Anti-Trump media IGNORES the ACTUAL 'dictator' threat

The Left has ramped up its crusade to paint former president Donald Trump as a dictator wannabe. In a recent op-ed in the Washington Post, writer Robert Kagan attempted to lay out a "solution" to this alleged problem. And apparently, it involves rallying around Nikki Haley. But Glenn has a few issues with Kagan's argument. For example, Glenn argues, the real "dictator" the Left should fear is the Deep State, not Donald Trump: "It is the biggest violation of individual rights and the Constitution in the history of our country. And that should be frightening to both Left and Right."

GLENN: So Robert Kagan wrote an op-ed. I just want to read it to you. In an essay I wrote last week, I painted a grim picture of the prospects for a dictatorship in the United States.

Well, some readers were unhappy that I didn't offer a solution.

What follows is an attempt at one. And if it seems like a long shot, it is. Because our options today are harder and fewer, because we passed up so many better and easier alternatives in the past.

So, in other words, it's like, hey, we should cut the budget now. Before we don't have any options left.

Is that what you're saying, Robert?

I want to make sure. Nor was it for a lack of knowing what needed to get done. It wouldn't have taken a miracle for Republicans to unite around a single non-Trump candidate in 2016, or for ten more Republican senators to vote to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.

Got it?

The problem has never been knowing what to do. It's been doing it.

In the past, stopping Trump has required people taking risks, and making sacrifices, that they didn't want to make.

Whether out of selfishness, father or ambition.

Or the fact that they thought they were right. You know, that does exist.

I just want to take a moment here. And point out that some did. When they that thought Trump was going to be, you know, everything that I guess you would want him to be. Some of us did speak out. And you know what happened? We were proven wrong by the facts. Now, others out of selfishness, fear, spiritual, political, or historic blindness, or simply because they benefit from business as usual, or perhaps they think it's true, they still to this day, remain in denial.

Those Never Trumpers.

And, you know, many times, it's not even because it's a conscious choice. It's the result of mass delusion.

Cognitive grooming. Or self-imposed ignorance.

Usually. Now, some people don't like Donald Trump. Some people don't like the way he handles things.

However, most people will agree, if it wasn't Donald Trump, wow!

He's a lot better than this last guy.

Huh?

Now, he goes on. Today, the challenges are even greater. But there's little evidence that the people we need to rise to the indication, are any more likely to do so, than they have for the past eight years. Here's several things people could do to save the country, but most certainly won't do.

Because they selfishly refuse to put their own ambitions at risk, to save our democracy.

It's not a democracy! Know the difference. The first step is to consolidate all of the anti-Trump forces into the Republican Party behind a single candidate.

And right now, it is obvious, that that candidate should be Nikki Haley.

And not because she's pro-Ukraine. Definitely not that. Did I say that out loud?

Definitely not that. But because she's clearly the most capable politician, among the best remaining candidates. And the performer with a real chance. However slim, of challenging Trump.

Okay. Now, let me ask you this:

Well, first of all. Let me point out. She's not the obvious candidate, for most Republicans. She's the obvious candidate for 19 percent of the Republicans. That's the latest poll.

The problem that Nikki has, that Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis do not have. Is that they are standing up for what people, the vast majority of Republicans, actually believe.

They have also both proven themselves as the advisory of the Deep State. And the end of politics, as usual, in the G.O.P.

So the real numbers of Trump supporters, at this time, is Trump plus DeSantis.

You fail to recognize that.

He goes.

All the money and endorsement should shift to hers, as quickly as possible. Yes. Ron DeSantis is likely too selfish and ambitious to drop out of the race.

Really? Or he thinks he's rate.

But if everybody else does and the remaining money and support all flow to Haley, he will quickly become irrelevant.

Now, I'm wondering if this is why the Democrats are beginning to back Nikki Haley's campaign. Will they continue to back that campaign, or is that just for the primary?

It won't be enough, however, to rally the forces behinds Haley. Even if she were to get every vote that is now spread among the other Trump candidates. And she won't. It won't be close to enough to challenge Trump.

Why? Why?

Until now, she's been gathering support at the expense of other non-Trump candidates.

To make a serious run for the nomination, she'll also have to cut into the more 50 percent of the party that now seem solidly behind Trump.

Okay. The only way she could do this, is if she was the nominee. But even then, I'm not sure of those, that have been mocked, feel they've been lied to.

Ignored by the G.O.P. establishment.

All of those people -- again, Trump plus DeSantis, that's probably about 70 percent.

I don't know if any of those people would vote for somebody who even had the hint of establishment. Or someone, you guys wanted.

See, this is the real problem.

50 to 72 percent of Republicans, know what is happening isn't right.

We know that our spending is out of control.

And we know that the G.O.P. was part of it. Is part of it.

We know that these wars will never end.

If we leave it up to the parties and military-industrial complex. They will never end.

And the G.O.P. is part of it. We know that Washington is on the take. Not just Joe Biden and the Democrats. Although, that's a pretty stunning case.

But many of the G.O.P. leaders as well. We know that last or right. Bush, Clinton, or Biden.

If you're a globalist, you can get away with murder.

If you're not, look out, because others may be plotting to murder you. Seventy plus percent of Republicans, know that Trump is now, and this is no exaggeration.

The most investigated man in all of human history. And this is what you've got? To stop him, they result to victimless crime.

Meaning, he inflated his worth for a loan. At Deutsche Bank.

Really? When does Deutsche Bank become this little innocent victim?

By the way, Deutsche Bank testified, they weren't a victim in this.

They knew that. Russia, Clinton, well, Russia. Clinton actually started. The NSA, CIA ran it. The Deep state executed that whole thing.

Then Ukraine, and if you want to go to January 6th, there seems to be mounting evidence now, that hmm. That isn't all that there is.

The left did an incredible job keeping this quiet for as long as they could.

But the truth will always set you free.

Meanwhile, actual money, in the millions, has gone into the hands of our president, and family.

And they're not hearing anything about that.

By the way, that 70 percent, I think would be open to a candidate, to another candidate.

If other people were treated the way, that you treat Donald Trump.

Or better yet, you treat Donald Trump, like you treat everyone else.

For some reason, those who see what the FBI, NSA. Deep State have done to Donald Trump.

And is currently doing under this administration.

Is the biggest violation of individual rights. And the Constitution, in the history of our country.

And that should be frightening to both left and right.

And even those who are politically agnostic.

Yet, those people are called fascists. While those who champion illegal wiretapping, silencing free speech.

Now with new cognitive security, they silence dissent, and work to destroy those who disagree. And literally cognitive security.

Brainwash. And those people are somehow called by you, the defenders of democracy?

Well, I mean, perhaps they are. As democracy always end with a strong man.

But that's why we have a republic. But when those elected represent the people over and over again.

When those people come in, they're elected to represent the people. Over their own gain and interests.

When they don't look for anything, but their own gain, and their own interests, people look for somebody who will listen and act in their children's behalf.

But if the power that is in Washington, that movement, if it crushes those people, history shows us, that the cycle and the pattern repeat, until a strong man is found. And most Americans, and I would say at least 70 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of independents and maybe -- maybe polls show 60 percent of Democrats? Don't want a strong man. On either side.

Now, he continues. The Trump supporters will fall roughly into three categories.

The great majority are just completely committed to what the former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman has called, the cult of Trump.

And they are out of reach for Haley.

Another smaller group has no problem with Trump. So long as he can beat President Biden and the Democrats next year.

Oh, it's kind of like you, having no problem voting for a guy you know is incapable of running the -- the country.

Just because it's Donald Trump. I know it's so different, isn't it?

By the way, it's not a cult. A cult is brainwashed. Trump supporters, many of them only see the reality they're living in.

They see clearly, what those on the left refuse to see.

And they see clearly, the things that most, if not all elite Never Trumpers will never admit to seeing.

This faction has undoubtedly been reassured by polls that say Trump can win, so the -- so the possibility that Haley can also beat Biden is irrelevant to them.

They prefer Trump, and there's no reason for them to rethink their position. So long as Trump remains clearly electable. Wow, you know what, this paragraph really reveals who the author is.

More in just a second. First, you know what it's like living in pain, so let me tell you about Relief Factor.

If you're living in pain every single day. It has a hold on you.

And I understand. Imagine getting up every day. And walking out the door. Without dragging that heavy burden of pain you with.

That could be your reality.

It was mine. And it is now mine.

Relief Factor isn't a drug. It's a daily supplement, that helps your body fight the pain by fighting inflammation.

100 percent drug-free. Developed by doctors to help reduce or eliminate pain. And over a million people have tried Relief Factor's Quick Start. And 70 percent of them have gone on to order again. It's only 19.95.

And it comes with Relief Factor's feel better or your money-back guarantee.

So why not give it a try?

It's ReliefFactor.com.

Or call them at 1-800-4-Relief.

1-800-4-Relief. There's no better gift for yourself and your loved one than feeling good again.

ReliefFactor.com.

Ten-second station ID.
(music)
Wow. This -- this faction, he writes, is undoubtedly reassured by polls that say Trump can win. So the possibility that Haley can also beat bide citizen irrelevant to them.

They prefer Trump. And there's no reason for them to rethink their position. So long as Trump remains clearly electable.

Wow. So what you're saying, unless we can come up with a crime, we can convict him of.

This is your problem, on the left.

There is no difference between causation, and correlation.

In the case of Trump. Only getting stronger, every time, the left charges him with another bogus crime.

I mean, honestly, the media -- you know, should have learned this in 2016.

Would have been better if you just ignored him.

But you can't help yourself. Which only makes him stronger, as -- as -- as you keep saying, he's got to be stopped.

For what?

For what?

Stopped for what. Because fascism is already here.

It's why you can smear in the press, with the help of government agencies.

It's why you only want PC judges to hear your case against Trump.

It's why you have to go to social media to get them to silence anyone who disagrees with you.

It's fascism.

And, by the way, you're telling us, you fear him the most.

Any American who is awake may not even like Trump's style or what he's done. But if you fear him, well, he's the right guy for me, huh?

He's the right guy for people who believe in fairness or the Bill of Rights.

Now, the problem with this, is your lefty school teacher unions. And your lefty universities. Have so corrupted the education regarding the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

To further your goal of a communist, fascist, or some sort of totalitarian state. That those who are on the right, many of us, who are now fighting for the opposite of you, may not even be fighting for liberty and justice from all.

Because they don't even know what that means. You failed to teach the Bill of Rights.

And how it's supposed to apply, to all people.

Finally, he says, there's a small percentage of Republicans who say, they will support Trump, unless he's convicted.

Wow.

Haley, therefore, has no chance of getting more than a small fraction of Trump's current supporters to add to her collection of Trump's skeptical Republicans.

She might make a respectable showing as number two. Thus, setting her up to be Trump's vice presidential nominee, if he will have her.

In which case, her entire campaign will have been largely for show. Indeed, it will have served chiefly as a conveyer belt for Trump skeptics, to get on board with the Trump train in the end.

Now, wouldn't that be rich?

If that happens, you on the left, will have to change from Nikki can save us, to Nikki is worse than Trump.

Now, how can I predict that?

Well, George Bush was Hitler, if you remember. Well, so was Ronald Reagan.

But George Bush was Hitler. And then John McCain was worse.

Men Mitt Romney was worse than Hitler and John McCain combined. Then Trump once again was returned to Hitler.

And you have already announced that Ron DeSantis is worse than Hitler/Trump.

So, I mean, what's really funny. The only people that are worse in real life than Hitler, were Stalin and Mao.

One of which, you and your universities completely ignore his atrocities. And the other, had a president glorify and even hang a Christmas ball with Mao's face on it, at the White House Christmas tree.

Anyway, this author goes on to the Washington Post. If that's what she's up to, then the joke will be on the Koch Network, JP Morgan Chase, and Jamie Dimon and others who have looked up to her as the last hope for stopping Trump.

Oh, well. You know, in that list, you failed to mention BlackRock.

Proving the point of 70 percent of voters, nothing will change.

You're clearly for her. But you won't be in the general.

How do I know?

Just look at your track record.

Of John McCain.

Who you loved! Was the ultimate bipartisan guy. But the minute he was the candidate, this guy, who you love, most Republicans didn't. You went crazy on him.

He's Hitler.

Exposing the dangerous roots of queer theory

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.

GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

THIS is why self-reliance may be your ONLY protection from SLAVERY

Are you truly free, or is your life quietly controlled by systems most Americans never question? In this eye-opening conversation, Glenn Beck speaks with investigative journalist Whitney Webb about how the Elites, banks, and global systems have created modern forms of enslavement, all while the public remains largely unaware. They discuss the urgent need for local self-reliance, alternative financial systems, and taking personal responsibility to protect yourself and your family. This is a wake-up call for anyone who believes freedom is guaranteed, and it’s time to see the truth and act before it’s too late.

Claire's warning: The dark side of gender care EXPOSED

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
