There are devastating details and these details that are coming out are the ones they don't want you to. I can prove it. How can I? Probably. We have. We have the reports or the lack thereof from yesterday. This story. It's not exactly a Christmas miracle though. But I do have good news today. I promise you we're not going to only talk about the horrific state the way things are in. And by the way, we should be helpful on Christmas Eve of all days. As dark as the world is, the promise of light, the promise of love, the promise hope, help is on the way has never been more necessary and more obvious maybe than, than today in so many different ways. So we're gonna do all of this today. We've got lots to discuss, some very special moments and guests that I think you're gonna enjoy hearing from too. As I mentioned, a lot of good things to talk about today, but we have to talk about this story and it may be one of the most important because it's being ignored. So welcome in. Justin Barclay filling in for Glenn today. It's always an honor, always a privilege being able to be here with you in Glen's audience, especially this time of year. I absolutely look forward to it. One of the things that I remarked on recently is that when I get to fill in for Glenn, you know, these are normally times that most of folks have taken off, traditionally in the swamp, in D.C. and of course even in the media, you'll get lots of different stories that are, you know, what's the word of the year? Next week we'll hear the word of the year and all the great things. Looking back, you know, all of that stuff on what happened this year and you know, times got the person of the year, all of that, all of that stuff that's in the year sort of filler is it. It's really what they put out so that they have content and things to run near the end of the. So it usually in years gone by had lighter years. Not so the stream at which we are drinking from these days does not stop. It is like drinking from a fire hose. And we, we continue to give you the updates because the news won't stop. We won't either. And that's, that's part of what we witnessed just yesterday. A horrific story we probably the first to tell you about the murder of this innocent woman. And there's still not a lot of details about who it was that was killed. Burned to death on the subway train in New York City. The tragic murder we now know more about who is accused of committing the crime. The illegal immigrant. The alien tossed a match or a lighter or something on this woman. At least the reports were saying early tossed something onto this woman who appeared to be sleeping at the time on the subway train. And from everything I've gathered, this train was stopped. And I don't know if they were working on something, if there was an issue or what, but there was someone sleeping on the train. Lots of people there apparently on this train waiting around waiting for it to get going, whatever, whatever they were doing, technical issues or whatever it might be. That's when this migrant, the alien illegally here in the country we now know from Guatemala guest, decided to ignite this individual. For what reason, we still don't know. There are videos floating around purporting to be this individual at some point ranting on some sort of cell phone video that went up on social media somewhere that shows this individual very drunk, talking about being drunk. Could have been a blacked out moment. Crime, I don't have to tell you, in New York City and on the subway is through the roof. And I don't think it's any mistake that this story comes out the same day that Biden comes out pardoning killers, child killers, some of the most heinous acts and crimes he's let these folks, well, he commuted their sentences. He didn't pardon them. Let me correct that. He commuted their sentences. Might as well, for some of these families sake, might as well have pardoned. But he commuted the sentences so they will not get the death penalty. What kind of signal does that send? And a dying regime that is on its way out the door, flailing, he said, I can't in good conscience allow, as I've halted these executions, the next administration to come through and pick up where I left off. Essentially, he said, I can't allow the next administration to actually come in and get any work done. So these people have been spared. What kind of signal does it send to all the people? As we've got the border wide open, the barn door is wide open. It could come on in. Matter of fact, we're going to put you up in the nicest hotels in New York City. And when you do something absolutely heinous, something absolutely horrific, we'll look the other way. That's essentially the signal, he said, and that's what's happened here. Sebastian Zepeda, 33, has been charged with first and second degree murder here, according to the reports, as well as first degree arson. Now, here's the history. He was arrested by Border Patrol June 1, 2018, after illegally crossing into Arizona. He was deported. Listen to this very carefully. He was deported by the Trump administration. This is why this story is never going to see the light of day. Tom Holman has promised, along with President Trump, mass deportations on day one. They will not give this story the light of day because it will give Trump again the mandate that he is required. In fact, he's already been given to go through with those mass deportations. Hallman and the rest of the folks saying they're going to start with people just like this before they do something like this. What do you do to somebody like this? Is it enough to say we're going to lock them up and throw away the key? Or do you have to take one or two of these folks and do you have to have a public execution to show people that we mean business? The murder of Lake and Riley, the two animals who were accused of killing Jocelyn, raping Jocelyn Dungaree. These horrific stories. There's one after the others. One of my. My very own backyard where I'm at in Michigan. Ruby Garcia was. Was killed in cold blood. She was shot in her car, thrown. Her body thrown out on a highway, left for dead. What do you. What do you do with these people right now? They just let anybody and everybody get away with anything and everything. It's absolute chaos. And in fact, we talked about this yesterday. It's so bad, you have to ask yourself, is this incompetence or is it intentional? And I would say, I don't know which one's worse, first of all. Second of all, I would say at this point, I think the answer's becoming obvious. But this man was. He was deported under the Trump administration and somehow, some way, finally found his way back into the country, ultimately ending up in the death of. Of this individual who we still don't know much about. And I don't know when we'll get that information because the body is. Well, I won't say any more about that. I have seen the video, and I will tell you, if you have not, please don't go looking for it. There is so much happening in the video. It's so horrific that it actually jars the conscious that people would look at it and say, how can someone stand around and just watch this? I'll briefly describe some of the things that are happening. I'll try not to go into too much detail, but in the video, you see the doors of a subway car open, and there's a glow of a fire coming out from those doors of the subway car. Someone filming this on their cell phone. You see the suspect sitting on a bench in front of the subway, gazing at the fire and the blaze he's just created like it's a Yule log. If there was ever any doubt what we are up against, let there be none now. There is evil, evil in this world, and we wrestle not against flesh and blood. What the. What we're facing is a spiritual. I don't care who you are I don't care what you believe in at this point. How is there any denying when a human being can do this to another human being? That's one thing. Well, he's a little off, you know, the guy something wrong with, you know, that's bound to happen. You know, that's every now and then you got people that are broken and that's just. Well, what about the people that are standing by watching it, who refuse to help, who refuse to step in or refuse to stand up? What about the person filming it? And in this video, it's hard to, it's hard to even comprehend this. It's hard to imagine. But there is a New York police officer that walks past the subway train, seen in the video like it's another day in the Big Apple. How do you wrap your head around any of this? And I don't want to go into any more detail and I'm going to tell you, please don't go because I believe when you see things like this, I think it takes a piece of your soul. You do need to know about it. It's a tough line we walk because it's a story. I don't think you should stick your head in the sand. You do need to know about it. You need to know what's happening so you can be aware. You need to know what's happening so that you can be able to speak up, to stand out and of course, defend yourself and your family in any situation, a situation like this and know what to maybe expect and what could be coming. But listen, more than anything else, you need to know so that when President Trump, by the way, here is the good news. The Calvary is coming. You made this possible. When President Trump lays his hand on the Bible, January 20th, all of this, all of it comes to a screeching halt. And that's the hope that's on the way. More on that in a second. Plus, I want to give you the details about why the news isn't touching it and the evidence of that. In fact, the key details are leaving. You can imagine what those might be. Plus, Tom Holman, president's new border czar, speaking out. You can imagine what he's got to say about all of this and more. We'll be back. Quick break. Justin Barkley in for Glenn Beck today. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Safe, effective defense solution equipped with powerful non lethal deterrence including tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60 foot range capable of stopping an attacker in their tracks.

Well, it's been essentially ignored by legacy media, mainstream media. What do you call the dinosaur folks, whatever you want to call it, essentially been ignored in large part by all of them. In fact, from what we could tell now, again, maybe somebody will be able to turn up a blip or something and say, no, no, I caught it here. But from what we could tell, the only one that covered this was cbs. This horrific story of the woman burned alive on the subway in New York City by the illegal. The man who was here deported under the Trump administration found his way back in the one that Biden and Mayorkas and all the rest of them said, well, this is compass. Tell that to the woman's family. This, this, this is the compassion of the Democrats. This is the progressive leftist backwards compassion where the, the actual perpetrator, the suspect is the victim. You know, because of the systemic whatever you want to fill in the blank with capitalism, racism, whatever the ism is might be, that's, that's what it is. So essentially it's, you know, obviously driven this individual's poor, poor soul into the actions that they create. The actions aren't their own fault of responsibility. It's a system again, so CBS News covers it. They leave out one detail now to a disturbing and deadly attack here in New York City tonight. Police say they have a suspect under arrest after a woman sleeping in a subway car was set on fire. She later died. CBS's Tammy Mutassa is in New York with details on what exactly happened. Tammy Jerica. You know, this was a brutal attack on a woman who just appeared to be sleeping on a public train and Police found that victim when they saw smoke during a routine patrol. Horrifying moments inside an F train on the New York City subway just before 7:30 this morning. NYPD investigators say a woman was set on fire and burned to death. This detail, I just, I missed it previously, but I'm hearing it now thinking about this. You mean this was. They found all of this because of a routine patrol? You mean nobody called it in? That's even wilder to me. Police say as the train approached the last stop in Brooklyn, the suspect walked up to her, lit her on fire, and stayed on the scene, watching her burn from the train platform. After the NYPD released images of a person of interest, three young men called 911 when they saw the suspect on a different subway. Police stopped the train and arrested the man. There must be strong, swift consequences on this person, and I use that term lightly, who committed this brutal, brutal homicide. I absolutely agree. You've got to disincentivize evil. You've got to disincentivize this horrific behavior. Because if you don't, if you don't take a stand, this, this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is just a preview of how bad it's going to be. Now, the, the hope here is that we know that day one, because you voted for it in massive numbers of Americans in ways we haven't seen a long time, came out and voted for this for President Trump, the mandate to take care of this clean house. And he's gonna do that along with Tom Homan, by the way. There's a little bit more of this report. About 30 seconds left, but you're not gonna hear the most important piece. And eureka. The NYPD said cameras have been installed in every state subway car. Oh, they got cameras. That ought to do it. Get a camera. There was somebody with a camera on their phone filming it all, standing by, not helping somebody who, who, who, who was in desperate dire need. Who, who knows what could have been done if somebody would have stepped in. But, you know, they, they came after Daniel Penny, didn't they? Came after him for doing the same thing. You notice they did what they did not mention there. They did not mention the status of this illegal alien. They did not mention how he got back in after he was deported by Trump, by the way, Trump, the new sheriff in town, back in charge. And Tom Holman is speaking out against it. This a border czar. You're gonna hear what he has to say. Day one is just days away, folks. Hope is coming. Justin Barkley in for Glenn Today, the Glenn Beck program. GLENN Beck.

Before I get to ahead of my Santa Su I got but this news is coming fast and furious. Like I say, it's drinking from a fire. That's what it's like every day. Before I get too fast and furious into the program, let me, let me just do this. Let me give you the numbers in case you want to join it because I'd love to have you on of course the Christmas Eve this We got some special, we got some really special stuff coming for you later on today. So get ready for that. It's Justin Barclay in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. By the way, you want to find me online and follow the some of the stories I'm talking about. I've shared them all over social media. You can find me at mrjustinbarklay and@justinbarclay.com I put all these stories up in something called the stack so you can see it every day after we've talked about things like this. The New York subway murderer completely ignored by all legacy media. CBS News the only outlet to cover it. But guess what they left out and it's because of images from those cameras that led to this arrest. This week Governor Kathy Hoy announced an additional 250 National Guard members will be deployed in subway cars to make sure everyone is safe. You might as well give them some fire extinguishers because they know they won't be armed. But you ought to give them some blankets, maybe fire blankets. Tammy Mutassa reporting in New York City tonight. Thank you. You know what CBS failed to report? They failed to report the status of this individual. They failed to tell you that he's here illegally. Not, not supposed to be here. He was deported under the Trump administration. And was it Biden, was it the policies of Biden, mayorkas and the rest of them who, by the way, bear responsibility for this mess? I won't hold my breath for accountability, but I will tell you, I know that the streets of New York City, the streets of Chicago, the streets of cities all across the country. Matter of fact, the mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, is asking for help from the Trump administration. And so the mayor in Chicago, mayor in Chicago and one of the mayors here, and I believe the governor in Colorado, there's some real standoffs happening. I think it's going to be a rude awakening for some of them. As Homan says that Tom Holman, the border czar, just to meet him, I went to the State of the Union this year. That was an experience, I'll tell you that much. Maybe I'll tell you a little bit more about that later on. But the state, the State of the Union, you get to meet all these great people at home. And one of the most interesting people that I got a chance to, this guy means business. And do not mistake his sort of rough, gruff exterior. Do not mistake his silent, the strength really, the way that he comes off. Don't mistake that for someone who's just mean or no, what you're seeing there is true compassion. When he breaks down to tell you why he cares so much about keeping these kids safe, about keeping folks in the country safe, you see where his heart is. You see where he really coming from. So when you hear him respond to this latest situation, you know he means business. There's a reason for it. Well, look, this is another example of illegal island killing American citizens. It's almost a daily occurrence now, you know, because historic number of criminal aliens walking the streets because this administration's policy in sanctuary jurisdictions and lacks immigration enforcement, ICE has their hands tied. Secretary Marty Orcas have given them priorities that they can't even go arrest an illegal alien anymore unless he's convicted, convicted of a serious crime, then maybe they can arrest him. So this is on this administration. As far as Governor Hoco Shame on her. She supports sanctuary status in that state. She welcomed thousands of illegal aliens to her state. She sent them to Buffalo. Syracuse. Murders were occurred by illegal aliens in Buffalo and Syracuse. She has a green light. Law, ICE and CBP can't even work with local law enforcement. Local law enforcement can't even share DMV data with these people. So, Governor Hochul, shame on you. There's nothing you can say that's going to make this right. Law, New York, Tom. Tom Holman's right about that. Not only that, but it doesn't just come. Don't you think it comes really at an interesting time, you know, the same day Biden has said he's going to commute all of these different sentences that people have. The death sentence, by the way, they were waiting on death row for horrendous crimes. Very similar, a lot of them to what were. We're sitting here, listen to some of the commutants, because we heard the news about this yesterday. We told you yesterday about this, but now we're learning more and more about who he actually commuted the sentences for. This is Biden's list. Child killers, a rapist, a drug kingpin, and a partridge in a pear tree all commuted their sentences, all spared from execution. Biden justified his decision based on his moral opposition to the death penalty. Well, listen, I. I got a hard time really taking that seriously. I. I am someone who is very much pro life. I am somebody that would actually like to see people spend their lives in jail because I believe even the sickest, even the most twisted, even the worst amongst us still has an opportunity for redemption. Now, that's a process. In fact, that's something that I've seen play out in my own life.
- [29:07]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
But.
- [29:07]
Justin Barkley
I've seen play out in lives of countless others as well. It's a faith thing that I believe that is only possible supernaturally. It's only possible, really, this time of year, more than ever, it ought to be more obvious and more clear. That real gift we're given on Christmas. I believe it's more clear than ever before that those things are possible. But I have a hard time believing that Biden is so adamant about this, given his stance on the murder of innocent children in the womb. I just don't believe he's honest. In fact, you want to know the truth? I don't think Biden had anything to do with these commutations. I think these are rogue folks, probably in the administration somewhere in the Justice Department somewhere, or, excuse me, the injustice department somewhere that had some sort of grandiose idea about what they would do and how they would get some real, you know, justice for the, for the, for the perpetrators, you know, the real victims and all this. The victims of the system. That's how they view things, by the way, through every Marxist weird lens. That's how all of this works. So justice for the child killers, the rapists, the drug kingpins, all of the. Justice for all of those death row inmates. That's what they were looking at. Here's the list. The White House announcing two days before Christmas yesterday that they would give commutations to 37 of 40 of federal inmates currently on death row. They spared the, the Joker, Sir Nye of the Boston suicide bomb. And there were a couple others, Dylan Ruth, I think there's a couple others involved in terrorism and, and they said also hate crimes, but that's what they decided that they were going to do. 37 out of the 40. The White House said the decision stemmed from Biden's opposition to the death penalty and aligned with his justice department's moratorium on federal executions beginning in July of 2021. Make no mistake, I condemn these murderers, he said. I grieve for the victims of their despicable acts and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss. But I'm gonna hit them hardest at a time of year when they probably miss their loved ones the most. Just can't imagine this. It goes on to say, guide by my conscience, my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice president and now president, I'm more convinced than ever we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted. I will tell you this. On one hand, I believe life is sacred and these people have the opportunity for redemption. I also believe, because I know you set an example and you take these things serious, when people do step out and they commit horrific acts of evil, you make an example of them, you're going to have fewer of those evil acts being perpetrated. Just not going to happen. So who's on the list? Critics say the victims, especially children, are the real losers of the new clemency spree. The public outcry over the pardon has also drawn considerable attention from lawmakers. There's a child murderer in here. One man pardoned by Biden, convicted of kidnapping and murdering a 12 year old girl during a cross country road trip in 2010. How do you, how do you excuse. I just, I just can't wrap my head around this. The man, Thomas Sanders, met the girl's mother in the summer of 2010 in Las Vegas. They began dating. Two months later, she agreed to bring her daughter on a road trip to a wildlife park near Grand Canyon with this man, Sanders, according to the Justice Department press release. On the return trip, Sanders pulled over a remote area, fatally shot the mother in the head and took the 12 year old captive. He proceeded to drive for several days across the country until arriving in Louisiana, where he shot and killed her, shot her four times, cut her throat and abandoned her body in the woods. A local hunter discovered the 12 year old's body. A Philadelphia drug kingpin, also on the list, Philadelphia Kabani Savage, is his name on death row for ordering a hit on the home of a federal witness, a serial killer. Jorge Alvarez Alvara Torres rather, convicted in 2011 the murder of Navy Petty Officer Amanda Jean Snell as she slept in her barracks. Already in prison for several abductions and a rape, for which he was also later convicted. According to the Justice Department, he was a corporal in the Marine Corps living on the same floor of the barracks as his victim. This, this, this whole list of people. By the way, you know what's gonna make it even crazier? Deportation is possible. Pardons and commutations are not reversible by President Elect Trump. A commutation sentence has no effect on a person's immigration status, will not prevent removal or deportation from the United States. To be eligible to apply for commutation of sentence, a person must have reported to prison to begin serving his sentence. It may not challenge us. They have the background of it. So the good news is the adults are back in the room. The hope is that on day one, you're going to see a restoration of law and order like you've never seen before. But it can't come soon enough. Thanks to you, your actions, getting out, getting the word out, participating in elections, and thanks to the divine intervention that I think we all received this last year, we've got another crack at it. Hope is help is on the way. More after this. Justin Barkley and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program. Back next, you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

Just see the latest here. Biden backing out of that student loan, debt forgiveness. I don't know who's going to be more upset about those folks or this family. One of the families who they just granted some clemency for the killer of a family member. On Sunday afternoon, I was actually gathered with my in laws for our family Christmas. My sister was gathered with her in laws and we got the call and I was angry. I'm still angry. I am upset that this is even happening, that one man can make this decision without even talking to the victims, without any regard for what we've been through, what we're going through. I'm completely hurt, frustrated and angry. So, Heather, nobody gave you a heads up that this was coming from the White House? So in May we heard that this was a possibility. And at that point we began writing letters to the pardon attorney. I reached out requesting an in person meeting in D.C. and they didn't get it. By the way. Donna Major was killed in a bank during a robbery gone awry. And the man shot and killed her. Cold blood, I believe. Shot her in the head. So you imagine the family having to spend Christmas now thinking about this. This is par for the course and of course a very, you know, just unthinkable way to, to spend your Christmas season. And we were refused. They denied our right to have our voices heard, that we're victims. My mother was murdered at the hands of Brandon Council. They should have heard our story. And all we got was a 10 minute virtual conference. And clearly that fell on deaf ears. They did not want to hear our story. Somebody at the Justice Department, somebody inside the Biden regime wasn't Biden himself, somebody inside there said we're just going to do this. We're just going to do whatever we want to do because that's what they do, by the way. Forget what the American people, he said, I can't. I can't. My conscience won't allow it. I've got to make sure that I end this. We've halted this, the execution and make sure the next administration can't do forget the will of the people. The people have spoken. I'll tell you, the people have spoken that loud and clear. The mandate is there. And Donald J. Trump puts his hand on the Bible, becomes the 47th president of the United States just days from now. Things are going to change. Some more hope on the way. We'll talk about some of those changes coming up in hour two. Justin Barkley at Mr. Justin Barkley online as well as Justin Barkley back in just moments in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program. Merry Christmas. This is the Glenn BECK Program. Got no room to compromise. We gotta stand together. Strength. It's a new day. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. It is a new day. And Merry Christmas to you as we enter into a new day and a new year, maybe a new era, not just in the country, but maybe for the rest of the world. President Trump in just days will put his hand on the Bible and be sworn in as the 47th president, the United States. Looking back, there are quite a few things that have to be dealt with as we move forward. A lot of rights that have to get restored and some of those are for some folks that have been rotting in jail, in prison for the last several years. You talk about real injustices. We just talked about Biden commuting sentences of these murders. What about folks that are rotting in dungeons right now? Julie Kelly joins us coming up after this. And talk about the pardons that are on the way for folks that may deserve it the most. Back after this, Justin Barclay. And for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck Program.

How many are rotting in jails right now that were throwing in their political persecution prosecution January 6th and others? Julie Kelly been covering this like no other and she joins us now. Julie, welcome in. Appreciate you being here with us today.
- [43:42]
Julie Kelly
Merry Christmas, Justin, thanks so much for having me on today.
- [43:45]
Justin Barkley
Merry Christmas. I can't help but think about this. I actually know a man who spent and you'll know him too, last Christmas in jail away from his family because of the persecution surrounding January 6th. And no, there's still folks that are locked up. People don't think about this. But you know, I guess I'm reminded and we'll start with that out of the gate. What do you think is coming? Trump talking about pardons and maybe more for these folks as we see it, some of them tried to put their lives back together, the pieces of which and now we're starting to learn more. We'll talk about some of the latest updates in a moment. But what what about is there some hope for those folks on the horizon?
- [44:31]
Julie Kelly
I believe that there is. I think there's hope on the horizon for many of them. We have a J6 criminal caseload approaching 1,600 total defendants. The Biden DOJ under D.C. u.S. Attorney Matthew Grave, the Biden appointee continues to arrest and charge people almost on a daily basis despite the fact that President Trump has pledged for over a year that he will pardon most, if not all J6ers. And Justin, not only are there J6ers still rotting in federal prison after being convicted by all Democrat juries in Washington, D.C. on bogus charges. B.C. prosecutor Matthew Graves and federal judges are sending people to prison now. So they are still putting these people behind bars almost four year, four years later. And this includes on nonviolent low level misdemeanors. So it's not, of course, it's a travesty, people who are still in jail for excessive sentences. But it even more egregious after the election with a new incoming Attorney General, a new incoming D.C. u.S. Attorney, and obviously the president planning to pardon hundreds of J6ers on day one, that they are still accelerating this abusive, vengeful prosecution, prosecution against Trump supporters.
- [45:56]
Justin Barkley
You know, I think it's one thing if there's violence involved and things like that, but even, even, even though we have seen some real eyes opened unto what was happening, the, the amount of federal agents who were present that day and story after story, that really makes you take a closer look at this. But, but you, you gotta, you gotta wonder how do we stop some of this from, from, from going as far as it has got? Because in the future you still have a lot of these players who are responsible for this insanity sitting on benches. And I know you've been in their courtrooms and watched this stuff play out. It's incredible.
- [46:35]
Julie Kelly
It's absolutely infuriating. I was in the D.C. courthouse last week. They put on trial. And this is the Chief Judge of the Washington Federal Court District Court, James Boston, an Obama appointee. He was presiding over the misdemeanor trial of a woman who was inside the Capitol for nine minutes. She faces four federal misdemeanors. He promised that he would take his time with jury selection in a city that just voted 93% for Kamala Harris, once again denying motions for venue changes which every D.C. judge, including Republicans, including Trump supporters, have denied. Change of venue motions. Think about this, Justin, putting this woman on trial. It took 90 minutes for jury selection. Absolutely outrageous. It was a two day trial and within a few hours, this DC jury once again came back with all guilty verdicts for a woman. You show the video. She was inside for nine minutes. She was lost. She was trying to get out. She was chatting with police officers. D.C. metro and Capitol police officers were right there. It was the Senate wing door. She entered an hour after the building had been evacuated. There were no proceedings going on at the time, but nonetheless convicted. And again, record time by all democrats on this D.C. jury. And now waiting for Biden's DOJ to come back and ask for her to be in jail for up to a year on conviction.
- [48:08]
Justin Barkley
That's, I just can't, I can't imagine nine minutes for a year. And you know, you know what I'm struck with the most is the videos that we saw that day of the people orderly walking through the velvet robes there in the rotunda. I mean, this. This is who you're talking about. Somebody that did not know where they were, was caught up, maybe lost in the situation. This is incredible. Oh, can you hear me? I'm sorry. Yeah.
- [48:38]
Julie Kelly
I don't know what happened there.
- [48:39]
Justin Barkley
Wait, we just broke off for a second. I'll fix it here. But to me, this reminds me of the videos we saw where the people were walking through the velvet ropes at the, in the rotunda. I mean, this is the same type of. She didn't know where she was. She was lost. This isn't somebody who needs to be locked up for a year.
- [48:57]
Julie Kelly
Absolutely not. But this is representative of so many J6 cases, which is why President Trump on day one, should immediately pardon, as I said, most, if not all. Now, you bring up the issue of violent offenders. I've seen other people, including the president, bring this up, but even those accused of violence, they did not receive a fair trial in Washington. The evidence was rigged, so only what was favorable to the government was presented to jurors. I've seen this over and over. Furthermore, it escapes culpability for the police officers who engaged in such egregious misconduct, resulting in the death of three Trump supporters, including fatal shooting killing of Ashleigh Babbitt. But, Justin, as the J6 narrative is disintegrating in the public and political fear, the judges and prosecutors in this D.C. courthouse are completely. While they act like they are insulated or ignorant, because all the new evidence that we've seen over the past year or so, not just federal agents, misconduct by police officers and other lies that the public has been told now being exposed that this is of no interest to federal judges and these prosecutors.
- [50:12]
Justin Barkley
Okay, so you, you, you kind of bring us Julie now to the point that I wanted to, I wanted to get into just recently, we're starting to learn more about some of these people. Well, you know, what was going on behind the scenes last week? Well, we heard more about what was going on behind the scenes with Liz Cheney and, and, and the, the testimony, Cassidy Hutchinson and how, how it looks like. Boy, I tell you what, it looks like witness tampering to me. It sure does. But we were learning more about what was happening behind the scenes on that story. The Secret Service, the driver of the beast, that crazy, wacky. We knew from the beginning this is just insane. It was just so absurd that President Trump would lunge towards the driver of the beast. And there's more details coming out about this. It's been hidden this whole time.
- [51:04]
Julie Kelly
Well, what Chairman Barry Loudermilk, who is the chair of the subcommittee for the House Administration Committee, Barry Loudermilk is investigating the events of January 6th and also the J6 select committee. What he has produced are text messages that were exchanged on an encrypted app between Cassidy Hutchinson, the committee's star witness, and Liz Cheney directly the vice chairman of the J6 committee at the time. What it appears is that Liz Cheney convinced Cassidy Hutchinson to fire her existing attorney at the time who was being paid by Donald Trump's PAC as Donald Trump was paying for a lot of White House officials who were being dragged before the J6 Select Committee numerous times to give depositions. So it appears Liz Cheney convinced Cassidy Hutchinson to dump that attorney. She found two attorneys to work pro bono for Cassidy Hutchinson and then Justin. All of a sudden, Cassidy Hutchinson's story changed. She had already given two interviews to the J6 Select Committee. She never brought up any sort of confrontation that happened in the presidential vehicle that afternoon. Never said that Donald Trump was aware of weapons at the Ellipse, never said that, you know, he threw a plate with ketchup on it. All of this suddenly materialized in June of 2022 in her explosive public performance. And this was appears to be the result of Liz Cheney collaborating behind the scenes with Cassidy Hutchinson and her new attorneys to concoct these outlandish stories that nonetheless the media picked up as fact. Well, the driver of the vehicle, Justin, and I was posting this yesterday, begged the committee, his attorney begged the committee for months to testify to contradict what Cassidy Hutchinson had said. Only before election day on 2022, when everyone knew Republicans were going to win, did the committee sit down with the driver of that vehicle who on numerous occasions said that incident never happened. They concealed that transcript until a few months ago, buried it at the Biden White House. Loudermilk finally got it. And that's what I've been posting as well. No one has corroborated Cassidy Hutchinson's story. It appears that not only did Liz Cheney suborn perjury, but was involved with the destruction of evidence produced by the committee. One terabyte of records and every single video recording made of these transcribed interviews that over 1,000 witnesses participated in during the 18 month J6 committee investigation.
- [53:45]
Justin Barkley
Julie, can you hold for a second? I want to ask you about what stood out the most in that testimony to you, but also just a quick recap, just a few minutes left on the other side of the break here. We'll be able to kind of give everybody a heads up on what remains of any cases President Trump might face and where things are are going from here as we're just days away for him putting his hand on the Bible, getting sworn in and beginning his presidency as the 47th here in the United States. Back with more after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

Justin Barkley
And wanted to just find out that testimony. Some of it's come out here the driver of the beast in this absurd story finally getting the the update and the the light shine on it that it should have all along. Julie, what stood out to you the most out of the testimony that came out? The driver, that Secret Service member, I.
- [55:47]
Julie Kelly
Mean really just on. Well, here's what really stood out. It was clear that no one on the committee, neither the staff, investigators or the members who were involved in this questioning, was going to ask the driver about this alleged confrontation. They avoided it. And it was only after the attorney representing the driver, who's still unnamed but is still with the Secret Service. It was only after the attorney and the witness, the driver, raised it voluntarily, that they addressed this confrontation at all. And then Liz Cheney, she of course tried to avoid this. And then at the end said, well, I just want to make sure we never said that there was a physical assault in the vehicle. Well, she described it herself as a physical altercation during Cassidy Hutchinson's televised testimony. So this just underscores the sneakiness, the corruption, the dirtiness of Liz Cheney, which is exactly why Donald Trump and others are correct to say she should face investigation and criminal charges not just for her conduct on the committee, but intentionally deceiving the American people in her longtime effort to take down Donald Trump and the Maza movement.
- [57:01]
Justin Barkley
Julie Kelly with us. Last but not least, what may stand still of any of the cases or charges of President Trump out there? Well, we've seen one after the other fall or really crumble like a house of cards.
- [57:16]
Julie Kelly
Well, I think the greatest thing to happen in the last few weeks is the Georgia Appellate court who reversed the lower court, Judge Scott McAfee, who did his best to salvage Fannie Willis from her disqualification proceedings because of her conflict, obviously. So she is permanently removed, her office removed from that case. Jack Smith dismissing the two federal well, one had already been dismissed by Judge Cannon earlier this year in Florida, the documents case. Jack Smith then moving to dismiss the indictment in Washington on the January 6 case against Donald Trump. But of course, Juan Merchand will be the last man standing trying to keep that case, the 34 bogus felony convictions alive in New York until after Donald Trump leaves the White House in 2029.

Justin Barkley
Justin, you, you too. And you know, well, because it is Christmas Eve, we got, we still have a very special, a couple of things coming up in the show for you. But we can't, we also can't ignore that holiday that maybe you too have grown to know and love. Right. Festivus while it was yesterday in the airing of the grievings as well. It's all, it's, it's all of the, all the things that you're upset about, the Festivus poll and all that, you know, the made up holiday from Seinfeld, fantastic. Rand Paul has taken it and just run with it and you know, every year now he comes out with ran that list of, you know, waste, fraud and abuse. And it's this year probably more important than ever before because something he's been doing for years is really going to get a front raw seat at the table. And doge the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk and of course Vivek Ramaswamy. Really gotta be taking these things and bringing them to light more than ever before. A trillion dollars on just absolute waste. Drag shows, Arabic, Sesame street, that's a thing. And the two juxtaposed they just can't imagine lonely rats. Just a few. Just a few of the things $10,000 spent on a bearded lady ice skating show. A bearded lady ice skating show. Just one of the numerous examples, they say the frivolous federal spending highlighted by Senator Rand Paul. And the latest on this as he's released the list. You'll hear from Rand coming up. And of course, join us if you like at any point in time in the program. Triple 8727 back. That's 888727 B E C K. As we get the Festivus Report in in in just moments. I think you're gonna dick. You're gonna dig that. You're really gonna love it. In the meantime, I just, I want to tell you this before we run into the break. I don't know what you're doing today. I don't know how you're celebrating, but I just got this message from my precious angels, my little girls and something that was recorded just I guess Candid Random singing in the kitchen this morning. Mountain Jesus Christ is born. Go to mountain. Go tell it on a mountain. Now listen, I know they're not quite as polished as Cheyenne Grace, but I tell you, those two are my pride and joy. And man, I am, I am thrilled that hear them singing the the songs of the season. And I had to share. I'm a dad. That's what I do. Back with more after this. Justin Barkley. And for Glenn today, Glenn Beck.

Oh tell me. Why don't you go. There it is. That's fantastic. A little bit better production quality just a little bit thank than my girls in the kitchen singing this morning. But yeah, we'll. We'll take it and. And I. And God bless this. It's just a beautiful. I think that was from the Believe album a few years ago. I know Glenn's getting into the record business. Maybe I get some worked out for my. All right, that's. That's enough. Thank God. I love you girls. Foreign It's a beautiful thing. And man this year Christmas is back. Have you noticed this Christmas is. Is actually back? They tried. They've been trying for years but they tried to cancel Christmas. And I don't know about you. We just not. We're. We're just not gonna let that happen. Kamala tried to cancel Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we. Well guess what? We're saying Merry Christmas again. It's right. We're saying Merry Christmas again. And we're also. We can't ignore. Can't forget the. The holiday tradition of Festivus. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. Rand Paul has quite a few. In fact he comes out with this list every year. It's become like a. A massive tradition and really what it's known for more than anything else. It's just giving you the waste, fraud and abuse that our government is a federal government anyway so. So used to perpetrating on us. And here is just a few in the report. Matter of fact a. A big year. Because why. Because he's been doing this for years. Finally you have a mandate to cut to get rid of some of this stuff. The president, obviously you got the Doge Caucus, Department of Government Efficiency. You've got folks like Elon Musk want to overlook and oversee some of this. Get a report done along with Vake and they're going to be handing it over to the President. Now, they don't have any power to actually do any cutting themselves, but they're going to hand this report over to the President and that's where the rubber is going to start to meet the road. Now, you know, Congress controls the purse strings, but there are some things, there's some executive actions and whatnot the President's going to be able to do. We'll, we'll have to wait and see what he actually ends up doing. But this to me, I, I just, I, I find to be perfectly timed Senator Rand Paul's annual festive report. The Festivus Report, the satirical critique, as you know, inspired by the Seinfeld episode the Strike, where Festivus is an alternative holiday created by the character Frank Constanza, George's dad, symbolizing a protest against the commercialization of Christmas. The report highlighting the various instances of government waste with a focus on seemingly frivolous expenditures coinciding with the Government Accountability Office's recent report on 236 billion in federal improper payments. Can you imagine? And I would. What do I got to do to get one of those improper payments? Because nothing's ever going to take it back. I don't know how they went. If I spend it, it's gone. I'd like a little improper payment here or there. Well, it's, it's obvious. The inefficiencies and the, the waste of fraud and the abuse in the government spinning. So here we have a couple of the things on the list this year. And I gather around, children gather round as I, as I give you the list and well, we've made it. Rand has anyway and he's checking it twice. Find out how naughty the government's been. Well, you know, one of those things was a secret service protection on Fauci. I'll give you this. I think it's kind of interesting to see. I think they're going to do away with this. This guy. I don't know why he's at. Well, it's just another example, just another example of all the craziness and why we spend so much money. And you talk about the programs that Fauci oversaw. Oh boy. $3 million in this report. They found Rand Paul in his festival report for girl centered climate action in Brazil. $3 million for girl centered climate action in Brazil. First of all, I don't even know what that could mean. I don't understand possibly. What are girls, ladies, women? Are you responsible for more climate change issues than, than men somehow Women are or partially, I think. What is that? I don't know. The privilege here is really tough to see through. I'm not sure whether that's, you know, that's sexist. I'm not sure how to. How do you. How do I wrap my head around that? How dare you? Thank you, Greta. I needed. I needed to figure that. I'm not sure if I had a way out of that, and I didn't want to step in it. Yeah, exactly. $20 million for a new Sesame street show. It's Arabic. Arabic Sesame street, from what I understand. $10,000 for the bearded Ladies Cabaret. Here we go again. A climate change focused ice skate show. Where are they coming up with this? Who's responsible? And think about this. Think about how bad it is when the government rips this money from your wallets, from your fists, when they rip it out. You know, essentially the way things are set up, the way things work in this. You give your time and you trade it for money. You're trading not just your time, but a piece of your life. You're trading a piece of your life, your soul, who you are for that money. Every day you get up and go to work. You do that because you want to make the world a better place and give your kids the opportunity that you never had. In a lot of ways, you want to give them the same, if not better opportunity. And you do that. You give yourself a little bit away every day to make that possible. And the government comes in. What does the government say? Oh, we'll take that. You know, the Lord never asked for more than 10%. And here's the government coming, coming away with more than half in a lot of cases. And what's it for? Well, $10,000 of it went to the Bearded Ladies Cabaret for a climate change focused ice Skate Show. 365,000 went for circuses in city parks. Circuses in city parks. What is. What is. What is that? What is. Some of the. You won't believe this next one. 32 and a half thousand dollars breakdancing. Now, Hood doesn't say who's breakdancing, why they're breakdancing, what got broken when they were dancing. None of that. But we have 32, almost $33 for breakdancing. 330,000 went for censoring conservative media. I'm not making that up. You know what that. That's looked like over the last several years? If they were still in charge, if they were still in control, they'd be doing the same thing. And it probably get worse. In fact, I just saw the View. They were, they were out talking about this on the, on the View the other day. There was, there was, there was a whole thing about, well, you know, if we, if we would have been able to censor social media and we, we'd still, we'd still be in control. And, gosh, there's never been anything done about that. We could just get social media censored. Think critically. Well, it would help if we could.
- [72:33]
Julie Kelly
Regulate social media because one of the biggest offenders is D.C. and Congress have not been able to do one thing.
- [72:39]
Justin Barkley
In regard to the rogue corporations not going to get any better with Elon Musk now in the administration. Look, they've been censoring social media, ma'am. It's been regulated behind the scenes for years now. And one might argue the only reasons why we're able to get out of this mess is Elon Musk. So they're going to turn all their sights on him. You know that's coming. Because if they can, they can't continue to give away. He's going to be at the forefront of telling you what some of this waste, fraud and abuse is. $720,000 for conservation of ducks in Mexico. In fact, what we saw happen earlier last week may be a primer. It may be a precursor to some of the things that we're going to see the way we can fight back in the future. And the good news is it's not just it's technology, but it's the people that use it and this social media that's made it possible. X. X may have killed the way not just this latest bill, but the way things are done in the swamp. Elon may have had a big hand in that. We'll tell you how. Actually, coming up in just a bit, I've got a clip from the folks that billionaires that sit around on that podcast. Really interesting podcast. Is it all in the all in podcast where they talk about this? It's not just Elon. It's not just what happened last week. It's a deeper dive in the technology that, that makes these things possible. We'll get into that. Killing waste, fraud and abuse this time of year, always a fun thing to do. We're back with more of it after this. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. Back next. This is the Glenn Beck program.

We may have just done it. Elon Musk, Musk and X Amelia Just along the view of President Trump and the mandate just sort of transformed. Not just with this latest bill, the 1500 pager, but transformed the way all of this works in general. In fact, a podcast I enjoy called the Old End Podcast. Bunch of billionaires sitting around actually having great conversation. These guys drove a lot of funding and a lot of support for President Trump in the election as well. They, they, they're very pragmatic, realistic thinkers in a lot of ways. But they'll also give you sort of an idea of what's possible. They talk about the technology, in fact, what was used in this, in this, this whole scenario in fact to get through the 1500 page bill, find out what was inside, et cetera.

Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
What are your thoughts on what we.
- [76:46]
Justin Barkley
Saw this past 72 hours? It was relation to this bill. It was the most incredible change in how politics will be done going forward. I think that people are probably underestimating what happened here. This was a multi hundred billion dollar grift that was stopped on a dime over 12 hours of tweets. You would have never thought that that was possible. The point is to put a dagger in something that big that had so much broad support just a few hours earlier. I think it's so consequential in how the United States can run going forward. So it's not just about what happened the other day with that bill. It's the technology and it's the model. Now, the ability to look inside these things. Remember the old Nancy Pelosi thing? Well, you gotta pass it, be able to see what's inside of it. They dumped these things on the desks of these staffers and nobody knew what was inside. They just go. They'd run around on the media, tell everybody, we gotta pass this or the sky's gonna fall. Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats tried the same thing again, this time and it did not work. In fact, it's failed miserably because people are onto him.

Stu Burguiere
Building on what you said, Chamath, also very interesting here is the fact that.

Justin Barkley
That Trump hasn't taken office yet and they're having this huge impact. This is occurring a month before he's even in office. Trump, if they can stop this, what.
- [78:21]
Stu Burguiere
Will they do when they actually are in power?
- [78:23]
Justin Barkley
I think right now you're seeing the first order reaction, which is about the bill itself. And I think that misses the point. The bigger issue is going forward, you will have the ability to. And part of it is because we have a set of tools now that allows us to do this. He's talking about AI ChatGPT or Grok or whatever it might be, but there's a number of these and they're getting smarter, they're getting better every day. To read 1500 pages in a matter of minutes, to summarize it into the key essential elements to really understand what's being asked and what's being offered. Here's what he described it as. Jamal said, new feature GROK Auto analyzes all new congressional bills, summarizes it into a few pages a fifth grader can understand and publishes it into everyone's feed. You can mute these stories, but you can't say you weren't given a chance to know. That's his proposal for a new idea. I think that's fascinating. And think about this. It's gonna give the power back to the American people. There's a lot of ways you're overwhelmed. You don't have time to read through. I mean, you wouldn't read through 100 pages. The average person wouldn't read through one page. But now you can know, and you could know in short form, short order, too, exactly what it is and that it makes it approachable for everyone. And then to put it in a digestible format that normal people can consume, then all you'll have to do is just connect the dots and tell your congressman or congresswoman that you'd like or dislike this thing. And what you're going to see is a much more, more active form of government. And I think I love this idea. This is transformative. And I got to tell you, I think he's right. He's on this something. This is going to have massive impact because it puts the people back in control now, before and for so long now, you've been out of the loop and they've done that on purpose. They've been able to hide these things. Not anymore. There's a new dawn, a new era. More good news on the way. In fact, it's about the good news. You see, Bible sales are up this year. They're booming. We'll talk about what's behind it and more coming up on the Glenn Beck program. The Glenn Beck Program. Got no room to compromise. We gotta stay together if we're gonna survive. Stand up straight, alive. It's a new day. Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Now, we've been through the news today and you know, there's still a lot of stories out there and in fact, maybe some that we'll have to still yet dig into. But there's a lot of good news happening, too. I want to give you a little bit of hope, little bit of encouragement for these trying times that we're in. In fact, we got a couple of special things coming up for you this hour that may just do the trick. Some big news. In fact, the good news. We'll get to it right after this. Justin Barkley and this morning, the Glenn Beck Program.

How about some hope, some good news, some encouragement? Let's start with Pastor Lorenzo Sewell. You can't deny the power of God on this man's life. You can't deny that God protected him. You cannot deny that it was a millimeter miracle that was able to save this man's life. Could it be that Jesus Christ preserved.
- [83:58]
Commercial Speaker
Him for such a time as this?
- [84:01]
Justin Barkley
Could it be Detroit Pastor Lorenzo still speaking at the RNC about President Trump? Could it be that when we prayed for him, we he came to the round table in Detroit that Jesus asked and he received that we sought him and then he found protection? Could it be that the king of glory, the Lord God, strong and mighty, the God who is mighty in battle, protected Donald Trump because he wants to use him for such a time as this? If you believe that God, come on, put your hands together and give a great God, great glory. I don't know if the RNC expected that they were going to have a little church in there, but they sure got it. Pastor Lorenzo se Gosh, I gotta tell you, thank you and for doing this. Welcome onto the Glenn Beck program.
- [85:08]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so, Holy Ghost, happy to be here with you.
- [85:11]
Justin Barkley
Yes. Pastor well, the, you know, the reason why I want to talk is it's dual fold here. I mean, I want to give people obviously some hope. I want to give people, especially in some dark times, the encouragement to know that the good things are on the way in the natural, but also in the spiritual as well. I want to give people a little bit of that, a dose of that. And one of the stories I saw, I thought, got to talk about this. You're probably one of the best people I can think of to talk about it. But it's incredible story. Bible sales are booming and this is data that has been collected by folks who do publishing and things like that. 22% Bible sales are up 22% in the last year. And notably it's a shift actually for first time folks who have bought these Bibles. So the first time they've ever engaged. This is really something incredible. What do you think is happening and this good news?
- [86:17]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
You know, it's interesting that you say that because King Solomon, David's son, the wisest and the richest man of all time, he said that God put eternity in the heart of all people. Meaning that we all have a Holy Ghost hunger. We all have a desire, longing and a passion for Jesus to give us a real life encounter with Him. We all have a desire to understand that religion doesn't just do the rules and regulations just don't do. But we need a personal, intimate encounter with Jesus Christ. That's the only thing that will do. And this is the reason why people are buying Bibles, because they want to have an encounter with the same Jesus that I had an encounter with.
- [87:08]
Justin Barkley
Yeah, I. That's a good. That's a good. I think there is. There is something. There's a point that there's a hunger, I think, or a curiosity, naturally. And a lot of people even. I think even when you're looking at people who, especially nowadays in this day and age, they're looking and they're going in all kinds of different places for that connection, for that something, there's craving something deeper. You know, like there's. There's got to be more to this life. There's gotta be more to it than what I see on the surface. And maybe in the last few years, with everything that's going on and as bad as things have gotten, you know, President Trump, I know you talked about the millimeter miracle.
- [87:45]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Sure.
- [87:46]
Justin Barkley
When you gave that speech at rnc, President Trump was brought to his knees in that moment. And I think maybe the country has been as well.
- [87:55]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Absolutely. I mean, the Bible clearly shows us that God speaks through his word, his written word, he speaks through his. But he also speaks through circumstances. And I look at America, how we are essentially God's city, so to speak, that is set upon a hill. I think about how Americans have sent out literally hundreds of millions of missionaries since his inception. I think about being a black American and how white Christians taught black people how to read. Right. It was white Christians that started the Underground Railroad. It was. We have a history in this country of glorifying Jesus. And then in these last four years, we saw that the history of our country was going on the trajectory, quite frankly, where men were calling good evil and evil good. Where we were coming. We were becoming a Sodom and Gomorrah, so to speak, in our country. I'm not saying that America is perfect, but what I am saying is that American was. Was founded on Yale Christian principles whereby have allowed us to become the most prosperous and the most spiritual nation of all time. That's causing literally millions of people to want to come to America because of how Jesus has blessed our Country.
- [89:13]
Justin Barkley
Are we seeing a revival happening right now?
- [89:16]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Absolutely. I was. Listen, I have been all over this country. I was literally at the AM Festival with my good friend Charlie Kirk. I just got back from there. I have been all over this country praying in Republican context. And every single time, Justin, I was there, I lifted up the name of Jesus. There was not one time that any Republican looked at me and said, you need to say this a particular way. I have always been given the freedom to proclaim Christ and him crucified. And I believe that we are on the precipice and we're living in the revival. That Jesus has used this political moment as a spiritual moment, and we can tell by the data as it pertains to people buying Bibles.
- [90:04]
Justin Barkley
I was at, speaking of revivals, I was at Asbury University. I guess it was a little, maybe two years ago almost in Kentucky there, where they had a spontaneous breakout of this revival that took place. And I remember Tucker was still working at Fox News at the time, very interested in. He wanted to cover. They told him, said, don't come, because they didn't. I don't think they knew, you know, what he was going to do with it and what it was going to look like. But now, knowing how he's had such a transformation and what was going on in his life, I think he was really curious about it and wanted to shine a light on it. I've got to tell you, I've never seen anything like it. And the only way I can describe it is to tell you that it was like the kingdom of heaven had really settled down there on the campus of Asbury University. I had seen things I'd never seen before. People lined up like they were going to a football game. You know, they were lined up through this little, this little town there. And, and, and they were. They were like, trying to get into the. The auditorium there to, to have this encounter. And they came from all over. Pastor, I saw somebody, one of the stories that came from, I believe it was like Mexico bought a plane ticket, came here because they needed healing or something along these lines. The family desperately lost. Look, looking for that. People that come from all over the country just experience it, young people, and they were getting it. Things were happening that were just miraculous. So I see this and I see what's happened in our country. One of the things that I know Glenn's noted, in fact, I've had this conversation multiple times. But to see a win from President Trump, I often said, it does. The fix is in. I said the only way this happens if is if God intervenes and he gets all the credit. And I think we may have seen that. So my question, my question for you is after we've seen a year of miracles, what do we need to do to continue down that path and to see those things continue to happen? Because listen, winning this election is one thing and solving the problems and the real issues that we've seen in this country come to the forefront, boy, there's going to be a lot more than just an election that has to take place. I want to, if you can hang on the line, I want to get your answer to that big question, give you a moment to think about it. And we'll be back with Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who'll join us right after this on the Glenn Beck Program.

Justin Barkley
Foreign. You know this scripture has been, you know this has been a top of mind for a while now, but I think it really came to life in this last year. Pastor Lorenzo Se is with us right now from one any church in Detroit. And the, the, the, the scripture, I'm talking about this second Chronicles 7:14 and I know you're very familiar with this but if my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. I think we've seen this, but I still think there's more to come. What's on the horizon and what do we need to do to follow this through?
- [94:41]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Pastor Justin, you're filled with discernment at this moment to see that there is more. The Bible clearly says, do just justly love mercy and walk humbly before your God in Micah 6, 8. And the context of that verse is the poor being neglected. And as a black American, what I've seen is that we have 1,000 majority black cities in America. Can you imagine that in the state of Michigan, we have 14 majority black cities that represent 57 congressional districts all over this land. The one thing they all share in common is that these cities are literally the worst places to live in in America. Highest crime, highest poverty, highest overdose, highest foreclosures. The reason why Jesus allowed me to be in a position that I can be in now is to be a voice to the voiceless. And this is what I believe the Republican Party needs to do. We need to, number one, start Republican Black Caucus. We need to have a national movement of black conservatives that can go and lead in black cities. Now, someone would say, well, why would we do that? Because of election integrity. In the state of Michigan, we were told that 246,303 people voted in Detroit. We went to go and get our voter list. There are only 195,000 people on the voter list that was given to us in Detroit. We know that 50,000 people are missing, and we know that elections have been stolen in the city of Detroit. We know that. So when President Trump came in 2020 and he said election integrity, we knew, as black people, that's what we've been talking about the entire time. But nobody has listened to our voices. No one has been willing to stand up for us. So God has heard our prayers. He's heard our cries. The first thing we need to do is start the Black Republican Caucus, where we will train and equip black conservative leaders to go into black cities and begin to lead. Specifically, as it pertains to election integrity, that's Number one. Number two is the righteous regulation of resources. Three Rs, righteousness, regulation of resources. If we want to see our victory be sustained, if we want to continue this trajectory of momentum, we must have the righteous regulation of resources. As it pertains to hud, as it pertains to the Community Reinvestment act, which is cra, which is bank regulations, and as it pertains to sba, these regulate these resources, Justin, have never been regulated righteously. In poor black cities. That's the reason why they cheat, so they can steal these resources. But the devil is a liar. We will not allow him to steal from our communities anymore. And that's how we can continue to maintain the momentum that we have.
- [97:43]
Justin Barkley
Do you think when watching over the last year or so, and particularly in places like Detroit and Chicago, do you think that the black community is waking up to this because of what they're watching happening with illegal immigration?
- [97:56]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
Yes. Like where we are, we have 28 Venezuelans in our community. We literally have, in our community right now, where I'm standing, I'm in my church, our community, where I stand two blocks from where I am right now, we have entire blocks that literally black people have been moved out of and Venezuelans are there. As a matter of fact, Justin, it's so bad that before President Trump was elected, people were saying to my community, pastor, let us take the church bus for a three day trip, leave out of the country, come back into the country illegally so they can get more money on their bridge car and they can be able to get a. Have no background, have a clean background, have no, have nothing on their background in terms of legalities. So they're saying, so my community is saying it would be better for us to leave the country and come back in illegally because they feel like illegal immigrants get more than they do.
- [98:54]
Justin Barkley
It's incredible. I watch these things.
- [98:57]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
That's a real story.
- [98:58]
Justin Barkley
The injustice, it's, it's just, it hits so hard this time of year particularly. We just watched, there's a story out of New York City and this subway. I just saw this, this video again. And I gotta tell you, don't go looking for it because I think every time we see something like this, this, it really, it affects us in our soul. And I think in a way that it's horrific to watch, but we have to know that this type of thing is happening. So there's a man here in the country illegally, he sets a woman sleeping on fire in the subway. And it's wild to watch as this is happening, this is going on. Police are walking by, people are filming it. Nobody is helping. And then there's another clip with a man who sat on. And eventually he was the one who set her on fire. Then he went and sat on a bench and watched her. He gets up at one point and goes to almost fan the flames on this woman. And she's standing there. I watch this, I see Biden then commute the sentences of folks who are guilty of killing children and just a lot of horrific things that we've seen. Then we see folks who are sitting obviously in jails and gulags right now for 1-6-6 offenses, and yet there's no justice for them. There is no real justice in this country. There's really no righteousness at this moment. What do we got to do to see that restored?
- [100:28]
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell
As a people, we need to lift our voice. We know that God listens to the prayers of those who are the least of these, those who are the disenfranchised, marginalized, quite frankly, pushed aside. God listens to their prayers. But also we need to hold our legislators accountable and we need to hold Congress accountable. And as it pertains to things like election integrity, we need to have a congressional hearing. That's what I've asked Jim Jordan for. Congressman JIM Jordan and I've also asked our state legislature that we would bring people from our community in front of Congress and the legislature in order to ask the questions that that need to be asked in terms of voter integrity. And I'm also going to ask city council, which also has the power to subpoena people in our community, specifically our lieutenant governor, who Garland Gilchrist in Michigan. He talked about election integrity in 2017 when he lost the city clerk race. So this is a bipartisan issue and this is why I think we as a people, if we lift our voice collectively and hold people accountable, but we'll see the crooked way make straight in a rough way. Smooth.

Little Altar Boy I wonder, could you pray for Merry Christmas, the Glenbreak Program One thing left to do today, a very special thing Share with you the real story of Christmas for a child would be born to us. A son will be given us and the government will rest upon his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of his government or a peace on the throne of David and over his kingdom to establish it and uphold it with justice and righteousness. From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this. God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee, to a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. Gabriel appeared to her and said, greetings, favored one. The Lord is with you. Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what it could mean. Don't be frightened, Mary, the angel told her. God has chosen to bless you. You will become pregnant and have a son, and you are him. Well, guess what? Jesus. He will be very great and be called Son of the Most High. But Mary asked the angel, how can I have a baby? I'm a virgin. And the angel replied, the Holy Spirit. Spirit will come upon you. The power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby born to you will be holy and he will be called the Son of God. While Mary was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit and Joseph, her fiance, decided to break the engagement quietly so as not to disgrace her publicly. As he considered this, he fell asleep and the angel of the Lord appeared to him In a dream. Joseph, son of David. The angel said, don't be afraid to go ahead with your marriage to Mary, for the child in her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. She'll have a son, and you are to name him Jesus. He will save his people from their sin. All of this happened to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet. Behold, the virgin will conceive a child. She'll give birth to a son, and he will be called Emmanuel, meaning God with us. This prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 was given 700 years before Jesus was born. When Joseph woke up, he did with the angel. The Lord commanded him. He brought Mary home to be his wife. But she remained a virgin until her son was born. At that time, the Roman Emperor Augustus decreed that a census should be taken throughout all the Roman Empire. All returned home to their hometowns to register for the census. Because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David's ancient home. He traveled from the village of Nazareth in Galilee and took with him Mary, his wife, who was great with child. And while they were there, they came time for the baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child. Child, a son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and lied him in the manger. That night, there were shepherds in the field outside the village guarding their flocks of sheep. And suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened, but the angel reassured them. Do not be afraid, he said. I bring you good news of great joy for everyone. Savior. Yay. The Messiah. The Lord has been born tonight in the city of David. And this is how you'll recognize him. You'll find him a baby in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes. Suddenly, the angel was joined by the fast host of heaven. Heaven, the armies, praising God and saying, glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill to men. The angels left, and the shepherds said to each other, come, let us go to Bethlehem and see this wonderful thing that has happened that the Lord has told us about. So they ran to the village and found Mary and Joseph, and there was the baby lying in the manger. The shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said about the child. All who heard this story were astonished. The shepherds went back to the fields and flocks, glorifying and praising the Lord. Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the reign of King Herod. And at the same time came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, asking, where is the newborn king of the Jews? We've seen a star that arose and have come to worship him. Herod was deeply disturbed by their question, as was all of Jerusalem. He called a meeting of a leading priest and teachers of religious law. Where do the prophets say the Messiah will be born? He asked. In Bethlehem, they said, for this is what a prophet wrote. O Bethlehem of Judea, you're not just a lowly village of Judah, for a ruler will come to you who will be shepherd for my people Israel. This prophecy, found in Micah 5:2 and 2nd Samuel 5: and verse 2, were both written 700 years before Jesus Christ was ever born. So here it's sent a message to the wise men asking them to come see him. At this time meeting, he learned the exact time when they first saw the star, and he told them to go to Bethlehem. Search diligently for the child, and when you find him, come tell me that I may worship him too. After this meeting, the wise men went on their way. And once again the star appeared to guide them to bell Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy. They entered the house where the child and his mother were and they fell down and worshiped him. They opened their treasure chest and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. But when it came time to leave, they went another way because God had warned them in a dream not to return to Herod. After the wise men were gone, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. Get up. Flee to Egypt with the child and his mother. The angel said, stay there until I tell you to return, because Herod will try to kill the child. That very night, Joseph left for Egypt with the child and Mary his mother. They stayed there until Herod's death. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet. Out of Egypt I have called my son. Herod was furious when he learned that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the baby boys in and around Bethlehem who were 2 years old and under because the wise men had told him that the the star had first appeared to them about two years before. Then later, when Herod died, God's angel appeared in a dream of Joseph in Egypt. Get up. Take the child and his mother and return to Israel. All those who wish to murder the child are dead. So Joseph obeyed. He arose and took the child and his mother and re entered Israel. When he heard, though, that Herod's son had taken over as king in Judea, he was afraid to go there. But then Joseph was directed in a dream to go to the hills of Galilee. On arriving, he settled in the village of Nazareth, thus fulfilling the words of the prophets. For he should be called a Nazarene. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Hope. Can you feel it? Because it is in the air. If you can't yet, maybe you're just not close enough to the source of it yet. Like a candle burning off in the distance, that flame is still bright up close. The fire. You can still feel it right up close. But maybe as you can sense it, you can see it twinkling off in the dark. Maybe. Maybe if you. If you just move closer, you can really, really experience it. We have been moving closer and closer over the last year. I gotta tell you, I have experienced so many things in my own life, but also watching the miracles that are happening all around us on a daily basis in this country and what's coming, what's possible, not just here, but all around the world. It's opportunity. It's possibility. It's literally the difference between day and night, dark and light. We stood at the crossroads in this country. We stood and we contemplated. We looked at both roads and one led to death and destruction. And the loss of what's been so profoundly American, what's been so good in our lives, our way of life and our families, life itself. That existential threat that the left often talks about and accuses the right of being so, so much empty. It really, I believe we were there. We were on the precipice. Somehow we pulled ourselves back from the edge. We weren't alone. We were divinely impacted. You could feel on July 13th, in that moment, that miracle that saved this nation and certainly saved President Trump, that you, you could feel the hand of God, not just on him, but I believe, on our nation. Because what we survived that day, what we avoided, something that I don't even want to think about, contemplate, but the hope is the opportunity that means that there still remains work to be done, much of it over the next year or two, and much of it going to happen in the first 90 days of his presidency. On my radio show daily, I tell people, no matter what the headlines say, each and every day I remind them that no matter what, the God is still on the throne. That's the good news. I don't know what's coming in this year ahead, but what I do know is it's never been more true. No matter what we face, God is still on the throne. It's been an honor to be here with you filling in for Glenn on Christmas Eve. Each and every time I get to I it's one of the things that I am the most grateful for. This audience is like no other. It's an opportunity that I will never take for granted, and it's one that I hope I can give you a chance to reflect and maybe think about those wonderful things that are on the way in the new year and beyond. Let's stay in touch justinbarkley.com@ Mr. Justin Barclay on all the social media, as I wish you, from my family to yours and the whole family and the Glenn Beck Program, a very merry Christmas. God bless the Glenn Beck Program.
