Best of the Program | Guest: Jeremiah Johnston | 4/3/26

The episode opens with Glenn Beck delivering a fiery critique of systemic fraud in California, highlighting an estimated $180 billion in state-level fraud across programs like unemployment, Medi-Cal, and homelessness initiatives. He breaks down the staggering scale of the losses—$55 billion in improper unemployment payments alone—using vivid analogies to underscore the impact on average American families. Beck emphasizes that this is not isolated to blue states, warning that weak oversight enables fraud to become inevitable, and calls for accountability, particularly under J.D. Vance’s oversight. He then shifts to a spiritual and historical discussion with guest Jeremiah Johnston, a pastor and archaeologist, who presents compelling archaeological evidence for the historical existence of Jesus Christ and the resurrection. Johnston argues that Christianity is uniquely grounded in verifiable facts, citing discoveries like the James ossuary and the earliest known artifact with Jesus’ name—on a magic cup used for healing. He connects the timing of the Artemis launch and the upcoming Easter weekend to the historical crucifixion date of April 3, AD 33, framing it as providential. Beck challenges the false dichotomy between science and faith, asserting that both seek truth and are converging through archaeology and historical evidence. The episode closes with a powerful affirmation of faith, deliverance, and the enduring power of truth, even in the face of skepticism and modern cynicism.
