Gen Z'er Understands NOTHING About Parenting

Glenn reviews 3 clips that reveal how clueless some Gen Z'ers are. In one clip, a college student is upset that she can't attend her graduation ceremony because of her (probably "mostly peaceful") protesting. Then, there was another protester who praised North Korea for standing with Palestine and Hamas over Israel. But the icing on top of the cake was a young woman who complained about her "narcissistic parents" showing up to every one of her events as a child. But Glenn, Pat, and Stu - all seasoned parents - lay down the truth: That woman has no idea how much her parents sacrificed to be there for her. They didn't do it for themselves. They did it for HER. So, who's the narcissist here?

GLENN: Oh, man. We're just getting back. Pat looks a little peaky today. Because he's at the Madonna concert. We all through town.

STU: What a night.

PAT: Man.

GLENN: It's not worth what we paid for. Which was free. Free.

PAT: We paid zero. Zero dollars.

GLENN: Still a little disappointing at that price. Welcome, Pat. How are you?

PAT: Oh, tired. You know, just getting back from Rio and all. But other than that, doing good.

GLENN: Yeah. That's the only thing that could get you to Rio, too. I'm like, hey, let's go to Rio. And you're like, eh. And I said, Madonna is doing a free concert on the beach.

PAT: Oh, man. Now I'm there.

STU: She might have a bikini on.

PAT: Oh, and just 65 years old. And still as hot as ever.

STU: Maybe not as ever.
(laughter)

PAT: Hmm.

STU: It is --

GLENN: Oh, no. Stop. It's hurting.

STU: She really wants to try to pretend she's 23 still.

PAT: Just let me vomit, Lord, please.

Just let me. Okay. I have something here, that I think is -- well, it's going to cheer you up.

PAT: Good.

GLENN: Two students. Two students.

First, cut four. College student who is a little upset. She was a protester.

And she can't go to her graduation now. Here she is.

PAT: No.

GLENN: I'm being restricted from a lot of things right now. That I didn't expect to be. For standing up something I believe in.

I have family coming in, who I have to let them know. You know, not come to my graduation ceremonies. I'm just disappointed.

I mean, I'm a 2020 high school grad. So I wasn't able to walk then.

GLENN: Oh.

VOICE: And so, you know.

PAT: You know.

VOICE: Here it is. I'm not able to walk now.

GLENN: Yeah. Just walk to a dentist.

VOICE: You said you were standing up for a cause. Would you do it again?

VOICE: I mean, yeah. I would. I was -- I was doing what I believed was right. And I still believe it to be right. So much harm has been done to all of these people.

PAT: All of those people.

VOICE: Already.

GLENN: Give me the people that were raped and stabbed and those people.

PAT: No. Not those people. The other people. The other people who were told to leave, and then they airdropped food.

And then --

GLENN: And then turned on those people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

PAT: Yeah. Those people.

GLENN: Those people. Man. Now, parents, how many times have we said this?

Now, you're going to have to pay the price. Okay?

You're paying the price.

Being a parent. Because you showed up, for all of your kids' activities. Cut five.

VOICE: Am I the only one whose narcissistic parent would show up to every single event I was ever involved in. This is one of those weird ones. Where I always felt like speaking about this behavior negatively, could be perfect saved in the wrong way.

Like my parent was just being supportive. And how lucky was I to have a parent who always showed up. Boo-hoo, your parent was there for you.

But did you also feel like sometimes it was a bit excessive? Especially if it was a bit more of a repetitive thing, where maybe I was doing the same thing on multiple days in a row.

GLENN: Hang on just a second. Cupcake. Just let me just say this.

Yes. We did find it very, very repetitive. Going to every single one of your performances, everyone. Even when you were doing the same thing.

Yes. But we did it, anyway, to show you support.

You narcissistic little piece of crap.

PAT: Hmm.

GLENN: We -- we made effort, to make sure we didn't miss any of them.

Maybe we should have missed some of them.

Maybe we should have.

You know what, go outside and play. Come back when the lights are out.

We'll worry about you. If you don't if come back by 6:00 the next morning.

I mean, you cannot win.

PAT: No, you can't.

GLENN: This generation is so narcissistic, no matter what you did, you showed up, you didn't show up.

STU: Yeah. They're going to complain about it either way. Because there is obviously a thing that has been talked about. The helicopter parenting thing. Is that the complaint here? Just showing up for an event isn't helicopter parenting.

GLENN: No. Showed up for every event. Every event. Every ball fame.

STU: That seems great. Content you want fans at your it became.

PAT: No. It seemed like you wanted to support them. But that's not it. Apparently.

GLENN: You're getting something out of it. You're trying to make yourself look like --

PAT: This makes me look really good. If I go to all your stupid events that I don't want to go to!

GLENN: What you're really doing. Come on. At least guys can be honest about this.

I don't know if women can. There's about half the events, you're like, oh. Right?

PAT: How many recitals do you want to go to? Where you see your kid or your grand kid, for five minutes. And then it's thee hours long.

It's like, okay.

I'd chew my arm out to get out of that.

GLENN: Oh, I had to go to the Nutcracker. The Nutcracker every year. And Cheyenne was in it for like, I don't know. Thee minutes. Look, there she is, dressed as a sugar plumb.

Then that's it. Then I have to watch the rest of it. I could have missed those, but we didn't.

STU: Because you're bad parents, I can't believe you're saying this.

GLENN: Really?

You didn't go. You just skipped some of this stuff.

STU: They never have events at the casino, which is where I am.

It's not my fault.

I mean, look, there are lines too. I think Pat will at least be able to agree with this. It's like, you know, there are certain things that you like, that your kids do.

Like I really like basketball. So I love going to watch my kids play. My daughter is in gymnastics. It's really fun to watch her do her events in gymnastics. I freaking love it.

GLENN: I love it too.

STU: Then there's 9,000 other people going.

PAT: Then it's not as good.

GLENN: I say to my wife all the time, honey, we're sitting in the back. We could leave. We could leave, right now.

Nobody would ever know.

It's not right, we have to support all the other -- no, we don't

No, we don't. We're there to support our kids. Not all those. I don't like those kids. I don't know those kids. But I don't like them. Because I generally don't like other people's kids. Nobody does. If you're honest, nobody likes other people's kids.

PAT: I think that's accurate. That's accurate.

GLENN: Yes. Thank you, Pat. Thank you.

PAT: And I certainly don't like that kid, that we just heard from.

STU: Yes.

PAT: I'm not going to any of her events.

GLENN: Yeah. What would you say if that was your kid?

PAT: Oh, man. I would be.

GLENN: If you saw that?

PAT: I would be a little upset, I believe.

STU: Because you don't realize it when you're a kid, that your parents have lives. Right?

PAT: Yeah. Right.

STU: You don't think of it, as like they're canceling something that they could be doing to come to your thing. You just think of it as that's their job, and they're supposed to be there.

GLENN: I'm going to say something I always hated when I heard it. My mother used to say it. And I know once it's uttered, it happens. Because it's happened to me.

I hope that girl gets four children, exactly like her. Then she'll know. Then she'll know.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: I was just trying to help. I was just trying to show you support.

PAT: Problem is, she's so narcissistic, she won't have any children. It will just be about her.

STU: That's probably a good decision.

GLENN: I love that. I love that. If you're narcissistic, please, don't have children.

PAT: Yeah.

GLENN: You're going to school, and you're battling that nonsense. I don't want you to have children. You would be a horrible, horrible parent.

PAT: These are the kind of idiots that are supporting Hamas.

GLENN: Yeah. It's all about -- it's me, me, me. And all about them.

How could you possibly be.

You're so clueless.

How could you possibly be in the LGBT community.

And standing up for Hamas.

PAT: It doesn't make any sense at all.

GLENN: It doesn't make any sense, unless you're so blind and narcissistic. That all you have to think about is me and my gayness. And I will bring credibility to this movement. It's all about narcissism.

STU: And these stances don't even make sense with each other.

PAT: They don't. They've all been combined here, for some reason. They've all kind of melded into one.

STU: And that's an overall politics thing.

If your team tells you, that you're supposed to support this, then you do for, what? Seventy percent of America.

Like that's terrifying.

GLENN: But wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're saying, it doesn't -- could we please go back?

Pat hasn't heard this. You just go back to cut 45, please. He's saying this doesn't make sense, Pat.

Listen to this.

VOICE: Which side does North Korea support? Palestine or Israel? Discuss.

VOICE: Palestine.

VOICE: It is Palestine.

They have actually never recognized the state of Israel. They have always upheld the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and resistence. And this is beyond moral and rhetorical support.

They have actively armed and trained Palestinian resistance for decades. That includes the PLO, the (inaudible), have trained troops by the DPRK.

PAT: Wow. Isn't that great?

STU: Yay!

GLENN: Now, if you were listening to Friday's show, or Pat a couple weeks ago.

You heard the guy we had on. That said the United States government, took the Malaysian airliner. Opened up a wormhole. And sucked that plane through it.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: I would like them to prove that reality, with all of these stupid moronic kids.

Just open it up. At a college campus. Suck them out into space.

PAT: Yeah. We don't necessarily have a destination. They are just sucked into the wormhole.

GLENN: Yeah.

PAT: There they go. Well, I don't know where they went.

GLENN: That's weird.

STU: You will be shocked, by the way. If you're listening on the radio. Not seeing that clip. She is wearing a mask outdoors while saying all this. Of course.

GLENN: Yes. And looking over her mask to read.

She doesn't know this stuff.

STU: Reading this --

GLENN: She was either given this stuff. Or she went online. And she went, who else supports the Palestinians?

STU: She's like North Korea's Corrine Jean-Pierre. She is reading every word she's saying.

Propaganda.

GLENN: You know who else is with the Palestinians?

Hitler. Hey. That's not. That doesn't help you really.

The Dark Truth Behind Queer Theory & Gender ‘Affirmation’ For Children | Liz Wheeler & Glenn Beck

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…

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.
