I think there's a few things that should concern every single American.
Starting point is 00:03:59 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 Be. 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 one at the time, one ex-CIA officer told ABC News the cover sheets indicated the highest levels of secrecy, and in the wrong hands,
Starting point is 00:04:50 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 to his house and put in his shower. Remember that?
Starting point is 00:05:11 That was terrible. Why would he do such a thing? 13 boxes or containers contained documents with classification markers, and in all, over 100 unique documents with classification markings were seized. Okay. Certain of the documents had colored cover sheets indicating their classification status. 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
Starting point is 00:05:48 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,
Starting point is 00:06:38 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 paperclip 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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
Starting point is 00:07:48 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? No.
Starting point is 00:08:27 No. Isn't that what? what they did? I mean, certainly to manipulate public opinion. Yet they walked in with the things they photographed that said were in Donald Trump's home. They were not marked that way. They did not have those covers. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I mean, I definitely thought, my impression when seeing that photo was... That's what 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, 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 It just, they added that later for these photos is what we're learning. Yes. Yes. 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.
Starting point is 00:09:38 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, is our envoy, uh, to Iran. And all of a sudden, we're going to Iran and then all of a sudden the envoy was like, ah, he can't go. Why? Well, he's taking some time off. Why? Well, he just is. Why?
Starting point is 00:10:17 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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 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.
Starting point is 00:11:40 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 price. Appaganda 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 passion against Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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 know. I know. You have to be insane to say that. Correct. Correct. And we keep letting these people go. We keep letting them go.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Try this on for size. The Republican governors of Texas and Florida have penned letters condemning a proposal that would effectively allow the Democratic administration or any president to rest 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 Ronda Santis and Greg Abbott against this. 48 governors are against this. Joe Biden wants it.
Starting point is 00:13:29 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 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
Starting point is 00:14:09 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, rip up 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And I answer no as well. Why am I saying no now would say? know 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 was, paused those.
Starting point is 00:15:32 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, with the American people,
Starting point is 00:15:57 are for the arms sales, when Congress passed the sale, 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?
Starting point is 00:16:24 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. Flipflop on Israel, I love them, I hate them, I love them, I hate them, I love them, I hate them. Hey, what are the, what are the Muslims saying in Dearborn Michigan? Yeah, that's right, I remember now I hate them. That's not a political move?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Why am I against somebody doing political moves? Unless it is, because it is not in national, 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 past championship game. Kiss the girl you never had the courage to kiss.
Starting point is 00:17:53 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 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, I think there's going to be some cuts. I think there's going to be some cuts.

Starting point is 00:19:23 Station ID. 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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. Well, that kind of hurts the case quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:20:29 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 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.
Starting point is 00:21:14 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 this. seemingly me-toed 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,
Starting point is 00:21:51 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. initial tell. 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 She's now hit all of them. Anything that could have possibly happened in this room, she's 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 A reckoning is coming. and the business world, part of that reckoning is in the parallel economy.

Starting point is 00:24:13 It's Wednesday, which means Studez America and Glenn TV back-to-back. Big special tonight. Don't miss it. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. promo code is reckoning. All right. Just want to give you a recap of the stories we've already covered. These are just from today.
Starting point is 00:24:41 The DOJ looks like it doctored the crime scene photos from the Marlago 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.
Starting point is 00:25:38 48 governors are against, which one? Let me just finish that sentence. 48 governors are against this. if you know this, but we don't have 48 conservatives governors. Forty-eight of them are like, uh, I wouldn't do that. That sounds like a really bad idea. And unconstitutional.
Starting point is 00:25:57 But he's just doing it to be able to, you know, protect the republic. Uh, Biden administration hid pause 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?
Starting point is 00:26:14 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.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Here's why. Jaffe 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 peddled penalty of perjury. Joffie Block then, after we asked her or him, I don't know what it is, but nobody gave me the pronouns.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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, the now defunct left-wing organization known as ACORN.
Starting point is 00:28:18 When asked whether the now NPR reporter, whether she used to work for ACORN and whether she helped register illegal aliens to vote, Jaffe 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, helping them helping people set up underage prostitution rings.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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 previously had an illegal connection with the group. Finally, multiple acorn workers across multiple states were convicted of voter fraud. the blaze has the question for NPR.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Why are you hiring new quote unquote journalists that used to work for ACOR? Hmm. I mean, the other side of that would be you love ACORN and the Wright 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?
Starting point is 00:30:33 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? 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.
Starting point is 00:31:05 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?
Starting point is 00:31:48 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 a platform for the left-wing organizations
Starting point is 00:32:33 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 Stefonic said the internal meeting notes reveal illegal coordination between the Biden administration and the progressive activist 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 president Donald Trump's
Starting point is 00:33:28 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.
Starting point is 00:34:09 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,
Starting point is 00:34:43 as well as staffers from groups such as the Open Society Policy Center, George Soros's group, End Citizens United, and eBay founder Pierre Olomadar's Democracy Fund. Also, there were others that were involved as well, Southern Policy, 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 administration was involved in this.
Starting point is 00:35:53 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.
Starting point is 00:36:31 But once the votes are cast, it's going to be hard to turn it around. there is going to be 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
Starting point is 00:36:49 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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.
Starting point is 00:37:45 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, 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 just, agree 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 in the other,
Starting point is 00:38:36 the country will just burn down to the ground. And we can't allow that to happen. Sponsor this half hour is American financing. Are you behind the eight ball with some of your credit cards? I know. So many people, so many people have just taken out so much on their credit cards because they're buying groceries with their credit cards now.

Starting point is 00:46:15 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 here a little while. The things that left
Starting point is 00:46:31 are left on the editing floor. The things that we left on the editing floor are so monstrous that 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 they're parents. Many times they have no idea.
Starting point is 00:47:01 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 on from the Daily Signal. She is a senior reporter.
Starting point is 00:47:28 She's also written the book, D-Tran. 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,
Starting point is 00:47:57 what would your answer be? if you guessed more than a million, you'd be right. You know, 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 highest numbers since 2012. Why do you think that is?
Starting point is 00:48:22 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 preborn? Would you consider saving some babies in a big way? $28 pays for an ultrasound.
Starting point is 00:48:56 That doubles the chance of a baby's life. Then beyond that, Preborn 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 Preborn's entire network for a day, helping to rescue 200 babies, donate, dial, pound 2,000. 50 right now, say the keyword baby that's pound 250 keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash Beck. Mary Margaret Olohan is, no, how do you say it?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Sarah, Ollahan. Sorry, Mary Margaret. Mary, Margaret Olahan 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.
Starting point is 00:50:00 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 a 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,
Starting point is 00:50:40 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 dramatically 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.
Starting point is 00:51:13 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're 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, Yaley, 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,
Starting point is 00:51:50 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. She was absolutely horrific. Yaley, this daughter, once 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 different gender identity. The school started socially transitioning her, calling her by a boy name, Andrew, using a male pronoun. 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
Starting point is 00:52:38 ultimately worked with the state and the state ultimately took Yaley 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, 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 Yaley'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.
Starting point is 00:53:20 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, 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 people who are shouting about how trans youth are at risk, they are at risk
Starting point is 00:54:00 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 They're most likely not going to have children. They probably are not going to 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,
Starting point is 00:55:16 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.
Starting point is 00:55:51 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.
Starting point is 00:56:31 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 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.
Starting point is 00:57:01 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 work on this. she found that only 24% of the group of detransitioners who have decided that they detransitioned or, you know, 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 actually because
Starting point is 00:57:46 they're only reflecting the people who come back. And so in... 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? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:58:25 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? But 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Even if you're doing it from an attention-seeking standpoint, 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 fear. The medical professionals 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.
Starting point is 00:59:14 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.
Starting point is 00:59:44 She got it the same afternoon. She went in and filled out the form. Wow. 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.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Maybe you should try a plan 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.
Starting point is 01:00:14 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 asked her what her gender was. She tells them she's a guy. And so, in all her medical forms, they call her a guy, and they treat her as a guy, and then
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:07 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 the interest they seem to have in facts and science anymore. And it does make you wonder, Glenn, whether this is completely. 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.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Mary Margaret, thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much. You bet. That's Mary Margaret, Olahan, and she is the author of D-Trans.

Starting point is 01:02:36 Things might be about to get much worse in Israel before they get to be any better.

Some of the stories that you will not hear tonight in the leaked W-Path 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 vaginaplasty is a surgery done for men who want to appear to have a vagina. and by W. Path, that's the world's leader in transgender health.
Starting point is 01:04:56 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 W-Path members didn't think so. One member posted and asking if the next version, of the so-called standards of care that W-Path produces would soften the 12-month live-gender requirement at the age of 79. I mean, time is of the essence.
Starting point is 01:05:26 That's when W-Path member 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?
Starting point is 01:06:03 No, you didn't hear that? One member posted a trans male, that's a woman, in her early 60s, had successful chest surgery. 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, end quote.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Tell you about relief factor. You're going to need relief factor, I think, tonight after the program, especially if you have kids. This is so important to watch if you have kids. This is honestly information you just won't hear anywhere because nobody wants to talk about it. You're going to need a good night's sleep. Get relief factor sleep.

Starting point is 01:08:20 Stu, what is the fastest, or the 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.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Well, yes, it probably isn't. Okay. How about the just, you know, no more SUVs, no more coal power? No. No. No. What do we do to it? The actual thing.
Starting point is 01:08:49 The real answer? The real answer. It would change everything overnight. They say it would change everything. If you, I mean, nuclear power would be a, would be a good answer. Reduce the population of humans. Oh, yeah, there you go. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:05 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.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Okay. That's okay. I guess I see what we're going here. All right. Or you could, I mean, why does, why is Bill Gates so in love with Planned Parenthood? I mean, he's talked about, you know, reducing the population, not necessarily in killing existing people, but reducing the increase of birth and therefore slowing global warming or whatever. So let me, let me just.
Starting point is 01:09:53 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 W-Path files. W-Path 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 one setting the standards for compassionate transgender medical care. Their name makes them sound reputable in scientific,
Starting point is 01:10:28 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. W Path, the files, are a collection of internal messages between this grab 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.
Starting point is 01:10:59 We did. And what we found was shocking. And I have to tell you, 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 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.
Starting point is 01:11:32 What you're going to see tonight is the truth. And, you know, 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.
Starting point is 01:12:01 I don't want to think about it. This is everywhere in our medical professionals now. Now, the president of W. Path 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 W-Path 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 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?
Starting point is 01:12:54 And that can be killing people or just plan 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.
Starting point is 01:13:32 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 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.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Okay, sterilization, gang. According to W-Path 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, W-Path 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.
Starting point is 01:14:57 You don't fully understand it, Marcy? Really? W-Path 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 W-Path for the sham organization, for the Nazi doctors that they are creating. But we're going to need your help.

Starting point is 01:18:01 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.
Starting point is 01:18:24 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.
Starting point is 01:18:50 We're putting illegals in hotels and leaving our service members on the streets.

Starting point is 01:19:34 Isn't that lovely? 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're at 7-11 you want to get some beer
Starting point is 01:19:57 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 and I 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
Starting point is 01:20:12 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 constitution
Starting point is 01:20:44 wealth can help you solve this problem.

Starting point is 01:21:30 You know, one of the amazing things that you're going to find tonight is, have you ever fought with your insurance company? Ever thought with your insurance company overstock? I get back injections, steroid injections in my back.
Starting point is 01:21:48 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.
Starting point is 01:22:23 My child needs this medication. Nope, can't do it. Do you know when it comes to transitioning? 100% coverage. You don't even... I bet there's not a question asked. You is not a question at. Why?
Starting point is 01:22:41 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. I agree.
Starting point is 01:23:00 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 it. 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 to tell you. I don't know. Maybe I'm too skeptical.
Starting point is 01:23:18 I have to tell you. I think I am 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,
Starting point is 01:23:35 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 something. 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.
Starting point is 01:23:56 I think it does incredible things. I'm there on Western medicine. I'm there on Western food. Oh, totally disagree. Taco Bell is the greatest place on earth. Look at the incredible things they're doing on a daily basis. I agree with you far as CrunchRex Supreme. I want some Taco Bell.
Starting point is 01:24:12 Yeah, I agree with you. Oh, 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.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Like, detransitioning. I totally disagree with that. And I think there's a real reason to be skeptical of that movement. Of D transitioning? I'm sorry, transitioning. They say D? I'm sorry. Had the author's book in my head.
Starting point is 01:25:00 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. Every other country, but America. I do think it's coming here. I do think it's coming. I think we will.
Starting point is 01:25:19 I 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. BlazTV.com slash Glenn. Should you try that promo code? If you tried it, I bet you'd save 30 bucks. Wow. That's incredible.
Starting point is 01:25:35 But it is a really important thing. Because what I, 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, I don't think it has anything to do with. This is politics invading medicine. It's derailing medicine. It's destroying science. It's money and politics. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:57 It is, it's big money being able to get in bed through all kinds of, you know, 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 way to do it.
Starting point is 01:26:22 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 also more.
Starting point is 01:26:49 importantly, the insurance companies. Why are the insurance companies greenlighting everything when you can't get a tooth bolt? The Glenn Beck program. All right, let me tell you about Jace Medical. Jace Medical, in case you need medicine, and you can't get it. Why?
Starting point is 01:27:07 It's America. Of course, you can get the medicine. Really? Really? Because we're starting to have real problems with medicines. There's already shortages in medicines and critical antibiotics. That's why we're 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
Starting point is 01:27:34 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. What a relief that would be if things went bad. Jacemedical.com. That's jacemedical.com. promo code Beck.

Starting point is 01:28:14 Savoray. Admirate. And profite. Via-a-rail, the voice that we love. Well, there's a couple of things going on. You should know. Donald Trump just won another delay, this time in his Georgia case.
Starting point is 01:29:14 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
Starting point is 01:29:49 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.
Starting point is 01:30:16 It's W. Path. 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 substack 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,
Starting point is 01:30:53 that again, 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 in transitioning our children and others.

Michael Shelendberger, 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.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Tell me what W-Path is and why it's so critical people understand it. Sure. So W-Path 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 Anderan 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.
Starting point is 01:34:03 And what we have the internal discussion files by this organization, and it was, it's shocking. And we spent about eight months really writing a very serious report. I think it's about 140 pages entirely of both internal documents, about 70 pages of those of the internal files from this group. And then we have a report that explains all of it because you're dealing with, you know, supposedly medical issues. But look, what can I say? This 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,
Starting point is 01:34:49 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 13-year-olds with developmental disorders. We see homeless people with schizophrenia to surgery. It's just shocking to say. We see, and we see that neither the children nor the parents understand what's going to happen to them,
Starting point is 01:35:31 meaning they do not understand that they are likely to be sterilized and to lose sex. functional function, they have no conception of it. And so, you know, everybody's heard of do no harm. That's the Hippocratic of. Yeah. People need to know that there's another part of that, which is called informed consent. That's a technical 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 You've never heard a W-path, but you've heard of the AMA, you've heard of the American Academy of Pediatrics, you've heard of the American Psychiatrics.
Starting point is 01:36:15 These organizations have blood on their hands, and they're going to be held accountable. There are laws. These things are ongoing, Glenn, and it's truly a national scandal of something that really should shock the conscience of our country. Michael, I look at this, and I think this is the Tuskegee experiments. 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. We don't talk about it.
Starting point is 01:36:51 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, you know, racial minorities. It's up there with the Tuskegee experiments on black Americans. It's up there with the opioid crisis, you know, except for, in some ways it's worse, but
Starting point is 01:37:18 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, they are, if I were to kind of say who's to blame, you'd say doctors, the news, you know, the news media, the mainstream news media, you know, Hollywood for promoting this. You know, but I would say, you know, if people hope that things, there's, the 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 a very left-wing magazines, and the economists, 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 thing, this has to stop.
Starting point is 01:38:21 Children, adolescents, and vulnerable adults should not, puberty has to be viewed as a human right. Yes. 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 not to ask for anything, and they'll greenlight it. The second
Starting point is 01:39:06 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 I talked to my very progressive family and friends,
Starting point is 01:39:43 they don't believe this is happening. They literally, when I tell them, they deny that. They suggest that I'm making it up. I mean, they did, I should say. Now that reports 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, psychopaths and narcissists. You know, so that's what they've taken over the critical institutions of society.
Starting point is 01:40:24 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. You see any chance in Washington of anything changing? I think that from the polling data, and not just in the United States, but around the world, cracking down on free speech. I'm under criminal investigation in Europe, I'm sorry, in Brazil,
Starting point is 01:41:16 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 dangerous moment because we're in between two different, I think, systems. Systems or governments. And so we're seeing the discredited regime government, and we've seen them weaponizing the government institutions in order to maintain political power to its enemies,
Starting point is 01:41:55 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, relevant 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, there needs to be a significant change from the top of every nation to get control.
Starting point is 01:42:30 And I say this as a lifelong liberal and as somebody that, just from the street, 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 on Martin Luther King, you know, since the rogue assassination efforts, totalitarian, you know, we're 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
Starting point is 01:43:25 almost completely gone. And if we lose that, we're not a safe country anymore. Thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate it. No, he's gone. We've lost him. We've lost him. We've lost him. All right. Leaf Home Filter is our sponsor. You know the jobs that you never get done around the house because, I mean, they suck. You know the ones I'm talking about. That one window sill? Cleaning and organizing the garage, getting the leaves out of the rain gutters.

Starting point is 01:45:07 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?
Starting point is 01:45:43 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 going to four gay marriage. He hadn't even admitted that he was for gay marriage in 2012.
Starting point is 01:46:17 A decade later, we've gone through the entire gay marriage. 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.
Starting point is 01:46:38 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. Gender nullification. A surgeon from San Francisco, who you're going to hear about tonight on the
Starting point is 01:47:13 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 in getting insurance coverage so far. I made an effort not to use the diagnosis when sending information to insurance companies.
Starting point is 01:47:45 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 W-Path. No, they're all using W-Path care and standards as the reason to give money, as reason to do this.
Starting point is 01:48:11 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.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. I got a letter in, Glenn, I'm writing about a friend of mine, Maryland, but everybody calls her Susie.
Starting point is 01:51:38 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.
Starting point is 01:52:00 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 under the story.
Starting point is 01:52:20 Nope, we're moving on. No, can we get her on the phone? I thought I would call her instead. Oh, yes, I'm on the phone. How are you? Maryland. Well, I'm doing fine. You're doing fine.
Starting point is 01:52:35 What are you doing for your birthday today? Well, I'm talking with my... 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...
Starting point is 01:52:58 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 born, if you don't mind me asking? I was born in 29. 1929. During the Depression.
Starting point is 01:53:24 What is the earliest memory you have of something that was going on in America? Well, everybody lost their money and had to go a few years' money. Yeah. And it took a long time. And when the war broke out, started with Cheney pickup. in people getting more money.
Starting point is 01:54:06 Yeah. So, Susie, how do you, how are 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 doing at this point in our history? I think it's like a bad movie. And they just won't lay you else for the war. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:54:32 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 Suzy? Yes. Yeah, okay. I'm asking you. Why does everybody call you Susie? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:54:57 I think my brother started it. Really? And all the others just climbed in with it. But anyway, it's stuck 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.
Starting point is 01:55:28 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 of, you have a lot of. You have a lot in common, Susie. Okay. I think everybody has a nickname, and they're stuck with it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:55:46 Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Susie. Thank you for talking to me today. And happy birthday. Okay. I'll keep listening. All right. God bless you.
Starting point is 01:55:58 Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye. You know what's amazing is I can guarantee. I should have asked. 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,
Starting point is 01:56:20 they're the same age. I think you hit about 20 and you just, that's who you are, you know? And, you know, you can grow from there. 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 in his philosophy, but it was more covering what was in the book rather than the actual book.
Starting point is 01:56:44 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 my brother. Then there's this guy and that guy. And he goes on, there's like 17 of them.
Starting point is 01:57:01 and I'm listening to it and I'm thinking, I don't, I don't, I don't think I know 17 people. I don't think I have 17 friends. Right, right, right. And they were all, they were all this amazing people. This person taught me how to be 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.
Starting point is 01:57:39 You know, I don't know who I... That's interesting. You know, I like, well, Bob taught me not to mix, you know, alcohols when you're drinking. Don't drink vodka and then whiskey and then wine. You'll regret it. That's the kind of stuff I think I have. Right. And I think my friends would say that about me.
Starting point is 01:58:02 Do you really not have 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, you know, circuitous to get into. I guess. But I do have those. I guess.
Starting point is 01:58:21 Yes, I do. You just have to think, maybe, you know, maybe he didn't. Well, if you're writing a book, you probably think him. Yeah. Maybe he just, you know, 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 a couple of sentences still nothing nothing
Starting point is 01:58:45 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. Right.
Starting point is 01:59:28 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.
Starting point is 01:59:45 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 you just describe things you know about me.
Starting point is 01:59:57 That's not necessarily... No, those are things like 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.
Starting point is 02:00:13 I mean, you know, the don't make threats make promises, which again, as you say, if you've stolen from me, you stole it twice. I don't think that was your original. No. No. You didn't learn anything original from me. No, of course. I don't think we, you know, I am really just like I am rubber, you are glue. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:00:30 Yeah. Except I'm glue. It just, you say it. then it sticks to me and then I'm like, hey, I got something smart to say. Yeah. You know? Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:00:38 That's what you learned from me. Yeah. Steel 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.
Starting point is 02:00:51 I was, because I really was thinking today. I was thinking, what? Because I want to do that list. I'll 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 Rillius 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.
Starting point is 02:01:20 Yeah. And that just takes time, too. I mean, obviously, meditation's being a nice pathway to that. I was thinking about this as well, because a long time ago, I started when the kids were born, and 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 great. I am on national radio sharing it currently.
Starting point is 02:01:42 After my kids are out, after my kids have been destroyed by me. 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, yeah, yeah. I started doing this thing where I was do 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 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.
Starting point is 02:02:15 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 them. I thought, honestly, that's, that I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. See if I can come up with at least 17. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:27 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 like all of my other books, they won't read that either. So nothing will change. It's so true and so sad.
Starting point is 02:02:47 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.
Starting point is 02:03:12 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 would be nice to have them on a piece of paper or something that someone can actually look at them. I mean, my dad passed away 2014. And I remember I talked to my stepmom about it. be like, does he have any, like, writings? Is there anything like he wrote about his life?
Starting point is 02:03:34 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.
Starting point is 02:03:46 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, God, dad left so much stuff. He was such a pack rat. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:04:03 Give this to Goodwill. Burn this incriminating evidence. You know? I can't imagine them going through it all. Well, you especially, it would be impossible. I mean, it would be impossible to listen to everything you've 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?
Starting point is 02:04:25 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, I guess he was conservative. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:04:40 Who knew? Who knew? I didn't see him. I didn't see him. All right. Let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. That's a worthwhile project, though. I like that idea.
Starting point is 02:04:47 You're actually going to do it? Yeah, and go to. That's a really good thing. Will you release it to the peeps? The non-family peeps, maybe on glenbeck.com or maybe in a... Of course, it's me. I mean... Of course, you will share it with everyone.
Starting point is 02:04:59 I should have known. He will share it with everybody. This is what I did with my hemorrhoids. Well, I got eye surgery starting tomorrow. Oh my gosh. Glenn's got eye surgery. It's going to be... Okay, okay.
Starting point is 02:05:09 Let me ask you this. Macomb. We've 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. We're just going to lift up the hood, do some work underneath the hood there for a while.
Starting point is 02:05:25 I want a picture of it. I don't want to see a picture of it. I do, though. If it was you, you wouldn't be at all like, no, I want to see, oh, I want to see it. I want to see it. No, I don't want to see it. There's a horror movie with you starring in it.
Starting point is 02:05:39 It'd be incredible. And you'd be able to see all the stuff underneath and then, you know, just your eyes like cross, like, 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, no, you might see, you know,
