Will the Texas Panhandle Wildfires Affect YOUR Beef Prices?

Wildfires in Texas have destroyed hundreds of homes, over a million acres of land, and thousands of cattle. Will this affect your beef prices? And if so, how long will it take for the effects to be felt? Glenn speaks with general manager Joe Leathers of the Four Sixes Ranch, which was affected by the fire, about what you should expect. Joe also explains how the ranching community is helping those who have been immediately affected, including ranchers, cowboys, and families, and lays out how you can help as well: “Disaster memories are short,” he tells Glenn. “And when it rains, you’ll get a little green on the ground and people will forget. It’s gonna take YEARS to recover from this."

GLENN: I want to tell you a story of traumatic loss.

Tell you a story of courage, of togetherness, and the spirit of man.

At least two deaths have been confirmed in the Texas panhandle fires now. It's the largest wildfire in state history, with over a million acres burned.

Hundreds have lost their homes. And because rural Texans are twice as likely to forfeit homeowners insurance. The road ahead seems unfathomably difficult.

I want to play a voice of a 3-year-old, Addison. Addison realized, the only home she's ever known is now gone forever.

VOICE: You want your house? We'll get another house, okay.

GLENN: Her dad is Tyler McCain. He was working hard to become the first person in his family to ever pay off his house.

He was close. If you're watching Blaze TV, you can see the picture of what their home looks like right now. The only thing standing in the backyard is the metal swing set.

The catastrophic depths of this particular wildfire go one step further, and it will affect you. Texas leads America, by far, with the most cattle. And according to the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller, 85 percent of the state's cattle population, resides in the panhandle, where this fire happened.

He predicted during an interview with CBS News, that 10,000 cattle, will have died, or will have to be euthanized.

This is too horrific, to even think about. A lot of these cattle are still alive. But hooves have been burned off.

Their tattoos have been burned off. Their udders are burned off, and they have to be put down.

Oh, so while the death toll of human lives lost to these fires is low.

The loss of livelihood, is nothing like we've ever seen before.

Now, Dixon Creek, it's a division of the 6666 Ranch.

It was seen in the hit TV show, Yellowstone. That is just one of the ranches affected.

When the wildfire came near, general manager Joe Leathers said, the cowboys from other divisions, joined forces, with other ranchers.

Firefighters. Volunteers. They all fought the flames, and saved lives.

You probably have never met a real cowboy, but they are amazing people.

They are some of America's toughest. But can these ranchers and the cattle industry, actually, recover from this. Joe Leathers joins me now.

Joe, welcome.

JOE: Yeah. Good morning. How are you?

GLENN: I'm good. Better than you are.

This is just tragic, and I don't think people understand how bad this is, and how much it will affect them.

JOE: Well, Glenn, before we even start this -- this conversation. I want everybody to understand, you know, we're -- we've been business for over 150 years. And we've got three ranches.

We lost 27,000. Or 23,000 acres. In this particular fire.

But with that being said, that's -- we've been extremely blessed.

We've got options. And we didn't completely burn out, fence to fence.

We didn't lose massive amounts of cattle.

And we got a lot that are in far worse shape than us.

You know, I was at Dickson creek yesterday.

And we were moving cattle out of the burned area.

And, you know, as cows, and baby calves. It's calving season.

And that kids can't travel very far.

And a lot of them couldn't outrun the fire. And, you know, we were moving those cattle out to a country that had not burned, and we were able to adjust and send cattle to the feed lot. But long story short, when I went there, I went to the feed lot. Looked at some cattle we had sent up there.

And on my way back, I went through some of the burned area. And I didn't measure it. But for 30 to 40 miles, just through one particular area, it was black as far as I could see. Not a blade of grass.

Any funnies that had wood posts were burned up. And on the ground. Fire had burned up to the edge of homes. And, you know what, we've been through fires before. And I just -- I was telling my wife this morning, that, you know, when you're sitting there, looking at that burned up country. And you lost unaccounted for amount of cattle. And don't know what your future holds, it's a pretty devastating feeling. A long time to recover.

GLENN: I have to tell you, I got a call from my ranch manager yesterday. And he said, because we've had three sets of twins. And when that happens, the mamas can't feed both.

So they're usually -- we lost a calf yesterday. One calf.

I cannot imagine what it feels like to lose the cattle and to see them suffering on the ground -- I mean, this is just a horrific, horrific story.

JOE: It is. And that's not just the first time we've had a fire. This is obviously the largest. When it's over a million acres. And covers 2,000 square miles.

You're talking huge.

The Texas panhandle has had fires in the past. I've been through many of them. Several of them, in 25 years, at the ranch.

But it takes a toll on you. And the recovery.

And to watch -- to find kids or cows that are burned. And some of them have died. Well, it's -- it is heartbreaking. And then, you know, you find some that burn. And then you have to make the determination. Are they going to recover? Or are you going to have to put them down?

So that adds a whole 'nother emotional level to it.

GLENN: Yeah. Somebody had told me, they had seen a video, where someone was driving 60 miles an hour, and they could not outrun the fire at some point. Is that true?

JOE: Well, I don't know whether that story is true. But I can tell you this, I know from experience.

It can cover, with 60 miles an hour gusts. Anything gusting over 40 miles an hour. That -- it can -- it can cover 20,000 acres. Burn over 20,000 acres, in 30 minutes or less.

GLENN: Wow.

JOE: You know, unless you have some obstacle to slow it down. You know, a four-lane highway won't slow it down. It will jump the highways. And you can't -- firefighters can't fight something that's moving that fast.

You have to -- you've got to work from the sides. And you have to wait until the wetlands. There's nothing you can do to stop it.

GLENN: So you have -- the big impact of this fire is, you don't have -- you don't have any grass to feed your animals.

How can people -- I think there's like a hay hotline. This happens from time to time, where people who are growing hay and alfalfa, they ship it down to you. Is there anything organized on that yet?

JOE: Absolutely. Go to Texas Southwest Cattle Ranchers. TSCRA.org.

And they will -- on that website, there are places that you can spend hay, and drop hay.

And that way, the ranchers, in need, they will make sure it gets to the ones that need it.

And I'm going to tell you, they need hay. There are folks out there, that lost their homes.

They need home supplies. Fencing material. With 2,000 square miles, that's burned up. I don't know how many -- how many hundreds or thousands of miles there is of fence that has burned up, that's on the ground.

So those types of things, those are good things to take material to. Donations to.

Star fund. The state of Texas has a star fund. That's been set up. You can give financially.

And I have to share it with you, Glenn. I don't know how much time we have. But in 2010, we drafted out in Texas. You probably remember it.

STU: Yeah. I do.

GLENN: And we moved a lot of cattle.

The ranch moved a lot of cattle up north. What we discovered, the ranching community. You know, we talk about our neighbors across the fence.

But the ranching communities is the neighborhood from the Gulf Coast all the way to the Canadian border.

And I've had people that I've run cattle up north. Some of those states call me and say, we've got hay. Where does it need to go?

So we've been getting hay from Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Not to the ranch, but to these locations.

And, you know, a big deal now is -- you can get people to donate to hay, but they don't have any way to get it to Texas. And sometimes you don't have a way to get it from the centers where you bring the hay to. To get it distributed to the people in need.

So there's an opportunity there for truckers.

GLENN: Well, there's a lot in common with truckers and cowboys.

JOE: There is. But then the truckers have to pay bills too. They're willing to donate their time and their rigs, but it costs money.

So that's another way too, to give. And, I mean -- people's memories are sort.

Disaster memories are short.

And when it rains, you will get a little green on the ground. And people will forget.

It will take years for people to recover from this.

GLENN: So we will not see a price increase. I hate to bring it to this. We won't see a price increase, or we shouldn't.

Until next year, when everything is sold at auction. All these babies that are born right now. Are sold at auction.

What's the impact on the ability to buy meat in America.

JOE: None. You're not going to see any -- any immediate change, in -- in prices at the grocery store. You're not going to see a shortage of beef.

Here's the reality. Here's the reality.

The beef industry is -- is huge. It's a national industry.

And the -- the amount of cattle, even though it's very devastating to the individuals who lost the ranches. Who lost their homes. Who lost their livelihoods, who lost all this cattle.

That number that we have lost is a minute amount when you look at the overall numbers of cattle in the United States.

And I don't -- I don't foresee seeing a major increase in prices at the grocery store.

GLENN: Good.

Well, I -- I can't thank you enough for taking your time to share the story with us, Joe.

If you don't mind, I would like someone from my charitable arm, Mercury One, to reach out to see if we can help, for some of the cost for the hay or the truckers, or even help people rebuild their lives.

So if you don't mind, someone from Mercury One will be reaching out to you today.

JOE: Sure. They can reach out to me, but they can also go to the Star Fund, Texas Department of Agriculture website.

And that is a good, legitimate place to give.

And they will get it out to -- it's not the -- it's not statement.

It's individual money like the folks you're talking about.

GLENN: Okay.

JOE: And they will get it to the people that need it. As bad as they say it, there are crooks out there, that try to set up places. Where they can receive funds.

GLENN: Sure.

JOE: But just make sure you send it to a legitimate --

GLENN: Well, if you say the Texas agriculture dot.gov is good, I just don't want 30 cents or 40 cents of my dollar going to the state, and only 60 cents going back to you guys. But if you say that's good, that's good.

JOE: The star fund is a legitimate spot to give it. And it's not going to end up in some other state coffers. It will end up in the producer's hands, if needed.

GLENN: Okay. Thank you so much, Joe. God bless.

JOE: Yeah. Thank you all. Keep praying.

GLENN: You bet. The Star Fund. Also, you can go to Texas and Southwestern Cattle Ranchers Association. That's TSCRA.org.

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

In this explosive conversation, Glenn Beck and Liz Wheeler expose the disturbing roots of gender ideology and queer theory — and how these radical ideas are directly targeting children. From the shocking origins of queer theory, where pedophilia and child pornography were openly defended, to Planned Parenthood’s new role as one of the largest distributors of transgender hormone therapy, the truth is undeniable: this movement is not about freedom or equality, but about dismantling families, corrupting innocence, and profiting off of our children’s pain. What we are witnessing is nothing less than a satanic ideology dressed up as compassion — and it’s spreading like wildfire through schools, culture, and medicine. Parents, you need to hear this. The time to protect your children and fight back is NOW.

Here’s how INTENSE JFK’s Presidential Fitness Test was

President Trump recently signed an executive order to reinstate the Presidential Fitness Test and the media is in a frenzy. But Glenn and Stu look back at the history of these tests, including JFK’s version of the Test that seems IMPOSSIBLE for modern Americans. But Glenn has a secret reason for why he’s confident in his pull-up abilities…

GLENN: What is the -- what is the new physical -- the president's physical fitness, you know, plan?

STU: Well, the thing that RFK Jr and Hegseth were rolling out the other day. I don't know if it was the full test or anything, but they were issuing a challenge to America, to be able to do 100 pushups and 50 pullups within five minutes.

GLENN: That's crazy.

STU: Thank you! That struck you as also crazy.

I don't think there's ever been a time in my life, that I could do that. Let alone now with shoulder problems. And much too much weight.

GLENN: All right. But that was before I needed this walker.

STU: I don't think there was a time in my 20s or my teens, that I could do that. But that -- in five minutes? Fifty pullups?
GLENN: Both of them in 5 minutes.
STU: Yeah, both of them. So it's not like 100 pushups in five minutes. It's both tasks within five minutes.

GLENN: No. No. That's not true.

STU: RFK Jr. is just doing it in jeans.

GLENN: Yeah, well, RFK, he's -- he's a weirdo. I mean, he is. Come on. When it comes to fitness, he's a weirdo.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: I mean, he's done this his whole life. He's like 800 years old. He can still do it.

STU: Yes. Depressive, I will say.

GLENN: I don't know. He's a sex machine.

STU: Oh. That's been a problem for him. Yes, that's been an issue in his life. Yes.

GLENN: Okay. All right. Go ahead.

STU: Separate from the president's physical fitness test.

GLENN: Right.

STU: But, I mean, they don't, they don't really think we're going to do that, right?
Like, I mean, how long would that take you to do?

STU: I think for me, it would take a good month. I think a month, I could probably get two pullups a day. That would get me around, a little over 50. So I could do that. Plus, the pushups. A solid month, I could get that done.

GLENN: You could do more than two a day. You could do more than two a day.

STU: You know, Glenn, I've got to say. I think -- I will throw a number out there. No science behind this, so just as a guestimate.

I would say 40 percent of the population can't do any pullups. Maybe 30 percent. Thirty percent of the population can do exactly zero pullups. Precisely zero, so an infinite amount of time would be a correct answer for a third of the population.

GLENN: I think you're -- I think you're being -- I think you're being a little too optimistic. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. I think it's closer to 40 or 50. Maybe 60 percent.

STU: Right! Pushups are one thing. I mean, I think almost anyone can do a pushup. One --

GLENN: You can do a pushup. Yes. Yes.

STU: Singular pushup. And if you can do one, you can wait long enough, to do a second one.
And at some point, the hundred gets done. That's not the case with pullups. Pullups, you can sit there and think about how much you want to do a pullup for a really long time. But that doesn't make a pullup happen. If you've got a certain amount of weight on you. You're not doing a pullup. It's not occurring.

GLENN: I have no idea, how many pullups I can do.

STU: I have an exact number of pullups, you can do.

GLENN: Do you? You think so?

STU: Yeah. Yeah. I have the exact number. I have to calculate -- AI has been running a report on me. It came up with zero.

GLENN: Right. Right. Really?
I can do. I mean, this is so pathetic. Listen to this. I bet I could do three. You know, you could do three.

STU: In a row? Proper form.

GLENN: What do you mean in a row?

STU: I mean, holding on to the bar, without letting go, you're doing three. There's no way. I don't think so.

GLENN: I think I could do. Well, with proper form, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

STU: I'm not saying it has to look pretty. You have to get your chin up above the bar. It can't be one of those things, where you're a quarter of the way up there.

GLENN: So I can do one and rest for ten minutes. I could do another one.

I think I can do that.

STU: If you -- I'm not saying, you jump up, and you pull yourself up as you're pulling up. Full hang --

GLENN: See, you may not know this.

But you know what, I've done the DNA test. Have you ever done the DNA test that tells you all about your genes and everything else? Mine came back with something remarkable, and I have to share. You might feel bad, next.

STU: Coming up next, Glenn attempts live pullups on the air. Stay tuned!
(OUT AT 8:29 AM)

GLENN: You know no idea what who you're dealing with. No. You don't have any idea who you're dealing with here.

I got my DNA test back like 10 years ago. And we all -- we all took it, because we were looking for things. And so we all took it. My DNA test came back, and everybody in the family, their test made total sense. Like, oh, yeah. That makes...

Then we read mine. We have to find -- I have to find. See if Tania has it still. We should have had it framed. I swear to you, they -- they mixed me up with somebody else.

Somebody else is like, wait a minute. I'm this pathetic? Mine came out and said, you have the muscular structure of a -- of a -- something like a -- an elite athlete. You have the abilities and agility and everything else of an elite athlete. And I'm like, there's not a chance. I don't have any of that!

I don't even know if I have muscles. I have to check once in a while, and go, do I have muscles still?

Doctor is like, I don't know. Can I? Ask just press against my hand on the leg. I don't know.

You know, I don't know how to do that exactly. So --

STU: You sure it said elite athlete and not elephant? I mean, if they misspelled it.

GLENN: It was.

I was having eye problems at the time.

STU: No!

GLENN: I mean, we read it. And I was like Tania, I believe that for Tania.

Maybe they switched me and Tania. Because Tania is really strong. She'll kick your butt.

She works out every day. All of that. Me? Never. Never.

And it kind of makes me wonder, when I get to the other side, and the Lord went, okay.

So what did you do with your life again?

Because I gave this incredible body, and you wasted it the whole time.

And I'm like, you should have been more clear, okay?

You should have been more clear. I -- maybe I could have played basketball. But I tried once. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing. It was like sixth grade. And I'll never live -- I don't even want to think about my time on a basketball court. Okay? So don't -- don't start with me. You should have made it a little clearer. When I first started to do stuff. And I think that's fair. I think that's a fair argument. In my defense. In my defense, Your Honor, God, you should have made it a little more clear.

STU: Yeah. I mean, if they really wanted us to do this, then the 11th Commandment is 50 pushups, and -- or, 50 pullups and 100 pushups, right?

Like, put it in a commandment if you really want us to do it. You have to be more specific, we're Americans.

GLENN: Okay. So let me give you the top of the list for the JFK Presidential Fitness Test. Okay? This is what you had to do in high school. In high school.

Thirty-four pullups. Bar dips: Fifty-two. What's -- because I believe I did that. A long time. And I don't recommend it.

STU: It's not a barhop.

GLENN: Oh, it's -- oh, bar dips. Okay. Okay. All right.

Bar dips: 52. Handstand pushups: Fifty. What are handstands?

STU: Oh, my God. Handstands.

GLENN: I can't even stand on my hands. Is that I'm doing a handstand and a push up? Because that's not happening. You're not human.

STU: Yeah. You're balancing yourself on your hands. Your feet are above your hands on the wall. Like a wall. And you're doing --

GLENN: Oh, so you're balancing yourself. That makes it a little easier. Still impossible.

But a little easier.

GLENN: Impossible. You could do precisely zero of those.

Aright. So you had to do 50 handstand pushups.

Or one arm -- 30 -- no, sir.

Twenty-six one-arm burpees in 30 seconds. Is that a one-armed push up?

STU: No. Well, you're bracing your yourself like you're about to begin a pushup in a burpee with only one arm, which that's not that difficult.

But then you're doing. Then you're like, you move your feet towards your hands. And then you jump up in the air basically. And then you do it repeatedly.

GLENN: No, no, no. That's ridiculous. No.

STU: There's a law of gravity. You're not supposed to violate it. If it was a recommendation of gravity, then maybe jumping would be appropriate. But it's not. Follow the law.

GLENN: In 48 seconds, you had to do a 3300-yard shuttle. Now, I've been to the airport. I think I've done a 3300-yard shuttle, but it depends on who is driving. You know.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: Rope climb. Try this. Rope climb. Twenty feet, hands only! Sit start.

STU: That's what I remember from the president's physical fitness test. And I remember looking at that rope, like, no chance I could get up that thing.

GLENN: I remember looking up at that thing. Humiliation. Humiliation is coming my way. I'll never kiss a girl, because that ain't happening. I'll get maybe 10 feet up. Maybe. Maybe.

STU: And you were right for 24 years from that time, approximately.

GLENN: Agility run, 17 seconds. Extension pressups, what? What?

I'm sorry. Why am I so tired reading this?

Extension pressups. What's an extension pressup, 8-inch? You had to do 100 of them.

STU: Let's see. Exercise. An exercise for low-back pain involving lying on your stomach and pressing your upper body up with your arms while keeping your hips relaxed and down on the mat.

GLENN: Oh, I could do that know. 8 inches.

STU: The last part of it, relaxing down on the mat.
GLENN: That's what my doctor says I should be doing. What?

STU: I can do relaxed and down on the mat. That part of it --

GLENN: Yeah. I could do that -- I'm the only guy. I took yoga for a while, like three weeks. My wife is like, yoga. You could do yoga. Let's just do yoga together.

I did. And the yoga instructor said to me. Because we were doing a plank.

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: And she came and all I remember her waking me up. And saying, I think you're the only person I've ever -- ever taught that fell asleep in yoga. And I'm like, it's just so relaxing. Just let me sleep. Let me sleep.

STU: That's interesting, that you did yoga. Is there any footage of that? Any video that we could post? That would be good for --

GLENN: No. There's not. You had to do pegboard. Five trips of pegboard. And I think that's when you have the two pegs.

STU: Yes, it was a board.

GLENN: You have to take it out, and put it up, right?

STU: This is American Ninja Warrior. No way.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

STU: This is amazing.

GLENN: Try this one: You had to do a 45-second handstand. I've never been able to do a handstand. Never!

STU: Never.

GLENN: And I'm an elite athlete. I'm an elite athlete. Try this one: A man carry, 5 miles.

STU: What? What do you mean a --

GLENN: Five-mile man carry.

STU: Is a man carry as obvious as it --

GLENN: I think it is.

STU: You're carrying --

GLENN: If I'm going to carry that man, you have to carry me that man for five miles.

I'm not sure, I can't carry any man for any miles. I mean, if I am -- if I am a firefighter, count on burning in the house. You're going to burn in the house. Because I can't carry you out. I can get in there and go, yeah, I will have to leave you.
I will have to leave you here. I can't help you, sorry.

It's also getting really hot in here. I have to go. You had to do a five-mile jog. An obstacle course.

You had to swim prone for a mile. You had to swim underwater for 50 yards, any strokes, two minutes. Deep waterfront, hang float, with arms. What? What is a deep water hang float with arms. Wait. Wait.

It's a deep waterfront hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes.

What kind of al-Qaeda PE class was this?

STU: Who has access to -- who has access -- like, you're in the middle of the country, you may not have a deep water body nearby. This is -- are you sure this is an actual test?

GLENN: This is the actual test. This is the actual -- what is a deep water front hang float with arms and ankles tied for six minutes? Can you look that up?

STU: A deep water hang float is an aquatic hang float done in the deep end of a pool with the aid of flotation device, such as a noodle or belt.

In this position, the flotation twice supports your upper body, while your legs and torso hang freely beneath you.

That can't be what it is.

GLENN: You can do that.

Deep-end of the pool.

STU: Can you bring a margarita?

GLENN: Man, this test is no big deal.

What! No way. No way!

Here's the last thing on the test.

A vertical tread in an 8-foot circle for two hours!

No way.

STU: Vertical tread in an 8-foot circle?

GLENN: So you're in the water and you're treading water in a circle for two hours. Two!

STU: This is not -- what?

This is not the test.

GLENN: It is. Now, I told you, this is the top of the test.

This is the top of the test.

So this is for the ones who could do all the other tests.

This was the top of the test. The bottom of the test is not that much better. Here's the entry, okay? Let's see. Pullups, 2/6/10. I don't know what that means. Pushups, 16, 24, 32. Bar dips, four, eight, and 12. Situps, 30, 45, and 60. Broad jump, 6-foot, 6, 6, 6. And 6, 9.

To jump 6 feet? I don't even know if --

STU: That one is possible, yes. Glenn, I know it sounds incredible. But, yes. That one is possible.

GLENN: Sounds incredible. You know, I think we should have the average person Olympics. I really do. I really do.

STU: Oh, I would watch that.


GLENN: I would watch that every time.

You see them coming. And you're like, hmm. That one -- three feet. I'm giving him 3 feet. 200-yard shuttle. Agility run. Rope climb, 18 feet, hands only. 880 yards in three minutes. A mile in seven minutes. Pegboard, six holes. A 50-yard swim. Forty -- 40, 50-yard swim in 36 seconds. Man carry, 880 yards. No, thank you! No, thank you!

Look at -- look at what we've gone down. That's the bottom of it. And I don't think most Americans could do that.

I couldn't. Well, I could. Because I'm an elite -- I have the body of an elite athlete.

STU: No. You could not. Now, of course -- let's just say, this is supposed to be for a high school kid. Right?

So this is the prime of your athletic life. Could you do some of these things? Probably.
GLENN: Go into high school.
Go into any high school, and ask them to do this. There's no way. And all of the kids would be.

STU: Well, that's kind of what the reaction would be.

GLENN: Don't get me wrong. I would have been there too. And my parents would have said, suck it up. Just do it.

So nothing has really changed.

STU: That's been the reaction to this proposal too, of bringing this back. Right? The media is covering this. Like, it's going to embarrass children.

You know, I mean, I do remember it being like, I can't do that. I'm not going to the top of that rope. That's not happening.

That's sort of life. Right? Sometimes you can do things. Sometimes you can't do other things.

GLENN: That's why you have to learn how to injure yourself.

You know, how many stairs can I throw myself down, to not do serious damage, but enough to get me out of PE.

STU: Yeah, you have to fake an why are. You have to learn from LeBron James. Act like you got hit in the eye. And fall down like you were just stabbed over and over again, like you were in an athletic competition.

GLENN: There's no way. There's no way.

SHOCKING: Glenn Beck Interviews 'Detransitioner' Deceived by Doctors

Claire Abernathy was just 14-years-old when doctors told her parents she’d take her own life without hormones and surgery. They promised “gender care” would save her life. Instead, it left Claire with irreversible scars, broken trust, and a lifetime of regret. Her mom was told she was required to comply. No one ever addressed the bullying, or trauma Claire endured before being rushed into medical transition. Now, years later, both Claire and her mother are speaking out and exposing how families are misled, how doctors hide risks, and how children are left to pay the price. With federal investigations now underway, their story is a warning every parent needs to hear.
