Glenn: If THIS happens to the dollar, YOUR LIFE will COMPLETELY change

Is the U.S. dollar healthy, or is it currently experiencing a dangerous decline? Carol Roth, financial expert and author of the upcoming book ‘You Will Own Nothing,’ joins Glenn to explain how China — possibly with the help of Saudi Arabia — is ‘working on clawing their way up’ to end the petrodollar. And if that happens, Glenn says, life as you know it in America will be ‘completely different.’ So, in this clip, Carol explains why it’s HUGELY important to have a plan in place in case a dying dollar leads to international chaos…

GLENN: Carol Roth, the author of The War on Small Business and former investment banker who started to use her gifts for the good, instead of the evil, is joining me now. She's also got a new book coming out, the week after mine. And they are great hand-in-glove books. You Will Own Nothing.

Could the dollar get knocked off the top spot, as the world's reserve currency? Challenges are emerging, and history shows, that countries whose currency has dominated the globe, can fall from that global reserve, that top spot, pretty fast, even over the course of a few days. We didn't luck our way into this position. Listen to me carefully, it was a carefully engineered plan that unfolded in the mountains of New Hampshire, nearly 80 years ago. At the time, the British pound sterling, was the international currency. A title it had held for texting. But Bretton Woods changed everything. Now, this is actually -- these are not my words. These are the words of NPR. They just came out with this story. The US dollar conquered the world. Is it at risk of losing its top spot? I know because I've been talking about this for a long time. And everyone has said, that will never happen.

And I said, really? Yes, it will.

And places like NPR have always called me a conspiracy theorist, even though they said that Bretton Woods was a carefully engineered plan that unfolded in the mountains of New Hampshire nearly 80 years ago.

Who is the conspiracy theorist? It doesn't sound like me. It sounds like, if I am, NPR, you are too. But now Carol Roth is with us. Carol, now things are really starting to get serious, because as you said, we are falling ten times the rate than we have since 2003. And countries are getting serious. They -- you know, everybody always said, well, we're the worst -- or, we're the best of the worst. We're still bad.

CAROL: Cleanest shirt in the laundry. Skinniest kid at fat camp. Yes.

GLENN: Well, now the actual skinny kids are showing up at fat camp, and saying, yeah. And we're just getting into shape. And we're just -- we're just -- we're right around the corner. And countries are moving in that direction.

CAROL: So I have to tell you a little thing -- a tale on your Bretton Woods. This carefully crafted strategy.

One of the things I learned in researching You Will Own Nothing was from Jim Rickards. He's a fabulous economist.

GLENN: Great.

CAROL: He told me that you know who really crafted this plan? You know who was really behind this? It was Russia. That basically, Harry Dexter White, who was the negotiator. He was the secretary of the US Treasury. He was the negotiator for the US side.

That he was a Stalinist agent, and the entire plan was to knock Britain off of the pole position. That was the plan. They didn't even sign the agreement. They just hung out. They were there. They hung out in the back room. They didn't sign the agreement.

But our US Treasury Secretary, who was negotiating this, was a Stalinist agent. This has been backed up even on Vox.com. So, again, not conspiracy. I have it very well-cited once Jim told me.

Because it sounds kind of loony, but went back and did the research.

And this was actually Russia's plan that created this. And the entire focus, they didn't care about the US.

They wanted Britain out of that power position, because they felt like that would make them stronger. And I say this and I share this in this discussion, because I think that as history rhymes, we need to keep that in mind. That if there ends up being some sort of a global cabal that comes together, or a war, that there are people that are focused on this.

GLENN: Yes.

CAROL: Right now. It's Russia. It's China. It's China courting Saudi Arabia. And we have issues, not just with reserves, but also that the key piece. Because you asked me this one time offline. It's not just the reserves. The reserves allow us to finance debt cheaply at the government level, and create some arbitrage.

But really what is this pole position as well, is being a huge piece of the payments.

We dominate, dominate. And have not lost ground, by the way, on the payment side. But China.

GLENN: Hang on. You're talking about like the swift payment system.

CAROL: The global payment.

GLENN: Got it. If you talk about SWIFT. SWIFT is this international payment system, that connects the global banks. And says, this is what will happen in terms of global trade, $100 trillion a month goes through SWIFT.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

CAROL: And right now China only has about 2.4 percent of that. So they are working on clawing their way up. They are trying to make deals. They're trying to convince the Saudis to let everybody pay. Including them. Pay for oil and their currency. The yuan. And so obviously, they're kind of really focused on this. There was a China Arab conference last week, the first of -- the first one I think they've been doing for ten years.

And a few things were announced. One, the Bank of China is opening its first branch in Riyadh, which is the Saudi Capitol. And then out of that, I can read you this. I am going to quote this from CNBC.

The Saudi minister said: Saudi Arabia and China are part of a multi-polar world order. And their mutual interests are, quote, strong and rising.

So the Saudis, are playing both sides of this. Right, they don't want to give up, their sort of alliance with the US. But they see the weakness, and they see the weakness coming from our president. But they also see the weakness in terms of the attempted destruction of their own economy.

All of this green nonsense, that's being pushed in the US, and with the other G-7 countries. It threatens their livelihood.

So, of course, they're going to hedge their bets. China is the largest net importer of oil. And on a per capita basis, they use a fraction of what they do here in the US, so there's an opportunity for growth.

GLENN: Well, that's because some people have electricity, and most people have nothing.

CAROL: Exactly. Exactly.

GLENN: Right.

CAROL: So, you know, they are trying to say, you know, we're going to -- yes. We are the ones who said, you could have the petrodollar. And we are the ones who have been plowing our profits back into the Treasury. And you allowed us to do that and hid that fact. But, you know, now, you don't really look as strong as you're used to. So we're going to hedge our bets. And we don't really think you're going to do anything about it.

And this has not only economic implications, Glenn. But obviously military implications as well. Because one of the things that we provided the Saudis for allowing the petro dollar, and we're plowing their dollars back into Treasuries. Is we said, okay. Well, we'll help you out militarily.

Well, guess who is knocking on that door right now. That is China.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So someone asked me the other day, when do you think -- and I said, nobody could predict this. This could literally happen -- today is Thursday. Monday, you could wake up and the banks would all be closed. And we would be in a dire situation, because I don't know.

We went to Russia -- went to war with Russia overnight. Any big shock could trigger this.
And we might have big shocks that come and go. And we were just kind of coasting there.

We have no idea.

But what people have to really understand is: When it happens, life as you know it, in America, is completely different. Correct?

CAROL: Yeah. I think we've talked about this before. Sort of coming to grips with reality. You don't want to be in that situation. And just be processing that situation if and when it happens. You want to be prepared for it, and say, okay. I've gotten past the shock already.

I kind of expected this day might come. And, hey, I have a plan in place.

Because I know that there will be chaos. You know, you started with Bretton Woods. Once that Bretton Woods agreement was signed. It was something like 15 years, that it took to change out the global financial order, in a way that everything was sort of smoothly operating and the US was fully in that pole position. It didn't just happen one day to the next.

And there was chaos in these transition periods. And sometimes there are transition periods before there's a wholesale change. So you may have these -- these kind of interim periods of chaos.

And certainly, we've seen that domestically. In things like with the banking crisis. And the financial crisis, and the like. But there could be sort of an international chaotic period.

And that's why you really do need to have the diversification, in your portfolio, as well as that personal plan.

What are you doing in your personal life, and in your community. To make sure that something goes awry. And there is this chaos. What are you going to do to make it through that period? Again, this doesn't mean that the dollar is going away. It doesn't mean that the entire US economy collapses forever. It just means that the stakes are shifting. And everybody is telegraphing it. This is one thing I noted, in your upcoming book, Dark Future. I also talked about it, in you will own nothing.

Is the White House has telegraphed this. Joe Biden has said, there is a new world coming. And, quote, unquote, we have to lead that.

Now, of course he was talking to elite business people, so I'm assuming that means him and his friends. But this is not like a conspiracy at all. This is -- you type in Joe Biden, New World Order into Google. You will get tons of search results. We all know this is coming.

GLENN: And you will get from that same speech. As I have it in my book. You take the phrases that are in his speech, you type them out. And you have western leaders and world economic leaders, using exactly the same verbiage.

So they're all aware of something.

But you're not. Because media won't report on it. And anybody who does report on it, will say it's a conspiracy theorist. You're a conspiracy theorist.

It's not. They're all saying it.

CAROL: And you have to say to yourself, okay. The elite and wealthy people in the world know that the financial stakes are shifting. Are they going to just sit back and hope it works out for them?

Of course not. They will do everything in their power to make sure they are molding it and controlling it to whatever standpoint they can. And to make sure they and their cronies come out on top.

And that's where we take the conspiracy element out of it.

It's not so much that they intentionally want to keep you down.

They just want to keep themselves up. And they don't care what happens to you. And if you are at their expense, then so be it.

GLENN: Exactly right. So be it.

PAT: That's really the takeaway. And that's why you need to prepare, and make sure that you do the things, so that you can manage through this chaotic periods. And do everything you can so that you own as much as possible.

And will actually be happy, not the you will own nothing in the end.

GLENN: Right. Carol Roth from CarolRoth.com. If you go to CarolRoth.com/Glenn, you can find out more of her work and follow her.

She's really, really good.

She writes for TheBlaze, among other places. And she's written a new book called you will own nothing.

It will release July 18th. You can find it at CarolRoth.com. Or you can go to Amazon. I will tell you, when you buy my book or her book, it usually is. These people who bought this book, also bought that one.

They go hand in hand.

Mine is dark future. It is coming out a week before hers.

Mine is a -- much more of a, how this is going to control. And what their plan really is.

Carol is so much better than I am.

Of taking all of those plans, and saying, here's what you need to know, to do.

This is how you can save yourself.

And it's -- it's a fantastic book. You can get it, wherever books are sold.

Again, it is You Will Own Nothing, by Carol Roth, and my book at the same time. Dark Future.

Same topic. Not a lot of -- I shouldn't say that. I was going to say, not a lot of the same information.

Just presented in different ways. One to warn, one to say, here's how you protect yourself.

And Carol is great. Thank you so much, Carol. Appreciate it.

CAROL: Thank you so much. And, by the way, Glenn. Thank you so much. You are the number one endorsement on the back of the book.

I so appreciate it.

GLENN: Will you send me a copy?

CAROL: We sent it to you. We sent it to you. So you should have it any day. This is early release copy, because Glenn was so instrumental. You were the first person that I emailed. And I said, this is what I'm thinking. And you pushed me to go deep. And connect all these dots. So I'm just so grateful you to. And so grateful for Dark Future. And those being companion pieces together.

GLENN: Yeah, Carol, thank you. God bless.

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?

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.
