Last month, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) released a draft report titled “The History, Uses and Abuses of Title IX” detailing tensions between the federal government’s interpretation of Title IX and the academic freedom and speech protections that faculty require. The group accused the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of overreach in its enforcement of the anti-sex-discrimination law, saying its actions effectively force universities to choose between following federal Title IX guidance and “protecting academic freedom, free speech, and due process.”

At issue is how colleges and universities handle complaints of sexual assault and more --- and the federal government's controls and punishment for verbal statements to which it objects.

Have YOU had an abortion and regretted it? Glenn wants to hear YOUR story!

Glenn just bought the ENTIRE Roe v. Wade archive from Linda Coffee, the original lawyer behind the landmark abortion case. As a pro-life activist, Glenn doesn't want the lives of the 60 million+ babies who died between Roe v. Wade in 1973 and the Dobbs decision in 2022 to go unforgotten. He purchased the archive so that it wouldn't be treated as a relic of abortion in someone else's collection, but rather as a historical reminder to never sacrifice human life for the sake of freedom EVER again.

But there are two parties in abortion that need to be protected: the baby AND the mother. Glenn wants to honor the mothers who regret their abortions just as much as the babies who lost their lives to the procedure. If YOU had an abortion and regret it, or if you were planning on having an abortion and decided not to, Glenn wants to hear from YOU and honor your story.

If you feel inclined, write your story down on paper, send it to the below P.O. box, and Glenn will include it in his historical vault surrounding the history of abortion. If you would be comfortable with us sharing your story, please sign your name. If you would like to remain anonymous, you can leave your name off of the story.

Glenn bought the ENTIRE Roe v. Wade archive from Linda Coffee. Here's WHY... and a sneak peek.

Linda Coffee, the Dallas lawyer who first launched the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v.Wade that legalized abortion nationwide, decided to sell all of the case documents, from the first papers filed at the Texas District Court to the quill pens given to her during her argument before the Supreme Court. She said that she wanted to "inspire" the next generation of pro-choice activists in light of the Supreme Court's Dobbs ruling that overturned her landmark case. Coffee's lesbian partner Rebecca Hartt said:

We don’t know who’s going to end up acquiring it, but hopefully it will motivate some of the people to get into law or politics or whatever, because it needs to be challenged.

Coffee and Hartt couldn't have imagined who would end up buying the documents: Glenn Beck.

Glenn said the following upon acquiring the documents:

They [Coffee and Hartt] have passed [the documents] to a generation who perhaps is less focused on the so-called "human right" to kill and more on the human responsibility to care, love, and protect both the mother and child.

Glenn has long been an ardent supporters of the pro-life movement—standing up for pro-life Americans under attack from the Left, promoting organizations such as Pre-Born on his radio program, and interviewing pro-life activists to name a few examples. So why did he purchase the documents from the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion?

Glenn and his wife, Tania, said the following:

The real price of these documents were the lives of at least 60 million children [...] If we can use this to help expose this culture of death and Moloch worship, any monetary price we could personally pay would be worth it.

Instead of being purchased by a left-wing activist who would have heralded the documents as a sort of relic, Glenn wanted to make sure they were purchased by someone who would treat them as they are: the signed death sentence of 60 million children in our country from 1973 to 2022.

Now, Glenn is giving YOU access to the documents so that you can learn about the history of this case—and how to make sure that it is never repeated in the future. The slide show below contains 48 images of the 150 documents that went into Roe v. Wade.

THE DOCUMENTS for the 'Energy Reduction Act' Glenn TV special

Did YOU know that Biden's Inflation Reduction Act—or, as Glenn calls it, the "Energy Reduction Act"—incentivizes coal plants to permanently close? According to our most recent poll, most of you didn't—and neither did Glenn until recently. That inspired this week's Glenn TV special in which Glenn takes a deep dive into our war on energy. Biden and the progressive Left's radical green agenda is not only shutting down our reliable energy, plunging us towards a nationwide energy crisis, but moreover, we are shutting down reliable energy AROUND THE WORLD.

But there's hope—there are things you can do NOW to stop this dangerous agenda. There are 14 states that are actively pushing for legislation that will fight against the Left's energy agenda. Moreover, on this episode, Glenn invites viewers to send Utah's House bill to their governor's desk, urging them to replicate its protections against this woke agenda.

Do your own homework

Send THIS Utah bill to YOUR governor to protect U.S. energy

On this week's episode of Glenn TV, Glenn will dive into Biden's radical green energy agenda hidden within the Inflation Reduction Act. From shutting down coal plants to forcing fossil fuel economies to transition to green energy, the Biden administration and the radical Left are knowingly pushing us toward a devastating energy crisis.

But there is still time to fight back—YOU can fight for U.S. energy.

During the episode, Glenn will encourage his listeners to send THIS Utah House bill to your governor's desk and urge them to replicate it in your state. The bill mandates that power companies must notify the state if they intend to shut down reliable energy sources AND that they can not prevent coal-powered energy production. This might be the first SUCCESSFUL state-level pushback against Biden’s irresponsible transformation of our energy grid. Don't let it be the last. It's vitally important that you send the bill—which can be found HERE and below in the slideshow—to your governor and demand that they replicate it in your state.

Be sure to watch the latest episode of Glenn TV TONIGHT and stay tuned to get access to the EXCLUSIVE documents with the research used in the episode.
