We've got a big one for you. Normally this time of year, everything just sort of screeches to a halt to the season, but no no either even oregon on capitol hill. Today, the vote happening in the house to one point: seven trillion dollar, porterfield omnibus package, we'll talk about that, the Kerry lake trial and yes, the sbs in jail now out of jail. The crypto comment more on all of it coming up this morning, just a bar call you in for backpack after this the

the adjusted barkley and for glenn back to the olympic program. You connect with me, adjust in barclay b, a r c l, a Y calm send me a message, their love to hear from you. I wish this kind of friday going into the christmas holiday. I think be good to take a few calls today and hear from you ve, particularly among these sad that the different topics, the one point- seven million dollar porch stuff. spill. But they have that they voted on in the senate to pass that goes to the house today. There are still working into the deadline, they'll get their past and shore and then and then the fund against, but here's another trip like seventy seven back, that's alienate seven to seven b e c. Carry if you want to join the programme. Love to hear from you will will chat. As things as move forward here and programme, not like this one,

kind of break down for you, so you can kind of understand what is in this and there's more weight A bit about this yesterday dream we ve been talking about it. Glens been talking about it. I know it's hard to understand! I just want to give you a picture that, when you think of a trillion dollars, because we get the numbers like this, We'll talk more about this later in the hour, but you get the numbers like this and you just kind of lose track of how much a trip in actually somebody called the other day and gave me the Can I say, look unites it's it's unimaginable its to think about, but a trillion dollars. If it we're going to count to a trillion like a trillion seconds started counting a trillion seconds from IRAN, as it were take thirty seven thousand years to get there a trillion. so that's how much money again

or just setting off on your mother, sure this will have any effect on inflation. Ah I'm sure it won't to it. You know it, though, of course not what the kid couldn't possibly have any impact on the cost of everything as we move forward. Yes, That's that's on the agenda will talk about that at any time if you saw but ass bf was arrested, he was brought into the country, and now s bf has been left he's been freed. Tourism bergmann freed has been freed and he is out and my guess that within big story about how much bail children, fifty million dollars. And lively so people started question. I was theirs. Much money. I did. I thought he lost at all where you gonna get that much money, while the truth behind that or ordeal, and what actually took place is something altogether different.

It turns out, it just gets to hang up, probably in his PJ's, very similarly to know it's a linsky there when he came in He came at the congress, taken up some money. Yeah. I know you'd give gets to hang on his pj's at his parents house, apparently until the theatrical takes place. So that's that's what we got to look for to day Two of the carry leg trial has wrapped up, the carry like trial down in arizona some, startling things had come out of it. She gave a statement yesterday have sounded the courthouse, quick statement I and so incredibly proud of our means, eternities and staff. That put this amazing case together historic case. We prove without a shadow of a doubt that there is malicious intent that cause corruption, so great a change there is Also, the election, I'm incredibly proud of o brien, blame her. Also let up this legal team. providing expert testimony. We provided experts

the other side broaden activists to try to save face. They admitted that they known about these ballot problem at the ballot problems now they're trying to save this been going on for three elections are in. Genes. Are a mess in this country in I'm so happy the stand up and say, longer? Will we, as americans, put up with this? we demand fair, honest, transparent elections and we will get them and I pray so hard for this judge. I think that he really look in all about information. I think he listened very closely to what happened in I'm fighting for the people of arizona, but not just for the people of arizona. I'm fighting for the people of this country and for us Future, if we don't have honest elections, were we decide who represents us? The widow have a country anymore, And you know the of the defendants there too he said in his closing, is closing statement

so, which is our rulers? Isn't that telling this was a selection, not an election and we in america choose who represents us and we will restore the selections- and I will never stop fighting- I will never stop fighting so think, she has carry leg and blue. I can imagine. Became imagine what you re rethinking about going to right now. There's a lot on the line down in arizona who knows how that debts the play out weightings all of the judge now waiting, but some of the headlines to now wrapped the trial wrapped altogether was a quick try to get it out trying to get it done please possible, but here's some other had my just think about this. What was actually happening down in arizona resign, while we kind of lose track assembly things because we would get wrapped up. the day to day, but it not be by accident. One of

Experts testifying about the key problem, forty two percent of ballots, the chaos in one of the things that I saw. The numbers are right here: they allowed carry weight, people the judge allowed, possesses is irrational law they allow them to take a look at the balance in my questions about these things. They allowed him to go in and take a look vigour. Fifteen team well inside a big sample size, but you know folks are saying: wait, I'm at fifteen. That's not enough!. but even in the fifteen they found- and this is something in the ones we looked at particular believest, maricopa county. like the one in question, but the ones they look that they found Fourteen of the fifteen, for team of the fifteen have issues now

What are the issues, namely, that this ballot, forty inch paper. but the image of the ballot projected onto the paper. That's what happens when you make a copy or something that stoop you put an image on a piece of paper, the matter If you're praying something at your house her or wherever this might be, but the the leaf The nineteen inch image projected on a twentieth piece of paper was the issue of vat. The problem, and apparently That's what caused all the issues in the printer and when they The ghost scanned the ballots through the system when the people would voted they had filled out their bubbles in early may, go scan it through there getting rejected This is in maricopa county day of voting. only up and day of didn't happen any other time. Happen anywhere else, maricopa county,

Thousands of people disenfranchised. Thousands of people sent. during that day,. whether or not sent home wondering whether or not that their vote is is even an account. Whether or not it even counted at all. They sound I'll. Just god, put everything. Put everything in this sum in this. dropbox, syria and all they call it dropped, but was a box three or whatever they call. It does put everything in the box here. You'll make everything will be fine, people walked out wondering what no world happen does. Does my vote that my vote even count. folks disenfranchised and in who knows the truth on that We learned some startling thanks in the trials. You just heard her mention This is an issue they ve known about. Now, here's a really

equally sticky. I would think legal issue for katy hobbs. That's that's been revealed here now. I dont know how much traction this'll get, Abe holiday, which is the the the attorney demand running for attorney general. He also got to go to trial, then for the results of that trial. but this ought to be looked at. Maybe even these sitting attorney general part of it I could look into this as well, because there is a there's, a sticky legal situation here. Let me tell you what it is we'll get into all of that coming up with just a mommy. You could join the Glenn Beck program at any time triple eight. Seventy seven beck b e see k. What what should happen now that we ve got the we ve from the experts we ve heard the testimony we found out that there were Problems what should happen. Do they need a new election? just insert her in I dunno. If there's, if there's that dunno what the legal process will be, I don't think that that would be part of it, but

What do you do now that you ve got all this information triple x? Seventy seven back be easy k back After this on the Glenn Beck program sparkly and for back to digest environment, the Glenn Beck program, yeah we're following the storm, the weather and all of the snowpocalypse we'll talk about that injured and at some point today, but I would die it's while because this global warming, its defence, complete opposite effect. We're slur on under a blizzard warning or broadcasting to live from investment can grand rapids heights. In in right now it's wide out outside my windows, completely one cent Degrees, I think, is the attempts even lower in some places to the south of us, which is wild. Ah, but this thing is causing some issues for a lot of folks travels will talk about that common appeared just little that put the boy thee,

a change. What is it now? Is it climate change that what is officially the global market be global warming anymore. They certainly isn't warm that warm here wagon data essentially this winter, we have this every year, hey back down the arizona. Forty two percent of ballots causing chaos of key issue. They said Amongst the hundred and thirteen examined forty eight of them had this problem, eighteen inch ballads produced on twenty edge paper. Vat, The problem now here's the big issues may be a legal issue for katy hobbs, who was the secretary of state Oversaw her own election to the governor in air, is it nothing to see here folks another should never be even in appearance of propriety in any of these elections in any of these situations.

should never even be an appearance of it, not that that appears. It's all. We have these days. I get questions aids and we get questions about some, your called crazy and the f b. I people conspiracy, theorists when you look at the the twitter files of things that are dumped out. What I did I do but this is what were We are seeing in every story. We come across these days. The katy hobbs might be problem. She might be a bit of a pickle here's. Why she certified this election, these they while well, what's once problem that she certified well. The issue is unjust, just that she certified her own election that she oversaw but she certified it- an apparent- What just came out in this trial No, this now. Is it she certified it. Knowing that this issue existed. and it was still under investigation miracle. But Kelly,

will investigate. In fact, I dont know that we were supposed to find that out. I don't know that anybody was supposed to know what exactly happened with these ballots in years. The other thing folks, you ve gotta, realise this and is carry like trial down in arizona, We would have never known you run around saying. Well, that's you know, that's odd, that all these people had there ballots rejected all these people. They went to go vote in it went through the scanner and it would pop out and they don't know other their vote. Can you somewhat that's a little? Yes. Certainly. That's illustrates utmost gonna, but you know your mother said it's just which is just a glitch. That's all that it is nothing nothing to see here that just a little glitter in mind this kind of shrugged off. Could have anyway, but is out.

The only reason we find not what caused that glitch, because this thing went to trial got inspect the ballads and they actually found out. what was happening behind the scenes now your question. In the same as mine, I understand the philistine. What so. can now. We know what happens next week Katy hobbs, knowingly certified and election. That too, that had issues. There legal recourse for that. What should happen Just in this case, but in all the cases when we look at. some of the year. Some of the problems that we continue to see in new york. What's gonna think its mark on the phone triple x, seventy seven b He came back from a framework. Has many phone calls us canada day? Just it'll could test Tis the season more

in new york mark how you good idea on good at so Election issues: what are you want to call it a fraud. What are you, what are you gonna call now? We know we know for a fact, at least the problems in arizona. What should happen here, I don't really know, but I know that I live in upstate new york, very small town, and we had this Same thing happening are very small town. It was mine it's time boating, I saw, was kind of just getting used to everything, but walking in I heard heard a couple of old timers time being like how many times sure thing try to go through when the guy said four times and all the more these guys even talking about. student line. I get that thing. It's clearly ashore, with a black box, a very strong black box, with a lock on it scanned draw on lady goes. I put your vote in. You know schedule She goes in spit it out dry in berlin, spit it out she was happy that I will count thereby hand later because behind it sk in a box and that without it

I mean this is not something I'm making up. This is literally smile. town rule upstate new york It was kind of like I wanted to ask this. Lady, like how do I know what you're doing with this vote like this machine here, clearly made to make sure my vote goes in those were it's supposed to be doing it's locked, solid and now you are made his hand it to you looked at. As you know, this interesting you bring this up cause you're, seeing it in in new york. So this very similar could happen all over. But let me ask you this morning I may just personally, for you did that they look like. Restore your confidence in this. system time. The did that do anything to make. You feel better that your vote was gonna, be counted. Democracy was alive and well with it. What do you do for you? They make. You feel

honestly because he was also my first time voting. I was ah yeah. I was kind of shocked. I mean if, if, if, if the box at the machine, I was putting it in wasn't so clearly made to be like unbreakable, you know what I mean to go through This machine, that's made to take this ballot and you know make sure nobody can tamper with it to handing it to a woman. I've never seen before to go behind. Both I mean it was like. I thought it was like I do, though, or something it was like. Someone was going to come to lay out his kidney function. He got a puncture on candid camera born new york. New york was extremely close for the first time. In how long I mean it is having to how many people, one of the largest in small towns, dotted around upstate new york. I mean I'm not boy you're fraud, conspiracy, guy, whatever you want to call it. When things are not write, things are not right light mark. I appreciate the phone call your absolutely right. We ve gotta get this back on track, because if you don't stop this, if they dont solve this issue was-

the point. I've heard so many people ask. What's the point: will I'll give you a little more cars we got it continued to, at the fight folks we can't give up, but at the same time we've got to solve these problems and we've got to solve them for good you're. Absolutely right. You know too many people have died too much blood has been spilled, to make sure that this process works safely securely and works with integrity speaking of integrity, Senate voted. I know it's hard, I shouldn't laughed but to set it voted a pass at one point: seven trillion our omnibus congo It gets it. The house gets it later today, we'll talk about that. What's inside of it and more all coming up in moments when the glendale club declined program?

the backyard for brackets justin barkley. Now, on the olympic program, you can connect with me any time you'd like adjusted, barclay b, a r c l, a y dot com front of stay in touch there and send me a message love to hear from you taking several calls today too, because you know it's the last day before christmas. I gonna make sure we begin with a bang, Tripoli. Seventy seven back be easy, kay janet eight. Seventy seven be easy k. We talk in the us now we're talking. They stop again. Snow part collapse. And it is kind of nasty in some places, just looking and hearing some of the temps around here and looking at some of the snow, not as bad as what we thought. We were going to get hero that they told us that we really get. but of course, keep an eye on that, for you today is causing travel issues all over and.

I know that it will not be causing travel issues for those in congress of voting today in the house. There are already there congressmen? Bill highs again for michigan joins us. Now, congressmen, you get the Senate just passed this one point: seven trillion dollar omnibus bill is chest of pork filled. I did. I just gonna look like Michael term out you're, just ass, we entered burgers giant mass interred burger, well. Apparently, it's also stuffed with lobster cause. There's money in here forever. Lobster groups in our campaign lobster- all I don't know yet salmon's and there like forty seven there what time is it

the three million dollars for a bee friendly, a highway system, I'm all about. Ah, you know that a pollination and we've had issues with bees, but how in the world, do you make a bee friendly highway system? I I just it's it's it's just this kind of stuff and there's earmarks chock full of earmarks. I'm and here's sorted add insult to injury right. The cell Institutionally, all these spending bills have to originate in the house we're not even pretending to do appropriations, processes anymore and more, sending these big beginnings of turd burgers over his orders. They are in their their spices and secret sauce and your marks and all the other good stuff, and then they dropped back in our lab, I wouldn't ability to amend it review at any anything, so the Senate laughed they're all gone.

those of us that our here not voting by proxy by the way it is almost half of the- u s house- is voting by proxy, so they're, not here, why don't believe it's legal? constitutional. So I am here. I have not I voted proxy once in this entire time that a plus he has been using their set as a tool really for control and here we are again this is this is the worst parts of how this system is is broken is being shown to the folks, I do I get ass, you counters mobilizing. You guys gonna vote what time is. It won't happen today good question rules. Committee is going to be going in at ten o clock at their supposedly doing. An expedited rule committee, and so each bill that comes to the floor has to have a wall. Can you amend it? Can you not amended time for them

all those things so we're gonna have our first boat, probably somewhere or at no earlier than ten. Thirty, probably more like a weapon and then there'll be either an hour or maybe two hours of debate, I'm on this or on this omnibus bill and then ah, some procedural votes that are going to be happening, so it'll probably be somewhere between noon and two o'clock today and then then I'm trying to get back to michigan, see my family so Today, ram pick up four wheel drive and now I'm DR an opt out. Flights are get gaps, a key and god bless cause they. It's gonna, be a fund, DR that's for sure, but you know I still think it probably a lot easier than dealing with what you have to deal with in this vote today. Here's here's some of the state sticks of what we're looking over over a hundred million dollars. After that, think yet passed on thus been on the ukraine war wants this whole thing goes through

I know we talk about whether or not you know we should be fighting this fight and how much money we should be spending and ended in our work He came over his pj's the other day and spoke to you guys in car, which is just crazy to me, it's on the floor of the house that the guy is in a sweatshirt. I mean I've, never seen anything like this ano. If you want to comment on that or not, but while we're not allowed to go under the house, foreign dress like that. The the the rules require us to be in a coat and tie and I visit there. There was actually a fair amount of us. You know not to get too petty, but it was like okay dude, you couldn't. You couldn't put a tie on yeah and I understand it's it's about the optics and he's wanting to look like he he's in the middle of a siege, but that's the problem. That's the problem that this is all optics in american people are seeing through this stuff spending. One hundred billion in ukraine It won't spend a penny to secure our borders. I mean this leaves the folks have had it on that

and that's in again going back to this omni. That's that's exactly right. You know where we are spending money, in the middle east, for border security were spending at around the world, but we want allow those resources to be used on our own southern border and at and we know that there is no other word there get. You can use other than absolute crisis and disaster with what happening and it's gonna get worse. If the court, you don't keep title forty in place I made, and we know that there is a number of of of crossings that had happened at the southern border, strangely enough. She BP, has now release the november numbers. Yet what twenty three days and three were ended december? They won't release the november numbers.

and it's not because they have them it's because their political and they don't want this to look worse than what it is and a and a if we have the border integrity right now. Who and what is coming across a border that that is a recipe for disaster, an endless and this administration standing by just encouraging just a broadly for glenn back to reign of limburg programme, are talking with congressmen. Bill hiding out of west Michigan and he'll be their voting on the floor today and Get your answer at your ear or no on this omnibus, I'm a hell now is that I want to make that clear. I thought that that's what they must be underlined exclamation mark now One of the things that I think a lot of us frustration is why didn't they just. With this slide so that when

republicans take over here, in january. We can, we can work it out and have a little more leverage to do some of the things that need to be done, particularly when it comes to the border etc. One of the things I know folks want to seize oversight, A lot of these issues. Hey these b I man and in what were hearing now, what's happening, which, whether in the statement, the f b I put out the other day about spirits. He fears that we have the emails their own people are saying this the congressman is this this that I dont know. How did we come back from this year, while what does a J edgar hoover type stuff right? I mean that this will have to be scratching your head if you re a regular american looking at this and just even sort of casually paying attention to what or to what is going on and you I still wonder how

how these governmental agencies have done so out of control and have really put our own kind The two rights and privileges are under attack and ah- and it's not acceptable. Now. You know one of that. One of the perverse elements of passing this omnibus this way by the way that should have been done only this this was this is continuing funding for this current fiscal year which started october first, so we should have had is all wrapped up in september, but nonetheless it here's what it here's what funding, always governmental agencies through the remainder of the fiscal year through September meat they don't have to to congress, for our oversight, requests right. The funding for the year I gotta be any pressure on that, so we have to figure out why we apply that pressure properly and constitutionally, as we are supposed to do to me

sure that we ve got those answers, and so whether it's the fbi or work, a lot of the work that I do is with securities and exchange commission and there as a gm at a agenda or that environmental, social and governance are a garden that they are trying to force a not only under publicly trading companies but to privately help companies as well and what what things that mean for our economy moving forward, So there's there's a lot of very, very serious issues that we have to tackle that do the power the purse is one of the main tools that that congress has. We have advocated and given that up for decades, frankly now and it's just gotten worse and we ve got to restore that carter civilising. Let me ask you before you go We are also going to be overseeing some of this visit. This sb of f t x thing bagman freed- has been freed bags basically just turn fifty million that labelling at this guy back in the u s, but that look but

not really your story. The truth is he's. Gonna go hang out at his mama dad's, four million dollar home and they put some of the equity of that thing up. That's how I go either didn't notice turn. Fifty million dollars disguised when we hang out this flow clubs probably got his zalewski sweatshirt honour. I dont know what easily he's gonna be in his pj's in I'll just having a good time This is it. This is wild it is, and you know what this is- the idea that the worst parts of Enron's business practice is along with burning made off. This is just outright flawed and the notion that that these these were like kids had any business running these multi billion dollar and multi national companies is get your ass quickly ass further out, yet before you spend website, jagger breathing,

it pushes I get what you deserve programming you just, don't want to use it for billion dollar companies yeah exactly and multinational. Ah, you know, ah international trade going on, and ah you know it, at the end of the day, the Institutional investors who are supposedly are very savvy. Investors gotta got sucked into this they found a politically progressive, very smart entrepreneur who is going to quoting quote. We imagined capitalism and and all while making them gobs of money. They also sent half of it back to the maxine waters and the rest of them. I mean they all took the money too. Didn't they the aircraft that was that was. That was a huge part of. It is ah that his growing influence that was here in Washington show whether they were on wall street or whether they were in silicon valley or whether they were here in washington, D c. Ah, people were just fun

you have all kinds of stuff that you guys went through, but you persevered aeneas we're gonna get open, but ino A most no sooner get open. There, probably feeling some sort of relief and all my goodness here we go you're, probably hoping that feel that way to until I'm, it really hit the fan and your faith is come under fire. Because you you sort of mention that I was gonna be do business now. I I I I understand that sort of the way the world works. Now only culture is. They are in all my you have your face, feel tell you, but just one should keep that private you're not allowed to about it: you're not allowed the practice it in public of apparently in. That's that's what you guys found, because you ve been under attack by a mob of fur of the council torture. Folks tell us a little bit about what happened to you and them and when it it it all started.

Yeah, all going into the first year of business, we are hoping to get open in February. because your construction, everything we didn't get open until june late june and we had thirty weddings booked for Within a five months there, so you're really excited about that. After a great start, and then, ten days after we opened, we someone reach out ass. Ask us if we hold algae, gb q wedding ends with mechanisms are fake, hum. It was just- then that we felt so strongly about two hold to our values as we openness business ends in our here to serve the lord. Here to serve g We are not here to serve the people, and so it was just in a we couldn't we discussed you do that, like our hearts would not be. Two

in our continue with that man of business and anti dark, Kids, one way at home and then run our business a different way like this. It is we're all producers in and that, no matter what we do in life that power gonna run it, and so we responded honestly that way and now was on june thirty, and that person there ass green shouted that conversation I had with her, the shared out all over her instagram and by the morning it had just spread like wildfire, and it was everywhere- the hate. Yes, I mean, and, and from there are now like its than just let us think we hate people, and that is not the case- that all their this painting picture that we are the most evil hateful people and you the act like I said it is not the case.

we want to celebrate, love and and the way god intended loved to be celebrated, and I'm just this code between a man and a woman and god, and so that's gonna work. Today we have books- you're really merchant sense we came out with our stance there go on, I ask you a little bit about what has happened in the attacks of coming. You guys are looking discriminate against anyone you're just looking to that business the way your faith in accordance with your faith, and you, attack that it seems like this made the news even intact online and that's cause people decide they're, not gonna. come to your venue, they're not going to It have weddings or events. There really also has, I think, showed You quite a bit about who you are and who goddess throughout the whole process here:

you know, I think one of the hardest walks that you can have is you know, being humble and submitting to gods plan and that that can be very differ. Go for everybody has been extremely difficult for me as a man, we tend to shame. We can just fix it ourselves and put it in. Control will just take care of it type mentality and now It's been a lot of our prayers. Lately has been oh god, what do you want with the space? What are you trying to Teach us through this: why are we going through this despite the outcome mean we have to be very realistic in our financial state, that I might be happening and we might be having a close our doors at some point, and that's me We were, God wants,

He wants to teach us that standing for him and fighting for him More of what he wants, thus to go. If you and your people to see in all we ve got a great supporter your church, through my men's group, your friend, your family- and I think we'll keep down, is that, as we all know why the purpose of this is Will we until it all very, maybe years out, browed. We won't know what what his intentions were. Then that's, that's difficult, because like you said, were entrepreneurs we opened the business, we All these out jackson them and grandiose your vision of what our business is going to be This is really all about him and made a start and ok, lord, what are you why we version with the space,

Well, let me ask you cause, I know you guys have a lot on line anytime. You have to open a business. Are you you you, you put a lot on the line and what stand to lose. If this doesn't work. well. We can say it's a multi million dollar project it it's over seven triggers In its turn, ass be alone and in our debts a lot of money for us that would really put us lavishly. Curse business closing doors and their livelihood year, though. Gone yeah pretty much You know I I understand that you have, you have come to face reality,

There's a gives and go set up to help these folks outlined by the way out. Talk about the the attacks that have been made. and how you ve held, because I think that more anything that has given in fact the nick, you told me last night talking about. Does that you, you have been able to have some really good conversations with people one on one, I think there's a difference and we get into groups of people. We get this mob mentality that it can take place, but one on one we've kind of lost that, whether it's social media or some of the things that we see nowadays with a smile. mentality takes over worse in the attacks that have happened that have come your way, some of the things that you've heard and then how? How have you counter them and and they're able to have good conversations with people and maybe.

Be a shining example of other of of your faith in that process there. You know most most of what we've received has been on social media and it's you know, anywhere from that's two year business, at two year: livelihood, have made comments about common pictures of me with my children, com, rumor Hannah has received from cars that are just I can't say it on I've radio, I assume, just a nasty, stopped No wishing she be bare and for the rest of her life, people are making Boss inquiries forever

our space online. Some of them would put in the event type child sacrifice, guess count six six, The person who is hosting the event is satan. the comments about things that Jesus could do with his male appendages to himself just crazy, like You read it new like how How do we go from? We believe marriage to be a man or woman to death threats, pedophilia you know child sacrifices. I called my mom? Somehow they got her number left a voice mail on her phone. Rating her for raising me How are these our? How You countered this. I far back as I think you ve not thought in the ways that probably want to have some time wasted, might think about it, but how

encountered, some of this odyssey through community our church are bar pastor, my man, My group has been great, I think What I said you ass, I was I'm a rather large, bald white man with a beard. it is basically they anti Christ in this society, and you know I think there would be a ariel type to how I would I would respond. Based on how I look and error But he has told me: wouldn't it be amazing for you to just shut god's light respond with hate, and you know speak, love into the situation and having that I've tried to do any time we ve had media approach. Or. I have had conversations with people with the opposing view. Once a couple,

a wedding will that we were hosting- and it was those are the best thomas and you could have because you're not to change, someone's opinion or or believe you're just voicing the depth of your belief. versus tagline on social media or the news right homophobic couple Opens wedding ready now, that's not us and will you She had to have a conversation. People say this is, We believe This is why were running our businesses way, it does After is all in all this. That's going on. I want to ask you about legal issues. We gonna take a quick break, they'll catch, you ve, come and crossed some of those as well, you're under fire there. This couple is in michigan this grand rapids couple. You can help them will tell you how an maybe help you when it comes to Fighting back in finding out where that line is because, folks, this is not the only incidents,

have to figure out where your line is in letter You intend to stand in the future. We're seeing faith under fire in a lot of different ways, will contain this conversation ran up to this just in berkeley and for glinda. They neglect back programme the talking with nick and Hannah and ITALY right now, the Glenn Beck program. There are a couple who started a wedding venue and as they started to get going. Somebody enquired about a same sex marriage they save because of their faith. can participate in that they're, not homophobic, that they say they have christian business values and faith, those is under far you guys actually nick, and how are you you ve? You ve had some legal issues. The city has an ordinance there. apparently it has come up into the discussion here. You gotta go to court on this, but actually

The news on this looks to be pretty good. So far. You guys have yet ever your actual court day play out, but what's your hearing is pretty encouraging. But this is something I think a lot of folks are off are facing when it comes to the lake. christian businesses, especially this new law has been passed, a weather, gonna stand or not, so wanna ask you this how did you make that decision? What would you say to others? Because think we're moving into a time where we're going to have to make tough decisions. Where is our red line? Where, where do we draw that line in the sand? What what is it that the point that we decide we're going to stand at, whether it's in our faith or whatever it might be in our families and our whatever it might be, how did you Figured that out Yeah so.

yeah? I guess I would, I would start with the answer now and go back to when it happened. Once you make the stand and you go through the fire, it literally is like gas on fire it there's a huge ignition of reality social media hatred. Just slander, all these things and Oh my gosh, why don't we just make make this decision like this is terrible. many goes away enough with Jim slander and that petty stuff and then start to realize? Why made a stand I would rather- and we have said this to each other we'd, rather look back and lets say our business has to close a madman fortunate, we'd rather looked back show. our family shore, children lab

We made a stand. For exactly what we believe in. no matter the outcome, because we made the decision forgot not for us. Ash, not for anything about our culture, our society. It was you know why We believe a marriages between a man and a woman, we gonna stand on, that and so what I would just tell people is there Is there a moment where you're like I could? I could just it doesn't really bother me right now or if not it doesn't affect my life.

Man the longer you go saying that the harder it is and want to get to a point where you realize it is something that's going to affect. You gotta, take a break here. Nick and Hannah appreciate you joining us. The owners of the broadway ave like to help them out. I put the link to the gifts and go at mister justin barkley over on twitter. We'll talk more about this. Your faith is under firefox, going to be cousin back program the the cusp of christmas. Our faith is under fire. Just in berkeley, infertile ended and gloom back programme and eaten up. Listen, I like, and we will, I will discuss, good news, of course, and more in moments- I you, but I did

with its it's easy. It's important that where realistic as well- and we talk about some of the things that that aren't fund a face- But particularly as these, these folks, this couple here in michigan this one, this wedding than you than the tallies They face a fight. They've made a decision, they decided where the line is in the sand. For the and of course, the reason I bring this up is because we're all going to have to do that at some point. We all are going to have to make that decision, we're all going to face a time. We're gonna our faith in summer it'll, be called into question. At its best, if we decide now those conversations with our families. In fact,. Where we're gonna be why now I just gave out they have a gives ngo with what I really like about. This is the christian company. I think that the it's like that the alternative go funding, baby gives then go set up to help

With a legal already, a business expenses, it may come up as they fight this fight. on on my twitter. I put it up it at mister Just in barclay, so you can go on over and you can help these facts, but one of the things I just realized is as you can give in invokes, are coming ended to donate here and there, and I know that they are Should there be, things, if that was the most this on this gives ngo. They have ever prayer button. You can look for prayer request, you can tell let that that the folks know that your praying for them, how great is at I put the linked to that of MR, austin barclay over. on twitter. No surprise, but I just saw this again along with fear this. This marriage act that just past there's the This is not the only time you see this, in fact, there's a story out of.

The uk. That's that's really concerning a what Arrested, What she was doing outside with abortion clinic- and you would think when you this story. oh it's right out of a just opium horn of officials on the line. Let me grab a quick phone call. You can join as a triple eight. Seventy seven back, that's eight. Seventy seven bc k phil is up. failure on the global programme procedure. Jonas. Just a merry christmas and a happy christmas, one question: one question to these despicable. ever target a mosque ask them to have you think you too ready or do they gotta was alive, basically or Haven't baker, kick this ever brought up to the ever target them like one?

they just like in wonder. You know it's a good question christian seem to be, for the most part, the ones under attack in the targets, butter and thank you for your caulfield, but I will tell you this is Only christians, this new, this new marriage act, will will the target of these folks. In fact, we have seen. People who all over and face come together, in including a muslims, christians, jews and muslims to against in, in particular, air michigan in dearborn against some of these or easy pornographic books it were set in the school libraries I think, folks of all walks of life different faiths. This an opportunity for us to come together know that our faith is because it's it's it's not just. It is pretty evidently presuppose not just christian

You see the way things work for marxist. It is that the government and who Where's control of it see day they have to be the. only source of of everything, christians particular, but anyone inventing faith power. You believe him just like me, after the election, alot of folks were upset and folks and left me. I'm a turn him and see what he does. It never have he's cryin, I'm sure you can meet bladder and into the microphone, and I wasn't eighth eight. I noticed surprise a lot of people, but you know it's it's because my hope my Joy, my peace. It doesn't come from any man actually, not one in office, no attention. Nobody serving in D or anywhere else, my home, I very much fear that come from it For much bigger place. This is why faith,

is going to continue to be under attack and, if so, why we ve gotta, decide right here and now What is. that we are going to stand or fall. Over the uk, a woman was arrested. Four silently praying. police officer asks. Are you praying questions about? What's going on there to call, should you choose to sue because you didn't have to say anything, no harm, you and your friends do not mention when questioned something which you later on, coordinate and disseminate. What what do you have for the? What are you here for today? He says. But she says, will unify physically I'm just I'm just standing here.

That's not good enough. You continue to ask questions. How do you see the kind of what why here and placing it on this important resolutions is used on anti popular protest? Just one woman out on the sidewalk. One woman out of this looks like it's: it's it's It's a very random neighbourhood, but she just happens to be outside, of an abortion centre. she's standing there peacefully quietly silently praying. praying for those innocent lives. What happens next. Police officer,

The question has been praying and she says I might be praying than my head, but not out loud. Why does that matter? I'd ask you one school. Will you voluntarily come with us now to the police station to answer some questions? They want to ask her some questions, cause she's, praying guy for the trains where there are allegations that you are being published, see, there's allegations that she's broken some sort of order, order over there, the publica protected spaces, protected spaces and apparently you're, not you're, not alone It stands more in pray. I forgot choice: okay, but then you're under arrest on suspicion of failing to comply with public spaces protection order. under arrest. Praying outside and abortion clinic you're dead. This actually happen, I'm not! This isn't a bit.

So over the uk by the anti social behaviour act of whatever is new. Again, you don't have anything. My homeland friends do mention my question. Some regulation electronically, the culture, the uterus europe necessary the investigation and defense, the people claiming the social justice she's being arrested mainly to protect vulnerable people. I guess people going into side inside the abortion centre there in the uk, not to mention the vulnerable lives that will be murdered as are inside. I know this isn't dub. This isn t necessarily the

the jolly The jolly information that you may want to hear today, but the folks do believe as a wake up call and its one that we all need to hear. And I'm going talked about this quite extensively, what it might look, to stand- how your faith might be tested. ass, to make these decisions now, because we, don't know necessarily what's coming, although we do know that, inevitably we will have to make some tough decisions. Space to make them now in the future and time to get tough. you lean into a peace, have the courage to walk out

What you ve already predetermine merry christmas. back with more after this Onawandah programme, stay informed, sign up for the free newsletter today, Glenn beck dot com, the poor, dear folks, we have a bit of it updates couple of things actually plead.

Apparently it's nice that some people, you know idolize me and put me up on a pedestal, but I don't get impressed by that. Unless you're sure you have yeah well, you know he likes he likes and funding for the gain of function, research that he gets to do maybe like there's a lot there's a lot of that. Actually, I think in the omnibus they're still funding that stuff big news out of florida. The florida supreme court has approved run. The stand is requested. A grand jury uncovered. Nineteen jabs on the frau geology before, the supreme court on thursday rolling a grand jury requested by forty republican governor rhonda scientists to investigate the manufacturers of the jams

You know you're the word, the term fake news quite a bit when it comes to things that we hear in the news and, of course, pals. Six and everything else these days, but it turns out, It may not necessarily be intentional in some ways, but there are some things that may not necessarily be as true it. Maybe we heard traditionally through the years and christmas stories in did a little research project a few years back when you were able to step away on a sabbatical and look into some of the stories that we here in the bible particular around Jesus birth. In the I- and I wanted to give you a chance to talk a little bit about that. And share what you found in fact, so thank you for joining us and thank you for running about and joined the buckets it really is well interesting to see some of the things that the true story behind the birth of christ now total of things

Folks, look even sometimes look at some of these stories like their fairytales, but you ve got an actual evidence that points Not just christ, but his is divine birth we have to remember that these stories come to us from the two thousand through thousand years of tradition and through those too near solemnly two thousand years of tradition, but it comes choice through its own little pilgrimage, your journey from the in east through dark ages, the middle ages of europe and then northern europe and england, and eventually to the new world to our culture today, and so here. In the twenty first century, were duly the very ancient stories which have a long history, of their own and all ass, it came along on that journey to us it accumulated lots of extra baggage extra tradition,

She's, beautiful traditions and beautiful interpretations of the story, which we now accept as part of the story and part of the whole thing, so I try to go back and sort of trim away all those extra accretions that elder extra up to see what the gospels actually say and how that fits with the geography and the arctic, oh gee, at the politics of the time. What would be some of the things that you found to be the most interesting longer journey in the research and in writing the book. The secret of the bethlehem shepherds, Well, one of things. Remember also, is that in our age we are really lucky because we live in today went through archaeology, forensics and textual evidence. We know more about the ancient middle east and the time of the new testament than they have been our parents and grandparents and great Grandparents ever did so. This isn't time to be lived up to two experiences.

his discoveries. But to get you to answer your question, one of the things, for instance, is there was no room for them in the end and of course, when we hear that most of us in all my will conjure up the idea of some kind of a medieval european tavern with grumpy. Keep her out on the doorstep with its his dry hands on a detail and saying: oh, I'm sorry, there's no room for you here. You'll have to go to the stable over there across the hillside. Well, actually, I'm More is translated as in it are english translations is the greek word cattle loma, which basically means guest room, and I discovered that the houses in bethlehem at the time would be would have been very simple one to a room homes with a guest room bill. either on the roof off to decide and because the middle, two years, have a very strong tradition of hospitality and also aspires

hospitality for family members, so the india, that mary and Joseph baby cheesacre homeless on christmas night is something which sort of appropriated over the centuries and added in our own age, because we have a natural compassion for homeless people and a good cop, should for immigrants and so forth, but most certainly joseph the holy family would have gone to bed. Man, Joseph home town, and go into a wrote his home and found that there is no room in their guest room. So therefore They were ushered to the stable. Now these guys, these simple homes would have been built in the cave, if you go to the hallway today, you can still see these are cave, homes are and the cave was reserved for storage. It was like the back room, is reserved for storage and and stapling the animals, so Jesus would been born in a draft stable somewhere, but in a

a cave that was used as a stable, which is kind of like the back room, the family home. Now what about this? the major and and the story about being put in the major and obviously the the the the the sheep playing a role here in and we see, the animals nativity seen the wise men and all that any any about a year ago. The the visions we have, the the the images we have of the nativity which have come to us over these two thousand years are beautiful. They come to us, reticence, paintings and victorian paintings and modern day, paintings and and stories and so forth, but These are imaginative works about what would have happened based on on the simple historic tail theirs, illogical evidence that there was in between, The two rooms house and stable behind it. There would have been a kind of half wall which had a carved out place where the animals

Fed on this major bed would have been worth. The baby chooses would have been would have been laid the most interesting pieces of of your work and the research it you did, I think, was talking about the story about how the shepherds were were out in the field, and course what may be the story of of why that was so important, the lamb of god. All of that and you found something to be a little of it. I think a little interesting about the truth about what what was really Happening in those fields- and I think the truth, I confirm some of similar story. There is a kind of preaching which has been, which circulated this time of year, in which creatures like to say, you know the shepherds were sake. shepherds and they were raising the lands for sacrificing the temple When the baby lab would be born, it would be wrapped up in strips of clause and late and feeding trough to be crack protected until

priest recover to investigate the landscape was worthy per sacrifice. Their home. This angel said you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes. A leg in a major initial sign onto the teacher. Know no never going to find the true love of god. Well, that is a beautiful preach. employed, but I researched this very much in depth of mma over the last of the two months I was in Jerusalem and bethlehem and I could not find any evidence for that a story. However, there was a heidi scrub levels, which pointed out direction, and that is that in the mission, which is a jewish killer ro bricks and rules for worship and live. There is a reference that the animals that were raised between slim in the hills between Jerusalem, in bethlehem and of them. Just six miles from Jerusalem were to be you, were temple sacrificed. So a lot of scholars do believe that the shepherds above all, have were actually sacred chest

its and that they were raising the thousands and thousands of lives and sheep and goats, which would have been used for the in the temple, so these really were in an area that at It really would have had some major significance there, and I think that you, MR gives there, especially when you look at the history of the jews and the old testament of shepherds and lambs for sacrifice father. Abraham was a shepherd. Moses was a shepherd David king David was a shepherd boy in the same hills of bethlehem and this error, of the hebrew valley was worth. Whose patriarchs, eventually settled onward David, was brought up and were he served a he looked after the flocks, so the whole symbolism, history of shepherds and a close connection with god himself who, in the old testament, is reckoned to be the good shepherd all of this sort of plays a part

in the story of the shepherds in bethlehem, father dry long and actors. With his right now read the book. The secret of the bethlehem shepherds really enjoying your book value. Actually, you went there, you, u dull, then, and I think there is a lot that comes to mind when we are people, faith, and maybe you go search or maybe you read about or hear about these stores and just becomes party or traditional activities would do, and you see the christmas story but to actually go to where this all took place. It becomes a lot more real. You start to get your hands in the dirt, so to speak. You start to really see some of the stories come the life and a lot of ways a what had done for your faith? Well, I think one of the problems with christianity in the modern world today is that part

century now scholars have been debunking the historical aspect of the gospels and basically saying you know it's all a tissue fairy tales and imaginations of the early church. These things depend but especially the supernatural things didn't happen and I'd like to go back they will not read the texts exactly for what it is and try to strip away a lot of our own imaginations of what that looked like what that was like and try to imagine what was really like at the time at the place to understand more deeply and more fully. The real what's your historical aspects of the gospels, if folks wanna get your books and maybe lenient a little bit more. I am a joint at this time of year. I think it's that something we all ought to do typically the secret of the bethlehem shepherds look about the match eyes while work and they go. Where can I find out more well? I have a blog is called to twice

I'm gonna go dot com and just today I logged on the question.

You're one thirty, five, really just about hundred years after the death of resurrection of Jesus, the emperor adrian a temple on the site of where the birth of Jesus was already being venerated by early Kurt, the early christian church. So this very the one. Thirty five he built a temple to a donors- on that location and then the two hundred

Years later, when the empress Helena the white, the mother of the emperor constantine, who became a christian, comes to the holy defied the sacred sites that location the temple of donors built by the emperor Adrian was still there and the local said. Yes, that for two hundred years ago, bill in temple on the site of Jesus' birth so and tried to wipe out christianity. He actually preserved the site for posterity, and the church of the nativity in battle today, is built on that same site fascinating stuff.

You never can it's never enough, and let me tell you

experienced this in my own life. You really can't you can't keep up with it all. It is something that you will chase and you will never be able to act. catch up with. So Are you some chips?

Berries ears was quite a bit and I hear it I do a show here and in west michigan and grand rapids w o o d would ready on Israel. Would thirteen heard one of six nine fm em I will tell you: this has been a very. Tough here for a lot of folks with very contentious election specifically here in michigan, but all throughout the country. The mid terms were really tough there were some glimmers of hope. There were some good pieces of news, but I think a lot of folk still finding unawares roadway the red, soon army. We heard about things like that, Finding some challenging At times, in a lot of it in the end, then, let's be honest there. Even you do you gotta, be realistic. We are Brahms folks. and I believe we ought to face those problems. I believe we ought to go right throne, but I also want to tell you

the one. Otherwise I think we often overlook in battle Is it can be completely, I think, antics people with some folks might be thanking, but is Make sure that your well rested. To make sure that you don't lose hope how these next coming days He might have an opportunity here there to take a bit of a break down. We ought to, Like I said earlier, the news never stops nowadays is like drink it from a fire out. And in some days a hydrant many times, people have told me when I wearing bring that up is not it's more like a sewage by Iraq Now that you mention it yeah specially some of these stories. It can be.

But the news never stops the cycle just continues. I believe a lot of it most of it. is really meant to to overwhelm us too. Really keep us from being able to focus its meant to distract us, the fog of war, but they call that. Well, what happens if you get bogged down He had demoralized. Yeah you're, no good, you can't fight you. See the target you don't know what you're facing. If it's coming from all angles, you confess like there's, no hope. So what I suggest is taking some time. I, wrote a book a couple years back, it's called good news, hope and encouragement for trying times and in the book were part of. It

For me was right: about my. My first daughter and her story she was born, on this diamond factor december, six, twenty twenty- she was One at twenty seven weeks, she's born early, the doktor said. Oh my gosh, we don't know. What's going to happen, your daughter is coming. My wife's water broke. And we we didn't know what to expect the doctors they came in and tell us all kinds, a number of different things. It could possibly happen and go wrong and, of course,. Even in the middle of all that I had a bit of a peace that now Everything was gonna work out. I dont know. If I can really explain all of that. I do now now. Where it came from its the p, It follows me to this day:

even in these times. But it's a peace that I. I like to share with others. If I can, I liked, give it to you, but I can Just handed over, You have to go looking for yourself. I share in that book part of my process. One of the things that I do and I won't. I won't bore you with everything, but one of the things that I try to do is make sure that I clear a little bit of time. Ah, my counter. Two clear, my head and you may be saying, but I don't have time for that.

He he rest on our stem overall. He has so much going on. I dunno I just don't have time to sit down and. Clear. My coward. do nothing. Need it more than me but every morning is little bit of time to set your day Mere gps right. So that you know where you're going again. Your rooted in a solid foundation. I read a devotion.

In fact, I get a little time off next week and we spend some time.

Doing more that, I think We overlook. How important rest is. You know, god commanded. The seventh day. Even he rested when he made all of us. and he didn't have to I mean he's got some. There must be. More to that, maybe set of instructions for us in our human after all, or frail or fragile. much as we like to think were strong weak. Do it all alone. The good news is, you don't have to. take some time and think about what matters most over. Next couple of days, maybe Start to think about some of, Things that are going well already
