Welcome to the podcast. So today, Glenn starts the show with a little information about the FBI, the texts that were released. The deep state stuff is really kicking into gear. And it seems like there's new stuff coming out almost every day. These are text messages between agents that are going to blow your mind. We start the show right there. Ken Paxson, he is the Attorney General of the State of Texas, talks to us about voter fraud and how they seem to have caught some here in Texas. thankfully before presidential election. We'll get into the details on that and what is being planned by the left. Also, we

have Jonathan Kahn who is on with us. Gabe Wrenches on as well. He's a guy who was making... He's doing this terrible, horrible thing that spreads COVID all over the place called singing hymns outdoors in a social distance manner. Bastute. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Bad guy. Wow. Bad person.

At least, you want to get like arrested for this. Again, this is, what a freaking world we live in right now. And Pat Gray, as you just heard, joins us for our three to go through all the craziness that's going on with the media and Brianna Taylor, as well as the protesters who are harassing people at restaurants and, and some of them who lay, who just happen to be down, lying down in the street and unfortunately have their heads run over by bicycles. And nobody wants to see that.

Paxton is our attorney general here in Texas. And yesterday looks like he found a scheme and is putting the cuffs on a few people that had a mail-in ballot scheme. what a surprise in the Democratic Party here in the great state of Texas. Welcome to our Attorney General Ken Paxton.

How are you, sir? I'm Dan Well, and I guess you have not heard the narrative. We don't have mailing ballot fraud. Well, I was going to ask you, beside the 134 felony charges, what else do you have? Well, I mean, you know, it's interesting. This narrative that there's no voter fraud, there's no mailing, but ballot fraud,

is largely, I think, pushed because there hasn't been a lot of focus on it. There hasn't, most states don't have a lot of resources or any resources behind it. Some of them don't have any. We only have, when I started, we had one prosecutor and a few investigators. I asked the legislature to triple that. We have three. And we, we're, those people are busy all the time. And 66% of the cases that we've done, I think, in the last 10 years have been mailing ballot fraud.

Okay. Well, that's something. you know, like the violence at these at these beautiful, peaceful rallies. That's just not happening. So tell me about this ring. Who was involved in what were they doing? Well, it was definitely to, it appeared

a benefit, the county commissioner, a guy named Shannon Brown. He ended up winning by five votes. The precinct that he is in, I think it covered about 20% of the population, but it had 50% of the, the mail-and-ballot votes. And if you look across the county, there were only 12 disability-checked boxes for people who were voting with mail-in-vouts, whereas in his precinct, there were 376, I think.

So the numbers were definitely not proportional. They were way outsized for his precinct, and he ended winning by five votes. So what happens? First of all, how did you find out about it? How did you nail them and who was involved? So we had a lot of help from the Greg County Sheriff, Sheriff Tubbs, and we also, you know, my office investigated, but we also, I think, get that information from the elections people that I think they discovered the inequities, which in some counties, you know, it's difficult for us to get that because the elections people are not going to take note of things like that because they may or may not like the result. So, Ken, you are as concerned as I am about this, these felony charges. you can face six months in jail to 99 years in prison. That's kind of a big spread.

What do you have to do to get 99 years in prison? You know, it's always up to the court system to determine that with jury, trial by jury. And so they end up making these decisions based on how bad they think that the crime was. So I've had cases where we've tried to negotiate. We had a woman who had voted in like five counties, a non-citizen. We actually tried to negotiate a two-year sentence for her, and she refused it, and the jury ends up giving her eight years. Well, it's Texas. I don't know if that's going to happen elsewhere.

So what do people do this election? I mean, I have to tell you, can I have no problem? I mean, I do, but I will accept a fair and honest vote. If it goes the other way, I won't like it. I don't know how we survive, but I will accept it. And I think most people on both sides of the aisle will do the same. But there, I mean, how does the post office in Pennsylvania just lose Trump votes in a ditch in September? That's a really good question.

I was actually with the president yesterday, and he was asking the very same question. He said, how do they lose? How do my votes end up in the trash on the side of the road? And I know he is extremely concerned about the mail-in ballots. I think he said he's anticipating 80 million mail-in ballots. That's a lot of openness for fraud. I can tell you that. Scary.

So what does the average person do? How can we volunteer? How can we over it? What do we do? I think one of the things, I mean, the mainland ballot thing is really a challenge because it's impossible to watch. At least when people are voting in person, you can have people at the poll site

watching people vote, just sort of watching the process happen and ensuring that people are doing what they're supposed to do. And it's pretty simple, right? You show up with a photo ID, and if that's you, you get to vote, and if you're registered to vote, you get to vote.

So, but with the mail-in ballot, we don't know who those are coming from, and the people counting them don't know it either. And so it's very difficult with that kind of process. And with our state, at least it's limited. You know, there's only certain categories of people that can do it, people over 65, people that are, you know, disabled. But even there, there's room for fraud.

Imagine states that have universal mail-in-ballot. I do not think you can protect against significant voter fraud if you have universal mail-in-ballets. Did the guy, what's his name, that won this commissioner seat? Shannon Brown. Shannon Brown, is he's he's not serving, right? I mean, he's going to serve in a different way. Well, we have to prove, we have to prove this. He's still presumed innocent until a jury convict him of a crime.

So at this point, he continues to serve and will continue to serve until we prove the case. And a jury says, yeah, you've proved your case that this guy committed fraud. So, yeah, he's presumed innocent, just like anybody else that gets indicted. How big, how was it? How did this scheme work? How did they do it? Where did they get the ballots? How'd they do it?

I think that these things just get mailed out. And sometimes they just go around and grab them out of mailboxes and fill them out. And that's usually the way it's done. And there's sometimes we were pretty certain that the elections people let their operatives know that they're going out. And they just, they know the date. They know the locations. and they grab them and fill them out.

Ken, thank you so much. By the way, let me ask you, I don't know if you have the answer. Why did the governor increase the time of voting before the election? We went from like 12 days to 17 or something like that. Why did we do that? I actually do know the answer. So one of the arguments that we've been making, we've been sued so many times of our election issues. We've been sued, I think, 12 to 15 times.

I have more election cases that I've ever had my life, and probably ever happened in the state's history. to our election. So we had three different mail-in ballot cases. One was in Travis County. We already won that at the Supreme Court. We have one at the Fifth Circuit. And by the way, just note, they have to win one time. And they're able to, then it opens it up for cheating. We have to win every case. One in the Fifth Circuit, it's a constitutional challenge saying that it's unconstitutional to only let people over 65 vote. Then we have another one in Harris County where the county clerk, or district clerk is trying to mail out over like 2.7 mail-in ballots to everybody. Not upon request. just mail them out. So one of the arguments that we have made is, hey, the governor has already accommodated these people and accommodated the whole COVID issue by allowing for more hours and longer early voting. And I think that's a much safer way to handle it. Oh, yeah, it is. It's much safer because we don't have any proof that really that early voting hurts it. Actually,

I think it actually helps us get more people up and it tends to be good for Republicans. So I don't think that's really the problem. The real problem is mail-in-balance. And I find it frustrating that we have lawsuits, somebody, even the state party, going after something that really doesn't change the game and really undermining our case that, hey, we've already accommodated, don't do mail-in-balance. Who's funding all these lawsuits? Because it's not just Texas. This is happening all over the country. I mean, my speculation is George Soros. There's a law firm. There's a law firm that's involved in many of these cases, not just mail-and-dallel. They sue us over all kinds of issues.

How many poll workers we have? How many ballot order putting the Republicans ahead of the Democrats, which we've done since the beginning of time, whoever's in power gets to go first. I mean, just name it. We're defending it. Ken, it was said. You brought up George Soros. and Fox News just about wet their pants when the name George Soros went on the air. I know this to be true.

You and I have talked about it, that George Soros has pumped all kinds of money into district attorneys and even into some offices of attorney generals in different ways trying to affect even the attorney general's office. They say that there's no proof of that. Can you prove? Look, I, I, I, I, this guy is so, he's so good at like hiding how he does it. But like, for instance, and here's here's, here's the focus. He wants to put in DAs that won't prosecute Kron, but they will go after Republicans. That's the idea.

Get it, get people in there. And so I'll give you two, two examples. Bear County had a, had a really good Democratic DA guy named Nicola Hood, who I work with very well on human traffic and all kinds of issues. Well, Soros didn't like him because he was prosecuting people. He was doing his job. Same thing just happened in Travis County. Margaret Moore, excellent VA, doing her job, not partisan, just doing her job. But she was prosecuting people, so that was a problem.

So they sent another DA who supposedly is going to not prosecute people, but, you know, we'll go after Republican leaders as drop of a hat. So that's the strategy. Make criminalize politics and weapons. the DAs to destroy anybody that they don't like and not prosecute real crime. It's an incredible time to live, and I'm glad you're our Attorney General. Thank you very much, Ken. Appreciate it. Thanks, and have a great day. You bet. Ken Paxton, our Attorney General in the state of Texas, and if you have a good Attorney General, I'm telling you the things you must vote for. You must know who your Attorney General is.

you got to make sure they are strict constitutionalist and sheriffs. You got to do everything you can. If you have a good sheriff, support them. If they're up for re-election, support them. Do all you can. Sheriffs are going to be the last line of defense, as we have already seen in just some of this COVID nightmare stuff. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

And don't forget, rate us on iTunes. We had the SWAT team swing in to ask. action arresting three Christians singing hymns. They were all social distanced, but they didn't wear masks. Now, I should give you the fact that this county is overwhelmed with COVID. The hospital is teeming with people with COVID. Or I think no one has had COVID and the hospital is fine. I'm not sure which one it is, but one of the guys who,

was arrested is a Gabriel wrench. Hello Gabriel. Can you tell me what the hell is happening to Idaho? You are, you know, this whole, our mayor signed into a resolution, you know, social distancing mask resolution on July 2nd, and then they keep extending it. Our city council keeps extending it. And then throughout all this, my church occasionally would, you know, we'd go to like the middle downtown and sing psalms, you know, sing three or four psalms. And, and, you know, and, you know, It's kind of a protest. It's kind of a worship protest to all this. And then our mayor on this past Monday,

excelling the Psalms again. And so we went to City of El's parking lot and started, I mean, halfway through a song. And the police officers walked up to me and say, hey, you know, they asked her, are you with him? And she said, he's my son. And then so I put my arm around, my buddy next to me. I said, but this is my friend.

Officer said, okay, well, let me give me your ID. And I said, officer, you don't have to do this. And he said, give me your ID. And I said, officer, you. know better in this. And he said, give me your ID. And I said, officer, I have First Amendment rights. And your duty is to, your duty is protect the citizens' freedoms and rights and not to the mayor. You need to, you need to stand up. And then he said, one more time, he said, I'm going to ask you one more time, give me your ID. And I said, officer, you don't have to do this. And he said,

I don't want to. I don't, he didn't want to arrest me. And then he proceeded to arrest me. The resolution was signed in on Monday. I emailed him Tuesday morning, and I said, Officer Frye. He's a Christian man. I said, getting arrested. He's standing behind the arresting officer. Gar when he's singing, you can hear the handcuffs click in the videos that are my people behind me are singing and I'm getting arrested and they walked me over to the cop car. And my brother walks up, my brother's always late. So he walks up late. Hey, bro. What's happening? I don't. Come on, man. He comes in. He's like, this is born into the officers. And then my, and walking in and he's like, He starts rebuking the officers.

I mean, my pastor had to take me off to all this. First, the event without a mask, without social distancing. And then on September 2nd, he was at a gathering, a social gathering of more than 50 people. He attended that without a mask, without social distancing. I go sing Psalms in City Hall, and I get arrested. And then I go to the deputy, they check me in the Lattie Tau County jail. And as they're checking me out, I was in jail for about two hours. my buddy Sean Bonae, him and his wife, Rachel, also got arrested.

So Sean comes to jail. He comes to visit me in jail. And his wife had to go to another jail cell because, and as I'm getting there for about two hours, I look across the way. I'm sitting down talking to the deputy who's booking me out, getting all the information, and I'm sitting down and across the way of them aren't social distancing and aren't wearing masks. And so I walk over there and I say, officer, arrest these people. They aren't social distancing.

They aren't wearing a mask. and the officer said, they said, no, you need to arrest these people. They aren't social distancing and wearing a mask. This is what I'm here for. And so, I basically didn't get physical on me, but they basically pushed me out of the jail. Were these police officers when you said the deputy?

Was this a sheriff or was this police? So the MPD, Moscow Police Department arrested me and then handed me over to the Latak County Jail, which is run by the sheriff's department. So it's a both a both fiasco. Wow. You should rethink your sheriff if your sheriff is for this kind of stuff. Sheriffs are the, they respond directly to the people.

They are, they don't have to go through anybody else. They go to the Constitution and to the people. If that's your sheriff, you should get them out. I don't know anything about this sheriff, but I'd be interested to see what he had to say about it. Go ahead. I was going to say, yeah, I mean, that's the nice thing about the sheriff is you can vote him in and out, but you can't do that to the, you know, Moscow police chief because he reports to the mayor, and the mayor and our city council is the one that's put everyone in this little.

How did this small town vote for a council look like this? How did you do it? Yeah, we're in Idaho. Idaho is a conservative state, probably 70-30, but I'm in a Whitech County. There's only two counties in Idaho that tend to vote liberal in the presidential race. So even the conservatives, even the so-called conservatives that are on the council are absolutely liberal. So there you go. Wow.

So what's going to happen now? Do you have somebody to represent you to bring this to court? Yeah, well, I mean, obviously the thing's gone viral. So the number of lawyers have reached out to me. So, yeah, I'm going to obviously fight this. I mean, we have basic constitutional rights that were violated. I have a right to worship. I have a right to protest.

I have a right to petition. I've a right to assemble. And I mean, the constitutional right to worship tells the government that you can't tell me when to worship, where to worship, and how to worship. You cannot do that. And I got arrested for that. So I got a court hearing on Wednesday, and I'm talking to some lawyers, kind of finalized my game plan and all this. But, yeah, I'm going to fight this because I told the cops, I was getting arrested. I said, man, I'm doing this for your liberties, brother.

I was glad to see I was really glad to see I mean you guys did it like a Martin Luther King protest you all were peaceful you know you didn't cause a stink you just stated things clearly walked away with the officers and you did it right

it's hard to when you when you're wrestling with a cop it's hard to figure out who the good guy and the bad guy is sometimes and I think you did this right Gabriel thank you so much yeah thank you Glenn for having me on You bet. Appreciate it. Idaho.

What are you doing, man? What are you doing? Wake up. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. We have yet another priest, this one in Minnesota that has been silenced by the church. He gave a sermon on the coronavirus, the truth revealed, where he said some controversial things, for sure. but he said we're being manipulated in played. And the church has chastise him because his homily went against the Pope Francis's exhortation

that sermons be a consoling encounter with God's word and a constant source of renewal and growth. Oh. Oh, okay, so they're not supposed to talk about things. Uh-huh. I'm telling you there's a war in all of our churches, and there is a war going on, and we are not fighting men. We are not. We're not fighting against the Democratic Party. We are fighting against evil.

And quite honestly, for those who are awake in the Democratic Party, they're fighting it too. They know. luckily this weekend there is I think something that is really critically important whether you're there or or you do it yourself tomorrow but there is a prayer march tomorrow in Washington D.C. with Franklin Graham we talked to you about that earlier this week and Jonathan Kahn is also holding an event called the Return, the National and National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance. Welcome to the program, Jonathan Kahn.

Great to be with you, Glenn. So how much trouble are we in, Jonathan? A big trouble. I don't believe in our lifetime we have ever seen America at the places at now. As you said, critical. In fact, I don't know that America has ever been. We are in danger of literally a collapse of judgment. we, you know, Glenn, at the beginning of this nation, you know, there were promises made, you know,

and actually, here in the Puritan saying, if we follow God, we'll be the most blessed, powerful, prosperous nation on Earth, and it's all come true. But if we turn away from God, those blessings are going to be removed, and we're watching that, we're watching the dangerous side. We have driven God out of our culture. We have called evil, good, and good evil. We've done all these things that we're following in the ancient, mistake of ancient Israel, and that leads to judgment.

So I believe it is so critical. I mean, if we've never been so critical as we are right now, that's God. And if we don't, we may pass the point of no return. So, Jonathan, you wrote The Harbinger and the Harbinger 2. And you were, I think you had your dates wrong on the Shameda. I think it's coming now. myself, but, but you have been a voice that has really exposed this all the way along as a spiritual battle. I've followed you since, you know, the Harbinger came out, and you follow it

from Ground Zero. And I'm not sure this is just a bad time for America. I mean, I believe that there's a chance. The headline today in the Jerusalem Post was, the world is witnessing biblical prophecies or the times of fulfillment of the Bible, something along those lines. That was the Jerusalem Post. I think there's a shot that this is the beginning of those things foretold. Yeah, yeah. If you remember, Glenn, when we first met and I, we spoke about the harbinger. And the harbinger, for those and all, is the biblical template of a nation's judgment.

and what it is, you know, it begins with a strike on the land. As we see, this is the pattern, again, again in the Bible, an enemy makes a strike. With us, we had 9-11, and that's a shaking. It's a wake-up call, and calling the nation back. But then there is a window of time that the nation is given, and that in the span of years. And that's why I knew when I wrote the Harvard... It was not the end. It was really the beginning of this pattern.

And we have followed... In that window of time, we've had, we have followed the... We haven't turned back to God. We have all the more departed from God, and that's exactly what happened to ancient Israel. And one of the things is, Glenn, and this is why I knew that this year was not only for the return, but also for the sequel, The Harbiter, too, because there's a time period given in the Bible, where how long is it from that strike, that first warning, to the time when the greater shakings come on the land? Well, with an ancient Israel, it was a period of 19 years, from the strike to the year,

year that the greater shaking time. Well, 9-11 was 2001. When is the 19th year? It's the year 2020. And so we are seeing the shakings coming, and we are watching the danger of this window of time ending. We have to choose one way or the other. And so we are watching all those things, in fact, the prophet Jeremiah, when he's talking about this 19th year, what's going to happen? One of the things he says, he talks about plague, he talks about shaking. Well, we are shaking, and if we don't get this warning now, again, this is the time we must return. It's really, I believe, life and death. I agree with you.

I think that I didn't understand men's hearts will fail them until this year. The number of people that it's not hard yet. It's not hard yet. And the number of people that will cower in fear and won't say anything, because they'll be kicked out of school. They will lose their job. They'll lose friends. They'll lose family.

That's your heart failing you. You know what's right and you won't do it thinking, well, this one's a little one. But if you don't do the little ones, you don't stand a chance when it gets hard. Yeah. In fact, I mean, we have been paralyzed. And we have never in the history of America have we gone through this thing. We are paralyzed. We have seen things grind to a halt.

And by the way, there's a chapter, when we first spoke, this chapter in the harmonious, it says things to come, and it talks about how are these shaking come, and the shakings are the, the breakdown of society, the disorder, you know,

civil disorders, another one, the breakdown of the economy, all these things, and really grinding to a halt. And one of the things is that I was praying, you know, this was a year ago, and I'm praying, Lord, what's the next book?

And I got, because I always knew it was going to be a hard to do, and I got that. But I said, okay, this is a big year, and then I got a very, strong thing that this is going to be the year of shaking. And I'm telling people this,

before all this happened. And the thing is, we didn't realize, you know, one of the things that in September 26th, this was chosen over a year ago, we didn't realize it turns out on the biblical calendar, it is an appointed day tomorrow. We didn't know it. And it's called Shabbat Shabat, which reads the Sabbath, it's a Saturday. And of Shavah, the word means

the return. We had no idea. It's appointed for a... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you break? Wait, wait. Is my just, my head headphones or did you break up? I didn't hear. You said, okay, I'm sorry, it was my headphones it broke up. What did you say? It means the Sabbath and... Shuvat actually means the return. We had no idea. It's appointed from the biblical calendar to be a day of return for a nation to return to God. And there's an appointed scripture. We read all over the world in the synagogues of the world. And it's all about having a sacred assembly, a solemn assembly of return and repentance.

exactly what we're going to do on the National Mall. We had no idea. So I believe this is so much the appointed time. So Jonathan, is this coordinated with Franklin Graham's, or is it just, because I know of yours long before, and I know Franklin is doing on the mall, so there should be lots of Christians there. Yeah, and there's also people who just fear God and they're coming. Yeah, well, Franklin called us up. This was said, yeah, a while back, Frank called up and said, I want to do a March. So he's going to do a march from the Lincoln Memorial coming across for it'll be two hours happening in the middle of the day. The return is going to be the entire day starting at 9. 9 a in between the Washington Monument and the Capitol Hill. And it's going to be, it's a gathering,

the Sacred Assembly, you know, which literally, if God used in ancient times to bring a nation back, and actually God used an American history to bring America back before. So it's all going to be converging. That's why I believe it is so much the Lord. All converging. We didn't plan this, but it's all coming at the same time, same place. So yes. Well, I will tell you, I'm speaking and praying tomorrow there, and it's an honor to have even been asked to go. A lot of really, really big people are involved in this, and God doesn't care about the big people. He wants to hear it from us, and if you can get to Washington tomorrow, please go to Washington.

If not, can you watch this online? Yes, it's going to be. The return is going to be broadcasts all over America and all over the world. If they go to the return.org, you can find out how you can see for the, and also it's going to be on television and other things. But starts at 9, goes to about 5 o'clock, and we're going to have a thing afterwards of just celebration. But the thing is that no matter where you are, it doesn't matter.

If you can make it great, we'll be there. If you can't, at your home, at your church, it doesn't matter. to really consecrate this day for prayer, repentance, pray for America, and return and revival. Because without revival, there's no future. And it begins with us. It's the people of God. We're the ones have to turn to God first. Thank you so much, my friend.

I really appreciate it. Thank you, Glenn. You bet. Thank you.
