Hey, on the Thursday Podcast, this is the best of. The whole show is worth listening to. If you want to listen to the whole thing, please do. You find it wherever podcasts or you can join us at glennbeck.com/torch.

You get it all commercial free. But on today's best of, the rogue AI hacks into the Australian government. You want to know how AI is going to kill us? Forget about all the Terminator stuff. This is the beginning of it.

Also, people are saying the president just is coddling communism. No, he's not. He has president Xi. He had Mamdani and an embrace of Mamdani that everybody on our side is freaking out about. Don't freak out. I explain what the president is doing. It's very, very clear. And you may be one of the only people that know what is actually happening after you listen to the podcast. And oh my gosh, the whining from the left. The president is wrong on what I believe, on what he's doing with the press at the White House, but it's going to solve itself. But that doesn't stop Jake Tapper and others from whipping everybody up into a frenzy. It's ridiculous. And I explain Jake Tapper and his view on what's happening in the White House.

You're listening to The Best of The Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn Beck (2:04)

This week I've told you a little bit about Talrico's pastor and his church. They cannot call themselves Christians.

Now, I am somebody who is very sensitive on people saying, you're not a Christian.

And so I am not judging them spiritually. I am judging them literally. I'm literally looking at what they say.

And if that's what you believe, you literally, not your doctrine isn't my doctrine. You just literally are not Christians. You're Jeesatonians.

And there's a very difference between a Jeesatonian and a Christian. Now, I told you that yesterday or two days ago. There's a difference now. I don't even think they're Jeesatonians. Okay. And let me present the evidence. A Jeesatonian is somebody who says, Jesus was a very wise man. A Christian is a man, is somebody who says, he is the Lord and Savior. He has redeemed us all from our sins. He died, was crucified, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. I believe those things. That's a Christian, because it's not like Jesus ever sat in the waiting room and the receptionist said, Mr. Christ, Mr. Christ, it's your turn. It's not his last name. It's a title. Okay. It's not, they didn't have last names back then. It's a title, Jesus the Christ. So, to be a Christian, you have to believe that Jesus is the Christ.

A Jesuatonian just believes you're a wise man and you lived. They don't even believe that, we find out now. This is James Talrico's church in Texas and his pastor. Now, Pastor Babs has a lot to say about Jesus in this sermon now that we're getting. Listen to this sermon.

Jake Tapper (4:09)

Do we really believe that like a virgin gave birth to a baby?

Glenn Beck (4:12)

No.

SPEAKER_5 (4:14)

Yeah, okay. I just don't want to offend my own common sense?

SPEAKER_3 (4:18)

Yeah, no, don't. Yeah.

Absolutely don't. Part of what we encourage here is for people to think for themselves.

SPEAKER_5 (4:26)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_3 (4:26)

And take what makes sense. It's kind of like what they say in 12 Step Proverbs.

Take what you want and leave the rest. Mary and the virgin birth.

Glenn Beck (4:36)

Stop for a second. Maybe I'm a bad alcoholic. It's been a while since I've been to a meeting. But take what you want and leave all the rest? Is that one of the big things? Do you know, Ricky? Because I don't remember that. I mean, it's been a while since I've been, so it probably is. And that really isn't something, I mean, even if that is said in AA, that's not something you say at church. That makes you, this is the way, and I say this is a slam on me, not on the church. I was a cafeteria Catholic. I did exactly that. I went in and I saw the doctrine. I'm like, yeah, I like that, but I don't like that. I like that and I don't like that. I like that and I don't like that. You're not a Catholic. You're not a Catholic.
