GLENN: Well, here's an episode that I would really like to lose. Because once you -- luckily, it's radio. So you're not going to be able to see this. But as you're listening to it.
PAT: It's unbelievable.
GLENN: Realize it's 100 times worse when you actually are watching it.
PAT: This actually happened on a Netflix original show.
JEFFY: Yes.
GLENN: This is something we feel necessary to say. This actually -- in today's world --
PAT: It really happened.
GLENN: Think of this.
PAT: Happened.
GLENN: In today's world, where honestly, space aliens could -- Anderson Cooper could go on TV tonight and lift up his eyelid and pull it over his head and reveal himself as an alien, and we would be like, "Huh."
JEFFY: Should have seen this one.
GLENN: In this atmosphere, we have to say, this actually happened.
STU: Yeah. I mean, in all seriousness, it's one of the worst three minutes of entertainment put together. And, by the way, we have five of the top ten, so we know --
GLENN: This is our category. We have all of -- yeah, we're lifetime achievement winners when it comes to bad entertainment.
STU: Yes, this is the worst thing I may have ever seen.
PAT: Have you ever seen -- I didn't even know he had a Netflix show, but called Bill Nye Saves the World?
JEFFY: Yeah.
PAT: Who knew? And why the hell did Netflix put him on? What is the draw of this guy? I don't understand it.
GLENN: Okay stop here's Bill Nye the Science Guy. And he's going to introduce something that you, of course, know.
PAT: This is amazing.
GLENN: And warning, kids -- warning, if you have kids in the room --
PAT: Yeah, it's a little harsh.
GLENN: It has dicey language in it. It's all technical science language.
STU: No.
GLENN: But the song is -- remember, and we're the science denier.
PAT: Uh-huh.
GLENN: We're the ones denying science. This is on the science stage this weekend, my vagina has a voice.
VOICE: So you guys, seriously, this next thing I feel is very special.
PAT: It's very special.
VOICE: This is a cool little segment. You know this woman from Crazy Ex-girlfriend. Please give it up for Rachel Bloom.
GLENN: I didn't know Crazy Ex-girlfriend.
PAT: I don't know her, but...
VOICE: This one goes out to all my bipeds who identify as ladies!
PAT: Okay. For all the bipeds who identify as ladies because that's as close as we could come to calling you something that sort of identifies a human being.
GLENN: Women. Okay. So wait. That's what she said? For all you bipeds that identify as ladies.
PAT: Bipeds that identify as ladies.
GLENN: Okay. All right. But we're the science deniers.
(singing)
VOICE: My vagina has its own voice.
PAT: Wow.
(singing)
VOICE: Sometimes I do my voice for my vagina. Please, tell me I'm not the only one who does that.
(laughter)
GLENN: Stop. I believe that laughter is piped in.
PAT: Oh, it had to be.
STU: Really?
GLENN: I believe that --
PAT: I think it had to be.
GLENN: Well, they didn't mic the crowd.
PAT: I don't know if there even is a crowd. Is there a crowd there?
STU: I thought there was a live audience there. I mean, he seems to be talking to them at the beginning. It seems like it's a variety show.
PAT: Is he talking to us at home?
GLENN: I don't know.
PAT: I've never seen the show.
GLENN: I don't know. I've never seen it either.
VOICE: (singing) Much more than either.
PAT: So bad.
VOICE: (singing)
May have some butt stuff. It's evolution. Ain't nothing new.
PAT: Wow.
VOICE: (singing)
(music)
French treasure. 'Cause my sex joke is so (singing) more.
(music)
If they're alive, I'll date them. Channing or Jenna Tatum. I'm down for anything. Don't box in my box. Give someone new a handy and give yourself props.
VOICE: Oh, you think you're so smart. Did you learn gay in college?
VOICE: (singing) with all of that while I drop some knowledge. Sexuality is --
(music)
GLENN: Okay. Stop.
PAT: Has there been anything worst ever broadcast?
STU: Ever. Ever.
PAT: Ever. I don't think so.
GLENN: Yeah, but listen to the message.
PAT: Oh, it's science, Glenn.
GLENN: I know. My vagina has a voice.
PAT: They're singing science.
GLENN: Hey, are you? I'm Bill. Bill the vagina. Yesterday I was Carol. But today I'm Bill the vagina. Taking your calls now. Hello. I'm listening. Go ahead. Yes, Peter. Come in a little closer. What were you saying?
(laughter)
GLENN: I mean, jeez.
STU: Is that the voice she does -- is that the voice she does?
GLENN: How are you doing? Give us a whoa. Let me tell you something.
STU: That is really --
GLENN: I was vomiting out a child the other day. Oh, my gosh. Split my face wide open.
STU: Oh, okay. This is why --
(laughter)
STU: The issue here is -- no.
GLENN: If a vagina could talk, this is what it would be saying.
STU: Okay.
PAT: I think maybe it should stop talking.
STU: Yeah, no. I think that was the good --
GLENN: What, are you ashamed of me?
PAT: Yes.
STU: We are ashamed of you. Yes. Very ashamed of you.
And, again, now we've broken the record of Bill Nye for the worst moment in broadcast history, which I'm glad you reclaimed the title.
GLENN: Holy cow. Right. Thank you.
STU: It's interesting because a lot of people are offended over the content and message of that. Which she's saying -- basically saying I can't be assigned a sex.
PAT: And that's science?
STU: That's science somehow.
PAT: That's science. Jeez, man.
STU: But really, I'm much more offended at how terrible it is. Like, I don't -- they could be saying anything, and I don't think it would overcome just how awful a production it is.
PAT: No, it's unbelievably bad.
STU: It's horrific. What could they possibly have been thinking?
GLENN: You're still freaking out that my vagina has a voice.
STU: No, I know. I am.
GLENN: But my butthole has a stink beyond your wildest imagination.
STU: You've set the record already. You don't need to further it. This is like --
GLENN: Whoa. Whoa.
(laughter)
STU: This is like, you've already scored 101 points. You don't need to go for 130. Wilt. It's like, let's just calm down.
(laughter)
GLENN: Wow.
STU: That is absolutely unbelievable though. I mean, I seriously -- how in good conscience as a person who works in the entertainment industry, how could you let that on the air? That's something you light fire to the tapes before they get it to Netflix?
GLENN: No, here's the thing -- here's the thing: Netflix has spent a lot of money on that. There's nobody at Netflix that goes, yeah, well, my head has a mouth. And my mouth has a voice. You're fired. Get out. Get out.
STU: Well, I think the point with Netflix is, it's not like they're broadcasting -- this is -- it's the benefit of Netflix. They could put a bunch of crap on there too. They have a lot of great points.
GLENN: Yeah, but at some point, doesn't some shareholder go, come on?
JEFFY: And they might. They might. This is one season.
STU: But this doesn't cancel -- no one cancels a subscription over this, do they?
GLENN: No, no. Because there's so many other great shows. And so maybe it brings in some crazy nutjob liberal that subscribes and thinks it good. Maybe Bill Nye -- someone in Bill Nye's family subscribes because of this show.
GLENN: But here's the -- here's the problem: This is why -- I mean, are you seeing anybody who is conservative? Crazy, doing a show like that.
STU: No. And thank God!
GLENN: No, I know that. But they'll put anything on as long as it's liberal. As long as it's liberal, progressive, it doesn't matter. You know, the idea that the left has gone over after Fox News -- you're only thinning the herd. By making -- by making conservative views a pariah. What you do is you only allow the strongest or the craziest to stand.
And so we -- we'll stand. I'm telling you, we're going to continue to stand, even if I have to do it under a tree. I'm going to be doing -- I'm going to be saying my view under a tree, if it's only with three people. That's okay. You're not shutting me up. But the ones who last -- after you clear out -- if you make it uncomfortable for the normal people to say something, the only ones that are left are the truly dedicated or the nutjobs that will just get some other nutjob to pay for it.
STU: Well, that and, of course, obviously all the vaginas with voices. They'll always speak out. They're always there to speak out to America.
GLENN: Yeah. My vagina has a voice, but conservatives don't.
We should write a song.
STU: My vagina has a voice, but conservatives don't.
PAT: May have just broken the V-word record of all time too, right here.
GLENN: No, no. I don't believe so.
STU: It's possible. Again, in a science discussion, these things are allowed.
PAT: Pretty close.
Lamentations asks, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?”
That question has been weighing on me heavily. Not just as a broadcaster, but as a citizen, a father, a husband, a believer. It is a question that every person who cares about this nation, this culture, and this civilization must confront: Is all of this worth saving?
Western civilization — a project born in Judea, refined in Athens, tested in Rome, reawakened in Wittenberg, and baptized again on the shores of Plymouth Rock — is a gift. We didn’t earn it. We didn’t purchase it. We were handed it. And now, we must ask ourselves: Do we even want it?
Across Europe, streets are restless. Not merely with protests, but with ancient, festering hatred — the kind that once marched under swastikas and fueled ovens. Today, it marches under banners of peace while chanting calls for genocide. Violence and division crack societies open. Here in America, it’s left against right, flesh against spirit, neighbor against neighbor.
Truth struggles to find a home. Even the church is slumbering — or worse, collaborating.
Our society tells us that everything must be reset: tradition, marriage, gender, faith, even love. The only sin left is believing in absolute truth. Screens replace Scripture. Entertainment replaces education. Pleasure replaces purpose. Our children are confused, medicated, addicted, fatherless, suicidal. Universities mock virtue. Congress is indifferent. Media programs rather than informs. Schools recondition rather than educate.
Is this worth saving? If not, we should stop fighting and throw up our hands. But if it is, then we must act — and we must act now.
What is the West? It’s not a location, race, flag, or a particular constitution. The West is an idea — an idea that man is made in the image of God, that liberty comes from responsibility, not government; that truth exists; that evil exists; and that courage is required every day. The West teaches that education, reason, and revelation walk hand in hand. Beauty matters. Kindness matters. Empathy matters. Sacrifice is holy. Justice is blind. Mercy is near.
We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.
If not now, when? If not us, who? If this is worth saving, we must know why. Western civilization is worth dying for, worth living for, worth defending. It was built on the blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, pilgrims, moms, dads, and soldiers. They did not die for markets, pronouns, surveillance, or currency. They died for something higher, something bigger.

Yet hope remains. Resurrection is real — not only in the tomb outside Jerusalem, but in the bones of any individual or group that returns to truth, honor, and God. It is never too late to return to family, community, accountability, and responsibility.
We were chosen for this time. We were made for a moment like this. The events unfolding in Europe and South Korea, the unrest and moral collapse, will all come down to us. Somewhere inside, we know we were called to carry this fire.
We are not called to win. We are called to stand. To hold the torch. To ask ourselves, every day: Is it worth standing? Is it worth saving?
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Pick up your torch. If you choose to carry it, buckle up. The work is only beginning.

Last year, my wife and I made a commitment: to stop coasting, to learn something new every day, and to grow — not just spiritually, but intellectually. Charlie Kirk’s tragic death crystallized that resolve. It forced a hard look in the mirror, revealing how much I had coasted in both my spiritual and educational life. Coasting implies going downhill. You can’t coast uphill.
Last night, my wife and I re-engaged. We enrolled in Hillsdale College’s free online courses, inspired by the fact that Charlie had done the same. He had quietly completed around 30 courses before I even knew, mastering the classics, civics, and the foundations of liberty. Watching his relentless pursuit of knowledge reminded me that growth never stops, no matter your age.
This lesson is particularly urgent for two groups: young adults stepping into the world and those who may have settled into complacency. Learning is life. Stop learning, and you start dying. To young adults, especially, the college promise has become a trap. Twelve years of K-12 education now leave graduates unprepared for life. Only 35% of seniors are proficient in reading, and just 22% in math. They are asked to bet $100,000 or more for four years of college that will often leave them underemployed and deeply indebted.
Degrees in many “new” fields now carry negative returns. Parents who have already sacrificed for public education find themselves on the hook again, paying for a system that often fails to deliver.
This is one of the reasons why Charlie often described college as a “scam.” Debt accumulates, wages are not what students were promised, doors remain closed, and many are tempted to throw more time and money after a system that won’t yield results. Graduate school, in many cases, compounds the problem. The education system has become a factory of despair, teaching cynicism rather than knowledge and virtue.
Yet the solution is not radical revolt against education — it is empowerment to reclaim agency over one’s education. Independent learning, self-guided study, and disciplined curiosity are the modern “Napster moment.” Just as Napster broke the old record industry by digitizing music, the internet has placed knowledge directly in the hands of the individual. Artists like Taylor Swift now thrive outside traditional gatekeepers. Likewise, students and lifelong learners can reclaim intellectual freedom outside of the ivory towers.
Each individual possesses the ability to think, create, and act. This is the power God grants to every human being. Knowledge, faith, and personal responsibility are inseparable. Learning is not a commodity to buy with tuition; it is a birthright to claim with effort.

Charlie Kirk’s life reminds us that self-education is an act of defiance and empowerment. In his pursuit of knowledge, in his engagement with civics and philosophy, he exemplified the principle that liberty depends on informed, capable citizens. We honor him best by taking up that mantle — by learning relentlessly, thinking critically, and refusing to surrender our minds to a system that profits from ignorance.
The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures. Every day, seek to grow, create, and act. Charlie showed the way. It is now our responsibility to follow.
