All right, so Stu,
I don't know.
I think there's a few things that should concern every single American.
Take Donald Trump, take Joe Biden out.
Let's just look at the system.
Whoever you're for, would you be cool with this being done by the President of the United States to anyone?
Okay.
Okay.
Last August, 2022, Department of Justice released stunning photograph depicting alleged contraband seized from Donald Trump's Palm Beach estate that day.
It showed colored sheets representing scary classifications and their classified levels attached to files discovered in Trump's private office.
Right?
You remember that?
I do remember.
It was a big story, Glenn.
Was it?
Yeah, I remember the pictures.
They were everywhere.
Huh.
Huh.
Okay, so.
At the time, one ex-CIA officer told ABC News the cover sheets indicated the highest levels of secrecy.
And in the wrong hands, they could have resulted in murder.
I remember this.
The case was Donald Trump so egregious in this particular matter.
He didn't care about the security of the nation.
He didn't care about our nuclear secrets.
He just took a bunch of stuff labeled top secret and brought it to his house and put it in his shower.
Remember that?
That was terrible.
Why would he do such a thing?
13 boxes or containers contained documents with classification markers uh and in all over 100 unique documents with classification markings were seized okay
certain uh certain of uh the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status okay the doj's clever wordsmithing however did not accurately describe the origin of the cover sheets in what must be considered not only an act of doctoring evidence but willfully misleading the American people into believing the former president is a criminal and a threat to national security, agents involved in the raid attached the cover sheets to at least seven files to stage that photo.
Here's what they did.
That's incredible.
Classified cover sheets were not recovered in the container.
contrary to what the FBI originally said.
In fact, after being busted recently by defense attorneys for mishandling evidence in the case, Brad had to fess up about how the cover sheets actually ended up on the documents.
The new version of the story, where he admits kind of a critical detail that he failed to disclose.
If the investigation team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet.
The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose.
But before the official cover sheets were used as a placeholder, agents apparently used them as props.
FBI agents took it upon themselves to paper clip the sheets to the documents, something
evident
given the uniform nature of how each cover sheet is clipped to a file in the photo.
They laid them out on the floor and then snapped a picture of it.
This
is never
done.
You don't think?
No, no, this is never done.
Now,
the federal judge that is looking at this case, which is now in court,
they have postponed the document trial because they've said there are too many things here that don't add up.
There are too many things the FBI did that they never did, nor should they have ever thought of doing.
So there's too many irregularities.
Whether this thing even goes through or not.
But here's the point.
If I said to a Democrat,
how would you feel if Donald Trump, when he was in office, wanted to get Joe Biden so badly that he went into the House and he had the FBI arrange a photo session
and changed documents and made them look much scarier than they were, basically planting evidence that was not there they came in with that evidence
would you be okay with that
planting evidence yeah no no isn't that what they did
I mean certainly to manipulate public opinion yet they walked in with the things they photographed that said were in john in donald trump's home They were not marked that way.
They did not have those covers.
That's incredible.
I mean, I definitely thought my impression when seeing that photo that they pulled out was that that's what they pulled out.
And so it was basically it made it more egregious for Trump.
He saw that it said top secret all over it and still took it.
And, like, you know, when you, if you don't know anything about this, you look at that and you say, well, he should have known.
I mean, it says top secret all over the place.
But it didn't say top secret all over the place.
It just, they added that later for these photos, is what we're learning.
Yes.
That's incredible.
That is, that is, at best, propaganda.
At best, propaganda.
Would you be happy as a Democrat if Donald Trump was engaged in that sort of, at best, propaganda to sway people his way?
You would say no.
I would say no.
I say no now.
Why aren't you saying no?
Here's the next one.
Do you remember the name Robert Malley?
Robert Malley was
the subject of some controversy and some scrutiny last year
because he is our envoy
to
Iran.
And all of a sudden, we were going to Iran and then all of a sudden the envoy was like, he can't go.
Why?
Well, he's taking some time off.
Why?
Well, he just is.
Why?
Well, we're not sure.
What do you mean you're not sure?
Well, we can't tell you.
What the hell was going on with that?
Well, we just found out.
Now, this on the heels of what I just talked to you about with Donald Trump.
He was, he lost his top secret classification.
And when they finally came out with that, why?
Well, he just did.
Why?
He just did.
Specifically now, and this did not come from the Biden administration.
This has come from whistleblowers, we believe.
He was suspended
because he allegedly transferred classified documents to his personal email account, downloaded the documents to his personal cell phone, and somebody received them, but we don't know who yet.
It's unclear whom he intended to provide these documents, but it is believed that a hostile cyber actor was able to gain access to his email and his phone and obtain downloaded information.
These were top secret.
These allegations have a substantial impact on our national security and people should be held accountable swiftly and strongly.
But we're not doing anything about him.
We just downgraded his security clearance and he was suspended for a while.
Are you kidding me?
This guy is a spy for the Iranians.
You're trying Donald Trump and you are using propaganda techniques to make it, to hype it up.
And this guy, you won't even tell the American people
what he did,
how he did it.
We have to find out through whistleblowers, and nothing is happening to him.
Honest question to anyone who might, you know, have a passion against Donald Trump.
Which one are you more concerned about?
Someone who's doing this with Iran or classified documents being in the private home of the former president of the United States?
They'd say Donald Trump.
How?
I know.
I mean, you have to be insane to say that.
Correct.
And we keep letting these people go.
We keep letting them go.
Try this on Versaise.
The Republican governors of Texas and Florida have penned letters condemning a proposal that would effectively allow the Democratic administration or any president to wrest control of the National Guard units away from their states without governors
permission.
This is the U.S.
Air Force Legislative Proposal 480.
It's not just Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott against this.
48
governors are against this.
Joe Biden wants it.
Why?
The National Guard cannot be called away from their home state without the permission of the governor.
Now, let's just say
you are on the left and you have always argued a real well-regulated militia.
That means the National Guard.
Okay.
Then that makes this even stronger.
If that's the well-regulated
militia for each state, the federal government cannot take it from the governors or the state.
Because it is their last defense.
And what states do you think he'd take those from?
I'm guessing Texas and Florida.
And they'd be off fighting some war in God knows where.
And Texas and Florida wouldn't have access to their home state defense.
Do you want,
Democrats, do you want a Donald Trump to have the power to take your National Guard away from you
on his whim.
Of course you answer no
and I answer no as well.
Why am I saying no now would say no under Trump, but you don't seem to care when it's Biden?
Who's really protecting democracy and the Republic?
Here's another one.
Biden administration hid the pause in arms sales to Israel from Congress.
Wait, the javelin missiles going to Ukraine.
Donald Trump
paused those, they say, only for
his personal or political enrichment.
He was going to be able to get dirt on Joe Biden.
And that can't ever happen.
Okay, well, we all know there's corruption over there, but why worry about that then or now?
We'll just keep sending hundreds of billions of dollars over to Ukraine.
This time, when the American people are for the arms sales, when Congress passed the sales,
President Biden secretly stops the arms sales to Israel, even though it was passed by Congress, approved by the people as much as you can possibly approve anything anymore.
Why isn't he?
Oh, well, because he really believes this.
Oh, and Trump didn't?
You can read the hearts of men.
Hmm.
And you don't think this has anything to do with the election?
You don't think
that Mr.
Flip-Flop on Israel, I love him, I hate him, I love him, I hate him, I love him, I hate him.
Hey,
what are the Muslims saying in Dearborn, Michigan?
Yeah, that's right.
I remember now.
I hate them.
That's not a political move?
Why am I against
somebody doing political moves
unless it is
because it is not in
the national interest?
If it is in the national interest,
we should have a conversation about it.
Wait, the president did something.
Why did he do it?
Can he do that?
This one?
Pure political.
Pure political.
That's it.
We know it.
But you don't have a problem with it this time.
How about the mistrial that should have been called yesterday on Stormy Daniels?
I'll get into that in 60 seconds.
What would you give today to be able to go back and do a few things differently in life?
You know, throw that last pass championship game.
Kiss the girl you never had the courage to kiss.
Start that business when you wanted to instead of waiting for years.
When you look back from the future to today
and what you did financially, will you wish you did things differently?
You need to protect your own hard-earned money.
Do you know that just the liabilities, there's a story out today, it's in the show prep,
about how Social Security is is going to collapse in 2035.
And nobody has a plan for it.
Of course, nobody has a plan for it.
Do you know what our unfunded, look this up, go to the national debt clock.
Do you know what our unfunded liabilities currently stand at?
$217
trillion.
Yeah, I think there's going to be some cuts.
I think there's going to be some cuts.
They are going to keep spending and spending and spending until the entire thing comes down.

Station ID.
Do you think maybe it's a little overwhelming just
the stories I've given you in the last 20 minutes?
Yeah.
Okay.
Haven't even scratched the surface yet.
Don't know if we're going to get to all of the stories by the end of the hour.
Let's go to the Stormy Daniels testimony yesterday.
Now, she was told, and the attorneys were told, that
there's not to be anything salacious given in testimony.
Okay.
All right.
This is all about the hush money deal.
Did they pay her to be quiet?
I
think who was it that testified?
It might have been her that testified yesterday that that money was not,
that was for services or for a product or something that she was going to do.
It was not to be quiet.
Okay.
Well, that kind of hurts the case quite a bit.
And I asked on the first day that
she was giving her testimony,
what does she have to say that
makes any difference on the money?
that was paid to her.
What does the affair thing have to do other than, did you you have a night with Donald Trump?
Yes.
Did you have sex with him?
Yes.
Was there, is there a deal between you and his people to stay quiet?
Yes or no?
Perhaps you can come up with a justification to ask about it, especially because he's saying it didn't happen, right?
You can see that there might be a reason to at least ask the question, but just the basics is all you need.
But if you look at, first of all, no salacious material.
If you look at what she said in her affidavit, it was kind of a just a crazy night, you know, and she went up and she, you know, wasn't planning on having sex, but you know, he talked her into it and they had sex and he was using the apprentice.
But she never felt scared.
She wasn't raped.
She wasn't any of that.
She seemingly me-tooed herself in the meantime.
Yeah.
Now, yesterday, what came out in trial was that he was blocking her exit from the door with his body,
that she was
just kind of blacked out, the room began to spin.
All of these things that make it sound like it was rape.
None of that was in her pre-trial testimony.
Or her initial telling the story.
Nothing.
It's all changed.
The Trump attorneys asked for a mistrial.
You can't just pour that out on the stand without us knowing that that's coming.
That completely is a violation of the way this system works, but also shows that she was lying either then or now, which is it?
This is a mistrial.
You can't just dump that on us in the middle of a trial.
Judge said, dump away.
And she's literally told every version of the story now.
She's now hit all of them.
Anything that could have possibly happened in this room, she has has now said occurred.
Including it never occurring.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable what's happening.
Now, let's go to the next
wonderful news story about our government.
Every day we're sending a message to the left.
You're not going to win this one.
A reckoning is coming.

All right, just want to give you a recap of the stories we've already covered.
These are just from today.
The DOJ looks like it doctored the crime scene photos from the Mar-a-Lago Mar-Lago raid.
Oh.
Okay.
So the federal judge has indefinitely postponed that classified document trial because there's too many things that are wrong with it, according to the judge.
Huh.
Leading Republicans reveal allegations on why Biden's envoy to Iran was suspended.
Because
he was taking classified documents, putting them in his email, then transferring them to his phone, and people probably, we don't know for sure, from Iran ended up with our top secret documents.
But nothing's being done about him.
Then we have the Biden administration making a power grab for the National Guard to make sure that the president doesn't have to go through a governor to get the National Guard.
48 governors are again, which one?
Well, let me just finish this sentence.
48 governors are against this.
I don't know if you know this, but we don't have 48 conservatives governors.
48 of them are like,
I wouldn't do that.
That sounds like a really bad idea and unconstitutional.
But he's just doing it to be able to, you know, protect the Republic.
Biden administration hid paws in arms sales to Israel from Congress.
They knew they were doing something wrong.
They tried to hide it.
How many watergates do we have going on here?
Then you have the Stormy Daniels trial that happened yesterday.
Now, let me give you some additional things that happen.
The Blaze media is reporting today that we sat down for an interview on May 2nd with one of NPR's most recent hires, Jude Jaffe Block.
The purpose of the conversation was to discuss our bombshell story, which exposed flyers encouraging illegal aliens to vote for Joe Biden in an invasion staging camp in Mexico.
The meeting was only conducted after a written agreement that it would be recorded.
NPR now refuses to share the interview recording.
Here's why.
Joffee Block attempted to question the authenticity of the flyers using the same extreme talking points already employed by the New York Times, pushing the regime media agenda and gaslighting the public by acting like the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border is not a threat.
We easily debunk these points by pointing to additional evidence that we had on the matter, including a sworn statement under the
penalty of perjury.
Joffe Block then, after we asked her or him, I don't know what, I don't know what it is,
but nobody gave me the pronouns.
So
anyway, she was concerned.
If I'm mislabeling you with your pronouns, I'm sorry.
She was concerned about illegal aliens voting in the elections.
We asked, are you concerned about this?
She maintained the position that she just couldn't understand the link between mass illegal immigration and the potential for widespread voter fraud.
This is the NPR reporter.
Even after we laid out the feverish efforts of some left-wing activists to maintain vulnerabilities to our election systems so that illegal aliens can be more easily vote, the most shocking part of the interview was when we questioned Jaffe Block about her past affiliation with the now-defunct left-wing organization known as ACORN.
When asked whether the now NPR reporter, whether she used to work for Acorn and whether she helped register illegal aliens to vote, Joffee Block admitted that she had worked for Acorn to register voters, but then went silent and abruptly ended the meeting.
Acorn, in case you don't remember, was a corrupt left-wing organization that championed the causes such as affordable housing and voter registration.
It was shut down after it was caught on tape giving advice on how to commit tax fraud and caught on tape
them helping people set up underage prostitution rings.
It was a cute little organization.
Acorn was accused of engaging in voter registration fraud leading up to the 2008 presidential election.
The organization faced allegations including submitting duplicate registrations,
falsifying information, such as registering fictional characters like Mickey Mouse and the Dallas Cowboys players.
The group's endorsement of Barack Obama raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and favoritism, especially since Obama had been or previously had an illegal,
illegal connection with the group.
Finally, multiple Acorn workers across multiple states were convicted of voter fraud.
Now, the Blaze has the question: for NPR,
are you hand why are you
hiring
new quote-unquote journalists that used to work for Acorn
hmm
I mean the other side of that would be you love Acorn and and the right supposedly loves James O'Keefe
So you want to hire James O'Keefe just so you're fair and balanced?
Oh, you wouldn't?
Why?
How could somebody who worked for an organization rife with corruption, especially around voter fraud, how could that be the one you assigned to cover a story about voter fraud?
Huh.
By the way, if she doesn't actually support illegal aliens voting, why did she refuse?
Why didn't she, why didn't she just say so?
Why did she refuse to say so?
Hmm.
Acorn, now at NPR.
So why is this in this story of government corruption?
Because you pay for NPR.
Your tax dollars pay for NPR.
They're not the people's voice.
They're the administration's voice.
And it's got to stop.
But meanwhile, we're working on something else, perhaps maybe a little more important.
House Republicans investigating the Biden administration ahead of the 2024 election are raising concerns over revelations of the documents reported by the Washington Examiner.
Now, these documents are about a key meeting between the White House and left-wing activists on voter registration.
GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly worried that an executive order issued by President Joe Biden in 2021,
why are we just working on this now?
We've been ringing the bell on this since 2021.
Anyway, it mandated that federal agencies develop voter registration plans with approved outside groups.
Now, I'm a little concerned.
They'll be weaponized
and they will...
These approved groups will really only
benefit the Democrats.
Biden administration has framed the unprecedented operation as nonpartisan, though the internal documents show the government hosted a July 2021 order planning call that appeared to serve overwhelmingly as the platform for the left-wing organizations to suggest sweeping election policy changes.
President Biden's executive order is an overreach of the executive branch constitutional authority and disregards the Constitution's federalist election system.
This is coming from
the Oversight Committee chairperson, Congressman James Comer.
House Republican chairwoman Elise Stefanik said the internal meeting notes reveal illegal coordination between the Biden administration and the progressive activists to plot election interference, adding that lawmakers are investigating the 2021 executive order to ensure our elections are free and fair.
Stefanik said it's widely considered
as in the running of the former
former President Donald Trump's vice presidential pick in 2024.
That's who she is.
According to the Real Clear Politics polling average, Trump leads Biden by one percentage point.
Here's the thing:
if they can register
and get two percentage points out of just the illegal registration,
you win this election.
You win this election.
And what a surprise they are doing it in all of the
purple states.
Anything that is possible to be flipped, that's where all of this is happening.
Now, by the way, there are several rules, I don't know,
in our Constitution and other federal rules and laws that bars federal agencies from spending funds beyond those approved by Congress, none of this was approved by Congress.
You know why?
Because they couldn't get it past Congress.
That's why
the meeting was virtual over a platform Zoom attended by representatives from the executive office of the president and the Department of Justice, among other agencies, as well as staffers from groups such as the Open Society Policy Center, George Soros' group, End Citizens United, and eBay founder Pierre Olamedar's Democracy Fund.
Also, there were others that were involved as well,
Southern Poverty Law Center,
and
I think it's Demos,
the think tank.
that is coming out of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
They were trying to figure out a way to leverage federal resources and enhance democratic political power.
The League of Women Voters urged agencies to register people to vote
as a citizen and naturalization ceremony run by federal courts.
The Sentencing Project, a left-wing group that supports defunding prisons, said we really need to register all of the people in the prisons.
Even the Small Business business administration was involved in this.
So what does this mean?
Well,
if we don't have an overwhelming turnout for Donald Trump in all of these swing states, if you don't get every single person who is on the fence to get out and actually vote, if every person doesn't come out, we don't win.
They are going to do everything they can.
I'm glad to see that the House is on top of this now.
They weren't in 2020.
Nobody would listen in 2020, but now they are.
But
once the votes are cast, it's going to be hard to turn it around.
There will be absolutely no credibility for whomever wins.
If Donald Trump wins, you know the left will say what they've been saying since the year 2000.
They stole it.
If Joe Biden wins,
I have to tell you, it's going to be hard not to believe that it wasn't stolen with all of the things that they're doing right now.
And for people who don't think the left is going to say this is stolen if Donald Trump wins, This entire Stormy Daniels trial is about the fact that they're accusing Donald Trump of stealing the election in 2016.
That's what the whole basis of this, right, is not the hush payments.
It's not the salaciousness.
It is their case that in theory, these payments helped him manipulate the election results and steal the election in 2016.
Every time they lose, they say this.
The only thing that's unique about the Republicans in 2020 is it's not the norm.
We don't typically say the election was stolen when we lost it.
They do every single time.
And I will tell you, I think most conservatives feel like I do.
If
this were blockchain and there was no way to fake it and the American people decided to go a different path, all right, well, I disagree with you and I don't want to go down that path with you.
But it was a fair election and I could live with it.
I can't live with things where
we know things are not right.
We have to fix this now.
And the second part of it is you have got to go out and vote and get everyone that you know to go out and vote.
It's got to be overwhelming.
Or one way or the other,
the country will just burn down to the ground.
And we can't allow that to happen.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
You know, Mother's Day is coming up.
You know, it's May 12th.
Today's May 8th.
So that's this Sunday.
You're going to mess this up if you don't do something about this right away.
Now that you're thinking about it, do something about Mother's Day.
Mom did a lot for you over the years.
Maybe you could do something nice for her.
And, you know, getting her flowers is a nice gesture.
I will say, probably the flowers maybe in the past that you have...
jumped in on for your mom.
Maybe they died after a couple of days.
You can do better than that.
You can do better than that with books.
Their flowers are cut fresh and sourced directly from the best flower farms, so they last way longer.
They even have flowers flowers grown on the side of a volcano.
If you want something unique, exotic, they've got it.
And it's just simple.
You can go online, you can pick the delivery date, and you're done.
You can even do it a little bit.
It's probably too late to do something early.
But I had a
delivery from Books sent to my wife a little early before Mother's Day, letting her know, hey, I'm thinking about you not even on Mother's Day.
With 25% off, you can send something to your mom, your wife, your aunt, obviously your mistress, whoever you would like.

So, uh,
I will be out for the next three days or two days.
It's terrible.
You said that like you didn't mean it at all.
Really?
Yeah.
How did you determine that?
I'm going to be gone for the next few days.
No!
Yes.
Why?
Are you okay?
What's happening to you?
I'm going on a strange vacation.
Really?
Yeah.
Epstein Island?
Not that strange.
Okay.
Not that strange.
I'm just having some surgery done on my eyes, and so I won't.
Wow, that sounds fun.
Yeah, it's going to be really fun.
So I'll be out for the next couple of days.
Hope to be back on microphone
Monday.
So doing the show, but you don't want people to see like Phantom of the Opera situation going on.
I've heard and I've seen some photos of other people who've had this done.
It's not attractive.
Not attractive.

You know what would be be nice if you have a home and you're able to just keep it and no one steals it from you?

Yeah, I feel like that's something we should try in this country because lately there's been this major scheme going on where hackers go into your accounts, they sign over the deed of the home to themselves and then just take out

That's a conspiracy theory.
Is it?
Yeah.

Chronic migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.
Botox, onobotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they start.
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.
It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.
Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
Why wait?

It's a new day, a time to rain.
Welcome to the fusion
of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
Welcome to Wednesday.
Tonight, we have The Reckoning at 9 p.m.
Eastern on Blaze TV.
The Reckoning leak exposes dark world of gender-affirming care.
This is such a dark world.
You won't believe.
I'm going to go over it here in a little while.
The things that
are left on the editing floor.
The things that we left on the editing floor are so monstrous
that you you just won't believe.
Wait, that didn't make the special?
No, no.
The malpractice that is going on right now, the evil, the Dr.
Frankenstein kind of experiments that are being done on children.
And you know who I feel bad for?
Not only the children, but their parents.
Many times they have no idea.
They have no idea what they're walking into.
They have no idea how to deal with it.
The system is set up completely against them.
And their kids are going into a slaughterhouse.
Don't believe me?
This is happening all over the country.
And
we have a woman from the Daily Single, Signal.
She is a senior reporter.
She's also written the book, D-Trans.
She tells some of the stories of
what happens after.
Why is it we're not seeing all these happy, happy children that have transitioned?
Why are we seeing their wonderful stories of their transition?
Well, she's asked for the stories.
She's going to tell a few of them coming up in just a second.
Stand by.
If I were to ask you how many babies you think were aborted in 2023 alone, what would your answer be?
If you guessed more than a million, you'd be right.
You vote.
Women are saying now, political women are saying now, that we just don't have access to get an abortion when we want an abortion.
Really?
Because over a million, those are the the highest numbers since 2012.
Why do you think that is?
Shout your abortion.
And also, you can now...
Your home's bathroom for young girls is now the abortion clinic, and
she has to go visit the scene of the crime over and over and over again every day.
That's good for her mental health after she
has an abortion from a birth control pill.
This is horrible.
If you have the means, would you become a part of Pre-Born?
Would you consider saving some babies in a big way?
$28 pays for an ultrasound.
That doubles the chance of a baby's life.
Then beyond that, Pre-Born also pledges to the mom.
They'll be there for the first couple of years with help on clothes and food and counseling and all of the stuff.
that somebody who is really truly alone needs if you're going to have a baby.
Your tax-deductible donation of anything matters.
Your tax-deductible donation of $5,000 would sponsor Pre-Born's entire network for a day.
Helping to rescue 200 babies, donate, dial pound250 right now, say the keyword baby.
That's pound250 keyword baby.

Mary Margaret Olohan
is
no, how do you say it, Sarah
Olohan?
Sorry, Mary Margaret.
Mary Margaret Olihan is with us.
She is from the daily
Signal, and she is the author of D-Trans.
Welcome to the program.
I'm not drunk, I swear to you, Mary.
Good morning, and thanks for having me.
It's so great to be here.
So why don't we hear about all of the transitioners and their happy endings?
We don't hear about them because the ones that go through transition or this attempted transition, right?
Because we know it doesn't actually work many of them are incredibly sad and suffering mentally and physically but they can't really go back to the doctors that did this to them and say hey I regretted this because it's a little bit like going back to an abuser and saying hey I didn't really like that you abused me so can you do something about this or can we talk about this that's just not a normal situation and so what we're finding is you don't even have good statistics on how many people are detransitioning because it's so unlikely that they head back to their doctors and tell them that they're doing it.
So for many of these people, they're kind of just like fading into the background of our culture.
These people who have been really traumatically treated and told that all of these things would make them happy and would improve their lives.
And it was a complete lie.
Tell me about some of the parents.
Tell me about the mom in the last chapter of your book, Abby Martinez.
Yeah, this story is incredibly sad.
And I should say that the rest of the book is about the stories of detransitioners.
So people who tried to transition and then realize this is impossible.
And now they are living happier lives that are focused on,
you know, life after detransition and spreading word about what the realities are.
But the last chapter of my book is about Abby Martinez and her daughter, Yale, because I think it's important that people understand what the alternative is to that happier ending.
Abby is the mother of a young girl, Yaley, who at the age of 19 knelt on the train tracks, put her arms above her head, and watched as the train hurled towards her and smashed her body to bits.
She was so, there were so many pieces of her everywhere that they could barely identify her when they asked her mom to come and make sure it was her.
Just absolutely horrific.
Yaylee, this daughter, When she was in high school, she made friends with a girl at school who identified as a boy.
And the school, and that girl, encouraged Yaley to explore a different gender identity.
The school started socially transitioning her, calling her by a boy name, Andrew, using male pronouns for her, and they weren't telling her mother any of this.
So when Abby, who I spoke with for my book, Abby figured out what was going on and understandably was not on board with it, the school ultimately worked with the state and the state ultimately took Yale away from her family and ultimately put her on hormones and was facilitating her gender transition when she committed suicide.
And I spoke with Abby about this at length.
You know, she was very emotional with me on the phone.
It made me very emotional just to hear the suffering that this mother has gone through.
And she even told me that in the aftermath of Yale's death, these LGBTQ advocates have fundraised off her death to say, look what happened to this poor trans boy.
You should give us money to help trans youth to not commit suicide.
So just imagine that from the mother's perspective too, that they're weaponizing her daughter's death as an example of why you should be facilitating children's gender transitions.
So it's an incredibly sad story, but Abby wants people to know, here's my story, here's my experience, this is how the state took my daughter from me.
Be warned, like this is happening and
it's not casual, it's not just something that our society is growing into or, you know, it's not normal.
This can happen.
And for all those,
for all those people who are shouting about how trans youth are at risk, they are at risk because you're putting them on hormones and putting them through really traumatic surgeries that are going to impact them for the rest of their lives.
I feel so bad for the parents because this is a whole new world
for people.
And, you know, if you trust your doctors and all of the doctors are saying the same thing,
you know, you don't know what to do.
And then you have the pressure of the state taking your child away and you're like, well, that's worse.
I don't know.
When the kids who want to detransition, I mean,
they've destroyed their bodies.
Not them, but the surgeons have destroyed their bodies.
They're most likely not going to have children.
They probably are not going to have have any kind of relations with another
individual because, you know,
it's different, to say the least.
Yes, their bodies are very permanently impacted in many ways.
For example, and thank God we have these lawsuits that have been coming out, the detransitioners suing their medical providers that really give a good glimpse into exactly who did this to them and what the effects are.
Chloe Cole, for example, is one of the most famous detransitioners.
And Chloe's lawsuit describes how she has these weird aches and pains in her back now because
her bone density changed.
And, you know, as a girl, her body wasn't prepared for the testosterone to change her bone density and her muscle structure.
And, you know, all these young people are worried that have been on hormones that is affecting their fertility, their ability to experience sexual pleasure, just so many different aspects of how it's affecting their lives going forward.
And I do think it's important, like you were saying, to point to the parents and all of this.
I think they get a lot of, modern parents are really in a tight spot with the
social acceptance of smartphones and iPhones and the push of activism on their kids.
But your average secular family that's not really practicing a religion and it's just kind of going with the flow, when you encounter gender ideology, it's taught to you as a kind of religion.
You know, you're taught that it's a good thing.
You're taught that you're loving and affirming.
And so when your child is saying, I want to get a double mastectomy, and you're thinking, my gut's telling me that's insane and my child's breast should not be removed.
But the doctors are saying, would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?
That's a crossroads.
And that's very scary.
And most parents love their kids.
And so when they're presented with these
huge dilemmas, I don't blame blame them for being confused.
And the ones who go with their gut, thank God, but the ones who don't, they have to suffer and they have to live with those consequences and watch their kids grow and experience intense suffering, both mentally and physically.
Do we have any idea, any stats on how many
regret this move after?
We have some.
Lisa Littman is a researcher who has done some amazing amazing work on this.
She found that only 24%
of
the group of detransitioners who have decided that they detransitioned or ended this transition process, only 24% of them actually went back to their doctors and said, I regretted this and I'm all done.
So that's a very, very low number of people who are going back to their doctors.
So official statistics aren't really going to reflect the numbers
because they're only reflecting the people who come back.
And so in the middle of the year.
You would think this would be an important thing that
researchers would want to know.
In any other case, you would be going back and following up with those patients.
across the board.
No matter whose doctor it was, you would go across the board to everybody who has had that procedure done, no matter what it was, and ask them a year later and five years later this is something brand new why is no one interested in finding this out
yeah exactly and Glenn that's something that I think about all the time there are no doctors who are willing to help the detransitioners with their medical complications as they're detransitioning and just from a purely like attention-seeking mercenary standpoint why isn't anyone willing to kind of stick their neck out here?
Like you would think that there should be doctors who are brave enough to say, I want to be the one that's the expert in this field.
I want to be the one, the doctor that helps detransitioners.
Even if you're doing it from an attention-seeking standpoint, it seems like there's a really easy gap to fill here.
But where are our medical
professionals who genuinely care about these kids?
And not just kids, adults too.
They're trapped by the kids.
The medical professionals, yeah, who could look at this situation and say, well, we've been replacing science with gender ideology and people are suffering the consequences of it.
We need medical professionals who are willing to stand up and say, I can help you after you've been treated so badly by our medical system.
But it just seems like there really isn't anyone doing that right now.
They're going to lose their license.
If they do that, they'll lose their license.
Right.
And I think that's something very scary that I encountered as I was interviewing these detransitioners.
One girl, Helena, told me when she got testosterone, she got it from Planned Parenthood, of course, very easy process.
She got it the same afternoon.
She went in and filled out the form.
She started taking it.
Yeah.
I can't even get it.
I'm a guy, and I can't even get it on the same day I'd walk into a doctor's office.
Maybe you should try it Planned Parenthood.
Yeah, maybe.
And so she gets on, starts taking testosterone.
It's really impacting her mentally and physically, and it gets to the point where it's compounding her mental health problems.
And she just, she can't handle it.
And she's suffering so much.
And so she checks herself into a hospital in Chicago, asking them, help me.
I am falling apart.
And these doctors at the hospital, instead of saying, okay, like, let's look at her biology.
She's a girl.
She's taking this.
It's probably hurting her.
They ask her what her gender was.
She tells them she's a guy.
And so in all of her medical forms, they call her a guy and they treat her as a guy.
And then they medically pretend she's a guy who's coming in with no other medicine in her that needs help for mental health issues.
So they completely ignored the fact that she actually was taking testosterone and that was the source of her troubles and pretended she was just a guy that needed help with mental health issues.
So that just blew my mind because it's a very simple, you know, beginning trajectory transition incident, but she couldn't even get basic care from the hospital in this one situation.
And so obviously her mental health struggles compounded because now they got her on all this medication.
And she ultimately decided to get off testosterone because it was hurting her so much.
And she figured out what the doctors apparently couldn't, that it was a source of many of her problems.
But just that story, I think, is a really good example of how our medical professionals are just completely caving on this gender ideology and how little interest they seem to have in facts and science anymore.
And it does make you wonder, Glenn, whether this is complete cowardice or whether we're just filling our medical industry with less and less intelligent people?
We're repeating the mistakes we made in the 1930s with progressives and
people, doctors who just think that they're God.
Mary Margaret, thank you so much.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
You bet.
That's Mary Margaret Olihan and she is the author of D-Trans.

It is terrifying.
You will watch tonight and go, how is that doctor not in jail?
Tonight, 9 o'clock, only on Blaze TV.
Things might be about to get much worse in Israel before they get to be any better.
Not only have the attacks increased from both Hamas and Hezbollah since October 7th, but they understandably understandably have rejected the joke of a ceasefire proposal coming from Hamas and are planning on continuing the fight.

Some of the stories that you will not hear tonight in the leaked WPATH files, there is a discussion that takes place about how to rush through a 79-year-old man who wants to have a vagina.
Maybe you've never heard of this surgery, which is we have a chalkboard full of definitions for you tonight on tonight's show.
But vinyl
vagina plasty is a surgery done for men who want to appear to have a vagina.
And by WPATH, that's the world's
leader in transgender health.
Their own published standards, by their own published standards, the 79-year-old man cannot have that surgery until he has lived as a woman for a full year.
Seems reasonable.
You know, but WPATH members didn't think so.
One member posted an asking if the next version of the so-called standards of care that WPATH produces would soften the 12-month live gender requirement at the age of 79.
I mean, time is of the essence.
That's when WPATH members said the quiet part out loud.
The standards are, let's just say, flexible.
Some would say there's no standards at all.
One member said, I interpret the 12-month live gender requirement in a much looser way.
Another said, standards of care are meant to be flexible guidelines.
Well, if they're flexible guidelines, why call them standards?
To trick us into thinking that it's legitimate, that's why, a trick they've pulled off until now.
Oh, and do you remember the gender activist telling us that a potential side effect of the treatments they're pushing is a flesh-eating bacteria?
Nah, you didn't hear that?
One member posted a trans male, that's a woman,
in her early 60s had successful chest surgery about seven weeks ago.
Three weeks ago, post-op, he, in other words, she, suddenly developed a rash that began at the surgical site and then quickly spread up and out under the arms, the compression vest, yada, yada, went to urgent care.
And the cheery commenter said that,
you know,
that's just part of it.
Everything is possible following medications and surgery, including
flesh-eating bacteria, but it's for the benefit of the patients.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.
Stu,
what is the fastest or easiest thing
to stop global warming?
Guaranteed to stop it.
The international global
Google nest that they have somewhere.
No.
No?
No.
That's not a thing.
No.
Well, yes, it probably is okay.
How about the just, you know, no more SUVs, no more coal power?
No.
No.
No.
No.
What do we do?
The actual thing,
the real answer.
It would change everything overnight.
They say it would change everything.
I mean, nuclear power would be a, would be a good deal.
Reduce the population of humans.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
Okay.
That's all you have to do.
And, you know, I mean, there's several ways you can do that.
War.
would be one.
Starvation and disease could be another one.
Another one could be, you know, introduce new health products that aren't necessarily the best for humans.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I guess I see where we're going here.
All right.
Or you could, I mean, what's why does, why is
Bill Gates so in love with Planned Parenthood?
I mean, he's talked about he, you know, reducing the population, not necessarily and killing existing people, but reducing the increase of birth and therefore slowing global warming.
So let me just point out something.
We have Michael Schellenberger on with us in about 20 minutes.
This past March, Michael Schellenberger's organization, Environmental Progress, leaked some of the most important files that you've probably never heard of.
They're called the WPATH files.
WPATH is the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
I've never heard of them.
Have you ever heard of them?
Yeah, that's kind of a problem, isn't it?
Because they're the ones setting the standards for compassionate transgender medical care.
Their name makes them sound reputable and scientific, but they're actually just a terrifying mix of surgeons, therapists, and activists working together to create standards of care that are neither standards nor about care.
WPATH, the files,
are a collection of internal messages between this grab bag bag of gender ideologues that were leaked.
Environmental progress made all of the files publicly available and asked for other news outlets to dig into them.
Very few outlets did.
We did.
And what we found was shocking.
And I have to tell you, and I mean this sincerely,
this is the first thing that I think I have ever been involved with with the researchers where the researchers have had to say say a few times,
I can't do this.
This show has been delayed by a few weeks because they've been like,
I have to stop reading this.
I can't take this.
It was honestly shell shock.
What you're going to see tonight is the truth.
And
I truly believe these doctors are the same, are cut from the same cloth as the Nazi doctors.
Same.
And in 1933, wouldn't it have been nice if somebody would have exposed those Nazi doctors?
But my guess is most of Germany would have turned their face away from it and said, I don't want to think about it.
That's not my doctor.
I don't want to think about it.
This is everywhere in our medical position, our medical professionals now.
Now, the president of WPATH is Marcy Bowers.
And when I say Marcy,
I mean Marcy.
I'm Marcy Bowers.
All right.
She admitted, again, I'm not going to say that.
He admitted in the files that despite all the claims that WPATH and the treatments they advocate for is evidence-based, there is no research on whether or not puberty blockers, one of the treatments that is go, you know, the go-to for gender care, will wreck a kid's fertility.
Now, why did I start this break with what's the fastest way to stop global warming, reduce the surplus population?
And that can be killing people or just
planned parenthood, stopping people from being able to reproduce.
Listen to this.
Here's what Marcy
said.
The fertility question has no research that I'm aware of.
Wait, what?
The fertility question has no research that I'm aware of, as puberty onset allows for fertility options, while blockers preclude those opportunities.
Preclude fertility opportunities.
Is that a fancy way of just saying what the eugenics used to call sterilization?
I'm unaware of an individual claiming the ability to orgasm when they were blocked at Tanner 2.
Now I had to look up what Tanner 2 is.
What's Tanner stage 2?
That's what we call the ages 8 to 15.
What
the lovely Marcy
just said
was that he is unaware of an individual claiming the ability
to orgasm
once they've started the hormone treatment between the ages of 8 and 15.
Okay?
Sterilization, gang.
According to WPATH standards, the right age to start kids on puberty blockers, which I'll tell you all about in the special tonight.
In that message, Marcy admitted that if they put kids on blockers at the age WPATH recommends, the kids will probably never be able to reproduce.
Now, of course, Marcy has no idea, as he admits,
puberty blockade is in its infancy, and we don't fully understand the orgasmic response and the blockers that make this a major question.
You don't fully understand it, Marcy?
Really?
WPATH is full of these major questions, like are we sterilizing kids forever?
But yet they have a reputation of being evidence-based, and their standards are globally respected now.
With your help, we're going to put an end to all of that.
It is time to expose WPATH for the sham organization, for the Nazi doctors that they are creating.
But we're going to need your help.
We have a very special call to action after the show tonight.
We're making a summarized version of all of our research available to you on our platform, Glennbeck.com.

Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Let me tell you about Marine Corps Sergeant Adam Mayo.
Sergeant Mayo served his country for over seven years until the day he was critically injured during a training exercise, which left him paralyzed from the chest down.
The Tunnel to Towers Foundation
got into action immediately.
They stepped forward.
Their passion for this nation's heroes, it never falters, it never fails.
They not only paid off his home's mortgage, but they also gave his family a state-of-the-art smart home that was designed specifically around the things that he needs to live a more active and mobile life.
This isn't anything new for Tunnel to Towers.
It's pretty much what they do every single day.
And a lot of other things that help our country's service members and first responders, like the 30,000 service members that are now living on the streets.
We're putting illegals in hotels and leaving our service members on the streets.
Join in Tunnel to Towers Foundation's critical daily mission to do good and never forget 9-11 or the sacrifices of this country's real heroes.
More than 95 cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel to Towers goes directly to the people you're trying to send it to.
That's an outrageously high number and puts them in AAA plus.
Donate $11 a month to Tunnel to Towers at t2t.org.

The Glenn Beck program
will be right back.
Let me paint a little scenario for you.
You are the type of person who goes to, you know, it's 7-Eleven, you want to get some beer, you're like, I'm skipping the Bud Light.
I don't like what they're doing.
You have your kids and they want to watch a Disney movie.
You're like, no, no, I don't like what they're doing.
I don't like what they're teaching kids.
And you're taking a few bucks out of the pockets of these corporations.
You're making a stand.
But what about your retirement?
Do you have maybe a couple of hundred thousand dollars who you're looking to retire?
You have that invested.
You have a wealth manager who's trying to help you make the best of your retirement.
If that's you, have you thought about the same approach that you're taking with Bud Light when you're talking about the big chunks of money you're investing?
Because that money can be going to these same types of companies.
And like, while I'm sure they would love to have your money for the six-pack, they would much rather have the money that you're talking about when you're talking about your retirement.
Constitutional wealth can help you solve this problem.
You want to be consistent in your life and your principles, and also have a good retirement, get big returns, still make the money that you need to retire, but avoid ESG and DEI and all that stuff that's going on with some of these companies.

You know, one of the amazing things that you're going to find tonight is,
have you ever fought with your insurance company?
Ever fought with your insurance company over Sam?
I get back injections,
steroid injections in my back.
That's how you're so buff and
shape.
Yeah, it's all that steroids, right?
Anyway, I get steroid injection in my back, and it helps me, but it usually takes three sessions.
Well, you want to do the three sessions pretty close together.
Well, I can only get one every six months.
So it doesn't really work
because you can only get one.
So I end up paying for the other two because they won't pay for them.
Okay, fine.
How many times have you ever fought your insurance company to get the basic stuff?
My child needs this medication.
Nope, can't do it.
Do you know when it comes to transitioning
100% coverage?
You know, you don't have to.
I bet there's not a question.
There's not a questionnaire.
Why?
Why?
Because you have to take this medication for the rest of
your life.
We think that's why.
That might be part of it.
My why would be a little bit more politically motivated than your why, I think.
Oh, yes, I do.
That's why I agree.
An insurance company has to pay for this medication.
Why would they want the medication that you have to take for the rest of your life?
You think that would be something that they would not want to cover.
Are they going to cover it for the rest of their life when it becomes unpopular?
Oh, I think they're going to keep covering it because
they are in support of it.
I have have to tell you, I don't know, maybe I'm
so down on
Western medicine and everything else now.
There is a place for Western medicine.
There's a place for Eastern medicine.
But I don't think Western medicine, I don't know when this jumped the rails, and it may have been 100 years ago around, whoa, what a surprise, the Wilson era.
But
it is really about money and pharmaceuticals more than
can we get this person healthy I know this is some we always just have a really fascinating I think disagreement on this I am not there at all on Western medicine I'm fascinated by it I think it doesn't matter I'm there on Western medicine I'm there on Western food oh totally disagree Taco Bell is the greatest place on earth I mean look at the incredible things they're doing
I agree with you as far as crunch wrap supreme I want some Taco Bell yeah I agree with you okay you know it doesn't stay in my system very long anyway Right.
You agree with me for a few hours?
Just eat it in the bathroom.
But I mean, I look,
there are a lot of people who probably more in our audience that would agree with you on that stuff, I think, than me.
But like, it's a fascinating thing where
the problem that
really gets into
everybody's business is when they start the media starts putting this stuff and the government starts putting this stuff into, well, you can do this.
Detransitioning.
I totally disagree with that.
And I think there's a real reason to be skeptical of that movement.
I think you're saying.
Detransitioning?
Of course, transitioning.
They say D.
I'm sorry.
I had the author's book in my hand.
That's all right.
But like, what you're talking about today, I think Western medicine is seeing this as being wrong and are reversing themselves in front of our eyes.
They are in every other country but here.
But here.
But every
other country but America.
I do think it's
Coming here.
I do think it's coming.
I think we will be here.
You mean there might be a reckoning?
I think there might be, I don't know, a reckoning, which would be an incredible promo code if you happen to have a product that you were.
We happen to have one.
Blazetv.com slash Glenn.
Should you try that promo code?
If you tried it, I bet you'd save 30 bucks.
Wow.
That's incredible.
But it is a really important thing.
Because
what you describe there with what you're talking about tonight in a really important special is not what I consider Western medicine at all.
I don't think it has anything to do with Western.
This is politics invading medicine.
It's derailing medicine.
It's destroying money and politics.
It is, it's big money being able to get in bed through
all kinds of
lobbying and everything else.
The government and the government getting into bed with big pharmaceutical, that's the problem.
That's the real problem.
You should stand on your own.
Yeah.
Make your own decisions.
You know, control your own health.
That's a great, you know, it's a great way to do it.
It's just that, and you can dabble in as much Western medicine you'd like to get there, but this isn't medicine.
The medicine, the studies you'll talk about tonight show the exact opposite of what they're doing.
It's something, I don't know what it is, but I don't think I wouldn't call it Western medicine.
It is politics invading it, and I think that's terrible.
Yeah.
Well, what I'm going to show you tonight is not medicine.
What I was talking about, though was pharmaceuticals and uh and also more importantly the insurance companies why are the insurance companies greenlighting everything when you can't get a toothbrush the glenn beck program all right let me tell you about uh jace medical uh jace medical in case you need medicine uh and you can't get it why
it's america of course you can get the medicine really really because we're starting to have real problems uh with medicines there's already shortages um in medicines and critical antibiotics.
That's why Jace Medical exists.
They started making a personalized emergency kit.
It contains five of the most essential antibiotics that really kill most of the deadly bacterial infections.
And Jace is continually working to expand their medication offerings.
They've even added ivermectin as an option in the Jace case.
Plus, you can buy a gift card for your family or loved ones so they can get a Jace case of their own and personalize it to their needs.
You can have up to a year's worth of your own medication for your whole family at your home.

Welcome to the fusion

and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, there's a couple of things going on you should know.
Donald Trump just won another delay, this time in his Georgia case.
Too many things falling apart on that one for him.
And also yesterday he won
a delay.
And it could be the end of that case, of the documents in Florida.
We'll see what happens, but things are going well for Donald Trump this week.
However, for America with our doctors, I have said for, I don't even know how long,
2007, 2008,
Satan does not destroy, he perverts.
He uses the tools and turns it against itself
and uses it for evil purposes, for bad purposes.
Thus, we're not going to be destroyed.
We will be perverted.
And I've said this for a very long time.
If this country is perverted with our technology,
we will make the Nazis look like rookies.
And I think we're on that path when it comes to medicine right now.
There is something that most people have never heard of.
It's WPATH.
If you don't know what it is, don't feel like you're alone.
It's the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
A good friend of the program and a guy I so admire, Michael Schellenberger,
he exposed this on his sub stack and dumped all of the files and said, please, media outlets, go through this and do stories on this.
My staff, we took that charge to heart and we have, and we're doing a large special on this tonight, that again,
you will you will see the path to Nazis.
You will see the path to
all of the horrible things that the early progressives wanted to do in the first place, what they were doing in Germany in 1925.
Horrible, horrible things, all in the name of progress.
And this isn't progress.
This isn't ethical.
This should not be legal, what's happening and transitioning our children and others.

Michael Schellenberger, author of San Francisco
and the founder of Public on Substack.
and somebody who will be remembered in history as somebody who was a friend of freedom and the Republic.
Michael Schellenberger, welcome to the program.
Hey, thanks for having me, Glenn.
You bet.
Thank you so much for taking some time.
You are the guy who first dumped this out to the world, and it seems like the media just yawned at it.
Tell me what WPATH is and why it's so critical people
understand it.
Sure.
So WPATH is an acronym that stands for World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
And it is important because it's the organization that all of the big medical organizations, including the American Medical Association, the AMA, the American Psychiatric Association, the APA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, all of these guys rely on this group to decide how to treat kids that think they're the opposite sex or have what's called gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria, confusion about their sex.
And what we were we were given a set of the internal discussion files by this organization, and it was sh it's shocking.
And we spent about eight months
really writing the very serious report.
I think it's about 140 pages entirely of both internal documents, about 70 pages of those are the internal files from this group.
And then we have a report that explains all of it because you're dealing with supposedly medical issues.
But look, what can I say?
This is one of the biggest medical scandals in human history.
That's a strong claim, but I think anybody who reads them will agree that this is the case.
We're talking about stopping the normal development of children through puberty, which means these children end up sterilized in many cases.
They end up not able to have full sexual function, which is obviously a very important thing and very important to people being happy and living full romantic lives.
And then what we discovered is that these are things, you know, occurring with kids as young as 10 years old.
There's
kids that are 13 year olds with developmental disorders.
We see homeless people with schizophrenia discussed as getting
genital surgery.
It's just shocking to say.
And we see that neither the children nor the parents understand what's going to happen to them, meaning they do not understand that they are likely to be sterilized and to lose sexual function.
They have no conception of it.
And so everybody's heard of do no harm.
That's the Hippocratic oath.
People need to know that there's another part of that, which is called informed consent.
That's a technical
phrase, informed consent, but that's the law.
You're not allowed to experiment on people who do not understand what you're doing to them.
And yet that is precisely what is happening in the United States of America right now thanks to the complicity.
And you've never heard of WPATH, but you've heard of AMA, you've heard of the American Academy of Pediatrics, you've heard of the American Psychiatric Suite.
These organizations have blood on their hands.
And they're going to be held accountable.
There are lawsuits.
But these things are ongoing, Glenn, and it's truly a national scandal.
It's something that really that should shock the conscience of our country.
Michael, I I look at this and I think this is the Tuskegee experiment.
This is the horrible progressive sterilization eugenics program.
This is every horrible medical thing our country has ever done, and then we're shamed by it and we don't talk about it.
It's happening right now.
Would you agree with that?
100%.
It's completely shocking.
And yes, it's definitely up there with the history of sterilizing poor people,
non-racial minorities.
It's up there with the Tuskegee experiments on black Americans.
It's up there with the opioid crisis,
except for
in some ways it's worse.
But I think in some ways it's worse than all of those, which has led some people to say that it is the worst medical scandal in human history.
You know, the United States, the news media should be ashamed of themselves.
They are, if I were to kind of say who's to blame, you'd say doctors,
you know, the news media, the mainstream news media,
you know, Hollywood for promoting this.
You know, but I would say, you know, it's, it's, this is the thing that should give people hope that things, there things are changing in Europe.
And so we actually did have the British media, the Times of London, the Telegraph of London, the Daily Mail, The Guardian.
The Guardian published its sister newspaper, The Observer, but they're both very left-wing magazines, and The Economist, which everybody knows of.
So, you know, they all have now written about this, but they've put American media to shame.
And so, truly,
this has to stop.
Children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults should not
puberty has to be viewed as a human right.
It's shocking that it must be said, but puberty is a human right.
You must not deprive that of any child.
Michael,
there's a couple of things that I can't figure out.
First of all, why, you know, you'll have a hard time getting your insurance company to cover something that you're like, my child needs this medication, and they won't do it.
And yet with this,
The medical insurance companies, everybody is just, oh, go, go, go, go.
Not a problem.
Greenlight immediately.
They're known to ask for anything, and they'll greenlight it.
The second thing is,
why are we ignoring this?
Why, in America, are we just staying the course?
I think it's these institutions.
They've betrayed their mission and their purpose.
These medical associations, their mission is the Hippocratic Oath, to do no harm and to get informed consent as part of that.
So they betrayed their mission.
The news media have betrayed their mission.
They're now spreading propaganda and ignorance.
So when you talk, when I talk to my very progressive family and friends, they don't believe this is happening.
They literally didn't, when I tell them, they deny that.
They suggest that I'm making it up.
I mean, they did, I should say.
Now that report's out, I think people are having a second look.
So what you've seen,
we are in the midst of a, you know, this is the name of my next book, Glenn, pathocracy.
We are dealing with pathocratic institutions, meaning sick institutions, run by, in many cases, deranged people, cowards, psychopaths and narcissists.
So that's what's they've taken over the critical institutions of society.
That's the only way that you could get these grotesque medical mistreatment and experimentation on children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults.
It's the only way it could have occurred.
Michael, thank you so much for everything that you do.
I know that you're busy writing and doing reporting every day and you're spending a lot of time up at Capitol Hill.
Do you see any
chance
in Washington of anything changing?
Definitely not in Washington.
I mean, I think that
there's changes coming.
I think that's clear from the polling data.
And not just in the United States, but around the world.
You know, the the governments of the world right now are really cracking down on free speech.
I'm under criminal investigation in Europe, I'm sorry, in Brazil for publishing entirely legal and accurate things.
The European governments are weapon the European politicians are weaponizing their intelligence agencies to spread disinformation about their political enemies.
So I would say that we're in a very very dangerous moment because we're in between two different, I think,
systems or governments.
And so we're seeing the the the discredited regime
start to weaponize the government and we've seen them weaponizing the government institutions in order to maintain political power and persecute its enemies, including imprisoning them in places like Brazil, including seeking to shut down and censor the entire global internet from Australia and New Zealand and other, frankly, irrelevant countries at a global level.
And the United States, you know, it's the U.S.
intelligence community that controls the Australian intelligence community, not the other way around.
So the continued weaponization of our intelligence community, I mean, these are, there needs to be a significant change from the top of every nation to get control.
And I say this as a lifelong liberal and as somebody that just from the straight, if you want a liberal democracy rather than a totalitarian system, we have got to get control of our intelligence and security agencies, which are abusing their powers in ways that we haven't seen since the spying on Martin Luther King, you know, since the rogue assassination efforts.
since the I mean, this is, we're at a level of totalitarian, you know, we're on the on the cusp of a totalitarian system when it comes to free speech.
So I think we're in a very dangerous moment, and hopefully there will be some political correction.
I will tell you, as a lifelong conservative, I couldn't be behind you
anymore.
You know, real liberals,
while we may disagree on tax policies or whatever,
we should be agreeing on the Bill of Rights.
And those things are almost completely gone.
And if we lose that,
we're not a safe country anymore.
Thank you so much, Michael.
I appreciate it.
Oh, he's gone.
We've lost him.
We've lost him.
All right.

You know, we were talking to Michael, and it's incredible to me, and you'll see it tonight.
They are doing literal medical experiments
on people who have mental disorders.
I mean, this is Nazi stuff.
They're sterilizing people.
who are
developmentally slow.
Isn't that how it started in Germany?
I think it did.
Isn't that what the early American progressive was trying to do in the first place?
Sterilize the undesirables?
My gosh, this is so anti-human, so
just so evil.
It's just so evil.
And it has our AMA and the American psychiatric community in its grips.
And it's so fascinating how quickly it happened.
We were talking about this the other day: that in 2012, Joe Biden blurts out,
hey,
Barack Obama is actually for gay marriage.
We're going to be coming out and saying we're for gay marriage.
He hadn't even talked, admitted that he was for gay marriage in 2012.
A decade later, we've gone through the entire gay marriage thing, which is not even a conversation.
Republicans won't even bring it up anymore.
And now we're at the point where it's you get canceled if you can't say that
just by words you can change your gender.
Yeah.
Like, it is incredible.
Here, try this.
They're doing this to children.
Doctors say now they have no problem getting insurance to cover any procedure they want to do on this.
There's a new
surgery called gender nullification surgery.
They describe this surgery in bizarre and horrifying detail in the files, but I'll spare you that and just say the best way to explain it is a surgery that provides a genital Kendall effect.
Okay, gender nullification.
A surgeon from San Francisco, who you're going to hear about tonight on the special, brags that he has, quote, been able to consistently get insurance coverage for many of our patients to make them smooth as a Kendall.
What the hell is that?
What is that?
First, do no harm.
Another surgeon added that he lets his patients customize their scar patterns and hasn't had a problem getting insurance coverage so far.
I made an effort not to use the diagnosis when sending information to insurance companies, and so far, I haven't been contacted or asked for a diagnosis.
Instead, my letter reads: X meets the recommended World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care guidelines for the type of surgery he is pursuing.
So no one is looking at WPATH.
No, they're all using WPATH care and standards as the reason to give money, as a reason to do this.
Everybody's doing that.
But I'm telling you, it's run by a guy named Marcy who wears a dress.
Okay?
And it is, as he said,
We're, the whole country seems to be run by psychopaths.
You're going to see it all tonight.
We made a summary of all the research our team did for tonight's special.
It's available at Glenbeck.com.
Go to Glennbeck.com, click on the reckoning, gender-affirming care, pinned at the top of the homepage.
Enter your email to get the PDF of our research sent to you.
But also, right at the beginning of that document, this is the important part, is a form letter.
We're asking you to send it to organizations like the American Psychological Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, asking them to renounce WPATH and reject their so-called standards.
If we don't stand up, this is going to get worse.
And anything that starts out with this rotted fruit,
this tree is so dark and dangerous.
If this is the fruit of the tree, on the first harvest,
what do you think it will be on the next harvest?
It's got to be stopped.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
I got a letter in.
Glenn, I'm writing about a friend of mine, Marilyn,
but everybody calls her Susie.
I have questions on that right off the bat.
I have questions.
Is she in the witness protection program and let it slip or what?
Anyway, I help her with basic household duties.
She's able to remain living in her home.
She lives alone, has for 30 years after her husband died, and has a little distant family, just a few remaining that are still living.
Every time I come to visit her, she has the Glenn Beck program on.
She loves history, loves your program, listens every day.
On May 9th, she will be 95 years old.
I would so love it if you could make her day special in some way, a card or a note, maybe.
It would sure surprise her.
Nope, not going to do it.
No,
let me have fun into the story.
Nope, we're moving on.
No, can we get her on the phone?
I thought I would call her instead.
Oh,
how are you?
Marilyn,
I'm doing fine.
You're doing fine.
What are you doing for your birthday today?
Well, I'm talking with my
brother-in-law.
Really?
He's here to visit me.
Yeah, that's what you're going to do for your birthday.
Well, I'm going to enjoy myself.
Yeah, good.
And
I'll be listening to you, of course.
Thank you.
And I'll be dealing with friendships and
just having an all-over good day.
Yeah, good for you.
Susie, what year were you bor were you born, if you don't mind me asking?
I was born in 2929.
During the Depression.
What is the earliest memory you have of
something that was going on in America?
Well, everybody was poor.
They lost their money
and
had to go
a few years
with less
money.
And
it took a long time.
And
when the war broke out,
started
seeing
pickup in people getting more money.
Yeah.
So
Susie, how do you how do you how do you when you're looking at things that you've gone through and now that you know we're here at this point in our country
you have any thoughts about how we're how we're doing at this point in our history
well I think it's like a bad movie
and
they just won't let you out so war.
Yeah.
And
nobody knows just how it's going to end.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well,
can I ask you why your name is Marilyn, but everybody calls you Susie?
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
I'm asking you, why does everybody call you Susie?
I don't know.
I think that my brother started it.
Really?
And
all the others just
climbed in with it.
But anyway,
it suck, and I'm still stuck with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's exactly the thing, same thing with Stu, who his real name is Steve.
But when I first met him, somebody was very drunk, and I wasn't really listening when they introduced him.
And I thought his name was Stu.
And so I just calling him Stu.
And now even his wife calls him Stu, but that's not his name.
Very true.
So
you have a lot in common, Susie.
Okay.
I think everybody has a nickname, and
they're stuck with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, thank you so much, Susie.
Thank you.
Thank you for talking to me today, and happy birthday.
Okay, I'll keep listening.
All right.
God bless you.
Thank you.
Okay, sounds good.
Bye-bye.
You know what's amazing is I can guarantee, I should have asked her this.
Is she still 20 in her mind?
I will guarantee you she would have said yes.
As people get older, their mind doesn't change.
Their body does.
The way they process things does.
But in their mind, they're the same age.
I think you hit about 20 and you just, that's who you are.
you know
and uh you know you can grow from there i i've been i started reading Marcus Aurelius'
meditations.
Have you ever read that?
I don't know.
I just read a book about Marcus Aurelius and his philosophy, but it was more covering what was in the book rather than the actual.
Yeah, so this is written obviously by him.
And
it starts out,
these are the people that have made an impact in my life.
From my mother, I got this and this and this.
From my father, this and this and this.
My brother.
Then there's this guy and that guy.
And he goes on.
There's like 17 of them and i'm listening to it and i'm thinking i i don't
i i don't i don't think i know 17 people uh i don't think i have 17 friends right right right and uh they were all uh they they were all this amazing people this person taught me how to be uh more giving and kind and generous and this person was a great example because they never got angry and never tried to get even and they were never puffed up all these great things.
And I'm like,
my friends, I don't think would be able to say those things about me.
You know, I don't know who I
you know, I like, well,
Bob
taught me not to mix, you know,
alcohols when you're drinking.
Don't don't drink vodka and then whiskey and then wine.
You'll regret it.
I mean,
that's the kind of stuff I think I have.
Right.
And I think my friends would say that about me.
Have you really not had that?
I feel like I do have those examples that are in my head.
Certain ways that people react to certain situations that I've noticed over the years influence the way that I handle situations today.
I mean, the stories are too
circuitous to get into,
but I do have those.
I guess.
Yes, I do.
You just have to think.
Maybe, you know, maybe.
He's writing a book.
Maybe he just didn't.
Maybe he just
sit down and like, ah, let's see.
But yeah, because I was thinking about you and what I've learned from you.
Oh, God, that's that's a short book.
I only need a couple of sentences, really.
That's all Marcus was going for, was just a couple.
Okay, you know, and still nothing, nothing popping them.
No, you know what I like?
That you are so even-tempered that you never jump on a bandwagon one way or the other.
You are
even-tempered, rational, well-read,
and
loyal
and
extraordinarily, almost to a creepy point of private.
That's just right.
Am I right, Sarah?
Yeah.
You just give everything away.
He just doesn't talk about it.
I'm just not insane.
I don't go on YouTube and talk about my hemorrhoid surgery.
I'm sorry.
I didn't go on YouTube.
I went on ABC News.
Well, you went on YouTube first, and then they brought you on ABC News to talk about your hemorrhoid surgery.
Yes.
I mean, you might be a bit of an outlier in this particular thing.
Yeah, I don't know.
No, come on.
Sarah, he's an outlier.
I'm an outlier, and he's an outlier.
We're the exact opposite.
I would agree with that.
I don't think, well, whatever.
But when you just describe things you know about me, that's not necessarily.
Well, those are things you taught me and that I admire in you.
To be extremely private.
Well, not that one.
Okay.
No, but I think that there is something for me to learn from that.
Yeah.
I've learned a ton of stuff from you and I've, you know, used it many, many times.
I mean, you know, the don't make threats, make promises,
which again, as you say, if you've stolen from me, you've stolen twice.
I don't think that was your original.
No, you didn't learn anything original from me.
No,
I don't think we're not.
You know, I am really just like, I am rubber, you are glue.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Except I'm glue.
It just, you say it, and then it sticks to me.
And then I, and then I'm like, hey, I got something smart to say.
Yeah.
You know, right.
Yeah.
That's that's that's what you learned from me.
Yeah, right.
Steal from other people.
I thought for sure, by the way, we were coming to the end of that list and something terrible was going to be at the end of it.
And I'm shocked you held off.
I appreciate that very much.
No, I was, I was, because I really was thinking today.
I was, I was thinking, what,
because I want to do that list.
I want to see if I can get to 17 that are as profound as what you listen to that list.
It's the opening chapter of Marcus Aurelius'
meditations.
And, you know, I was listening to it today online and
I'm like,
can you come up with seven?
When you listen to them, they are deeply profound.
Yeah.
And that just takes time too.
I mean, obviously meditations being a nice pathway to that.
I was thinking about this as well.
A long time ago, I started, when the kids were born, I started email accounts of their own that they didn't know about.
And I would email them thoughts and things that I was doing throughout the time.
See, this is something that he could have shared that would have maybe been good.
I am.
I am on national radio sharing it crap.
After my kids are out, after my kids have been told that they're not.
He's stronger than my kids.
But, you know, and I started.
Excuse me.
I started doing one of these things where I would.
Were you just thinking about me naked there for a second?
Yeah, you know, I was.
I started doing this thing where I was doing fatherly advice.
And like, when I came up with things that I thought were profound and interesting, I would send them.
And I didn't do it enough to, to, they're probably going to get up, be all screwed up because the advice is probably all over the board.
But I did think that that would be an interesting thing to go through and do just for your kids.
You know what I mean?
Like, come up with it.
Here are the lessons I learned from important people in my life.
So I want you to know about this.
I thought, honestly, that's, I, that I'm going to do this.
I'm going to do this.
See if I can come up with at least 17.
Yeah.
Okay.
Really profound stuff that people, the people, and then tell those people the impact that they had on me.
That would be a really great thing.
And then share that with my kids.
And, and, like all of my other books, they won't read that either.
So,
uh,
nothing will change.
It's so, it's so true and so sad.
Your kids just won't care.
No, your kids just don't care.
You go someplace else, and the kids are like, You hear Billy's dad?
Now, Billy's dad had some great advice.
You, nothing, nothing.
Billy's dad said,
you know, make sure that the pop-top of your soda can was fully inside the can.
I mean, what do you
that was, that's the lesson you get.
It's true.
Although, eventually you get to that point in your life where you want to know those things.
And it'd be nice to have them on a piece of paper or something that someone can actually look at them.
You know, my dad passed away 2014.
And I remember I talked to my stepmom about it.
Like, does he have any like writings?
Is there anything like he wrote about his life?
Is there anything like that?
No, no.
He had a lot of New York Giants paraphernalia.
You know, there was a lot of that.
But there's nothing like he, that he had that was like that.
And I wish there was.
I tell you, I have journals.
I have all kinds of stuff.
And I have
hours and hours and hours of me just vomiting stuff on the air.
I mean, and no, I don't think anyone will ever look at it.
I don't think my kids will ever.
They'll die and they'll be like, dad left so much stuff.
He was such a pack rat.
I don't know.
Give this to Goodwill.
Burn this incriminating evidence.
You know,
I can't imagine them going through it all.
It's,
well, you especially.
It would be impossible.
I mean, it would be impossible to listen to everything he's said or
just written.
Yeah, no, I don't know.
But you'll get AI just like, can you condense this down to like 20 minutes, please?
There's just too much blah, blah, blah in there.
Give me 20 minutes.
Summarize Glenn Beck's thoughts for his entire life in 100 words.
Enter.
That's what I think will happen.
Yeah.
And then, you know,
yeah, you know, I guess he was conservative.
I don't know.
Who knew?
Who knew?
I didn't see him.
I didn't see him.

This is what I did with my hemorrhoids.
Well, I got eye surgery starting tomorrow.
Oh, my gosh.
Glenn's got eye surgery and it's going to be a good idea.
Okay, okay.
Let me ask you this.
We got to go quickly because we're.
So they're taking my face off from like my nose up to my forehead.
They're just like lifting it all up.
Okay, taking it off.
Sounds great.

I do, though.

I want to see it.
I also don't want to see it.
This is a horror movie.
You stop.
It'd be incredible.
And you'd be able to see all the stuff underneath.
And then, you know, just your eyes like cross because you're
out.
You know, I want to see that.
I want to see that.
I don't think they'll give it.
I don't think they'll do it.
And I think they won't do it because they'll be like.
