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.

GLENN: There's a difference between a revival and an awakening. We are in a revival right now, but that doesn't necessarily lead to anything. Except, oh, I have to re-learn those principles. But that doesn't mean you apply them in your life. Okay?

That's an awakening. There's been two great awakenings in American history. One brought us the American Revolution. The second one brought us the Civil War and the freedom of slaves.

We have the possibility of going into a third great awakening. That's the only thing that will save us. If you don't know the difference between a revival and an awakening. Let me give you the negative print of a godly awakening. Our kids right now, they don't have any purpose. They don't have any meaning.

They look at everything, and it doesn't -- it's not real. None of it is real. It's money. It's fame.

It's -- you know, it's ever changing truths and definitions. And they have no purpose in their life. Okay?

So they're looking for that. Because man has to have purpose in his life. Man has to search for meaning.

So they're searching for meaning. And they found a group of people that actually mean something. And they're willing to die for it. And it's ISIS.

And so they're like, at least these people believe in something. They believe it. And they're willing to die for it. I'm going to stand with them. And they put that twisted understanding into action. That's the -- that is -- that's an awakening. It's just an awakening to the dark side. And that one is already happening. It has to happen on the good side. And let me speak directly to young men: Look, you are inheriting a very loud, angry, cynical and worst of all spiritually starving and malnourished society. And you are being sold a future of cheap pleasures and hollow heroes and screens with blue light that just rob you of your strength, one distracted second after another.

And in the middle of all that noise, may I just give you one piece of instruction. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praise-worthy, seek those things.

Don't admire them. Don't nod at them. Seek them!

Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things. A man who will do that. A boy. A young man who will do that, will become different. Noticeably different.

He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel.

He will become a curator of -- of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.

When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope!

When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he'll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep!

You want to know what the secret of becoming strong is, or becoming trusted, or becoming the kind of man that your future wife, your future children, your future nation can depend on?

Here it is!

You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. If you seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily. Like the steel glow of a blade being forged.

That's who you'll be.

The world has a plentiful, seemingly never-ending supply of angry boys. We don't need any more addicted boys.

We don't need any more distracted boys. The world needs men. Whole men. Clear-eyed men.

Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms, trying to own them!

Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser. Fill your days with work, hard work, that makes you stronger. Fill your home with beauty that lifts every soul who walks into it.

Have your home a place where people walk in and go, man, I say so great here. I just love it here. I don't know what it is about your house. I just love it. It's the spirit that's there! Because you built it! You protect it.

Protect your integrity like a watchman on the wall. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. And when you fail, and you will, stand back up again.

Because a man who seeks the virtuous, is not a man who never fails. He just -- he just becomes a man who refuses to stay on the ground.

If you seek things that are lovely and pure, trustworthy, praiseworthy, you'll become a kind of man this age almost never produces. A man whose very existence is a rebuke to the darkness.

That's your calling. That's why you were born.

Not to be lost. Not to play video games. Not to give up. Not to say, there's no hope. Not to end up in the trash bin of human history because you've -- you've taken so many drugs, you can't stand up straight anymore.

You're not destined to be alone.

You were destined for great things. You are destined to find an amazing woman!

Believe me. I didn't think I would ever find an amazing woman. Because I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think I was worth it.

And until I started understanding how God works. That, yeah. I'm not worth any of the stuff that I have.

When you realize, it's all a gift. It's all a gift. And even if you work your brains out, you may not ever get all the things that you want. But you're going to have everything you need. Once you realize, carefully selecting friends makes a difference. My mother used to always say, show me your friends. I will show you your future.

It's true. Be careful who you select as friends. Watch your language. Watch what you're putting into your brain and what's coming out of your mouth. Because the brain is so amazing. It's being turned to mush. Did you know that there is a new study that just came out. I have to tell you about it next week, maybe.

New study going out. It is -- it's AI. And it has access to social media, and they have found that the AI -- the AI that is scrolling through social media all day, just to keep updated on everything that's going on in social media. It's getting brain mush. It's actually becoming dumber. It's become less effective!

It's a machine. What do you think this, flesh and blood, this thing is going to do?

We say life is meaningless. And life is the only thing that has any value. And yet, we spend all of our time, on things like social media. And that has absolutely no value.

But we think that's life.

I'm not that smart. I've just lived a long time. And I've made so many mistakes.

And I decided at one point, I'm going to stop saying, it's somebody else's fault. I'm going to start saying. Maybe -- what did I do to create that?

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

Why is it that I always find myself involved with these same kind of people?

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

What you think, it's like -- it's like think of yourself as a -- as a beacon. It's just -- you're a beacon. Your GPS pin, that is constantly saying, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

Except, it's transmitting more than just your location. It's -- it's transmitting what you're looking for, who you are. And it's attracting other dropped pins to you. It's saying, "I like this. I think this way. I believe these things. I am afraid of these things."

Whatever it is, you're thinking. It's constantly putting that out.

And saying, here I am. Is there anything else like that?

Anything else that can reinforce that? Anything else that can live like this?

Because that's me. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

That's why you keep finding yourself in exactly the same situations. Nothing will change, if nothing changes!

And the only thing that you can change, is you!

Seek the things, that have virtue.

Seek the things, that have beauty in music, in -- in art, in life, in architecture, in clothing! Whatever it is. Look for real, lasting beauty and value.

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

Universally true. Find the things that uplift. Seek those things!

And you will change your life and your world!
