SHOCKING poll results prove EVIL in America IS SPREADING

In this clip, Glenn shares recent headlines that show just how troubled American society has become. And even worse, shocking poll numbers about religion in America prove just how fast evil is spreading. So, Christians are becoming discouraged. And, as a result of that discouragement, they’re abandoning God for more ‘hardline’ solutions to ‘clean up the mess,’ Glenn explains. But that is NOT the correct answer to solve this madness. In this clip, Glenn shares what the ONLY solution must be and the first step we all must take: 'It’s absolutely evil, and it’s time we start calling it by name.'

GLENN: So listen to this. How far has America come? This is from Mandell Maughanh, from the Daily Caller.

He is an opinion writer. He said, in C.S. Lewis' 1945 science fiction novel, That Hideous Strength, a group of Christian dissidents joined forces with the resurrected wizard Merlin to fight a techno Satanist conspiracy, that threatens to engulf Britain and then the world. After learning that Christianity has been torn to pieces, and speaks with a divided voice, merlin makes a bold suggestion: If all this West, all this west part of the world is apostate, might it not be lawful in our great need to look further, beyond Christianity.

Today, in our country, where progressives are rapidly mainstreaming Satanism, and the Oval Office is occupied by a devout Catholic, in parentheses, who praises the chemical castration of children. Many Americans are asking themselves the same question. You know, the one thing that bothers me about this. Is I don't just we've tried Christianity. I don't think we've been. It's kind of like the Bill of Rights. People are like, we got rid of the Constitution, it just doesn't work. We haven't done it for like 100 years. So, and have we really done Christianity?

I know a lot of people say they're Christian. I say I'm Christian. But I don't know. Do we live it every single take?

Are we striving to be closer to God, and to be better Christians? I haven't seen that movement. I feel like it's starting to bubble. But before we give up on Christianity, can we, I don't know, let's give it a whirl. Let's give it a whirl.

Six years ago, conservative Christians marched against Sharia law. Today, many would rather live under the Islamic crescent than under the Pride flag. And that might turn out to be the choice on offer.

Christians are slowly painfully learning that neutrality is a myth. Traditional adherence to the two faiths have already met common cause in resisting progressive tyranny. Anti-feminist. Anti-trans commentary from conservative Christian pundits like Matt Walsh and Candace Owens, have circulated widely among traditional Muslims.

In Dearborn, Michigan, Muslim parents have shut down a school board meeting after learning that a school board library, included among other titles, a guide book explaining the ins and outs of gay sex. Some figures on the fringes of the right are even praising or embracing Islam. This should bother you. And this is one step closer to the line that I fear we're walking right up to. And the only solution is Christianity. Practice Christianity. Love thy neighbor -- why is it being overwritten? Because Christians are losing hope, and saying, well, this isn't work. You haven't practiced religion, I contend, for most people. So what are they doing? They're looking for someone that is a little more hardlined to clean up the mess.

This is exactly what happened in Germany. Weimar republic. Been talking about this recently. Weimar republic, the first trans surgery happens in 1925. They open a university of sexology. They start pumping out LGBTQ and transgender stuff. It permeates the culture. That's what the movie Cabaret is really all about. It permeates the culture.

It degrades the culture. It starts to seep into the school. Pedophilia rears its ugly head. And people have had enough of it.

When there is another choice, they try and fight. But the churches are already dead.

And so people look to something else. And the something else, is Adolf Hitler.

Because the first year or so, all he's talking about is making Germans moral again. And so he goes in, and he destroys it.

And what did everyone say? All the people said, well, you know what, he is so ridiculous. No one is ever going to listen to him. But he'll get the job done, and then we'll take back the power. It doesn't work that way. I don't want to live under a -- a crescent flag, thank you. Sharia law, not for me. But the left is pushing and pushing and pushing. Monday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that they had reversed course again, and now have reinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to be honored at their June 16, Pride Night Festivities.

The drag queens, who dress as nuns, accepted an apology, and will receive the community hero award, at the Dodgers Tenth Annual LGBTQ+ Pride night. They are being cited for the life-saving work that they have done tirelessly.

So these, quote, unquote, nuns, all drag queens. Their slogan is go forth and sin some more.

Are doing life-saving work. Uh-huh. They're also mocking Christians. They are, you know, diabolical in -- in nature. Opposing the things that Christians believe. So the Dodgers said, we're not going to do this, because the Catholics went crazy. Well, apparently Catholics don't have as much power anymore as the drag queen community.

Let me give you this story. You remember a story I told you about the transgender pedophile? That took his 7-year-old daughter and made movies with her and other pedophiles. And they were rape movies over and over and over again. And it was absolutely horrendous.

Okay. He was convicted. He's now in the women's prison. And he is suing now. Because he says, he and the entire Wiccan population at the prison. He's a witch. He said, they've suffered religious discrimination, and we seek religious accommodations.

Now, as TheBlaze reported a couple of weeks ago, after serving as president of the Clark County Queer Association, he started an amateur transgendered pornography film business. He and three other degenerates. One of them is now a fellow inmate at the women's prison with him.

There's two guys now fully intact in the women's prison. He -- he did what the judge said was, if not heinous, cruel, and depraved, I don't know what is. So he was convicted. He was sent into prison.

He and his fellow transvestic child rapists are there, and they are trying to hold religious services. And he wants certain items, including a witch's cloak.

That's a brown hoodless cloak. It is one of the personal religious items that he says he needs. Other items, the book Of Shadows. A divination tool. Pentacles. Pentagrams. Ruin cards. Salt. And chalices. I don't know. I say no. I say no.

This is -- this is -- this is why John Adams said: If you're not a religious and moral people, this system will fall. It's not made for the opposite.

You have to have your own morals.

You have to have your own standards. And as a society, we have no more standards.

So you can just argue, oh, yeah. The guy is a Satan worshiper. Yeah. Give him the chalice. Sure. Sure.

No. No. Washington State, now spending $83,000 of taxpayer money on training drag queen story hours. Washington State is spending that money, and they're going to feature the director of drag queen story hour.

Hmm. Titled Washington DEI, empowerment conference. The training is set to have talks that include diversity, antiracism, and equity.

Michael -- or Hayden Michaels, the deputy communication director. Of the auspice of financial management said, we expect the cost of putting on the conference to be $83,000.

16 sessions. 5,000 seats, each session.

That's about a dollar per seat, he said. Yeah. I don't think the problem is the money. Really? Quite honestly.

It's a drag story hour, and fireside chat.

How about San Francisco?

They've just named their first drag laureate.

The drag laureate, promoting the city's queer culture and community, mayor declared the official job description as being fabulous, all of the time.

It comes with a $55,000 stipend, for the 18-month position. It's part of the program, from the mayor's office. And the public library.

The Tampa Pride on the river event, been canceled due to a series of anti-groomer bills, passed by the Florida legislature, and signed into law.

Everybody is upset with this, they say.

I have a feeling, not everybody is upset with this. Democratic governor, declares state of emergency, in North Carolina. The democratic governor of North Carolina. Declared the state of emergency, in education. After the legislature voted for school choice.

Now, they voted so quickly and so cleanly on this. He says, they're trying to starve public education by dropping a bomb on public education.

This is the problem here is, they're not choking the life out of it. He doesn't like the ruling. He's going to declare an emergency. Because why?

His veto will be overridden.

High school. Lake Ridge High School.

The students there, the male students had been removing tampon dispensers off the walls of the boy's bathrooms. Apparently, the boys in Oregon state, don't agree with the requirement that public schools supply free tampons and sanitary pads, for boys. Let me tell you again. Boys and men do not menstruate. If you are a boy or a man, there's no need for that product. So why would we put menstruation products into a boy's restroom? Do not deny the truth. Boys don't need that. No matter what society may call them, they are clearly girls, because boys do not menstruate.

So these are the headlines, today. Are we headed in the right direction or the wrong direction? Is our solution, of I guess giving up or teeming with people, who are even -- who have a spine like those who like Sharia law. Is that the right direction?

These numbers have changed a great deal. 34 percent of Americans never go to church. That's the highest recorded in five decades.

Another report from the public religion research institute, said 27 percent of Americans, claim no religion. Up from 19, in 2012.

And 16 percent in 2006. Twenty-seven from 16. The share of Americans who identify as white evangelical Protestants has dwindled from 23 to 14 percent. Share of mainline white Protestants has fallen from 18 to 14. White Catholics have declined from 16 percent. Population to 13.

Now, do we believe in God? Are we going to church? Nearly three-quarters of people, believe in life after death. So 75 percent of us believe in life after death, but just less than 50 percent of us believe in God.

Is this a case for the Space Octopus people? I'm not sure.

Only 7 percent of people do not believe in God. Seven. They're mostly, if not all, are Democrats. Religious scholars say this is the gold standard of surveys on faith. 29 percent of Americans claiming no religion. At all. That is also up.

So what is happening? Well, as we are getting less and less religious, and I'm not pushing any religion.

Because I -- I find God myself.

But religion -- religion is a framework.

And I think we all need different framework.

But my faith gives me the framework that teaches me how to live. To be a Christian.

And whatever that framework is. If you're just going. And it doesn't require you to change, you're not really going. Church is just a thing you do.

Church is outside of the walls of the little building you go to.

Religion is where you get those instructions to go do things outside of the walls of the church, every Sunday.

So what is the solution here?

The solution we are ignoring. The solution is getting weaker and weaker. We are getting further and further away from the solution.

If you don't see that evil has reared its ugly head at this point, you may never see it.

If you just think that this is, I don't know.

What?

Another day in America? That these things that you're seeing every day, are normal?

I don't know how to talk to that person. I really don't. Look at what is happening, in our society, in our world. In our schools.

To our children. It is absolutely evil.

And it's time we start calling it, by name.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
