What MAHA Supporters MUST Know About IVF

President Trump has signed an executive order to look into ways to expand access to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). IVF has become a very controversial issue among conservatives, especially since many pro-lifers view it as just as bad as abortion. So, what's the truth? Glenn believes that we must have this tough conversation NOW, so he invited fellow BlazeTV host ‪@lizwheeler‬ to make the case against expanding IVF access: "the reality of IVF is not what it is portrayed to be. For every 1 of those beautiful babies that's born, about 15 babies are killed." Plus, Liz arguest that Trump and RFK Jr. must look at the fertility crisis through the MAHA agenda.

GLENN: I want to have a tough conversation with you. Because these are the things that we have to decide before we embed them in AI. We don't -- you know, we don't know our own morality.

What are we putting into AI? And this one is a very tough one. Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order to expand access to in vitro fertilization. IVF. That takes the egg of the mom and combines it with the sperm of the father, and puts it in a petri dish to create an embryo. A new life.

IVF re-creates the moment of conception, but in a lab. And it's a controversial process. Because at least those of us on the right. You know, we celebrate the creation of life. It's a miracle that a couple that can't have a child or struggling to conceive can. But on the other hand, a lot of the embryos created in the lab are discarded. And if you believe that life begins at conception, that means that you're throwing away, or worse, experimenting on new life. Liz Wheeler is here to take us through this maze. Hello, Liz. How are you?

LIZ: Hi, Glenn, thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet.

So, you know, I saw that -- you said, over 90 percent of the children created by IVF die, either left frozen or abandoned, destroyed due to eugenics, experimented on, or miscarried. Only 7 percent are born.

What is the real -- make an argument for somebody who may not believe the petri dish is the beginning of life. Can you?

LIZ: Yeah. I want to start by saying that this is such a gut-wrenching topic to talk about.

GLENN: Yes.

LIZ: Because every baby born, regardless of the circumstances of their conception. Is beautiful and worthy of dignity.

And has value. And should be celebrated. So all those beautiful babies that were created by IVF are not less though Because that was the circumstances of their conception.

GLENN: Correct. It's still a natural process.

It's just making it happen in a lab. But it's still the miracle of life when you put those two things together.

LIZ: Of course. Those children are still made in the image and dignity, the likeness of God.

I also am deeply empathetic, to women who -- couples -- married couples who are trying to conceive, and are struggling to conceive.

Before I had my first daughter, my eldest is 4 years old, I struggled to conceive for three years. And I lost a baby. And it's horrendous. It's the worst thing that's ever happened. And so I understand how emotionally fraught this topic is. Because if you're given this opportunity, you know, if IVF can fulfill this deep desire in your heart to have a baby, I fully empathize with that.

But all that being said, the reality of in vitro fertilization is not what it's portrayed to be.

Because for every one of those beautiful babies that are born, about 15 babies are killed. So it's not a pro-life endeavor to support in vitro fertilization. As a solution to the infertility crisis that we are suffering in this nation, and we are suffering an infertility crisis in this nation. We've never experienced a point in world history where one out of six, or one of seven women are struggling to conceive, where you have to make an active choice to try to have a baby versus just it happening, you know. Doing what comes naturally.

GLENN: Right.

LIZ: And my -- my argument against in vitro fertilization is a couple of things: First of all, it's anti-MAHA, right? One of the exciting things about the Trump administration is he chose Bobby Kennedy to partner with him, to actually investigate the root causes of the chronic health crisis in our nation. We're so excited about this.

I mean, thank you, President Trump for choosing Bobby Kennedy. Thank you, Bobby Kennedy for never giving up.

And for praying every day for this opportunity. But let's apply that same philosophy to the fertility crisis. Let's not just put a Band-Aid over this.

Let's go to the root cause and say, hey, why is women's fertility struggling right now? What could be causing that? Because that's not how it is supposed to be, and let's fix it.

GLENN: Hang on just a second. This is a really amazing stat. The rate of fertility in the United States dropped 3 percent in 2023 from 2022. From 2014 to 2020, the rate consistently decreased by 2 percent annually. There is something happening with our bodies.

LIZ: Deeply wrong. Yes, there is. I mean, it's the same thing. To be honest, it's the same thing that's happening with our children. We have Big Pharma and big food. And it's poisoning our bodies. It's disrupting our endocrine system. It's disrupting our hormones and resulting -- testosterone levels, sperm counts are falling.

Like, there are identifiable things, measurable things that are happening to our bodies. That we can reverse. If we stop letting big food and Big Pharma dictate.

That's where it gets back to IVF. So big Pharma, this is a cash cow off of Big Pharma. They make a ton of money off of in vitro fertilization. Which means, they are unwilling. Just like during COVID, when they were unwilling to say maybe hydroxychloroquine. Maybe ivermectin.

Don't know! They only wanted the vaccine because it profited them. It's similar to this.

They don't want to look at restorative fertility. They don't want to look at natural technology. They don't want to look at these other options that are healthier and more effective and more humane and more ethical because they don't profit from those things.

So then we get to some of these numbers here. And these numbers are really what break your heart. When you kind of zoom out and look at in vitro. So according to the CDC, just in the year 2021, there were 238,000 women who underwent IVF treatment, who underwent this procedure.

Now, every time that a woman undergoes this procedure anywhere. This is an unregulated industry.

So anywhere between five and 15 embryos are created. Multiple of those embryos are then implanted in the woman.

However, getting back into the statistic you started this segment with. Over 90 percent -- 93 percent of those never are -- they are not born live. They are either -- all 15 aren't implanted into the woman. Many of them will frozen.

They're, quote, unquote, screened for bad genetics, which is an epidemic. They look for characteristics that they might not want in the child. And then they destroy and experiment on those embryos. And because in vitro does not address a woman's hormones and fertility in her body. Oftentimes, she miscarries.

So the risk of miscarriage with in vitro is much, much, much higher than an ordinary pregnancy or restorative fertility.

So then you have this 238,000 women who underwent this. They have ten, seven, eight, ten embryos that were created. That's about one and a half to 2 million embryos created a year. And yet, in 2021, fewer than 100,000 babies were born from in vitro which means that anywhere between 1.5 and 1.8 embryos, which, Glenn, we know scientifically, spiritually, and ethically, human life was destroyed, discarded. Experimented, or remain in a freezer somewhere, you know, indefinitely. Which is more children are dying from in vitro than are dying from abortion in the United States of America.

GLENN: So this is absolutely heartbreaking.

Because, you know, my wife and I struggled. We adopted. And we struggled to have a child.

And, boy, when -- you know, when a woman wants to have a baby and can't, it just screws with your mind, so badly.

And it's heartbreaking, when a couple wants to have a child. And there's so many children that are being aborted.

And you're like, let me take them!

Please, let me take them. But this, when you say the pharmaceutical companies like this, because they're getting rich. The cost is between 12,000 to 25,000 per cycle!

And it takes several cycles, usually to take. So, you know, it's wildly expensive.

What does Trump mean when he says he wants to make it easier to access? Do you know?

LIZ: Well, that's the thing about this executive order. And President Trump is a very open-minded individual. One of my favorite things about him, actually besides how hilarious he is on Truth Social. Is that he listens to those who voted for him. I think this sets him apart from almost any other politician that I've ever known in my lifetime. The executive order is not entirely specific. It actually just requests a report on how to make in vitro fertilization more accessible. And so what I would encourage President Trump and his team to do.

What I would request from them, is, you know, think outside the box here.

Look at -- look at in vitro through the lens of make America healthy again. Say, wait a second.

We are here to DOGE the corruption that exists between government and, you know, Big Pharma or big food, or whatever. DEI programs. All this stuff that President Trump has Elon Musk doing that we're all delighted with.

Apply that philosophy to this on too. To make sure when you're looking at in vitro fertilization, you're looking at it through the lens of, hey! Is Big Pharma lying to women? Lying to families to profit themselves. Is this essentially that's actually harmful for our country? Because someone else wants to make money?

And, meanwhile, they're hiding from women, the fact that if you undergo in vitro, your child is more likely to have heart defects.

And, you know, physical deformities in addition to miscarrying. In addition to all of those innocent lives that are being -- that are being put on ice, quite literally, and being discarded.

And, Glenn, one of the things that really chills me when I talk about, or when I research IVF. When we're talking about it, is this genetic screening. These embryos are given ratings on a scale of one to ten. Is this healthy?

Is this not healthy? Do they have desirable characteristics.

To me, that's just -- if it's not eugenics right now. Which I would argue it is.

It's a road to eugenics.

Trump's executive order. I would encourage him to really focus on restorative reproductive health. Focus on natural technology. Focus on MAHA.

We can fix this crisis. We all want more babies. We all want the United States to have an incredible baby boom. I share that desire with them. I think it's wonderful that he wants to be pro-family. But let's do this right. Let's do this in a way that's never been done before.

GLENN: So where does Bobby Kennedy -- I mean, is this a passion point for him at all, on at least restorative health for the pregnancy rate?

JASON: One of the interesting things about Bobby Kennedy is his cues. He's actually, he's often portrayed as an anti-vaxxer. He is so open-minded to wherever the data leads him.

And if he is presented with evidence that women's fertility. This is not how our body's were intended to work. We were intended to be very fertile.

And something that we're doing. Some intervention, environmental, food, Pharma, whatever it is, stress, technology.

This combination. This culmination. If something is not correct, then he wants to fix that.

GLENN: But it's not just happening here in America, it is happening all over the world.

LIZ: It is, yes.

And but what's interesting is the fertility crisis is happening in nations who have adopted more of a western mindset to medicine. Meaning Pharma and also food.

GLENN: Yes! Liz, thank you very much for taking us through this. If people want to get involved, how -- what would you suggest?

LIZ: I would suggest reaching out to President Trump. Get on X. Email. Call.

Make your voices heard. And if it's tough topics and emotionally fraught topics, there's a compassionate way to handle it. We obviously should handle this in a very compassionate way. But encourage President Trump to look at the reality of the IVF industry. Because at the end of the day. For every one life that is born. About 15 babies are killed in this process.

And we as a nation should not accept that morally.

GLENN: Liz, thank you very much. Love you. God bless. She is the author of hide your children.

She's also a Blaze TV host of the Liz Wheeler Show, which is -- she's really, really very smart and just really logical.

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.

Glenn's "secret" to conquering the JFK fitness test

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.

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.
