89-year-old pro-lifer ARRESTED by Biden's DoJ Ready to Die in Prison

89-year-old Eva Edl — a survivor of Nazi invasion and a communist concentration camp — was recently arrested by Biden’s Department of Justice for praying and peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic. She now faces 10 years in prison for violating the FACE Act. But before her sentencing, she spoke with Glenn about how we got here in the first place. How did people become so accepting of abortion? How did America’s courts, which she thought were beacons of freedom when she immigrated here, become tools of political movements? And why is the same government that let Biden off the hook because of his age arresting 89-year-olds for THIS? “I’m prepared to die in there,” Eva says about prison. “And I’m not afraid.”

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

As you know, we are big pro-life advocates.

And right now, pro-life is scratching their head. Wondering what they will do. Because Donald Trump, I don't know where he stands on abortion. I don't know if this is a -- something he's saying to get elected, which politicians sometimes do.

I don't know. I know what he was last time, he was president. But a lot of people are saying, I can't vote for the Republicans now, because they're not standing up for life. Well, neither side is standing up for life.

And I'm sorry, sitting this election out, is not an option. If you care about life, I know what Kamala Harris will do. I know what that means. She seems to celebrate death. And look what they've done with the Face Act and everything else. I think all pro-life organizations could be outlawed by Harris because they're trying to do it now. You have no choice on this one, if -- because the -- this is about changing hearts and minds. You won't be allowed to, under Harris!

And that's not hyperbole.

I want to tell you a story of a woman, she was born in 1935. She was born in Yugoslavia, which is now Serbia.

When she was young, she experienced the invasion and occupation of her country by Nazi Germany, in league with Hungary. Then the war ended.

World War II. And a new Communist government came in. And Tito, who was the leader, legalized the extermination of all citizens of ethnic German ancestry. So she's nine years old.

And they come for her family. And they separate her from her family. And ship them all from a communist concentration camp to be starved to death. Yeah. We don't really talk about Communism enough, do we?

After a miraculous reunion with her mom and siblings, Eva was able to escape to Austria.

She spent eight years in a refugee camp. Before immigrating to the United States. When biographers legalized in 1973, she saw the similarities between the legalization of abortion, and the legalization of extermination of her ethnic group.

Since then, she has been tirelessly trying to save Preborn babies from being aborted. She is now 89 years old.

She was arrested by this DOJ, and charged with crimes against the Face Act. She was found guilty for peacefully standing and asking women to not do it.

She has been sentenced -- or she's going to be sentenced September 26th.

She is facing ten years, in a prison.

She is a little nervous about coming on. She shouldn't be. She's in a very friendly place. Eva Edl, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program. How are you?

EVA: I'm fine, thank you.

GLENN: I've been looking forward to talking to you, since I first read this story. What -- what are your thoughts about what has happened to you in the past, and what is happening now?

EVA: Well, there is really no difference. You know, I've heard it said, our natural mind can justify anything our evil hearts want to do.

During World War II, as we all know, the Nazis justified the extermination of Jews and gypsies and other people. Simply by using the phrases that they're not quite human yet.

According to their evolutionary theory.

GLENN: Correct.

EVA: Well, then, at the end of the war, when the communists came in, they decided, to just say, because you -- you are of an ethnic background of a certain group.

Your blood is already evil.

So even as your newborn baby. You are evil in of yourself. And have to be exterminated. And that was their excuse. But I think the main reason for all of it was greed.

Because now everybody has our -- our fields and our factories, given to them, because they were communists.

That was promised to them. And Nazi Germany, they had other reasons, I suppose.

But right now, why are we exterminating babies?

Because we're selfish. Nothing has changed. Well, I have to say this to my colleagues or anything else.

But if we don't watch it, the next group of people, will be exterminated. You know who that is going to be. The elderly.

The sick. The handicapped. Because it will cost us too much.

Nothing has changed. Evil minds just find different excuses.

GLENN: So the thought of you being in prison and receiving a sentence up to ten years, how are you dealing with that?

EVA: Well, I'm prepared to die in there. And I'm not afraid. Really. And I believe in the Lord Jesus. I have eternal life now, in him. And so why would I be afraid?

The main reason I'm doing what I'm doing is simply in obedience to him. He said in John 14, he said, he who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me.

And I love him, and therefore I keep his chapter.

And the same one in Matthew 7 -- 7:12. We call it the Golden Rule. Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. Well, when I look back at my life, as a child, when I was pushed in that cattle car, and nearly choked to death because we were so tightly put together, well, I wish that somebody in my country would have loved Jesus enough to risk their own freedom or even their lives and the berried in front of that train and stood on those railroad tracks to keep us from being shipped in there. Well, this is basically what I'm doing.

Because if somebody had stopped the train, when the guards would have been busy, trying to arrest those people. Another group could have come in. Pried open our cattle car, and perhaps saved our lives.

And when I stand in front of those clinic doors, I'm just buying time, for our sidewalk counselors to reach women, in a calm and quiet way, and the touch their hearts.

I stood on the sidewalk for many years. I was a sidewalk counselor for many years. And a rescuer. But when you're so far away from the women as they jump out of the car. You have only a few seconds, but you have to shout, in order to be heard.

Which sounds like you're screaming at them. But by standing in front of the door and buying time for our sidewalk counselors to -- to approach women, it's much more effective, I believe. And women get help. And there are many that are just grateful afterwards, that we were there. And kept them from murdering their own babies.

GLENN: Did you ever think you would be facing prison in America?

EVA: Oh, no. No.

When I came here, I was so idealistic. This was the land of the free and the brave. And I thought, if I ever ended up in court, all I would have to do is explain my situation. If I were innocent. And, of course, I would be set free.

I found out very differently, nowadays.

GLENN: How do you -- I mean, I have been saying for a long time, now, Eva. That we are repeating the same story that man has repeated over and over again.

And the last time, in the 1930s and '40s.

You see that same seed, here in America now?

EVA: Yes. We're far. Far gone already. Honestly.

Because when good men do nothing, evil will prosper.

In the '70s, or '69, when I first heard the word abortion, I knew instinctively, that it was the killing of a human being inside the womb.

And most people in those days, unless you were one that wanted to have an abortion, would -- would know, that it's a human life growing inside the mother.

But we have now several generations brainwashed by believing that, well, it's not quite human yet.

Well, at -- is it a tumor at first? When does a tumor turn into a human life? At what time in development?

No, human beings are human beings from the moment of conception. And we all knew that in the '50s in the '40s.

And abortions were still performed. However, the people who did it, knew it was wrong.

Now they feel totally justified. Because they have been brainwashed.

GLENN: Eva, I -- I don't know if this is me, or coming from outside of me.

But I am compelled to ask you, before you leave.

If you would just say a prayer for us. And lead us in a short prayer.

Would you be willing to do that?

EVA: Right now?

GLENN: Yes.

EVA: I would be glad to. Father God, Lord, we humbly come in the name of Jesus, Lord our nation is in dire trouble, Lord God. We are ripe for judgment, Lord. And if we don't change, you have to judge us. Because the blood of these innocents that they have been murdered throughout the year, not just 60 million, many more, Lord.

Innocent blood cries out for justice. And, Lord, there is still no repentance in our nation, that is evident. Only in some pockets.

Father, I just pray, in your mercy, give us a spirit of humility and repentance before you.

Let your church arise and love you, Jesus by obeying you, Lord. Lord, we ask you, in Jesus' name, father. That you will shake our consciences and bring us into -- into obedience before you.

Lord, and have mercy on this nation. Lord, have mercy on this nation.

Because you will not have to judge us, in Jesus' name.

GLENN: Eva, thank you very much. It is an honor to speak to you.

God bless you.

EVA: You too.

GLENN: That is Eva Edl. She is a survivor of a concentration camp in Communist Yugoslavia. And has been arrested and convicted by the Harris/Biden regime, of violating the Face Act. They're going to sentence her next month. And she is facing ten years in prison.

EXCLUSIVE: Chip Roy Explains His FIERY Rejection of Spending Bill

According to the media, there’s a big fight going on between Republicans over the House’s new slimmed-down continuing resolution spending bill. Some, including President-elect Donald Trump, wanted the bill to pass. But others, like Texas Representative Chip Roy, argued that it still wasn’t ready. However, is the Republican “unity coalition” really crumbling, like the media claims? Rep. Chip Roy joins Glenn to explain what’s really going on. He argues that he IS trying to give Trump and DOGE a 100-day “runway” to fix the country. But he makes the case that, by increasing the debt ceiling by $5 trillion without agreeing on other cuts, this bill gives bad actors the ability to be an “obstacle” to Trump’s agenda further down the line. Plus, he reveals to Glenn that he believes some of these bad actors LEAKED false information about his stance to Mar-a-Lago.

GLENN:

I think we have a great opportunity today. To show you how to have a -- tough conversation, with friends, friends. Where you deeply disagree on something.

But you know that their intent is good. They know my intent is good. Or our intent is good.

And we actually have the same end goal, but we disagree on the path. And we're going to walk away friends.

Chip Roy is joining us today. And, Chip, I love you. And I always will. And I agree with your, we've got to cut spending. We have to. But Liz Wheeler is with me. And we've been talking about it all morning. It's the -- the -- the -- the system of DOGE and Trump, the call-out to the world, in saying, you've got to surrender the Capitol. You know, the bad guys are in and about to take all the money.

Surround, and tell them, come out with your hands up. And that happened. And we scored a massive win, in an entirely new way.

Ask then you stood on principle, one we both agree with.

And it failed!

And so here's -- here's what Liz and I were talking about. Here's what we want to say to you.

And then get your response.

LIZ: Hi, Congressman Roy, this is the way I see it. I want your take on it. I love you. I think you're one of the best members of Congress. I disagree with you on the process that's happening. And I think that is the difference. The process. We elected Donald Trump to be a disruptor. Because Republican members of Congress for decades have been telling they're fiscal conservatives. They want to decrease the debt SEAL. It hasn't happened.

It hasn't -- it hasn't been done. And so Donald Trump comes in with Elon Musk, and uses this DOGE process to first identify these pieces of garbage in the first 1500-page bill. And take those things to the people. We took them to members of Congress. Congress said, okay. We'll listen to you.

So that new process was very effective.

And my question to you is: Once that process was proved to be effective. Which I think is exciting and wonderful.

How do we bridge this divide, with you, to say, okay.

Let's put some faith in this new process. And trust Elon Musk and Donald Trump and the Dow Jones process, to eventually address the debt ceiling, but get this done right now?

GLENN: And not blind trust. Chip.

CHIP: So appreciate you guys. Appreciate being on the show. Particular order. I have to go through a couple of things.

GLENN: Yep.

CHIP: Number one, it's important to remember that my job and my duty is to the Constitution, to God, and the people I represent. I told them, when I came to Washington, I would not -- I would not let the credit card and the debt ceiling and the borrowing of the United States without the spending restraints necessary to offset it.

GLENN: Okay.

CHIP: Right now, all we have are promises and ideas and notions. What I know, that neither of you respectfully no, and that none of your listeners respectfully no are the people that are in the room, that I was in with yesterday. And the day before, who are recalcitrant.

And do not want to do the spending cuts that we need to do.

That I believe the president and the DOGE guys. And everybody want to do.

My job, is to force that through the meat grinder. To demand that we do our damn job. Okay?

GLENN: Okay. So hang on. Okay. So wait. Wait. You're right. You're right. You're right. Go ahead.

CHIP: Number thee, when we were going through the bill, I'm glad the bill dropped from 1,550 pages to 116 pages. Three-quarters of Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it, have been out there spreading false facts that we supported a bad bill and didn't like the better bill.

That's not true. But let's be Lear. The 1400 pages that were cut out. It's a panacea.

There were some good stuff in there. There were some bad stuff in there. There was a lot of disinformation.

There wasn't a $70,000 pay raise. There was a 3,000-dollar pay raise.

I didn't support any pay raise. I didn't support a lot of the stuff in there.

But there's a lot of misinformation. And here's the thing: The 116 pages that were left, and I opposed violently the first bill. I was leading the charge on fighting and killing the first bill.

GLENN: And I love you.

LIZ: The second bill for 116 pages. Turned off -- turned off the pay go requirement. That we slash 1.7 trillion automatically.

And added a 5 trillion that are increase.

My view was, I could not support that, without a clear understanding of what cuts we would get, in mandatory spending next year. And undo any of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The undoing of the student loans. The undoing of the crap with the food stamps.

And everything else. I yield back.

GLENN: Okay. I yield back.

Chip, you're not in a hostile room. We love you. And we agree with your end goals. It's our end goal too. We didn't make that promise that you made to the people that voted for you. So we have more wiggle room here.

But you say -- I think our big difference is, you say, I know the guys in the room.

You're right. You do. And we -- we ceded that earlier today on the show.

You are -- one of us is wrong on trust.

I don't trust any of the weasels in Washington.

But I think Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have earned enough trust, to get a grace period, here for the first -- maybe the first year.

Or at least six months.

To turn the economy around, and also reduce the size of the government.

And totally flip this thing.

And I know, as somebody who is -- you know, run a company, mainly into a ground. But run a company, and have to switch it, in the middle, and totally reshuffle. That -- that actually costs money, while you're doing it, to bridge the gap.

Because you have to fill up holes while you're filling in the gap.

You don't trust the people in the room. Neither do we.

But we do trust the system that worked on Wednesday with DOGE and Donald Trump.

Where do we disagree?

Can you give them --

CHIP: We don't disagree. And yesterday morning, I was making that precise argument in a room full of conservatives and then a follow-up room with people who will call it, less conservatives.

GLENN: Republican. Yes.

CHIP: And so we were making this argument. And then someone infamously. Something leaked out of the room, somehow out to Mar-a-Lago. That I was being resistant. Because I was negotiating trying to get the agreement to achieve the objective that you just said. I was trying to get, okay. In fact, yesterday morning, I made the argument to a group of conservatives. We need to give the president runway. We need to give him his first 100 days. We need to appreciate JD, and Vivek, and all the people -- and everybody involved. For the president to achieve the objective.

But to get there. We have to make sure that the guys in the room, that are an obstacle to that, don't have the ability to block it.

Because information flow matters. And when those guys tell the president, they can't achieve X.

Then the president will not achieve X. Our job was to force and demand, guys, we need actual understanding of what the cuts will be.

And because otherwise, we're asking us to accept a 5 trillion-dollar limit in our credit card increase. In exchange for nothing!

Literally, in exchange for nothing, but -- but hope.

So our job was to force that change.

Unfortunately, while I was trying to make the argument that we needed something in order to get the votes, someone leaked that down to Mar-a-Lago, and the president reacted.

But now I have to now manage that.

GLENN: Right. I know. I know.

CHIP: They're trying to enforce change in town.

GLENN: So hang on.

We have to leave this. Because I'm going to run against the clock.

I could talk to you all day about this. You were in a meeting this morning about J.D. Vance. Can you tell us anything about that meeting?

CHIP: That meeting happened, because despite what happened yesterday, I'm trying to get this done. Last night, talking to JD, we worked to get this meeting done. We had some good progress this morning.

But there still remains people concerned about spending. That we can work out, what agreement we can reach. On what spending cuts. We can actually get next year, in exchange for giving the vote on a debt ceiling increase.

So it remains fluid. Progress was made. But we have to keep working on it.

And I left that meeting to talk to you. Soil get an update in a minute.

GLENN: Thank you for that, by the way.

I hear there is a new bill that may be coming today.

Is that the one you're talking about?

Or is this another bill that could be another nightmare?

CHIP: Despite other people leaking crap, I refused. I can't say, because it's not been decided by the speaker.

And it's not right to talk about things they're talking about in private meetings.

GLENN: Yeah, but it's -- it's this speaker. I mean, is he really the speaker anymore, Chip, really?

CHIP: We need to hear what bill we need to get forward. And I can't talk about the private meetings. But, look, I'm going to keep fighting for what I promised people that I represent.

I'm going to fight to cut spending. I am going to represent article one.

I'm going to support the president's agenda, but we've got to do that together.

GLENN: Okay.

Chip, thank you.

I think we can -- I think we agree, but I await to see what that means to you. Because we may just have to agree to disagree on this.

But I love you. And I still want you to replace Cornyn.

CHIP: The short version is, for inflation's sake, we cannot increase the debt ceiling $5 trillion without knowing what we're getting for it.

And I don't think anybody should disagree with that.

GLENN: But you don't disagree that Elon Musk and Trump and Vivek are serious about gutting the system.

CHIP: I believe that is their objective. I believe there are obstacles to that objective. And I need to know the sincerity of how we deal with those obstacles, both structural, and human. And we have to figure that out. And that's my job.

America's Favorite Villain Is Ready for Nuclear Fallout. Are You? | Glenn TV | Ep 401

In this episode of Glenn TV — a theatrical how-to guide to survive the breakdown of society after a nuclear attack, according to the new movie “Homestead” from Angel Studios. Glenn Beck interviews the movie’s star and executive producer, Neal McDonough, who plays the head of a family trying to survive as society is breaking down in a postapocalyptic world. You’ve probably seen Neal in everything from the hit TV shows “Yellowstone,” “Suits,” and “Justified” to movies like “Captain America,” “Minority Report,” and the groundbreaking mini-series “Band of Brothers.” Glenn asks Neal what it’s like to play a villain so often, how TV and movies are changing, and how he survived Hollywood as a devoted Christian and husband who refuses to do onscreen kissing scenes with any of his female co-stars. They also discuss his battle with alcoholism, what it’s like working the legends like Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Costner, and the cultural craving for Western cinema.
