Is Michele Bachmann a flake?

Is Michele Bachmann a flake?

Well according to her recent interview with Chris Wallace, maybe.

On Fox News Sunday, Wallace threw Bachmann several seemingly harsh questions regarding policy and prior statements she has made as a Congresswoman, but perhaps none was more pointed than when Wallace asked Bachmann if she was a flake.

WALLACE: I don't have to tell you that you have – the rap on you here in Washington is that you have a history of questionable statements, some would say gaffes ranging from talking about anti America members of congress to, on this show a couple of months ago when you suggested that NATO air strikes had killed up to 30,000 civilians. Are you a flake?

BACHMANN: Well, I think it would be insulting to say something like that because I'm a serious person.

WALLACE: But you understand when I say that that that's what the rap on you is?

BACHMANN: Well, what I would say is that I am 55 years old, I've been married 33 years, I'm not only a lawyer, I have a post doctorate degree in federal tax law from William & Mary.

Bachmann was clearly caught off guard by the question, though she managed to recover and answer Wallace’s question relatively well.

On air there was disagreement between Glenn, Pat, and Stu over what transpired. Pat took issue with Wallace’s accusatory tone and what he believes to be “a stupid question,” while Glenn initially did not have a problem with the situation.

After hearing the clip, however, Glenn changed his mind. “Yeah. I mean, I thought he was going to say, look, this is – I thought he would frame it in such a way that you would say, ‘look, this is what people say.’"

Stu, on the other hand, disagreed, believing that Wallace did frame the question under the guise that this is how other people perceive Bachmann. He also defended Wallace’s history of fair reporting. “I probably would have a problem with it if it was someone that had a different history than Chris Wallace who I've not found to be unfair at all,” Stu said.

Past fairness aside, will Chris Wallace’s words have lasting effects? He has since come out with an apology, but is it too late? The liberal media will most likely have a field day with this one – a case of conservatives turning on one another. Unfortunately, it seems as though the damage may have been done.

Megyn Kelly: Trans ideology in schools is 'NOT support … this is INDOCTRINATION'

Megyn Kelly pulled her sons out of the private elementary school they attended after she learned that the boys were asked "weekly" if they were still sure they were boys. But that's not all that this "experimental transgender education program" taught.

Megyn joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to tell the story, which she thought had ended when the school apologized, and to talk about what's next for America as our leaders refuse to promote actual psychological support for our kids and instead "parade" transgenderism as the solution to their problems.

"When [my son] was in third grade, I found out they unleashed a three-week experimental transgender education program on these boys, with really inappropriate videos. The kids were confused. These are 8- and 9-year-olds, Glenn. They have no idea what the school is even talking about with the trans thing. They got really in-depth, with really in-your-face videos — and then parents complained. And the school did something it hasn't done in its 400-year history, which was they apologized. Even they realized they had done wrong," Megyn explained.

"But, then I said to my son a year later, so did they ever round back to the trans thing? Like, whatever happened with it? And he said ... they bring it up every week. ... [They ask] how many people here still feel confident that they're a boy? Do you still feel sure you're a boy?" she continued. "This is not support. This is not nonbullying. This is indoctrination. And it's deeply confusing to the children, and wrong."

Megyn went on to give examples of how she's seen trans ideology turn "support, nonbullying, kindness, friendship, allyship, on its head."

"The absolute surrender of the medical community to this insanity is a scourge on this nation. It's disgusting what is happening with our doctors," she added. "There are people who are legitimately transgender, or who have gender dysphoria. And for those people, we should be supportive and they should get the care that they need. But what we've done instead, is taken everyone who expresses any kind of gender confusion and said, you're trans. You're trans. And we have our psychiatrists doing this."

"It's crazy," Megyn asserted. "The fact that we're doing this so willy-nilly in the name of allyship and support, it's abusive. It's criminal."

WATCH: Biden’s Middle East Chaos: Our Dangerous Path to the Next 9/11

"Never forget" is not only a tribute to those we've lost, it's a warning that it could happen AGAIN. On "Glenn TV" Wednesday, Glenn Beck looks back 20 years ago to the modern generation's Pearl Harbor moment. A day of infamy we're STILL feeling repercussions from.

But in remembering 9/11, we need to look toward the future because the Biden administration is setting us up for the NEXT 9/11. They bungled the Afghanistan withdrawal, and now we have video of top al Qaeda commanders — who served with Osama bin Laden — returning to the country. But could America survive another terror attack?

Glenn asks former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the leader who brought America back from the brink. He tells Glenn about the moment he learned the Twin Towers were struck, the actions he took to prevent more terrorism, and if he thinks NYC could survive another attack under Mayor de Blasio's leadership.

Glenn is also joined by Rev. Johnnie Moore, author of "The Next Jihad." He warns that Biden's policies in the Middle East are Obama 2.0, and "if you thought ISIS was bad, you haven't seen anything yet. We must keep our eyes on Iran."

WATCH: Glenn Beck reveals SHOCKING details of stalled Afghanistan rescue efforts

Glenn Beck and The Nazarene Fund have been working tirelessly to evacuate Americans and our allies from Afghanistan, thanks to the U.S. government's failure to do so. But it's been far from easy. A recent Newsweek article, titled "Taliban Holds Up Glenn Beck Group's Planes," addressed some of the most recent challenges. The article claimed that six planes — filled with Americans and SIVs ready for takeoff — were "grounded by the Taliban amid negotiations with the U.S. State Department." So, what's actually going on? Why is the State Department meddling in the rescue? And what are the next steps to get these Americans home?

'Who are those idiots?' Bill O'Reilly reacts to STUNNING claims that 'right-wing' groups are bigger threat than THE TALIBAN

Bill O'Reilly joined "The Glenn Beck Program" Friday to discuss a recent House Homeland Security Committee briefing on the impact of the 9/11 terror attacks, during which "national security experts" claimed "right-wing" groups pose a greater threat to the United States than groups like the Taliban or Al-Qaeda.

Glenn played two video clips from the briefing that showed Senior Fellow Brookings Institute Center for Middle East Policy, Daniel Byman, and former National Intelligence Council Chair during the Obama administration, Christopher Kojm, in apparent agreement that "right-wing extremists" are a bigger threat to Americans today than "jihadists."

"I'm someone who has written extensively on both jihadist groups, but also right-wing, white supremacist groups," Byman says in the first video clip. "And in my mind, there's no question that today in the United States, the right-wing and white supremacist violence is a much greater risk."

"I agree with your assessment and those of my colleagues who have spoken already, there's little doubt that the domestic terrorist threat from white nationalists and right-wing extremist groups is greater than the jihadist threat today," Kojm states in the second clip.

"Who are those idiots?" O'Reilly exclaimed. "It's just unbelievable ... they're not even in the same universe. Yeah, there are bad neo-Nazi Americans running around, yeah, but there are very few of them. I mean, the jihadists are causing death and destruction, death and destruction all over the world. Not just in the United States. These people are so blatantly irresponsible and ignorant, it's just staggering."
