http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/09/14/glenn-beck-in-his-own-words-ill-save-more-people-than-schindler/In a long and often emotional interview with Ginni Thomas before his speech on Thursday at the Rally against the Iran Deal in Washington, D.C., Glenn Beck explained his mission to relocate Syrian refugees fleeing ISIS into the United States, even if that requires facilitating their illegal entry and his imprisonment.
I asked if my audience could raise $10 million before Christmas to bring the Christians in from Syria, Beck explained. We will vet them ourselves. We have former CIA people that are going over and theyre vetting everybody right now. We can save more people by Christmas than Oscar Schindler saved. Okay? Well, what are you going to do with them? What are you going to do with them? How are you going to get them in here? State Department wont let them in. Really? Because I know some bridges over a river in Texas that doesnt seem to matter. It doesnt seem to matter. And if they want to say, Now you cant bring those people in, now you cant, thats somehow illegal, well put you in jail I will so gladly grace a jail for the justice cause of saving peoples lives. I dont need your permission at all to do the right thing! Thats who we need to be now! Forget about Washington! You dont need permission to do the right thing.
Beck, who has vocalized his support for the plight of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, even going so far as to organize the distribution of teddy bears, soccer balls, and hot meals to illegal immigrants detained at the border last summer, got emotional discussing the Middle East migrant crisis engulfing Europe.
I hold my lamp beside her golden door, Beck cried, reciting a line from the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty. When we dont welcome in the tempest tossed. When we can watch them and see a boy laying face down in the sand and we dont accept them into our country, we dont have a light that were holding by that door anymore. This is a sacred land, and Gods plan will be enacted. Gods will will be done, and hell do it with or without us. We must choose to be on his side.
Beck characterized current events as part of a struggle of good versus evil that he feels compelled to address.
Im not a preacher. Im really under-qualified for everything Ive ever done, Beck explained. But I know this, and Ive seen it coming for more than 10 years, that there will come a time that the Lord will say, I cant protect you any more. Hes not going to punish us. Hes going to allow us to feel the full ramification of our choice. And that time is here. And Im not here to change the minds and the hearts of anybody in Congress, any political person, any press personI think my speech is going to sound like Chinese to most people in Washington and in the media.
Beginning to tear up, Beck continued, But Im here so I will be seen by the Almighty God, that my family will see their father stand. And that hopefully Americans that have eyes to see and ears to hear will understand its time now.
Becks message has shifted towards issues of faith, which he sees as divinely serendipitous. Gods timeline and our timeline has now just connected. Were now on his timeline. This is the time that we were born for. Its remarkable. And I can feel it happening, he said.
What Im trying to do right now is work on uniting people of different faiths, Beck explained. We dont have to mix, nor should we mix, our theologies or disregard the differences we have in theology. But [God is] calling all of Gods people together to stand right now. And Ive done enough homework and enough history to realize what point were at right now, and I refuse to be the church that stood and said, Sing louder when the trains packed with the Jews go by.
When asked why Obamas poll numbers are still so high, Beck answered, Because we live at the time of warning. Woe to those who make good evil, and evil good.
When Thomas mentioned how many projects Beck has going currently, he joked, I dont sleep a lot.

(16,254 posts)1. Another of Beck's quick-money-making schemes?
These people come up with all these scams to raise money for causes, but I always wonder how much of it reaches the people and how much can be stuffed in pockets...far away islands?
Beck will always be a con, even though he thinks he's changed. Put the "spots"
back on, Beck...you ain't gonna change them at this point in your life.
