THIS Stealth "REPUBLICAN" Move Could Give Democrats a HUGE Election Win

A stealthy ruling by a little-known court in Texas could hand the largest Republican state over to the Democrats in upcoming elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Glenn to expose the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which is supposedly made up of 9 "Republican" members. But it recently voted 8-1 to take a major power away from the Texas Attorney General that falls directly in line with the work of George Soros to "reform" state judicial systems. So, what gives? Paxton explains what this decision could lead to and what Texans can do to push back before it's too late.

GLENN: Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton. Welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

KEN: I'm doing well, thanks for having me back.

GLENN: Yeah. We have so many things to talk about. But I think the most important thing that I want to get to first, is the Court of Criminal Appeals. Texas is a weirdo state. And most states, I think 40 -- 48 of them, don't have this.

It's -- it's like a Supreme Court, if I'm not mistaken, but what is it its jurisdiction?

What do they do exactly?

KEN: We are a little weird. I think there's only one other state like us. That has a bifurcated system. Where some of the kids employ to the Texas Supreme Court. All the civil cases. And if you have on your final appeal, for a criminal case, it's the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.

It's split. And most Texans are not aware of this nine member court that is all Republican.

And most Republicans, even the most educated, don't know who is on that court.

GLENN: So this is becoming very, very important. And especially -- and you will know this in really deep red states. States like Utah.

Just because, it says Republican.

Does not mean they're not Republican. In Texas, a lot of times, Democrats just switch to Republican because they know they can get elected with an R behind their name.

And then you also have these horrible Republicans, who are, you know, Republican in name only, as we know it to be RINOs. And that's who is really on -- there's some that are good.

But there's a few of these guys on this court. And it is stopping the attorneys general office now, from prosecuting any kind of election fraud.

Which is a new thing, is it not, Ken?

KEN: Yeah. So this statute was passed by the legislature legally, under their Constitutional for the past legislation, and direct the attorneys general to do whatever they wanted to do, and they did that in 1951. We prosecuted literally.

We had almost a thousand cases being prosecuted when they struck this down two years ago.

It was suddenly struck down two years ago. Was suddenly struck down out of the blue.

And they made the argument that it was unconstitutional, violation of the separation of powers, because I'm the executive branch, for me, as attorney general to be in court.

It's their right -- every court prior to them.

Every case. Really, every attorney general of the country, is violating the Constitution.

And has since the founding of our country. If this nine member court, that voted eight-one, out of the blue, struck this law down.

GLENN: How did that happen?

KEN: I think, honestly, it's nine members. Nobody knows who they are.

We have one good one, Kevin Uri. And they waited until two days after the filing deadline, two years ago, to run against them. So we could not put up candidates, the last time.

So they got two year passes, the company forget about it.

They nominated to have me out. And because George Soros is put DAs in the liberal counties, I believe he is funding, along with a group called Texas for Lawsuit Reform, funding these candidates.

To ensure that we can't prosecute voter fraud in Texas.

GLENN: Okay. So there were -- there's a three-pronged approach going on here in Texas to turn Texas blue.

The first thing is George Soros coming in, and getting the DAs and all the big counties.

The second thing is get rid of our attorney general, and get somebody that won't fight back.

And the third thing is the Court of Appeals.

And I could -- I could probably flip those last two. And make the Court of Appeals. And then coming after you. And trying to get you out.

As the -- as the -- the final step.

They've already gotten out the first step done.

They have the Court of Appeals thousand.

They failed on getting rid of you. But if this doesn't change in the Court of Appeals, you can't bring up any fraud charges, for anything, this Houston, Dallas, or wherever it is.

But these main DAs are the only ones that can bring up fraud charges.

Well, if they're Soros people, that's not going to happen.

KEN: And they are Soros people.

I watched Soros unelect Democrats that were prosecuting all kinds of different crimes.

He came in, and put progressives in, who won't prosecute much of anything, including -- so they've got that in place. I believe right now, they have Court of Criminal Appeals in place, and they are coming after me again.

I have another trial, just like Trump in April. That has been sitting there for 9 years, in Court of Criminal Appeals, out of my home county.

Which is Republican, to Harris County, which is Democrat.

And the Democratic judges, all the way up, obviously, Democratic jury, and why did they do that?

Because after nine years, they decided they still needed to get rid of me. Because the impeachment didn't work. The election -- the attempted knocking me out in the election. And even having the federal government come after me, none of that has worked.

GLENN: It is amazing to me, this legal warfare. And I heard about this, maybe eight years ago. That they were starting to looking into ways to go against anybody who stands against them with the court system. And I thought, well, that's interest. But, you know, we have judges and we have juries and everything else.

It doesn't matter. If they pick the court, it doesn't matter.

KEN: That's exactly right. And think of for this. The criminal case. They moved me into Harris County, where my stances are much less at winning. And especially, if we have a democratic jury pool. And democratic whys. And then the Court of Criminal Appeals, has the final say.

I would say, my chances aren't very good.

I think they've done the same thing to Trump. They've put him in places like New York or Fulton county, where the process is slanted against you, heavily. And it's also obviously very expensive. Trump has resources that I obviously don't have.

That's the other thing, they try to drain you financially so you cannot run. And unfortunately, it's not just Democrats. This is the Karl Roves, you know, slash Bush wing of our party.

And it involved the Dick Weeklies of the world, the Texas Lawsuit Reform.

And other liberal groups that seem like they're Republican, but they're not -- they're not on our side.

GLENN: So the Texas for lawsuit reform, correct me if I'm wrong. Used to be, conservative.

It was a conservative group. But now the billionaires are involved, and Dick Weekley is one of them.

He's a construction guy, if I'm not mistaken.

And he and Karl Rove, and another guy, gosh, what's his name.

Dennis --

KEN: Calabrese.

GLENN: Calabrese. These three kind of really make the meat of the Texas lawsuit reform. One goes out, raises a lot of money.

A couple of them do actually. The other guy is the strategist.

And if I'm not mistaken, didn't Calabrese -- didn't he go -- he was part of the no bail action, wasn't he?

KEN: Yeah. So he was helping to work -- I think it was the trimming foundation.

Arnold's Foundation. Very progressive group on criminal matters. He was working with them, until he was accused of tax evasion.

Went to federal prison. But then he also was sued for taking some of their money. And there was a judgment against him, for I think eight and a half million dollars.

And then suddenly, that judgment gets paid and he's back with Dick Weekley, and Texas for Lawsuit Reform.

GLENN: Who paid that eight and a half million dollar judgment?

KEN: I have no idea.

GLENN: Maybe it was Hunter Biden's art friend.

KEN: You can guess.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. So he goes back to work, now he's for embezzlement. He's a criminal for embezzlement. He was part of the move to get all of these -- all of the bails dropped.

Why is a so-called conservative group and conservative like Dick Weekley. Why are they bringing him in?

KEN: Well, that's a good question. Except, if you look at where they're headed.

They've focused on taking out Republicans. They tend to fund now -- they'll refund Republicans.

But they'll give them so much money they're beholden to them. And they're not necessarily a conservative group anymore.

Their original purpose was to stop -- and now they've branched into all kinds of things. They're supporting -- they're putting millions of dollars behind the speaker, who is controlled by the Democrats.

And then they -- they give all of -- all of his people, you know, millions of dollars. And they control the Texas legislature. And it ends up not representing the voters.

Because now the voters, they don't even need their money. The House members don't even need their money.

So much of it is coming from Texas for lawsuit reform, and a group called ART, Associated Republicans of Texas, which Karl Rove is -- so they all work together.

GLENN: Karl Rove, we know him. Quite well.

He's -- all right. So who are the judges that are going up for election this year?

And this is going to be a tough up. Because nobody knows what the Court of Criminal Appeals is.

When you look at judges, you don't know -- you don't know how -- who these judges are. Nine out of ten times, and people will look, and they will go I don't know.

It's a Republican.

It's an independent. I don't know.

I'll vote for -- and you just guess. So you have three people coming up.

And Texans have got to know these names.

KEN: That's exactly right.

I think this is the most important election I've ever been involved in. Even in my election.

These three judges. We can't turn this court. We will not be able to prosecute border fraud. And we will be Georgia.

We will be Arizona.

We will be Wisconsin.

We will have the same result.

I was able to stop that with my great team last night.

But this is where we're headed in the next couple of years.

If no one cares about voter fraud, actually, gets to prosecute it.

So Gina Parker.

The three people we want to elect. Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck.

I'm going to repeat them one more time.

Gina Parker. David Schenck and Lee Finley. And it starts -- voting starts February 20th. This coming Tuesday. Early voting.

GLENN: Oh, jeez.

KEN: It's really critical, that people on your show, from Texas, spread the word.

And if you're not from Texas, realize, if we don't hold on to Texas. I mean, we are in trouble nationally. We can't win elections nationally.

GLENN: This is the number one thing that people say to me, you know, Glenn.

If we can't go after voter fraud.

If we can't clean it up. And I mean clean it up on our side, if there's any.

And their side.

Just fair voting.

If we can't prosecute this. If we can't go after it. Then we have no trust in the elections. And how do you have a republic?

Well, you don't. You don't.

In Texas, this is the solution to this.

If you can get three people. Gina Parker. Lee Finley. And David Schenck.

If you can get those three on to the board of criminal appeals, Court of Criminal Appeals, there's a chance that this thing could be overturned.

And the attorney general, didn't you have almost 400 cases, of voter fraud here in Texas, going on?

KEN: So we had over 600 counts that we were prosecuting, at the time they struck down.

All those got dismissed. We had a 392 investigation. Had to be halted because of this decision, out of the blue with no -- totally surprising us. So, no, we're not prosecuting. There's not a single case, in Texas, that is being prosecuted. Not a single voter fraud case by a single DA in this state. Maybe there's one. Maybe there's two. I can guarantee, you this is not being prosecuted in Texas anymore.

GLENN: God, it's bad. That's really bad. That's really bad.

KEN: So we can fix it.

If this election goes the right way, we'll still be down 5-4. But we'll be sending the message to the legislature, fix this. And the Court of Criminal Appeals will realize, we're coming to get the next one, if they don't fix this.

GLENN: Well, the same money behind these guys, if this is accurate, would be the people behind the Speaker of the House who is just a nightmare. A nightmare.

KEN: That's exactly right. That's exactly right. You will see money spent on these races for the first time, by the other side.

Because they know that we're getting the word out. So you'll see these TV ads, supporting these incumbent, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals judges. I've never seen money spent in these races. But we will see it.

And Texas for Lawsuit Reform. And other groups affiliated with them, are going to be involved.

GLENN: Stu, we need something like a jingle for Gina Parker, Lee Finley, and David Schenck. We need something -- I don't know how.

I don't know how you make those names stick. We need a jingle that we can play every day.

KEN: I'll work on it.

GLENN: Yeah. Okay. Good. You'll work on it. We'll work on it too, Ken.

I don't know how. As an audience, can somebody come up with something catchy that helps people remember. Because you have a week. You have a week to do this.

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…

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.

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.
