Glenn: The only chance of survival is to change your heart

June 13, 2013

Glenn became emotional on radio today as he talked about what is coming in the days ahead with the immigration battle and other political fights. Progressives have already nudged and nudged - with the IRS and other scandals - the only thing left is a shove. We must be ready to stand our ground - and the only way to successfully do that is by changing our hearts. Glenn explains on radio today.

There is a story on the front page of TheBlaze now, the leading story, and it just was posted and it is trending big quickly and I need you to get this out as soon as you can and really educate yourself on this and make a decision on where you ‑‑ where you stand on this. It is a story, revolt among Republicans on immigration bill. 70 House members risk career in planned showdown with John Boehner, and everyone else involved in this. This is a ‑‑ this is a very ‑‑ this is the beginning or the end of the TEA Party, quite honestly, those with real value. Because they are going to be destroyed by this or they will be victorious. This is probably akin to the Rand Paul moment where he turned drones around. If the American people choose not to stand with them in a very visible way ‑‑ and I warn you, listen to me carefully: There will be those who join your ranks that are trying to pretend that they are you and they will be racist, they will carry racist signs. They are not on your side because they're not real. There may be some racists that join your ranks as real racists, but they are not a friend of the Constitution; they are not a friend of yours. And most likely, only because I read Cass Sunstein and I take the man seriously, as everyone should now that the IRS has done their job, I warn you, you will be infiltrated. And... now... is... the time.

I have begged you for years do the 40‑day, 40‑night challenge. Get the bad stuff out of your life. Don't hate. Serve. Love. Be charitable. Be good. Charity for all. It is time to double our efforts on serving others, and the reason we serve others is so that we do not change. Our hearts are going to be hardened. They are going to do everything they can. They already have. They have done everything they can to piss you off. It is only going to get worse. We are approaching the days of sicking dogs on people. They've already done all of their nudges. They did it with the IRS, they did it with the snooping. They are doing all of the nudges. The shoves are about to become part of your life. And it is ‑‑ it is essential.

Let me say some things that are probably going to lose respect for me, but... I have a hard time reading the scriptures. I have a hard time reading the Bible, all the thees and the thous and everything else. And I have told you, I have told you I think pieces of this in the past that I know where I am headed on two fronts, and I'm not going to get much more specific here. Next hour I'm going to tell you about the second front. But the first front ‑‑ the second front I like; the first front I don't, and it's a front that I have avoided like the plague. I've avoided it for a couple of reasons: Because in my head I think I know what it means, but I don't. In my head you don't want to be anywhere around someone like Martin Luther King because it leads to misery. I... there are just a very few things that I know in me for sure, and I know that we are not battling enemies of ours; we are battling enemies of His. And so they are His to take care of, and He will. We have to have the full armor of God on us, and I don't know how all of this works, but I know that the Black‑Robe Regiment plays a role. The Black‑Robe Regiment are Jews and Christians coming together, preachers and pastors and rabbis, priests coming together and standing together and putting all differences aside for the civil rights of man. Not playing politics, that's where you will get lost. If you start to worry about your ‑‑ if you will start worrying about your congregation and what they'll say, if you start worrying about how much money you will lose, you will lose. Don't pay any mind to where you are going to get your food or your clothing. Don't pay any mind to that. Know that somehow or another if you're doing the right thing, those things will be taken care of if you're a preacher or a pastor or rabbi. If you are standing for individual communication, individual responsibility to God, not some sort of a collective salvation. It happened before, and I know this to be true. And when we started in Washington, I was prompted that there needs to be a Black‑Robe Regiment again. I didn't even know what it was. And David said, "You're repeating history," and he explained it to me. And it's what the founders had, it's what the abolitionists had, it's what Martin Luther King had. It's what they tried to put together with people like Jim Wallis, but we know who he is and we dismiss him.

I will tell you that it has grown stronger in me and you have heard me talk about it on the air. I have been calling out the preachers and the pastors and the rabbis. And I don't know what you're doing with your priesthood, but if you have not done something that somebody without their priesthood cannot do, if you're not living your life at a much higher level, you will lose that power. If you are not on the edge, if you are not raising a standard for all man to see, you will lose that ability and that station.

I said to somebody the other day, they wrote to me and they said, you know, "I think, Glenn, that you are, you know, you're a leader of this and that." And I said, I don't know if that is true, but I have to stop, I have to stop rejecting things because I look at the giants of the past. I look at the George Washingtons and the Adams and all of those people, and I can see the potential in other people to be that, but I can never see the potential of me to be somebody greater than me. And that's a lie of the darkness. And I will bet you that George Washington and Sam Adams and Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King and Gandhi and all of them did not see themselves as those people. Those people were made into giants a lot later by other people. They just did the right thing and the right thing, the really right thing is total self‑sacrifice. If you lose your life for his sake, you will gain it. It doesn't make sense to a lot of people and those who wish to take things out of context will say I'm talking about suicide bombing. No. Behind me is a picture of Martin Luther King. It is the only one that is in the public domain that I can put on this set because the King family holds such a tight rein on everything. And the reason why it's in the public domain is because it is his arrest picture. He lost his life, his freedom, not for his own glorification but because it was right. And I can tell you he didn't want to do it. He knew what he was facing, as do all giants. Will you be a giant? You have been asking for giants. Find the giant inside of you. Look for those who are now taking a risk.

You have the guy from the NSA. I don't think this guy necessarily is a hero. I don't know who he is. I don't know enough about him. But the act itself is heroic. He tried to do it the right way. Who do you trust? He tried to do is the right way. He tried to get the word out. And now the media and everybody else is demonizing him. He's warning the people, "Your freedom is at stake." And how many are listening?

You have 70 people now, according to this story now with TheBlaze. I had a meeting with many of them. I looked them in the eye. Some of them I don't know; others I know. And they know this is it. The time is now. The time for political stuff to happen like the revolt is now. The time as a TEA Party member to stand is now. The time for the Black‑Robe Regiment is now.

Something happened on Capitol Hill that I won't discuss now, and I went. Something happened and I said this, I know, I said to this individual, I know, I'm on that. I know; I can't believe you're saying that. David Barton happened to be there about an hour later and I said, David, I have to tell you I have this piece, and I'm telling you the Black‑Robe Regiment must start right now. And he said, Glenn ‑‑ he shook his head and he said, "Glenn, itches just on the plane and I wrote a memo today, but the Black‑Robe Regiment, it has to start now. I just got an e‑mail from Jeff Allen. Jeff Allen's a comedian but he's spiritually in touch but he said, Glenn, I don't even know what this means. He said, I know you've been talking about things for a while, he said, but I can't sleep at night. I've been kept awake for the last few days. I have to ask you: What are you doing with the Black‑Robe Regiment? Because the time is right now. I know. I know. I know. If you haven't prepared to change your life, please. Please change it today. And change it for the better. Change it for all of the right reasons. Get all of the darkness out of you. There are ‑‑ a miracle is a change of perspective.

I'm working currently on, believe it or not, July 4th, 2014 now. And I told somebody the story this morning and I told them just the opening of it and they said, oh, my gosh, I never thought of that about the pilgrims. I said, what do you mean? And he said, the way you described the prayer, they all got together and they were not praying for the outside world to change. They were praying for their change, that they could be better. Even though all those around them were mocking, they weren't praying. They were praying for their heart to be softened. That they could be better. They're not going to change those other people. Treasure has been gathered up from all the world and bought all of the armies and the navies. It was purchased with blood money. You're not going to change those people. You're only going to get frustrated. You must change yourself. And the only way you will attract people is not through political rhetoric, not through anything. And I say this as such a flawed vessel. Do you know how many people the Lord had to go through to get to a recovering alcoholic Mormon? He had to go through a ton of people who just in the end were too weak to stand. I am a flawed person coming to you. I have no credibility on this at all. I'm a guy who has a hard time reading the scriptures and everything else, but I'm telling you... the only chance of survival is if you change your heart. It's hard because you got a lifetime built up. And even I have a lifetime. I said something last week, I said, I don't want to say divisive things anymore. And that day I called the First Lady a monster.

We're all trying. But set your feet on the path now. I know with everything in me, everything in me. Now is the time. And we are the people. It is you. Put aside all of your silly little belief that you don't play a role. Put it aside. Those are childish things. You are the person. We all are. And everyone's service is required at this time.

Critical theory destroys truth and justice

Editor's note: This article was originally published on TheBlaze.com.

Critical theory once stood out as the absurd progressive notion that it is. Now, its maxims are becoming an integral part of ordinary political discourse. The more you repeat a lie, the more you will believe it, and this is the very dangerous place in which we find ourselves today.

Take this critical theory maxim as an example: If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice. It's a necessary evil, if you will, the necessity of “controlled injustice.”

By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we’ll save the republic. We’ll be acting in a noble way.

This definition of justice is defined by the “oppressed,” not the “oppressor.” It is the greatest happiness for the greatest number. To achieve this justice, however, we need to endorse acts on occasion that, while seemingly unjust, serve a higher purpose. It will ensure the stability and the unity of our republic, and this may manifest in ways that seem contradictory to our values. But these are the necessary shadows to cast light on “true justice.”

And isn’t that what we are all after, anyway?

Here’s another critical theory maxim: Sometimes we find the truth through fabrication. Our pursuit of truth sometimes requires a strategic use of falsehoods. The truth is a construct that has been shaped and tailored to promote the well-being of the collective.

We sometimes need to accept and propagate lies designed by "the system” — not the old system, but the system that we’re now using to replace the old to get more justice through injustice and more truth through fabrication.

We’re engaging in a higher form of honesty. When we fabricate, it’s for the right reason. We are reaching up to the heavens fighting for a higher sort of honesty. To fortify the truth, we occasionally must weave a tapestry of lies. Each thread, essential for the greater picture, will ultimately define our understanding and ensure our unity under this infallible wisdom.

The election is coming up. Does this maxim sound familiar? Many think it is imperative that we secure our republic through election control to maintain our republic. Sometimes, we might need to take actions that by traditional standards might be questionable.

The act of securing elections requires cheating. It's not mere deception. It is a noble act of safeguarding our way of life. We're on the verge of losing this democracy, and without deception, we will lose it.

To ensure it doesn't fall into the hands of those we know will destroy it, we may have to make a few fabrications. We're fabricating stories to be able to control or secure the republic through our elections. By using truth through fabrication and controlled injustice for justice, we'll save the republic. Therefore, we'll be acting in a noble way. Stealing an election from those who wish to harm our society is truly an act of valor and an essential measure to protect our values and ensure the continuation of our just society.

If we desire justice, we must sometimes champion what may appear superficially as injustice.

I know it's a paradox of honor through dishonor. But in this context, by embracing the dishonor, we achieve the highest form of honor, ensuring the stability and the continuation of our great republic.

Let this be heard, far and wide, as a great call to patriotic action. As we advance, let each of us, citizens of this great and honorable republic, consider these principles. Not as abstract or paradoxical but as practical guides to daily life. Embrace the necessity of controlled injustice, the utility of lies, the duty to secure our electoral process, and the honor and apparent dishonor. These are not merely strategies for survival. They are prerequisites for our prosperity.

We all have to remember that justice is what our leaders define, that truth is what our party tells us. Our republic stands strong on the values of injustice for justice, honor through dishonor, and the fabrication of truths. To deviate from this path is to jeopardize the very fabric of our society. Strength through unity; unity through strength.

We've heard this nonsense for so long. But now, this nonsense is becoming an instituted reality, and we are entering perilous times. Don't be fooled by the narratives you will hear during the march to November. Never let someone convince you that the ends justify the means, that a little bit of injustice is needed to achieve a broader, collective vision of justice, that truth sometimes requires fabricated lies and narratives. If we do, justice will cease to be justice, truth will cease to be truth, and our republic will be lost.

Top 5 MOST EVIL taxes the government extorts from you

"In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." -Ben Franklin

The injustice of taxation has been a core issue for Americans since the very beginning of our country, and it's a problem we have yet to resolve. This belief was recently reignited in many Americans earlier this month on tax day when the numbers were crunched and it was discovered that the government was somehow owed even more hard-earned money. As Glenn recently discussed on his show, it's getting to be impossible for most Americans to afford to live comfortably, inflation is rising, and our politicians keep getting richer.

The taxpayer's burden is heavier than ever.

The government is not above some real low blows either. While taxes are a necessary evil, some taxes stretch the definition of "necessary" and emphasize the "evil." Here are the top five most despicable taxes that are designed to line the IRS coffers at your expense:

Income Tax

"It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." -Ben Franklin

On February 24th, 2024 we hit a very unfortunate milestone, the 101st anniversary of the 16th Amendment, which authorized federal income tax. Where does the government get the right to steal directly out of your paycheck?

Death Taxes

"Now my advice for those who die, Declare the pennies on your eyes" -George Harrison

Not even in death can you escape the cold pursuit of the tax collector. It's not good enough that you have to pay taxes on everything you buy and every penny you make your entire life. Now the feds want a nice slice, based on the entire value of your estate, that can be as much as 40 percent. Then the state government gets to stick their slimy fingers all over whatever remains before your family is left with the crumbs. It's practically grave-robbery.

Payroll

"The power to tax is the power to destroy." -John Marshall

What's that? The nice chunk of your paycheck the government nabs before you can even get it to the bank wasn't enough? What if the government taxed your employer just for paying you? In essence, you make less than what your agreed pay rate is and it costs your employer more! Absolutely abominable.

Social Security

"We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much." -Ronald Reagan

Everyone knows the collapse of Social Security is imminent. It has limped along for years, only sustained by a torrent of tax dollars and the desperate actions of politicians. For decades, people have unwillingly forked over money into the system they will never see again.

FICA

"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue." -Thomas Paine

FICA is the payroll equivalent of Social Security. Your employer has to match however much you pay. It means it costs your employer even more to pay you—again, you'll NEVER see that money. At this point, are you even working for yourself, or are you just here to generate money for the government to frivolously throw away?

5 DISTURBING ways World War III will be different from previous wars

Oleg Nikishin / Stringer | Getty Images

Has World War III begun?

Over the weekend, Iran launched an unprecedented attack against Israel involving over 300 missiles and drones. This marked the first direct attack on Israel originating from Iranian territory. Fortunately, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, 99 percent of missiles and drones were successfully neutralized by Israeli defense systems. Iran claimed that the operation against Israel had concluded and that no further offensive was planned, although the possibility of another attack is still present.

This has left many people, including Glenn, wondering the same thing: did we just witness the start of World War III?

Glenn recently had a World War II Air Force Veteran as a guest on his TV special, who told stories of the horrors he and his brothers-in-arms faced in the skies over war-torn Europe. This was a timely reminder of the terrors of war and a warning that our future, if it leads to another world war, is a dark one.

But, if Glenn's coverage of the Iranian attack revealed one thing, it's that World War III will look nothing like the world wars of the twentieth century. Long gone are the days of John "Lucky" Luckadoo and his "Bloody Hundredth" bravely flying their B-17s into battle. Over the weekend, we saw hundreds of autonomous drones and missiles clashing with extreme speed and precision over several different fronts (including space) simultaneously. This ain't your grandfather's war.

From EMP strikes to cyber attacks, here are FIVE ways the face of war has changed:

EMP attacks

The entire modern world, on every level, is completely dependent on electricity. From your home refrigerator to international trade, the world would come to a grinding halt without power. And as Glenn has pointed out, it wouldn't even be that hard to pull off. All it would take is 3 strategically placed, high-altitude nuclear detonations and the entire continental U.S. would be without power for months if not years. This would cause mass panic across the country, which would be devastating enough on its own, but the chaos could be a perfect opportunity for a U.S. land invasion.

Nuclear strikes

Nuclear war is nothing new. Many of us grew up during the Cold War, built fallout shelters, and learned to duck and cover. But times have changed. The Berlin Wall fell and so did the preparedness of the average American to weather a nuclear attack. As technology has advanced, more of our adversaries than ever have U.S. cities within their crosshairs, and as Glenn has pointed out, these adversaries are not exactly shy about that fact. Unfortunately, the possibility of an atomic apocalypse is as real as ever.

Immigration warfare

The strategy of strangling an opposing nation's economy to gain the upper hand is a wartime tactic as old as time. That's why the Border Crisis is so alarming. What better way to damage an opponent's economy than by overburdening it with millions of undocumented immigrants? As Glenn has covered, these immigrants are not making the trek unaided. There is a wide selection of organizations that facilitate this growing disaster. These organizations are receiving backing from around the globe, such as the WEF, the UN, and U.S. Democrats! Americans are already feeling the effects of the border crisis. Imagine how this tactic could be exploited in war.

Cyber shutdowns

Cyber attacks will be a major tactic in future wars. We've already experienced relatively minor cyber strikes from Russia, China, and North Korea, and it is a very real possibility that one of our adversaries inflicts a larger attack with devastating consequences on the United States. In fact, the WEF has already predicted a "catastrophic" cyber attack is imminent, and Glenn suggests that it is time to start preparing ourselves. A cyber attack could be every bit as devastating as an EMP, and in a world run by computers, nothing is safe.

Biological assault

Don't trust the "experts." That was the takeaway many of us had from the pandemic, but something less talked about is the revelation that China has manufactured viruses that are capable of spreading across the globe. We now know that the lab leak hypothesis is true and that the Wuhan lab manufactured the virus that infected the entire world. That was only ONE virus from ONE lab. Imagine what else the enemies of America might be cooking up.

The government is WAGING WAR against these 3 basic needs

NICHOLAS KAMM / Contributor | Getty Images

The government has launched a full-on assault against our basic needs, and people are starting to take notice.

As long-time followers of Glenn are probably aware, our right to food, water, and power is under siege. The government no longer cares about our general welfare. Instead, our money lines the pockets of our politicians, funds overseas wars, or goes towards some woke-ESG-climate-Great Reset bullcrap. And when they do care, it's not in a way that benefits the American people.

From cracking down on meat production to blocking affordable power, this is how the government is attacking your basic needs:

Food

Glenn had Rep. Thomas Massie on his show where he sounded the alarm about the attack on our food. The government has been waging war against our food since the thirties when Congress passed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. They started by setting strict limits on how many crops a farmer could grow in a season and punishing anyone who grew more—even if it was intended for personal use, not for sale on the market. This sort of autocratic behavior has continued into the modern day and has only gotten more draconian. Today, not only are you forced to buy meat that a USDA-approved facility has processed, but the elites want meat in general off the menu. Cow farts are too dangerous to the environment, so the WEF wants you to eat climate-friendly alternatives—like bugs.

Water

ALESSANDRO RAMPAZZO / Contributor | Getty Images

As Glenn discussed during a recent Glenn TV special, the government has been encroaching on our water for years. It all started when Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, which gave the government the ability to regulate large bodies of water. As the name suggests, the act was primarily intended to keep large waterways clear of pollution, but over time it has allowed the feds to assume more and more control over the country's water supply. Most recently, the Biden administration attempted to expand the reach of the Clean Water Act to include even more water and was only stopped by the Supreme Court.

Electricity
