The TERRIFYING & AMAZING realities of brain chip implants

Elon Musk’s company Neuralink recently announced it hopes to begin human trials in six months. Neuralink develops ‘implantable brain-computer interfaces,’ or more simply, chips for your brain. And the health benefits could be AMAZING, Glenn says, especially for those with brain injuries. But the downsides of technological developments like this one can be TERRIFYING, too...especially if they're placed into the wrong hands.

GLENN: By the way, did you hear the Neuralink thing? In human testing now.

This is -- gang, I know -- if you're a long-time listener. I know 20 years ago, you thought, I was just a babbling madman. When I would talk to you about the singularity. And talk to you about what tech was going to be like.

Ten years ago. Same thing. Five years ago, maybe you started going, I don't know. I mean, I guess people are talking about it.

Two years ago, same thing.

You need to understand the singularity. Because it's on our doorstep. And that is through Elon Musk. And neural link.

It will be heralded as a great thing. And believe me, as a father of a daughter who has had strokes, this would change her. It would make her probably whole. Because the problem with strokes is the pathways for information. If you think of the brain as a road map, there are bridges that are out. And so, it takes longer for information to go from one place to another. And sometimes, it can't go there at all.

STU: Right.

GLENN: What neural link promises to do, is to bridge from one part of the brain to the other part of the brain. Electronically.

STU: Incredible.

GLENN: It's incredible. Absolutely incredible.

STU: And has the potential to be a miracle, if it were --

GLENN: A miracle. People. If you had a stroke, you could go back to -- the promise is -- the hope is, back to the way you were before the stroke. I mean, that's -- that's a miracle.

However, it also would connect to the internet. And it is Elon Musk's way of saying, we've got to come up with something fast and cheap. Because this is what the left is going to do. And people want to control. And there's got to be something out there, that will be a good version of this. Where if you want to learn Spanish, you just download it. I mean, it's very matrix. It's here. Tonight dismiss this. It's here.

STU: Is neural link the same as AI.

GLENN: No. It's the beginning.

STU: Neural link is more health type reasons, isn't it?

GLENN: No. It's to digitize the brain for health reasons.

STU: Okay.

GLENN: But that's step one. The other steps, as it goes, links you to the internet.

So you can download and upload information. And remember, that's a pipe in your head. This is when the -- this is when economic forum says, yes.

We've lost some privacy. People know what I'm doing. Know where I am. Know what I'm thinking. Even what I'm dreaming. But it's all worth it, okay? That's what they mean.

Because you will be -- the government or these institutions or whatever. Will be able to go into your head. And know what you're thinking. Because you're using the back bone of the internet to think and research. And it can go into your head and retrieve dreams. It's extraordinarily dangerous.

STU: To think targeted advertising uses this. Like every time I think about Taco Bell. I get a coupon from Taco Bell. I mean --

GLENN: Or all the times you don't think about Taco Bell. And yet, you're thinking about Taco Bell.

STU: Should be.

There can't be more times I'm thinking about Taco Bell. That's not possible.

GLENN: If you're like most Americans. Have you heard what McDonald's is doing? I want one. I want one. Anyway, if you're like most Americans, you can probably spend a significant amount of your time just thinking about how to make more money. Or at least save more money, back more than you currently do.

Nothing is wrong with that. It's good to be aware how your financial house is holding up. And especially about the business of trying to make it more secure. Especially in this economy.

This is where you need to give American Financing the call. If you own a home, let one of their dedicated mortgage specialists help you examine your options. Right now, you can literally be saving hundreds of dollars per month. Maybe as much as a thousand. What would you do with an extra 12 grand per year. What could you pay off. With an extra 12 grand a year.

For over two decades, American Financing has been helping people just like you find ways to make their finances work for them. Call American Financing. 800-906-2440. It's AmericanFinancing.net.

GLENN: So I want to talk to you a little bit about this rail strike. And I don't know about you. But, I mean, I'm not passionate about --

STU: Right.

GLENN: -- either side.

However, however, I do think --

STU: I'm worried about the consequences of it.

GLENN: Well, I'm also. I think I'm actually -- if it is, as is presented. Which I don't believe anything anymore.

But if it is as presented, these train companies can't let their employees have a few extra days for sick-leave?

STU: Yeah. I'm sure it's more complicated than that. That's the story from the media. I just don't want them to have a sick day. They interviewed a guy. I'm at home with the flu. And I have to have vacation time. Obviously, that's not the way it should be. Is that the only issue? Really?

GLENN: Yeah, so I'm not patient about it, because I don't believe either side. However, a couple of things.

One, the media said, Joe Biden solved this right before the election.

STU: Right. So he had all the preelection benefits of solving this crisis. And he found out later, well, no. It wasn't real.

GLENN: We actually knew. Everyone knew. But only sources said, he didn't solve it. He passed the buck, and it will happen in December.

The other thing that is quite concerning on this, is Mr. Most -- biggest union supporter --

STU: Job.

GLENN: Supporter of any president in the history of the United States, he also bails out the railroads all the time. Okay?

So government money is going to the business of railroads as well. He can't get a few sick days? This guy is toothless. Absolutely toothless.

STU: Completely incompetent. Or something else is going on.

GLENN: Yeah. And the media, again, the biggest problem, because you don't know what a rail strike would do to you and the country. In quick fashion.
(OUT AT 9:58AM)
HOUR 3

GLENN: I have to tell you, there's some science news that is absolutely mind-boggling, that is out today. I just want to take a break, and just show you a glimpse of what we're dealing with, and what's coming our way.

We do that in 60 seconds. You ever find yourself just waiting for the other shoe to drop? Sometimes I do. Yeah. Sometimes.

Not a good place to be in. The next crisis is right around the corner. It's there. There's always something. This is to remind you, how important it is, to have a supply of emergency food.

The best place to get that is from My Patriot Supply. We were just talking about the railroad strike. Congress just passed a bill to the unions to accept this deal.

It's going to go to the Senate, Bernie Sanders says he's going to stop it. I doubt he will. However, if he did, really bad. Really bad things. You can't have a rail strike now. It would shut the economy down. How do you get your food? If it's not shipped first on rail and then on trucks? My Patriot Supply is there. May I highly recommend that we are so unstable now as a planet, that it would be good to have you know four weeks emergency food.

Right now, you can save 25 percent on each four-week emergency food kit you need.

You'll get at least one for each member of your family. Getting the food doesn't mean you're losing hope. It means you're eliminating the fear. And seeing your family suffer. Once you have that out of the way, you don't worry about things. You won't regret it. Please, go to preparewithGlenn.com. That's preparewithGlenn.com.

Do it now.

Prepare with Glenn.com.

So, Stu, there are two stories I barely understand. Let me start with the one that I'm really a little foggy on. For any mammal, the loss of the Y chromosome should mean the loss of males and the demise of the species. However, the Amami spiny rat manages without a Y chromosome. And has puzzled biologists for decades. Now, a Japanese scientist and her colleagues have shown that one of the rat's normal chromosomes effectively evolved into a new male sex chromosome. I hate to get all sciencey. Because I don't know how these rats identify. I don't know any of their pronouns or anything else.

STU: Oh, no.

GLENN: So the reason why this is important, is because the Y chromosome seems to be getting weaker and weaker. And in a lot of mammals, including man.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And once you lose the Y, then what happens? You've only got females.

End of the species. So that's why they're looking into this. Because they believe that we are headed for the same kind of thing.

STU: The end of the species. I think just involving car accidents.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh. Only women drivers. It would be crazy. And women presidents and CEOs.

STU: Gosh, just shut the thing down.

GLENN: Lord, please come down.

Anyway, so --

STU: So stupid. That's largely just to piss off Sara in the other room.

GLENN: Oh, it is. Largely?

100 percent.

STU: And, of course, the fact that it's true.

GLENN: Right.

So the next story is a quantum computer has simulated a wormhole for the first time.

Now, do you know what a wormhole is?

STU: It's a space thing. It's like a sciencey space thing.

GLENN: Yeah. So it's like you take a piece of paper, and you fold it in half. And then you I think fold it again. And you put a little hole in it.

And you would see, that there would be two holes, in the piece of paper.

STU: Yeah. Looks like a mask. With the eye holes.

GLENN: In fact, it's almost the perfect mask.

Okay. So -- and probably Fauci would have me wear this.

Anyway, so a wormhole is a way to collapse the distance in between those two holes. Okay?

In space.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And then they are right -- you go through one hole, and you're right there. Because they're next to each other.

STU: Right. Instantly.

GLENN: If space is folding. So that's the idea of a wormhole. You could travel great distances through that. Quickly.

So this is just been a theory. Scientists with a quantity uncle computer, have just simulated a wormhole for the very first time.

Now, it gets very complex, because they say, it was a holographic. But it's not exactly a holograph. It's -- they're just -- they just simplified things by taking gravity out of the equation, which gets into i Phone and the theory of relativity. So they had to have something that took relativity out. And see if they could simulate this. Well, they did. And what this means is, you could have, without any wires, cables, Wi-Fi, nothing!

You can take something, digitally, and send it from let's say, my desk, to a desk in London. Paragraph and it would exist in both places.

And you could close one of the doors, and it would either come back to me, and only be here. Or I could close my door, and it would be in London.

They just did this. This changes everything!

This changes everything. This is -- you remember i Phone when he was -- they talked to him about quantum physics. He said, God doesn't play dice.

Meaning, there is no super -- there is no super position of -- of a molecule, or I don't even know. Of a cubit they're new called. It can't be both positive and negative. It can't be both one and a zero.

But quantum says, yes, it can. That led him to say, God doesn't play dice.

It doesn't work that way. Remember, the theory of relativity is only a theory. It's the best theory we have on how things work.

Quantum buildings up, and says, I don't think the basic soup -- I don't think it really goes with any of those physics.

I think it breaks down at some point, and starts behaving completely illogically.

This shows that Einstein may have been wrong. Maybe God is playing dice.

This -- this -- this -- the things that we have on the horizon, are so ground-breaking. And just quantum computing. All of this stuff, will change life. In ways we -- it's like we're standing in the 12 hundreds. And trying to imagine today.

But it's going to happen in the next 50 years.

STU: Do we have any idea, where this would end up? Like, what would be the endgame of this type of technology --

GLENN: The biggest thing of quantum computing, is you will probably solve cancer in a week. You will solve these problems that cannot be solved.

Because it can model a million different things, all at the same time. So remember, Einstein -- Edison said, you know, I didn't find a -- a -- I didn't fail a thousand times. I found a thousand ways, the lightbulb doesn't work.

That will -- you'll only fail -- you'll fail and succeed, one time.

Because you'll try all of the combinations, all at once.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And you'll have the answer.

STU: It feels like, there are so many things right now, on the fringes of science. Like where we are really -- where scientists are -- are playing, right?

They're at the very edges of understanding. Where they can go. But see the path forward. You know some of these problems like this one. Are just beginning to be solved. And there are so many different directions. Whether we talked about the singularity. Or whether it's quantum computing.

Or all sorts of different technologies. That it feels like, one of these is going to hit in a way, that totally changes the world, almost immediately.

GLENN: But in a way, let's look at the telephone for a minute. Put yourself back at Alexander who can't mean bell's time. Alexander Graham Bell comes up with this, this is great. Look at this. No one is going to have a telephone for a long time?

STU: That's what they say about everything. Even electricity.

GLENN: They say, I'll go to the town square, that has electricity. And I'll be able to call Washington, if I needed to talk to the president, if it was an emergency. They were thinking like that. They would have never thought. Think of the phone today.

It's no longer cordless. I mean, it's no longer corded.

STU: Right.

GLENN: It doesn't work with -- with wires. It doesn't -- it's a television. It's a camera.

I mean --

STU: It's no longer really even for phone conversations.

GLENN: Right.

STU: And that's I think a really interesting example for how this goes. Think of singularity for a second. Eventually, we merge with machines. My very terrible understanding of it. Eventually, we merge with computers. Where we're able to access information, instantly. Because we have maybe a chip in our head or whatever.

That allows us --

GLENN: Right. And we also have nanobot technology, in our bloodstream, that is keeping you alive. You don't have to take medicine anymore. The nanobots are programmed to take care of your body. And it repairs itself, through technology. Which is connected to AI. A giant machine, outside of your body.

STU: Right. So you're one with AI. You're one with machines. You're a hybrid person.

GLENN: That's the singularity.

STU: That's the singularity.

If you think about, let's say for information purposes. You want to get an answer something. In this world of the singularity, you want to know who is you know the president of France in 2004, right?

It would instantly, you would be able to access that information instantly, inside your brain.

GLENN: Yeah. Right now, you would have to go to Google, open up Google, and type in your question.

STU: Right.

GLENN: The singularity, where it would be imagined to be used at its highest level. Who was the president of France?

Oh, it was so-and-so.

STU: Right. You would know immediately.

GLENN: The minute you think it, the answer is there. Because you're connected to everything.

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…

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.

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.
