Davos elites CONFRONTED by citizen journalist. Here are the BIGGEST takeaways

Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future and "misinformation" is their greatest concern. But Rebel News founder Ezra Levant is on the ground to expose them. Ezra joins Glenn live from the streets of Davos to describe what he's seen, starting with a disturbing contradiction: While global elites want to restrict your air travel, they have no problem flooding the local airport with planes. Ezra discusses some of the "Masters of the Universe" that he's been able to question on the streets, including the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also reveals the main thing he's learned while in Davos and why he believes that a lot more censorship is coming.

GLENN: All right. Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future, and it sounds great. The number one priority is not global climate change. It's not wars. It's not inflation. It's not food. It's nothing except misinformation and disinformation. And they're trying to get all the global leaders to come together like this. And make sure that the voices, quite honestly, like mine and TheBlaze and people like Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Canada, are silent. Yesterday, at the conference, there was a meeting on, how do we shut these people up?

And the head of the Center of Democracy and Technology, his name is Alex Reeve Givens. He said, there's something bizarre happening in America. Listen to this.

VOICE: Even as we're living in this heightened threat environment. A number of the social media companies have actually been scaling back their investments and trust in safety.

In particular, around elections. And those that are still keeping up the work, are facing more political scrutiny and pressure to disband those efforts than of before.

So in the United States, for example. We have congressional investigations and lawsuits against people that study mis and disinformation about elections on social media platforms.

There is currently an injunction in place stopping the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about interference threats, on the topics of elections.

That's actually going before the United States Supreme Court this year.

So we're in this bizarre environment, where right as the threats are ticking up, the investments in actually doing the day-to-day work of online trust and safety for our information environment is being scaled back, and is under attack.

And those are all things we need to recalibrate right now, to try to address the threats.

GLENN: Yeah. Sorry. I thought for sure, Alex identified as a man. Apparently, he's now identifying as a woman.

It is bizarre, that we don't want government. It's just out in our Constitution.

But other than that, don't worry about it.

We have Ezra Levant, who is on the ground, in the cold right now, at the World Economic Forum at Davos. How are the hookers, Ezra?

EZRA: I'm the wrong guy to ask, Glenn. A friend of mine did a story of how every single escort within 100 miles was booked up by the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're good people. They're good people.

EZRA: You know what, this is a place of excess.

Let me give you an example: There's a small private airfield about an hour and a half away from here. And I went there to film the private jets landing.

And the airport told me that 150 private jets per day land at this air trip, just for the World Economic Forum. They say that one week basically pays for the entire year.

That's like a city of half a million people. That's how many flights might be there in an average day. And it's more than that.

There's not enough room to park 150 jets of this small airfield.

So they fly in, drop off the VVIP. Then they fly out to another airfield to park, and then they come back to pick up their person.

And then many of them take the helicopter for that last one hour drive. To not be on the streets with the peasants. That's the kind of luxury you see here. But they're the ones telling us to reduce our carbon footprint. They're the ones telling us not to fly as much.

Let me tell you what we're doing here.

We are not accredited journalists. We applied, and they obviously rejected us.

And that's fine, so we can't get into the sessions like the one you just played the clip from. The word on the street in this town in Davos, which is like a ski resort, high in the Alps. And it's full of -- I'm not going to say celebrities. But sort of political celebrities. And because they feel like they're amongst friends and it's so hard to get here, they let their guard down. So just standing on the street and reading name tags, some people you can recognize. Like yesterday, I asked some questions of John Kerry about the private jet. Today, my colleague Abby, asked Dr. Tedros of the World Health Organization some questions.

So these people don't have big entourages. And the Swiss police have a very light touch.

Penny Pritzker was here. And I asked her some questions about Harvard.

And so, there's no way you would get this kind of access in almost any other place.

And I will say, the cops here are so gentle. They have not stopped us from scrumming anyone.

Yesterday, I walked with the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, peppering him with questions. He did not have any answers. But, boy, I asked my questions. And that video has been viewed a million times overnight, Glenn.

I tell you, it's a crazy place where the masters of the universe get together to make the rules for the rest of us, and there's only about half a dozen citizen journalists here. The rest of them are regime journalists, who pay to be here as official delegates.

So I saw, for example, Richard Quest from CNN. I think he's a great idealist 90 percent of the time, by the way. But we scrummed him going in there. And we said, how come you only ask softball questions of Klaus Schwab?

Well, it's because CNN paid a quarter of a million dollars for them to get in, as sort of a member.

You're not going to stink up the joint, if you have the golden invitation.

GLENN: I don't know. I might pay.

I might pay for that.

You might write the check to go and have all of them come on my show.

EZRA: Well, they might kick you out if you do that. By the way, I'm standing in the promenade, and a huge bunch of military vehicles are passing through. I'm not sure if that's just normal Switzerland stuff, or if that's because Vladimir Zelinsky is in town. And Emanuel Macron is in town. And the Secretary General of the United Nations is in town. These aren't just VIPs. They're VVIPs and VVVIPs. And they let you know it.

GLENN: So what is the main thing you've taken from this?

EZRA: Well, look, there are some people here that are just here to sell goods and services. Because there are so many politicians. And wow, there's such a military convoy going through downtown here. I don't even know what's happening. Maybe Zelinsky is on the move.

I mean, wanted to tell you that, I'm live from the promenade in Davos right now, and I just -- and it's like a whole military, not a parade. But a series of big trucks. Imagine juxtaposing that with your five-star celebrities.

Anyway, the number one message, as Klaus Schwab says, is information.

They say their theme is rebuilding trust.

Which -- because they know they've shattered trust with ordinary people, over the last few years. Whether it's COVID or lockdowns. Or junk science. Or inflation. Or immigration. Or whatever.

So they know they have to fix trust. But at the same time, they believe in censorship. I scrummed a few different officials with meta.

And my colleague was scrumming an official from Google, just a minute ago.

And all our questions are about: Are they trying to strangle free discussions in the year of the 2024 elections?

Every one of them is aware of Trump's victory in the Iowa caucuses. And I'm talking about people all around the world.

This is not just Americans. This is a very international.

GLENN: Oh, no.

My understanding, is that yesterday, a lot of the discussions at Davos, centered around, this is a real threat to our agenda.

This can't happen.

EZRA: Oh, oh, absolutely.

If you were to take a poll of the VVIPs here at Davos, 90 percent of them would be against Trump.

Not necessarily for Biden.

They're just for anyone who wouldn't upset the international order that they've established here.

And so, basically these Europeans and these globalists, and these elites, want to have a vote, without having a vote.

Here's what I mean. For example, Klaus Schwab recently said, AI is so progressed.

You don't really need elections anymore. Because AI can figure out what the people want.

I have seen WEF presentations about how AI, Artificial Intelligence, can replace courts and judges.

Because you just enter all the data, and they will just replicate what a good judge would do.

So the real political bias in artificial intelligence.

I said, those are the two emphases I can see just on the streets here.

Censorship of the, quote, misinformation.
And artificial intelligence. When you combine those two things, and I saw, you're in a Brave New World right there.

GLENN: So, Ezra, I want to talk to you about one thing that came to my attention yesterday.

There's a story in the independent, climate misinformation is mutating on YouTube, and the platform is profiting.

And it is a story, that mentioned two people. One of them is me and TheBlaze.

And TheBlaze, I guess, is making money from YouTube, because they're not canceling us, and putting us where we belong. Which is nowhere.

Because we are discussing things like climate crisis denial content.

We also -- we're talking about the -- the last election.

And saying that the last election had many questions, behind it.

The Great Reset. An online conspiracy theory. That claims global elites trying to dismantle capitalism, and create a new social order.

Which they are.

And the other person was Jordan Peterson.

Now, they're -- they're targeting us, through Google and Facebook. My Facebook page is down 95 percent in the best year I've ever had, including the years at Fox.

Never had a bigger footprint than thousand. But Facebook is down 95 percent.

Why?

The other thing. The other part of it is -- is -- yeah. Go ahead.

KEVIN: That's deliberate. They're trying to demonetize you.

We scrummed Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of ADL.

And we asked them, why have you tried to kill advertising on Twitter, but never on TikTok?

And he wouldn't answer that. So that's why they're trying to do to you and Jordan Peterson.

And, by the way, they will invent new, quote, crimes.

I saw this phrase ecocide, being bandied about here.

So the same way, you couldn't be a skeptic or have a contrary point of view on COVID evacuation, they will do the same thing for climate. They basically telegraphed that that's the plan.

GLENN: Well, one of the -- one of the disturbing things. They did this last year, to Russell Brand. You don't even see him anymore.

He is still doing a podcast, but he never shows up on anyone's feed.

When was the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?

EZRA: Well, I seek them out. But you're right, they're trying to kill him financially.

GLENN: Correct. And the next thing is Jordan Peterson. He lost in court, yesterday, his appeal on having to go to some sort of reeducation camp. Because he said, and this is a quote.

The -- the woman who was obese, on Sports Illustrated bikini, was not beautiful. It was sick. And now he has to have reeducation.

EZRA: Yeah. And that's -- that's in some ways, a lot scarier. The woke economic forum is a bunch of people coming up with bad ideas. But they don't actually have the legal or judicial power to enforce them.

The trouble is all the VVIPs here go home, and go home to their legislatures or courts or businesses, and implement it back home. But the WEF itself doesn't have the power to do that here in Davos. But what you're talking about, what happened to Jordan Peterson, that was a real court. And the college of psychologists of Ontario is a regulator, that has the power to deny someone their profession.

Now, Jordan Peterson doesn't take patients anymore. He hasn't in many years.

But they're trying to destroy his professional reputation.

Again, the colleges there for doctors who were abusive, or who take advantage of their clients. You know, it's a professional organization to make sure that psychologists in Ontario are amicable. They are using that for lawfare, to silence him on completely unrelated matters.

And it's not atrocious that they're meddling with his political views. It's their command, their order to him, is that he basically go to a political reeducation. I mean, he has to go to some, I don't know, what the phrase is, a coach, or a remedial social media class or something.

GLENN: Yeah. Whatever the Chinese call it, it's still a reeducation camp.

And here's -- here's the --

EZRA: Struggle session.

GLENN: Yeah. And here is my struggle. I wonder who used that.

The -- the other thing though, that is disturbing, is they are trying to scare doctors into silence. They have already purged all of the doctors that would say something about the COVID vaccine.

The nurses, all of them. Anyone with a conscience, that's different with the state. They're purging them. That's very dangerous, as you know.

EZRA: What Jordan Peterson, he's the most famous psychologist in Canada. He's also very wealthy. And in some ways influential and powerful. So if they can do this to him, imagine what they can do to you. This is (foreign language). This is to scare everybody else. Yeah. They want to shut up Jordan Peterson. I don't know if they'll succeed. That guy doesn't shut up easily.

But what they're going to do is terrify a thousand other psychologists and doctors and nurses. You know, there happens to be another nurse in the Canadian province of British Columbia, who sponsored a sign that just said, I heart J.K. Rowling. But that's all she did. They took her before the professional association for the same sort of thing.

And so how many nurses, how many doctors, how many people of any profession are being terrorized into silence? And it's all part of the same cultural Marxism. Or wokism.

Hey, yesterday.

I scrummed the president of State Street. Do you know what that is?

It's BlackRock. It's a huge asset manager.

And I asked him. That's what it is like in Davos. You never know what you will bump into.

And I said to him, aren't you putting your own politics of your fiduciary duties to -- to your show. I said, you're promoting ESG, environmental and social governance, basically cultural Marxism. I said, how can you do that and claim to be a response to the shareholders.

GLENN: His response?

EZRA: Well, he said, we're doing both. He said, we're not going to stop with ESG. But it's shareholder value.

GLENN: Right. Okay. Quickly.

EZRA: I pressed on. And he wouldn't talk much more.

GLENN: Yeah.

EZRA: But that's what Davos is like, in the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Thank you so much. Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Switzerland right now, with the elites.

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…

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.

SHOCKING: Glenn Beck Interviews 'Detransitioner' Deceived by Doctors

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.
