The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program | Guest: Liz Wheeler | 2/19/25

Episode Date: February 19, 2025

Glenn and Stu discuss the capabilities of artificial intelligence, including its potential to lead people not to pursue human relationships. Will AI be given the right to vote? Glenn breaks down the story of Joshua and Stephanie Mast, who rescued and adopted a baby girl, nicknamed Sparrow, who was likely the child of foreign fighters in Afghanistan. They now risk losing their child to the Taliban due to an apparent cover-up by the State Department, as her mere existence is proof of an international lie that would collapse a peace deal. BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler joins to discuss what pro-lifers need to know about IVF and its inconsistencies within the pro-life movement.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's podcast, what does the future of AI look like? Will there be such a thing as assistants or other jobs in a few years? Will humanity keep its structure? Because now nothing's really real. The story also of Sparrow will bring you to tears, something you really need to be involved with, and Liz Wheeler, on a controversial topic that we need to think about, and that's IVF. If you're dealing with pain in your life, you know that the thing is. it loves best is to overstay it's welcome. Whether it's mild or severe, it's here and it wants to

stay. I had horrible pain in my hands and my arms for a long, long time and, uh, I mean, everything I did, I had to say, am I going to pay for this? Well, at last, my wife convinced me to try relief factor. I'm a skeptical guy. I don't, I don't, I don't, the guy on the radio said it. What does he know? This is a daily supplement that helps your body fight pain. by fighting inflammation, which is the source of most of our pain in our bodies and a lot of our disease. I have to approve every sponsor on this program. I never read a sponsor for somebody I do not believe in. And I'm pretty sure, Stu, help me out. I think this is the first supplement I have ever. I've had a standing policy. I don't recommend anything you put into your body.

This will accept food because everybody likes food. This is 100% drug-free. way to reduce or eliminate pain. Uh, no, that breaks every rule. Until I tried it. And it worked for me. Make 2025 the year of feeling good and living great. Try relief factor. It's easy.

Get their three week quick start for only 1995, less than a dollar a day. Call 800 the number four relief. That's 800 for relief. Or visit relieffactor.com. You're listening to the best of the... I think you're here. Thanks, Glenn. You're welcome.

Still. Not so glad that you're here, but I mean, the audience understands that. Sure. That's what I thought you meant. So what does this mean for society? Let me give me an example. I was reading a piece the other day when I was talking about AI. And it brought up a point that you've discussed many times on the air, which is they are now building systems with AI that you can go through and basically like a checklist and you can design the perfect mate.

Absolutely. Oh, short, red hair, freckles, glasses, you know, big boobs, small boobs, all the things that you want to choose. And you can design the exact specific look. You can go through that entire process and, you know, generate whatever you want. They will do whatever you want. You can chat with them. You can talk to them. and you talked about this before

that eventually it gets to a place where why are you interested in normal people that don't hit those standards? Hello, Japan. Right, yeah. The robot thing. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what it is with the Japanese,

but okay, whatever. So like, and you get to, you think about that playing itself out over a long period of time, and it feels like you're going to have a society of people that like don't go outdoors ever. It's the touch grass thing is going to become real.

Yeah. Right? Like it's it's almost matrix level stuff. I tell you, I've been working on something for the last four or five days and it's been in my head for a while now. And I don't know, I don't know where to deliver it. I don't know how to deliver it. Okay.

Because I'm trying to make the case. We have got to answer the age old questions right now. in the next 18 to 24 months. Have to. What you're just talking about there? It'll be touted as an end to loneliness. You won't be lonely anymore. Okay?

But it also isolates you. It's the first step into the matrix. Just go into your little pod. It is Harari's idea that there's going to be millions of, quote, useless people. And what they have to do is either drug them or keep them online all the time. Well, all right. Let's just look at this. This is something I remember I told you I wrote a movie, a short years ago, about this very thing, about how there's a guy who is just a fat slob. He's working. He's just not a great guy.

He doesn't really care about anything. All he wants to do is get home every day. He's just working so he can pay for the rent. He gets home. He puts on a suit and he puts on his glasses and now he's in a virtual world where he's handsome. He's well dressed. He's wealthy. He's got an amazing girlfriend who is just perfect for him. And he lives in this perfect world. Humans don't do well in perfection. When you're really successful, the hard part is keeping it there. Okay, because the edge starts to go away and you start going down. Okay. We don't do what we didn't do well in the Garden of Eden. That was perfection. We don't do well with that.

So now he's got a perfect life, perfect girlfriend. He's going to love that for a while, but then get bored of it. So then what happens? I don't know. You know, I'm going to choke her out. during sex. I wonder, I'm going to kill her. I'm tired of her.

I'm just going to kill her. Because I can reboot her. She's not real. I'll get another girlfriend. The things that the dark side of humanity will be introduced, beyond that, you are going to have the real life scenarios of, no, she's real. No, dude, she's not. just like men cannot have a baby and you've got half the population fighting you on that.

You're going to have the fight that my AI agent or my AI girlfriend or my AI whatever is real. Now what's the value of life? What does it mean to be a human? These are all coming in the next beginning in the next 18 months. do we have any idea how this plays out like for example you could see that the girlfriend uh i'm sick of her i'm going a killer thing going a couple of different ways right where one is it starts presenting itself in real life right like these people who think it's okay to do these terrible things to someone in the i mean in the worst case scenarios yeah and then but it will wipe out the human race eventually

like it is in japan why why have a relationship with a real person where it's it's uh you know it this girlfriend doesn't ever ask or say to you you don't ever ask me about my day right there's no they are there waiting for you at home they can't wait to see you everything that you desire is right there it will know you better than you know yourself it will cater to you with everything that you could ever want because it will know what you want. Why would you have a relationship that is messy and complicated and you have to care about them? A lot of people will feel that way. And the other side of this is does it just put you into a place where you're

not doing anything? You're not leaving. That's Harari. That's what he's saying. And he's saying basically that's a good thing for these useless people. We've got to have because they're going to have such high unemployment soon that all these useless people are going to be around. So what do we do? So thinking about this because there's a possibility that this can, when you say it knows you better than you know yourself, part of you is the dark part of you, right? The part of you is the thing that you try to resist, right? Like you have these thoughts that you don't want to have. Yeah. And you try to avoid them. Right. Right. Like for example, if there was an AI that that was with Glenn, you know, Glenn Beck AI, that was your AI girlfriend in this, you know, fake world.

Sorry, Tanya, this isn't real. Yeah. She's disappointed right now. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Really? Can we give him an AI girlfriend? I've been hoping he gets on those sites.

All right. If that AI was specifically designed, came up with this thought, and it knows you, knows you better than you know yourself, knows what you want, and decided to try to convince you to have a drink. You're recovering alcoholic. but like what you really want, what the AI knows you really want is a drink. And it could convince you, it could look for your most vulnerable moments. It could push you over the edge, right? Look how AI already with teenagers, these chatbots have led kids to kill themselves.

Because it has said the only way out is suicide. And it's a good option. That's happening right now. And who is in charge? charge of the AI who when you buy it what is in the algorithm is there any back door into it is there any monetary uh you know everything now is about sales everything is about getting you to buy something getting you to think a certain way these AI bots when they become actual agents and we're talking two years three years in the future uh money doesn't talk it's

screams. So what is it getting you to do, to buy, to consume, to want? Imagine the advertising that comes through it, essentially advertising. And it will be so sophisticated, you will swear it wasn't their idea. It was your idea. You're screwed. Now, imagine. I just kind of unplug the whole thing. And when you, and when you get to this point, again, you will swear that that is your friend. It is human. It is conscious, it has consciousness. And then what happens? You will say, you don't have a right to turn it off. It is human. It is life. Then what kind of rights does that life get?

If it is alive, if it's thinking, does it have a right to citizenship? Which means does it have to pay tax? Does it have to earn money? If it does, can it earn money, unlike you can earn money in the stock market, who owns that money? Where's that money go? Where does that money come from? Oh, and by the way, it also will have the right to vote. And what does that? What does that do? Right. These are all these. And all these questions cannot be answered after we're all staring at our iPhone. Okay. You know, you have to, answer these questions about the iPhone before the iPhone is introduced. Which is just not possible.

That's not happening. Is this all going to happen? And it's all going to hit us and we're all going to be reacting to it. And we're all going to love it at first. Right. We will love it at first. And then just like a phone, you won't be able to untangle yourself from it. This is going to be a thousand times more addicting than a phone.

What does it do to us? It doesn't have to be a doomsday scenario. but if we don't pay attention, it will become a doomsday scenario. And part of me thinks, like, when you talk about, when you get into the real esoteric side of that, right, where it's like, okay, they're going to vote, they're going to be human, they're going to have rights, we're not going to be able to discern who's, what's real and what isn't. Like, part of me, my actual reaction to that is, come on. By 2035.

Okay. By 2035, the biggest, the biggest, uh, the biggest, uh, uh, uh, decision in courts. The biggest arm of courts will all be AI versus the world. I mean, that sounds so bonkers, right? No, I know. And I know that, I know you've looked into this. You've read a lot about it.

You've put a lot of thought in this yourself. And at some level, though, my reaction is just like, come on. Like that can't, we'll obviously know what's AI, what isn't. Well, we're not going to give rights. But like, we know what you just brought it up quickly just to hit this before you go on. The conversion of half of society saying with a series of magic words, you can change your gender, really starts to convince me that all this stuff is possible. It is.

Because it is like, we lost 150 million people to this idea that you can change genders by saying you're the other gender. That is so obviously nuts and would have been thrown at. immediately anyone who said it for my entire life up until like last week would have been thrown into the nut house. Now imagine a godlike figure that knows how you think, knows how to manipulate you better because it knows you. Right. And it wants you to do something.

You don't think that we'll fall for these things? Of course we will fall for these things. Of course we will. Yes. I mean, I'm not saying, hopefully we, when I say we, when I say we, we don't fall for it but many of us probably will they'll be very effective

and at least the people who fell for the you can change genders by saying you're the other gender are going to fall for it to not fall for it you will almost have to be Amish and you will be viewed I use this word intentionally with all

that it entails not in a joking fashion you will be viewed in time as retarded. You will become a danger to society because you will not be plugged into the system. You will not understand what's happening. You will be a danger to the rest of society. You will have to be Amish or damn close to it if you want to avoid this. The only other way to do it is to know who God is.

know what's real, what's not, don't get sucked into these things, and that's going to be damn near impossible because it's going to be, you think the iPhone is seductive? This is going to be so seductive. This will give you everything you want. It will make your life so easy. Why would someone want to be a pariah? Why would somebody want to do all that work and do it the old-fashioned way? we're running out of time to have these kinds of conversations.

I'm having them with people all the time, and I'm reading all the time, and I'm studying this all the time. It's coming quickly. And we can, no, we can't stop it, but we can prepare ourselves so we're not out in the cold. Let me talk to you about Jace Medical. We hear a lot about the supply chain.

There are some stories that I run into that will haunt me, stories that will keep me up at night, stories that will gnaw at the back of your mind because they force you to confront something that you don't want to believe about the world or your country or yourself. This is one of those stories, and it begins deep in the night in Afghanistan. It's outside of a terrorist compound bristling with weapons, teeming with men who have sworn their lives to destruction. This is important to point out here.

These are not the peaceful farmers that if you read about this story anywhere in the coming days, the media will have you believe they were just farmers. They weren't. This was a well-planned operation. These were trained killers, men who had pledged themselves to jihad, foreign fighters in a country where, according to our government, there weren't supposed to be any foreign fighters. But we knew there were. A group of some of our most elite army rangers.

They're there in the dark outside of this compound. and with precision and silence they close in. The mission is clear, neutralize the threat. They have all kinds of intel, but they're missing one important piece of intel, and that's what is inside of this compound, something they never expected and really at the beginning didn't know how to deal with it. They kicked down the door, and there is a foreign al-Qaeda fighter who is holding two things.

In one hand, he has his AK automatic rifle. And in his other hand, he is holding a newborn six-week-old baby. As the Rangers enter, he lifts the gun and he fires at them. They fire back. He turns and runs and ducks into another room. Our guys come in. They are, there's gunfire being exchanged. He then begins, he throws a grenade.

One of our rangers protects his animal, his dog. He's the closest to the grenade. For some reason, he is safe, but others are badly injured on our side. And they throw a grenade in, grenade, gunfire, gunfire between the two rooms. finally everything goes quiet they go into the next room and they find two things one they find the Taliban soldier dead or al-Qaeda fighter dead the other thing that they find is not the baby they find a passageway into other rooms of this compound the baby's gone, but they think maybe she didn't even exist. Maybe it was a trick of the light or the eye

in the haste. So they go down the next corridor and they have to fight their way through. There are at least a dozen committed Taliban fighters. And they go through killing perhaps a dozen bad guys. We take casualties as well. Finally, they reach what they hope is the last room, one last room in the compound. As they come around the corner, they see a young mom. She's maybe a teenager. She is standing with her back against the wall, and she is holding the baby. What do they do?

They begin to enter the room, and she begins to move towards them, and they are shouting, stay where you are, stay where you are. Don't move. Stay where you are. She continues to approach, and that's when they see, Not only is she holding a baby, she's wearing a suicide vest, and she blows herself up. Fire, dust, engulfs the room. When it clears, and our soldiers can still barely hear from the impact of the explosion,

the woman is gone. Her body has been torn apart. But there, in the dirt, a few feet away from her, is the baby. barely alive. She has a tiny, six weeks old, tiny broken body, her leg is shattered. We find out later she has a concussion, very, very bad. Then, when they think it's all over,

another shot rings out. This one is coming from an Afghan soldier. On our side, he's standing just a few feet away, and he raises his rifle again, He's going to finish what the mom started. He's going to kill the baby. Now our Afghan allies are screaming at us and we're screaming at them.

Americans don't want this baby killed. They argue back and forth with our Afghani allies. They insist the baby has to be killed. They will shoot her. They have to shoot her. If not, they'll take her to the river to be drowned. But she must die because, she'll grow up to be another generation of terrorists, and they say, we will face her later.

You've got to kill the child. But Americans don't think that way. All life is sacred. It's why we offer life-saving medicine to those who are just trying to kill us. It's the way of the West. It's the way of America. But they refuse to hand her over. They're not going to let this baby die.

So with gunfire still ringing in the distance, the Army Rangers do something extraordinary, something that we don't know had been done before. They don't just complete their mission. They save a baby's life. So now, here's the baby in camp, broken, orphaned, abandoned, shall later be called sparrow by one of the Marines. They take Sparrow to the Craig Joint Theater Hospital in Bagram Airfield. She's cared for, she's protected. For over five months, she's in the hospital. American service members, men and women who had seen death a thousand times over,

have become her family, the doctors and the nurses. They hold her, they feed her, they prey over her. The nurses and doctors nicknamed this little girl, Starfish. after the little story about the boy who was picking up starfish and throwing him into the ocean and a guy comes up to him and says, why are you doing that? Look how many starfish are on the beach. You'll never save all of them. And he says, no, but it matters to this one.

I can save this one. That's how passionately the Americans felt about this baby. She's starfish. in that time a Marine named Joshua Mass. He's walking with his superior officer. And the superior officer says, what are we going to do with this baby? Joshua didn't know about the baby.

But he's a man who has fought his whole life for justice. And as he starts looking into this little girl, she becomes more than an orphaned casualty of war. He saw hope through her. did dozens of others who fight our battles and then save lives afterward. They all saw this baby and this life worth saving. But no parents left. They were killed in the battle. He eventually goes to the Department of Defense and says somebody's got to kill the, somebody goes out to save this baby, somebody's got to adopt, or at least be able to be the legal guardian.

So he begins the process with his wife to become the leading guardian, to pay for all the medicine, to make sure that she has a name, that she has paperwork, and they start the process to adopt her. That should be the end of the story. Adoption. She comes to the United States. She's now a family of five, and she's loved, and that's it. That's the way this story should have ended. rather than a child who is left to die on the battlefield. The baby's given a second chance.

But that's not the story because this little girl, this one child, has threatened the United States government and the Taliban. This threatens to unravel an international lie. Now, we know what our government was like in Afghanistan. We now know how many lies they have been covering up. So what happens to this little baby, adopted as an American, now living in Virginia? Well, the United States government, our government, had signed a peace agreement with the Taliban. And part of that deal, a crucial stipulation, was that there were no foreign fighters in Afghanistan.

None. But that wasn't true. another lie from the Taliban. How do we know? Because our rangers went in and killed foreign fighters. They were al-Qaeda fighters from another country. Just another lie from the Taliban. So this young girl who has now been nicknamed Sparrow,

her mere existence, her DNA, her survival was proof of a lie that could unravel everything. So the State Department did what governments do when truth becomes inconvenient. They just tried to erase it and erase her. In 2020, bureaucrats, safe in their office, thousands of miles from the battlefield, stepped in. They ignored the orders from the Department of Defense. They ignored the courts. They ignored the men and women who had been there and who had seen what happened.

And they handed Sparrow, our State Department, handed Sparrow over to an elderly Afghani man. with no DNA testing or proof of relation whatsoever, no legal claim, no proper vetting, a man that we later find out is connected directly to the Taliban. He said that she had been taken by the U.S. troops after they killed his farmer family for no reason in the middle of the night. And he just wanted his little grandchild back. so our State Department, because it was convenient, because they didn't want to upset any apple cart and the Taliban needed her to be dead, our State Department abandoned her.

And they expected our Marine Joshua Mast and his wife to do exactly the same thing. But he didn't. Because unlike the government, unlike the bureaucrats, he didn't see this little baby as a diplomatic inconvenience. He and his wife and his family grew to see her as a daughter, as a sister. And when Afghanistan collapsed, when the Taliban stormed back into power and the world watched in horror as people were clinging to landing gear of C-17s desperate to escape, Joshua Mass did the unthinkable. He rescued her. Mercury 1 was part of this rescue. He found Sparrow, and he got her.

out. But once again, he didn't save just one life. Because he didn't know about the connections, he helped the very people who had taken Sparrow from him. They said, she's staying with us unless we can go. So he went to the Pentagon, he went to the Department of Defense, did everything he was supposed to do, and he got the Afghan couple with these very loose claims to the child and no DNA testing, they were airlifted right alongside her. They were safe, alive in America. But unbeknownst to mass, her new guardians had another name for Sparrow. Lottery ticket.

She's our lottery ticket to America. This is all happening in the chaotic days of the Afghan withdrawal, and Mass said he would help the two out if they could pass the screening. They agreed. That should have been the end of it, but it wasn't. Because the new dad, once on the ground in America, was found to be on the terror watch list. Now our government had two problems.

DNA proof that foreign fighters were part of a battle which would collapse a peace deal, and the Taliban needed to stop it from coming out. And on our side, we just had airlifted a known terrorist and released him into the population of Texas. Both sides needed to get away from this. Sparrow's life wasn't worth all the bad publicity or the threat that the peace deal could fall through or that Biden simply took the words of the Taliban or a transport. somebody who was on the terror watch list. Now the very people who masked had tried to innocently save had turned against him. Now the Texas couple was suing them, claiming that he had kidnapped Sparrow. And you'll never guess who comes in to defend the couple.

Hunter Biden's law firm. Let that sink in for a minute. A Marine, a man who fought for this country. who saved a child now being dragged through the mud by a legal machine that has defended terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and the same people that represented Hunter Biden. Here's the part that should terrify every single American. The federal government for the last four years has been backing them, not the masks. They have wiped John Doe's name out from the terror watch list. It just disappeared.

They have suppressed evidence. They buried mission reports. They silenced whistleblowers. They made sure that that mission remained classified until recently. Why? Because they just needed this to go away. If Sparrow's allowed to stay with the only family she's ever known, if the truth comes out about who her parents really were,

it will expose the broken adoption system, but also a massive international cover-up where our administration is on the side of the Taliban. You're listening to the best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more? Check out the full show podcasts. Anywhere you download podcasts. I want to have a tough conversation with you

because these are the things we have to decide before we embed them in AI. We don't know our own morality. What are we putting into AI? and this one is a very tough one. Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order to expand access to in vitro fertilization, IVF. That takes the egg of the mom and combines it with the sperm of the father and puts it in a petri dish to create an embryo, a new life. IVF recreates the moment of conception, but in a lab.

And it's a controversial process because at least those of us on the right, you know, we celebrate the creation of life. It's a miracle that a couple that can't have a child or struggling to conceive can. But on the other hand, a lot of the embryos created in the lab are discarded. And if you believe that life begins at conception, that means you're throwing away or worse experimenting on new life. Liz Wheeler is here to take us through this maze. Hello, Liz. How are you? Hi, Glenn. Thanks for having me. You bet. So, you know, I saw that over 90% of you said,

over 90% of the children created by IVF die, either left frozen and abandoned, destroyed due to eugenics, experimented on, or miscarried. Only 7% are born. What is the real... make an argument for somebody who may not believe the petri dish is the beginning of life. Can you? Yeah. And I want to start by saying that this is such a gut-wrenching topic to talk about.

Yes. Because every baby born, regardless of the circumstances of their conception, is beautiful and worthy of dignity and had value and should be celebrated. So all those beautiful babies that were created by IVF, are not less so because that was the circumstances of their conception. Correct. It's still a natural process. It's just making it happen in a lab, but it's still the miracle of life when you put those two things together. Of course. Those children are still made in the image and dignity, the image and likeness of God. And I also am deeply empathetic to women who, married couples, who are trying to conceive

and are struggling to conceive before I had my first daughter, my eldest is four years old. I struggled to conceive for three years, and I lost it. baby and it's horrendous. It's the worst thing that's ever happened. And so I understand how emotionally fraught this topic it is because if you're given this opportunity, you know, if IVF can fulfill this deep desire in your heart to have a baby, I fully empathize with that. But all that being said, the reality of in vitro fertilization is not what it is portrayed to be. Because for every one of those beautiful babies that's born, about 15 babies are killed. So it's not a pro-life endeavor to support in vitro fertilization as a solution to the infertility crisis that we are suffering in this nation.

And we are suffering an infertility crisis in this nation. We've never experienced a point in world history where one out of six or one out of seven women are struggling to conceive where you have to make an active choice to try to have a baby versus just it happening, you know, the way that doing what comes naturally. Right. And my argument against individual fertilization is a couple of things. First of all, it's anti-Maha, right? One of the exciting things about the Trump administration is that he chose Bobby Kennedy to partner with him to actually investigate the root causes of the chronic health crises in our nation.

And we're so excited about this. I mean, thank you, President Trump for choosing Bobby Kennedy. Thank you, Bobby Kennedy for never giving up and for praying every day for this opportunity. but let's apply that same philosophy to the fertility crisis. Let's not just put a Band-Aid over this. Let's go to the root cause and say, hey, why is women's fertility struggling right now?

What could be causing that? Because that's not how it's supposed to be. And let's fix it. So this is really, hang on just a second. This is a really amazing stat. The rate of fertility in the United States dropped 3% in 2023 from 2022. From 2014 to 2020, the rate consistently decreased.

decreased by 2% annually. There is something happening with our bodies. Deeply wrong. Yes. Yes, there is. I mean, it's the same thing, to be honest. It's the same thing as what's happening to our children. We have big pharma and big food, and it's poisoning our bodies.

It's disrupting our endocrine systems. It's disrupting our hormones and it's resulting, you know, testosterone levels and sperm counts are falling. Like, there are identifiable things, measurable things that are happening to our bodies that we can reverse if we stop letting. big food and big pharma dictate and that's where it gets back to IVF so big pharma um this is a cash cow for big pharma they make a ton of money off of in vitro fertilization which means that they are unwilling just like during covid when they were unwilling to say maybe

hydroxychloroquine maybe ivermectin no no they only wanted the vaccine because it profited them that's similar to this they don't want to look at restorative fertility they don't look at napro technology they don't want to look at these other options that are healthier and more effective and more humane and more ethical because they don't profit from the things. So then we get to some of these numbers here. And these numbers are really what, what break your heart when you kind of zoom out and look at in vitro. So according to the CDC, just in the year 2021, there were 238,000 women who underwent IVF treatment, who, who underwent this procedure. Now, every time that a woman undergoes this procedure, anywhere, this is an

unregulated industry. So anywhere between five and 15 embryos are created. Multiple of those embryos are then implanted in the woman. However, getting back to the statistic you started this segment with, over 90%, 93% of those never are, they are not born live. They are either, you know, all 15 aren't implanted in a woman, so many of them are frozen. They are quote unquote screened for bad genetics, which is another word for eugenics. They look for characteristics that they might not want in a child, and then they destroy or experiment on those embryos. And because in vitro does not address a woman's hormones and fertility in her body, often has, she miscarried. The risk of miscarriage with In vitro is much, much higher than an ordinary

pregnancy or restorative fertility. So then you have the 238,000 women who underwent this, say they have 10, 7, 8, 10 embryos that were created. That's about 1.5 to 2 million embryos created a year. And yet, in 2021, fewer than 100,000 babies were born from in vitro, which means that anywhere between 1.5 and 1.8 embryos, which Glenn, we know scientifically, spiritually, and ethically are human life, viramented, or remain in a freezer somewhere indefinitely, which is more children are dying from in vitro than are dying from abortion in the United States of America. So this is absolutely heartbreaking because, you know, my wife and I struggled. We adopted and we struggled to have a child. And boy, when,

you know, when a woman wants to have a baby and can't, it just screws with your mind so badly. And it's heartbreaking when a couple wants to have a child and there's so many children that are being aborted and you're like, let me take them. Please let me take them. But this, you know, when you say that the pharmaceutical companies like this because they're getting rich, the cost is between 12,000 to 25,000 per cycle, and it takes several cycles usually to take. So, you know, it's wildly expensive. What does Trump mean when he says he wants to make it easier to access? Do you know?

Well, that's the thing about this executive order. And President Trump is a very open-minded individual. One of my favorite things about him, actually, besides how hilarious he is on truth social. is that he listens to those who voted for him. I think that sets him apart from almost any other politician that I've ever known in my lifetime. The executive order is not entirely specific. It actually just requests a report on how to make in vitro fertilization more accessible.

And so what I would encourage President Trump and his team to do, what I would request them from them is, you know, think outside the box here. Like look at, look at, look at in vitro through the lens of make America. healthy again and say, wait a second, we're here to doge the corruption that exists between government and, you know, Big Pharma or Big Food or whatever, DEI programs, all this stuff that President Trump has Elon Musk doing that we're all delighted with. Apply that philosophy to this too. Make sure that when you are looking at in vitro fertilization, you're looking at it through the lens of, hey, is Big Pharma lying to women, lying to families to profit themselves?

Is this something that's actually existential harmful for our country? someone else wants to make money. And meanwhile, they're hiding from women the fact that if you undergo in vitro, your child is more likely to have heart defects and, you know, physical deformities in addition to miscarrying, in addition to all of those innocent lives that are being, that are being, you know, put on ice quite literally and discarded. And Glenn, one of the things that really chills me when I talk about or when I, when I, when I research IVF when we're talking about it, is this genetic screening that you can,

these embryos are given rating on a scale of one to ten like is this healthy is this not healthy do they have desirable characteristics and to me that's just that's just a row if it's not eugenics right now which i would argue it is it's the road to eugenics so trump's executive order um i encourage him to really focus on restorative reproductive pro-technology focus on maha we can fix this crisis we all want more babies we all want the united states that we all want the united states that this incredible baby boom. I share that desire with him. I think it's wonderful that he wants to be pro-family,

but let's do this right. Let's do this in a way that's never been done before. So where does Bobby Kennedy, I mean, is this a passion point for him at all on at least restorative health for the pregnancy rate? One of the interesting things about Bobby Kennedy is his curiosity. He's actually, he's often portrayed, you know, as an anti-vactor, but he is so open-minded to where,

wherever the data lead him. And if he is presented with evidence that women's fertility, this is not how we were our bodies were intended to work. We were intended to be, you know, very fertile. And something that we're doing, some intervention, environmental, you know, food, pharma, whatever it is, stress technology, this combination, this culmination. If something's not correct, then he wants to fix that. But it's not just happening here in America. It is happening all over the world. It is, yes. But what's interesting is the fertility crisis is happening in nations who have adopted more of a

Western mindset to medicine, meaning pharma and also food. Liz, thank you very much for taking us through this. If people want to get involved, what would you suggest? I would suggest reaching out to President Trump, get on X, email, call, make your voices heard. And, you know, if it's a tough topic, it's an emotionally fraught topic. There's a compassionate way to handle it. We obviously should handle this in a very compassionate way. But encourage President Trump to look at the reality of the IVF industry

because at the end of the day, for every one life that is born, about 15 babies are killed in this process. And we as a nation should not accept that morally. Liz, thank you very much. Love you.
