Glenn Beck (0:00)

What an amazing show today. Oof. If you have a chance, listen to the whole thing, because there's a lot in here, but I know you're busy, so here's the best of. We start with Unity Without Merger, and this comes off of a James Talrico statement that he made recently that, you know, I think Allah and Jesus, they're, I mean, it's the same God. No, no, it's really not, James, it's really not. And I explain the trap that is being set for so many Christians right now. Also, Jonathan Cahn continues our conversation from yesterday. He's got a new book out about the seed of Satan, the altar of Satan, literally. It's, you know, from ancient times. But his new book is kind of like Angels and Demons or The Da Vinci Code, except this one is full of facts. It's a fascinating read, and you need to listen to the Jonathan Cahn interview from today. And Chris Salcedo covering the Republican Convention here in Dallas. I don't know what they can say that would get people excited to go, you know what? I trust those guys. We talk about that on today's podcast. You know, there's a certain kind of confidence that only parents have. You walk into a bedroom, you take one look at your kid and go, yeah, he's getting sick. You don't need a thermometer. You don't need a doctor. You just know, right? Unfortunately, knowing they're about to get sick is the easy part. The hard part is discovering that half the town has the same bug. The pharmacy is out of the medication they need. And now, you're driving all over town hoping somebody has it in stock. That's why I advise you prepare before the first cough starts. The kids' case from Jace Medical provides physician prescribed emergency medications and antibiotics designed specifically for your children. And you can also include essentials like albuterol, EpiPens, Zyrtec. So when a school germ makes their annual appearance, you're not scrambling to find out, you know, what your family needs. You already have it. Having it when you need it, when the time comes, gives you a true piece of money. Go to jace.com, use the promo code Beck and check out, get a discount on your order.

All right. So, Talarico just said, you know, I like going to mosques as we all believe in the same thing. No, we don't. No, we don't. Now, I want you to know, I have said on this program, you know, we don't have to agree on theology.

We have to agree on principles. And if you are in with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and you believe in the American principles, that God speaks to the individual, Jesus came to save the individual, I'm with you. I'm with you, we'll fight. We can argue about your church, my church, we can do that all day long.

I want to talk to you about unity, not merger. And that's the entire game here. And there's gonna be somebody that comes up to you, somebody that you respect, a pastor or a writer, somebody you've been reading for years, some guy on stage that you'll be listening to, and he stands up and he tells you, culture is rotting. Your children are being handed a life without any meaning to it. And the people that are running the institution despise your faith and stop pretending about it years ago. And that the family is being dismantled on purpose, and every word of that is true.

And then he'll say, people have been saying this for a while. Now look at, it's proof. You can see it in the streets. And so it's time to stop fighting each other. Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jew, Muslim. The old arguments are a luxury that we can't afford anymore. There's a fire, and we're arguing about the color of the water or the hat the fireman is wearing.

And you'll think, well, you know what? That makes a lot of sense, and that sounds like Jesus. Jesus loves everybody.

Yeah, he does. He does, but he also speaks the truth. Even if you're wrong, he'll speak it to you in love. Okay?

A half-truth arriving with the face of the thing that you love. That's what you'll be hearing. A half-truth. Because there's a version of that invitation that is entirely good, and Christians have taken it for a very long time without losing anything. And we used to call it standing shoulder to shoulder. I got a Jewish neighbor, and a Catholic neighbor, and an atheist neighbor, and we all go to the same school board, you know, with the same specific outrage, and you feed the same hungry people, and you offend each other's right to worship, especially when, you know, you're certain that the other guy is wrong about what he's worshipping. And nobody pretends, and you disagree about God on Sunday, and you're at the same table serving others on Tuesday. That's good. That's good. But there's a second version that is now being pushed in our churches by people like Talarico and people on our side. I've got to tell you, and I'm going to have to save it till next week, you know, there's the Green-Red Alliance, that's the Muslim Marxist. There is, I'm calling it a Gold-Black Alliance that is happening on our side, and you need to understand it or you're going to be lost. So, this second version sounds an awful lot like the first one. But in the second one, you're not asked to stand beside each other, you're asked to agree that disagreement never mattered. I know my faith, I know some people say I'm not even a Christian. I'm a Christian. Jesus saved me by calling on his name as the only way to God. He saved me, he redeemed me, I know it. You don't think that sounds Christian? That's fine. I don't need you to believe it, and I'm not trying to change your. You can argue with me on that all day long. It's the American thing to do. It's good. It's good. I don't want you to change your belief. I'm not saying, hey, join me because we're going to merge. No, no, that's wrong. And the distance between these two conversations is about an inch, but it's the entire game. Now, let me show you the mechanism and how it works. So once you see it, hopefully it'll put a stake in this, and you'll be able to recognize it and not miss it when it comes your way. Let me tell you a book in the heart of Hinduism, 700 verses, hundreds of millions of people have loved it for 2,000 years. Maybe you have read it, it opens at a battlefield at dawn. And two armies are drawn up, and it's a family war, okay? The greatest archer of his age is fighting for the side that was cheated. He's fighting for the good side, and he has no doubt that his cause is just. And he asks the man driving his chariot, take me out into the open ground right in the center, because I need to look at what, I need to look at them in the eye, I need to see them before I do this thing. And so he goes out in the field, and he looks at the other side, and it destroys him. The men across on the other side, he's not killing strangers. He'll be killing his cousins and his uncles, and an old teacher who taught him how to shoot. Standing over there with a bow and arrows, I'm gonna shoot him or he's gonna shoot me. My grandfather of the whole family is in armor waiting for him. So he sees this and he sits down in the chariot, and his mouth is dry and his skin is burning, and he's losing his bow is slipping out of his fingers, and he's like, what am I gonna do? I would rather be cut down unarmed than win a throne over my family's bodies. And the rest of the book is the answer he gets from the man holding the reins. And it runs like this. What you're grieving isn't real.
