Best of the Program | Guests: 'Uju' Ekeocha, Tim Ballard & Steve Deace | 2/7/19

Hello and welcome to the Thursday podcast.

It's going to be a great podcast today.

We have a woman,

she is a scientist who's going to tell us about the population control that the Gates Foundation is trying to do in Africa.

And the great thing is, is I can't pronounce her name.

It's...

I don't think Stu can even pronounce her name.

There's a stunning development in this interview where you came pretty freaking close.

I think maybe

actually pronounced her name.

She said I nailed it.

That was amazing.

She said I nailed it.

But then got every other fact wrong.

so you don't want to miss that uh uh also a little on nancy pelosi we had steve dace come in talk about the new movie um unplanned which is something that he says is going to be devastating to planned parenthood and i think he might be right we noticed something a little odd from the new papa john's ad campaign but what do you think about something a little strange that i don't know that anyone else has noticed yet but if you like if you like to eat local you know if you if you want to get it direct from the source Papa papa John's is there, and we discuss that all on today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

Patriot Mobile is

a phone service

that will give you all of the great coverage that you want.

They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.

Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.

But most of these cell companies,

they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.

It's true.

Why do that?

You can go with Patriot Mobile.

They were created to solve that problem.

They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.

So here's Nancy Pelosi.

After being asked by the Daily Caller, what did you think about the president's statements about abortion, late-term abortion?

What do you think about the president calling on a ban on late-term abortions?

It's really quite a sad thing when you know that what we're talking about is something that applies to the health and life health and ability to have other children of women.

I

hope that in his family he never has to face that crisis and

apply his attitude toward it.

Is there a bigger lie than that?

You know what a sad thing is?

A sad thing is

that our

elected officials are deliberately misleading people.

We have to face up to the truth here.

Beyond spin, this is the time when I've said you have to have credibility because at some point people aren't going to know what to do and who to trust.

And you have to have credibility.

If you still have credibility,

now is the time for you to stand up and say, look, I just, I want you to read the bill.

I want you to listen to what she just said.

I want you to read the bill.

And

I want you to also listen to Ben Sasse when he stood up and he asked senators

to just take a stand on afterbirth abortion.

And the Democrats wouldn't take a stand.

What's sad, Nancy?

Is dilation and extraction, the method that is used for surgical abortion, used for abortions after 21 weeks?

An abortion of any kind is hideous,

but many of the methods used for late-term abortion, it's just torture and murder.

That's quite a charge to make.

But I want you to just think, and I'm sorry to do this to you, but I just want you to think just for a second so you can share this with your friends in a compassionate way.

Would you ever hold a baby down, a newborn baby, and rip its legs and arms off?

We would all say, of course not.

It's horrible to even think of that.

What they're asking you,

what Nancy Pelosi is saying, is that it is okay

to, as the woman goes into labor,

to kill the child.

Why won't we do it?

Why are we so horrified by doing it outside of the womb?

But five minutes before the baby is born, we'll do horrible things.

Pelosi has her reasons for saying this, and they might not entirely be rooted in compassion for women and women's rights.

For one, the guest she invited to the State of the Union was Liana Wen, the president of Planned Parenthood, who boldly took to Twitter to say this, as an immigrant, a mother, a doctor, and the president of Planned Parenthood, I am honored to attend the State of the Union as the guest of Speaker Pelosi, who throughout her illustrious career has been a staunch champion for women's rights, immigrant rights, voting rights, and universal access to health care.

The best response to all of this, perhaps the one that has had the most sway, is this one.

Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth.

These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and their dreams with the world.

And then we had the case of the governor of Virginia.

where he stated he would execute a baby after birth.

To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's womb.

How do you say no to that?

How do you not applaud

what he said?

you may have disagreed with everything he said, except for this.

I am asking Congress to pass legislation

to ban

killing the baby after birth.

How is that not universally heralded?

Don't let the Trump derangement syndrome stop you from seeing the truth.

Your friends who are who are so

deranged,

they've lost their handle.

Many of them are the same ones who said we were racist for bringing up socialism.

That we said socialism

is what President Obama is pushing.

He is a socialist, and that's that's not a welfare system.

That is a complete repudiation

of

the free market.

All of it.

Not just drugs, but all of it.

And they said that was racist.

They are still saying, Ocasio-Cortez said that this was

name-calling.

No, it's not name-calling.

It's not.

It is a political philosophy and a political philosophy that has been heralded by some for a very long time.

I'm not name-calling by saying you're a you're a socialist.

I mean, unless you're name-calling when you say, oh, well, you're a conservative or a Republican.

I know it's name-calling when you say that.

I know it is.

But it's not name-calling when I say you're a Democrat.

And it's not name-calling when I say you are a socialist.

Ocasio-Cortez, you're a socialist.

You know it.

I know it.

You admit to it.

You're a socialist.

You say the free market system isn't going to be with us forever.

Well, I hope you're wrong.

But it's not name-calling.

There's a cliff.

There's a cliff.

I've tried to prepare my family, and I've tried to prepare you

and myself

for this cliff.

And I...

I didn't know what it would look like.

And I wondered if I would ever see it.

But I warned you it would come.

And I...

It was made real to me when I was in Poland and I met with a woman who I've told you a million times, saved Jews, one of the righteous among the nations, who, when I said, I know the tree of righteousness lives in all of us, in all of us.

How do I water the tree?

And she shook her head and looked at me in disbelief and said, you misunderstand.

The righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.

They just refused to go over the cliff with everyone else.

We are at that cliff,

and your friends are going over that cliff because they are

so

they're being lied to.

What Nancy Pelosi said.

Listen,

listen to what she said.

It's a different argument.

We are talking about

a law being passed that you cannot kill a child

after

birth.

Now, I would include,

but that's not what the president was saying,

I would include right before birth, because there is no medical reason ever for a woman to have a baby killed inside of her

as she's dilated, as she's giving birth.

There's no reason to kill that child, only to have her give birth vaginally three days later.

How does that make any sense?

But that's not what the president is talking about.

He's talking about banning people from neglecting a child after birth to kill it.

Listen to the argument again that she was making.

What do you think about the president calling on a ban on late-term abortions?

It's really quite a sad thing when you know that what we're talking about is something that applies to the health and life health and ability to have other children of women.

I

hope that in his family he never has to face that crisis and

apply his attitude towards it.

Now, to give her the benefit of the doubt, because the reporter said late-term abortions,

we could get into the stack, the stats.

The vast majority of those women that have late-term abortions,

it has nothing to do with health.

You'll see in the stats that were taken after people had late-term abortions, what was the reason given to the doctor?

The number one reason is, I didn't know I was pregnant.

Number two is

I didn't know where to get an abortion or I couldn't decide whether or not to have an abortion.

And now

here I am delivering the baby and I want to kill it.

Those are the reasons.

Those are the reasons.

We're at a cliff

and we have to talk with peace and love and compassion,

without the pointing of the fingers, without all of the things that I did to you during the election of Donald Trump.

We have to learn from my mistake

and listen with compassion

and try

to

talk reason

because this one is the cliff

that kills our society.

This is why you're so valuable as a host.

You make so many learn mistakes that are

people can learn from.

It's almost like I, no human being could make as many mistakes as I have.

That's what I'm saying.

Right?

Yeah.

It's all intentional.

Okay.

It's all intentional.

I'm just trying to demonstrate what not to do.

Can we go into the fact check on this point about abortion from a State of the Union that the New York Times did?

Oh, my gosh.

Fact-checking is dead.

Oh,

I think that was an embarrassment on this during the State of the Union.

Yeah.

By the way, did you see the former editor of the New York Times put a book out?

And

it looks like a lot of plagiarism was happening there.

Oh, really?

Yes, but Oliver Darcy said, the way he explained it was, there are many words that appear in other places.

Well, yes, that is one way of putting it.

Another way is I lifted an entire paragraph

without any kind of attribution and put it in my book.

And when you see the many words, it's paragraph after paragraph after paragraph.

The plagiarism wasn't in the Times, it was in the book by the Times Editor.

Is this the same one that is it where she was saying there were lots of problems at the Times?

Yeah, and she was talking about truth.

Yeah, how to find truth.

And now she's saying, I didn't plagiarize.

Can you explain this magic jumble of words that just happened to appear here, here, and here?

And they're all from different magazines.

Hmm, it's weird.

The best of the Glenbeck program.

I want to welcome to the program

Obi-Anuchu

Kocha.

Doctor.

How is that?

Was that even close?

Obi-Anujua Kocha.

You actually did it.

Wow.

Thank you.

Nice work.

Is there a shorter version of your name I may refer to you?

Everyone calls me Uju, which is the last three letters of my first name.

And I need to correct something.

I'm a Nigerian.

I'm a biomedical scientist, not a doctor.

I'm a biomedical scientist in hematology and blood banking.

And I live in the UK and I work out of the UK.

So I do work in Africa, but I live in the UK most of the year.

So I got your name right, but everything else is wrong.

That's a new one.

That's a new one.

It's a pleasure to be here.

It's my pleasure.

So, Uju, could you

tell us what you have found going on in Africa and Nigeria?

Right.

Not just Nigeria, really.

It is Africa.

You were right the first time.

So, a couple of years ago,

I was just minding my business here in the UK.

Not a problem.

Still, of course, very much going back to Africa for various things for my family.

A lot of my family is still out in Nigeria.

And I realized that the Gates Foundation was doing this massive, massive, massive contraception program.

But it was beyond contraception.

This was more like population control.

Melinda Gates was raising at the time five billion dollars and anybody can check this.

This was her project from 2012.

She did a massive family planning summit here in London.

And she was with David Cameron at the time.

And they were moving towards African nations.

She said it was the 69 poorest countries in the world, but 69 poorest countries in the world includes almost all of the

54 countries of Africa.

So this really

found quite disconcerting and looked into it a bit and found this woman was trying to rebrand the entire agenda of population control.

She was making it nicer, she was making it more sleek, and it was really terrible thing what she was doing.

So

I started investigating.

I wrote this thing that then became known as the open letter to Melinda Gates.

So it was the African woman's open letter to Melinda Gates, where I was begging her not to use the five billion for this project.

I said, if you want to help African women, education, security, food, and water, there were so many things she could have used it for if she really wanted to help us.

And so, for all these years, I mean, in the last couple of years, of course, I've been going to the United Nations every year and I see a bigger picture.

It's happening.

Yes, the UN headquarters from New York, you see a massive agenda to come into Africa and really recolonize the African people with regards to some of these issues, you know, not just population control, but also abortion.

So,

first of all, you know, handing out condoms

in the Catholic world, that is almost old world Catholic, not American Catholic, that is still kind of

a taboo to hand out any kind of contraception.

But this goes beyond contraception, and they are encouraging women to have

abortions because their children would be better off dead than living in Africa in poverty.

Is that the case?

Yeah, most of the African countries have refused to legalize abortion.

And the Africans are fine with it.

We do not have an abortion movement, you know, an organic abortion movement in any of the African countries.

But what we find is a very sleek campaign pressurizing or putting the African countries and African governments under pressure to legalize abortion.

And what you find, Glenn, is that in most of the African capitals now you have International Planned Parenthood Federation right there.

They say they're doing family planning, but it's beyond that.

We see them putting a lot of your tax dollars.

When they get your tax dollars, they use it in Africa to buy politicians.

They use it to infiltrate African African parliaments.

So up to today, only four African countries out of 54 have legalized abortion.

Most of the other African countries are still holding the line, but we find that more and more, we're even getting lawsuits being funded from DC.

You know, the Center for Reproductive Rights is running a huge, right now they have a big case against the Kenyan government.

How is it that an American organization can come to an African country and sue an entire African country for not legalizing abortion.

So it is a horrible battle we have on our hands and they have all the money.

We have nothing.

Now, let me play devil's advocate with you, Yuju.

Some would say that culturally speaking, there are places in the world where women are oppressed,

women who have children out of wedlock or they're in deep, deep poverty,

that their life is a living hell because it's a male-dominated society.

And the women would like to be able to have control of their body and control over birth.

How do you respond to that?

That is not true.

That is not true, Glenn, because the polls do not show that.

So a poll that was done a couple of years ago in Kenya, I looked closely at it because I didn't want to be moving with anecdotes.

What I've seen on the streets, you know, of African nations,

I have seen polls that have shown that African women are so strongly against abortion, you see, because we have even beyond religion, we have cultural beliefs on things like bloodlines.

African tribes and ethnic groups and African people, a lot of them believe in bloodlines.

And what we believe is that we are carrying the bloodlines from our ancestors on to generations coming.

What abortion does in that equation, Glenn, is that it breaks the African bloodlines and it breaks family bloodlines.

So for many, many African women, if you speak to them, especially when you go to Africa, not the ones who have been westernized, they will tell you that they believe that abortion is an abomination.

It's a direct attack on human life.

We, you know, we, African women, are more friendly, I'd say, to motherhood.

And yes, yes,

we want to have women rise out of poverty.

I am for the education of the African girl.

I want to see more African women going into med schools and nursing schools.

And, you know, I want them to to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with girls and women all over the world.

But abortion is not the way to do it.

And even the Africans themselves, in some countries, you have polls as high as 80% of population being against abortion under any circumstance.

So abortion is something that no African nation will take up unless a Western country is behind the move.

I believe Bill Gates, his father, was high up in Planned Parenthood in

his day.

And so he he kind of, Bill Gates himself grew up in an atmosphere that had, you know, a lot of respect for Margaret Sanger.

When you say population control,

that takes on a different kind of connotation.

One, birth control and family planning, but you're actually using the words population control,

which takes on a more nefarious kind of

sound, if you will, and almost conjures up the idea of sterilizing a population.

Absolutely.

That's exactly the point I'm trying to make.

So, nothing wrong in spacing children, and I believe that if an African woman is educated, she will decide, you know, she can read pharmaceutical inserts of drugs, and she can decide this is what I want, or this is what I don't want for myself.

But what we find, Glenn, is that these Western organizations like the Gates Foundation are coming into African countries and African African villages and African cities and towns and they are moving quantities of contraception through populations that do not know what the side effects are, do not understand what they are.

So we are finding that once they leave our villages, you're picking up women who are almost dying because of some sort of side effects that they never heard of, never expected.

Women are turning up sterile.

There is no, and they can't take recourse to any medical system or, you know, the healthcare facility is just not there.

So it's really beyond, this is not family planning this is population control because they are infiltrating getting to our governments gates foundation can walk into any african health ministry that scares me that scares me because they are uh dictating the agenda of the various african health ministries from country to country so uh they've they've really placed themselves in this position that is almost godlike in african countries and anyone who reads my book target africa will find the big picture even the clinton Foundation is also getting into that business of brokering with pharmaceutical industries, pharmaceutical companies coming from the West, making money off of the bodies of African women.

I believe that that is the real war being waged in Africa.

It's the war against the fertility of the African woman.

We have entered a time here in America, Uju, of,

I think, profound evil.

We are now in the State of the Union,

having

half of our Congress not willing to stand and applaud the effort to stop

the killing of a child moments after birth, not even abortion, killing after birth.

Half of our Congress wouldn't stand in support of that.

We're at a point of choosing, and it seems to always be the same kind of people, or actually the exact same people, that that are pushing these things all around the world

even though the population in America is not with them on this.

Yeah, can I say something that is very that is really related to your Congress particularly on the 3rd of January of this year when your new Congress

came into session and

I think Speaker Pelosi, I think that's her name, she then became the Speaker of the House.

She moved something called the H.R.

21 21 Appropriations Bill.

Now, I study these things very closely and I work very closely sometimes too, fortunately, with the present administration.

And the H.R.

21 Appropriations Bill has within it

a part of it that wants to resume funding to abortion organizations in Africa.

in Africa.

So the Mexico City policy was reinstated by President Donald Trump on his first day in office, I think back in 2017.

And then the very first thing that these new people did when they came

into office this year was to try to undermine the Mexico City policy, which directly is saving the lives of African babies and saving African women from being hurt.

That throughout the eight years of President Obama, unfortunately, even though the Africans loved him, the one thing my brothers and sisters in Africa didn't realize is that the Obama administration was spending millions and millions of dollars from the pockets of US taxpayers to kill f ch children and babies in Africa, to bring population control to African countries, to run ads, horrible ads that any American I think will be ashamed of.

But these things were being run in African countries.

But because we are so small, Glenn, nobody heard our voice.

Nobody gave us any audience.

We tried to get to the Obama administration.

They would not talk to us.

So now the first thing these people who were sitting yesterday during the

State of the Union

event was,

they were the people who, the same people who now want to resume funding for the killing of African babies, and I think it's very, very unfortunate.

As an African, I call them out on it.

I call the women,

the African American women in your Congress who are Democrats.

I call out the Democrat women.

And I'm saying, as an African woman, I find it objectionable, objectionable that they want to start moving millions of dollars into African nations to kill our children and to bring in a kind of feminism that it will be toxic to the African societies.

Uju,

it's a pleasure to talk to you and an honor to talk to you.

And thank you for taking on this fight and alerting America.

The name of the book is Target Africa, something that everyone should read, especially if you believe other cultures have a right to exist.

Gee, I thought that was something that the left was all about.

The culture in Africa is against abortions, and the left, led by the Gates Foundation,

is doing the exact opposite.

And we are killing children with our tax dollars in Africa.

Thank you so much, Uju.

I appreciate it, and we'll continue to follow.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, it's Glenn.

If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?

If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.

You can subscribe on iTunes.

Thanks.

Do you think that, Stu,

the left is overplaying their hand at all?

I don't get an indication.

I keep thinking they do, but I'm not getting an indication that they're scaring the crap out of Democrats yet.

I don't think they are.

I think the left in general is split into kind of two categories with some overlap.

One being, hey, here's an opportunity for us to finally go for it.

You talked about this forever, taking the masks off and just admitting this is what they wanted the whole time.

We wanted socialism the whole time.

We couldn't admit it until now.

We used to say the era of big government is over from Bill Clinton.

That's not us us anymore.

We're now admitting it.

So I think that's part of it.

The other part of it is I think

many on the left see

far more importance in getting rid of Donald Trump over whatever policy is there.

I think a lot of people could come out, like if they, if they, like, say, let's say Joe Biden runs and he runs as a moderate, right?

He tries to go down the moderate lane, which is probably not what he's going to do.

But if he does,

they would be okay with Biden being the nominee, even if he didn't support things like medicare for all if they thought he could beat trump i think that is like so far above and beyond any other goal they have right now it's gotten everybody's blind so the people who normally would be uncomfortable with an alexandria casio-cortez because there are democrats who are like wait a minute i mean we know them i mean they talk to us

they're just like i can't i don't want a socialist what's going on Those people are muted because they just can't stand Trump so much and their only goal is to get rid of him at this point.

Anything's better than this guy is essentially their mindset.

And that's true.

It's a very dangerous mindset.

Very, very dangerous.

Listen to Representative Omar.

Is this overplaying your hand?

Listen to Omar.

Not apologizing to the Covington kids.

Do you have any message for the Covington students after your tweet criticizing them for racism?

Any message for them tonight?

The message I have for them is that in life often there are consequences on the way that you behave.

I feel sorry for the way that some of them have gotten blame and hurt,

but I also recognize that

in the way that the video appeared, that there was a native elder who was

intervening and really showing care for what it looked like to mediate a difficult situation.

And I wanted to hold him

in space in my heart and to have a conversation about what hate division in this country looks like that is often perpetuated by the inhabitant of the world.

She seems to even admit there that it wasn't actually true.

Oh, yeah.

She says how it appeared.

No, and she won't apologize.

Her original post said the boys were taunting black men and yelling racist chants.

She said that in person, she said that online.

We know that's not true.

We know that's not true.

He was asking, Do you have anything to say about the Covington kids?

And, you know, here's a chance to retract that.

Nope.

For her, there are consequences to her actions: anti-Semitism, you know, all these incorrect statements.

The consequence was being elected to Congress.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Last guest was joining us from London.

We now jump across the water and down a bit to Iraq,

where

Tim Ballard is joining us.

Tim,

welcome to the program.

I want to talk a little bit about what you sent to me this morning, but first, let's do this in chronological order.

Your meeting with the president,

was it Friday or Monday?

It was Friday, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was Friday.

I think my days are all twisted and turned right now.

But yeah, it was Friday.

I'm pretty sure it was Friday.

Yeah, you were probably gone by the time he hit the State of the Union, but he

was in the air, yeah.

Yeah, he made

quite a statement about

sex trafficking and trafficking kids over borders.

I think you made a great impact on the president on that.

And it's

a great argument for a wall because it's happening all over the country.

I'm sorry, all over the world where borders are getting weak and people are trafficking

in children.

And

you had a great op-ed on it.

What did the president say when you met him?

He asked me, he says, tell me from your experience how a wall would help save children on the border.

And it's an argument, frankly, that I I was surprised hadn't been made earlier.

You know, it it absolutely does.

I mean, you know, the the critics are saying you don't need the you don't need walls because everyone's being arrested at the ports of entry.

And I just want to pull my hair out.

Ports of entry don't work without walls.

The walls are the things that push the traffic into the ports of entry.

And so the places where we have walls, that's where we rescue children.

But the places where we don't have them, you know, one little girl, I think you might might have met this girl at one point.

I can't remember.

I can't say her name, but we call her Liliana in the op-ed.

But this little girl, she's in tears right now.

She's saying, you know, it's bad enough that I was trafficked and raped 30 to 50 times a day in your country after being kidnapped in Mexico.

And now she feels like half the country's turning on her, denying that this could have happened because this little girl, She's about to go on federal trial.

That's why she can't.

She's working with the U.S.

Attorney's Office, and we're taking care of her and preparing her and so forth.

She was taken to a part of the border where there was no wall, and that was her life of sex slavery for for five years from the age of 11 years old until she was 15, 16 years old.

And she says to me, a wall would have saved me.

A wall would have pushed me into where the agents were in the ports of entry.

I would have screamed for them.

They would have rescued me, and she's in tears.

And now your country's betraying me, she says.

Is this the little girl that ran to the flag?

She saw the United States flag?

That's a different a whole different case.

My option, I go through so many cases

where the wall saved people.

It's just, it's, it's infuriating to me.

So I want to read to the audience, if I may, Tim, what you sent me this morning.

Glenn, I'm completely shocked by what I'm seeing.

We have been with armed guards and vehicles within 20 miles of ISIS.

ISIS is alive and well, terrorizing Christians very badly.

Been debriefing and recently rescued, been debriefing the recently rescued.

ISIS soldiers left the ISIS-occupied regions in Syria, came back, the same ISIS commandos, in civilian clothing.

They are now hiding in plain sight.

Now it's asymmetric warfare against the Christians, and they are still raping and enslaving Christians and Yazidis.

Our work is far from done.

People need to know.

Followed by five exclamation points.

Yes.

Yes, I just came.

I'm just in the most somber of, you know, emotionally.

We just, a couple hours ago, came from these people.

We beat, Nazarene Fund just pulled them out.

Nine families, Christian families, all their

father, the husband has been killed by ISIS.

They're in tears, Glenn.

They're in tears.

I'm crying.

They're holding me and saying, please, this is an hour ago.

Please tell your Christian, our Christian brothers and sisters in America, please don't forget about us.

They think we're forgetting.

And we are.

I think we are.

They are still there.

They just say, take us to Australia, get us, because that's where we're taking most of these people.

Glenn, I met this little girl.

This is actually a very heartwarming story that I'm so excited to tell.

Another little girl, she was kidnapped at 13 for three years.

This is the horrific part.

She was raped by several

ISIS soldiers.

Her mom gave up.

They had a report that she was dead last year.

Mom got moved by Naturine Fund to safety into Australia.

And then we got to make the phone call about six, seven months ago.

We found your baby.

We found her daughter.

We found her.

We liberated her.

I met with her today.

She's in safety now in a place in northern Iraq.

And it'll be months now until we can get her to Australia.

She wants you to go and deliver her personally to her mother in Australia.

So it's

very

emotional, just crazy.

So, Tim, Australia,

it has to be almost a little town now with just the people who have moved from Syria and Iraq that are Christians, that the Nazarene Fund has moved into Australia because Australia has been one of our best partners.

And have you been to Australia yet to see the towns that they're living in?

That's my next stop.

I'm going from here to see them.

Thousands, Nazarene fund has moved out there and what's happening I've I didn't I'm learning here on the ground the Christians are being forgotten Australia is one of the few that are taking the Christians other countries are taking you know other

other victims the United States has taken 70,000 different refugees But they're not taking the Christians from northern Iraq.

They're not taking the Christians from Syria.

That's something I'm hoping to work to change in Washington but

thank the Lord that we have Australia that is open arms.

And just I'm so grateful for this country that is taking thousands in.

I'm going to be there in a couple of days to thank them personally and check in on, you're right, on the villages that are being created by these amazing, awesome, hardworking, faithful, God-fearing, Christ-loving people

who are in Australia living their lives in freedom.

Tim,

there is one other place that you're operating now, and I don't want to talk about it because of some upcoming upcoming operations.

But

I do want to talk to you when you have a chance offline

because

I'd like to make a trip there.

And then also,

I do want to go to Iraq.

It would be an honor to escort her to her mother

in Australia.

And I think people need to see the things that Australia has done the Christians who are still under persecution.

This is a scary thing:

yes, ISIS has been defeated, but those guys put

civilian clothes on, and they just went back in, and they're just waiting for us now to leave.

Yes, I

oh, Glenn,

the horror in their eyes.

I met a little boy today, 12, 13 years old.

He literally has his back looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame.

His mom's explaining explaining the condition that he literally was in such fear for his life.

He hunched in the corner for week after week.

They couldn't move him when they were in captivity.

And literally his body seized up and he's in a state of almost semi-paralysis just because of the PTSD and fear.

And his eyes are shifting.

We're going to get him helped.

But the fear in their eyes, they've lost their fathers.

They've lost their siblings.

One family, we recovered one little girl, 13 years old.

She was passed around to like 15 different ISIS commandos, and two of her sisters, children, sisters, are still in captivity.

It's just talking to these people, it's just, and they're crying for

their Christian brothers and sisters in America, and that's fast.

We've got to respond.

There's so much more we have to do.

Tim, thank you so much.

Pictures and videos I'm going to send you too, by the way, please do.

May I share?

Just tell me which ones I can share.

Okay, I'll send them to you.

We'll black out some faces, but yeah, there's some amazing stuff.

Thank you so much.

Tim Ballard, chairman of the Nazarene Fund and

Operation Underground Railroad.

You can get involved by just going to mercury1.org

and

it will link you to that.

Or you can go to the nazarenefund.org, nazarenefund.org, or

ourrescue.org as well and help us

do the job that no one else is willing to do for some reason and help us spread the light.

Darkness is seemingly

unending, but darkness cannot.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

One of the heavy hundred in Talkers magazine, which

shockingly is not a, is not a fat joke because I'm on the the heavy hundred, too.

You're on it every year.

I'm on it every year.

Are you sure it's not a fat joke?

I'm pretty.

Well, no, I'm actually not.

Maybe not.

Maybe I'm fooling myself.

Steve Dace has his daily radio show

and

a podcast on television as well here on the Blaze every day following this.

He is

one of the real good guys in this business.

He is a deep thinker, a deep Christian, and a guy who holds on to his values no matter what.

He is also the author of a new book called Truth Bombs, but he has traveled across the country to come to beautiful Dallas in the middle of the week to show me a movie.

For once, I'm not promoting, I'm not doing self-promotion when I go somewhere.

But there's a team of filmmakers at Believe Entertainment, and they're huge fans of your show.

And they actually ended up buying the film rights to my last book, A Nefarious Block, because they heard you talking about it on the air, and that's what introduced them to the book.

So, are we going to kick back for that?

Well, let's talk afterwards.

10%, just as your agent.

And they were mulling over what their next film project was going to be, and they chose to put this one as a priority over the film adaptation of my book, not knowing that, you know, it takes two years to make a movie like this, not knowing we would be sitting here with the governor of New York saying the things that he said, the governor of Virginia saying the things that he has said.

And the movie is unplanned.

And I'm sure there's tons of people in your audience that know the story of Abby Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood manager.

She's remarkable.

Who turned whistleblower.

And this is a movie that is based on her book and her experiences.

And you can find the trailer on Facebook.

I've posted it up on my Facebook wall as well.

I think, though, the trailer doesn't do the film justice.

The trailer, I think, only hints at what is in the film.

What's going to set this film apart from other pro-life movies you've ever seen is it's going to take you inside an abortion clinic

when you're going to

You're going to see abortions happen.

It is not gratuitous.

The film work, the way that they do it, you are fully aware of what is occurring in a way that it confronts you with the reality of these situations.

So, I mean, this isn't Pimple Popper on, you know, reality TV meets,

you know, meets the pro-life movement.

There's nothing gratuitous or anything happening here.

So

are these reenactments?

The reenactments of actual cases that Abby witnessed when she was there.

And when they brought this film to Iowa for me to see it about a week and a half ago, and

the first five minutes, I was sitting there thinking, oh no, I'm going to have to tell the truth.

And we're already off to a bad start.

Because it has some of the, you know, it has some of the schmalty, cheesy Christian movie thing that when I came in here a little while ago, you looked at me and rolled your eyes because you know what I'm talking about.

I know.

I didn't know you were coming in for this.

I knew I had a movie to see tonight.

And I was just talking to my daughter, and I said, I don't want to go see this movie because

I know I don't want to not like it.

I don't want to not like it.

And I don't want to have to look a filmmaker who has tried so hard right in the eye and say, dude, man, stop with the Christian preachy kind of stuff.

I know.

I know.

It then takes a very dark turn about five minutes into this.

You're thinking, this is another, you know, Christian movie, and where's the cheesy conversion scene, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then, and then Abby Johnson arrives at work.

on the day that changed her life when they made her go inside the operating room when they were short of nurses and actually forced her to confront for real, not the aftermath of what is happening.

She had seen a lot of young women that were bleeding, that were in serious medical conditions, and treated them afterwards.

Now she's got to witness firsthand what was really going on in there.

She has to assist.

She has to assist, and you assist with her.

And I'm no shrinking violet.

The film

made me swallow hard, took my breath away.

Where the film needs to be great,

it's great where it needs to be.

And that's what I told them after I saw the movie.

Meaning, people are going to be forced to see what goes on inside Planned Parenthood in ways they never, ever have before.

Do you think

who's going to watch this film?

Do you think it will

strengthen the people who are on the border

and

bring them on board?

Or do you think it has a chance of bringing people

who are pro-choice

and

not strongly?

I mean, not, you know, not giving to Planned Parenthood, but think they're strongly on pro-choice.

Do you think they will go and see this?

I thought when I first saw the film that

the target audience, you know, Stu, you and I were talking about your wife before we came on.

And I thought the target audience is it would take people like your wife, like my wife, like me,

and that's a lot of our audiences, And it would confirm them that now, once and for all, we need to end this, which is a pretty big audience.

I mean, we had 100,000 people at the March for Life a few weeks ago.

But I think the audience, this has expanded now.

Now that we're talking about live birth killings,

I think, I mean, look,

my wife, my daughters are talking about it.

Everybody I know is talking about it right now.

There is a fight for life, and it's beyond politics.

It's not being stirred up this time.

I should say this.

It's not being stirred up.

You remember when we were with

Orrin Hatch

and we were talking about the Tea Party and we said, are people really going to come out in the Tea Party?

And he was asking us about stuff.

And

he said, you know, all I have to do is I'll just propose a flag-burning amendment.

And that always gets people in the streets.

And we were horrified.

That he told you the truth.

That he told us the truth.

Don't tell us the truth.

We don't want to know that.

Yeah, that was just horrifying.

And we all looked at each other as he was talking.

We're like, oh, my gosh, this guy is part of the problem.

And we knew that.

He just didn't know we knew that.

But it was so horrifying.

This is not that.

This is not that.

This is not a

political football.

It wasn't at least started by the right.

You know what I mean?

It was this crazy crazy group of people that actually believe,

yeah, we can just let a child, you know, we'll birth the child, but if we try to kill it, you know, we'll keep it comfortable until we decide how we're going to kill it.

I mean, it's so far beyond what even Democrats think that the people who are pro-life but have never been involved, I think they are, I think they're just beginning to wake up and go, you know what, this has got to stop.

Well, it's because, and you see Abby's evolution in this film you see her fall for all of the talking points and they're and they're and they're not and they're presented objectively in the way a planned parent would present them they're not presented ham-fistedly you can see why a young woman in her situation who's had unwanted pregnancies you can see why she would go down this road and it's and and it sounds right and it sounds reasonable and it's the same thing with my mom when she finds out she's pregnant with me at 14.

You know, and it seems reasonable when Roe versus Wade happens literally a month later, it seems reasonable for her not to want to be a mom at 15 until she has to hear the heartbeat of her own child and then she has to confront, can I really do this?

Is this really the tonsillectomy that they're selling me that this is?

And that's what this movie forces you to confront more than any other pro-life film I've ever seen.

And it does so pretty brutally.

And I think they're, and maybe this is something we'll talk when they get down here tonight, is, you know, I would encourage them, and I've even told them behind the scenes,

when you're done doing the NRBs and the Christian-y crowd and there's a certain amount of safe that you have to you know and I've run into this all the time in my line of work there's a certain amount of safe you have to portray to get these people on board we don't want any controversy we don't want anything like that when you after you make all those rounds you get those people on board I think you should cut another trailer right before the movie comes out at the end of March and drop a bomb and let people know what is really coming in over 800 theaters on March 29th because this is not this is not a feel-good story you are going to to be confronted with the truth of what is really going on in every one of your Planned Parenthoods all over America.

I don't know if you've sold me on going to that movie.

I think that that message sells a lot of people going, I don't want to see it.

I don't want to see it.

Yeah, you mentioned my wife, and my wife has been pro-life as long as I've ever known her, very pro-life.

We have two small kids.

But this New York story has, I've seen a different side of her come out as far as the emotion and the passion about it.

To the point to where she's risking her career.

Yeah, in many ways.

And so

when I heard that this preview was coming, I mentioned it to her.

One of her friends had seen it somehow as well and saw what you were talking about.

And she, as someone who's super pro-life and someone who's really passionate about this issue recently in particular, I thought she was going to be all in on seeing it.

She was scared away by seeing the actual brutality of it.

And that's a tough thing for people to get over.

I think when you're on the pro-life side, right, like you can kind of make the understanding, okay, I'm already on the right side of this.

I don't necessarily have to see it.

For someone who, like Abby, I mean, this was Abby.

She was on the pro-choice side.

And this really moved her.

It's the same thing, you know, that people, I'm a vegetarian, which is the nation's only conservative vegetarian.

But like, pray for you.

Thank you.

But that's what they try to do, right?

Like, they try to show, okay, here's a slaughterhouse.

Here's the real brutality of what's going on.

And that is effective for people, especially when

they haven't really faced it.

And if we can just get some people on the left or the pro-choice side,

not the Tulsi Gabbards of the world, but someone who's right there, Democrat.

Who's just like, you know, I think, I don't like this, but women should have the right to choose.

That person can be really effective.

I agree with this.

I totally agree with that.

And

I think, you know, there's one of the greatest pro-life speakers I've ever heard is from here in Texas, actually,

pastored a church for, I might even still pastor it over in Houston.

Dr.

Lawrence White is his name.

And he used to drop this line in his pro-life speeches that just it was a neutron bomb.

And that is the killing will continue until the church says make it stop.

And there's a lot of ministries around the country, they do their one pro-life sanctity of life Sunday, and then they just move on for the other 51 weeks out of the year and the killing continues.

And

this is a movie that is designed to close that sale.

Are you willing,

do you really understand what you're for?

Do you really understand what you're against?

And once you understand it, are you willing to do what it will take to make it end?

So it is,

you know, I said we were on vacation to my family, and we started our vacation at Auschwitz.

And

my wife said, honey, stop calling it a vacation.

Nothing, nothing resembling a vacation begins in Auschwitz.

But I did it because

I wanted my family to see the truth, stare it in the face, and say, who are we?

Who are we?

And if this movie can do that, it's what the abolitionists in America and in England tried to figure out.

How do we get people to actually look at slavery?

If you can get people to actually look at it and decide,

it will change the world.

I'm glad you're here.

to see you.
