Chapters

Recent polls reveal a concerning trend of declining voter turnout among people of faith, raising questions about its potential impact on the presidential election. Glenn Beck emphasizes the importance of civic and religious responsibility in voting and discusses strategies to encourage greater participation.
  • Polls show a decline in voter turnout among people of faith, from 61% in 2020 to a projected 50% in the upcoming election.
  • Reasons for not voting include disinterest in politics, dislike of candidates, and the belief that individual votes don't matter.
  • Engaging religious leaders to emphasize the biblical responsibility of voting could significantly increase turnout.
  • Highlighting the close nature of the race and the potential impact of each vote could also motivate more people to participate.

Well, hello, Stu. How are you? Glenn, how are you? Oh, my gosh, I'm glad you asked. Really? You didn't answer, but you're glad I asked. Yeah, I'm glad you asked. I'm really glad you asked. The answer would not be positive. Right. So let me just give you some data here on the latest poll from George Barna to determine how many people of faith are going to go out and vote.

What would you say people that are religious, what's the percentage that actually go out and vote? I mean, 60, 70? Yeah. Well, in 2020, it was 61%. Okay. That's maybe where my impression came from. In 2016, it was 54.6%. Wrong direction there. In 2012, 53%.

Now, based on the survey, the new one, seven weeks prior to the election, if the election were held at the time of the survey, the expected turnout would be 50%. Surprising it's going down. Yeah. Of all things, you'd think almost the feelings are more intense to vote than they would be 25 years ago. Now, can you imagine if 70% of people who...

identified themselves as religious and were actually using the principles that they learned

actually went out and voted can you imagine my next six weeks are hell glenn um this is my not my worst time of the year but my worst time of the four years yeah this section of life sucks yes i know right no and it if that happened it would make my life a lot better because i wouldn't have to really think that much about this stuff i wouldn't have to run numbers every day i wouldn't have to do any of that stuff because donald trump would win easily

If it was instead of 50% of voters who were religious voting, it was 70%, there wouldn't be much of a doubt of who's going to win this election. If you are a theologically defined born-again Christian, 52%. Turn out Protestant, 52%. Catholic, 58%. Evangelical, 53%. Mainline Protestant Church, 57%. Pentecostal, 50%.

Attend a non-denominational Christian church, 46%. Self-identified Christian, 52%. Align with non-Christian faith, 50%. Self-identified Christian regularly attends church, 61%. Now here's the reason why people say they're not voting. The reason, given by two-thirds of the non-voters, 68%. They say they're just not interested in politics or elections.

You probably should be because they're interested in you. Politicians are certainly interested in you and they're really interested when you don't pay attention. 68% don't pay attention. Other reasons? More than half of the non-voters included disliking all of the major candidates. 57%, 55% feeling that none of the candidates reflect their most important views.

52% say, my vote's not going to make a difference. Half of the non-voters say they will avoid voting because the election has become too controversial for their liking. 48% say, well, the election's going to be rigged. Not knowing enough about the candidate, 48%. How is that possible? I mean, all of the things that you could say, that one, I don't know enough. Well, you're seven weeks away.

you could look them up. You could do that. Guys, voting started. It's time to get the engines running. How many states have already started voting? I don't know that. Pennsylvania, Minnesota, South Dakota, New Jersey, Vermont, Virginia, Illinois, and Wyoming start this week. So it's time. I mean, it might be time to look at it. Right. So here's a couple of things that you can do. If you are in a church...

You need to convince your pastor or priest or whatever to teach the congregants that voting is a biblical responsibility of every Christian. It would cause an estimated 17% of the people of faith who plan not to vote actually participate in election day. If your pastor, your priest, your leader said, this is...

biblically required your participation in an election to pick sound people, that's your responsibility. 17% more would vote. Hmm, is that true? No, I just made those numbers up. No, I don't mean the numbers. I mean, is it biblically required to... Oh, yeah, to select...

to select righteous leaders. I mean, I think it's certainly a civic duty, but I don't think I'd ever thought about it in those terms. I mean, we talk about this stuff all the time. That would make... I mean, if someone made a good argument to me other than you...

That would probably, if I was a person on the fence. I could get somebody on. No. I could get somebody on. But I think if I was on the fence on that and I heard, hey, like, here's this scripture that tells you you need to do this, that would be something that I think from a pastor or priest. Sarah, see if we can get Max Licato on the phone. Another 14% claim that if they perceived the race to be close enough that their vote might actually make a difference, then they would cast a ballot.

Well, I mean, it doesn't get any closer than this one. And Donald Trump once states, I mean, what was the closest state? 11,000? About that, yeah. 11,000. It's very, very close. Yeah, if you choose, there are going to be other people like you. It is razor thin close.

A guilt-based or fear-based strategy might impact one out of every ten. You're going to hell if you don't do it. I like that. I mean, I'm willing to say that. I mean, I'm not going to judge you, but you are going to hell if you don't vote. One out of ten non-voters said that if a religious leader they highly respect endorsed a presidential candidate, then they could justify voting. What is that? I don't understand that. I don't understand that one at all.

I mean, you don't trust yourself. You don't have your own intellect. You don't have access to God. What is that? You do your own homework, then you pray on it and you make a decision based on that. So what are the things that can actually make a difference? Well, let's look. For those people who are objecting that they're not interested in politics or election,

I know it seems like Washington is a far, far away place. However, political decisions influence everything you do. This one could mean you either keep your health care or you lose your health care. One candidate is saying they're going to get rid of all private insurance and we're going to go to a system like Canada. You don't want that. So you have health care. How about education? Are your kids in school? Tell me how...

One side is pushing for drag queen story hours in kindergarten and taking away your children if you don't confirm their gender selection. How does that not affect you? It's not removed from you. It is very, very close. One is talking about taking away private businesses if they cared to.

Taking away your right to free speech. You can't say certain things. And if you do, you could go to jail. You'll be shut down. One is talking about price controls, which over and over and over again throughout history will drive the cost of your food and everything you buy through the roof. It doesn't work. How does that not personally affect you? It does.

It does. Everything you do, this election will touch you. You dislike all of the candidates. Okay, I can get that. I understand that. But sometimes it is the lesser evil mentality. But I don't think that's the case here. I think you could make a case that there is evil and then there is, I don't like the guy. Anyone who tries to take your freedom away

to choose your freedom. They will make the decisions for you. They will run your life. They will tell you what stove you can and cannot buy. They will tell you what you do with your own property. They will tell you exactly how you're paid. They'll take more of your money to do what with it? To go kill more people around the world? I mean, look, I was for the Iraq war.

I was wrong on that. It was the information I had at the time, but I really thought we were, I thought we were really different this time around. I thought we were going in to win things and not just to flex our muscles and really do nothing but waste lives. We see that that wasn't true. I've changed. I think most people have changed. So what side are you on? The side of, you know, it's really amazing to me.

The only right that Kamala's side will fight for is the right to kill. You don't have a right to free speech. You don't have a right to think differently. You don't have a right to stand up and say, no, wait a minute, hang on just a second. I don't think that's right. You're going to lose your right to your property. What right do they stand for? The right to murder children. The right to mutilate children.

and the right to go to war and kill people. That doesn't sound good. None of the candidates reflect your most important views. What are your most important views? My most important view is individual freedoms and liberties. That everybody has a right to make their own way. If you're

most important views don't reflect the Declaration of Independence Then you're not really you don't know what an American is an American believes that there are certain things that are self-evident and among these things are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unmovable rights that no man can change and

And the governments are instituted among men to protect those rights. So the government's real power is not in Washington. It's with you. I can't think of a more important idea than that one. And you might think, well, of course I believe that. Well, yeah, but a lot of people no longer believe that. If you do believe that,

You have to go and vote for that because one side believes in that. The other side no longer believes it. They'll give you lip service, but they're also telling you they're not, you know, they're not for banning fracking. They're not for all of these crazy bills that they were for there. Excuse me. Kamala's whole life, her whole life has been about those things.

In six weeks, she just changed her mind on everything? It's not reasonable. And as I said, your vote will make a difference. It's closer than you think even in Texas. Everyone needs to vote. And if you're a religious person, it doesn't matter if your vote doesn't count. It will. But you have a civic and religious responsibility to

to let your voice be heard in selecting good, honorable, or the most honorable person that you can find, the one that is standing up for the principles that you and I believe in.

All right, back in just a second. First, let me tell you about Rough Greens. Kevin wrote in about his dog's experience with Rough Greens. He said, finally decided to give it a try after seeing the ads over and over. I thought it seemed like a lot of hype, honestly, but I'm pleased to find out that it's everything that is advertised. My four-year-old dog, picky, picky eater, but not anymore.

She's had a huge increase in appetite. She plays all day long now until she collapses and falls asleep. Thank you, Rough Greens. You are welcome. It's not a dog food. It's a supplement developed by naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black that you sprinkle on the dog's food, and it contains all the good stuff your dog needs for a happier, healthier life.

Things like probiotics and antioxidants. Remember, brown food is dead food. You need the green stuff. The folks at Rough Greens are so confident your dog is going to love it that they offer a special deal for you. You get your first trial bag for free at Rough Greens.

Go to rough greens dot com slash back or call 833 Glenn 33. 10 seconds station ID. All right. Welcome to the program. Thank you, Glenn. I did you see the CNN poll that came out yesterday? No. A couple of interesting things in it, by the way, basically has it tied on the top line. 48 for Harris, 47 for Trump.

You know, showing yet again a tight race, but a couple interesting things. In this divided race, 51% say each of them have policy positions on major issues that they align with what they want in a president. But more are saying Trump's are exactly what they want in a president, 29% to 18%. And this is, I think, really fertile ground for Donald Trump.

Trump also benefits from the 51% of likely voters who say that looking back on his time as president, it was more of a success than a failure. So he looked back at his presidency positively. And this is a kind of a unique experience here that we're having where one of the candidates has already been president. The other one is currently the vice president. So we have some idea. Harris may be impeded by the widespread perception of Biden's time as president as a failure to

Again, according to CNN, 61% of voters say that Biden's presidency has been a failure. How does she escape that? Right. It's only through delusions. I would agree. It really is. And this is the group that you have to imagine is fertile ground for the Trump campaign. Of the voters who see Biden's presidency as a failure...

19%, one in five, say they'll still vote for Kamala Harris. How is that possible? How is that possible? It's possible, I think, only because she still has that separation. She still has that separation from Biden that she's almost like not really part of the administration. I saw a poll the other day that asked the question, how have Trump's policies affected you positively or negatively?

And then the opposing question was, how would Harris's policies affect you? Right. It's as if she's this new thing that we're all kind of like, gosh, what is she going to do? And that's understandable for voters, considering she's running away from every viewpoint and changing all the time and no one knows what her policies are as she states them. But we do have real evidence of this. She's been the vice president for four years.

And I would love someone to ask her a question that's basically like, has Joe Biden ever stopped you from doing anything? Did he ever say, no, Kamala, we're not doing that policy? Has that ever occurred? You've walked out of the Oval and you're always saying that you are the last person in.

And then you come out and you're in complete agreement, even after failures. You could say now, especially, you know, I disagreed with that. I disagreed with this. But she didn't. Nope. She didn't. And her record shows that her whole life she supported the things that she

Joe Biden was doing. And honestly, more things to the left of what Joe Biden was doing. And if that's what differentiates her, which I think it very well might be, that should be noted. But she's just running away from them and hiding. Glenn Beck.

So let me talk to you about Lear Capital. The economy has been the victim of so many crimes of mismanagement at this point. It's it's tough to keep track of them all. You know, just just draw a chalk outline around the U.S. dollar because it's been murdered. Look, after the election, things could start to get better. Nobody hopes for that more than I do.

But you can't count on it. If Donald Trump is elected, things will get worse before they get better. But they will get better. If we continue down this road, it's not going to get better. We're in this part of the cycle that, you know, we have weak men that have created hard times. And it's going to be very difficult and very painful to pull out of this nosedive.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Glad you're here. Have you seen that all of a sudden nuclear power is okay? I mean, that would be a great development if it were for good purposes. Right. Okay, so here's what's happening. We need 3,000% more electricity by 2032 because of AI.

So we're going to have to start rationing electricity if we don't come up with 3000% more electricity. AI is just taking, just gobbling energy. All right. So now Bill Gates and the elites are going to start building nuclear power plants. And we're opening up Three Mile Island. Now, I mean, man, I...

I have to see a chiropractor. This thing swings so fast, my neck. Oh, my God. You get whiplash. So wait, nuclear power is okay for AI, but it's dangerous for everything else? We've been saying nuclear power is the way to go for a very long time, but can't have that. It's the cleanest energy. Can't have that. Why is it being built for AI and not for us? We need to have windmills.

But AI can have nuclear energy. It's insane. It's insane, although it's... I mean, it's so many things here. First of all, it's fascinating as to how stupid the efforts for global warming have been. Yes. Knowing this stuff was around the corner. Yes. The idea that we were trying to save...

3% of our energy by getting extra energy efficient air conditioners or whatever the hell we've been wasting our time with over the past years instead of just saying like let's just get enough energy for everything that everybody needs. Not to mention we have continents

entire continents still to come online in this world. Yes. We need a lot more energy and it's got, it's so ridiculous that we've been talking about this nonsense of cutting by three, five, 6%. It's so stupid when we have to increase by 3000%. And that's just us. Yes. I mean, imagine, you know, there are entire nations like India, Africa, China, Africa as a, as a continent that is largely offline completely. Yeah.

So you have that. Then you have the situation where

In a way, this is exactly what the argument we've been making the entire time. Now, it wasn't associated necessarily directly with AI. The point was, we know we're going to need a lot more energy. Yeah, of course. And we need nuclear to fill that gap. We've been saying that for decades. I mean, Michael Schellenberger did a documentary on CNN when we were like mid-2000s, late 2000s, where he laid that all out in great detail as an environmentalist, as to this is the way we should go.

Every real serious environmentalist has said that. The rest... I mean, this proves the point. They were only trying to collapse economies. They were only trying to restrain the first world countries and collapse them and bring them down. Now that they need nuclear energy, the elites do, now all of a sudden nuclear energy is fine. But for them, not for us, we still need wind power. We still need solar power. I do think, though, if they are able to...

I am highly doubtful that they will get Three Mile Island back online. I'm highly doubtful. I think there'll be all sorts of local opposition there, which is all going to be misguided, by the way. But I will be very surprised if that actually happens. Think of yourself as a local politician in Pennsylvania. I just, I don't know. I don't buy it. But whatever. Maybe it happens.

I hope it does. Money, money, money, money, money, money. I know, but the money's always been there. There's always been money there for nuclear power. Yeah, but now you also have Bill Gates. Yeah, and look. And Google. Look, if the outcome of this is that we get nuclear power and it is something that becomes. But will we get it? Well, I mean, look, the bottom line is this is all going to feed into the grid and we're going to need to, we need a certain amount of power for everybody. Right.

It's not really important who gets that specific power. If that power goes, let's say all the power goes to AI, which is sort of a loose thing, can't really do anyway. But if it did, we'd have more power in other areas. Unless they still continue to cripple the rest. Well, yeah. More importantly, if the stigma of nuclear power goes away and we can build them for everybody else, it's a really positive environment.

Yes, it is. Now, AI might kill us before it happens, but it is a very positive environment. So, yeah, they're talking about fast-tracking these things. It's 30 years at least to be able to build a power plant. You watch. You watch. These things will go up at lightning speed.

But it'll go up for Google and Microsoft and all of the AI companies. You're way more optimistic than I am on this. That's interesting because I just feel like at the end of the day, they're going to try to do this and it's going to fail. No.

Look, I think it's a positive thing. If AI and Bill Gates winds up making nuclear power available to millions of more people. And that's where we disagree. I don't think that's going to happen. I mean, if they made one on their premises and just had it all feeding into them, that means they're not pulling from the grid for other things. So like we would have more energy to deal with on our own. And how fast are we destroying our energy? Yeah, well, very quickly. Yeah.

And we're not even utilizing a lot of it. It's going to be power for me, no power for thee. But we need power to access the, what is the AI doing if they're just using it on their own facilities and we can't turn our computers on? Like we need to be able to access it. Companies need to be able to access it for it to be valuable to them. Yeah. So I don't know. It's just crazy. Let me just ask you this. Mm-hmm.

For people who say that this election is not going to affect them personally, could you please call in today and tell me how much your power bill has gone up in the last four years and the last year? Who has received a power bill for your electricity over the summer? And compare it. How much has it gone up? Just electricity. Let me ask you this. How much has your insurance gone up? Your car insurance?

Your health insurance, remember, you're going to save $5,000 per family. We just get Obamacare in, it's going to say, you haven't saved a dime. It's gone through the roof. Everything has gone through the roof. But as they're cutting the electricity, there's one guy who's saying, the number one thing I'm going to do immediately is get our power back online. It doesn't affect you? Really? This doesn't affect you at all?

of course it does imagine what they're going to go up to if and when when ai really kicks into gear

when we need 3 000 times and we're only able to produce 20 percent more oh three thousand percent more not thirty three thousand times more that would be a lot of yeah but all of this power increase we're going to need to deal with all this new technology and we can if we're lucky get a slight increase in our output if we're lucky they'll be gobbling all of it and i mean it is you're you are truly looking at hunger games kind of scenarios

where the elites and the cities where all the elites live, they'll have the power. You won't. You are really looking at Hunger Games without the game. I mean, well, maybe not. I don't know. They love to kill people. That's the one thing they're really good at. Think about that. No, seriously, think about how good they are at killing people, how hard they're fighting to kill people. It's their number one thing.

Yeah, we got to be able to kill our own babies. What? We got to be able to kill our own babies in the third trimester. That's on nobody's agenda. In fact, how many of us have asked for any of this stuff? Is that high on your agenda? Moms, moms, liberal, liberal women. Is it high on your agenda to be able to terminate in the third trimester? Because that's what they're pushing for.

I don't think anybody wants that. I don't think anybody has been like, you know what? Let's bring in a whole bunch of illegals. Hey, you know what we should do? We should bring the gangs in from Venezuela and then give them all kinds of money. Screw the veterans. Screw our own homeless. Let's give foreigners all our money and then have them overcrowd the schools and the hospitals. Did you vote for that? Because I didn't vote for that.

And you're not going to vote for any of the stuff that's coming your way. This affects you. You will feel it. I think in ways you probably have never felt politics before. You're going to feel it in 2025. One way or another. And we have a candidate who...

Basically won't really tell us if they're for fracking, for example. Totally. No. Well, I mean, I guess she that's the one thing she's actually on record saying she's reversed herself on. She has no reason for it. She has no reason.

No science of global warming has convinced her. But supposedly, because she needs to win Pennsylvania, she has changed her mind on the fracking ban. But not given any explanation on why. If you can't tell me why you changed a lifetime view, you haven't changed that lifetime view. Her record is not silent. But she's silent on almost everything. We're covering energy tonight.

Kamala's radical climate agenda that will bankrupt America. Absolutely bankrupt it. That's tonight at 9 o'clock on Blaze TV. We should also note that she's not giving any...

she's almost stopped flip-flopping and now it's just not answering questions at all about what her policies are. Right. So I don't, I don't know which one's better. The fact that she's just kind of like leaking flip-flops to reporters that never ask any follow-up questions through campaign aides or what she's doing now, which is not even answering. I mean, Alex,

Alex Thompson has been one of the journalists who's been all over this. He's at Axios, I believe. And we will complain about journalists not doing their job. There are a few that are. And Alex Thompson has been one of them. He's no conservative, I don't think, by any means. He's just out there asking actual questions that we should expect from candidates. So he writes, let me just give you a few examples of this. Harris's campaign is declining to say whether she still supports decriminalizing sex work

A position she took in 2019 asked for a brief interview on the topic. The camp didn't respond. Okay. Kind of important, especially if you care about women. Yeah. 2019 Harris pledged a series of executive actions to unilaterally give 2 million dreamers a path to citizenship through parole in place. We asked if she still supported those actions. Her campaign declined to say either way.

Axios asked Harris' campaign whether she was available for a 5-10 minute interview to discuss her position on immigration. A campaign spokesperson declined. Since she ran for DA in 2003, Harris has been an outspoken opponent of the death penalty. We asked if she still is opposed to it and would push for legislation or an executive order to ban it. The campaign didn't respond. Over and over and over and over again.

They have done this. We are now seeing a presidential campaign in which one of the candidates will not tell you what her positions are on the topics of the day. And it is so amazing because you're noticing Donald Trump's positions come more and more clearly every single day. Yeah, he keeps saying he's got a new one every day. It seems like I know. And he's completely fine discussing them. And yet his opponent seemingly has no opinions on anything.

Is that a problem? And I keep saying this because, number one, we should give credit to people like Alex Thompson who are actually doing their job. In a nonpartisan, just normal journalist way, thank God at least one person's doing it. Secondly, it's going to be very frustrating after all of this is over. And we say the media did nothing here. And what will they do?

They will point back to Alex Thompson, who was the one guy who was actually asking these questions, right? They'll act as if, well, the media did cover it. Here's here are these examples. Yes. One person is doing it. This should be a chorus, not just for the country and the good of the nation, but also for the good of journalism going forward. What candidate is going to answer policy questions after this? If you let her slide into the presidency without any policy positions, then

Who the hell is going to give them to you next time? Who is going to say, you know what? Gosh, I did flip flop on that. They're all going to ignore you tonight. I'll show you her opinions on energy.

Let me tell you about real estate agents. I trust dot com. The most common thing that you're apt to say to yourself shortly after starting the process of buying or selling a home was what was I thinking?

What was I thinking? It's a demanding process. In order to do it right, you need a great real estate agent that you can trust. Too often, the real estate agents you come across are mediocre at best. Nothing makes an already frustrating process worse than having to deal with somebody who doesn't take the job seriously. This is why we started realestateagentsitrust.com. This is my business. I can't tell you how many

of five-star reviews we have received, how many happy customers we have received in the last 10 years. The, um,

Let me tell you about Constitution wealth. You can't let your retirement dollars become a weapon against you. And a lot of times this does happen for people because they're, you know, they're voting the way that they believe in. They're at their local school board. They're fighting for everything that they believe in. All of this is going on. They're purchasing the products. They're voiding woke companies. But then their investments, they're just going to have them in a fund and they never look at them.

That's a problem because we're talking about a kind of a major part of your financial portfolio. Who knows what your retirement is? Hopefully it's super high, but if it's invested in companies that are woke and have ESG and DEI and CRT and all that stuff, you're kind of fighting against yourself. Well, that's why Constitution Wealth exists. They came together to say, hey, like, let's let people, let's help people unwind this because they don't want to be supporting these companies.

They share your conservative values, their constitutional values over at Constitution Wealth, and they want to help you avoid all of these companies.

Hello, Gabe. Hey, Glenn. How are you? Very good. How much has your bill gone up? At least 50% over the last three years here in Ohio. So is that a problem? Oh, it's a major problem. You know, taking care of a family of four, it's almost impossible with the cost of energy, the cost of groceries, the cost of gasoline. I know. It's skyrocketed. And we make good money. Do you feel thankful, though, that Sherrod Brown voted for all these bills, making it so much better for you in Ohio? Yeah.

Absolutely not. That's strange. All right. Thank you so much. We're looking. How much has your power bill gone up in the last year? And, you know, since Biden took office, are you better off now? And with the climate czar coming in, how much better is it going to get for you?

Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. There is some new transcripts that are out now that show the truth behind January 6th. It shows who was working towards a problem, who was trying to stop it. You'll never guess which side President Trump was on, right?

Yeah, the exact opposite. Now with quotes, the exact opposite of what Nancy Pelosi and others have said. Also, we're taking your phone calls today. I want to know how much your energy bill has increased. There are people who say this election, you know, I'm not that interested in politics. It doesn't really affect me. Oh, it does.

It does. How much are you paying for car insurance? How much are you now paying for health insurance? How much are you paying for your mortgage or your apartment? How much are you paying for groceries? And how much are you paying for energy?

These are all direct results of this administration's policies. So it does affect you. I want to hear how much your power bill went up in just a couple of minutes. Also, Justin Haskins joins me here. We got interrupted yesterday with one of my thoughts. I had to express some things to you. So yesterday he was on the program and we were talking about what the United Nations did over the weekend.

We haven't gotten to some of the good parts, or as we would say, really, really bad parts of what the UN wants. We'll go there in 60 seconds. First, we must be the change we want to see in society. We celebrated when Roe versus Wade was overturned, but the national stain of abortion continues and it is getting worse. Preborn is the country's largest pro-life organization. And they are...

They're out there leading the charge to put an end to abortion. Every day, they sponsor free ultrasounds for women, as well as providing help for up to two years after the baby is born. When a mom sees her unborn child on that monitor, when she hears that heartbeat, she's twice as likely to consider choosing life for her baby. Preborn is saving 200 babies a day with help from people just like you and me.

If you had the means, would you consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way? Your tax-deductible donation of $15,000 will place an ultrasound machine in a needy woman's center, saving countless babies for years to come. Donate. Hit pound 250. Say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Keyword baby. Or donate securely at preborn.com slash Beck. Sponsored by Preborn.

Justin Haskins joins us now. He's the co-author of Dark Future, also The Great Reset, and my co-author on the latest book that is coming out in just a few weeks, I think about three weeks, called Propaganda Wars. You can order it now at Amazon or wherever you get your books. Propaganda Wars. We'll tell you about that coming up in a minute. Justin, first, I want to finish what we were talking about yesterday, the pact for the future.

What this agreement means to our future and how they are tying the world together, especially with farming, with climate, with energy, all of the things that we actually need. They are now making sure that it's the government's way or the highway. Correct?

Yeah, that's 100 percent right. And, you know, there's been a lot of talk this morning about Kamala Harris's energy policies and what the Biden-Harris administration, their sudden reversal on fracking and all of this stuff. Well, let's just put all that to rest right now.

the Biden-Harris administration just agreed to the Pact for the Future, this new agreement from the United Nations. They signed up for it. I'm going to read to you a quote that comes from that agreement that they just signed up for and that the Secretary of State just went up and gave a big speech and talked about how wonderful it was. And Joe Biden gave a speech at the UN. Nobody said anything about protecting fracking there. This is a quote that comes from the agreement that we've signed up for. It says, nevermind.

Member nations are accelerating efforts, they're agreeing to accelerate efforts globally towards net zero emissions energy systems. Obviously, natural gas, which is why you do fracking, produces emissions, carbon dioxide emissions. Utilizing zero and low carbon fuels, and then it says transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, accelerating action in this critical decade.

Decade.

Before 2030 is what we're talking about here. So none of this makes any sense with fracking. You can't have any of this with fracking. Fracking is taking natural gas out of the ground. There's no reason to have fracking if you're accelerating action in this critical decade to transitioning away from fossil fuels and energy systems. That's the whole point. So there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever what the policies are.

for the Biden-Harris administration, for Kamala Harris. It's getting rid of fracking. So no doubt about that at all. But this is not the only radical thing that's in Pact for the Future related to energy. Again, something that has just passed in the U.N. this last weekend, and we did not vote, we did not voice any opposition to this. We are fine, and we signed on for all of this.

Yeah, that's exactly right. We, in fact, openly promoted it and said that we supported it, our government. Other crazy things, and there are many things in here that are crazy. There's a commitment to, quote, promote sustainable consumption and production patterns. Sustainable consumption, that means you, America, listening right now, including sustainable lifestyles.

Well, what does that mean? That means don't live in a big house. That means don't buy that gas guzzling car. That means change the way you purchase, change the way you live. That's the whole point of what they're saying here. They also have a commitment to, quote, halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. Well, how can you have an expanding human population that

and reverse biodiversity loss. Biodiversity, that means not just animals. We're not just talking about endangered species. We're talking about plants. We're talking about trees.

We're talking about just land use in general. Reducing land use. Yep. Everything is tied into that. There's also restrictions on land and water use in this. So there's no question whatsoever. This is radical, radical climate policies. It's dramatically going to increase the cost of everything. The reason why we have the modern age is because of affordable energy. Follow

fossil fuels has brought the modernity to the world. And without affordable energy, you simply can't live the lifestyle that we've been living. And we know that that's true. And the left knows that's true. And they talk about it all the time behind closed doors. And that's one of the big reasons why they're pushing for Pax for the future. And this is all something that Kamala Harris believes in. You know, we were talking earlier, Justin, in the podcast about nuclear energy and

how Bill Gates is going to start building nuclear power plants, how Google is needing to build power plants, how they are going to start to bring and build power plants online, nuclear. And that was unheard of. I mean, we couldn't do that. It's the cleanest energy you can find online.

But we couldn't do that until we found out that we needed 3,000% more electricity by 2032 because of AI. And that number is just going to keep going up and up and up and up. But I really don't believe that those power plants are going to be used for us. I think those power plants are going to be strictly for AI and the elites, and we will continue to...

you know, destroy our energy for the regular person. I think we're headed towards, you know, District 10 and the capital city.

Yeah, I think that's clearly the plan. There's no question about it. The left has been very clear. The elitist left has been very clear about what they want. They want to make sure that they have lots and lots of power generation for artificial intelligence and emerging technologies because their entire plan for the future is built around AI. That's something we talk about in propaganda wars.

It's something we talked about a lot in our book, Dark Future. This is very well documented. Did you hear that Microsoft is, I was told this yesterday, that Microsoft is working to get Three Mile Island back up and running? Yeah. I think they'll do it.

I think they'll do it. I think they will, too. They desperately need it. BlackRock is now suddenly in favor of nuclear energy, all because of artificial intelligence. And they're very explicit about that. But the rest of us, no, we need to live sustainable consumption. We need to live through sustainable consumption and production patterns. That's what we need to do is improve that and live a sustainable lifestyle. That's what they have.

It's not the energy-rich future that we've been promised for all of these years. It's really strange how the elites can just bend the rules, change the facts, just go the opposite direction whenever they want without even asking or considering us. Look at what they're doing. They're bringing in a foreign leader.

species of life. That's really what this is. This is an alien life form in AI. We have no idea if it will hurt us, kill us, or save us. We have no idea.

We don't even know how it works, but we're just moving forward. And they didn't ask us, hey, do you want to live in a world where nobody will really work? You'll just have nothing but leisure time, but you're going to have to downscale your life and you really won't have any purpose. You'll just have to find your purpose. And by the way, the experts say the best way to deal with society is to drug them and keep them engaged in gaming and

I didn't ask for any of that. And yet they're just moving forward with it. I didn't ask for anything that they are offering right now. And I don't know anybody that said, you know, that sounds like a great world. That sounds like a real upgrade. That sounds like progress. Yeah. Well, this is why they need to make sure that they have...

total control over artificial intelligence in the future. And that was a big part of the Summit for the Future as well. As we talked about yesterday, the Global Digital Compact part of the Summit for the Future talked about how the UN needs to expand all these public-private partnerships with big tech companies, create a global governance, those are the words they used for artificial intelligence, to make sure that it has the right values and is

promoting the sustainable development goals. That's code for agenda 2030. They're openly saying what they're going to do with AI. They need to make sure that they don't have a repeat of what happened with the internet. If

If they could go back in time when the Internet was first being rolled out, like we have now with AI, and they could write the rules for the Internet, they would absolutely write the rules for the Internet in a completely authoritarian way. We know that because that's what they're trying to do now. But it's too late. They can't stuff that genie back in the bottle. So they're making sure the next wave of

of emerging technologies has those values built into it. And so there's no question that this is the future that's headed our way.

There are a couple of other things that I wanted to get to on Pax for the Future that I think are incredibly important. One of them is something that has gotten absolutely no attention, Glenn, and it is such a great example of propaganda. It is unbelievable. So one of the goals that the UN has been talking about for a while is to change the way people think about propaganda.

economic growth at the national level and how do we measure our different economies and whether economies are doing badly or whatever, right? How do we know how good an economy is? And what they've decided is they really don't like GDP.

GDP is the thing that's being used all the time and all these national international reports and everything. They don't like GDP because it doesn't capture the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. This is a direct quote, by the way. So what they want to do is make sure.

That they have a measurement for economies that's being used in all these future agreements and government reports and everything that captures all of that ESG type stuff. Right. Social and environmental dimension, sustainable development. Right. So what they've decided to do is they're going to develop one. They're going to develop a whole new metric for measuring economies.

internationally. They're going to establish an independent high-level expert group to develop recommendations for a limited number of country-owned and universally applicable indicators of sustainable development that go beyond gross domestic product. Okay, so this is something that came out of this PAC for the future. Now,

What this is essentially is a national ESG system, international ESG system at the nationwide level. So the United States of America would have its own ESG score that intermingles economic metrics with ESG metrics, and that will be how we measure economic progress. So what's incredibly diabolical and ingenious about this is that

if things are going badly economically under a left-wing administration, like it is right now, when you add in the ESG metrics into the equation, it won't look like things are going badly because look at all the sustainable development we're doing and all the battling of climate change. That's pretty much what they're doing without saying ESG. They're saying, you know, we're changing everything and, you know, it's going really well.

And the average person is saying, no, it's not going well for me. Well, you don't understand. You

You don't understand all the ESG stuff that is going on right now. Justin, thank you so much for checking in.

Let me go to Joan in Connecticut. We're talking about your energy bill and how much has it gone up in the last year, in the last four years? Are you better off than you were under Donald Trump? Hi, Joan.

Well, we're certainly not better off. Our utility bill has gone up approximately $100 a month, but the worst part, this wonderful blue state of Connecticut has voted to add a public benefits to everyone's UI bill. So everybody is charged

upwards of 17% of their total bill. And the UI is required to collect this. And this is for people who can't or do not want to pay their bills and also for the future investment in electric vehicles. That is amazing.

It is. And the Republican House has tried to call a special session with our wonderful Governor Lamont, and he refuses to do so. Yeah, yeah. There's one solution for Connecticut, and that is move. That's really the only solution for Connecticut. We did it, and you can too. You can too. Mark in Pennsylvania. Hello, Mark. Tell me about your electric bill. Hey, good day, Glenn. How are you? Very good.

Okay, my electric bill went from 180 to about the last electric bill I paid was 380. You asked about car insurance. I have a 2020 truck. My wife, we just bought her a new Jeep this year. We have a clean record and we're paying $388 a month. What was it? What was what? What was your insurance?

Uh, it was about two and a quarter, two and a quarter, two and a quarter. Uh, uh, but you don't feel it, right? I mean, Oh no, I don't. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Jerry in Michigan. Hello, Jerry. Hey Glenn. Hey, uh, uh, I'd say 20 year call a 20 year listener. First time caller. Uh, thank you.

Yeah. I wish I could be calling under better circumstances, but I just had a good note. Somebody has taught me to deal with things pretty well. I've just got rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls of duct tape just all over my head. Right. Yeah. Tell me about your utility bill.

So everything has just gone straight to the roof. Electric bill went from about $100 a month back around 2021 or so up to about $200 now. Car insurance is just ridiculous. For the longest time, Michigan always had the reputation of having the most expensive car insurance in the country. Yeah, yeah.

and about a year or two ago, I know the state government went through and they passed a resolution to, oh, we're going to fix this problem and save on car insurance. Well, I've got two cars. Both of them are really old. One of them I really don't even drive. I'm just a car nut, and it's just

pretty much a project car but uh bottom of the barrel insurance I went from about 75 a month in 2021 to about it's about 300 a month now in 2024 and my wages aren't keeping up so do you so do you think that this uh election affects the average person

Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. Thank you very much, Jerry. That is the point of this for anybody who says, you know, I don't really follow politics. Nothing ever changes. Something big has changed and it's got to go back the other way. Glenn Beck.

Truth on January 6th. Next. Later on in the program, if we have time, if you are watching the broadcast now, you see the new dog, O2. O2 is...

There is a laser. It has a laser. I mean, we'll show it later on. This is a day, either today or tomorrow, this is a day you have to have the Blaze to watch the robot dog.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, a little scary, isn't it? It's terrifying. If I came up to your property and that thing greeted me, I would definitely turn around and go the other way. Good, good. Good boy, O2. You got the one we didn't want on the property. Go for you. All right. We have Representative Barry Loudermilk with us.

He is going to talk to us a little bit about the newly released transcripts from January 6th and the transcripts that show what Donald Trump said in the days leading up to January 6th, urging the Pentagon to take extra security measures to keep January 6th safe, and they didn't do it. Representative from Georgia, Barry Loudermilk. Barry, how are you? Good, Glenn. Appreciate you having me on again. You bet. So...

Tell me what this is actually showing us, because it's not just if I may read the president what he said. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the six. Make sure that you have a sufficient National Guard or soldiers to make sure it's a safe event. I don't care if you use guard or soldiers, active duty soldiers. Do what you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. That's what the president said leading up.

And yes, go ahead. And that was a sworn testimony by General Milley to the Department of Defense Inspector General. And that conversation happened on January 3rd, three days leading up to January 6th. And when did he testify to that?

He testified to that. It would have been later in 2021 to the Department of Defense inspector general. Now, what got us in this direction is we were investigating the two delays of National Guard coming to the Capitol. There was the first delay because U.S. Capitol Police chief son signed.

He sensed the same thing the president did. There's going to be a lot of people here. We're in the middle of COVID. A lot of the Capitol Police officers are being quarantined or they're sick. He didn't have a full force. He wanted some additional forces and requested DC National Guard. Now, that requires an official request for the DC National Guard because the president can't just deploy military forces without a request, a separation of powers issue. Under

Under current law, that had to come from the Capitol Police Board, which pretty much Pelosi is going to be involved in that decision making. But for whatever reason, his request was denied internally within Congress. So he had made a request. Even on to January 6th, he had made requests like when the outer perimeters were breached, he wanted National Guard. That was denied. That was denied. Finally, when shots were fired in the Capitol, the Democrats were like, well, we need help.

At 2.30, the formal request was made to the Pentagon, send the troops. Now, we already know, as you just brought up, that President Trump had ordered the National Guard to be ready for deployment. That was the order. That's what General Milley said.

And we know that they took that seriously because the national guard on January 6th was mustered at the armory less than two miles away from the Capitol with riot gear ready to deploy. They were already there. So we know that somebody took that seriously. So, but from 2 30, when the request was made, there was about a three hour delay before the order was given for the

for the National Guard to deploy. That's what we started looking into. Now, the IG started looking into that as well, the Department of Defense IG. Their report was the National Guard wasn't ready.

That's why they didn't go. It was National Guard's fault. Well, we started having senior officers and enlisted members from the National Guard coming to us as whistleblowers saying, that isn't at all what happened. So we started launching an investigation into the DODIG report. And after this has been months and months of battle with the Department of Defense, quite frankly, that's the 800-pound gorilla in this town. I didn't think we were going to get anywhere. But Providence,

Something broke loose and they provided us all the evidence that they had acquired the DODIG in their investigation, which was 44 transcribed interviews under oath. When we got those, we realized this was a huge coverup.

Because they were purposefully, the National Guard was purposefully delayed by the Pentagon. They did not want the National Guard here. They didn't like the optics. Some were, but that was most of, nobody liked the optics, but we didn't have senior officials who were saying, my ultimate plan was to make sure the National Guard never got anywhere close to the Capitol. Jeez.

So tell me about Christopher Miller, because if I'm reading this right, he was the acting secretary of defense. He said the president commented that they were going to need 10,000 troops the following day. I interpreted it as a bit of presidential banter or President Trump banter that you're all familiar with. And in no way, shape or form did I interpret that as an order or direction, right?

On January 6th, everyone was like, did you hear the president's speech? I'm like, the guy speaks for 90 minutes. It's like Castro or something. No, I got work to do. I was cognizant of the fears that the president would invoke the Insurrection Act to politicize the military in an anti-democratic manner.

And just before the Electoral College certification, 10 former secretaries of defense signed an op ed piece published in The Washington Post warning of the dangers of politicizing and using inappropriately the military. Nothing like that was going to occur on my watch.

That's correct. And that was testimony that he gave to the Department of Defense IG under oath. And what he's talking about is Liz Cheney kind of orchestrated in advance an op-ed by former defense officials, basically setting a stage. You know, they were afraid that Trump was going to come out and try to use the military to stop the count. There is nothing that...

any evidence that we have obtained or that we can find anywhere to indicate that that was in his mindset. But as I said earlier, someone took what,

Trump said, as serious because the National Guard had already been recalled. They were mustered. They were ready to go in the morning of January 6th. In fact, when the general commanding the D.C. National Guard finally was shown that statement that Trump made to General Milley,

He said, I would have taken that as a direct order. Politics and your political belief should never be a factor involved when it comes to safety and security. And I would also counter this. If they were afraid that there was an act of insurrection that was going to take place and they saw the violence going on at the Capitol that day,

And that was an act of insurrection. They participated in it by holding back the very troops that could quell it. And, you know, there's one thing about taking an order that is constitutional and one that is not. So, in other words, if he said, look, there's going to be a possible riot. We need 10,000 troops there. Let's make sure the Capitol is safe.

Okay, well, I'm worried that he's going to use those troops for something else. No.

Because the military has to execute what the president says unless it's an unlawful order. Then it is their responsibility to not say, well, I was just following orders. In our country, you don't have that excuse. So if it was an unconstitutional order, the Pentagon could have stopped it, correct? Right. Instead, they were just subordinate, right?

Right? Is that the right word? Not only... I think that's right. It's subordination, but also premeditated. Yes. I think there's a case to be made that this was premeditated because on January the 5th, the Secretary of the Army...

revised or sent a memo to General Walker, who is the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, and placed greater restrictions on him on when he can deploy and how. I mean, they even restricted you can't be armed.

Okay, it's all kind of restrictions. But basically what he said is you cannot deploy without my express permission that I have to give you the order. And that was unprecedented. That was the day before. So basically General Walker's in the situation where if President Trump called him directly,

and said, get over there. And the Secretary of the Army didn't tell him he would be in subordination. So there were greater restrictions placed on the D.C. National Guard, which to me shows some kind of premeditation. Maybe it was fear that Trump was going to go rogue or whatever, but he's still the commander-in-chief. And the request was to get National Guard there to help keep the Capitol safe, not to participate in anything, but to help keep it safe. You can't...

You can't convict somebody of future crimes. You know, you can't say, well, this is what he intended. No. What he said as the commander in chief is keep the Capitol safe. Now, if he would have said, you know what? Go in and tell Congress they are going to know, Mr. President, that's unconstitutional. I will not give that order.

And if he got on TV and said, you know, I'm telling them now to go in, the American people would not have been with him. They wouldn't have been with him. Right. No, not at all. But there's so many angles to this here. One is how did the DODIG...

out of all this exact same evidence that we're looking at, how did they come up with a report that it was the National Guard that was the problem? I'm still getting my head wrapped around this. There is no way you could come up with that conclusion unless you're just trying to cover for people who did things they shouldn't do, senior officers, senior civilians within the Department of Defense. And so we're asking of the Department of Defense IG,

How can this be? And when are you going to correct this? Of course, their response is we don't see any need to correct. But we have now made all this public. People can make this decision for themselves. I've said from the beginning, I'm coming to this from an unbiased opinion. We're going to just get the facts out there and let the facts speak for themselves. And there's another angle to this that's a problem. There are there are senior executives.

executive level folks in the DOD that testified

one thing to the Department of Defense IG, but testify differently to the select committee on January 6th. They shall go to jail. They're under oath. And so this is something that we're starting to look at now, doing a side-by-side comparison. Did their story change? Did they have a better understanding? Or was it that they were confident that their testimonies to DOD IG would never make it outside of the IG? Unbelievable. So

It's just more layers of the story, the corruption and the coverups that have happened regarding January 6th. Because as it comes down to it, the select committee on January 6th had a predetermined narrative. They had, before they started it all, Nancy Pelosi had already set what their final report was going to say. And they were going to collect evidence to support it. And as we've talked on this show before, any evidence that didn't support it or actually told a different story

They suppressed, they hid, or they deleted. And fortunately, we've been able to recover most of that. Congressman Barry Loudermilk from the great state of Georgia, thank you so much for this. I want to just reiterate one more thing. This is the quote. Anybody who wants to talk about January 6th, this is the quote, and you can get it from the House Subcommittee on Oversight.

This is the quote from Donald Trump the day before. Hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th. Make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or soldiers to make sure it's a safe event. I don't care if you use guard soldiers, active duty soldiers. Do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. End quote. Donald Trump, January 5th. That should close the case on insurrection.

That's the truth. Back in a minute. Self-defense is often all about leveling the playing field, and that's why carrying a firearm is such an important thing. It is the ultimate equalizer, and that's a very good thing. It's one of the reasons why the Second Amendment is so incredibly important. But sometimes there is a way to level the playing field that doesn't include you having to spend the night in jail. Because if you shoot someone, you are going to go to jail, even if it's in self-defense, especially if you don't live someplace like Texas.

There are times when it is appropriate to protect yourself and your family with non-lethal means, and that's where the Burna Launcher comes in. I have the Burna Launcher in my car. My family has it in their car. It's a great complement to your firearms. There are situations, quite a few actually, where less lethal is the way to go, and Burna...

is the best alternative to deadly force. The Burna Launcher. Powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range that can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. Burna.

That's huge. Huge story. Because the narrative is that, and this shows up in polling, one of the big issues for Donald Trump is he's... An insurrectionist. Not a friend to democracy, right? And this has been something they've pushed nonstop for four years. The fact that he was...

on record by one of his opponents, not a friend. No, General Milley did not like Donald Trump. This is someone who hates Donald Trump and thinks Donald Trump is terrible.

I mean, can you get the quote again? I don't think enough people noticed this. Milley testified January 3rd. The president said, hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th. Make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or soldiers to make sure it's a safe event. I don't care if you use the Guard or soldiers, active duty soldiers. Do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. End quote.

That's remarkable. I mean, that pushes back against the idea that he wanted to overthrow the government and all of this other nonsense. And yet I feel like we haven't heard this at all. No, well, it just came out, I think, last week, week before last. So it's just come out. But, of course, nobody's going to carry this water. Donald Trump should be leading with this.

The Glenn Beck Program. Let me tell you about UpPhone. This is the phone that I have. I'm very excited about this sponsor. I don't like to carry phones, but this has a privacy level that other big tech companies will not offer. Now, the government can always get into your phone. Your privacy, however, is a constitutional right, and that means all the information that you're carrying around in that computer in your pocket, that doesn't belong to any business, any government company.

No predator wanting to sell it. It belongs to you. It should not ever be shared. The Up Phone is built like a digital fortress. It doesn't exist in either the Apple or Google mobile ecosystems. First of all, it comes with its own operating system and app store, its own messenger, which you can use to make end-to-end encrypted calls, video calls, send files, photos. It has secure chat groups and a VPN and antivirus.

You have been monitored and surveilled and exploited by big tech for far too long. It's got to stop now, and it does with UpPhone. Find out more. Visit unplugged.com slash Glenn. That's unplugged.com slash Glenn. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program. Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. So, earlier today, I told you in the beginning of this podcast that there was new surveys out from Berna Research. And Berna is very good at doing research on religious people. And so they...

They found the number of people that are voting, and they found that that number now is about 50% of people who say they're religious. Only 50%. And Stu and I were talking about it, and I said, you know, there's a religious responsibility. I mean, we are responsible for choosing righteous leaders. And too many people are like, well, I mean, if my pastor or my priest said that,

17% of the Christians that don't vote would vote. 17%. That would change everything, especially if they were voting with the scriptures.

I wanted to get Max Lucado on because I think that's true, but I can't quote it. And I wanted to see if Max can verify that we do have a religious responsibility to go out and vote. Also want to talk to him a little bit about what happens next. He's the author of that book. We did a podcast, I don't know, last week or a couple of weeks ago. And it's all about religion.

End of days. It's a fascinating conversation. Max Lucado joins me in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. You know the old saying, if everybody was jumping on a cliff, would you do it too? I guess not.

Leftists are leading the charge to run the entire country off the cliff. And unfortunately, too many Americans are running right along, headlong to join them. One of the primary ways we do this and turn around and stop people or try to wake them up before they jump off that cliff is to support businesses that

contribute to waking people up and standing guard of that cliff. Right now, we're supporting big businesses that contribute to the leftist causes. Big Mobile is a part of this, and when you're signed up with them, you are helping run people over the cliff. Patriot Mobile, however, shares your values, won't send any of your hard-earned money to hogtie and drag people over that cliff.

We are going to get the same nationwide service when you sign up for Patriot Mobile. You'll support a company that loves America. And when you make the switch, you're also going to get a whole month for free. They're America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company. So go to patriotmobile.com slash Beck right now or call them at 972-PATRIOT. Get your free month of service today. 972-PATRIOT. Patriotmobile.com slash Beck.

My good friend, Max Lucado. Hi, Max. How are you? Hello, Glenn. I love the idea of supporting these businesses that support our values. Way to go. I was unaware of the one you just announced. I'm going to check that out. Thank you. Dude, they're really good people, Max. You'd love them. So, Max, let's start with a question that I had this morning. Aren't we required...

as followers of Christ and, you know, even the God of the Old Testament, to vote and select leaders?

Absolutely. Absolutely. And on so many different levels. But my go-to passage on this question, and by the way, thank you for letting me have just a couple of moments to remind everybody that we are called as believers to support our government in

in the most direct teaching on this topic is in the book of Romans, chapter 13, which is important to read in the context of Paul writing a church that was a minority in society and also in

a culture that oppressed believers okay so with that in mind listen to what he says he says every person must submit to and support the authorities over him then he says there can be no authority in the universe except by God's appointment we

which means that every authority that exists has been instituted by God. Now, that's an interesting scripture. But I think what he's saying here, Glenn, is that God is sovereign.

and whether you like or don't like the person in charge god is still in control then later he says those in authority are god's servants and then he says uh this is the reason you pay your taxes that's verse 6 of romans 13 you pay your taxes now he doesn't say this is the reason you vote but he could have the

That's civic duty, right? And so I think what he's reminding us to do is that if we live in a culture, we have a role in supporting and directing the health of that culture. And certainly that would include voting. So, and Max, you can stop me at any time. I don't know how far down this road you want to go. But there are people that will say, well, I can't vote for Donald Trump because he's

He's done all these bad things and, you know, whatever they're convinced of. And, you know, I don't like the way he talks. I don't like the way he has treated women or whatever. How do you talk to somebody if—because he does represent a much more biblical agenda, right?

than the other side, and the other side is looking at things that just go against the scriptures like crazy. How do you talk to people when you say, well, I don't like either of them?

I get it. I get it. My response would be twofold. Number one, I would say go talk to somebody who has lost a loved one in military service or talk to somebody who has served overseas in an international conflict and go tell them that you don't want to vote.

You know, I've never shed blood for our country. I never was called into military service, but I hold in highest regard those who have.

And I think the least I can do for them, even if I'm struggling on finding a candidate, the least I can do for them is my patriotic call, and that is to vote. And then secondly, I might say, could you go with me and pick out any number of countries, Glenn, Venezuela,

Cuba, parts of Eastern Europe, Russia. Let's go over there and let's talk to those people who never have had a chance

to express their opinion. And let's tell them that since we don't like our candidates, we're just not going to vote at all. And see what they say to us. They would say, oh, I would love just to have a voice, a vote. So I get it. I get it. It's sometimes very difficult to land on a candidate that represents your values. But I think it's worth it to give it a go. Yeah.

So how do you, if you're just going to go off of, you know, your faith and

And it's not just that you don't like it. You think that they're both offensive to your faith. I know people who think, I can't vote for him and I can't vote for her. How do you decide in that case? What scriptures would you point us to that could help you decide? Like, what values are we looking for?

So my recommendation would be to, number one, choose to vote. Choose to vote. Then my recommendation number two would be to make a list of the values, I love you're using that word, that

your heart. If you're, and weight them, weight them, make a list of your values, abortion, immigration, economy. I'm not trying to urge people in our conversation to vote a certain way. What I'm saying is you make a list of the values that you sense the Lord has placed a burden on your heart for and

And all of ours won't wait to do this. Somebody may say mine is 90% pro-life. Wonderful. God bless you. I can relate to that. I would say probably the same for me. Others might say mine is 60% pro-life, 40% let's treat immigration with a better life.

Okay. So I'm just saying, make a list of the values that matter to you, weight them, and then say, I'm going to find the candidate that best reflects my values and

And as a pastor, I've never felt comfortable telling people how to vote, but I have felt comfortable in telling people, weight your values when you study Scripture as a follower of God, as a lover of Christ. What matters to you? Because the Holy Spirit lives in you.

And he will help you. He will guide you. There was, I don't think there will ever come a time that we have one candidate that reflects us 100%. But certainly we can find one candidate that represents us at least 51% and go in that direction. What if your value, one of your main values is honesty and integrity? Mm-hmm.

The same thing. Same thing. It's tough, brother. And I'm very sympathetic. I still don't think that excuses us from not voting, though. I just don't think so. It's a civic duty. It's a privilege that people have died for. And I don't I'm not trying to be overdramatic, but if

I need to be overdramatic, I will. I mean, people have shed their blood for Max Locato to have this privilege. So I can't back out of it. I can't. I need to step into it. And if it's basically leaning a certain direction, then lean in that way. If you've got to hold your nose when you step into the voting booth, hold your nose. But just do it, you know.

I think that's our call. So, Max, I've known you for a long time, and I just love you. And I know you as a very positive guy. And I'm not one that... I didn't expect you to write the book, What Happens Next. And that's all about...

the signs of the end times and what all of that means. And why did you decide to write that now? Yeah, it's just what we're seeing in the world in today's headlines only about Israel and Hezbollah, only a

that something is happening that's unique in our day and age. Scripture speaks that in the end times, Israel will be surrounded by enemies, and there will be a great conflict for the land of Israel. So that's just one thing that I see. In the book, I list a variety of things, but even today's headlines are convincing me that we're not just in the end times, but that we're in the end of end times.

I do not think we should be scared. We're not in tribulation. No, sir, we're not in tribulation. Yeah, okay, we're just headed that direction. Yes, sir. It's my belief that Christ will come for his church before the tribulation. I know there are others who say we will endure that tribulation. That's a good, robust conversation. But I do believe that the Lord is sovereign, and I do believe we need to pay close attention to these signs because they're unlike anything else

Ever since May 8, 1948, when Israel became a nation, we entered a new chapter. A clock. A new chapter in human history. Yeah. So we've just got to pay attention. So, Max, could you hold on just for a second? I've got to do a one-minute commercial. I'd like to come back and just, would you define the tribulation for people who don't know and what that's like, along with all of the hope that comes with it? I mean...

I have great hope because I believe we are in those days. And my perspective is what an honor it is to live at this time. What a, what an honor it is to stand at this time. But it'll, it can really scare people and, and it shouldn't. And I'd like you to just to explain what it is and why it shouldn't scare people in 60 seconds. First.

I want to tell you about U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator First Class Christopher Chambers. He's an American hero, enlisted in the Navy, later graduated from SEAL training. Tragically, at the age of 37, he was killed in a line of duty while conducting a nighttime raid on a ship belonging to the Houthi forces in Yemen.

Tunneled Towers Foundation immediately stepped up to the plate for Christopher's wife and young daughter, providing them with a free home, a mortgage-free home, because that's what they do. They help America's heroes and their families. The foundation honors the legacy of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice or who've been catastrophically injured while serving our country and our communities.

Tunnel to Towers. They're also fighting homelessness among our veterans because our government's not doing it. We have to. You want our government to do less? Then we have to do more. Help our heroes who protect our freedoms from the police officers to the soldiers. Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers. And that is T, the number two, T.org. T2T.org. Donate now. 10 seconds. Station ID.

So, Max, tell me what the tribulation is and how do we know when we enter it? My best take on Scripture, Glenn, says that the tribulation is a seven-year period.

that will occur after Christ has come for his church. Christ will come for his church in an event that's called the rapture, and he will rescue his church. And the sudden disappearance of millions, maybe billions, of God-fearing, tax-paying, government-respecting believers will trigger a time of chaos and

And during this time of chaos, a world leader, Scripture calls him the Antichrist, will step forth and negotiate a peace treaty with Israel. The world will calm down. Midway through that peace treaty, he will break it, and the world will spin into chaos.

And then that period will last another three and a half years. It's a seven-year period. It's prophesied in the book of Daniel. I believe it's described in the book of Revelation. Now, the good news is for believers, I really don't believe we'll be here for that. I believe that God will do for us what I did for my kids on 9-11. I went to the school, and I took them out of school, and I brought them home because in case something was happening, I wanted them to be with me.

I believe that's what Christ will do for. Wow. I want to believe that so badly. I really hope you're right. I hope you're right.

Well, it won't last forever. And even during the tribulation, there'll be a great revival. People will turn to Christ and there will be people from every tongue, tribe and language worshiping Christ. But this is the time of salvation right now. This is the time to make sure your heart is right with God, that you're saved through Christ and not to live in fear, but do live in faith, not

knowing that God has everything under control. Yeah, I've kind of come to the conclusion here very recently that if you're doing something that doesn't have an eternal consequence, why are you doing it? And the other thing is that you won't be able to survive without the Spirit. It's going to get very, very dicey. Even the very elect will be confused and lost along the way. It's going to get very foggy.

And you really have to be close to the Spirit or you will get lost. And there's going to be a lot of people that are on the other side that shouldn't be there. They just weren't prepared. Absolutely. Jesus said that in the end times, men's hearts will fail them because of fear.

Well, that's what we're seeing right now. Anxiety is off the charts. The suicide rate is the highest it's been since World War II. People's hearts are failing them for fear, especially young people who are battling anxiety like never before. It's an anxious time. When it says men's hearts will fail them, is that also interpreted to you as they just won't have the courage to stand up?

Absolutely. They'll just check out. Get bitter, maybe suicidal. Turn to anything like alcohol or drugs to anesthetize the fear and the anxiety that they feel. And it's a scary time we're in, and I don't think it's going to get better. I think we're going to have an intense time of struggle.

before Christ comes for his people. And then those who are left behind will face an even more intense time. But ultimately, we need to remember this time on earth is just a speck compared to our eternal existence in the presence of a good and loving God in heaven. And God didn't tell us—we only have about 90 seconds—God didn't tell us these things to freak us out.

He told us so we wouldn't be afraid, so we'd recognize the signs. And that's why he put a timetable. He tells us exactly how many days, how many years that whole thing lasts, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. When I was a kid, my dad used to drive us from West Texas to Colorado, and he would always say, now remember, when you get in the mountains, your ears are going to pop.

I think he didn't want us to freak out. And when we got to the mountains, our ears did pop. And we weren't freaked out because he told us what to expect. Our Heavenly Father has told us what to expect. He loves us that much. And so let's trust him. Let's move forward in faith, not fear.

Max, it is always so good to talk to you. I just love you so much. Oh, thank you for the privilege. Love you too, Glenn. You bet. Thanks. Thanks, Max. Max Licato, he has a new book out called What Happens Next. You can go find my interview with him either on blazetv.com slash Glenn, or you can find this one on YouTube now as well. I think it was last week or the week before. But we talk about the end times, what to watch for,

And he's just he is really well spoken and not one of those freaky preachers. And, you know, doesn't say, I know it's coming. But I think, I mean, for a guy who's never, ever talked about it before because he never felt compelled to. I think that's something you should listen to. Listen to a judge for yourself. It's up to each of us.

You will choose consciously who you serve or the choice will be made for you. And that won't be the right choice. So when your family sits down to the dinner table, what kind of meat is put in front of the plates right in front of them? Is it really good, delicious, high quality meat that comes from animals raised here in America? Is it good, American and affordable?

It's going to continue to do that. But if not, maybe it's time you started getting your meat from a better source. Personally, I recommend Good Ranchers.

Nearly every American, every American mind in the 1700s, it should have been a massive failure because that's what everybody said. But here we are 248 years later. But if there was one moment in history that truly shook the pillars of tyrants, it wasn't July 4th, 1776. It was December 15th, 1791. That was the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights.

And chief among them, the part that to this day is the source of stomach ulcers for the authoritarian mind, is right at the top of that.

I mean...

It brings no surprise at all after even the slightest examination of life in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's America that the most grievous assaults by our federal government are abridgements to every single point in the First Amendment. Every one of them. They've weaponized every line. They've tested our resolve.

They told us to stay home and close our churches. They canceled our words or censored them on television, radio, and online. They pick and choose who could protest and who couldn't. They arrested grandmothers. They raided the homes of the elderly. What they feel they can do, they will do. And what they feel is a bit too risky, they go around and do it anyway.

America is not a free country. It's not a country really at all. If the right to speak freely is taken away, and tyrants know this, tyrannical leaders are depending on it. And they're also depending on us not standing up and saying anything about it. You will be silent. You will obey. And you'll be lost in the distraction as the regime turns what used to be the free press into agents of the state. The tyranny of the majority.

The people have been gradually propagandized and it's been done properly. And they will get the appearance of the full access of information, but it won't be. It will be regime-approved messaging. But it won't matter to them, anyway. Large metropolitan voters in places like

New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Boston. They'll dictate the lives of those trapped in middle America. Farmers and ranchers who will have their daily lives dictated to them by stockbrokers and advertising tycoons on the coasts. And how does this ultimately happen? Well, knowledge is power. And if you're one of the unlucky ones stranded in one of those undesirable locations...

Information will be long forgotten as a concept, something that that used to be, but is now gone. Just one of those things you can kind of remember existing at one point. You'll think back to the times long past with a vague recollection of a time when the government went absolutely insane and weaponized everything against its own people.

You'd remember last Friday when the FCC suddenly, without any warning nor explanation, decided to delay the rollout of Internet to rural communities. That was one of the big things in the Biden agenda. Why would they do this just weeks before possibly the most pivotal election in modern history? Why would they do that?

The FCC commissioner, Brendan Carr, called it, quote, the worst abuse of agency process I have ever seen in the 12 years of working at the FCC. Then he stated, quote, Democrats in FCC leadership cut a secret backroom deal, one that kept the Republican FCC commissioners and perhaps others completely in the dark. And then they hustled it out the door on a Friday afternoon.

What we're watching is the Game of Thrones within the federal government right now. And the purpose of that game is to keep as many people silent and in the dark as possible. If you're an undesirable, they want you silenced. Shut your mouth. Close your eyes. Close your ears. Just let what's happening happen. Why are you standing up? But the FCC wasn't finished with just that.

For years, the progressives have been labeling conservative talk radio as the enemy, enemy number one. And think about it. Do you even attempt to watch or read mainstream media anymore? Do you turn on CNN or ABC, even Fox? Do you read the New York Times, Washington Post?

Most of us went online. And if we even got a hint of censorship online, we go local. And it doesn't get any more local than local radio. You can listen to me on local radio stations all over the country. Maybe you're doing that right now from your home, car, or at the office. And it's the same for some of the best conservative voices in the country. We're all listened to in pickup trucks and tractors and minivans and small businesses all over the country.

And to the regime, that's a threat. But let me go back to the FCC. Last week, just two days before they made a backroom deal on the Internet for rural communities, the FCC also broke with tradition and fast-tracked an acquisition by George Soros to gobble up one of the largest radio companies, in fact, the second largest radio company in America, Odyssey.

Now, Odyssey will give Soros and the progressive control over more than 200 radio stations spread out over 40 markets in the country. The reach is 165 million Americans. You want to know whose voices are on those radio stations? People like Sean Hannity, Dana Lash, Mark Levin. Oh, and me.

And even crazier, Soros took foreign investment to make that acquisition happen. Foreign ownership is supposed to go through a lengthy review process so we know we don't have people who are trying to subvert America. And it should only be 25%. But I guess the FCC just said, screw it. It was fast-tracked just weeks before the election. Why?

I've spoken a lot over the past few years, 10 years, 12 years, of color revolutions and how the modern revolutionaries always seek control or manipulate media first and foremost. Catherine Mayer of NPR once wrote that seizing control of radio could be a way to, quote, "...govern a country," end quote. Radio is key. She wrote, quote, "...control over the flow of information in a closed society can be tantamount to control over the state."

Interesting in context, isn't it? So why is George Soros so intent on gobbling up radio stations that host conservative talk radio voices? Is it just pure chance that all of a sudden he was interested in this? You know, between crashing national economies and funding every major progressive cause throughout the entire world, it's strange that he would pick this.

Maybe it's just another purely chance move that, as the Latino vote began swinging conservative, Soros brokered a deal in 2022 to purchase Univision's 18 mostly conservative Hispanic radio stations. Why is the FCC seemingly teaming up now with George Soros in a Game of Thrones over the media and radio? Why does it look like it's aimed directly to middle America? I think it's actually all about the date that forever shook the pillars of tyranny.

December 15th, 1791. This is an end run around the First Amendment. A progressive billionaire who has been a danger to the whole world for a very long time is footing the bill. But your federal government is facilitating the sale. It's breaking all of its rules for George Soros. It's a partnership aimed directly at your God-given right to the freedom of speech, freedom of the press. We let them close our churches.

We let them tell us who we can and can't protest, who can be out in the street and who can't be. We let them raid our homes of peaceful pro-life activists. We let them turn us deaf and dumb. I haven't chosen. I didn't. I wasn't given a choice in any of the things that are happening in America now because they've denied most of all these things. They've said they were all conspiracy theories until they end up doing it. And then by the time they do it, it's too late. But I didn't have my voice heard. I didn't.

I don't know anybody who did say, you know what? You know what we need? We need an extra 10 to 20 million migrants here in America. We just need, you know, bring in the gangs, bring in the drug lords, bring in the people that will rape our children. I don't know anybody who said that. So first they said that was nonsense. They're still kind of saying a lot of that's nonsense, but you know it's not. And you know it's not going to stop. There are things that we have to be able to do and say that

And the First Amendment is critical to that because the choice really, honestly, as it's always been, is ours, not theirs. My Patriot Supply. You know, when good old World War III gets going, going strong, I'm probably just going to stress eat. I mean, a lot, probably, just being honest, you know.

Well, let's get to some poll numbers here.

With Stu Bregeer. Yes. Stu. So the Pulsecast is what we have. By the way, it's up now at glennbeck.com slash pulsecast. Oh, good. And basically what it is, keep your finger on the pulse of all the mainstream experts and what they're saying about what's going to happen in the election. Right. This is not my prediction or Glenn's prediction. It's a summary of mainstream prediction. And actually, another good day in polling for all these models and prediction markets for Donald Trump. Good.

rose from 43.82% chance to win to 45.03% chance. Wow, really good day. He has eliminated, you know, every negative thing that's happened over the past month, basically, over the past couple of days. So,

Is she going down at the same time? Yeah. I mean, she's at a 54.97% chance. Again, those two things, I would look at that as a toss-up race completely. We're very, very close. Right. This is not like your normal polls. You see things like Trump leading Harris on immigration by 21 points. You see that in all of the major stats. And I...

I find it difficult to believe. I mean, how much did your heating bill or your air conditioning bill go up this year? Well, thank you for today's exercise, Glenn, because I decided to go back and look at this, and I had not compared it year to year. Like, I knew what I was paying. I knew it felt uncomfortably high, but I had not actually compared it. So I looked at August, August to August. My electricity bill was up 32% from August to August, and I thought to myself, what?

That's really high. I don't like that. And then I had a second thought, which was I was on vacation in August. We weren't even in the house for like a week and a half. Why is it so high? So then I looked at the actual kilowatt hours I used. My actual kilowatt hours were down 12%. Oh my gosh. So what is that now? So my average per kilowatt hour cost for my electricity was up 50%.

In one year. First of all, I've got to do something about this. I mean, it's turning off all appliances forever. But also, that's incredible. I mean, is that what people are going through? Yes. That's why people are like, ow. And that's another reason why I can't understand why it's as close as it is. How could you possibly vote for somebody who is responsible for

for any of this stuff. I mean, you know, the Green New Deal, that's her deal. That's her deal. She supported it, right? So did Tim Walz, by the way. These are people who have been on the side of it forever. And I will say this,

Probably the answer to your question is people are not seeing this as Kamala Harris's responsibility. They're not assigning her responsibility for this. I mentioned the poll earlier that 19% of voters who admit that Biden's presidency was a failure, 19% of those voters are still voting for Kamala Harris.

I don't remember if I said this on the air or off the air, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself. But I saw a poll the other day that said, how have Donald Trump's policies improved or hurt your life? That was the question. Has it made it better or worse? The same question was then asked about Kamala Harris with one minor change, which was, how would Kamala Harris's policies affect your life?

Well, they are affecting our lives, right? She's the vice president of the United States. There's no... They're trying to position her as the change candidate. And it's working. And that's what he has to solve. When you say, why is it so close? It's because people see her as the change candidate. And Trump and the Trump campaign need to find a way to remind people, hey, she's currently the vice president. I'm the change candidate. How does he do that? Fight, fight, fight for change.

We're going to change the direction. You and I both know we're on the wrong track. Fight, fight, fight for change. That's how he should die. He should have that printed up by the end of the day. Yeah, that's a great idea. He's got he is the change candidate. He can't allow them to take that position, but they're very slippery and very good. The Glenn Beck Program.
