You're listening to The Best of the Blenbeck program. All righty. Well, Stu, how are you?

Just wonderful, Glenn. Looking into that big bus, I can't wait to get a, you know, maybe I'll see if I can find an abortion on the bus or a vasectomy, whatever I can do. Well, you're a man. You could have a baby too. I could get the vasectomy. You could have the abortion. There you. So, it sounds like a wonderful thing. Is there any promotions they're running? Are they running a two, is there a two-for-one abortion special? No, no. I think it's interesting. I think it's interesting that this cult that we have said is worshipping Moloch would come together at their big annual celebration and their DNC convention full of joy, just like they used to in the Bohemian forest and kill and sacrifice their young. This is a religion, man.

This is their sacrament. And they're doing it in Chicago. So, you know, it's not evil. It's just a choice. It's just a choice. And I'd like you to see the choice of the people that, you know, are attending the DNC. You know, you're going to have every star. But you're also going to have about 150 to 200,000 protesters there.

All of them protesting, you know, to, ah, from the river to the sea. Let's keep Israel free. No. No, no, it's something like that. I can't remember, Stu. But I don't think it's pro-Israel. something tells me. It's an aspirational phrase, Glenn.

Just in case you were wondering, as Rashida Tili reminded us, it's nothing to do with genocide. It's an aspirational phrase, which is true. It's just aspirational for genocide. It's really nice because you have the outer ring, you have to be against Jews.

And then the inner ring, you have to be against babies. And then the inner ring is, you get to be for globalism. which I think is great. I think it's great. It's kind of a ritual, you know, hey, I want to kill Jews.

Hey, even more, I want to kill babies. Hey, I want to kill everybody. It's great. It's great. So there's your DNC for you tonight. Yeah, there wouldn't be such a people problem if it wasn't for all of these people, Glenn. So if we can find different ways to kill all of them.

Thank you. You know, all these evil Republicans are gone. I mean, who knows what the future could bring. And killing, sound so harsh. Could we please use the word liquidate? If we could just liquidate all of these people, we wouldn't have such a people

problem. Oh, gee, is that hate speech? Is that hate speech? Or is that sarcasm? Is that making a point through sarcasm? Well, I know the difference, but apparently YouTube doesn't. YouTube is taken away some of our

freedoms on YouTube. Why? Well, because we dared to have a newsmaker on. We dared have Tommy Robinson on. What was it? Last week, week after. Now, he's the guy that the English are saying is responsible for it. I interviewed him.

I asked him about violence. He said he was absolutely against violence. And there wasn't one thing in this eight-minute interview. there's not one single thing that he said about violence, except to say he's not for it. In fact, could we please play the Tommy Robinson clip here? You are not, you're not calling for the rioting and burning of buildings and bricks through windows, correct? Glenn, if you, I've just put a video together.

The insanity of this is, the media, the politicians and the police are currently building and a narrative. and they're pumping it everywhere, that I've instigated these calls for violence. So what I've done is I've gone through and if you look, it's my latest tweet

on my Twitter, I've made a video and I've cut together all the things I've said. Do not be violent. You're a moron if you're burning things. Put the bricks down. You're ruining everything.

I have appealed for calm, peace and love from the start of this. So the truth doesn't matter. Do you know? Well, the truth don't matter yet because my name is banned from Facebook. My name's banned from Instagram.

I'm banned from TikTok. So they can tell the public whatever they want. And they're currently telling them that I'm am the Instagram of all this violence. So when you're looking at the riots, right now on British TV, on every chat show, everywhere, they're saying it's Tommy Robinson. Whereas the truth, if you watch my video, is...

Huh. So that's the only time we talked about anything violent, and he was against it. But YouTube is taking now their marching orders from the European Union. This is something we warned you would happen. we now all have to comply by Europe's standards. So if Europe puts this woke bull crap in, these public-private partnerships will say, yeah, well, we've got to do it for Europe.

Otherwise, we won't be able to compete. So, you know, they'll kick us out of Europe. Good, kick you out of Europe. Kick us out of Europe. That's fine. This is not an American first attitude because we're better than everybody else. you don't break our constitution.

You don't go against the things that set America and the rest of the world free for the first time in human history. We have certain standards here, don't we? Or maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. And I can't figure out the standards at all of YouTube because this is the note we got. YouTube doesn't allow hate speech. Tell me what the hate speech was there. Tell me what the hate speech was.

Or content that provides or promotes or incites violence. Okay? Tell me how we promoted or incited violence. Can't do that. And in some cases, content that is potentially controversial or offensive. It may remain up, but with some features disabled, That's exactly what this is. It's remained up, but you can't share it.

You have to go through a maze to get to it, and the features are disabled. You can't read any comments. You can't make any comments. Your videos are still live on YouTube, but some features have been disabled, meaning the watch page will no longer have comments, suggested videos, or likes. So you can't share anything. You know what this is? This is a digital ghetto.

And I know I got a lot of heat from social media when I first talked about a digital ghetto. I said, that's what they're building. You could talk all you want. Talk all you want, you Jews. You just have to do it behind this wall. You could say whatever you want. Oh, but nobody will see us because there's a wall between us. It's a digital ghetto.

YouTube. Telling the truth is not inciting violence. Telling the truth is not controversial, and if it's offensive, get over it. Since when in this country can we not talk to a newsmaker? What was hateful about this? What part incited violence? Oh, I know it's controversial.

But with whom? The elites. I'm doing a show this Wednesday night. That's what the whole special is about. This is going around the Constitution because public-private partnerships are in bed with our governments. And we're very careful.

We are very careful on what we put on YouTube because we know that X and the Blaze are the only true free platforms that we don't have to worry about. Two, two platforms. that we don't have to worry about. X in the blaze. My gosh.

I got this on Friday right after the show, and I was livid. Livid. How dare you? This is a newsmaker on a newsmaking show. Fight, fight, fight, fight. Controversial. He said, fight, fight, fight.

You know what he meant by that. He meant burned down Minneapolis. No, they already did that. May I just show you some other things that have not had any problems on YouTube and are still live and are still there? You know, the Home Secretary of the UK is now saying that they have to look at ideological trends. And what they need to do is hold people's views about women. It's not okay anymore to ignore the minds. massive growing threat caused by online hatred towards women.

What online hatred towards women is there? Come on, think this through. Well, if you're talking about the UK, I would say it's about 60% of London now. What is it, 58% Islamist? They don't seem to like women an awful lot. They don't seem to give the rights to women. Is that who you're talking about England? or are you talking about the extreme right wing?

Oh, you know what it is? This is it. It's not the Islamists that you're worried about. It's all of those people that say these men can beat up women in a boxing ring, right? The one that says your daughter has to compete against men in sports. Or the one that says, hey, you as a guy, you can become a woman and become a Anything. You go, girl, even though you're a man. That must be the hate, the ones that hate women, right?

The ones that are taking all of the rights that women have worked so hard for and flushing them down the toilet. That's got to be the rip women's rights you're talking about. Or is it the extreme right wing? Now, when you listen, I think you can spot, I mean, inciting violence, you kind of know, what it is when you hear it. Tommy Robinson saying, no, you are destroying everything we're trying to do by pricking up a brick or having violence. Yeah, I kind of understand that. Because if it wasn't the

FBI or the CIA or whoever that orchestrated Jan 6, if it was really just a bunch of right-wing people, which I highly doubt, thanks a lot. You've destroyed everything. So I understand that what Tommy is saying. But let's listen to some other things that are not inciting violence or controversial that are still on YouTube

with all of their privileges. Cut five. Some of the success that we've been able to achieve around criminal justice reform would not have happened in recent years where it not for Black Lives Matter. And the intensity and the brilliance of that movement that forced

at least that that that there would be some counterforce to the status quo, which is so reluctant for change, if not hostile to change. That's what these movements do. They're not to stop. They're not going to stop. And this is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not going to stop. And everyone beware, because they're not going to stop.

It is going to, they're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after election day. And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't, they're not going to let up. And they should not. And they should not. And they should not, said Kamala Harris. And they should not. That's in the midst of the rioting in the streets. YouTube says that's fine.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. All right. I want to talk to you a little bit about Patriot Mobile. I had a friend write to me a couple of weeks ago. And he said, Glenn, I don't know why I didn't listen to you before. He said, but one of the big three just raised their rates on. me and he said it was I mean just unbelievable how high my rate went he said he was paying over he has four phone lines and he said he was paying over four hundred and twenty or four hundred

fifty dollars every single month so he said I immediately thought of your commercials and I went and I called Patriot mobile what happened when he called Patriot mobile he's now paying for those same four phone lines just over a hundred dollars a month instead of four hundred dollars a month make the switch to Patriot Mobile. They're a great company. They're the only Christian conservative phone company out there. They really are working at the grassroots level to help defend and protect our constitution. You get the same great coverage because you have access to the same three major networks that everybody is on.

And they have a 100% U.S. based customer service team that will show you how much money you can save every single month. This is an easy way to do. Your phone service, you're standing on the right side, and you're saving money. Call today, 972 Patriot. 972 Patriot. Use the promo code Beck. You'll get a free smartphone with promo code Beck. So join me.

It's one of his best. Every like four or five years, I break it out and watch it. I just watched it a couple days ago.

It is so good. And at one scene, he plays a preacher. And he is called into the town by the corrupt capitalist that's trying to buy all of the land because it has gold on it. Well, anyway, he said, you know, preacher, you come to work here. I'll tell you, I tell you, you come to work here and here's what's going to happen. You might find yourself in need of a church. And gosh, I could build one for you. And Clint Eastwood says, well, I mean, if a man had a church,

he would need fine clothes to be able to be able to stand up in front of all those people. And he said, oh, only the best. You'd get only the best. I mean, you know, hand-tailored, hand-tailored preacher outfits for you. And Clinys would say, that's why it wouldn't work. Because anybody who serves Mammon cannot serve God. How many of our churches are worried about money? Are our churches up for sale?

Megan Basham is, whether she's a Daily Wire culture reporter, and she's written a new book called Shepherds for Sale, how George Soros is trying to infiltrate your church. Megan, you anti-Semite. Well, thanks for having me, Glenn. Yeah, it was quite a bit of research and getting quite a bit of blowback, but the reality is this,

is that evangelicals are roughly 30% of the American electorate. They've rightly been called by even less-leaning outlets like the Atlantic, America's most powerful voting bloc. They are the firewall against the most immoral policies that the left wants to enact. They are what has been holding back the left's agenda. And so actors like George Soros and other left-wing billionaires have started funneling money into evangelical institutions and ministries to try to harness the power of high-profile evangelical leaders.

And they've been very successful. So tell me what, tell me how this manifests itself. Like if I'm sitting in a church and I'm, how do I know if that's my church? Well, I can give you an example that's happening right now in this election cycle. So if you're familiar with Christianity Today, which is known as Evangelism's Flagship Magazine, founded by Billy Graham back in 1956, it's well known. it's a trusted brand, and it's been promoting a Bible study, a political Bible study into churches and Christian colleges and campuses, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities,

starting last year, last August, started promoting it to all of their 185 member schools, then you need to bring this curriculum in. And essentially what it teaches is that voting is very complex. and if someone tells you how you should vote when it comes to an issue like abortion, you should run from that person. But Christians have an obligation to vote to oppose alleged systemic racism. So it's subtle, but it's pretty obvious who they're trying to get you to vote for. Well, that program called the After Party, that curriculum, is exclusively funded by hard left secular foundations, the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Foundation and the Tuleit Foundation, which is the

largest funder of Planned Parenthood in the country. And then you have the Rockefeller Foundation, which promotes quote unquote gender affirming care for youth, meaning cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, all of those things for kids, and of course abortion. So these are the people who are funding this curriculum, which they said, we want to see this roll out in the battleground state of Ohio to begin and then across the country. And it's being brought into conservative churches. So this is just one example of what I cover in my book. It's happening all over. If you look at what George Soros has been involved in, so he started funding an organization, secular left open borders organization called the National Immigration Forum. They wanted to convince evangelicals to buy into these open border amnesty

policies. So they created a front group called the evangelical immigration table. And there is no legal separation between the National Immigration Forum and this Evangelical Front Group. But they brought in all of these well-known leaders, quite a number of leaders from the largest Protestant denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Association of Evangelicals, which represent some 45,000 churches in dozens of denominations, once again Christianity Today, once again, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. So all of these entities that are viewed as trusted and conservative, but they're partnering with George Soros-funded organizations and have taken George Soros money themselves in order to participate

in these programs that are designed to convince conservative lawmakers that their most important constituency, the evangelicals, want them to vote for these amnesty policies. So this is how this sort of money, funneling of dark money is coming in. and it's how this network of associations is working. How many of the churches are actively aware of this? I would say very few are actively aware of it, and part of the reason is because, one, obviously, you know, my book just came out a couple of weeks ago.

It immediately hit the New York Times list, and I think it's because so many people were shocked to find out this information, and also because the pushback has been so unbelievably fierce. I mean, I expect it from pushback, but there has been a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth that this information has now been publicized on such a high level. And I think it's because they knew that for so long, most rank and file people in the pews, most average pastors, were not aware that these things were going on. And so you see a lot of scrambling to try to deny the information, but you can't deny it, Glenn,

because the reality is you can say that, oh, hey, there's nothing wrong with the fact that we're hiring pastors to be, quote-unquote, regional mobilizers to connect with lawmakers over, for example, these immigration policies or these climate change policies. Wow. When you drill down on the, yeah, that's happening too. But when you drill down on the money, you cannot deny the IRS 990s. You cannot deny what's right there in cold, black, and white in all of these financial filings that money is going from these secular left billionaires and organizations, and not

just George Soros, also people like Bill Gates. the Clinton Foundation. Well, those are good religious foundations. Right. Those are great. Those are great. The Pierre Omidyar, yeah, the left-wing Buddhist founder of eBay. He's funneling money into groups like the policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.

So all of these secular left billioners, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, all of this money is flowing from them into these evangelical ministries. and it's gone unnoticed for a really long time. So how do you approach this, your pastor, you see something, you want to talk to him about it and say, hey, have you seen any of this? How do you talk to them? Well, you know, I think the first thing is I have encouraged people, look, don't blow your pastor up. The minute you see maybe something from the evangelical immigration table

or the after party, which is that political Bible study, from David French as a New York Times and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore. When you see that come in, first have a conversation with him, say, hey, pastor, can I take you to coffee? Because there's a really good chance he doesn't really understand where it's coming from. And some friend, some pastor friend of his, brought it to him and said, hey, you should have this in your church. So that would be one. And then two, if you sense that they are not willing to really look at the information there,

I think you need to have a tougher conversation. and if it seems like, no, they are deliberately bringing this in, then I am sorry, but you've got to find another church. Tell me about Christian nationalism. Did you look into that? And, you know, largely what we're seeing when we look at the Christian nationalism discourse is that I think it's a smear that's largely being used by the left in order to dissuade Christians from participating in the civic process.

So essentially what you see is, for example, the Rob Reiner documentary, We recently came out a few months ago. They take something like the overturning of Roe, the Dobbs decision, and they label that Christian nationalism as a smear, when really what it is is just average Christians availing themselves of the same constitutional process of free association, free speech, electing candidates who are going to enact their policy preferences and appoint the justices that they want. They call that Christian nationalism, but it's simply Christians doing exactly what their secular neighbors. do. Now, I know there are a small, fringy group of people who are kind of leaning into that smear. I don't think that's particularly wise. But as far as actual money coming from the right or something like that, that's not happening. And not only that, where you do see Christian organizations getting involved in politics on the right, it's very transparent. There's no question about what people like

Ralph Reed and his Faith and Freedom Coalition are doing. They're not trying to hide it because they're not taking money from people who everyone knows are not Christian and do not have any interest in building up God's kingdom. It is something I thank you deeply for doing the homework on. This is something that we exposed a couple of three years ago. And I know that many churches are in the midst of an internal fight, whether their flock knows it or not. There is a big fight going on for the soul of these organizations.

and they have let the wolves in the back door. And thank you for exposing it. The name of the book is Shepherds for Sale. Its author is Megan Basham. Thank you so much, Megan. Thanks for having me, Glenn. I appreciate it. You bet.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. Stu, you remember last week when the Blaze had the report out about the pipe bomb that it might have been planted by the police. Yeah. Okay. We didn't spend a lot of time on it because I thought, well, it might have been that. It might have been a lot of things.

You know, I'll wait for Steve Baker to pin this down. Then this weekend, I saw Darren Beattie of Revolver News came out and he said, it is the police. Okay. That's kind of a big deal. I mean, that's earth-shattering. Steve Baker joins us now from the blaze. Steve, is this new information or the same information that you had?

And I'll tell you why. We have the video carrying a bag in his hand, but he steps out of frame. And then two minutes later, he steps back into the camera frame. Once again, he set a bottom down. But ask questions, and it makes us question the FBI. directly once again, as we did in our article, which was our lead in that article was that FBI can solve this for us today. These own security cameras, their own security cameras are aimed and focused on exactly

that spot where the bomb was placed, but they have never released that to the... So it is, I mean, I have to tell you, I mean, if you have to take a leap of faith, you're forced to take a leap of faith, and you look at all of the evidence. It is circumstantial, but it is pretty good, especially when the DNC has that video and won't release it. Why wouldn't you release the video? That's the great question about this bomb, and that is what makes, as you've been on, when you have a bomb that was allegedly placed 17 hours earlier around 738 o'clock the night before. and then so many officers all over that building from various agencies, two different bomb sweepies. Because they moved it.

Well, this camp, whoever the operator was, turned that camera off of the investigative scene. So this takes us into a whole new territory if it is true. And this is why as much as I believe this probably is what happened, you don't want to go there, you know. unless it's absolutely true. And I don't know how we would ever prove that. But this, you say, why do you say this was a Secret Service agent? Secret service deed to assist the Secret Service. And there was, of course, some time, well, a year later after January 6th,

inside the building at that time. So what do you think why was it planted? There's no doubt. No, I had no problem going out in declaring the reason for it being planted. reason for that bomb and the one over at the R&C, the Capitol Hill Club, was diversionary. They were specifically planted resources from the Capitol. Bear in mind that only five minutes before the first breach on the West Front there at the Capitol in January 6th, that's when the first bomb was found at the R&C.

And then we think is a Secret Service agent wearing a trench coat here. And then five minutes later, or 15 minutes later, some minutes after the barricade breach, a Capitol police, plainclothes officer found the bomb. And that diverted resources from the Capitol that were needed. So do you think it was ever supposed to go off? No, these bombs were not viable. They were absolutely beyond any shout of a doubt. We have direct testimony from that bomb scene.

It worked on the investigation of the bomb. And he was told by his superiors that these devices were not viable. What's your gut tell you on this? My gut tells me that we're going to learn who this man is to declare him. The guy that would be, you know, there's eventually going to learn after three and a half years. Harris was in that building, why she was not at the Capitol, being senator at the time. She was present. The certification of the electoral college vote was taking place at the Capitol.

at the time, but she had been scheduled according to this same OIG report. She had been scheduled according to the Secret Service logs. Tell me about what you know about the Secret Service and the body of the would-be assassin of Donald Trump being cremated before Congress had a chance to examine and investigate. And also that they cleaned up biological evidence. And that apparently doesn't happen. True? The answer common. They turned the body back over to the family. I think that Representative Clay Higgins from Louisiana is absolutely correct in that. Are we going to find out who it is? I wish you

luck and I hope that thanks for being responsible on this. I'm not saying that the other reporters are not. They may know something that I don't know or we don't know. But I don't want to rush to anything and get it wrong. This is way too important. If that's true, then you're deep state is exposed and nobody is safe. Nobody is safe. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
