140 These are all individual meanings that you can give to your life.

01:14:44.800 That doesn't mean that life itself has one special meaning.

01:14:49.580 It doesn't mean that we are here for any particular purpose, any more than mountains are here for

01:14:55.040 a purpose or rocks are here for a purpose.

01:14:57.280 Rocks are just here.

01:14:58.920 Darwinism says that we are just two-legged animals.

01:15:01.920 We are indeed a cosmic accident.

01:15:03.640 We see this playing out in other publications like that of Richard Dawkins and the Blind Watchmaker,

01:15:09.720 where he says,

01:15:10.420 Rocks just happen.

01:15:11.380 They are here.

01:15:12.380 Mountains just happen.

01:15:13.780 They are here.

01:15:14.760 There is a sense in which life is just here.

01:15:18.300 Therefore, there is no such thing as good.

01:15:20.020 There is no such thing as evil.

01:15:21.920 We are all just wasting our time.

01:15:23.720 And there is indeed no value to human life.

01:15:26.360 And this is why it is so important that we wake up.

01:15:29.180 Most professors in the modern university system are Darwinian nihilists.

01:15:34.760 Of course, nihilism is a Latin term, meaning ex nihilo, out of nothing.

01:15:38.940 They believe in nothing.

01:15:40.020 They don't even believe in good and evil.

01:15:41.520 And this comes right out of Darwinism.

01:15:43.940 Because when we accept Darwinism, we say Christianity is passe, the church is passe, the Judeo-Christian

01:15:51.880 God is passe.

01:15:53.280 I'm embracing a completely all-encompassing, different worldview that says, guess what?

01:15:59.600 It paves the way for eugenics, for racism.

01:16:04.300 And as it's been discussed by survivors of the Holocaust, Charles Darwin was his favorite

01:16:11.180 disciple, Adolf Hitler.

01:16:12.520 When so many of the practices of the Nazi party were actually under the guise of Darwinian

01:16:18.820 scientism.

01:16:20.520 And that's where it gets very, very despicable and, in my opinion, dangerous.

01:16:24.320 Because in Darwin, for the first time historically, we see a scientific racism that emerges.

01:16:31.900 And things like polygenesis and other understandings of racist ideology.

01:16:38.720 I want to make a clear distinction.

01:16:42.520 This worldview is not called evolution.

01:16:45.040 I didn't call it that.

01:16:46.360 I use Darwinism on purpose.

01:16:48.460 I don't know how anybody could argue against some form of evolution.

01:16:51.700 For example, human beings live a lot longer now than they did 100 years ago.

01:16:55.800 They're taller now than they were 100 years ago.

01:16:58.760 Right?

01:16:59.280 They're quicker, faster collectively than they were 100 years ago.

01:17:02.780 There's evidence for forms of evolution that are predominant in our habitat, are unmistakable.

01:17:11.740 You cannot miss them.

01:17:13.080 I'm talking about an origin of species.

01:17:15.160 And if you look at Darwin's next book, The Descent of Man, he realized, because he started out there, you know, on the Galapagos, just asking questions.

01:17:27.600 Then he realized, after he got in asking questions, though, there needed to be some answers.

01:17:33.060 And that's where The Descent of Man comes in.

01:17:34.840 He starts putting flesh on the bone.

01:17:36.840 He starts putting ethics and philosophy on his scientism.

01:17:41.120 And it gave birth to the bloodiest century in human history.

01:17:45.040 The 20th century.

01:17:46.600 To each according to his abilities, for each according to his needs, never happens.

01:17:50.340 That's the Soviet Union.

01:17:51.340 Never happens without Darwin.

01:17:52.660 Dr. Johnston mentioned Nazism never happens without Darwin.

01:17:56.560 In fact, Nazi eugenic scientists were frequent speakers at Margaret Sanger's events as well.

01:18:02.900 She's the most prevalent thinker, I think, in the American thinker of the 20th century.

01:18:06.860 Abortion, that holocaust, never happens without Darwin.

01:18:10.700 More here on the Glenn Beck Program in a moment.

01:20:02.600 Thank you for the final hour today on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:16.140 I am Steve Dace.

01:20:17.320 I host, along with Todd Erz and Aaron McIntyre.

01:20:19.960 We're the trio that hosts the program each day after Glenn on Blaze TV radio and podcast from noon to 2 Eastern.

01:20:27.420 If you want to learn more about us, there's lots of ways you can do that.

01:20:29.840 BlazeTV.com slash Dace, D-E-A-D-E-A-C-E is how you can look us up there.

01:20:36.860 If you want to watch our program, you can subscribe to it via iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play.

01:20:41.080 Just search for us there as well.

01:20:42.840 Follow me on Twitter at Steve Dace Show.

01:20:45.560 There's going to be several clips.

01:20:47.780 You're going to find my name on YouTube, including, I'll point out to you why I agree with the left.

01:20:53.560 White people are the problem in America.

01:20:56.360 It's just they're the white people that are the problem.

01:20:58.680 We don't agree on which white people are the problem, but I agree with them.

01:21:01.600 Pretty much every bad idea in American culture today came from some lefty white person with too much time and too much money.

01:21:09.220 So you can look at those on YouTube.

01:21:11.780 If you have any questions at all about what we're talking about today, too, with these seven deadly worldviews, feel free to email me.

01:21:16.940 Steve at Steve Dace dot com.

01:21:19.400 Again, that's D-E-A-C-E.

01:21:21.740 So we left off with Darwinism.

01:21:23.820 Now, we're not talking about evolution, a small e, a scientific process by which there's approximately 10 trillion examples of it actually being true.

01:21:33.720 We're talking about an origin of species.

01:21:36.900 Where do we come from?

01:21:38.480 Are we the pale blue dot, Carl Sagan claimed?

01:21:42.300 Or is there something more to man, to mankind?

01:21:45.200 Are we created in the image of God or not?

01:21:47.140 Are we here with a purpose or not?

01:21:49.920 Because if we're not here with a purpose, then we're not accountable either, except to anything other than ourselves.

01:21:55.840 And I mentioned that the last century really was Darwin's century, that we would not have seen pragmatic suggestions like, well, hey, Joseph Stalin was right to each according to his abilities, for each according to his needs.

01:22:11.060 That we wouldn't have seen, well, you know, we can we can become the ubermensch.

01:22:14.820 We can we can become that person.

01:22:17.240 That we wouldn't have seen things like, well, let's make every child a wanted child.

01:22:22.680 Margaret Sanger is a disciple of Darwin.

01:22:25.440 She's also, I think, the most influential American woman of the 20th century.

01:22:30.000 So what hath Darwin wrought?

01:22:33.580 You'll see it here in our very next deadly worldview known as pragmatism.

01:22:44.840 There are two kinds of pain.

01:22:47.240 The sort of pain that makes you strong or useless pain.

01:22:51.460 The sort of pain that's only suffering.

01:22:53.280 I have no patience for useless things.

01:22:59.440 Moments like this require someone who will act.

01:23:03.060 Do the unpleasant thing.

01:23:05.860 The necessary thing.

01:23:07.320 I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world.

01:23:10.420 That have been diseased from their parents.

01:23:13.840 That have no chance in the world to be a human being, practically.

01:23:17.020 Delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things.

01:23:20.160 Just mock when they're born.

01:23:21.800 Pragmatism is so dangerous because it reduces truth to subjectivity.

01:23:26.680 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said,

01:23:31.640 What are we to do?

01:23:33.160 For this man performs many signs.

01:23:35.540 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him.

01:23:38.420 And the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.

01:23:42.880 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them,

01:23:46.320 You know nothing at all, nor do you understand that it is better for you

01:23:51.140 that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.

01:23:55.560 Forward, that is the battle cry.

01:23:57.420 Leave ideology to the armchair generals.

01:23:59.480 Does me no good.

01:24:00.860 I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.

01:24:05.200 In pragmatism, truth is permanently to be tested by practical consequences of belief.

01:24:10.840 But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.

01:24:15.600 To the American people, if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.

01:24:21.560 Period.

01:24:22.080 My position is do something on Obamacare reform.

01:24:27.800 I don't care what you do, but do something.

01:24:30.840 Because if you don't, you're toast next year.

01:24:33.580 A philosophy that undergirds the prosperity philosophy that we hear about in certain branches of Christianity.

01:24:40.880 I want to leave them something that they can use this afternoon.

01:24:43.440 So, I don't go a lot of doctrine and, you know, I go practical.

01:24:48.560 The problem is what we see worked out in modern life.

01:24:52.600 Good people sometimes have very difficult things that happen to them.

01:24:56.400 And this then becomes a justification for not believing.

01:25:00.160 So, the same justification we give for believing something, pragmatism, then becomes the identical justification for leaving that belief system.

01:25:08.100 You will stop believing if certain bad things come your way.

01:25:11.880 Or you will attempt to construct a faith that is not based on the Judeo-Christian notion.

01:25:17.020 Guess what?

01:25:17.500 It's not hard to do heresy.

01:25:19.160 It happens every single day by well-meaning people.

01:25:22.220 All I need is Jesus in no context.

01:25:24.460 So, I hijack Jesus and do eisegesis.

01:25:27.220 Or I need the Bible in no context.

01:25:29.660 And I become a heretic.

01:25:31.120 Here's the bottom line of truth.

01:25:32.740 Truth is truth whether we say it's truth.

01:25:35.700 Truth is truth whether we experience it as truth.

01:25:38.780 Truth is truth if the entire majority of humanity rejects it.

01:25:42.700 Truth is always truth.

01:25:44.620 It doesn't need to be recognized.

01:25:46.160 It doesn't need to be experienced.

01:25:47.860 Logically speaking, truth is truth.

01:25:49.900 The response to pragmatism, rather, is trusting God through thick and thin.

01:25:54.360 Faith is not contingent on some kind of pragmatic effect in my life.

01:25:59.060 Pragmatism, I think, is very dangerous.

01:26:01.100 So, I could give you several examples of pragmatism in our culture today.

01:26:06.640 The ends justify the means would be a practical example.

01:26:11.280 Looking down on the work Mother Teresa did in Calcutta, for example.

01:26:16.720 Why is she helping those people caught in the caste system?

01:26:20.600 They've been reincarnated and put into this squalor because they were terrible in their previous life.

01:26:25.800 And they are beyond redemption.

01:26:27.960 They are being punished.

01:26:29.580 That's why they are living in such deprivation.

01:26:32.400 Why is she sacrificing her own life on their behalf?

01:26:36.040 These are the sorts of things that pragmatists will say.

01:26:39.640 And by the way, they'll claim that all they want is the bottom line and to get things done.

01:26:43.400 They're just always wrong.

01:26:45.500 Always.

01:26:46.020 Why?

01:26:46.500 Because they begin from a flawed premise.

01:26:49.280 That suffering is bad.

01:26:51.360 Always bad.

01:26:52.140 And so, one of the highest purposes of life is the avoiding of suffering.

01:26:57.740 Hence, Margaret Sanger saying, I think it's a terrible thing to bring a child into the world that will be sick, will be unwanted.

01:27:03.640 I could go down that road, but let me instead take you down a personal one.

01:27:09.720 I'll give you a personal argument against pragmatism.

01:27:12.040 Christmas 1972, a 14-year-old girl in Des Moines, Iowa named Vicki Wright finds out she's pregnant from her high school senior boyfriend.

01:27:25.880 And she has a choice to make.

01:27:28.200 She lives in a home where her mom is twice divorced.

01:27:31.500 They live with her grandparents.

01:27:32.900 They're living in the white trash part of town.

01:27:35.220 That's what it was known back then.

01:27:37.420 The South Side Bottoms.

01:27:38.800 And she's not sure that she can be a mom.

01:27:43.440 Not sure how much help her mom would be with five kids of her own from two different marriages.

01:27:48.740 She's heard that some of her girlfriends that have gotten pregnant have been able to have an abortion in the back alley.

01:27:57.100 She contemplates it.

01:27:58.960 Puts it off like a lot of teenagers do.

01:28:01.380 Major decisions like that.

01:28:03.520 And then about a month later, she reads the headline in the news.

01:28:06.740 Abortion is now safe, legal, and rare.

01:28:09.800 January 1973.

01:28:11.840 Roe v. Wade is the quote-unquote law.

01:28:15.060 Well, now she's got an even tougher decision to make because now she can just walk through the front doors of a quote-unquote clinic and be done with it.

01:28:23.680 By now, she's turned 15 that January.

01:28:26.340 Still way too young to be a mom.

01:28:28.620 But the more and more she thinks about it, she decides, I can't do it.

01:28:33.220 She has a difficult delivery, a difficult life.

01:28:39.580 She's a single mom at 15, living with another single mom.

01:28:43.960 But on July 28, 1973, at Iowa Lutheran Hospital, Vicki Wright gives birth to a baby boy.

01:28:57.500 She can't afford him.

01:28:59.540 Has no idea what to do with him, how to raise him.

01:29:02.560 She's learning to grow up herself in real time.

01:29:05.100 But she gives that child a name.

01:29:11.320 His name is Steve.

01:29:15.620 And 46 years later, that child is me.

01:29:20.180 Broadcasting on 500 radio stations nationwide.

01:29:24.440 On one of the largest media platforms on this planet.

01:29:29.520 Today.

01:29:30.760 Right now.

01:29:32.000 In your hearing.

01:29:32.720 A child there supposedly wasn't going to be any hope for.

01:29:38.320 Was a mistake.

01:29:39.420 An accident.

01:29:40.200 Not wanted originally.

01:29:42.540 And I know my mama would tell you 46 years later, she's probably listening right now.

01:29:46.380 I'm the best mistake she ever made.

01:29:51.580 Pragmatism says, why put yourself through that suffering, Vicki?

01:29:56.000 Why take a long view?

01:29:57.380 Why think of anything other than your own immediate short-term needs and desires right now?

01:30:02.720 Why do anything that would make your poll numbers dip?

01:30:10.200 Make re-election harder?

01:30:14.060 In other words, pragmatism says reject anything in life that might be difficult or meaningful.

01:30:20.420 Other than that, it's great.

01:30:23.240 More in a moment here on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:30:26.840 You know what they're saying.

01:30:32.440 New year and new you.

01:30:34.280 But what about this one?

01:30:35.260 New phone, new tablet, new cyber threats.

01:30:38.000 It's true.

01:30:38.600 When you shop online, bank, or browse online with the shiny new devices that you got over the holidays,

01:30:44.060 you are vulnerable to cyber threats.

01:30:46.120 And if you only think an old-school antivirus is going to be enough to defend your devices

01:30:50.700 and help protect the information you store on them, you're forgetting one very important thing.

01:30:55.780 Cybercrime updates as well.

01:30:57.940 You'll need protection that evolves and updates too.

01:31:00.980 You need Norton 360.

01:31:02.600 It's a cyber safety membership with multiple layers of protection,

01:31:06.760 including real-time security for your devices,

01:31:09.300 a VPN to help protect your privacy on Wi-Fi,

01:31:12.260 and a password manager to securely manage your logins and more.

01:31:16.320 Now, nobody can prevent all cybercrime, but Norton 360 is your ally.

01:31:26.380 That's norton.com slash beck for up to 50% off.

01:31:30.440 So let's get to our next of our seven deadly worldviews, shall we, gentlemen?

01:31:45.760 Absolutely.

01:31:46.520 And I think this is the stage we're at now.

01:31:51.220 That's the good news is you're about to learn where we are right now as a culture.

01:31:54.780 The bad news is we are approaching the end of this stage.

01:31:59.480 All right?

01:32:00.080 And so we've gone from deconstructing God.

01:32:03.480 We've then decided, well, maybe we're God.

01:32:06.300 And then we're like, well, you know, maybe we're not the best gods.

01:32:10.900 So are there other gods out there?

01:32:14.080 And then we decided again, yes, there are other gods,

01:32:17.440 particularly when they're convenient for me to use them when it's pragmatic to do so.

01:32:22.220 And now everybody's got their own opinion about who's God and whether they're God or not.

01:32:26.840 So how do we make sense of that pea soup that we're in?

01:32:31.880 That's the stage we're at right now.

01:32:34.840 The sixth of our seven deadly worldviews is syncretism.

01:32:38.820 Do we all worship the same God, Christian and Muslim?

01:32:48.460 I think we do.

01:32:49.640 It does.

01:32:50.620 We have different routes of getting to the Almighty.

01:32:53.120 Syncretism tells us that truth is what you want it to be.

01:32:56.920 Truth is true for you, but it may not be my truth, and it becomes relativism at its core.

01:33:02.360 We don't have any creed or test.

01:33:04.960 Our theological spectrum is very broad.

01:33:07.660 Whatever seems true and relevant and useful, we can gladly incorporate into our unitarian theology.

01:33:13.780 No debemos dejar de orar por él y colaborar con quienes piensan distinto.

01:33:20.000 Confío en Buda.

01:33:22.280 Creo en Dios.

01:33:23.800 Creo en Jesucristo.

01:33:25.500 Creo en Dios.

01:33:26.620 Allah.

01:33:26.860 Muchos piensan distinto, sienten distinto, buscan a Dios o encuentran a Dios de diversa manera.

01:33:37.700 En esta multitud, en este abanico de religiones, hay una sola certeza que tenemos para todos.

01:33:47.860 Todos somos hijos de Dios.

01:33:49.680 Soy un cristiano, esa es mi fe, pero no es necesaria.

01:33:54.800 Tengo respeto por todas las fe.

01:33:56.860 Oh, sí.

01:34:00.860 We are the children.

01:34:04.100 We are the ones.

01:34:05.260 I can't imagine a moment in which that young American sergeant expressed his Christianity more profoundly than when confronted by his own death, he said, we are all Jews.

01:34:19.040 And last I checked, relativism only works out with people's behavior.

01:34:24.040 My friends do not want a relativist to be the pilot of their commercial airline.

01:34:28.820 I think I'll land the plane like I just feel like landing it today and ignore the laws of gravity.

01:34:33.680 I can't imagine a better expression of the peaceful spirit of Islam than when a Muslim father filled with fear drew from the example of a Baptist preacher and a Jewish rabbi to teach his children what God demands.

01:34:53.240 I'm sure you don't want a relativist to be your brain surgeon to just operate on your head the way he or she may feel like operating that day.

01:35:06.740 It's only when it comes to behavioral syncretism that we can say, well, if that's your truth, that's fine, but that's not my truth.

01:35:14.280 And really, atheists, in my opinion, are the great syncretists.

01:35:18.340 Very few atheists are as blunt as Richard Dawkins about the world being meaningless.

01:35:22.980 And they borrow Judeo-Christian ethics and equality, and they talk about their nobler, more enlightened way.

01:35:30.900 They talk about the fact that they don't judge and that they're open-minded, and yet they're being very syncretistic with the Christian worldview.

01:35:38.980 They have expectations, they even call themselves humanists or humanitarians, but really they have no basis for it because they reject God.

01:35:46.740 Nothing is spiritual.

01:35:47.820 You end up with this syncretism belief, borrowing elements of what we really are, borrowing elements from what we think are two conflicting worldviews, putting them together, mixing them, matching them, and creating our own construct, religiously speaking,

01:36:04.140 and denying the very groundwork that each person is valuable and made in the image of God.

01:36:10.860 Ah, yes, they coexist.

01:36:13.960 Yes.

01:36:15.600 I believe the, um, didn't the Boston Marathon bombers, didn't the car they carjacked have a coexist bumper sticker on it, if I recall?

01:36:24.380 I can't recall off the top of my head.

01:36:26.000 I don't know if it surprised me.

01:36:27.400 That'll be what I believe from now on, just because it's perfect.

01:36:30.340 As they say in seminary, that'll preach.

01:36:32.800 Okay?

01:36:34.260 So, here's the thing.

01:36:36.680 Because we started off the show talking about how our founders cracked the code.

01:36:40.920 The ability to get people with different ideas on theology to live peaceably with one another.

01:36:48.420 How to do that.

01:36:49.940 And that, and they actually use the word of God to crack that code.

01:36:54.320 Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar.

01:36:56.140 Render unto God that which is God's.

01:36:58.060 So, if, if one religion said Jesus Christ died on a cross and was physically resurrected on the third day.

01:37:05.220 And another, to prove that he was God.

01:37:07.900 And another religion said Jesus was never executed, therefore he was never resurrected.

01:37:12.560 And he's not God because God has no son.

01:37:15.320 See, we even wrote it up on the roof of the dome of the rock.

01:37:18.740 Would it be possible for both of those religions to both be true at the same time?

01:37:24.300 No.

01:37:25.040 No.

01:37:25.780 Because they are, they are, now could they both be wrong?

01:37:29.380 Correct.

01:37:29.760 They could both be wrong.

01:37:31.580 But when they each violate the, the identifying factor of the other, they contradict that.

01:37:38.780 They cannot both be true.

01:37:41.140 Why are you being so judgy?

01:37:42.140 That's because, here's the thing, the people that say that, what you're going to learn is that tolerance, every time you turn on a tolerance boulevard here, it's a one-way street, brother.

01:37:53.480 All right?

01:37:54.120 They get to judge you all they want.

01:37:56.380 I, I didn't think a Christian was supposed to act like that.

01:37:58.900 Well, I think there's all kinds of contradictions in the Bible.

01:38:01.420 I think this, I think that.

01:38:03.500 But then the minute you say what you think, you're just, well, you're a bigot and a homophobe.

01:38:09.060 That's what syncretism does.

01:38:10.400 It's a fake tolerance.

01:38:12.960 So that we never actually have the conversations that matter the most.

01:38:18.800 So that they then become free to plug in the answers to those questions they prefer.

01:38:25.460 My best friend in politics is a Jew named Daniel Horowitz.

01:38:30.540 My best buddy.

01:38:31.860 We share a brain.

01:38:33.080 He doesn't think Jesus is the Messiah.

01:38:35.100 My entire life is predicated on that belief.

01:38:39.020 I know where he stands.

01:38:41.140 He certainly knows where I stand.

01:38:43.240 Oh, I'm not changing for him.

01:38:45.560 I'd like him to change his view for me as I'm, he would probably like me to change my view for him.

01:38:51.460 But it's going to take some convincing.

01:38:52.800 Yet, somehow, by treating each other as grown men and being honest about our differences, there's a whole catalog of other things we agree on and fight right alongside one another in those battles.

01:39:07.920 Like, we're, like, we're brothers.

01:39:13.340 That's, see, that's what true tolerance and diversity is.

01:39:18.080 Syncretism doesn't want any of that.

01:39:20.680 What secretism wants you to do is not fight for the things that matter the most in life at all.

01:39:26.980 So that you can be conquered.

01:39:30.180 That's what syncretism cares about.

01:39:31.880 More of the Glenn Beck program here in a moment.

01:39:34.740 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:41:02.540 Back here on the Glenn Beck program, we are the crew from The Steve Day Show filling in here today and tomorrow.

01:41:07.380 We are after Glenn each weekday from noon to 2 Eastern on Blaze TV radio and podcast.

01:41:13.640 BlazeTV.com slash Dace.

01:41:16.180 That's D-E-A-C-E.

01:41:17.860 That's how you can learn more about our show on Blaze TV or subscribe to the podcast.

01:41:21.800 Just look for my name, Steve Dace, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, et cetera.

01:41:26.480 We are counting down.

01:41:28.740 And the hits won't stop until we reach rock freaking bottom.

01:41:32.820 Casey Kasem.

01:41:33.820 We are counting down the seven deadly worldviews.

01:41:36.740 That are competing with the Judeo-Christian worldview that founded the country for the soul of America.

01:41:42.940 As we speak, we just got through talking about how we're through the sixth stage.

01:41:46.920 These are in the order that they devolve a system.

01:41:49.620 They devolve a culture, a tribe, a human enclave.

01:41:53.540 And we're at stage six now here with syncretism.

01:41:56.620 And it's this idea that I don't have to wrestle with whether or not Jesus is the son of God.

01:42:03.600 I don't have to wrestle with is he who we claim to be.

01:42:07.740 I get to change who we claim to be.

01:42:10.360 Jesus is now Che Guevara.

01:42:12.820 Jesus is a hippie.

01:42:14.100 The Netflix special, Jesus is gay.

01:42:16.340 I can change that now.

01:42:18.240 I get to change that.

01:42:19.900 That's what syncretism does.

01:42:22.340 That I kind of get to just decide.

01:42:23.600 I kind of determine the truth that's comfortable for me to believe at that time.

01:42:28.760 I have my truth.

01:42:30.820 And if there's anything I'm going to say these three hours that you're going to remember,

01:42:36.320 remember what I'm about to say next.

01:42:38.400 First and foremost, please.

01:42:43.140 None of you have your own truth.

01:42:47.040 Nobody has ever had their own truth.

01:42:52.120 There is the truth.

01:42:55.080 And then there is you.

01:42:59.780 Let's get to the seventh and final deadly worldview.

01:43:02.980 It's the one where minus revival, we are going next.

01:43:06.660 And you can already see the seeds are sown.

01:43:10.800 It's the seventh and final stage before we put the R.I.P. tombstone up on a culture

01:43:17.940 and add them to the Encyclopedia Britannica or Wikipedia nowadays, secular humanism.

01:43:24.220 Rights from Americans come from us, sometimes political.

01:43:40.860 Everybody has personal rights, and it's based on common sense.

01:43:44.540 The father of secular humanism is Auguste Comte, the thinker who, oddly enough, though he hated religion

01:43:51.080 and specifically Judeo-Christianity religion and the motif out of Judeo-Christianity,

01:43:56.640 he actually created his own religion where he borrowed things out of religious belief.

01:44:02.060 After all, he became, as it were, the high priest of the secular humanist organization.

01:44:07.800 They have rights and, in effect, almost church-service-like experiences.

01:44:12.640 And who did Auguste Comte inspire?

01:44:15.580 None other than Karl Marx, one of his closest disciples,

01:44:19.300 someone who revered the teachings of secular humanism, which inspired communism,

01:44:25.040 which inspired an atheist regime that ultimately would have a body count just in the 20th century

01:44:31.340 of over 100 million dead.

01:44:33.620 And this comes back to a belief system that says that we are cosmic accidents.

01:44:38.340 Rocks are just here.

01:44:40.380 Rocks just happen.

01:44:41.300 They are here.

01:44:42.320 Mountains just happen.

01:44:43.720 They are here.

01:44:44.700 There is a sense in which life is just here.

01:44:48.080 There are no transcendent values.

01:44:51.440 That is, values for all people.

01:44:53.000 So you need to turn to Jesus Christ.

01:44:54.680 He can set you free from your sin.

01:44:56.000 Listen here, son.

01:44:57.080 All right?

01:44:57.940 I'm as gay as the day is long.

01:44:59.540 Twice as sunny.

01:45:00.380 I don't give a f*** what you think Jesus tells me and what I should and should not be doing.

01:45:04.040 There's no such thing as universal and individual freedoms.

01:45:08.320 They reject the notion that people are made in the image of God.

01:45:11.560 My body, my choice!

01:45:13.860 My body, my choice!

01:45:15.460 My body, my choice!

01:45:16.800 We are two-legged animals, and this is where secular humanism is very dangerous.

01:45:21.540 Of course, there is no ethical basis for right or wrong in the secular humanist motif.

01:45:26.940 And I also find it interesting that so many of the quote-unquote enlightened thinkers, the age of reason thinkers who refer to themselves as secular humanists, they were, of course, supportive of the transatlantic slave trade and the atrocities associated with it.

01:45:43.440 Many of them picked up pre-Christian racism that comes right out of Plato and Aristotle.

01:45:48.080 Even early eugenics then is picked up again by Karl Marx and, of course, Friedrich Nietzsche, the sons and the offsprings, offspring, as it were, of Auguste Comte and secular humanism.

01:46:00.140 One final time, I want to thank Dr. Jeremiah Johnson.

01:46:05.280 If you've enjoyed his Cliff's Notes philosophy classes he has given us here today on the Glenn Beck Program with these seven deadly worldviews, he's done a ton of stuff over at foxnews.com and on Fox News over the years.

01:46:17.740 He's with Houston Baptist University.

01:46:19.320 You can also look him up over at the Christian Thinkers Society as well.

01:46:22.760 Here's the most important thing to understand about secular humanism.

01:46:26.560 It's the endgame of a culture.

01:46:30.980 It's not a permanent place because it goes against our nature.

01:46:34.960 We need and have to worship something.

01:46:38.580 There has never been, with the exception of the Soviet Union, any truly secular society in all of human history.

01:46:47.140 Here's an anthropological fact of human history.

01:46:49.860 Every human culture has practiced child sacrifice.

01:46:52.200 Every single one has, including ours at Planned Parenthood today.

01:46:57.220 That's an anthropological fact of history.

01:46:59.960 Every culture has done some form of it.

01:47:02.280 Number two, there's never truly been a longstanding secular government or culture.

01:47:10.700 Go to the Old Testament, when the Jews would run up against folks that, pagan armies that referred to themselves as Baal something.

01:47:21.080 What does Baal mean?

01:47:22.120 Lord.

01:47:23.140 Meaning that they were the god of that community.

01:47:27.060 Or planted there by the god of that community.

01:47:29.600 So I'm Baal Peor.

01:47:31.420 I'm the Lord Peor.

01:47:33.920 Baal put me here.

01:47:35.200 Or I'm Baal incarnate.

01:47:36.580 But the Soviet Union tried it for a while, and what ended up happening is they made government god.

01:47:41.920 Because Chesterton is right about this too.

01:47:43.900 Whenever government removes the god, the government will become the god.

01:47:47.540 So the Soviet Union tried this, and then they made the government god, and ultimately collapsed on itself.

01:47:52.980 So there's never been a secular culture, and there never will be.

01:47:56.480 And those who say they want secularism either don't know what it truly is, or they are wantonly lying to you.

01:48:05.020 Because the point of advocating the secularism is to make way for what the new meta will be.

01:48:12.760 And if you want to know what this looks like, look at Europe.

01:48:15.040 Where for the last several years in a row, the most popular male baby name in London has been Muhammad.

01:48:24.120 You go to too many Catholic, of the great Catholic churches in Europe, they're mausoleums.

01:48:31.640 2% of the population in France.

01:48:34.300 2.

01:48:34.740 2.

01:48:36.720 2% of the population in France is evangelical.

01:48:39.500 2%.

01:48:39.900 Christianity is dead in Western Europe, for the most part.

01:48:49.620 But what's replacing it is not some secular nirvana, folks.

01:48:54.100 Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:48:55.580 That's a lie.

01:48:58.180 What's replacing it is the Moors have just made it past Portugal this time.

01:49:04.520 And now a lot of those Catholic churches, hey, you guys don't want to go there and worship Jesus anymore?

01:49:09.500 We'll just make them mosques now.

01:49:12.380 They are.

01:49:13.760 They were sold.

01:49:14.720 They're mosques now.

01:49:16.960 No, there's going to be a meta.

01:49:19.100 There's always, we need one.

01:49:20.820 We have to have one.

01:49:22.240 We're built for one.

01:49:24.340 We're made in the image of God.

01:49:26.240 It goes against our wiring to not have a meta.

01:49:31.100 So we're either going to put something there that actually is God.

01:49:34.420 We're going to put something there that's not.

01:49:36.040 Or we're going to put ourselves there as God.

01:49:38.500 That whole ye be like God thing.

01:49:40.060 We're going to do it.

01:49:41.040 There's going to be a meta in the culture.

01:49:43.320 In our hearts.

01:49:44.240 There's going to be a meta.

01:49:47.500 And what you see in Western Europe, where now the Bishop of Canterbury of the Church of England is now advocating for Sharia law.

01:49:56.880 You know, it's just only fair for diversity's sake, of course.

01:50:02.100 And by the way, I don't know anything that has oppressed more Muslims in this world than Sharia law.

01:50:07.040 And there's no place on earth you'll go where it is safer and wealthier and better for you to be a Muslim than in a country founded on Judeo-Christian values.

01:50:15.220 This one.

01:50:15.660 Tell me what has oppressed more Muslims.

01:50:20.320 Well, I can come up with one more thing.

01:50:22.460 The Ottomans.

01:50:23.680 Also Muslims.

01:50:25.440 Okay.

01:50:26.460 The Ottomans and Sharia law have oppressed Muslims more than anything else in the history of Islam.

01:50:35.140 And if you're a Muslim today, you're better off living in Georgia than you are Yemen.

01:50:41.240 Then, yes, Baptist Georgia, you're better off.

01:50:49.980 So eventually, if you move out one meta, the next meta is going to take over.

01:50:56.980 And that's where this is going.

01:51:00.100 These cycles reboot themselves.

01:51:01.700 We, as a culture, are going to worship something or someone or one another.

01:51:11.120 Barack Obama's we are the people we've been waiting for.

01:51:16.280 The debate is what's coming next.

01:51:20.040 What is not debatable is that we will look and marvel upon it.

01:51:26.560 That part's not debatable.

01:51:28.820 And that's where we're going next.

01:51:29.960 All of this.

01:51:32.300 What's my gay marriage?

01:51:33.720 What's that?

01:51:34.060 What did that do?

01:51:34.920 Hey, hey, how's my gay marriage impacting you?

01:51:37.280 Remember that lie?

01:51:40.820 All of the cute.

01:51:41.880 Every child, a wanted child.

01:51:43.320 Make abortion safe, legal, and rare.

01:51:47.040 Well, you can have your religion in your church.

01:51:49.320 Just can't take it with you anywhere else.

01:51:52.580 All of these fanciful lies we have been told.

01:51:54.840 We're all done to get you to lay down your arms and open your arms to the meta-truth they want to indoctrinate you with instead.

01:52:10.700 That's what this has always been about.

01:52:15.160 And I started the show today with a quote from one of the best movies of the year.

01:52:23.820 As we come towards the end of the program today, let me use another quote from what I think is the best movie of the year.

01:52:30.520 We're in the end game now.

01:52:36.700 We are in the end game now.

01:52:39.480 We're fighting for the next election.

01:52:43.020 The spirit of the age is conquering generations.

01:52:46.220 Have you seen the polling?

01:52:47.700 Aaron's generation?

01:52:49.280 A third of them want communism?

01:52:53.020 And that's up 10% from just a couple of years ago?

01:52:55.640 We're worried about the next approval rating?

01:53:03.260 They're worried about forcing their approval upon you.

01:53:08.500 We'll have some final thoughts here on the Glenn Beck program next.

01:53:14.180 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:53:19.140 If you experience pain on a daily basis, I know exactly how you feel.

01:53:24.180 It can be debilitating.

01:53:25.760 It can control your life.

01:53:27.420 The aches are easy to understand.

01:53:29.100 When it really hurts to do the basic chores, emotionally, the effects of pain can be just as dramatic.

01:53:34.940 I have spoken to so many people in this audience that have started to take Relief Factor.

01:53:38.820 The change emotionally is as dramatic as the physical relief, maybe even more.

01:53:43.720 As you might know, Tanya and I started taking Relief Factor several months ago.

01:53:46.700 After about 10 days, subtle changes started to become significant.

01:53:50.060 And I've been able to stop taking all prescription pain medications, all pain medications entirely,

01:53:55.140 and stop the terrible side effects of those awful drugs.

01:54:53.500 We're noon to 2 Eastern every day on BlazeTV Radio and Podcast right after Glenn Beck.

01:54:58.720 So, gentlemen, we've got about two minutes left here in the program.

01:55:01.660 Some final thoughts from each of you, Aaron.

01:55:03.980 I'll start with you on what we discussed and shared with America today.

01:55:07.540 Yeah, so God knows that when you eat of the fruit, you'll become like him, knowing good and evil.

01:55:16.100 You'll become like God.

01:55:17.900 Ye be like God.

01:55:19.140 That's kind of the root lie, the fallacy that everyone falls for when accepting any of these worldviews that we've talked about today.

01:55:29.100 I have the special knowledge.

01:55:30.740 I have the extra thing that you need to do.

01:55:32.580 We're all just one big circle of life.

01:55:35.820 Nothing, everything is meaningless.

01:55:37.700 Therefore, we make our own meaning.

01:55:40.500 We all worship the same God.

01:55:42.740 The government, it's all the same lie.

01:55:46.680 Ye be like God.

01:55:48.240 The founders of this country recognized, and we repeat this all the time on the show,

01:55:54.360 they recognized that they were not the exception to the rule.

01:55:57.560 So everybody else – well, let's try socialism this time.

01:56:03.440 It really hasn't been tried.

01:56:04.640 It really hasn't been tried properly.

01:56:07.580 That's a tacit admission that they – that people who adopt that type of thinking, we are the exception to the rule.

01:56:13.180 Now, the founders of this country understood that we were not the exception to this rule,

01:56:16.640 and therefore we became exceptional when we went down that path because we set up a government.

01:56:23.520 Our founders set up a government recognizing the fact that all men are created equal,

01:56:28.680 but that in this country we do live in a nation where we are accountable first and foremost to God.

01:56:38.100 Gradually that's been, of course, chipped away at over the years,

01:56:41.020 and now we're left with where we are right now, creeping on the doorsteps of secular humanism.

01:56:45.480 And that can – we can only imagine.

01:56:48.600 We know what that will bring.

01:56:50.300 We only can imagine what iteration that we will practice if we do go down that road minus revival.

01:56:55.960 And so at the end of the day, it's the same thing we preach on the show all of the time.

01:57:00.080 It's revival or bust.

01:57:03.260 That is very well said.

01:57:05.000 And it's happening to thunderous applause as that grand Rube Goldberg machine just keeps getting built and built and built,

01:57:11.920 and now it's coming down on us and trapping us at the end.

01:57:15.080 And that's the great irony of it.

01:57:16.380 And there the devil is at the end in his best Jim Nance voice.

01:57:19.700 Hello, friends.

01:57:23.700 Hey, if you liked today, or if you didn't, make sure you stick around.

01:57:28.380 We're going to be back again here tomorrow as well.

01:57:30.480 And we're going to be – we were very philosophical today, far more practical tomorrow.

01:57:34.480 Our Ten Commandments of Political Warfare coming your way when we fill in here tomorrow again on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:57:40.740 To all of you, thanks for listening.

01:57:42.940 Until then, John 317.

01:57:44.240 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:57:57.900 I wrote a Ivan back inuelle.

01:57:59.020 I brought a heart with a recommendation.

01:58:01.380 I'm ainda 물 and a CEO.

01:58:01.400 I might.

01:58:02.560 I'm not a person.

01:58:03.060 I'm a person.

01:58:03.200 I might.

01:58:03.680 I'm a person.

01:58:04.540 I'm a person.

01:58:07.680 I guess I'm a person.

01:58:08.600 I might.

01:58:09.300 I?

01:58:17.600 I'm.

01:58:17.680 I.

01:58:18.260 I mean.

01:58:18.540 I.

01:58:19.220 You.

01:58:20.040 I.

01:58:20.340 I'm a person.
